Natural treatments for arthritis

Did you know that there are over 100 different types of arthritis and related diseases? And age is not an indicator of it either.  Depending upon the type it can affect the very young also.  So what can a person do?  There is no cure for these diseases, but one can help treat the symptoms and control the amount of damage done. 

So let's discuss some natural treatments.

Boron-Various research since 1963 has shown that Boron is an effective treatment for arthritis, helping to alleviate the pain and discomfort.  6 mg a day seemed to be effective.  Added benefits of boron include helping to build healthy bones and improved brain function.

Turmeric-a natural Cox 2 inhibitor, turmeric will help will pain and keep inflammation from increasing.  Take with bioperine(black pepper) to increase the absorption.  Added benefits of turmeric is it helps prevent blood clots.

Ginger- another natural Cox 2 inhibitor, it too helps with pain and inflammation.  Added benefits are helps with nausea and helps to prevent blood clots.

Fish Oil/Flaxseed Oil- both are high in Omega 3's which help with inflammation.  Fish Oil may raise cholesterol levels in some folks, and it has a blood thinning effect.  I recommend cold pressed Flaxseed Oil.

MSM Chondroitin and Glucosamine-help with cartilage formation and repair.   Added benefits they also seem to help with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.

Boswellia- aka Frankincense-used to treat inflammation and pain.  Added benefits are helps with asthma and IBD's.   

Tart Cherry-helps with pain and inflammation.  Added benefits are better sleep and helps control gout.

Astaxanthin-helps with pain and inflammation, it is another natural Cox 2 inhibitor.  Added benefits include heart health, increased blood flow and helps prevent new wrinkles.

So there you go, just a few of the natural treatments for arthritis.  And you can get them anywhere.  I buy online at Swansons and Puritans Pride.  In fact Puritan has a tart cherry/turmeric/ginger blend that also has bioperine added.

18th Anniversary of 9/11

Eighteen years ago it was a sunny morning when disaster struck out of a clear blue sky.  At 8:45 a.m. a plane that had been hijacked from Boston, MA slammed into the North Tower of the World Trade Center, and the world began to turn upside down.  With horror the world watched as the tower started to burn, and then even more horrific, at 9:03 a.m. a second plane hijacked out of Boston slammed into the South Tower of the World Trade Center.  Not only First Responders rushed into perform heroic deeds, but ordinary citizens.  By the time the building collapsed and survivors found, over 2,600 U.S. citizens and 372 citizens of other nations excluding the Hijackers lost their lives.  Of those who lost their lives most were civilians, but 343 firefighters and 71 law enforcement officers also died.

At 9:43 a.m. a third plane hijacked from Washington crashed into the Pentagon. 125 lives excluding the hijackers and the passengers on the plane were lost.  55 of those lost lives were military personnel.

At 10:10 a.m. a fourth plane hijacked from New Jersey crashed into a field in Shanksville, Somerset County, PA.  44 people excluding the hijackers were killed.  Heroism abounded on flight 93.  The passengers who had been in touch with people on the ground had learned about the other attacks.  They banded together and rushed the cockpit.  Flight 93 was the only plane not to reach its intended target.  Those passengers were heroes who gave their lives to save disaster from occurring to other innocent people.

All in all 2,974 people and 19 hijackers lost their lives in the initial attacks.

The people of the United States were horrified and most of the world cried with us.  I remember  9/11 like it happened yesterday.  The fear, the horror, the uncertainty and then the pride as we as a nation joined together as one.  There was no worrying if someone was LGBTQ or black or hispanic or what have you.  Our citizens as one arose to the occasion.   We all shed tears over the deaths and of the heroism of the passengers of Flight 93.  We mourned as a nation.

But fast forward to 18 years later and we have a narcissistic, sociopath squatting in the White House who has no scruples of lying and misleading the citizens, who seems to worship at the altar of Putin and Russia and buddy up to the corrupt regime in Saudi Arabia, where 15 of the hijackers were from.  Yet the squatter in the White House and his equally corrupt adult children and their spouses line their pockets at the expense of the nation and make friends and deals with the regimes that helped bring about this disaster.  We hear the Trump supporting idiots claiming that the real patriots support the terrorist Muslims, when we fight their idiot in chief"s Muslim bans, and when they don't realize apparently just what countries the terrorists were from. Also they who claim to love their fictional Jesus can't understand that not every Muslim is a terrorist.  But thinking is not the strong suit of republicans, evangelicals or the mob squatting in the White House.

