<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #424648; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">During a lifetime each of us must
face at least one problem, negative event, or challenge, which is the word I
prefer. A challenge is defined as a call
to battle, a contest, or <u>stimulating one to overcome or face an event.<i><o:p></o:p></i></u></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 13pt;">The
challenges I have faced and overcome are divorce, abuse, untimely deaths, and
cancer. Experiencing the journey of ovarian cancer has been my most difficult
challenge. Just as everyone else when dealing with a life-changing event we go
through the five stages of grief outlined by Elisabeth Kubler-Ross:
shock/denial, depression, bargaining, anger, and acceptance.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: #424648; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">When
I heard the words “You have cancer,” I immediately felt shock, but then quickly
entered a state of depression. I do not recall doing any bargaining though I
may have done it subconsciously. My anger was expressed more in the form of
depression in short intervals. Suddenly I would feel very sad and frightened
and tears would flow. As the weeks turned to months and now years, I have come
full circle into a healthy state of acceptance.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #424648; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;"> <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #424648; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;"> There
are several healthy steps I have used to face my life’s challenges, which
helped me to move into acceptance. The first one I call is <i>LIVING EACH MOMENT</i>. Do not waste your time on things you cannot
change, but use your energy and knowledge to change the things you can. If we
live in each moment with an open heart and love, there is no room for worry,
which does not help anyone or change anything.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="color: #424648; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;"> Dr.
Wayne Dyer states, “If you change the way you look at things, the things you
look at change.” </span></blockquote>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">JOYFUL PAST-TIMES</span><span style="color: #424648; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;"> are those that bring you joy and peace. Some past-times for me are
golfing, gardening, and writing. Listening to certain types of music such as
Andrea Bocelli, Ernesto Cortazar, Il Volo, Il Divo, and any of the classical
pieces bring joy “to my soul.” <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: #424648; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">Walking
alone on a beach or in a garden helps me to connect with the beauty and majesty
of God’s creation. I love to pick up shells; to smell flowers; or to walk
barefoot on the sand or grass. They each represent the cycle of life.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">LAUGHTER</span><span style="color: #424648; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">
is such a fun way to release stress and worry. During the first few weeks after
my diagnosis I spent time watching <i>Laurel
& Hardy</i> movies, the <i>Carol Burnett
Show</i>, and <i>I Love Lucy.</i> Endorphins
are released helping to heal us.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #424648; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">As
Charlie Chaplin stated: “A day without laughter is a day wasted.”</span></blockquote>

<span style="color: #424648; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">The
gift of LOVE is a treasure that is to
be shared. It is the only thing you possess as your own. You will never run out
of it, because as you give love, you will receive love.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #424648; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;"> Treasure
and appreciate your family and friends who love you and show them your love in
return.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #424648; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;"> To
spend even a few minutes in a state of RELAXATION
AND DEEP MEDITATION provides healing to the mind, body and spirit. Find a
guided meditation tape to help quiet the busy mind. Many times I have “heard”
answers to my questions or concerns. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

my thesis in graduate school I presented the subject HEALTHY TOUCH<i>.</i> Whether you are receiving a massage, someone is
holding your hand, giving you a hug, or an arm around your shoulder the body
responds with lower blood pressure and heart rate, relaxes muscles, and
increases blood flow.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">A garden
needs pure water, sunlight, healthy soil, and lots of love in order to thrive. If we deprive our garden of the essentials of
life, it will wither and die. If we
remedy our sick garden with synthetic chemicals, it will not flourish for long.
Like a garden, a healthy body requires this very same support and attention.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Yet, it
seems healthcare these days has strayed from health care to sick care. For
every ill there is a pill. Instead of
focusing on nourishing or healing the body, doctors prescribe drugs to mask
symptoms; it’s easier and faster than working with a patient to change the quality
of their soil-- the valuable environment within the body. Long before modern medical science came into being, mankind
was dealing with illness via natural means. Many of these herbal remedies have
borne the test of time, and are still being used today. But often when
we tell our doctors we are taking supplements for our ills, we are warned of the
dangers or told that supplementation only provides “expensive pee.” They often
don’t say this out of arrogance, but ignorance. I don’t blame doctors, for they
are taught to prescribe drugs and are not educated in the innate power of
nature. Don’t get me wrong, t<span style="background: white;">here is a place for pharms in critical care, but drugs
for the long-term management of symptoms is not healthcare, it is sick care. Prescription drugs are the third leading cause
of death after heart disease and cancer-- </span>Americans are over drugged and
underserved. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

seniors are notoriously compliant. According to the American Society of
Consultant Pharmacists, “</span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma;"> While medications are probably the single most
important factor in improving the quality of life for older Americans [I completely disagree on this point—this is
only because we give the pill for the ill instead of concentrating on health],
the nation’s seniors are especially at risk for medication-related problems due
to physiological changes of aging, higher incidence of multiple chronic
diseases and conditions, and greater consumption of prescription and
over-the-counter medications.” They go
on to say that “any symptom in an elderly patient should be considered a drug
side effect until proven otherwise."<span class="apple-converted-space">

and other symptoms are Mother Nature’s way of telling is that there is

So how do we grow our garden? <o:p></o:p></h1>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>We</b> eat for life
and engage in stress-reducing activities such as exercise, yoga, meditation and
other mind-body therapies. Medical experts have long recognized the relationship
between diet and the incidence of disease, and that realistic modifications of
diet and lifestyle can significantly improve mortality. Research suggests that
85% of all medical problems are caused by stress. Stress-related symptoms range from tension
headaches and migraines to lower-back pain, frequent colds, insomnia and
hypertension, and stress contributes to cancer as well--chronic stress changes immune cell genes, leading to
inflammation. <span style="color: red;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">We</span></b><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> look within to see what is causing the ill, and we
fix it. If I were dehydrated and
suffering from the symptom of a headache, I could take an aspirin and likely
feel better. However, will that aspirin
cure my dehydration—a problem that could impact my health and very survival? No. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Thirty years ago I was suffering from debilitating knee
pain, so severe I could not stand up. The doctor told me to stop all forms of
exercise and take 600mg of ibuprofen twice daily to manage the pain, and hope
that I didn’t end up in a wheelchair (or worse, die of the remedy.) With the assistance of a far-wiser doctor I
solved the problem with nothing other than—you guessed it—targeted and
consistent exercise to support my knees—something I do to this day and my knees
are pain-free.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Keep in mind that pain’s partner is inflammation, and we now
know that most, or perhaps even all chronic diseases are the result of
inflammation. So while you may think
you are just managing pain, by reducing inflammation you are also taking a
major step in extending your life—just don’ forget to address the root of the
problem. <o:p></o:p></div>

