The little-known nutrient that turns cancer cells back into healthy cells
Recent research suggests that a little-known phytochemical – called apigenin – is a powerful anti-cancer agent. In fact, it can actually transform cancer cells back into healthy cells.
Let me explain…
Your body is protected by a protein called p53 that’s a natural tumor suppressor. Unfortunately, p53 can’t stop cancer on its own. But that’s where apigenin comes in.
In Dr. Fred Pescatore’s Essential Cancer Protocol, he explains that apigenin is able to activate p53. And he adds, “This lowers cancer cells’ resistance to chemotherapy and improves responses to treatment.”
But apigenin fights cancer in another important way…
Dr. Pescatore cites a study that shows how apigenin blocks vascular endothelial growth factor. This prohibits angiogenesis – a technical term for the new blood vessels that tumors grow to feed themselves.
“In other words,” Dr. Pescatore says, “apigenin starves malignant tumors, stopping cancer development.”And there’s even more research to back-up apigenin’s cancer-fighting abilities.
Turning cancer cells back into normal cells
According to another breakthrough study cited by Dr. Pescatore, apigenin restores a normal life cycle to cancer cells – literally, turning cancer cells back into normal cells.
He says, “This gives malignant cells a different set of ‘instructions’ that makes them vulnerable to programmed cell death, when they otherwise wouldn’t be.”
In all these ways, apigenin helps to prevent and treat cancer. But it’s also been shown to reduce the likelihood of cancer recurrence.
Dr. Pescatore cites a study that observed 29 patients who underwent surgery for colon cancer. Of the study group, 15 took a 20 mg apigenin supplement and 14 took a placebo. Four years later, three participants in the placebo group had a recurrence of their cancer, but everyone in the apigenin group remained in remission!
It’s no wonder why Dr. Pescatore calls apigenin “an uncommonly powerful anticancer agent.”
So how can you increase your apigenin levels? Well, it all starts with your diet.
Turn dinnertime into a cancer-defeating, apigenin powerhouse
If you enjoy chamomile tea, indulge all you like because chamomile is a rich source of apigenin. In fact, Dr. Pescatore believes that this tea’s famous calming effect is almost certainly due to its apigenin content.
Meanwhile, be sure to load your grocery cart will plenty of these foods and spices that are also excellent sources of apigenin:
Basil
Beans
Broccoli
Celery
Endive
Leeks
Onions
Oregano
Parsley
Red peppers
Rosemary
Thyme
Tomatoes
As for supplementing with apigenin, Dr. Pescatore has this recommendation: “Swanson currently offers a single-ingredient apigenin product derived from grapefruit. But an alternative is a chamomile extractstandardized for apigenin.”
Dr. Pescatore notes that you can simply follow the dosage recommendation on the products’ labels.
Apigenin is just one of many powerful, natural cancer-fighters that Dr. Pescatore features in his Essential Cancer Protocol.

Scientists create ‘slits in time‘ in mind-bending physics experiment
Researchers replicated the classic double slit experiment using lasers, but their slits are in time not space.
A new diffracton study sends lasers through ‘slits in time’ in a novel take on the classic double slit experiment.(Image credit: Thomas Angus, Imperial College London)
In a first, scientists have shown that they can send light through “slits” in time.
The new experiment is a twist on a 220-year-old demonstration, in which light shines through two slits in a screen to create a unique diffraction pattern across space, where the peaks and troughs of the light wave add up or cancel out. In the new experiment, researchers created a similar pattern in time, essentially changing the color of an ultrabrief laser pulse.
The findings pave the way for advances in analog computers that manipulate data imprinted on beams of light instead of digital bits – it might even make such computers “learn” from the data. They also deepen our understanding of the fundamental nature of light and its interactions with materials.
For the new study, described in the journal Nature Physics (opens in new tab), the researchers used indium tin oxide (ITO), the material found in most phone screens. Scientists already knew ITO could change from transparent to reflective in response to light, but the researchers found it occurs much faster than previously thought, in less than 10 femtoseconds (10 millionths of a billionth of a second).
“This was a very big surprise and at the beginning it was something that we couldn’t explain,” study lead author Riccardo Sapienza, a physicist at the Imperial College London, told Live Science. Eventually, the researchers figured out why the reaction happened so fast by scrutinizing the theory of how the electrons in ITO respond to incident light. “But it took us a long time to understand it.“
Time swapping in for space
English scientist Thomas Young first demonstrated light’s wave-like nature using the now classic “double-slit” experiment in 1801. As light shines on a screen with two slits, the waves change direction, so that waves fanning out from one slit overlap with the waves coming through the other. The peaks and troughs of these waves either add up or cancel out, creating bright and dark fringes, called an interference pattern.
In the new study, Sapienza and colleagues recreated such an interference pattern in time by shining a “pump” laser pulse at a screen coated in ITO. While the ITO was initially transparent, the light from the laser changed the properties of the electrons within the material so that the ITO reflected light like a mirror. A subsequent “probe” laser beam hitting the ITO screen would then see this temporary change in optical properties as a slit in time just a few hundred femtoseconds long. Using a second pump laser pulse made the material behave as if it had two slits in time, an analog of light passing through spatial double slits.
Whereas passing through conventional spatial slits causes light to change direction and fan out, as the light passed through these twin “time slits,” it changed in frequency, which is inversely related to its wavelength. It is the wavelength of visible light that determines its color.
In the new experiment, the interference pattern showed up as fringes, or additional peaks in the frequency spectra, which are graphs of the measured light intensity at different frequencies. Just like altering the distance between spatial slits changes the resulting interference pattern, the lag between the time slits dictates the spacing of the interference fringes in the frequency spectra. And the number of fringes in these interference patterns that are visible before their amplitude decreases to the level of background noise reveals how quickly the ITO properties are changing; materials with slower responses yield fewer detectable interference fringes.
This isn’t the first time that scientists have figured out how to manipulate light across time, rather than space. For instance, scientists at Google say their quantum computer “Sycamore” created a time crystal, a new phase of matter that changes periodically in time, as opposed to atoms being arranged in a periodic pattern across space.
Andrea Alù, a physicist at The City University of New York who was not involved with these experiments but has done separate experiments that created reflections of light in time, described it as yet another“neat demonstration” of how time and space can be interchangeable.
“The most remarkable aspect of the experiment is that it demonstrates how we can switch the permittivity [which defines how much a material transmits or reflects light] of this material (ITO) very fast, and by a significant amount,” Alù told Live Science via email. “This confirms that this material can be an ideal candidate for the demonstration of time reflections and time crystals.“
The researchers hope to use these phenomena to create metamaterials, or structures designed to alter the path of light in specific and often sophisticated ways.
So far these metamaterials have been static, meaning changing how the metamaterial affects light’s path requires using a whole new metamaterial structure — a new analog computer for each different type of calculation, for instance, Sapienza said.
“Now we have a material we can reconfigure, which means we can use it for more than one purpose,” said Sapienza. He added that such technology could enable neuromorphic computing that mimics the brain.

Seriously Great Ways to Have Fun and Feel Like a Kid Again
Childhood was a Glorious Time.
It was a time when pocket money could be spent on sweets and toys, not rent and bills; when the only password you had to remember was “open sesame”; and nothing brought a Smile to your face quite like a new box of crayons did.
It was a time when bed sheets were superhero capes, sticks were wands, and socks were hand puppets.
And it was a Time when there was no such thing as ‘dreaming big’ because everything was possible and you weren’t afraid of climbing too high or jumping off swings because you believed you could fly.
Luckily, that innocent childlike wonder is not gone and there is no such thing as too old to play with bubbles or get excited about colorful sprinkles.
And there is no better time to forget about being an adult for a moment and discover the wonders of being a kid again. Here are 15 great ways to get in touch with your inner child.
Want to get in touch with your inner kid and win amazing prizes? Join A Paper Jet Challenge!
1. Bake something
Dark chocolate fudge merlot cupcakes, red velvet cheesecake, giant chocolate chip cookies, peanut butter and Nutella balls, raspberry rainbow cake – bake it all! Play some music, pop open a bottle, and don’t be afraid to get flour everywhere – half the fun of baking is getting a little messy.
And remember, you only live once, so lick the bowl!
You know what they say about there being no angry way to say “bubbles”. Well, that’s because bubbles are tiny balls of happiness that just make the world a better place. Buy some from your local store or take it to the next level and make your own.
3. Ride around the neighborhood
Dust off that old bicycle (even better if it has a basket and bell), lace up those old roller skates, unroll that kick scooter, or pull out that skateboard and go for a carefree ride around the neighborhood.
