MY SIX-MONTH DAR MEMBERSHIP

by Tricia Knoll

The Joining

Because of a maple fife.

My mother did the hard work
chasing down county seats
tracing that Webb girl,
genes where you got a second toe
longer than your big one.
The shoe fits when you honor that toe.

My grandmother, widow of the warden
wanted the grid filled
back to the Webb House,
that bawdy tavern
Braintree’s seat of battle plans.
My mother did the bidding
of grandmother’s nagging, finding

Jabez Cleveland, a fifer
in the Connecticut 8th regiment
died, thirty-eight at Bunker Hill.
He played a simple six-hole flute
of infantry battle calls
wake ups, soldiers, marching tunes
over greens, through woods
in-the-reeds shepherds songs
legacy of wind in thigh bone.

His thick blood of revolution
cries in my veins
--and in yours--
this must end
and heats me up
too many flag-draped coffins
limb from limb
so much this earth has given

Keep the simple six-hole flute
at your fingertips, my girls,
your pulse a beating drum.

The Parting of Ways

I thought learning
of generals and simple bravery
powder horns and compasses
would help me know

Jabez and his flute
the stepping drum
his blood, mine
that of my girls

Then bowed gray heads
chins to chests with golden pins
ask God
to bless America
there the flute calls me elsewhere

My Jabez plays
a humpback whale song,
a mother’s shrill screams in Gaza
above a bloody baby cradled,
plays for soldiers on both sides
wanting home
for monarchs out of milkweed,
AIDS orphans --
an aching god does not single out
the few

or ignores adopted babies
Bangladesh, Korea,
China, the Ukraine --
their blood becomes
our dearest family blood
they too may
hear a Jabez and his fife

I tuck his tune inside
my breath of reed
and boiling breast
to change direction.

Only Ten Days To A Healthy YOU!

10 DAYS TO A HEALTHY YOU! 

by Timothy McNamee

Okay so here it is! Many of you have messaged me on what exactly I “do” to stay fit and healthy, so this is my Christmas gift to all of you! With the New Year just around the corner what better way than to start it off  WELL?

First, I want to make it known what I study, and where I am coming from with all of this information - it is not my own,  it is referred to as “pH Nutrition – The New Biology of Health” by Dr. Robert O Young, a Cellular Microbiologist from California. (www.phmiracle.com) With this you work with cleaning your body’s internal terrain (blood) to achieve all of the above. In a nut shell - because our blood is essentially who we are, and what makes us; when we clean the blood, we therefore clean the body. When our blood is clean, we return back to a state of balance and harmony (mentally, physically, and emotionally).. And it is from this state we achieve optimal health and fitness goals. I have been living this way for the past 3 and a half years now, and I haven’t looked back. It is by far the most amazing thing  I have ever been introduced to, and have never seen so many goals reached, lives transformed, and miracles happen with this “way of life”.  My purpose for this blog is to answer the questions i’ve been asked, and advise you through my own personal experience of getting you on the path of building healthy blood, eliminate  your body off unnecessary foods that are serving you no purpose but the joy of in the moment, self-indulgence, fulfillment, and satisfaction! We must STOP eating in the moment, and we must START eating for the sake of our future. Let the ambition of living a healthy, disease, and illness free life be your motivation!

Before I jump right in to some “healthy advice” I want to put something into better perspective for you, and perhaps give you an extra kick of motivation. Just as we commit to the gym to get “fit” – we must also commit to making conscious decisions on what we eat. Now ask yourself – what is the reason for going to the gym? I would bet over 90% of you would say “to lose weight”. But I ask you – how did that weight get there in the first place? I now want to point out to you that achieving your health and wellness goals (WHATEVER they may be) come far before you step into your local gym. Yes, going to the gym is a wonderful thing – and your MAIN reason for going to the gym should be to sweat out unwanted toxins from your body, keep your muscles moving, your mind agile, and your heart in good shape, which in result all together contribute to weight loss. However your slim, toned body should be the results first and foremost of what you put in your mouth.

We gotta face it; we are living in a world currently “spoiled” (as I like to call it) by these “delicious” foods full of  unnesesarry preservatives, chemicals, fats, processed ingredients, and most of all EXCESS SUGAR (the main and most evil culprit to sickness, disease, and obesity). We indulge in these foods, are addicted to these foods, and quite frankly if there were “AA” meetings for “Sugar and Carb addiction” we could all sign up. Though don’t go blaming yourselves for any kind of poor nutrition choices. In all fairness to you, the majority of us are undereducated on the proper foods to eat to achieve our health and wellness goals. Actually, most of us are undereducated on how our bodies are actually supposed to operate. I am here to give you a short insight of education to make you consciously aware of better nutritional choices and way of life.

