<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #0053a0; font-family: Lato, sans-serif, Arial; font-size: 26px; line-height: 30px;">Here is a story about how a 390 pound morbidly obese man, who just 3 months earlier had collapsed to the floor in agony, heart failing, sweat pouring down his face, fighting for breath as he lay on the floor on the verge of death, not only survived this ordeal, but was able to quickly and easily shed 142 pounds in just 90 days, transforming his health and adding years to his life expectancy in the process.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #0053a0; font-family: Lato, sans-serif, Arial; font-size: 26px; line-height: 30px;"><br /></span>
<div style="background-color: white; background-repeat: no-repeat; border: 0px; font-family: Lato, sans-serif, Arial; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
This is the story of how a man who doctors had warned would be dead inside 6 months, stunned the medical community, and forced doctors with decades of experience and knowledge of the human body to rethink everything they thought they knew about losing weight.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; background-repeat: no-repeat; border: 0px; font-family: Lato, sans-serif, Arial; font-size: 22px; font-weight: 700; line-height: 30px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
And remarkably, he did it without calorie counting… without gastric surgery… without starving himself… without medication… and without following any kind of diet AT ALL.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; background-repeat: no-repeat; border: 0px; color: #0053a0; font-family: Lato, sans-serif, Arial; font-size: 26px; line-height: 30px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
In fact, this man was able to effectively “trick” his body to melt away fat on a daily basis, without cutting out ANY of his favorite foods.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; background-repeat: no-repeat; border: 0px; font-family: Lato, sans-serif, Arial; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
And in just a second, you’re going to discover how to do this too.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; background-repeat: no-repeat; border: 0px; font-family: Lato, sans-serif, Arial; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
Based on breakthrough research carried out at the Center for Genome Sciences and Systems Biology at Washington University School of Medicine, and published in countless peer-reviewed medical journals, this controversial discovery has already been used to help 27,783 people lose weight quickly, easily and effortlessly, even if they’d found it impossible to lose even a single pound before.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; background-repeat: no-repeat; border: 0px; color: #0053a0; font-family: Lato, sans-serif, Arial; font-size: 26px; line-height: 30px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
This game-changing discovery, which has already made headline news in the Guardian, USA Today, the Scientific American, and The Washington Post, is cast-iron proof that your weight gain has NOTHING to do with calories….</div>
<div style="background-color: white; background-repeat: no-repeat; border: 0px; font-family: Lato, sans-serif, Arial; font-size: 22px; font-weight: 700; line-height: 30px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
NOTHING to do with your metabolism…</div>
<div style="background-color: white; background-repeat: no-repeat; border: 0px; color: #048994; font-family: Lato, sans-serif, Arial; font-size: 18px; font-weight: 700; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
NOTHING to do with what time you’re eating…</div>
<div style="background-color: white; background-repeat: no-repeat; border: 0px; color: #0053a0; font-family: Lato, sans-serif, Arial; font-size: 26px; line-height: 30px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
And incredibly, NOTHING to do with how much you eat, despite what the mainstream media and the medical profession has been telling you.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; background-repeat: no-repeat; border: 0px; font-family: Lato, sans-serif, Arial; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
… And is instead all down to a nasty ‘fat-building’ bacteria residing in your gut that is not only resulting in you gaining weight, but is also making it literally IMPOSSIBLE for you to shed that weight, and achieve the lean and toned physique that you want.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; background-repeat: no-repeat; border: 0px; font-family: Lato, sans-serif, Arial; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
But what’s really going to make you angry is that there’s a very simple solution to the problem – but it’s currently being suppressed by the greedy multi-billion dollar pharmaceutical industry who are doing everything in their power to keep this discovery hidden from the public, for reasons I’ll reveal very soon.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; background-repeat: no-repeat; border: 0px; color: #0053a0; font-family: Lato, sans-serif, Arial; font-size: 26px; line-height: 30px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
Surely, if these scientists had discovered that obesity is caused by an excess of Firmicutes in the gut, and lean people had more Bacteroidetes, then they would have created a simple treatment, like a drug, for example, to address the imbalance.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; background-repeat: no-repeat; border: 0px; font-family: Lato, sans-serif, Arial; font-size: 22px; font-weight: 700; line-height: 30px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
It would be the biggest single cure for obesity ever developed.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; background-repeat: no-repeat; border: 0px; font-family: Lato, sans-serif, Arial; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
Dr Forrest explained that he was a co-researcher on both the mice and human trials, and his team had been absolutely amazed at what they’d found. But, they couldn't get any money to further the studies..The biggest discovery in the world.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; background-repeat: no-repeat; border: 0px; color: #0053a0; font-family: Lato, sans-serif, Arial; font-size: 26px; line-height: 30px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
Dr Forrest was so disgusted by the situation, he quit, and never returned to medicine.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; background-repeat: no-repeat; border: 0px; font-family: Lato, sans-serif, Arial; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
And instead set out on a 3 year crusade to produce a treatment of his own.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; background-repeat: no-repeat; border: 0px; font-family: Lato, sans-serif, Arial; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
He knew that a drug wasn’t needed at all – because the fat-building bacteria could be dramatically reduced, and the slimming bacteria increased, using completely natural ingredients.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; background-repeat: no-repeat; border: 0px; color: #0053a0; font-family: Lato, sans-serif, Arial; font-size: 22px; font-weight: 700; line-height: 30px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
So he went underground, and began to put together a natural weight loss program designed to reduce Firmicutes, and increase Bacteroidetes in the human gut. (Firmicutes/Fatbuilding) (Bacteroidetes/BodyBuilding).</div>
<div style="background-color: white; background-repeat: no-repeat; border: 0px; font-family: Lato, sans-serif, Arial; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
During his research, he discovered that a high-fiber diet was key.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; background-repeat: no-repeat; border: 0px; color: #0053a0; font-family: Lato, sans-serif, Arial; font-size: 26px; line-height: 30px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
Dr Forrest also found that increasing a person’s levels of dietary fiber, helped to nourish the friendly “slimming” (Bacteroidetes) bacteria, and helped them grow in numbers.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; background-repeat: no-repeat; border: 0px; font-family: Lato, sans-serif, Arial; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
And the good news is, prebiotics or Firmicutes busting foods can be found in natural foods like garlic, onions, asparagus, beans and bananas, among other things.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; background-repeat: no-repeat; border: 0px; font-family: Lato, sans-serif, Arial; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-size: 22px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 30px;">According to Dr Forrest, over the next few years he developed the ultimate list of fat-burners – completely natural ingredients proven to regulate gut bacteria, and redress the balance between the fattening gut bacteria, and the slimming bacteria.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; background-repeat: no-repeat; border: 0px; color: #0053a0; font-family: Lato, sans-serif, Arial; font-size: 26px; line-height: 30px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
Dr Forrest’s Fat-Burning Bible.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; background-repeat: no-repeat; border: 0px; font-family: Lato, sans-serif, Arial; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
This simple weight loss protocol contains the exact step-by-step process that I took to lose 142 pounds in 90 days, transform my health, and save my life in the process.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; background-repeat: no-repeat; border: 0px; font-family: Lato, sans-serif, Arial; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
And whether you want to lose 5 pounds or 105 pounds, this program will help you get there quickly, easily, and safely.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; background-repeat: no-repeat; border: 0px; color: #0053a0; font-family: Lato, sans-serif, Arial; font-size: 22px; font-weight: 700; line-height: 30px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
In the Fat-Burning Bible, you will receive the most up-to-date and complete list of Dr Forrest’s miracle ingredients, scientifically proven to boost the numbers of slimming bacteria in your stomach, and lower the fat-boosting bacteria.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; background-repeat: no-repeat; border: 0px; font-family: Lato, sans-serif, Arial; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
As well as this list of fat-burning super foods, you will also be given a recipe guide and meal plan, which comes complete with 21 delicious and easy to prepare recipes for breakfast, lunch and dinner, which will remove all of the hard work, and allow you to include all of these ingredients in every single meal, so you can reach your ideal weight even faster!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; background-repeat: no-repeat; border: 0px; color: #0053a0; font-family: Lato, sans-serif, Arial; font-size: 26px; line-height: 30px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
All you need to do is swap out certain foods for others, and add specific natural ingredients to your meals, which will help you to reduce, or even wipe out the fat-building bacteria that right now, are multiplying in your stomach and turning virtually everything you eat into stored fat.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; background-repeat: no-repeat; border: 0px; font-family: Lato, sans-serif, Arial; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
And what’s more, these completely natural ingredients can be picked up at your local grocery store, for no more than a few pennies.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; background-repeat: no-repeat; border: 0px; font-family: Lato, sans-serif, Arial; font-size: 22px; font-weight: 700; line-height: 30px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
That’s literally all it takes to start repopulating your stomach with friendly slimming bacteria, kill off the bad bacteria, and start losing weight.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; background-repeat: no-repeat; border: 0px; font-family: Lato, sans-serif, Arial; font-size: 22px; font-weight: 700; line-height: 30px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
We will offer you a 60-day money back guarantee.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; background-repeat: no-repeat; border: 0px; font-family: Lato, sans-serif, Arial; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
You can then put the program to the test for a full 2 months, try out all the ingredients, the delicious recipes, and the two bonuses, and if you don’t achieve the weight loss you’d hoped for, or you simply change your mind for any reason at all, then simply send me an email and I will refund every single penny of your investment with no questions asked.</div>

HELP Yourself with these tools....<span style="font-size: 14px;">Cortisol, known as
the "stress hormone," is integral to our body's "fight or flight"
response.<br /><br />Originally designed to help us survive life in the wild, the
"fight or flight" response was essential when our ancient ancestors were faced
with sudden, brief danger like, let's say, a tiger.<br /><br />However useful in
short bursts, releasing cortisol too frequently, as we seem to be doing in
response to the ongoing or "chronic" stress of modern life, may have serious,
even scary, impacts on our physical, mental and emotional health.<br /><br />In
fact, living in this kind of biological "survival mode" may be making us more
vulnerable to everything from cancer to heart disease, and more.<br /><br />New
research, however, is showing one technique extremely effective in helping to
reduce cortisol levels.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span>

