QUOTE OF THE MONTH:
"Just flip through the Physician's Desk Reference to grasp
the fundamental "toximolecular" nature of drugs. Delete the
side effects, warnings and contraindications from this 3,000
page book, and you're left with only about 150 pages...
For example, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs relieve
osteoarthritis pain, but they also degenerate joint tissue."
The Last Word
by Jack Challem
When will we accept what we already know about the dangers
of treating dis-ease with chemicals and drugs that have so many
side effects? We have wonderful natural means. We just all need
to try harder to find out what works and what doesn't. There
are mountains of information available now. If you have a health
problem, do not give in to what your doctor says, if he or she says
that a treatment is the 'only way' when you know it is harming you.
Search out information or people that know better. Do not give up,
insist; it is your life and body, take control of it now, and YOU WILL
find a satisfactory answer to your health problems. - TJL

OPENING LETTER
Hello Everyone,
Emotionally Upset? Put IT to work!!!
It is your choice, either you will let whatever is bothering
you irritate you inside, to repeat itself again and again in your life,
OR you can realize that energy is energy, it is all a matter
of how you direct it, and take charge of your life now!
We have all learned negative ways to channel or hold our emotions
in the past. Therefore these stuck emotions and feelings just stay in
the same pattern.
However, every now and then we are given experiences (opportunities)
to release and to redirect them. If we don't change how we channel
these opportunities, our lives just keep going around and around in the
same old circles. So what is the result? - We get the same old experiences
in our lives, nothing really changes and our lives remain essentially the same.
OR, we can use this disappointment, fear, anger, hurt, upset, whatever
emotion we are feeling, to bring about the experiences WE REALLY
WANT. Such as the experience of joy, love, prosperity, the body image
we want, a special relationship, a business success, or whatever it is for
us personally that we really want. So here I will provide another way....
I don't like formulas. So I am not going to give you a mantra, or a
black in white way of releasing or channeling energy. Here I am
just going to give you an general idea to try. It is based on the fact
that we are all made from the Divine energy of the universe, and that
this energy is fundamentally creative. We all have the power to create
our lives, we are doing it every minute of every day.
The key is to do this consciously, to create the experiences which
we really want. No two snowflakes are the same, so be inventive.
I get into the 'energy of creation' when I walk, when I drive,
when I meditate. Especially when I am emotionally upset!!
If I am alone, I just start moving my body in some way and verbalize
out loud with feeling. And I use that energy that I have just generated
to 'create my life'. I do this with the full conscious intention that I
only want what is for my highest good, and then I just say to the best
of my ability what I feel in the deepest part of mySelf I can contact.
I say it in the present tense what it is I want: "I AM... I AM experiencing...
I HAVE NOW in my life.....I FEEL..."
Often it is important to make it clear what I don't want first. However, I
certainly put the emphasis on what I do want.
"I AM EXPERIENCING... NOW!" You know when you get 'sick and
tired' of something, how emotionally strong and definite you get? How
everyone around you gets the idea you mean it! How you finally get
respect and action! That is the idea.
You need to come from that deep committed, definite, direct place.
Tell it to the Universe, to God, the angels, your deepest self, to those
around you that you care about -- Just Say It, and mean it!
Then begin from that moment forward to act as if it is real. Believe
it is so. Go for it!
Faith is the key to the kingdom of heaven on earth.
As you believe so it will be.
What you ask for you get.
What you think becomes your reality.
What You FEEL becomes your reality all the faster.
Remind yourself often that you have the power to create whatever
you want through your feelings and your focus. Expect what you
want. Have your intentions set firm.
Last but not least, cultivate a feeling in your heart and energy-field
of gratitude and joy that what you want and how you want to
experience life is reality now. Carry a feeling of wonder with you always,
of how beautiful life really is, as you live in oneness with the flow of divine
creation. Life is good when you follow the joy you allow to radiate from your heart.
I hope you are enjoying these beautiful days of summer.
Enjoy the rest of the newsletter...
With Love,
Timothy J. Long