<b><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">We</span></b><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> must also consider the repercussions of our remedy if
we are to nourish the garden.</span> If we take a toxic drug such as Tylenol or
Advil, we may get relief from a symptom, but we could be causing more
ills. <span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Several studies have shown that Tylenol damages the liver and
kidneys. <span style="background: white;">Each
year over 78,000 Americans go to the emergency room for treatment for an
acetaminophen overdose, </span>and death by overdose or accidental ingestion
causes about 450 deaths a year (Tylenol is often hidden in other pharms such as
cough medicine and prescription drugs.) </span><span style="background: white; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Yet, most
patients are told to take the drug daily and even several times daily. </span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Tylenol is often recommended for the
pain relief of osteoarthritis, but NICE (National Institute of Health and Care
Excellence) is now warning against the use of Tylenol </span><span style="background: white; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">(acetaminophen in the US and paracetamol in the UK). It warns of the
potential side effects of Tylenol and says it has “limited benefit”. When used,
it should be the “lowest effective dose” for the “shortest possible time.” In this exhaustive 600+ page </span><a href="http://www.nice.org.uk/nicemedia/live/13505/64904/64904.pdf"><span style="background: white; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">report</span></a><span style="background: white; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"> they offer holistic and other

disease, circulatory problems, gastrointestinal conditions, bleeding and/or
perforation of the gut and the intestinal tract. </span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Again, we need to turn to nature. Numerous studies have shown that curcumin
(turmeric) is at least as effective as ibuprofen and offers numerous health
benefits (</span><a href="http://www.greenmedinfo.com/substance/turmeric"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">over 600</span></a><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">).

Not sure where to start?
Seek out a Naturopathic Doctor, holistic practitioner, health coach, or
cancer coach to help you devise a plan for your specific needs and goals. If you are an internet-surfer, know that
quality, dosage and synergy matter when it comes to supplementation, so always
seek out the advice of a professional before you add supplements and before you
discontinue any medications. And by all
means, get out and get some sunshine!<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Can sound really change
your brainwaves so you feel relaxed<i>?</i> Can it create a healthy mind,
body and spirit to prevent and treat disease? Research says it can. The
benefits to be realized by controlling your brainwaves are simply astounding.
The practice in which sound wave stimuli are purposefully used to alter
brainwaves in this matter is called brain wave entrainment (BWE).<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Numerous studies indicate
that roughly 90% of all illness is linked to stress. While some
stress is actually good for us, what we are currently experiencing in our day
to day life is way too much. Chronic, persistent stress has
been shown to lead to numerous biological changes that make the body more
conducive to cancer development, growth and progression. By using
brainwave entrainment to change the state that your brain is in, you will be
better equipped to handle acute and long-term stress as well as im</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">prove quality and quantity of sleep—a lack of sleep will exacerbate the
effects of stress, and proper sleep is needed to produce much-needed
melatonin. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"> The following is a quest post from my healer, Mike Carey. Please, if you have Lyme or have been misdiagnosed with MS....please read this post.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10.0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"> It is
reported that over 300,000 people in the U.S. suffer with Lyme’s disease, and
are told that there is no cure or that they will probably be on antibiotics for
many years. However, that is neither true nor necessary. There is a
natural cure for Lyme’s disease, and probably more than one. Let me
explain:</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10.0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10.0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"> I have
been involved in alternative health for over 35 years. For nearly 18
years, I have done muscle testing using cellular memory and the electricity of
the body to determine the cause of most health problems as well as the natural
remedy. I do this by asking the body questions that can be answered “Yes” or
“no”, and the body responds electrically, allowing me to muscle test. Using
this method has also allowed me to discover the natural remedy for many
so-called “incurables”, including Herpes, Shingles, Chronic Fatigue, Hepatitis
C, Fibromyalgia, and yes, Lyme’s disease. Lyme’s disease can generally be
cured in 1-3 weeks using all natural things. Years of agony and suffering
are totally unnecessary.</span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10.0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"> I live
outside the U.S. and currently have clients in 7 or 8 different countries
throughout the world. I am able to test my clients over the telephone
because everything in the universe works by electricity and frequencies,
including your body and the telephone. In addition, frequencies travel
through the air or we wouldn’t have Radio, TV, Cell Phones, WIFI, or GPS.
I have a test sheet that covers nearly everything in your body and my
testing is extremely accurate because the body can’t lie. If you, or
someone you know, suffer with Lyme’s disease, please contact me at </span><a href="mailto:Silverwood08@gmail.com"><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif";">Silverwood08@gmail.com</span></a><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">. I charge
$75 for the testing, and this one-time fee covers all rechecks. I
normally recheck my clients once per week until all of their health issues are
cleared up. I will look forward to helping you to regain optimum health.</span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10.0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">God
Bless! Mike Carey</span><o:p></o:p></div>

