			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What is truth?  Is there really a universal truth?</p>
<p>Webster says: The meaning of the word truth extends from honesty, good faith, and sincerity in general, to agreement with fact or reality in particular.</p>
<p>The term has no single definition about which a majority of professional philosophers and scholars agree, and various theories of truth continue to be debated. There are differing claims on such questions as what constitutes truth; how to define and identify truth; the roles that revealed and acquired knowledge play; and whether truth is subjective, relative, objective, or absolute. This article introduces the various perspectives and claims, both today and throughout history.</p>
<p><strong>So even the experts are somewhat unsure of what truth really is.</strong></p>
<p>Dealing with a crisis can be the most difficult time of your life.  Everything gets turned upside down.  We may even go into shock.  Now how do we know the truth to follow.</p>
<p>We each have truth available to us in this moment, it is within us.  Go to <a title="Living From The Heart" href="http://www.sheilaulrich.com/blog/products">Living From The Heart</a> to find out how to access this truth. </p>
<p>Have you ever had the feeling that you just know something?  You don&#8217;t know how you know it or where the information came from, but you KNOW!</p>
<p>You know it to be truth and you will stand by it as the truth.  Where did this come from, your mind, your heart and soul, or from outer space????</p>
<p>I had this experience while in my cancer journey and confused and uncertain which way to turn.  See what happened to me <a title="click here" href="http://www.sheilaulrich.com/blog/products">click here</a>, in Song of My Soul: Hope Inspiration and Wisdom From A Cancer Suvivor.</p>
<p>Sometimes we just want someone to tell us the truth for us.  They can&#8217;t.  The truth resides in each of us and is the only truth there is for us.</p>
<p>Does truth change?  Each moment is new and different and ever-evolving.  In each moment, go within and access your truth.  Jesus said, &#8220;Be still and you will know.&#8221;</p>
<p>He was pointing us to the truth that is available to us every moment.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>YOU are in control of your destiny!!!  Its not something or someone doing it to you&#8230;</p>
<p>What do you want your life to look like???? Write it down&#8230;</p>
<p>Whatever you are dealing with today&#8230;remember their are infinite possibilities if you open to them.</p>
<p>Sometimes we can&#8217;t see, imagine, feel, or even believe it.  </p>
<p>These are simple habits to help you open the door to your heart and create the changes you want in your life. </p>
<p>1.   5 to 15 minutes of quiet time each day connecting to your spirit and heart.  Your head is only a tool.  </p>
<p>      Use your mind only when you need it during your day.  Use your mind just like any tool (i.e.calculator) </p>
<p>      Take your mind out only when you need it.     You are not your mind&#8230;&#8230;Let your spirit out.  </p>
<p>2.   Your feelings and emotions are your God given guidance system to help guide you along your life&#8217;s journey.</p>
<p>      Follow the guidance of your heart and emotions.  </p>
<p>      Whatever you are doing, thinking, deciding, etc..ask the question&#8230;&#8230;Does it feel good&#8230;or not???</p>
<p>      Pay attention!! </p>
<p>3.   Journal each day- let your spirit out, uncover it again.  Write from your heart not your head. </p>
<p>4.   What are you grateful for today? </p>
<p>5.   Be aware what you are feeling, thinking, believing and doing&#8230;..</p>
<p>      Awarenes is key to opening to new, exciting possibilities and change.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The simple phrase <em><strong>I wonder</strong></em>&#8230;&#8230;. opens up a piece of you to explore and see and feel your deepest desires.</p>
<p><em>I wonder what today will bring&#8230;</em></p>
<p><em>I wonder what I really want to do right now&#8230;.</em></p>
<p><em>I wonder what my greatest gift to the world is&#8230;.</em></p>
<p><em>I wonder how I feel about&#8230;..</em></p>
<p><em>I wonder if I should call__________&#8230;.</em></p>
<p>These simple phrases allow you to stop&#8230;it opens you and helps you to feel and get a glimspe of the answer.  All our answers are within us.  Often we act or react to something someone says or what someone wants or wants us to do, without really stopping to check in what is the best for ME!  When we react we are acting on autopilot..we are going through the motions without a clear direction and without lining up with our true wants and desires.</p>
