Part 4 - Desire for Revenge


Desire for Revenge (a characteristic of underdeveloped minds)

The big payback.  Ever have someone do something to you and you feel that you have to get them back?  

You feel disrespected, embarrassed or even violated.  It won't make everything better, but to have them experience what you felt will make you feel somewhat better.  You want to teach them a lesson so that they think twice before crossing you the wrong way again.  

The only thing is that the cycle never ends.  Revenge begets more revenge.  It can be like a nasty energy that is passed from person to person.  

Also, if someone can't take the revenge out on the main target, then they will take it out on someone else that is weaker.  This begins the bully syndrome.  

It takes up mental energy that can be spent towards constructive activities that build you up and help to move you forward.  Revenge is looking backwards.  

This does not mean taking whatever is dished to you, being weak and not protecting yourself.  It means not being encompassed by the idea of revenge at all times.  

Some folks intentionally hurt others and deserve to get whatever is coming to them.  Most people may harm others, do not know it, and would apologize and do whatever is necessary to rectify the situation.  

Instead of jumping to conclusions, communication may be helpful to divert negative emotions that can fester and lead to improper reaction to the issue at hand.  This saves time, drama and is beneficial to continue to grow good relationships.

Next, we will get intimate with the Desire for Sexual Contact...

Part 3 - Desire for Financial Gain


Why would anyone not want to make more money?  

Money is a medium of exchange that circulate between people.  It is a way to get what you need in order to do what you want.  It is a physical representation of the effort that you exert and offer to others for their use.  If you don't do anything, you don't get any money.  

For some people, money is their ego.  They feel powerful if they have a lot of it.  This is because other people who want more money defer to them in hopes of a chance to gain the opportunity to get more money.  

Some people were raised without money and the fear of being impoverished causes them to say “never again”.  

Getting money is a game.  When you understand the game of money, it is not always the money itself, but the thrill of playing and winning the game of money which is the driving force to keep playing.  

Money is meant to be in circulation.  This is why money is used as “currency”.  

Money is also an idea.  It's worth is based on people agreeing that it is worthy and valuable.  When you feel that you are worthy and what you have is valuable, you are able to get more money.  

Money can only be increased quickly by including other people.  Besides selling your valued wares, you have to use other people time, other peoples money, and other people's energy. 

J.P. Getty of Getty gasoline stations said, “I would rather get 1 percent of 100 people's effort, than 100 percent of my own effort”.

How do feel about money? What were initial experiences and relationship about money?  All of this shaped your ability to earn, save, invest and be responsible with money.

Some folks say, "Money is the root of all evil."  The verse actually says, "the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil."  I have also heard it said that, "the lack of money is the root of all evil."  

Once we decide what we want, and are conscious of why we need and want money, we can move clearly towards our financial goals.

In Part 4 will explore the Desire for Revenge.

Part 2 - Desire for Egotism


Egotism is the desire to be “the Man” or “the Woman”.  To be the Alpha Male/ Female.  To be the one in charge, the one that everyone looks to as the example of excellence, as the model of what things should look like.  

Things can be tough, but you will eventually come out on top.  You are the champion of the arena, the “top dog”, are at the top of the pile.  You are like this because you are willing to do what others don't do, to get results that others don't get.  

Every performance you work to do your best.  Mediocrity is not an option.  You do not accept failure.  Failure is motivation to learn from your mistakes, to strategize and use the lessons learned for your next mission.  

Fear does not paralyze you.  When faced with difficult situations, you take a deep breath, puff out your chest, straighten your back and go for it, you charge at and take charge of your target.  

You plan effectively and “win before you fight”.  

You enjoy the “flashing lights”, the roar of the crowd, the admiration of fans, the thrill of the fight.  You love taking the victory lap and being the owner of bragging rights.  

You are the best of the best, the cream of the crop, the unattainable, you cannot be stopped.  Like water, you push through, over, under and around any obstacle.  

It is hard work being the best, but it is all worth it.  If you lost it all, you could always get it back because this what champions do.  You are a champion.  You are a winner.

Laetrile Therapy for Prevention (and treatment) for Cancer


A quick and easy way to help prevent the onset of the body imbalance known as “Cancer” is to eat the seeds in many of the common fresh fruits and other foods that you consume.

Scientific studies and independent case studies have shown that Nitriloside, also known as Vitamin B17 is very helpful in the prevention and treatment of cancer.  Dr. Ernst Krebs, the leading authority on the relationship between cancer and nitrilosides is quoted as saying, “These nitrilosides just might be to cancer what vitamin C is to scurvy, niacin is to pellagra, what vitamin B12 and folic acid are to pernicious anemia”. (Cancer News Journal, May/ August, 1970)

In Hunza, a small country in the Himalaya Mountains, the Hunzatans commonly live to be more than 100 years of age.  The people who live here are actually free of cancer, heart disease, high cholesterol and high blood pressure. 