Important to note that most cancers are the result of nutritional deficiencies, environmental toxins, emotional and mental stress, viruses, and yes, chronic inflammation. The following guest post is not about curing "incurable" cancers--that is a whole other topic--but know that it can be done, it is being done and you can do it. However, in my mind, most illnesses contribute to further illness, be it the illness itself or the chemical remedy. As you may remember from my previous post, <a href="http://elynjacobs.blogspot.com/2013/06/cellular-memory-and-your-health.html" style="line-height: 16.8pt;">Cellular
Memory and Your Health</a>, I suffered from debilitating pain in my hands; the inflammation was likely a precursor to my cancer. I have Mike Carey to thank for fixing what stumped conventional medical doctors. So, with great pleasure, I share this guest post-- heal well; be well.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I have been
active in Alternative Health for the past 34 years. The last 17 years have involved the practice
of Applied Kinesiology and the tapping into cellular memory to determine both
the cause of most illnesses as well as the natural remedy. This has successfully led to the development
of all-natural cures for diseases that we are told are incurable. We have been brainwashed to believe that if
we are suffering from things like <b>Herpes,
Shingles, Fibromyalgia , Lyme’s Disease, Chronic Fatigue, </b>or <b>Hepatitis C, </b> that we will just have to learn to live with
it because it is incurable. Nothing
could be farther from the truth.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> John had suffered with <b>genital herpes</b> for most of his adult life. It was not only embarrassing, but also very
limiting. It seemed that every time he
was under a little stress, lesions would appear, and it would take a week or
more for them to subside. He was
referred to me by a friend, but had doubts that anything could be done to free
him from this plague. I tested him over
the phone, which is how I test most of my clients, and was able to develop a
natural protocol that would kill the virus once and for all. In 5-7 days, he was virus free and a very
happy man. Since that time, I have used
the same protocol to cure dozens of people of this very same malady. In addition, a slight modification of this
protocol made it possible to take the pain away from <b>Shingles </b>and to cure it in the same amount of time.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> It is reported that more than 300,000 people
in the U.S. suffer from tick-born <b>Lyme’s
disease,</b> and many more have it but are not aware of what is causing their
debilitating condition. By testing
people that are suffering with it, I have been able to come up with another
all-natural protocol to eliminate it. It
is usually gone in 1-2 weeks, and is proven by follow-up medical tests. I recently helped a husband and wife who both
suffered with it, not knowing what was really causing all of their symptoms. Now, they are enjoying good health and are
very happy.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> My own daughter suffered with <b>Chronic Fatigue</b> for 8 years. No Doctor, Chiropractor, Naturopath, or
Health Practitioner could find the cause or remedy. It was then that I learned
about <b>cellular memory</b> and a way to
tap into it to determine the cause and remedy for a disease. I discovered two causes and was able to fix
both of them in two days, restoring her energy after 8 long years without any. Since that time, I have helped close to a
hundred people recover from this, so called, incurable disease.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> And then there is <b>Hepatitis C</b>. Is it really
incurable as so many have been led to believe?
The answer is a resounding “NO”!
Just ask Victor from New York, who suffered with it for over 30 years
until I put him on regimen to cure it.
Medical tests revealed that it was totally gone in less than a month. There were modifications that had to be made,
but that is part of my learning curve, and I seem to learn something from every
client.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Fibromyalgia</span></b><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> is a little different story. It is epidemic in the U.S. and in other countries
around the world. Medical science has
not been able to cure it because their only option available is to treat the
symptoms with drugs. The cause is never
dealt with, nor is it known by most doctors.
I suffered the pain of fibromyalgia for years. At one point, I could hardly drive my car
because the pain in my legs and hips was so bad. When I finally discovered the cause and the
natural remedy, it still took many weeks to recover. That was over 15 years ago. Now, I am able to help others recover from
this very painful illness.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> I firmly believe that all diseases have a
natural remedy unless there is permanent damage. While I have discovered cures for some of the
diseases, there are still other cures that need to be found. Because the body stores memory at the
cellular level and knows what is causing health problems and what will fix
them, tapping into this memory is a very valuable tool. It also seems impossible that someone could
be tested over the phone. However, when
you come to realize that everything in the universe works by electricity and
frequencies, then we begin to understand.
Both your body and the telephone work the same way, making this unique
form of testing possible. The successes
of the past 17 years have proven the validity of this method. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

think that should be included in our daily diet. Tumor cells depend on blood vessels to supply
the nutrients necessary for the tumors to grown and multiply. The apigenin in parsley blocks the formation
of new blood vessels and therefore may delay or stop the development of tumors
and will reduce the number of tumors in our body. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">MANHATTAN August 14, 2013 --
Elyn Jacobs Consulting, Incorporated has been selected for the 2013 Best of
Manhattan Award in the Health Insurance category by the Manhattan Award
Program.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Each year, the Manhattan Award
Program identifies companies that we believe have achieved exceptional
marketing success in their local community and business category. These are
local companies that enhance the positive image of small business through
service to their customers and our community. These exceptional companies help
make </span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">the Manhattan area a great place to live, work and play.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">“Elyn Jacobs Consulting is honored
to be recognized as the best in service to those with cancer or looking to
prevent cancer or its recurrence. Helping
each and every client find the path to wellness that best suits their needs is
my top priority. This would not be
possible without the incredible doctors and medical experts who dedicate their
lives to treating and healing the whole person, not just the disease of that
person,” said Elyn Jacobs. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Elyn works tirelessly to empower
people with the information they need to make the best possible choices for
their cancer via education and one-on-one coaching within the tri-state area as
well as globally via Skype. She also hosts a weekly radio show, </span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 115%;"><a href="http://elynjacobs.wordpress.com/elyns-blog/" style="font-style: italic;">Survive and Live Well</a><i> </i>to further support those looking for support and options.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 115%;"></span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">“Many people do not realize that they have
options when it comes to treatment. My
mission is to help clients find the best possible team and treatment for their
particular cancer and needs. I also know
that it is not enough to treat cancer, we want to beat cancer. This involves finding the root cause and
addressing that cause and not merely the symptom of cancer that presents. If we
do not find the cause of our cancer, we cannot cure
our cancer, “said Elyn. For more information, please visit Elyn at </span><a href="http://www.elynjacobs.wordpress.com/" style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Elyn Jacobs Consulting Inc</a><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Various sources of information
were gathered and analyzed to choose the winners in each category. The 2013
Manhattan Award Program focuses on quality, not quantity. Winners are
determined based on the information gathered both internally by the Manhattan
Award Program and data provided by third parties.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">It seems in the past few years
it is all the rage to load up on Omega 3’s,
especially in the form of fish and krill oils.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I know I’ve
done it. Our doctors recommend it; we read about it in health magazines and on
the news.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Could we be misinformed?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> <em> </em></span><em>Is it possible that finance is masquerading
as science?</em><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Professor Brian Peskin was
guest on my radio show, </span><a href="http://elynjacobs.wordpress.com/elyns-blog/"><span style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: inherit;">Survive and Live Well</span></span></a><span style="font-family: inherit;">.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He used that phase during the show, and I thought wow, he has a good point. I
often wonder how many “miracle” solutions are based not on science, but yet are
embraced by the community and before long, are accepted without question until
well, someone comes along with the science to unveil the truth.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Well Peskin has done just that.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