<div style="padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-size: 18px;"><strong><span style="color: #1230a8;">The Importance of
Breathing...</span></strong></span></div>
<div style="padding: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-size: 14px;"><img align="right" height="248" src="http://staticapp.icpsc.com/icp/loadimage.php/mogile/762920/3914724a5fb9ff379165ed71448999dc/image/jpeg" style="border-bottom: #000000 0px solid; border-left: #000000 0px solid; border-right: #000000 0px solid; border-top: #000000 0px solid; float: right; height: 248px; margin: 0px; width: 215px;" width="215" /></span></div>
<div style="padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"What if I told you there
was an amazing medicine that would drastically reduce your risk of cancer,
improve your digestion, and help to eliminate stress and anxiety from your
life. We would be talking about a modern miracle cure, right?<br /><br />Did I
mention that this medicine is 100% free? In fact it's right next to you as you
read this!<br /><br />The medicine I'm referring to is FRESH AIR!!<br /><br />But the
percentage of people who actually breath correctly (for optimal health at
least!) is startlingly small. As crazy as it sounds, over 75% of us are not
breathing properly and as a result are suffering from a shortage of fresh air to
our lungs and oxygen to our cells.<br /><br />The respiratory system is very unique
in that it can be controlled both involuntarily (while we sleep for instance)
and voluntarily (during meditation). The involuntary "auto-pilot" feature of
our respiratory system is both a blessing and curse. It's a blessing because,
well, it keeps us alive while we sleep! And a curse because we tend to forget
that we have full control of the cockpit."</span></span></div>
<div style="padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></div>
<h3 style="border: 0px; color: #1f3240; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 24px; font-weight: normal; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; vertical-align: baseline;">
What does breathing do?</h3>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #1e3544; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
First off, breathing brings much needed oxygen to your blood cells. Inspire is the latin word for “breath in the spirit”. So the word inspiration has two meanings </div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #1e3544; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<br /></div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #1e3544; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
1) To be filled with the urge to create or act.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #1e3544; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<br /></div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #1e3544; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
2) It is the scientific term for taking air into the lungs, crazy right? I don’t make this stuff up, I just report it to you. From now on, if your feeling uninspired, well you know the first thing you should be doing more of........</div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #1e3544; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="border: 0px; color: #1f3240; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 24px; font-weight: normal; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The health benefits of breathing:</h3>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #1e3544; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
- 70% of all Elimination happens through the lungs in the form of gases and tiny particles.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #1e3544; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
- Deep breathing has a massaging effect on the internal organs.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #1e3544; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
- Correct inspiration and expiration is essential to healthy digestion. (Again the expansion of the lung cavity helps to massage internal organs including the intestines.)</div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #1e3544; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
- An abundant supply of fresh air provides your blood cells with the oxygen they need to function properly. Healthy cells should be receiving 98-99% O2 saturation – when you get lower than that, you’re asking for trouble. In fact, lack of oxygen in blood cells has been linked to the formation of cancerous cells.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #1e3544; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
In 1931 Otto Heinrich Warburg won the Nobel Peace Prize for proving that cancerous cells were caused by a lack of oxygen respiration. Here’s what Dr Warburg had to say:</div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #1e3544; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
“The cause of cancer is no longer a mystery, we know it occurs whenever any cell is denied 60% of its oxygen requirements.”</div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #1e3544; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
“Cancer, above all other diseases, has countless secondary causes. But, even for cancer, there is only one prime cause.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #1e3544; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Summarized in a few words, the prime cause of cancer is the replacement of the respiration of oxygen in normal body cells by a fermentation of sugar. All normal body cells meet their energy needs by respiration of oxygen, whereas cancer cells meet their energy needs in great part by fermentation. All normal body cells are thus obligate aerobes, whereas all cancer cells are partial anaerobes.”</div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #1e3544; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Good breathing is something that we all need to focus on more, even you yogi’s and yogini’s out there! It could be the easiest way for us to improve our health and prevent any problems down road.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #1e3544; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="border: 0px; color: #1f3240; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 24px; font-weight: normal; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; vertical-align: baseline;">
A simple breathing exercise to try right now:</h3>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #1e3544; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
A great way to build your breath and promote naturally fuller breathing is by intentionally exhaling all of your breath completely. Most of us are not completely eliminating all of the old, stale air that lingers in bottom of our lungs. Here's a good way to push out the old and usher in the new:</div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #1e3544; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<br /></div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #1e3544; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
1.) Take a nice big breath</div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #1e3544; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<br />2.) Slowly release this breath until the point where you would naturally stop exhaling, then gently squeeze out a little more air.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #1e3544; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<br />3.) Repeat this exercise five times.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #1e3544; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<br /></div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #1e3544; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
This practice will help bring more fresh oxygen into your respiratory system and will also begin to strengthen the muscles in your ribcage.

<div style="color: #990000; font-family: verdana; font-size: 50px; margin-bottom: 1em; text-align: center;">
<strong>The
Real Reason<br />Why You Are Tired<br />All the Time.</strong></div>
<div style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 26px; margin-bottom: 1em; text-align: center;">
<strong>HINT:
It’s probably NOT due to poor diet, iron-poor blood, or a sluggish
thyroid.</strong></div>
<div style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1em;">
</div>
<div style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1em;">
Derek
P. was 63 but he always acted way younger than his years. He had a ton of
energy, a quick mind and in general was “Mr. Enthusiasm.” Nothing ever got him
down.</div>
<div style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1em;">
But
now, Derek was tired every day. He couldn’t get through the afternoon without
taking a nap and hardly plays golf anymore. The other thing was Derek’s memory —
it wasn’t nearly as sharp as it used to be. And he quickly became depressed over
things that never would have bothered him a few years ago. </div>
<div style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1em;">
Derek’s
regular doctor thought his symptoms were due to his age. But Derek passed his
physical with flying colors and all of his blood tests were normal. His doctor
was stumped.</div>
<div style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1em;">
By
the time Derek came to see me, he had been this way for several months — with no
relief in sight. First, I gave him a complete physical. Then, I ordered a blood
test that checked for specific levels of stress hormones. </div>
<div style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1em;">
Derek
also had a positive “tilt test”. This is a test where Derek was put on a table
that lies flat, and then gradually rises as I monitor his heart rate and blood
pressure.</div>
<div style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1em;">
After
evaluating the results, I placed Derek on a very simple, all-natural program.
How well did the treatment work? When Derek returned two weeks later he was
“Mr. Enthusiasm” again. He felt great, his depression was gone and his memory
was back. He had enough energy play his weekly golf game again, too. </div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="color: #990000; font-family: verdana; font-size: 20px; margin-bottom: 1em; text-align: center;">
<strong>The
<u>Real</u> Reason Why You Have No Energy Even Though Your Doctor Says You’re
Fine</strong></div>
<div style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1em;">
You
see, what Derek did not know is that he had all the classic symptoms of one of
the most overlooked health problems facing Americans today.</div>
<div style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1em;">
It’s
a condition that’s largely ignored by mainstream medicine. Even worse, the few
doctors who do recognize it don’t do <u>nearly enough</u> to treat it! </div>
<div style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1em;">
Meanwhile,
this condition causes millions of people to suffer from unexplained fatigue
…brain fog … depression… food cravings … and low immune function. Headaches,
allergies, and difficulty bouncing back from stress are common signs, too.</div>
<div style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1em;">
So
what is this problem? Well, it’s not your heart, your blood sugar, or your
brain. And it’s not the aging process, either.<strong> </strong></div>
<div style="color: #990000; font-family: verdana; font-size: 20px; margin-bottom: 1em; text-align: center;">
<strong>It’s
Your Adrenal Glands!</strong></div>
<div style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1em;">
Your
adrenals are triangular-shaped glands that sit right on top of your kidneys.
They may not look important—but ignore them at your peril!</div>
<div style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1em;">
These
walnut-sized glands produce more than 50 different hormones, many of which are
essential for energy and stamina, a sharp mind, a strong immune system, and a
healthy libido. But the #1 function of your adrenal glands is to help your body
deal with stress. </div>
<div style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1em;">
When
you body faces any kind of danger, your defenses kick into high gear in a rapid,
automatic process known as the “fight-or-flight” reaction. Your adrenals
respond by pumping out adrenaline, cortisol, and DHEA. Your heart rate and blood
pressure increase, your digestion slows, and your body becomes ready to face a
potential challenge. This helps you stay focused, energetic, and alert so you
can handle the situation. </div>
<div style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1em;">
Once
your stressful event is over, your adrenaline level drops pretty quickly. Other
stress hormones like cortisol and DHEA help refuel your body and bring it back
to balance. This process is fine if the stress you’re dealing with is sudden and
short-lived, like maybe getting in a fender-bender or taking an important test.
<br />But here’s the problem…</div>
<div style="color: #990000; font-family: verdana; font-size: 20px; margin-bottom: 1em; text-align: center;">
<strong>Modern
Life is Devastating to Your Adrenal Health!</strong></div>
<div style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1em;">
Today,
you’re faced with stress 24/7. The demands of career and family pull you in a
million different directions. You worry about your kids and grandkids. You
struggle to make ends meet. You’re under the gun with work deadlines. Your
finances hit a snag and you feel anxious about your future. </div>
<div style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1em;">
Even
simple things like traffic jams, long checkout lines, and a difficult commute
all jolt your adrenal glands. Factor in environmental toxins, processed foods
infections, pain, insomnia, and allergies, and it’s no wonder why your adrenal
glands are crying out for help! </div>
<div style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1em;">
Basically,
the more stress you experience, the harder your adrenals must work to protect
you. So how do your adrenals react to all this stimuli month after month, year
after year? Eventually they run out of juice and before you know it, <em>you’re
running on empty.</em> </div>
<div style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1em;">
When
your adrenal glands stop working, the first thing you notice is that your
symptoms start to intensify. You can’t sleep at night, you become forgetful,
you feel irritable or depressed without knowing why. </div>
<div style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1em;">
Other
signs of adrenal fatigue include headaches, especially in the afternoon,
elevated blood sugar levels, weight gain, and slow recovery from a cold or flu —
to name just a few.</div>
<div style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1em;">
But
more than anything, adrenal failure makes you feel <u>exhausted</u>. And it’s a
fatigue that isn’t just about feeling tired or sleepy. It’s a form of fatigue
that causes you to feel completely drained — and usually hits around 2 or 3 in
the afternoon.</div>
<div style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<img align="right" height="617" src="http://securepubs.com/graphics/Adrenal-sidebar2.jpg" width="300" />Let me tell you about my own experience with adrenal failure. I had
been working too hard, sleeping too little, drinking too much coffee, and
exercising too hard for a few weeks. It was also that time of year when the sage
was in bloom, and I am very allergic to sage. I remember sitting on the couch
just feeling exhausted. But it was a different kind of feeling than I had ever
felt before. </div>
<div style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1em;">
The
TV was on a program that I did not want to watch. I couldn’t stand the
program. The channel changer was right on the coffee table before me. Not a
problem right? But it was a problem. I was too tired to pick it up and change
the channel. </div>
<div style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1em;">
So
I just sat there and stared out the window. I wasn’t sleepy. I was just feeling
too drained to even push a button. I’ll never forget that feeling. And when I
tell my patients that story, they always say, “That’s just how I feel.” That
kind of fatigue is diagnostic of adrenal exhaustion. </div>
<div style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1em;">
Little
wonder why more than half of my patients who complain of allergies, chronic
fatigue, depression, or other health problems <em>actually suffer from
overworked adrenals</em>.</div>
<div style="color: #990000; font-family: verdana; font-size: 20px; margin-bottom: 1em; text-align: center;">
<strong>Your
Resiliency, Energy, Endurance and Your Very Life</strong><strong>All Depend
on Healthy Adrenal Glands</strong><strong> </strong></div>
<div style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1em;">
You
might think that adrenal failure is something that affects only a small number
of people. But when you consider our insatiable addiction to coffee and energy
drinks, the scale of the problem is actually <u>huge</u>. Believe it or not an
estimated 80% of people experience adrenal fatigue at some point in their lives.
<em>Yet mainstream medicine barely knows it exists! </em> </div>
<div style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<strong>But
here’s the good news:</strong> adrenal fatigue does <u>not</u> have to be
permanent. In fact, you can restore your adrenals to perfect health within a few
months. All you have to you is nourish and strengthen your adrenals while
giving them a chance to rest and rebuild. </div>
<div style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1em;">
First,
I recommend four particular nutrients that directly support adrenal function.
They work together to help restore and repair your adrenals to get them back on
line. </div>
<div style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1em;">
Let
me tell you about the first one now. It’s one of the most important nutrients
for anyone with adrenal failure and also known as…</div>
<div style="color: #990000; font-family: verdana; font-size: 20px; margin-bottom: 1em; text-align: center;">
<strong>The
“Anti-Stress Vitamin”</strong></div>
<div style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1em;">
While
you know about B-complex vitamins like B6 and B12, you’re probably less familiar
with <strong>Vitamin B5</strong>—also known as <strong>Pantothenic
Acid.</strong> </div>
<div style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1em;">
People
with adrenal failure are nearly <u>always</u> deficient in this key nutrient.
According to studies, this member of the “B” family helps increase levels of
important stress hormones like cortisol and progesterone.</div>
<div style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1em;">
Another
thing pantothenic acid does is relieve that extra anxiety you feel when you’re
“stressed out”. The reason? It helps boost dopamine levels in the brain.
Dopamine is the feel good hormone that improves your state of mind. </div>
<div style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1em;">
Pantothenic
acid is also one of the best nutrients for cellular energy production. So it can
help your heart and your brain get the fuel they need to do their job every
day—while keeping your entire body energized, too.</div>
<div style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1em;">
While
pantothenic acid is my first recommendation for supporting adrenal health, you
should also know about this additional re-energizing “partner.”</div>
<div style="color: #990000; font-family: verdana; font-size: 20px; margin-bottom: 1em; text-align: center;">
<strong>Keep
Stress Hormones in Healthy Balance — Naturally </strong></div>
<div style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<strong>Licorice
root</strong> is a rich source of a compound called glycyrrhizin, which gets
converted to glycyrrhetinic acid (GA) in the intestine. GA helps slow down the
body’s breakdown of cortisol, giving your adrenals extra support. </div>
<div style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1em;">
What’s
more, Licorice root also balances levels of <em>aldosterone</em>, an adrenal
hormone that helps keep your blood pressure, fluid levels and electrolytes in
balance. </div>
<div style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1em;">
When
aldosterone gets too high, your blood pressure skyrockets and your potassium
levels decline. This causes muscle aches and numbness in your hands and
feet.</div>
<div style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1em;">
But
when aldosterone gets too low — which is common in many people with adrenal
problems — your blood pressure plummets. This leads to palpitations, dizziness
when you stand up, and overall fatigue. So licorice root keeps you more in
balance and better able to cope during times of stress. It soothes nervous
stomachs, too. </div>
<div style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1em;">
As
you can see, pantothenic acid and licorice root can have a profound impact on
your adrenal health and energy levels. Now, I’d like to tell you about a third
nutrient that’s crucial for keeping adrenals in top-notch form. Yet you’ll
rarely find it in any adrenal formula! </div>
<div style="color: #990000; font-family: verdana; font-size: 20px; margin-bottom: 1em; text-align: center;">
<strong>Did
You Know That Overworked Adrenals <br />Affect Liver Function as
Well?</strong></div>
<div style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1em;">
It’s
true. When you protect your liver, you boost the health of your entire body but
<u>especially</u> your adrenal glands. </div>
<div style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1em;">
Constant
exposure to pesticides, heavy metals, food chemicals and air pollution means
your liver and adrenals are constantly fighting off toxins. That’s why I added
<strong>Liver</strong> <strong>Concentrate</strong> to my short list. Liver
concentrate is a natural detoxifier, as well as a great source of B vitamins,
protein, iron and enzymes.</div>
<div style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1em;">
In
one study conducted at the University of Southern California, subjects eating a
standard diet plus B vitamins could swim only 13 minutes. Meanwhile, subjects
eating a standard diet plus liver concentrate could swim for over an hour--and
some were still swimming at the end of the 2–hour mark! That’s 8 times longer!</div>

