OPENING LETTER

Hello Everyone,

Along with many people, I am uneasy about the military response, though I believe there needed to be a response. And of course I am also uneasy about the possibility of continued terrorist attacks. These are not easy times, but I believe many changes are underway and the whole world will come out of this stronger, wiser, and a place of greater unity and peace. I am very heartened to see so many positive effects resulting from this tragedy. Overall, there definitely is a greater expression of unity amongst people and nations. There is a deepened desire for peace and brotherhood; a new awareness of the needs and desires of all humanity, and a new level of caring being expressed across our nation and throughout the world. Spiritually, there is a renewed expression of belief in our oneness, in God, and a renewal of prayer and meditation both privately and publicly. This should ignite our hope and faith, that 'we the people' can create a world where everyone, not only can 'imagine peace', but working together we can create it now throughout the world. There are so many opportunities to help, if you can't think of one, pray for an answer.

Changing the subject, I want to take a moment to apologize for a few slip ups I made when passing on statements and emails sent to me. I usually eliminate all personal references and last names, and sometimes change first names as well. I messed up a few times lately. I regret this, and ask your understanding and help. Please help me by stating in your emails whether or not I can pass on your statements, testimonials, prayer requests, etc., and whether or not you wish your personal info eliminated. This will help me a lot, and also be a reminder. Thanks.

As we move into fall, it is a good time to review our health programs, and if warranted, to make some changes. Thus we can avoid and prevent illnesses such as colds and flu's. This is also a good time of year to do some gentle cleansing of the body. In my catalog you will find 'Oral Chelation', 'Therazyme LVR', and 'Colon Support Formula'. These are all excellent for cleansing different, but related areas of the body. If you have not used these products in the past few years, or worse never, I would suggest exploring this suggestion. Feel free to call me directly on the phone, or email, if you would like my help to make a more informed decision.

Sincerely,
Timothy J. Long

FLUORIDE...
Making Toothpaste a Toxic Drug

If you haven't read the back of your toothpaste label recently, you are in for shock. On my desk in front of me is a tube of Kids Crest, billed as a "Sodium FLUORIDE Anti-cavity Toothpaste." Straight forward enough except for one thing...there's a new WARNING LABEL on the back that reads; "WARNINGS: Keep out of reach of children under 6 years of age. If you accidentally swallow more than used for brushing, Seek PROFESSIONAL HELP or contact a POISON CONTROL center immediately."

If the words "professional help" and "poison control center" don't grab your attention, they should. Since mid-1997, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has mandated all toothpastes containing FLUORIDE to carry this warning. And for good reason. An overwhelming, growing body of evidence, plus old WWII secret government documents now available all point to FLUORIDE as being a toxic drug NOT FIT FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION. (1)
Even the FDA has finally raised an eyebrow... enough to mandate this warning be included on labeling. The mandate is significant because it means the FDA now regards fluoride laden toothpaste as a potential toxic drug!

The percentage of fluoride cannot be above 1000 ppm for adult and 500 ppm for children. The Crest "Kid's" formula contains 0.15% w/v fluoride ion. (2) So how is that legally possible? It's obvious that Crest is deliberately targeting small children ...the same group of kids the WARNING LABEL is pointing to.

If the formulation contains fluoride ion higher than 1000 ppm, it can cause poisoning; and the fluoride ion can react with calcium ion and magnesium in the human body and cause low level calcium ion and magnesium ion in blood. In some cases it has caused heart and muscle problems. If a child were to take a big spoonful of this fluoride and get it down, it is a poison that could kill the child. That is why the government has finally decided to act on this long standing issue regarding fluoridation.

Of course, many communities have fluoridated their drinking water for many years now, supposedly to fight tooth decay. But, John R. Lee, M.D. a fluoride toxicity researcher since 1972, calls that a myth. He further states the myth has been perpetuated via "clever propaganda." He believes adding fluoride to water supplies was a contrivance to dispose of waste byproducts from the fertilizer and aluminum industries. There is a large volume of evidence to support his belief. (3)

Today a growing number of doctors and researchers are expressing concern over public exposure to the chemical, which has led some cities to vote against water fluoridation. Jonathon Wright, M.D., medical researcher of the Tahoma Clinic in Kent Washington says that, "When folks are fully informed (about fluoride), they usually turn it down." (4)

Even so, fluoridation of water and toothpaste continues to be endorsed by various health officials and the American Dental Association (ADA).

How much fluoride are you ingesting? There's no way to know if you are ingesting over the recommended levels or not. Even if you don't use a fluoride toothpaste or routinely drink water from a source that is fluoridated, you still may be ingesting unknown levels of fluoride. Many commercial sodas, juices and other water-based food products may contain fluoride if they are produced where the water is fluoridated.

As for toothpaste, I recommend you use a proven formula of natural ingredients, free of harmful chemicals. (see what EOO's disclaimer above says about chemicals and drugs)

Special Report...Fluoride Use and Osteoporosis:

EOO is pleased to offer a report authored by Dr. John Lee entitled, A Brief Account of the Fluoridation And Hip Fracture Problem. Dr. Lee has established a direct link between fluoride use, osteoporosis and increased incidence of hip fractures. To obtain an Email copy of this report, send a request to: EOO@lynngroup.com In the Subject/Command Line of your mailer write; Send Dr. Lee's Report

***For over twenty years I have taught that fluoride should not be in your toothpaste, water, soda, juice, etc. Fluoride is also one of the main causes of thyroid problems, and this also leads into hormone imbalances, cancer, etc. One of the main reasons I recommend and make available via my web site the Sun Pure Water Purifier, is because it removes fluoride from your drinking water. I can't stress more the importance of drinking pure, unchlorinated, lead, plastic, and fluoride free water every day. ~ TJL

OPEN LETTER FROM THE DALAI LAMA

Dear friends around the world,

The events of this day cause every thinking person to stop their daily life's, whatever is going on in them and to ponder deeply the larger questions of life. We search again for not only the meaning of life, but the purpose of our individual and collective experience as we have created it-and we look earnestly for ways in which we might recreate ourselves anew as a human species, so that we will never treat each other this way again.

