Mental Attitude:

Dream sweet dreams of me. Do you ever have difficulty sleeping? You’re not alone. Over 40 million Americans suffer from over 70 different sleep disorders and 60% of us say we have difficulty in the sleep department at least a few nights per week. Lack of sleep can really mess with your mind. Here’s what the experts recommend: Keep a regular sleep/wake schedule, Don’t drink or eat caffeine at least 4-6 hours before bed time and minimize daytime use, Don’t smoke near bedtime or if you wake up, Avoid alcohol or heavy meals before sleep, Get regular exercise, Minimize noise and excessive temperatures where you sleep, Develop a regular bed time and finally Try to wake up without an alarm clock. I hope this helps. Now go to sleep and don’t make me come in there. American Psychological Association August 2009

Diet :

Does sitting on this donkey make my ass look fat? The following foods have now been scientifically linked (in a 5 year study) to an increase in circumference of your waist. Pay attention. For men: diets low in fruit and red meat and high in snack foods were associated with waist increase. For women: diets high in potatoes, processed meats, snack foods and poultry caused an increase in waist management. On the other hand women who had high intakes of red meat, fruit, high fat dairy products and vegetables showed a decrease in waist enlargement. Go figure. Journal of the American Dietetic Association August 2009

Exercise :

‘Dat bone sounds funny. Athletes of all groups sometimes break bones. Ouch. New research shows a very effective way of testing a bone to see if it’s broken without using x-rays. Here’s how: Get a 128htz. tuning fork and a stethoscope. Vibrate the tuning fork on the suspected fracture. Put the stethoscope over the bone at the fracture sight. Listen. If you don’t hear the tuning fork sound ‘dat bone be broke. (An 81% probability) You should follow up with an x-ray at this point. If you hear the tuning fork there is a good probability that it ain’t broke (so don’t fix it). Journal of Athletic Training May – June 2009

Chiropractic :

Questions, I get questions. Our friend, Jeff M. asks,” What is the cause of Ankylosing Spondylitis and is there a natural remedy?” Man, another tuff question. Ankylosing Spondylitis is a spinal condition that is in the auto-immune family of arthritis’. We have no clue as to the cause but we think it may be genetic. It causes the spine and hip joints to “melt” and eventually fuse together. Pain and stiffness are the to biggest symptoms and it is diagnosed with a simple blood test for a genetic marker called HLA-B27. A natural approach is considered the best treatment although there is no known cure. First, keep moving. Exercise has been shown to decrease the stiffness and reduce the pain. Second, reduce the inflammation. I would suggest our Pharmaceutical Grade Omega 3 Fatty Acids (Available in our office). Lastly, Chiropractic care will keep the joints involved moving or if they are already fused then it will help keep the rest of the spine freely movable. I’ve had great results with A.S. patients. Surgery isn’t very effective and the high dose pain meds. the M.D.s give all have risky side effects. Hope this helps. Dr. Bell Ask me any question at dr.bell@att.net

Hold it between your knees. Birth control pills can kill the user. New research says that some are worse than others. Even with the best B.C. pill, there is a 4x increase in the risk of developing a serious or fatal blood clot. The best ones contain the chemical Levonogestrel with LOW dosage of estrogen. The worst is Desogestrel. The pharmaceutical companies that make these preg-not pills say ” The risks of not taking the pill including pregnancy and the complications of pregnancy may be worse than getting a blood clot.” They are on record as saying the deaths from these womb – broom pills are acceptable risks to them.

All expressions are the result of IMPRESSION, (Pressed Inward), within one’s mental being.

Im-pression is none other that I’m, (I AM), followed by whatever you believe in, which is the impression you create for yourself.

Every time you say I Am healthy, HEALTH EXPRESSES ITSELF or I Am sick, SICKNESS EXPRESSES ITSELF or

I Am Abundant,  ABUNDANCE EXPRESSES ITSELF or I Am poor, POVERTY EXPRESSES ITSELF.

It does not matter, whatever is IMPRESSED eventually is EXPRESSED.

