E. F. T.
Emotional Freedom Technique
(one of the techniques I use to effect change)
British researchers discovered that women and men respond very differently to working long hours. When stressed,
women tend to eat more unhealthy snacks, drink more caffeine, smoke more and exercise less. The researchers emphasized the
importance of adhering to a balanced diet. However, they did not have solutions for women who use food to help them deal with
stress. A simple acupressure technique may be that solution.
Women have been using Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT)
to address the effects of stress, and to curb emotional eating for more than a decade. It involves fingertip tapping on select
acupressure points while focusing on the stressor in question.
Fortunately, a growing number of medical practitioners are addressing the emotional roots of stress using EFT. According
to Dr. Eric Robins, a California urologist who uses EFT in his medical practice, “Whenever we are pushed above our threshold
we become stressed and anxious. We then try to deal with that stress through a variety of coping mechanisms learned during
childhood. These include anger, depression, fear, substance abuse, and overeating.” According to Gary Craig,
the Stanford-trained engineer who developed EFT, “This technique balances the body’s energy meridian system (Chi
or Qi) which becomes disrupted when under stress. We focus on the emotions that may be triggered by stress and when anxiety,
frustration and fear are dissolved with EFT, overeating stops being the automatic response.” Researcher on this
study, Dr. Daryl O'Connor of Leeds University says, "An overwhelming body of evidence shows the importance of maintaining
a balanced diet, including eating a low fat diet and five portions of fruit and vegetables a day. Yet our study points to
a clear link between stress and a tendency to eat more unhealthy snacks and consume fewer vegetables and less of a balanced
main meal." According to Gary Craig, “In my experience, when patients seem to have an inability to adhere to
healthy lifestyle choices, in spite of the dire consequences, it is because they have a severely disrupted energy meridian
system. This disruption may be caused by unresolved negative emotions or past traumas. EFT is one of the only treatment options
available to address this disruption, correct the self-sabotaging behaviors, and allow people to choose healthier alternatives.” Dr.
Robins says, "At least 85% of medical problems are physical manifestations of how stress/anxiety/past traumas are held in
and processed by the body. The best technique to address these issues and to clear them out of the body is EFT.” Although
most Americans have yet to hear of it, EFT may be the world’s fastest-growing self-help technique because people are
getting results where nothing else has worked for them. Over 350,000 have downloaded Craig’s free training manual and
another 10,000 download it each month. The official EFT Manual has been translated by volunteer practitioners into nine languages. The
EFT Manual explains the basics so that anyone can begin applying EFT right away. It can be freely!! downloaded

EFT combined with NLP is even more powerful. Harnessing your negative thoughts and self-talk, together we'll use
your internal dialogue to progress your true desires.

Can a One-Minute Anger Management Technique Reduce Injury Risk and Chronic Illness?
San
Francisco, CA (PRWEB)--
Anger contributes to accidents that cause injury. That sounds obvious, but no one tested the connection until researchers
at the University of Missouri - Columbia found that anger doubles the risk of injury. Their study of emergency room patients
was published in last week's Annals of Family Medicine.
What surprised researchers was the high level of irritability, anger, and hostility in their control group. "We live
in a very angry society," observes Professor Dan Vinson, the study's primary author.
"Most physicians and psychiatrists use drugs to calm the anger and hostility that can lead to injury," says Gary Craig,
founder of a self-help procedure called Emotional Freedom Techniques, or EFT. "But it's possible, without drugs, to defuse
most destructive emotions quickly and efficiently by tapping on key acupuncture points while focusing on whatever you're upset
about. In most cases, the anger simply disappears."
According to hundreds of EFT practitioners, the technique works quickly and permanently - in other words, far more effectively
than conventional anger management or drug therapies. The tapping procedure takes less than a minute to complete, and even
when it has to be repeated, it works far faster than conventional methods. It's also easy to learn and can be done anywhere.
That's good news, for anger does more than increase the risk of injury. It can literally make you sick.
Eric Robins, MD, a Los Angeles urologist, teaches EFT to his patients. "Stress and negative emotions aren't just in our
heads," he says. "They are stored in the body. If you think about the last time you were angry or anxious or depressed, you'll
notice where you physically felt those emotions. Emotional issues block the body's flow of healing energy wherever they're
stored. In the office, whenever I see someone with a chronic condition, pain, or problem that doesn't respond to conventional
therapies, I ask about past traumas or things that the patient feels angry about."
In 70 to 75 percent of cases, he says, EFT significantly improves symptoms. "And not just temporarily," he says. "In
most cases, the anger permanently disappears, and so do the physical symptoms that were attached to it."
EFT may be the world's fastest-growing self-help technique. Every week, between 5,000 and 10,000 people download Gary
Craig's free EFT instruction manual, and his weekly newsletter has 165,000 subscribers.
The EFT Manual is part of Craig's free EFT Get Started Package and can be downloaded by anyone at...
This EFT Manual gives you all the basics so you can apply it right away.
"I'm not surprised by the University of Missouri findings," says Dr. Robins. "Learning and using EFT can help anyone
avoid the kind of injury and chronic illness that can result from impatience, anger, and losing one's temper, or from suppressing
those same emotions."