The hour has come for us to demonstrate at the highest level our most extraordinary thought about Who We Really Are.

There are two possible responses to what has occurred today. The first comes from love, the second from fear.

If we come from fear we may panic and do things-as individuals and as nations-that could only cause further damage. If we come from love we will find refuge and strength, even as we provide it to others.

This is the moment of your ministry. This is the time of teaching. What you teach at this time, through your every word and action right now, will remain as indelible lessons in the hearts and minds of those whose lives you touch, both now, and for years to come.

We will set the course for tomorrow, today. At this hour. In this moment. Let us seek not to pinpoint blame, but to pinpoint cause.

Unless we take this time to look at the cause of our experience, we will never remove ourselves from the experiences it creates.. Instead, we will forever live in fear of retribution from those within the human family who feel aggrieved, and, likewise, seek retribution from them.

To us the reasons are clear. We have not learned the most basic human lessons. We have not remembered the most basic human truths. We have not understood the most basic spiritual wisdom. In short, we have not been listening to God, and because we have not, we watch ourselves do ungodly things.

The message we hear from all sources of truth is clear: We are all one. That is a message the human race has largely ignored. Forgetting this truth is the only cause of hatred and war, and the way to remember is simple: Love, this and every moment.

If we could love even those who have attacked us, and seek to understand why they have done so, what then would be our response? Yet if we meet negativity with negativity, rage with rage, attack with attack, what then will be the outcome?

These are the questions that are placed before the human race today. They are the questions we have failed to answer for thousands of years. Failure to answer them now could eliminate the need to answer them at all.

If we want the beauty of the world that we have co-created to be experienced by our children and our children's children, we will have to become spiritual activists right here, right now, and cause that to happen. We must choose to be at cause in the matter.

So, talk with God today. Ask God for help, for counsel and advice for insight and for strength and for inner peace and for deep wisdom. Ask God on this day to show us how to show up in the world in a way that will cause the world itself to change. And join all those people around the world who are praying right now, adding your Light to the Light that dispels all fear.

That is the challenge that is placed before every thinking person today. Today the human soul asks the question: What can I do to preserve the beauty and the wonder of our world and to eliminate the anger and hatred-and the disparity that inevitably causes it - in that part of the world which I touch?

Please seek to answer that question today, with all the magnificence that is You. What can you to TODAY...at this very moment?

A central teaching in most spiritual traditions is: What you wish to experience, provide for another.

Look to see, now, what it is you wish to experience-in your own life, and in the world. Then see if there is another for whom you may be the source of that.

If you wish to experience peace, provide peace for another.

If you wish to know that you are safe, cause another to know that they are safe.

If you wish to better understand seemingly incomprehensible things, help another to better understand.

If you wish to heal your own sadness of anger, seek to heal the sadness or anger of another.

Those others are waiting for you now. They are looking to you for guidance, for help, for courage, for strength, for understanding and love.

My religion is very simple. My religion is kindness.

Dalai Lama

MORE HEALTH TIPS:

Do you, or know anyone who uses artificial sweeteners? Please read on...

"Onto some great news. I'll backtrack... Bruce's mother has had problems with a condition called vasculitis. She gets ulcer-like sores on her legs and arms that won't heal. She's been to dermatologists, oncologists, internists and all the other "ists"), as well as having biopsies and MRI's and CT scans. The only thing they could do for her was to put her on the steroid prednizone. It made her high and silly and agitated and bloated. The sores went away. As soon as she was weaned off the prednizone, the sores returned. Now here is the good part...she stopped using "sweet and low" and "equal" sugar substitutes and started using stevia (my suggestion after you had told me) and guess what? The sores are gone!!... those sugar substitutes really do a number on a person. By the way, she really likes the flavor of the stevia; much better than the flavor of the sweet and low."

***Stevia can be purchased in most health stores, and also from the Grain and Salt Society. It has no negative sugar affect on the body, in fact, in helps tremendously to balance blood sugar and stress problems. Diabetics can use it and it will help them. Stevia is a natural plant. It is very sweet. Use it to your hearts delight. -- TJL

***Miraculous Messages from Water. These photos should make it clear how powerful your thoughts and energy are; how powerful prayer is, and why you want to pray over your food, for your friends and family, and for our whole world. http://www.wellnessgoods.com/art_wat_messages.html

***Argentine Tango I am finding that learning to dance, especially the Argentine Tango, is a highly beneficial, and joyful, pathway toward developing physical-emotional-and spiritual wholeness. I highly recommend it. Here in Colorado we have a wonderful couple teaching Tango, Deb Sclar and Brian Dunn. They give private lessons and teach classes in both Boulder and Denver. Here is a link to their web site. www.danceoftheheart.com

KEEPING ALIGNED, CENTERED AND HEALTHY

I am suggesting in times especially like these, but always, to make it a practice to take at least 10 minutes each day to pray and meditate. Become aware of your breathing, clear your head. Get in touch with your body and inner self. This will help your life tremendously on many levels. Also, get outside and spend time in nature, walking, exercising, just enjoying the beauty that surrounds you. Take time to smell the roses! Hug a family member or friend. No matter what stresses are going on in our lives or world, it is important to keep deeply in touch with what brings us joy and to remain connected to our human-spiritual roots. -- TJL
