Zig Ziglar

When you laugh at yourself the world laughs with you

Nothing, in my experience, has a stronger impact on individuals than hearing stories of how it was then, how it is now, and what happened in between. Those stories give hope to the hopeless. They say, “See, life can be hard but it will get better – if you do!” If you can’t see the light at the end of the tunnel you can’t see where to go. Stories of hope inspire people to find their way out of bad situations. Like the parables in the Bible – they give direction.

I’m sure I could have gone my entire speaking career without telling anyone that I don’t gamble or drink and why. I could have left out the truth about how many different jobs I’ve had in the course of my sales career; how many times I relocated my family in search of the pot-of-gold sales job. I could have skipped telling how my wife has cried with relief when I came with cash and we could pay bills and buy groceries. But I could never have convinced you that you can improve your attitude and your circumstances if I couldn’t show you how I’d done it myself.

I was young, vigorous and healthy when all of the circumstances mentioned above happened. Now I have challenges that I may never entirely overcome, and I want you to know that having the right outlook, realistic expectations, and constant hope for something better will serve you and the people you love so much better than resigned acceptance of the status quo. Life is to be lived transparently, excitedly, with eager anticipation of the good things that still lie ahead, in spite of our circumstances.

Keeping the faith

Romans 8:28, “We know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are called according to his purpose” (KJV), is the verse that allows me to know that God will use this season of my life, difficult though it may be, for His glory and my ultimate benefit.

Remicaid in action

These are all stories from people who have tried Remicaid that I found posted on the net: I had the same reaction when I was on Remicade. I just thought it was the benedryl they gave me before the infusion. I developed Lupus on the drug and had to be taken off. That is when my red and white blood count to a dive to a very dangerous level. The day after I had a bone marrow biopsy I quit taking ALL drugs. At the time I was on, Remicade, Naprosyn, Arava, Prednisone, Darvocet, Nexium, Ambian and Imitrex.

I just had an infusion today. About an hour after I made my post my legs started to hurt really bad 91/2 out of ten pain scale and they are hot to the touch...now it seems to be moving up my back and down my right arm. I'm getting weakness in those areas too. I don't know whether I should call the hospital or not but I took some tylenol and some benedryl and nothing seems to be helping. the pain is making me dizzy and naseated.

Well I ended up going to the emergency room right after I made my post. To say the least I won't be getting anymore infusions. The ER doctor said that he didn't know why my body would react that way but he didn't think it would be a good idea to resume the infusions. I tried explaining what happened to my Rheumatologist today but he blew me off and concluded that I have fibromyalgia (spelling?) and wanted me to continue the Remicade. He said that he thought my reactions were a coincidence and weren't from the medication but from the Fibro. He said he has 100 people on the medication and he has never heard of the reactions I was describing. I told him I wasn't going to do the infusions anymore because it just wasn't worth it for myself. I know for a fact that the migrane, hot and cold flashes, dizziness, being light-headed,blurry vision, weakness in limbs, stiff neck, swollen throat and extreme pain in my muscles in the legs and arm leaving them hot to the touch was all due to the infusion. My first infusion had a few side effects that were mainly just annoying but this time was even worse and quite frankly I don't want to test the third time. I know this drug is amazing for a lot of people. I'm grateful that its out there for those that can benefit. Is anyone on or familiar with Humira?

I need to know if anyone at all has had a side effect of numbness from their remicade. My husband was receiving treatements for Crohn's and now the hand that he was receiving the IV in is injured. He has nerve damage and he was experiencing numbness after his second treatment. I really need to find out if anyone else has experienced this, the doctors can't help us.

Hi Carolyn P - I'll send you an email about my experience with Remicade but loss of feeling and nerve problems are definitely associated with Remicade.

Hi Srcreaky :-) Just read your posting about remicade. I don't think the side effects get better, just worse - and sometimes with no warning. The day after I had my 7th remicade infusion I work up and couldn't walk. I literally fell back in bed because of the numbness in one leg. In the ER room at the local hospital the numbness continued up my other leg until both legs were numb up to my waist.