<p> I love what Neale Walsh says about reacting&#8230;He says when we are in REACTION we are not seeing clearly or acting with clarity.  We act with clarity when we are lined up with the true us, the us within, the power within, our true self.  So reaction is based on something outside of ourselves.  But when we are in CREATION mode, we are responding with clarity.  We are responding to something by first checking in, finding our answers and lining up with our truest self and true desires.</p>
<p><em><strong>REACTION        vs         CREATION             </strong>There is only one difference in these words&#8230;and that is the letter C.</em></p>
<p><em><strong>So when we &#8220;C&#8221; clearly we are the creators of our reality.</strong></em></p>
<p>So stop today and ask I wonder&#8230;&#8230;.and watch what unfolds.  Practice&#8230;this is a habit to develop and use to create what you want in your life.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My good friend Julia Rogers Hamrick wrote a compelling and thought provoking note on the tragedy in Arizona with James Arthur Ray and the sweat lodge.  I know a lot of you have seen the news reports and wonder&#8230;..</p>
<p>As we wonder we talk about the facts and then we tend as humans to want to blame someone.  Who is to blame? </p>
<p>When we blame we are actually pushing our energy out on someone else or out into the world.  Our energy could be a feeling or a thought.  If we have a thought about the event, it is an energy within us.  This is the time we can look within ourselves to find where the thought may also be true in our lives.  Now I am not saying any of us have been in this type of situation, but the thought or feeling is within us for a purpose.  What is the purpose?</p>
<p>It is an opportunity for us to look at our stuff, our life and where do we feel, think or act in a similar way.  It is an opportunity for us to become more aware of the energy within us and release it.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s what Julia has to say&#8230;</p>
<p>As you may already know, a horrific event occurred October 9th in the desert near Sedona, Arizona at a retreat led by James Arthur Ray, well-known author and personal development guru. Two people died immediately and another died this weekend after participating in a questionably executed sweat lodge. Almost two dozen others were hospitalized with illnesses ranging from dehydration to kidney failure.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t wish to lay blame&#8211;others will be doing that, and it&#8217;s strictly an ego exercise to do so. But I did want to communicate one important message in light of the outcome: Never, ever obey anyone&#8217;s authority over that of your Spirit.</p>
<p>If someone seems to know more than you do, have achieved more than you have, have obtained what you want to have, or seems more enlightened than you believe you are, it is not a signal to abdicate your own sense of knowing to subject yourself to his or hers. Partake of their ideas, yes, if you&#8217;re attracted, and try them on to see if they fit for you&#8211;or not.</p>
<p>If you are receiving any internal signals that something is wrong&#8211;or even not quite right, or just simply not a match for you&#8211;pay attention and heed those signals. You don&#8217;t have to prove anything to anyone&#8211;even to yourself. Don&#8217;t let your own fearful ego lead you astray in a quest for something it&#8217;s telling you that you haven&#8217;t got. Ego is a consummate liar and will sell you down the river in a heartbeat.</p>
<p>All knowledge is already yours. All your desires are already yours, even if you aren&#8217;t yet experiencing that. But the way to realize and manifest them into your reality is to follow your Spirit to the vibrational level where you can claim them. And you can&#8217;t do that if you&#8217;re busy following someone else. Or a group of someone elses. Or your own ego. Following anyone other than your own Spirit will lead you down in vibration.</p>
<p>If you find yourself caught up in group energy, something that often occurs due to the longing to feel the energy of being at one with your fellow human beings, pay special attention. You may find yourself willing to do things and take risks you&#8217;d never take if your energy was centered within yourself and not in the composite mind of the group.</p>
