Heres a little different topic - after my futile attempt to cuss-off the stupid spammers!

How should you look after your lips? Many people (women inparticular) become habitual users of multiple-chemica;l laden products to either keep their lipe moist, or coat them with some kind of alluring color.

A ‘Yahooer’ recently asked if it was true that using lipsticka ll the time made your lips dry out…

Here is the real truth about lipsticks and lip care…

With apologies to the oft referred to Monty Python lyric of some 35 years ago (yet lingering in memories)…But notwithstanding the fact that I have neglected my personal posts of late…part in due to several new projects taking up posting time (e.g. http://www.evolvingintelligence.co.uk ) it still disappoints that there is an increasing number of folks who seem to think it is worth simply posting totally spam comments (actually usually lists of nonsensically named .coms that all feature products purporting to help with various health and erectile problems!) that I then have to BOTHER to delete!

It is also patently obvious to anyone who runs an email account (and lets the address get out and about) that there are the same (most likely) idiots sending out ridiculous mail, with stupid titles, often poorly hiding references to the V-word (that rhymes with Niagara) - or sending other direct exhortations to ’see my photos’ - in hopes of snaring another massively-ignorant punter!

I mean - just who is stupid enough to even click on such ads and not immediately bin them? Who, in their right minds, would actually consider sending for pharmaceuticals from a spammer?…And actually (1) expect to get anything reliable and safe and (2) Not expect to have their credit card and email details spread around any number of criminal types with the news that ‘they bought meds’ at best…and ‘help yourself to this line of credit’ at worst!

BUT click these ads some folks (in large numbers) MUST do every day!…Or else these pesky spam emails would die-a-death, instead of increasing in frequency!

Two earnest requests then:

1) To whom it may concern, just do not bother posting spam comments here - or even ‘pseudo real’ comments -  if you are going to try link to a meds site or other spammy website and NOT to your own REAL blog or website.

2) Everyone else…PLEASE bin spam immedietly and NEVER be tempted to click through for the reasons already alluded to, and too many others to mention!

Sometimes you run across a like mind who seems to have taken things so much further thanks to their particular life journey…

Professor Bruce Lipton is one of those folks. You may have heard of him. But if you haven’t it is well worth spending a little while watching some of the numerous revelatory videos already posted by various sources of interviews with and presentations by this ’spiritual’ scientist.

I cannot believe that anyone can listen to what Bruce Lipton has to say without the scales dropping from their eyes and getting that feeling of realization - that “of course, now it all make so much sense” feeling.

I have posted some video links below to save you time searching. the good news is that Bruce Lipton’s work might help you understand what the problems are with many things in this world today…The bad news, given his concerns about the current ‘Mass Extinction’ event that we are precipitating, is: “will we as a species take positive action to redress the problems we are causing before it is all too late?”

More on this soon - but for now I hope you enjoy the videos:

The other parts of this video sequence can all be found on YouTube.com quite easily. I’ll probably add them a bit later but you can do a quick search if you can’t wait for that

Q: What to eat for breakfast if I need to lose weight?

I am trying to lose weight by eating less and eating better foods. What do you suggest I eat for breakfast in the mornings so that I can drop a few pounds? I’ve got dinner and lunches down, just not breakfast foods yet.

A: Maybe challenging some conventional wisdom but if you want to lose weight and have a healthy positive start to the day:

1) Completely Ignore the spurious clap-trap masquerading as news about eating a big grilled sausage, bacon, egg and tomato breakfast spewed forth from a hideously mis-informed so called ‘nutritionist’ as reported from Sky News (!!!) and in retold Yahoo news today:
Yahoo “News”
This is UTTER UNMITIGATED CLAPTRAP — and totally confusing for anyone who is trying to eat more healthily

2) Recognize what your body needs after 7 to 8 hours of enforced ‘fasting’ (i.e. while asleep) — namely:
a) Hydration
b) The reduction of any acidity (due to the continuance of digestive processes, and the effects of water loss overnight)
c) Nourishment — meaning some quickly transformed, but lasting energy source in the form of more complex carbohydrates

Bear in mind also that ’sugars’ should be avoided as they are both acidifying and burn too quickly…this means avoid using actual sugars (such as on cereals — and IF you do choose to eat cereals use only those with no added sugar — oats for example are a good choice)

This also means avoiding too much sweet fruit as they are simply alternative sugar sources and little better than a candy bar (or so-called ‘breakfast bars’ most of which are simply profit-making sugar sicks that should be shunned a all times).