The local ER doc didn't know what to do with my so he sent me on to the Cleveland Clinic. Once there, I was admitted by the doc who did my neck and back surgery since there were thinking it was another disc that needed to be fused. He put me on steroids, IV, first thing.

The MRI (total body, with and without contrast) took over 2 hours with just lying still and didn't show anything with the spinal cord. I had more blood work, more doctors and more opinions. They cancelled my back surgery because there was not enough to support doing it.

Six days later, just after the neurologist did a spinal tap which came out negative, it was decided that the remicade's side effect was to blame. That was 2 years ago and I STILL have the numbness in one leg causing me to lose my balance a lot and forcing me to use a cane full time as well as lean on someone when walking.

Yes, I am bitter because I was told only a very small percentage of people have a problem with side effects. Remicade did this to me.

Be careful, VERY careful when using remicade.

HEALTH CANADA ADVISORY

August 20, 2009

Health Canada issued an advisory concerning the use of Remicade® (infliximab). To read the full Health Canada Advisory, visit Health Canada's web site at www.hc-sc.gc.ca.

A previous advisory was issued on July 24, 2006, and can be accessed at www.hc-sc.gc.ca.

Some children and young adults with Crohn's disease who were receiving infliximab have developed hepatosplenic T-cell lymphoma, a rare type of cancer that is often fatal. Talk to your doctor if you have any concerns.

Immune system disorders: Some people who take this medication have developed lupus-like syndrome, an autoimmune disease (a condition where the body is attacked by its own immune system). Symptoms of lupus-like syndrome include chest pain, joint pain, difficulty breathing, and a skin rash (usually on the cheeks and arms) that is sensitive to the sun. If you develop these symptoms, contact your doctor as soon as possible.

Infections: This medication can increase the risk of developing an infection, including serious infections such as sepsis, pneumonia, and tuberculosis. Before starting infliximab treatment, your doctor may test to see if you have tuberculosis. If you notice signs of an infection such as fever, chills, pain, swelling, or pus, contact your doctor as soon as possible. This medication should also not be started while you have an active infection. While you are taking infliximab, your doctor will monitor you for signs of infection.

Children: The safety and effectiveness of this medication have not been established for children under 9 years old. It can be used to treat children 9 years and older who have moderate-to-severe Crohn's disease. The safety and effectiveness of this medication for treating other conditions in children 9 years and older have not been established.

Not the Way to go!

Gary Sage has seen first hand the impact juvenile arthritis can have on a young child. Ten years ago, his then five-year-old son, Geoff, was diagnosed with juvenile arthritis. Like many other Canadians, the Sage family was not aware that arthritis could affect people at such a young age. At first, they thought their son was having ‘growing pains’. However, after Geoff continued to complain about hurting bones and had difficulty sleeping, his family pursued the proper diagnosis.
It took two months, many trips to the hospital and a series of tests before Geoff, who is now 15, was diagnosed with juvenile arthritis. Since his diagnosis, he has endured more than 200 hospital visits and is currently waiting to have his second hip-replacement surgery.
“It’s really difficult to explain how this disease has impacted Geoff’s life because everything looks fine on the outside,” explains Gary. “Very few understand that arthritis can affect young people. The disease has taken away my son’s ability to live life like most 15-year-old kids. Geoff cannot ride a bike, play football or even put on his own socks most days. I am hopeful that one day, with commitment and dedication towards research and finding a cure, children with juvenile arthritis will be able to have access to the best treatments and will have a chance at experiencing remission.”

Natural treatment for RA

Altough is so often stated that there is no cure for RA, this statement is nonsense. It is possible to heal every disease, but not every person, because not every person believes and support one´s own healing.

The goals of natural treatment of Rheumatoid Arthtritis are to:

Relieve pain and regenerate nerves
Neutralize acidity in the body
Heal inflammation and kill the pathogens which cause it. Inflammation does not come from the blue sky - they are always certain bacterias or viruses involved, because immune system is not defending the body from them.
Improve immune system and restore itś primary function
improve health of kidneys
balance hormones (especially thyroid, parathyroid, sexual hormones, hormones of adrenal glands)
regenerate blood
Slow down joint damage and gradually restore the health of the joints
.