Instead of going out for dinner, host a games night and get everyone to bring over one of their favorite games. If you’re having a braai, make it a whole lot more exciting by bringing out paint bombs or water balloons* and challenging your friends to a battle. Games are a great way to reconnect with your inner child and add an extra dose of fun to your afternoon or evening plans.
* Not while experiencing a water shortage of course.
Yeah, you read that correctly. If there is one thing on this list that will get you from 30 to 13 within seconds, it is skipping. Next time you are walking down the street or anywhere really, try it out. And if you’re afraid of looking like a weirdo, find an empty street, field, or mountain path and give it a go.
Build sandcastles with towering turrets and deep trenches, go searching for seashells, fly a kite, snorkel, make a sand angel, and jump over the waves. And the sun is a great source of Vitamin D, which makes you happier, while the minerals in the ocean reduce stress and help detox the body.
Get some ice-cream, slip into your comfiest jammies, order a couple of pizzas, make margaritas, and spend the night watching old Disney films or trashy horror films with your favorite people. Extra points if you build a fort, indulge in a good ol’ game of truth or dare, have a pillow fight, or play Twister!
Nothing reawakens the sweet merriment of childhood quite like spending an afternoon shooting zombies, racing cars in Sega Rally, and trying to outrun ghosts in Pac-Man amongst the cheery jingles of the arcade. So, take that 50 bucks you would have spent on fries and get a bucket of tokens instead.
9. Make breakfast fun
Make flapjacks with animal faces made of fruit, trade in eggs on toast for sunshine toast instead, have a bowl of guilt-free Coco Pops or Fruit Loops, or go for the classic soldiers in boiled eggs. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, so don’t make it boring!
Hire a surfboard and learn to surf, join an art class and give finger painting a go, learn to play the guitar, sing in the shower, or buy a pair of outrageous socks and wear them to work! Life is too short to take it so seriously and stick to old routines. And who knows, you might find a new hobby that you really enjoy or make some great new friends.
Remember those afternoons singing at the top of your lungs into your hairbrush and dancing like a wild animal around the house while the family was out shopping? Us too. Good times.
You may not be the next Beyoncé or Enrique Iglesias, but that doesn’t mean you can’t turn up the volume and still have one helluva good time pretending.
Here are 10 great songs to tear it up to:
Whitney Houston – I Wanna Dance With Somebody
*NSYNC – Bye Bye Bye
Michael Jackson – Billie Jean
Joan Jett & The Blackhearts – I Love Rock And Roll
Cyndi Lauper – Girls Just Wanna Have Fun
Lou Bega – Mambo No. 5
Def Leppard – Pour Some Sugar On Me
Ini Kamoze – Here Comes the Hotstepper
Los Del Rio – Macarena
Kenny Loggins – Footloose
12. Go camping (an idea also from my friend Rev. Donald Graves)
Whether you rope in your family, gather a few friends, or just go with your partner, camping trips are a great opportunity to relive the glory days of childhood. Play card games, tell ghost stories around the fire, and braai marshmallows on sticks.
Find a candy store and spend some time filling a bag with Rascals, jelly beans, jujubes, glow worms, milk bottles, and all the sugary things you remember from childhood. And if you don’t like sweets, you can use them to bribe your kids to clean their rooms, give them to your younger siblings, or make everyone’s day a little brighter by handing out free sweets at the office!
Next time you’re at a party with helium balloons, embrace the silly kid inside by sucking the helium out of a balloon and singing “Happy Birthday” in a ridiculous leprechaun voice. You will destroy a balloon but it will certainly get you and everyone else laughing like little kids.
Finally, whether you go searching for starfish in rock pools, opt for the path less traveled on your favorite hiking trail, or take a spontaneous road trip across the country, be curious about new places, new people, and new experiences.
Curiosity is one of the great wonders of Childhood that is often lost as we get older and distracted by the stresses and responsibilities of life. Curiosity is what motivates us to go on new adventures and uncover magic where we never knew there was. We should hang onto it.
And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole World around you, because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don’t believe in magic will never find it. – Roald Dahl

NATURAL CANCER CURE
By Dr. Jerry Lee Hoover N.D. click here to read more Cancer is a uniquely western problem. One out of three Americans die of cancer, it used to be one out of four.
WHY? FAULTY DIET IS A MAJOR CAUSE In 1979 a special report was issued by the U.S. Surgeon General, citing more than 2,000 scientific studies from around the world, and compiled with the advice of more than 2,000 doctors, nutritionist and biochemists, who concluded that the normal American diet is dangerous. Of the 2.1 million Americans who died that year, the report said that 1.5 million died from diseases associated with diet. The report stressed that most people should reduce the consumption of fat, especially saturated fats, such as from eggs, butter, or untrimmed red meats.
Researchers at the University of Victoria in British Columbia did a careful follow up on 200 persons who underwent a “spontaneous remission of cancer”. They found that 87% of those persons had switched diets, usually to a vegetarian diet.
Recently a link between excessive meat eating and cancer has been explained by Dr. Williard J. Visek a research scientist at Cornell University. The problem, according to Dr. Visek, is ammonia the carcinogenic by-product of meat digestion.
Although cancer is increasing at an alarming rate and it can be prevented, by keeping our body’s immune system up. Much poisoning of the body has been caused by the use of improper foods, such as meat, dairy products, white sugar, white flour, white rice, along with the use of liquor, tobacco, coffee, soda and all other denatured foods. Good wholesome food builds good blood, where as unwholesome foods builds a poor quality of blood. Cancer will not develop where there is a pure blood stream and the body’s immune system is functioning at its optimum.
For years the National Cancer Institute held fast to the principal that diet had nothing to do with cancer. Recent overwhelming evidence has forced them to change their mind. They now even recommend that one consume certain fruits and vegetables in order to prevent cancer. “Fruits, such as oranges and bananas, and leafy green and yellow vegetables, including carrots and broccoli, all contain cancer preventing vitamins and fiber, and should be a part of everyone’s daily diet”, says the National Cancer Institute. To prevent and cure cancer we must keep our body’s immune system high. This is done by following eight simple rules that I will briefly cover here. Lots of fresh air, using lots of pure water, eating lots of wholesome natural foods, getting sufficient rest, moderate daily exercise, getting outside in the sun everyday, being temperate in all we eat and do and having faith in God.
Every one of us has cancer cells within us. Cancer has to be treated by building the body’s immune system then the body’s white blood cells, etc. will attack and destroy the cancer from within. Cancer cells are weaker than normal cells and will not get out of control if our immune system is high.
HOW DO WE FIGHT CANCER There is no one drug, herb, or treatment that will kill cancer. Cancer has to be treated by building the body’s immune system. Listed here are some natural ways to help build the immune system. ELIMINATE SUGAR AND JUNK FOODS Eating white sugar will paralyze and hinder your white blood cells from fighting off an infection. Eating 25 teaspoons of sugar will paralyze 92% of your white blood cells for approximately five hours. The average American eats over 42 teaspoons of sugar per day. For example: A banana split has 24 teaspoons of sugar. A 12 oz coke has approx. 8-10 teaspoons, a piece of white bread 2 teaspoons. It must be remembered that sugar or empty calories and junk foods interfere with the working of the body’s immune system. ELIMINATE HIGH FAT DIET Diets high in refined fats have long been associated with increased cancer risk. Breast cancer is more frequent in women on diets high in both saturated fats, (whole milk), and in animal fat. (2) A low fat diet not only prevents breast cancer but increases the survival of women who already have breast cancer. (3)
EAT A TOTALLY RAW DIET This is or will be the hardest single thing to follow, but it is very important. Only raw fruits, vegetables, nuts and sprouted grains are what you will be eating until your cancer is in remission. Nothing cooked, no cooked beans, bread, potatoes, etc. Sounds tough, but let me tell you this is much easier then taking chemotherapy and having your hair fall out, vomiting, being weak, etc. And , of course chemotherapy will not build up your immune system. Instead it will tear it down. Raw food is live food and possesses the highest nutritive value. It is full of vitamins, mineral, enzymes, phytochemicals, etc. Cooked food is deadfood, plant any seed and it will grow. Cook the seed and then plant it and it will not grow, because it’s life principle has been destroyed. Place cancer cells in a cooked media and they will proliferate. Now place the cancer cells in a raw matter and they will disappear!This astounding fact is known to the Cancer society, but the public was never informed. (4)
HERE ARE SOME RAW FOOD RECIPES
I have asked Mirko to put together some raw food recipes for those who need to be on a raw food diet. Here are just a few of his recipes.
