			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>At its most basic level, <a title="meditation" href="http://life-enthusiast.com/index/Company/Spirituality" target="_blank">meditation</a> is the clearing of the mind of all thoughts entirely. It can be difficult at first to sustain a quiet mind. A good way to do this is to sit in a comfortable position on a couch or sofa and pick an object to focus your attention on. Many recommend an apple as a good starting point. The idea is to clear the mind of any awareness of anything other than the apple. This sounds very simple but it takes some practice. As soon as your mind wanders to other thoughts (which will happen quick at first), you immediately pull your mind back to the thought of the apple. Your ability to focus so single-mindedly will improve with time.  It requires the same type of commitment to developing a muscle through exercise. In fact, your brain is just another organ, like a muscle. It needs exercise like everything else. See how long you can sustain this single-minded state. Five minutes is a reasonable goal for early on, but the real benefits of meditation come with at least half an hour every day.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Many people come to me and interested in knowing whether I am interested in the consciousness movement that seems to be a growing, popular trend right now thanks to some movies that are out there.</p>
<p>The truth is I have always been interested in how we can change our consciousness and make our lives better through nutrition. Proper can hold the same place in people’s lives as meditation, religion and spirituality.</p>
<p>One of the best products in this area we have found is called <a href="http://life-enthusiast.com/usa/the-gift-1-oz-p-698.html">the Gift</a>. <a href="http://life-enthusiast.com/usa/the-gift-1-oz-p-698.html">The Gift</a> is a product formulated with special trace minerals that carry consciousness. It carries consciousness and good vibrations. The product is mostly concerned with two basic questions that it will ask you. First, am I safe? Secondly, do I have enough?</p>
<p>The first questions basically comes from fear, fear of “have I performed well enough?” or “do I deserve this?” The second greatly affects how you will see the world around you and different people deal with this question in different ways, though I imagine Bill Gates and Tony Robbins have big problems with it because they must never feel like they have enough no matter what they have achieved.</p>
<p>At its core, the Gift is a very great innovation because it can allow you to instantly raise your self-esteem and consciousness levels. It is structured in nano-particulate minerals which unlock your heart’s true potential, allowing you to access a higher state of consciousness and superior performance. These effects are very similar to hormones which occur naturally in the body. The Gift is a great example of how biologically-known information can be successfully transferred into a homeopathic preparation.</p>
<p>The information <a href="http://life-enthusiast.com/usa/the-gift-1-oz-p-698.html">the Gift</a> gives you is not transient and many people have reported its effects remaining with them for years. For the best results, it is recommended that you store it in a cool dark place (though not the refrigerator) that is free of radiation, meaning cell phones, TV, microwaves and magnets. Try it out for yourself and see if you experience a heightened level of consciousness and joy about yourself the world around you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sometimes I worry that the focus of this blog veers too often into increasingly complicated, specialized health tips. More and more I am finding that it is really the fundamentals of good health that will allow us to live the lifestyle we want.</p>
<p>A while back I listened to Tony Robbins interview John Wooden, one of the most successful basketball coaches known for his work with the LA Lakers. He spent ten years coaching the club and during these ten years the club won the championship nine times.</p>
<p>As I was listening to this interview, I was struck by the emphasis Wooden put on the fundamentals of the game. Tom Robbins asked him at a point, “What exactly do you do as a coach?” Wooden’s answer was very simple; he trained his players in the basics of the game. A large percentage of the training for the team was doing simple drills such as lay-ups and free throws.</p>
<p>This makes sense if you consider the following scenario: The clock is running down. There is only a minute left in the game and your team is behind by a single point. In the last 5 seconds of the game there is a foul committed by the opposing team. Now you must sink two free throws in order to win the game. The crowd is cheering you on in anticipation.</p>
<p>Making the free throw, you have no time to think about anything. You simply must let your body do what it already knows to do. If you are not grounded in your basic training or if your mind interferes, you will not be able to make the shot. It’s the same in our everyday lives, which get filled with all manner of excitement. Without the basic building blocks in place, running on muscle memory automatically, we will never be able to live how we want.</p>
<p>So just what are the basics that are important to our health and well-being? They include the habits that maintain your body’s <a href="http://life-enthusiast.com/index/Education/pHBalance">pH level</a>, <a href="http://life-enthusiast.com/index/Education/AminoAcids">amino acids</a>, <a href="http://life-enthusiast.com/index/Education/Enzymes">enzymes</a>, minerals, water, air. Be sure to check out the <a href="http://life-enthusiast.com/index/Education/">Health Education</a> page of our website for more information.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We have always known there to be certain mysterious energies guiding as humans. In fact, since the beginning of time many names were given to this life-force.

