I AMBy Tom Shadyac

Since What the BLEEP Do We Know!? in2004, we’ve seen the release of a variety ofspiritual/transformational films. None so farhas crossed over to bring the truth of ourOneness and the power of consciousness tothe massive mainstream audience. “I AM”may very well be the first!

Tom Shadyac is one of Hollywood’s mostsuccessful writer/directors. His films —including Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, TheNutty Professor, Liar, Liar, and Bruce Almighty— have grossed nearly $2 billion worldwide.

Shadyac created “I AM” after sufferingfrom post-concussion syndrome, theuntreatable, incurable result of a bicyclingaccident. With symptoms that included anintense and painful reaction to light andsound (the tools of his trade), severe moodswings, a constant ringing in his head, andothers, he knew his life was over. The worstaspects of this: there is no successful treat-ment for PCS — and it may never go away.

“If I was going to die,” he reflected, “whatdid I want to say before I went?” Suddenly, itall became very simple and very clear. “Iwanted to tell people what I had come toknow … and explore these two questions:‘What’s wrong with the world?’ And ‘Whatcan we do to fix it?’” After months of isolation,with no visitors and virtually no communica-tion with the outside world, suddenly, unex-pectedly, Tom’s PCS symptoms began torecede. When he improved to the point wherehe could actually tolerate travel, he decided tograb a camera and a film crew of four and starta journey to find the people who had helpedhim question the life he had been leading andtry to learn and understand more.

What he discovered, though, when hebegan to look deeply, was that the world hewas living in was a lie. The game he hadwon at, which he thought would help toheal the world, might very well be what wasdestroying it.”

“Is there a hidden problem underneaththat causes all the problems of humanity, all

the problems of our world?” Shadyac askedas he pursued production of “I AM,” the newdocumentary feature that resulted from hisexploratory journey.

There is, he determined: it is the separa-tion of ourselves from the natural world…and the implications of that separation

What can we do to fix the world? Shady-ac suggests we start by fixing ourselves.“Mother Teresa never thought about solvinghunger or poverty,” he recounts. “She saw asick, hungry person and reached out to help.

What’s needed is an awakening of one’s ownheart, a personal transformation. Our outsideworld is just a manifestation of what we’reholding inside. So the work is on ourselves.”

This is a gorgeous film. Shadyac narratesand appears with wit, wisdom, intimacy, andconclusive information that has the power tosave lives and, potentially, our world. Hispersonal story is provocative and inspiring… truly transformational The story reads likean inspiring Hollywood screenplay … but itreally happened … and it’s still happening!

Day in and day out eating a rainbow of col-orful foods will provide you with bright skinand teeth, shiny hair and strong nails, and thesecolorful foods contain the keys to health andoverall wellness. Each color offers an array ofminerals, vitamins, and antioxidants. Make themost of this spectrum to become the healthiestyou can be.

RED – Many foods that are red are full ofpowerful antioxidants such as lycopene, ellagicacid, Quercetin, Hesperidin — plus beta-carotene, a plentiful carotenoid. Antioxidants

protect cells from oxidative damage andthe effects of free radicals. These mole-cules are produced when your bodybreaks down food or by environmentalexposures such as tobacco smoke andpolluted air. Free radicals can damagecells and have a role in other diseases such asheart disease and cancer. Red-colored foodscan help maintain heart health, vision, immu-nity, lower blood pressure, support joint tissue,and further reduce the risk of cancer, to name afew. Reach for red by choosing fresh tomatoes,red peppers, beets, radicchio, red apples andpears, cherries, watermelon, and red onions.

ORANGE & YELLOW – These deep coloredfoods contain phytonutrient carotenoids thatare good for the eyes and zeaxanthin,flavonoids, lycopene, potassium, and vitaminC. The nutrients in orange and yellow foods

reduce age-related macula degeneration,reduce LDL (the Lousy one) cholesterol, lowerblood pressure, promote collagen formation forhealthy joints, and also fights free radicals.Carrots are another source for beta carotenewhich turns into vitamin A, helping to promotenormal and night visions. And remember toinclude beans and legumes, whole grains,yucca, parsnips, plantains, melons, bananas,and apricots, plus many more.

GREEN – Rich with chlorophyll, fiber, lutein,zeaxanthin, calcium, folate, vitamin C, andbeta carotene (the green color covers over the

orange that is usually associated with betacarotene containing foods), green foods areabundant in antioxidants. Chlorophyll containsprotein with the same structure as hemoglobinmaking it very desirable. Besides boosting theimmune system, normalizing digestion, andlowering blood pressure, green veggies are highin important fiber and minerals. Go for thegreen with kale, asparagus, spinach, broccoli,romaine lettuce, and arugula. Also rememberavocadoes, Brussels sprouts, zucchini, peas,leeks, cabbage, endive, and green peppers.

