From the page: "The first part of our lives, we come to learn the ways of the world.

The second part is spent unlearning.

Some of us are faster learners than others, and unlearners. The trick is to remember the unlearning because if you don't, you get stuck in delusion.

For instance, I'll use the example of illness, one of the Big Ones.

We learn early on to have an aversion to getting sick.

Yet we may get more attention, people take care of us, we may get to stay by ourselves to contemplate the delirious thoughts rumbling round and round in our heads.

Most recently, I was in bed with a fever of 103 degrees. I used "The Work" of Byron Katie and Ho'oponopono to heal my thoughts about the illness."

Thirty-eight scientists have signed a consensus statement on the dangers of BPA. Another scientist has linked BPA to genetic changes, cancer, and obesity.

Another group of famous scientists affiliated with corporations then came out attempting to refute the findings of the first group. This makes it clear that we cannot rely on someone being a scientist or their level of fame; we must learn to identify who has the strongest logic and cognitive skills.

To err on the side of caution, parents would be well-advised to avoid plastic in items used for babies. I switched to Corningware and glass for cooking, drinking, and storing food and real silver implements for eating and serving long ago.

If you know someone with a new baby or expecting one, consider giving them non-plastic gifts such as silver-plated implements and children's items.

From the page: "in a consensus statement also to appear in Reproductive Toxicology, 38 leading BPA research scientists from around the world agree that the range of exposures that most Americans experience are higher than those that cause a wide range of adverse health effects in animals.

The journal will publish simultaneously a new study which reveals that BPA is functionally similar to diethylstilbestrol (DES), a synthetic estrogen banned long ago for use by pregnant women for causing reproductive tract problems. This experimental animal study, led by Retha Newbold, is the first to link developmental exposure to bisphenol A to diseases such as uterine fibroids and precancerous changes in the reproductive tract as well as cystic ovaries, problems commonly diagnosed in middle-aged women. Some of these changes in experimental animals have been previously found in the daughters of mothers who took DES during their pregnancies."

Trying to blame genetics and our DNA is also going "down the garden path". Nutrition affects the strength of our immune systems and our thoughts create what we believe.

It is NOT genetics, it is NOT germs, it is NOT bacteria, it is NOT viruses - and what I type here has been known for eons. (I don't make this stuff up - I just recognize wisdom when I come across it.)

From the page: "Following the sequencing of the human genome, scientists quickly saw that the next step would be to show how human genes interact with environmental factors to influence the risk of developing disease, the aging process and drug action. But because environmental factors include the gene products of trillions of bacteria in the gut, they get very complex indeed. The information in the human genome itself, 3 billion base pairs long, does not help reduce the complexity."

Before you immediately dismiss what I post here (and all the documented evidence to support it) and believe the propaganda we've all been sold I ask you to keep an open mind.

In other countries many refer to AIDS as the "American Idea to Discourage Sex". Be honest. If it were really sexually transmitted it would be rampant in the U.S. heterosexual community and you would know enormous numbers of people who had already died. {Unless you live in a religious community you MUST know people who have had dozens if not HUNDREDS of sexual partners in their lifetimes. How is THEIR health today?}

AIDS is not even ONE disease - it is a collection of different symptoms that may cause death that are being used to manipulate the statistics. Anyone who is HIV positive (which IS a real virus) that dies is said to have died of AIDS. In generations past they would have died of pneumonia, or Karposi's Sarcoma, or any of a large number of other diseases.

Many believers in AIDS who have reported on it have realized it simply doesn't exist. A reporter for Rolling Stone magazine who totally believed that there was an epidemic in Africa of people dying of AIDS did a thorough study of deaths in Africa which included government statistics and even demand for coffins before concluding that there was no epidemic and Africans were dying from the same things they always had - primarily malnutrition.

More and more scientists are trying to expose the truth. Now there are THOUSANDS of them. You can read their comments on this site. If that is not enough proof to change your mind do a search for "AIDS hoax" and keep reading until the truth becomes clear.

Then remember that the same people selling us this fairy tale want to force mandatory vaccinations on unwilling individuals.

From the page: "IS HIV� REALLY THE CAUSE OF AIDS? ARE THERE REALLY ONLY "A FEW" SCIENTISTS WHO DOUBT THIS?