These guidelines to achieving a healthier you in 10 days, are ones I believe and have witnessed that if taken seriously can provide you with a day and potentially a lifetime full of health, your ideal body weight, happiness, a clear mind,  sustainable energy, good nights sleep, all the while targeting those unwanted pounds you may be wanting to shed.

CHEERS TO 2013!

Must need Grocery List: Lemons, Limes, Avocados, Liquid Chlorophyll; diluted or concentrate (Pure-Le Natural – glycerin free or pH Miracle ChloropHeal www.phmiracle.com), Steal Cut Oats, Almond Milk, Olive Oil, VEGETABLES! (Your choice), Himalayan Sea Salt or pH Miracle pHlavor salt, pHour salts, 1 Litre Water Bottle, Ezekiel Bread or any other yeast free bread.

*Day 1 thru 10 – Every morning when you wake up, and every evening before you go to bed, mix a 1oz shot glass of 40 drops of lemon juice in water. Followed by an additional 1 oz shot glass of diluted chlorophyll or if concentrate 15 drops chlorophyll in water.

Tip #1. DRINK (Water)! Now I want you to take your body weight, and for every 30 lbs of body weight, work up to drinking 1 Litre of Water everyday. I know, I know, don’t freak out.. It’s easier than it sounds, trust me. The reason is: our bodies are made up of 90% water and believe it or not without any physical activity we go through 2-3 Litres per day by talking, breathing, blinking, thinking, and organ functions. So it’s a safe assumption that the majority of us are internally dehydrated and don’t even know it. Actually next to excess sugar, this is our next problem. Make sure you include fresh squeeze lemon and or lime juice in ALL water you drink through out the day. This ups the alkalinity of the water, and because our blood is slightly alkaline with a pH of 7.365 it will contribute to cleaning our blood more than normal water would which has a pH of 6.5 or lower. (Anything above 7 is alkaline, anything below 7 is acid.) We want to eat foods rich in alkalinity, and therefore electrical potential which results in sustainable energy for our bodies.. For more information on the importance of Alkaline water click here! www.phmiracle.com

Tip #2. The sweeter it is, the more acidic. It’s pretty obvious to cut out sweets like chocolate, candy, ice cream etc. The higher the sugar content of something, the less we should have of it.  This also goes for fruits.. If you’re a fruit muncher, I recommend cut up white/pink grapefruit or pomegranate in substitute of anything else. For more information on the effects of sugar click here!

Tip #3. To all you caffeine drinkers! Caffeine sends the body on this roller coaster of highs and lows throughout the day, not to mention cuts off the stomach receptors (villi) that are responsible for absorbing vitamins and nutrients from foods.. This is NOT healthy and NOT what we want.. In order to maintain sustainable energy, make sure you take your shot glass of water and lemon, and water and chlorophyll in the morning.. And if you get a caffeine or sugar craving take another shot. The cravings for caffeine or sugar are our bodies cry for energy – sustainable energy.. So lets give it what it wants. For more information on the effects of caffeine click here!

Tip #4 .  The best thing you can do for breakfast is give your body a delicious alkaline meal! I like diced tomato and avocado with olive oil, or half an avocado with olive oil and sea salt, I also make steal cut oats and almond milk in substitute for oatmeal, or a piece of Ezekiel bread with almond butter, or a veggie smoothie. AVOID: Eggs.  Though delicious and popular, eggs have a very high bacterial content and mildly acidic metabolic breakdown.

Tip #5. Lunch time is probably my favourite time to eat! My typical lunch usually consists of salad or wrap jammed with any kind of veggies,maybe some tofu, feta cheese, or goat cheese. On any salad I mix lemon and/or lime juice, with olive oil and sea salt.. It’s a really simple dressing, but tastes more amazing on salad than you can imagine. Try and avoid vinaigrette’s as vinegar itself is highly acidic.

Tip #6. SUPPER TIME! Probably the biggest meal of the day for most of you, especially if you’re a breakfast or lunch skipper. Your dinner plate should be focused on vegetables and salad.. If you want to include a carb check out bismati brown rice, quinoa, buckwheat, or millet. There are also special pastas made out of those grains if you want to try them! Your local health food store should carry them. They aren’t as starchy as other carbs, but remember they’re still a carb, carbs = sugar, sugar = acid.. So eat them sparingly please!

