Seeking and Finding Wholeness

Here’s some food for though, did you know that all (I mean every single) healing that you experience is 100% your body healing itself? medicine, doctors even religious and energy healers, they do not heal you, they assist your body in healing itself.

It’s nice to see this quote from Master Lin (i.e. Chunyi Lin), a QiGong Master and founder of the Spring Forest QiGong technique, basically validating this point, that all healing is self healing     

Hello my dear friends! It is very important to know that a qigong master never heals- the qigong master only helps and assists. The person has to heal themself.

By Chunyi Lin (posted May 11, 2010)

Master Lin was named 2010 Qigong Master of the Year at the 12th World Congress on Qigong/TCM in San Francisco, California on April 24, 2010.

While reading about color therapy, I came across this article and found it worth sharing. It’s a good intro to, and gives you some history on, what is called Spectro-Chrome color therapy. It talks a little about what seems to be suppression by some interests and how, despite suppression, color therapy is being used today.

Despite what anyone may think, in my personal opinion (and I suspect this is the opinion of so many people around this planet,)  an adult person has the right to treat one’s self or loved ones with ANY kind of therapy they choose. This is a matter of human rights, freedom of choice, freedom of expression and freedom of religion as well. In the U.S we expect such freedoms.

If you or a loved one is suffering from some sort of dis-ease, by all means continue any conventional treatment that you’re using, seek help everywhere you can, and should you choose to utilize some sort of  ‘alternative therapy’ that is your right. You’re an adult, do your research, reach your conclusion and make up your own decisions.  The key here is doing your research to arm yourself with knowledge.

At the end of this post I share with you very valuable resources should you decide to learn more about color therapy, these were suggested to me by an authority in this field.

Article Title: Clinical Spectro-Chrome Color Therapy Crushed by the Medical Mafia

If someone told you he or she cured his or her cancer with color therapy, would you believe it? You may understandably categorize it as new age nonsense. Well, it appears that it’s for real and not just for cancer. Colored light therapy was originated mostly by an American physician, Dr. Edwin Babbitt, in 1878, and developed scientifically into Spectro-Chrome therapy for virtually any malady by Dinshah Ghadiali, who had immigrated to New York from India during the early 20th century.

Despite the harassment and law suits in Dinshah Ghadiali’s adopted home state of New York, he was able to continue practicing, training, and selling the equipment needed until around 1946. He was supported by AMA practicing physicians who were using his colored light therapy successfully, even in extreme cases that medicine of the 1920’s through early 1940’s could not handle.

What You’re Not Supposed to Know

It was not until 1946 through 1948 that Spectro-Chrome therapy was crushed by the Medical Mafia’s use of the court system in New Jersey. Dinshah’s therapy had been getting too popular among health professionals and ordinary people. So a rigged court and judge had their way. His and others’ equipment was destroyed in a publicized spectacle similar to the old FBI raids on bootleggers during prohibition. Dinshah Ghadiali was fined $20,000 and placed on probation for five years.

How could something that doesn’t work be the target of such a destructive campaign from the Medical Mafia? Consider that there are auras, and the colors indicate particular subtle energy fields capable of influencing organs in different ways. Very few humans, maybe many cats, can see auras. But can you see the energy coming into your WiFi computer or cell phone? Yet, an effect is achieved on a material object. So much for this crude analogy of color or vibrational therapy basic theory.

Colored light energies are always present and do no harm, unlike electro magnetic radio frequencies which are invisible and often harmful. Even the UV rays of sunlight initiate the manufacture of Vitamin D3 in our bodies. It seems this is all easily understandable. But when colored light and water is introduced as physiological and psychological therapy, well, the woo-woo attitude tends to set in!

Yet both the Navy and NASA have been experimenting with color therapy in limited fashions. During the past several years, there has been the medical practice for treating premature babies with Bilirubin Syndrome (jaundice) by exposing them to blue light, although the methodology is somewhat different from Ghadiali’s.

Ellis Peterson, a retired math professor and electronics engineer who has been studying alternate healing treatments for over 30 years states, “I have personally studied Dinshah’s Color healing methods and I have one of his original Color projectors. I have used his color filters and projector for over 20 years and have found it’s curative, healing powers to be beyond words.”