Therefore be cautious on what is IMPRESSED, because it will sooner or later EXPRESS ITSELF. This phenomenon comes under the Cause and Effect principle.

I have asked God why there is so much suffering with humanity. Why could he not just wave his hand and make everything perfect.

He responded back with the following:

“Everything is already perfect, you are just not aware of it yet. Humanity lives in a world of its own making not my making, but you are already perfect although asleep. Anything you do is with perfection, as an example look at the wars you make on each other its done with perfection. If destruction is on your mind you create ways to destroy perfectly. However, your challenge is to restore earth into a paradise one person at a time. It begins with you,
everyone of you”.

“I know you can do it, I gave you everything you need, just follow the example of YahveShuah, (Jesus). Adam showed you how not to live your lives but YahveShuah did show you the perfect way to live. Now it’s up to everyone to make the choice. Individuals making the right choice will add momentum in the restoration of a peaceful co-existence on earth. Humanity is now at a point in its progression technologically speaking to return earth into a paradise or
deepen our misery”.

“By following Adam’s example of life you will deepen your misery, however if you collectively should choose to live your lives modeled after YahveShuah,(Jesus), humanity will begin to live in a Golden era of peace and harmony on earth”.

“Won’t you start now, don’t wait for your neighbor”.

Mental Attitude:

Can you see the forest? Let’s face it, times is tough. Psychologists say that even in todays economy we can be happy. How, you ask? Well, first start with money can’t buy happiness. They suggest we change our ideas on what it takes to make us happy. Money does matter but it seems we lose focus on the important things such as family and friends in good economic times. The economic downturn has caused us to simplify our lives by turning to those things that money can’t buy. They suggest we keep gratitude journals and record those things we are grateful for. Hope for tomorrow is also important. If your basic needs are met, happiness isn’t about money. American Psychological Association August 5, 2009

Health Alert :

Oops, my bad. Want to stay healthier? Then you had better stay away from hospitals. A new (old) report shows that our hospitals are “accidently” killing over 200,000 people a year through preventable mistakes. Ouch. This study says that this number is way low because “medical errors” usually aren’t reported as the official cause of death. The true number is much, much higher. In 2008 the original report asked congress to do something about reducing these “errors”  (People is errors). Congress immediately went back to sleep and not a damn thing was done. Only 20 states have reporting systems in place as of today (including California).This makes Medical errors the #1 cause of accidental death in the U.S.of A. You’ve been warned.

Diet :

My fat is sick. One reason we eat a good diet is to be healthier. Some of us are eating better to lose excess tonnage. If you fall into the second group then listen to this (The rest of you, at ease). Stress makes you fat. Say Wha’? Stress causes you to release a hormone called cortisol which causes your belly fat to “get sick”. Sick as in growing way out of control. This causes your Omentum to gain momentum and you are more likely to clog arteries, compress internal organs, damage hearts and on and on. Want to lose weight? Then chill, Dammit!

Exercise :

Exercise my what? We usually associate exercise with using our muscles. Researchers are now saying we should also exercise our BRAIN to ward off dementia that is associated with aging. How? Reading, writing, doing crossword puzzles, card games, board games, playing music or even group discussions all seem to help the ol’ brain exercise enough to chase dementia away. Hey, I can do that (and so can you!) Now drop and give me 20 games of scrabble. Neurology August 4, 2009

Wellness/Prevention :

Keep me a breast. Breast cancer is serious stuff. Researchers have made an interesting discovery in prevention of the “Big C” in women. The latest is that women should only diet intermittently to help reduce breast cancer. They took 3 groups of mice (relax it wasn’t Minnie Mouse) One group they let eat whatever they wanted, the second group they put on a permanent diet and the third group the made diet every once in a while. Here are the results: 71% of the eat whatever group developed cancer, 35% of the permanent diet group got it, yet only 9 % of the intermittent group got cancer. Wow. It all has to do with lower levels of insulin. Stay tuned fo’ mo’. Cancer Prevention Research August 2009

What is true prayer? Is prayer about waving a magic wand or saying a few magical words and then hoping for the best.  Or is true prayer about sincere effort in bringing on a personal transformation. Prayer is an invitation to us and an opportunity to move beyond our personal limitations.