The worst problem is - when people BELIEVE that there is no cure for their illness. Such belief attracts further problems - as fears, not accepting healing (attitude "there is no cure for it, why should I try?") and is the best path for allowing illness to progress. The truth is - what you believe that truth is. Every illness is just one challenge more - WHICH IS ALWAYS POSSIBLE TO OVERCOME.

Healing Bones

Bones in our body are very much alive, and in the process of constant change, so they can be easier healed then we are aware of.

In the process of healing the bones, we heal them at the same way we heel cartilage (because cartilage is basic material for the bones) plus we need to balance quantity of mineral salts which harden the bones ( especially calcium and phosporus), and establish maximum of balance in the other parts of the body connected with health of the bones: endocrine balance, kidneys and liver, blood circulation etc.

In the process of healing the bones, healing or balancing the parathyroid glands is always necessary, as well as to balance whole endocrine system. Parathyroid glands (as part of thyroid gland in the throat) are directly influencing health of the bones and teeth (they balance level of Calcium and Phosphor in the body and parathyroid hormones influence production of vitamin D which is important for mineralization of bones. Health of kidneys and liver are also very important, because within both of them vitamin D transforms into bio-active form which body can use - for mineralization of the bones.

Sexual hormones are necessary for building the bones (estrogen, progesterone, testosterone). Diabetes is destroyer of bones (endocrine gland pancreas). Stress is killer of the bones, because during the stress body spends much more minerals then usual - which are stored - in the bones (connection with adrenal glands and pituitary gland).

What to Eat??

Vegetable juices especially a mixture of carrot, beet and cucumber is very beneficial. Green salad with lemon juice, cooked vegetables like pumpkin, spices like ginger, coriander, asafetida, and turmeric all contribute to the well being of the joints.

Fruits like apples, oranges, grapes, papaya should be taken liberally.

Vit E

Vitamin E is helpful not only in preventing breakdown of cartilage but also in generating the components necessary for the manufacture of cartilage. Collagen, which is an important constituent of cartilage, requires the presence of vitamin C. In some individuals, tomatoes, potatoes and peppers can prevent collagen repair, so the diet needs to be suitably altered to exclude these. It has been found that allergic foods can trigger joint pain, so the first step is to identify these foods and eliminate them from your diet. Be sure to go low on tea, sugar, yogurt, chocolate and tempting spicy and fried foods. A radical change in your lifestyle can do wonders for arthritis.

Natural Hygiene

NH teaches that our bodies are always self-healing & always do the right thing when we have diseases
Our bodies always do the right thing. We are passengers on the train of life, not the conductors. Since life began on earth, our God within, our inherent intelligence within each cell of our bodies, has learned to make the optimum adaptation and resolution, to any problem to which our bodies are subjected.

Whatever stresses our bodies presently have, our ancestors have successfully learned how to successfully cope with such, previously. It is already built into our genes, our chromosomes and our DNA.

Our inherent intelligence, if it chooses to produce disease, it does so to protect us. This disease, or whatever our pathology or symptomatology, helps us survive, despite our self-destructive lifestyle, thinking and spirituality. Our disease is for our protective benefit.

Our disease will spontaneously heal, when the cause and need for our inherent intelligence, our God within, to produce disease, no longer exists.


Natural Hygiene teaches that every pathology and physiological dysfunction produces a concomitant symptomatology in all human beings. Only Natural Hygiene has had the insight to write about this inherent self-healing mechanism.

This means, that your inherent intelligence, your God within, is always talking to you. If you listen to it and obey it, you will always have good health. So whenever you are ill, your inherent intelligence produces symptoms upon which you should concentrate, meditate on, pay attention to and feel, until you are asymptomatic, i.e., until your symptoms completely and permanently disappear. If and when you will do this, your illness and the cause of your illness, will always help heal completely and permanently.


Avoid treating your symptoms to heal, remove the cause
To heal your health problems, you must remove its cause. To just treat your symptoms, does not permanently heal yourself.