Ideally you should therefore try to eat food which provide some complex carbs, some mineral nutrients, some water, and some alkalizing effects.

An ideal start to the day would therefore be:
i) A half pint of good quality mineral water (or home distilled water) within a few minutes of waking.
ii) After a refreshing wash (i.e. not too soon after the water)– a good sized plateful of cucumber and tomatoes (and a generous sprinkling of fresh chopped parsley, plus some mild sweet salad onions IF you aren’t going to work in close proximity with clients for a couple of hours! Onions are a good source of flavonoids which are not only anti-cancer but also are known to be anti-bacterial, anti-viral, anti-allergenic and anti-inflammatory), generously dressed with extra virgin olive oil and lemon juice, an seasoned with naturally iodine and mineral rich sea salt, and a little black pepper (or a milder chilli pepper — like pimenton picante; or sweet pimenton dulce — if you like it).

You could alternatively make these same ingredients into a superb ’smoothie’ (some might call it Gazpacho!) along with a couple of small cloves of fresh garlic for its additional anti-viral and blood cleansing properties.

If you still crave some further substance a slice of wholemeal spelt (a lower gluten wheatflour alternative) soda bread (i.e. NO yeast!) which is VERY easy to make at home, or a couple of organic rice cakes, would be OK topped with EV olive oil…or even a smear of butter wouldn’t be out of the question on occasions!

This is a TRULY health start to the day that will support your system in many ways and contribute to your weight loss goals. Ignore all else Good luck!

Maybe you are well aware of Thimerosal, a chemical preservative used for multi-use vials of vaccine. In which case this may not be new to you. Nonetheless Robert F Kennedy’s information drives home the scandalous lack of real public care by those entrusted with the same in the US over the last few decades.

How little is a life worth? Make your own judgment based on the ‘economic factors’ that evidently drove (drive!) the decisions made by many politicians and scientists, rather than a true duty of care for their fellow humans. Take care who YOU vote for in future if you are actually bothered about your own, and your family’s health and wellbeing…For TOO MANY…it is already TOO LATE:

Robert F Kennedy used the Freedom of Information Act to gain access to some startling records. IF you’ve never read ‘Evidence of Harm’ by David Kirby (more details: http://www.evidenceofharm.com/) then Kennedy’s appraisal will be succinct and shocking for you - especially if you live in the USA and have children who were born during the ‘Thimerosal Years’. Here is just one important passage:

QUOTE:

“…Under pressure from congress, parents and a few of its own panel members, the Institute of Medicine reluctantly convened a second panel to review the findings of the first. In February, the new panel, composed of different scientists, criticized the earlier panel for its lack of transparency and urged the CDC to make its vaccine database available to the public.

So far, though, only two scientists have managed to gain access. Dr.Mark Geier, president of the Genetics Center of America, and his son, David, spent a year battling to obtain the medical records from the CDC. Since August 2002, when members of Congress pressured the agency to turn over the data, the Geiers have completed six studies that demonstrate a powerful correlation between thimerosal and neurological damage in children. One study, which compares the cumulative dose of mercury received by children born between 1981 and 1985 with those born between 1990 and 1996, found a “very significant relationship” between autism and vaccines. Another study of educational performance found that kids who received higher doses of thimerosal in vaccines were nearly three times as likely to be diagnosed with autism and more than three times as likely to suffer from speech disorders and mental
retardation. Another soon-to-be published study shows that autism rates are in decline following the recent elimination of thimerosal from most vaccines.

