Although some people may be willing to experiment with urine soaks, most people would prefer an affordable hand cream with urea included.
When urea is included in skin cream, it serves as a marvelous epidermal protector. The most prestigious dermatology research journal in the world is The Journal of Investigative Dermatology. A study published in this journal in June, 2012, revealed that urea improves the barrier function of the skin and regulates gene activity in the skin to improve its antimicrobial defenses. That makes the skin more resistant to infection and other attacks. The urea used in cosmetics and skin creams is not extracted from urine but is manufactured in a modern facility.
I started soaking my feet in my own urine and WOW! It cleared up the callouses and thickened soles as well as the toe nail fungus. Just thought you would want to know.

"I remember my grandma saying she peed on her hands when they were dry and cracking. She would pee in a jar and then pour it over her hands. I have heard about urine for along time but never seen it published."
Kandy
"I am 76 years old and my grandmother always told us grandkids to 'go pee on it' whenever we came through the farmhouse door with a new scratch or cut. She was far too busy in the kitchen cooking and baking on the old wood stove for the men due in from the hayfields to worry about little cuts or scratches. Bless her. She had the answer way back then."
Leola
"I have suffered with smelly and sweaty feet for years. I have tried many creams, ointments, oils, foot baths and you name it. I would put on a pair of brand new shoes and 30 min. later, look out!
"I could never take my shoes off in public. The odor could clear a large room out. People, even my friends, would place a finger underneath their nostrils and even constantly spray cologne into the air!
"It was so hurtful! I prayed without ceasing because I know that I am not the only one with foot odor. I Googled smelly feet & stumbled upon your article.
"Check this out--I soaked my feet in urine for 30 min: 'ODOR-FREE FEET'. Thank you, and thank God for answering my prayers! Feet still sweat but NO ODOR!

"Okay, I do have to join the conversation. I am over 60 yrs of age. I developed a dark gray "something" on my large toenail on my left foot. I had been doing aerobic exercising in a pool with a group of people and wondered if I 'caught' something from that. I guess I will never know.
"The main thing here is that I had read that a reader said he had that same type of problem and that using urine in the shower would be very helpful. I did not try that right away but used your suggestion of Listerine. It was helpful (for a while). The darkness started to come again in about a year or a little more and I remembered the other story and bit the bullet and tried urine on the toenail in the shower.
"Honestly, the urine made everything change, go away, and hurrah, healthy toenail again. It was not as gross as one may think and so easy, even for a woman. We shouldn't be so squeamish about trying something really simple and harmless, anyway."

Giants Bones Found

Numbers 13:33 There we saw the GIANTS (the descendants of Anak came from the GIANTS); and we were like grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we were in their sight." (King James Version)


Scientists keep finding proof of biblical stories!

These things I have spoken to you, so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage, I have overcome the world.