In treating your symptoms, you are just treating the effects, not the cause. Your symptoms exist for your protective benefit. Your symptoms are the healing and detoxifying reaction of your inherent intelligence, your God within. Your symptoms are always controlled by your inherent intelligence. This is why your symptoms should never be destroyed, interfered with and suppressed.

The destruction, interference, and suppression of your symptoms, prevents these inherent, protective bodily defenses from healing yourself. If your inherent intelligence cannot heal your distresses, nothing and nobody else can. No destructive, interfering and suppressive therapy of any kind can heal you, but only your inherent intelligence can heal.

Causes of Arthritis

Arthritis is a "disease" caused principally by impaired metabolism and toxemia (poisons in the blood and tissues).

Arthritis is inflammation of the joints, that occurs when toxins and irritants enter the joints. Arthritis is an acid condition that results from incorrect dietary habits and causes destruction of the cartilage and bones. Formation of calcium urates in the joints, results in pain and inflammation and eventual fusion of the joint, if the disease is allowed to progress.

Arthritis is caused by self-destructive health habits, including incorrect diet, poor food combinations, lack of physiological rest and sleep, lack of proper exercise, lack of fresh air and sunshine, smoking, consumption of alcohol and coffee, emotional intemperance, use of drugs, pills and other factors that cause nutritional impairment, intestinal poisoning and chronic toxemia. A return to a more healthful lifestyle, will enable your body to correct your arthritis.

We placed her on a water fast with feeling meditation, followed by a correct diet. She fully recovered. She returned to school teaching and functioned very satisfactorily. We had been in contact with her for 20 years thereafter. She was still teaching school and she remained symptom free of her arthritis.

We placed him on a water fast with feeling meditation followed by a correct diet. He fully recovered his good health. He was able to bend his fingers as far as is normal without pain. Also, the pain in his neck and back disappeared. He returned to his trial attorney profession and functioned very satisfactorily as such.

Macrobiotics

Through macrobiotics I learned fascinating facts about my body, its organs, systems, and functions. I knew I had kidneys, but had never given them a thought until now. I learned how these small yet vital organs are connected to the health of my bones and joints. Eureka! This was the answer. My dietary habits had depleted the minerals in my bones and the energy in my kidneys. The macrobiotic diet provided the high-mineral foods to revitalize my kidneys. Its low fat foods allowed my body to eliminate years of accumulation, creating a greater flow of blood and energy through my entire body.

Within one week my pain had totally gone. My energy increased. I breathed easier, slept more soundly and felt more hope and inner power than ever before. I got the message loud and clear. Macrobiotics was my solution. After twelve years, I continue practicing the macrobiotic way of life and continue to be free of arthritis. I am deeply grateful to each of my macrobiotic teachers for sharing their profound knowledge and wisdom and, with tireless dedication, for creating books, classes and institutes in which people learn the macrobiotic way of life.

What to eat

Jordan Rubin

calcium

. I recommend 500 mg of calcium (in MCHC, microcrystalline hydroxyapatite) daily, and recommend two or three times that amount for people who do not have access to raw milk. A well-assimilated calcium supplement is good insurance for men and women alike against osteoporosis. The best calcium formulas contain magnesium and the trace minerals manganese and boron, which are important in the absorption and utilization of calcium. These can be taken in combination, as a multi-mineral supplemen

Meds

The medication cannot be discontinued immediately since it takes a little while until the diet takes effect. First one should try to wean the patient from cortisone since these artificial adrenal cortex preparations generally inhibit protein synthesis. That means they do not only suppress the production of immune cells and thereby subdue the symptoms, but also interfere with the healing of the mucosa. Eventually one will be able to discontinue all medication. Should there be a relapse in the first few years, one can temporarily take up the medication again. A mild relapse does not require medication.

FASTER HEALING IF CHEERFUL
What price diagnosis? How important is it if you know how to eat properly? The true key to understanding health and disease is to know what food substances and amounts the body needs for optimal health, and once known, healing is only a matter of time and energy available.
The greater the energy, the quicker the healing - the more cheerful the state of mind, the more energy is conserved and utilized for healing. In Chinese literature, there is a saying that, "The art of the Healer is to amuse the patient while Nature does the healing."