<p>I am somewhat painfully familiar with that dynamic because I once found myself streaking naked across my college campus after getting so caught up in the pack mentality and energy, I was compelled to join the streaking crowd. In that case, the only deleterious effect was a photograph of the back of me in my birthday suit (blessedly, with a shirt over my head) that showed up on the front page of the city&#8217;s newspaper.</p>
<p>And here&#8217;s one I have been learning the hard way: If your body is telling you to back off whatever you are doing instead of pushing, listen and obey. Ease your way into growth&#8211;don&#8217;t force your way into it.</p>
<p>As a spiritual teacher, I take my responsibility to influence very seriously. For me, having your attention is a sacred trust and I am intent on keeping my ego in check to keep that relationship clear. Starting with the experience I tell about in the introduction to Recreating Eden, I have been continually shown that rejecting all authority outside one&#8217;s own being, and honoring the voice of Spirit within is the very key to reaching the highest level of vibration and experiencing enlightenment.</p>
<p>My Spirit has always made sure I understood that trying to assert any authority over a person&#8217;s own inner guidance, no matter how right my ego may tell me I am, is a ticket to disaster. My desire is to empower you to listen to your Spirit and be yourSelf, not to get you to take what I have to say as being the gospel. You don&#8217;t need a guru&#8211;you have one within.</p>
<p>I can only imagine the pain that James Ray is in right now, not to mention the loved ones of those who died or who were otherwise injured. I could be wrong, but it seems to me that all involved may have stopped listening to their inner guidance. Then again, that is an ego-based judgment, based on limited evidence. Everything is in Divine Order, even when we don&#8217;t like what Divine Order looks like at any given moment.</p>
<p>The take-away as I see it is this: Anyone who urges you to deny your internal signals so as to expand and evolve may just be, without even realizing it, asking you to risk your life. Anyone who tells you they can show you the way to Nirvana who isn&#8217;t emphasizing that your Spirit is your only true authority is under the influence of ego and can&#8217;t be trusted (only your Spirit can be trusted). But don&#8217;t take my word for it&#8211;ask your own Spirit if this is true.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What an amazing experience I had yesterday on <a title="Truly Alive radio" href="http://www.sheilaulrich.com/blog" target="_blank">Truly Alive Radio </a>with Yolaine Stout.  We were discussing spiritual solutions to healing and depression more specifically.</p>
<p>Yolaine had 3 episodes of major depression and each one ended in a miraculous physical healing also.  How does that happen?  (Listen to her story on Truly Alive radio to the right on this page).</p>
<p>I believe when we are in a tug of war between our spirit self and our ego self .  When we are in perfect alignment with our spirit self and all that is, God, universe whatever you want to call it, miracles happen.  This is a natural occurance when we are in this state of being.  I believe in miracles every moment.  I believe we were born to express our God self through our physical experience.</p>
<p>When we become distracted by our thoughts and our mind, we are unable to hear our true self speaking to us. </p>
<p>Yolaine believes depression is&#8230;.</p>
<p>&#8220;A symptom, not a diagnosis. The suffering comes from the repeated wounds inflicted upon our hearts by thoughts and beliefs that are not in harmony with our authentic, spiritual nature. The lack of energy is battle fatigue from the war being waged between our hearts and our heads. It&#8217;s our spirit&#8217;s desperate way of boycotting our actions &#8211; a last ditch effort to get us to change.  Your head may want to give up, but your spirit never will.&#8221;</p>
<p>Our spirit is screaming out to us, to be recognized, to be listened to and we ignore it.  It is gently guided us along our path and we are not listening.  We think, feel and act in opposition to our true nature.  And that is love, joy, harmony, peace, compassion&#8230;.. Then what happens&#8230;&#8230;???  We get tired, we get sick, we lose our job, we experience bad relationships&#8230;.. All of which is part of our physical expression and experience here on earth.</p>
<p>Can we change our experience?</p>
