To a preacher who kept saying, "We must put God in our lives," Anthony de Mello, S.J.
********************************* TABLE OF CONTENTS:
1) Opening Letter
********************************* OPENING LETTER Dear Subscribers, I am getting this month's letter out just in time to wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving! This is traditionally the beginning of the holiday season that extends now through Christmas and the celebration of the New Year. There is much inspiration and opportunity at this time to heal old wounds, renew relationships, and to reach out to family and friends. The opportunity is great to bring more peace and joy into the world. As the sun goes lower in the sky, and the days become shorter, we naturally go inward as well. We may find ourselves reevaluating our circumstances, our purpose; wondering what is the meaning of our lives. For those of you who do not yet meditate and pray daily, this is a wonderful time to begin. Somehow it is easier now to access God in ourselves, than at other times of the year. Many people also find inspiration this time of year to reach out and help those less fortunate than themselves. Ask for opportunities to give, and say 'yes' when asked. What the world needs now, what it has always needed, is our love and assistance. We are the world. Giving to others is the same as giving to yourself. I am a firm believer, that whatever we want to come into our lives, we are wise to freely give it to others at every chance possible. What we send out, returns. (The reverse is true also. If you don't like what is coming to you, ask yourself how you are sending similar energies out.) I will close by asking your help in my research. I am seeking products or methods that work for the following: Hair loss, graying hair, candida yeast, and stubborn skin fungus/jock itch. If you have any personal experiences, or information concerning these problems, please pass it on to me. Thank you. Enjoy life now, and have a wonderful holiday,
Timothy Long

SOY FOODS HAVE DOWNSIDE FOR HEALTH OF INFANTS, ADULTS Myra was like a lot of educated women today. She listened to dietary advice and ate more vegetarian foods. She heard from many experts that soy foods were great for her heart so she began to eat soy several times a day. She loved soy milk, soy cheese, soy cereal, soy burgers, soy bacon, tofu etc, etc. She often had soy supplements. She was wondering why on such a healthy diet she couldn't lose an ounce, no matter what she did. In fact, over the last few years she'd gained steadily. Her energy seemed to disappear and she developed dry skin, a puffy face, headaches, constipation, and painful joints. She always felt cold, and had to fight depression. She chalked it all up to aging, but a thyroid test found her thyroid gland was hardly functioning. Of all the risk factors for developing thyroid disease, Myrna was shocked to discover that over-consumption of soy foods was the major culprit. Soy is touted as a wonder food, and even the Food and Drug administration released a statement last year saying that soy products could help prevent heart disease. No longer confined to health food stores, soy products are in every supermarket. But through all the hype, many scientists are challenging the safety of soy products. Two of those scientists, soy researchers with the FDA National Center for Toxicological Research, tried to stop the FDA statement with a protest letter about the negative health effects of soy. Their letter and other concerns about soy can be found at www.brain.com or www.soyonlineservice.co.nz Apparently scientists have known for years that the isoflavones in soy products can depress thyroid function and cause goiters in otherwise healthy children and adults. Researchers at Cornell University Medical College said that children who got soy formula were more likely to develop thyroid disease and that twice as many diabetic children had received soy formula in infancy as compared to non-diabetic children. In fact, in other countries such as Switzerland, England, Australia and New Zealand, public health officials recommend highly restricted medically monitored use of soy for babies and for pregnant women. Soy formula is a lifesaver for the 3 to 4 percent of babies allergic to cows milk, but it is so widely advertised that it is sold to 25% of the entire formula market. Soy also contains a natural estrogen, which is why it is recommended to women at menopause. The president of the Maryland Nutritionists Association, Mary Enig, Ph.D. stated that "The amount of phytoestrogens that are in a days worth of soy infant formula equals five birth control pills." Dr. Enig believes that soy infant formula may be associated with early puberty in girls and slower physical growth in boys. Others say it may effect fertility and normal brain development. Brain.com reports an ongoing study involving 3,734 elderly Japanese-American men. That research has found that the men who ate the most tofu during mid-life had up to 2.4 times the risk of later developing Alzheimer's disease. Lead researcher Dr. Lon R. White said that men who ate tofu at least twice weekly showed brain aging about five years faster than those who seldom ate tofu. Soy has also been implicated in interference with the absorption of zinc, calcium, protein enzymes and amino acids. Soy is an important crop on American farms, and there is a strong soy lobby. Nutritionists may urge people, especially women to eat more of it, citing the good health of the Japanese and Chinese. But as Dr. Larrian Gillespie, MD says, "I was recently in China and saw how little soy is used in the daily diet of the Chinese. We in America think we must consume the entire container of tofu in one or two days, when that is enough for a whole week!" So moderation is a good rule for soy as for everything else. The supplements in particular are unnecessary over-consumption. Susan Star Paddock, MSW, is family counselor and family business consultant in Gettysburg, PA.

