The seemingly inevitable slide to a two-class society
The income inequality gap is growing especially among western nations. There are titanic societal forces at work that are creating a future that has problems that appear to be currently unsolvable. It is a dilemma that permeates all segments of society and goes to the root of how it is economically structured. The changes seem intractable and the future largely uncertain. The above videos detail this problem very well, however both present neither cause or solutions. "Companies that sell [...]
Metabolic cholestatic pruritus
Metabolic cholestatic pruritus For the past year my girlfriend Adelle has been suffering from an unidentified ailment that caused extensive dry skin across the body and intense itching. No amount of moisturizing lotions or good fats in the diet such as coconut, omega 3s, fish oils, borage oil, primrose oil, olive oil, castor oil helped with the dry skin and antihistamines as well as corticosteroids could not relieve the itching. Recently Dr.Dan managed to identify it [...]
How to eliminate Candida & biofilms
Old ways of trying to combat candida often involved a candida diet and a cleanse of some kind. However these strategies have largely proven to be ineffective. The science has evolved so that very specific strategies can now be used as part of a comprehensive plan to eliminate candida. Candida has been blamed for almost every disease under the sun. It is really difficult to establish cause and correlation however, because the human body is incredibly complex and the human Microbiome is even more complex.
Specific Investing Strategies – 2013 onwards
The global economy since 2008 has begun the process of de-leveraging based on the end of a major debt super-cycle . Central banks have been printing money on a historic scale and interest rates are likely to stay near zero for the next 10 years as well. Return of capital will be challenging let alone return on capital. First of all some context for what the investing environment will be like for the next 10+ years of a [...]
Preparing for Endgame – The World is turning Japanese
"We are facing an extremely difficult time, comparable in many ways to the 1930s, the Great Depression. We are facing now a general retrenchment in the developed world, which threatens to put us in a decade of more stagnation, or worse. The best-case scenario is a deflationary environment. The worst-case scenario is a collapse of the financial system." ~ George Soros
Anxiety, Ammonia & the NMDA receptor
Anxiety, Ammonia & the NMDA receptor *Disclaimer: This article is my research in progress and is unfinished . It seems that using Resistant Starch and properly repopulating the gut with appropriate bacteria is the solution. Excess ammonia production caused by: A +/- CBS upregulation leads to 10-15x higher ammonia production. (some controversy around this however) SNS dominance leads a higher degree of protein turnover (for energy creation) and production of ammonia. Glutathione depletion leads to higher [...]
Global Crises as a kind of Therapy
First of all, as a race, in the context of normal usage, you have considered yourselves as apart from the rest of nature and consciousness. Your own survival as a species was your main concern. You considered other species only in the light of their use to you. You did not have any true conception of the great sacredness of all consciousness, nor of your relationship within it. You were losing your grasp of that great truth. In the present circumstances you are carrying that idea forward--of racial survival regardless of the consequences, the idea of changing the environment to suit your own purposes; and this has led you to a disregard of spiritual truths.
Affirmation
Affirmation "Affirmation means acceptance of your own miraculous complexity. It means saying "yes" to your own being. It means acquiescing to YOUR reality as a spirit in flesh. Within the framework of your own complexity you have the right to say "no" to certain situations, to express your desires, to communicate your feelings. If you do so, then in the great flow and sweep of your eternal reality there will be an overall [...]
Somatic Psychotherapy – a new paradigm
Somatic Psychotherapy - a new paradigm Einstein and his therapist Cognitive behavioral therapy has been the most dominant form of psychotherapy for the last 100 years deriving from Freud. Recent advances in neuropsychology however have come to question the very foundations of this understanding of human psychology. Somatic psychology takes nearly the opposite approach of cognitive behavioral psychology and rewrites many of our basic assumptions on how we think human beings work at the most basic level. Somatic psychotherapy is [...]