BLUE, INDIGO & VIOLET – These foods arerich in flavonoids which are the most abundantand powerful of all the phytochemicals con-tained in the foods we eat. Over 4,000flavonoids have been identified includingflavonals, flavones, isoflavones, catechins,anthrocyanidins, many of which are found infruits, vegetables, and many types of beveragessuch as tea, wine, and all-fruit juices. The manybeneficial effects flavonoids have been reportedto include antiviral, anti-allergic, anti-inflam-matory, anti-tumor, and antioxidant protection.Foods that contain this deep color include blue-berries and blackberries, plums — both freshand dried (prunes), raisins, purple and blackgrapes, purple cabbage, eggplant, and purplepotatoes.

WHITE – I have to mention all the yummy-for-you white foods which contain beta-glucansand lignans, nutrients that provide powerfulimmune support and active natural killer B andT cells. These nutrients reduce the risk of manycancers, and help to balance hormone levels.Included are mushrooms, onions, garlic, pota-toes, turnips, cauliflower, ginger, garlic,bananas, and pears to list some of the easy tofind foods to use daily.

How Does Astrology Work?

Once the initial calculations have beenmade for a birth chart, the complexity

of patterns and combinations are examined.No two horoscopes are alike, nor are anytwo people. Horoscope columns generalizeinterpretations to a Sun sign and in turn warpwhat astrology really can accomplish.Unfortunately general horoscope columnsadd a lot of weight to astrology’s reputation. Itis for this reason many still believe astrologyis a lot of generalized prophecy and humor-ous anecdotes as accurate as a fortune cook-ie, and about as useful. I have always inter-jected the planets and their positions into my

own horoscope writing and used Ascendingsigns rather than Sun signs in the hopes ofeducating and intriguing readers into learningmore about real astrology. I much prefer giv-ing consultations to clients, and don’t havetime to write columns anymore.

In reality, the study of astrology requirestremendous amounts of mathematical calcula-tions and practice to even scratch the surface ofhow an astrology chart ‘works’. The paths andmotions of the planets have been documented,and through observation and experience, cer-tain trends have been assigned to each of theirphases and patterns. The calculations are thefirst step in chart examination. In order to inter-pret a chart for example, an astrologer must be

well versed in mythology, the life cycles ofmankind, and in terms of horoscope interpreta-tion, have a great sensitivity to human psychol-ogy and the breadth of human life and its expe-riences. It is a consulting astrologer’s goal toexplain comprehensively and with sensitivity aclient’s life circumstance and to be able toadvise them accurately along their path, as wellas give support in the event of a dilemma or lifecrisis. The branch of astrology called ‘mundane’astrology (from the Latin word Mundus mean-ing World) covers world events through thecycles that repeat in history in and these arevery valuable for us as a nation to know what iscoming down the road. Both world and politi-cal astrology will be covered in my Astro-Economics of the Next 10 Years Workshopwhere I will also be looking at charts of atten-dees from a financial perspective in our currenteconomic environment. See you at the Expo!

Diana Brownstone is a certified professionalconsulting astrologer through the NationalCouncil of Geocosmic Research (NCGR) andhas given personal consultations since 1987.She has appeared on countless local and nation-al TV shows such as The Today Show,FoxNews.com, MTV, EuroNews and has spokenfor NCGR, Astrological Society of PrincetonNew Jersey, Mystick Journey Radio and others.Her predictions for the music industry appearedin the January/February 2011 Edition of SPINmagazine.

What is Astrology?

ASTROLOGY IS PERHAPS THE OLDEST FORM OF SCIENTIFIC STUDY.It is ironic that so many people try to debunk astrology, when really that is impossible. Howcan you deny that the study of the stars and the motion of the planets take place? The fieldof astrology both in practice as well as academic study is growing by leaps and bounds. Andthe recent news blitz over the Constellation Ophiuchus got a huge amount of attention onthe technical aspects of how astrology actually works. As they say, no publicity is bad pub-licity! Astronomers bring up this ruse every few years, and I will be explaining all aboutOphiuchus and why it is not a sign at my free lecture at the Expo. The Kepler College inShoreline, Washington has been up and operating since 2000 offering fully governmentaccredited Bachelors and Masters Degrees in astrology and related fields. The groundbreak-ing bestseller "Cosmos and Psyche" by the Harvard educated philosopher and cultural his-torian, Richard Tarnas, PhD is a must read for all 'skeptics'. In May 2008, the following arti-cle appeared in the Seattle Times stating, "You only have three people in the whole countrywho can make decisions, one of whom is the astrologer of the senior general," a foreign aidworker said. It is well known that the Reagans used an astrologer, as did Lady Diana amongother notable public figures. As in medieval times, it isn't too far-fetched to thinkastrologers will be sought out more openly and will be again as highly respected as theworld leaders who use their expertise both for timing and decision-making.

