"Perhaps the most important thing we bring to another person is the silence in us, not the sort of silence that is filled with unspoken criticism or hard withdrawal. The sort of silence that is a place of refuge, of rest, of acceptance of someone as they are. We are all hungry for this other silence. It is hard to find. In its presence we can remember something beyond the moment, a strength on which to build a life. Silence is a place of great power and healing ."

Milk thistle - helpful in cancer treatment?

Milk thistle

Several scientific studies suggest that substances in milk thistle (especially a flavonoid called silymarin) protect the liver from toxins, including certain drugs such as acetaminophen (Tylenol), which can cause liver damage in high doses. Silymarin has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory Properties, and it may help the liver repair itself by growing new cells.
Cancer
Early laboratory studies also suggest that silymarin and other active substances in milk thistle may have anticancer effects. These substances appear to stop cancer cells from dividing and reproducing, shorten their lifespan, and reduce blood supply to tumors. Some studies suggest silymarin may favorably supplement sunscreen protection and may help reduce the risk of skin cancer. More studies are needed, however, to show whether milk thistle has any effects in the body (not just in test tubes).

Story of an unvaccinated child



“My unvaccinated son, Nikolai, is now 13 years old - born in 1999. While I was still pregnant with Nick, by the grace of God, a friend handed a book called, ‘A Shot in the Dark’. Written by Harris Coulter and Barbara Joe Fisher, it offers an extensive history on the American blanket vaccine program, and the fallout in individual lives.

This introduction to the ‘vaccine controversy’ was explosive for me, and timely................

Buthan -  Himalayan Country Becomes First 100% Organic Nation


Perhaps you remember a nation that proclaimed gross domestic happiness was more important than gross domestic product? Well, the very same country, Bhutan, nestled in the Himalayan mountains, has decided to become the first 100% organic nation. Anthony Gucciardi previously reported on this exciting news, but it’s so exciting that we need to report on it again with some new information.
With a population of 700,000 people, Bhutan is known as a country of farmers. If they didn’t think they could feed a large population on organic crops, they wouldn’t declare organic farming to be the best form of agriculture for their country with a comprehensive plan to make the change.
Last month at the Prime Minister Jigmi Thinley told his government he is developing a National Organic Policy because the country’s farmers are increasingly convinced that “by working in harmony with nature, they can help sustain the flow of nature’s bounties.”......................

have to share this from Anita Moorjani

 

 

"Imagine, if you will, a huge, dark warehouse. You live there with only one flashlight to see by. Everything you know about what’s contained within this enormous space is what you’ve seen by the beam of one small flashlight. Whenever you want to look for something, you may or may not find it, but that doesn’t mean the thing doesn’t exist. It’s there, but you just haven’t shone your light on it. An...d even when you do, the object you see may be difficult to make out. You may get a fairly clear idea of it, but often you’re left wondering. You can only see what your light is focused on, and only identify that which you already know.
That is what physical life is like. We’re only aware of what we focus our senses on at any given time, and we can only understand what is already familiar.

Next, imagine that one day, someone flicks on a switch. There for the first time, in a sudden burst of brilliance and sound and color, you can see the entire warehouse, and it’s nothing like anything you’d ever imagined. Lights are blinking, flashing, glowing, and shooting sparks of red, yellow, blue, and green. You see colors you don’t recognize, ones you’ve never seen before. Music floods the room with fantastic, kaleidoscopic, surround-sound melodies you’ve never heard before.

Neon signs pulse and boogie in rainbow strobes of cherry, lemon, vermillion, grape, lavender, and gold. Electric toys run on tracks up, down, and around shelves stacked with indescribable colored boxes, packages, papers, pencils, paints, inks, cans of food, packages of multihued candies, bottles of effervescent sodas, chocolates of every possible variety, champagne, and wines from every corner of the world. Skyrockets suddenly explode in starbursts, setting off sparkling flowers, cascades of cold fire, whistling embers, and animations of light.

The vastness, complexity, depth, and breadth of everything going on around you is almost overwhelming. You can’t see all the way to the end of the space, and you know there’s more to it than what you can take in from this torrent that’s tantalizing your senses and emotions. But you do get a strong feeling that you’re actually part of something alive, infinite, and altogether fantastic, that you are part of a large and unfolding tapestry that goes beyond sight and sound.