(and krill oil) does not work in clinical practice (despite most everyone
saying they do).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sometimes, ingrained
beliefs, even those without scientific foundation, are hard to change. As has
occurred with many other nutritional supplements once in the limelight, there
is little, if any, scientific validity to fish oil and krill oil’s miraculous
claims. It is simply another case of “<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">finance
masquerading as science”</b>— in this case, developing new markets for fish —
and of medicine’s long history of mistakes and wrong recommendations. Making
money is fine when you truly help people, but not when you harm them, even
unknowingly. Results consisting of <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">mere
“associations,” and “studies“ conducted without valid experiments in which only
one variable is changed at a time are meaningless</b>. That’s why the
recommendations from most “studies” are later reversed and withdrawn, which
leaves the lay public confuse</span></span></i></a><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-bookmark: pid16371696;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">d." </span></span><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Professor Brian Peskin </span></i></span><a href="http://brianpeskin.com/BP.com/about/PeskinPrimer.pdf"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Calibri;">http://brianpeskin.com/BP.com/about/PeskinPrimer.pdf</span></span></a><br />

someone can profit off the sales, there is not money for research and trials. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Of course, even with foods such as broccoli, finance
does jump in as we can now buy broccoli supplements.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And then of course, we often have Big Pharma
wanting a piece of it and as they try to patent food or take over the
supplement companies. Sometimes we have to use common sense; if something is

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">What is Cellular Memory? Cellular
memory is a library storehouse of everything that has ever happened to you in
your life. Applied k</span><span lang="EN" style="color: #282828; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">inesiology muscle testing is a technique discovered and
used thousands of years ago by Native American Indians. It allows healers to
tap in and discover anything about ourselves, on a physical, emotional or
energetic level, or to tap into the subconscious mind right down to a cellular
level. Cellular memory and the electricity of the body can be used </span><span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">to determine the cause
and the natural remedy for many chronic diseases.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Asking the body questions is a
way of accessing that memory. It can be done verbally, or by just
thinking the question, because thoughts are a frequency as well as voice, and
frequencies travel through the air or over the phone line. The body
responds to the frequency of the question and it also responds to the frequency
of the products used to correct the health problem. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">

<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">A healer can also test everything
that people are taking to determine if it is good for them, or if their body
really needs it. People have a tendency to go to the health food store
and use the shotgun approach. They think that if they take enough things,
they will eventually get something that their body needs or that will fix their
problems. What they don't realize is that if you put something into your
body that it doesn't want or need, it has a negative impact (even though it may
be a good product) because the body has to determine what to do with it, and it
takes positive energy away from the body.<span style="color: black;"> (Thank

<span style="color: black; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><em>If a healer can tell
me what is out of balance or “sick” in my body, and he can tell me the foods
and supplements that can help or hurt me, then I might be able to correct the
deficiencies in my body that contribute to ill health and cancer.<o:p></o:p></em></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">I
decided to try this out. I was introduced to Mike Carey. Mike has been active
in alternative health for 34 years and </span><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">learned how
to do muscle testing (applied kinesiology), initially using the acupuncture
points on the body, a system that was developed by a Dr. Versendahl. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">

<span style="color: black; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Mike told me that I
had heavy metal toxicity (specifically mercury, aluminum and fluoride), <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>told me the remedy, and also explained why my
previous efforts to test for and remove these metals failed. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was also surprised to learn that while I am
not overly exposed to these toxins now, likely they have been lurking within
for most of my life. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am also told this
was a major contributor to my cancer. He told me that the “carpel” or “arthritis”
I suffer from in my left hand is actually pain coming from my left ankle,
something a chiropractor or physical therapist can correct, and also told me of
a tincture or tea that will help with the occipital bone that needs some work
to correct this problem.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A two-fold
problem, I am told, but as I am eager to remove the inflammation, I soak up the
explanation. We talked about positive energy; and no, this is not the same
thing as “being positive”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He explained
to me how to correct the energy deficiencies.</span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"></span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">I am excited as I know that if
you do not address the causes of illness, you cannot hope for a cure, only
bandaids for continued sickness or recurrence. I will be working on these
issues with Mike and he will be guest on my show in the fall when we discuss the
details and my progress.</span><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"> <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I will also be posting some of my interim
progress on Facebook.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