M y offering is wholeerson enlightenment. This meansrefining the physical, emotional,mental, and spiritual bodies sothat we may transcend them andknow the truth prior to the mind.In this context the personality is acase of mistaken identity. Most ofus live in a self-induced trancethrough which we believe we areour stories of our past, present,and future. We identify withthese stories; and all these storiesblock us from liberation. Part ofthe work of liberation is to freeourselves from our stories. This iswhy I created the Zero Pointcourse (a Western jnana yogapractice), so that students can seehow they have built a lifestyleupon their amnesia of the truth.This amnesia is perpetuated byour identification with the per-sonality and is born from ourbelief in our “I Am-ness”. Upon recovering from amnesia wenaturally realize that there is only God and no separation fromGod. In the Torah way it is “ayn zulato” – There is only God. Inthe Vedas it is “tat tvam asi” – I Am That. This process beginswith our birth into the matrix that deludes us into believing thatwe were once born and will someday die. This “I Am” arisesfrom and creates the illusion of birth and death. The unawak-ened life is based on the idea of “I Am-ness”. This belief is theprimordial memory that we mistake for who we are. Throughthis “I Am-ness” the world and the body come into existence.The mind, then, which is unreal, becomes an egocentric noosearound our necks that keeps us from awakening to the truth.The mind, as “I Am-ness”, is what is born, but it is not who weare. The world becomes our mind, and the mind is merely acollection of vrittis (thoughts) and vasanas (tendencies) that wehave accumulated over the course of our many rebirths. In this

interesting way, memory activatesour forgetfulness of who we real-ly are. In ceasing to identify withthe concepts of our minds, weare able to let go of the myth ofour “I Am-ness”. In liberationthere is no attainment; there isonly the recognition of what weare not, and the experientialawakening to the truth prior tothe mind. This truth cannot beknown through the mind,because it is a direct knowingprior to the mind. Because ofthis, that which we “know” aswho we are can never becomeliberated. Liberation happens asan act of grace when the glassceiling of the mind shatters.

For the type A personalities, itis a hard lesson to realize that wecannot technique our way toGod. Techniques and religiouspaths often are mistaken as real

and, if misunderstood and misused, fill our minds with moreconcepts. We can, however, build a sattvic (holy) – kedusha(holy) foundation, which prepares us to transcend the mind.Pure, plant-source-only food supports our realization process,as it creates a quiet “body/mind/I am complex”, that becomesa superconductor for the Divine. However, we cannot eat ourway to God. However, appropriate diet is a key preconditionfor transcending the mind. As Ramana Maharshi basicallysaid, “When we eat pure food, the mind becomes quiet andthe knots of the heart become untied.” What we eat is both acause and a result of our consciousness. A tamasic diet (junk-food, flesh, eggs, and fast food) creates and maintains a veil ofignorance. A sattvic diet (organic, pure, fresh, live, plant-source-only foods) brings us inward to our Self. A rajasic diet(high quality, fresh flesh foods, cooked vegetables and fruits,coffee, dairy, and stimulants) creates stimulation and activity.

Whole PersonEnlightenment

By Rabbi Gabriel Cousens, MD, MD(H), DD



(Because of environmental pollution and the desecration ofthe sacred feminine in the factory farming of cows, dairy canno longer be considered sattvic.)

In a human birth we are given the opportunity to becomeenlightened. In this process our own samskaras and animalis-tic tendencies need to be purified. An animal based diet is ablockage to the spiritual awakening process, and, as I explainin Spiritual Nutrition, an explicit sludge to the flow and awak-ening of the kundalini. These kundalini sludge builders includemeat, fish, chicken, and dairy. The enlightenment diets of theRishis, the Garden of Eden diet of Genesis 1:29, and the diet ofthe Taoist masters were organic, live, and plant-source-only.They consumed no flesh. One of my two liberated gurus,Swami Prakashananda, made the importance of a plant-source-only diet clear when he said to me, “When you kill ananimal you create pain, cruelty, misery, and fear. That pain,cruelty, misery, and fear enters your body and becomes embed-ded in your mind and body, and fills you with fear, anxiety, anddisease.” Animal based foods create chaotic vibrations thatvibrate the mind into imbalance. This is important when oneunderstands, as Patanjali taught, “Yoga chita vrtti nirodhah”(Yoga is stilling the activity of the mind). A still mind is a mostimportant and fundamental part of the liberation process.

Eating flesh always involves the element of cruelty, which isobviously a degenerate quality. We can say that the Vedasclearly teach vegetarianism because there is no Veda that doesnot mention ahimsa. “Ahima paramo dharma” means, “Thegreatest dharma is ahimsa”. Ahimsa means actively living asnon-harmfully as possible. Non-violence creates a space oflove to manifest, and a meat-centered diet does not createlove, because it is based on violence. Animals do not willing-ly line up to say, “Take my body parts for your soup”. TheTorah says, “Do unto others as you would have done to you.”It does not specify gender or species. If you would not want tobe eaten, you’d be wise not to eat another. The word asanameans our seat upon the earth. Asana is how we sit (live) inthe world, in relationship to the earth and all her manifesta-tions. When we eat an animal based diet not only do we dam-age our own consciousness creating chaos in the mind andbody, but we impair our health, that of humanity, and the liv-ing planet in a number of ways.