Raw Foods Recipes can be Tasty and Delicious By Creator for Functional Food, Mirko Albrecht, Dipl.-qualified NC.
The base of preparation to “Functional Food” is very simple. A recipe must be tasty, but for me a recipe is more than that. Functional Food are recipes with some “healing” effects but tasty and delicious as well.
The possible benefits of natural Functional Food can be:
– Natural immune support to help fight cancer. – Stress-Relief, esp. chronic stress – Detoxification-support – Improve the liver function – Provide the body with vitamins, minerals, enzymes etc. – Supporting to natural acid-alkaline balance
Our world has many “Healthy Foods” we must just only discover them and with a bit of fantasy we can prepare delicious meals such as dips for vegetables or fruits sticks, sweet desserts.
Here are a few simple raw food recipes that one can try.
RAW SOUP
2 cups of water 2 or 3 tomatoes salt 1 onion 6 teaspoons parsley 2 to 4 teaspoons celery Bend all the ingredients together
ALMOND MILK
Soak raw unroasted almonds overnight in water Blend in the morning just before you use it. Ratio of almond to water depends upon how concentrated you like your almond milk.
SALAD DRESSING
1/4 avaocado 1/2 cup water salt 1 teaspoon fine chopped onion 4 to 6 teaspoons chopped parsley 1/2 fine chopped tomatoe Mix avocado, water, salt and parsley together then add fine chopped tomatoe and onion.
FRUIT SMOOTHIE
Put in blender fresh or frozen strawberries or fresh fruit of your choice 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla Raw Almond Milk Option (3 tablespoons of raw honey) Blend and enjoy
SPROUTING GRAINS OR SEEDS
You can get all the information on sprouting by going to http://www.google.com and write in sprouting foods.Sprouted foods are the freshest and most nutritious of all. They are full of enzymes, and a higher percentage of vitamins and minerals and they are raw.
WHEAT GRASS JUICE
Wheat Grass juice is the very best for cancer. You take some soil put it on a flat pan and plant wheat on it, keep it watered and in a few days you will have wheat grass. Then cut the grass put it in the blender with some water and blend it all up then strain it and drink it, it will be sweet. You can let the grass grow again and give it a second cutting, after that you need to start all over again with new wheat. Many people think you need to buy a special juicer which causes the juice to be to concentrated and hard to drink, all you need is a blender.
DO NOT EAT BETWEEN MEALS A Swedish study indicated the frequency of snack eating may be related to the risk of colon cancer.Earlier, largely ignored studies have suggested that each eating episode over the course of the day increases colon cancer risk. Regular meal intake did not seem to produce the same risk as did snack consumption. (Cancer Causes and Control3: 77-81,1992)
DRINK ONE TO THREE GLASSES OF CARROT JUICE DAILY Carrots are a very good source of Vitamin A, and the juice should be taken 15-30 minutes before your vegetable meal. A recent study done by Dr. Raymond J. Shamberger, Professor of the Dept. of Biochemistry, the Cleveland Clinic, Ohio, showed that Vitamin A is one of the most important aids
to the body’s defense system fighting and preventing cancer. When subjected to carcinogens, this vitamin has a remarkable ability to inhibit the introduction and or retard the growth of both malignant and non-malignant tumors.
DRINK PLENTY OF PURE SOFT WATER How much is plenty? It depends upon how much you weigh, you take your weight, divide it in half and that is how many ounces of water you need in a 24 hour period. Of course if you are working out in the hot sun and perspiring a lot you would need more. For example: you weigh 160 lbs. Half of that is 80 so you need 80 ounces, which would be 10 eight ounce glasses. The type of water we need to drink is soft water, that is water that has no minerals, as the minerals in water are inorganic and are harmful to our health. Where as the minerals in food are organic and our body needs this type of minerals. Two types of water that have no minerals are distilled water and reverse-osmosis water.
TAKE DAILY SUNBATHS Expose as much of the body to the sun. If you have a light complexion start with ten minutes and gradually increase it to a minimum of one hour a day. While sun bathing use no lotions, sunscreens (they can cause cancer), or oils. Do not wear glasses while sun bathing as it is important for the ultraviolet light to get into the eyes, and glass of any kind will keep the rays out. Interferon is effective against several different kinds of cancer including carcinoma, sarcoma and leukemia. This fact spurred the American Cancer Society; to purchase interferon from Finland for experimental use. Dr. Hans Strander of Finland discovered that he could give interferon to terminal bone cancer patients and double the number of long-term disease free survivors. White blood cells in our bodies manufacture this wonderful interferon that can help so dramatically in cancer.Sunlight is a great stimulus for increased white blood cell production and thereby increases the production of interferon.
BARE FEET ON THE SOIL EVERY DAY Everything on this earth has an electrical frequency, the earth, the seeds, the plants animals, and the human body. Cancer cells have a different electrical frequency than normal cells. Our bodies can easily get off the electrical frequency that they are supposed to be on. How can we get it back on track? Very simply, by standing or walking bare foot in the soil.Wearing shoes is not a natural thing, although we need to protect our feet, as shoes insulate our body from the earth so it would be good to spend at least 10 minutes a day outside barefoot in the soil.
GET PLENTY OF FRESH AIR Deep breathing of fresh outside negatively charged air, (the good kind), helps cleanse the lungs and increase circulation. Fresh air from the ocean, near a river or waterfall or after a rainstorm is not only negatively charged but is high in oxygen which is very beneficial for cancer. Be sure to have plenty of fresh air in your bedroom as you sleep, keep a window open, even in the winter the window should be partially open. A fact worth knowing is that cancer cells cannot live in the presence of oxygen. (6)
EXERCISE OUT OF DOORS Brisk Walking is a good form of exercise, but not jogging, as the impact of jogging is harmful to all the joints of the body. Bicycling and swimming are two other good exercises. Exercising in a gym is not ideal as there is no fresh air, its like exercising in a dirty shoe. One of my favorite authors stated that exercise outside in the fresh air and sunshine is ten times more beneficial then indoor exercise. I believe the best piece of exercise equipment one can use is a regular or mini trampoline. By jumping on a trampoline you are exercising everyone of the trillions of cells in your body. Use it from one to three times daily for a minimum of 3 minutes or longer each time. This exercise is especially good for anyone who has cancer of the lymphatic system.
GET 7-8 HOURS SLEEP EVERY NIGHT The earlier you go to bed the better. Every hour of sleep before midnight is worth two hours, every hour after midnight is worth one.
USE HERBS There are many herbs for cancer, but the one I highly recommend is Red Clover. You use only the flower, not the stem or roots.Red clover contains the following chemicals: biotin, choline, copper, coumarins, glycosides, inositol, magnesium, manganese, and selenium. It also contains vitamins: A, B1, B3, B5, B6, B9, B12, B17, C, P and the mineral Zinc. This is quite an assortment of minerals and vitamins for one herb. And possibly in the future we will discover it contains other important ingredients. Red Clover has been used in America for over 100 years to treat and prevent cancer. It is good for cancer on any part of the body. I have personally used it for many years at my clinic and have seen many individuals recover from cancer.
Use only the bulk red clover flowers, not the stem or roots, use no red clover capsules. Make a tea by bringing the water to a boil, removing from the heat and adding the herb. Let it steep for 20 minutes or longer. Use one to two teaspoons of herb per cup of tea. The best time to take the tea is at night before bed on an empty stomach. If you take it twice a day then also first thing in the morning when you first get up on an empty stomach.
You can order the herb Red Clover from Frontier Herbs on line at www.frontierherbs.com
Red Clover is now being studied for anti-aids and anti-diabetic activity. (7)
Many of you who have contacted me have mentioned that you were unable to purchase the herb Red Clover as it does not grow in your country. If that case I suggest you go to a reliable herbalist in your country and find out what herb he uses for cancer and use it. As there are many herbs for cancer as God in His wisdom made many different herbs for the many different countries He created.
INFORMATION FOR THOSE WHO HAVE BREAST CANCER When one has breast cancer they need to improve the circulation of the blood flowing through the breast. Two ways to do this is daily massaging the breasts and the other way is through hydro therapy. You fill two pans with water one with very hot water the other with very cold water containing ice cubes. You start by wringing out a wash cloth in the hot water and applying it to the breast and than covering it with a dry towel, leave it on the breast for 3 minutes. Than remove the wash cloth and apply a wash cloth that has been taken out of the ice water, apply it to the breast for only ONE minute and cover with a dry towel. You need to do this three times in a row. First hot than cold than hot than cold than hot than the last application is cold. What this does is that when you apply the hot water it draws the blood to the breast, when you apply the cold water it chases the blood from the breast. This is a very efficient way to improve the circulation in the breast, this improved circulation helps to carry away the toxins in the breast and will also start breaking down the cancer and carrying it away.
