FERNDALE (WWJ) - A Ferndale man claims he’s found a cure for his cancer and it’s now legal in Michigan.
WWJ’s Sandra McNeill spoke with Michael McShane who claims he’s been using a topical oil made from medical marijuana on the skin cancer on his forehead and in just over two months it’s nearly gone.
“I’ve got biopsies, chart notes, photographs … in about three weeks I’m going to go back  and really wrap this part of the case up,” said McShane. “It’s made the same way a lot of the fragrances and perfumes are made, and the oil is applied, in my case, directly to the skin, and within 10 weeks my cancer is gone.”

THC and Crohn's.

“All patients stated that consuming cannabis had a positive effect on their disease activity”

 By Ninja Smoker.

Cannabis use is associated with a reduction in Crohn’s disease (CD) activity and disease-related surgeries, according to the results of a retrospective observational study published in the August issue of the Journal of the Israeli Medical Association.
Investigators at the Meir Medical Center, Institute of Gastroenterology and Hepatology assessed ‘disease activity, use of medication, need for surgery, and hospitalization’ before and after cannabis use in 30 patients with CD.
Authors reported, “All patients stated that consuming cannabis had a positive effect on their disease activity” and documented “significant improvement” in 21 subjects.
Specifically, researchers found that subjects who consumed cannabis “significantly reduced” their need for other medications. Participants in the trial also reported requiring fewer surgeries following their use of cannabis.
“Fifteen of the patients had 19 surgeries during an average period of nine years before cannabis use, but only two required surgery during an average period of three years of cannabis use,” authors reported.
They concluded: “The results indicate that cannabis may have a positive effect on disease activity, as reflected by a reduction in disease activity index and in the need for other drugs and surgery. Prospective placebo-controlled studies are warranted to fully evaluate the efficacy and side effects of cannabis in CD.”

Researchers at the Meir Medical Center are presently evaluating the safety and efficacy of inhaled cannabis for patients with CD and Ulcerative Colitis​ in a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial.
Crohn’s disease and Ulcerative Colitis are inflammatory bowel diseases. According to survey data published earlier this year in the European Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, an estimated one-third of patients with colitis and one-half of subjects with CD acknowledge having used cannabis to mitigate their disease symptoms.

DRINK WATER ON EMPTY STOMACH.

It is popular in Japan today to drink water immediately after waking up every morning.

Furthermore, scientific tests have proven its value. We publish below a description of use of water
for our readers. For old and serious diseases as well as modern illnesses the water treatment had
been found successful by a Japanese medical society as a 100% cure for the following diseases:

Headache, body ache, heart system, arthritis, fast

heart beat, epilepsy, excess fatness, bronchitis

asthma, TB, meningitis, kidney and urine diseases,

vomiting, gastritis, diarrhea, piles, diabetes,

constipation, all eye diseases, womb, cancer and

menstrual disorders, ear nose and throat diseases.

METHOD OF TREATMENT
1. As you wake up in the morning before brushing
teeth, drink 4 x 160ml glasses of water
2. Brush and clean the mouth but do not eat or
drink anything for 45 minute
3.. After 45 minutes you may eat and drink as
normal.
4. After 15 minutes of breakfast, lunch and dinner
do not eat or drink anything for 2 hours
5. Those who are old or sick and are unable to
drink 4 glasses of water at the beginning may
commence by taking little water and gradually
increase it to 4 glasses per day.
6. The above method of treatment will cure
diseases of the sick and others can enjoy a healthy
life.
The following list gives the number of days of
treatment required to cure/control/reduce main
diseases:
1. High Blood Pressure (30 days)
2. Gastric (10 days)
3. Diabetes (30 days)
4. Constipation (10 days)
5. Cancer (180 days)
6. TB (90 days)
7. Arthritis patients should follow the above treatment only for 3 days in the 1st week, and from 2nd week onwards – daily..

This treatment method has no side effects, however at the commencement of treatment you may have to urinate a few times. It is better if we continue this and make this procedure as a routine work in our life. Drink Water and Stay healthy and Active.

This makes sense .. The Chinese and Japanese drink hot tea with their meals ..not cold water.
Maybe it is time we adopt their drinking habit while eating!!! Nothing to lose, everything to gain...
For those who like to drink cold water, this article is applicable to you.
It is nice to have a cup of cold drink after a meal. However, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff
that you have just consumed. It will slow down the digestion.
Once this 'sludge' reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine. Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead to cancer. It is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal.

