			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Do you ever wonder why others treat you badly or wrong you in some way?  We often think it is something wrong with them and tend to blame.  How can we use it to benefit ourselves and our health?</p>
<p>Throughout our lives we have acquired behavior and actions as a result of our environment, from our parents, teachers, friends.  We may have watched our parents interactions and through them made assumptions about how to behave in a marriage and home.  We make assumptions on what is acceptable behavior and what isn&#8217;t.  Often we are quite unaware of how we take on others actions, until we find ourselves in a similar situation and we see ourselves acting just as our parents did.</p>
<p>We have to choices&#8230;be aware of it..take note and ask, Isn&#8217;t that interesting?  Why am I acting like that?</p>
<p>Or we can completely ignore it and continue living.  This behavior will continue to crop up in our lives and relationships until we take notice.</p>
<p>It is usually an emotion that you will feel that will grab your attention.  If anger or sadness or despair show up within you, it is a clear sign for you to take notice.  Our emotions are there to help guide us through our life, they serve a big purpose.  Emotions that you become aware of are also a great opportunity for you to shift and grow and be all you can be.</p>
<p>Recently I experienced this in action.  In a pleasant conversation, I made a causal statement that didn&#8217;t sit well with an aquaintance.  It stirred something in them and I was completely unaware of any emotion behind it.  They lashed out in anger and name calling.  I was stunned.  Isn&#8217;t this interesting?  What is this all about?</p>
<p>Immediately I felt the behavior was inappropriate and couldn&#8217;t believe someone would respond in that manner.  I felt sadness, confusion, and anger.  And then I remembered, this is an opportunity to look at my emotions and where they are guiding me.</p>
<p>All emotions are energy.  Everything is energy, our bodies, the universe, food, actions, etc.  If we choose to ignore the energy (emotion) where does it go?  We can sometimes store it within us.  This negative energy stored within us over time can cause lots of pain and suffering.  Blocked energy in our body is the source of disease.  Then in the future when faced with a similar emotion or situation, that energy we stored in our body can get activated and come streaming out of us. </p>
<p>Have you ever responded to something someone said something someone does in anger or sadness (or any emotion) and later wondered, Where did that come from?  Probably from stored past energy/emotion within you.</p>
<p>So I had an opportunity to look at this emotion within me.  Where did it come from?  Could I feel it in my body?  I felt it in my heart area.  Then I asked myself, has there been a time in my life where I overreacted and lashed out in anger or name calling?  And of course there have been times.  Then I felt this feeling and wondered what it would feel like it all that anger or name calling energy was gone.  It would feel free, light, compassionate and love.  I then filled my body with this energy of lightness and light and love.  I felt a change in my body and my emotions.</p>
<p>Every moment is an opportunity to grow into the divine beings we already are.  Disease is an opportunity to move from what we don&#8217;t want to what we do.  It is an opportunity to explore our emotions and our body and release all that is no longer serving us..</p>
<p>We are moving toward EASE in every moment.  Don&#8217;t let the moment pass by that you don&#8217;t take the opportunity to look at your emotions coming up and explore the stored energy within you.  As we move through this life we can release the pain and suffering we carry with us one moment at a time.  This is life.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Find the miracle in every moment and interaction&#8230;this is a beautiful example of why we are here!!</p>
<p>We don&#8217;t know how many lives we REALLY touch each day by the words we say or the little things we do, or the smile we carried on our face.  Truly the smallest actions can have a profound effect on another person.  Our lives are to be shared with all the living souls around us.  We are hear to express the love we are, in human form.  We are God expressed in a physical body.</p>
<p>We have the capability to change the world&#8230;.we have the capability to create peace&#8230;&#8230;we have the capability to have unlimited abundance.</p>
<p>Do you believe this?  Do you KNOW this?</p>
<p>Having faith is the deep knowing that all that we are experiencing is for our highest good.  We don&#8217;t have to doubt.  It is our birthright.  We just forgot&#8230;..remember who YOU are.</p>
<p>Live your life as a shining example of Gods love and the God you are.</p>
<p>This is a perfect example of the miracles created every moment and the change that is possible.</p>
<p>Please watch and then pass it on to all your friends.</p>