BEST WAY TO TREAT PATIENTS
So what is the conclusion to all this? The best way to treat patients is to use whatever diagnostic knowledge is available, but not to be overly concerned with the accuracy of it.
Next, to reduce drugs slowly by increments as the patient improves by the removal of poor quality food and replacing it with the best quality available. Organic food should be used if available, and the meals should contain all the important and necessary proteins, fats, carbohydrates, minerals, etc.
The total daily amount of food consumed should be the minimal amount the appetite can be happy with (to avoid toxic accumulation and energy loss) for maximum longevity.
Luigi Cornaro, who lived in Padua, Italy in the 1400's, who was dying at 35 years of age, reduced his food to a total of 12 ounces per day, divided into 2 meals of 6 oz each, and 7 ounces of grape juice. In one year's time, he was completely recovered from all illness and lived in vigorous health to 102. When he died, he fell asleep in his rocking chair and painlessly left his body, in a state of total peace.

Lovin' These!!

ALL BODIES HAVE SAME REQUIREMENTS
There is one bloodstream which both nourishes the body and removes all diseases. There is one Nature, one life-force and all bodies have the same requirements - good food, proper rest and sleep, some sunlight, a moderate amount of exercise, and proper thought. If you provide these requirements, Nature (which is God manifesting on the material plane) will unfailingly heal you. "All the rest is jazz," as the expression goes - all the rest is secondary in importance.
All living creatures know this intuitively, and it's time that we, as intelligent humans, become aware of it consciously.

INACCURACY OF DIAGNOSIS
There are so many systems of diagnosis - medical, Oriental (ayurvedic), Chinese (meridians),zone therapy, iridiagnosis, sclerotic diagnosis, reflexes, Naturopathy, x-ray, applied kinesiology, pulse and tongue diagnosis, germ theory, virus theory, genetics, etc., etc.
The Mayo Clinic, one of the most prestigious in the world, admits that their diagnosis is 50% accurate at best, and 50% inaccurate in the rest. This is followed by their prognosis or prediction of the possible outcome, which is equally inaccurate. They are completely unable to state the healing possibilities of non-medical or natural approaches to disease since they have never studied or used them and find them completely unknown.
What is there to be said about lesser institutions than the Mayo Clinic, where the diagnosis is even less accurate, even with the most expensive machinery as the MRI etc., which have their percentage of inaccuracies also?

TREATING SYMPTOMS
In all diagnostic systems there is never total accuracy, but a varying percentage at best. While there may be some value in each of the systems after the diagnosis is made, especially by the leading medical institutions, after the pronouncements and names of disease are given, what will they tell you to do to get well?
They haven't the slightest idea, and, according to the most authoritative medical textbooks on Symptomatology and Pathology, the majority of diseases listed are stated to have causes which are "unknown." So all they can do is what they have been trained to do - to treat symptoms, to use drugs, surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, etc. None of these are aimed at removing causes, but rather directed at removing bodily parts and consigning them to surgical garbage pails.

EASY REVERSAL OF ILLNESS
Once the truth of how to live is understood, the process of illness can be reversed more or less painlessly by intelligent living, and good health can then be easily maintained by persistence in good habits.

REMOVING CAUSE OF DISEASE

The important thing to understand here is that whenever you remove all causes of disease, beginning with what a person eats and drinks, which is usually the most important and basic cause of all diseases, the body begins to heal itself, no matter where the disease is located.

Gandhi

MAHATMA GANDHI
"The late Mahatma Gandhi devoted much of his life to the advocacy of strict vegetarian diet, and for years he experimented on his own body to find a suitable selection of plant foods on which to sustain health.

But all attempts were failures. In 1929, Gandhi and 22 companions went on a diet consisting of a limited selection of uncooked plant foods. Whereas the diet worked out well for a time and led to marked improvement in consumptive cases, it failed to prove adequate on a long-range sustenance basis. One by one Gandhi's companions were forced to depart from the diet, and Gandhi himself had to add goat milk to his fare in order to regain health.