You should use no deodorants, as they are one of the causes of breast cancer, most breast cancers are located in the area of the breast near the armpit. Under your arm you have major lymph glands, and when you use deodorants, which contain aluminum and other toxic ingredients, they can enter the lymph system. The antiperspirant deodorants are the most harmful as they block the skin pores from sweating out the impurities in the body, so they are re absorbed into the body and breast area.
Also using any type of milk, eggs or dairy productsare another cause of breast cancer, as these are high in artificially added hormones that can increase cancer of the breast and female organs. Also birth control pills are another cause of cancer of the breast and female organs.
COLON CANCER Colon cancer is one of the most common cancers in the U.S. It is the third leading cause of cancer deathfor both men and women in the U.S. Health experts estimate that about 70% of colon cancers could be prevented by changes in diet and nutrition. People who regularly eat red meat and processed meat have a greater chance of developing colon cancer.
There is an inheritance risk of approx. 50% for both males and females. When a parent carries a genetic predisposition, each child has a 50% chance of inheriting the predisposition. If you have been diagnosed with colon cancer and someone in your immediate family has had colon cancer then my recommendation is for you to have the surgery to remove the cancer, since it is genetic and many times the body’s immune system will not try to destroy the cancer because the body believes it belongs there. But under no circumstances do I recommend chemo or radiation before or after the surgery. On the other hand if no one in your immediate family has had colon cancer then I would first follow the diet, etc. I recommend and see if it reduces and disappears.
LEARN TO DEAL WITH STRESS Almost everyone I have personally known, who has come down with cancer, has been under a lot of stress prior to getting cancer. We must learn to take the problems we cannot handle to God, (The Greatest Healer Of All Time). We cannot hold anger, hate, selfishness, etc. inside ourselves or we will not recover. The mind greatly affects the body. I believe that 90% of all sickness starts in the mind. King Solomon, the wisest man who ever lived said, “A merry heart doeth good like a medicine”, Proverbs 17:22
WHAT CANCER CAN’T DO It cannot cripple Love, It cannot shatter hope, It cannot corrode faith, It cannot eat away at peace, It cannot destroy confidence, It cannot kill friendship, It cannot shut out memories, It cannot silence courage, It cannot evade the soul. It cannot reduce eternal life,
IN CONCLUSION If a person who has cancer follows the simple things I have outlined in this article they will notice improvement within less then two weeks, the closer you follow this program the faster you will improve. JUST THINK, it is possible for you to heal yourself, you do not always need surgery or expensive dangerous drugs. All you need to do is follow what I have outlined here.

Life can become stunningly Beautiful, and touch the Soul. . There are many delicate layers of Love, not unlike layers of Colors in a Masterpiece of a Divinely Beautiful Sunrise or Sunset or Living Creation.
.We owe our Lord a debt of immeasurable proportions.
The NaturalColors of our surroundings are relaxing and rejuvenating for the whole body.
The amazing Artwork in Nature is Beautiful in every season. Everything is colorful and so soothing. . We become Truly inspired by Nature, Love and the Spirit.
Our Lord provides such a Beautiful, Soothing and Peaceful World. Open your Heart and enjoy the moment. This Time is for you.
The Beauty found in God’s Natural World is such a great way to transport yourself to this time, to this moment.
God’s Love is the Path upon which you Travel away from yourself, as you enter a World of Soft and Gentle Energy.
The Sacred Words of our Precious Lord, will be Engraved into the Conscious mind of your Heart, and guide you in the direction of a rewarding and positive Life every day. . Put aside all the things that happened in the past. . Forgive and return your Heart to Innocence and Peace.
Our Lord Speaks to the Peace in our Soul.
Every Leaf of every Tree, is from the Heart of One who Truly Loves you and me.
Such Love Blooms in copper green, and brownish gleam, and colors yellow and mellow, to the mind, to at last perish with the wind and be reborn again, in our Heart, in our Time.
.Life itself branches out in our Dreams, destined to the Stars as the Light of Life is bright and beams Love to every thing.
Thank you Dear Lord for your Precious Love.
Discovering how much you Love everyone and everything, has an amazing effect on Life and Living.
Like a tiny drop of Precious rain landing on a smooth surface of water, Love brings Beautiful waves of ever – enlarging rings, flowing across the surface of Time, and spreading out to Infinity.
I Pray that you find Joy in all that you do, and that you find your purpose, and your way, and why.
Your Love helps you become a better Person, and, helps the World to be a better Place.
Our Loving Thoughts for others are comforting and have Wings. . They fly in your Dreams, until they land in Life and form meaning, and find lost ones that God will Bless with your Life.
The older we get, the more memories we have. And our memories will blend softly into the air, and at times, fall with a rain of tears, and soak into the Sacred ground as they continue to Live.
They will drift into the Hearts of many others.
Memories Live long after, to Create new feelings of Joy and Happiness.
Loving acts, Create Loving memories.
Kindness is one of the Wonderful Gifts that enrich our Spiritual Life. There are times when we are immersed in the Melody of the Moment.
Our caring for others, makes our mind relax, gives us a sense of Peace and the desire to be the best we can.
And we can.
A Kind Thought is like a gentle Hug that soothes the mind and envelops the body, in Tranquility.
Each Act of Kindness is like a Caress, that transports us to a state of Inner Peace, a True Work of Art that invites relaxation and contemplation.
In our Quest to discover our own Innate Higher Intelligence, we are being called to see the Light within.
One of Creation’s wonders is so commonplace that we don’t notice it. Yet it’s more marvelous than all the others . . . Life. What mysterious quality makes a creature alive at one moment but is absent the instant the creature dies? What is this mystery of Life?
No matter how much scientists learn about the complexities of organisms, they have not touched the more difficult questions – what is Life itself, and where did it come from?
Latest Answers
Have you ever thought about what Life actually is? What mysterious quality makes a creature alive at one moment but is absent the instant the creature dies? A baby’s body, no longer breathing after it has just died, contains the same DNA, the same Heart and body, and the same mass as it did only moments earlier. So what is missing?
An entry in Wikipedia admits, “There is no Universal definition of Life; there are a variety of definitions proposed by different scientists.”
The latest Encyclopedia Britannica agrees. “Although the scientists, technicians, and others who participate in studies of Life easily distinguish living matter from inert or dead matter, none can give a completely inclusive, concise definition of Life itself.” Nevertheless, the encyclopedia’s online version attempts a clunky definition with lots of complex scientific terms:
A biochemical or molecular biological definition sees living organisms as systems that contain reproducible hereditary information coded in nucleic acid molecules and that metabolize by controlling the rate of chemical reactions using proteinaceous catalysts known as enzymes.
Such definitions don’t actually state what Life is, merely what we see in living things. For instance, the biologist and philosopher Harold J. Morowitz comments that living things have one thing in common – cells:“The only Life we know for certain is cellular.”
The teaching guidelines for British textbooks suggest that students ages 11 to 14 learn that life is anything that displays seven qualities, summarized in the cute mnemonic MRS. GREN. That is, living objects have Movement, Respiration, Sensitivity, Growth, Reproduction, Excretion, and Nutrition. These properties are typical of cellular life, but they still don’t say what Life actually is.
Advanced as computer technology may become, a living thing is still leaps beyond.
To help us understand the problem with defining Life, a cell can be compared to a powerful computer – a highly sophisticated system that stores and processes information. There is more to a working computer than its physical parts – it needs a designer, a programmer, and an engineer to build its parts. Then it needs a source of power and an operator to turn it on.
Advanced as computer technology may become, a living thing is still leaps beyond. Despite its complexity, the computer is not alive. Consider a house fly buzzing about an office on a blistering day. If the power shuts down, the computer “dies,” but it can be rebooted after the power is restored. Not so with the fly.
No Definition in Scripture
Plants Are Not Alive?
The Bible assigns “Life” to animals, not to plants. Plants are merely described as “green things” (Job 39:8). Most scientists would agree that any life in plants is of a different order than that in animals. If we saw a dead tree in a forest, we wouldn’t be repulsed – we might even sit on the stump! Most of us, however, would not consider sitting on a dead animal. Similarly, we are happy to place dead flowers in a vase, but most homes would not display dead mice.