<p>Lets see how many lives we touch!!! much gratitude</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Greens for your health are critical and well documented over the last several years.  What are greens?  Why should we eat certain greens?  Following is a summary of some of the benefits and uses of greens.</p>
<p>Nutrition from green leafy vegetables and other greens is a major part of taking green drinks. For some, it’s the only reason to drink green. If this is your primary motivation for adding green to your diet, then look for products that focus on spirulina, chlorella, kelp and other seaweed, grasses, and grass juices (including alfalfa and watercress if possible). The most nutrient-dense of these ingredients are the kelps and seaweeds with spirulina coming in close second. Other nutrient-rich ingredients include bee pollen and royal jelly.</p>
<p>Better Nutrition<br />
Nutrition from green leafy vegetables and other greens is a major part of taking green drinks. For some, it’s the only reason to drink green. If this is your primary motivation for adding green to your diet, then look for products that focus on spirulina, chlorella, kelp and other seaweed, grasses, and grass juices (including alfalfa and watercress if possible). The most nutrient-dense of these ingredients are the kelps and seaweeds with spirulina coming in close second. Other nutrient-rich ingredients include bee pollen and royal jelly.</p>
<p>Alkalizing Effect<br />
There is a growing movement in enhancing the alkalinity of your blood pH. An alkaline blood pH is an unfriendly environment for disease and sickness, including cancer. In general, disease thrives on acid pH. Green leafy vegetables can help make your blood pH more alkaline. But not all of them. If alkalinity is your primary goal, then look for formulations that DON’T contain berries or fruits, green tea, and oils. The best ingredients for alkalinity are the veggie powders and leaf powders.</p>
<p>Antioxidants<br />
Antioxidants come in many colors and types and they generally work together for best results. So if you’re looking for a green drink with a complete antioxidant formulation, then look for green tea powder, milk thistle, and berries of all colors. Of course, there are others, but these will get you most of the way there.</p>
<p>Weight Loss<br />
Weight loss is a very popular reason for taking a green drink and some formulations are optimized for this purpose. In some ways, adding nutrition from green superfoods alone can help with weight loss, because feeding your body better nutrients will help to curb your appetite over the long run. However, there are other factors at work in a person’s eating habits, so if you want a green drink that helps you lose weight, then look for appetite curbing ingredients, such as artichoke powder and green tea powder (not extract); plus energy and metabolism enhancers, such as cayenne, ginger, ginseng, astragalus. Finally, certain bulking ingredients also help with elimination and weight control. These include lecithin, quinoa, and guar gum.</p>
<p>Immune Support<br />
Really, good nutrition and alkalinity are already immune supporting conditions. But if you want to focus even more on immune support, then look for green drinks with plenty of antioxidants and special herbs like pine bark extract, milk thistle, Echinacea, olive leaf extract, and dandelion leaf or juice. Exotic mushrooms also help the immune system, but not too many green drinks include them (sadly, due to their high prices).</p>
<p>Energy Enhancement<br />
If you want more energy, a green drink can be a wonderful substitute for a caffeine-loaded energy drink. Look for formulations that include green tea powder, Acai, cayenne, ginger, ginseng, pure cocoa, and/or loads of kelp and spirulina.</p>
<p>Substitute for Meals<br />
A substitute for meals is a lot like “Better Nutrition” but with more of a focus on variety of nutrients, plus calories and protein. Look for green drinks that have protein sources, such as chick peas, hemp powder, brown rice and broccoli. Also look for calories from seeds, nuts, and grains.</p>
<p>Conclusion<br />
As you can see, there are several reasons for taking a green drink and each one changes the way you shop for and compare these products. Here at greendrinkreviews.com, we try to take a neutral and balanced approach to the subject — and help people choose what’s right for them. Like we humans, not all green drinks are created equal.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As a cancer survivor who now dedicates much of my time to giving <a href="http://www.sheilaulrich.com" title="cancer support">cancer support</a>, I am often asked if there is a definitive cure for cancer. </p>
<p> &#8221;There are millions of options and many natural and alternative therapies that are proven to be very effective. There are many treatments available that have been effectively used by many people with cancer, but not the one magic cure everybody has been lead to believe there is. Heal one step at a time. I used many <a href="http://www.sheilaulrich.com/blog/Alternative-Complementary-Integrative%20Medicine.htm" title="complementary and alternative treatments">complementary and alternative treatments</a> for my stage 4 cancer and I am cancer free today.&#8221;</p>