Urine Therapy

Heared about UT on Dr. Oz so check out what it was about; interesting but would you try it?
The commonly-asked question, "If your urine is so good for you, why does your body excrete it?" is best answered by looking into how our kidneys function. As your blood moves through the circulatory system, it flows through the kidneys at a rate of about 1200 ml of blood per minute. Inside the kidneys, the blood is continuously filtered through a huge system of minute tubules called nephron which sift out excess water, vitamins, minerals, enzymes, salts, and hundreds of other elements including vital antibodies, urea and uric acid.
Your kidneys aren't doing damage to your body by getting rid of particular excess nutrients, they're just simply excreting the precise amount not presently needed by your body at a given time. And the same goes for practically every nutrient, enzyme, hormone, antibody, etc. that are critical to your survival -- the kidneys keep what your body needs at a certain time, and excretes what it isn't momentarily using into your urine.
Despite what the public has been led to believe about urine, pharmaceutical companies have grossed billions of dollars from the sale of drugs made from urine constituents. Pergonal, a fertility drug made from human urine, earned a reported $855 million in sales in 1992, and sales ($1400 a month per patient) have increased yearly. Urokinase, a urine ingredient, is used in drug form and sold as a "miracle blood clot dissolver" for unblocking coronary arteries. Urea, medically proven to be one of the best moisturizers in the world has been a boon to cosmetic companies who package it in expensive, glamorized creams and lotions. Ever used Murine ear drops? They're made from carbamide -- another name for synthetic urea. Precautions are taken to ensure the purity and quality of the urine. The first urine of the day and the mid-stream urine is the best sample. Before collecting the sample, it is necessary to wash the genital area thoroughly. After taking the urine into the body, individuals should refrain from eating anything for at least half an hour. Urine can be used internally or applied externally. For internal use, it is necessary to collect the morning’s first sample. A sterile container is used, and with a dropper the patient places anywhere between 5-10 drops under his tongue. The usual system is to use 1-5 drops on the first day, followed by 5-10 drops on the second day, 5-10 drops on the morning of the third day and 5-10 drops on the evening of the third day.
For external application, new or old urine can be used. Since older urine has a higher concentration of ammonia, it is more effective against skin diseases and rashes. To make the urine old, it should be stored in a dark bottle and closed tightly and kept away from the sun for 3-4 days. A small amount of the solution is applied directly on the skin. It can also be sprayed on the skin or added to skin lotions, cream or moisturizers. Doctors advise against the use of soap immediately after applying urine on the skin.
Treatment
1. Drinking. The mid stream of the first morning urine is taken. Begin with two-three ounces and increase it to your personal, comfortable level. Take a very clean glass. In the morning, right after getting up, try to urinate in three steps. That may sound somewhat silly, but it is meant quite seriously. The first urine to pass through the urethra cleans the passageway thoroughly. You should not collect these expelled substances. Pause briefly, position the glass, and let the urine pour in. When the glass is full, pause again. Set the glass aside and empty your bladder completely. This remaining urine does not contain many useful substances, and therefore you needn't collect it. It only would increase the amount of fluid you drink. What you have collected is the so-called morning midstream urine. This is the purest and richest urine of the day.
2. Fasts. Fasts with urine and water are practiced for one or more days. J.W.Armstrong, a renowned urine therapist from England, lets his patients fast for up to 45 days. Fasts are only recommend under trained, medical supervision.
3. Enemas. The easiest way to take an enema is with a syringe containing two-three ounces of urine. The urine is kept in the colon for as long as possible.
4. Gargle. Urine is kept in the mouth 20-30 minutes, or as long as possible, for gum problems and other lesions of the mouth and tongue.
5. Douche. For any vaginal discomfort or cleansing, a solution of Golden Seal and urine will give comfort and healing.
6. Eye and ear drops. Any pain, burning and tiredness in the eyes may get relief with a few drops of urine placed into the eyes. The ears also benefit greatly if receiving a few urine drops for ear pain and discomfort.
7. Urine sniffing. This is the most effective way of treatment for any sinus congestion and upper respiratory problems.
8. External application of urine upon any injury or wounds arising out of cuts or burns gives instant relief and the wounds get dried and healed soon. Even the marks of the wounds would not remain on the body ! Hidden injury due to sprain or swelling in any part of the body gets cured by Shivambu.
9. U. T. Treatment is very effective in counteracting the venom of snake, scorpion, poison due to mad-dog's bite or intoxicating influence of opium, brown sugar and other nasty drugs. It's the most harmless yet powerful detoxifying agent for drug addicts. The drug addicts can't afford to remain ignorant about the most beneficial use of Shivambu for detoxifying their brain, body and whole system by this simple yet most effective therapy !!
Urine-Therapy: It May Save Your Life, morning urine is the richest and best urine to drink. This is partially due to the greater level of hormonal secretion that takes place in the late night hours when the body is totally relaxed and repairing itself. She offers some further advice for the novice uring drinker: "Saying 'thank you' to your body just before drinking urine will help you to realize the value of this golden liquid. Your body produced it for you.
Method of massage with old Urine
Like old wine, old urine is precious for massage and outward applications. (Not for drinking) In order to get rid of chronic incurable diseases of cancer, asthma, leprosy, arthritis and incurable skin diseases doing massage with old urine systematically along with Shivambu fasting helps considerably in early recovery. As the urine which enters the body through the pores detoxifies the possible toxins of our body and helps in early recovery. Massage should be done with light hand like anointing all over the body from head to feet for minimum one hour daily. If it is done twice a day still better.
For this purpose you have to arrange 7 clean bottles having half litre capacity putting labels of 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 number. First day collect urine in bottle no. 1 which will be used for massage on the 7th day. Thus fill seven bottles in seven days. When old urine is not available, in the mean time fresh urine can also be used for massage and outward application. If the urine collected in the bottles becomes several months old it will not be spoilt, but its efficacy, will be enhanced for all external use. For drinking always use fresh urine. Massage should begin with the urine collected in bottle No. 1 seven days back. Keep that bottle in a tumbler or small bucket containing hot water so that the bottle and urine will become warm. It can also be made warm by keeping the bottle in the sun. To reduce the offensive smell of old urine you can mix camphor powder in urine while massaging. Massage the whole body. Thereafter the patient should sit for 15-20 minutes in the open air or sunshine, (If convenient) then he can take bath with lukewarm water without using soap, instead one can use gram flour or clay. Late Shri Morarji Desai had not used soap either for bathing or shaving but was using urine only during the last 30 years ! That was the secret that he hadn't visible wrinkles on his face and body at the ripe age of 99 years.
Urine therapy is supposed to cure a variety of ailments ranging from Arthritis, Cancer, Hepatitis, Multiple Sclerosis, Eczema, Psoriasis, Diabetes, Herpes and adrenal failure. It is commonly used to combat venom from snakebites, jellyfish and beestings. Urine is the main ingredient in infertility drugs.

