As I was checking out, the young man, young enough to be my son, who was bagging my groceries spoke and made my day. As he looked at the gray streak in my hair he said &amp;quot;You should never dye your hair.&amp;quot; I said, &amp;quot;Why would you say that?&amp;quot; He said &amp;quot;Because you remind me of Halle Berry when she played Storm in XMen....&lt;br/&gt;Whoaaaa!!! I thought, as a Huge grin spread across my face. &amp;quot;Really&amp;quot; I said. In that instant he made me feel Invincible, like I could Fly and had the Power to check the bad guys with the stroke of my hand:-)... &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;But I'm no sci-fi superhero, I am Real... So, with that said, I decided to try and help make things better right Here and Now...&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;According to the research I have done, with the BP oil spill we are facing planethicide, the death of a biosphere, the ocean. This is an unmitigated disaster for the US and must be addressed by the highest evolved intellectual and spiritual intelligence available to us. &lt;br/&gt;It appears that The Orion Project, a non profit corp in South Dakota, has some technical answers that we can and should support, for our survival. The trillions of dollars at stake, for those who would benefit from oil profits, mean NOTHING compared to the promise of our existence.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The time has come for all of us to redefine wealth and bring about Change in the ways we think and live. The time has come for us to sweep our egos aside and be more concerned about being Morally correct than about being politically correct or ego driven. The time has come to recognize that the drive of those that seek to maintain the status quo must be redirected to the best interest of us all. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;We need answers and we need them Now. We cannot Afford to be held hostage to fear and ignorance. We cannot Afford to wallow in confusion or be lead astray. We cannot Afford to become catatonic or paralyzed by the OUTRAGEOUS and overwhelming circumstances of the challenges at hand. Running away is not an option and Denial of the truth we share is Unacceptable. We must Rise and Deliver. We must demonstrate our Faith with progressive acts of high intelligence and Spiritual maturity to bring about Balance. There are many steps that can and should be taken immediately for Changes but now our most pressing concern is to stop the oil spill in the Gulf. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The illusive boundaries of political party, religious affiliations, financial status, race and geography have merged. Our planet is at stake and we have a common interest. Life.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;In my opinion, while scientist have made some pretty awesome discoveries, they are Not our superheros and the last thing we need is another self serving sales pitch, but we cannot sit idle and do nothing or witness wrong doing, while millions of gallons of oil continue to contaminate the ocean!!! &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;President Barack Obama has called upon his cabinet, All members of Congress and the Senate, members of the Supreme Court, business leaders, Spiritual leaders and citizens to come together, exercise wisdom and find the courage to face the truth. We must work together so that we can reach solutions That Work for everyone and to do it with Godspeed.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;We must solve this catastrophe and help transform our energy crisis with life affirming technology.  It appears that the Orion Project can assist with this effort. Ultimately, it is in God we must trust.  &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Please access: theorionproject.org for more information and Pray.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Victoria Harris&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;____________________________________________________________</description>

      <description>&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mindbodyspiritconnection.us/mindbodyspiritconnection.us/Blog/Entries/2010/6/27_Cancer_Prevention_files/iStock_000000473990Small.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.mindbodyspiritconnection.us/mindbodyspiritconnection.us/Blog/Media/object001_1.jpg&quot; style=&quot;float:left; padding-right:10px; padding-bottom:10px; width:216px; height:123px;&quot;/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Johns Hopkins Update &lt;br/&gt;This is an extremely good article. Everyone should read it.    Cancer Update from Johns Hopkins:   1. Every person has cancer cells in the body. These cancer  cells do not show up in the standard tests until they have multiplied to a few billion. When doctors tell cancer patients that there are no more cancer cells in their bodies after  treatment, it just means the tests are unable to detect the cancer cells because they have not reached the detectable size.   2. Cancer cells occur between 6 to more than 10 times in a  person's lifetime.   3. When the person's immune system is strong the cancer  cells will be destroyed and prevented from multiplying and forming tumors.   4. When a person has cancer it indicates the person has nutritional deficiencies. These could be due to genetic, but also to environmental, food and lifestyle factors.   5. To overcome the multiple nutritional deficiencies, changing diet to eat more adequately and healthy, 4-5 times/day&lt;br/&gt;and by including supplements will strengthen the immune system.   6. Chemotherapy involves poisoning the rapidly-growing cancer cells and also destroys rapidly-growing healthy cells in the bone marrow, gastrointestinal tract etc, and can  cause organ damage, like liver, kidneys, heart, lungs etc.   7.. Radiation while destroying cancer cells also burns, scars  and damages healthy cells, tissues and organs.   