Snippets
| By Melanie Segala - Executive Editor | Friday, September 11th - Issue #194 |
Years ago on SNL, Steve Martin did a bit on a new drug he was taking called Pla-cee-bo. “It’s fantastic!” he said. “Everybody should be taking it!” In 2003, Merck introduced a new drug called MK-869. It was designed to tinker with the nervous system to provide a feel-good effect. In early trials the drug seemed to work great. Company executives and investors were thrilled. Then phase II testing was started. The drug was tested against a control group taking only placebo. And that’s when things fell apart. Again, many test subjects taking MK-869 group reported reductions in anxiety. But nearly the same number of people in the placebo group had the same positive response. Further testing confirmed there was no difference between the experimental drug and a placebo. MK-869 was shelved. The case of MK-869 is far from unique. In recent years, more drugs than ever before are being pulled from clinical trials because they can’t outperform placebos. Even billion-dollar money makers like Prozac are failing the test. Here’s where it gets interesting. Drug developers are now saying that it’s not that the meds are getting weaker, it’s that the placebo effect is getting stronger! Why this is happening, they can’t say. But they are spending millions of dollars to try to prove their ridiculous theory. There are two lessons to be drawn from this:
Doctors and other research scientists have been trained to believe that natural remedies don’t work. But nature tells us over and over again that they do. Trust your body first. The real cause of heart disease, diabetes, and cancer has been kept "hidden" by the mainstream media. But the truth will soon be out. But why wait? Dr. Dwight Lundell, one of the nation’s most respected cardiac surgeons, has just published a book that pulls the covers off this long-standing conspiracy. He has identified the one common cause of all three of these mega-diseases. And he has a program to prevent them – a safe and effective program that he’s used successfully in his practice. In Dr. Lundell's words: "The changes my patients experienced on this program were as dramatic as open heart surgery. Only these changes were forever, as opposed to surgery’s temporary fix. And they were very inexpensive." Get all the details about this life-changing program here. Click here now.
Speaking of how hoodwinked the medical establishment and media are, there is more news about the disease-fighting power of natural supplements. . Researchers have now found that the B vitamin, folic acid, is one of the best things you can take for your heart and arteries. The recently published study showed that folic acid significantly reduced blood pressure and improved blood flow to the legs. Decreased blood flow occurs when the arteries become clogged with fatty deposits. Test subjects were given 400 mcg per day and improvements were seen in only 16 weeks. In previous studies, folic acid has been shown to reduce levels of the amino acid, homocysteine. At elevated levels, homocysteine is a major risk factor for heart attacks and strokes. While there are a few good natural sources of folic acid like cow’s liver, spinach and black-eyed peas, it’s difficult to get the amount you need from food only. S A good quality supplement is your best bet to keep your heart and arteries healthy.
Eating toxic foods every day will sap your energy and eventually kill you. Associating with toxic people will have the same effect on your emotional well being. That’s the thesis of Dr. Tim Reynolds, who has written a thought-provoking article on this subject in this week’s THB. “Having toxic people in your life will deplete you of energy, fill you with doubts and damn you to a life of unfulfilled dreams.” Dr. Reynolds has got a program for identifying the poison people in your life, getting rid of them and replacing them with great people who will help you realize your dreams.

We’ve all seen the skyrocketing rates of childhood obesity in recent years. While there are many theories on the cause, there haven’t been many solutions. The numbers keep going up… and up. But now researchers have stumbled upon what may be simple a simple way to get kids to eat what’s good for them. Researchers from Baylor University studied two groups of obese and overweight Mexican-American children between the ages of 10 and 14. One group was told to read food labels and keep track of all the foods they ate. The control group did not have any nutrition intervention. At the end of the two-year study, the group that read labels and kept track of the foods they ate showed significant weight loss compared to the control group. They also lowered their cholesterol and improved their body mass index. Pretty impressive I think. When I read this story, I was reminded of something the cooking guru, Jacques Pepin said on his show several years ago. When he made broccoli for his young daughter, she wouldn’t eat it. But when he let her make it herself, she would eat it all and enjoy it. Perhaps the solution to the obesity problem is empowering children to be responsible and make healthy food choices for themselves. After all, the best boss is you, even if you’re a kid. Does your boss make you cringe? Do you try and hide when you hear your boss coming? Do you dread your weekly, or daily, meetings? The daily grind is for people who don't know how easy it is to be free. Waking up whenever you want to… working on whatever you want to work on. This is the real dream… the freedom to be and do what you really want. |

We live in a sea of vibrations, everything and everyone is frequency. We are becoming aware of our true power to influence the quantum field with our words, emotions and intentions. This truth is especially powerful when we join together as a conscious collective with one common goal and one focused intention for global change.
Imagine that all currency/money carries a frequency and vibrational contamination of lack, scarcity, fear, and greed that is energetically attached to the money that we receive and use each day. Think of all the places this money has traveled and all the individuals who have touched this currency leaving an energetic trace of their emotional state and beliefs. Be very aware that you bring this contaminated energy into your wallets and your life. You have the opportunity to use your power of intention to energetically clean and clear all the money that comes into your life with every monetary transaction.
Together on 09-09-09 I invite you to go to your bank or financial institution, or in the sacred space of your mind/heart and with earnest intention offer this service to the quantum field. Envision yourself connected to Divine Source, the money matrix and all others doing this sacred service. When at the bank or in your imagination invite Angels, Archangels, Masters and Celestial Beings to assist in this process of clearing the currency/money of all energetic discordance, so that the currency/money now goes out blessing everyone and everything it touches. Imagine the shift in the monetary system when you join with other conscious, enlightened beings offering this transforming service to humanity in a 24-hour period.
This service of cleaning/clearing the currency can be done anytime and any place as often as possible. As you hold money in your hand and envision its connection to the entire matrix, energetically clean it and bless it with gratitude. Do this service each day.

I call upon the beloved I AM, the All That Is the Divine Source, Angels, Archangels and the Celestial Realms of Love and Light to support and assist this process.
I am grateful for the opportunity to serve with others as we unite to transform the matrix of our financial reality as we cleanse and clear all currency of any energetic discordance.With clear intention I envision the currency and money being energetically cleansed. I envision this currency now going out blessing everyone and everything it touches. I envision the power of the Pure White Light and the Violet Flame of Transmutation, moving through all banks and financial institutions uplifting and cleansing the entire monetary reality of the world. With this action of sacred service I join with others to transmute anything unlike the highest and the best financial well-being for all.

All my financial beliefs and transactions are blessed and uplifted. It is with gratitude that I now accept the Divine blessings of abundance of in my life and in the lives of the global family.