Over 2,000 scientists, medical professionals, authors and academics are on record that the "Hiv-Aids" theories, routinely reported to the public as if they were facts, are dubious to say the least...

...It's not even probable, let alone scientifically proven, that HIV causes AIDS. If there is evidence that HIV causes AIDS, there should be scientific documents which either singly or collectively demonstrate that fact, at least with a high probability. There are no such documents." ~ Spin Magazine, Vol. 10 No.4, 1994

"The HIV-causes-AIDS theory is one hell of a mistake." ~ Foreword, "Inventing the AIDS Virus"

"Years from now, people will find our acceptance of the HIV theory of AIDS as silly as we find those who excommunicated Galileo." ~ "Dancing Naked in the Mind Field", 1998

"Where is the research that says HIV is the cause of AIDS? There are 10,000 people in the world now who specialize in HIV. None has any interest in the possibility HIV doesn't cause AIDS because if it doesn't, their expertise is useless.�"

Oh - and one other VERY important point. Way back when everyone who was HIV positive was expected to die within 10 years of exposure. Those who took the anti-AIDS drugs died. Some refused treatment to live out whatever life they had left doing what they most wanted to do and WERE STILL ALIVE MORE THAN 10 YEARS LATER! The DRUGS to treat AIDS kill people! Here are some excerpts on that:

"The HIV hypothesis of AIDS is the biggest scientific, medical blunder of the 20th Century. The evidence is overwhelming that AIDS is not contagious, sexually transmitted, or caused by HIV. The physicians who know or suspect the truth are embarrassed or afraid to admit that the HIV tests are absurd and should be outlawed, and that the anti-HIV drugs are injuring and killing people." ~ Mail & Guardian, Johannesburg, SA, Jan 24, 2001"

"We've put 20 years and $118 billion into HIV. We've got no cure, no vaccine and no progress. Instead we have thousands of people made sick and even killed by toxic AIDS drugs."

Think about whether you want to help send these drugs to anyon

They're going "down the garden path" again - partly due to lack of knowledge/wisdom and partly to make big bucks at the expense of the poor. The reason the poor have multiple parasites, bacteria, and "diseases" is first nutritional and I challenge you to prove it to yourself.

Puppies and kittens can have serious tapeworm and flea issues. They will have pot bellies, rough dull coats, dull eyes, poor appetite or eat everything in sight. Instead of treating them give them a very high quality supplement such as PetCentRX Vim & Vigor available at pettogethers.com/PetCentrxTestimonials.aspx [pettogethers.com/PetCentrxTestimonials.aspx] .

I had a stray puppy show up. Really rough coat, dull eyes, pot-bellied, obviously wormy and flea-ridden. Put her on these vitamins and DID NOT treat her for the fleas or worms. Almost immediately she passed more tape-worms than I have ever seen from treating with Droncit. The fleas left. Her coat is silky and shiny and her eyes are shiny and clear.

Since I was giving her my other puppy's vitamins I ran low. As soon as I didn't give them the vitamins daily there was a visible change in their coat qualities and the fleas came back - and usually fleas here are horrible in the summer. All summer almost no fleas on any dog receiving these vitamins! This tells me that when nutrition is high enough in quality that immune function increases to the point that the effect of parasites and diseases is reduced and even eliminated.

I've observed the same thing in horses. Whatever horse is the least healthy is covered in flies while the horse standing next to them is not. Particularly weak horses sometimes even get plagued by fireants - but not the other horses in the same pasture.

We've got to quit thinking more poisons are the solution to poor health. They are NOT and they only make it worse. I highly recommend the books written by Dr. Tanton for further information on being healthy. See drtanton.com [drtanton.com] .

From the page: "NEW YORK, N.Y. - Sept. 27, 2007 - President Bill Clinton announced today at the Clinton Global Initiative the launch of the Sabin Vaccine Institute's campaign to eliminate thirteen diseases of poverty, known as Neglected Tropical Diseases� (NTDs). The "STOP NTDs" campaign seeks to raise $25 million for neglected tropical disease control and prevention. Neglected tropical diseases are the most common affliction of "the poorest of the poor" one billion people living on less than U.S.$2.00 per day more than HIV/AIDS and malaria combined. They blind, disfigure, disable, kill and contribute to an ongoing cycle of poverty and stigmatization that leaves millions unable to work or participate in family and community life. Joining President Clinton in inaugurating the campaign were: Peter Hotez, M.D., Ph.D., F.A.A.P., President of Sabin; and Dikembe Mutombo, STOP NTDs Campaign endorser, NBA star (Houston Rockets center) and Chairman and President of the Dikembe Mutombo Foundation."

