Your most burning question…

We will compile the questions and let Doc know.

From the award-winning documentary, “Playing For Change: Peace Through Music,” comes the first of many “songs around the world” being released independently. This amazing version of “Stand by Me” have me dancing to the beat of the music and brought a smile to my face, and I hope it will do the same for you amidst this Mexican Swine Flu scare.

Watch it from beginning to end—you won’t regret it. This cover of Stand By Me was recorded by completely unknown artists in a street virtual studio all around the world!

Enjoy!

Today, the Singapore government gave an update of the Mexican Swine Flu.

Mr Khaw Boon Wan, the Health Minister, spoke about the difference between SARS and the current Mexican Swine Flu. Describing it as a new war, he cautioned that the swine flu is more challenging, giving three reasons.

“Firstly, the swine flu is more contagious. Secondly, patients can be infectious before symptoms appear. Hence, border controls may not be fool-proof and there may be leakages.”

Lastly, Mr Khaw said that historically, flu pandemic tends to come in waves. While the initial wave may look mild, the second one can be quite lethal.

So the swine flu pandemic is likely to be long-drawn, and Mr Khaw added that the people must be mentally and psychologically prepared for the long haul.

I had a sort of a revelation this morning and I can’t wait to share it with you.

You know, how sometimes we tend to go for the cheapest in price? …

Well it happened to me one day when I took back home a set of sticky notepads. It looks like the famous 3M sticky notepads and I can’t feel the difference between the two.

The telling difference, however, surfaced straightaway when I start to use it.

Check out the 2 pictures below:

Need to be held in place with a scotch tape

So which one is from 3M?

Yes, the one at the bottom… the one that does not require a scotch tape to hold it in place… you see, the sticky glue behind the cheaper one couldn’t hold it in place!

The one on top actually costs about a third of the 3M product.

This brings to mind Tahitian Noni Juice and other noni products.

Now, do you know the difference between TNJ and the others?

Do you know why TNJ may cost more than the ones you find in a local store?

Doc is currently in Ireland! Doc sends his greetings and would share some case studies upon his return.

How to be as smart as Einstein?

TNJ has many benefits with the Brain and the Central Nervous System. This can be demonstrated in art with anyone, with a totally normal brain.

The two sides of the brain, the Left and Right Hemispheres do not function in the same way.

In a simplistic comparison the Left side which is connected to the Right hand, is primarily “Details, Order, and Sequence”. The Right side holds “Pattern, Flow, and Projection”.

One side of the Brain will be Dominant and the other Sub-dominant. This is not related to Handedness. It may coincide or it may not.

We function best when both sides work fully and are integrated as well.

Demonstrating the strength of one side and the weakness of the other is easily done.

Stand comfortably Right arm bent 90 degrees at the elbow, palm up. Place a hand under the wrist and have the person gradually push the back of the hand toward the floor harder and harder until using full strength., Then repeat this with the Left arm.

Now have them sit comfortably and stably.

Bring the Right knee up as high as possible and resist being pushed back toward the floor. Repeat with the Left leg as well.

You will have one strong side and one weaker side. This is the way we function most of the time.

Now test coordination.

Bring the Left arm to 90 degrees palm up. Tap the fingers of the Right hand into the palm alternating between the front and back of the fingers as fast as possible. Then tap the Left fingers onto the Right palm the same way. There is usually a very big difference in speed and coordination between the two. Ask about how tired or alert they feel.

Give the test subject 2-3 oz of TNJ, a glass of water then wait for 20 to 30 minutes.

Now repeat the testing of the arms and legs. The weak side will be much stronger.

Test coordination.

The Left hand will be much faster and more coordinated. When asked how they feel they are usually alert and full of energy, not tired.

The increase in strength comes from a stronger Nerve Signal to the weaker side. The same with the coordination and integration of the two sides of the brain. The energy is from Activation of brain function not the kind of Stimulation you would get from Caffeine.

We all need to work and function with both sides of the brain all of the time.

The demonstration can be found in our Take Control of Your Health: DVD Set III.

Thought for the Week: Your Mental Attitude is the Most Dependable Key to Your Personality.

Your view of yourself will greatly influence how others perceive you. If you are a confident, cheerful, positive person, your co-workers, friends, and family will be attracted to your personality. If you are unhappy, negative, and always complaining about your situation, others will be repelled. Even when at times you don’t feel very happy, by forcing yourself to behave in a positive fashion, you will find that you soon feel genuinely upbeat, because your subconscious mind doesn’t know the difference between an artificial emotion and the real thing. When you behave positively, you will positively influence everyone around you-including yourself.

A few weeks ago, Susan Boyle was alone and lonely.  She freely admitted she’d never even been kissed.  And at 47, life had nearly passed her by.

One glance at the poor woman and you would have immediately known why.

After all – haven’t our movies and TV taught us that successful people are always good-looking, intelligent, talented and, well … cool?

And haven’t they also taught us that people who look like Susan are dim-witted, ungifted, worthless – and in some cases, even villainous?

Little wonder that, when Susan dared share her dream of singing on stage, most people only snickered at her …

When she said she would audition for the British version of American Idol, the laughing grew louder …

And when Susan waddled onto the stage and told Simon Cowell that her dream was to be a star, the guffaws exploded into a deafening roar.

Because, after all:  Everyone knows that singing stars never, ever look like Susan.

Watch what happened next …

Despite what many people think, fear and courage are not opposites.  In much the same way that the words “success” and “failure” are meaningless without each other, “courage” cannot exist where there is no fear.

