				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was very heartened recently by the US Catholic Bishops, on fire with their right concern for religious liberty… first they came for the Catholics and the like, joined with our protestant brethren and other religious groups who indeed see the persecutions ahead, if we do not address our responsibility as citizens and as children of God under the guise of law, but in reality an unjust law.</p>
<p>Here is an excerpt from the article found in the link below.</p>
<p>“It is a sobering thing to contemplate our government enacting an unjust law. An unjust law cannot be obeyed. In the face of an unjust law, an accommodation is not to be sought, especially by resorting to equivocal words and deceptive practices. If we face today the prospect of unjust laws, then Catholics in America, in solidarity with our fellow citizens, must have the courage not to obey them. No American desires this. No Catholic welcomes it. But if it should fall upon us, we must discharge it as a duty of citizenship and an obligation of faith.</p>
<p>It is essential to understand the distinction between conscientious objection and an unjust law. Conscientious objection permits some relief to those who object to a just law for reasons of conscience — conscription being the most well-known example. An unjust law is “no law at all.” It cannot be obeyed, and therefore one does not seek relief from it, but rather its repeal.”</p>
<p>The Bishops are describing how an unjust law is not to be obeyed, it is a “non-law”.  We should carefully reflect upon this, to say how many unjust laws do we have?  All the laws that have removed our God Given Liberties should be considered unjust.  All the laws that strike at the core of our constitution and nullify it should be considered unjust.  The bishops are reacting to their responsible realm of religious liberty; but there is a whole lot more that is at stake here, and a whole lot more that could fall under that category.  It is indeed our responsibility NOT to obey such laws.  This is what we need to be hearing around the world, in regards to injustice.</p>
<p>This applies to all our service men and women.  A just order &#8211; look at the orders that the Oath Keepers will not obey; this is <strong>exactly the same</strong> concept.</p>
<p>Here is a link to the article:   <a title="blocked::http://www.turtlebayandbeyond.org/2012/turtle-bay-un/us-bishops-issue-call-to-action-on-religious-freedom-an-unjust-law-cannot-be-obeyed/" href="http://www.turtlebayandbeyond.org/2012/turtle-bay-un/us-bishops-issue-call-to-action-on-religious-freedom-an-unjust-law-cannot-be-obeyed/" target="_blank">http://www.turtlebayandbeyond.org/2012/turtle-bay-un/us-bishops-issue-call-to-action-on-religious-freedom-an-unjust-law-cannot-be-obeyed/</a></p>
<p>It’s beautiful to behold, and I believe this will in some ways awaken the citizenry more.  We can only hope.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1><span style="font-size: small">I had responded to a post by Pitchman:  “Are You Smarter Than An 8th Grader? Circa – 1895” I had mentioned a number of books I was able to procure via antique shops that are good educational books; before political correctness and revisionist history.  These books are the ones that help us with our reasoning and observational skills.  So I said I’d put together a list of some of the books and some links for free copies, or where you can’t get free copies, places where they are available so  you can buy them if you like.  I am very much a paper person, so I prefer the books themselves.  There is something about holding a book…, plus if we have no electricity, it will be difficult to read the e-books.  One of the fascinating things about these books, is that some of them had incredibly dense paper; very heavy for such small books. </span></h1>
<h1><span style="font-size: small">The only problem I had with the old books is that some of them have that musty smell, and others are in need of repair.  Luckily I had found a copy of book repair (conservation) manual at a librarian’s archive.  Here is the link: http://library.state.ak.us/hist/conman.html.  So I’m going to attain some of the supplies and fix them up.  I had worked in a library a few eons ago, so I have done some of this before.</span></h1>
<p>Some general free reading links:</p>
<p>Openlibrary.org site; where you can read lots of books for free is awesome.</p>
<p>www.scribd.com is another “freebie” website; but it has the membership, and the ads etc. along with it, so it’s not my favorite.</p>
<p>The google free e-books you have to have a google account to log on.</p>
<p>Other good sources for good old books are flea markets; antique shops; rummage sales; and especially estate sales, you may find an entire library there and of course finally on-line book swaps etc.</p>
<p>Most of these are not “politically correct” obviously; they use terms we wouldn’t use today, but they are not meant to be insulting or used in a derogatory way, simply phrases and words used in this age.  They talk about God and the Christian heritage of our nation, things that were nixed out of our schools thanks to people like Madeline O’hare.  So depending on your leanings, like I took the medical books; you take what you like and leave the rest. But a treasure you will indeed find.  I think I would have enjoyed school much more in my younger years, if these were the words I had read instead of a dry list of facts devoid of character and richness of language.</p>
<h1><span style="font-size: small">Here are a “few”. Most have free copies you can read on-line; some you can copy.  Others if you want them you’ll have to find or buy them</span>.</h1>
<p>Happy Reading!  and Happy Learning!</p>
<ul>
<li><span style="text-decoration: underline">Learning to think,</span> by Jacob Abott, lessons to assist the reflective and reasoning powers of children, 1855),  http://www.amazon.com/Learning-Think-Consisting-Entertaining-Reflective/dp/1437071937.  My copy was ripped and torn pages, but it was only $3  Here is the <strong><em>free e-book copy</em></strong> http://books.google.com/books/about/Learning_to_think.html?id=vsYRAAAAIAAJ</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li><span style="text-decoration: underline">The child’s book of nature</span>. Worthington Hooker MD; 1886).. http://books.google.com/books?id=KMwMAAAAYAAJ&amp;source=gbs_book_other_versions; <strong><em>this is an earlier edition</em></strong>   or http://www.alibris.com/search/books/qwork/8886016/used/The%20Child%27s%20Book%20of%20Nature  I found mine for about $6.  I personally love this one.</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li><span style="text-decoration: underline">Encyclopedia of practical information and useful formulary for every trade and profession by Robert Bradbury MD</span> (1889)” had all sorts of fun recipes and techniques for every trade (its about 3 1/2 inches thick 779 pg.  8 x 11 inch pages); I saw this one on e-bay for over $200; not on the freebie sites; I found mine at an antique dealer for $5.  Afraid you may have to look for this at antique dealers or Craig’s list.  Or I’d better get busy typing it into the computer <img src='http://dont-tread-on.me/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' />   With this age of a book; the copyright will be expired I believe.  I found a number of cool recipes for different trades; wood finishing, perfume, medicine etc.  It has the medical department, trades department, agriculture department, household department, business department, mineral department, educational department and miscellaneous department.   It had elixirs; how to treat dislocations, broken bones etc.  wine recipes, hair oils, perfumes.  Many of the recipes I&#8217;d never use because they have things like quinine (used to treat malaria), opium and other highly regulated items; but others are made from herbs readily available. There was the table to calculate how many bricks you needed to build a house.  There were laws of apprenticeship and other business agreements etc.  It is quite fascinating.</li>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What is cookbook medicine?  It’s when the doctor’s judgment doesn’t reign supreme.  It’s when his skill as a physician doesn’t really matter and neither does the patients need or response to treatment.  </p>
<p>Cookbook medicine is often called “standards of practice” where the most frequently successful treatments are given to all collectively, and you as a physician are discouraged from doing what is right for the patient, but must merely follow the recipe, or you will not get the same $$ per member per month based on your HMO and PPO scores in treating disease, and your fraternity of physicians will frown at you (peer pressure) or worse you will lose your license to practice. You are told, you must do what is most often right for the collective (In the opinion of the elite) and not what is right for the individual patient. </p>
<p>For example: </p>
<p>1)	The patient demonstrates symptoms of x disease<br />
2)	Do all the tests in the cookbook to verify or rule out x disease<br />
3)	X disease is indeed verified based on the criteria in the cookbook<br />
4)	Order the cookbook treatments for x disease, regardless of patient response to or desire for them.  If the patient dies, it was the disease, not the treatment.</p>
<p><strong>In many cases the individual needs or desires of the patient are not even recognized as legitimate. </strong> The control freakish nature of some physicians (not all) is allowed to flourish because they hold power over you and your life and in some severe cases is a power trip for them, and they feed off that control they have over you.  But only if you let them that is, and think their answer is the only answer.  I prefer never to give anyone that power, because it is in your power to relinquish or keep it.  Just like your other freedoms you can give up your freedom of choice of treatment for the “security” of their “expertise” of only one treatment.  Modern medicine is simply one opinion of many that I may or may not follow and I fully take responsibility for my choice, because it is made thoughtfully and with research and with much debate and review of all choices, not just the one the box of medicine is giving me.  </p>
<p>A recent case comes to mind of a child who was treated in Michigan for cancer.  The child became tumor free after the initial bouts of incredibly difficult therapy.  The doctor wanted to follow the cookbook and give several more rounds.  The child was barely able to handle the past treatments and the parents didn’t believe he could handle more, so in an effort to preserve his life they protested, with solid and good reasoning, but still the doctor pursued at great length until child protective services was called in.  The parents are arguing 1) the drugs can cause major side effects (heart failure, irreversible heart damage, infertility, nerve damage etc.) 2) the drugs are not even approved to be used in children [side effects with greater frequency and higher risk seen than in adults] 3) they were not proven to be effective on the child’s form of cancer. and 4) The child is without tumors or objective evidence of cancer so why continue to make him suffer the treatments, especially when prolonged treatment causes later cancers to develop, and he is already so frail from the previous treatments. So why take the risk?    This is being fought on the grounds of parental rights by the HSLDA.  We use reason to decide it makes no sense to continue.  The doctor pursues and says you must because that is how we treat the disease; judgment and reason play no part in it.  Even without FDA approval for these indications or use in children, even with the extreme warnings and side effects.  It does not matter to the cookbook.  </p>