I don’t know about you, despite my interest in alternative health modalities, I went for years without hearing about the use of color therapy until recently. To be honest, I may have come across it but quickly discounted it as not real, too simple, can’t work etc.. That is until recently thanks to a friend. When I took a more serious look at color therapy, what I found was both fascinating and eye opening. I have finished reading my first book on the topic and look forward to learning more.

Luckily, there are many resources available where you can learn more. The resources below were suggested to me by an authority in this field.

If you want to start learning about color therapy, I was told that all one needs to do was read these couple books:

• Spectro-Chrome Metry Encyclopedia
• Let There Be Light: The Healing Light of Spectro-Chrome

Other books that are related:

• Secret of Life
• Waves That Heal, The
• Red and Blue Light (Orig published 1877)
• New Light on Therapeutic Energies – Mark Gallert

Many of these books can be found (at a very affordable cost) here The World Research Foundation (WRF)

Amazon may have some of these books but they may be more costly on Amazon than through the WRF.

I just wanted to write a quick post and say “Baking Soda, What a Precious Salt!”  Baking soda can be used for so many things, from cooking to deodorizing,  it makes a good tooth paste, has anti fungal effects and can be used to wash hair and quickly eliminate dandruff. What a useful precious salt!

Do you use baking soda for things other than cooking?

Below you will see what wikipedia says about backing soda. Retrieved 10/27/2009 10PM CST.

Sodium bicarbonate or sodium hydrogen carbonate is the chemical compound with the formula NaHCO₃. Sodium bicarbonate is a white solid that is crystalline but often appears as a fine powder. It has a slight alkaline taste resembling that of washing soda (sodium carbonate). It is a component of the mineral natron and is found dissolved in many mineral springs. The natural mineral form is known as nahcolite. It is also produced artificially.

Since it has long been known and is widely used, the salt has many related names such as baking soda, bread soda, cooking soda, bicarbonate of soda. Colloquially, its name is shortened to sodium bicarb, bicarb soda, or simply bicarb. The word saleratus, from Latin sal æratus meaning “aerated salt“, was widely used in the 19th century for both sodium bicarbonate and potassium bicarbonate. The term has now fallen out of common usage.

Cooking

Sodium bicarbonate is primarily used in cooking (baking) where it reacts with other components to release carbon dioxide, that helps dough “rise”. The acidic compounds that induce this reaction include phosphates, cream of tartar, lemon juice, yogurt, buttermilk, cocoa, vinegar, etc. Sodium bicarbonate can be substituted for baking powder provided sufficient acid reagent is also added to the recipe.^[3] Many forms of baking powder contain sodium bicarbonate combined with one or more acidic phosphates (especially good) or cream of tartar. Can also be used for softening peas (⅛ tsp. per pint of water and bring to boil for one hour)

Thermal decomposition causes sodium bicarbonate alone to act as a raising agent by releasing carbon dioxide at baking temperatures. The mixture for cakes using this method can be allowed to stand before baking without any premature release of carbon dioxide.

Neutralization of acids and bases

Many laboratories keep a bottle of sodium bicarbonate powder within easy reach, because sodium bicarbonate is amphoteric, reacting with acids and bases. Furthermore, as it is relatively innocuous in most situations, there is no harm in using excess sodium bicarbonate. Lastly, sodium bicarbonate powder may be used to smother a small fire. ^[4]

A wide variety of applications follows from its neutralization properties, including ameliorating the effects of white phosphorus in incendiary bullets from spreading inside an afflicted soldier’s wounds.^[5] Sodium bicarbonate can be added as a simple solution for raising the pH balance of water (increasing total alkalinity) where high levels of chlorine (2-5 ppm) are present as in swimming pools and aquariums.^[6] Read more…

This is a good cartoon video titled ‘Why We Need Government-Run Universal Socialized Health Insurance‘. It explains why we need a public health insurance option or some sort of a government-run health system in the US.

The video compares Health Insurance to the fire department in a very effective manner. I’d like to add that fire departments used to be private and for profit in Chicago, then came the Chicago fire. After the Chicago fire the fire department was socialized to distribute risk and lower cost.