<p>At the Life Enthusiast Co-op, we believe that no matter how good the treatment is that you receive, it will do little to no good if you are not tuned into a <a title="vibrational healing" href="http://life-enthusiast.com/index/Education/VibrationHealing" target="_blank">vibration</a> that is in line with love.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In keeping with the topic of my previous post, I’d like to talk a little bit about positive thinking and how it can relate to our health. One of the biggest differences between the Life Enthusiast Co-op and other <a title="medical establishment" href="http://life-enthusiast.com/index/Education/MedicalEstablishment">medical establishments</a> is we believe you can get better. We want you to believe the same thing because more often than we would be likely to admit does our health come down to self-fulfilling prophecy.</p>
<p>What exactly is a self-fulfilling prophecy? The clearest example I can think of is two students studying for the examination. One is convinced he can not pass the examination. Because of this “knowledge”, he knows he doesn’t need to study.</p>
<p>And why should he study if he already knows he can’t pass the examination?</p>
<p>On the other hand, the second student is confident in her intellectual abilities and goes to great length studying to receive an A on the exam.</p>
<p>These are both examples of self-fulfilling prophecy. It’s up to you to guess how well the first student did.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>At the <a title="Life Enthusiast" href="http://www.life-enthusiast.com">Life Enthusiast Co-op</a>, we feel that one of the most important things a person can do for health is to be aware of the toxins that they let into their body every day. Many people experience symptoms like dizziness, spaciness, sense of unreality, or loss of concentration, not knowing that they are being caused by an excess of toxins in their body. These feelings are not akin to feeling sick with a head cold or flu. People who suffer from chronic fatigue and candida overgrowth experience this very often.</p>
<p>When your body is unable to get rid of the toxins within the bloodstream, it affects your brain, your thoughts and the way you feel without you even realizing it.</p>
<p>Toxicity is most common in the lymphatic system. The reason? The lymph does not have a pump, it moves only when you are moving. When you don&#8217;t exercise enough, nutrients aren’t getting where they need to go and toxins are not getting expelled by the body the way they should be.Cellular metabolites need to be removed from cells, transferred to your blood and filtered out by your kidneys.</p>
<p>Toxin overload generally starts in the colon where your body will extract water for its internal needs. The toxins come with the water and enter the bloodstream. Your body will try to expel them but if your kidneys and liver are overwhelmed with the amount of filtering they need to do, the toxins will be backing up in the lymphatic system.</p>
<p>One of the best things you can do to counteract this process is eat lots of fiber, which keeps things moving in your colon, easing your overall toxic load.</p>
<p>You can do a fairly easy salt brine bowel flush &#8211; drink 2 quarts of water with a teaspoon of salt in each &#8211; and your bowel will flush itself within an hour.</p>
<p><a href="http://life-enthusiast.com/index/Products/Skin_Bath/Bath_Crystals:_Himalayan_Salt">Himalayan Crystal Salt </a>is the best salt of the planet, very different from the common refined salt which the mainstream media keeps telling you is so bad. Rather, this salt was crystallized over 250 million years ago from the ocean, where trilobites and other primitive life forms were swimming. We think of it as the amniotic solution from which life springs. This is actually true, since the primordial ocean was like the womb of the planet from which all life as we know it was formed.</p>
<p>Our Himalayan Crystal Salt is also powerful vibrationally &#8211; the crystals dissolve into a very potent brine. It will help you eliminate unwanted toxins from your body.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of my favorite metaphors for explaining meditation is that it is weeding the mind. Anyone who has had a garden knows that it doesn’t grow well by itself, you need to tend it often, be actively involved plant selection and care. The mind works a lot like a garden in that a few negative thoughts can spoil all the hard work you’ve put into growing your prized vegetables.</p>
<p>At its most basic level, meditation is the clearing of the mind of all thoughts entirely. It is very difficult at first to do this, but a good way to try this is to sit in a comfortable position on a couch or sofa and pick an object to focus your attention on. Many recommend an apple as a good starting point. The idea is to clear the mind of any awareness of anything other than the apple. This sounds very simple but it is extremely difficult. As soon as your mind wanders to other thoughts (which will happen within the first minute), you must immediately pull your mind back to the thought of the apple. Your ability to focus so single-mindedly will improve with time, but it requires the same effort and commitment to developing a muscle. In fact, your brain is just that, a muscle. It needs exercise like everything else. See how long you can sustain this single-minded state. Five minutes is a reasonable goal for early on, but the real benefits of meditation come with at least half an hour.</p>
<p>At this point you may be asking, what are the real benefits of meditation? Why am I staring at an apple? Firstly, in focusing your brain on this object you are calming the mind, and getting rid of any thoughts which may be present in your thinking at all times without you even knowing it. These are the “weeds”. Usually, our thoughts are colored with many biases that we are not even aware of. These thoughts affect how we go about our daily lives, the choices we make and our general attitude about the world. By focusing the mind, we cleanse ourselves of these thoughts and are able to focus only positively on what we want. You will find your days will be far more conscientious and full of life and energy after mediating, I know I do.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Have you been keeping yourself in shape? Have you been training for years? You know your body better than anyone else? That&#8217;s all good&#8230;</p>