<p>You see, when the time comes after Obamacare has been in place and no physician can make enough money to warrant the hassle for his efforts and hours put in, there won’t be any really good ones left on the government dole, so the cookbook style medicine will work with lesser skilled medical service providers; little judgment necessary only cursory medical knowledge to categorize and recognize general types of disease and order tests.  Anyone can do it right?  If the “judgment” of the physician is to always follow the recipe is that really judgment?  Now I know I’m using an absolute here, but it is relevant in this case, because that is exactly what the doctor said, and I have found in practice to be true in many (not all) cases.  [said for the benefit of prudentis, yes I do listen!  <img src='http://dont-tread-on.me/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> ]</p>
<p>“The doctor told me during the deposition that she thinks that she should make the call—for every child in this situation. And she would give the same answer every time, rather than making an individual judgment.”<br />
(BREAKING: Farris defends major parental rights case (medical decisions) in Michigan Michael Farris, HSLDA Chairman)</p>
<p><strong>So you tell me, what is better, individual judgment and skill or collectivist judgment and application over the whole no matter the result or situation? </strong> I have seen many not respond well to the cookbook treatments and others that respond the way they are expected to (which is still only suppression and not true healing).  The human body is highly individualistic even in its metabolism.  I remember reading a piece of quotation by “Allen Roses, worldwide vice-president of genetics at GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), [who] said  &#8220;The vast majority of drugs &#8211; more than 90 per cent &#8211; only work in 30 or 50 per cent of the people,&#8221;.  This is why they want to explore genetic manipulation so much to “fine tune” the effect.  At least they are admitting it right?  No we are being softened up for the next stage in scientific experimentation, genetically tuned drugs. </p>
<p>http://www.globalhealingcenter.com/pharmaceutical-drug-industry-tactics/glaxo-chief-our-drugs-do-not-work-on-most-patients</p>
<p><strong>Even lab standards and indications for drug treatment (blood pressure measurements, temperature and other vital statistics) are  individualistic.</strong>  You are not supposed to treat just the numbers; you are supposed to treat the patient.  The indicated measures may be too low or too high and still be normal for the patient and not causing any problems for them, or they are ‘normal’ and the physician will refuse to do anything because there are no ‘indicators’ to do so. “Its all in your head”.  The real skill of a physician is here, individualizing care to the unique needs of the patient, whom they have gotten to know well.  And where you find a physician such as this, you have indeed found a treasure.</p>
<p><strong>I reject collectivist ideas and the obfuscation of the individual (lost and blurred into the collective).  </strong> I prefer the old days, where the doctor got to use his or her brain, make real physical assessments (not cursory ones; relying only on lab values and gizmos), make decisions on what drugs did or didn’t work, used the sales pitches of the drug men and practice standards of professional groups as general indicators, but not absolutes, and basically went by how his patients responded as opposed to what he is told to do, including using (gasp) nutrition therapies and approaches.  We can still use the cook book as guidelines for newbies, but you really shouldn’t hold the hammer down on them if at best, you have 50% response.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So this is an article to reintroduce everyone to this healing science and art, and to teach how it works (over the next several posts).  Homeopathy has many attributes that make it a great alternative and complement to modern medicine for things such as acute illness, chronic disease, and energy depletion, emotional and psychological imbalances without the dangerous side effects.  It cannot replace needed bone setting and repair, treat deep psychosis or emergency surgery, but it can do many other things gentler, better, cheaper and more completely.  It has even been used to resuscitate people.  It has a philosophy and care doctrine that is solid, unchanging and reliable. It works with the body and not against it.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>My own infant’s response to homeopathic <strong>Borax 30C</strong> for her thrush was amazing; initial aggravation (worsening of symptoms) and resolution within a few days. That is what got me started using homeopathy.  When the pharmacist told me absolutely under no circumstances let my 3 month old swallow the <em>nystatin</em> (drug) the doctor told me to put in her mouth I reasoned then I won’t put it in her mouth then either; I had to look for alternatives. She went from having mouth lesions and crying hysterically with the inability to nurse to an initial aggravation of increased crying, but sleeping within 15 minutes and eating comfortably the next time she nursed and healed ulcers in 2 days.  Her older cousin with the same problem took the <em>nystatin</em> and took months to heal.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Homeopathic<strong> Antimonium Tartaricum</strong> <strong>30C</strong> was used when after a week of coughing up clear mucus came a sudden onset of shortness of breath.  No longer able to cough up anything; the mucus was frothy and clear, tight chest and the desire to go to the Emergency Room from shortness of breath.  After one dose and 15 minutes (she could take it every 15 minutes x 3 if needed)  the airway opened, she was coughing up clear mucus and no longer short of breath.  Felt fine again.  No emergency room needed.  Her complaint resolved in a couple of days.  You can always give something on the way to the ER; that way you are covered and take adequate action for the severity of the illness when applicable.  The initial homeopaths all had MD degrees as well.  The ones from India are still trained this way, but because of the competition it was forbidden in the United States to continue this co-education in the middle 1900’s.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Homeopathy respects and follows the laws of nature while at the same time is firmly rooted in philosophy and science</strong> through its development by reproducible experiments and inductive reasoning.  It has proven over time to be consistent in treating in the sick, the indicated symptoms from medicines given to healthy people.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Homeopathy’s effectiveness increases as its apparent physical strength (chemical) decreases; yet it still acts profoundly on infants, animals and plants (who can’t respond to placebo) as well as adults and children</strong>.  And in skillful hands it also works almost miraculously in serious infectious disease, and as a result the placebo effect is highly unlikely.  It is like the millionth of a micron that can cause death in a peanut allergy patient, only a whiff in the air.  In the same way a person can be sensitive to a substance that causes harm, so also they are sensitive to their susceptible medicine; when properly prepared, the millionth of a micron of the remedy heals.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>Homeopathic philosophy is very simple<strong>.  </strong>The symptoms already existing in a person can be treated or cured by a medicine that causes those same symptoms when given to a healthy person.  This is called <strong>the law of similars or like cures like</strong>.  To further evaluate this effect, Dr. Hahnemann and his colleagues took medicines and carefully observed their effects to find what medicines could cure.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Hahnemann further established an effective way of using experiments and inductive reasoning to develop a method, and validate homeopathy’s effectiveness</strong>. Operating under this philosophy of similars, experiments and clinical use by him and his medical colleagues, Hahnemann demonstrated that similar medicines, in crude form (or unchanged), have toxic and therapeutic effects.  They helped disease, but also caused great and troubling aggravations of the illness and other unrelated side effects.  He then diluted the medicines, which reduced the side effects but also the beneficial effect. Dr. Hahnemann eventually invented the process of <strong>potentization or dynamization</strong> where he diluted the medicines by precise amounts (such as one drop material to 9 drops alcohol ) and then added kinetic energy with each dilution by succussion (10x) (<strong>succussion</strong> = hitting the vial against a solid object; like a hardcover book with the strength of dropping it to the floor).  This would be done over and over to dilute it further, such as one drop of the first solution would be added to 9 drops of alcohol and succussed 10 times for a 2x (power of 10) remedy.  (Ref 10)</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Using this method it became apparent by clinical use and experimentation that homeopathic medicines <strong>only cure</strong> if they are prescribed based on the doctrine of similars, and were precisely diluted with the addition of kinetic energy after each dilution (<strong>dynamization</strong>). The micro doses only become actively curative when they are made this way.  And because the substance is diluted beyond its physical presence in the medicine, yet its consistent and observable actions become stronger the more times dynamization is repeated, this process must transmit and amplify some of the unique energy of the original substance to the neutral solution it is dissolved in.( Ref 10).  <strong>And this energy then strengthens the healing principle (immune system, prana, vital force there are many names for it) of the person who then cures their own disease.</strong>  Dilution alone and succussion alone do not create this effect; only together.  This may have to do with the structure of water (where it stores and transfers energy), resonance and the transfer of energy between 2 storage modalities (such as kinetic and potential energy – which would explain the kinetic energy requirement) or a combination of them both. The exact mechanism is still being theorized, but the effects are consistently observed in patients and experiments.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>So by diluting to the point of no physical substance left this process makes even poisons safe to use as medicines</strong>.  In fact <strong>the most deep and profound healing medicines are the poisons, because they will treat the symptoms they cause in toxicity; which are severe enough to cause death</strong>.  Some examples include arsenicum (arsenic) mercurius (mercury) and many types of venom from snakes, frogs and other poisonous creatures.  While we do not yet fully understand this process scientifically, “unique properties of the remedies have also been identified that may give more clues to the exact principles at work”. (Ref 10).</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>It has also been hypothesized that the remedies operate by the principle of resonance, that by administering the medicine with a frequency that resonates with the frequency the person is exhibiting at the moment (collective symptoms), you increase the energetic strength of the healing principle of the person (two tuning forks that are next to each other of the same frequency; you strike one and the other starts to vibrate).  So it increases the person’s healing energy and therefore his ability to heal himself.<strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Thus it is a method that utilizes the observed laws of nature (resonance; similars) following nature’s example (cause same symptoms are exhibiting) and thus imitating it to heal (because Nature to be commanded, must be obeyed:  Francis Bacon).  