I'm tired of people complaining. Of people who take it upon themselves to tell others how bad life is and that you have to take it.
I'm tired of the Office gossip and politics that try to dictate that you have to smile at someone when they walk by, then throw daggers at them as soon as they pass.
I'm tired of venting sessions of people at work and in groups because its supposed to feel good to "get it all out".
I'm tired of people who say they're good, but their actions are bad.
I'm tired of companies who say employees are their number one priority, but wont think twice about slashing them to increase profit margin.
I'm tired of those people who complain and say they have no choice but to stay in the bad situation.
I'm tired because people and companies do have a choice.
You choose whether or not to talk about someone behind their back, which makes the workplace terrible.
You choose to work at a company, regardless of your personal situation, you can also choose to work elsewhere.
You choose to complain about something that you can't control, making it a waste of breath and energy, not to mention everyone else's time.
You choose to complain about something you can control, but choose not to do anything about it because its the easy way out.
You choose not tell the person that you love, that you love them because you assume they know.
You assume your parents know that you appreciate them raising you and helped get you where you are today.
You assume that "insert occupation here" doesn't deserve whatever raise they are fighting for, because its not you getting the money.
You assume that someone will make your life better, give you a helping hand or its someone else's responsibility.
You assume someone else will make the next pot of coffee, when you took the last cup.
You assume the person that cut you off is a jerk, but when you do it you were justified.
You assume the person that just let you in their traffic lane knows that you appreciate it, or it was their duty too.
You ask "How are you" but don't really want a care for a response other than "fine".
I'm TIRED of people who CHOOSE to ASSUME that life has to be negative.
This is for all the people in this world who want to enjoy their lives, that wont stand up and say it: STOP IT!
Some of us want to enjoy this thing we call life.
Work Your Life people, no one else will.
Sincerely,
Scott Stratten

It's Time for an Over Haul!
It's Liver Detox Time
Four times a year the body naturally cycles into detoxing. This phenomenon fires up a week or so before each solstice and each equinox. But you don't have to wait until that particular time of year to help your body detox. You can make changes right now that will help your body to heal itself.
Liver pain is an indicator that you are toxic. Do you feel pain just below your right nipple at your rib cage? Do you feel it? "I feel it!" shrieks the holy roller leaping from his seat in the fifth row.
How do you prepare your body for this voluntary toxic waste removal?
(Read this out loud --> ) "I can change what goes into my mouth - if I have to - I guess."
Some hints: Eat wisely. What does that mean? Eat less than you require. Eat fresh raw fruits and vegis. Enjoy cultured foods.
Don't let late night commercials choose what goes into your mouth. You choose what you will incorporate into your life style. Don't be brain washed by television. (Shut it off.)
Be open to input (considering wisely the source). If your sources of health and nutrition are obese doctors or nurses who have been victims of gallbladder removal and they are the ones telling you that you shouldn't do so many detox sessions - there is a perfect example of advice to ignore!
Consider your sources. Choose wisely. Consider what HAS worked for others. Disregaurd the voices that say. "I don't know if that would be good..." That's right- They don't know. Should you waste your time considering what an unhealthy person thinks about you trying to get yourself healthier? GET REAL! This is your life, girl! LIVE IT!
The fabulous part about being alive is that you can change. My son, the jedi, has this saying, "I am a man. But I can change - if i have to - I guess. I will not be whooped by a girl in her ability to change - so much - so frequently. That girl is my mother."
You CAN change your habits.
Repeat the life giving phrase out loud, "I can change what goes into my mouth - if I have to- I guess."
This is an exercise of your will. Exercise your right to change the way you do things. You can change your taste buds. You can 'will' them into submission. You are strong willed. Your mother will verify that in a heart beat.
Are you new on this path to better health? If you haven't already, start by changing your diet.
The food you eat- Be responsible:
Are you eating healthy like? Ah, we all think we eat well. The way you have eaten all your life has brought you to where you are today. It's all mom's fault! Not really.
The great thing is that you have total control over what you put into your mouth.