***************************************** LIFE IS FOR GIVING When Albert Schweitzer said, "The only ones of you who will be truly happy are those who have found and learned how to serve," he was stating an ancient truth--that the meaning of life lies in giving. The quality of your life is in direct proportion to your willingness to give. In the classic movie "It's a Wonderful Life," George Bailey discovered this truth. Though he had many opportunities to pursue his ambitions elsewhere, George remained in his community and dedicated himself to providing affordable housing to its members. When his guardian angel showed him what the town would be like if he had never been born, Bailey realized how much of a difference his giving had made. George also discovered another secret--that what you give is what you receive. Whatever you give out comes back to you. When you extend yourself to nurture the spiritual growth of another, you nurture your own growth. Although his material possessions were modest, George Bailey was toasted the "richest" (i.e., the most beloved) man in town by the people of Bedford Falls. Later he remarked, "No man can be poor as long as he has friends." Bailey gave of himself for the joy of giving, and joy is what he received. By following this path, we, too, can be blessed.

************************************* MORE HEALTH TIPS: ***The cooler weather and shorter days (less sunlight) tend to increase hypothyroid problems. If you are experiencing increased depression, insomnia, cold hands and extremities, hair loss, fatigue, loss of libido or vitality, perhaps you need to support your thyroid gland. I will email additional information to anyone who requests it at timothylong@longnaturalhealth.com ***Beware that chlorine and fluoride, found in most drinking water, and in many soft drinks, juices, etc. contributes to low thyroid. Chlorine and fluoride also contribute to cancer, respiratory, and many other diseases. Our Sun-Pure Purifier removes both chlorine and fluoride from drinking water. And we sell a very good shower filter to remove chlorine from your shower water. We take a lot of chlorine into our bodies during showering. Taking out the chlorine will also improve the quality of your hair and skin. ***For those of you using our vitamin E product, TocopherALL, it is only necessary to use 1-3 capsules a day. Each capsule is 100 IU. TocopherALL is not only a superior vitamin E product compared to others on the market, but is very economical. I am aware that most commercial vitamin E comes in 400 IU capsules and that is the commonly recommended dose. But TocopherALL, as the name implies, is a whole, natural form of vitamin E. It does not just contain one isolated vitamin E molecule, as commonly called vitamin E products do. You can learn more about this product by visiting our health product catalog at www.longnaturalhealth.com ***I have seen more government studies lately showing that a very large percentage of our commercial meat here in the USA is contaminated with bacteria, as well as producing antibiotic resistance in those who consume it. Let this serve as one more reminder why everyone should eat organically grown meat only. And not only meat, but all other animal products, including eggs, milk, cheese, etc. Be wise, choose only organic animal products. ***As we head into the winter months, I am encouraging everyone experiencing less exposure to sunshine, to not only get out and get all the sunshine you can on short winter days, but to supplement you diet with vitamin D. I use 1-2 Halibut Liver Oil capsules daily. You can find this in the catalog. It is also an excellent choice for vitamin A. Supplementing with vitamin A is necessary for everyone who has a low thyroid function, many skin and eye problems, etc.

Kind of like when the Post Office delivers all the mail addressed to Santa to Kris Kringle in Miracle on 34th Street. Lets start our own miracle. Lets show these brave men how much we appreciate them. Thank you to the person who sent this email to me - TJL +++Please pray for an end to terrorism, and war throughout the world. And pray that our world leaders make the best decisions possible to create a world of peace and security for all the people of the world. +++Pray that each and everyone of us realizes that God is in each of us, and that each one of us can make a real difference in the world by praying and envisioning a world of peace and love for all. +++Let us all pray for the men and women of the armed services, police, and fire departments, who are putting their lives on the line for us. +++Please keep praying for lasting peace in the world, especially in the Middle East. There is only One God, One Religion - Love. +++Pray that the world's lenders forgive the debts of the nations that are enslaved by their ever mounting debt +++Pray for an end to the drug trade in the world, and that all people in positions of power, especially within governments, realize the horror of their involvement and put an end to it. +++You may email me your prayer request. I will add it to my next newsletter if you wish. Please do not forward me requests you receive from others, such as forwarded emails. Try visiting a Unity church near you. All spiritual faiths are invited. I have been to some of these services and different classes that they give and they are quite wonderful. Every congregation is a bit different. www.unityworldhq.org
*********************************** ANOTHER POINT OF VIEW In the past few months, I've heard from so many people filled with fear for the world. This is understandable. However, let me give a different point of view, and action to take. Events in our world will inspire, and are inspiring their own perceptions and attitudes. For we truly see in the world, what is in ourselves. We create in the world what is in ourselves. One of the simplest ways to change our reality, and to transmute fear into hope, is the following: Name what it is that most bothers you on a daily basis. Name what truly irks you in those people around you, in the newspaper, on the news, in your boss, wherever and whatever. Take the time daily to turn inward. Become aware of your own breathing. And ask yourself, honestly ask yourself: "How am I this way?" If you really wish to realize greater light in your life, and greater peace and love in the world, you will undoubtedly find that which angers and frightens you outside yourself - inside yourself. Just see it. Accept it. Then ask God to expand into this place within you and transform it into that which you rather be and see. The miracle is, we can co-create with God our own miracles. - TJL * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * ** * * That is it for this month. Be sure to smile and make eye contact with people you pass throughout your day. Give compliments to everyone you meet. You will be surprised how much energy and joy this will create in your life. With love and peace,