<p>Yolaine says, &#8220;Most depression is a spiritual problem that requires a spiritual solution.  Thoughts of hopelessness, when our spirits are visionary optimists, drag us down. Thoughts of control, manipulation and victimization,  when our spirits rejoice in self empowerment, enslave us. Negative, angry and judgmental thoughts, when our spirits are made of unconditional love, mire us in mud. Thoughts of powerlessness, when our spirits need creative expession,  chain us to the wall.  Thoughts of fear and worry, when our spirits have nothing to fear, keep us in darkness.  Thoughts of shame or guilt,  when our spirits teach forgiveness and compassion,  keep us trapped.&#8221;</p>
<p>So if our spirits are optimistic, empowered, unconditional love, freedom, compassion can we use our spirit to heal?</p>
<p>Yolaine sees it every day with her clients as she helps them obtain freedom again and release the prison walls they have created.  To get a copy of Yolaines book, Spiritual Solution to Depression and get more information, <a title="click here" href="http://www.stoutpotentials.com/" target="_blank">Click here.</a></p>
<p>Is there really a <a title="spiritual solution" href="http://sheilaulrich.com/blog/spiritual-solution-to-healing-disease-cancer/" target="_blank">spiritual solution </a>to disease?  Is there a spiritual solution to <a title="cancer" href="http://www.sheilaulrich.com/blog/cancer-support.htm" target="_blank">cancer</a>??????</p>
<p>And if so how do we do it?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Cancer Spreads Through Body Long Before Tumor Develops<br />
by David Gutierrez, staff writer</p>
<p> Seemingly healthy cells may spread to distant parts of the body long before any cancerous tumors are visible, researchers have discovered. This suggests that the virulence of a specific case of cancer might actually be determined early in the disease, perhaps even before diagnosis.</p>
<p>At issue is a phenomenon called metastasis, by which cancer cells spread from one organ to a non-adjacent organ. Cancers that have metastasized are particularly lethal and hard to treat; the majority of lethal breast cancers, for example, are metastatic.</p>
<p>&#8220;These findings indicate that properties inherent in normal cells are sufficient for negotiating a significant portion of the metastatic cascade,&#8221; lead researcher Dr Katrina Podsypanina said. &#8220;Our data seems to point toward the inherent decision that is made when the tumor is formed whether it is highly malignant or not.&#8221;</p>
<p>The findings might explain the mystery of why some cancers have such high rates of metastasis and recurrence. Breast cancer is one such disease, with roughly 20 percent of women who are free of cancer five years after diagnosis suffering a recurrence some time in the following 10 years.</p>
<p>Previously, researchers had thought that metastasis could only occur in the late stages of cancer, when highly developed cancer cells break off from tumors and enter the circulatory or lymphatic systems. They had thought that prior to this point, cells would be unable to survive the journey and establish themselves in other organs.</p>
<p>In the current study, published in the journal Science, Podsypanina and colleagues at the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Center in New York injected mice with mammary (breast) cells that had been genetically modified to contain an &#8220;oncogene&#8221; that could be switched on to turn them cancerous. These cells were observed to travel through the blood and establish colonies in the lungs, where they were able to survive for up to 16 weeks.</p>
<p>They did not begin to form tumors, however, until their oncogenes were switched on. At that point, they rapidly developed into aggressive tumors without passing through the traditional early stage.</p>
<p>For comparison, the researchers also injected mice with non-modified mammary cells. In these mice, too, the breast cells established colonies in the lungs that were observed to grow and proliferate. These clusters of mammary cells never became malignant, however. When they were removed and implanted into other mice, they developed into normal, apparently healthy breast tissue.</p>
<p>&#8220;The finding that metastatic disease can arise from untransformed mammary cells in the circulation refines our conception of cancer progression,&#8221; the researchers said.</p>
<p>The researchers and other cancer experts cautioned that more research is needed before it can be known for sure whether healthy cells are really involved in the spread of cancer. For one thing, it is not clear why or how healthy cells would get to other parts of the body in the first place, or how they would be activated once there.</p>
