Flu Shots-Just say No!
Experts continue to disagree about the safety of flu vaccines. The CDC, or Centers for Disease Control pushes the flu vaccine onto the public. The CDC often has ties to the pharmaceutical industry. The CDC states that 135 children died during the 2003-2004 flu season. 59 of those children received flu shots! How many of those deaths were vaccine related? Dr. Mark Sircus, O.M.D., states, for adults who think the flu shot is helpful for them, that if an individual has five consecutive flu shots his or her chances of developing Alzheimer's disease are 10 times greater than if they had one, two or no shots. Why? The flu vaccine contains a toxic load of mercury, aluminum and even formaldehyde. Even more disturbing? The CDC has now included the flu vaccination in the 6-month old baby vaccination schedule.

Realize your Dreams
As we begin a new year and winter solstice, many of us intensify our goal and dream setting. The failure to accomplish a goal is the result of not bringing your desires from the subconscious to the conscious or from the mental plane to the physical plane. First visualize your desire and get a very clear and specific picture using all 5 senses. Then write the desire down. The act of writing with a pen or pencil is a powerful direct connection between mind and body. Wishes and ideas form in the head, and true desires come from the heart. Emotions in the body are not fully expressed until they reach consciousness in the brain. Emotions stored all over the body strive to travel in an upward motion. When the emotion, in the form of peptides, moves up to the brain, it can be fully expressed. When the heart manifests your true desires, they will make the journey to your head. When the head and heart are in harmony, the head works out the details that allow the heart's desire to manifest. So, as you write your goals-write them in great detail. Set a date. Write how you will feel when you achieve your dream. Who are you with? What will you be doing? Where will you be living? Go ahead and create that harmony between your heart and your head to realize your dreams...

Hugging for Health
Dr. David Bresler, Director of the Pain Control Unit at UCLA says hugging is a miracle medicine that can relieve many physical and emotional problems facing Americans. He prescribes four hugs a day-breakfast, lunch, dinner and bedtime! No wimpy hugs please- fully embrace using both arms and facing your partner. Hugging helps with depression and helps you feel younger because when we are touched the amount of hemoglobin in our blood increases significantly. Hemoglobin is the part of the blood that carries vital supplies of oxygen to all parts of the body in effect toning up the body and speeding recovery from illness.