Repeat it with my boy now, "I can change what goes in my mouth - if I have to- I guess." If a man can say, you can too, girl!
FABULOUS! Admission is the first step towards healing. It is your simplest step towards positive change in your health future. Come on, girl - You are not going to let something as prideful an an ego get in the way of your gaining better health, are you?
Anything that comes in bags, boxes, cans or bottles you no longer put into your mouth by you. Those non foods do not go into your temple. They are evil. They rob you of your health. Those Evil Bunnies.
Instead of reaching for a soda pop, get Kombucha. Kombucha will help your liver. Soda pop is evil. Never heard of Kombucha? Well let me help you get excited about something good for you. Kids love the taste of Kombucha!
Change your diet to include fresh organic fruits and vegis. Any meats should be cooked at very low temperatures and eaten as close to rare as you can enjoy. Do the diet change before attempting any liver cleansing program.
Incorporate healthy fats into your diet NOW. Healthy fats do their best work for you during the fall/winter season. As spring/summer hits us you will need less fat and more fresh raw fruit.
Remember, You don't eat anything that is boxed or bagged. From this day forward You now eat only live foods. Of course this has to do with your liver!
Your environment- Just say NO to a toxic work place:
The toxic exposure your body has endured is partly why your liver is complaining. It's all that make up you put on every day, girl! Quit that filthy addictive habit and you will make the world a better place.
Make up is toxic to your liver. You know when your make up kinda just disappears from your face and you know you haven't touched your face- where did it go? Your body ate it up. Your liver has to process that make up.
What if you don't wear makeup? Does anyone else around you wear deodorant or anti-perspirant? Your body has to process the stuff they put on their body.
What kind of toxic exposure do you subject your body to on a daily basis? I bet you don't know how bad it really is. What you don't know can hurt you. Check out Hulda Regehr Clark's book -The Cure for all Diseases.
Hulda Clark's book is enlightenment! There are so many things she reveals to be toxic. It will make you angry.
For example, she reveals that there is mercury in common items you use daily. Did you know that mercury is used to sterilize cotton swabs? Tell me, who of you does not use these in your ears? Have you never put mineral oils on your baby?
That one right there ticked me off. She reveals that mineral oils causes skin cancer. Before I learned about that, I had done like every mother is admonished to dTV(via tv commercials)- I put mineral oil on my baby's skin. Argh!
Get her book. Get a new kind of education. Learn about the dangers of your unique work environmet. Search for it on Search It! Search It! is the webs newest greatest search engine tool. Once you find what you are looking for you can save your results. A tutorial pops up (be sure to enable pop ups for the use of this tool) that will take you through to super websurfing highs. You'll love it.
This is a fabulous time of year to search out a parasite cleanse program. I wish I had one to sell you. But I don't. This anti-parasite program is the one I am seriously considering. As soon as I have the moolah in my hands I'm getting my family on this program. If you choose this one be certain to do the full Colonix Pack Advanced Internal Cleansing Program. I have done many of these types of programs. They work. They have the right ingredients at appropriate levels.
And the results? Go check out their testimonials! Follow your choice of parasite removal program to completion. Jump start your better liver health.
Practice your new diet [long term]. Do the parasite removal [short term].
Here's one last thing for that liver pain [instant- quick]:
It would benefit you tremendously to purchase a far infra red heat unit. I use the "Super Radiant Dome YS-50" This unit is made in Japan. I wish I could sell you one but I can't. I have searched for suppliers and the price range is $399- $899.99 The heat unit helps the body to detox heavy metals gently and will definitely help you to feel better.
Seek out the Super Radiant Dome YS-50.
The Super Radiant dome gets toxins out real quick like- and painlessly. It's nice and toasty under the unit. Get one. Plug it in. Turn it on. Get under it. Feel better.
When you want to escape the rat race, come see us on Oregon's South Coast. We can set you up with a detox session under a Super Radiant Dome YS-50. The price varies by who provides this service. It's kinda like getting cracked by a chiropractor - instant relief.
Don't expect just one round of one program to do it for you permanently. You will notice the level of pain diminish after incorporating changes in your life style.
Take heart, you're not the only one with recurrent liver pain.