It’s ironic that nowadays fire department remain socialized, and work very well. We all expect the fire fighters to show up at a phone’s call, yet when your own body, your own intestines, brains, or heart are on fire (i.e. sick/ill) you cannot get the attention needed, since the system is so very broken.

Enjoy the video:

Animated by Andy Lubershane. More comics at http://www.earthlycomics.blogspot.com

Text transcript of the video:

Why we need government-run universal, socialized, call it what you want, health insurance.

We all know from basic civil class, or just being alive, that a lot of essential services are already government-run, universal, socialized, whatever you wanna call it.

Think water treatment, police, fire, postal service, coast guard, all those things you know are gonna be there for you, every single day without even thinking about them. We all pay our taxes and the government uses the money to pay for the things everyone needs just to get by.

Now, health care is just as essential as any of these services. Sure, a few of us may be lucky enough to make it through our whole lives without any medical problem but the rest of us depend on health care at some point in our lives just to get by. Besides its essentialness, there’s another reason health insurance is just like those government run, universal, socialized, whatever you wanna call them services, that’s this: There are very very few people that can afford to pay on their own the cost of health care when disaster strikes and they or someone they love gets really really sick.

So, we all need insurance, which basically means when we pool our money together enough so what when anyone of us gets really really sick there’s enough money in the pool to pay for that person to get better, that’s insurance.

But, who should we choose to manage the pool of our money and give out our money to the people who need it? Well, private insurance companies are the ones that we are using right now, but there’s a problem. On average, these companies take 10 – 20 cents out of every dollar we put in the pool.

Sarah Palin came out last week supposedly worried that people are going to die if health care reform occurs. She, in typical Republican fashion, dropped the term ‘death panels’.

I have news for you, death panels are already here and by doing nothing they will be here to stay. The reality now is that people are dying due to denied claims, pre-existing conditions and corporate bureaucracy that are all geared towards rationing care and maximizing profit.

When a CEO gets paid millions and gets a golden parachute on top of that, where do you think the money came from? Could it be ’sick people, in need of care, but denied it’?

The fact of the matter is that countless end up declaring bankruptcy as a result of medical debt, every minute. Over 60% of Americans declare bankruptcy due to medical bills, or die due to denied or delayed care and leave their spouses in bankruptcy. These things do not happen in other countries, maybe in third world countries, but not in industrialized countries, that is except for our country, here in the U.S.A.

We in the U.S. pay the most for medical services. We spend more money per capita on health care than any nation on Earth!  Yet we rank well below 36 other nations in timely and effective care, according to the World Health Organization. National health spending is expected to reach $2.5 trillion in 2009, accounting for 17.6 percent of the gross domestic product.

In the U.S. you get health care if you can afford it, you get care (that can mean the difference between life or death) if you can pay for it. Since the cost is skyrocketing and many are loosing their jobs, less people can afford this so called health care. In other words, less people can afford their right to life.

Is it the American way of doing things? Is American to penalize people for getting sick at no fault of their own, for being unfortunate to be in an accident or for having a birth defect? This is what’s going on now, people that cannot pay for health simply do not get health and die, or suffer, or go bankrupt or loose their homes.

Yes, I have news for you, corporate death panels exist now and they exist because they want to make profit, not to save lives.

We need to take profit out of health care or at least give people an option. Right now health insurance companies have a monopoly on all of health care industry, from ambulances, to doctors, procedures and medicine. I want more choice, I want to try a public option and compare it with what’s available now.

Believe me, “death panels” already exist, and they have nothing to do with the government.

By Froma Harrop

Please don’t take my word for it, I formed my opinion after hearing and reading many wrenching real-life stories. I will share with you just a few of these here. Horror stories of real people (like you and me) and the suffering they endured as a result of corporate bureaucracy, denial or running the clock out, these stories are in all honestly countless.

Let’s start with this story, by Froma Harrop. She wrote an Op-Ed column titled ‘Free-Market Death Panels’. I quote from her article:

“Death panels”? I’ll tell you about death panels. My husband faced one some years ago, and it didn’t involve any government bureaucrat. It was run by our private insurer, the sort of corporate entity that foes of health care reform say will give you anything you want.