"For my companions I have been a blind guide leading the blind," declared Gandhi after the experiment was over. Gandhi still felt, however, that "the hidden possibilities of the innumerable seeds, leaves and fruits" of the earth could be explored and found to provide mankind with adequate nourishment. He never stopped trying to experiment along these lines, but he always had to turn back to goat milk to regain his strength.

In the end he had to acknowledge the necessity for animal food. In 1946 he declared: "The crores of India today get neither milk nor ghee nor butter, nor even buttermilk. No wonder that mortality figures are on the increase and there is a lack of energy in the people. It would appear as if man is really unable to sustain life without either meat or milk and milk products. Anyone who deceives people in this regard or countenances the fraud is an enemy of India."

These are strong words from a man who devoted most of his life to the search for a satisfactory vegetarian diet. But Gandhi's experience is not unique in the field of nutrition. Many others have also gone through the experience of believing that man could thrive exclusively upon a limited selection of uncooked plant foods, only to find in the end that animal products were necessary for sustenance.

NOT SICKNESSES, BUT SICK PERSONS RECOVER

If we understand that it is the sick person that recovers and not the disease, we will understand that there is a vast difference between treating disease (the popular delusional practice) and caring for a sick person. In the first case, the efforts are directed at controlling, suppressing, palliating and destroying symptoms and local pathologies; in the second instance, the efforts are directed at removing the causes that have impaired the body and at trying to supply the body with its physiological needs. There is no effort made to cure the disease, as it is well understood that healing is a biological process and that no man can either duplicate or imitate the process. There is no treatment of disease for the reason that there is no disease, per se, to treat.

THE UNITY OF DISEASE


In the practice of Medicine, diseases are named according to their location. For example, inflammation of the tonsils is called tonsillitis, inflammation of the prostate is called prostatitis, inflammation of the joints is called arthritis, etc.
It is a fact that a single cause (i.e. an irritating toxin, chemical or drug) can cause irritation or inflammation of different bodily organs or parts in different people according to which are the weakest organs.

This brings us to an understanding of the Unity of Disease. Since all parts of the body without exception are nourished by the foods that are eaten, being transported by the blood and lymph circulation, which reaches to every single body cell, it is important to understand that the quality and quantity of food we eat will determine and inevitably affect the health of the body. As well as determine how efficiently it is able to eliminate all of its unusable metabolic waste products.

Retained wastes, which are not promptly eliminated become the feeding ground for bacteria, germs and viruses of all kinds. Their presence is necessary to break down these waste substances for easier elimination. This is part of the ecological plan of nature to recycle all substances to nourish and keep all of its creation healthy. These bacteria are omnipresent everywhere and are not the cause of disease, but become involved only in the retention of bodily wastes. These agents do not cause disease in persons who eat properly and keep their tissues free from stagnation.

This is easily proven by the rapid improvement and healing of all congested and inflamed tissues and organs, which follows as soon as one abstains from all foods, as in fasting on water alone or in a restricted amount of vegetable juices, thus allowing the body to catch up with the full elimination of all retained wastes, along with their bacteria, germs and viruses. Finding no more available waste material to feed on, they quickly vanish.

In my lifetime I had 3 serious bouts of influenza; each time I fasted on water, went to bed sleeping almost continuously, and all three times, by the end of the third day and beginning of the fourth day, I was completely "cured" with minimum of suffereing and discomfort throughout.

"The Master Drama of Life" is based upon two processes - the growth and nourishment of the body and the elimination of its wastes. When this is correctly balanced, health and happiness is ever in manifestation and diseases are nowhere to be found in this simple plan designed by God and present in his creation called Nature and its laws of life.

With these thoughts in mind The Life Science is interested in presenting the simple truths expressed by God and presented to his children in the bible, as well as the holy books of all religions. So that by observance of these simple rules of eating, thinking and balanced living, they may be enabled to keep clean the body temples of their souls. By these means, all people may find happiness and the fullest expression of their spiritual natures and fulfillment, and in the simplest manner possible, since simplicity is the source of all that is divine and good.