The Great Torah Way of the Ten Speakings and the yogicyamas and niyamas give us another level of spiritual insight intothe profound violations to animal life flesh-eating creates.

“Thou shall not steal”ASETYA: Animal agriculture steals soil, air, water, and life

from the living planet and future generations. It is also theft ofmilk, bodies, skin, fur, and natural lifespan.

“Thou shall not murder” AHIMSA: Isaiah 66:3 teaches, “He who kills an ox is like

him who slays a man.”

“Thou shall not lie”SATYA: Animal agriculture has created a world-wide denial

about factory farming and cruelty to animals and how they areturned into soulless products.

“Thou shall not commit adultery”(Which in the Hebrew original meaning was sexual perver-

sion, as I explain in my soon to be released book Torah As aGuide to Enlightenment.)

BRAMACHARYA (sexual purity): Animals are violated withforceful artificial insemination of cows, chickens, etc., as wellas sperm stealing by hand manipulation and castration.

“Thou shall not covet”APARIGRAHA (greediness): A meat-centered diet is a

major hoarding of water, land, air, and energy resources. In the Torah tradition there are many good deeds (mitzvot)

related to eating. We are taught the miztvot (good deed) of“pikuach nefesh”, meaning, “protect life”. We are also taughtsh’mirat haguf, meaning, “preserve health and the body”. Thesetwo mitzvot encourage people to eat a healthy diet. Torah explic-itly forbids tsa'ar ba'alei chaim, meaning “cruelty to animals”. Wepractice tzedaka (charity) through vegetarianism, because if meat-eaters would reduce their meat consumption by just 10%, therewould be enough food to feed the world’s starving (approximate-ly 40-60 million people starve to death each year, and the 42,000children who starve to death each day). If everyone went plant-source-only, there would be enough food to feed the world pop-ulation seven times over. The principle of “bal tashchit” imploresus to create no waste of life or waste of ecology and therefore topreserve ecology. The teaching of “shalom” is peace facilitated bynot creating death and cruelty by eating animals. If this dietarykedusha (holiness) is lived then deveikut and chey’rut (God merg-ing and liberation) is supported. The higher teaching of kashrutmeans creating holiness in how we extract energy from nature inthe form of food.

This teaching is for those in whom avidya (the veil of ignorance)is beginning to lift, and whom are able to let go of their animaldesires, and fix their focus on the non-causal love, bliss, peace,contentment, compassion, and oneness of enlightenment.

As we move closer to 2012 and Earth’s shift to a fifth dimensional vibration, we are going through a conscious-

ness quality control check and wake upcall of major proportions. The energypreparing us for what is both a physicaland consciousness upgrade for the Earthand for humanity, is literally shaking looseour ‘stuff’. The patterns of thinking, attitudeand belief that we believe defines us asindividuals.

People are experiencing a rollercoasterride of rapidly surfacing thoughts and emo-tions. Core beliefs are being challengedand if we don’t deal honestly and from theheart with each other and with life,beware!

What is happening is that in prepara-tion for Earth’s ascension, powerful ener-gy vibrations are emanating from thecenter of the galaxy and bombardingEarth with ever increasing intensity. Thisincoming energy is part of a divine planto prepare the Earth for fifth dimensionalchange. As human beings, we are also ofthe Earth. We are also being prepared forlife on a fifth dimensional planet. Thetenets of fifth dimensional life are peace,love and unity consciousness and tomake it on a fifth dimensional Earth weneed to change the way we think and

come from a placeof peace, love andoneness.

However, as weal l know, th is canbe a challenge in 3-Dland!

Affirmations andother consciousnessr e v a m p i n g t e c h -niques help us staypeaceful and loving,but the ‘greml ininside’ can still rearits head. What is itthat blocks us frombeing the husband,wife, lover, friend,mother or father wewould like to be ifonly we weren’t sobusy, crabby, power-

less, unloving and self critical?Where do these feelings come from that

seem to arrive out of nowhere, trip us up andthrow us flat?

For many years my work has focusedon helping people clear distorted energypatterns called karmic miasms from theirenergy fields. Karmic miasms are theblocked energy vibrations that are thevibrational residue of past life thoughtand belief that we ourselves created i np r e v i o u s l i f e -times in response toexperience, usuallytraumatic.

In the course o fworking with hun-dreds of people over15 years I have foundthese distorted vibra-tions on all levelsof a person’s energyanatomy, especiallywithin the roots andfacets of the chakras.It is a fact that theenergy vibrations inour energy f ie ldsdirectly affect ourthoughts, beliefs andl i f e exper iences .

They directly impact on who we thinkwe are and they directly affect the func-tioning of the chakras. Energy flowthrough the chakras in turn affects ourpsychological makeup and the pranic orlife force energy available to our physi-cal body.