<br />
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #777777; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode', sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15.699999809265137px; margin-bottom: 1.3em; padding: 0px;">
Colon hydrotherapy, also known as colonic irrigation can give you the perfect, internal spring clean and much needed detox. It is like a gentle internal bath which allows a steady flow of warm filtered water into the colon through the rectum. The therapist uses massage techniques on the abdomen to stimulate the colon to release waste and encourage muscle tone. Accumulated toxic waste such as impacted faecal material, toxins, dead cellular material, worms, yeast overgrowth, and pesticides are piped away with the waste water. The whole process is hygienic and odourless. The treatment cleanses years of excess waste, pollutants and toxic substances.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #777777; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode', sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15.699999809265137px; margin-bottom: 1.3em; padding: 0px;">
If you are screwing up your face right now, honestly it’s nothing to be scared of - it is a completely safe, discrete and natural procedure. Once you realise the huge benefits it has to offer then you’ll hopefully move beyond any embarrassment that may have stopped you from trying it out before.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #777777; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode', sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15.699999809265137px; margin-bottom: 1.3em; padding: 0px;">
It has been said that at least 80% of disease is related to a toxic colon. Your colon could be a breeding ground for disease, sickness and even death. Now maybe I’ve got your attention!</div>
<h4 style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #777777; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode', sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15.699999809265137px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">

The large intestine (colon) is about 4.9 feet (1.5 m) long with the rectum located at the end. It is responsible for the elimination of food and other body waste, it assists the absorption of vitamins and minerals into the body, and helps protect us from infection and disease. The delicate balance of the colon can easily be disturbed by a number of factors, including stress, pollution, electromagnetic chaos, poor diet, alcohol, drugs, lack of exercise and exposure to toxic substances.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #777777; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode', sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15.699999809265137px; margin-bottom: 1.3em; padding: 0px;">
Many experts believe that the average person has 5-20 pounds of accumulated waste matter in their colon, while a person with a toxic colon can carry have 40 pounds or more. All this poisonous waste could be playing havoc with your body and vital organs and unless you do something about it, you’ll continue to carry it around with you!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #777777; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode', sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15.699999809265137px; margin-bottom: 1.3em; padding: 0px;">
Recent European studies have revealed that 80% of immune tissues reside in the intestines. According to Dr. Andreas Diefenbach who led the research - "This is the first time anyone has shown that changes in the natural intestinal flora resulting from antibiotics, hygiene, or lifestyle can have substantial consequences for the entire immune system."</div>

A strong immune system is essential for great health. The next time you or your loved ones are suffering with ill health, maybe colonic hydrotherapy should be your first port of call. Clearing out your colon, will clean up your health!</div>
<h4 style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #777777; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode', sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15.699999809265137px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
So why is colon hydrotherapy so great?</h4>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #777777; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode', sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15.699999809265137px; margin-bottom: 1.3em; padding: 0px;">
It cleanses and detoxifies the colon. The whole process has a rejuvenating effect on the body, improving the immune function, mental clarity and increasing energy levels. With regular colonics, you can expect to see clearer skin, relief from bloating, IBS and constipation, improved immune function and weight loss.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #777777; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode', sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15.699999809265137px; margin-bottom: 1.3em; padding: 0px;">
Colon hydrotherapy exercises the colon muscles. Over time the muscles tone up to allow improved and speedier elimination of everyday waste. This is why it is especially helpful for those who suffer from constipation.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #777777; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode', sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15.699999809265137px; margin-bottom: 1.3em; padding: 0px;">
Colon hydrotherapy reshapes the colon – blockages can alter the shape of the colon which can create further health issues. Regular colonics help the colon to return to its natural state.</div>

<span style="font-size: medium;">We all think eating fruits means just buying fruits, cutting
it and just popping</span></div>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
it into our mouths. It's not as easy as you
think. It's important to know how</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
and when to
eat.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
What is the correct way of eating fruits
?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
IT MEANS NOT EATING FRUITS AFTER YOUR MEALS !
* FRUITS SHOULD BE EATEN ON AN EMPTY STOMACH.</div>
</span></div>

<blockquote type="cite">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">If
you eat fruit like that, it will play a major role to detoxify your
system,</span></div>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
supplying you with a great deal of energy for weight

<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
FRUIT
IS THE MOST IMPORTANT FOOD.Let's say you eat two slices of bread and
then a slice of fruit. The slice of fruit is ready to go
straight through the stomach into the intestines, but it is
prevented from doing so.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In
the meantime the whole meal rots and ferments and turns to acid. The
minute the fruit comes into contact with the food in the stomach
and digestive juices, the entire mass of food begins to
spoil....</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So please eat your
fruits on an empty stomach or before your meals ! You have heard
people complaining - every time I eat watermelon I burp, when I eat
durian my stomach bloats up, when I eat a banana I feel like
running to the toilet, etc. Actually all this will not arise if
you eat the fruit on an empty stomach. The fruit mixes with the
putrefying other food and produces gas and hence you will bloat
!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Graying hair, balding,
nervous outburst, and dark circles under the eyesall</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
these will
NOT happen if you take fruits on an empty
stomach.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There is no such
thing as some fruits, like orange and lemon are acidic,
because all fruits become alkaline in our body, according to Dr.
Herbert Shelton who did research on this matter. If you have
mastered the correct way of eating fruits, you have the Secret
of beauty, longevity, health, energy, happiness and
normal weight.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When
you need to drink fruit juice - drink only fresh fruit juice, NOT from
the</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
cans. Don't even drink juice that has been heated up. Don't
eat cooked fruits</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
because you don't get the nutrients at all.
You only get to taste. Cooking</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
destroys all the
vitamins.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But eating a whole
fruit is better than drinking the juice. If you should drink</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
the
juice, drink it mouthful by mouthful slowly, because you must let it
mix</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
with your saliva before swallowing it. You can go on a 3-day
fruit fast to</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
cleanse your body. Just eat fruits and drink fruit
juice throughout the 3 days</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
and you will be surprised when your
friends tell you how radiant you look
!</div>

But there's a powerful solution to magnesium deficiency ... and it's <u>not</u> by taking magnesium pills and powders. Read on to discover the breakthrough solution. <br />
</span><span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Georgia;"><b>This Undetected Deficiency Has <u>Dangerous</u> Risks</b> </span><span style="font-family: Arial;"><br />
<br />
I<img align="right" alt="Low-Grade Symptoms" border="1" height="200" src="http://www.1minutecure.com/MotherSad-ConcernedDaughter.jpg" width="133" />nitial symptoms of magnesium deficiency are usually <i>subtle.</i> It may start with aches and pains ... that rundown feeling ... or any other low-grade symptoms that you (or your doctor) can't explain. <br />
<br />
And since most magnesium is stored in the tissues, the first signs may be leg cramps, foot pain, or muscle twitches. Other symptoms can gradually develop, including, but not limited to: high blood pressure ... anxiety ... asthma ... inability to get into deep sleep ... restless legs ... blood sugar imbalances ... abnormal heart rhythms ... chest pains ... kidney stones ... and many other symptoms. <br />
<br />
But be <u>forewarned</u>: Although the symptoms might be subtle or mild at first, magnesium deficiency is a <b>dangerous condition</b>—and chronic deficiency can produce <i>long-term damage</i> and even be <span style="color: #cc0000;"><b><i>fatal</i></b></span>. </span></div><div align="left"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><br />
</span></div><div align="left"><span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Georgia;"><b>Can Magnesium Deficiency Cause Cancer?</b> </span><span style="font-family: Arial;"><br />
</span></div><div align="left"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Some leading researchers say it can <u>indeed</u> cause cancer. Consider the following studies showing a link between magnesium deficiency and cancer: </span></div><br />
<ul><span style="font-family: Arial;"><img border="0" height="10" src="http://www.1minutecure.com/bullet_box_maroon.jpg" width="10" /> A Polish study concluded that inadequate magnesium is an important risk factor in predisposing individuals to <b>leukemia</b>.
<img border="0" height="10" src="http://www.1minutecure.com/bullet_box_maroon.jpg" width="10" /> Other researchers found that 46% of the patients admitted to an intensive care unit in a tertiary cancer center presented as deficient in magnesium (hypomagnesemia).
<img border="0" height="10" src="http://www.1minutecure.com/bullet_box_maroon.jpg" width="10" /> Animal studies show that magnesium deficiency has caused lymphopoietic neoplasms in young rats.
<img border="0" height="10" src="http://www.1minutecure.com/bullet_box_maroon.jpg" width="10" /> Researchers from the School of Public Health at the University of Minnesota concluded that <span style="background-color: yellow;"><b>diets rich in magnesium reduced the occurrence of colon cancer</b></span>. A previous study from Sweden reported that women with the highest magnesium intake had a <b>40% lower risk of developing the cancer </b>than those with the lowest intake.
<img border="0" height="10" src="http://www.1minutecure.com/bullet_box_maroon.jpg" width="10" /> Several studies have shown an <b>increased cancer rate in regions with low magnesium levels</b> in soil and drinking water. In Egypt, the cancer rate was only about 10% of that in Europe and America. Among the rural fellah (peasants and agricultural laborers), it was practically non-existent. These <span style="background-color: yellow;"><b>cancer-free populations have an extremely high magnesium intake</b></span> of 2.5 to 3g—which is 10 times more than in most Western countries.
<img border="0" height="10" src="http://www.1minutecure.com/bullet_box_maroon.jpg" width="10" /> The School of Public Health at the Kaohsiung Medical College in Taiwan found that magnesium exerts a protective effect against <b>gastric cancer</b>, but only for the group with the highest magnesium levels. </span></ul><br />
<br />
<div align="left"><span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Georgia;"><b><u>Warning</u>: Majority Of Magnesium Supplements Not Only Fail To Deliver Results—But Many are <u>Harmful To Your Health</u>!</b> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"> Virtually <u>every</u> <u>magnesium</u> <u>supplement</u> that we investigated was found to contain <span style="background-color: yellow;"><b>unacceptable levels of contaminants and impurities</b></span>. This is because the companies that make them have used the cheapest possible magnesium raw materials. <br />
<br />
Therefore, those supplements deliver very little or no beneficial effect at all—and are proven to be harmful in many ways when ingested orally. Magnesium pills, for example, cannot be properly digested or absorbed by the body, and therefore, leave a load of unused magnesium in the body that overload and <b>threaten the functioning of the liver and kidneys</b>. <br />
<br />
Powdered magnesium supplements, on the other hand, deliver too-quick absorption which causes a laxative effect that ironically results in <b>further magnesium loss</b>. <br />
<br />
Dr. Carolyn Dean, M.D., N.D., author of <i>The Magnesium Miracle, </i>suggests that the most superior form of magnesium supplementation may very well be a super saturated solution of magnesium chloride administered through a convenient <span style="color: #cc0000;"><b><i>transdermal spray</i></b></span>. These sprays are applied to high-circulation areas on the skin, allowing for <b>easy absorption into the bloodstream</b>. Transdermal magnesium can help your body maintain optimal magnesium levels—<u>without</u> the drawbacks of other supplement forms—because your body only absorbs the magnesium it needs. <br />
</span><span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Georgia;"><b>Magnesium is a Crucial Nutrient Because It Supports Over 300 Functions in the Body—and Helps Prevent Serious Diseases </b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><img align="right" alt="Dead Sea Minerals" border="1" height="132" src="http://www.1minutecure.com/DeadSea.jpg" width="200" /> <br />
There is ONLY one commercially available magnesium product that is <u>perfectly compatible</u> and <u>safe</u> for your body—and there exists <i>actual validation </i>proving this to be true. This transdermal spray is made of ultra-pure "Pharmaceutical Grade" Magnesium Chloride Hexahydrate extracted from Dead Sea minerals ... which means it is <b>instantly compatible with human blood plasma</b>. <br />
<br />
The spray contains magnesium in a <span style="background-color: yellow;"><b>"Fully Saturated" fluid form that is absorbed through your skin <u>on contact</u></b></span>. And best of all, unlike other magnesium supplements on the market, it is completely free of heavy metals, environmental toxins, and any other contaminants. <br />