Tip #7. BUT WHERE’S THE PROTEIN!?  Probably the most popular question in this lifestyle.. What I have been educated and have experienced with this touchy question is that our bodies only require 7 grams, yes SEVEN (7) grams of protein per day to build healthy, strong, muscle. HEALTHY MUSCLE (and energy) come from HEALTHY BLOOD, period. Healthy blood builds healthy tissue, which builds healthy muscle. No more of this amino acid stuff.. Get it? Amino ACID; An unhealthy bi-product of excess protein. Just like Lactic ACID is a bi-product of physical exercise..  Yes absolutely, muscle can be attained through animal proteins and amino acids, sure.. But it’s not a healthy form whatsoever. If you’re a work out master and wish to add additional protein, check out Manitoba Harvest Hemp Protein or pH Miracle HempH Profie or pH Miracle HempH Seeds (www.phmiracle.com). And add 1 scoop to your litre of water 2-3 times per day. AVOID Soy, Whey, Brown Rice, and Animal Protein. To learn more about protein and the pH lifestyle click here.

Alkalarian and Champion Body Builder Ryan Marcotte had no problem building muscle from blood!

Tip #8. Snacking.. Mmm I love snacks! In between meals if you get hungry EAT! But eat the right things.. I prep cut veggies with hummus, bean salad, snap peas, almonds, or brown rice crackers with almond butter. My current fave is steamed Edamame with Sea Salt and Lemon Juice! SO GOOD. All great little snacks  

Tip #9. SALT IS GOOD FOR YOU.  Here this out.. With this lifestyle, it teaches us that our bodies are a salt water matrix.. Ever wonder why your blood, sweat, tears, are salty? WITHOUT salt, the transportation and vital processes of absorption or elimination would be impossible. Dr. Oz explained on an episode of his show that “the human heart is a Salt Water Electro-Magnetic pump”. Our bodies require sodium, magnesium, potassium, and calcium as a vital part of our health. However, don’t pick up your table salt and shake it just yet.. It is correct to say the average table salt is absolutely terrible for you. If salt is white, it’s bleached, bleach = chemical, chemical = ACID! So which salt should you keep or add to your diet? Next time your in the grocery store look for non-bleached sea salt, grey salt, pink salt, himalayan salt.. All very beneficial to the body and provide us with sustainable energy!

Tip #10. Most Importantly:   Be gentle with yourself! Remember: this is starting you in moderation, giving you some good substitutes and a new way of eating, and living. Take it one day at a time, your body deserves to be treated as a temple.. It’s the only place you have to live your entire life! Smile! Be proud of yourself! This is about you and only you. You’re on the midst of making a wonderful transformation for you and those around you!

To sum this all up, Remember “COWS“!  No, NOT the meat.  Chlorophyll, Oils, Water, Salts. Four of the most important things to include in your diet everyday! Stay away from sugar, stay away from carbs (unless those specified above). DRINK YOUR WATER! Surround yourself with positive people and things, and don’t forget to pamper yourself, warm sea salt bubble baths are amazing while making this transition!

I wish you a New Year of unlimited possibilities, dreams, and desires. All the best to a new you, and a healthy, happy life!

THE PERSISTENCE OF MEMORY

by Blaise Allen

For years, I thought not wearing a watch

would protect me from the passage

of time, refused to wear them, stayed

ignorant of passing hours and minutes.

After all, we have cell phones if we really need

to know. The sun rises when I wake to pee.

It sets at dinner time, depending on the season.

Sleep happens, never according to schedule.

It’s not my own life I fear rusting away in bits:

It’s the tarnish in my dad’s hair, the scars

from heart surgery on my mother’s body,

my younger sister’s wrinkles, and mid-life grays.

It’s the dog going blind. My husband’s painful

arthritis.  And, the certain knowing, that one of us

will leave before the other. Banish that thought:

along with watches, things that tock, and balls dropping

as we count down final seconds to the New Year.

It’s the fervent wish to outlaw every clock. To melt

all time-keepers in the desert as in Dali’s landscape.

To bend time to our liking, forgo the relative end   

 of our ticking.

The Truth About Dr. Robert O. Young's Discoveries - From Losing Weight To Reversing Cancer To Curing Toe Nail Fungus

For some time I have felt a growing need to write this review because, first, there have been some rather confused discussions about "The pH Miracle for Weight Loss" including the entire pH acid-alkaline balancing science. Yet, it is not complicated. The beauty is that Dr. Young’s science has clearly articulated the infrastructure for understanding the long sought common denominator for all health, disease and dis-ease.

Second, I can see the handwriting on the wall. Dr. Robert O. Young and his extraordinarily talented wife and partner, Shelley Redford Young, are at the forefront of an obvious American revolutionary movement.