Hydrologic Cycle

Rain is well known that rain falls copiously in thunder-storms. The flash is first seen, the clap is next heard, and last the rain descends. The lightning travels all lengths in no perceivable succession of time. Sound is propagated at the rate of 1142 feet in a second. Rain travels still more slowly, and will be seen sooner or later according to the weight of the drops, and the distance of the cloud from the place of the spectator.
Now the flash, the clap, and the rain, take place all in the same moment, but are discernible by us in the succession already mentioned, and for the reasons given above.
Lighting is represented as coming immediately from the hand of G-d.
Thunder, the clap is the effect of the lightning, which causes a vacuum in that part of the atmosphere through which it passes; the air rushing in to restore the equilibrium may cause much of the noise that is heard in the clap.
How does the thunder cause rain? By the most accurate and incontestable experiments it is proved that water is a composition of two elastic airs or gases as they are called, oxygen and hydrogen. In 100 parts of water there are 88 1/4 of oxygen, and 11 3/4 of hydrogen. Pass a succession of electric sparks through water by means of a proper apparatus, and the two gases are produced in the proportions mentioned above. The rain descending after the flash and the peal and the electric spark or matter of lightning, passing through the atmosphere, ignites and decomposes the oxygen and hydrogen, which explode, and the water which was formed of these two falls down in the form of rain. The explosion of the gases, as well as the rushing in of the circumambient air to restore the equilibrium, will account for the clap and peal: as the decomposition and ignition of them will account for the water or rain which is the attendant of a thunder storm. Thus by the lightning of thunder G-d causes it to rain on the earth. How marvelous and instructive are his ways!
Dew is a dense moist vapour, found on the earth in spring and summer mornings, in the form of a muzzling rain and appears to differ from rain as less from more. Its origin and matters are doubtless from the vapors and exhalations that rise from the earth and water.
Ice is a solid, transparent, and brittle body, formed of water by means of cold. Some philosophers suppose that ice is only the re-establishment of water in its natural state; that the mere absence of fire is sufficient to account for this re-establishment; and that the fluidity of water is a real fusion, like that of metals exposed to the action of fire; and differing only in this, that a greater portion of fire is necessary to one than the other. Ice, therefore, is supposed to be the natural state of water; so that in its natural state water is solid, and becomes fluid only by the action of fire, as solid metallic bodies are brought into a state of fusion by the same means. Ice is lighter than water, its specific gravity being to that of water as eight to nine. This rarefaction of ice is supposed to be owing to the air-bubbles produced in water by freezing, and which, being considerably larger in proportion to the water frozen, render the body so much specifically lighter; hence ice always floats on water. The air-bubbles, during their production, acquire a great expansive power, so as to burst the containing vessels, be they ever so strong.
Hoar-frost is the coagulation of dew, in frosty mornings, on the grass. It consists of an assemblage of little crystals of ice, which are of various figures, according to the different disposition of the vapors when met and condensed by the cold. Is it enough to say that hoar-frost is water deposited from the atmosphere at a low temperature, so as to produce coagulation?
25-28 After the great flood, the whole world was a wilderness, and there were no men to irrigate or till the ground. In the pre-flood world, there had been no rain (Gen. 2:5), but the ground had been watered by a daily mist, or dew, and by a system of rivers fed by artesian springs emerging from the great deep, a vast system of underground pressurized reservoirs. The prehistoric water above the firmament and the great deep had been dissipated at the flood, so G-d had to devise a new system for watering the earth. This he accomplished by activating the marvelous engine which we know today as the hydrologic cycle. See Gen. 7:11.
In directing the course of the rain He does not neglect the wilderness, the desert land, where no man is. Since rain fails also on places uninhabited by man, it cannot be that man guides its course. Such rain, though man cannot explain the reason for it, is not lost. G-d has some wise design in it.