testing for over 30 years. For the past 17 years, I have used cellular memory
and the electricity of the body to determine the cause and the natural remedy
for many illnesses including Diabetes, Eczema, Herpes, Hepatitis C, <br />
Chronic Fatigue, Fibromyalgia, Parkinson's, and many others. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><br />
</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"> My youngest
daughter had chronic fatigue from the age of 8 until she was 16. She had
no energy to do the normal things that children do. I had her to many
doctors, naturopaths, and other health professionals and no one could find the
cause or the remedy. It was then that I learned about cellular
memory and the way to tap into it. Medical science had determined,
through doing transplants, that the memory passes at the cellular level, and
that every cell in your body knows everything that has ever happened to you in
your life. People getting a new organ would often find themselves craving
the same food, or even loving the same person as the one they got the
organ from. I found out that you can tap into that memory by asking the
body questions that can be answered "yes" or "no", and the
body will respond electrically which can then be understood through muscle
testing. I immediately tried this with my daughter, and discovered two
problems that were the cause of her chronic fatigue. I was able to fix both
problems, and in two days all of her energy came back ~after 8 years.
That made me a believer in this method and I have been using it very
successfully since that time.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">As to how it works, it is a mystery. I believe that it has to do with a
science of communication that we don't yet understand or haven't yet
discovered. I think it probably involves particle physics and
quantum mechanics, but I just don't know. I do know that it works, and is
extremely accurate. Testing over the phone is another mystery, however,
the phone works on electronics, and it is all based on frequencies, so I can
partially understand that. Frequencies travel through the air, or we
wouldn't have radio or TV. It is the same principle. I do know that
it is not spiritual because I am a licensed Christian pastor and wouldn't do
anything that was not of God. In addition, I use it to heal people, and
the enemy isn't in that business.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have a check list that I go through with
each person. The list covers nearly everything in the body, including
structure and emotions. When I find a problem, I want to know how bad it
is, on a scale of 1-10, with 1 being the least and 10 being the worst. I
also check the overall immune system to see how hard it is working. With
these two numbers, I have a way to check and double check if a particular
remedy will work or not. The nice thing about this is that
I don't have to guess about anything. The body tells me exactly what the
problem is and what natural remedy will fix it. I just have to ask the
right questions. Over the past 17 years, I have cured people of most
of the common maladies that we are facing in our world, including Cancer,
Diabetes, Parkinson's, Fibromyalgia, Arthritis, Eczema, Herpes, Shingles,
Hepatitis C and more. I do this by finding and eliminating the
cause of the problem, not just treating the symptoms as we are accustomed to.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">I
even cured a man of blindness. He had been blind for 3 months with
macular degeneration. I tested him over the phone, found the cause and
the remedy, and in two weeks he got his sight back. What I do is a gift
from God. I have tried to teach other health professionals, but they just
can't do it, so it has to be a gift. I thank the Lord for it every
day. I also practice this with myself and my family, and it shows.
We are very healthy and stay that way. I am 71, but feel 51.
I play tennis 3 times per week and can do 20 pushups. That is
incredible in itself.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Everything
has a cause. I find the cause and eliminate it naturally, which allows the
immune system to work normally and heal the body. This is a unique
approach that is the opposite of treating symptoms with drugs, or
surgery. The testing method is weird, but it works. There are
machines now that do nearly the same kind of testing. The personal touch
is best, however.</span><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Healing with music is far from a new idea.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Every civilization in history has used music
to heal and cure. However, now we actually have science that explains and proves
this.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Music changes the speed at which your brain waves vibrate, which
in turn produces different neurochemicals. Your brain’s flexibility helps
you create long-term change and even target those changes to specific tasks and
goals. If you can trick your brain into producing more of that blood chemistry
to bring you up or down, you can actually train it to respond to stressful
situations better.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For example, to
rewire your brain to relax, you can play nature sounds that calm you, which can
be helpful in situations like driving in heavy traffic.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">You can also play songs that energize you; songs you exercise to or play before you go out for the night that really
pump you up. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Music can help you to relax, energize or help you sleep; you
can use the power of sound to fine tune brainwaves so the body re-balances
itself. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">For the greatest benefit, pay attention of the music
actively with headphones rather than having it play in the background.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Live concerts intensify music’s effects the
most.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s not just the visual effect of
seeing the emotions of the musicians, but also the vibrations.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Consider how you “feel” the music in your
belly when the music is so intense with vibrations.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Headphones will help you to recreate this
activity.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Oncologists are now recommending sound as medicine; or
should I say prescribing it to enhance medicine. To boost the efficacy of treatment we need to improve sleep
and reduce stress.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Cancer treatment can
also zap our energy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Regardless of the
path taken for our cancer, music can heal.</span><br />

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">There is no doubt that being a cancer patient is
overwhelming at best.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However, we often
overlook the toll it takes on our loved ones, our caregivers. The following is
a guest post by Theresa Conti.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She
shares with us some advice for caregiving.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><o:p><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Finding
balance between caring for the needs of your loved one and the needs of
yourself may feel like a daunting task. You may feel weighed down with responsibility,
and not know where to turn for help or support, or watch as your resources
dwindle (emotional, physical, and financial!) and wonder what to make it of
all. But don’t despair! There is a solution and it starts with self-care.</span></span></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Taking time
to replenish yourself may seem like a luxury you can ill afford. Yet the
investment will be well worth your while and the dividends you receive will
keep you feeling energized and smiling. Good medicine for you and the ones for
whom you care.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">

simple steps will revolutionize your life and put a little zest in your

<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Breathing is simple, yet something we often forget to do when
under stress. Holding our breath disrupts our body’s natural rhythm, and when
chronic, creates physical, mental and emotional tension. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 1in;">

<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">This following exercise will help to reduce stress and get you
back in the flow. But don’t take my word for it. Try it for a month and see for
yourself.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">To implement, pick an activity you do throughout the day, such as
answer the telephone, and use it as a reminder to stop and take note of your
breathing. Note if your breath is deep and flowing or short and shallow, and if
there is anyplace in your body where you are feeling tight or tense. Next, take
three slow deep breaths. Consciously feel your breath as it moves in through
your nostrils and out through your mouth. When done, take note of how you
feel.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Best of all – breathing is free
and can be done anywhere!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Take time once a week to go on a dream date. Yes, yes, I know.
Taking time for yourself may seem impossible, but even an hour or two once a
week will serve to replenish and energize you. Don’t know what to do? Make a
list of things you like to do (or used to!), then block time out in your
calendar once a week just for you and do them!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Blocking out time for yourself will bolster your emotional bank account,
and leave plenty left over to share! (Note: No work or errands allowed!)</span></div>