In my opinion, it’s not our childhood, orwhat our parents did or didn’t do that affectsus most in creating self sabotaging behav-iors. I have found it to be predominantly theenergy vibrations that we, ourselves havecreated in response to some past life emo-tional pain or trauma.

These thought and emotion vibrations ofthe past have over time become part of oursoul’s vibrational resonance. When wecame into incarnation in this life they alsobecame part of our ‘morphogenetic fields’,the substrate patterns of sound and lightupon which our physical, emotional andmental bodies were created and mademanifest.

Let’s look at a couple of possible pastlife scenarios. Imagine that in a previouslifetime you were a healer, maybe awoman trying to help others during thewitch hunts of the 15th and 16th cen-turies and subsequently drowned, or evenburnt at the stake for your efforts. Thethoughts, feelings and beliefs that you,yourself created in response to such trau-ma has inevitably left its mark. In subse-

CleaningYour

Karma

WithSoundBy Judy Satori


quent lifetimes you may have felt mistrustful of others, notwanting to express your gifts and talents, may not trust yourown judgment and be self effacing and diffident. You may alsohave reacted differently and became a rebel in future lives,scoffing at society and feeling reclusive and alone. Or, imaginethat you were a knight riding off to war, only to discover whenyou arrived back at the manor it had been burned to the groundand everything and everyone you loved had been destroyed.The anger, despondency and grief you presumably felt did notmysteriously depart from your consciousness at the end of thatlife unless you made a conscious effort to heal and clear yourfeelings. The unhealed karmic miasms literally morphed intobeing part of the soul that is now you.

Sometimes in my work I notice that people are holding thethought projections of others stuck within their energy fields. Thisform of karmic miasm is not theirs, it does not originate from them,but it can influence and dominate the psyche of an individual longafter the actual initiating trauma.

Have you ever had a stressful experience to which you reacted inan ‘over the top’ way? Other people may not have turned a hair, butyou became very emotional and very upset? This type of reactionoften springs from a past life ‘trigger’ being reactivated.

How do we clear many lifetimes of karmic miasmic patterningonce and for all and let go of limiting beliefs, attitudes and emo-tional responses that sabotage us and make life more challengingthan it needs to be? It is important for our ascension.

Each thought that we create, whether in this life, or a previoustime, resonates with a certain vibration or tonal frequency. Thoughtsare energy and energy is sound, color and vibration.

Together with Spirit I have developed a‘Karma Klear’ programand on my website www.TheSoundOfLight.com I have manyfree, or by donation audio Mp3 downloads designed to clearkarmic miasms.

The audio sound tracks are a form of ‘Light Language’, very fastfrequencies of sound, light and vibration that rapidly clear the ener-gy patterns of repetitive and sabotaging thoughts and emotions thatare locked into your energy anatomy and cellular memory.

The audios work rather like homeopathy by canceling out andclearing these discordant energy patterns by like vibrationaffecting and clearing like vibration. To use these sound tracks Isuggest choosing one audio and listening to this three times atone session for seven days. To have the healing go deeper, trynine times at one session for a few days after the seven day planis completed.

Drink lots of water and don’t be concerned if the thoughts andfeelings become worse for a day or so. You will be going through athought and emotion detox so persevere.

You will find that attitudes, thoughts, feelings and ways ofbeing that you don’t like, but which seem to run on auto pilot,can be cleared. Free of this emotional baggage, you will beempowered to achieve your true potential in life and create yourdreams to manifest.

The thyroid hormone exerts its influence on every cell of thebody. If the thyroid is not properly balanced, a wide variety of med-ical problems often develop. Over 200 medical symptoms arerelated to an underperforming thyroid.

Oftentimes, the thyroid is not suspected to be the cause of theseconditions because orthodox drug doctors are trained in the diag-nosis and treatment of primarily severe and emergency types of dis-eases. Most hypothyroid symptoms are so common to busy doc-tors, that the connections to the thyroid are generally overlooked.

Because the thyroid can affect every system of the body, it is notunusual for individuals to be misdiagnosed and be given deleteri-ous drugs that effectively cover up, but can exacerbate the truecause of the condition. Drug interaction has been the Number Onecause of hospital emergency admissions for three decades.

Billions of dollars have been thrown down the rat hole of med-ical research looking for the cause of coronary artery disease. Whathave we gotten for our billions?? Lipitor and other such patentedcholesterol lowering drugs! This class of drugs have never beenproven to prevent heart disease or add a day to a person’s life. Theyhave raked in hundreds of billions of dollars for the drug gang forthe last 60 years on a faulty theory.

I predict that when the truth surfaces as it did with Viox and manyother such poisonous substances, this type of drug will prove to bea more serious threat to our nation’s health then Viox. Orthodoxdrug doctors continually prescribe it mindlessly without a thoughtof the long term implications. The same prescribers killed 50,000fellow Americans that we know about in two short years with Viox.