Crack- Just DO IT!
I just had my first 'crack' by a D.C. Monday morning. [read- chiropractor]
Woah! Pain! [for the crack]
Then all the tension and pain I had been experiencing was gone! wooHOO!
As I implemented the doctor's recommendations I began to feel better. I felt more release.
It turns out I had an infection in my neck and shoulders from my (recent) oral surgery.
I had lost my voice due to swelling in the larynx. I didn't even *think* to take a look at myself in the mirror. I just didn't want to get up. Or talk. Or eat.
I have this thing about when I'm stressed...(I go back to bed or don't botther to get up in the first place) I'm sure I waste a lot of time doing this. It has been a defective defensive coping mechanism.
Do the *CRACK* thing. Get out of bed, GIRL!

The Curse of Choice
- By Sean D'Souza
Do you want to confuse the heck out of your dog?
Do a little test.
Place two bones in front of your dog. And watch what the dog does.
He'll sniff one bone. Then the other. Then go back to the first. And back to the second. Back, forth, back, forth and back again. Oooh this mutt looks like he's watching the finals of the US Open.
You've just witnessed the curse of choice. And not surprisingly, human beings are not a whole lot different from dogs.
Curious? I bet you are. Because the concept of choice can dramatically increase or decrease your sales? What are you doing wrong? And how can you fix it?
Think of an ice-cream flavour
Done? Good!
Now do you realise what your brain just did? Your brain went through dozens of choices in one fraction of a second. It whipped its way through at least a dozen possible flavours. In a blinding flash it went through what is known as the 'elimination factor.'
Contrary to what you believe, the brain doesn't think by choosing what it wants.
No it doesn't, the brain 'eliminates' what it 'doesn't want'
Think about it for a second. When you're in the ice-cream store looking at all of those choices, you seem more confused than ever. You think you want choice, but when faced with one hundred squillion flavours, your brain goes a little waka-waka.
You become 'the dog' all over again.
You struggle to choose and finally when you do choose, you actually do it through a system of eliminating what you don't want.
Ergo: More elimination means more brain work
It's logical isn't it? If your brain goes through elimination to get to a single choice, then the more things it has to eliminate, the more difficult it becomes to choose one thing.
Often the brain just gives up. Yes, goodbye, sayanora and hasta la vista, baby! And customers faced with innumerable choices head rapidly for the 'goodbye, see ya later, I need to think about it' door.
It's ironic isn't it?
We want choice, but we don't want the nuisance of having to choose. Aaaaaaaargh, isn't this irony driving you bananas?
Now, now...don't get so antsy. No one is suggesting you do a Henry Ford. Henry, the inventor of the Model T Ford, was probably discredited with a quotation attributed to him that read: "People can have the Model T in any colour--so long as it's black."
The truth is that the Model T was available in green, red, blue and grey. In fact, right at the start black wasn't even available as an option. The switch to all- black cars was probably a move to reduce the time lost waiting for the various paints to dry. In fact, in 1926, colours other than black were once again offered in an
attempt to rejuvenate sales.
So choice is good thing then...
Absolutely! Your customers hate to have a gun held to their head. They want choice, but not so much choice that they're totally confused.
But now I can see it in your face, you're the one that's totally confused. You don't want to alienate your customer and neither do you want to confuse them.
So how do you use the power of command with choice?
The only way I can explain this is to give you a couple of real-life situations as played out sequentially on a website. Of course you can use this concept offline as well, but since your already online...ahem...let's just get cozy online, shall we?
Let's run through a sequential audit on a website.
Step 1: Visitor arrives at your website
Imagine a prospective client comes to your website. They've got
half a dozen links to choose from. What should they do? There are at least six to seven links to choose from. Where do they go first? Can you give the client a choice and help the client make a speedy decision? On the Psychotactics.com website we actually tell you where to go next by putting a link in the text telling the client to 'start their journey here.'
Step 2: Some Window Shopping
Let's assume the client then heads to your products page. Do they have twenty-five products to choose from? Or do they have three? And do you have a command or suggestion in place? For example, a simple graphic that says 'Most Downloaded Product', sets a chain of thoughts in a client's brain. They think, oooh, if it's the most downloaded or most popular, it must be good. And that causes the client to choose the most popular one over the rest. Now hang on a second. I'm not asking you to be a nasty little crook. I'm not asking you to lie and try and manipulate your clients. All this command is doing, is simply getting the client to not get confused with choice.
Step 3: Ok, where's that credit card?
Your client scrolls right down to the payment button. And is faced
with several different options to pay. All good...but here's what you need to do. Make sure they get to choose between just one or two options. The other systems of payment can be clubbed under option 3. So Option No.1 could be credit card online. Option No.2 could be online cheque. Option No.3 could be Other Options. Under Other Options you could list phone call ins, fax, postal order etc.
Step 4: We're on the buying page
And let's say you're up selling a product. Again, do you do the Amazon.com bit and give me twenty options or just one more add on product?
Step 5: The client gets the product delivered
Where do they start? On book 3 or book 4? One client wrote in and asked me just that a few days ago. We sell the Brain Audit off our website and she was confused which of the four books were the starting point. Ah... choice again causes chaos. (We're fixing this problem as we speak :)
Audit your way through your marketing
Take a look at either your web process or your sales/marketing process. Are you giving your clients too much to choose from? I know, I know. I cringe too. There are so many things to offer, yet choice only causes increased confusion. Eventually it boils down to sacrifice. 'Yes, No, Maybe' is hard enough without causing a client to go through 'yes, no, maybes' across multiple choice products and services.
If you want your client to act, make sure you make the process nice and uncomplicated.
Oh, there's ONE more thing. It's called WHY
As the Merovingian, says in the movie, 'Matrix Reloaded, "Choice is an illusion, created between those with power, and those without... Our only hope, our only peace is to understand it, to understand the 'why.' 'Why' (Read the 'Power of Why') is what separates us from them, you from me. 'Why' is the only real social power, without it you are powerless.
Less.
Less is indeed...more.

