Perhaps God isn’t real, but the love and community in this church is. And perhaps that is God.
Alcohol & Weight-loss
I got an email today about alcohol and weight-loss. I agreed with it entirely. The email talked about how you can’t lose weight while drinking excessively. They defined excessively as more than one drink a day. The medical board has very defined limits on what is considered binge drinking and many doctors agree that drinking a dark beer once a day is very beneficial to your blood pressure and lowered hypertension. However, if you drink you can’t have more than one drink a day and if you stop drinking the one beer a day for any length of time you lose all the health benefits.
But drinking and trying to lose weight is a horrible thing. You won’t be able to lose weight, and you’ll probably become depressed because you can’t. The alcohol will only make the situation worse. I have always wondered why my friends always dieted and then continued to get drunk every night. It doesn’t work. They never lost any weight, and I think that they may have even gained some weight. I’m glad that I never picked up binge drinking like so many people my age. Beer makes you fat and dieting and beer just don’t mix.
Take a look at my other posts about liver damage and alcohol and then think about if you want to restrict your calories and keep that beer in your hand.

Have You Had Your Silver Today?
I received an article about the wonders of Silver. When I first heard about silver I thought it was going to be about making money, but it was about natural healing. The article talked about how silver has been around for thousands of years and how people have used it to heal all sorts of things in their lives.
I asked a nursing friend of mine if she had ever heard of it and she said that they use silver all of the time in the medical field. They put it babies eyes when they are first born to fight infections, they use it on wounds, and they even use silver coils to treat aneurysms. It sounds like nature and science have finally met up with each other and created something amazing.
Silver can be bought as a liquid or a gel. I started using it for an ear infection and it’s just about gone now and I have only used it a few times. Much faster than antibiotics. Here are a few more benefits of silver shield:
Fights MRSA, eye infections, toxic shock, food poisoning, ear infections, throat and sinus infections, Bubonic Plague(wow), urinary tract infections, pneumonia, meningitis, tooth decay, flu, hepatitis, and so much more. I have a bottle in my bathroom. I am actually going to put those drops in right now.
Songs of Krishna — 2
The sun scalds me to death by day,
And the night moon crushes me with sorrow.
How can I suffer my life, dear friend,
Sleep never visits my eyes.
I have moistened my skin
With cooling sandal paste,
And still I am seared by separation.
Break the earth open, O friend,
I would enter her womb
And hide…
Plants plants plants
What are you doing with your plants? I’ve been looking at this book called ” The Secret Life of Plants” It’s about how plants react to people. It goes into ESP and EKGs. Pretty exciting. At one point a woman ripped two leaves off of a plant, placed one on her nightstand and the other on the counter in a different room. For a whole month she would “will” the leaf on her nightstand to live and ignored the other leaf. The leaf on her nightstand lived and the other died. I wonder if it is that easy to just make things live.
Just a thought
Meanness, pettiness, weakness, spring from lack of knowledge of our true heritage.
Songs of Krishna — 1
The night vomits lamp-black.
As fierce snakes straggle
On the path to the tryst,
Lightning crashes with fearful force
And clouds in wrath explode.
Dear love, I shy of shapping words.
And yet, with courage in my heart today,
I resigned myself to my fate.
Shall we then fulfull our promise
And let it befall us?
Heat knows no limits.
A Sweet Killer
I received this email last week and I was amazed. I am glad that I stopped drinking diet soda, if I hadn’t then this email would have prompted me to quit. I shared this email with my pastor and told her to pass it on to the people at church who had MS. I know that one of them drink diet drinks and they could just be misdiagnosed with MS. Hopefully you send this to everyone you know. It is really worth the read.

This is important for all to read.
I have proven the following information below to be true
I’m diabetic and on medicine. My doctor does blood work quarterly to check blood sugars (called A1C). In addition I have my eyes checked for any complications from diabetic issues.
One problem I was having, when I would get up in the morning and sometimes during the day, I would have these conditions where I would see something that looked like electrical wave patterns across the eyes. I told my medical eye doctor.