with yourself and others about what you can and cannot do. Saying “no” or
settling limits on how much you can give may feel uncomfortable. However, it
also provides an opportunity to heal and grow. (Need some help? Try reading <u>When
I Say No, I Feel Guilty</u> by Manuel J. Smith, Ph.D.)</span><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><o:p> </o:p></span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">When cancer
comes into your life, things get very real very fast. It’s shocking to be on
the roller coaster of making decisions, wondering why it happened to you,
dealing with all the details of life so that you can have treatment, and all
the stuff of life. Underneath that, there’s the very real experience of what
matters in life and what doesn’t. You know this.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Something
that gets talked about mostly on the surface level is the impact of diagnosis
and treatment on you as a woman. In addition to making choices that will keep
us healthy during and after treatment, sexual health gets a nod at best. And
the decisions we make about treatment can have an enormous impact on our sexual
life ~ libido, medical menopause that may be permanent, loss of pleasure, fertility,
to name a few. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Here’s the
rub ~ if we don’t know about these consequences of treatment it’s really
challenging to factor them into treatment decisions. If you haven’t had
children and want to retain that possibility, there are things to consider before
treatment begins. After treatment it’s too late. This is heart wrenching.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">The good
news is that many of the changes to sexual function that result from treatment,
can be remedied. It’s sobering that many women tell me that their sex life
wasn’t so great before cancer, and wonder if it’s worth doing something about
it after cancer. Really? I’m not so sure about this. I think it’s really about
the sadness, grief and fear that comes along for the ride, and not having
resources to support you on this part of the cancer journey. Rather than ending
our experience of ourselves a beautiful, desirable and sexy, cancer can be the
catalyst for getting real about the true nature of being a woman and getting
beyond our limiting thoughts about ourselves. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">As a firm
believer in living a good life, including wonderful intimacy and sexuality,
I’ve been researching, learning and teaching about this for years ~ borne out
of my own necessity, and unwillingness to not have a great sex life after
cancer. We all have many archetypes in us and I’m the Wake-Up Fairy for your
Inner Aphrodite. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">

Center, one of the most important things we do is match our patients with a
mesothelioma specialist. But we don’t just randomly pair people with any health
care professional. Our patient advocates consider multiple personal and
diagnosis-related factors to make sure patients are getting the best care for
their individual case.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i>Facility Factors –
</i></b><span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">First and foremost, our
Medical Outreach Director visits each facility to learn about how they operate.
We ask questions like: <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -0.25in;">

technology do they have? <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<br />

<br />
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt 0.5in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -0.25in;">
<span style="font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-style: italic; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">·<span style="font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 7pt/normal "Times New Roman";">
</span></span></span><span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">What
does the facility do to set itself apart from other centers? <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Once we know the
ins and outs of how each facility works with its patients, we can make
personalized recommendations that we feel comfortable standing behind. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i>Doctor Specialties
– </i></b><span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">Even if the facility is
nationally recognized for mesothelioma care, they may not have a doctor who
specializes in each subtype of the disease. For instance, some centers have
pleural mesothelioma specialists, but not peritoneal mesothelioma specialists. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">We know how
important it is for people to work with a </span></span><a href="http://www.asbestos.com/treatment/doctors/"><span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Calibri;">confident, experienced doctor</span></span></a><span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">. That’s why our advocates make sure to match patients with surgeons
and oncologists who know who to best treat their specific diagnosis.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i>Patient’s
Diagnosis – </i></b><span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">On a similar note,
we consider a wide range of variables related to the patient’s diagnosis. We
try to</span> match patients based on the stage and location of their cancer,
the tumor cell subtype, and their overall health. Some treatment centers
specialize in </span><a href="http://www.asbestos.com/mesothelioma/staging.php"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Calibri;">early
stage mesothelioma</span></a><span style="font-family: Calibri;">, while others specialize in certain subtypes of the
cancer. Some patients may like to know how to </span><a href="http://www.asbestos.com/mesothelioma/prognosis.php"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Calibri;">improve their
prognosis</span></a><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> after their diagnosis. Our goal is to help patients get the most
individualized care for their unique situation. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i>Patient’s
Preferences and Resources – </i></b><span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">We
know that the best doctor for a patient may not be in their city – or even
their state. But we also know that most patients can’t simply uproot themselves
from their families and daily responsibilities to travel across the country for
medical care. That’s why we match patients with doctors that are as close to
their geographical region as possible. We also help arrange travel services and
grants (often on a free or reduced fare) for patients who do need to commute to
their specialist.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">We also understand
that patients may not wish to use conventional medicine or current practices.
That’s why we also match patients with clinical trials and offer information on
</span></span><a href="http://nccam.nih.gov/"><span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Calibri;">complementary
and alternative medicine (CAM)</span></span></a><span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">.
The clinical trials provide access to innovative, not-yet-available treatments
that researchers hope will be the next big thing in mesothelioma treatment. And
CAM therapies can offer relief for patients whether they elect traditional
treatment or take an all-natural approach. Each patient has their own path, and
we do our best to support them along the way.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

epiphany: Families like ours – two teens, mom diagnosed with breast cancer –
need help.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">But that is not the truth. In 2001,
our family muddled through Marsha’s months of cancer treatment. It never
occurred to any of us that our kids might need help coping.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Then, a few years later, our dear
friend Anna Gottlieb, the founder and director of Gilda’s Club Seattle, called
me to share some essays from the group’s annual essay contest: “It’s Always
Something.” Teens are invited to write about how they’ve been “touched by
cancer.” Many of them wrote about a parent’s cancer with intense feelings that
defy the stereotype of the sullen, uncommunicative teen.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“This has to be your next book,”
Anna said.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"> She was right. But it took a
bit of doing. I soon realized that I needed a co-author who had in fact faced a
parent’s cancer as a teen. Our older daughter Maya is a phenomenal writer --
creative writing was her major at Oberlin, where she earned the Diane Vreul's
Fiction Prize in 2008. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