They don't use pesticides, antibiotics, growth hormones or chemical fertilisers.<br />
<br />
Organic foods are nutritionally dense compared to foods produced with toxic chemicals, <br />
chemical fertilisers and GMO seeds. Studies show that they contain more vitamins, <br />
cancer fighting anti-oxidants and important trace minerals than non-organic. <br />
<br />
Organic food faces a lot of criticism about the cost, the validity and of course the quality.<br />
If you're paying for organic then that's what you would expect but is that always the case? <br />
It's wrong to allow producers to use the organic label when it's not 100% and they're using <br />
pesticides but on some occasions produce is named organic because it may have one or <br />
two ingredients which are organic so it's always good to check the full ingredients and <br />
the labelling.<br />
<br />
However, does an organic label mean a much better flavour? A US Schoolgirl ran a school <br />
project called the 'Potato Project' which is simple evidence that Organic is best! <br />

<div align="center"><span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 14pt;"><b>The Shockingly Effective Strategy for Melting Pounds...<br />
...<i>and you can do it even while you sleep</i> </b></span></div><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 24pt;"><b>T</b></span><span style="font-family: Arial;">rying to shed excess weight is a difficult thing to do at any age—but more particularly <b>when you're over the age of 40</b>. Age-related weight problems happen not just because your metabolism becomes slower but also because ... hormonal changes lead to sluggish digestion ... fewer calories are burned ... and cell growth slows down dramatically.<br />
</span><span style="font-family: Arial;"><img align="right" height="175" src="http://www.1minutecure.com/woman_on_scale.jpg" style="padding-left: 10px;" width="250" /> If you can't seem to lose those excess pounds, or have reached a plateau and can't get the scale to move any further, the reason may very well be ... <b>weight loss resistance</b>.<br />
<br />
This simply means that you are unable to lose fat or weight, even though you're dieting or exercising. This resistance is caused by a variety of factors, such as hormonal imbalances ... thyroid deficiency ... toxins from food, water and air ... low testosterone ... estrogen/progesterone imbalances ... or excess cortisol levels (due to chronic stress).<br />
</span><span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Georgia;"><b>Why You May Be Causing Your Body to Become a Fat-Absorbing Machine!</b><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: Arial;">Most fitness gurus advise you to reduce the number of calories you consume if you want to overcome this weight loss resistance. But if you do this, it <i>backfires</i> on you. If you go on a restricted-calorie diet, your metabolism <b>slows down to a crawl</b>.<br />
<br />
Why?<br />
<br />
Because when you restrict your food intake, or starve yourself in any way, your body switches on its survival mechanisms. When it detects food as being scarce, it does 2 things:<br />
<ol><li>It <b>slows down your metabolic rate</b> so as to conserve the usage of food, which is its fuel to stay alive; and <br />
</li>
<li>It starts <b>storing food as fat</b> so as to stockpile ample reserves for what it perceives are lean times ahead. </li>
</ol>In other words, when the body senses that it's being starved, it activates genes that are designed to hang on to your fat! Your body actually becomes a <i>fat-absorbing machine!</i><br />
</span><span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Georgia;"><b>Pushing Past Resistance to Reach Your Ideal Weight</b><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: Arial;">Some of the nation's foremost nutrition experts are turning their clients toward a powerful answer to the dilemma of resistance. That answer is <b>paraliminal programming</b> ... and it is <i>shockingly effective for melting pounds</i>.<br />
<br />
A growing number of prominent business and entertainment celebrities are using paraliminals to transform and succeed in all areas of life. Many of them are talking openly about their results, including Jack Canfield of <i>Chicken Soup for the Soul</i> and the 10-time Grammy winner Chaka Khan.<br />
</span><span style="font-family: Arial;"><img align="left" src="http://www.1minutecure.com/Weight_loss_goal_small_image.jpg" style="padding-right: 10px;" /> Athletes and fitness experts are also discovering paraliminals, and increasingly they are using paraliminals to push through resistance and achieve extraordinary results. For many, paraliminals are the tool that finally <b>knocks down the barriers to achieving and maintaining ideal weight</b>. <br />
<br />
That's because with paraliminals, you learn to eat with heightened awareness. You find yourself consistently and effortlessly selecting the right foods in the right quantities to meet your nutritional needs—<i>and drop pounds.</i><br />
<br />
As you relax and listen through headphones, paraliminal CDs "send multilevel communications to each hemisphere of the brain so that you begin to trust your body's signals."<br />
</span><span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Georgia;"><b>Paraliminals Work—Even While You Sleep</b><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: Arial;">Paraliminals combine breakthrough technologies of neurolinguistic programming with whole-brain learning and more than two decades of research and fieldwork by Paul Scheele (you may have seen Paul on <i>CBS Television News</i> or <i>The Learning Channel</i>).<br />
<br />
What's more, paraliminals also allow you the luxury of repeating the program innumerable times for maximum results, even while you sleep!<br />
</span> <table align="center" border="1" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0" style="width: 450px;"><tbody>
<tr bgcolor="#ffffcc" bordercolor="#c0c0c0"> <td width="450"><span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Georgia;"> <center><b>The <i>magic</i> of the double-track recording technology used in the best paraliminal CDs is this:</b></center></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"> If you relax and "drive your concentration down the middle" of the simultaneous audio tracks, you will absorb both at the same time. In this way, the highly therapeutic spoken messages enter deeply into your unconscious mind. Once that happens, you're able to eliminate the conditioned, automatically trained behaviors and self-defeating emotional responses.<br />
</span></td></tr>
</tbody></table><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Georgia;"><b>Why Do Paraliminals Work So Well?</b><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: Arial;">With paraliminal programming, you simply listen with stereo headphones and relax as you gently activate your inner mind to make deep changes in your life. <span style="text-decoration: underline;">In just 20 minutes</span> you can easily <b>install new behaviors</b>, and:<br />
</span> <ul><span style="font-family: Arial;">
<li><b>Neutralize unwanted eating habits</b> </li>
<li>Release stress and tension </li>
<li>Strengthen your <b>will power</b> </li>
<li>Develop a positive relationship to food </li>
<li>Guide your body into its <b>natural balance</b> </li>
</span></ul><span style="font-family: Arial;"> While you listen (and enjoy a deeply relaxing and pleasurable sound sensation), paraliminal programming works with your self-esteem, your personal body image, and your relationship with your physical body.<br />
<br />
This is the key to why paraliminals work so well. They help you not only push past the resistance barriers, but also eliminate them completely and permanently. They <b>bypass your conscious mind and engage your unconscious mind directly</b> to eliminate habits that stand in the way of your ideal weight.<br />
<br />
Top nutritionists and trainers know that food and exercise are <span style="text-decoration: underline;">not</span> the only factors that affect your weight. Low self-confidence, a negative body image, and unwanted addictive behaviors can get in the way of the body you want. That's why many recommend a combination of<a href="http://www.learningstrategies.com/TOTB"> 3 paraliminals that work together to help you shed stubborn weight naturally</a> ... build confidence to feel great about yourself ... and free yourself from the cycle of addictive behaviors.<br />

... that </span><span style="font-family: Arial;"><b>cancerous cells can actually revert to a healthy state</b> within 24 hours when treated with a special protocol consisting of DMSO and colloidal silver?<br />
<br />
<img align="right" alt="Cancer Cell Bombarded by DMSO/Colloidal Silver" border="1" height="150" src="http://www.1minutecure.com/CancerCellWithAntibodies.jpg" width="200" /> Nicknamed "The Overnight Cancer Cure," the DMSO/colloidal silver protocol was invented and refined by a member of the Independent Cancer Research Foundation. This protocol was designed specifically to <i>transform cancerous cells into healthy cells</i> -- <u>fast</u>.<br />
<br />
The theory behind the DMSO/colloidal silver treatment is that cancer is caused by a specific microbe that gets inside healthy cells and causes them to become malignant. The protocol draws heavily from the work of Dr. Royal Rife, who researched the relationship between cancer and microbes extensively in the early 20th century.<br />
</span><span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Georgia;"><b>DMSO: A "Wonderful Medical Miracle" </b></span><span style="font-family: Arial;"><br />
<br />
DMSO, or dimethyl sulfoxide, is a by-product of the wood industry. Don't be fooled, though, by such humble origins. Even doctors say this liquid is a "wonderful medical miracle."<br />
<br />
Shortly after WWII, chemists discovered that DMSO has the ability to dissolve almost anything and to carry any dissolved substance along with it. It's so powerful, in fact, that it's often used as an industrial solvent. Remarkably enough, it's also completely safe for human use.<br />
<br />
DMSO can penetrate areas in the body unreachable by any other means. It moves so rapidly though cell membranes that it has been nicknamed "water's alter ego."<br />
<br />
Within the cell, DMSO changes the structure of water molecules and -- most importantly -- increases cell permeability. That means the cell membrane is more easily penetrated. Cell permeability is key to how DMSO works in tandem with another miraculous healer: <i>colloidal silver.</i><br />
</span><span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Georgia;"><b>Colloidal Silver: A Gifted Microbe Assassin </b></span><span style="font-family: Arial;"><br />
<br />
Colloidal silver has a special talent for <i>killing microbes and keeping them out of your bloodstream</i>. Since several types of cancer spread through the release of microbes, <span style="background-color: yellow;"><b>killing microbes is key to halting cancer and supercharging your immune system</b></span>. <br />
<br />
However, ridding the body of cancer-causing microbes poses challenges because very few substances can penetrate the interior of a cell. As long as the microbes are within a cell, they are: 1) extremely difficult to reach; and 2) prevent the cell from returning to its normal state.<br />
<br />
This is where DMSO becomes so valuable. With its ability to increase cell permeability, <b>DMSO can carry the colloidal silver into the interior of your cells, where cancer microbes dwell</b>. <br />
<br />
Once carried through the cell wall by DMSO, the colloidal silver can destroy microbes lurking within. <br />
</span><span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Georgia;"><b>This Formidable Duo "Targets Cancers Cells Like a Guided Missile"</b></span><span style="font-family: Arial;"><br />
<br />
DMSO and colloidal silver work so potently in combination that R. Webster Kehr, author of the original guide to the treatment protocol, described the duo as "designed by a higher power to target cancer cells like a guided missile."<br />
<br />
The protocol also helps convert cancer cells into normal cells. <br />
<br />
According to the online version of Kehr's guide: "The cancer cells will actually be able, within 2 or 3 weeks, to restore their Krebs Cycle and Electron Transport Chain and become normal, differentiated cells again. Thus, there is zero debris from dead cancer cells or broken-apart DNA. That is why the treatment is so effective so fast."<br />
</span><span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Georgia;"><b>How to Use the Protocol</b></span><span style="font-family: Arial;"><br />
<br />
According to natural health practitioners, the 2 components of this protocol must be taken in certain quantities and at specific times. Several books on the treatment have been published, and details on the regime are readily available online. The protocol can be found at the Independent Cancer Foundation, Inc.'s website ... New-Cancer-Treatments.org.<br />
<br />
In his guide, Kehr notes that because the protocol can be tricky, especially in the beginning stages, it's best to have a second person study the treatment to ensure you are following it correctly. It is advisable to keep that in mind when considering whether this treatment is right for you or a loved one who suffers from cancer.</span></div><div align="left"><br />