Both modest and soft-spoken leaders, the Youngs have become highly recognized spokespersons for a movement which includes an increasingly formal and cohesive fraternity of responsible Americans. This formidable group is pushing the allopathic medical industry, slowly and inexorably, toward defensive management decisions increasingly highlighted by arrogance and desperation. Fortunately for Americans, this misguided leadership is now operating in an increasingly transparent arena with less and less ability to hide their monstrous deceit.

In the 1930s, when Dr. Royal Rife reluctantly and cautiously demonstrated to members of the American Medical Association how he cured cancer, public awareness was miniscule to absent. At that time it took many months for information to be disseminated from city to city by telephone, newspapers and the fledgling radio industry.

Dr. Rife—not a medical doctor—cured 17 of 17 cancer patients in a closely monitored medical experiment in San Diego just as he had previously done with many hundreds of laboratory animals. Then, when physician members of the AMA and the medical establishment could not control the credit and the fruit of Rife’s life-long labor, they were able to suppress and blackball for decades his incredible accomplishments. Unfortunately, the world knew little to nothing of what had transpired over a several decade period, and Dr. Rife died quietly and near penniless in Mexico in 1971. (see www.royalrife.com)

Yet, “truth will out and dreams come surely true.” Operating under the radar scope of the FDA, hundreds of Rife devotees now strive to replicate and improve the science that Rife discovered more than seven decades ago. The allopathic, government-controlled, medical establishment, working hand-in-hand behind the smoke-screen science funded by the pharmaceutical industry, sets forth substantial disinformation and policing efforts aimed at suppressing and denying the efforts of complementary and alternative medical research and clinical intervention such as Rife practitioners.

Likewise, the truth and beauty of Dr. Young’s discoveries are increasingly difficult to hide from the scrutiny of all Americans. This is true despite the unscrupulous power which can and is often wielded by the pharmaceutical and medical industry.

For sure, the grasping, self-righteous and officious leaders of an increasingly pretentious and drug-oriented western medical science are now under the vigilant glare of massive, grassroots infrastructure and Internet communications technology. Because of mass communications, America’s once proud medical industry is now increasingly understood for what it has sadly become and the depths to which much of this once professional industry has descended.

Once you, the reader, understand the power and control that the trillion dollar medical-pharmaceutical complex holds over the pocketbook of America, you will begin to understand the threat that trailblazers like Dr. Robert O. Young pose to this un-American medical nightmare and the shameful money-grab which hides behind the now vulnerable skirts of western medical science. No physical science has lost its way more than medical science funded by the pharmaceutical industry and its greedy and conflict-ridden research. And it is slowly being exposed for the incompetence by which it is permeated.

“The pH Miracle for Weight Loss” is an excellent publication that has two central stories: a) the pH Miracle phenomenon and b) a sure-fire method of losing weight.

To order go to: http://www.phmiracleliving.com/books.htm

Even if your only desire is to lose weight and not gain insight into “New Biology” which will change the face of 21st century medicine, this book is still for you. Once a person understands the diet and nutrition concept and is willing to give it a try, "The pH Miracle for Weight Loss" it is a very easy diet to follow (assuming you have your own kitchen) and virtually anyone can lose weight regardless of individual medical history, health, or constitutional anomalies.

This writer also posted a much more comprehensive review at Amazon.com under the book title of "The pH Miracle" which was published in 2002 and continues to sell very well and is now being translated throughout the world. Some people have found it more helpful to read that book first, although I think both are very valuable regardless of the order in which they are read.

As a psychologist with nearly 40 years of professional experience, I have spent literally thousands of hours talking with executives, managers, doctors, scientists, educators and leaders of all persuasions. I have been in the very fortunate and unique position of being able to step back and view the big picture more and more clearly.

If you have been paying even sporadic attention to the world of health, nutrition, and the conflict-of-interest-ridden field of "medicine," you must by now be aware that health care" or "health management" has for a long period been more accurately described as "sickness management." Medicine for tens of millions of Americans nowadays means that maybe you don’t die—but you don’t get better either.

To understand the backdrop of “The pH Miracle for Weight Loss,” it is important to have an understanding of that which has occurred over the last 50 years in “health care” in America. In the hopes that some brief history and discussion will help you appreciate the value of the Young’s life work, I will spell out some of the unhappy details for you.

1. The beloved family doctor who traveled to your home with his black bag totally disappeared many decades ago. Bedside medicine, education, counseling, and guidance has long given way to tests and machines which would usher in an explosion of diagnostic labels and related drug prescriptions. The Young’s books are the embodiment of education and guidance in the finest medical tradition.

2. It is now difficult to locate a good "family physician" as doctors now sub-specialize in many dozens of new and expensive micro-systems of so-called medicine. For the most part, doctors tend to know more and more about less and less.