<p>An understanding and acceptance of the body-mind-spirit interconnection and the use of alternative, complementary, and integrative medicine all played vital roles in my healing from cancer. There is no magic formula that works every time for every cancer, but there are many treatment options to use.</p>
<p>Ironically, there are some medical experts and researchers today who feel the odds are great that the cure for cancer has already been discovered and lost because of the absurd extremes of much of modern civilization&#8217;s way of testing out new drugs before they are allowed to be marketed. For instance, they say, if a cancer curing compound were found that would have worked in human beings, but when it gets tested in lab mice it doesn&#8217;t work or does them harm, the regulatory bodies won&#8217;t allow further development of that compound into a drug for people. This is exactly what some researchers believe has already happened.</p>
<p>But other researchers insist that cancer can be virtually cured and removed from society because it is really an unnatural manifestation. Ingredients in certain foods, poor lifestyle habits, and the use of tobacco and our toxic environment could all be done away with and cancer would just about completely disappear, they say. Given the fact that while it existed, cancer was extremely rare before the early 20th century in the developed world (some people have linked the beginning of its dramatic rise to greatly increased incidence of smoking and the use of hydrogenated vegetable oils in place of &#8220;fattening&#8221; butter), there seems to be a lot of merit in this argument, too.</p>
<p>Both arguments are likely to be right or largely right.<br />
Among those health researchers and medical experts who regard the latter argument above to be the right one, they point to modern societal traits like synthetic toxins such as crop pesticides, high levels of pollutants, the wide array of new and high-level stresses that modern people are subjected to, food low in nutritional value but very high in refined sugars and Omega-6 fats, lifestyles that rob people of sufficient sleep, and areas of poor air quality as all contributing to the parabolic rise of incidences of cancer in the last 50 years.  They would insist that if a person does the right things to alter their internal environment in such a way that they don&#8217;t have a body that is conducive to the runaway growth of cancer cells, that person simply cannot get or sustain cancer.</p>
<p>These researchers also grow more and more frustrated with a medical care industry that insists cancer needs to be treated and defined in strictly &#8220;classical&#8221; and conventional medicine terms and is full of scientists who turn deaf ears on arguments for the mind-body-spirit matrix or any alternative treatments for cancer. The orthodox medical establishment insists cancer&#8217;s beginnings in a person are largely a mystery, that one who doesn&#8217;t get cancer is &#8220;just lucky&#8221;, and a cure can only attempted once the signs of cancer have already manifested&#8211;and then there are no natural cancer treatments, they insist, but concoctions of potent synthesized drugs or radiation doses have to be used. Cancer prevention apart from not smoking or not getting too much direct exposure to the sun is out of the question to them.</p>
<p>Their efforts are bolstered by the ignorance of the general public which demands their kind of &#8220;cure&#8221; for cancer and thus creates a profitable market for their well-intentioned but largely delusional methods. Cancer speakers, and advocates around the world do what they do to try to get the public to demand something new and practice new ways of cancer prevention.</p>
<p>One instance of a new physical compound that people who are suffering from cancer should start demanding, because in research experiments it has been proven to be highly and dramatically effective, is Zeolite. This unique volcanic mineral is a powerful detoxifier, and it improves the alkalinity of the body (cancer patients have bodies that have become more acidic than they should be). Zeolite liquids and powders have also been shown to activate the P21 gene which signals a cancer cell to die.</p>
<p>The concerted use of alternative, complementary, and integrative medicine of physical, attitudinal, and mental natures is what we need to cure cancer.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sprouts are considered one of the most healing foods.  I used supplements of sprouts as <a href="http://www.sheilaulrich.com/blog/be-a-cancer-survivor.htm" title="cancer support">cancer support.</a></p>
<p>But what are sprouts?  If you are not into health and nutrition and follow the raw foods diets and community, you may not ever have had sprouts.</p>