Think about it for a second. When you're in the ice-cream store looking at all of those choices, you seem more confused than ever. You think you want choice, but when faced with one hundred squillion flavours, your brain goes a little waka-waka.
You become 'the dog' all over again.
You struggle to choose and finally when you do choose, you actually do it through a system of eliminating what you don't want.
Ergo: More elimination means more brain work
It's logical isn't it? If your brain goes through elimination to get to a single choice, then the more things it has to eliminate, the more difficult it becomes to choose one thing.
Often the brain just gives up. Yes, goodbye, sayanora and hasta la vista, baby! And customers faced with innumerable choices head rapidly for the 'goodbye, see ya later, I need to think about it' door.
It's ironic isn't it?
We want choice, but we don't want the nuisance of having to choose. Aaaaaaaargh, isn't this irony driving you bananas?
Now, now...don't get so antsy. No one is suggesting you do a Henry Ford. Henry, the inventor of the Model T Ford, was probably discredited with a quotation attributed to him that read: "People can have the Model T in any colour--so long as it's black."
The truth is that the Model T was available in green, red, blue and grey. In fact, right at the start black wasn't even available as an option. The switch to all- black cars was probably a move to reduce the time lost waiting for the various paints to dry. In fact, in 1926, colours other than black were once again offered in an
attempt to rejuvenate sales.
So choice is good thing then...
Absolutely! Your customers hate to have a gun held to their head. They want choice, but not so much choice that they're totally confused.
But now I can see it in your face, you're the one that's totally confused. You don't want to alienate your customer and neither do you want to confuse them.
So how do you use the power of command with choice?
The only way I can explain this is to give you a couple of real-life situations as played out sequentially on a website. Of course you can use this concept offline as well, but since your already online...ahem...let's just get cozy online, shall we?
Let's run through a sequential audit on a website.
Step 1: Visitor arrives at your website
Imagine a prospective client comes to your website. They've got
half a dozen links to choose from. What should they do? There are at least six to seven links to choose from. Where do they go first? Can you give the client a choice and help the client make a speedy decision? On the Psychotactics.com website we actually tell you where to go next by putting a link in the text telling the client to 'start their journey here.'
Step 2: Some Window Shopping
Let's assume the client then heads to your products page. Do they have twenty-five products to choose from? Or do they have three? And do you have a command or suggestion in place? For example, a simple graphic that says 'Most Downloaded Product', sets a chain of thoughts in a client's brain. They think, oooh, if it's the most downloaded or most popular, it must be good. And that causes the client to choose the most popular one over the rest. Now hang on a second. I'm not asking you to be a nasty little crook. I'm not asking you to lie and try and manipulate your clients. All this command is doing, is simply getting the client to not get confused with choice.
Step 3: Ok, where's that credit card?
Your client scrolls right down to the payment button. And is faced
with several different options to pay. All good...but here's what you need to do. Make sure they get to choose between just one or two options. The other systems of payment can be clubbed under option 3. So Option No.1 could be credit card online. Option No.2 could be online cheque. Option No.3 could be Other Options. Under Other Options you could list phone call ins, fax, postal order etc.
Step 4: We're on the buying page
And let's say you're up selling a product. Again, do you do the Amazon.com bit and give me twenty options or just one more add on product?
Step 5: The client gets the product delivered
Where do they start? On book 3 or book 4? One client wrote in and asked me just that a few days ago. We sell the Brain Audit off our website and she was confused which of the four books were the starting point. Ah... choice again causes chaos. (We're fixing this problem as we speak :)
Audit your way through your marketing
Take a look at either your web process or your sales/marketing process. Are you giving your clients too much to choose from? I know, I know. I cringe too. There are so many things to offer, yet choice only causes increased confusion. Eventually it boils down to sacrifice. 'Yes, No, Maybe' is hard enough without causing a client to go through 'yes, no, maybes' across multiple choice products and services.
If you want your client to act, make sure you make the process nice and uncomplicated.
Oh, there's ONE more thing. It's called WHY
As the Merovingian, says in the movie, 'Matrix Reloaded, "Choice is an illusion, created between those with power, and those without... Our only hope, our only peace is to understand it, to understand the 'why.' 'Why' (Read the 'Power of Why') is what separates us from them, you from me. 'Why' is the only real social power, without it you are powerless.
Less.
Less is indeed...more.

I Can't Believe It's Not PEPPER!
Are you allergic to pepper? Do you choke frequently on freshly ground pepper at the dinning table? Do you want a solution to this embarrassing problem?
"I Can't Believe It's Not PEPPER!" provides a real solution to your choking problems.
"I Can't Believe It's Not PEPPER!" can be put into your pepper shaker to give that look of 'I'm normal' 'I can have pepper just like everyone else can' without the embarrassment of choking on your meal in front of all your dining companions.
"I Can't Believe It's Not PEPPER!" looks just like real pepper. Others can use it too and you won't get caught for a long time. No one has figured it out yet in our home experiments.
"I Can't Believe It's Not PEPPER!" is simply kelp granules.
Kelp granules, as you might have figured out, look just like pepper. While they don't taste like pepper nor do they produce the violent choking reaction, they do shake and sprinkle just like real pepper does. End of embarrassment.
Bring "I Can't Believe It's Not PEPPER!" with you when you dine out. Just put a small pepper shaker filled with kelp granules in a zip loc baggie and set it on the table at a sly momment and you're home free! [of the choking]
Try slipping it up to the table by pointing out something behind your dining companions (with the one hand) and placing the "I Can't Believe It's Not PEPPER!" shaker on the table with the other. You might need to remove the 'extra' (real) pepper shaker to another table just to be safe. Just remember to retrieve your 'pepper' shaker before you leave the establishment. ;-)
Order your "I Can't Believe It's Not PEPPER!" kelp granules today!
It's really inexpensive- about $1.40 for 4 ounces. That is cheap! And 4 ounces will last you quite a while.
I didn't mention the taste that kelp granules gives to a dish because we haven't noticed any change in the taste. I am certain the pepper aficianados will pick out that this is not pepper but as for the rest of us... who cares. Kelp is good for your thyroid and supports better health in a whole host of other ways. Kelp granules will soon become something you won't want to be without.