Your assignment for this week: Name the fear that’s standing between you and the success you dream of – and tell us what you’re going to do this week to beat it!

The first time I watched this movie almost two years ago, tears just flowed. I was inspired by the father’s love for his son and the son’s love, trust and admiration for his dad. It was a story of love, of care, of wanting the best for each another in the family, and along the way motivating each other to give of each others best. It reminds me of dad’s care for me when I was but a young boy.

So… what have we done in loving deeds for our loved ones today?

It needs not be something complicated.

It could be a touch of encouragement, a whisper of hope for the future or perhaps an embrace to celebrate the present moment.

May this video inspires you to have a “Can Do” spirit in all your endeavors too.

“This is the story of Dick and Rick Hoyt, a father-and-son team from Massachusetts who together compete just about continuously in marathon races. And if they’re not in a marathon they are in a triathlon — a combination of 26.2 miles of running, 112 miles of bicycling, and 2.4 miles of swimming! Together they have climbed mountains, and once trekked 3,735 miles across America.

It’s a remarkable record of exertion — all the more so when you consider that Rick can’t walk or talk.

For the past twenty five years or more Dick, who is 65, has pushed and pulled his son across the country and over hundreds of finish lines. When Dick runs, Rick is in a wheelchair that Dick is pushing. When Dick cycles, Rick is in the seat-pod from his wheelchair, attached to the front of the bike. When Dick swims, Rick is in a small but heavy, firmly stabilized boat being pulled by Dick.”

Optimal Nutrition - How to prevent sugar spikes

Our diet is a major determinant of how well our body will function and repair itself. TNJ has shown very clearly how vital TNJ Nutrients are to healing and repair, performance and recovery, full integrated function of both brain hemispheres, handling stress properly, DNA protection and repair, protection from environmental and internal toxins. TNJ does even more that we have yet to define.

Diet provides not only NUTRIENTS to activate physiologic system function it provides SUBSTRATES for Energy and Building. We eat Carbohydrates, Fats, Proteins, Vitamins, Minerals, DNA encoded Nutrients, natural and synthetic Chemicals (not encoded in our DNA blueprint), and Water. These function in our bodies not only in enzymatic and chemical (volumetric) mechanisms but many also have quantum physics/electromagnetic properties and mechanisms.

Our Modern Lifesyles and Modern Diets have created many problems for our physiologic systems. The vast majority of us if we drink a Soda, eat a Sandwich, snack on chips or crackers, or eat a dessert or any othe rapid digesting carbohydrate (high glycemic index) will experience a surge of blood sugar in 10 to 20 minutes. The pancreas will respond with a burst of Insulin, overshoot the sugar level and drop the blood level below normal. The body will call on the liver and other sources to boost blood sugar into another high spike. A second Insulin burst makes us Hypoglycemic again. The body responds with a 3RD  blood sugar spike and 3rd drop below normal before levelling out in normal range. This standard pattern, described by Dr Somogi in 1930 just 9 years after Drs Banting and Best discovered Insulin in 1921, happens to us several to many times every day.

Insulin is linked directly to 18 or more major regulatory hormones in a chain. Wiggle one wiggle them all!

The Somogi Response creates a 3 wave tsunami down our regulatory chain affecting Brain, Liver, Pancreas, Gut, Muscle, Hypo-Thalamic/Pituitary/Adrenal Axis, Thyroid, Growth Hormone, Leptin, Ghrellin, Gallinin, Cholecystokinin, Cortisol and Corticosterone, Prolactin, Testosterone, and Endorphin/Enkephlin neurotransmitters, plus several more hormones you have never even heard about. Insulin Resistance with constantly elevated levels of Insulin, disrupts this regulatory chain to cause The Pre-Diabetic or Metabolic Syndome (Syndrome X).

Complex Carbohydrates are natural, unprocessed, combine carbohydrate with various forms of fiber and digest in 1 to 3 HOURS not 10 to 20 minutes. Slow digesting complex carbs (low glycemic index) create a smooth uniform rise in blood sugar within normal range without spikes and rebound hypoglycemia. Eat a 50 gram (200KCal) serving 4 to 5 times a day (that’s about 1/2 of an 1800 KCal Diabetic Diet) for 2 weeks while avoiding rapid digesting carbs and oils (short chain oils are used to fry chips and crackers), and the battered regulatory hormones and organs become calm and effective again. Now a can of Coke for example at 10 AM (after a good slow digesting breakfast) creates a small bump in blood sugar, not the Somogi Response.

You are now ready to add SOME rapid digesting carbs to your diet as long as you eat 4 or more servings of Low Glycemic Index Carbohydrates daily. You can find lists on the Internet of both High and Low Glycemic Index foods. Fruits, Vegetables, Beans, Heavy whole grain breads, nuts are the basics.

The Mediterranean Diet is heavy in fresh fruits, fresh or steamed vegetables, salads, olive oil, fish poultry, dairy, pork, lamb, poultry and dairy. It avoids excess refined sugars, bleached flours, and processed foods (MSG and other Excitotoxins). This dietary pattern dramatically reduces inflammation in joints, blood vessels, and other soft tissues AFTER the 10th WEEK then continuously. This works well for Rheumatoid Arthritis, Lupus (SLE), and should work for Multiple Sclerosis and Diabetes mellitus and many other conditions.

This is the dietary pattern plus regular TNJ recommended by AskDrRichardWilliams.com for everyone and particularly for those with health challenges.