While the Bible makes a big deal about the wonders of life, it never actually defines it. God introduced this special thing on Day Five of creation: “And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath Life”(Genesis 1:20, KJV).
The Hebrew word used for the quality of having Life is nephesh. Leviticus 17:11 shows us that this Life is related to having blood: “For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls; for it is the blood that makes atonement for the soul.”
The word nephesh is translated in this particular verse as Life, but also as Soul. Yet, although the Life is in the blood, this verse does not tell us what Life actually is.
The sort of Life described in the Bible is not physical. While Life clearly produces physical results that we can observe, that quality called “Life” is something intangible.
Life, by God’s Command
No matter how much scientists discover about the physical systems in organisms and their possible origin, they still have no clue about the infinitely more difficult question of where Life came from. If you could make a baby from scratch, with all its physical parts in place, you still would not have a living Human.
The Bible gives us the answer.
Life is a Gift fromGod, a Blessing from the Creator Himself. By God’s command, not physical accident, it is granted or removed.
“And [Job] said, Naked I came from my mother’s womb, and naked shall I return there; the Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord” (Job 1:21).
Even if we do not understand what Life is, all Humans can “see” it all around them. They also know in their Hearts that the Life-Giver makes all this Life possible. God uses even the mysteries of His creation to make Himself known!
“I Am . . . the Life”
In fact, Human Life encompasses more than the “Life” of animals. After Adam and Eve rebelled against their Creator, Humans forfeited their right to Life in this higher sense. While our bodies may be full of vigor and outward vitality, the Bible says we are dead. The world is one big Spiritual graveyard, with zombies that appear to be living but are missing another quality that is infinitely more significant than breath or physical mobility.
To restore this life – everlasting Life – the Life-giver Jesus Christ stepped into our world. The Creator made this Life available to all, but we find it in only one place: “He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life”(1 John 5:12).
God’s hand is at the switch, and He asks only that we look to Him in faith, trusting in the merits of His Son, who was the sacrifice for our sin, that we might obtain Life everlasting.
“He who believes in the Son has everlasting Life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see Life, but the wrath of God abides on him” (John 3:36).
Love is Life.
Knowledge is power and LIFE.

Ships don’t sink because of the water around them; ships sink because of the water that gets in them. Don’t let what’s happening around you get inside you and weigh you down.
Why are we here? . Through self-introspection and reflection, we can come to realize the most essential reason for our existence, is for us to grow in Love.
Many people enter our Lives and help us to grow in Life, and in our Love.
Life will be challenging, but over time we learn that the challenges guide us toward understanding.
Challenges allow us to gain strength through Learning and Wisdom, and come to the realization that through Forgiveness, we leave behind the pain and suffering, and embrace the Love within us. If we approach Life with Loving purpose, we will evolve to continuously reflect upon our Sacred Reality.
You know it when you feelit.
“Purpose” will become a Feeling that the things you do in Life are worthwhile. When you have a sense of purpose, you feel that you have made a good choice.
To Live a purposeful Life, is more than seeking achievement and pleasure. A Life of Lovingpurpose is a Life of meaning.
“The Soul which has no fixed purpose in Life is lost; to be everywhere, is to be nowhere.” – Michel de Montaigne
Those of us with a strong sense of purpose will Live longer, have healthier Hearts, and become resilient.
Heartfelt choices will make the biggest differences in the future. . When you are struggling to find what you want to do in Life, follow the uplifting Pathway of your Heart, not the dangerously deep canyons of the mind. As a society, and as very Human Beings, we would be far more constructive if we focused our Time on caring for and Loving one another.
As we play the roles we choose in Life, let us remember, we are here to grow and become the best version of ourselves.
By choosing a Loving Pathway to follow, we make this World a better place for everyone, including and especially ourselves.
One of the most Beautiful experiences you can ever have, is to feel so deeply Human, as you become aware of the Beauty that dwells deep within your Loving Heart. . This knowing, this feeling, makes you aware that Love is pure Beauty, and you are pure Love, Child of God. God’s Love shines brighter than Day. . His Love will surround you, as you Trust in Him. He is ever Present, in all Time of need and for Eternity.
He has the Desire to Touch your Soul.
Only Today is where your story begins. Embrace it, and welcome every moment in it.
You will feel Peaceful and Hopeful in your Healing embrace of Life. . Beauty is raining down on our troubled World, with the Sun peeking through the clouds, and Blessing us with a colorful Rainbow of Promise. My Dear Friend, the options in Life are endless. . You are not limited to one of anything. . Always remember, that there is Infinite spaciousness in Life. Our Horizons are broad, and the World is big. As the Universe touches your mind and invites you to be a part of it, remember, your problems are not as big as you feel them to be in relation to the Whole Universe. . It can be very comforting to fundamentally change your Philosophical thought processes on Life and Living. Your Dreams are revealing. . They inspire you to pursue what you Love, and fly above whatever comes between you and them. .. With a fulfilled Heart, overflowing with Love, you will come to know God has a Greater Purpose in Life, and He wants you to Fulfill it.
He allows us to experience Life, because He Loves us. . The Beauty of God’s Creations, especially us, is vast and overwhelming. . And Knowing we are one, is a Birthright of every Being Gifted with Life.

Goodnight.
Scientists Achieve Direct Counterfactual Quantum Communication For The First Time
Quantum communicationis a strange beast, but one of the weirdest proposed forms of it is called counterfactual communication – a type of quantum communication where no particles travel between two recipients.
Theoretical physicists have long proposed that such a form of communication would be possible, but now, for the first time, researchers have been able to experimentally achieve it – transferring a black and white bitmap image from one location to another without sending any physical particles.
If that sounds a little too out-there for you, don’t worry, this is quantum mechanics, after all. It’s meant to be complicated. But once you break it down, counterfactual quantum communication actually isn’t as bizarre as it sounds. First up, let’s talk about how this differs from regular quantum communication, also known asquantum teleportation, because isn’t that also a form of particle-less information transfer?
Well, not quite. Regular quantum teleportation is based on the principle of entanglement – two particles that become inextricably linked so that whatever happens to one will automatically affect the other, no matter how far apart they are.
But that form of quantum teleportation still relies on particle transmission in some form or another. The two particles usually need to be together when they’re entangled before being sent to the people on either end of the message (so, they start in one place, and need to be transmitted to another before communication can occur between them).
Alternatively, particles can be entangled at a distance, but it usually requires another particle, such as photons (particles of light), to travel between the two. Direct counterfactual quantum communication on the other hands relies on something other than quantum entanglement. Instead, it uses a phenomenon called the quantum Zeno effect.
Very simply, the quantum Zeno effect occurs when an unstable quantum system is repeatedly measured.
In the quantum world, whenever you look at a system, or measure it, the system changes. And in this case, unstable particles can never decay while they’re being measured (just like the proverbial watched kettle that will never boil), so the quantum Zeno effect creates a system that’s effectively frozen with a very high probability.
Counterfactual quantum communication is based on this quantum Zeno effect, and is defined as the transfer of a quantum state from one site to another without any quantum or classical particle being transmitted between them.
This requires a quantum channel to run between two sites, which means there’s always a small probability that a quantum particle will cross the channel. If that happens, the system is discarded and a new one is set up.
To set up such a complex system, researchers from the University of Science and Technology of China placed two single-photon detectors in the output ports of the last of an array of beam splitters. Because of the quantum Zeno effect, the system is frozen in a certain state, so it’s possible to predict which of the detectors would ‘click’ whenever photons passed through. A series of nested interferometers measure the state of the system to make sure it doesn’t change.
It works based on the fact that, in the quantum world, all light particles can be fully described by wave functions, rather than as particles. So by embedding messages in light the researchers were able to transmit this message without ever directly sending a particle.
The team explains that the basic idea for this set up came from holography technology. “In the 1940s, a new imaging technique – holography – was developed to record not only light intensity but also the phase of light,” the researchers write in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
“One may then pose the question: Can the phase of light itself be used for imaging? The answer is yes.”
The basic idea is this – someone wants to send an image to Alice using only light (which acts as a wave, not a particle, in the quantum realm).
Alice transfers a single photon to the nested interferometer, where it can be detected by three single-photon detectors: D0, D1, and Df.
If D0 or D1 ‘click’, Alice can conclude a logic result of one or zero. If Df clicks, the result is considered inconclusive. As Christopher Packham explains for Phys.org:
“After the communication of all bits, the researchers were able to reassemble the image – a monochrome bitmap of a Chinese knot. Black pixels were defined as logic 0, while white pixels were defined as logic 1 …
In the experiment, the phase of light itself became the carrier of information, and the intensity of the light was irrelevant to the experiment.”