This nation needs to revive that feeling of fellowship that we had among all members of our nation after the attacks.  People need to remember that religious extremism is BAD, regardless of what religion it is.  We need to become inclusive instead of dividing.  This nation needs a revival of morals, and I am not talking Christian ones, but Humanistic ones.

Please join me in a moment of silence remembering all those who lost their lives that fateful day.

Psychic Vampires?

Are there Psychic Vampires you ask?  Yes.  I will try and condense things down to explain.  We hear all the time about Psychic Vampires aka Toxic people.  But the thing is Psychic Vamps don't just steal your energy, there are some who can also steal other things from you, and transfer things to you.

Like I said this is a really complex subject and without writing a set of encyclopedias about it I will try and simplify things as much as I can.

First let me state I do not see Aura's.  I certainly believe that we all have a force field of our life energies that surrounds us.  Over the eons plenty of cultures have believed something similar for it to be just dismissed.  Now I think that a very teeny tiny percentage of folks may be able to see a reflection of that force field.  I do not think that it is a very common talent to have.  Now over the years we have heard from many different people and cultures that there are ties between people, and they are generally talking about metaphysical ties.  And over the previous decades we have seen things like Kirlian photography and even Quantum physics such as the entanglement theory show us bits and pieces of things that seem to tie into these tales that have been told.

So basically when we interact with someone or even a pet on an intimate basis , our force fields appear to have ties form between the 2 force fields.  I call it hooks with lines.  So in my force field would be a hook with a line running from me to the force field of say my cat.  So we would say there is a tie between us.

Now when you interact (and I am not talking about passing them on the street and exchanging a hello, but an interaction where you sit and chat) on a friendly basis, meaning a longer period of time you start to have little bands of interaction form.  Do it often enough and long enough and you get the hooks.  Now in our intimate interactions with others who are not Psychic Vamps we exchange energy.  We all have friends who when we interact with, we start laughing and having a good time and both folks feel more energized.  Same goes for love interests, both people feel loved.   So basically these hooks and the lines between sort of act like a telephone or electrical line.  But when we have this hook and line thing occur with a Psychic Vampire, the exchange only goes one way.  By the time we are done interacting we feel drained.  They of course are feeling energized.  How many of you personally know folks that after you sit and talk to them, either in person or on the phone, they say to you "Oh I feel so much better now that we've talked", and you on the other hand feel like you've been run over by a tractor trailer.

They can also steal your luck, your health and any other number of things from you.  We all know stories about people who were considered to be jinxes. A jinx is a person who seems to cause bad luck or misfortune to happen to others around them.  So an exchange of energies occurs.  The jinx exchanges their bad luck or misfortune to someone else and waltzes off with the luck or what have you of their victim.

So how do you handle this?  First off once you have identified such a psychic thief, because really that is what they are, (of course if you wish to call them a psychic vampire, feel free to do so) you need to limit severely your contact on an intimate basis with them.  You also need to get rid of those hooks and ties.  A good cleansing bath from head to toe, including using hyssop is indicated.  Get rid of any pictures, or anything they have given you.  Because these items can help keep those hooks and lines from dissolving.  A spell can also be done that you state that wish to permanently cut all ties that bind you to this person.  Wear protective jewelry or carry protective crystals when you know you have to interact with this person, and visualize a protective bubble around you that will deflect any attempts to form new hooks and ties.  Eventually these psychic thieves will wander off and find someone new to drain.  But in the meantime you must keep your shield up, carry your protective crystal when you are around them, and do a cleansing bath asap.

Now some of these folks know exactly what they are doing.  They have stumbled onto some of the darker methods of the craft and use it to their own advantages.  Some folks do it, but not consciously.  Regardless it doesn't matter, no one needs a Psychic Vamp or Thief hanging around.