Shoot Me! I am in unreasonable pain.
Pounding head pain in my frontal lobe. Nausea. I have definite and serious pain.
It is way beyond my bedtime. What am I doing up this late?
I am dehydrated. My throat is dry like COTTON- the feeling of candida over growth.
My mouth hurts. My neck is swollen. My throat is sore in every possible way. There is obvious and undeniable infection in my neck and throat.
Good Grief! Complications off Mercury Amalgam removal? You bet!
Could this effect be amplified by something in or lacking in my surroundings?
I think so! For one, I spent way too much time on the computer today. The second bad thing, I failed to put my Q-Link back on after my shower.
That was no doubt it. The combination of me being in and around EMF's without being shielded in my cocoon.
WHAT WAS I THINKING?!
I didn't do this deliberately. Now I can hardly swallow my own spit.

It's My Independence Day! -
time to Detox after Amalgam Removal
I made it through the mercury amalgam removal surgery and the first 24 hours post-op. WooHOO! I'm Alive!
So what about MY part of the amalgam removal? It is my intention to create that environment which heals and promotes longevity. I have to give my body what it needs to rev-up that detox mode.
Here we go. All right now. I actually started this detox before the amalgam removal. This is what I did:
I juiced a few 'bunches' of cilantro in a juiced salad the night before and filled a pint sized mason jar to the absolute brim, then capped it and put it in the frige. I took that with me in a cooler to the dental office. I had juiced so much that I had maybe a pint to drink as well that night.
When I was at the dental office I swished this juiced cilantro salad in my mouth just before the doc was to start and then grinned at her with green teeth, coated in cilantro juice. My dentist said it would be optimal to keep it in the mouth during removal. (? eh? Did I hear yah right, girl?) Yup! "Don't rinse. It is good to have that mercury chelator in there." Okee dokee, whatever you say doc!
After each quadrant I 'swished' my mouth with chlorella before swallowing. It was the queerest thing, that Chlorella, each time it would truly bunch up into chunks/clumps at the sight all around the gums and teeth for each quadrant where the mercury amalgam fillings had most recently been removed.
I continue to 'swish' before swallowing Chlorella many times, many, many, times during the day and again at night if I awaken at all for anything. Swish, swish, swish! Then swallow.
Chlorella does the most amazing thing; it will set all the mercury lose in your body and make you pukey and then if you are really smart [and I know you are sharp, Girl!] you take more!
Yup, that's right. A certain level of it in your system frees up the mercury that is bound to your receptor sites and carry it out of your system and set you free.
When Chlorella has liberated these toxins you become nauseated. But keep going, don't stop now! Cuz a bit more Chlorella will send these refugee mercurys out of the territory of your body. Ain't it grand.
Which brings me to this: Your kidneys will be stressed from all this detox protocol. Mercury gets excreted through your urine. Great, yeah, I know. I had to drink coconut after coconut after coconut [young green coconut water] to get my kidneys up to par. I have strong healthy kidneys capable of the task of permitting the mercury to EXIT. Get out of my town, mercury; there ain't room enough for the both of us.
To support my kidneys through this trauma I choose to enjoy loads of dandelion. How? However I may best tolerate it. However I can manage to 'appreciate' the benefits I receive from the leaves and roots of this sacred plant. Juice the leaves for that salad. Boil the root for a tea. Take drops of the tincture in some water. Thank God for the dandelion.
You know how sacred something is to a culture when EVERYONE, and I do mean everyone, has many in their front yard showing it off to the whole neighborhood.
I am the Queen of Dandelions. I am telling you, my yard has the tallest dandelions in the neighborhood. That's right; organically grown and processed dandelion leaves and roots. Fresh. Loaded with nutrients- smany, it might be easier to list what they do NOT have.
How's that for bragging rights? And with all those fresh, organically grown dandelions came green butterflies, chirping crickets and those lovely little lace winged bugs. All because of my tall dandelions.
What else for optimal amalgam detox? This morning I enjoyed my original Chocolate Coconut Milk-Shake for my breakfast. Lunch was another juiced salad. Snack time I had miso soup. Dinner was yummy!
But I don't recall this sec..I'm so full...Oh, yeah! It was a different version of the juiced salad and I juiced another cilantro salad with my homemade salad dressing.
My healthy dressing choice makes the juiced cilantro salad taste delightful. I felt like I hadn't gotten enough fat today so I added an avocado, mashed up for when there was just a bit left of that juiced salad to kinda balance things out. I had forgotten to add coconut fat to my miso soup earlier in the day.
Back to my topic here. What else did I do? What have I eaten that supports optimal mercury detox? Each and every item of food I chose to eat are foods which create that environment which supports the body's ability to heal itself. Naturally! What else is a health girl supposed to do?
I oughta be giving you recipies for creating fabulous, vibrant health, too. Yes? Ok. They are at my website www.gohealthgirl.com While you are there, sign up for my opt-in ezine so you don't miss anything new there. Living healthy can be really simple and tasty, too!

