Go Giants!!

Being from New York as well as a fan of the Manning brothers, I'm excited to see the Giants in the Super Bowl again.  Because of all the media attention hitting Indianapolis this week, you may have missed some interesting stories that will affect your health.  Here's a hodgepodge of stories that I have been following this past week that may have passed your radar. 

1. The Fountain of Youth doesn't come from a pill, potion, or lotion.  Look what you can achieve, even at the age of 74.  Look what most will achieve by 74.  Check out the study HERE.

74 Year Old Triathlete.

74 Year Old Sedentary Man.

When you look at these pictures, the darker stuff in the middle is muscle.  The outer white layer is fat.  The bright white spot in the center is the bone.  On the triathlete, notice how much muscle, how dense the bone is, and how little fat is present.  With the sedentary man, notice how degenerate the muscle appears, how much fat is present, and how the bone looks dull.  You have power to achieve whichever result you desire.

2. For those that have attended my 'Think Before You Go Pink' seminars, you may be interested that the Susan G. Komen Foundation is cutting financial ties to Planned Parenthood.  I don't care what side of the political fence you stand on, you can't deny the truth about mammograms and breast screenings.  Have no idea what I'm talking about?  Read more HERE. 

3. Pfizer, giant drug manufacturer, may be responsible for 1 million 'oops' babies.  They mis-packaged birth control pills and have started a recall.  Unwanted pregnancies are the least of their concern.  Read THIS before you ingest another birth control pill or give one to your daughter.

There are many other stories like this each day.  My job is to help you see them, sort them, and interpret them.  Stay informed and see more health news that pertains to you and your family at my Facebook page. 

As my schedule gets filled up more and more with speaking engagements, my time for sitting down and writing and ranting decreases.  To get in on my seminars, click 'like' on the Facebook page or book a talk for your group. Here is a list of popular topics, some of which I'll be presenting to groups at MOPS, TOPS, and Natural Grocers in the upcoming weeks.  If you need a speaker, contact me HERE.  Thanks for being a T.R.U.E. Health leader in your community. 

Debt and Death by Thin Mint

There is a conspiracy that I’m hoping to crack that has the potential to take the economic woes of our nation even deeper and be a horrible threat to our national security. The worst part is that no politician on either side of the table has any idea it’s happening.  Could this mean they are all in on it too?

Do you remember the original Men in Black with Will Smith where he’s doing the shooting in the secret building and the only pop up he shoots is the cutout of the little girl in the dark alley with a quantum physics book?  My conspiracy theory is along those same lines.  It involves little girls that look innocent but carry a big weapon.  You might know those weapons as Thin Mints, Samoas, Tagalongs, or even Do-Si-Dos. 

 

All I can say is that you better be aware and you better be prepared.  It’s about to get real.  Those Girl Scouts are up to no good, in the name of doing good, which is the hardest conspiracy to uncover.  Weapon of choice?  A little innocent cookie that many have grown to love, crave, and even hoard.  I think the conspiracy is covered so well that the girls themselves and even their parents have no idea the ramifications of their contribution.

It all started almost a century ago.  The earliest mention of a cookie sale surrounding the Girl Scouts organization was in 1917.  Over the next few years, the momentum sky rocketed and in 1922, The American Girl magazine was published at Girl Scout national headquarters in Chicago. In the publication was a recipe given to the council’s 2000 Girl Scouts.  I’ve uncovered the ingredients of the recipe.  I have not included baking instructions as this information in the wrong hands could mean devastation (Paula Deen).

An Early Girl Scout Cookie^® Recipe

1 cup butter
1 cup sugar plus additional amount for topping (optional)
2 eggs
2 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder

Here’s the not-so-uncanny connection.  Insulin, the hormone to regulate blood sugar was also discovered in 1922 (in Toronto).  Could this just be a coincidence?  The same year insulin is ‘discovered’ is the same year the Girl Scouts put out an official magazine?  It’s like the Journal of American Medical Association.  Once thought a reputable research magazine, now shown to be a haven for pharmaceutical influenced research.

The Girl Scouts are a perfect cover up for a potential drug company who can profit off the marketing of insulin.  I’ve yet to discover the drug company responsible for this act of slow drawn out terrorism but because of the timing of the whole coincidence, I’m guessing they originate from Germany or maybe even Canada.  Those Canadians hate living in the shadow of the US.

    

By pedaling little girls to push sugar filled substances that are irresistible to the majority of the public, it provides the perfect ‘hook’ for people to get addicted to sugar and eventually wear out their pancreas.  What’s the savior?  Injectable insulin (only distributed by the mysterious drug company) so you can keep enjoying those little bundles of sugar without going into a diabetic coma. 