The Hebrew word for prayer, comes from the root pallel, which means to inspect and therefore the implication is, an act of personal introspection. When we pray, we need to look within ourselves and ask, “What do I need to transform about myself in order to achieve what I really want out of life?” With sincere effort on our part, God can actually help to bring on change of our character and a new transformed “self” emerges.

Once our character is transformed and remains in line with our prayer we are no longer the same person who God said “no” to our yesterday’s prayer. The appropriate answer that God gives is “yes”, because now I am a transformed person. If who I am now is blocking me from receiving my good, then it seems correct that my prayer should be directed to God in helping me to overcome my blockage so that my good may freely flow into my life. God does not withhold our good from us if we are ready and capable to receive it graciously and responsibly.

What do you think? Is prayer about getting God to answer our every prayer or is it about God helping us to become transformed human beings? Become transformed by the renewing of our mind. Write to us and let us know what you think.  Mail your thoughts to Natural of Rocklin 4157 Rocklin Rd. #I Rocklin, CA 95677.

The nut doesn’t fall far from the tree. Do you have a history of drug abuse, anxiety, depression or alcoholism in your family? If yes, listen up. Researchers have just completed a long term study (29 yrs.) that shows your risk, prognosis and course of the illness if anyone in your immediate family suffers from any of these. The good news is that researchers are using this to become aware if early treatment or intervention may help those who have any of these illnesses in their family. God help us all.

Egg-xactly. The Food and Drug Administration is laying down the law when it comes to eggs. It seems that 79,000 people a year become sickened after eating undercooked or raw eggs contaminated with Salmonella. Some have egg-spired. The eggs become contaminated on the farm and new laws will require egg ranchers (?) to clean their facilities more often and actually check for Salmonella. Also, the eggs must be refrigerated at a new low temp. of 45 degrees and shipped within 3 days of being laid. I’m not egg-xagerating, I know I’ll sleep better knowing the F.D.A. is on the J.O.B.

Researchers have now discovered that both children and adults who watch T.V. that have commercials that showcase snack / junk foods will graze 45% more than those who watched the same show minus the commercials. This adds up to about 10 pounds extra per year. Want to lose weight? Tune out the T.V. (or Tivo). No word yet on what happens to those who watch The Food Channel.

Exercise :

The ankle bone is connected to the knee bone. The latest in research proves that people with Chronic Ankle Instability (a damaged weak ankle) tend to lose flexibility and to have “reduced dynamic stability” in the knee on that side.

This sucks. This just in: cupping helps with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. What the hell is cupping? Cupping is applying external suction to an area and has been used in Europe, Asia, The Middle East and Africa for ages. How it works isn’t clear, however, they puncture the skin over the neck 10-15 times and then apply a suction device over the area and viola, the symptoms begin to reduce (for at least a week-so far). This explains why vampires and teenagers rarely have Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Journal of Pain July 2009

Radiation Therapy & Surgery

As the “The Only Way” to Eliminate CANCER, JOHNS HOPKINS HAS BEGUN TO REALIZE THAT THERE MAY BE AN ALTERNATIVE WAY.

Cancer Update :

1. Most individuals have cancer cells in the body. These cancer cells in their initial stage  do not show up in medical tests until they have reached a large number and therefore become detectable.

2. In most individuals cancer cells naturally occur approximately between 6 to 11 times within a individual’s lifetime.

3. If an individual’s immune system is strong, the cancer  cells may be eliminated and may also be prevented from multiplying.

4. Most cancers in their multiplying stage indicates that the individual may have become severely nutritional deficient over the course of several years. Genetics%2C environmental toxins along with food and lifestyle factors have an impact on how the immune system will deal with the cancer in question.