<p>Sprouts are one of the worlds most powerful and nutritious super foods that nature has to offer. Sprouts are the beginning life of a plant; these baby plants are loaded with nutrients, minerals, vitamins, antioxidants, proteins, fats, phytochemicals, enzymes, water and chlorophyll. Sprouts have the highest concentration of these nutrients, vitamins, etc. than any other stage of a plants life. Sprouts are ALIVE and continue to grow for some time after they pulled. This period of growing continues to add more nutrients. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for the fruits and vegetables found in your local supermarkets. The nutritional benefits gained from eating fruits and vegetables decreases very quickly after being picked and more often than they sit in the stores for days, sometimes even weeks. Also, you can never really be sure that what you are eating is 100% organic, especially when the standards of organic are slowly diminishing.</p>
<p>Sprouts are packed with high levels of antioxidants (vitamins, minerals and enzymes. These antioxidants prevent or slow down oxidation which leads to damage to cells. Once this oxidation occurs, these newly formed, abnormal cells begin to reproduce. This oxidation can be attributed to aging and most of the diseases associated with living organisms. These antioxidants also stop the damaged caused by free radicals. Diets rich in fruits and vegetables lower the risk of cancers, immune disorders and other health ailments. Slowing down aging, preventing and treating diseases is a billion dollar industry and they are all trying to recreate what is already found in nature. These sprouts are the basis of life; they rejuvenate, reenergize and heal.</p>
<p>It is a common belief that the cells of a living organism require an oxygenated and alkaline environment to survive and reproduce properly. This idea was first introduced to us by the Nobel Price winning Dr. Otto Warburg. He found that cancer cells, bacteria and viruses could not survive in a body with high amounts of oxygen and also one which was slightly alkaline (above 7 on the pH scale). Sprouts happen to be a great source of oxygen and are also an alkaline food. Based on this belief, eating sprouts has a beneficial impact on fighting cancers and cleaning up the body.</p>
<p>Sprouts are loaded with enzymes. Enzymes are life’s force. Enzymes are catalysts for life and essential for all humans’ internal functions. Enzymes are destroyed with heat and processing, which is why a diet focused primarily around cooked food is linked to many health ailments. Raw foods are a great source of enzymes but just as the nutrients begin to diminish soon after picking, enzymes begin die if they are not connected to a life giving source (earth, trees, etc.). A very important aspect of enzymes is the aiding in digestion. The body produces enzymes used for digestion but when you eat foods high in enzymes the body has to use less energy because it doesn’t have to manufacture these enzymes. This principle makes sprouts very easily digested and assimilated by the body.</p>
<p>Sprouts are a great vegetable source of EFAs (Essential Fatty Acids) These fatty acids are extremely important for many of the body’s functions. Most people eat a diet very low in these EFAs which has a very negative effect on the immune system.</p>
<p>Sprouts are also very high in fiber. Fiber is important in a diet for a couple reasons. First, it helps with weight control because they are low in calories but very high in elements which feed the body. This gives you the sensation of being full after eating only a handful. It helps with constipation and preventing certain diseases such as cancer, diabetes, gallstones and kidney stones. This occurs because the fiber in sprouts soaks up water which softens stools and allows for easier elimination.</p>
<p>Sprouts have high levels of flavonoids, or bioflavonoids. Although most often associated with their antioxidant activity they also have the means to stimulate the mechanisms that destroy cancerous cells and stop tumor growth.</p>
<p>Sprouts are low on the Glycemic Index. This is extra important for people battling diabetes and/or hearth disease. The Glycemic Index ranks foods based on their effect on the blood glucose (sugar) level. The low ranked foods have subtle effects while highly ranked foods have dramatic effects on blood sugar levels.</p>
<p>Sprouts are comprised of high levels of chlorophyll. Chlorophyll refers to the green pigment that is found in plants. It has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and other health benefits. This chlorophyll is essential for the photosynthesis which is the process of obtaining energy from the light. Oxygen and carbohydrates are produced from water and carbon dioxide during the process. This is why sprouts have high levels of oxygen.</p>
<p>Sprouts are a natural detoxifier. They are exceptional at cleansing the blood, liver and other organs. Also, it’s a powerful chelator (removing heavy metals and other molecular toxins).</p>
<p>Sprouts contain phytochemicals. It has been suggested that phytochemicals can fight off cancer-causing substances and may even cure cancer.</p>