My mom's cancer is something I never fully dealt with. Even in my early 20s, it
was a topic I didn't like talking about. Pouring myself into a book project
about it would not only require me to confront the experience head-on, but to
live, breathe and dream about cancer as we spent months in research,
interviews, writing and editing. On the flip side, I knew that there was a gap
in resources for teens dealing with a parent's cancer. I understood that a book
like this probably would have helped my sister and me. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">

We
realized that the book needed to reach out to teens, but we also knew that
parents would probably be the ones to buy the book. So the main narrative would
be aimed at teens, but there would be a special section of advice for poor,
beleaguered mom and dad.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Many publishers passed on the idea.
They didn’t “get it.” Is this a health book? A young adult book? What kind of
book is it?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"> <b>Maya: </b>Our answer
always was: It’s a book that is sorely needed. A study published in the journal<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> Cancer</i> states that nearly three million
U.S. kids live with a parent who’s a cancer survivor, and about a third of the
kids are teens. Yet there are very few resources for this 12-19 demographic. As
we found out when we put together our proposal, teens in particular need a lot
of help coping. They’re at a stage when they’re separating from the family,
striking out on their own. Suddenly, mom or dad’s cancer diagnosis pulls them
back to the family. The result: A teen who may be resentful, who may hate being
looked at with “pity eyes” by friends at school, who has to deal with problems
far more pressing than those of friends who worry about break-ups and
break-outs and buying the latest video game.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

and the editorial staff at Sourcebooks understood why this book is an important
addition to cancer literature. And so we began our year of intense work on the
project, interviewing some 100 teens, parents as well, and many mental health
experts. We hope the book can serve as a support group for teens who don’t have
anyone to turn to. We want teens to know that what they’re feeling is probably
normal. It’s normal to worry still about who’s going to drive you to the prom.
It’s normal to be embarrassed by a parent who’s bald from chemotherapy. It’s
normal to have a closer relationship with one parent than the other, and to
secretly wish that the other parent was the one with cancer.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

high does, a small number of people will experience a slight “tailing off” in

single extract alone.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>(JHS Natural
Products).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When using mushroom extracts
for preventive immune support they can be used at a lower dose as compared to
use for immune challenges, so the “tailing off” is not experienced.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The best choice over the long term may be to
rotate between two different mushroom extracts, using one extract at a time,
and then rotating to a different extract every six months.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Even though the “tailing off” is not
experienced at lower doses, it may be best to keep coming at the immune system
from different directions, changing up the protocol to keep it fresh.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That said, this is all a very individual
choice and I have had good luck with using maitake and shitake first and then

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-bidi-font-style: italic;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">In my post </span><a href="http://elynjacobs.wordpress.com/2013/02/14/chia-seed-the-new-superfood/"><span style="color: #0088cc; font-family: Calibri;">Chia
Seed: The New Superfood</span></a><span style="font-family: Calibri;">, I spoke of the virtues of chia and flax
seeds.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However, I really should have
included hemp seeds, another fabulous super-food.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Hemp seeds are not only a complete protein (like
flax), but they also contain Vitamin E, fiber, iron, zinc, carotene, and plenty of other
vitamins and minerals; they also have a good balance of Omega fats and contain
GLA, both of which help reduce inflammation. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Eating hemp may also boost the immune system.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One more thing…unlike flax and chia, hemp is
not actually a seed (it’s a fruit) and does not contain </span><a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8777015"><span style="color: #0088cc; font-family: Calibri;">phytic acid</span></a><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> (that pesky
anti-nutrient found in wheat, nuts, etc. that prevents us from absorbing
minerals).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And no, for better or for
worse, hemp seeds will not make you “high”. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Try them in cereal, smoothies and oatmeal; eat
them in good health.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Okay, truth be told, this post is not on brain tumors.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Well it is, sort of, but it is about my own
personal fear; <em>one</em> of the reasons I do what I do—advocate for others.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">In 2007 I had a bilateral mastectomy for breast cancer; I lost
my mother to breast cancer; my sister was diagnosed with breast cancer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>All of this had a significant impact on my
life—to say the least.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But, the most
noteworthy experience that year was the severe and life-threatening asthma
attack that my then five year old experienced.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I spent five nights in the PICU with him; had<em> </em>I not been persistent,
I would not have had the pleasure of residing at New York Presbyterian
Hospital.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>While I realize this is not a
coveted vacation destination, had I listened to the pediatrician I rushed my
son to that first fateful day, likely I would not have him.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span>My son had not been feeling well-- seemed
nothing more than seasonal allergies; but for someone with a child who has
asthma, I was on high alert<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></i>We had gone to my parents beach house to
enjoy the early fall weather, but during the night, I became aware that my son
was not breathing right.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I gave him his
nebulizer repeatedly with no relief.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In the
morning I called our pediatrician.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She suggested
I either come right in to see her or consult a local pedi.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Afraid to drive with a child in that
condition, I took him to a local.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">That</i> pediatrician said he was fine and
sent us on our way.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I called our pedi
and told her that my gut says all is NOT fine.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>She said she trusted me as mom—that my gut was powerful.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She said I should drive back NOW and in case things got worse, gave me the name of the only “on the way” hospital she would trust. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We made it to NYP and were seen
immediately; our pedi had called ahead
and they were ready for us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Despite all
efforts, breathing could not be stabilized; our son was admitted.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Turns out, he had a rare virus that was
complicating matters; something that had gone undetected over the course of a
few days there, but with the persistence of our team, was treated sucessfully. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>(Why, you ask didn’t
we go to the local hospital?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Well, they
do not have a pedes ward and the wait is extensive…far longer than the drive
back to NYP—2 hours—btw, did you know that you can request ambulance transport
to your hospital once you are stabilized locally?)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Fast forward a year.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Son gets in a minor bike accident-flew off his bike and hit a roadside
boulder.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Bleeding profusely from his forehead
(helmet slid up but did protect him from his direct hit back of the head from a
neighboring boulder), we headed to the ER.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>After hours there (yes, should have driven back to the city but the
bleeding sent me local—big mistake), his energy was spent, and post
adrenaline-- he was tired; we were told he was not responding and needed a CT
scan—this “proclamation” was made not by a doctor, but by a PA.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Needless to say, our pedi was irate that we
had subjected him to this radiation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She
explained that the hospital was not equipped to handle the unlikely negative results
and that in my emotional state, took advantage of me and ordered the test.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My son was just tired from the ordeal and the
late hour, simple as that. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Everyone needs an advocate; we are all far too
emotional to be expected to stand up for ourselves at the time we most need to
do it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I wish I knew then what I know
now; most CT scans are unnecessary and use of one must be rationally
evaluated.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 12pt; margin: 2.25pt 0in 7.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">“</span><span lang="EN" style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Sometimes kids don't need a
scan at all. They just need to be watched in a safe setting. One study showed