THE POWER OF PRAYER: More Evidence
Clinical studies continue to show prayer heals. Dr. Larry Dossey
revealed the results of a second phase study at Duke University on the
power of prayer.
The MANTRA project at Duke is headed up by cardiologist Dr. Mitchell
Krucoff and nurse practitioner, Susan Craven. The results show that heart
patients who receive prayer have 50 percent to 100 percent fewer side
effects than those patients not prayed for.
If patients agreed to be part of the study they were randomized and the
"prayer" patients' names went to prayer groups around the world. First
names only were sent via e-mail to Buddhist groups in Nepal, Hindus in
India and Jewish groups in Jerusalem. Catholic nuns, Unity Village
Missouri and Protestants in North Carolina also participated.
The full report on the study will be published in an upcoming issue of the
American Journal of Cardiology, according to Dossey. It will be the first
time a heart journal has published a study on the effects of "distance" prayer.
Dossey also noted hundreds of other studies on the power of prayer that,
until now, have been mostly ignored by the allopathic, or traditional medical
community. However based on the Duke study Dossey concluded, "There's
no going back. This is a huge transition in medicine. Medicine will not be able
to retreat from the impact."

EMAILS AND TESTIMONIALS
>>>>>>>
AN EMAIL I RESPONSE I RECENTLY SENT - TJL
Dear 'Client',
Yes, I see your mom is 'no good' as they say.
But you have to come out of the victim consciousness.
You will see what I mean when you read the book Radical Forgiveness.
Also, the nightmares, yes, I got the idea they were not good dreams.
But getting 'rid of them' is kind of like shoving in your feelings and
cutting off from them. They go no where. They stay there to rise again
one way or another. I understand nightmares are no fun, but they will
stop when you fully face your shadow and feel your true feelings. You
need to get to the bottom of what your life experience of your
mother MIRRORS in yourself - what your inner self wants to heal.
What you judge and see in your mother that bothers you, is also in you.
Maybe not in the same way, but in SOME way it is in you, and the only
way away from your mother is to clear what ever it is in yourself.
You are embarking on a very interesting journey and you will be
very happy you did!
Believe me, I have gratitude at this point how 'messed up' the people
I lived with were and once called family, and how bad 'they hurt me'.
Ultimately, 'they helped me' see parts of myself that were hidden that
needed light shown on them. And it has nothing to do with anything they
or anyone could have even guessed at. Sometimes it is a subtle thing.
I am ten times a more joyful, healthy person today than I was before
they came into my life, 'destroyed' who I thought I was, and left.
You are actually lucky to have a mother like yours. The worse our family
members are, the greater blessings and opportunities we have to heal and
transform our lives. God doesn't give us anything we cannot handle or that
isn't OURS TO OWN.
You can conclude, with your experience of your mom, you have a LARGE
wonderful part of yourSELF you have YET TO OWN.
Just keep seeing everything 'blocking' your path, 'aggravating you' as a
mirror of a part of yourself that you need to own. And your life will begin
to flow so wonderfully. Another way of saying it, is to pull back all your
judgments of others, and ask 'how is it true about me?'
I am excited for you, to be willing to really take an honest look at yourself
through the mirrors of your experiences with people around you, is going
to help bring to you the life you really want. Your life is going to change in
wonderful ways. Enjoy the journey! - Timothy

EMAIL RESPONSES TO JUNE'S NEWSLETTER:
>>>>>>>
Thank you very much for your e-mail ['The Opportunity' essay published in
last month's newsletter], it has motivated me to take action.
I have always been a firm believer of the great power of the energy within
ourselves; in fact my philosophy in life is that 'All my dreams can come
true if I have the courage to pursue them'. This philosophy has made me
very successful in my life in general; however, I just realized through your
words, that I am not using this magnificent power to better my health.