Neways Shampoo
(this is an email from a Neways shampoo customer)
I thought you might like to copy and paste the following to your Neways friends. I read these shampoo ingredients
from a very cheap shampoo I bought in a small one pound shop in Reading.
The shampoo is called WAVE, with silk
proteins (?)
Ingredients
Aqua, sodium laureth sulfate, sodium chloride, parfum, styrene/acrylates copolymer,
cocamidopropyl bertaine, polyqarternium 39, panthenol, disodium edta, citric acid, magnesium nitrate, sodium lauryl sulfate,
methyl paraben, hydrolized silk, methylchloroisothiazolinone, magnesium chloride, propyl paraben, methylisothiazolinone.
Costing
one pound sterling for 750ml
I washed my entire batherroom with one dose of an amount one would wash their hair
in the first wash and it was sparkling; do these manufacturers think we are so needy of all this? It is like we are a DIY
item to be poisoned to death!
When I heard the Neways bathroom CD about Sodium laureth sulfate and any other
words that followed the sodium lauryl I realized I must stop buying these shampoos and so I bought Neways Second
Chance shampoo and for the first time in my life I had lovely, glowing and healthy looking hair. I always thought
I had greasy hair that needed a wash every day, now I find I only need to wash every two to three days. I feel far more pretty
and I love to have such light feeling hair. If I forget to wash for a week, it only looks a little dirty, but not at all greasy,
stuck to my face, or anything like before.
Also my friends have remarked on my hair being much better, saying
things like, "how have you changed your hair?".
Thank heavens for the information Neways has given me and bless
this company.
Love and peace,
Katherine

LIPSTICK INFORMATION
Something to consider next time you go shopping for Lipstick...
This comes from someone who works
in the breast cancer unit at Mt. Sinai Hospital in Toronto.
From: Dr. Nahid Neman
If there is a female you
care anything about, share this with her. I did!
I am also sharing this with the males on my e-mail list, because they
need to tell the females THEY care about as well!
Recently a lipstick brand called "Red Earth" Decreased their prices
from $67 to $9.90. It contained lead.
Lead is a chemical which causes cancer.
The lipstick brands that contain
lead are:
CHRISTIAN DIOR
LANCOME
CLINIQUE
Y.S.L.
ESTEE LAUDER
SHISEIDO
RED EARTH (Lip Gloss)
CHANEL
(Lip Conditioner)
MARKET AMERICA-MOTNES LIPSTICK.
The higher the lead content, the greater the chance of causing cancer.
After doing a test on lipsticks,
it was found that the Y.S.L. Lipstick contained the most amount of lead.
Watch out for those lipsticks which are supposed
to stay longer. If your lipstick stays longer, it is because of the higher content of lead.
Here is the test you can do yourself:
1. Put some lipstick on your hand.
2. Use a Gold ring to
scratch on the lipstick.
3. If the lipstick color changes to black, then you know the lipstick contains lead.
Please send this information to all your girlfriends,
wife and female family members.
This
information is being circulated at Walter Reed Army Medical Center.
Dioxin Carcinogens cause cancer,
Especially breast cancer