After the Anesthesia wears off...
It feels like physical trauma. My whole body is, (how do I accurately describe this?) ... it feels like someone kicked the sh*t out of me. While it might be helpful to have that removed from my body, it blows feeling like this.
I would consider you merciful if you would provide me useful pointers on what I might do to *feel* better.
My jaw is sore; moving towards painful; I can't chew without pain yet, not that I would even consider trying.
The revision on my lower right has not maintained form. I haven't the inclination to look at the upper.
I have been using a far red heat unit for lymph detox. Epsom Salt Baths. Apple Cider Vinegar bath. Essential Oils. Rest. Drinking water, but not nearly as much as I usually drink; I can't seem to get it down.
Speaking of drinks, I juiced Dandelion Greens today. And I drank them, too.
Chlorella- I don't know how to figure dosage on that one. Chlorella should liberate the mercury at a certain dosage though not bind it. At that point I should feel pukey; I haven't reached that point. High dose should bind more that it can liberate or mobilize. I just need to swallow more of those pills. I wish I had it in the powdered form from BioPure. Their chlorella worked much better than what I have now.
I think I need a more significant mineral source. I am using dulse. That should do it but ... ?
MSN, I can't chew so I am not eating my cultured vegis. I am using Rich 'n Pure MSN lotion though. Sulfur binds mercury.
I haven't taken any Goatien yet. I am thinking that it may provide electrolytes which work in the cell's membrane to create an ionic potential which could allow cellular (blah, blah, shut up! Shut up, girl!) products to be excreted if they wanted to be liberated into my already over loaded lymph -but maybe they don't want to go? What is the mercurys affinity to my body and how do I give it the exit passage? If you know please, do share.
What have I missed? Minerals along with Vitamin C release mercury from the tissues. Maybe that is what I have missed; I haven't made those two as a cocktail. Perhaps?
I juiced a head of garlic Sunday night. That was fun, breathing dragon breath, uh, I mean garlic breath.
What does it REALLY mean to augment something? I was reading, in the same article, that Buffered Vitamin C powder augments the excretion of mercury. But then it goes on to say that Vitamin C decreases unpleasant detox reactions. Can this be true? One and the same? Does both? If this is true, then Perhaps I should take even more of my Thorne Buffered vitamin C powder. *shudder*
I bring the vitamin C cocktail before me. I breath, in and out. I think calmness. I breathe in, [inhales], [holds breath], I breath out. I think I am going to gag.
Try again.
I breathe in; think "Peace, Peace." I breath out. I breath in, I chug. I shudder. I swish the glass with fresh water as an invountarily shudder over-takes my being as I bring the glass up to my lips once more.
What the heck?!~ Why do I have to take this stuff when my fat sisters are chugging Starbucks, and sodas and eating wheat and corn with impunity. IT'S NOT FAIR! Where is MY twinkie, popsicle, pop-culture, white trash life?!?
How come everybody else gets all the fun while I get to philosophize on how best to detox heavy metal from my precious body? (whiner- go to bed, girl)
I think I'm gonna whine about this more- tomorrow. I know that people who are under the influence of anesthesia can be a bit difficult, so, I'm signing off. Good night.

Are You a Bathing Beauty?
Take a cleansing bathe to assist any detox. I did this one to assist the mercury amalgam detox.
An Epsom Salts bathe for Amalgam Detox [or any time you want to feel like crudola- uh, I mean, raise the bar on getting healthier]:
Using the hottest water I could tolerate for this cleansing bath, I poured in the entire 4 pound box of Epsom Salts. Yup. The whole thing. No reason to skimp. I wanna get that crud out of my system. I added a cup of organic Apple Cider Vinegar with the mother [shake it up before you pour it out], and fresh grated ginger- about a thumbs worth.
This Detox Bath Recipe gets the lymph flowing to cleanse the body and take out the trash as it were. It really works well. How you will know is that you will feel like crud. Crud will be coming off your tongue so get a scraper if you haven't already invested in one. Your tonsils will dump crud down your throat, so be prepared to be gagging as the lymph begins to dump. Regardless of how unpleasant it is to have this crud dumping experience it is far better than keeping that crud inside of you.
Enjoy the 30 minute soak. I recommend dripping dry and resting for 8 hours before rinsing so that salts will have time to work further on your system. Go ahead and wash and dry your feet though. A whole lot of crud comes off there.
When you shower (the next day) 8 hours later, you can do another soak but just for the feet to keep the crud exiting. Enjoy 2 or 3 bathes of this sort each week but not more often.
I breathe deeply during that half hour soak. This is how the lymph is pumped through you system. So that means, even while you are sick and in bed you can do something to increase your health- you can breathe deeply!
You go, girl! BREATHE!