If cholesterol were indeed the direct cause of coronary heart dis-ease, should not our research be directed at the cause of high cho-lesterol? After all, our Creator designed the human body to manu-facture cholesterol. Shouldn’t the question be, why is the bodyoverproducing cholesterol?

The drugsters have known for 80 years that hypothyroidism pre-disposes one to have high cholesterol. To put this another way, highcholesterol is not a sign of a Lipitor deficiency, but of a poorly func-tioning and underperforming thyroid. This has been known by themedical profession since 1920.

My clinical experience since 1964 has been very simple. Whenthe entire hormone system is appropriately nourished and rebal-ances with proper nutrition/supplementation based on individualbiochemistry and bio-identical hormones, most often the choles-terol levels correct themselves dramatically without harmful syn-thetic substances.

Broda Barns, M.D., Ph.D, one of the worlds’ foremost authorityand medical researchers on the thyroid states that unless the thyroidis severely out of balance, it is assumed normal and that laboratorydiagnostic test ranges are so wide that a patient has to be extreme-ly sick before hypothyroidism is officially diagnosed.

BODY, MIND, SPIRITHOLISTIC APPROACH TO

DIAGNOSING HYPOTHYROIDISMWhat do holistic doctors do that orthodox drug doctors fail to do?

The holistic approach to diagnosing hypothyroidism is differentfrom the standard conventional model of relying only on bloodtests. It is not only inappropriate to rely solely on blood laboratorytesting to diagnose hypothyroidism, it is medical laziness. This formof medical practice misses the diagnosis most of the time. Bloodtests are only part of the diagnostic process. The holistic approachincludes looking at the following components:

1. Complete panel of thyroid blood tests not just the TSH test.2. Poor T4 converters. Many people do not adequately convert

T4 into the active thyroid hormone T3. This is known as secondaryhypothyroidism. This factor is most often overlooked.

3. Review of Medications. Many drugs block the conversion of T4known as the storage hormone to the more active T3 hormone.Beta blockers, birth control pills, steroids, psychotropic drugs, areamong the causes of hypothyroidism.

4. Nutritional Deficiencies. The thyroid requires an ample, notminimum, support of iodine, selenium, L-taurine, B-complex,Chromium, Zinc, Vitamin A, iron, and paradoxine to function opti-mally. The thyroid must be addressed at both levels, hormonallyand nutritionally, if a correction is even going to be made.

5. Diet Review. Junk foods cause imbalance, toxicity and acidity

HYPOTHYROIDISM

And Why Orthodox Drug Medicine DoctorsM i s s I t M o s t O f T h e T i m e



in every cell of the body. This includes prop-er thyroid function.

6. Body/Mind/Spirit Review. Stress, work-ing anxiety stymies proper thyroid function.What is happening in your mind and spiritaffects thyroid functioning.

7. Alcohol Review. Excess Alcohol adverse-ly affects thyroid function.

8. Obesity Review. Excess body fatadversely affects thyroid functions and mustbe addressed.

9. Diabetes Testing. Diabetes is the numberone cause of crippling stroke, sudden death,heart attack, blindness, kidney dialysis,amputation and Alzheimer’s. It’s the leadingcause of death in the U.S. It stymies the thy-roid and must be addressed.

10. Heavy Metal Toxicity Testing. Lead,Mercury, Aluminum, Cadmium and otherheavy metals block the receptor sites in thethyroid.

11. Radiation Analysis. Radiation affectsthe proper functioning of the thyroid.

12. Basal Body Temperature. Basal body tem-perature is one of the most important tests inthyroid evaluation. The main function of thethyroid is to regulate the metabolism of everycell of the body. One by-product of this meta-bolic machinery is heat. Hypothyroid individu-als will often complain of feeling cold.

Maintaining a steady body temperature ofthe body’s internal heating and cooling sys-tem is one of the most crucial functions of thethyroid. Taking basal temperature (under arm)first thing in the a.m. is an essential test.

13. Physical Exam. Signs such as swellingunder the eyes, poor eyebrow growth, puffiness, hair falling out, andextremely dry skin are all signs that an experienced holistic doctor istrained to pick up.

14. Total Hormonal Evaluation. The thyroid works in harmonylike a great symphony orchestra, with the pituitary, that produces thehuman growth hormone. These are the hormones which the mastergland that controls the upper regulation of the thyroid. An under-performing pituitary will affect the thyroid.

15. Adrenal Evaluation. Adrenal Exhaustion, faulty adrenals due tofaulty living habits, lack of sleep, overwork, and/or nutritional deficien-cies will pull the thyroid down every time.

CONVENTIONAL TREATMENTFOR HYPOTHYROIDISM

If you’re unfortunate to be diagnosed by your orthodox drugdoctor for hypothyroidism, the next problem is the standardtreatment, which ignores nutrition, natural treatments and thebottom line cause. A synthetic chemical substance Synthroid,Levothyroid, Unithorid and other inferior substances compriseconventional treatments.

