Changing our Opinions - Ben Franklin

"For having lived long, I have experienced many instances of being obliged, by better information or fuller consideration, to change opinions, even on important subjects, which I once thought right but found to be otherwise."
- Benjamin Franklin

Lionizing a Founding Father is a simple task, to be sure, but Benjamin Franklin turns this process on its ear. He represents all we can be and all we should be, and likewise represents all we no longer seem to be or care to be today.

"He is worthy of admiration, which is easy, and worthy of emulation, which is not," writes William Rivers Pitt: http://www.truthout.org/docs_2006/070406Z.shtml.

The American Association for Health Freedom

"If people let the government decide what foods they eat and what medicines they take, their bodies will soon be in as sorry a state as the souls who live under tyranny." - Thomas Jefferson

AAHF is the politically active voice at the federal level for Americans to have the right to access a full range of health care treatment and prevention methods.

They ensure health freedom by lobbying Congress and crafting legislation; acting as government watchdog and filing comments on proposed rulings; educating the public, press, and decision- makers on integrative medicine; initiating legal activities (e.g., lawsuits, amicus briefs, petitions), and joining and forming significant coalitions: http://www.healthfreedom.net.

Germs don't cause disease - Dr. Alec Burton

"DO GERMS CAUSE DISEASE? Or could it be the other way around... first the disease, then the germs? Natural Hygiene contends that germs do not cause disease. They are not the originators.

Most diseases occur when people allow themselves to become enervated, that is, low in nerve energy. As a consequence, the organs of excretion fail to function normally and waste material accumulates in the body.

When this waste continues to build up, exceeding the body's toleration point, a crisis arises. The body, to offset this overabundance of poisonous matter, begins to react. The result of this reaction is sometimes a cold, the flu, pneumonia, or some such, depending on the individual.

At this crisis point of elimination, germs may or may not be present. They are sure to come later, not to attack, but to assist in the cleanup or cleansing process." - Dr. Alec Burton

Man's body vs. our artificial conditions

"The consideration of man's body has not changed to meet the new conditions of this artificial environment that has replaced his natural one. The result is that of perceptual discord between man and his environment. The effect of this discord is a general deterioration of man's body, the symptoms of which are termed disease."

- Professor Hilton Hotema

The healing powers of laughter and joy

"If people only knew the healing power of laughter and joy, many of our fine doctors would be out of business. Joy is one of Nature's greatest medicines. Joy is always healthy. A pleasant state of mind tends to bring abnormal conditions back to normal." - Catherine Ponder

True wealth is...

"True wealth is what you are, not what you have."

There is no such thing as a "self-made" man

There is no such thing as a "self-made" man. We are made up of thousands of others. Everyone who has ever done a kind deed for us, or spoken one word of encouragement to us, has entered into the make-up of our character and of our thoughts, as well as our success.
- George Matthew Adams (1878-1962), American Author

If only you are willing
Your mind they'll ease

And charge you not a shilling.

Thought of the day... Donna May

Learn from experience,
(as have i, so many times),
what all the good,
that just a simple smile,
or just a kind word, from you,
can all the great things do.

Make someone laugh today,
or just smile, it will brighten up
someone's life when you least
expect to give that great gift,
the gift of Peace, Love, and Harmony....

Blessed are they who can give a smile,
even, when,
their world seems to be crumbling 
down around them...

Peace, love and chicken grease....

love,
Donna may
