This Week's Quote:

“If you could only love enough, you could be the most powerful person in the world” ·

Emmet Fox

1. Join Me In Mind Power Teleclasses, Every Wednesday at 6.00 pm PST.

Many of you know I'm a member of MENSA, the high IQ club. While I don't promise to get you a MENSA membership, I can guarantee some interesting and completely original material for you in these new teleclasses.

My slogan for this is "Heal your life with sweet logic". In a world obsessed with magic and the slick, easy way out (Law of Attraction, The Secret, and effort-free solutions), I'd like to propose that the ultimate self-development and achieve-success tool is to train your own mind to more functional power.

Our mind is there to solve problems. To sit around with super "thoughts" about success falling into your lap and expect somebody else to do it for you is an abuse of what God gave you. Our powers of reason and deduction are what brought Man down from the trees, to create fire, automobiles, TV, computers and an abstract mathematics that embraces quantum physics and Einstein's relativity. Keep your Hick's "Abraham" (I don't believe Esther Hicks is genuine, if she ever was): I'll go for Einstein, Schroedinger and A. N. Whitehead, any day (mathematician Alfred North Whitehead was as spiritual as any of the phoney gurus of today and believed in a world powered by love, intelligence and life energy).

I'm sick of the phoneys, of whom James Ray is a good example. He will be jailed and good riddance, for killing people in his pursuit of greed, disguised as power thinking. He regurgitated pesudo-quantum science, making it clear he knew nothing whatever of the facts. It was just a glitz for his phoney selling.

If you want rationality and REAL philosophy of how God made all this, listen to the founders of Quantum physics, not the "give me a million dollars and I'll tell you some lies to keep you happy" gurus.

They know who they are. They got rich maybe. But they are liars to the last. Their wealth does not impress me (fooled Oprah, didn't he? That's how persuasive these creeps are)

If you haven't already listened, you can grab a sample of the kind of infinite power logic I represent by listening to this recording. It's FREE!! http://www.renegadeguru.com/download1.htm

Meanwhile, on Wednesday next, you can join a live webcast and conference telecall on this exciting new territory. It will be a series.

2. Health Freedom Alliance Calls It The New "Terror Hormone"

The beta agonist ractopamine, a repartitioning agent that increases protein synthesis, was introduced for livestock use when researchers found the drug, used in asthma, made mice more muscular. Now this appalling stuff is in our food chain, without anyone being asked "Do you mind?"

What's the big deal? Answer is: ractopamine is dangerous and has already been banned in 160 countries. It is responsible for hyperactivity, muscle breakdown and 10 percent mortality in pigs. Angry farmers were phoning the manufacturer to complain at their loss. There is nothing they can do. Why?

BECAUSE THE FDA SAYS THIS SUBSTANCE IS SAFE TO ADD TO HUMAN FOOD. Once again, the fox is in charge of the hen house. Some corrupt FDA louse is collecting big money to lie and obscure the issues.

In America, the dollar is always sacrosanct. You can kill as many as you want, so long as there are dollars in it.

Isn't it also another version of America's xenophobia? Most Americans don't even KNOW what's going on in the rest of the world. They wouldn't rate it if they did. So it is easy for bodies like the FDA to fool the public here.

Part of the evil is that, unlike the growth promoting antibiotics and hormones, which are withdrawn as the animal nears slaughter, ractopamine is started as the animal nears slaughter.

As much as twenty percent of Paylean, given to pigs for their last 28 days, Optaflexx, given to cattle their last 28 to 42 days and Tomax, given to turkeys their last 7 to 14 days, remains in consumer meat says author and well known veterinarian Michael W. Fox. Ractopamine is used in 45 percent of US pigs, according to Elanco Animal Health, which manufactures all three products.

Ractopamine is even banned in China (not famous for its food protection).

Note that its handling instructions are: “Not for use in humans. Individuals with cardiovascular disease should exercise special caution to avoid exposure. Use protective clothing, impervious gloves, protective eye wear, and a NIOSH-approved dust mask”. Yet the FDA has classed it as safe to swallow!