I breathe deeply during that half hour soak. This is how the lymph is pumped through you system. So that means, even while you are sick and in bed you can do something to increase your health- you can breathe deeply!
You go, girl! BREATHE!

Mercury Kills Intestinal Flora
Mercury kills the good stuff in your gut. I forgot about that during this detox deal. I awoke this AM profoundly aware that I had a need to recolonize my intestinal track.
How could I know that?
When I began to take responsibility for my own health there were myriad points of awareness that struck me. I take responsibility for my life, my health. I want to gain better health.
Getting my intestinal track into good health with the use of probiotics worked wonders to bring me to a state of better health. But forgetting that mercury kills intestinal flora wasn't so great. Now I must defeat the candida once again.
The battle rages on. The uprising of the overgrowth of the evil shmucks within the empire of Cosmo Jane must be subdued. I call upon the powers of kefir to defeat and bring low the shmuks deep within. There is one who can save me...
Kefir to the rescue. Kefir has amazing healing powers. It's not magic. It's miraculous! Kefir has more probiotics than yoghurt. Many more. Not that yoghurt isn't benefitial, it just doesn't have the capacity to heal that kefir does. Yoghurt is the very weak cousin to kefir. Kefir is the mighty healer.
But kefir doesn't have the two strains of probiotic that yoghurt does.
So here's what I do: when I culture my kefir I add the delinquent probiotic strains into the mix along with a bit of Stevia PLUS so that when it arrives in my gut it has had time a plenty to activate. Fewer supplements to gag down. My kefir is fully in-tact and ready to nourish my gut. From the beginning, at my mouth, all the down to the other end.
Mercury, be gone. Intestinal flora, recolonize. Gut, be healed.
Good morning. Thanks for reading my blahg. Enjoy your breakfast. ;-)

To My Dentist- Here is another deep secret:
Dear Dentist, When I am in your chair and your mouth is right next to my ear, I hear you. Quite well, actually. And while the tools may be very loud, [they are , I'm not kidding anyone here] it's ok if you speak softly. I give you permission: You may speak softly. I can hear you.
When you are carrying on a conversation with your assistant about [God only knows what and I don't care who you are gossiping about but it had NOTHING to do with MY mouth or your dental education] I can't know when the conversation turns to me. I'm trying to not eavesdrop. Besides, my "Hypnotherapy for a Millionaire Mind" CD is looping Track 2 [all 17 minutes of it] so I don't have to be in conscious awareness while you are drilling holes in my head.
Think about this: it would be encouraging and grounding to hear how you learned patient protocols that increase the likelihood of my health being protected by what you are doing and how you are doing this. Really.
For $400.00 an hour you can talk about me and my mouth when I am in your chair. After all, your mouth is a 6 to 8 inches from my ear.
I think this sounds reasonable, wouldn't you agree?
Here is what was going on during my amalgam removal appointment:
You both you and your assistant would speak but I had no way to respond without my handy dandy paper/pad and pencil to write on. When you spoke, most of the time, until clued in that you were, indeed, talking to me, it sounded like [imagine PEANUTS by Charles Schultz] "wa wa wa awah " in a tin can kinda sound. Got it? That's what it was like for me as your patient there that day.
Try this instead: touch my shoulder, pause, address me by name, wait for my response, before beginning communication. It's a good approach, respectful and it works amazingly well in any situation with all ages of persons.
When I noticed that there was a problem with our lack of adequate communication I wondered how to remedy the situation as quickly as possible. I needed to communicate with you! I had a problem with not knowing what was going on inside my mouth. I needed to hear, "I'm touching your tooth. *and such and such*" [Please put an enlarged tooth chart on ceiling so I can know what the heck you are talking about] "Though you will feel this on the opposite side, I am about to blast with my obnoxiously loud tools on this side right side of your mouth." Et cetera.
Where the heck were MY ear plugs? I would have considered it polite to have been warned to purchase my own ear plugs for this treatment. Or better yet, to have been given a pair of ear plugs to wear during those brief but loud moments. It would have helped me to endure your yelling into my ear as well.
All in all, with my millionaire Mind Intensive hypnotherapy CD looping track 2, it felt like the surgery only lasted 10-20 minutes per quadrant.

Patient Secrets- Dentist Don't Know
Dear Dentist, Do you want to know a Secret? Well you should!
When you anesthetize an area of your patients mouth, what are you doing?
Do you not believe that you are effectively creating an environment where the cues or signals to the brain are getting short circuited or not sent? Would it be too much to assume that the cues are not making it to your patients brain? Could we, therefore, assume, that there are not cues enough for a patient to open and/or close their mouth?
I couldn't cue my mouth to close or open. There were no signals. However, my eyes could do the cuing with the help of a mirror. They could cue my own brain.
This didn't happen by looking at the assistants contortionist face, nor by looking at my dear dentists expressions. It didn't happen with verbal cues from them either.
Only when I could see my own reflection in a mirror with my own eyes, so that my brain could get the message did the connection become firm enough to send out the cues.
What a great indicator- A simple mirror + the patients brain = the cue to get the mouth to open or close appropriately. WHOOHOO!
Guess it's not a secret anymore. Tell your dentist before she does the amalgam removal/extraction surgery. She dosen't know the MIRROR+BRAIN=MOUTH cooperation thing, but she will want to know. Help her out, send her here.

