Creativity...

What is the meaning of this? What does it mean to be "Creative"? I feel that all of us, each and every one, has this innate capacity. No matter who you are, at some point you have "created" something that was uniquely yours, don't you agree. Why do we call some people creative, and others, we don't?

The artist brings us something, a painting, a song, a dance, a building, a computer program, that somehow captures a vision from their unique minds eye or soul's view and makes that splendid perspective able to be experienced by others.

We witness the wonder of artistic creation in these things.

Parasites, Pollution and False Nutrition...

The avoidance of disease is an afterthought in today's medical industry...if it is considered at all. The fact is that until education and proper lifestyle choices become the central focus of health care, we will remain locked in the ever-deepening spiral of growing suffering, avoidable illnesses, unnatural deaths and record setting financial burdens that makes daily headlines. In this modern affluent country, with the level of expenditures that are purportedly targeted to the improvement of our nations health, there is no legitimate reason for our nation to experience the dire consequences of the root causes of poor health. The overwhelming majority of health problems are directly attributable to the health "axis of evil": Parasites, and the harmful bacteria and viruses that form their symbiotic ecosystem; Pollution in all its forms, from benzene, prescription drugs, air, soil and water contamination and self-pollution with alcohol, tobacco and other self-pollution, legal and otherwise; and the abominable effects of False Nutrition; a diet at best devoid of the proper natural balance of nutrients and at worse laced with harmful growth hormones, pesticides, herbicides and chemical fertilizers. These are the reasons we become ill. The medical profession creates an entire bewildering language and complex taxonomy of illnesses and maladies that serve to obfuscate these root causes. They then devise expensive and proprietary so-called "treatments" that target the symptoms of the illnesses that ultimately arise from the evil interoperating triumvirate of Parasites, Pollution and False Nutrition... Because their techniques target symptoms, and don't address the root causes, in many cases, extensively documented time and again, these treatments actually cause more devastating effects than the illnesses they claim to ease or "cure".

What is the solution? Seek answers for yourself. End the era of blindly accepting whatever course of treatment the medical profession prescribes. Question their authority, and demand explanations devoid of jargon and gibberish that pass your own internal sense of validity. Take responsibility for your own health, because in the end, you are the one that will have to live, or die with the consequences of your choices, not your doctor.

Medicine?

I heard the other day about a young man who died after taking an overdose of DXM, an ingredient in hundreds of over the counter medications for cough suppression and cold symptom relief. Turns out this substance is an hallucinogenic when taken in high enough doses. Add to this that the American College of Chest Physicians has published guidelines for its members saying there was "no clinical evidence" they worked and you have yet another example of the pharmaceutical industry run amok. Take a look at this. No wonder health care is such a financial burden when you consider the amount of woe brought into lives due to the endless spiral of illness created by the very medical industry pretending to be attending to your health. The ancient civilization had a much better approach. At the end of the year, your doctor was paid only if you were well and in good health the entire year. In today's model, the sicker you are, the more your physician and the medical industry can make off of you. Seems to invert the incentive system from the desired outcome, doesn't it? What can you do to unplug from the health care "matrix"? Being informed is the answer. Ignorance of your own body and its needs and vulnerabilities is what makes the "learned" medical "professionals" able to perpetuate their socio-industrial juggernaut.