In fact it is not all the FDA's fault. Elanco are accomplished liars and cheats. In a 14-page warning letter to them, the FDA Center for Veterinary Medicine’s Office of Surveillance and Compliance accused Elanco of withholding information about “safety and effectiveness” and “adverse animal drug experiences” upon which ractopamine was approved.

Why was there no mention of the farmer phone calls to Elanco reporting, “hyperactivity,” “dying animals,” “downer pigs” and “tying up” and “stress” syndromes, asks the FDA letter. Where was the log of phone calls that included farmers saying, “animals are down and shaking,” and “pig vomiting after eating feed with Paylean”?

But, not to worry; business as usual. Despite ractopamine’s dangers and the falsified approval documents, the FDA still approved ractopamine the following year for cattle–and last year for turkeys.

An article in the 2003 Journal of Animal Science confirms that “ractopamine does affect the behavior, heart rate and catecholamine profile of finishing pigs and making them more difficult to handle and potentially more susceptible to handling and transport stress.”

The FDA’s approval of a drug for food that requires impervious gloves, goggles and a mask just to touch it makes a farce of care for human health and safety.

3. Should We Have A Pets Corner?

After the latest SCENAR teleclass with the Haches, one of my long-time subscribers, Karla Kay, wrote to me with a fascinating story which I am dying to share with you all.

Dear Dr. Keith,

We have a situation here that needs medical observation, consideration, and analyses by a great brain such as yours! [ahem, polite cough...]

I have a friend, Alaina, who is an "animal person". She's lived in Alaska, raised and drove sled dogs, has been involved with horses, dogs, cats, and all animals all of her life. She KNOWS when an animal is sick and/or dying.

She was visiting a friend this AM, whose dog was down. Hadn't risen for two days, cried/screamed when his back around the kidney area was touched, couldn't urinate, eyes becoming glazed, not moving. She thought that his problem was kidney stones, and prescribed green olives. Yes, green olives, either with OR without the pimentos. Cheapest kind will do. (This dog is a 100 lbs. Malamute)

They gave the dog 6 green olives as a trial dosage, as he lay there, kept him company for a couple of hours, saw that his eyes had begun to clear, his ears were twitching and swiveling, and he was becoming more alert in general. Six more olives, and they were able to move him, supported by a towel, out to the yard, so that he could urinate.

He was left laying in the sun, and the friends called her to tell her that he had moved to follow the sun himself. He had gotten up and MOVED.

He was brought in the house as it became cooler, and after awhile they invited him out to the yard again, where he again was able to urinate.

Six more olives, and another dose tonight, and it looks as if they will be able to take him to the vet for some other problems.

This isn't the first time this has worked. The first time was when a cat, who had been diagnosed by a vet as having crystals in his urine and calcification, demanded some of the green olives that his owner was eating while looking at TV (gave him 3-5 slices this time, and worked for subsequent attacks). It still works, and 3 more cats, one small dog, and one very large dog seemingly owe their lives to this cure. We really, in our minds, have enough anecdotal information to want to "spread the word" !

The dosage is probably one olive per 10 pounds, twice a day. Perhaps more often, at first. The animals have no inclination to drink the juice it comes in - and don't object too strenuously to having the olives, sliced or whole, put down their throats.

My question to you is - (being one of the few doctors in our world I feel comfortable talking to about this-): What could be in green olives that is seemingly making this an effective remedy for kidney stones/problems?

Awaiting your answer -

Karla

P.S. Alaina is going to try it on herself. She is prone to developing "gravel" here in Kingman - high mineral content in our water - Should I let you know if it works on her?

PPS. The olives are in the jars/cans one purchases at any store. In the case of the Malamute, they fed him cocktail olives - expensive ones - that they had around the house for their martinis. I asked about the pimentos - she said it didn't seem to make any difference. It still worked. The lady with the cat was eating from small cans of sliced olives from the store. Cheapest ones will do!