You understand that what you used to think was your reality was, in fact, hardly a speck within the vast wonder that surrounds you. You can see how all the various parts are interrelated, how they all play off each other, how everything fits. You notice just how many different things there are in the warehouse that you’d never seen, never even dreamed of existing in such splendor and glory of color, sound, and texture—but here they are, along with everything you already knew. And even the objects you were aware of have an entirely new context so that they, too, seem completely new and strangely superreal.

Even when the switch goes back off, nothing can take away your understanding and clarity, the wonder and beauty, or the fabulous aliveness of the experience. Nothing can ever cancel your knowledge of all that exists in the warehouse. You’re now far more aware of what’s there, how to access it, and what’s possible than you ever were with your little flashlight. And you’re left with a sense of awe over everything you experienced in those blindingly lucid moments. Life has taken on a different meaning, and your new experiences moving forward are created from this awareness." ~ Anita Moorjani from Dying To Be Me

wild woman

La Mariposa, Butterfly Woman
By Clarissa Pinkola Estes

…To the visitors, a butterfly is a delicate thing. “O fragile beauty,” they dream. So they are necessarily shaken when out hops Maria Lujan.
And she is big, really big, like the Venus of Willendorf, like the Mother of Days, like Diego Rivera’s heroic-size woman who built Mexico City with a single curl of her wrist.
And Maria Lujan, oh, she is old, very, very old, like a woman come back from dust, old like old river, old like old pines at timberline. One of her shoulders is bare. Her red-and-black manta, blanket dress, hops up and down with her inside it. Her heavy body and her very skinny legs made her look like a hopping spider wrapped in a tamale. She hops on one foot and then on the other. She waves her feather fan to and fro. She is The Butterfly arrived to strengthen the weak. She is that which most think of as not strong: age, the butterfly, the feminine.
Butterfly Maiden’s hair reaches to the ground. It is thick as ten maize sheaves and it is stone gray. And she wears butterfly wings-the kind you see on little children who are being angels in school plays. Her hips are like two bouncing bushel baskets and the fleshy shelf at the top of her buttocks is wide enough to ride two children. She hops, hops, hops, not like a rabbit, but in footsteps that leave echoes.
“I am here, here, here…
“I am here, here, here…
“Awaken you, you, you!”
She sways her feather fan up and down, spreading the earth and the people of the earth with the pollinating spirit of the butterfly. Her shell bracelets rattle like snakes, her bell garters tinkle like rain. Her shadow with its big belly and little legs dances from one side of the dance circle to the other. Her feet leave little puffs of dust behind. The tribes are reverent, involved. But some visitors look at each other and murmur “This is it? This is the Butterfly Maiden?” They are puzzled, some even disillusioned. They no longer seem to remember that the spirit world is a place where wolves are women, bears are husbands, and old women of lavish dimensions are butterflies.
Yes, it is fitting that Wild Woman/Butterfly Woman is old and substantial, for she carries the thunder world in one breast, the underworld in the other. Her back is the curve of the planet Earth with all its crops and foods and animals. The back of her neck carries the sunrise and the sunset. Her left thigh holds all the lodge poles, her right thigh all the she-wolves of the world. Her belly holds all the babies that will ever be born.
Butterfly Maiden is the female fertilizing force. Carrying the pollen from one place to another, she cross-fertilizes, just as the soul fertilizes mind with night dreams, just as archetypes fertilize the mundane world. She is the centre. She brings the opposites together by taking a little from here and putting it there. Transformation is no more complicated that that. This is what she teaches. This is how the butterfly does it. This is how the soul does it.
Butterfly Woman mends the erroneous idea that transformation is only for the tortured, the saintly, or only for the fabulously strong. The Self need not carry mountains to transform. A little is enough. A little goes a long way. A little changes much. The fertilizing force replaces the moving of mountains.
Butterfly Maiden pollinates the souls of the earth: It is easier that you think, she says. She is shaking her feather fan, and she’s hopping, for she is spilling spiritual pollen all over the people who are there, Native Americans, little children, visitors, everyone. She is using her entire body as a blessing, her old, frail, big, short-legged, short-necked, spotted body. This is woman connected to her wild nature, the translator of the instinctual, the fertilizing force, the mender, the rememberer of old ideas. She is La voz mitológica. She is wild woman personified.
The butterfly dancer must be old because she represents the soul that is old. She is wide of thigh and broad of rump because she carries much. Her grey hair certifies that she need no longer observe taboos about touching others. She is allowed to touch everyone: boys, babies, men, women, girl children, the old, the ill, and the dead. The Butterfly Woman can touch everyone. It is her privilege to touch all, at last. This is her power. Hers is the body of La Mariposa, the butterfly.
- Clarissa Pinkola Estes

