e-Lybra 8 is Here!

The cutting edge technology of bio-field resonance in now in our clinic.  We have the capability to test for over 135,000 substances and create very specific, clear remedies for each individual.

And..the best news is that we can do this for patients who live any distance from us by using a hair sample.  This is not to be confused with a traditional hair analysis.  Our use of the sample is very different..to obtain one's particular "signature" or resonance.

This unit was developed by computer programmer genius, Victor Sims and the brilliant homeopath, Dr. Andrew Marsh formerly of England, now living in Canada.  Dr. Marsh has a healing success of over 90% with this amazing system.

DID YOU KNOW???

Why can't you use oil in baking?

Because of its liquuid nature, oils tend to collect instead of evenly distributing through the dough.  This may cause the baked goods to become grainy.  When a solid fat is used, baked items tend to be more fluffy and retain their moisture better.

An Update on "Mad Cow Disease"

The popular name for bovine spongiform encephalopathy, or BSe, a fatal brain disease in cattle.  Since animals with BSE appear disoriented, irritable and apprehensive, they were dubbed "mad" by British farmers when the disease surfaced there in 1986.

Since then, nearly 200,000 cattle around the world have been diagnosed with BSE, 96 per cent of the in Great Britain.

People can contact it by eating tainted meat and the human form is called variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease, or vCJD.  Since 1995, 140 people have died of vCJD, almost all of them in England.

Is it contagious? We don't know for certain, but research suggests it could be passed through blood. 

It is caused by prions, and takes up to decades to develop.  Its thought by some researchers that there is a genetic predisposition to actually developing the disease, even though many carry the prions. 

Its believed that the less expensive "mechanically separated beef" was the cause of the disease in the people in England.  Mechanically separated meat or MSM is a paste that's produced by compressing carcasses, much like a used car is curshed into a dense block of metal.  The paste, which could have included bits of spinal cord, was made into hot dogs, sausages and bround beef. 

Currently here in Canada, meat product producers are being ordered to remove all brain, spinal cord, skull and other nervous system tissue from cows..but let's face it..its a very difficult job and how well will it be done?

Many, many products use MSM...so ready your labels and if you see it on the ingredients....leave the food on the shelf.

Now this is a little bizzare!!

 EAT WORMS..FEEL BETTER???

Who would deliberately drink a dose of gut worms? The answer is Anna Glanz, an ordinary mother-of-two from Iowa.
She's testing the remarkable theory that not all parasites are necessarily bad for us. Some of them may actually help us fight diseases.

A BBC documentary looks at how some parasites are so well-adapted to using humans as hosts, that when you take them away, there are unexpected results.

Ulcerative colitis is a disease of the intestine caused by the immune system over-reacting - in this disease the white blood cells attack the gut as though it's a foreign invader, making it bleed.

Mother-of-two, Anna Glanz, from Iowa, suffers from it and gets terrible cramps and sudden, intense attacks of diarrhoea.

The disease is incurable, but she is now taking part in an experimental trial run by Dr Joel Weinstock, a specialist in bowel disorders.

He's giving her worms to try to treat the disease.

Drink up

Every three weeks Anna goes to Dr Weinstock's clinic and takes a drink full of worm eggs.

But Anna reckons it is worth it: "I don't really think of them as being alive I guess, it's almost just like taking a pill or something.

"I try not to think of them as disgusting or anything like that. And I couldn't live the way I was living. I was desperate to try anything. I just wanted to get well".

The worms grow inside her gut and then pass out after a few weeks, but as a result of having these worms in her gut, her ulcerative colitis is in remission - she doesn't suffer from any of the symptoms any more.

Dr Weinstock reckons that's because we've evolved with worms and actually need them.

Before gut worms were eradicated in the West 50 or so years ago allergies - caused by the overreaction of the immune system - were virtually unheard of, now in the UK one third of us suffers from some sort of allergy.