3. Formerly among the most revered of professionals, America has lost much respect for doctors and lawyers who are now making a career on the coattails of the half trillion dollar pharmaceutical industry. Today, pharmaceutical companies pretend to provide technical assistance instead placing doctors on their sales team. In any number of ways, Big Pharma “pays” the doctors to sell their poorly researched, misunderstood and over-hyped drugs. Many doctors learn too late that Big Pharma has led them and patients into various forms of medical problems, potential litigation, and deteriorating doctor-patient relationships. Faulty “medicines” aimed at simple symptoms that are mislabeled as diseases eventually raise malpractice insurance rates so high that many doctors now leave their chosen medical fields.

Meanwhile, lawyers team up with patients and sue both the doctors and pharmaceutical giants. Pharmacy companies escrow billions of dollars to pay anticipated claims. And you pay for all of it as four of the top 10 companies selling public stock in America are giant pharmaceutical corporations. Some pills that ultimately cost pennies to make are marked up more than 10,000 times. Concurrently, the American public gets sicker and fatter—and in most cases—poorer. By contrast, an avocado is marked up one or two times its original cost.

Once out of medical school, doctors are frequently trained by pharmaceutical sales personnel who frequent their offices. Doctors are also invited to fancy dinners and vacation-like junkets to be wined and dined by pharmaceutical companies whose intentions are to sell the doctor on using their drug products. They also spend $100 billion a year on advertising to train the public to ask doctors for specific medicines. The public is looking for the same quick fix that they see on the phony television ads in which a paid actor pretends to be a patient who popped a pill and got better fast. No wonder the pharmacy ad always says, "Ask your doctor if Poizon is right for you." Notice they don’t say “good” for you.

4. Symptoms are now diseases. Obesity is now a major disease, not a series of bad and learned habits by those who were not taught the importance of good nutrition and the insights necessary to control their God-given “body-sense-mind” equipment.

Who in the world could dream up a “disease” like Restless Leg Syndrome? What use to be shyness is now Social Anxiety Disorder. Heartburn is now Acid Reflux Disorder. Many children suffering from disgraceful, sugar-filled nutritional diets are now labeled with "Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder." Alcoholics have a "disease." And they all have pills to take to make the problem “go away.” Guess again!

If a man has trouble achieving or maintaining an erection, is that really a disease? It must be, because now we see drug ads for men (and even women) promising to help them become sexually aroused. ("Excuse me Miss, I don't really love you, and I need to visit my medicine cabinet for just a moment.")

5. The main thing your health insurance company really “insures” is their substantial profit. In the crassest of all relationships, insurance companies make huge amounts of money by denying coverage to you or by paying you as little as possible when you are ill. Doctors often do not have the final say on what patients need. For all practical purposes, they simply make recommendations to the insurance company. The person deciding what treatment you will be accorded may or may not have finished college or may have been on the job for mere months. Few businesses in America have a greater conflict of interest than health insurance companies because the less care they provide for you, the more profit they make.

6. How high can you construct a building with a faulty foundation? When a building is started wrong, how many stories can you pile onto a structure with a weak foundation?

Once the building is big enough and is making a lot of money for the owner, they aren't about to tear it down and start over. At best, they might try and shore it up here and there or just "pray" that nothing bad happens. They may also spend a lot of money on insurance! My metaphor, of course, is the medical industry built on a faulty foundation.

Part of the confusion and misunderstanding of the pH Miracle series of books is that most people do not really seem to understand that if Dr. Young is correct—and there is certainly impressive evidence that says he is—then the entire medical industry, a multi-trillion dollar annual enterprise, is built on a weak and incorrect foundation.

Consider this. What if Louis Pasteur’s theory was wrong all along? That’s exactly what the pH Miracle for Weight Loss explains to the reader.

What if Pasteur's germ theory is even partly wrong? We have built a trillion dollar annual building on a weak foundation. Do germs really harm us? Sometimes yes, and sometimes no. What if germs only harm some people and not others? If people from Iowa can’t get the flu, should they be vaccinated anyway?

What if outside germs and toxins can not harm us if our body is properly pH balanced and ready for the fight? What if Dr. Robert and Shelley Young are correct and all of your unwanted weight is NOT simply a matter of eating excess calories or too much food?

What if the real problem is simply eating too much ACIDIC food and not enough ALKALINE food? What if your fat cells are nature's way of keeping deadly acid food away from your cells, tissues, organs—and most importantly—your blood?

7. Have you heard this quotation? "Any important truth is first resisted, second, it is ridiculed, and third, it is considered self-evident." I wish I had said that.

Dr. Robert O. Young's acid-alkaline theory is in the first stage—it’s, “resisted” by scientists who do not want to even consider it. I thought scientists were supposed to be open-minded!