<p>&#8220;This does suggest that cells can sit for a long time, and then be activated,&#8221; said Claudine Isaacs of Georgetown University. &#8220;But these cells were injected into the circulation. Normal breast cells are not supposed to be in the circulation.&#8221;</p>
<p>In addition, the same effect might not occur in humans as in mice.</p>
<p>Yet if the implications of the study are correct, it might be possible to develop new cancer treatments that prevent the disease from spreading and becoming more lethal.</p>
<p>&#8220;If follow-up research suggested that dissemination of normal breast cells can account for metastatic relapse in breast cancer patients (a hypothetical situation, at present), we would argue that treatment strategies should aim to compromise viability and/or proliferation of normal breast cells, and not just breast tumor cells,&#8221; they said.</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s definitely conceptually very profound,&#8221; Podsypanina said.</p>

<p><span class="145510701-31012009"><font color="#0000ff" face="Arial">I used coffee enemas in my <a target="_blank" href="http://www.sheilaulrich.com/blog/cancer-support.htm" title="cancer survivor ">cancer survivor </a>journey for detoxification.  It stimulates the liver, and helps the body release built up crap we have accumulated in our bodies over the years on this earth.  It was as natural to me as any drug I put in my body so I thought I would try it.  It couldn&#8217;t hurt I thought.  I did the enema morning and night.</font></span></p>
<p><span class="145510701-31012009"><font color="#0000ff" face="Arial">Here is how I mixed it:  3 cups brewed coffee, not instant or decaffeinated, and added 5 cups water to cool coffee down to body temperature.  Then I took this and  I combined it with 8 cups warm distilled water.  </font></span></p>
<p><span class="145510701-31012009"><font color="#0000ff" face="Arial">I recommend you find a naturapathic doctor to supervise you if you choose this path for your journey.</font></span></p>
<p><span class="145510701-31012009"> </span><span class="145510701-31012009">Here is what others have said about this therapy. </span></p>
<p><span class="145510701-31012009">&#8220;A coffee enema should be given every morning for one month; then twice a week for eight months. The coffee enema is very stimulating to the liver, and is the greatest aid in eliminating its toxic poisons.&#8221; </span></p>
<p><span class="145510701-31012009">&#8220;The word detox does not appear in the main textbook on cancer or the main medical textbook&#8230;the word in medicine refers to heroin addicts and getting them off heroin&#8230;they do not conceive that their are such things as toxins created by a tumour&#8230;where do they think it all goes?&#8221;&#8212;&#8211;Ralph Moss</span></p>
<p><span class="145510701-31012009">.……cleansing enemas are not retained or held in the body; they are used to flush out the colon&#8230;(A coffee enema) is beneficial in treatment.. .because it stimulates the liver to excrete toxins or &#8216;poison bile.&#8217; It&#8217;s called a retention enema because it is held in or retained for fifteen minutes.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span class="145510701-31012009">Dr Patrick Quillin, PhD, RD (Beating Cancer With Nutrition</span></p>
<p><span class="145510701-31012009">&#8220;In as much as detoxification of the body is of the greatest importance, especially in the beginning, it is absolutely necessary to administer frequent enemas, day and night (on the average, we give coffee enemas every four hours, day and night, and even more frequently against severe pain, nausea, general nervous tension and depression)&#8230;Some patients take enemas every two hours, or even more frequently, during the first days of the treatment. More advanced cases are severely intoxicated and the absorption of the tumor masses, glands, etc., intoxicates them even more. Many years ago I lost several patients by coma hepaticum, since I did not know, and therefore neglected, the vital importance of frequent and regularly continued elimination of poisonous substances, with the help of juices, enemas, etc.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span class="145510701-31012009">Dr Alan Nittler, M.D. (A New Breed of Doctor)</span></p>
<p><span class="145510701-31012009">Here is a 1990 article by Ralph Moss that gives some history.</span><span class="145510701-31012009"><br />
COFFEE: THE ROYAL FLUSH<br />
From The Cancer Chronicles #6 and #7<br />