Not only is this a big step forward for quantum communication, the team explains it’s technology that could also be used for imaging sensitive ancient artefacts that couldn’t survive direct light shined on them. The results will now need to be verified by external researchers to make sure what the researchers saw was a true example of counterfactual quantum communication.
Either way, it’s a pretty cool demonstration of just how bizarre and unexplored the quantum world is.

Happiness is a state of mind. You can be Happy. Be a Friend, to yourself. . Only you Truly know yourself.
We are capable of anything our mind can think of. If it is there, it is possible.
You are the center of your Universe.
“Reality is created by the mind. We can change our reality by changing our mind.” – Plato Your brain predicts what any something should be like, then it generates a vision, based on the prediction. It is this vision that is experienced as the real World.
.The mental reconstruction of reality is vivid, substantial and perceived to be located in external objective space. It becomes the brain’s “model” of the World.
Yes, you are strong. You can do anything you want. . Trust in yourself. And set your goal to be Happy. . Do whatever it takes to achieve Happiness. Believe in yourself, and Love yourself.
We canbe Happy, anywhere we are. We do not need anyone’s approval.
Let other people be part of Life ‘s Journey, but not the destination.
Happiness is always in your Hands. It is a state of mind. Be a Friend, a Best Friend, to yourself.
Let no one make you believe otherwise.
We are capable of anything our mind can think of.
You are the possible.
So, be Happy. Become your Dreams. Believe in Love, and you will Love, Life.
Open the Door to another Dimension. Life is full of Light and Joy. . Brighten the darkness all around. With Smiles that abound, and many a cheerful sound, you will Light up the Day.
Goodnight.
Choosing To Be Happy
Strategies for Happiness: 7 Steps to Becoming a Happier Person
A popular greeting card attributes this quote to Henry David Thoreau:“Happiness is like a butterfly: the more you chase it, the more it will elude you, but if you turn your attention to other things, it will come and sit softly on your shoulder.”
With all due respect to the author of Walden, that just isn’t so, according to a growing number of psychologists. You can choose to be happy, they say. You can chase down that elusive butterfly and get it to sit on your shoulder. How? In part, by simply making the effort to monitor the workings of your mind.
Research has shown that your talent for happiness is, to a large degree, determined by your genes. Psychology professor David T. Lykken, author of Happiness: Its Nature and Nurture, says that “trying to be happier is like trying to be taller.” We each have a “happiness set point,” he argues, and move away from it only slightly.
And yet, psychologists who study happiness — including Lykken — believe we can pursue happiness. We can do this by thwarting negative emotions such as pessimism, resentment, and anger. And we can foster positive emotions, such as empathy, serenity, and especially gratitude.
Happiness Strategy # 1: Don’t Worry, Choose Happy
The first step, however, is to make a conscious choice to boost your happiness. In his book, The Conquest of Happiness, published in 1930, the philosopher Bertrand Russell had this to say: “Happiness is not, except in very rare cases, something that drops into the mouth, like a ripe fruit. … Happiness must be, for most men and women, an achievement rather than a gift of the gods, and in this achievement, effort, both inward and outward, must play a great part.”
Today, psychologists who study happiness heartily agree. The intention to be happy is the first of The 9 Choices of Happy People listed by authors Rick Foster and Greg Hicks in their book of the same name.
“Intention is the active desire and commitment to be happy,” they write. “It’s the decision to consciouslychoose attitudes and behaviors that lead to happiness over unhappiness.”
Tom G. Stevens, PhD, titled his book with the bold assertion, You Can Choose to Be Happy. “Choose to make happiness a top goal,” Stevens tells WebMD. “Choose to take advantage of opportunities to learn how to be happy. For example, reprogram your beliefs and values. Learn good self-management skills, good interpersonal skills, and good career-related skills. Choose to be in environments and around people that increase your probability of happiness. The persons who become the happiest and grow the most are those who also make truth and their own personal growth primary values.”
In short, we may be born with a happiness “set point,” as Lykken calls it, but we are not stuck there. Happiness also depends on how we manage our emotions and our relationships with others.
Jon Haidt, author of The Happiness Hypothesis, teaches positive psychology. He actually assigns his students to make themselves happier during the semester.
“They have to say exactly what technique they will use,” says Haidt, a professor at the University of Virginia, in Charlottesville. “They may choose to be more forgiving or more grateful. They may learn to identify negative thoughts so they can challenge them. For example, when someone crosses you, in your mind you build a case against that person, but that’s very damaging to relationships. So they may learn to shut up their inner lawyer and stop building these cases against people.”
Once you’ve decided to be happier, you can choose strategies for achieving happiness. Psychologists who study happiness tend to agree on ones like these.
Happiness Strategy #2: Cultivate Gratitude
In his book, Authentic Happiness, University of Pennsylvania psychologist Martin Seligman encourages readers to perform a daily “gratitude exercise.” It involves listing a few things that make them grateful. This shifts people away from bitterness and despair, he says, and promotes happiness.
Happiness Strategy #3: Foster Forgiveness
Holding a grudge and nursing grievances can affect physical as well as mental health, according to a rapidly growing body of research. One way to curtail these kinds of feelings is to foster forgiveness. This reduces the power of bad events to create bitterness and resentment, say Michael McCullough and Robert Emmons, happiness researchers who edited The Psychology of Happiness.
In his book, Five Steps to Forgiveness, clinical psychologist Everett Worthington Jr. offers a 5-step process he calls REACH. First, recall the hurt. Then empathize and try to understand the act from the perpetrator’s point of view. Be altruistic by recalling a time in your life when you were forgiven. Commit to putting your forgiveness into words. You can do this either in a letter to the person you’re forgiving or in your journal. Finally, try to hold on to the forgiveness. Don’t dwell on your anger, hurt, and desire for vengeance.
The alternative to forgiveness is mulling over a transgression. This is a form of chronic stress, says Worthington.
“Rumination is the mental health bad boy,” Worthington tells WebMD. “It’s associated with almost everything bad in the mental health field — obsessive-compulsive disorder, depression, anxiety — probably hives, too.”
Happiness Strategy #4: Counteract Negative Thoughts and Feelings
As Jon Haidt puts it, improve your mental hygiene. In The Happiness Hypothesis, Haidt compares the mind to a man riding an elephant. The elephant represents the powerful thoughts and feelings — mostly unconscious — that drive your behavior. The man, although much weaker, can exert control over the elephant, just as you can exert control over negative thoughts and feelings.
“The key is a commitment to doing the things necessary to retrain the elephant,” Haidt says. “And the evidence suggests there’s a lot you can do. It just takes work.”
For example, you can practice meditation, rhythmic breathing,yoga, or relaxation techniques to quell anxiety and promote serenity. You can learn to recognize and challenge thoughts you have about being inadequate and helpless.
“If you learn techniques for identifying negative thoughts, then it’s easier to challenge them,” Haidt said. “Sometimes just reading David Burns‘ book, Feeling Good, can have a positive effect.”
Research shows that once income climbs above the poverty level, more money brings very little extra happiness. Yet, “we keep assuming that because things aren’t bringing us happiness, they’re the wrong things, rather than recognizing that the pursuit itself is futile,” writes Daniel Gilbert in his book, Stumbling on Happiness. “Regardless of what we achieve in the pursuit of stuff, it’s never going to bring about an enduring state of happiness.”
Happiness Strategy #6: Foster Friendship
There are few better antidotes to unhappiness than close friendships with people who care about you, says David G. Myers, author ofThe Pursuit of Happiness. One Australian study found that people over 70 who had the strongest network of friends lived much longer.
“Sadly, our increasingly individualistic society suffers from impoverished social connections, which some psychologists believe is a cause of today’s epidemic levels of depression,” Myers writes. “The social ties that bind also provide support in difficult times.”
Happiness Strategy #7: Engage in Meaningful Activities
People are seldom happier, says psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, than when they’re in the “flow.” This is a state in which your mind becomes thoroughly absorbed in a meaningful task that challenges your abilities. Yet, he has found that the most common leisure time activity — watching TV — produces some of the lowest levels of happiness.
To get more out of life, we need to put more into it, says Csikszentmihalyi. “Active leisure that helps a person grow does not come easily,” he writes in Finding Flow. “Each of the flow-producing activities requires an initial investment of attention before it begins to be enjoyable.”