8. Initial treatment with chemotherapy and radiation will often reduce tumor size. However prolonged use of chemotherapy and radiation do not result in more tumor destruction.   9. When the body has too much toxic burden from chemotherapy and radiation the immune system is either compromised or destroyed, hence the person can succumb to various kinds of infections and complications.   10. Chemotherapy and radiation can cause cancer cells to mutate and become resistant and difficult to destroy. Surgery can also cause cancer cells to spread to other sites.  11. An effective way to battle cancer is to starve the cancer cells by not feeding it with the foods it needs to multiply.   *CANCER CELLS FEED ON:   a. Sugar substitutes like NutraSweet, Equal, Spoonful, etc are made with Aspartame and it is harmful. A better natural substitute would be Manuka honey or molasses, but only in very small amounts. Table salt has a chemical added to make it white in color Better alternative is Bragg's aminos or sea salt.   b. Milk causes the body to produce mucus, especially in the gastro-intestinal tract. Cancer feeds on mucus. By cutting off milk and substituting with unsweetened soy milk cancer cells are being starved.   c. Cancer cells thrive in an acid environment. A meat-based diet is acidic and it is best to eat fish, and a little other meat,&lt;br/&gt;like chicken. Meat also contains livestock antibiotics, growth hormones and parasites, which are all harmful, especially to people with cancer.   d. A diet made of 80% fresh vegetables and juice, whole grains, seeds, nuts and a little fruits help put the body into an alkaline environment. About 20% can be from cooked food including beans. Fresh vegetable juices provide live enzymes that are easily absorbed and reach down to cellular levels within 15 minutes to nourish and enhance growth of healthy cells. To obtain live enzymes for building healthy cells try and drink fresh vegetable juice (most vegetables including bean sprouts) and eat some raw vegetables 2 or 3 times a day. Enzymes are destroyed at temperatures of 104 degrees F (40 degrees C)..   e. Avoid coffee, tea, and chocolate, which have high caffeine. Green tea is a better alternative and has cancer fighting properties. Water-best to drink purified water, or filtered, to avoid known toxins and heavy metals in tap water. Distilled water is acidic, avoid it.   12. Meat protein is difficult to digest and requires a lot of digestive enzymes. Undigested meat remaining in the intestines becomes putrefied and leads to more toxic buildup.   13. Cancer cell walls have a tough protein covering. By refraining from or eating less meat it frees more enzymes to attack the protein walls of cancer cells and allows the body's killer cells to destroy the cancer cells.   14. Some supplements build up the immune system (IP6, Flor-ssence, Essiac, anti-oxidants, vitamins, minerals, EFAs etc.) to enable the bodies own killer cells to destroy cancer cells. Other supplements like vitamin E are known to cause apoptosis, or programmed cell death, the body's normal method of disposing of damaged, unwanted, or unneeded cells.   15. Cancer is a disease of the mind, body, and spirit. A proactive and positive spirit will help the cancer warrior be a survivor. Anger, un-forgiveness and bitterness put the body into a stressful and acidic environment. Learn to have a loving and forgiving spirit. Learn to relax and enjoy life.   16. Cancer cells cannot thrive in an oxygenated environment. &lt;br/&gt;Exercising daily, and deep breathing help to get more oxygen&lt;br/&gt;down to the cellular level. Oxygen therapy is another means &lt;br/&gt;employed to destroy cancer cells. &lt;br/&gt;ALSO IMPORTANT&lt;br/&gt; 1. No plastic containers in micro.   2. No water bottles in freezer.   3. No plastic wrap in microwave..   Johns Hopkins has recently sent this out in its newsletters. This information is being circulated at Walter Reed Army Medical Center as well. Dioxin chemicals cause cancer, especially breast cancer. Dioxins are highly poisonous to the cells of our bodies. Don't freeze your plastic bottles with water in them as this releases dioxins from the plastic. Recently, Dr Edward Fujimoto, Wellness Program Manager at Castle Hospital , was on a TV program to explain this health hazard. He talked about dioxins and how bad they are for us. He said that we should not be heating our food in the microwave using plastic containers. This especially applies to foods that contain fat. He said that the combination of fat, high heat, and plastics releases dioxin into the food and ultimately into the cells of the body. Instead, he recommends using glass, such as Corning Ware, Pyrex or ceramic containers for heating food. You get the same results, only without the dioxin. So such things as TV dinners, instant ramen and soups, etc., should be removed from the container and heated in something else. Paper isn't bad but you don't know what is in the paper. It's just safer to use tempered glass, Corning Ware, etc. He reminded us that a while ago some of the fast food restaurants moved away from the foam containers to paper The dioxin problem is one of the reasons.  Please share this with your email list...&lt;br/&gt;Also, he pointed out that plastic wrap, such as Saran, is just as dangerous when placed over foods to be cooked in the microwave. As the food is nuked, the high heat causes poisonous toxins to actually melt out of the plastic wrap and drip into the food. Cover food with a paper towel instead. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Top 20 Antioxidant-Rich Foods&lt;br/&gt;Trying to add more disease-fighting antioxidants into your diet? The following 20 foods contain the highest antioxidant concentration.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;	1.	Pomegranates&lt;br/&gt;	2.	Small red beans (dried)&lt;br/&gt;	3.	Wild blueberries&lt;br/&gt;	4.	