The evidence that Dr. Young is correct is overwhelming—but no one in the allopathic pharmacy-controlled medical field will bother to look seriously at the evidence. Since most research in America is controlled by money and self-interest, then who will shoot themselves in the foot to do the research to prove that Dr. Young is right?

(Incidentally, there have been others over the past century from whom Dr. Young has learned, but they had even less success in fighting “established medical science.”)

Back to tall buildings. With a building already 200 stories tall, nobody is about to tear it down and start over. Yet that is what will have to happen. One day soon, if a doctor mends bones and patches car accident victims, his business will be less affected. But if the Doc makes a living peddling drugs for Big Pharma—oncologists for instance—then they will be out of work unless they retread.

Soon the entire world will come to understand that all drugs are poisonous because they are acidic. Any perceived benefit is more apparent than real. Hippocrates said "Let your food be your medicine, and your medicine be your food." He is also credited with saying, “First, do no harm.” I guess he didn’t anticipate the brilliance of using a little bit of poison to cure a problem.

When "The pH Miracle for Weight Loss" explains that you must give up your acidic lifestyle and convert to an alkaline way of living—when that concept begins to take hold in society—we enter the second stage. If “resistance” is the first stage, then “ridicule and attack” will be the next. It would not surprise me if Dr. Young, like many trail-blazers in the medical field, will one day have to relocate to another country in order to avoid the power and the retribution of those in charge of the economic infrastructure of our nation.

How big an infrastructure? The STATUS QUO medical industry is way over a trillion dollars a year. The cancer business alone is several hundred billion a year. Fortunately, many doctors will be replaced over the next 50 years by organic farmers growing alkaline foods with no pesticides, herbicides, fungicides or other poisonous toxins added to the soil, plants and foods.

8. “The pH Miracle for Weight Loss” operates from the scientifically measurable premise that about 90% of the food in your grocery store—even some health food stores—is not very good for you. Some is actually very bad for you. Let's take, for instance, the can of vegetarian chili sitting beside me—a well-known "Organic Chili, Medium, with vegetables." It's vegan since it has no animal products or bi-products. It labels all ingredients as organic: red beans, filtered water, onions, bell peppers, potatoes, carrots, corn, rice flour, high oleic safflower or sunflower oil, jalapeno peppers, spices garlic sea salt.

So what could be wrong with that? Plenty. Canned food is heated in the canning process killing all the healthy electrons and diminishing much of the nutritional value. Corn is a lousy vegetable and breeds internal fungus. Potatoes are healthy only if they are really fresh because they deteriorate rapidly. Ask yourself if the vegetables you are eating are fresh or stored—meaning 6 months old or last year's crop which is nutritionally diminished from 50 to 90 percent.

Did the organic vegetables come from a local farm? Not likely. America has far less than a million acres of USDA certified organic farmland. Now that Wal-Mart and their kind are pretending to be interested in your health, most of the available organic food will be from another country. Do you suppose they put your organic carrots and red beans on a jet from Australia to your kitchen? Hardly.

Here’s how it works. Your veggies are picked in outer Mongolia and sit in a truck for a day or two. Then it goes from the truck to a warehouse to another truck and then to the shipping port. It may be stored there for several days or more. Then the boat steams off with your vegetables in the hold. This is not a speed boat. Then another port with a day or two before being loaded into another truck ride to storage or cannery where it has the healthy electrons removed. Next the cans are taken to storage, then trucked to a distributor warehouse. Then the distributor trucks it to the grocery chain and finally to the storage room of your grocery store. Eventually, it gets to the store shelf, then to your grocery cart, and then it sits in your family cupboard another day or week or month. Elapsed time: 60 to 120, minimum.

No wonder we put all those poisonous and acidic preservatives in our food! Finally the food makes it into your deteriorating body—adding more acid to a body already brimming with acid—a body already creating acid by the sheer nature of its bodily function. As Dr. Young explains, the body is alkaline by design, but acidic by function. So, if your heart is beating, if you are breathing, and if you walk from the bedroom to the kitchen, you don’t need more acid! Your body creates acid every second of your “functioning” lifetime. You certainly don’t need more acid food and medicines!

9. As a psychologist, I worked a lot with weight problems and other appetitive disorders. I learned more than 30 years ago that people are not very interested in PREVENTION. We don’t prevent things—we wait and try to FIX them. Prevention requires an open mind, education, human insight, maturity, and the ability to discipline yourself today for the fruits of your labor many tomorrows down the road. Like I said, people are not very interested in Prevention. Otherwise we wouldn't have laws for seat belts, smoking, helmets, and speeding.