A serious note about heart attacks:

· Women should know that not every heart attack symptom is going to be the left arm hurting,
· Be aware of intense pain in the jaw line.
· You may never have the first chest pain during the course of a heart attack.
· Nausea and intense sweating are also common symptoms.
· 60% of people who have a heart attack while they are asleep do not wake up.
· Pain in the jaw can wake you from a sound sleep. 

Let's be careful and be aware. The more we know, the better chance we could survive...

The healing power of: Hydrogen peroxide.

For not much more than a dollar a bottle, the 3% hydrogen peroxide you keep around (or will after reading this article) is a true medical home remedy, natural cure, and immunity boosting alternative to seasonal flu vaccination, flu treatment, and prevention. Did you know that throughout the world hydrogen peroxide is used instead of chlorine as a safer and eco-friendly municipal water purifier? Some use H2O2 in pools and spas. The science behind using peroxide is actually pretty cool and experimentally verifiable.

Your body makes hydrogen peroxide to fight infection which must be present for our immune system to function correctly. White blood cells are known as Leukocytes. 

A sub-class of Leukocytes called Neutrophils produce hydrogen peroxide as the first line of defense against toxins, parasites, bacteria, viruses and yeast.

Hydrogen Peroxide is described as an effective anti-viral, antibacterial and anti-fungal, and can be used for anthrax decontamination…which sort of shows how it could probably do some sort of good against a cold and flu virus, don’t you think?

Bacteria, viruses, and fungus (even those linked to tumors and arthritis) have been known to be effectively dealt with by peroxide since the early 1900′s. Europeans still use peroxide in many treatments.  

North America, however, seems to be a bit more controlled by pharmaceutical interests and tend to have more faith in antibiotics than simple cures. Peroxide works because it helps oxygenate  the blood and tissues. Here are a few ideas for you to use your own bottle of peroxide around the house to boost your immunity and that of your family.  

Gargle with hydrogen peroxide, put drops in the ear and nose to end colds, flu, chronic sinusitis (including polyps], and infections.

Tilt your head back and spray into nostrils with a 50/50 mixture whenever you have a cold, plugged sinus. It will bubble and help to kill the bacteria. Hold for a few minutes then blow your nose into a tissue.

Use it instead of mouthwash.
Let your toothbrushes soak in a cup of peroxide to keep them free of germs.

Industrial grade (35%) peroxide can also be purchased. Use it in your bath and experience skin healing and infections subsiding, and even internal inflammation.

Dengue Fever Remedy: Papaya leaves.

 PASS THIS INFORMATION TO AS MANY AS YOU CAN, IT MAY SAVE LIVES !!!

 Dengue Fever Remedy

  

 By:
Jawad Ur Rehman

  I  would like to share this interesting discovery from a classmate's son who has just recovered from dengue fever. Apparently, his son was in the critical stage at the ICU when his blood platelet count drops to 15 after 15 liters of blood transfusion.

His father was so worried that he seeks another friend's recommendation and his son was saved. He confessed to me that he gave his son raw juice of the papaya leaves  From a platelet count of 45 after 20 liters of blood transfusion, and after drinking the raw papaya (in Urdu Papeta) leaf juice, his platelet count jumps instantly to 135. Even the doctors and nurses were surprised. After the second day he was discharged. So he asked me to pass this good news around.
Accordingly it is raw papaya leaves, 2pcs just cleaned and pound and squeeze with filter cloth. You will only get one tablespoon per leaf.. So two tablespoon per serving once a day. Do not boil or cook or rinse with hot water, it will loose its strength. Only the leafy part and no stem or sap. It is very bitter and you have to swallow it like that. But it works.

*Papaya Juice - Cure for Dengue* 

You may have heard this elsewhere, but if not, I am glad to inform you that papaya juice is a natural cure for dengue fever. As dengue fever is rampant now, I think it's good to share this with all.
Please spread the news about this as lately there are many dengue cases. It's great if such natural cure could help to ease the sufferings of dengue patients.
Furthermore it's so easily available.Blend them and squeeze the juice! It's simple and miraculously effective!!

Hypertension. High blood pressure.