Red kidney beans&lt;br/&gt;	5.	Pinto beans&lt;br/&gt;	6.	Blueberries (cultivated)&lt;br/&gt;	7.	Cranberries&lt;br/&gt;	8.	Artichokes (cooked)&lt;br/&gt;	9.	Blackberries&lt;br/&gt;	10.	Prunes&lt;br/&gt;	11.	Raspberries&lt;br/&gt;	12.	Strawberries&lt;br/&gt;	13.	Red Delicious apples&lt;br/&gt;	14.	Granny Smith apples&lt;br/&gt;	15.	Pecans&lt;br/&gt;	16.	Sweet cherries&lt;br/&gt;	17.	Black plums&lt;br/&gt;	18.	Gala apples&lt;br/&gt;	19.	Black beans (dried)&lt;br/&gt;	20.	Plums&lt;br/&gt;Antioxidants are naturally occurring nutrients that help prevent heart disease, cancer, and the effects of aging. Little is actually known about how antioxidants work or what makes them function best. Scientists believe that some antioxidants are more potent than others, and their potency can be affected by cooking or digestion. For example, the antioxidants in blueberries lose their potency when cooked, while the antioxidants in tomatoes become more potent when cooked.&lt;br/&gt;So use this list to find antioxidant-rich foods, but for the best nutritional outcome, eat them in a wide variety.&lt;br/&gt;  </description>

      <description>&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mindbodyspiritconnection.us/mindbodyspiritconnection.us/Blog/Entries/2010/2/3_The_Making_of_a_Blog_files/iStock_000000495190Small.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.mindbodyspiritconnection.us/mindbodyspiritconnection.us/Blog/Media/object004_1.jpg&quot; style=&quot;float:left; padding-right:10px; padding-bottom:10px; width:216px; height:123px;&quot;/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;In response to viewer comments about my new website; mindbodyspiritconnection.us, I have added this Blog Page and look forward to learning more about your concerns, hopes and prayers.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;These turbulent times have seriously motivated me to find and share solutions on many fronts that I know will work and I know you are motivated too.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;This means honestly addressing the circumstances and situations that life deals us with intelligence, emotional stability and spiritual maturity. It also helps to have a sense of humor.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Senseless suffering disturbs me and the truth is that much of it can be avoided simply by becoming informed but it takes more than knowing. It takes doing. It takes caring and it takes sharing. Every effort by every one of us matters. We have to start with ourselves and make conscientious decisions as we move forward.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Although this is my 4th computer in the last 15+ years, alot of this technology is new to me. Frankly, I had no idea how to set up a Blog. Technology did not come naturally to me. I had to make a decision, so I did. I went back to school and instead of buying a computer I built my own. It hasn’t been easy. At the time, I was living with and caring for my great aunt. She was in her 80’s and in her mind computers were foreign to say the least. When she found out I actually built one and had it in the bedroom she called the police to come and arrest me!&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;At first my only intent was to learn how to use one. I knew that in order to keep up with a modern world I had to but for months everything in me resisted this change.&lt;br/&gt;My motivation grew from wanting to keep in touch with friends to needing to correspond with business associates. Soon surfing the web to do research and to shop became a favorite sport. I suppose you could say non of that has changed but times have and I am now compelled to do more and so I decided to share in new ways that can make a positive difference in the lives of others.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I know alot of very smart, seriously savvy, creative and dynamic, good people and they are all very busy. They want more than just conversation. They want results that offer excellence for themselves and for others and so do I. Their ongoing encouragement and my determination to make a difference inspired the evolution of this website.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Mindbodyspiritconnection.us became a network of highly recognizable companies and trusted organizations that have many of the answers we all need both in terms of advice as well as products!&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The only thing missing from the website was the opportunity for spontaneous response by well meaning individuals who wanted to reach out in some way too. Hence, the Blog!&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The response to mindbodyspiritconnection.us has been great and now you are encouraged to share your thoughts too, in this public forum.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Speak up and find answers. As the saying goes “If you don’t know, you&lt;br/&gt;better ask somebody”.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Share the wisdom from the blows you’ve been dealt or insight to &lt;br/&gt;something that you understand.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Explore the links for vital information or just submit a question.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;If there is something that you need that can be purchased through one of&lt;br/&gt;the links available here, by all means please do support this website by&lt;br/&gt;making your purchases through the links provided.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;This conscious effort on your part will provide the support needed to serve you with the quality information and valuable resources that you deserve.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Thank you for connecting with us!&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Victoria Harris&lt;br/&gt;Publisher&lt;br/&gt;</description>