It is so easy to judge - to believe that what WE would have decided is RIGHT and what someone else did was WRONG. It is rarely that simple as in this poignant story featured on the StumbleUpon Buzz page right now.

How easily and often we accept forcing our belief systems on others' lives. Try putting yourself in any scenario and picture someone's belief system that is totally different than your own being imposed on you. You would not like it - and neither do they.

We do not KNOW for an absolute FACT so many things we THINK we know, so forcing our "truths" on others is a highly questionable action. A growing number of Americans no longer believe what the majority instantly accept regarding medicine - and in particular cancer treatments.

From the page: "Questions of withholding bad news, wiping out bad memories -- plastering over wayward cracks in our minds with chemicals -- are answered thousands of times everyday, without ever being asked. Ethics committees and experts exist in our hospitals, but what they have to say counts precious little down in the trenches, where intercoms fail and human minds treat human minds, in real time. You would think, by now, that the distinction between treatments using words (or ideas) and chemicals (or electric currents) is starting to blur. (If an hour of psychotherapy accomplishes the same thing as 20 mg of Prozac -- that is, a boost in mood and serotonin levels -- is there a difference?) But it is not. Everyone I know who deals with medicines that affect minds seems to operate with a very clear functional distinction between personhood -- the realm of virtue, vice, responsibility and creativity -- and brain chemistry. That distinction was clear in the eyes of my nurses that day. Something more important than a chemical balance in Ellen's brain had been violated -- only a little and, obviously, with benevolent intent. But it hadn't been as simple as pushing a rewind button. Something there had borne the unmistakable quality of wrong.

As mundane, as miserably human as a soccer mom "dying young" of cancer might be, I found such value and such meaning in the way Ellen clung to her consciousness, the personhood she needed to care for her family. Much of what we read about brain science in the media today would have us believe that we're nothing more, really, than very fancy machines. And surely what we're learning about the physical brain is exciting and powerful -- but thinking honestly, it remains so limited."

As many would suspect, my beliefs are not exactly mainstream. I question everything that most others would automatically accept. Many things we think of as "facts" are clearly not - they are socially-accepted beliefs and nothing more.

It is necessary to at least know WHY and if you think about it I bet you'll find that the more invested someone is in any particular belief, the less likely they know why they believe it.

There is always a reason WHY we do something a certain way and SOMEONE knows what it is. I have always insisted on finding that someone. The story about three generations of women cutting the end off of roasts is one example.

Here is another: in elite barns such as multiple Breeders' Cup winner Dick Mandella's barn in southern California, grooms are trained to tear the hay into little pieces. You would be amazed how many people I had to ask before I found out WHY a trainer would want their employees to take the time to do that.

I kept asking until I found someone who had the best answer. One answer was so the horse didn't spread it all over the stall and waste so much trampling and soiling it; however, the very BEST answer was to ensure that there was no glass, wire, or something else dangerous in the hay that could injure or kill a horse. (Some of these horses are worth millions but quality trainers like Dick honor each horse in their care equally irrespective of their monetary value.)

Do you encourage the people in your life - whether they be employees, family, friends, or children - to ask WHY? Do you take the time to help them understand? Do YOU insist on knowing why in your own life?

I highly recommend it - and your health is the number one place to start. This site provides simple information on the difference between alternative, complementary, and integrative medicine.

From the page: "Complementary and alternative medicine is a group of diverse medical and health care systems, practices, and products that are not presently considered to be part of conventional medicine. Conventional medicine is medicine as practiced by holders of M.D. (medical doctor) or D.O. (doctor of osteopathy) degrees and by their allied health professionals, such as physical therapists, psychologists, and registered nurses. Some health care providers practice both CAM and conventional medicine.

* Complementary medicine is used together with conventional medicine.
* Alternative medicine is used in place of conventional medicine.

Integrative medicine combines treatments from conventional medicine and CAM for which there is some high-quality evidence of safety and effectiveness. It is also called integrated medicine. An approach to medicine that combines treatments from conventional medicine and CAM for which there is some high-quality scientific evidence of safety and effectiveness..