My eye doctor asked me if I was drinking any diet soda. Yes, because of the sugars in regular soda. I don’t really drink that much. She instructed me to stop drinking diet soda’s. I did and the condition went away.

SWEET POISON…A MUST READ!
In October of 2001, my sister started getting very sick She had stomach spasms and she was having a hard time getting around. Walking was a major chore. It took everything she had just to get out of bed; she was in so much pain.
By March 2002, she had undergone several tissue and muscle biopsies and was on 24 various prescription medications. The doctors could not determine what was wrong with her. She was in so much pain, and so sick she just knew she was dying.
She put her house, bank accounts, life insurance, etc., in her oldest daughter’s name, and made sure that her younger children were to be taken care of.
She also wanted her last hooray, so she planned a trip to Florida (basically in a wheelchair) for March 22nd.
On March 19, I called her to ask how her most recent tests went, and she said they didn’t find anything on the test, but they believe she had MS.
I recalled an article a friend of mine e-mailed to me and I asked my sister if she drank diet soda? She told me that she did. As a matter of fact, she was getting ready to crack one open that moment.
I told her not to open it, and to stop drinking the diet soda! I e-mailed her an article my friend, a lawyer, had sent. My sister called me within 32 hours after our phone conversation and told me she had stopped drinking the diet soda AND she could walk! The muscle spasms went away. She said she didn’t feel 100% but, she sure felt a lot better.
She told me she was going to her doctor with this article and would call me when she got home.
Well, she called me, and said her doctor was amazed! He is going to call all of his MS patients to find out if they consumed artificial sweeteners of any kind. In a nutshell, she was being poisoned by the Aspartame in the diet soda.. and literally dying a slow and miserable death.
When she got to Florida March 22, all she had to take was one pill, and that was a pill for the Aspartame poisoning! She is well on her way to a complete recovery. And she is walking! No wheelchair! This article saved her life.
If it says ‘SUGAR FREE’ on the label; DO NOT EVEN THINK ABOUT IT!
I have spent several days lecturing at the WORLD ENVIRONMENTAL CONFERENCE on ‘ASPARTAME,’ marketed as ‘Nutra Sweet,’ ‘Equal,’ and ‘Spoonful.’
In the keynote address by the EPA, it was announced that in the United States in 2001 there is an epidemic of multiple sclerosis and systemic lupus. It was difficult to determine exactly what toxin was causing this to be rampant. I stood up and said that I was there to lecture on exactly that subject.
I will explain why Aspartame is so dangerous: When the temperature of this sweetener exceeds 86 degrees F, the wood alcohol in ASPARTAME converts to formaldehyde and then to formic acid, which in turn causes metabolic acidosis. Formic acid is the poison found in the sting of fire ants. The methanol toxicity mimics, among other conditions, multiple sclerosis and systemic lupus.
Many people were being diagnosed in error. Although multiple sclerosis is not a death sentence, Methanol toxicity is!
Systemic lupus has become almost as rampant as multiple sclerosis, especially with Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi drinkers.
The victim usually does not know that the Aspartame is the culprit. He or she continues its use; irritating the lupus to such a degree that it may become a life-threatening condition. We have seen patients with systemic lupus become asymptotic, once taken off diet sodas.
In cases of those diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, most of the symptoms disappear. We’ve seen many cases where vision loss re- turned and hearing loss improved markedly.
This also applies to cases of tinnitus and fibromyalgia. During a lecture, I said, ‘If you are using ASPARTAME (Nutra Sweet, Equal, Spoonful, etc) and you suffer from fibromyalgia symptoms, spasms, shooting, pains, numbness in your legs,
Cramps,
Vertigo,
Dizziness,
Headaches,
Tinnitus,
Joint pain,
Unexplainable depression, anxiety attacks, slurred speech, blurred vision, or memory loss you probably have ASPARTAME poisoning!’ People were jumping up during the lecture saying,’I have some of these symptoms. Is it reversible?’