So it turns out that happiness can be a matter of choice — not just luck. Some people are lucky enough to possess genes that foster happiness. However, certain thought patterns and interpersonal skills definitely help people become an “epicure of experience,” says David Lykken, whose name, in Norwegian, means “the happiness.”
“The foolish man seeks happiness in the distance, the wise grows it under his feet.” – James Oppenheim

Prayers really are magical. I Pray that you are receiving that magic, and that your Life is in a place of contentment.
Prayer will relax the mind, and provide more insight, more compassion and more positive intentions.
To find answers for the unending problems in Life, look in the Bible. The Holy Word of God uses thoughtful stories and illustrations from people in History, to show our need for Faith. . It guides us through the essential questions in Life, and leads to reasonable and compelling conclusions.
You can Live your Life a changed Person, and Live a Truly Great experience.
Your Precious Life can become the most Beautiful and moving ever you Dreamed of.
Spend a few moments touring around the Beautiful and Creative Mind you have been so Blessed with.
Feel the Beat of your own Sacred Heart, as your eyes walk around the ruins of the physical World inherited by greed, and hatred and sin.
Prayer will transport you to another Time and place.
Love, and Love alone, will move you to a Sacred Place in your Heart. . Your Love will play the most integral part in Life.
Giving Love, is as critical as receiving it in our quest for Happiness.
Your Love will lift your Spirit above all things ever found. . Love is the Masterpiece of God’s Creation, in an ageless place of Peace and reflection. . The Love in your Heart, is what Mankind is capable of doing for others. And it is beyond description.
Prayer is an astonishing Place, that touches the Heart, where your Dreams are Real and you discover the Reality of Love.
There is a Dream, that is you. And you can Dream it. . The material World can make it vanish. It is so fragile, that it may not survive.
“What we do in Life, echoes in Eternity.” – Maximus Meridius
With chaos happening all around, we need relaxing, meditative Prayer. Giving the Spiritual Dimension in our Time, makes Life even more special and relevant.
Our moment with God brings the feeling of warmth, Love and Peace.
As we reminisce about the Happy moments we have had, and Thank God for having them, we bring them Alive again.
Our childhood memories were the Happiest time of Life.
Go back to these days.
Become a Child again. . Nothing compares to the Joy of being a Child of God.
Goodnight.
A New Dimension to a Meaningful Life
Studies suggest that appreciating beauty in the everyday may be just as powerful as a sense of overarching purpose.
When we think about lives filled with meaning, we often focus on people whose grand contributions benefited humanity. Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Nelson Mandela surely felt they had a worthwhile Life. But how about us ordinary people, toiling away in a typical existence?
Many scholars agree that a subjectively meaningful existence oftenboils down to three factors: the feeling that one’s life is coherent and “makes sense,” the possession of clear and satisfying long-term goals and the belief that one’s Life matters in the grand scheme of things. Psychologists call these three things coherence, purpose and existential mattering.
But we believe there is another element to consider. Think about the first butterfly you stop to admire after a long winter or imagine the scenery atop a hill after a fresh hike. Sometimes existence delivers us small moments of beauty.When people are open to appreciating such experiences, these moments may enhance how they view their life. We call this element experiential appreciation. The phenomenon reflects the feeling of a deep connection to events as they transpire and the ability to extract value from that link. It represents the detection of and admiration for Life’s inherent Beauty.
We recently set out to better understand this form of appreciation in a series of studies, published inNature Human Behaviour, that involved more than 3,000 participants. Across these studies, we were interested in whether experiential appreciation was related to a person’s sense of meaning even when we accounted for the effects of the classic trio of coherence, purpose and existential mattering. If so, experiential appreciation could be a unique contributor to meaningfulness and not simply a product of these other variables.
As an initial test of our idea, during the early stages of the COVID pandemic, we had participants rate their endorsement of different coping strategies to relieve their stress. We found that people who managed stress by focusing on their appreciation for Life’s Beauty also reported experiencing Life as highly meaningful.
In the next study, we asked participants to rate the extent to which they agreed with various statements, such as “I have a great appreciation for the beauty of life” and “I appreciate a wide variety of experiences,” as well as other statements that related to coherence, purpose, existential mattering and a general sense of meaning in life.
Our results showed that the more people indicated that they were “appreciating life” and its many experiences, the more they felt their existence was valuable. In fact, these two elements related strongly to each other even when we controlled for other aspects of a meaningful life. In subsequent studies, we further explored the connection between these concepts. For example, we found that participants asked to recall the most meaningful event of the past week generally reported high experiential appreciation in those moments.
Finally, we conducted a series of experiments in which we gave people specific tasks and, once more, asked them to report how strongly they identified with statements linked to purpose, mattering, et cetera.
In one case, we found that participants who watched an awe-inspiring video, such as the opening sequence of the BBC documentary Planet Earth, reported having a greater sense of experiential appreciation and meaning in life, compared with participants who watched more neutral videos, such as an instructional woodworking video.
Similarly, participants who wrote about a recent experience for which they were grateful had a greater sense of meaning and experiential appreciation afterward when compared with participants who simply wrote about a common place they had visited in the past week.
The results confirmed our original theory: appreciating small things can make Life feel more meaningful. But applying that insight can be difficult. Our modern, fast-paced, project-oriented lifestyles fill the day with targets and goals. We are on the go, and we attempt to maximize output both at work and at leisure. This focus on future outcomes makes it all too easy to miss what is happening right now. Yet Life happens in the present moment. We should slow down, let Life surprise us and embrace the significance in the everyday.
As former Indian prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru wrote in 1950, “We live in a wonderful world…. There is no end to the adventures that we can have if only we seek them with our eyes open.”

Let us Thank God for the Holy Bible, for the Divinely Inspired Words of Truth. . Pray and Thank God our Father, who we came From, not through, for ALL that is Life.
The Precious Words of Scripture are far more than mere Words woven together in ancient Times. They are, the very Essence of Love, of God’s Love for you.
Place His Sacred Words in your Heart, and Know that ALL will be well, because You are Faithful in His Name.
Tenderness survives being trapped by the will.
Delicate words, not spoken in haste, make the subtle Heart swell, as everything becomes Perfected and wonderfully Created, and a Dreamy atmosphere is given Creation. . This is Beautiful.
“It’s the Heart afraid of breaking, that never learns to dance. It’s the Dream afraid of waking, that never takes the chance. It’s the one who won’t be taken, who cannot seem to give. And the Soul afraid of dying, that never learns to Live. When the night has been too lonely and the road has been too long And you think that Love is only for the lucky and the strong, Just remember in the winter, far beneath the bitter snows Lies the seed, that with the Sun’s Love in the Spring becomes the Rose.”
– Amanda McBroom
I Pray that you invite the Holy Spirit inside your precious Heart. . Turn to God. He will always Forgive. . “If we confess our sins, He is Faithful and Just and will Forgive us our sins and Purify us from all unrighteousness.” – 1 John 1:9
Look at Love and you may see, it weaves a web of Loving Mystery. Its threads can be torn apart, hiding Hope in a precious Heart. . But Hope has a place in every Heart. It whispers words that flow into the Ocean tides of Life and Living.
The intense feeling of Hope, is a Celebration of Life.
Close your mind and open your Heart. God is The Light you feel, your own Light, your own Love, your own.
Hope gives one more breath, one more word, one more beat of the Human Heart, so that our Dreams may give Life Wings.
Such Love is meant to be. . Hope has a Home. It sets the Heart free, so you can be you, and I can be me.
We journey so far on the road of Life, to let Love rise, and then we let Love depart.
But Hope has a place in every Heart.
So, look to Love so you may Dream. And give Love Wings. For Love is meant to be. . Love is Home and it sets the Heart free, to be.
Are you at a point where you’re second-guessing your path and your purpose?
You know you’re meant for more and you spend many days questioning how you ended up where you are and wondering how to change?
Most days you feel frustrated and fed-up! You wonder why things aren’t going the way you planned. You long to live a life of meaning but you’re unhappy in your career or you’re floundering in your business. You have this nagging feeling that you’re not on the right path. Your self-doubt and uncertainty is working overtime!
This happens to so many visionary, impact-driven women who long to make a difference in the world. They follow the path that they think they should be following instead of following the path that is meant for them.
Especially if it’s something that’s not common! Being different feels too scary. What if people judge you? What if your idea doesn’t work because it’s never been done before?Someone has to be the first. Why not you?
There are countless examples of innovators who have gone first.