Anti-Oxidants to the
Rescue!
|
The following is a brief summary of Chapter 5 of Health Defence by Dr Paul
Clayton.
The book is available directly from the Health Defence website
www.healthdefence.com
This is part of a serialisation of the book.
We hope that you will utilise the information to improve your nutrition, health and longevity. |
Anti-oxidants to the Rescue
· Anti-oxidants are the first line of defence against
free radical damage and could add many more healthy years to your life span
There are basically three lines of anti-oxidant defences:
1st Line Anti-oxidant
Enzymes are made in the body and contain an atom of selenium, zinc, manganese,
copper, or iron. Small amounts of these metals are vital to our health.
2nd Line Anti-oxidants
Micro-nutrients are obtained from our diet. These include Vitamins A, C
and E, and the B Vitamins. Co-enzyme Q10, flavonoids and carotenoids are important vitamin-like compounds which have anti-oxidant
properties.
3rd Line Anti-oxidants
compounds are formed in the body, and are made up from elements in the diet.
These include melatonin, glutathione, oestrogen, alpha-lipoic acid, Q10 and others.
· Studies show that the doses of anti-oxidants needed
for good health are far larger than the current RDA (Recommended Daily Allowances)
· Anti-oxidants come in vitamin, enzyme and compound
forms. These can all help slow the ageing process
· Trace metals (selenium, etc) are vital for anti-oxidant
enzymes to work
· No single vitamin or mineral is sufficient - our
bodies need combinations of anti-oxidants which work in harmony
· The risk of heart disease, blindness, cancer, asthma,
dementia and arthritis can all be reduced with anti-oxidants
Your Anti-Oxidant Checklist
· Eat more fruit, vegetables, nuts and wholegrain foods.
· Only drink alcohol in moderation, preferably red wine.
· Take moderate amounts of exercise to boost your anti-oxidant enzyme levels - 20 minutes of exercise
three times a week is the minimum.
· Get a good night’s sleep in a dark room to boost your melatonin levels. Capsules are available
in some countries.
· Most people would benefit from a daily supplement of Vitamins C (500mg), D, E (100mg mixed tocopherols
or 265mg D-alpha), B group, Q10, mixed carotenoids (10-20mg) and alpha-lipoic acid (ALA).
· Mineral supplements of zinc, selenium, copper and manganese will ensure the anti-oxidant enzymes are
working properly. Only supplement with iron if iron deficiency has been diagnosed!
· Curcumin, thyme, rosemary, ginger, garlic, chilli, gingko, cocoa and green tea are all good anti-oxidant
‘extras’.
· If you smoke, exercise excessively, sunbathe or are suffering from chronic inflammation or infection,
you need extra anti-oxidants.
· Athletes supplement with higher dose E, C, beta-carotene and Q10 to reduce muscle damage.
To protect against and treat the following, incorporate these into
your diet and supplement mix:
Heart Disease: Selenium (100-200mcg), C, E, Q10 (90-270mg) and mixed carotenoids, grapeseed, hawthorn or bilberry flavonoids, betaine.
Cataracts: C, E, alpha-lipoic acid, mixed carotenoids, riboflavin (B2), and turmeric.
Macular Degeneration: Vitamins E and C, lutein, zeaxanthin, selenium,
bilberry extract, lycopene and riboflavin (B2).
Parkinson’s Disease: Full anti-oxidant combination, including Vitamins E and C, Q10, beta-carotene, cysteine/alpha-lipoic
acid, hawthorn extract, thyme oil.
Asthma: Fish oil, Vitamins C and E, magnesium, turmeric, gingko, lecithin and/or betaine and sterols.
Arthritis: Vitamins C and E, ginger, curcuminoids, fish or hemp oil and sterols

60 is a healthy diet score.
Less than 60: how much could your health improve,
noticeably, by taking better care of your diet?
If you’ve scored
well apart from a few niggles and would like to enhance longevity, book an appointment or ask for more information.
“Convenience foods” dominate our society nowadays: packets and tins
of prepared food which require no kitchen skills but provide a ready-to-eat meal in just a few minutes. Sadly, these are often low in fibre, vitamins and minerals, high
in fat and high in added salt and sugar/sweeteners. If you’re living on a diet of convenience foods/microwaved food, you are endangering
your health and well-being. Avoid eat microwaved food/drink.
Ask me how selected minerals/vitamins
can boost your performance; and how to supplement your diet with natural products with over 90% bioavailability (absorption).
If you can’t find
it in you to change your diet for the better, make an appointment for an NLP session (neurolinguistic programming) and I’ll
show you ways to improve it to a life-enhancing, illness-avoiding diet for life.