Broda Barns, M.D., Ph.D., one of the world’s foremost author-ities in the world on the thyroid wrote in his books,

“Hypothyroidism”, that in his 40 years ofmedical practice, he’s never seen a singlepatient who’s thyroid corrected while onSynthroid or any other synthetic thyroiddrug. How does your orthodox drug doc-tor respond to your question, “How longwill I be on this Synthroid drug? Answer:For life!

Doctor Barns said, it may take two yearsbut in 50% of his patients the thyroid correctswith natural bio-identical thyroid restorationtherapy.

In our practice, we have observed an80% plus correction in hypothyrodism. Dr.Barns’ only treatment was bio-identical thy-roid therapy (not Synthroid), with one smallpill upon arising in the morning with water.

Our approach is much more intensive andcomprehensive and often includes naturo-pathic detoxification, dietary change, ozoneinfused far-infrared detoxification saunasweat therapy, thyroid nutritional supporttherapy, intravenous ozone therapy, humangrowth hormone therapy, bio-identicalhormone restoration therapy, hyperbaricoxygen therapy, Rife vibrational treatment,as well as natural bio-identical thyroidtherapy. Everything is based on your indi-vidual bio-chemistry. If the thyroid isunderperforming, most often there will beother systems that are simultaneously outof balance.

WHAT TO DOFirst of all, take the enclosed self-test. If

you’ve have more than 5 checks, contactyour alternative, holistic, medical doctor. It’s time for yourannual nutritional testing and personal health evaluation, usingthe latest scientific breakthrough in laboratory blood diagnos-tics for nutritional, hormonal and metabolic assessment. Acomplete thyroid evaluation is enclosed in this evaluation. Youmay want to ask your doctor to include an entire male/femalehormone panel.

In the event hypothyroidism is indeed confirmed, be sure yourdoctor uses “Naturethyroid”, the purest form of bio-identical thyroid.We stopped using Armour thyroid. Twenty years ago the companychanged the formula and added talcum powder and other inert addi-tives. Also, be sure your doctor supports your thyroid nutritionallyas well as hormonally. If you’re over 40 years old, be sure to evalu-ate for human growth hormone deficiency. There should be morecalled the repair hormone. It is the master hormone that up-regu-lates all other hormones.

o you consider Yoga to be a form of religion? If so, why?Yoga is not a religion or a cult, but a set of Divinely-realized techniques

which, when practiced correctly, within a short time, help one to achieve radi-ant health, mental powers and, in combination with the two first steps of Yoga(Yama and Niyama), spiritual power. With these three powers, one can achieveanything. People of all faiths may practice the traditional eight steps of Yoga(Astanga) , and enjoy its benefits. Yoga is really a short cut to immortality. Thereare other expressions of Yoga that deal with the gods. In these cases, Yoga canbecome very much like religion, in my opinion.

What is Pranayama? Is any breathing exercise Pranayama? What is necessary to start Pranayama practice?

Prana is “energy” or “vital force”. Yama is “control”. So, Pranayama means:controlling the speed, rhythm, ratio, retention and duration of the breath. Bycontrolling the breath, Prana is controlled. Combining the above in differentways, each will produce a specific result — affecting greatly the body and mind.

A N I N T E R V I E W

Sri Dharma Mittra

D



Some breathing exercises change the state of consciousness, somepurify the psychic channels (Nadis), others, combined with theBandhas (locks), join Prana (descending energy in the body) andApana (rising energy in the body) and bring them up to the head, andstill others stimulate the Charkas (energy centers or vortexes). By per-forming some Pranayamas, in combination with a specific Asana,one may develop psychic powers. Some Pranayamas are specifical-ly designed for healing purposes. By controlling the breath, Prana iscontrolled. To some degree, by controlling the Prana, the mind isalso brought under control.

As long as the breathing exercise is controlled in a specific way,it’s Pranayama. It’s necessary to have a truly qualified teacher inorder to study Pranayama. It is then important for the student be rev-erent, obedient, and serious in all matters relating to the teacher andthe teachings. The student must try to be kind to all beings, be mod-erate in sleeping, eating, should stop eating meat if still doing so, andmust be endowed with a desire for enlightenment to achieve anyreal success in Pranayama.

One of the Yama principles, Brahmacharya, is often translated as"sexual abstinence". To yourmind, what is the point of Brah-macharya? Is celibacy requiredfor those who practice Yoga?

Brahmacharya means “to becelibate and meet your spouseonly when your partner has needswhich must be addressed accord-ing to the nature of your commit-ment to them.” A householder(one who lives in the world and isinvolved in its affairs) should bekind to all guests, pets and rela-tives. Perform your spiritual obli-gations, be obedient and reverentto your teacher, and avoid enter-taining sexual thoughts. Thesemen is pure Divine concentrat-ed energy, combined with spermatozoa. In one single ejaculation,millions of sperms are wasted. It takes from 70-100 pounds of organ-ic food to produce that single ejaculate, and to replace it. Semenshould be used only for the making of children.