YOUR FEAR AND DOUBT HAS YOU:
Hiding parts of you to fit in
Pushing to prove yourself and show people you’re good enough •
Saying yes when you really want to say no
Saying no when you really want to say yes
Struggling to find the words to communicate your needs
Feeling undeserving to receive gifts and compliments
You often don’t say what you want to say.
You sit silently when inside you feel desperate to say what you want to say, but the words just won’t come out.
You’re too worried about what people might think of you.
These are just a few symptoms of the fear of rejection and the fear of failure.
If any of these statements felt true for you, fear is is at the root of the challenges you’re experiencing.
Your fears and self-doubt have disconnected you from the True You.
They’ve disconnected you from your inner-peace and what brings you joy.
They disconnected you from your true purpose and what you’re meant to do in the world.
Knowledge is power and LIFE.

If we only learn to Smile, to spark a Hope, to give of our abundance, to forward Kindness, and share our Happiness, we can begin to Truly Live Life.
You can be amazing, and your words deliver a message that will bring Joy into someone’s precious Life. Your Love will touch their Soul.
You can let others know that they are Loved, and they are needed.
Let us stop worrying about the Future and remember a Time in the past, when our thoughts were so Happy.
Relax and teleport your mind into a different World, a REAL World. Close your eyes and remember a Tomorrow that was Yesterday. You will be able to find Life’s meaning and purpose. It did exist, and can exist again.
You are special. Great things are coming to you. When you Pray, you can feel the Flow of God’s Energy.
“What we achieve inwardly will change outer reality.” – Plutarch
Our conscious, Living Being responds more vigorously to our feelings, than our thoughts. So, let us speak in the Language of the Heart.
“Prayers not felt by us are seldom heard by God.” – Philip Henry
Lose yourself in the energy of your feelings, your yearning to help another. . “The more willing you are to surrender to the energy within you, the more power can flow through you.” – Benjamin Franklin
Your feeling is the Prayer. . “For the beauty of the Earth,For the beauty of the skiesFor the love which from our birthOver and around us liesOver and around us liesLord of all, to thee we raiseThis our joyful hymn of praiseFor the beauty of the hourOf the day and of the nightHill and vale and tree and flowerSun and moon and stars of lightSun and moon and stars of lightLord of all, to thee we raiseThis our joyful hymn of praiseFor the joy of human loveBrother, sister, parent, childFriends on earth and friends aboveFor all gentle thoughts and mildFor all gentle thoughts and mildLord of all, to thee we raiseThis our joyful hymn of praiseFor each perfect gift of thineTo our race so freely givenGraces Human and divineFlowers of earth and buds of heavenFlowers of earth and buds of heavenLord of all, to thee we raiseThis our joyful hymn, our joyful hymn of PraiseThis our joyful hymn of Praise.”
Let your Song join the One that never ends. Let the Sea of your imagination rush through your mind and Heart. Escape this reality. Hope lies just beyond the horizon of illusions that are Life. . Knowing comes from awareness that God is Real and that He Lives within.
To grasp Reality, go the Lord in Prayer.
The Stars in the Sky are a mirror. Listen to your Heart.
We can learn how to Love God, and draw closer to Him.
Amazing Love can fill your whole Being. Listen, Pray and Believe.
The Songs and the Stories of Love and Life are so emotional and so exquisite. Someday Love and Life will meet again. Someday it will be Spring again.
Let your Light shine everywhere, and let it Bless those in need.
God has been so good to you. Be Grateful. The Best Way to Praise the Lord and Express His Love is to invite Him into your Life and follow in His Path.
Healing is in the meditation of calming the mind and feeling the Infinite Energy that exists within. You can feel your mind, your Being and your Spirit in each Sacred Breath.
You can inspire others to share your passions with the World. And they will thank you for making this World a better place.
Life passes by and nothing is permanent. We Live each day, lost in the worries and troubles of the moment. We don’t notice Time passing by. Why did Time pass by so quickly? Perhaps it does not exist. Perhaps, it too is an illusion. . Our Hearts ache for simpler Times, for the days when we were Children. They exist in our precious memories. And YES, they can exist again.
Love is what darkness fears the most.
Close your eyes. You will see Peace. You Heart is ready to forgive and to forget and to send Love into the Lives of others all around you, and all over the World.
It is so inspiring to know that people all around this Beautiful World Love each other unconditionally. And through Love we are all connected. We are one.
The dark was never meant to rule the Earth. Our Destiny is the Light, and the Love, and the Peace of our Lord. . Let the Vibration of your Life be Kind to each other, be accepting of one another. The darkness wants to separate us. But the Light of Love, will bring us together.
Clear your mind. Let the Energy of Love flow into the Fiber of your Being through Prayer. You are Love, and you are a Divine Child of God. . With Faith you will become EVERYTHING God wants you to be. Believe in yourself, and Believe in God. This your moment.
Alicia Staley’s journey as 23+ year cancer survivor.
Today, we’re featuring a blog post by S. Adams. As many of you know, I’ve been interested in the environmental impacts that cause cancer. Today’s entry touches on one aspect of that. Thank you for contributing this very important perspective.
Developing cancer can be one of the most devastating things that can happen to a person. The instant your doctor utters the words, “You have cancer” your mind runs an emotional gamut. Fear, uncertainty, sadness, hope, love, anxiety, anger, despair. Cancer is the nightmare no one wishes to wake up with. The resolve to fight for your life, and live it to it’s fullest becomes your focus. There are many unknowns about cancer, and gradually scientists are learning more about what may cause cancer, and how to treat it. While a cure for cancer is still being researched, we as individuals must do what we can and avoid those things which we know can cause cancer.
Carcinogens are cancer causing chemicals. The most well known carcinogens are cigarette smoke, asbestos, benzene, and formaldehyde. These chemicals are found in everyday items such as building materials, glues, detergents, plastics, pesticides, lubricants, paper products, cosmetics, air deodorizers, carpets, and more. It may be hard to avoid items with these chemicals, as they are chemicals used in so many products, and you may not realize how much you are being exposed to them.
With what is known about causes of cancer, it will come as a shock that there are prescription drugs, commonly prescribed medicines, that have been shown to cause cancer in animals. Yet, they are still readily available. One reason they are likely still available is that the big drug makers, with their monetary ties to the FDA, insist more research has to be done on these medicines before they should be considered being labeled with extraneous warnings.
Millions of women experiencing menopause have taken HRT (hormone replacement therapy) to ease their symptoms. HRT boosts estrogen levels, which can promote both breast and uterine cancer development. How many women have used this to relieve their menopausal symptoms, only to develop some form of cancer as a result? We will never know.
Drugs that have been found to cause cancer in rats range from heartburn medications to blood pressure and cholesterol lowering drugs. Prilosec (heartburn), Aldactazine, Aldactone (both blood pressure meds), Zocor, Lopid, Mevacor, Lescol, and Pravachol(cholesterol lowering drugs) have all been found to be a cause of cancer in animals, and have been linked to increased occurrences of cancer by patients who have taken these drugs.
Do the benefits of these drugs outweigh the risk? The risk of developing cancer is not one to take lightly! The fact that there are even more prescription drugs being researched as being the causes of cancer is disgusting.
There is research being done after scientific research has determined pancreatic cancer to be a Januvia side effect. Januvia is a billion dollar money making diabetes drug produced by Merck, and being the big money maker that is, Merck defends the drug against naysayers, saying more research needs to be done to back up these claims. With similar diabetes drugs, Byetta and Victoza having been found to increase the risk of cancer, expedited research should be required. Are the manufacturers of these drugs hiding research results for the sake of increased profit? With so many drugs being questioned, this certainly seems, sadly, a possibility.
The FDA warns against using the topical eczema ointments Elidel and Protopic in children under two as these medicines are associated with lymphoma and skin cancers. The warning goes on to include that “the long term safety of these drugs is unknown.” As you can read here, the maker of the drug found no reason for a warning to be added to the medicines.
As a consumer, it is in your interest to know the risks associated with prescription drugs that you are taking. Sites like DrugNews.net issue safety alerts, FDA recalls, and important medical industry news that can keep buyers aware of news that may be happening outside mainstream media. Being informed about the side effects and risks associated with medicines is another way to be be prudent in avoiding health risks.
People taking medicine trust their doctors and they trust the makers of the drugs they are taking. It is absurd that so many medicines have been linked to increasing the risk of cancer development, and the FDA should require more research into these drugs, quantifying the risk, instead of asking consumers to ignore the risk completely. Cancer should not be a risk that should be given or taken so lightly.

To prevent and cure cancer we must keep our body’s immune system high. This is done by following eight simple rules that I will briefly cover here.