 To lower blood pressure.
(very often the cause of headache)

Press the centerpoint at the edge of the skull (Atlas) for about 10 sec. while you inhale and exhale..!!! And BEFORE you inhale again:

carotid artery

Use your thumb or 3 fingers to press on the artery, start on the left...

..press the blood artery in the neck very deep so it blocks the blood stream..! At this moment you have to take a deep breath, release the pressure point at exhaling...!!!! repeat on the other side (you are allowed to take a few 'normal' breaths in between the left and right pressure pointing). Do this again..  (No more than twice each side w/o a bp meter)...! Blood pressure will drop by 20 to 40 points... !! Repeat when BP rises or headache occurs. 

Be alert for interaction with other medication/treatment.

 The left hand side will mostly lower on the 'upper' pressure (sys.), while the right hand side artery more regulates on the 'under' pressure (dia.)..

The winning numbers 120 - 80.

The carotid arteries are two large blood vessels on either side of your neck that supply blood to the head and brain. Each artery contains a slightly dilated area called the carotid sinus. Within each carotid sinus are specialized areas of tissue called baroreceptors that are sensitive to pressure. When your baroreceptors are stimulated by the application of pressure, such as massage or one of the choke holds used in wrestling bp will drop., If you have carotid sinus syndrome you may faint or develop abnormally slow heartbeats.

Equalizer 2000 and Silk.

I returned to the action, I needed a few days to recover from the jet-lag, but then I headed for Manila, curious to see the changes that came with the Aquino office. Nothing much seemed to have changed. OK, I had to get used to the names in the new government heading the newspapers.

The Metcalfs were happy to see me but couldn't offer me a job for the moment, but Cirio had something going on and Henry was his AD again. They had me going in Equalizer 2000, I needed to play a crooks type, hé easy what ?

It was another movie with a lot of unexplained action and special fxs. There was one little scene however I won't forget. There's a small tree blocked in the frame and it's suppose to be blasted to parts right on action. Cameras are rolling and Cirio shouts 'Action', We do our thing but the tree still stands. It was prepared and fixed with a small piece of wood. The firecracker they used to have the job done wasn't strong enough. A smaller shelf was prepared and everybody went back to nr. one. But this tree had a sense of humor. ...There was the routine: cameras rolling, sound...and before the word action was there, the little tree surrendered and fell down without any help from the outside. I wasn't the only one pissing my pants, even Cirio who just revealed a beautiful 'Putanginamo', couldn't cover a grin. I think the third take made it a 'copy'. I had a lot of background action, got shot and blown away numerous times. It's not my kinda movie but I know there are a lot of lovers.

Another Cirio-film and Premier production had it's cameras rolling. I invited Ellen ( who just flew in from Holland) to the set and introduced her to Cirio. I knew he loved a western cast in his films and I was right. He had a deployment for her. It were the same ol' guys again. Nick Nicholson, Joonee Gamboa, Don Gordon Bell, David Light and Henry of course

We were about to shoot: "Silk”.

I am the driver in the blue stuntcar. A camera is mounted on the bonnet.

 .

I'm following someone, there's a sandy path, they shoot at me and a window is shot to pieces, finally I 'park' my car against a huge object and it explodes...

To have the window shattered a catapult was used to break the glass. It sounded a real bullet when it hit the glass, it all had to be done in one take, otherwise they needed another car.

Ellen was an extra, running in a crowd and they were shot at. Nervous to her first time, she managed to stumble within ten yards or so and went down, face first. She lost her glasses, couldn't find it ( minus 10 !!) and finally stepped on it breaking the frame in two. Almost blind she finds a way out, holding her broken glasses in one hand and wiping the sweat from her face with the other, showing a disappearing glance . Exactly what the cameras wanted to see. She never ever showed up on any movie set again.
This action film from prolific Filipino director Cirio Santiago stars Cec Verrell as tough cop Jennie ("Silk"), who works for the Honolulu police. A series of murders has the police baffled, so Silk is called in to help uncover the culprits. Her sleuthing leads to several shoot-outs and evidence that incriminates one of the cops. Connected to the deaths are gangland figures and the ugly business of selling fake identities.

Alle 13 vitaminen van A t/m K.

Wat doen de verschillende vitamines en waar zitten ze in?