Mystery of Snow

[Job 37:6] For he saith to the snow, Be thou on the earth; likewise to the small rain, and to the great rain of his strength.
[He said – Isa. 55:10-11. The word of G-d, as for its purity, so for its warming, refreshing, and fructifying nature, is compared unto it.
Snow – A cloud of vapors being condensed into drops, these drops, becoming too heavy to be suspended in the atmosphere, descend; and, meeting with a cold region of the air, they are frozen, each drop shooting into several points. These still continuing their descent, and meeting with some intermitting gales of a warmer air, are a little thawed, blunted, and again, by falling into colder air, frozen into clusters, or so entangled with each other as to fall down in what we call flakes.
Snow differs from hail and hoar-frost in being crystallized: this appears on examining a flake of snow with a magnifying glass; when the whole of it will appear to be composed of fine points diverging like rays from a centre.
The lightness of snow is owing to the excess of its surface, when compared with the matter contained under it.
Its whiteness is owing to the small particles into which it is divided: for take ice, opaque almost to blackness, and pound it fine, and it becomes as white as snow.
The immediate cause of the formation of snow is not well understood: it has been attributed to electricity; and hail is supposed to owe its more compact form to more intense electricity, which unites the particles of hail more closely than the moderate electricity does those of snow.
But rain, snow, hail, frost, ice, they are formed out of the vapors which have been exhaled by heat from the surface of the waters.
It is not a fact that it possesses in itself any fertilizing quality, such as nitrous salts, according to vulgar opinion: its whole use is covering the vegetables from intense cold, and thus preventing the natural heat of the earth from escaping, so that the intense cold cannot freeze the juices in the tender tubes of vegetables, which would rupture those tubes, and so destroy the plant.
Ps. 148:8. G-d has His treasures of it, and He brings it forth at His command, it goes at a word speaking; it is one of the things that fulfil His word. To the earth only it is useful, warming, refreshing, and fructifying; it has a wonderful virtue in it.
Small rain – the lesser or more gentle falls in the winter, when the north wind blows
Great rain – the larger in the spring with the south wind.
His strength - sudden thunder storms, when the rain descends in torrents: or violent rain from dissipating water-spouts.]
Adam Clarke
The providence of G-d is to be acknowledged, both by husbandmen in the fields and travelers upon the road, in every shower of rain, whether it does them a kindness of a diskindness. It is sin and folly to contend with G-d's providence in the weather; if He sends the snow or rain, can we hinder them? Or shall we be angry at them? It is as absurd to quarrel with any other disposal of Providence concerning ourselves or ours.