My husband was diagnosed with liver cancer. We were “insured” by United Healthcare. The deal was as follows: You had to use doctors on its list, but if you needed specialized care outside the network, United’s health-maintenance organization would pay for it. Fair enough.

More than three out of every four Americans feel it is important to have a “choice” between a government-run health care insurance option and private coverage, according to a public opinion poll released on Thursday.

A new study by SurveyUSA puts support for a public option at a robust 77 percent, one percentage point higher than where it stood in June.

But the numbers tell another story, as well.

Earlier in the week, after pollsters for NBC dropped the word “choice” from their question on a public option, they found that only 43 percent of the public were in favor of “creating a public health care plan administered by the federal government that would compete directly with private health insurance companies.”

My opinion on the health care debate is that a public option for health care is essential. We (Citizens) need an OPTION.

Patriot Majority is airing radio ads on progressive talk radio shows urging listeners to call their Senators and Members of Congress and tell them to support healthcare reform.  Patriot Majority’s radio ads are running on the radio shows of Bill Press, Thom Hartmann, Stephanie Miller, Mike Malloy, Ed Schultz, Alan Combs, and the Reverend Al Sharpton.

Patriot Majority was formed in 2005 and is one of the most successful issue-advocacy groups in the United States.  Patriot Majority believes it is our patriotic duty as Americans to pursue policies that strengthen our national security, boost the economy, achieve energy independence, make health care affordable, provide quality education & protect public safety.

Tell Congress to Support REAL Healthcare Reform

THURSDAY, AUGUST 20, 2009 — Congress is listening.  Make your voice heard TODAY!  Email your Senators and Member of Congress immediately and tell them that you support real healthcare reform that includes a strong public option, an employer mandate and no tax on healthcare benefits.

If you have not read, and memorized, the Preamble to the United States Constitution you got to read it below. It’s just a short paragraph.

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

from: wikipedia.org

Many seem to interpret this paragraph differently. I can’t help but wonder what “promote the general Welfare” means and if it include the health of citizens.

I found this interpretation on wikipedia:

In interpreting whether the proposed project constituted a “public use,” the court pointed to the Preamble’s reference to “promot[ing] the general Welfare” as evidence that “[t]he health of the people was in the minds of our forefathers.”^[19] “[T]he concerted effort for renewal and expansion of hospital and medical care centers as a part of our nation’s system of hospitals, is as a public service and use within the highest meaning of such terms. Surely this is in accord with an objective of the United States Constitution: ‘* * * promote the general Welfare.’“^[20]

18^ Ellis, 257 F. Supp. at 527.

19^ Id. at 574 (emphasis added).

20^ Kinnebrew Motor Co., 8 F. Supp. at 539 (”Reference has been made in the government’s brief to the ‘Welfare Clause‘ of the Constitution as if certain powers could be derived by Congress from said clause. It is not necessary to indulge in an extended argument on this question for the reason that there is no such thing as the ‘Welfare Clause‘ of the Constitution.”).

I have my own opinions, which you would know if you’ve been following my writings. I do agree with the interpretation posted above.

The constitution was written with the union in mind, with the ‘we the people’ in mind.  It did not say we the corporations, or we the banks, we the elite, we the white men, and certainly not we the king (president, vice president, or supreme leader).

I guess, corporations think of themselves as people nowadays. This was not what ‘we the people’ stood for however. Corporations are not people and the constitution was not written to protect their rights, rather it was written to protect people’s and the union’s rights.

“We the people”, can this phrase be stated any simpler? It is all about us, US citizens and living human beings, about our welfare, justice, domestic tranquility, general welfare, and liberty from forces (other than the WE) that want to control our lives (i.e. kings, church, corporations etc).

Again, we the people have spoken.

A recent CBS/ New York Times poll found that 72 percent of Americans (50 percent of Republicans and 87 percent of Democrats) support a government-sponsored health care plan to compete with private insurers.

A clear majority of Americans — 72 percent — support a government-sponsored health care plan to compete with private insurers, a new CBS News/New York Times poll finds. Most also think the government would do a better job than private industry at keeping down costs and believe that the government should guarantee health care for all Americans.