As the federal government worked to prevent scientists from studying vaccines, others have stepped in to study the link to autism. In April, reporter Dan Olmsted of UPI undertook one of the more interesting studies himself. Searching for children who had not been exposed to mercury in vaccines — the kind of population that scientists typically use as a “control” in experiments — Olmsted scoured the Amish of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, who refuse to immunize their infants. Given the national rate of autism, Olmsted calculated that there should be 130 autistics among the Amish. He found only four. One had been exposed to high levels of mercury from a power plant. The other three — including one child adopted from outside the Amish community — had received their vaccines…”

And another brief quote:

“…I devoted time to study this issue because I believe that this is a moral crisis that must be addressed. If, as the evidence suggests, our public-health authorities knowingly allowed the pharmaceutical industry to poison an entire generation of American children, their actions arguably constitute one of the biggest scandals in the annals of American medicine…”

Be sure to read the whole of Robert F Kennedy’s letter, posted in a Google.Groups forum here:

Maybe you already know about vaccination and the issues that have been raised about its true efficacy and safety. If not then it would be a valuable 2 1/2 hours to set aside to watch this video whilst it is available. It is well researched, and well presented in a non-sensational, objective style that leaves you to make you own mind up based on the evidence provided.

I hope you’ll take time to watch at least some of the video — and more than this I hope you’ll send this page on to anyone you know who may be considering vaccinations for themselves or their younger family members, just now:

I recently tried to address one of those ‘Big’ themes that regularly crops up on Yahoo Answers. The questioner basically asked if God was indeed, simply ‘everything’. One presumes that this concept or idea may have been influenced by the thought that if nothing existed before God caused it to exist, then was everything simply an ‘extension’ of God.

My effort to answer this question was made at about 1.30 a.m. and whilst I’m posting it here for now — I reserve the right to ‘tweak’ it in due course as an when my ‘creative muse’ inspires me to improve upon my no doubt all too feeble effort to address such a conceptually challenging subject…I’m only ‘human’ after all:

In My Humble Opinion:

No. But God is in us all.

It would be a mistake to think that God IS everything.

It would also be wrong to suggest that God is a person. God is in fact unknowable. That is to say God cannot be comprehended by the human mind. In fact, God is beyond the ability of the mortal powers of conception. This is not really surprising, but it is generally little talked of…probably mainly because it is easier to allow people at least to have some ‘kind of’ idea of God as being a ‘human like’ entity, albeit all-powerful and the font of all wisdom. But as some hymns still have it, God is in fact ‘ineffable’: “incapable of being expressed or described in words; inexpressible” or “not to be spoken because of its sacredness; unutterable”, as the online dictionary has it.

Whilst God is not ‘everything’, God could perhaps be said to be ‘responsible’ for everything - but even this observation is too simplistic to have any real meaning.

Each of us — as a human being — has a mortal body, which provides an Earthly chalice for our immortal soul and we are are also blessed with the Holy Spirit.

The body ceases to exist upon death of the mortal human biological being. The soul, however, goes on to the next plane. The ‘level of entry’ to the next, spiritual plane, is determined by the development we have achieved (or degree of enlightenment we have aspired to) during our mortal tenure. As individuals we have a choice whether or not to ‘develop’ spiritually whilst we are on this mortal plane. This is an aspect of the concept of free will. Ultimately, the ‘choice’ (for can a choice truly be said to be made when we remain in a state of relative ignorance about spirituality?) to develop spiritually will have an impact on how much we ‘get out of’ our mortal existence — how much happiness, how much satisfaction, how much fulfillment, and so on — and will also affect how ready we are to enter at a particular level into the next part of the process of our ’spiritual development’.

If we recognize the immense benefit that the aspects of spiritual development we can achieve on Earth offers to us, then in choosing to develop as a spiritual being we ‘allow God into our lives’ and are consequently are able to become enlightened by the Holy Spirit. There have been some exceptional beings whose own human spirit has been so special, so strong and endowed with such potential, that they have become what has been described as ‘enlightened’ beings. Given the fallibility of the system we currently have for ‘developing’ humans from infant through to adult, it is sometimes difficult to imagine that all of us have the same opportunity and potential to choose the spiritual path towards true fulfillment as a mortal human. For a child raised in conditions where education is undervalued, surrounded by ‘role models’ who are themselves ‘damaged goods’, and beset by lurid marketing imagery and constant ‘distraction’, it may be hard to see how they could ever have a fair chance of developing spiritually. It is evident that many today ‘fall by the wayside’ as a result of the impact of negative nurturing. However we are also all creatures of Nature, which must mean that even the worst of influences and experiences can be overcome, and a channel towards significant spiritual enlightenment can be opened up. There are too many examples of beings who have achieved phenomenal personal and spiritual achievement despite many negative impositions, to dispute this.