Vitamine A speelt een grote rol bij de weerstand tegen infecties. Vitamine A zorgt ervoor dat de huid gezond is en dat de groei en vernieuwing van de cellen goed verloopt. In Nederland krijgen we een derde van vitamine A binnen via vlees (lever) en vleeswaren, melk en melkproducten. Hoe vetter de melk, des te meer vitamine A erin zit. In volle melk zit dus meer vitamine A dan in halfvolle melk. Aan margarine en halvarine wordt deze vitamine standaard toegevoegd. In groenten en fruit (zoals kool, wortels en broccoli) zit vooral provitamine A (bètacaroteen). Deze stof kan in het lichaam in vitamine A worden omgezet. Een tekort aan vitamine A kan leiden tot nachtblindheid (of zelfs totale blindheid) en een droge huid. Te veel nemen van vitamine A kan leiden tot hoofdpijn, misselijkheid en duizeligheid.

Vitamine B Het vitamine B-complex is een buitenbeentje onder de vitamines. Het bestaat uit een groep van acht verschillende vitamines die samen zorgen voor de stofwisseling in ons lichaam. We hebben ze nodig om eiwitten, vetten en koolhydraten uit ons voedsel om te zetten in energie en bouwstoffen. Hieronder staan de acht vitamines B kort beschreven.

• Vitamine B1 zorgt ervoor dat koolhydraten uit ons voedsel worden verbrand. Hierdoor krijg je meer energie. Mensen die heel actief zijn (en dus veel energie verbruiken), hebben een grotere behoefte aan vitamine B1. Vitamine B1 zit vooral in aardappelen, graanproducten, brood, vlees en melkproducten. Een tekort aan vitamine B1 kan leiden tot afwijkingen aan hart en zenuwstelsel
• Vitamine B2 zorgt voor het gezond houden van huid en haar. Tevens heeft het een positief effect op de spijsvertering en het zenuwstelsel. De natuurlijke bronnen van vitamine B2 zijn eieren, noten, melk(producten), groente, fruit en vlees. Van een tekort aan vitamine B2 kan je een schilferige huid en kloofjes in de lippen krijgen.
• Vitamine B3 is goed voor de werking van het zenuwstelsel en het bevordert de energieproductie in het lichaam. We krijgen het binnen via bruin (volkoren) brood, noten, vis en vlees en groenten en aardappelen. Als je te veel neemt van deze vitamine kunnen je bloedvaten verwijden.
• Vitamine B5 is nodig voor het herstel van weefsels. Verder helpt ze bij de opbouw en afbraak van eiwitten, vetten en koolhydraten. Het wordt ook gebruikt bij de aanmaak van bepaalde hormonen. Goede voedingsbronnen zijn: aardappelen, eieren, melk, vlees en volkorenproducten. Een overdosis vitamine B5 kan leiden tot diarree.
• Vitamine B6 staat de laatste jaren sterk in de belangstelling omdat het, samen met de vitamines foliumzuur en B12 - een belangrijke rol zou spelen bij de bescherming tegen hart en vaatziekten. Verder is B6 belangrijk voor de vorming van rode bloedcellen, de opbouw van DNA (erfelijke materiaal), de opbouw en afbraak van eiwitten en de goede werking van het zenuwstelsel.
  Vitamine B6 zit onder meer in aardappelen, bruin brood, banaan, vis, vlees en melk(producten).
• Vitamine B8 (biotine) is net als vitamine B2 belangrijk voor de goede ontwikkeling van huid en haar, de vorming van vetzuren en de energieproductie in ons lichaam. Sojabonen zijn een zeer goede bron voor biotine. Daarnaast zit deze vitamine ook in noten, eieren, lever en melk.
• Vitamine B11 (foliumzuur) wordt gezien als een belangrijke vitamine voor het verkleinen van de kans op hart- en vaatziekten. Ook kan foliumzuur de kans op een miskraam of een aangeboren afwijking als een open ruggetje verkleinen. Vandaar dat vrouwen die zwanger zijn, aangeraden wordt extra foliumzuur te slikken. Deze vitamine is belangrijk voor de opbouw van het DNA (ons erfelijke materiaal) en voor de opbouw en afbraak van eiwitten. Samen met de vitamines B6 en B12 kan foliumzuur de schadelijke stof homocysteïne omzetten in onschadelijke stoffen. Homocysteïne is een schadelijk tussenproduct dat ontstaat tijdens de eiwitstofwisseling in ons lichaam. Een verhoogd homocysteïnegehalte zou een risicofactor kunnen zijn voor het ontstaan van hart- en vaatziekten. Vitamine B11 zit onder meer in groenten (broccoli, spruitjes), bruin brood, vlees en eieren. Een tekort aan vitamine B11 veroorzaakt bloedarmoede, vermoeidheid, afwijkingen bij geboortes (open ruggetje of miskraam).
• Vitamine B12 helpt ook bij een gezonde bouw van ons erfelijke materiaal en bij de opbouw en afbraak van eiwitten. Verder is deze vitamine nodig voor de aanmaak van rode bloedcellen en een goede werking van het zenuwstelsel. Vitamine B12 zit alleen in dierlijke producten als eieren, melk(producten), vlees en vis. Een tekort aan vitamine B12 kan schade aan de zenuwen brengen.

