"The real search of all people is for God. They may think
they are looking for other things, but they must eventually

Q & A
E-MAIL EXCHANGES WITH READERS:

***A client wrote in asking about taking progesterone during pregnancy. I emailed it over to Dr. Raymond Peat, and here was his answer:
"The last chapter of Katarina Dalton's book, PMS and Progesterone Therapy, discusses pregnancy. Babies turn out about 40 IQ points brighter; the more she gave, the brighter the babies. The same effect has been seen in chickens, rats, and dogs. It helps to expand blood volume and sustain glucose and salts, nourishing the brain. Thyroid and protein are the other main brain development factors."

ONE BIG REASON to start buying and eating ORGANIC FOOD
Quoted from Whitaker's Health and Healing Newsletter:
"Readers deterred by the cost of organic foods might want to consider the following: Over 1.2 billion pounds of pesticides and herbicides are sprayed on or added to our crops--roughly 10 pounds of pesticides for each man, woman, and child...77% of conventionally grown fruits and vegetables contain pesticide residue...some penetrate the entire fruit or vegetable and cannot be washed off. Over 50 different pesticides are used on broccoli, 60 on green beans, 70 on bell peppers, and 110 on apples. Imported foods are especially likely to be hazardous, as pesticides banned here are shipped to other countries, where they are used on their agricultural products. Pesticide residues are also concentrated in animal fat, meat, eggs, cheese, and milk. If you'd like to start shopping in the organic food section of your grocery or health food store, begin with a few of the most heavily treated foods: Tomatoes, potatoes, oranges, lettuce, and apples. And you might try cleaning your produce with a special rinse such as Healthy Harvest Fruit & Vegetable Rinse which is available in health food stores."

SENT IN BY A READER:

Thank you Melissa for sending this along...

A philosophy professor stood before his class and, as class began, wordlessly picked up a large empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with rocks, each about 2" in diameter.

He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was. So the professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles, of course, rolled into the open spaces between the rocks. The students laughed. The professor, still without a word, picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up the rest of the space.

"Now," said the professor, "I want you to recognize that this is your life. The big rocks are the important things -- your marriage, your health, your children-anything that is so important to you that if it were lost, you would be nearly destroyed."

"The pebbles are the other things that matter, like your job, your house, and your car. The sand is everything else-the small stuff. If you put the sand into the jar first, there is no room for the pebbles or the rocks."

"The same goes for your life. If you spend all your energy and time on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important to you. Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Share with your spouse. Play with your children. Take time to get medical checkups. "There will always be time to go to work, and wax the car, and give a dinner party and fix the disposal."

"Take care of the rocks first -- the things that really matter."

SOME MORE HEALTH TIPS

Vitamins VS God and the Power of Your Mind

One day a man was taking all his pills. A vitamin for this, a mineral for that, an herb, another, and yet another 'super powerful immune enhancer'. It seems every day someone tells us of the latest and greatest supplement -- 'bigger and better than all the rest'. And as he was downing the last handful and about to run out the door, his friend walked by and whispered in his ear, "Don't forget to take God." The man's jaw dropped, he had never thought of that. All day long he thought about it. Hmm, 'I believe more in my pills than I do in God. I spend more time and money and energy searching out the latest food, diet, vitamin information, than I do communicating with God.'

It seems we spend an awful lot of energy everyday getting things done, getting things we need - rushing about and getting stressed out. So many people are seeking out doctors, therapists, healers, books on health, etc. in an effort to find relief from numerous complaints that plague their bodies and minds. But wouldn't it make sense to put the majority of this energy, time and expense into forming a direct relationship with God? Why not work with God energy directly? Why go through all these doctors and healers? Why so many different diets, herbs, pills, and supplements? Are not all of these things just little bits of God? Why not spend more time and energy going after and receiving the real thing?

Within each person is a direct connection to all the energy of the universe, a direct connection to God. We access this energy through what we THINK and FEEL. What we think and feel will become our experience of tomorrow. Until we change how it is we think and feel, we will keep getting more of the same in our lives. You don't even have to believe it, just say what you want, conjure up feelings to go along with it -- imagine it if you will. Just try it, and find out for yourself if this is what Jesus meant or not when He said, (loosely quoted and condensed) "Ask and you will receive, knock and the door will open. As you believe, it will be so. Have the faith of a child, and all will be given to you!"

Use your own power of words and expression, use your own powers of feeling and imagination TO CONSCIOUSLY CREATE the health you want to have, the relationships you want to have, ANYTHING you want to have.

Think about it, do you believe more in your own God given inner power to create good health in your body, or, like the man above, do you forget often about God, and instead keep your focus on and in your doctors, medicines, and vitamins pills?

--Timothy Long

PRAYER REQUESTS:

+++Please pray for our brothers and sisters in Africa who are fighting both AIDS and starvation, along with the greed of the developed world. Didn't Jesus say when the least of us suffers, He and all of us suffer too? Ask God within yourself - what can I do to help?

+++Please keep praying for lasting peace in the world, especially in the Middle East

+++Pray that the world's lenders forgive the debts of the nations that are enslaved by their ever mounting debt

+++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. Keep them short, a few lines is best. Give a full name if you can, a birth date and place of residence would be good too. I will print it in the next newsletter, and hopefully everyone will keep the requests in their prayers.

Visit the nearest Unity group near you. All spiritual faiths are invited. I have been to some of these services and they are quite wonderful. Every congregation is a bit different.