If one is miserable, depressed and lonely, sex may be appropriateif married, rather than taking drugs or becoming drunk. Also, thereare Yogic techniques to retain the semen during the sexual act itself.If semen is saved, it will turn into spiritual energy, and then bound-less energy is available. Also, the body will then give off a sweet fra-grance. For those who are looking to accelerate their spiritualprogress and reach enlightenment in a very short time, keep celiba-cy. Remember, Brahmacharya also means: “to be free from enter-taining sexual thoughts.”

One may practice Yoga without celibacy, but progress will beslower due to the distraction of sexual attachment and difficulty inkeeping up with the Guru’s instructions. Armed with the practice ofcelibacy, tremendous will power is gained.

In the world of today, Yoga has become big business. Doesn’ttaking money for classes destroy the essence of Yoga? Where is the

point of balance between the material side of teaching and thespiritual meaning of the practice itself?

As long as the Yoga business’ profits are being used to promote,expand and disseminate spiritual knowledge in order to alleviatepain and suffering for the students, the essence of Yoga is not affect-ed. There are lots of Yoga schools with restaurants, juice bars, Yogashops, massage options, etc., but everything still runs professionally.Rent is extremely high in many cities, and every teacher andemployee has to be paid. As a direct consequence, Yoga instructionmust be offered for a fee.

Even when spiritual instruction is given, there must be somemethod of exchange. For everything one receives, one shouldoffer up something in return. Asking for free things indicatespoverty of spirit. In Ashrams, most students don’t pay for theinstruction, but they have to do lots of Karma Yoga (selflessservice/work) in exchange. The material side of teaching isreally for those who are seeking name, fame, prestige andwealth. The spiritual meaning of practicing is: all Yogic prac-tices are intended for Self-realization only.

Anything else you would liketo share with our readers?

The greatest type of charity issharing or promoting spiritualknowledge to others in need. Thissupreme knowledge stays with usuntil our enlightenment, and itcan’t be taken from us -- it’s reallya treasure. A magazine helping todisseminate Yoga indeed hasDivine qualities, because it’sdoing the highest type of charity -- bringing to thousands of peopleimportant knowledge -- informa-tion that will lead them to theright path, thus relieving theirpain and suffering. I thank thispublication for giving me this

great opportunity to answer the Divine questions above -- it wasreally a pleasure for me.

Regarding all of you reading these words right now, my wish foryou all is for you to be engaged in constant practice -- this is thesecret of making progress. Meditate on compassion, stay vegan andseek enlightenment. Be obedient to your teacher and reverent to all.Oh my loved ones, keep Yama and Niyama! Then, you have a shortcut to Immortality. Lastly, I love you all. I am you and you are me.

Lots of Love, and Remember — the goal is Self Realization!

I have practiced nutritional, preventive routine dentistryfor over 30 years. My main goal is to save my patients’teeth for the rest of their lives in a relaxed atmosphere.

There have always been alternative, non-toxic dentalmaterials instead of those containing mercury, nickeland aluminum. The safe protocol for necessary dentalmercury removal is strictly followed.

To prevent the development of loose teeth or orthodontic relapses, I treat noxious oral habits liketooth clenching, tongue-thrustng or night grinding ofteeth, which may cause headaches (TM Joint

Syndrome). All local and systemic causes of dental dis-eases are investigated carefully and non-surgical, non-drug treatments are planned.General Dentistry, Mercury Vapor Testing, Cosmetic

CENTER FOR UNLIMITED VISION

DR. JOSEPH SHAPIRO

20/20 Sight is not perfect. Eyeglasses and sight-improvement techniques (i.e., Bates) are not always theanswer. Vision is a total body process. A sophisticatedvisual analysis requires 21 different tests to determineyour unique visual pattern.

Most eye exams lead only to a prescription for glass-es which reinforces visual weakness and may notuncover more fundamental visual problems, which mayresult in the following symptoms: eyestrain, fatigue, dis-comfort with your glasses or contact lenses, oversensi-tivity to light, short attention span, inability to concen-trate, general nervousness and tension, headaches,blurry or double vision, poor reading skills, and aca-demic underachievement, coordination difficulties, theneed to rub your eyes, and permanent squint or frown.

I will analyze your vision and prescribe special lens-es and/or daily eye exercise to rid you of your symptomsand make your everyday life more comfortable. In addi-

tion, I am the only optometrist in Manhattan who prac-tices Photoretinology, i.e., the branch of ocular sciencethat uses varying light frequency therapy.

Due to Dr. Shapiro’s perspective and pioneering effortsin the field of vision therapy, he is well-received in bothholistic and traditional medical circles. He practiced in oneof the first holistic centers in New York City, Served as astaff member of the Chiefs of Ophthalmology ofManhattan Eye and Ear and Lenox Hill Hospitals, andserved as astaff member and clinical supervisor at theNew York Light House Low Vision Service. He has donegrand rounds, workshops and lectures at 6 major metro-politan hospitals on the subject of functional vision testingand therapy. Call for information.