Vitamine C is de meest bekende vitamine. Deze vitamine is belangrijk voor weerstand, steunweefsel, bloedvaten, botten en tanden. Verder bevordert vitamine C de opname van het mineraal ijzer. Dit is belangrijk voor vrouwen die meer ijzer nodig hebben tijdens de menstruatie. Bijna iedereen weet dat vitamine C vooral in groenten en fruit zit. Samen leveren deze ongeveer de helft van de vitamine C die we in Nederland gemiddeld via onze voeding binnenkrijgen. Ook vruchtensap en nieuwe aardappelen leveren een bijdrage aan onze vitamine C voorziening. Een tekort aan vitamine C kan leiden tot een verminderde weerstand, slapeloosheid, vermoeidheid, bloedend tandvlees en reumatische klachten. Je kan nierstenen overhouden als je te veel vitamine C binnenkrijgt.

Vitamine D wordt ook wel de 'zonne-vitamine' genoemd. Vitamine D is één van de vitamines die ons lichaam voor een deel kan aanmaken. Dit gebeurt in de huid onder invloed van zonlicht. Sterke tanden en botten danken we voor een belangrijk deel aan vitamine D. Ze bevordert namelijk de opname van calcium en fosfor uit onze voeding. Vitamine D is belangrijk om botontkalking te voorkomen. Het zorgt voor opname van calcium in het lichaam en de inbouw ervan in de botten. Hoewel vitamine D belangrijk is voor onze gezondheid, een teveel ervan is schadelijk. Het veroorzaakt misselijkheid, nierproblemen en pijn in de botten. Vitamine D zit vooral in margarine, halvarine en bak- en braadproducten. Hieraan is de vitamine toegevoegd. Natuurlijke producten met vitamine D zijn vette vis (haring, makreel, zalm), zuivelproducten, eieren en vlees. Een tekort aan vitamine D kan bij kinderen leiden tot het ontstaan van de Engelse ziekte en bij ouderen kans op botontkalking. Als je te veel vitamine D binnen krijgt kan dat leiden tot kalkafzettingen in het lichaam.

Vitamine E versterkt het afweersysteem en verkleint de kans op hart- en vaatziekten. Het is een zogenaamd antioxidant-vitamine. Deze stoffen kunnen het lichaam beschermen tegen oxidatie, de inwerking van zuurstof. Er zijn steeds meer aanwijzingen dat oxidatie een rol speelt bij het ontstaan van ouderdomsziekten als kanker, hart- en vaatziekten, Parkinson en de ziekte van Alzheimer. Voedingsmiddelen waar vitamine E in zit zijn margarine, zonnebloemolie, pindakaas, noten, bladgroenten als spinazie, andijvie en boerenkool. In snacks, gebak en koek zit ook vitamine E. Dit komt doordat ze gebakken zijn in margarine of olie. Een tekort aan vitamine E geeft een grotere kans op hart- en vaatziekten en vroegtijdige veroudering van de huid.

Vitamine K is de meest onbekende vitamine. Een belangrijke functie van vitamine K is de bloedstolling. Vitamine K worden voor een belangrijk deel in ons lichaam aangemaakt door bacteriën in de dikke darm. Omdat pasgeboren baby's nog onvoldoende darmbacteriën hebben, hebben zij een grote kans op een vitamine K tekort. Dit kan leiden tot bloedingen. Tot drie maanden na de geboorte moet het worden aangevuld. Behalve voor bloedstolling is K ook belangrijk voor de aanmaak van botten. Zoals gezegd: voor een groot deel maken we deze vitamine zelf aan. Verder zijn eieren, melk(producten), granen, vlees, groenten (spinazie, broccoli en boerenkool) en fruit goede leveranciers. Een tekort aan vitamine K kan leiden tot bloedingen bij baby's of vertraagde bloedstolling bij volwassenen.