The Holy Spirit is the Aspect of God that is with us, and within us, throughout our mortal tenure. It is always there, but how much we recognize it is up to each individual. This is why, for example, atheists live lives without truly knowing an important aspect of human potential and enlightenment. Their God given right to refuse to acknowledge that God exists, in itself ’stultifies’ their potential spiritual development. It is a ‘pretty’ conundrum! But necessary, because what kind of true ‘omnipotence’ is there in a God that must resort to force to ensure that every human acknowledges that a Supreme entity exists. God ‘knows’ that all human souls will still have plenty of opportunity to develop, the fact that we measure our lifespan in a matter of less than a century, means that failure to acknowledge the Godhead, as a mortal human, is but a fleeting moment in terms of cosmic time. Considering that our further development, in spiritual form might take many eons, no God could hold a few decades of ‘headstrong ignorance’, simple ‘lack of intuition’, or too much of a reliance on/acceptance of the inherently ‘flawed’ ideas and explanations deriving from human science and logic, for the explanation of ‘life the Universe and everything’!

Indeed, the ability to choose to be a ‘non-believer’, is also an important part of God’s blessing of free will, free choice and part of the total experience of being part of humanity. This is the only time (as stated, a cosmically ”minimal period of about 70-90 years) that our ’selves’ will have the chance to have this kind of experience.

That is why this ‘human life’ is such a critical opportunity to learn about loving, giving and being part of a community of beings. Our frail mortal bodies, governed by terribly fallible but potentially powerful human minds, beset by all kinds of distractions, temptations and unnatural vices. The whole of ‘life’ as a human is an opportunity for making choices, learning lessons, gaining perspective, developing an appreciation that the whole is greater than the sum of the parts, which speaks of that need for Unity in order for the Human race as a whole to thrive and develop.

This ‘life’ is all-in-all a period of unparalleled learning opportunities. The short tenure on this planet is one that is filled with triumph and sadness, and by the time you end your days you are fortunate indeed if you have loved and been loved. More fortunate still if you have gained even a small portion of the enlightenment that the Holy Spirit can bring.

We are all one in the sense that we all play our small part in what should be the Unity of Mankind. Sadly too many people still miss the point, and still spend their lives distracted, sidetracked, closed of mind. This is a necessary part of the process of evolution of the species. Whilst ever there is a balance of individuals who seek only self gratification, personal reward, selfish enrichment there is a challenge to address these issues, laid down for the selfless, the wise and the truly enlightened. Who can deny that if (as outlined in the Golden Rule — posted previously) we all woke up tomorrow and treated everyone else ‘as we would wish to be treated’ and truly ‘loved our neighbour’, then the world would instantly be transformed into ‘Paradise’. This ’solution’ has been within our grasp since it was clearly articulated at least two thousands of years, and seemingly endlessly repeated by the enlightened Messengers across the ages. Even so there is still enough bigotry, prejudice, hatred, selfishness, greed, envy…and so on to ensure we are yet many more millennia away from creating our ‘Heaven on Earth’.

When we die, and cease to exist as a mortal human, our soul transcends to the next plane of existence. At this time the Holy Spirit leaves us to continues to work with other human souls whilst they are bound to their mortal body, and mayhap can positively influence the mortal mind within which they reside.

In truth — we live in a world of multitudinous metaphor and all around us are the clues, the sources of learning, the myriad messages enshrined in the very way that Nature works. Such is the ‘multi-dimensional-experiential’ School that God has provided for all of us to learn the things we ‘need to know’ before we can truly progress to the higher spiritual planes of existence. Such is the Earth — our Blessed School, and ‘Play ground’. God is NOT simply ‘everything’, but God has caused everything to be for a purpose, such that every human being has the opportunity to become more than they are, or at least more than they may seem to be. For just as the Human Race as a whole, when Unified (as is the only true objective of Mankind) will prove indeed that the ‘whole is greater than the sum of the parts’ — such is also the case for any individual human, who is more than the sum of bones, muscle, organs and brain he or she appears to be. When working in a purposeful, unified way (i.e. body and mind), enlightened by the Holy Spirit so that the Human Soul is properly nourished, every Human will also be seen to be a far greater ‘Whole’.

THE GOLDEN RULE is the foundation advice for life that is cited by all the major religions. This page - quoted directly from the official Universal House of Justice website, HQ for the Baha’i faith. I hope you too will spread this around…by word, deed and ‘blog!