The Hunzakats have diet high in plant based foods and do not eat any “processed foods,” except for the natural process of making butter and cheese from the fresh milk produced by their livestock.  It is also against their local laws to use chemical pesticides.

A staple of their diet is the apricot. They commonly remove the seeds by cracking the apricot pit, and press out the oil which is used for various purposes like fuel, salad dressing and even as facial moisturizer. 

The Tao Peublo Indians of New Mexico are also cancer and arthritis free.  They have a traditional beverage which is made from the kernels of cherries, peaches and apricots.  They mix about ¼ ounce (about two dozen kernels) of ground apricot kernels which have been oven roasted for 10 minutes at 300 degrees, in juice with a tablespoon of honey.  The oven roasting of the kernels destroys enzymes that could otherwise upset the stomach when consuming this large amount of kernels. 

These common foods and fruit seeds have a high content of the cancer preventing and destroying Vitamin B17:
  • Apricots
  • Peaches
  • Apples
  • Prunes
  • Plums
  • Cherries
  • Nectarines
  • Millet
  • Buckwheat
  • Macadamia nuts
  • Bamboo shoots
  • Mung Beans
  • Lima Beans
  • Butter Beans

As a dietary supplement, 7-12 apricot and/or peach kernels can be eaten daily.

Apricot kernels and Peach kernels are used by the Chinese as herbal medicine and are commonly available in a local Chinatown under the names “Xing Ren” (Apricot kernel) and “Tao Ren” (Peach Kernel).  I also have both Apricot and Peach Kernels available for $15 a pound

Part 7 - Putting It All Together

I started this series with some startling statistics on the rates of overweight and/ or obese adults in the U.S., and how being overweight or obese drastically increases ones chance of being diagnosed with a degenerative disease like cancer, high blood pressure, diabetes or heart disease. 


One of the keys to health that was revealed was how necessary it is to keep your body clean and free of toxins as a way of protecting yourself from disease. This is achieved by a regular “cleanse” of your blood, organs and intestines. 


You have to get rid of the accumulated waste from processed foods, greasy and fatty foods, unclean water, the effects of harmful radiation from electrical devices like cell phones and computers, mercury in dental fillings, the toxic air in the environment, etc…. 


Another key was transcribed from the walls of the temples in Ancient Egypt and is the infamous maxim, “Know Thyself.” 


Knowing Yourself means knowing what makes you tick. 


We all have different body constitutions. When you know what makes you strong versus what makes you weak, you can make decisions with intention towards being as strong as you can be. Otherwise, you may think that you are doing what is best, but are actually only running in place or worse, going backwards! 


Having a regimen that is specifically formulated for you is crucial for you to experience optimal health. 


For example… 

• There are 361 points on the main 14 acupuncture meridians. During an Acupuncture treatment, I only use about 8 of these points on you at one time. 

• Out of more than 500 Chinese herbs in the Herbal Materia Medica, only 4-12 herbs are used at one time in your personalized herbal formula…. And by the way, Goldenseal and Echinacea are not the cure all for everything! 

• What is needed for your individual needs and goals is assessed during your in depth Initial Health Consultation which lasts over 1 ½ hours. When is the last time your doctor spent that much time with you? 


**************************************************************** 


You rip and run all day working to make ends meet and enjoy life. It is ridiculous that the price of rent, gas and overall cost of living is steadily rising, causing you to work harder to just to maintain your current lifestyle. This can be very stressful. Because of this, it is necessary to also budget your own self into your time, making sure that you take time to recharge your batteries. 


The easiest way to quickly relieve stress and recharge is to regulate your breathing. 


When you consciously take long deep breaths, your heart rate will slow down and your mind will automatically become calm. Deep breathing alone will extend your life and strengthen your mind, body and spirit! 


Take one minute now to inhale and exhale deeply and notice how you feel afterwards… 


When you receiving professional healthcare services like Acupuncture or Massage or Rei Ki, you will first experience a deep sense of well being and relaxation from your daily hustle and grind. 


All wholistic and alternative medicine services work on the subtle energetic levels of the body, supercharging your immune system and giving you a clarity of mind that you may have never experienced. 


Patients of mine have: 

• Detoxed and Cleansed their system 

• Lost Weight 

• Stopped Smoking 

• Gotten Rid of Allergies 

• Decreased their Blood Pressure and Blood Sugar 

• Made remarkable changes in their eating habits 

• Began living more fulfilling lives… 


Don’t hesitate to call if you have any questions regarding your health. 


I already congratulate you for taking the steps towards a healthier you!