 

Fast forward almost 100 years and we are left with hundreds of thousands of innocent girls that don’t even know they are pharmaceutical reps in training.  The girls are having fun learning to run a business and practice confrontation.  A perfect non-profit front, much the American Society of ________(insert disease).  If they can sell cookies to absolute strangers, they can definitely push drug samples to doctors willing to take bribes of fancy meals, trips, and even cash.

With an administration that pushes for more tax payer funded health care to take care of all the diabetics we are left sicker and broker than ever before.  This is text book terrorism.  Ruining a country by making the citizens die early.  It’s just a manner of time before that 3 finger Girl Scout symbol turns into those three fingers on an outstretched arm in front of the little girl’s body.  Heil Shortcake.

  

We need a solution.  Obviously you can’t just start flipping over Girl Scout display tables outside of your local grocery store in the name of national safety (though I’ve been tempted).  People will think you’re crazy.  Instead we have to go about this civilized, in a non-discretionary manner.  It will be hard and take millions to join.   It’s simple but not easy.  You have to pass on buying that box of cookies.  Just walk by and don’t make any eye contact with those pig-tailed smiling faces.  You will have to do this twice, into the store and also when you exit.  Trials build perseverance.

 

What’s the benefit?  Consuming less cookies, especially Girl Scout cookies, means you have more control of the release of insulin in your body.  You have single handedly cut off funding for both streams of income for the terrorist group.  Without funding, they have no means for action. 

If you can control the insulin response, you drastically reduce, prevent, and reverse virtually every chronic illness from diabetes to cancer that threatens the economy and safety of this good ole nation.  We start spending less on disease, thus keeping taxes lower.   

Be strong, don’t get sucked into their propaganda that it’s genetic.  This is one of the early techniques taught to the young girls.  You have power, you have choice, you have a country to save.  Get out there and deny, deny, deny those cookie onslaughts.  Just remember you’re not in this alone.  FREEEEEEDDDOOOOMMMMMMMM!!!   

Winning!!! The Secret of Success.

Over the past few weekends has been some pretty good football.  Being from New York, I’m rooting for the Giants.  Living in Colorado, I was hoping to see the Tebow run keep going.  Fortunately, after this weekend, I can keep rooting for a team instead of just an experience they call the Super Bowl. 

 

One thing I think the sports commentators and all the analysts overlook is the definition of success.  In the sports world, winning is pretty much the only stat you want at the end of your career, so therefore it gets defined as the ultimate argument for success.  Winning is a value that is shared across the sports world (and Charlie Sheen).

When it comes down to it, there is probably less than 0.5% of you reading this that are making a living at playing a sport.  We went professional is some other realm of life.  It doesn’t matter if you are working at a company, for yourself, or as a homemaker, you are a professional at something. 

What’s difficult in the professional world of non-sports is that we measure our success like we would if we were playing a sport.  Did we win?  Did we win that argument?  Did we win by getting to the checkout lane faster?  Did we win by doing the least amount of work to get by?  Did our kid get the highest test score?  Every day is a secret competition. 

 

Competition is not a bad thing.  I hate losing more than I love winning.  When competition becomes bad is when our values are violated.  In pro sports, everyone values winning but they also value doing it fairly.  If a defensive lineman gets held going after the running back, he’s upset.  If a running back is tackled, there’s no problem.  If you bring him down by his facemask, there’s words and possibly a fight. 

 How does this apply for your life?  With well defined values, you have a compass for where you want to end up, (your destination or purpose).  How do you know if your values are going to get you to your destination?  You have to analyze your behaviors.  Show me your behavior, I can tell you what you believe.

Your behaviors are a direct result of your beliefs.  To have T.R.U.E. success, it’s not about whether you won.  Success comes from the absolute certainty that your values are congruent with your beliefs and that your beliefs are going to get you to your destination. 

When your values are inconsistent with your behaviors you will have destruction.  It’s inevitable. 

 

Don’t know what you value?  Do this simple list.  Write down the 10 characteristics you want your child to have as an adult.  This should be super easy.  These are your values.

The tough assignment is analyzing your beliefs.  Take 3 days (2 work days, 1 weekend day) for 8 hour stretches.  Every 15 minutes, have a timer go off and quickly jot down what you are saying or thinking.  This is what you believe.  

Now compare your value list to your belief list.  Do they match?  For example.  If you value kindness but one of your thoughts is that you wish your boss was dead, no matter how much a jerk he/she is, that’s incongruent and will lead to stress (toxicity and deficiency).  If you value health but you are enjoying an over sized piece of chocolate cake.  That’s an incongruency.  Once is not going to do much but how many people do you know that have only had 1 piece of cake in their life?

The easy solution to make sure you are living successfully is to match your values with your actions.  This is the win that matters most in life.  This is the win that stays current.  You don’t have to reminisce about the glory days.  Living congruently is living in the Glory Days.  Guess what, your season is never ending.  You get to play this game every day of your life.