© Autumn 1990 by Ralph W. Moss, Ph.D. </span><span class="145510701-31012009"><br />
&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</span><span class="145510701-31012009">The most controversial alternative procedures has to be the coffee enema. Along with other detoxification routines, the coffee enema is a central part of both the Gerson and the Kelley programs. It is always good for a laugh: &#8220;with milk or sugar?&#8221; This bizarre-sounding treatment can also be used to scare people away from alternatives in general. No quackbusting article these days is complete without a reference to &#8220;enemas made from roasted coffee beans.&#8221; So what&#8217;s the story? Is the coffee enema crackpot faddism or is there some rationale behind this procedure?</p>
<p>An enema is &#8220;a fluid injected into the rectum for the purpose of clearing out the bowel, or of administering drugs or food.&#8221; The word itself comes from the Greek en-hienai, meaning to &#8220;send or inject into.&#8221; The enema has been called &#8220;one of the oldest medical procedures still in use today.&#8221; Tribal women in Africa, and elsewhere, routinely use it on their children. The earliest medical text in existence, the Egyptian Ebers Papyrus, (1,500 B.C.) mentions it. Millennia before, the Pharaoh had a &#8220;guardian of the anus,&#8221; a special doctor one of whose purposes was to administer the royal enema.</p>
<p>The Greeks wrote of the fabled cleanliness of the Egyptians, which included the internal cleansing of their systems through emetics and enemas. They employed these on three consecutive days every month said Herodotus (II.77) or at intervals of three or four days, according to the later historian Diodorus. The Egyptians explained to their visitors that they did this because they &#8220;believed that diseases were engendered by superfluities of the food&#8221;, a modern-sounding theory!</p>
<p>Enemas were known in ancient Sumeria, Babylonia, India, Greece and China. American Indians independently invented it, using a syringe made of an animal bladder and a hollow leg bone. Pre-Columbian South Americans fashioned latex into the first rubber enema bags and tubes. In fact, there is hardly a region of the world where people did not discover or adapt the enema. It is more ubiquitous than the wheel. Enemas are found in world literature from Aristophanes to Shakespeare, Gulliver Travels to Peyton Place.</p>
<p>In pre-revolutionary France a daily enema after dinner was de rigueur. It was not only considered indispensable for health but practiced for good complexion as well. Louis XIV is said to have taken over 2,000 in his lifetime.Could this have been the source of the Sun King&#8217;s sunny disposition? For centuries, enemas were a routine home remedy. Then, within living memory, the routine use of enemas died out. The main times that doctors employ them nowadays is before or after surgery and childbirth. Difficult and potentially dangerous barium enemas before colonic X rays are of course still a favorite of allopathic doctors.</p>
<p>But why coffee? This bean has an interesting history. It was imported in Arabia in the early 1500&#8217;s by the Sufi religious mystics, who used it to fight drowsiness while praying. It was especially prized for its medicinal qualities, in both the Near East and Europe. No one knows when the first daring soul filled the enema bag with a quart of java. What is known is that the coffee enema appeared at least as early as 1917 and was found in the prestigious Merck Manual until 1972. In the 1920s German scientists found that a caffeine solution could open the bile ducts and stimulate the production of bile in the liver of experimental animals.</p>
<p>Dr. Max Gerson used this clinically as part of a general detoxification regimen, first for tuberculosis, then cancer. Caffeine, he postulated, will travel up the hemorrhoidal to the portal vein and thence to the liver itself. Gerson noted some remarkable effects of this procedure. For instance, patients could dispense with all pain-killers once on the enemas. Many people have noted the paradoxical calming effect of coffee enemas. And while coffee enemas can relieve constipation, Gerson cautioned:</p>
<p>&#8220;Patients have to know that the coffee enemas are not given for the function of the intestines but for the stimulation of the liver.&#8221;</p>
<p>Coffee enemas were an established part of medical practice when Dr. Max Gerson introduced them into cancer therapy in the 1930s. Basing himself on German laboratory work, Gerson believed that caffeine could stimulate the liver and gall bladder to discharge bile. He felt this process could contribute to the health of the cancer patient.</p>