Alaina hasn't tried black olives - don't know if they would be effective.

So, readers: I know that olives contain oleopurines, which are good anti-inflammatory compounds. But that hardly seems enough in the present case.

Does anyone know any other angle on this that might shed some light. References preferred, not just opinions. Experiences are OK to share too.

4. Smoking Cessation (Quitting!) Takes A New Turn For The Better

One of the things I came up with in 1981 - 1982 was a totally novel way of quitting smoking. I took it pretty casually and had no thought of exploiting it or making money (could have made $10millions!)

Later, others thought of the same thing, but they still didn't develop it either. So it's languished for decades. I've decided it's time to resurrect this unusual way of quitting. It spares the quitter the pains of cravings and unpleasant withdrawal symptoms. But it is not like NRT (nicotine replacement therapy), which simply masks the withdrawals but does NOT get rid of the nicotine addiction.

Even more shockingly, I can reveal to what I found: nicotine isn't even the real problem; it's only a small part of the story.

I've put the story in a eBook and you can get yourself a copy here.

If you want to join with me in the quitting method, you'll get direct access to me with questions. You can be a pioneer and get help for yourself. We can take that forward to others. Who knows, you might be with me on Oprah some day!

There is a modest cost because I don't want time-wasters and tire kickers here... Too much to be done.

5. Early Day Viagra Substance!

Ancient Egyptian eye cosmetic worked on nitric oxide pathway.

The stunning eye makeup worn thousands of years ago by Queen Nefertiti and other Egyptian royals may not have been used to enhance beauty alone. New research suggests that the ancient cosmetics may have helped prevent or treat eye disease.

Some ancient Egyptians thought their lead-based black eye makeup could protect against illness. Until now, scientists haven't believed this, because lead-based substances are dangerous.

In a study, published in the current issue of the journal Analytical Chemistry, researchers analyzed substances from ancient Egyptian makeup containers that are preserved at the Louvre museum in Paris. They found that the substances raise the production of nitric oxide in skin cells, which can help boost the immune system and prevent or treat eye infections.

According to study author Christian Amatore, of the Universite Pierre & Marie Curie, and colleagues, eye infections could develop due to exposure to contaminated water and may have commonly struck ancient Egyptians.

We don't know if the Egytians knew what they were doing much, but whether or not, this is the first known example of a large-scale chemical process, using notric oxide pathways.

Viagra, if you didn't know, creates male erections by blocking the breakdown of nitric oxide. That in turn causes blood flow to all parts of the body. It's especially helpful below the belt.

Well, do I have to draw a picture?...

6. What's In A Word?

Balderdash

A good old-fashioned English word from the days of Empire. It means stupid or illogical talk; senseless rubbish. Nowadays we might prefer bullshi*t, though B*S* always carries the hidden accusation that what is being said is deliberate, for advantage or gain. Codswollop is another word with the same meaning, straight from English public school days.

Balderdash is also a board game of bluffing and trivia by Laura Robinson and Paul Toyne.

Balderdash was a short-lived game show based on the board game, that aired on PAX TV from August 2, 2004 to February 4, 2005 with repeats airing until April 22. It was hosted by Elayne Boosler and announced by John Moschitta.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balderdash_(game_show)

Some argue its origin lies in the Welsh baldorddus, idle noisy talk or chatter (though that is pronounced very differently), while others point to related words in Dutch, Icelandic and Norwegian, such as the Dutch balderen, to roar or thunder. It appears around the time of Shakespeare with the meaning of froth or frothy liquid, or a jumbled mixture of liquids, such as milk and beer, or beer and wine. Only in the latter part of the seventeenth century did it move towards its modern meaning, through the idea of speech or writing that is a senseless jumble, hence nonsense or trash.

So, that's all for this week!

Be well; find the sacred in all you do, otherwise don't do it!
