Shay continues her odyssey at the Optimum Health Institute in Quemado. She is reporting significant weight loss and higher energy. In her missionary training, she is running the morning exercise/yoga classes, and has been taking breathing classes. She had been doing a stint in the garden, but over the past week it's been chilly and wet down there, so they've suspended a lot of the garden operations pending better weather (same thing here in Western Oregon!).
Shay is also getting regular colonics, reflexology treatments, and doing meditation. She talked to me today about doing a 3-week course myself in January. "I think it would be really good for you to disconnect from the computer and the phone for a while." Of course, that's like saying, "just remove your head for three weeks." Actually, I'm quite sure it would be very good to change things up in that way--not to mention the other OHI programs and regimens.
I've continued with my daily Bikram Yoga practice, and am appreciating more and more some of the supplements I'm taking, such as Stem Enhance, PureZyme, MasterZyme, and mineral supplements. I read a great article on Magnesium last night, and have posted it on the site for your use (see below). Magnesium is used for more processes in the human body than any other mineral, and magnesium deficiencies have been cited as causative factors for many types of cancer, depression, endocrine imbalances, and organ failure. So, make sure to get your magnesium!
Until next time...
In vibrant health,

Healthy Eating Pyramid...
Use a food pyramid that?s actually based on the latest and best science.
We can't look at a pyramid these days without thinking of food and healthy eating. There was the U.S. government's Food Guide Pyramid, followed by its replacement, My Pyramid, which was basically the same thing, just pitched on its side. The problem was that these efforts, while generally good intentioned, have been quite flawed at actually showing people what makes up a healthy diet. Why? Their recommendations have often been based on out-of-date science and influenced by people with business interests in their messages.
But, there's a better alternative: the Healthy Eating Pyramid, built by the faculty in the Department of Nutrition at the Harvard School of Public Health. Based on the latest science, and unaffected by businesses and organizations with a stake in its messages, the Health Eating Pyramid is a simple, trustworthy guide to choosing a healthy diet. Click on the pyramid for a larger view.
Following the Healthy Eating Pyramid
- Start with exercise. A healthy diet is built on a base of regular exercise, which keeps calories in balance and weight in check.
- Focus on food, not grams. The Healthy Eating Pyramid doesn?t worry about specific servings or grams of food, so neither should you. It?s a simple, general guide to how you should eat when you eat.
- Go with plants. Eating a plant-based diet is healthiest. Choose plenty of vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and healthy fats, like olive and canola oil.
- Cut way back on American staples. Red meat, refined grains, potatoes, sugary drinks, and salty snacks are part of American culture, but they?re also really unhealthy. Go for plant-based diet rich in non-starchy vegetables, fruits, and whole grains. And if you eat meat, fish and poultry are the best choices.
- Take a multivitamin, and maybe have a drink. Taking a multivitamin can be a good nutrition insurance policy. Moderate drinking for many people can have real health benefits, but it's not for everyone. Those who don?t drink shouldn?t feel that they need to start.

The wonders of Magnesium
Researcher, Mark Sircus, of the International Medical Veritas Association, presents a fascinating and informative article about the crucial value of dietary magnesium. He says, "There is a power and a force in magnesium that cannot be equaled anywhere else in the world of medicine. There is no substitute for magnesium in human physiology; nothing comes even close to it in terms of its effect on overall cell physiology. Without sufficient magnesium, the body accumulates toxins and acid residues, degenerates rapidly, and ages prematurely. It goes against a gale wind of medical science to ignore magnesium chloride used transdermally in the treatment of any chronic or acute disorder, especially cancer." He recommends transdermal applications of magnesium chloride... >>>> MORE
Hook your body up to a life energy battery! Give your body the energy it needs to heal itself. Most naturopathic physicians will tell you that the main problem with giving herbal formulas or homeopathics, is that very often their patients' bodies lack enough ENERGY to fully utilize the healing properties of the medicines. To help fix this, the doctors will then prescribe dietary fasts, massage or acupuncture in an attempt to get energy into the body system. Once this has been done, then the herbal formulas will have much more punch and less waste.
Modern-day quantum physics has begun to scientifically explain these ancient practices, and new technologies are now available as a result. Quantum physics refers to this life energy, or "chi," as SUBTLE ENERGY. Without having to get too technical, the laws of quantum physics allow that life energy can be transferred from one substance to another. This is where the Life Energy Super Pack comes in... >>>> MORE INFO
- McDonald's cooking oil trans fat-free in U.S., Canada
McDonald's Corp has switched to cooking oils free of trans fats in all of its restaurants in the United States and Canada, Chief Executive Jim Skinner said on Thursday... - Starving may fend off jet lag
Starving yourself before a long flight may help prevent jet lag, U.S. researchers said on Thursday. Normally, the body's natural circadian clock in the brain dictates when to wake, eat and sleep, all in response to light. But it seems a second clock takes over when food is scarce... - Kicking the habit may be contagious
Nothing may feel lonelier than trying to quit smoking, but in fact, people kick the habit in clusters, U.S. researchers said on Wednesday. The same team of experts who found that obesity may be socially contagious said they found similar patterns among smokers, with people clearly influencing others in their social and family networks... - Lawmakers call on drug companies to curb ads
The Michigan Democrats are investigating whether companies are misleading potential patients through television commercials and other direct-to-consumer advertisements. At the hearing, Congressman Stupak called on the companies to rein in their campaigns or face tighter restriction and possibly an advertisement ban... - Brain's 'trust machinery' identified
The brain centers triggered by a betrayal of trust have been identified by researchers, who found they could suppress such triggering and maintain trust by administering the brain chemical oxytocin. The researchers said their findings not only offer basic insights into the neural machinery underlying trust; the results may also help in understanding the neural basis of social disorders such as phobias and autism... - Older Brain Really May Be a Wiser Brain
Some brains do deteriorate with age. Alzheimer?s disease, for example, strikes 13 percent of Americans 65 and older. But for most aging adults, the authors say, much of what occurs is a gradually widening focus of attention that makes it more difficult to latch onto just one fact, like a name or a telephone number. Although that can be frustrating, it is often useful... - Aging doesn't necessarily shrink the brain
Researchers, however, are more optimistic than ever about the potential of the aging brain, because recent evidence has challenged long-held beliefs by demonstrating that the brain can grow new nerve cells... - Government to unveil fitness test for adults
An adult fitness test is being introduced Wednesday by the President's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports. It will incorporate several of the exercises that millions of students undertake each year as they aim for a certificate signed by the president...
By Dr. DicQie Fuller-Looney, Women's Health is a definitive look at the relationship between digestive enzymes and hormones, and how hormonal imbalances in women can be traced back to enzyme deficiencies. This book is a logical, no-nonsense evaluation of the current medical approaches that overlook digestive enzymes as an ultimate solution. Dr. Fuller-Looney makes her case by showing that the symptoms of protein malabsorption are the same as the symptoms of menopause. DOWNLOAD HERE