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Juicing is all the rage, and for good reason.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Juicing is a great way to get those much
needed 8-10 daily servings of fruits and vegetables that we all too often find
hard to consume.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When I was diagnosed 6
years ago, my oncologist recommended juicing, said it is very healing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Some therapies, such as the Gerson therapy,
use juicing as a major component for healing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>For most, however, juicing is just an easy way to meet those daily
requirements.<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><o:p></o:p></i></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Tried it; don’t like it?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Try a different juice; we all prefer some vegetables more than others,
and even find that some vegetables we love, we do not love in our juice.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For me it is beets and cabbage; love to eat
them, do not care for them in juice.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Or
maybe try a juice bar….there one can find some amazing combinations that are
just as delicious as healthy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Think buying juice is expensive or decadent? I used to think
so too…but shell out several hundred dollars for the juicer, tons for the
organic produce, and spend copious amounts of time prepping, juicing and
cleaning up, and you have yourself a bargain.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I still make my own occasionally, but mostly, I go to Iggy’s.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Iggy’s is a juice bar run by Ignacio Carrera,
located within Vitahealth, a small apothecary where I get all my prescriptions,
supplements, and a tremendous amount of advice.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>And speaking of Iggy’s, you won’t find conventional produce there like
you will in the trendy fad joints.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If
your juice bar claims that they use organic and local produce, you can be sure
that they are using conventional most of the time, at your expense.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Make sure they use 100% organic produce. Do
your research, ask questions.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> <em> </em></span><em>To
Juice or not to Juice, that is the question<o:p></o:p></em></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">What I don’t suggest, is going on a fad diet where you only
drink juice…especially if you are like me—no food, no mojo (and very cranky)
and the toxic blood sugar rushes are not good for anyone. So drink your juice,
between meals or with meals, or at least add some protein powder if your juice
is to be your meal.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Juice cleanse for a
day, okay, but not as a diet.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And
remember, limit your fruit juicing as it creates a concentrated source of sugar
(carrot juice will do the same).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am
not one to say no fresh orange or pineapple juice, just be sure to have it with
a meal that contains fat, protein and/or fiber, all of which will slow the
reaction. And, you shouldn’t count on juicing as your sole source of fruits and
vegetables as you do lose the fiber as well as the skin, which is full of
essential nutrients.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>(Remember, if you
want to regain some of the lost fiber, you can add it to your muffin batter or
stir it into your soup.) <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Also, the jury is still out on juicing raw crucifers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Some feel that they contribute to thyroid
problems, others disagree.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However, a
daily juice should not pose any issues, and if you vary your juices, all the
better.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Still not sold?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You
can pack some serious servings in smoothies. I like to make one with an large
handful of broccoli sprouts, one avocado, some superfood powers and some water
or almond milk; you can also do this with baby spinach or other greens, but I find
the sprouts mix in really well and do not make the smoothie bitter.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Experiment with your own;<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Iggy makes a fantastic one he calls the
Incredible Hulk…pretty funny, but it’s made with juiced cucumber and celery as
a base, with kale, spinach and chard, a banana and some protein power mixed
in.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">So, if you happen to live or traffic on the UES of
Manhattan, stop in and say hello to Iggy; order Iggy’s Greens or a Hulk.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Oh, and don’t forget to ask Iggy to do a
magic trick for you….the kids really look forward to it!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And you may even find that juicing encourages
you and your kids to eat more fruits and veges.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Also, check out Iggy in </span><a href="http://diaryofasocialgal.com/2012/05/16/n-y-see-2/"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Calibri;">Diary of a Social
Gal.</span></a><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That’s Iggy, upper right
corner, but scroll down, and you will see One Lucky Duck…scroll down once more
and you will see Iggy in his juice bar, at the Vitahealth Apothecary.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">A lovely lady emailed me yesterday asking if I could help
her out.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She is offering her coaching
services at a price you cannot beat as part of the requirements for
certification.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Please see below for
details.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Have you
completed treatment and are looking to make some changes towards a healthier
lifestyle? There is a current opportunity to have your very own
Integrative Health Coach to support you as you explore moving towards health.
An Integrative Health Coach is completing her coaching requirements at
Duke Integrative Medicine's Professional Health Coaching Program and has opened
up time to spend with you over the next couple of months. Coaching
usually involves an initial session which is between one and two hours and then
7 follow up weekly sessions for about a half hour to help you keep on track.
There is a minimal fee of $5/hour required to get credit for the coaching
hours. The first few to respond can have a partner in their journey to
health. Please contact Coleen at </span><a href="mailto:coleenbeddeo@hotmail.com"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">coleenbeddeo@hotmail.com</span></span></a><span style="font-family: Calibri;">
to find out the details if you are interested. All coaching is done over
the telephone so it is easy to accommodate in your busy schedule!</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"></span></span> </div>
<span style="font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Many people struggle with finding their "new normal" after cancer treatment--or just with getting on with their lives. Working with a coach can help.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"></span> </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
Why, you ask would I recommend a coach to you when I am also coach? Because I truly see the difference a coach can make; I want to see her succeed and I want to see you succeed in your journey for wellness. <br />