<p>Although the coffee enema has been heaped with scorn, there has been some independent scientific work that gives credence to this concept. In 1981, for instance, Dr. Lee Wattenberg and his colleagues were able to show that substances found in coffee—kahweol and cafestol palmitate—promote the activity of a key enzyme system, glutathione S-transferase, above the norm. This system detoxifies a vast array of electrophiles from the bloodstream and, according to Gar Hildenbrand of the Gerson Institute, &#8220;must be regarded as an important mechanism for carcinogen detoxification.&#8221; This enzyme group is responsible for neutralizing free radicals, harmful chemicals now commonly implicated in the initiation of cancer. In mice, for example, these systems are enhanced 600 percent in the liver and 700 percent in the bowel when coffee beans are added to the mice&#8217;s diet.</p>
<p>Dr. Peter Lechner, who is investigating the Gerson method at the Landeskrankenhaus of Graz, Austria, has reported that &#8220;coffee enemas have a definite effect on the colon which can be observed with an endoscope.&#8221; F.W. Cope (1977) has postulated the existence of a &#8220;tissue damage syndrome.&#8221; When cells are challenged by poison, oxygen deprivation, malnutrition or a physical trauma they lose potassium, take on sodium and chloride, and swell up with excess water.</p>
<p>Another scientist (Ling) has suggested that water in a normal cell is contained in an &#8220;ice-like&#8221; structure. Being alive requires not just the right chemicals but the right chemical structure. Cells normally have a preference for potassium over sodium but when a cell is damaged it begins to prefer sodium. This craving results in a damaged ability of cells to repair themselves and to utilize energy. Further, damaged cells produce toxins; around tumors are zones of &#8220;wounded&#8221; but still non-malignant tissue, swollen with salt and water.</p>
<p>Gerson believed it axiomatic that cancer could not exist in normal metabolism. He pointed to the fact that scientists often had to damage an animal&#8217;s thyroid and adrenals just to get a transplanted tumor to &#8220;take.&#8221; He directed his efforts toward creating normal metabolism in the tissue surrounding a tumor.</p>
<p>It is the liver and small bowel which neutralize the most common tissue toxins: polyamines, ammonia, toxic-bound nitrogen, and electrophiles. These detoxification systems are probably enhanced by the coffee enema. Physiological Chemistry and Physics has stated that &#8220;caffeine enemas cause dilation of bile ducts, which facilitates excretion of toxic cancer breakdown products by the liver and dialysis of toxic products across the colonic wall.&#8221;</p>
<p>In addition, theophylline and theobromine (two other chemicals in coffee) dilate blood vessels and counter inflammation of the gut; the palmitates enhance the enzyme system responsible for the removal of toxic free radicals from the serum; and the fluid of the enema then stimulates the visceral nervous system to promote peristalsis and the transit of diluted toxic bile from the duodenum and out the rectum.</p>
<p>Since the enema is generally held for 15 minutes, and all the blood in the body passes through the liver every three minutes, &#8220;these enemas represent a form of dialysis of blood across the gut wall&#8221; (Healing Newsletter, #13, May-June, 1986).</p>
<p>Prejudice against coffee enemas continues, however. Although this data was made available to Office of Technology Assessment it was largely ignored in their box on the procedure. They dismissively state &#8220;there is no scientific evidence to support the claim that coffee enemas detoxify the blood or liver.&#8221;</p>
<p>No medical procedure is without risk and OTA is quick to point out alleged dangers of the coffee enemas. For instance, they cite one doctor&#8217;s opinion that coffee &#8220;taken by this route is a strong stimulant and can be at least as addictive as coffee taken regularly by mouth.&#8221; This may indeed be true. Yet one wonders where the data is on this, and whether OTA would issue a similar warning about the perils of coffee drinking.</p>
<p>Another potential danger, they say, is physical damage to the rectum—&#8221;fatal bowel perforation and necrosis&#8221; which have been associated with &#8220;various other types of enema.&#8221; The risk of perforation comes from the insertion device used. At the Gerson clinic, for instance, they use a short nozzle which couldn&#8217;t inflict much harm; Gonzalez uses a soft rubber colon tube. In neither case would this caveat seem to apply. On thin evidence, OTA also suggests enemas can cause colitis.</p>
