1: Opening Letter
************************************** OPENING LETTER:
What causes disease and how best do we heal ourselves?
First, I feel there is way too much emphasis on symptoms and
the cure or treatment of illness. Whereas orthodox medicine is
faulted on treating with pharmaceutical drugs and surgery, we
ought to also fault alternative medicine for treating with herbs,
vitamins, diet, and numerous "healing modalities", some of which
border on the spiritual or esoteric (many of which are bogus),
instead of searching deeper and dealing with the real cause. I would go further to say, the greatest way in which anyone and everyone can prevent future illness, stress, anxiety, disease, is to meditate daily. How to do it? Simply sit comfortable, away from all distractions or possibility of distraction. Concentrate on the center between your eyes, and keep it there. Detach from all thoughts that rise up from your own personality and brain. Keep bringing your attention back to the center between your eyebrows. This will progressively create a connection between you and your soul or higher self. This will result in greater self realization, wholeness, spiritual growth, and greater health and well-being on all levels. Even in the most mundane experiences of your life, you will experience greater love, goodness, vitality and wonderful coincidences. Hope you enjoy this month's newsletter, please be sure to email me your comments. Many blessings,
Timothy J. Long
****************************************** Detox Essay by a Reader: The liver and intestines have a mighty task converting our food into new cells and energy. A large portion of our vital energy goes into this process. By increasing our digestion and cleaning our organs, the whole system is revitalized. Energy is freed up to address and heal other areas. Fresh vegetables and other natural foods are loaded with enzymes and other nutrients that promote their own energy for digestion and revitalize the body, as opposed to de-vitalized, overcooked, overprocessed, 'dead' food which requires your body to sacrifice energy to try and break it down. In today's society our diets and lifestyles result in at least some toxicity, and it benefits everyone to cleanse. In the fall and spring the body readjusts to new conditions, and many people get colds during these times because of the toxic buildup in their intestines and livers (also the lungs and kidneys). Modern science can not begin to try and create an artificial liver, because of the multitude of chemical conversions and bodily processes that the liver is capable of controlling. A healthy liver is able to recognize thousands, probably hundreds of thousands of foreign chemicals and convert them into less harmful chemicals. When the liver's health is compromised by chemical toxicity and pollution from improper diet, its capability to perform this task is greatly hindered, and the person will experience an increase in ill-health, a greater likelihood of genetic mutations leading to diseases such as cancer, and increased birth defects and susceptibility to disease passed on to future generations. Keeping your body's natural detoxification and digestive systems as healthy as possible will go a long way in preventing future problems and creating a healthier, happier life. Again, fresh vegetables (and fruits to a lesser extent, since they can raise blood sugar too much) are a great aid in revitalizing the body. Raw vegetables will increase your bodies vital life force and aid in the digestion of other foods. (Adequate quality protein should also not be neglected, as it rebuilds the body as no other foods can.) Drinking adequate fresh water (between meals, not with) allows the body to transport nutrients and waste effectively, and the body is able to create new cells more easily. Herbal products such as Cassies Tea and Liver support by Therazyme cleanse and rejuvenate the liver. Other products such as Colon Support Formula cleanses the intestines. Rebuilding the intestines natural flora is also a wise idea. Cutting out sweets and replacing them with better choices is extremely helpful in reducing the body's toxicity, improving assimilation of nutrients and the rebuilding of the body. You are what you eat, your body is constantly replacing old cells and striving to maintain a balance of thousands of nutrients, hormones, biochemicals. We all can take the opportunity to create for ourselves better health and better lives.
****************************************** SENT IN BY A READER: Subject: ASAP Ever wonder about the abbreviation A.S.A.P.? Generally we think of it in terms of even more hurry and stress in our lives. Maybe if we think of this abbreviation in a different manner, we will begin to find a new way to deal with those rough days along the way. "There's work to do, deadlines to meet; You've got no time to spare, But as you hurry and scurry- ASAP-ALWAYS SAY A PRAYER In the midst of family chaos, "Quality time" is rare. Do your best; let God do the rest- ASAP-ALWAYS SAY A PRAYER. It may seem like your worries are more than you can bare. Slow down and take a breather- ASAP-ALWAYS SAY A PRAYER. God knows how stressful life is; He wants to ease our cares, And He'll respond A.S.A.P.- ALWAYS SAY A PRAYER. Today I'm saying a little prayer that GOD will smile on you and send you all the special blessings you deserve. Pass it on ASAP
********************************************* Source: ArcaMax, Inc. VITAMIN E AND MENTAL DECLINE A study of more than 6,000 people over 64 showed that a high intake of vitamin E from foods and/or dietary supplements was associated with reduced memory loss and other cognitive dysfunctions. The study, which began in 1993, measured changes in cognitive function of people living in a residential community. The study, conducted over a three-year period, surveyed participants about their usual diet including their use of vitamin supplements. Martha Morris, principal author of the study and assistant professor in the department of internal medicine at Rush-Presbyterian-St. Luke's Medical Center in Chicago, presented details of her findings in Washington at the World Alzheimer's Congress 2000. "This study is important because most of the previous research has focused on antioxidant nutrients as treatment therapy in persons who already have Alzheimer's or Parkinson's disease. There is limited study on whether dietary intake of antioxidant nutrients can protect against the disease," said Morris. Los Angeles physician Dr. Ray Sahelian, author of Mind Boosters: A Guide to Natural Supplements That Enhance Your Mind, Memory, and Mood, said: "I recommend my patients take between 30 and 200 international units of Vitamin E a day, along with 100 to 250 mg of vitamin C. Although people do not notice an immediate effect on memory from taking antioxidants, these vitamins serve as insurance."

********************************************* SOME MORE HEALTH TIPS: ***Place living Plants throughout your home and office. This is especially important throughout the winter months. Be sure to have some flowering plants too. This will not only bring good energy on all levels into your living spaces, but they will help clean and freshen your air. ***Replace DHEA supplements with Pregnenolone, it provides the same solution, but it is a lot safer. For further information you can read about Pregnenolone in the Health Library at www.longnaturalhealth.com ***Especially during the winter months, be sure your calcium-magnesium supplement has Vitamin D in it. Long Natural Health carries Calcigard Cal-Mag Citrate 1-1 with D. And be sure to get outside in the sunlight for at least 30 minutes everyday. ***Many people work indoors and do not get enough sunlight. This can lead to depression and low energy. Be sure to get enough sunlight everyday. This is especially a problem during the winter months in the Northern United States. Some people even use special light boxes designed to provide artificial sunlight, to overcome this problem.

Announcing New Feature -- Email me a prayer request and I will add it to my next newsletter. Please do not forward me requests you receive from others, such as by email. Only send me requests that are personal to you, your family, etc. We only need their name, not an explanation of why they need prayer. I will print it in the next newsletter, and the idea is for everyone who reads it will hopefully say a prayer in response to the request. ********************************************* That is it for this month. I hope you read something here that will improve your life. Remember, I always like to hear your feedback :) Yours in good health,
Timothy J. Long