"Nobody wants to go to the toilet and look into the toilet and see something wiggle"
Dr Joel Weinstock, worm researcher

So scientists are looking to see if there's a connection between gut worms and allergies, they are wondering if gut worms can somehow damp down the immune system to make it easier for them to live in the intestine without coming under attack.
He said: "Worms require humans to survive. In essence the worms are part of us and it's possible that we've become interdependent and removing worms has resulted in an imbalance to our immune systems.

On the hook

Another person feeling the benefit of a worm infestation is academic researcher Alan Brown, who picked up hookworms while on a field-trip outside the UK.

There's about 300 hookworms in my guts
Dr Alan Brown

The worm hangs around damp earth or water droplets, and on contact with skin burrows through and heads for the gut.
There it attaches itself to the wall - and drinks blood to live.

However, in western countries, where people are well-nourished, a moderate infestation is likely to have no nasty side-effects at all.

Dr Brown examines his own faeces under the microscope to try to gauge how many worms currently reside within him.

"Given the number of eggs there, there's about 300 hookworms in my guts."

However, there's a useful effect - his hayfever has virtually disappeared, and now he is working on the powers of the hookworm with a view to developing an asthma drug.

He said: "My wife's horrified - she's totally convinced that one day I'm going to infect the whole family."

Mental manipulation

This may not be the only parasite that changes the human body to make it easier to survive. And not all those changes may have potentially beneficial side-effects.

Some may have developed an extraordinary power to manipulate behaviour.
One third of Britons carry the toxoplasma parasite in their brain.

Its natural home is the cat and it's spread in cats' faeces. It can be picked up by any mammal, from rats to cattle. The main way we get it is by eating undercooked meat (which is why 80% of the French are estimated to have it, with their love of rare meat).

Once we have it we have it for life, there's no way we can get rid of it.

Research shows it somehow manipulates rats' behaviour - it makes rats attracted to cats - their natural predator, so they're more likely to be eaten by a cat and the parasite can complete its life cycle.

For years scientists thought it had no effect on our behaviour, but now the parasite's changing their minds. Recent research suggests that people with toxiplasma have slower reaction times than those without and are also more than twice as likely to be involved in a traffic accident than those who aren't carrying the parasite.

"Bodysnatchers" was broadcast on BBC One at 2100 GMT on Wednesday December 3.

DID YOU KNOW????

Here is an interesting tidbit.  Do you think you know the healthiest vegetable?  Mom always said.."Eat your broccoli!"... was that the best advice?

The answer unfortunately is "Nope".  In fact there are many vegetable which scored better according to the Center for Science in the Public Interest. Vegetable were tested for: Carotenoids, Vitamin C, Folacin, Potassium, Calcium Iron and Fibre.

The top six were: 1) Collard greens, 2) Spinach, 3) Sweet potato 4) Swiss chard, 5) Red pepper, raw.  Broccoli was number 24.

RISKS OF FLUMIST VACCINE

Dr. Sherri Tenpenny has done a wonderful report on FluMist, a vaccine for the flu and its dangers. 

Its a long read..but worth the time as we struggle to inform ourselves of what is best for our family's health and not listen to medical propaganda.

INTERNET MARKETING CENTER

I have had a number of subscribers and other practitioners write to me to ask how to start a web site...whether your site is for information or to sell on the Internet..I cannot endorse any one's teaching and guidance as much as Corey Rudl's expertise.

Here is someone who started with nothing in 1995..actually only $25.00 to obtain an internet connection to a man with an amazingly successful business..grossing some $6,000,000.00 plus per year.

Although this site is not about financial gain..things are made available to those who cannot obtain them close by..but about teaching YOU, the discerning public how to make good health choices for you and your family..Corey's information helped me enormously on how to set up the site, search engine optimization, developing this newsletter and the opt-in e-mail list, etc. 

You could not obtain better assistance anywhere in my opinion. 

Maybe someone you know would love this directive for Christmas!