Hope for Spinal Cord Injuries

Laura Wong has coaxed damaged nerve cells to grow and send messages to the brain again

Unlike tissues such as skin and bone, the cells of the central nervous system in an adult are notoriously resistant to healing. Illustration: Katelyn Comeau

 

“An ailment not to be treated,” read the prescription for a spinal cord injury on an Egyptian papyrus in 1,700 B.C. Not much has changed in the intervening millennia. Despite decades of research, modern medicine has made little headway in its quest to reverse damage to the central nervous system.

That is not to say, however, that there isn’t a glimmer of hope. Laura Wong, an M.D./Ph.D. student in Professor Eric Frank’s molecular physiology lab at the Sackler School, has been able to coax damaged nerve cells known as sensory neurons to regenerate, growing as much as 10 times longer than previously documented.

While attending graduate school in astronomy at the University of California, Berkeley, O'Leary published several scientific papers on the Martian atmosphere. O'Leary's Ph.D. thesis in 1967 was on the Martian surface.[4] Soon after completing his Ph.D. thesis, O'Leary was the first astronaut specifically selected for a potential manned Mars mission when it was still in NASA's program plan, projected for the 1980s as a follow-on to the Apollo lunar program. O'Leary was the only planetary scientist-astronaut in NASA's astronaut corps during the Apollo program. O'Leary resigned from the astronaut program in April 1968, and cited several reasons for resigning in his The Making of an Ex-Astronaut, which included the cancellation of the Mars program in early 1968.
After O'Leary's resignation from NASA, Carl Sagan recruited him to teach at Cornell University in 1968, where he researched and lectured until 1971. While teaching at Cornell, he studied lunar mascons. O'Leary subsequently taught astronomy, physics, and science policy assessment at several academic institutions, including the University of California at Berkeley School of Law (1971–1972) Hampshire College (1972–75) and Princeton University (1976–1981).

Abstract

The tumor microenvironment is acidic as a consequence of upregulated glycolysis and poor perfusion and this acidity, in turn, promotes invasion and metastasis. We have recently demonstrated that chronic consumption of sodium bicarbonate increased tumor pH and reduced spontaneous and experimental metastases. This occurred without affecting systemic pH, which was compensated. Additionally, these prior data did not rule out the possibility that bicarbonate was working though effects on carbonic anhydrase, and not as a buffer per se. Here, we present evidence that chronic ingestion of a non-volatile buffer, 2-imidazole-1-yl-3-ethoxycarbonylpropionic acid (IEPA) with a pK (a) of 6.9 also reduced metastasis in an experimental PC3M prostate cancer mouse model. Animals (n = 30) were injected with luciferase expressing PC3M prostate cancer cells either subcutaneously (s.c., n = 10) or intravenously (i.v., n = 20). Four days prior to inoculations, half of the animals for each experiment were provided drinking water containing 200 mM IEPA buffer. Animals were imaged weekly to follow metastasis, and these data showed that animals treated with IEPA had significantly fewer experimental lung metastasis compared to control groups (P < 0.04). Consistent with prior work, the pH of treated tumors was elevated compared to controls. IEPA is observable by in vivo magnetic resonance spectroscopy and this was used to measure the presence of IEPA in the bladder, confirming that it was orally available. The results of this study indicate that metastasis can be reduced by non-volatile buffers as well as bicarbonate and thus the effect appears to be due to pH buffering per se.

