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.

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."

Is your shampoo safe?
Introducing
:-) 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

My
mother suffered from dandruff as long as I remember, from when I was a child. When I bought a bottle of Neways shampoo,
her dandruff disappeared! She kindly lent it to a friend of hers, leaving her with no alternative but her old shampoos -
well, her dandruff returned. She ordered more Neways shampoo and she has been dandruff free since.

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

“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).

Feel
Bloated? Do you have Candida?
My heart goes out to all of you suffering
from this agonising cycle of eating, bloating, discomfort, pain and cramps, lethargy... and then it starts all over again.
Or worse: It never goes away! The first step to healing Candida is to get diagnosed,
but we all know that is much easier said than done and a diagnosis does not bring a fast solution either. After all, we all
must eat and if it’s food that makes you ill, where do you begin without starving yourself?
There is no quick
fix and Candida will force you to change your eating habits and consequently your life.
Nature heals
what nature harms
So what's left after you take cheese, fruit, caffeine, bread, pasta, sugar, alcohol,
chocolate and various other foods from your diet? And how do you go about tackling Candida?
The first step to
remember is that you need to starve the Candida yeast. But before you do this with a food elimination diet, you need to do
a detox. Cut out all coffee, tea and juices for at least a month. Drink plenty of water to help your body detoxify and start
your day with a cup of hot water and lemon juice (there is no need to eliminate lemon juice even though it is a fruit).
Start with a food elimination diet by incorporating the following food groups in your diet.
Vegetables: Some vegetables like raw garlic, onions, cabbage, broccoli, turnip and kale will actually inhibit the
growth of Candida. Buy your vegetables fresh and steam them. Add a little garlic for flavour (garlic is also helpful with
Candida). Eat plenty of salads with raw salad vegetables such as celery and peppers to help detox and to help energy. Not
only do vegetables starve the Candida of its sugar and mould diet, they also absorb fungal poisons and carry them out of your
body.
Keep starchy vegetables like potatoes and yams to a minimum.
Proteins: As part
of your plan to starve the Candida yeast, feel free to eat plenty of high-protein meals. Foods like beef, chicken, fish and
eggs are all good for you anyway and are almost completely free of sugars and mould. They will fill you up while restricting
the Candida's appetite and growth. Other supplements can also help, whey protein being a good example.
Live
yogurt cultures: Live yogurt cultures (or probiotics) are a class of supplement that help your gut to repopulate
itself with good bacteria. They are especially useful or when suffering from Candida. The live bacteria in yogurt will crowd
out the Candida yeast and restore balance to your system. I recommend Advanced Probiotics by Neways (see my shop).
Good bacteria will also produce antifungal enzymes that can help you fight Candida.
Nuts and seeds:
Another protein option that starves Candida and restricts its growth. Avoid peanuts, peanut butter, and pistachios as they
tend to have a higher mould content. Also consider soaking other nuts in water to remove any mould on the outside (spraying
with a diluted grapefruit seed extract solution is even better).
Non-glutinous grains: Wheat
and rye are off the menu but there are other grains that you can eat. If you like toast in the morning, try millet bread instead
of your usual brand. Rice can be eaten for a Candida diet, but get brown rice or preferably wild rice. For cereal at breakfast,
try a low-sugar variety with oat bran.
Fruit needs to be eliminated from you diet if you suffer with Candida.
However, this is not all fruit. Your diet can still accommodate some papaya, pineapple, grapefruit and all types of berries.
Any Candida diet should strive to reduce or eliminate processed refined sugars and bleached flour. Eliminate meats
treated with synthetic hormones or chemicals. Eliminate hydrogenated fats (peanut butter, baked goods and margarine, etc.).
Reduce processed and refined foods as much as possible. Instead eat nutrient-rich, organic, non-processed whole foods and
plenty of fresh raw vegetables. Prepare most of your food yourself.
This diet is recommended as a guideline for
someone who has never carried out an elimination diet before. Those with mild Candida symptoms may want to try it for 3 months
to evaluate if it helps, those with severe symptoms should seek the help of a nutritionist or natural health practitioner
with a case history of success with long term Candida sufferers.