Snow Fleas

Snow fleas are decomposers and eat decaying organic matter as well as bacteria, fungi, algae, pollen, roundworms and rotifers.After mating in the spring, females lay eggs in the soil. The emerging nymphs undergo several moltings; by winter they show all adult features, if you look closer, those tiny black dots are moving. If you get down even closer, say with a magnifying glass, you'd notice those dots have legs and can jump.
Sometimes so many snow fleas appear that the snow seems carpeted with ashes. Approach them, and the entire mass rises in a dark cloud, swirling chaotically before descending to coat the surface again. When there are fewer snow fleas, you might see only tiny black dots that suddenly vanish in your presence. The scene can be so strange you might think you're hallucinating.Catch one if you can, and check it out. Under strong magnification, you will see a lumpy and segmented body with bluish reflective scales. The snow flea, only one-sixteenth of an inch long, lacks wings, but it has three pairs of legs. It also has two antennae and two clusters of eyes, 16 in each.Turn the snow flea over, and you will see something really unusual. Beneath its abdomen is one of the most extraordinary devices found in the animal world: a lever-like appendage held under tension by a two-hook clasp. It's this appendage that gives the snow flea its incredible jumping ability.To understand how it works, think of a common spring-loaded mousetrap. Touch the trigger holding the peanut butter, and the wire bar slams shut. Now gently place the cocked mousetrap upside down on the floor. Tap it with a pencil, and the trap snaps and springs into the air. Finally, imagine tens of thousands of mousetraps flying in the air. That approximates what happens when you approach a bunch of snow fleas.Undisturbed, the snow flea walks on snow or ground pleasantly feeding and going about its business. When you arrive, it leaps hundreds of times its own body length (think of a human jumping over the Empire State Building), followed by just about every other snow flea in the area.Your arrival was just detected by a snow flea's eyes or antennae, and a nerve impulse was sent to the clasp, which instantly released the appendage that catapulted the little creature out of danger.After landing, the clasp will quickly grab and hold the appendage while internal (hydrostatic) fluid pressure builds up until the lever again becomes a cocked spring.The spring-like mechanism is not the only unusual feature on the underside of a snow flea. The tiny creature has a tubular peg used for "drinking" and taking in oxygen. Rapid absorption of moisture is necessary to rebuild that hydrostatic pressure in the lever.
For snow fleas during much of the year it's a relatively uneventful scene down at ground level. Like other springtails, snow fleas spend most of their time feeding on soil bacteria, fungi, algae, pollen and organic material. Sometimes they devour microscopic animals like rotifers and nematode roundworms. (During their brief appearances on snow, they mostly eat pollen and algal cells that have settled out of the air.)In spring, like many creatures, they mate. The reproductive process isn't dramatic: Males and females are seemingly oblivious of each other. Males deposit stalked droplets of sperm on the ground, and a wandering female picks up a droplet by chance and whisks it into her genital opening. Fertilization occurs, and eggs are laid in the soil.In a matter of days, tiny nymphs appear as simpler, smaller versions of the adults, and they begin their generally unnoticed lives – until winter when they impress a human visitor with their circus acts in the snow.
Scientists in Illinois and Pennsylvania are reporting development of a way to make the antifreeze protein that enables billions of Canadian snow fleas to survive frigid winter temperatures. Their laboratory-produced first-of-a-kind proteins could have practical uses in extending the storage life of donor organs and tissues for human transplantation, according to new research. "Our most significant advance was the use of the two mirror image forms of the protein to determine the previously unknown crystal structure of this unique protein. That is a first in the history of protein X-ray crystallography." Snow fleas know how to ward off cold. They have natural antifreeze in their bodies that keeps ice from forming it might also be developed to help increase frost resistance in plants or inhibit crystallization in frozen foods. If you've been skiing or snowshoeing you may have noticed a host of tiny black dots in your tracks.