"The pH Miracle for Weight Loss" is not just a weight loss program. It is a prevention program. Once you understand how to eat and drink correctly according to the “New Biology” of Dr. Young, you will not only drop your weight, everything else that is wrong with you will begin to improve, and you will also be PREVENTING most future health-related problems.

To order go to: http://www.phmiracleliving.com/books.htm

Somebody once suggested to me that Dr. Young’s book could be called "The pH Miracle for...anything unhealthy for you." It could be called the pH Miracle for cancer, arthritis, migraine headaches, acne, toe and finger nail fungus, skin disorders, heart problems, stroke prevention--and so on.

Perhaps, the main reason to learn more about Dr. Young’s “New Biology” is not just about losing weight for yourself. Everyone you love is vulnerable to the faulty food-medical-pharmaceutical industrial complex. Everyone you love can live many more healthy and happy years than the mortality charts predict. But YOU may be the one who has to start the ball rolling. But, at least there is one thing of which you can be confident.

Now you know where to start.

The Cause and Cure for Erectile Dysfunction and Improved Sex Life!

Around the age of 40, a man's reproductive organs begin to be affected by dietary and metabolic acids and become less active.

This results in a decrease of the acidic hormone testosterone from glandular malfunction (which is a good thing because it reduces your risk for prostate cancer) caued by a build up of dietary and metabolic acids from emotional and physical stress, a diet high in protein and sugar, and a lack of physical activity results in a low sex drive, impotence, erectile dysfunction, low sperm counts, frequent urination and other frequent side effects such a weight gain around the abdomen, depression and mood swings (which is a bad thing).

During a man's alkaline decline or aging, I call "men - o - pause", testosterone, an acidic waste product of reproductive activity drops off dramatically. This does not mean you need more of this acidic hormone called testosterone - what you need is less dietary and metabolic acids and improved elimination of these acids through defecation, urination, perspiration and respiration.

A deficiency in whole body alkalinity and especially alkalizing mineral salts, including sodium chloride, magnesium chloride, sodium bicarbonate and potassium bicarbonate, can result in muscle weakness, muscle loss, muscle soreness, weight gain, frequent urination, prostatitis, prostate cancer, erectile dysfunction, low sperm counts, loss of skin elasticity (wrinkles), elevated cholesterol levels, high blood pressure, sclerotic plaque, mood swings, depression and even hot flashes or "men - o - pause".

This is why I recommend Alkaline Replacement Therapy (ART) to correct the over-acidic body fluid condition and warn men of the toxic acidic affects from Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) and its many symptomologies, including prostate cancer.  Yes! research now states that testosterone may cause prostate.

It is known that alkalinity increases the bones' ability to absorb calcium, reducing the risk of weak bones and osteoporosis and the muscles to absorb magnesium, reducing the risk of muscle loss.

Alkalizing mineral salts, such as sodium, magnesium, potassium and calcium also lower a man's risk for heart disease and stroke, which is certainly no small matter, considering that heart disease is the leading kilter of men over age 45.

Many studies show that testosterone supplemention (TRT) can increase the risk of prostate cancer.

Why?

Because testosterone is an acidic toxic waste product of reproductive gland function.

Supplementing an acidic hormone like testosterone (TRT) would be like pumping carbon monoxide into your gas tank. Just as carbon monoxide is an acidic waste product of energy production so testosterone is an acidic waste product of a man's reproduction function and it is toxic to the blood, tissues and organs of the body.

This is making some doctors more conservative about dispensing prescriptions for hormone replacement therapy, particularly to men and/or women who have a family history of reproductive - system cancer.

Many of these high-risk men are successfully using alkaizing mineral salts, herbs, ant-acid nutrients, aminos, and seed oils instead of testosterone to treat their "men - o - pausal" symptoms.

Why?

Because alkaizing minerals, herbs, aminos, anti-acid or antioxidant nutrients and seed oils are alkalzing buffers of the this acidic hormone, called testosterone.

Even men who are not at high risk for reproductive-system cancers or experiencing erectile dysfunction find that alkalizing herbs, mineral salts, aminos, ant-acid or antioxidant nutrients and seed oils offer a positive solution to their "men -o - pausal" woes.

And for many men who do take the acid testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), the herbs, alkaline mineral salts, aminos, ant-acid or anti-oxidant nutrients and seed oils will allow them to take a lower dose of testosterone or even get off of these toxic acidic hormonal disease causing waste products!

The Fabulous Phyto-Nutrients

Many plant phyto-nutrients are alkaline substances or antioxidants in plants that buffer and neutralize the human testosterone acid and protects the male reproductive organs.