Hoeveel vitamines moet je innemen?
De Gezondheidsraad heeft voor elke vitamine een 'Aanbevolen Dagelijkse Hoeveelheid' vastgesteld (ADH). Als je iedere dag die ADH binnenkrijgt, weet je zeker dat er geen tekorten optreden. Mannen hebben een andere behoefte aan vitamines dan vrouwen en baby's kunnen met minder doen dan volwassenen. De ADH's zijn zo vastgesteld dat vitaminegebrek wordt voorkomen.

De Warenwet hanteert de volgende ADH's (mcg staat hierbij voor microgram, mg voor milligram):

Vitamine A: 800 mcg

Vitamine B1: 1,4 mg

Vitamine B2: 1,6 mg

Vitamine B3: 18 mg

Vitamine B5: 6 mg

Vitamine B6: 2 mg

Vitamine B11: 0,2 mg

Vitamine B12: 1 mcg

Biotine: 0,15 mg

Vitamine D: 5 mcg

Vitamine E: 10 mg

Vitamine K: 80 mcg
Wanneer kun je vitamines het beste innemen?
De in vet oplosbare vitamines kun je het best tijdens een warme maaltijd innemen, dan worden ze beter opgenomen. Dat geldt ook voor vitamine C omdat deze vitamine de ijzeropname uit de maaltijd bevordert. De B vitamines kun je op elk gewenst moment innemen.
Extra vitamines: nuttig of onnodig?
vitaminesupplementen of met vitamines verrijkte voedingsmiddelen kunnen een nuttige aanvulling zijn voor groepen met een verhoogde kans op lichte vitaminetekorten. Ernstige vitaminetekorten(zoals scheurbuik) komen normaal gesproken in Nederland niet meer voor. Maar lichte vormen van vitamines tekorten kunnen wel voorkomen. De groepen die meer risico lopen zijn:

• Vrouwen die zwanger zijn of borstvoeding geven hebben over het algemeen meer vitamines nodig, vooral foliumzuur en vitamine A en D. Te veel vitamine A is schadelijk.
• Pasgeboren baby's kunnen nog geen vitamine K aanmaken. Daarom moet het tot drie maanden na de geboorte worden aangevuld.
• Kinderen tot vier jaar hebben voor hun botopbouw het hele jaar extra vitamine D nodig, daarna tot hun zevende jaar wanneer de 'R' in de maand is.
• Tieners hebben extra vitamine nodig, omdat ze onregelmatig eten (fastfood, snoepen, lijnen).
• Ouderen eten vaak minder en hebben daarom doorgaans meer vitamines nodig. Voor 75-plussers is extra vitamine D tegen botontkalking aan te raden.
• Topsporters hebben meer energie en dus meer vitamine nodig. Het hogere zuurstofgebruik zou kunnen leiden tot een behoefte aan vitamine C, E en bètacaroteen.
• Rokers hebben meer vitamine C nodig, omdat door roken meer vrije radicalen het lichaam binnen komen.
• Vegetariërs eten geen vlees en vis en veganisten zelfs helemaal geen dierlijke producten. Vitamine B12 komt alleen daarin voor. Strenge vegetariërs en veganisten moeten daarom oppassen dat ze geen tekort krijgen van dit vitamine.

Ook dieetvolgers, medicijngebruikers, chronisch zieken en mensen die eenzijdig eten kunnen extra vitamine wel gebruiken.

Many of my friends experienced the touch of my healing hands when they were in pain. It's not just that I have the gift to cure, I also feel and experience what's going on inside the body of my patients. When I was younger I needed to concentrate to get  'access' to the info everybody is radiating, nowadays in my older years after more than 30 years of practicing, a look is enough to 'feel' what's going on. Sometimes it scares me what I feel just by watching others..and there hasn't been said a word yet...

Most of us have  noticed, in our youth already, that words can hurt, even more than a fist. How often do kids come home crying, 'cos one of their friends did say something nasty...???? You remember that from your childhood..? Yes, words can hurt like a cutting knife, maybe even MORE than this cutting knife.... Words have a load, a meaning, and as soon as you are able to understand a word, you will be able to feel its influence, its power. Words create emotions.... I'm  going to give you some examples of words that create feelings.