It operates under strict guidelines and methods when it produces brilliant results.  It allows even dangerous materials to be made safely into helpful medicines, and utilizes all of creation to heal.  It is inexpensive, safe and deep acting.  It acts on the entirety of man; mental, emotional and physical to bring the entire body and mind into balance.  </strong></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Man, beast and plants are helped by the remedies</strong>.  For over 200 years, homeopathy has been employed.  Currently mankind and animals have been treated by physicians, homeopaths and vets with homeopathy, and recently agricultural and plant applications have begun to be explored at much reduced cost and no toxicity compared to current technologies; to strengthen plants, deter pests, disease and balance soils.  A first book on agricultural use has also been published.  (Ref 2)</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>The remedies act to heal the whole man</strong>, instead of target tissues and organs the remedies act on the healing principle of the person, which permeates their whole being.  So the remedies act on all facets of human experience; physical, emotional, and psychological, to help man create total equilibrium in natures own way and at the speed to which his body is capable of healing with the least amount of distress.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Homeopathic philosophy trusts the created wisdom of the body</strong> and its communications (symptoms) and its created ability to heal itself when given the necessary raw materials (healthy food, nutrition, exercise etc.).  Symptoms are viewed as the body’s inherent best effort in protecting itself and generally beneficial (although can be life threatening in a crisis and need to be addressed), so medicines that cause symptoms similar to what the body is already communicating resonates with the current body frequency (or symptom state) and amplifies its effect –Then the body responds in an equal and opposite manner (Newtons 3<sup>rd</sup> law of motion), to maintain equilibrium, and symptoms are relieved.  (Ref 16)</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Modern “anti” drugs (antihistamines etc.) push the body off balance and inhibit the body’s natural protective mechanisms</strong>.  In order to maintain equilibrium the body responds in equal and opposite manner, thus causing the symptoms to return, necessitating repeating drugs, and increasing dosages as the body’s equilibrium response becomes stronger than the “anti” drug or nullifying its effect altogether, necessitating using multiple of the same class of drug or alternative stronger “anti” drugs.  The drug also becomes metabolized by the body; which it does so because the body does not perceive the need for the medicine (like how your body gets rid of toxins and other extra water soluble vitamins it doesn’t need).</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>This applies to all substances that suppress the body’s response or alter conditions in any way (even over the counter drugs or some herbs).  <strong>If this change in internal environment is externally stimulated by substances not in harmony with what the body is doing, it will induce a corrective response by the body to reach equilibrium.</strong>  An antihistamine can stimulate a greater histamine response once it wears off or is metabolized, for example (more swelling, stuffier nose than before the medicine); the “rebound” effect or “addictive nature” of medicines; especially nasal sprays.  If the person’s immune system is sufficiently depressed (with disease or by drugs that suppress it e.g. steroids, antihistamines, and anti-inflammatory drugs) they will not have a strong counter-action of the body because they are limited in their ability to mount any such response.  It also means that all functions of the body that require repair or balancing will also be limited and suppressed because that is also its function.  Sometimes it becomes necessary however to use external means of manipulation to preserve life, in which case allopathy is much appreciated.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>You also know the effectiveness of healing of a medicine by the fact that you DO NOT have to take it forever</strong>!  If you have to continually take a drug or herb always, this is only palliating the symptoms and is not truly curative.  If a homeopathic remedy is used over a few years and completely rids you of the problem.  This is curative.  If the medicine can only help you with symptoms and you have to always take it, it is palliative.  Even with natural medicines, I evaluate them by this point; if it means I’ll have to take it forever and I don’t feel generally stronger and healthier, it’s not working toward a cure and only alleviates or palliates the symptoms and I do not take it.  Eventually you should not need it.  The only exception to this rule is the need for additional vitamins and minerals, because of the massive depletion of soils and reduction of nutrients in our food, and conditions where organ failure or replacement therapy is necessary (e.g. thyroid hormone etc.)</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Homeopathy focuses on the singular medicine to generate the body’s own healing power to remedy all that ails it.</strong>  The entire healing principle is stimulated and therefore the entire man can begin to be brought back into balance.  If more medicines are used at one time the healing principle of the body is sent in varied directions and its strength is then divided (creates dissonance).  It is also the better way to identify what is healing the person experimentally (only one variable changed).  When one symptom picture is healed and another presents itself, another different remedy may be needed, the symptoms must be within the remedy’s mode of action for the same remedy to be needed.  If the current disease does not get better, and new symptoms appear, these new symptoms are clues to a clearer indicator of the medicine needed.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Homeopathy is inexpensive and readily available</strong> in heath food stores around the country and on-line.  An initial consultation can range from $90 to $300 for two hours with a homeopath, compare $120 for 10 minutes x 12 (2 hours) = $1440 for 2 hours; and check ups or acute care visits can be 30 minutes for  around $40 to $80.  The remedies are about $7 for 80 pellets or 40 doses.  You can also get kits of 30 to 50 most common remedies for around $120 vs. ($7 x 50 = $350). The vial says to take 5 pellets; but only two are necessary and only one if you create and use a liquid remedy; which I will be  discussing how to make in a later post (“the homeopathic remedies”), and was the preferred method of use by Hahnemann late in his development of homeopathy.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>It also focuses on the minimum or smallest dose, for the fewest repetitions </strong>(sometimes only one dose in acute cases),<strong> and the shortest duration of time.</strong>  The homeopath does his/her job if you see them less over time as your body increases the strength of its healing principle you should be able to handle things without help (or distress).  You should become more familiar with their use and become more independent in minor complaints and illnesses.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>There is often a connection between the substance of the remedy, its environment and the symptoms it will treat [Doctrine of Signatures]</strong>.  In understanding the source and qualities of the remedy, you can understand why it treats what it does.  This relationship creates in the mind connections and reasonableness to help you remember what it works for.  Homeopathy is not founded on this discipline, but it is often found to be helpful in remembering the remedies.  For example Arnica Montana grows in peat, so it thrives in decay and damage; so its action is strong in injury that causes bleeding/bruising/cell damage and septic (blood poisoning) conditions.  It grows in the mountains; an animal would fall into it being injured by the fall and chew on its leaves for relief.  A person who needs arnica will push themselves beyond what they should to “survive” [is ingrained into many soldiers in order to survive battle].  They may not want to be touched for fear of pain by touching them, and an arnica mental state will in great debility say “there is nothing wrong with me; go away” (this is shock).  Prisma by Frans Vermeulen is a beautifully descriptive volume of great depth from multiple disciplines on remedies; where they come from; what they have been used for in the past, scientific data on them, herbal use and lore etc. to enlighten a person in their use.</p>
<p>The next installment will discuss what health is.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Imagine a world where there is free energy, where strong nations didn’t withhold efficient energy technology from their people or smaller countries for said “national security” but really was withheld for greater control and taxation.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Imagine a world where the cheapest and most effective medicines and medical technologies were allowed to be made and used by all, where the actual problem was fixed and the endless covering up of symptoms while the disease progresses stopped.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Imagine a world where there was great diversity and purity in our food supply; no more genetically modified, over processed and vitality free foods; instead we had food that strengthened and provided enough nutrients to prevent diseases.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Imagine a world of hard working people, who wanted to do what they could to help one another, no one took advantage, no one scammed the system, no one was trying to get a free ride.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Imagine a world where the most important emphasis on health was nutrition and exercise, where the people realized that the answer to their health problems was taking better care of themselves,  and not that they suffered from a drug deficiency.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Imagine a world where corporations and trade unions were not able to use the government to regulate away their competition.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Imagine a world where diesel engines were made to use simple biofuels (not the current bio-fuel version which still requires very significant processing) which made farms self sufficient and reduced pollution significantly or nitrogen cars were used completely removing our dependence on foreign petroleum, which simply made oxygen and water from using it as power?</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Imagine all the designs and inventions that were snuffed out by corporate greed and desire for control of the masses being produced and used and best of all shared.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>All of this is on the horizon believe it or not, because the greed and evil of this current paradigm will come to an end, their power, their influence and the effects of their control.  They do not believe it yet, but it will die. God offers mercy, yet in mans stubbornness he hardens his heart and sins all the more.  As a result of this “Near at hand is the scourge that will cleanse the earth of evil. Divine Justice clamors for satisfaction for the many offenses and evils which cover the earth.  No more to be tolerated”.  (Sr. Elena Aiello)</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Just like prior to the birth of Christ, many religions came together with different pieces of the puzzle about His birth, so today many religions and prognostications are about the “age of peace”.  