In fact, phyto-nutrients have been present in the human diet for thousands of years and is an alkaline source to buffer dietary and metabolic acids, including testosterone or estrogen, especially in midlife and beyond.

Photo-nutrient activity is also known to be found in pomegranate seed oil (CLA).
Recently, researchers have discovered that the pomegranate seed oil (CLA) is one of the richest sources of anti-hormonal compounds.

Animal-based  anti-hormonal compounds are often used to treat symptoms of "men - o - pause" or menopause, but many men and/or women are reluctant to use these substances.

The pomegranate seed oil buffers the acidic affects of testosterones and estrogens and reduces the negative health symptoms associated with "men - o - pause" or menopause for women.

Mineral Salts in the Prevention of Erectile Dysfunction

I have  found in my own research that alkaline buffers from mineral salts and seed oils can be very helpful in maintaining the alkaline design of a man's body, especially supporting a healthy and active reproductive system.  This is also true for women.

I have recommended an increase in alkaline mineral salts of sodium chloride, sodium bicarbonate, potassium bicarbonate, magnesium chloride and calcium chloride to maintain the alkaline design of a man's body, especially the reproductive system.  These salts help to buffer excess metabolic and dietary acids that would other-wise breakdown the organs and glands that sustain life.

I also recommends 12 to 16 grams of pomegranate seed oil (CLA) per day to help support the male reproductive system and prevent the symptoms associated with male reproductive acidic stress.

The Amino L-arginine in the Prevention and Treatment of Erectile Dysfunction

Finally, I recommend the amino L-arginine which has been shown to help improve blood and lymph circulation prevent and reversing hypertension, coronary heart dis-ease, hyper-cholesterolemia, and erectile dysfunction through the release of nitric oxide.

Does nitric oxide in L-arginine work for Impotence or Erectile Dysfunction?

My answer is absolutely YES! New research from my own research and several other Universities are reporting positive benefits of increased nitric oxide production, improved circulation to the extremities having positive effects for ED in as short of time as 3 weeks.

Here is what I can share with you:

1. Viagra produces nitric oxide in the male genitalia and dramatically increases blood flow allowing for erections for a specific amount of time. Bottom-line many erectile dysfunction medications are acidic and therefore come with a long list of negative health effects.
2. Many published studies have shown that consuming 5,000mg of L-arginine, triggers cell production of nitric oxide in all areas of the body including the reproductive system improving circulation to the male or female genitalia.
3. Producing nitric oxide through the use of L-arginine has been found to relax and enlarge blood vessels, which allows for greater blood flow to the lower extremeties. This is similar to a water hose that is no longer kinked allowing water to flow more freely. It works the same way with the blood being circulated throughout the body. When blood is needed in a special area, it flows more freely, allowing for a better sex life.
4. Several of my male clients who are using my pH Miracle L-arginine Max for cardiovascular health are also using it for the purpose of sexual health. They have reported no longer needing to use Viagra.
5. In 1998 three American scientists received the Nobel Prize in medicine for discovering the role of nitric oxide and its health benefits for the cardiovascular and reproductive systems.
6. Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is a condition in which breathing stops up to 400 times for 10 to 30 seconds during sleep each night. Researchers at the University of Louisville believe the episodes of oxygen deprivation may trigger ED.  Researchers exposed male mice to a lack of oxygen--chronic intermittent hypoxia or CIH--during sleep. Within a week they showed 55 percent less sexual activity and after a month, the length of time between attempts at mating increased 60 times. When given Cialis, an erectile dysfunction drug, the mice's sexual activity improved. Researchers concluded that testosterone levels weren't affected by oxygen deprivation, so something else must have caused the downswing in sexual activity. They found that the mice who were subjected to sleep apnea had lower levels of an enzyme needed to make nitric oxide and speculated that nitric oxide was needed for blood flow essential to erections.  "Even relatively short periods of CIH...are associated with significant effects on sexual activity and erectile function," Dr. David Gozal, professor of pediatrics at the University of Louisville, wrote in the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine.  Although researchers didn't recommend men with sleep apnea to use ED drugs, they said that using CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) machines that treat sleep apnea can also help with erectile dysfunction.

In Conclusion 

From my own research and the research of others an acidic lifestyle and diet is the primary cause of erectile dysfunction (ED). Metabolic and dietary acids cause the blood to thicken, leading to poor circulation, energy loss and then erectile dysfunction (ED). The key to a healthy and lasting sex life free from erectile dysfunction (ED) and the symptoms of "men - o - pause", regardless of age, is reducing metabolic and dietary acids with a pH Miracle alkaline lifestyle and diet. 

It is that simple!

stuffed with grief from far away.

In a house of loss, parents hug

one old teddy bear—

the fur loved off its face.
