On a portrait of this Beautiful day,
the icy glass windows
of our eyes
are many, many miles away
from our dreams
in the skies.
When
we are far from
Hope,
and live on the deserted shores
of what we think
is reality,
in the depths of our sorrow
we need but look
into the precious Word of God –
to see Tomorrow.
Hope
resides within our God given
collective ability
to create the Future.
Today,
Worldwide,
the average life expectancy was 71.5 years
(68 years and 4 months for males –
72 years and 8 months for females)
over the period 2010–2015
according to United Nations
World Population Prospects 2015 Revision,
and about 78 years in the United States.
This was not always true.
It is deeply saddening to realize,
but during most of recorded History,
any Human Being who reached the mid-thirties
erroneously thought he had beaten the system.
Over the past century
we gained a World wide average of 30 years,
about 25 of which are attributed to
improvements in public health.
Countries by Average Life Expectancy From the World Health Organization (2015)
Precious words of Hope
and inspiration
are conveyed to us
in the Word of God.
In the Old Testament
we see the Life span of Human Beings
reaching great ages.
Many lived over 900 years.
The Bible tells us that:
Adam lived 930 years. (Genesis 5:5)
Seth lived 912 years.(Genesis 5:8)
Methuselah lived 969 years.(Genesis 5:27)
And Noah lived 950 years,
to mention a few.
“And all the days of Methuselah
were nine hundred sixty and nine years:
and he died.”
– Genesis 5:27
Following the Great Flood,
lifespans rarely exceeded
100 years.
This event is pivotal
in changing Life expectancy
on this planet.
Before the flood, the Bible says
that there was a vapor canopy
around the entire World.
The Lifespan was much longer.
There are over 270 flood stories
from every culture around the World.
The vapor/ice canopy that surround the earth was a protection,
increased atmospheric pressure,
which is found in amber samples
found to have been an oxygen concentration of 51%,
where today we have 21%.
This explains why people and everything lived longer.
It was after the flood that God said
he would shorten man’s days
upon the Earth.
This great flood may have also
contaminated the Earth
in a horrible way,
which contributed to the loss
of so very much
precious Time
on this Earth.
When it comes to Living, the Sky is NOT the limit.
My Dear Friends,
God also revealed
the Truth
of our potential to Live
much, much longer,
perhaps
Forever.
According to Scripture
God designed His Children, Human Beings,
to live Eternally
in deep relationship with Him.
Yes,
when it came to Mankind,
God’s involvement was
direct and intimate.
“I think it’s reasonable
to suppose that one could oscillate
between being biologically 20 and biologically 25
indefinitely.”

Hang in There:
The 25-Year Wait for Immortality
Aubrey De Grey
is a Cambridge University researcher
and heads the
Strategies for Engineered Negligible Senescence (SENS) project,
in which he has defined seven causes of aging,
all of which he thinks CAN be dealt with.
(Senescence is scientific jargon for aging.)
De Grey also runs the Methuselah (sound familiar?)
Mouse prize
for breakthroughs in extended aging in mice.
The purse of the M Prize, as it is called,
recently grew beyond $1 million.
“I want one moment in time,
When I’m more than I thought I could be,
When all of my dreams are a heartbeat away,
And the answers are all up to me.
Give me one moment in time,
When I’m racing with destiny.
Then in that one moment of time,
I will feel,
I will feel
Eternity.
– Albert Hammond
LiveScience spoke with de Gray
about his idea of living longer, and perhaps forever:
It’s not really a matter of living forever,
it’s just a matter of not wanting to die.
One doesn’t live forever all in one go,
one lives forever one year at a time.
It’s just a case of
“Well,
Life seems to be fun,
and I don’t see any prospect of it ceasing to be fun
unless I get frail and miserable and start declining.”
So if I can avoid declining,
I’ll stay with it really.
What would you do
if you could live substantially longer?
They say variety is the spice of Life,
so I don’t think I would do the same things every day.
I’d like to be able to spend more time reading,
and listen to music, and all that sort of thing,
things that I never get to do at all
at the moment.
You think this project
is going to succeed in your lifetime?
I think it’s got a respectable chance.
I’m definitely not relying on it.
My main motivation comes from the thought
of how many lives will be saved.
Your strategy would involve
not only preventing aging,
but reversing it as well.
.
Does that mean people will get to choose
what age they want to remain?
Absolutely.
“May God bless and keep you always
May your wishes all come true
May you always do for others
And let others do for you.
May you build a ladder to the Stars
And climb on every rung
May you stay forever young.”
– Bob Dylan