The Mayan calendar ends in 2012 because this begins the age of peace, the Native Americans speak of it, it has been foretold by Mary to the three children at Fatima, where the greatest miracle of the sun happened on October 13, 1917, which was predicted ahead of time, witnessed by 70,000 people and written about in the atheistic press.  Other religions as well speak of a coming age of peace.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Prophecy is always to give us hope in times of distress.  The light in the darkness</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>This age of peace though is not without its painful beginnings.  In prophecy it is mentioned as the minor tribulation or chastisement.  We will have the fall of the current system, which will not go quietly into the night.  Because of the worldwide greed and malfeasance the tumult will be wide spread and desperate, especially once TPTB realize they are losing control.  Then we have the consequences of wars and unrest, famine, pestilence and poverty.  “Before the war breaks out again, food will be scarce and expensive.  There will be little work for the workers, and fathers will hear their children crying for food.  There will be earthquakes and signs in the sun, towards the end darkness will cover the earth.” (The Ecstatic of Tours) However this will be short lived once divine forces to stop the evil intervene.  The degree of troubles can be lessened by repentance and amendment of life and penance, but avoiding them altogether (being conditional) I think is not possible at this point.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Because of our interconnectedness with our world (unified theory) the weather responds in odd ways to the level of evil on the earth.  Almost like the drainage from a cold, washing away the irritation.  Evil is not in harmony with God’s creation and therefore as the evil increases in the world, the world becomes more irritated and wants to flush away the great evil by natural disasters, and weather extremes.  These are its natural response and therefore we should expect them.  It’s not the result of “global warming” or whatever its name is this week.  I’m not sure if HAARP can amplify its intensity or not.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>So how does the world then rid itself of all the evil that plagues it?  God permits a chastisement to “awaken us from our apathy” as a divine mercy.  (Sr. Jeanne)</p>
<p>While I am not glad for the sheer loss of life, prophecy speaks of the three days of darkness toward the end of the minor tribulation or chastisement, where all evil will be removed from the earth, akin to Passover.  The people, given warning to stay inside and pray because of a pestilence in the air, to feed their animals for 3 days and not look or go outside, to use blessed candles, which will be the only thing that will give light and only in the homes of the just.  While all others that are inclined to evil, no matter how deep in the ground they hide, no matter how strong their bunkers are and some that are good though unprepared, perish.  “Clouds with lightning rays of fire and a tempest of fire will pass over the whole world and the punishment will be the most terrible ever known in the history of mankind.  It will last 70 hours.  The wicked will be crushed and eliminated.  Many will be lost because they stubbornly remained in their sins.  Then they will feel the force of light over darkness.  The hours of darkness are near… some nations will be purified while others will disappear altogether.”  (Sr. Elena).</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>This sets the stage for the rebirth of the world.  It is not destroyed by flood again, but by fire, lightning, storm, and the demons themselves.  “The air shall be infected by demons who will appear under all sorts of hideous forms” (Blessed Anna-Maria Taigi).  I find it very paradoxical that evil is destroyed by the evil it serves.  But who should be surprised by the king of lies when he says he will reward you and then he laughs while he punishes you!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The idea that we, after this, can rebuild the world with the awesome designs and ideas of inventors that have been shunned because they did not serve the elite, but rather the people is very inspiring!  I am very hopeful for the future and all that it promises.  Yes we have very difficult times ahead, and I may not survive it, but my children or a future generation will have the greatest time of prosperity and growth the world has ever seen, because of the completely unleashed creativity to better the lot of man, unencumbered by evil and the controls of bureaucratic control freaks.  Life will be simpler and we can again leave our homes unlocked without fear of theft.  That would be an awesome time to be alive!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The people we had a chance to meet at our meeting in Ohio are only a sample of the good people out there.   It is a very hope filled future indeed.  We simply need to hunker down, keep working on ideas and be ready to work together to survive and rebuild once it’s time. “….the best that can be done would be to remain where God has placed us, and persevere in fervent prayers.” (Fr. Nectou) because “If and when a chastisement comes, either for us or some future generation, it would be more or less universal – no safe area” (Birch) [although getting out of the cities seems a good plan to me].  And in the end “Justice will reign throughout the whole world, and the counter revolution will be accomplished” (Fr. Nectou).   Amen!</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>As far as physicians go, the majority of them earnestly want to help people, but they are in a box, defined and controlled by the establishment [like the public and the MSM].</strong>  The establishment controls what they know, what they perceive as truth and what they are willing to believe.  Internship and Residency is kind of like boot camp.  They are beaten down, exhausted and then they are molded into the image of the establishment.  They are also kept functioning in that image by regulation, peer pressure, demands of insurance companies, lawyers, ridiculous lawsuits (that’s us), and the law.  They don’t even have one general class in nutrition and its effects on health [only therapeutic diets]– this is foundational!   Continuing Education provided free by the drug companies keeps them on the path as well as keeping them so busy they don’t have time to do much reading outside of the establishment.  They are also want to keep themselves together and only associate as a group and often have not mingled with non-doctors [this may not be the case today but it was very much so in the past], this establishes and maintains group think.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>There have been many “heretics” that have left the ranks after experience has created cognitive dissonance.</strong>  One of my favorites is Dr. Robert Mendelsohn, and his “confessions of a medical heretic” and “How to have a healthy child in spite of your doctor”.  All you have to do is open your eyes and be open to the truth no matter how painful.   You can see alarming trends in death, damage and disease from medical treatments, just like in the 1800’s, alongside wonderful surgeries and saving of life; its almost a paradox.  You can also see the concerted efforts to dissuade people from using natural approaches or alternative methods.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>This “heretical path” is the path Dr. Hahnemann took.  He couldn’t abide by the cognitive dissonance so he took the path that unbiased observation and careful experimentation lead him down, despite its painful and consequential results from many of his peers, utter rejection and chastisement.  Yet he still continued; because he had opened a door he was driven to walk through, that unbiased and unconcerned observation, thrusted him through, and we have the gift of homeopathy as a result.  How many other therapies that are truly gentle and most effective are we missing, because the status quo must be maintained at all costs?  Even to the tune of millions per year who die from the status quo?</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Don’t even get me started on the hypocrisy, double standards and injustice of this medical system, where millions die each year from unnecessary surgery, complications, hospital acquired infections, correct use of drugs, drug interactions, etc. etc.  yet even if one were to fall ill or heaven forbid possibly die from a herb or “supplement” they (the establishment) want immediate action, regulation and removal from the market</strong>.  How many years does it take to remove a hastily approved drug with high death tolls?  Too long. [example: Avandia]; physicans are hard pressed to even attribute changes in a persons health to a drug (especially the sacred cow vaccines) it’s “old age” or something ridiculous like that; so more drugs are prescribed to take care of the new symptom as well.  What a racket! This is all done under the convenient umbrella of “protecting the public”.  This, my friends is a tyrannical and unjust mechanism.  Why is it ok to die at their hands but not even get sick using another modality (even if you did it to yourself by not reading the label!).  Why are we not the arbiters of our own destiny and in control of our own bodies and health choices?  They believe again that we are the military; that we do not have sovereignty over our own bodies because of the “public good”.  We do not possibly know enough about ourselves to make even a generally good choice for our health.  They are the “experts”.  What is that quote about an individual’s  best choices for himself are better for society that the choice of a few for all.?</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>About vaccines, why do we have to use only their ideas, which involve more and more drugs?</strong>  Like how about focus on health and improving the internal terrain of the body so it doesn’t support disease of any sort, not just reduce susceptibility to infections disease?  I mean homeopathy was kicking the butt of those diseases many years ago – prior to antibiotics why can’t that be another choice we can make in acute conditions?  Why should they have absolute say in what is “good” or “not good” for the public?  It is only one very limited perspective on disease and health.  “Public Health” is a leviathan and has woven its tentacles in all aspects of our lives (more of this soon because of the healthcare bill); now that the state is paying for our healthcare they control our bodies and what we can heal them with (just like the military men).  They keep pushing and have taken the extreme view of “allowing” us only certain amounts of salt to be served to us at restaurants in certain places (thanks to the first lady).  More and more control all under the wonderful umbrella of “public health”.  They in reality should be in charge of public sanitation and that’s about it.  Epidemics could be managed by physician/other modality cooperatives which share information on what essential oils, herbs, homeopathic medicines etc. are working or have worked on a similar condition in the past.  We shouldn’t be limited by the drug companies to have them as the only answer to our medical problems; and if their answer doesn’t work we are SOL and have to accept death or injury as a result of “can’t do anything further” because nothing else is allowed public discourse.  I refuse to accept that answer because I know it is not the only answer.  I choose to live outside their box and not be limited by it.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>And how about the sheer number of vaccines they are pumping into people?</strong>  Surely, even if a single vaccine is ok for a person to detoxify, the antifreeze, mercury, aluminum, etc. in it, how about the cumulative effects of now 35 of them before they are teens (and more on the way and in development all the time)?  What about the never leaving the body accumulation of these things?  Not to mention the use of chicken, pig, human embryo, and other proteins that can trigger immune problems later or cross the human/animal barrier for disease because of direct injection into the body.  These things should be questioned and investigated thoroughly before ANY new ones are added and maybe decrease them to pre-1980 levels to see if all these diseases (like autism etc.) decline.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>If I only accept what I am told by the box of modern medicine and simply roll over in resignation I am missing a great opportunity to grow and with great hope even to heal myself if it is God’s will.  </strong>This all seems like common sense to me now, but it is only because over time I have removed the fear programming they have put in place against choosing another modality for any reason.  It’s almost like leaving an abusive relationship for a good one; it’s so different, so strange, so scary and suddenly I have to take the responsibility for my own health instead of always asking someone else.  Your fear of the unknown can seem greater than the pain of the moment so you usually remain with the familiar no matter how great the suffering; we must break this.  Many people also do not want to take any responsibility for their predicament. “ I don’t want to change how I live, just give me a pill”.  This is a fatal mistake! The impatient and instant gratification society finds difficulty with what it takes to truly be well.</p>