TESTIMONIAL:<br />
<br />
Dear HempUSA.org<br />
<br />
I wanted to write you guys and let you know how happy we are with your product. My wife, Kaytlin and I are in our mid 20's not suffering from any diseases, and were living pretty healthy before we heard about Hemp.<br />
<br />
My wife is 8 months pregnant, and being such we both were putting on the pounds at a steady rate. For her that is good, but for me not so much. We are having a home-birth and have visited with our midwife numerous times over the past months. During these visits our midwife performs tests Kaytlin for nutritional data and other information.<br />
<br />
She was amazed at our most recent visit, a few day's back, about Kaytlin's obvious nutritional improvements based on what she had seen the last time. She explained to us how pleased she was with the test and complimented Katylin for her diligent "good eating" habits. We then shared with her our secret about how we'd discovered Hempusa.org and their products and that Kaytlin had started taking Hemp powder just before our previous visit, which was about a month and a half apart.<br />
<br />
She knew about the benefits of Hemp and encouraged her to keep using it daily. As far as myself, during that same period I shed 20 lbs without lifting a finger and haven't felt better in I don't know how long. Everyday I take two tablespoons for breakfast in my coffee, I take two at lunch in two glasses of water, and I eat some raw fruit/vegetable and maybe a piece of fish or any meat I might feel like eating at night.<br />
<br />
It's amazing what we've saved on groceries and on little snacky foods, since that urge pretty much leaves you when you start taking hemp. If your out there wondering whether or not you should buy this product, trust me it is more than worth the money and you'll experience benefits almost immediately. Thanks again Tom and Crew. Keep up the good work and visit HempUSA.org !!!<br />

... that an easily-corrected vitamin deficiency may be the cause of major depression and mood disorders? <br />
<br />
Research conducted in the last several years at the University of York and Hull York Medical School shows a definite <i>link between depression and low levels of folate</i> -- a compound <b><u>found organically in fruits, leafy vegetables</u></b>, and other food sources. <br />
<br />
The team from York published some of their findings in the July 2007 edition of the <i>Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health</i>, stating that a review of 11 previous studies involving 15,315 participants showed a <span style="background-color: yellow;"><b>strong connection between low folate levels and depression</b>. </span><br />
<br />
Dr. Simon Gilbody (leader of the York team) spoke with a reporter from the University's magazine about his work, saying, "Although the research does not prove that low folate causes depression, we can now be sure that the two are linked ... there is also some trial evidence that suggests folic acid supplements can <b>benefit people</b> <b>with depression</b>."<br />
<br />
Dr. Gilbody and his team also published the results of further research on the link between folic acid and depression in the <i>American Journal of Epidemiology</i>. The team was able to prove that individuals with depression commonly have a <i>gene that causes them to improperly process folate</i>. This gene helps explain why folic acid supplements can <u>clear up even the most severe and prolonged forms of depression. </u><br />
</span><b><span style="color: red; font-family: Georgia;">The Importance of B Vitamins</span></b><span style="font-family: Arial;"><br />
Folic acid is one of the B vitamins, which are well known to be <i>crucial to emotional and mental well-being</i>. Because B vitamins can't be stored in our bodies, you need a diet that supplies sufficient amounts. Unfortunately, even then, <span style="background-color: yellow;"><b>B vitamins are destroyed by commonly consumed substances</b></span>, such as:</span></align="left"></div><div align="center"><table bgcolor="#ffffff" border="0" bordercolor="#ffffcc" cellpadding="12" cellspacing="0" style="border-collapse: collapse; width: 487px;"><tbody>

<li><span style="font-family: Arial;">Alcohol </span></li><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><br />
<li>Refined sugars </li><br />
</span><br />
<li><span style="font-family: Arial;">Nicotine</span></li><br />
</td></tr>
</tbody></table></div><br />
<div align="left"><align="left"><span style="font-family: Arial;"> Therefore, it's not surprising that B-vitamin deficiencies are so widespread.<br />
</span><b><span style="color: red; font-family: Georgia;">What is Folic Acid?</span></b><span style="font-family: Arial;"><br />
<br />
Folic acid is the synthetic form of vitamin B9, and it affects a group of chemicals in the brain known as <b>monoamines</b>. <br />
<br />
It's linked to the production of some of the <i>"feel good" </i>chemicals in the brain, and thought to play a role in the production neurotransmitters such as: </span><span style="font-family: Arial;">s</span><align="left"><align="left"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><align="left">erotonin, dopamine and norepinephrine.</align="left"></span><align="left"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><br />
</span><align="left"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Researchers believe that folate can cross the blood/brain barrier and is therefore key to maintaining healthy levels of key monoamine neurotransmitters. <br />
</span><span style="color: red; font-family: Georgia;"><b>When Antidepressants Don't Work </b></span><span style="font-family: Arial;"><br />
<br />
Folate deficiencies are especially frequent in patients who don't respond to conventional antidepressants. Some studies also indicate that folic acid may be a <b>very helpful</b> add-on to other prescription antidepressants. <br />
<br />
In one study, folic acid was compared with a placebo pill as a combination with a Prozac treatment approach. <br />
<br />
Patients who received folic acid <i>improved more </i>those who received the placebo. This improvement was especially marked in woman. <span style="background-color: yellow; text-decoration: underline;">Nearly 95% of female patients who received folic acid responded to the combo treatment</span>, compared to 60% of woman given the placebo. <br />
<br />
Another study conducted with elderly depressed patients found that another type of folate (5-methyltetrahydrofolate or 5-MTHF) was essentially just as effective as a mainstream antidepressant medication.<br />
</span><b><span style="color: red; font-family: Georgia;">Where to Find Folic Acid</span></b><span style="font-family: Arial;"><br />
<br />
Folic acid is easily available in its natural form in number of foods, including:</span></align="left"></align="left"></align="left"></align="left"></align="left"></div><br />

In addition, many <i>grain products have been enhanced with folic acid</i>, especially breads and cereals. <br />
<br />
And in addition to watching your diet, taking a folic acid supplement is a fantastic way to ensure you are providing your body with an adequate supply. <br />
<br />
Some drugs -- notably various barbiturates, anticonvulsants, and birth control pills -- can interact with folic acid, so if you are taking any of these, make sure to consult your prescriber before adding a folic acid supplement to your daily regime. <br />
<br />
Standard daily doses of folic acid vary, but typically fall between 250 -1,000 mcg (micrograms) per day. The recommended amount, unless a medical professional has advised otherwise, is 400 mcg per day. At this dose, most adults experience <b>no side effects whatsoever</b>. <br />
<br />
Folic acid supplements typically come in tablet form, and can be found in most natural food and drug stores. </span></align="left"><br />

The morning ritual of brewing a cup, the smell that perks me up before I take a sip and, of course, the flavor all make it my favorite beverage aside from water (water’s delicious!). As a registered dietitian and a nutrition editor for EatingWell Magazine, I know that coffee is fine in moderation. It has lots of antioxidants and is low in calories if you don’t load it up with cream and sugar. Nonetheless, I always feel slightly guilty about drinking it—you know, in a “it’s so good, it must be bad” kind of way.</div><div style="font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 15px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><strong style="font-style: normal; font-weight: bold;">Don’t Miss:</strong> <strong style="font-style: normal; font-weight: bold;"><a href="http://www.eatingwell.com/blogs/health/_5-bad-foods-should-eating?utm_source=YahooBlog_KerriAnn_Coffee_030311">5 “Bad” Foods You Should Be Eating</a></strong></div><div style="font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 15px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Which is why I’m always delighted to hear of new reasons that coffee is good for your health...and there are plenty! Over 18,000 studies on coffee have been published in the past few decades, revealing these benefits, many of which Joyce Hendley wrote about in the March/April issue of EatingWell Magazine:</div><div style="font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 15px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><strong style="font-style: normal; font-weight: bold;">Recipes to Try:</strong> <a href="http://us.lrd.yahoo.com/_ylt=AlFOXMRiIoWDGDF7FXJz_JzqbqU5/SIG=13rtqr4f0/**http%3A//www.eatingwell.com/recipes_menus/recipe_slideshows/coffee_recipes%3Futm_source=YahooBlog_KerriAnn_Coffee_030311" rel="nofollow" style="color: #b65800; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; text-transform: none;" target="_blank"><strong style="font-style: normal; font-weight: bold;">Hot Fudge Pudding Cake and Other Coffee-Infused Recipes</strong></a><br />