Renewing your mind

The entire human brain is called the cerebrum or the telencephalon which is the name for a large region within the brain. Scientists say the right hemisphere of the brain appears to control emotional expressions, visual imagination and nonverbal processing, while the left side controls verbal, analytical, sequential thinking and logical processing. Within the hemispheres there are four general parts including the frontal lobe, parietal lobe, temporal lobe, and occipital lobe. Each lobe has different features and functions and they are all very important. The frontal lobe is located in the front of the brain next to the parietal lobe. People have said that the frontal lobe plays a part in impulse control, judgment, language production, working memory, motor function, problem solving, sexual behavior, socialization and spontaneity. It also helps in planning, coordinating, controlling and executing behavior. Those are some functions that make the frontal lobe a very important part of the brain. Then there's the parietal lobe which is the part of the brain that is behind the frontal lobe and above temporal lobe. It is capable in putting together sensory information from different parts of the body including vision, hearing, memory, and motor and in the manipulation of objects. Much less is known about this lobe compared to the other three. After, it is the temporal lobe. The Temporal lobe is the one that is under the frontal lobe and the parietal lobe. It is the lobe that involves in auditory processing and is home to the primary auditory cortex which is the responsible for processing of sound information. It is also involved in speech and vision. The temporal lobe includes the hippocampus and is therefore it involves in memory formation as well, making the temporal lobe a very important part of the brain. The last lobe is the occipital lobe. This lobe allows humans to see and it can be found behind the temporal lobe and the parietal lobe. It is the smallest lobe out of the four but it is still very important.Your brain is a thinking organ that learns and grows by interacting with the world through perception and action. Mental stimulation improves brain function and actually protects against cognitive decline, as does physical exercise. The human brain is able to continually adapt and rewire itself. It is the tendency of the brain to shape itself according to experience. The average human brain weighs about 3 pounds. The brain has three main parts: the cerebrum, the cerebellum, and the brain stem (medulla).
Controlling toxic thoughts and emotions; what we think, what gets stuck in our brain jams so much of our body, dams the literal release of the healing potential and possibilities and we release toxins that poison us in so many ways, the negative aspects.
What the memories look like in your brain is pretty much like trees. In building a memory, your brain literally grows branches to hold the words spoken. So it is a physical positioning or place where the information is stored and that is an electro chemical reaction. You have electricity, you have chemicals, and you have a building process occurring. Now those chemicals that help to build the memory are called "the biochemicals of the body," these various different ones but for the sake of understanding it and making it simple we call them all "the biochemicals of the body." You cannot build a memory without the chemicals. Those chemicals are often referred to or now referred to in the current neuro science research as being "molecules of emotion." The very things that we build our memories with actually are carriers of emotion, and they move through your entire body, in your bloodstream. Your whole body contains memories of what's going on in your head, what's happening is that as you are building a memory you're having this electrical chemical reaction. Now there are two types of emotion, you get your fear-based emotions and you get faith-based emotions -- only two types. Out of the fear-based emotions come all of the anger, hate, bitterness, fear, unforgiveness, anxiety, worry. And out of the faith-based emotion comes love, joy, peace, patience, happiness and they are completely distinct in the signs, these different chemicals. , there is a very scientific link between how we think and the chemicals that our body produces. What happens is that they found that the fear-based chemicals, those things are toxic. Our body is made up of all of these chemical feedback loops, all these loops that get us going, all these electrical chemical feedback loops, a mass of them. And as these fear-based chemicals are released, those kind of clog up and block up the natural flow of the good chemicals. So that they kind of distorts the whole pattern and our bodies get reduced to simple feedback loops that actually disrupt the thinking pattern in the mind. It starts with a thought. It comes from what you're thinking in your mind, and if you think of what you're thinking in your mind, you've got all of these memories from birth to the age that you are at now, everything that you've been exposed to, even in the womb is stored in these memory trees of the mind that look like trees. What happens there is that these memory trees build and they live forever, they're controlling. You can actually build a memory that becomes a stronghold and it can dominate your thought life and every time you think of it, it releases certain chemicals in your body that will then go to the weak area, creating a hole, spreading over the positive areas. You build memories related to knowledge to incidents, and if they are negative-based or fear-based memories they're going to have fear-based chemicals flowing. Those chemicals flow through your entire body. They carry that message, if you were hurt when you were a child, your body built up a memory of the pain of that time.
What happens is that as the chemicals are released according to the fear or faith-based emotion that you're feeling, fear is a spiritual force, it is the opposite of faith, which is a spiritual force. Out of that spiritual force of fear will come all of the reactions, which you would have experienced maybe anxiety or worry or depression or whatever, or any of those things. Each of those in itself has its own bunch of chemicals that are released. So eventually your body is bathed in these chemicals that are being traveled, and your body goes into stress. So as you have fear, your body shifts into stress. Stress releases chemicals. These three levels of stress -- the first level is a good level, it's the one that alerts you, sharpens you, and focuses you. But then the second level is where the problems start. The third level is where we've got real serious problems. Now what can happen is that as those chemicals flow, those stress chemicals flow; they flow first to your heart. The life is in the blood. In your heart you have a little mini brain of 40,000 neurons, nerve cells and that little heart brain is a checking station. It checks for accuracy, for truth, for congruence, it is a small quiet voice, it is a gentleman, and it is the conscience. So literally, on a physical level it is described as your checking station, scientifically, and on a spiritual level, it would be where the Holy Spirit would speak to you because it is where your conscience is.
Now all the things from your mind as you formulate thoughts and whatever, it would pass through your conscience. And if we haven't got control of our thought life the conscience will alert you that something is wrong but you may not have a coping strategy in place to actually deal with that emotion. Those chemicals will flow to your heart and if possible, the heart will be choked first because the life is in the blood. Then the chemicals all flow through to the immune system, which is your defense system. So think of it now, your life has been choked and if you have a genetic weakness in your heart, one of those heart problems can start to develop. If however, you don't have a genetic weakness there, you will experience heart palpitations or fluttering of the heart or whatever, then it will shift over to the immune system and the immune system covers a huge amount of -- as things go wrong in the immune system. What will happen there is the immune system or defense system will be attacked. If there is a weakness somewhere there, you will start getting symptoms, physical symptoms.
When the stress chemicals flow, it is a bit like battery acid because if you can imagine that that's your nerve selling your brain and you have about a 100 trillion of them in your brain. What happens is they're covered with like a little fatty sheathe called the myelin sheath and as those stress chemicals flow, they flow through your brain and they actually start physically eating into that myelin sheath. That then will affect the impulse's ability to flow and the chemicals or the peptides to actually flow and carry the information, which will cause depression, fatigue, anxiety, lack of clarity of thought, all kinds of any -- depending on how bad, where it is. Sometimes it forms, the chemicals can almost coagulate and form like a chewing gum blob and the impulse can literally get stuck so you lose attention, you lose focus, you lose concentration. Your fear, the fear chemicals block your ability to think, block your creativity, block your joy, block your hope. Now joy and hope, laughter, those things immediately start releasing chemicals that help to rebuild again. You can go for years, we can stay in that stage for 20, 40, 60 years because one will go in and out, in and out but eventually, the damage becomes quite severe and can become quite permanent.
The emotional memories causes’ psychosomatic illness and damage to the brain for what you are thinking can have a negative effect or can reverse to the positive. What's happening, when you have things stored inside like anger and unforgiveness, the person you're angry with, you're the one that's suffering. You may hold it against them but it is putting toxins in your body. You're actually the one who suffers more. One needs to release that and forgive the person because as you are holding unforgiveness and bitterness which is from the fear line, what happens is you are picking up the wrong chemicals.
If you don’t release the negative emotions what will happen is those little memories, the painful chemicals, the toxic chemicals kind of form little thorns on the memory so it becomes painful. Think of it like a weed that is growing through a garden, and through a field, a really strong wild weed that is weeding out all of the good stuff, eventually, it chokes the good memories and it will dominate. And every time you go and walk through there you hurt yourself, there is pain being released. You can be absent from the situation but experience the same feeling of pain because those molecules then literally pop out of the little thorn, flow through your body, remind your body because you get cellular memory and you actually re-experience the pain. So it is more real than what we actually think. Now forgiveness, you cannot build a new memory over the old memory until you have forgiven because chemically, that new memory can't bond when those chemicals, it is almost like soapy, that's a simple way of explaining it. You can't grow something on to it. You can only add on to the same thing, like unto like. So you can only build the same kind of negative memory on top of it. But if one day you decide to start forgiving and you don't just forgive with your mouth, but you forgive with your heart because your brain has to have your body and your brain has to have congruence, it has to not be oh, I forgive them. You have to really forgive them.
Free will was a gift to us from the Father, once we have accepted Him, our gift to Him is to have His will. And since He wants only good for us, every thought must be decided with “is this good for me”, if not though it away and don’t feed into it.Our environment, teachings, hurts and pains can damage our way of thinking and responding bringing every thought received as negative causing more stress to the mind and body. But since the brain can rewire itself we can choose to override the black stress into positive thoughts by truly taking every thought captive; “I’ll keep this – I’ll disregard that” until we make it a habit to think positive and protect what flows through our brain and body. I find this fascinating for I new how to renew the mind in His Word, but allowed festering situations replay until the body started to react.