<p><strong>It takes great courage and fortitude to change, you need to find a support when those inevitable days of doubt come;</strong> <strong>and some cases are very appropriate for allopathic care, </strong>if you want you can “double check” with your doctor, but don’t expect any kind of encouragement.  I had to read and learn and grow in my knowledge of myself and listen to my body.  My medical training helped, but all those years of indoctrination and practice habits create a definite path in the brain and to create new paths, and allowing new ideas and methods to take root is like reformatting the hard drive of your brain; it’s very perceptible, takes work and can be difficult.  But as I read more foundational material (Beuchamp, Naessens, Rife etc.) this made more sense to me and answered all the unanswerable questions of the current paradigm.  It brought peace to my understanding and once I read the high levels of success of homeopathic remedies in the epidemics of the past, when antibiotics are failing at an alarming rate and we are told that we just have to accept it I say “rubbish”!  Embrace the new medicine, which is the old medicine (take care of the body and it will take care of you) and breathe a sigh of relief.</p>
<p><strong>But just to be clear about the agenda of the elite regarding us “common folk”, wars, vaccines and “health care”, you only need to listen to their own words</strong>.</p>
<p>&#8220;In order to stabilize world population, we must eliminate 350,000 people per day. It is a horrible thing to say, but it is just as bad not to say it.&#8221;</p>
<p>- Jacques Cousteau,  1991 UNESCO</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&#8220;Society has no business to permit degenerates to reproduce their kind…. Any group of farmers who permitted their best stock not to breed, and let all the increase come from the worst stock, would be treated as fit inmates for an asylum…. Some day we will realize that the prime duty, the inescapable duty of the good citizens of the right type is to leave his or her blood behind him in the world; and that we have no business to permit the perpetuation of citizens of the wrong type.&#8221;  [and just who do you think they believe the “right type” is?  Certainly not us who would challenge their beliefs and actions! ]</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>- Theodore Roosevelt to Charles B. Davenport, January 3, 1913</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“I do not pretend that birth control is the only way in which population can be kept from increasing… War… has hitherto been disappointing in this respect, but perhaps bacteriological war may prove more effective<strong>. If a Black Death could be spread throughout the world once in every generation survivors could procreate freely without making the world too full</strong>… The state of affairs might be somewhat unpleasant, but what of that? <strong>Really high-minded people are indifferent to happiness, especially other people’s</strong>… There are three ways of securing a society that shall be stable as regards population. The first is that of birth control, the second that of infanticide or really destructive wars, and the third that of general misery except for a powerful minority…”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>-         Bertrand Russell, THE IMPACT OF SCIENCE ON SOCIETY 1953</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&#8220;In the event that I am reincarnated, I would like to return as a deadly virus, in order to contribute something to solve overpopulation.&#8221;&#8211;Prince Philip</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&#8220;Depopulation should be the highest priority of U.S. foreign policy towards the Third World.&#8221; (this is for) reasons of national security, and because the U.S. economy will require large and increasing amounts of minerals from abroad, especially from less-developed countries &#8230; Wherever a lessening of population can increase the prospects for such stability, population policy becomes relevant to resources, supplies and to the economic interests of U.S.&#8221; &#8212;Henry Kissinger [this greedy man is truly imperialistic and evil; this is the basis of all our “aid to the third world; food for sterilization etc”.].</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>And now my personal favorite Bill Gates:  &#8220;First we´ve got <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline">population.</span></strong> Now, the world today has 6.8 billion people. That´s headed up to about nine billion. <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline">Now, if we do a really great job on new vaccines, health care, reproductive health services, we could lower that by, perhaps, 10 or 15 percent </span></strong><span style="text-decoration: underline">[ that’s 900 million to 1.35 billion deaths they WANT  TO CREATE using wars, healthcare, vaccines and purposeful plagues)!]<strong>, </strong></span>but there we see an increase of about 1.3.&#8221;&#8211;Bill Gates (watch him say it for yourself here: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch">www.youtube.com/watch</a>  This is the guy who is experimenting with vaccines he can aerosolize and spray everyone with (chemtrails anyone?).  Anyone have a guess to his intent?  Think about that next time you buy anything Microsoft makes; you are funding a man who wants to and is spreading death to the world.  You fund your own ruin and demise. (He’s not the only one doing this just check out the council on foreign relations and all their supporters in the corporate world)</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>You can watch a video expose of our current White House Science Czar, Dr. John P. Holdren who wrote in his book, Eco-Science, that human population should be reduced to levels of around 1 billion.   <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SyK3o-fl27k&amp;feature=player_embedded#at=43">www.youtube.com/watch?v=SyK3o-fl27k&amp;feature=player_embedded#at=43</a></p>

<p><strong>History of Medicine: (from http://www.healingwatersclinic.com/articles/HistoryofMedicine.html)</strong></p>
<p><strong>1000 AD:</strong> &#8212; &#8220;Here, eat this herb.&#8221;<br />
<strong>1700:</strong> &#8212; &#8220;That herb is an old wives&#8217; tale; take this elixir.&#8221;<br />
<strong>1900: </strong>&#8211; &#8220;That elixir is quackery; take this pill.&#8221;<br />
<strong>1960:</strong> &#8212; &#8220;That pill doesn&#8217;t do any good; take this antibiotic.&#8221;<br />
<strong>2000: </strong>&#8211; &#8220;That antibiotic isn&#8217;t safe [doesn’t work]; take this herb.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>The cycle is returning once again to more natural therapies because it’s obvious the others aren’t curative, only palliate</strong> (to ease symptoms) [even though they are the only ones who can claim that they can cure anything legally; what an irony!].</p>
<p><strong>To observe without prejudice is to see mankind from a health perspective (especially western civilization) becoming progressively weaker with each generation under the current medical care paradigm,</strong> despite all the money thrown at it.  Some of the broad spectrum problems include:</p>
<ul>
<li>More psychological problems;not taught coping techniques, or how to reason; identify and solve problems; our relationships are poor because we spend all our time plugged in, we don’t even know anything about our neighbors (in a good way; our relationships with them are limited in most cases), and the establishment’s answer is of course more drugs!</li>
<li> There are vague and new diseases cropping up:  Chronic Fatigue etc.</li>
<li>Disease is more prevalent in the population (high rates of many chronic diseases, very rare is someone not taking some form of drug.</li>
<li>Diseases are more resistant to treatment (antibiotic resistance)</li>
<li>Chronic disease presents itself at earlier and earlier ages; our children will be less well than their parents or grandparents.</li>
<li>Lower fertility rates; may couples are finding themselves unable to have children (many people would applaud this, but it is a sign of deterioration of general health).</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>These deteriorations can be explained by many things</strong>;</p>
<ul>
<li>The physical degeneration of our population according to Weston A Price’s “Nutrition and physical degeneration”; in other words you are what you eat e.g. “junk” and it doesn’t provide enough for health maintenance or regeneration (fertility).</li>
<li>The consistent use of drugs that only palliate and do not fix the source of the problem, that in turn causes more disease.</li>
<li>Chronic use of neurotoxins, pesticides, herbicides and its collective effect on us and our environment (toxic load)</li>
<li>The negative effects of too much stress, limited contentment [cultivated by keeping up with the joneses] and  not enough rest</li>
<li>The effects of poor or diminishing relationships and waning support systems [using the state instead of forging our own support systems or becoming self sufficient – stress reduces the vitality of the immune system].</li>
<li>The electromagnetic effects of high EMF fields we are constantly around every day adding stress to our bodies.</li>
<li>Chronic gut problems; bad digestion, poor absorption, chronic inflammation; that are reducing the 70% of our immune system significantly.</li>
</ul>
<p>There are more, but this gives you an idea.</p>
<p><strong>This is a VERY BAD path we are on here.   Logic tells us that based on the evidence we see before us (not what THEIR “research” shows; look before your eyes in your families etc.) our system is NOT working.</strong>  Just like the economists who blindly say we are seeing “green shoots” and the economy is getting better; when in fact we are headed for financial Armageddon when the dollar dies.  The debt load is mathematically unsustainable; its just a matter of time; so in healthcare modern medicine costs are rising to unsustainable levels when general health is worsening; where is the value here?</p>