Startling Things You Never Suspected
Could Cause Cancer (but they do)
by Danica Collins
Most laundry detergents (The 1,4-dioxane found in laundry detergent is particularly harmful in the fact that the chemical binds easily to water and remains there. Even after water containing the chemical has been purified and filtered, low levels have been detected, indicating that it is not easily removed from water.
I’m done with the nap and the Sun!
Numerous water supplies across the country have been found to be tainted with 1,4-dioxane. Try PENTA water (my favorite). Expensive? Well, a little pricey. But CHEAP compared to a stay in the hospital. And not painful at all. In fact, the company advertises that it “gives you a feeling of well being”. I found this to be true. Place it in the refrigerator and get it cold. Then drink a full bottle when you get up in the morning. Yes, you will have a feeling of well being. This good clean water, with a great taste, makes me float around the house for a long time. It’s not just an advertising line, it is true. Our fragile human bodies react beautifully to the good things, and the things that are good for you in Life.
20 different laundry detergents from both conventional and “natural” brands were evaluated in one study. Evoxa, an independent, third-party laboratory that is highly respected for its rigorous methods and high standards, conducted all product testing. The results are as follows:
Conventional brands:
1. Tide (P&G) – 55 parts per million (ppm) Gulp!
2. Ivory Snow Gentle (P&G) – 31 ppm
3. Tide Free (P&G) – 29 ppm
4. Purex (Dial Corp.) – 25 ppm
5. Gain 2X Ultra (P&G) – 21 ppm
6. Cheer BrightClean Detergent (P&G) – 20 ppm
7. Era 2X Ultra (P&G) – 14 ppm
8. Arm & Hammer (Church & Dwight Co.) – 5.0 ppm
9. Wisk 2X Ultra (Sun Products Corp.) – 3.9 ppm
10. Woolite Complete Detergent (Reckitt Benckiser) – 1.3 ppm
11. All laundry detergent (Unilever) – 0.6 ppm
12. Dreft powdered detergent (P&G) – non-detectable (ND)
13. Sun Burst (Sun Products Corp.) – ND
“Natural” brands:
1. Planet Ultra Liquid detergent – 6.1 ppm
2. Mrs. Meyers laundry detergent – 1.5 ppm
3. Clorox Green Works Natural detergent – ND
4. Ecos laundry detergent (Earth Friendly Products) – ND This is the product my family uses.
5. Life Tree Laundry Liquid – ND
6. Method Squeaky Green laundry detergent – ND
7. Seventh Generation Free & Clear laundry detergent – ND
Now, what do I do? This reminds me of the time when, in 1984, I finally realized that smoking tobacco was going to kill me and death would come in a very painful and miserable way. Yes, I left the good Doctor’s office, and thought about what he said: “Bill, remember, ALL SMOKERS QUIT!”. I toddled home and THREW AWAY all tobacco products, including my beloved briar wood pipe.
Yes, throw all the dangerous products away. TODAY. The very best investment you can possibly make is in the health and safety of your children and yourself. If you hesitate, it could be the costliest moment in your life or the life of your child.
Dr. A’s office. Don’t fight it, take delight in it!
Commercial hair dyes
[Editors Note: (Companies in general whose products were found to be free of cancer causing 1,4-Dioxane include: Dr. Bronner’s, Aubrey Organics (my favorite), Burt’s Bees, Desert Essence, Dr. Hauschka, EO, TerrEssential, Zia Fresh, and Avalon Organics.] read more
Other Startling Things You Never Suspected
Could Cause Cancer:
Granite countertops (which emit radon)
High doses of Vitamin E
Repressed anger (Yes, let it all out, but not on each other! A good pillow fight helps. The loser can clean up the feathers.)
Rancid peanuts and seeds
Canola oil
Chronic inflammation
Canned tomatoes (Yes, the can is the problem)
Food laced with pesticides (Simple solution: buy ORGANIC!)
Vitamin D deficiency in the body (Simple solution: get out of the house. Go outside and enjoy God’s beautiful gift of sunshine. Did you know the further away from the equator you go, the higher the level of vitamin d deficiency diseases such as multiple sclerosis, Dementia (Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form of dementia), Prostate cancer, Schizophrenia, and Heart disease. Symptoms of deficiency include pain, muscle weakness, increased blood pressure, and depression. read more
Vitamin D is known as the sunshine vitamin because the body naturally produces it when the skin is directly exposed to sunlight. You can also get the necessary daily amount through your diet or supplements. Vitamin D-rich foods include milk, cheese, and fatty fish like tuna, salmon, and mackerel. Certain foods such as cereals, orange juice, soy products, yogurt, and margarine are sometimes fortified with vitamin D.
The National Institutes of Health recommends that most adults get about 600 IUs (International Units) of vitamin D daily.
Hey, get your kids and yourself out of the house and into the sunshine a good 30 minutes each day. This will prevent vitamin D deficiency diseases.

Some people die from complications caused by conventional cancer therapy not cancer that kills them. More often than not, conventional cancer therapies have been shown to be more dangerous than the disease – that they cause more harm than good.
So what exactly happens when someone is reported as having “died of cancer?” It means that someone’s immune system has been severely weakened that it was rendered powerless against pathogens, viruses and disease microorganisms.
When your immune system is working correctly, it’s almost impossible to get sick … or to succumb to cancer.
It’s rarely the presence of cancer cells or tumors that kill a patient. Cancer cells come and go. Every human being has cancer cells existing in the body at any given time – but those cells usually don’t multiply into the full-blown disease … unless the body’s immune system is compromised.
