The four steps to blatantly defy age

Aging: the great fear of almost everyone. Getting older, not in wisdom, or just years, but looking older, is an undesirable side effect of mortality. One day an elderly lady of 83 years sat in my office, and with a shaken look on her face say, “I just had lunch with the girls, (These were her grade school girlfriends. They got together every month and had done so for nearly 50 years.) and during lunch, I looked across the table at the other girls, turned to my friend and asked her, ‘Do they look as old as we do?’” She was very shaken. All of the sudden the double chin that had slowly been cultured on her neck, the myriad wrinkles, the swollen ankles, the sagging skin under her eyes overcame the twinkle in them. She was shocked. Fifty years of age had hit her in one sudden jolt.

So how do you elude this occurrence in life? Don’t have lunch with the girls. Yes, that would work. Drive really fast everywhere you go? That is another possible solution. Take up skate boarding after you go on Medicare. That is another possible way to escape aging. But let’s get serious. Are you really interested in living a long and highly active enjoyable life? Then let’s talk about the four core ingredients to an excellent quality laced with a heavy dose of quantity of life.

The grand secrets to long and happy life are the four P’s. Ingredient number one:

Peace: Finding peace and quiet in the midst of a troubled world is the first step to defying age. Do you see the negative in the tumult of the world around you or can you find the peace of possibility for good in every event? The steps that lead to this are contemplation, mediation and prayer. Contemplation is the willingness to look at life through your eyes, your heart and your gut. This requires we use logic, love and longing to see our current situation against a backdrop of the possible. Meditation is the course of stillness. It is the willingness to pause and be still, to stop telling yourself your story. Stop being a victim of life. Stop justifying, stop complaining, stop blaming and start accepting that you are who you are, and where you are because you choose it. This can be accomplished by formally meditating, or by just planning and allowing time, even fleeting moments of reality to penetrate the shell of fear we carefully build around ourselves. The more you allow this seeping in of reality the easier it is to become a cause in life rather than just another effect. Prayer is the next level of finding peace. Prayer is not contemplation or meditation; it is the conscious intent to communicate with the divine, or God, on God’s terms. Contemplation and mediation are solitary, like laying in a meadow on a sunny day, enjoying the sunlight to warm your face. Prayer is like learning to live with the earth and help it to lend of its abundance to support your lively hood. It is the equivalence of spiritual agriculture. Prayer requires reality and humility. It requires a willingness to set aside your own agenda to assimilate God’s will. Peace in life comes as we pursue the path of our highest potential. Unless we walk that path, we cannot find peace. Peace is the blending of our inner knowing that we are reaching toward our potential and the divine sanction of the same reality. Peace is not quiet nor stillness alone. It is a growing inner knowledge and a divine manifestation that you are reaching your potential.

Phun: How long has it been since you acted like a playing child? How long has it been since you jumped a rope, walked on a curb, balanced on one foot, laughed like a child, had someone tickle your ribs until you cried, let someone hold you and comfort you, jumped on your bed, or sat and colored a coloring book and didn’t stay within any of the lines? What do you do physical that you really love? It can be intimacy, ecstasy or just plain silliness. Let some light into your life and “lighten up” and have some physical phun. Exercise doesn’t have to be boring, difficult or hard. To be most effective it should be Phun, and you will get younger. What have you always wanted to do? Its never too late. Start now and work toward it. The harder it might be the better. Let us support you.

Phood: Give your body the right thing at the right time for the right reason, and your body will express its gratitude in kind with smooth skin, pliable strong muscles and a clear mind. Nutrition comes in many ways: food we eat, the things we put on our skin, the sun we get, the thoughts we think when we eat and how we blend with nature in our habits.

- You skin is an organ of assimilation and of elimination. Don’t put anything on your skin you couldn’t eat. Everything you put on your skin ends up in your body, or it blocks your bodies ability to absorb.

- Be grateful for each meal you eat. Express gratitude by offering a prayer of thanksgiving for the abundance we have.
- Eat with a good attitude. A family meal is always good for everyone. Take you time, eat slowly. Drink after your meal not during it (it dilutes digestive juices).
- Get a little sunshine every morning if you can. 10 a.m. sun is safe and beneficial. Start with very little, like 10 or fifteen minutes, then work up to half and hour a day. It is good for you in almost every way. Avoid burns. Don’t stay out so long that you need to worry about sun screens. Your body will be happier. It is best to be active while you are outside. A little perspiration cleanses the skin, while you feed it with pure sunlight.

Physical: Take care of your physical frame.
- Chiropractic adjustments are an essential ingredients to any health plan. It is the only organized system to free the nerve system of disorder called a Subluxation. This is a condition where the nerve system gets obstructed from its normal function by having the spine out of alignment. It only associates with pain about 20% of the time. Come in and have a nerve system check up to see if you have interference in your nerve system function. Your nerve system controls your energy, your immune function, and your has huge influence on your moods. Freeing nerve interference is one of the greatest paths to getting younger.
- Energy balance is vital to youthfulness and vitality. The Dao De Ching says that flexibility is life and rigidity is death. Maintaining your energy balance is a vital aspect to staying young, flexible and regaining lost health. Acupuncture is the preeminent system of energy balance. A simple test called the Acugraph test will show how balanced your energy is.

What is "Disease-mongering"

• A mongerer with a disease.
• When drug companies invent diseases to market or sell product.
• A disease that is incurable.

Answer= A practice dubbed by drug companies who invent diseases (or exaggerate minor ones) in order to market and sell more drugs, according to several new reports presented at a conference at Newcastle University.

"Disease-mongering turns healthy people into patients, wastes precious resources and causes iatogenic (medically induced) harm," stated Dr. David Henry of Newcastle University.

Dr. Henry said disease-awareness campaigns are often funded by drug companies, and may be aimed more at selling drugs than informing or educating.

Various reports at conferences contended that conditions such as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and "Restless Leg Syndrome" are heavily publicized and promoted by companies hoping to sell more drugs. Natural conditions such as menopause are defined as diseases. Risk factors such as high cholesterol levels or osteoporosis are presented as diseases in their own right.

Another report focused on shyness and contended that it is routinely presented as a social anxiety disorder to be treated with antidepressants.

Newly identified conditions such as "restless leg syndrome," -- a constant urge to move ones leg-- are presented as being much more common than they really are.

Experts at the conference urged everyone, including consumers and physicians, to become more skeptical about new drugs and drug marketing campaigns.

Shockwave treatment for kidney stones increase the risk of diabetes almost four-fold, according to a 19-year follow-up study conducted by the Mayo Clinic.

The study also found that use of the noninvasive technique which uses magnified sound waves to break up the stones, raises the risk of hypertension (abnormally elevated blood pressure).

Dr. Amy Kranbeck and her colleagues followed up on nearly 600 patients 19 years after they had the kidney treatments. They found that those who had the shockwave treatment were 3.75% as likely as others to have developed diabetes.

The researchers believe the increase in diabetes could be a result of damage from the shockwaves to pancreatic islet cells. The pancreas is the blast path of the lithotriptor.