<p><strong>For breaks, emergencies; and patch up and go yes modern medicine saves many lives, but I’m talking about the meat and potatoes, daily stuff here. </strong> There is NO WAY we would have this kind of perverse health in the majority of the population if we were on the right path.  We can barely even “function” without some sort of drug or pick me up [hence the popularity of stimulants of many kinds].  This sets my “spidey sense” off as a calculated plan to reduce the population by “slow death”, especially in light of the quotes above and with the concerted efforts to squash and denigrate any real answers; the continuous pushing of horrible vitality free foods and the food additives that are still unknown and untested that are pervasive in our “food supply”.  Please view this chronic disease flow chart that stems from commonly added food enhancers e.g. MSG and its all encompassing heath ramifications.  <a href="http://www.msgtruth.org/NEWUNIFIEDTHEORY.pdf">http://www.msgtruth.org/NEWUNIFIEDTHEORY.pdf</a>  Excellent source of info, by the way the research and notations are outstanding on this site.</p>
<p><strong>So you see the fact that general health is getting worse is GOOD in their mind (the elite).  The fact that more kids are dying from SIDS and VACCINE REACTIONS is GOOD in their mind and actually an achieved goal.  The fact that we have younger and younger kids crippled with chronic disease is GOOD in their mind, which means they won’t live as long as their parents and grandparents. </strong></p>
<p>So the Fed Reserve banking cartel started their destruction by addicting everyone to debt so they can pull the rug out from under them and take all their assets when they know they can’t make the payments (real capital for spontaneously created worthless money).  These are loan sharks if I ever saw any.  The people have then endless work to pay off the debts; there is added stress to marriages, bankruptcy, and poor health.</p>
<p><strong>The Food-Industrial-Complex/AMA started our health destruction by hooking people on the “quick fix/convenience” mentality for both food and for disease</strong>; as long it tastes good; it must be good for you and long as the bothersome symptom is gone I’m fine, only to find that the your body can’t function normally so that disease has entered your life and progressed unabated and that chronic debilitating problems are their rewards (plus those added by the drugs themselves).  Those pesky things like major diet change and exercise can’t be done; we don’t have time for that.  Being too busy to do what you ought is being B=  buried U = under S= Satan’s Y = Yoke.</p>
<p>The Elite addicted the populace on freebies from the government so it would grow into what it is today; on promises that will not and cannot be kept, but the promises keep them in power when they know there will be an end to the gravy train.  And then when so many are dependent on payouts they will do anything for a loaf of bread and a shelter, no matter how crude or poor quality.  This never ends well, but like any addiction it can be broken if you have the willpower, and desire for it to happen.</p>
<p><strong>Unfortunately the poor food quality is mostly the consumers fault</strong>.  We demanded bread that lasted a month so it didn’t spoil in the store or in a quick amount of time at home; no matter what the chemicals in it did to hurt our bodies.  We liked it!  It’s our fault that we have to have “perfect” fruits and veggies; absolutely no bug holes allowed.  That is not appealing!  So they are laced with so many neurotoxins (that is how they kill the bugs) we have exploding neurological disease.  And now even that isn’t enough as nature again is reacting in equal and opposite ways to maintain equilibrium; you kill more pests and upset the balance; nature finds a way to make more or so that they  can’t be killed (because even the bugs serve a purpose in the circle of life).  It’s all about balance in our bodies, in nature, in the world.  I can accept a few bug holes, I can grow and make most of my own food.  It is worth while to do those things when considering the alternatives.   I’m not advocating throwing it all out, just balancing it, be sure you’re getting enough of the raw and good stuff your body NEEDS TO FUNCTION, otherwise you can be guaranteed to get disease.  You ‘pay’ now and feel more vigorous alive and strong or you pay later and get disease.  Really there is no other alternative that will work.  So you could say this is the grand reawakening to our own stupidity (there are things that should NOT change – eating “real” food).  We want what we want because it feels good, tastes good or because of the effects of marketing, thanks to Edward Bernays; creating a feeling of need; when there is actually none.</p>
<p><strong>So by ignoring our TRUE needs (self financial security, good health, healthy relationships) we are constantly running after the things the establishment media tells us we ‘need’ to be happy</strong>- going deeply into debt to do so (enslaved by the bankers) and becoming progressively weaker in our relationships because we have to work more hours to pay the debts and lose precious time with friends, neighbors and loved ones. And become progressively weaker in health (dependence on convenience foods since are tired when get home, no time to get local foods at farm market, taking pick me ups etc.).  This relationship piece is why the Amish refuse to “plug in”.  If it takes a community to do something, they stay together and connected, relationships are maintained and strengthened.  If one man can do it alone we can become isolated and “me” focused, even forget about our neighbors until they do something we don’t like.</p>
<p>“You take the blue pill, the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill, you stay in wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes.”<br />
–<em>The Matrix</em></p>
<p>So take the red pill and see what it’s really like to live free, even if only in your mind for now.  Gradually unplug from the establishment (except in true need and emergencies.).  It takes work, and personal responsibility but well worth the effort to be again in another way more self sufficient.  You can also find among yourselves massage therapists, Osteopathic doctors (who do osteopathic manipulative medicine), chiropractors, nutrition therapists, homeopaths, oriental medicine practitioners, and other healers who can help with your journey<strong>, its about other choices first and the most risky ones taken last and only if absolutely necessary (true informed choice; balancing good and bad effects) with having the most extreme on the bad effects being the last resort</strong> (modern suppressive drugs).</p>
<p>In my next installment I’ll discuss a homeopathic experience.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Current Medical care or <strong>Allopathy</strong> (meaning ‘other suffering’ or cured with opposites) has had quite a history.  For example in the 1800’s common therapies included blood letting (letting the disease matter (blood) spill out by cutting a person and allowing them to bleed), and using purgatives (laxatives that create massive fluid loss (diarrhea) and emetics that stimulate vomiting or throwing up.  Medical care often made the person worse than they were prior to the physicians help from these therapies.  In the early 1800’s <strong>Dr. Samuel Hahnemann</strong> was a prominent medical doctor and chemist in Germany.  He was an avid observer and <strong>did not find that the prescriptions for disease made any sense, they were randomly used with no real supporting reasons and he noted that they often made a person sicker and even hastened death</strong>.  As a result he abstained from practicing his art, even though he became poor as a result, he couldn’t in good conscience perform these treatments on people.  He continued to translate many medical texts into German, until he connected the idea from the father of medicine, Hippocrates “like cures like” to the reason that quinine (Peruvian bark) cured malaria.  A colleague had written in a text that it cured malaria because it tasted bitter; he couldn’t accept that reason so he took it himself and found that it caused in him the very symptoms it cured.  This began a long journey in perfecting this science and art of like cures like by experimentation; this became that healing art we now call <strong>Homeopathy </strong>(meaning ‘similar suffering’ or cured with similars).</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Although helpful in knowing, selecting the right homeopathic remedy doesn’t depend on what a persons diagnosis is, or the infectious cause, or even if any tissue changes have happened yet </strong>(“nothing wrong with you” diagnosis).  You only need to identify the person’s symptoms clearly and find the medicine that causes these same symptoms in a healthy person.  The medicines can also completely prevent tissue changes from occurring if healing progresses following Dr. Herring’s laws of cure (later described) and the causes of these illnesses are addressed.  Homeopathy isn’t magic, and it cannot change physical deformities, but it does much good in early stages of disease and even in some cases of late disease.  Homeopaths do not practice medicine (prescribe drugs or do surgery); they do not cure diseases.  They seek to heal entire persons.  For our discussion today we will say, there is only one disease in a person at a time from a homeopath’s perspective; one disease that in the collection of all their symptoms matches only one medicine.  This is considered “classical homeopathy” and is what I use.  Dr. Hahnemann also identified chronic/inherited disease states (miasms) that should also be addressed in chronic cases, but this is a more advanced topic and usually managed by skilled homeopaths.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>So this means that <strong>it does not matter what the infection or problem may be caused by (genetically modified, antibiotic resistant, bio-weapon etc) the treatment for the sets of symptom are the same.</strong>  As long as the person has a strong enough vitality, a cure can be brought about by the right remedy.  That is why early on when homeopathy was so successful in the cholera, scarlet fever, smallpox etc. epidemics, its popularity grew in Europe, and earlier in the 20<sup>th</sup> century during the cholera epidemics in our own country.  <strong>This fact alone gives us the greatest hope for our survival in a bio-weapon era, or an epidemic or antibiotic-resistant bug situation</strong>.  <strong>It is in actuality, a person’s susceptibility to disease that is more important than the virility of the bug in question</strong>.  You strengthen the person who eradicates the microbe themselves.  Like other treatment modalities it doesn’t work for everyone; but the success rate in epidemics has been historically very high. For example “In 1849, the homeopaths of Cincinnati claimed that in over a thousand cases of cholera only 3% of the patients died [30].  To substantiate their results they even printed in a newspaper the names and addresses of patients who died or survived.  The death rate of Cholera patients who used conventional medicines generally ranged from 40 – 70 %)  [using purgatives etc at the time].  Statistics indicate that the death rates in homeopathic hospitals from these epidemics per 100 patients were often one half to as little as one eighth (20%) those in orthodox [allopathic] medical hospitals” [again prior to antibiotic use]” (Ref 5 p. 126 &#8211; 127).  Homeopathic remedies were commonly used in the early 1900’s as I’ve heard the remedies, especially Arnica, mentioned in the John Wayne movies.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Homeopathic physicians, who were trained in a medical college with MD’s as well as in homeopathic prescribing, expressed at professional gatherings their efforts and common results with skilled homeopathic care</strong> (the early 1900’s).  “All acute diseases, no matter how painful and malignant they may be, may be aborted or cured by homeopathy; typhoid and whooping cough within ten days; la grippe [influenza], acute bronchitis, pneumonia, remittent fever within a few hours; scarlet fever, diphtheria, intermittent fever [malaria], measles and smallpox within a few days; septic fevers within a few hours.”  What can be done for the insane?  Dr. James Tyler Kent, a prominent and skilled homeopath, responded “I could go through the insane asylums and take out about half of them and cure them, and if I could have reached them at the time they were incarcerated I could have cured practically all of them excepting those cases due to imbecility, tumours, and epilepsy.  It cannot cure all cases as in some there is not sufficient vitality that may be aroused to cure” (Ref  20). These strengths are what vaulted homeopathy’s popularity during these times.  Of course after years of suppressive therapy (allopathic medicine) our own current state of vitality is much lower than at the time noted above; people had much stronger ability to heal than we do now; so we are in for a greater challenge as a result.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Homeopathy is a very skilled art and is difficult to master; it takes more time and effort per a person to obtain the brilliant results of the great homeopaths</strong>.  Once antibiotics and modern drugs came on the scene and the decisions about which medicine to use were made more quickly (once a diagnosis was made), more people could be treated, and therefore more money could be made using modern drugs; so more physicians flocked to this form of treatment.  The influence of the American Medical Association and the threat of competition caused the forbidding of Medical Doctors to consult with or talk to a Homeopath under punishment of revoking their license to practice.  Medical college curriculums and licensure were forced to conform to the allopathic methodology or be shut down (via the Flexner report); despite the brilliant results homeopaths obtained from regular medical education; with an emphasis on homeopathic prescribing rather than modern drug prescribing.  The University of Michigan was a thriving homeopathic medical college at one time prior to this and still has an extensive homeopathic library.  But we see once again that we are sicker than we were, germs are more virulent and people are more susceptible to disease.  This tells us we are not addressing the source of the disease, but rather only addressing symptoms with our modern treatments.  As George Vithoulkas, a very successful and internationally known teacher of homeopathy, so eloquently stated “If our present system of therapeutics were truly curative, chronic diseases should have by now have declined or even been wiped out.”  (Ref 10, p 113) but instead of this pleasant reality we continue to suffer with quite the opposite.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>I had some recent experiences that bring home the detrimental fact that the manufacturers are hitting a wall with the economy</strong>.  They are being squeezed with increases in raw material prices and customers who can’t afford higher prices.  So they are getting pretty creative out there, even if a mite deceitful.</p>
<p><strong>First came the shrinking packages for the same prices; even to the extent that the face looked the same but the width was narrower.  Now they are mining for personal data and messing with your coupons. </strong> It has been long known to me that nothing is ever free.  Every “giveaway” and “drawing” (except parish picnics and the like) was to glean your personal information so you can be exposed to more advertising.  The concept of “selling your name” and the whole ridiculousness of the “privacy policy” laws are some of those things that irritate me.  Why are they ridiculous?  Because they really don’t stop what they do, they just have to tell you they do it and give you this long process in order to “opt out”.  Even the SAT is a scam.  They “choose colleges they wish to send their scores to” and next thing you know they are getting advertising from every college known to man, not just the ones they were interested in.  They are called by military recruiters and the like.  It’s their first big name sell off.  One of those tests I have done in the past is to change my name slightly (misspell) to see where they were getting the name from.</p>
<p>So my first recent experience was with Costco, one of my favorite stores.  They don’t advertise what is on sale on the floor always, but they did automatically give you the price discount if you knew what was on sale.  Recently an employee told me that the <strong>manufacturers are giving them the squeeze that they were giving out too many discounted prices, and were threatened to lose the discounts entirely.  So they had to get creative in limiting the number of sale priced items that left the store.</strong>  So now they require that you have the coupon book with you or the individual coupons, and in the future they will make it all via e-mail so if you don’t give them your e-mail address you will no longer know what their discounts are or have the coupons necessary to get the prices.  With your e-mail address and IP address that goes with it they can find out all sorts of things about you, based on your search and purchase activities on line.  And what of those who don’t have e-mail?  They are just left out entirely.  Welcome to the electronic world.</p>
<p><strong>Another store D &amp; W or Spartan stores recently told us we had to have their store card </strong>(like those cards that give 5% back to your school or church for your purchases)<strong> in order to get the advertised prices in the store</strong>.  So they are collecting purchase data on you in a forced manner, as well as linking you to your e-mail and IP address to glean a wealth of information about you again from your on-line activities.  Gotta love tracking devices.</p>
<p>This reminds me of the RFID technology.  I already won’t shop wal-mart and Target because they track your purchases that way.  They don’t have cards, they don’t even ask.  They just track you.  <a href="http://www.dailyfinance.com/2010/07/26/wal-marts-plan-to-use-smart-rfid-tags-sparking-privacy-concerns/">http://www.dailyfinance.com/2010/07/26/wal-marts-plan-to-use-smart-rfid-tags-sparking-privacy-concerns/</a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>This is just one more step to the National ID card and the RFID and record of every transaction you make;</strong> akin to the number of the beast.  You must have it for all transactions.  First they use “incentives” like discounts to get you to participate; then they get out the iron glove.</p>
<p><strong>Why do they even bother advertising specials then if they won’t give them out to anyone who shops in the store?  Why don’t they just be honest and say guess what we don’t have coupons anymore unless you let us sell your name because the economy stinks?  These deceits bother me.  They don’t do it because it would make people mad.</strong>  Like everything else in the public relations world they have to sell it as a good thing to get people on the hook and move the way they want them to move.  Most won’t even think twice, but now that my eyes are open I cannot.  I refuse to send my money there any more, no matter how much I spent there in the past.  They won’t get it anymore.  Personal data tracking may be useful to them, but it is evil to me.  It is one less liberty I have, one less layer of privacy that is being lifted every day, so that my whole life is exposed to anyone who wants to buy it.  That’s why I don’t get the “discount cards” no matter how much I’m told it helps my school etc.  That’s why I don’t do facebook or twitter or any social networking site, no matter the number of invites I get.</p>
<p><strong>Personally it just means I have a few less stores to buy from</strong>.  If it means I have to find the Amish trading post near me and only go once a month for all my shopping then that’s what Ill do, because if anyone will hold out to the very end with the number of the beast it will be them.  They stopped farming rather than participate in the animal registry; I have to give them a lot of credit for that.</p>
<p><strong>Resistance is not futile.  It is necessary</strong>.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Philosophical Foundations of the Elites Designs</strong></p>
<p>The elite tend to promote ideas and philosophies that allow for exploitation, profit (for them) and dependency (to allow for central control of masses).  This is why you see two diametrically opposed philosophies competing.  One that fosters independence, self determination and rights and responsibility (good for you) and one that fosters dependence, reliance on experts and the relinquishing of rights and responsibilities, often under the guise of “public good” or “personal good” (good for “them”).</p>
<p><strong>Philosophical differences</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<table style="width: 631px" border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td valign="top" width="211"> <strong>Keynes vs. Hayek</strong></td>
<td valign="top" width="420"><strong>Pasteur vs. Bechamp; Naessens; Rife etc.</strong></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td valign="top" width="211"><strong>Keynes</strong>:  Deficit spending, people must spend to support the economy; savings is discouraged. <strong>Dependency on credit and “safety net</strong>” since people do not have savings for own safety net. People overextend themselves creating debt slaves.  Booms and Busts.Spending more is the answer, even when can’t afford it.  <strong>Artificial growth</strong>.<strong>Works against the nature of free markets</strong> and creates artificial prosperity/growth that crashes into busts/recessions.  <strong>Improperly allocates capital</strong> to areas that are not helping the economy or to failing sectors/businesses where capital is swallowed up and lost.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>[Favored by elite]</td>
<td valign="top" width="420"><strong>Pasteur:</strong>  Germ theory of disease; infectious disease caused by germs outside of ourselves.  Create war on germs, cancer etc. need products/ experts and services to control or minimize exposure/ effects, but don’t address the true cause.[favored by elite].&nbsp;</p>
<p>We are on a constant hunt for the ‘bad guys’ who we will go out and hunt down (labwork), cut off (surgery), kill (antibiotics, anti-virals, chemotherapy, radiation etc,) or stop (anti-inflammatory, antihistamine etc.) whether it be bacteria, viruses, cancer cells or our own immune system.  There is always something to attack, always something to be stopped.  Never do we work with the body.  Never do we address the true cause.  <strong>It’s an outside enemy causing the problem.  We always address its effects and not its cause e.g. infections and tumors are an effect of a problem and not the cause.  </strong>Products work against nature (“anti” drugs) or unnaturally stimulate the immune system fooling it into creating antibodies, that are only temporary (requirements of boosters; cause disease itself).  They introduce foreign proteins and harmful chemicals directly into the body, potentiating problems.  People become dependent on antibiotics or other services to take care of illness.  <strong>Because we only address the effect and not the cause, relief is only temporary; thus creating ongoing need for treatment and repeat customers</strong>.  Treatments change all the time as new science identifies new targets and new treatments.  Nature then overcomes science e.g. antibiotic resistance.  The cycle repeats.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td valign="top" width="211"><strong>Hayek</strong>:  Encourages savings and the acquisition of real capital to build business; self reliance; no need for debt.  Slow, but real growth.