<p>The agency also cites the case of the two Seattle women who died following excessive enema use. Their deaths were attributed to fluid and electrolyte abnormalities. One took 10 to 12 coffee enemas in a single night and then continued at a rate of one per hour. The other took four daily. As OTA points out, &#8220;in both cases, the enemas were taken much more frequently than is recommended in the Gerson treatment.&#8221;</p>
<p>In general, coffee enemas are an important tool for physicians who try to detoxify the body. This is not to say they are a panacea. They certainly require much more research. But coffee enemas are serious business: their potential should be explored by good research—not mined for cheap shots at alternative medicine or derisively dismissed as yet another crackpot fad.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We have talked about hydrogen peroxide before.  As a <a href="http://www.sheilaulrich.com/blog/cancer-support.htm" title="cancer survivor speaker">cancer survivor speaker </a>I wanted to share this article on other uses of this simple, inexpensive product. </p>
<p>These are other ways to use Hydrogen Peroxide to Heal and Stay Healthy<br />
Hydrogen peroxide has helped many people fight off flu and colds and when drops are placed in the ear it seems to be effective four out of five times used. This is especially true if this is done promptly upon onset of symptoms.</p>
<p>The belief is that colds and flu viruses typically enter the body through the ear canal. This is contrary to popular belief that viruses are usually caught through the eyes, mouth, or nose. One way to greatly reduce the chance of becoming ill with colds and flu is to keep fingers out of ears. Even when we are mindful of this, these microscopic airborne germs often land in the ears anyway. Once the germs enter the inner ear, they breed and then have access to the entire body and can travel and make one sick.</p>
<p>But, when Hydrogen Peroxide is placed in the ears as early as possible when symptoms appear, within 12-24 hours healing results will usually become apparent. The Hydrogen Peroxide starts working almost immediately to kill the viruses. Bubbling will be noticed and there may even be some mild stinging as well. It should not be described as painful, though. After the bubbling subsides within a few minutes, drain one side and repeat with the other side.</p>
<p>This is also safe to administer to infants and children; however they may not like the bubbling and mild stinging. Be careful not to get Hydrogen Peroxide in the eyes and if this happens, flush immediately with water.</p>
<p>Hydrogen Peroxide also can help loosen impacted wax from ears. Soak the impacted ears with olive oil for several minutes first and then place the Hydrogen Peroxide in the ear(s).</p>
<p>Other Uses For Hydrogen Peroxide</p>
<p>Hydrogen Peroxide has many other beneficial uses as well. Make a clean, safe kitchen without exposing family members to harmful toxins by using a simple disinfecting spray. This will create an effective spray that will successfully kill bacteria and is also very cost effective.</p>
<p>Place 3% Hydrogen Peroxide (in the brown bottle) in a clean spray bottle and place either plain white vinegar or apple cider vinegar in another clean spray bottle.</p>
<p>These two sprays can be used to clean residues off of fruits and vegetables. Either spray first with the Hydrogen Peroxide and then the vinegar or the other way around. It does not matter which is first and neither is more or less beneficial. There will not be any lingering taste of either product and neither is toxic.</p>
<p>These sprays of Hydrogen Peroxide and vinegar also clean and sanitize counters very effectively. Any food preparation surface – including wooden cutting boards – will be sanitized by using these sprays.</p>
<p>By using these two products in sprays it is possible to virtually eliminate all Salmonella, E. Coli bacteria, and Shigella on even heavily contaminated foods and surfaces. This means that these sprays when used together are more effective at neutralizing these harmful bacteria than commercial cleaners and even chlorine bleach.</p>
<p>For best results, use one spray immediately followed by the other. This method is much more effective than using either spray alone and is also more effective than when the two products are combined together in one spray bottle.</p>