It protects your heart:</strong> Moderate coffee drinkers (1 to 3 cups/day) have lower rates of stroke than noncoffee drinkers, an effect linked to coffee’s antioxidants. Coffee has more antioxidants per serving than blueberries, making it the biggest source of antioxidants in American diets. All those antioxidants may help suppress the damaging effect of inflammation on arteries. Immediately after drinking it, coffee raises your blood pressure and heart rate, but over the long term, it actually may lower blood pressure as coffee’s antioxidants activate nitric oxide, widening blood vessels.</div><div style="font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 15px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><strong style="font-style: normal; font-weight: bold;">2. It diverts diabetes</strong>: Those antioxidants (chlorogenic acid and quinides, specifically) play another role: boosting your cells’ sensitivity to insulin, which helps regulate blood sugar. In fact, people who drink 4 or more cups of coffee each day may have a lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes, according to some studies. Other studies have shown that caffeine can blunt the insulin-sensitivity boost, so if you do drink several cups a day, try mixing in decaf occasionally.</div><div style="font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 15px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><strong style="font-style: normal; font-weight: bold;">Must-Read:</strong> <a href="http://us.lrd.yahoo.com/_ylt=Ag22ZOvB1tbUCFFQ3.jL6mLqbqU5/SIG=14je7oaev/**http%3A//www.eatingwell.com/blogs/diet/_many-calories-coffee-4-sips-watch-out-plus-lighter-choices%3Futm_source=YahooBlog_KerriAnn_Coffee_030311" rel="nofollow" style="color: #b65800; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; text-transform: none;" target="_blank"><strong style="font-style: normal; font-weight: bold;">4 Diet-Busting Coffee-Shop Drinks (and What to Drink Instead)</strong></a></div><div style="font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 15px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><strong style="font-style: normal; font-weight: bold;">3. Your liver loves it</strong>: OK, so the research here is limited, but it looks like the more coffee people drink, the lower their incidence of cirrhosis and other liver diseases. One analysis of nine studies found that every 2-cup increase in daily coffee intake reduced liver cancer risk by 43 percent. Again, it’s those antioxidants—chlorogenic and caffeic acids—and caffeine that might prevent liver inflammation and inhibit cancer cells.</div><div style="font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 15px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><strong style="font-style: normal; font-weight: bold;">4. It boosts your brain power</strong>: Drinking between 1 and 5 cups a day (admittedly a big range) may help reduce risk of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease, as well as Parkinson’s disease, studies suggest. Those antioxidants may ward off brain cell damage and help the neurotransmitters involved in cognitive function to work better.</div><div style="font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 15px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><strong style="font-style: normal; font-weight: bold;">5. It helps your headaches</strong>: And not just the withdrawal headaches caused by skipping your daily dose of caffeine! Studies show that 200 milligrams of caffeine—about the amount in 16 ounces of brewed coffee—provides relief from headaches, including migraines. Exactly how caffeine relieves headaches isn’t clear. But scientists do know that caffeine boosts the activity of brain cells, causing surrounding blood vessels to constrict. One theory is that this constriction helps to relieve the pressure that causes the pain, says Robert Shapiro, M.D., Ph.D., associate professor of neurology and director of the Headache Clinic at the University of Vermont Medical School.</div><div style="font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 15px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Now, that’s not to say that coffee doesn’t have any pitfalls—it does. Some people are super-sensitive to caffeine and get jittery or anxious after drinking coffee; habitual coffee drinkers usually develop a tolerance to caffeine that eliminates this problem (but they then need the caffeine to be alert and ward off withdrawal headaches). Coffee can also disturb sleep, especially as people age. Cutting some of the caffeine and drinking it earlier in the day can curb this effect.<b> Lastly, unfiltered coffee (like that made with a French press) can raise LDL cholesterol, </b>so use a filter for heart health.</div><div style="font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 15px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">But if you like coffee and you can tolerate it well, enjoy it...without the guilt.</div><div style="font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 15px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">By Kerri-Ann Jennings, M.S., R.D., Associate Nutrition Editor at<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;"><em style="font-style: italic; font-weight: normal;">EatingWell</em></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">Magazine</span></div>Linda Paquette-Bachelderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10794825816936755113noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1865838465435338262.post-27992771020417188422011-04-07T15:30:00.000-07:002011-04-07T15:38:27.081-07:00<div><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: x-large;"><strong><em>How to Stop a Heart Attack in 30 Seconds</em></strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: x-large;"><strong><em><br />
</em></strong></span></div><div>Article by: Madison Cavanaugh<br />
<br />
</div><div></div><div></div><div align="left">Can an ordinary cooking condiment used in cooking spicy, hot dishes really stop a heart attack or stroke? These doctors say it can.<br />
<br />
</div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"><div style="text-align: justify;"> Cayenne pepper (also called capsicum frutescens) is a red, hot chili pepper used primarily for flavoring dishes, but it has also been used for medical purposes for centuries. This stimulating herb has been widely used all over the world to treat a variety of health conditions, including heart disease, poor circulation, weak digestion, chronic pain, sore throat, headaches and toothache, among others.<br />
<br />
</div></div><div align="left"></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: justify;"> Cayenne pepper derives its medicinal properties from a resin-like substance known as capsaicin. Capsaicin is an ingredient that has thermogenic properties, that is, it increases body temperature and is the greatest blood circulation stimulant known. It doesn't cause palpitations, hyperactivity or an increase in blood pressure that most other stimulants cause. It also provides temporary relief of pain, which is why it is used in pain-reducing topical preparations such as Capsazin-P, Zostrix-HP, Dolorac, R-Gel and others.</div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: justify;"> Cayenne has steadily gained the reputation of being a wonder herb over the past few decades. Dr. Richard Schulze, a notable medical herbalist and naturopath, stated, “If you master only one herb in your life, master cayenne pepper. It is more powerful than any other.”</div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: justify;"> Perhaps the most important recognition that cayenne has gained in recent years has been its ability to stop a heart attack or stroke. Dr. Richard Anderson, author of “Cleanse & Purify Thyself,” reported that one of his fellow doctors rushed out into the parking lot to attend to a man who had died of a heart attack while parking his car. The doctor put cayenne tincture into the mouth of the man, and within a few minutes, the man’s heart started beating again.</div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: justify;"> According to Dr. John Christopher, pioneer of herbal medicine, “In 35 years of practice, working with people and teaching, I have never on house calls lost one heart attack patient and the reason is, whenever I go in--if they are still breathing--I pour down them a cup of cayenne tea (a teaspoon of cayenne in a cup of hot water), and within minutes they are up and around."</div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: justify;"> Cayenne has been shown to stop heart attacks in as little as 30 seconds. Perhaps the most well-known anecdotal evidence of this involved a 90-year-old man in Oregon who had a massive heart attack. When the medics arrived at his home, he was pronounced dead. His daughter was able to administer cayenne extract into his mouth, and within a few minutes, he regained consciousness. <br />
<br />
Thereafter, he was rushed to the hospital, and while he was in a semi-conscious state, his daughter continued giving him the cayenne extract. By the time they arrived at the hospital, he had fully recovered and insisted that he be taken home so that he could mow his lawn! When the doctor asked the daughter what she had given him, and she told him it was cayenne, the doctor declared it was the closest thing to a miracle he had ever seen.</div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: justify;"> The capsaicin in cayenne pepper is unrivaled in its ability to boost circulation and increase heart action. It has a mechanism of action that has the extraordinary ability to enhance cardiovascular performance while actually lowering blood pressure. Capsaicin has an energizing effect on the entire cardiovascular system.</div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: justify;"> Dr. Anderson believes that cayenne greatly strengthens the heart and could possibly even prevent heart attacks. He routinely carries capsules of cayenne with him in the car and whenever he goes hiking, mountain climbing or backpacking. “You never know when you may find someone having a heart attack,” he says.</div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: justify;"> Other doctors, however, insist that cayenne capsules are not as effective as cayenne tinctures or cayenne powder in emergency situations, such as in the event of a heart attack or stroke. If a heart attack or stroke should occur and the person is conscious, it is suggested that 5 to 10 droppers full of cayenne pepper tincture (or 1 teaspoon of cayenne powder in a glass of hot water) be administered into the mouth, and repeated every 15 minutes until the crisis has passed.</div></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div></div><div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">PS: Losing Weight and being at your target weight does reduce the risk of heart attacks and strokes.</div><div><br />

<div style="color: #4b4b4b; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: normal; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #4b4b4b; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: normal; text-align: justify;">Are you trying to find an effective diet program to help you lose weight, burn fat, and improve your overall health. Here are 4 questions you must ask before you start a program to ensure you are going on a program that will be effective, simple, and where you will also gain PERMANENT results.</div><div style="color: #4b4b4b; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: normal; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #4b4b4b; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: normal; text-align: justify;">1. Does the diet have a track record of positive testimonials? It's important that with whatever diet you are interested in that you check and see if it has many positive testimonials. The reason why is not as obvious as it seems. The reason you should check to see if it has MANY testimonials is because every ones body is different. If this diet you are interested in is going to be the best type to go on, it's going to be effective for ANYONE. If you see a positive pattern of different people using the program with success, then chances are, you have a winner.</div><div style="color: #4b4b4b; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: normal; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #4b4b4b; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: normal; text-align: justify;">2. Is it based on proper nutrition<iframe align="left" frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=chance88&o=1&p=8&l=bpl&asins=B004H1TACM&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="align: left; height: 245px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 5px; width: 131px;"></iframe>? If the diet is not based around getting proper nutrition (eating more frequently, eating all types of nutrients, not starving yourself), then I recommend you avoid doing it. It's important that the program you are interested in is based around giving your body proper nutrition... since this is the cornerstone of any successful weight loss program.</div><div style="color: #4b4b4b; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: normal; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #4b4b4b; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: normal; text-align: justify;">3. Will I be able to stick with this program regardless of my current lifestyle? If you are in a very physically demanding job for example, how in the world can you go on a diet that either is based around lowering your calorie intake, decreasing your carb intake significantly, or starving yourself and drinking nothing but lemonade all day long?! Besides that, any type of diet that seems as if it is going to be very difficult to stick to is typically a diet that is unnatural and ineffective.</div><div style="color: #4b4b4b; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: normal; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #4b4b4b; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: normal; text-align: justify;">4. Will this program help me lose weight... and keep it off for good? Fad dieting will not provide you with permanent weight loss... period. Natural dieting (eating ALL types of nutrients, naturally increasing your metabolism, etc.) is what will give you lightning fast results... permanently.</div><div style="color: #4b4b4b; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: normal; text-align: justify;"><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">It's the time of the season where everyone is trying to start over and get healthy! If you're already healthy, good for you! Forward this to the people who could benefit from this email. If you're one of those people using this time to better yourself by losing weight, fantastic! I would like to help!<br />
<br />
<span><iframe align="left" frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=chance88&o=1&p=8&l=bpl&asins=B0047T66O4&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="align: left; height: 245px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 5px; width: 131px;"></iframe></span>I always try to give you the do's of weight loss, but a lot of people have been asking me, "Kevin, I know the DO's, but what are the DO NOT's?"<br />
<br />
<strong></strong></span><br />
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><strong>Do not eat after 6 p.m.</strong><br />
Do the best you can on this, however, the good news is you can virtually eat like a pig all day long, and if you stop eating after six you will still lose weight! <span style="color: blue;"> </span><span style="color: red;">(I don't agree with him here, all and any calories over your maintenance amount will make you fat.)<br />
<br />
<strong></strong></span></span></li><br />
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><strong>Absolutely NO aspartame or any artificial sweeteners</strong><br />
Aspartame, which goes by the name NutraSweet, will make you fat. All other </span><a href="http://clicks.aweber.com/y/ct/?l=E67PR&m=K52WJw4ersVjrB&b=E1JDyQTRghK0569WuP2CWw" target="_blank" title=""><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">artificial sweeteners</span></a><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> including saccharin, Splenda, or anything else, should be avoided.<br />
<br />
<strong></strong></span></li><br />
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><strong>Absolutely NO Monosodium Glutamate (MSG)</strong></span><a href="http://clicks.aweber.com/y/ct/?l=E67PR&m=K52WJw4ersVjrB&b=Mqi51oZh4FyAC2P5QmgzeA" target="_blank" title=""><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">MSG is an excitotoxin</span></a><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">. It makes you fat, causes all kinds of </span><a href="http://clicks.aweber.com/y/ct/?l=E67PR&m=K52WJw4ersVjrB&b=Mqi51oZh4FyAC2P5QmgzeA" target="_blank" title=""><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">medical problems</span></a><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">, and can affect your mood making you depressed. It also can be physically addicting, like Aspartame, and actually make you hungrier.<br />
<br />
<strong></strong></span></li><br />
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><strong>Absolutely NO diet sodas or diet food</strong><br />
Diet sodas have been called the "</span><a href="http://clicks.aweber.com/y/ct/?l=E67PR&m=K52WJw4ersVjrB&b=nO3zNhfZrfr8L19Xdroojg" target="_blank" title=""><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">new crack</span></a><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">" because they appear to be so physically addicting. They actually make you fat. The reason they are promoted so heavily is because people become physically addicted to them and they are cheaper to make than regular sodas.<br />
<br />
<strong></strong></span></li><br />
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><strong>NO fast food or chain restaurants</strong><br />
Any restaurant that is a chain, a franchise that sells fast food, produces their food in such a way that it will absolutely make you fat. You can actually eat french fries and cheeseburgers and lose weight, provided that the ingredients that you use are all organic and contain no chemical additives. It is virtually impossible to eat food in a chain or franchise restaurant where the food has been processed </span><a href="http://clicks.aweber.com/y/ct/?l=E67PR&m=K52WJw4ersVjrB&b=HOs14nH6bcBHbq8wEnTETQ" target="_blank" title=""><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">to last for years without spoiling</span></a><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">. The food has to be produced as cheaply as possible for the companies to make money. They must add chemicals to make the food taste great and get you physically addicted. This food also has been produced to increase your appetite and make you fatter. Remember, these are businesses whose only objective is to make a profit. If the food tastes amazing, becomes physically addicting, increases your appetite, and makes you fat, the restaurant is assured of success. They are like drug dealers getting their customers hooked on their product.<br />
<br />
<strong></strong></span></li><br />
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><strong>NO high fructose corn syrup</strong><br />
This </span><a href="http://clicks.aweber.com/y/ct/?l=E67PR&m=K52WJw4ersVjrB&b=utNPadxzc7kIKjPpAcIeLw" target="_blank" title=""><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">sweetener makes you fat</span></a><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> and is </span><a href="http://clicks.aweber.com/y/ct/?l=E67PR&m=K52WJw4ersVjrB&b=PYvB1Fe_IN7sXoR5tZ1nhA" target="_blank" title=""><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">physically addictive</span></a><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">. Just stop buying food at the supermarket, go to a health food store instead. Do not buy food that is manufactured by large publicly traded companies. Do not buy brand name food. The profit motive is so high you can be assured that it is not good for you. The sweeteners that are used in food produced in a natural way include organic honey, organic molasses, organic fruit juice, organic dates, the herb stevia, evaporated sugar cane juice. Simply read the labels and if you can't pronounce it, don't buy it.<br />
<br />
<strong></strong></span></li><br />
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><strong>NO white sugar or white flour</strong><br />
White sugar is in fact physically addicting and makes you fat. White flour, as I have mentioned previously, when mixed with water, makes paste. Eating white flour makes you fat; it can also be addicting, and clogs up your digestive system, slowing down your metabolism. Use organic whole-grain flours that have not been processed or stripped of the fiber.<br />
<br />
<strong></strong></span></li><br />
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><strong>Limit dairy products</strong><br />
If you are going to consume milk, cheese, butter, or any dairy products, </span><a href="http://clicks.aweber.com/y/ct/?l=E67PR&m=K52WJw4ersVjrB&b=BHwfWaJVQvgJr7cwC8UVtQ" target="_blank" title=""><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">eat only organic products</span></a><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> that have not been pasteurized or homogenized. The dairy products should be labeled "organic and raw." It may be hard to find raw dairy products in some parts of the country. The next best option is organic, not homogenized, but that has been pasteurized. Your last option is organic that has been both pasteurized and homogenized. Ideally, if you want to lose weight, reduce dairy regardless of what you are getting. Definitely, absolutely, do not consume any dairy products that are not organic because they will have growth hormone in them and slow your weight loss.<br />
<br />
<strong></strong></span></li><br />
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><strong>Reduce/eliminate the "uncontrollable" urge to eat when you are not hungry</strong><br />
Remember, censorship is alive and well in America. The Federal Trade commission has forbidden me from saying my opinions on how a person can eliminate addictions and uncontrollable urges to eat. And you thought there was free speech in America. If the First Amendment were true, I would be able to state my opinions and conclusions. I cannot. However, if you are an emotional eater and have uncontrollable urges and compulsions to eat when you are not hungry, get the book , "Tapping The Healer Within, How to Instantly Conquer Fears, Anxieties and Emotional Distress". <span><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Tapping-Healer-Within-Roger-Callahan/dp/B002VCF8G6?ie=UTF8&tag=chance88&link_code=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969" target="_blank">Tapping the Healer Within</a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=chance88&l=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969&o=1&a=B002VCF8G6" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px !important; padding-left: 0px !important; padding-right: 0px !important; padding-top: 0px !important;" width="1" /></span></span><br />