5. It is necessary to keep the immune system strong by proper lifestyle, eating habits and daily supplementation as a daily routine to optimize immune function.

6. Chemotherapy & radiation while destroying cancer cells it destroys healthy cells as well which may lead to damage to bone marrow, gastrointestinal tract and organ damage%20that may lead to a compromised immune system that can lead to infections and other complications.

7. With chemotherapy and radiation cancer cells may mutate in which case they become resistant and difficult to destroy.

8. Surgery may cause cancer cells to spread to other satellite sites.

Does anyone ever ask why is my cholesterol high? Does anyone care to know the reason why cholesterol is so important that the liver has the duty to manufacture it and without this substance the human body would die.  Cholesterol is a type of fat that makes up our cell walls, hormones, nerves and much more. Saturated fats and cholesterol make the cell wall firm which is necessary to give form to the human body.

Approximately 20-25% of our bodies cholesterol is accounted for by the brain.  Cholesterol is vital for the  development of a fetus.  Cholesterol is so necessary that mother’s milk provides a certain type of enzyme that allows the baby’s digestive tract in absorbing as much as 100 percent of that cholesterol, because the developing brain and eyes of an infant require larger amounts of it for proper growth. Children deprived of cholesterol in infancy may end up with poor eyesight and brain function.

Cholesterol is a vital component for our nerve covering.  The myelin sheath around each nerve band is composed of approximately 20% cholesterol. loss or damage to this myelin sheath usually results in the disorder called multiple sclerosis.  When the human body is artificially prevented from manufacturing enough cholesterol our memory and mental capabilities are affected. It is common for individuals who take cholesterol-lowering medication, soon after begin to suffer with memory recall.

On average approximately 85 percent of blood cholesterol is mostly manufactured in the liver, while only 15 percent comes from food. Regardless of how much or how little cholesterol you eat in your diet, the human body will generally manufacture what it needed. Cholesterol is the basis in which the body’s hormones are made from, such as the adrenal and sex hormones.  Some health researchers suggest that adrenal exhaustion can be greatly reduced by increasing the fat and cholesterol in the daily diet.

Cholesterol is necessary for our immune system to function effectively. LDL-cholesterol, (low-density lipoprotein), the so-called “bad” cholesterol, negatively impacts and directly binds to inactivate dangerous micro-organism toxins. Individuals with higher cholesterol are less prone to infections and if they become ill, will usually recover faster then those who have lowered their cholesterol artificially.

So why is cholesterol necessary for health of the human body? The simple answer is that cholesterol is a balancing healing substance in the body. When the body requires healing and balancing, it manufactures cholesterol and sends it to the site of the damage.

The inside lining of our blood vessels are negatively impacted by toxic chemicals, free-radicals, infectious micro-organisms, or injury that results in micro-damage. The body’s response then triggers the liver to secrete LDL-cholesterol (the so-called “bad” cholesterol) to go to the area of damage and begin the repair process. Cholesterol becomes important in assisting the body to clear infection, remove toxic elements and heal damaged areas.

The correct way to view high blood cholesterol level, is to realize the body is dealing with damaged tissue or severely high stress. When the damage is repaired, blood cholesterol will on its own go down. However, if there is an ongoing disorder in the body that continues to inflicts damage to body tissue then blood cholesterol will register consistently high.

It is becoming common knowledge that cholesterol is one of the most important substances in the body. The human body cannot live without it or function well when artificially reduced with medications.Recent scientific research is finally showing strong evidence that cholesterol has been mistakenly blamed for several types of cardiovascular disorders.

It is erroneous to continue to assume that the solution to high cholesterol is to artificially reduce it with medication. It is more correct to view that high cholesterol is a symptom and not a cause. Realize that high cholesterol is a proper body response to a crisis. A part of the body being damaged.

It is a response, and therefore the cause must be sought out. Once the cause is effectively dealt with, cholesterol will normalize on its own.  Therefore, to treat high cholesterol as if it was the cause, is simply a mistake. High cholesterol is a symptom.