Abstract

The external pH of solid tumors is acidic as a consequence of increased metabolism of glucose and poor perfusion. Acid pH has been shown to stimulate tumor cell invasion and metastasis in vitro and in cells before tail vein injection in vivo. The present study investigates whether inhibition of this tumor acidity will reduce the incidence of in vivo metastases. Here, we show that oral NaHCO(3) selectively increased the pH of tumors and reduced the formation of spontaneous metastases in mouse models of metastatic breast cancer. This treatment regimen was shown to significantly increase the extracellular pH, but not the intracellular pH, of tumors by (31)P magnetic resonance spectroscopy and the export of acid from growing tumors by fluorescence microscopy of tumors grown in window chambers. NaHCO(3) therapy also reduced the rate of lymph node involvement, yet did not affect the levels of circulating tumor cells, suggesting that reduced organ metastases were not due to increased intravasation. In contrast, NaHCO(3) therapy significantly reduced the formation of hepatic metastases following intrasplenic injection, suggesting that it did inhibit extravasation and colonization. In tail vein injections of alternative cancer models, bicarbonate had mixed results, inhibiting the formation of metastases from PC3M prostate cancer cells, but not those of B16 melanoma. Although the mechanism of this therapy is not known with certainty, low pH was shown to increase the release of active cathepsin B, an important matrix remodeling protease.

Gehirnjogging für den Zappelphilipp

Neurofeedback in der ADHS-Therapie

Das Aufmerksamkeitsdefizit-/Hyperaktivitätssyndrom ADHS ist die häufigste psychische Störung bei Kindern und Jugendlichen. Viele junge Patienten könnten von einer noch relativ unbekannten Therapieform profitieren: Dem Neurofeedbacktraining.

ADHS

shutterstock.com/2265524729

Samuel Krüger ist sieben Jahre alt, als bei ihm ADHS diagnostiziert wird. In der Schule kann er nicht stillsitzen, er ist unkonzentriert und wird gegenüber seinen Mitschülern aggressiv. Seiner Mutter, Melanie Krüger, ist schnell klar: „Ich möchte nicht, dass Samuel sofort mit Medikamenten therapiert wird “. Samuel macht nun regelmäßig eine spezielle Therapie: Er geht zum Neurofeedbacktraining.

 

So funktioniert Neurofeedbacktraining

Beim Neurofeedbacktraining sitzt das Kind vor einem Computerbildschirm und kann über seine Gehirnströme ein Computerprogramm steuern. Das gelingt über mehrere Elektroden, die absolut schmerzlos am Kopf der kleinen Patienten aufgeklebt werden und die Aktivität der Hirnströme auf den Computer übertragen. Konzentriert sich das Kind, kann es zum Beispiel ein Raumschiff auf dem Bildschirm nach oben bewegen. Entspannt es sich wieder, sinkt das Raumschiff nach unten. „Samuel hat auf diese Weise gelernt, sich gezielt zu konzentrieren und zu entspannen“, erklärt Melanie Krüger. „Seitdem er das Training absolviert ist er ausgeglichen und zufrieden“.
Wissenschaftler gehen davon aus, dass bei vielen ADHS-Patienten die Aktivierung der Hirnrinde gestört ist. Mittels Neurofeedback lernen Betroffene, die Hirnaktivität selbst zu steuern und so ihr Verhalten bewusst zu ändern. „Bislang ist allerdings noch nicht abschließend geklärt, wie Neurofeedback bei ADHS wirkt”, berichtet Dr. Hanna Christiansen, Diplom-Psychologin an der Universität Marburg. Christiansen leitet seit dem Jahr 2011 eine Studie, die die Wirksamkeit von Neurofeedback bei Kindern im Vergleich mit einer anderen Therapie bei ADHS erforscht. „Wir konnten bislang feststellen, dass das Neurofeedbacktraining Hyperaktivität, Unaufmerksamkeit und Impulsivität bei Kindern mit ADHS effektiv mindert“, berichtet Christiansen. „Wie lange die Effekte anhalten und welche Kinder besonders gut vom Training profitieren, können wir allerdings erst nach Abschluss der Studie sagen“.