<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">Yesterday we talked about your Conscious and Subconscious Minds</div><div style="text-align: justify;">and now I want to talk to you about the key to why most people</div><div style="text-align: justify;">struggle... <a href="http://bit.ly/confdence">http://bit.ly/confdence</a></div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">--The Critical Divide--</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Between your CONSCIOUS and SUBCONSCIOUS mind there is a division </div><div style="text-align: justify;">called the "Critical Factor". The Critical Factor takes what the </div><div style="text-align: justify;">CONSCIOUS mind is thinking and then seeks approval from the </div><div style="text-align: justify;">SUBCONSCIOUS mind to pass the information along. Sometimes it </div><div style="text-align: justify;">allows it to be delivered and sometimes it does not.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span><iframe align="left" frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=chance88&o=1&p=8&l=bpl&asins=0425149781&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="align: left; height: 245px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 5px; width: 131px;"></iframe></span>Many say we develop this Critical Factor at about age six. Prenatal </div><div style="text-align: justify;">and neonatal brains operate predominantly in Delta and Theta EEG </div><div style="text-align: justify;">frequencies through the first six years of our lives. This level </div><div style="text-align: justify;">of brain activity is also referred to as the hypnotic state.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">While in this hypnotic state, children do not have to be actively </div><div style="text-align: justify;">coached into specific beliefs. They develop a core belief system </div><div style="text-align: justify;">simply by observing and interacting with parents, siblings, peers, </div><div style="text-align: justify;">teachers, religion and television.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Up about age six we are learning things very quickly. If you observe </div><div style="text-align: justify;">children you can see how quickly they are able to pick up new information. </div><div style="text-align: justify;">This is because the Critical Factor is not developed.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">As we age it becomes more important to exercise caution to know </div><div style="text-align: justify;">the difference between right and wrong, hence the Critical Factor </div><div style="text-align: justify;">becomes more discerning and developed. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Now that you understand about the Critical Divide, you see how</div><div style="text-align: justify;">important it is to be able to cross this critical divide to finally</div><div style="text-align: justify;">release yourself from struggle... </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Beyond-Positive-Thinking-No-Nonsense-Formula/dp/0975857096?ie=UTF8&tag=chance88&link_code=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969" target="_blank">Beyond Positive Thinking: A No-Nonsense Formula for Getting the Results You Want</a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=chance88&l=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969&o=1&a=0975857096" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px !important; padding-left: 0px !important; padding-right: 0px !important; padding-top: 0px !important;" width="1" /></span></div><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Hi Linda!<br />
<br />
Yesterday you received my complete audio on "Silencing Your Inner<br />
Gatekeeper to Become Unstoppable" and as promised, here I am with <br />
the first of several tips to make sure you really get everything<br />
I talk about... <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Think-Big-Robert-Anthony/dp/0425168662?ie=UTF8&tag=chance88&link_code=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969" target="_blank">Think Big</a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=chance88&l=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969&o=1&a=0425168662" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px !important; padding-left: 0px !important; padding-right: 0px !important; padding-top: 0px !important;" width="1" /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Ok, now let's get started...<br />
<br />
Over the past 25 years I've trained and worked with thousands <br />
of people, helping them to overcome the things that have previously <br />
held them back, and create the lives they've always dreamed of. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Ideas-That-Change-Your-Life/dp/0425104214?ie=UTF8&tag=chance88&link_code=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969" target="_blank">50 Ideas That Can Change Your Life</a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=chance88&l=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969&o=1&a=0425104214" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px !important; padding-left: 0px !important; padding-right: 0px !important; padding-top: 0px !important;" width="1" /></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span></span><br />
I believe I can help you too... <br />
<br />
As a hypnotist I am often asked about Self-Hypnosis. Let me tell <br />
you why I think it is one of the most effective tools for change.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
To make this clear, we first need to discuss the concept of:<br />
One Brain - Two Minds<br />
<br />
Although we all have one brain, we possess two minds or two phases <br />
of mind power - CONSCIOUS and SUBCONSCIOUS.<br />
<br />
<span><iframe align="left" frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=chance88&o=1&p=8&l=bpl&asins=0975857096&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="align: left; height: 245px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 5px; width: 131px;"></iframe></span>Let's talk about them both...<br />
<br />
</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><strong>--The Limited Conscious Mind--<br />
</strong>When we talk about the CONSCIOUS mind, we're talking about your <br />
everyday normal state of awareness.<br />
<br />
The problem is that the CONSCIOUS mind is very limited. The beauty <br />
of the CONSCIOUS mind is that it allows us to have self-awareness. <br />
It allows you to appreciate the good things in life and it allows <br />
you to decide, "What is it that I want more of?"<br />
</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><strong>--The Unlimited Subconscious Mind--</strong><br />
The SUBCONSCIOUS mind is where we record and respond to habits. <br />
Your SUBCONSCIOUS mind is where the wisdom, insight, intuition, <br />
memories, learning, happy experiences as well as unpleasant <br />
experiences are stored. Most importantly, it is our connection <br />
with Higher Intelligence.<br />
<br />
From the moment we get up -- to the moment we go to bed -- we <br />
operate mostly from the SUBCONSCIOUS.<br />
<br />
Now that you understand about the Conscious and the Subconscious <br />
minds, you are ready to learn about the Critical Divide between<br />
the 2 and how you can bypass that to finally manifest everything<br />
you desire...<br />
<br />
<span><iframe align="left" frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=chance88&o=1&p=8&l=bpl&asins=042522189X&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="align: left; height: 245px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 5px; width: 131px;"></iframe></span>We'll talk about that tomorrow...until then, get excited because<br />
what I'm revealing to you is the key and with it nothing that can <br />
stand in your way of creating unlimited wealth or anything else<br />
you desire... <br />
<br />
Truly Caring for Your Success!<br />

There are probably a thousand ways to lose all that extra fat, if you have had the time to notice all of them in the Internet. However, you would be surprised to know that almost half of them either contain false information or are made to promote a certain product or exercise apparatus. This is one of the main reasons why I tell most of my friends to not believe everything that they read on the Internet. As for easy diets to lose weight fast they do exist; the only problem is that these techniques and tips are already right before your eyes, but people just take them for granted because either they are not serious in losing weight or they are too lazy to do so! How far are you willing to lose all those extra weight? That should be the first question that you should ask yourself before you even attempt to do any type of diet.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">One of the easiest diets that you can start would be a <span>protein-rich diet<iframe align="left" frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=chance88&o=1&p=8&l=bpl&asins=B000FFS8OK&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="align: left; height: 245px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 5px; width: 131px;"></iframe></span>. Start your day with milk and bread; if you want some rice for your breakfast, then one cup of rice should be sufficient enough for you. Eat lean meat, like turkey, chicken, or fish; avoid eating pork or any type of meat that is deep-fried as these types are filled with cholesterol, which is bad for your heart. Avoid over-eating as this will only fill you with more calories that will turn into body fat. Start doing exercises in order to increase your body's metabolism rate, thus increasing the chance of slimming down your body at a much faster rate. Do this and you should lose weight in no time at all!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">So, if you want to Burn Fat FAST and drop 9 pounds EVERY 11 DAYS, then I highly recommend the "calorie shifting diet". I lost an amazing 57 lbs. of fat in 2 months using this popular online diet plan... and it all stayed off FOR GOOD! This diet works really well because it is based on boosting your metabolism by eating REAL foods. NO starving yourself, NO cravings, NO dangerous diet pills... just 100% natural and very EASY dieting!</div><br />

Well, that and taxes. But it does not have to be that hard as long as you have a great mindset and strategy in place. If you have both, you will succeed. But if your missing just one of these elements, your chances of success are decreased. The biggest key that I see when it comes to successful weight loss is the mental element of it all. The brain controls your thoughts and your body. If you have a weak mindset, you will be hindering your results like I've said before. So, without further ado, I wanted to give you 10 tricks that you can use right away to start losing belly fat.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Tip 1: Have a workout buddy.</strong> Having a gym buddy is a great way to make yourself stay accountable and to get to the gym everyday during the week. By having a gym buddy, they are able to push you through your exercise routine and vice versa. It also helps to make exercise fun for all. A lot of people don't like to exercise, but having a buddy to go with you to the gym takes care of most of that boredom. Just make sure not to talk all the time while your at the gym.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Tip 2: Have a competition</strong> amongst friends or co-workers. For a lot of people, their jobs offer gym memberships or even have a corporate gym in the basement of the building that they work in. Start off by getting 5 to 10 friends or co-workers. Lay out a timetable for the competition and see who can lose the most weight within a 3 month or 6 month period. However, one thing you must note is you should go by relative amount of weight lost, not absolute because a heavier person who is just starting out will lose more weight than a smaller person. You should also have some type of prize at the end of the competition. Chip in some money and buy a vacation for the winner or a great night out on the town. This will help fuel motivation all the way through.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Tip 3: <span>Use visualization.<iframe align="left" frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=chance88&o=1&p=8&l=bpl&asins=1577312295&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="align: left; height: 245px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 5px; width: 131px;"></iframe></span></strong> Visualization is one of the most underated mental exercises to accomplish something. It works wonders in whatever you want to do. If you truly concentrate on the end result of what you want to look like, you just increased your chances of getting there. You see, you can actually re-program your sub conscious mind. It's like a mold of clay and it can be shaped into anything you want it to. For 5 minutes every night, focus on what you want your body to look like. Truly visualize it. Feel it, smell the air, make it as real as possible.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Tip 4: Record all of your progress</strong> down in the gym. Whatever weights you use and exercises you perform, record down the number of times you performed each set. Make sure each week to try and beat the number from the previous week. It doesn't matter if you only beat it by 1 repetition. You still made progress. You can do the same for cardiovascular exercise. Record your incline, speed and time and try to increase either or each week by a small degree. Remember, small increases lead to bigger increases over time, which will get you to your end goal.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Tip 5: Keep a food diary.</strong> By keeping a food diary, you can keep track of everything that you ingest each day. Many people underestimate the amount of calories they take in each day as well as their portions. Big portions are a problem in this country. For example, a serving of pasta is 1 cup. But most people eat 2 to 4 cups in a sitting. That can be anywhere from 100 to 200 grams of refined carbohydrates that you just consumed and did not need. All those extra calories will be turned into the annoying belly fat that we try to avoid.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Now I want to get into the exercise portion of this article.</strong></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Tip 6: Keep your heart rate elevated</strong> through out the workout. By keeping your heart rate elevated through out the workout and limiting your breaks, you will be burning more total calories through out the session and through out the day. You don't realize it but you can still have a great workout, keep your heart rate and not feel like you are going to pass out. You just have to keep it at a constant level, especially when you are weight training. And this brings me into my seventh tip.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Tip 7: Do some type of resistance training</strong>. Working out with weights is going help you build muscle and burn more calories at rest as compared to cardiovascular exercise. Building muscle is also going to give you that nice, lean and toned look that everyone admires. The more muscle that you build, the more calories you will be burning at rest because muscle is metabolically active tissue. It needs calories to survive, unlike fat. <span><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Principles-Practice-Resistance-Training-Michael/dp/0880117060?ie=UTF8&tag=chance88&link_code=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969" target="_blank">Principles and Practice of Resistance Training</a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=chance88&l=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969&o=1&a=0880117060" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px !important; padding-left: 0px !important; padding-right: 0px !important; padding-top: 0px !important;" width="1" /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Tip 8: Do cardiovascular interval training</strong> instead of regular boring cardio that you usually do on the treadmill or elliptical. By performing interval training, you will be burning more calories though out your workout. Also, your metabolism will be significantly raised for the rest of the day so you can be burning more total calories. When you are jogging and stop, your metabolism automatically goes back to baseline levels so you don't get that coveted after burn as you would with interval training.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Tip 9: Mix it up.</strong> By mixing up your workouts with different exercises, reps, sets, and programs, you are keeping your body guessing. Your body wants to stay where it is. It loves homeostasis. By tricking your body and keeping it out of homeostasis, you will be burning more calories and forcing your body to change at a faster than normal pace. Plus it keeps you from being bored, especially if you don't like to exercise.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Tip 10: Have fun.</strong> Don't get too serious with yourself. You will fall off the bandwagon at some point in your journey to losing belly fat. And that's okay. It's normal. Have fun with it all and document your transformation so you can look back and be proud of what you accomplished. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