Just imagine someone's telling you:  "Y're mother is a....."
You know what I mean..?  ...depends on the word  that follows.

When it says: 'whore', your adrenaline will explode and y'll go after that person ( my guess..), your  heartbeat and blood pressure are UP....!!!!

Now what when it reads: "Your mother is an  'angel'..?   This triggers a smile on your face and creates  'happy hormons' all over the body.....

  Bad news will make you feel sad while good news will make you feel better. This can very well be manipulated by the media as well...!!!!

.A curse or a prayer have influence,...whether you believe in it or not. As a healer I'm more interested in the healing capacity of words, different as in a prayer though.

 Let's see what happened when a patient was given the wrong diagnoses.  The medical records of 2 patients were accidentally switched, One of them got the message he had an ulcer and was advised to follow a special diet ( with some other health tips), the other person got the bad news and heard he had cancer....and was sceduled to be radiated.

The 1st person felt relieved after this good news 'cos he'd expected worse.....!!!! He followed the diet, returned to his sportclub (veterans) and felt much healthier within a month. 

The other person lost the battle at the moment he heard 'cancer', 'cos he'd expected something else.... within a month he had lost half of his weight and felt very ill....I don't know what kind of medication he used, but not the ones to 'fight' his 'cancer' for sure. By the time the man  returned to get his first radiations he hardly could walk anymore and was 'wheel chaired'.  The new x-ray showed the mistake, but it was too late, the patient died not much later.....

The 'ulcer' man was notified to come and get new x-rays....The tumor that showed  had shrank to half the size it had a month earlier....!!

 We know Placebo's (harmless pill without medicine) are very able to fool people. Some people even create 'side effect feelings' after eating these fake medication.  It's called the 'Nocebo effect', that's when a person creates  harmful and unpleasant side effects after a placebo treatment. These effects are only due to a person’s negative belief or expectation that the treatment can produce these side effects...

 Another case occurred in the late 1970's when doctors incorrectly diagnosed a man with liver cancer and told him he had just a few months to live. The man died within a few months as the doctors said he would. Upon doing his autopsy though, they found the doctors had been wrong and he did not have liver cancer.

Other than being dead, the man was in perfect health.  

 ..Yeah words can KILL..!!

You better watch what y're saying..

Most of my friends, by now, know I'm a martial artist for 50 years already, I learned how to concentrate my powers to one point to give it all the energy it needed. That's the way to make an Ippon or to break a leg...A well trained  martial artist is able to put his 'Chi' ( his mental energy) to the place where he wants it. The impact of such an energy can be beyond imagination.  Break tests are a nice example of what can be done....but that's just one side. The power of your own mind/spirit is stronger than you might think ( besides religion), I learned to focus my energy and to send it any direction I wanted, it started with Mesmerism/magnetism that came from my hands. Imagine, I didn't need to massage, not even touch... (You can read more about that on my blog: Healing Hands, see link.)  I learned more about my hands' energy when I noticed other people, in the neighborhood of the patient I treated, could feel it as well..!  Then I found out I could do the same through the phone...freaking feeling tell you, talked to the people and sent them my energy, even wireless. Na...

Sometimes during my film career I had the feeling my work as a healer was more appreciated than my acting capacities, hehehehe. I was very lucky Ken and Maria Metcalfe (movie casting office) were a fan of my healing hands and always got me a part of the scene...

Now I tell you, it takes a lot of energy to achieve these healing capacities, sometimes it emptied my battery to the limit and blacked me out, fainted me completely. That's no problem when y're in a good shape and healthy (and young). Through the years I learned more about acupuncture and food....

 I respect everybody who believes in a religion and do prayers, especially when it's meant to help others. But you're asking someone else to do the job for you. A prayer isn't enough...it's a start, but there should be more from yourself in it. Don't leave the job to God , Jesus, Allah, Mohammed, Jaweh or others. Do something yourself, use your OWN energy to help others, use your 'Chi/Ki' to send power, Your power. If we all do, it makes a difference...! Please use your 'battery' to send positive energy to where you want it to go. It's not going by itself, you need to work on it, concentrate your thoughts, visualize a situation and send your personal mental powers...