<td valign="top" width="420">“Nothing is the prey of death: all things are the prey of life”. – <strong>Antoine Bechamp</strong><strong>The terrain is everything</strong>.  Your body can only become diseased if it has the terrain (environment) to sustain it (deficient of digestive enzymes, acidic [ph of saliva and urine indicates this], low oxygen state).  Exposure is not what exclusively causes disease (hence some people never get sick), but rather a person’s susceptibility.“Ultramicroscopic sub-cellular living and reproducing entities” (3, 11,10) in our bodies help us, Bechamp calls them mycrozymas, Naessens calls them somatids.  As the body becomes more acidic, the dead matter created provides what is needed for the entities to change from helping and building to decomposing and breaking down tissue/dead matter (somatid cycle).  The more acidity and dead matter, the more the transformation takes place.  So the source of infection does not primarily come from the outside, but is generated from the inside. The entities can change into different types of organisms (pleomorphism) and are indestructible (extreme heat, freezing, etc.) in their base form (somatid/microzyma).  If treated with antibiotics they will revert from destroyed microbes to microzyma and may again become microbes if the environment supports that change.  Hence the birth of chronic infections, and support for the fact that if the terrain is not changed the infection will not go away permanently with any outside “anti” treatment. <strong>The body is therefore in a fluxing process of building up and decomposing, so when the body dies for good all that is needed to decompose it is within the live tissue throughout life.  This process creates chronic disease when the terrain remains poor</strong>.  <strong>Improvement of the terrain reverses this process </strong>and the entities again support healing and rebuilding of tissues and can even reverse disease.</p>
<p>Natural healing modalities work with nature and recognize the wisdom of the body.  They depend on personal responsibility and changing lifestyles to support true health<strong>.  The laws of the body do not change</strong> and therefore the approach needs little adjustment.  New medicines or treatments may be identified, <strong>but their effects can only be helpful and long lasting if it improves or helps to maintain a healthy terrain</strong>.  Nutrition, toxin cleansing and rejuvenation of the existing state of the body allow the body to fix itself.</p>
<p>Bio-magnets and somatid therapy increase cellular vitality in a measurable way.  Live blood analysis of the somatids in their initial state vs after treatment can indicate levels of health since the somatid shape and state within the cycle determines the degree of disease present, and vis a vis degree of cellular health.  This can be seen with the somatoscope or similar  microscope.  Naessens microscope can see live objects at greater magnification than the electron microscope, which can only see dead things.  It defies the laws of optics, yet instead of celebration, because of his revolutionary findings he’s been scorned and attacked [hence “Galileo of the microscope”].  (3, 34).</p>
<p>Bio cellular electrical analysis can specify if cellular health is static, progressing or regressing by measuring parallel capacitance with Bioelectrical impedance analysis machines. (38, 39).  The article “the electron theory of life” by Dr. Tom Levy supports Bechamp in that good food causes conditions where electrons are donated and used to maintain electrical flow and good health.  When Oxidized molecules from poor diet predominate the net results are toxic damage.  It would seem that this theory of life also allows for a parallel between the somatid and the properties of energy found in physics “it is never consumed or destroyed.  Instead it is stored in different forms and can essentially relocate in (or transform into) any of a number of different molecules (or microbes)” (38).</p>
<p><strong>Physics and biology are more intimately linked than we currently believe or will accept and physics is a much better healer than using chemistry</strong>.  Physics principles apply to many effective therapies (homeopathy and resonance, bio-magnetic therapies and electron flow). The most important thing being consistent, reliable, observable and positive responses to therapy when used appropriately and within their scope of effectiveness.  We cannot deny the effects when using inductive reasoning unless we refuse to see them.  The key is to understand how they are correctly used to obtain the greatest benefit.</p>
<p>I do believe that the future of medicine is in physics.  After all matter is energy.  Human tissue is matter.  Biochemistry catalogues observations of bodily functions, but not the causes of changes.  Chemically manipulating natural processes in order to direct the body to a desired result has been rife with unintended consequences, because human biology is much more complex than science will admit.  Physics principles of resonance, electricity and biomagnetism improve the whole person and the whole person fixes the problem.  Treat with general strengthening let the intelligent system deal with the details (unless you are in a state of emergency).  This is holistic medicine.</p>
<p>Nutrition and diet changes can cause a  healing crisis and will help overall improvement in energy and health (1).  Detoxification removes toxic chemicals and influences to relieve the immune system from its diversion away from terrain maintenance and repair (24); Supplements provide added nutrition, minerals, antioxidants and sometimes herbs to aid in detoxification and improve organ function.  70% of the immune system is in the gut; so gut (intestine) function and organs of elimination such as kidneys, liver are of primary importance.  It’s about giving the body all it needs to fix itself; it knows best what to do.  It was designed that way.  If the body needs help in moving healing forward, giving a homeopathic remedy resonating with the entire symptom picture, the body is already exhibiting, can get the body moving more earnestly in the direction it wants to go (like cures like).  Even the most deadly diseases have been thrown off by strong constitutions.  Your best defense is a good offense. .</td>

<p><strong> It is illogical to believe there is only one way to do things effectively, and that burying good ideas will keep them from taking root.</strong>  It may limit their popularity in the now, but “nothing can stop an idea whose time has come” (Victor Hugo).  Once people recognize the current program is not working, they will seek other answers. If they realize other solutions are out there and have the courage to walk the road less traveled (for now).</p>
<p><strong>It is illogical to believe that something doesn’t exist simply because we don’t want it to; because it changes our reality and our way of life.  </strong>Or that<strong> </strong>using fraudulent science and bought and paid for scientific “experts” will lend credibility to deception forever.  Natural laws find a way to express themselves, whether you want them to or not, because they are in fact laws and are part of our world; which you may temporarily defy, but gravity will win out in the end.  If people are honest about observing their surroundings the truth will resonate with them.</p>
<p><strong>It is illogical to believe that working against nature with “anti” drugs, chemicals and pesticides won’t create imbalance in nature’s intelligent systems</strong>.</p>
<p><strong>It is illogical to believe that the intelligent systems of this world will not attempt to rebalance themselves in a way that will be greater than the original “problem”.  They will compensate for the strong chemical effects; to the point where the problem is worse than it was originally – (Strong action demands strong equal and opposite reaction)-</strong> (e.g. antibiotic resistance; pesticide resistance; “super bugs”).  There is a purpose to everything created.  If we strategically kill or stop a natural process another must take its place.  Working within natural systems, and recognizing her wisdom, is the only fruitful way to attain balance.  Man cannot conquer nature, no matter his arrogance to do so.</p>
<p><strong>It is illogical to view the present state of health degradation within humanity and declare that the chronic disease treatment paradigm we are using is working</strong>.  Or that drugs and surgery are the best answer we can offer humanity to all disease.  Or that our current ideology of disease could be correct if in fact since its singular use, the decline of health has accelerated dramatically.</p>
<p><strong>It is illogical to believe that you can cover lies, fraud and theft forever</strong>.  The truth will come out eventually and when it does the house of cards will fall.  If an intelligent renaissance of ideas has occurred prior to the fall, and those effective ideas are allowed to root and take hold, prosperity can return all the greater.</p>