Sick and tired of being sick and tired?
"How can I get well? Life fails to inspire me. I am dying of boredom."
Yeah, I make that plea often.
Try a meeting of the minds. Get a vision for your future.
Look at how happy you could be when you put your energy in an appropriate direction.
Get some Freedom so you can quit your job.
You need a vacation from boredom.

The Detox Blues
I have been gearing up to have my amalgam fillings removed. So eating the best I can and pulling my best detox tricks out of my hat is what I have been up to these past few days.
Bleh. That's what I have to say about it. Just Bleh. I feel like crud-ola.
I'm taking bayberry root to drain out the lymph and a few others to kick it into gear. Uhke, I think I'm choking on tonsil crud.
Why do I have to feel every inch of lymph? I bet I'm the only girl who knows the path her lymph travels. I'm sore there. Under my pits, all along the lines where the bra straps go- up and over and all the way around.
I even purchased bra extendors so as to not offend my son. Before I found those I was going without the brassiere. He had a problem with that. It hurts my liver spot right under the right -right where the underwire goes- I hate that pain!
And Doctor Mercola, I just have to be the one to tell you this- underwire is merely the term for it- they quit putting wire there years ago. It's all nylon. OK? Okay. I just had to be the one to tell you.
It is SO not fair! If men had huge boobies there would be mandates for no bra wearing.
So as I'm detoxing my mind is going nuts here. All the things of ages past race through my mind. The Mind- it is a terrible thing. Oh how it endeavors to waste mankind!
As you listen to 'the mind,' what do you hear it say?
"You can't do that!"
Ever stop to ask it, why not?
"You just CAN'T!" it says again.
Who says?
"We don't DO things that way"
Well, why don't we?
"We've never done it that way before"
So, like, I'm getting to the point here, that the mind is only trying to protect itself. From what? Change. It doesn't want to change. And any pathetic excuse it can muster, every excuse is pathetic, is what it will throw at you to try to get you to NOT do anything that is good for you. You can change. You can incorporate good habits into your routines. You do it ALL the time!
Look at an ad, newspaper, magazine, television, radio- where ever you find it, it replays the same thing over and over until it has successfully implanted itself into your mind. You know it when you find yourself humming along & *POP!* the trigger is there and suddenly YOU CRAVE that item. Whatever it is. A drink, a vehicle, an item of clothing or something to munch on.
Why am I so SPACED? I've been chasing my thoughts trying to corral them all day. Maybe blahging them out will help [someone].
Detox can be started up many different ways. I juice vegis. Half a cucumber, half a fennel, in a celery base. Then I usually go and ruin that delicious flavour by putting in a huge collard green leaf. I was smart today and had the collard green straight and first! Then the bunch of parsley- drank that with my handy dandy straw so it wouldn't chunk up on me. Then, speaking of chunks, I put in a chunk of ginger. How much? A tip-of-the-pinky sized chunk of fresh Hawaiian ginger. [not the pinky- keep the pinky attatched] Then those celery, fennel pieces, and cukes went in. I use the celery to push it all through the juicer. I have an Omega Juicer same as Doctor Mercola.
Whenever I do a detox protocol there is one thing I must keep in the forefront of it all: DRINK MORE WATER. I need to keep the little 3 by 5 card minders up all over the house. I usually drink near a gallon of water in the morning before double digits hit. What this means is that when I'm detoxing I need to get in WAY more. And that, girl, is quite a challenge.
I want to be set free from those things which hold me back. Toxins, I flush you out. I juice cilantro to bind those evil mercury that is in my system. That mercury will soon be coming out.
My independence day is coming. I'm nervous. Independence has its risks, but there is no freedom so great as to choose how I will live my own life. Living on bended knee, to enjoy bread and wine, is no freedom at all. It is not the life I want to live. I will not bow down to eat pop-culture foodstuffs.
There is no success in life so great as to be able to spend my life in my own way. Or as history says Patrick Henry put it: "Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God!;I know not what course others may take; but as for me," Give me a good internal cleansing so that I may not experience death at such a young age as all those around me.
I don't know about you, but I want to live! It is a death to be merely subsisting on crappy food which gives no life. I would yearn for true, mortal death over a life filled with fluff. I would rather have mortal death than a Starbucks, X-box, pop-culture, chase the wind, eek out an existence. If that were my life- give me death. And HOW!

How typical!
Yesterday I took my boys out shopping to spend their PLAY money after breakfast. With all the smells from the stores and the previous day's insults I was wiped out.
I was wondering what we had for lunch because I didn't have much of a recollection. They said I slept through lunch. I asked them what they had... "Oh, we had Jerey come over." (For lunch?) They didn't eat either. Bleh.
It is so easy to lose the appetite when chemical insults *happen*.