ADHS: Eine häufige Erkrankung

Ebenso wie Samuel leiden in Deutschland nach Angaben der Bundesärztekammer zwei bis sieben Prozent aller Kinder und Jugendlichen unter ADHS. Dies bedeutet, dass durchschnittlich in jedem Klassenzimmer etwa ein Kind sitzt, bei dem die Störung diagnostiziert wurde. Viele Kinder kämpfen - trotz  normaler oder überdurchschnittlicher Intelligenz – mit schulischen Problemen und der Entwicklung von weiteren psychischen Störungen.
Bislang gelten meist Medikamenten und eine Verhaltenstherapie als Behandlung der Wahl. „Wir wissen aber, dass viele Eltern einer Medikation ihrer Kinder skeptisch gegenüber stehen, weil sie zum Beispiel Angst vor Nebenwirkungen haben“, berichtet Hanna Christiansen. Die Diplom-Psychologin warnt jedoch davor, eine Medikation bei ADHS generell abzulehnen: „Bei jedem Kind sollte individuell entschieden werden, welche Therapie sinnvoll ist“. Christiansen erklärt weiter: „Manchmal schafft eine Medikation erst die Voraussetzungen, dass eine Kind am Neurofeedbacktraining teilnehmen kann“. Neurofeedback könne dementsprechend eine konventionelle Therapie bei ADHS entweder ergänzen oder ersetzen.

 

Motivation ist unabdingbar

Die Studie an der Universität Marburg ist die erste Untersuchung, bei der Kinder ambulant über drei Monate zweimal wöchentlich am Neurofeedbacktraining teilnehmen.  „Wir therapieren die Kinder über einen kurzen Zeitraum sehr intensiv“, erklärt Christiansen. „Aber gerade bei Kindern ist es wichtig, dass eine Therapie schnell Effekte zeigt“. Für eine erfolgreiche Behandlung sei es jedoch vor allem unabdingbar, dass die Kinder motiviert an den Sitzungen teilnehmen. Aus diesem Grund setzt die Uni Marburg auf kindgerechte Programme beim Neurofeedbacktraining. „Besonders beliebt ist bei uns die Star Wars Akademie, bei der sich die Kinder am Computer schrittweise zu Meister Yoda hocharbeiten“, erklärt Christiansen.  Auch Melanie Krüger war am Anfang skeptisch, ob ihr Sohn Freude an den Therapiesitzungen hat. „Samuel erlebt das Neurofeedbacktraining aber absolut spielerisch“, berichtet seine Mutter.

 

Noch keine Standardtherapie

Die Wirksamkeit und Wirkweise von Neurofeedback wird derzeit an verschiedenen Universitäten erforscht. „Die Universität Tübingen prüft das Verfahren auch bei Erwachsenen mit ADHS“, berichtet Hanna Christiansen. Als Standardtherapie ist die Therapie jedoch noch nicht anerkannt. Das bedeutet, dass Neurofeedback zwar vielerorts angeboten wird, die Kosten aber von den Krankenkassen bislang nur im Rahmen von Studien übernommen werden. Für Familie Krüger, deren Sohn Samuel die Behandlung in einem ADHS-Therapiecamp absolviert, schlägt deshalb jede Behandlung mit etwa 50 Euro zu Buche. Melanie Krüger rät Eltern, die ihr Kind auf eigene Kosten mit Neurofeedback therapieren lassen, unbedingt zu prüfen, ob der Anbieter seriös ist. „Eltern sollten erfragen, ob der Therapeut über ein Ausbildungszertifikat für Neurofeedback verfügt und sich vergewissern, dass das Training von einer adäquaten psychologischen Betreuung und Testung begleitet wird“, so Krüger. Für Samuel habe sich das Training absolut gelohnt, berichtet die Mutter. „Das Neurofeedback hat nicht nur Samuels Leistungen in der Schule verbessert. Es hat auch die gesamte Situation in unserer Familie entspannt“.

Teflon, plastic Bisphenol A (BPA) and di-(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP)

...........Our food, it seems, is always touching plastic. Plastics play a part in every phase of food production and preparation. Food gets processed on plastic equipment, and packaged and shipped in plastic-lined boxes and cans. At home, we store and reheat the leftovers in plastic containers.

Teflon and related nonstick coatings on pots and pans aren't widely suspected of being toxic if swallowed. However, Teflon and all nonstick cookware can release toxic chemicals during manufacture and disposal, as well as during use at very high temperatures -- temperatures over 500 degrees.

..............in recent years, two plastic-associated compounds have been singled out for particular scrutiny, due to their endocrine-disrupting properties: Bisphenol A (BPA) and di-(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP). Studies of bioaccumulation have shown that detectable levels of BPA in urine have been identified in 95 percent of the adult population in the U.S. and both BPA and DEHP have been associated, through epidemiological and animal studies, with adverse effects on health and reproduction. These include early sexual maturation, decreased male fertility, aggressive behavior and other effects. .............