What a powerful tool He has given us – now to use it wisely and make our changes!

Laminins

This was sent to me in a email: 'Laminins are a family of proteins that are an integral part of the structural scaffolding of basement membranes in almost every animal tissue.' You see....laminins are what hold us together....LITERALLY. They are cell adhesion molecules. They are what holds one cell of our bodies to the next cell. Without them, we would literally fall apart. Here is what the structure of laminin looks like...AND THIS IS NOT a 'Christian portrayal' of it....if you look up laminin in any scientific/medical piece of literature. G-d is the coolest!!! The glue that holds us together....ALL of us....is in the shape of the cross. Immediately Colossians 1:15-17 comes to mind. 'He is the image of the invisible G-d, the firstborn over all creation.

For by Him all things were created; things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by Him and for Him.

He is before all things, and in Him all things HOLD TOGETHER. ' Colossians 1:15-17 We are held together...one cell to another....by the cross.

Hiatal Hernia

Some people develop a hiatal hernia after an injury to the area. Others are born with an inherent weakness or an unusually large hiatal opening. But anything that puts intense pressure on your abdomen — including persistent or severe coughing or vomiting, pregnancy, straining while going to the bathroom, increased abdominal fluid or lifting heavy objects — can contribute to a hernia.If you get more than occasional heartburn, it may be a symptom of acid reflux disease, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), an inflamed stomach lining (gastritis), hiatal hernia or peptic ulcer.

Self-care: A variety of lifestyle changes can help ease the gastroesophageal reflux that may accompany a hiatal hernia. Some or all of the following measures may help:

Eat small meals. Large meals can distend your stomach, pushing it into your chest.

Avoid problem foods and alcohol.