<p>It is recommended that you soak nuts and seeds prior to eating them. Even soaking them for several hours activates enzymes activity and increases nutritional content. As you can guess, sprouts which are soaked for several days are exponentially more powerful and rich in enzymes, vitamins, minerals, proteins, chlorophyll and so much more.</p>
<p>Sprouts compete with meats for amount of protein per unit of calorie. So if you ate the equivalent amount of calories of meat as you would of the sprouts, you would be getting far more protein. It’s more than that though because animal proteins are acidic, high in saturated fats, hard to digest, usually laden with hormones and other unnatural compounds and eating animal products in general have been linked to diseases including cancer.   from Sprout Living</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My good friend has been talking about getting a tray of sprouts every week and using them in her green juice drinks.  I was at her home and got to enjoy her green drink one day.  It tasted green like vegtables, not delicious, like I needed more, but tolerable.  I could drink it every day.  She loves it!</p>
<p>So I have been thinking more and more about the power of food.  A couple days ago, I wrote about the power of omega 3 and how the lack of them has really contributed to the cancer epidemic, I believe.  I am going to write more these next weeks on foods we all should be eating that are easy and we won&#8217;t vomit trying to eat.</p>
<p>I am going to start with the healing power of sprouts.  I did green drinks from supplements when I was healing from cancer.  I had a hard time with different tastes.</p>
<p>Fresh is always best, but I will include great supplement recommendations since I healed using them also.</p>
<p>There is an incredible healing power of sprouts.<br />
You&#8217;re no doubt familiar with the remarkable healing benefits of raw sprouts. Sprouts are nutrient-dense superfoods, and they&#8217;re loaded with enzymes, vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients. They even pack a potent anti-cancer punch: Many in the raw foods community consider sprouts to be the most powerful class of cancer-fighting foods in the world, and eating raw broccoli sprouts every day, for example, bathes your body&#8217;s cells in a healing stream of anti-cancer nutrients.</p>
<p>The Sproutein product from Sprout Living is brand new, just released days ago. It&#8217;s USDA Organic and 100% raw. It contains absolutely no fillers, chemical sweeteners or additives of any kind. Here are the ingredients:</p>
<p>Freeze Dried Sprout Powders (Sunflower Sprouts, Amaranth Sprouts, Millet Sprouts, Flaxseed Sprouts, Kale Sprouts, Quinoa Sprouts, Mung Bean Sprouts, Alfalfa Sprouts), Hempseed Protein Powder, Goji Berry Powder, Black Maca Root Powder, Yacon Root Powder, Lucuma Powder</p>
<p>As astute nutritionists will note, the yacon root and lucuma powder add a touch of sweetness to the formula. The maca root gives a bit of energy, and the goji berry powder offers a wealth of health-boosting phytonutrients.</p>
<p>The kale sprouts, alfalfa sprouts, sunflower sprouts and flaxseed sprouts are all powerful anti-cancer superfoods that many people have used to actually cure advanced-stage cancers. The number of people curing cancer on a raw foods diet is simply astonishing, by the way, and sprouts are one of their main foods.</p>
<p>The flaxseed sprouts offer healthy omega-3 fatty acids, and the quinoa sprouts offer healthy, full-spectrum protein. Together, it&#8217;s an impressive formula that really delivers hard-core nutrition to those who want a nutrient-dense form of protein in their diet.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You are special.  No one in this world is just like you.  You came here to share your gifts and talents.  Don&#8217;t shrink.  Don&#8217;t make yourself small.  Be the YOU that you are meant to be.  BE SPECIAL!</p>
<p>My friend Ray sent me this. </p>
<p>I reckon this should probably be taped<br />
to every ones  bathroom mirror<br />
where we could read it every day.<br />
You also may not realize it,<br />
but it&#8217;s 100% true.</p>
<p>1 There are at least two people in this world<br />
that you would die for.</p>
<p>2. At least 15 people in this world<br />
love you in some way.</p>
<p>3. The only reason anyone would ever hate you<br />
is because they want to be just like you.</p>
<p>4. A smile from you can bring happiness to anyone,<br />
even if they don&#8217;t like you.</p>
<p>5. Every night, SOMEONE thinks about you<br />
before they go to sleep..</p>
<p>6. You mean the world to someone.</p>
<p>7. You are special and unique.</p>
<p>8. Someone that you don&#8217;t even know exists loves you.</p>
<p>9. When you make the biggest mistake ever,<br />
something good comes from it.</p>
<p>10. When you think the world has<br />
turned its back on you, take another look.</p>
<p>11. Always remember the compliments you received.<br />
Forget about the rude remarks.</p>