<p>But lately (coming of age?) the aches have been creeping in. They&#8217;ve been coming on sooner and lasting longer than you remember. Lately on your runs there have been some occasional sharp pains from deep within the knees. The tendons are tender and the muscles are tight? And how about your shoulders? Or the shapr pain in the back when you&#8217;re getting the groceries out of the trunk?</p>
<p>Does this sound like you at all? It could be, right? It&#8217;s not a matter of if; it&#8217;s a matter of when. There is such a thing as aging, and it happens to people all around you.</p>
<p>No, not me &#8211; never me, you exclaim! But yes, even you will not live forever. Even you will experience decline of function as the years advance.</p>
<p>As a generation we Boomers have been more active than any generation previous. Our folks may have survived the Great Depression and fought in the Second World War but after they got home, work is the only thing they did. They wore themselves out being cogs in the industrial machine. And what do they have to show for it? Weak muscle tone, clogged arteries, strokes, heart attacks, Alzheimer&#8217;s and social security&#8230;</p>
<p>We&#8217;ve perceived the problem and have been running away from those images ever since. So what do we have to look forward to? Well a good many of us will never have to worry about the ravages of old age! We&#8217;re not going to live that long!</p>
<p>(Thanks to Dr. Wong for this article I took the pains to paraphrase &#8230; <a href="http://life-enthusiast.com/usa/health-exercise-c-262.html?pID=1139" target="_blank">read it in original</a>)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A furious Ohio mother says her 7-year-old son, who has had problems with medications, was vaccinated for swine flu at school against her wishes.</p>
<p>Kim Lutheran works as a nurse and says her son, Matthew, has had bad reactions to medicine. So, she says she signed for &#8220;no consent&#8221; on a vaccination form and then circled her intentions with a black marker to make things clear to the boy&#8217;s public school in the Toledo suburb of Oregon.</p>
<p>Lutheran says she learned Matthew still received a shot on Monday. She says the local health department must be held accountable.</p>
<p>Deputy Health Commissioner Larry Vasko says his agency has responded by changing the consent forms, telling parents not to sign or return them if they do not want their children vaccinated.</p>

<p>Unfortunately it happens all the time&#8230;</p>
<p>Sighle Kinney is fuming after her 14-year-old daughter was given four shots by the school nurse at Marcus Garvey Academy without her permission.</p>
<p>The daughter says she was called out of class by the school nurse back on January 30th and sent to the school’s clinic, which is operated by St. John’s medical.</p>
<p>While there she was given four vaccinations, including the one for HPV. It was the shot for HPV really touched a nerve.</p>
<p>Sighle was furious. She says she never gave consent for the shots to the school or St. John’s – Sighle says she even signed a document indicating never to administer medical treatment to her daughter.</p>
<p>A week after getting the shots Sighle’s 14 year-old daughter came down with a rash on her arms that spread to the rest of her body.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>An estimated 1 in 110 children have an autism spectrum disorder, according to the CDC. While there is no cure, types of early intervention treatment include behavior and communication approaches, dietary approaches, medication, or complementary and alternative medicine.</p>
<p>Even when diagnosed in toddlerhood, minority youngsters have more severe developmental delays than their white counterparts, sys Dr. Rebecca Landa, autism director at Baltimore&#8217;s Kennedy Krieger Institute. She says cultural differences in how parents view developmental milestones and how they interact with doctors may play a role.</p>
<p>Studies show that white kids may be diagnosed with autism as much as a year and a half earlier than black and other minority children, University of Pennsylvania autism expert David Mandell said, who led much of that work. Socioeconomics can play a role, if minority families have less access to health care or less education. Mandell found in one of his studies that black children with autism were more likely than whites to get the wrong diagnosis during their first visit with a specialist.</p>
<p>Landa discovered another surprising fact while leading a toddler treatment program at Kennedy Krieger Institute: Even when autism was detected early, minority children had more severe symptoms than their white counterparts. By one measure of language development, the minority patients lagged four months behind the white autistic kids, Landa reported in the Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders.</p>
<p>Summary from http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-504763_162-57386535-10391704/autism-detected-later-in-minority-children-study/</p>
<p>Here is a powerful video of an interview with Robert Kennedy Jr.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Robert Kennedy Jr explaining the situation &#8211; he tells it as he sees it, no punches pulled.</p>
<p>I think he does not tell the whole story. There is more to it than just mercury, although that is the main issue for many.</p>
<p>The vaccination schedule that is pushed upon our infants causes a lot of trouble, and the medical pharmaceutical insurance industry does not want to have its profits lowered by some &#8220;minimal&#8221; problems.</p>