Try to avoid alcohol, caffeinated drinks, chocolate, onions, spicy foods, spearmint and peppermint — all of which increase production of stomach acid and relax the lower esophageal sphincter.

Even decaffeinated coffee can be irritating to an inflamed esophageal lining. Also try to limit citrus fruits and tomato-based foods. They're acidic and can irritate an inflamed esophagus.Limit fatty foods.

Fatty foods relax the lower esophageal sphincter and slow stomach emptying, which increases the amount of time that acid can back up into your esophagus.

Sit up after you eat. Wait at least three hours before going to bed or taking a nap. By then, most of the food in your stomach will have emptied into your small intestine, so it can't flow back into your esophagus.

Eating a bedtime snack stimulates acid formation and further aggravates acid reflux.Don't exercise immediately after eating.

Try to wait at least two to three hours before you engage in any strenuous activity. Low-key exercise, such as walking, is fine.

Lose weight. If you're overweight, slimming down helps reduce the pressure on your stomach. This may well be the most important thing you can do to relieve your symptoms.

Try to stop smoking. Smoking increases acid reflux and dries your saliva. Saliva helps protect your esophagus from stomach acid.

Avoid certain medications, if possible. Medications to avoid include calcium channel blockers; the antibiotic tetracycline; nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, such as aspirin, ibuprofen and naproxen sodium; quinidine; theophylline; sedatives and tranquilizers; and alendronate. If you take any of these medications and have heartburn, Tylenol is much easer on the stomach.

Elevate the head of your bed. If you elevate the head of your bed six to nine inches, gravity will help prevent stomach acid from moving up into your esophagus as you sleep. Using a foam wedge to raise your mattress also may help. Don't try to use pillows, which tend to increase pressure on your abdomen.

Avoid tightfitting clothes. They put pressure on your stomach.

Take time to relax. When you're under stress, digestion slows, which makes GERD symptoms worse. Relaxation techniques such as deep breathing, meditation or yoga may help reduce acid reflux.

Tips on preventing heartburn:Place 6- to 9-inch blocks under the legs at the head of your bed to raise it.
Try to eat at least 2 to 3 hours before lying down. If you take naps, try sleeping in a chair.

Lose weight if you're overweight.

Don't overeat.Eat high-protein, low-fat meals.Avoid tight clothes and tight belts.Avoid foods and other things that give you heartburn

Omeprazole (brand name: Prilosec) and lansoprazole (brand name: Prevacid), also reduce how much acid the stomach makes. Metoclopramide (brand name: Reglan) reduces acid reflux.

Surgical repair: A few people with a hiatal hernia may need surgery. This is usually considered only when medications and lifestyle changes fail to relieve severe reflux symptoms, or if you have complications such as chronic bleeding or narrowing or obstruction of your esophagus. Large hiatal hernias may also need repair if they cause symptoms such as shortness of breath, difficulty breathing or swallowing, or chest pain.An operation for a hiatal hernia may involve pulling your stomach down into your abdomen and making the opening in your diaphragm smaller, reconstructing a weak esophageal sphincter, or removal of the hernia sac. In some cases, this is done using a single incision in your chest wall (thoracotomy) or abdomen (laparotomy). In other cases, your surgeon may insert instruments and a fiber-optic camera through several small incisions in your abdomen. The operation is then performed while your surgeon views the images on a video monitor (laparoscopic surgery).Laparoscopic surgery generally causes less pain and scarring and requires a shorter hospital stay than does thoracotomy or laparotomy. The procedure that's best for you may be determined by the kind of hernia you have and the experience of your surgeon. Patients who have laparoscopic surgery typically spend 1 to 3 days in hospital. Those who have open surgery may spent 2 to 6 days in the hospital after the procedure.During surgery, a tube was placed into the stomach through the nose and throat (nasogastric tube). Some surgeons like to leave the tube in for a few days after the procedure, while others do not.Eat small, frequent meals after the surgery and avoid gas-producing foods.Most patients go back to work in 2-3 weeks for laparoscopic surgery, or 4-6 weeks after open surgery.

Risks specific to this surgery include: Gas bloat, which causes difficulty burping or vomiting and results in bloating after meals. This occurs in about 40% of cases but gradually improves in most patients. In rare cases, the bloating is long term. Pain with swallowing (dysphagia ) occurs in 5 - 40% of patients, but improves over the first 3 months in almost all patients.Damage to the stomach or esophagus (rare)Recurrence of the hiatal hernia