Yes!
Yes!
Yes!
STOP drinking diet sodas and be alert for Aspartame on food labels! Many products are fortified with it! This is a serious problem. Dr. Espart (one of my speakers) remarked that so many people seem to be symptomatic for MS and during his recent visit to a hospice; a nurse stated that six of her friends, who were heavy Diet Coke addicts, had all been diagnosed with MS. This is beyond coincidence!
Diet soda is NOT a diet product! It is a chemically altered, multiple SODIUM (salt) and ASPARTAME containing product that actually makes you crave carbohydrates.
It is far more likely to make you GAIN weight!
These products also contain formaldehyde, which stores in the fat cells, particularly in the hips and thighs. Formaldehyde is an absolute toxin and is used primarily to preserve ’tissue specimens.’
Many products we use every day contain this chemical but we SHOULD NOT store it IN our body!
Dr. H. J. Roberts stated in his lectures that once free of the ‘diet products’ and with no significant increase in exercise; his patients lost an average of 19 pounds over a trial period.
Aspartame is especially dangerous for diabetics. We found that some physicians, who believed that they had a patient with retinopathy, in fact, had symptoms caused by Aspartame. The Aspartame drives the blood sugar out of control. Thus diabetics may suffer acute memory loss due to the fact that aspartic acid and phenylalanine are NEUROTOXIC when taken without the other amino acids necessary for a good balance.
Treating diabetes is all about BALANCE. Especially with diabetics, the Aspartame passes the blood/brain barrier and it then deteriorates the neurons of the brain; causing various levels of brain damage, Seizures, Depression, Manic depression, Panic attacks, Uncontrollable anger and rage.
Consumption of Aspartame causes these same symptoms in non-diabetics as well. Documentation and observation also reveal that thousands of children diagnosed with ADD and ADHD have had complete turnarounds in their behavior when these chemicals have been removed from their diet.
So called ‘behavior modification prescription drugs’ (Ritalin and others) are no longer needed.Truth be told, they were never NEEDED in the first place!
Most of these children were being ‘poisoned’ on a daily basis with the very foods that were ‘better for them than sugar.’
It is also suspected that the Aspartame in thousands of pallets of diet Coke and diet Pepsi consumed by men and women fighting in the Gulf War, may be partially to blame for the well-known Gulf War Syndrome.
Dr. Roberts warns that it can cause birth defects, i.e. mental retardation, if taken at the time of conception and during early pregnancy. Children are especially at risk for neurological disorders and should NEVER be given artificial sweeteners.
There are many different case histories to relate of children suffering grand mal seizures and other neurological disturbances talking about a plague of neurological diseases directly caused by the use of this deadly poison.’
Herein lies the problem: There were Congressional Hearings when Aspartame was included in 100 different products and strong objection was made concerning its use. Since this initial hearing, there have been two subsequent hearings, and still nothing has been done. The drug and chemical lobbies have very deep pockets.
Sadly, MONSANTO’S patent on Aspartame has EXPIRED! There are now over 5,000 products on the market that contain this deadly chemical and there will be thousands more introduced. Everybody wants a ‘piece of the Aspartame pie.’
I assure you that MONSANTO, the creator of Aspartame, knows how deadly it is.
And isn’t it ironic that MONSANTO funds, among others, the American Diabetes Association, the American Dietetic Association and the Conference of the American College of Physicians?
This has been recently exposed in the New York Times. These [organizations] cannot criticize any additives or convey their link to MONSANTO because they take money from the food industry and are required to endorse their products.
Senator Howard Metzenbaum wrote and presented a bill that would require label warnings on products containing Aspartame, especially regarding pregnant women, children and infants.
The bill would also institute independent studies on the known dangers and the problems existing in the general population regarding seizures, changes in brain chemistry, neurological changes and behavioral symptoms.
The bill was killed.
It is known that the powerful drug and chemical lobbies are responsible for this, letting loose the hounds of disease and death on an unsuspecting and uninformed public. Well, you’re informed now!