Article by: <a href="http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Jared_DiCarmine" id="togglebio" jquery1286409281234="2">Jared DiCarmine</a>Linda Paquette-Bachelderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10794825816936755113noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1865838465435338262.post-14416687850055990582010-09-28T15:03:00.000-07:002010-09-28T15:03:45.045-07:00Gastric Band Surgery Verses Gastric Band Hypnosis<div style="text-align: justify;">So you're thinking of really getting serious about your weight problem. You feel really out of shape and you want to start slimming down. You are so serious, in fact, that you are now even considering a surgical procedure to assist you in taking the weight off. Now that we know that you are serious, let's go over your options.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Weight loss is a matter of taking in less calories than you consume. If you eat 3500 calories in a week than you normally would, that would translate into you losing 1 pound of weight. That means that you will want to eliminate 500 calories a day to make that happen. Over the course of a year you will have lost 50 pounds. Increase the amount of calories you eliminate from your daily or weekly diet and you will increase the number of pounds you lose over time. Those are the basics of weight loss, and those basics do not change even when you choose surgery to assist you in your weight loss journey.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Your surgery options include several different procedures and the one that this article is focusing on is the gastric band surgery. With gastric band surgery you will be wheeled into the operating room where you will be sedated and a team of surgeons will perform a laparoscopic surgery. This requires that a number of small incisions will be made in your chest and stomach area. Into these incisions the doctors will insert very small cameras and surgical instruments. While watching their progress on a TV screen the surgeons will be able to cut away sections of fat and push aside the organs surrounding your stomach. This is so they can create a tunnel underneath your stomach sack.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Once that tunnel is made the surgeon will then install a band around the top of your stomach. This band is similar to a twist closure for your trash bag. The purpose of this closure is to isolate the top part of your stomach and use that to create a smaller reservoir to capture the food that you eat. It will then enter the rest of your stomach slowly as it is broken down and able to flow through that now very small opening created by the gastric band.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">After your gastric band is installed you will still need to eat smaller amounts of food in order for you to lose weight. Remember that the formula for losing a pound a week is to eat 500 less calories a day. That has not changed. What has changed is that your stomach is now unable to handle very much food at one time. Your stomach has physically changed to be the size of a golf ball. Eating more than 4 or 5 mouthfuls of food will now put a major stress on your digestive system and you will have a really bad physical response to eating too much food. This is called dumping by the doctors.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Gastric band<span>hypnosis <iframe align="left" frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=chance88&o=1&p=8&l=bpl&asins=0557097843&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="align: left; height: 245px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 5px; width: 131px;"></iframe></span>is a way of using your imagination in a very profound way. When you use the gastric band hypnosis method, you will have a mental gastric band installed and you will be guided to follow the smaller portions program that the surgical patients would follow. Some virtual gastric band participants find that after the virtual gastric band is installed they feel a tightness in their stomach. They find the same type of feelings as if they actually had the real surgical operation performed. When that happens for you, you will then be influenced to follow an eating program that consists of less food, and you will lose weight.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">And I invite you to join one of my free gastric band hypnosis groups for weight loss. These groups are actively testing to see how effective this process can be. It has been getting between 90-95% success rate with attendees losing weight. There are also reduced price individual sessions available for the virtual gastric band in New York, and you can take advantage of these free and low cost offers for the remainder of 2010.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">You can find more info at VirtualGastricBandNewYork.com and see how the initial volunteers have done with the virtual gastric band.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

That would be fantastic, but that's just not the case. Weight loss foods are types of foods - beans, lean meats, vegetables - that will promote overall health, naturally speed up your metabolism and help you lose weight. To get the most from these types of foods, they should be part of a healthy overall food plan that will help you get the most of what they have to offer.<br />
<br />
<br />
Vegetables and fruits have to make the top of the weight loss food list. While some vegetables will be high in fat - think avocados - they will help you feel full longer, and contain very little calories, compared to their volume. Contrary to popular belief, vegetables are actually quite difficult to digest, so you will burn many calories just through the act of digesting them. On top of being full of vitamins, minerals and other essential nutrients, vegetables and fruits are actually delicious - at least in most cases! Just make sure not to drown them in butter when you eat them!<br />

Lean cuts of meat are an essential part of a healthy array of <span>weight loss foods<iframe align="left" frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=chance88&o=1&p=8&l=bpl&asins=0976313820&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="align: left; height: 245px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 5px; width: 131px;"></iframe></span>. Try to limit yourself to poultry, always without the skin, as well as fish and very lean cuts of pork and beef - no bacon! Fish should always be baked, never fried, and the fat allowed to drain away as it cooks. Animal proteins are considered by many to be an essential part of a healthy human diet, and very often the tastiest!<br />
<br />
Foods that will accelerate your metabolism, helping to burn calories and fat should also be considered as part of a weight loss food diets. Cayenne pepper - yes, the one that makes your eyes water - is an excellent metabolism enhancer, and will add flavor and adventure to your meals.<br />
<br />

It also seems to help with digestion! <span><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Natural-Foojoy-Wuyi-Oolong-Weight/dp/B000KYSVRK?ie=UTF8&tag=chance88&link_code=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969" target="_blank">All Natural Foojoy Wuyi Oolong (Wu Long) Weight Loss Tea 100 Tea Bags</a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=chance88&l=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969&o=1&a=B000KYSVRK" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px !important; padding-left: 0px !important; padding-right: 0px !important; padding-top: 0px !important;" width="1" /></span><br />

A calorie is a unit of energy measuring how much energy the foods we consume provide to our bodies. A certain amount of calories are necessary for the body to function properly. As you eat food, your body turns that food into fuel and burns it, producing calories, or energy.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">As we all know, there are three different types of foods, all of which have different caloric amounts: carbohydrates, proteins and fats. One gram of carbohydrate contains 4 calories. One gram of protein contains 4 calories. However, one gram of fat has 9 calories, more than twice the amount found in protein or carbohydrates. This may be part of the reason fatty foods seem to fill us up so quickly. Unfortunately, it's also the reason fatty foods make us gain weight faster.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The full name for calories are "kilocalories." When calorie calculations are made, it is assumed that everyone knows that calories = kilocalories. For example, if something on a menu is listed as having 500 calories, it really has 500 kilocalories. A calorie is the amount of energy it takes to increase the temperature of one gram of water by one degree Celsius. It takes 3500 calories to equal one pound of body weight.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">All of these numbers and calculations may be making your head spin. Just remember, all you really need to know is in the last sentence of the last paragraph. If you want to lose one pound of stored body fat, you must burn off 3500 calories. When you're relaxing, doing absolutely nothing at all, scientists say that most people burn just 50 calories an hour. So it naturally follows, then, that to make a real dent into your body fat, you must combine counting your daily calorie intake with exercise.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Some people eat different types of foods on a diet, thinking that will help them to lose weight faster. Low carbohydrate diets are popular, as taking in less carbs will cause the body to burn more protein by converting protein to carbohydrates in the liver. This can also cause more fluid to be lost from the body, however, faking dieters into thinking they're losing massive amounts of weight when, in actuality, they are just losing fluid and not making a noticeable, permanent reduction of all of their stored body fat. This is why diets that restrict only certain types of foods usually don't work.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Experts say that the only way to lose weight is to increase one's basal metabolic rate, usually through aerobic exercise. When a body is at rest, the body's oxygen supply is sufficient to burn up to 90% of its energy as fat.Therefore, if you increase your resting metabolic rate, you will actually burn more calories at rest than the person next to you. This will help you to dramatically increase your fat loss and you should see the numbers on the scale decrease as well.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

The Scoop on Emotional-Compensatory Eating<div style="text-align: justify;">Every human being has basic emotional and intellectual needs. You are no exception. There are four needs that your mind strives to fulfill on a very consistent basis: certainty/security, significance, variety, and love/connection. Your mind views these needs as necessities; they are not optional. When a need goes unmet, an over eater's mind uses food to compensate for that need.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The Need for Certainty/Security</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Everyone needs to feel in control of their lives; facing the unknown can be very unsettling for many people. When a person loses the feeling of being in control, the mind will strive to regain control by employing whatever habits and behaviors it has been programmed with.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">For <span>stress eaters<iframe align="left" frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=chance88&o=1&p=8&l=bpl&asins=0980211840&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="align: left; height: 245px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 5px; width: 131px;"></iframe></span>, this is a weakness. Stress often happens when the feeling of control has been lost. Stress eaters seek control through consuming food because, although they cannot control their outer circumstances causing stress, they are able to control what they eat.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Pay close attention to those stressful times and notice if your immediate reaction is to run to the fridge. You could be compensating a feeling of losing control with the consumption of food.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The Need for Significance</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Another basic human need is the need to feel important. No one wants to live a life where their presence hasn't made the least bit of impact in the lives of others. We want people to remember us when we are gone, or it will be as if we never existed at all.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">But there does need to be balance. Ever hear of the saying "It is lonely at the top"? Being significant requires a certain amount of responsibility; maybe too much for one person to handle.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Maybe food is giving you that "special feeling" that significance emits. Maybe you feel you are too significant and you are feeding your face as some sort of distraction from the responsibility that comes along with being significant. Next time you are feeling like you are being pulled in many different directions, pay attention to your response.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The Need for Variety</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Sometimes life can become so certain that it becomes boring! Everyone has the need for variety in their lives. For some people, variety comes in the form of food. For good reason! With so many different kinds of foods out there, the choices seem endless! Plus, food is relatively cheap compared to other forms of "entertainment". So instead of going out to a movie with your spouse or friends and blowing well over $20 on a movie ticket, some popcorn, and a drink; you head to your favorite restaurant or right to your refrigerator, and ease your boredom with your favorite junk food.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Does this sound like you? Pay attention to your actions when you find yourself getting bored. Is your first reaction to head for the pantry or the fridge? Chances are there are many other things you could think of to ease your boredom (like dishes, laundry, a project, etc.); but nothing says "fun" like a brownie fudge sundae!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The Need for Love/Connection</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Ah yes...the need for love and connection. This is by far the deepest need. Everyone wants to be and feel loved; everyone wants to feel connected. The most damaging emotions someone can experience are rejection and loneliness; and when rejection and loneliness are experienced, our minds work overtime to compensate. For some people, compensation comes in the form of "comfort food".</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Food may be the one variable a rejected person feels they can rely on-it will never say "no" or "not now" or "maybe later". Food is always there to serve its purpose; and if its purpose for you is to comfort you, your mind knows that it will always be there. So your mind quickly employs the habit of seeking comfort from food; and you end up easing your feelings of rejection and/or loneliness with a box of dough nuts or a pint of ice cream.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Examine Your Needs</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Take a quick inventory of your needs and identify the ones that are falling short of being fulfilled. This is a major key to obtaining your freedom. Unless you know the problem, you will not be able to find the solution. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