This advice appears so widely yet seems so often overlooked. If only we could wake up tomorrow and suddenly lead our lives with the ‘golden Rule’ at its center - the world would INSTANTLY be transformed into paradise of peace, plenty and personal fulfillment.

The only real question that remains is WHY, with our supposedly advanced intellectual  capabilities, don’t we just grasp this and START applying it? After all — whatever color, race or CREED…the same advice for life has been handed on down through the ages for thousands of years!:

The question was:

Is there anything that I can do to prevent bags under my eyes?

We suggested:
Some folks are more prone than others — look at family members! But you can rejuvenate and tighten the skin using a great natural, organic serum that I have found just brilliant:
https://saferalternative.mionegroup.com/…

Facial exercise can also help a lot - you need to persist and get over the fact that you look like an idiot in the mirror - but after about 12 weeks you see amazing differences:
Here - its worth a look for the info and it does begin to have initial effects quite quickly:

Keeping skin plump — as implied by another contributor is also important - as we age we drop from around 80% water to about 60% — in a slow process of dehydration…so effort is required to keep well hydrated which not only keeps skin cells plump and full, but also flushes toxins out of the body that can otherwise exacerbate the signs of aging. You should drink about 2 to 3 liters of good quality mineral water a day (steadily and regularly - about half liter an hour or so). You will pee a lot to start with but as your body adjusts this will reduce and you’ll be AMAZED at how much fresher and more vital you feel.

Also adopting a generally more alkaline diet can help — eat plenty of green veges. Eat more raw veges. Reduce sugar, reduce white flour products, yeast products and dairy products. Only eat moderate amounts of meat (if you eat meat at all) and avoid processed foods whenever possible.

That’s a bit of a nutshell — but it will all help to keep you looking a feeling fitter, younger and healthier: for a fuller explanation see also: Boost Immune System

Healthy families need healthy toilet habits but there is quite a bit of misunderstanding about toilet regularity. Here is a recent question that earned ‘Best Answer’ approbation:

Q. Hey What’s wrong with me…I always need to go to the toilet after meals all the time….?

A. The longer you ’sit on it’ – i.e. wait to go — the more liquid is absorbed through the bowel walls and the more compacted it is likely to become — hence resulting in constipation.

It is always best to go when ‘nature calls’ and not wait — if possible This reduces chances of constipation and increases likely ease of going.

It is not unreasonable to want to go after meals. The whole digestive system ‘kicks in’ when you start to eat — from saliva production in the mouth, to acid production in the stomach, to peristaltic motion in the bowel (the waves of movement that help to move the food along the bowel to the ‘exit’!)

Other things that can trigger ‘movement’ such things as taking a warm drink of tea or coffee when you wake up…the caffeine again can kick-start the ‘motion’.

Your body is quite likely to get into a ‘routine’ when it ‘expects ‘ to go — and can be a bit difficult to ‘re-train’…

But in essence:
Hanging on to your ‘poo’ is bad for several reasons:
- Possible constipation (as mentioned)
- Resulting in straining - leading possibly to piles (haemorrhoids).
For example

You should ‘go’ when the need arises and, although it is often not realized, it is normal and healthy to go as many times as you eat (makes sense doesn’t it!) So three meals a day…three ‘poos’ a day!

MANY folks go far less often (constipation is a real issue — as can diarrhoea be)..and it is well known that up to 80% of people consuming a Western diet have severely impaired digestive processes.

You should ‘listen to your body’ and also keep well hydrated (again, most people are in a constant state of dehydration) — we really NEED to drink about 2 to 3 liters of good clean water a day (preferably natural, mineral water). This can help a lot with the problem of constipation…

But the problem of poor digestive system, stemming from reduced levels of healthy (good) bacteria in the bowels that are needed for efficient digestion also needs dealing with. For this it is worth considering a good probiotic product (that is NOT a silly little yogurt drink, by the way). There’s a useful article about probiotics here:
http://www.gonando.com/probiotics.html

Poor gut health is probably one of the MAIN pre-cursors to serious health challenges in later life so getting and keeping a healthy system whilst you are young is REALLY important. (fascinating video about what we ought to eat to keep the gut health here too: http://www.gonando.com/alkaline-foods.ht…)

So…keep on going!