Hello, I really enjoyed your article this month and wanted to share some
information that someone else shared with me about clearing emotions.
Sometimes it helps to write a letter to the person whom you are angry
or upset with and tell them in the letter all the things that you are
forgiving them for but instead of sending them the letter, you burn it and
with the smoke let all your bad emotions go away. It worked for me.
Hopefully this will help others.

I want to thank you for the wonderful advice. I have just recently learned
this year how to be on top of my emotions and thoughts better. The proverb,
we are what is in our hearts. Every time a negative thought comes I try to
quickly grab it and say no, that is a lie or turn it to the positive. If I
am real quick that day, I will tell the devil thank you for reminding me to
praise the Lord. I pray this message will change peoples lives and give them
the sense of who God wanted us to become. If we could all remember that
Jesus gave us a new commandment to love one another as he has loved us,
we truly would be a great people among people.
Thanks again, and I look forward to hearing more,
God bless.

Thank you so much for this excellent piece of writing. I did not realize
just how important salt and water is.
You have mentioned some of the biggest truths about our healthcare system
and the way in which the medical profession refuses to look at the cause and
will only ever treat the symptoms as without disease, there is no money to
be made.
Keep em coming !!!

MORE HEALTH TIPS:
***People who spend a lot of time working or
playing in the sun need to be sure to protect themselves
from sun damage by supplementing with vitamins C, A,
and E. The sun depletes these from your skin and body, so
your need for them is also higher than normal.
Some excellent sources of these I have found are
Therazyme Opt for C, Halibut Liver Oil for A, and
TocopherALL for E. All three of these superb antioxidants
can be ordered through www.naturalhealthinfo.com
BetaCarotene is not the same as vitamin A. In fact, taking
large doses of betacarotene, over 5000 units will interfere
with assimilation of vital vitamin A, the fat soluble form of A.
Betacarotene is the water soluble form. People with low thyroids
especially need to pay attention to this.
Also, ascorbic acid, what is commonly referred to as vitamin C, is
not. You need to take a whole food, full spectrum source, Therazyme
Opt fulfills this need. The same story with vitamin E. What is called
vitamin E is almost always just one part of the molecule. You need
the whole natural form with all the tocopheralls. Thus the name
TocopherALL, and it is in olive oil, not soy, etc.
These three vitamins, C, A, and E, will do far more to protect you
from sun damage than the lotions people put on their skin.
***In the final end, when all is said and done, bought and sold,
tried, used, abused, invented, reinvented, or celebrated as new,
the final answer, or the same old answer in a new package,
there is only one health remedy, one energy in and around everything,
the reason why anything works, only one healer: Call it God, Christ, I AM
presence, Source, Universal Energy, Light, Angels, Miracles... or
whatever you were taught or believe or became fixed on. The point is,
the closer you can come in your conscious realization, that there is only
one energy, most universally called 'God', that is all and everything.
So why not work with God as directly as you will possibly allow yourself?
I would not say to exclusively work spiritually, and do nothing else.
However do not JUST take vitamins, exercise, take your medication, get
surgery, meditate, go to church, say the Rosary, do yoga, use frequency
devices, color healing, hum, or whatever turns you on and connects you to
the beauty and joy and healing force that IS. Instead, along with whatever
you feel is helping you, that you enjoy, ALWAYS work directly through
your own heart and mind with God.
See, and say, and feel, and believe, connect with, and channel this energy
behind and in all energies, directly through your hurt, or pain, or organ, or
where ever your energy or emotions are stuck in your body/mind, and assert
that all is well. Say, something along the lines of, 'I AM healthy... Now.' See it,
know it, FEEL it.
Send love into your pain, into your fear. Transform it, allow it to become
love.
For there really is no other reality. Only our fears, illusions, judgments,
and false egos stand in the way. Walk right through that which is not you.
Open the door and let the Light in. Allow your life to unfold into the healthy,
joyous experience it was always meant to be. - TJL
