The fear machine has ramped up in a recent Associated Press story about Methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus, or MRSA. It’s reportedly a deadly “superbug,” that enters the bloodstream or turns into a flesh eating disease. The study was published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, which means that it must be true. Well, that depends. If you didn’t…

Raw Fest Awakenings: Discovering Jasmuheen
I traveled to Sedona to visit the Raw Spirit Festival. This is the third annual running of this event. Whether you are into raw foods or not, it is an experience worth having. I will say that, if you are not into raw foods, you will likely give it serious consideration. If you are dealing with chronic, acute, and catastrophic…
Read MoreOn Being Fine Examples and Knowing Your Self
The story of the “miracle mineral supplement,” is yet in its infancy. Is it the “magic bullet” to ending our disease conundrum? I don’t think so, but it is an important component. Over 75,000 people were cured of malaria in the African countries of Uganda and Malawi, as Jim Humble persevered in isolating the actual agent of change that killed…

I received the following comments from Fred, a man who read my essay, Thoughts on Love: the Greatest Power. > So it is fearful to be skeptical of pseudoscience, Of course not. It’s fearful to attempt to put an idea that you don’t agree, or understand with down. Whether it is science or pseudo science, it is your conclusion that it…

Read MoreHuman Evolution: A Declaration of Intent
Evolution is a word we use to acknowledge and point to a process of change; the arc from one point, and form of expression to another. The expression can be anything; a person, place, or thing. It can span eons or an ephemeral moment. Common attributes to all evolutionary views, are beginning and end points. Our view of evolution is a static view of a process…
Read MoreThoughts on God: The Nature of Spirit
When I was a youngster growing up on Chicago’s south side, I got my fill of church. I still feel “young,” but today cannot really claim that description, unless I’m talking to someone 80 or 90 years of age. (I still feel young though.) I attended church regularly, for that’s what we did in our household. I joined the church…
Read MoreTalk For Food Guest: Marion Meadows
I’ve just posted this week’s Talk for Food show. My guest is saxophonist Marion Meadows. What was originally planned to start around 7 or 8 pm, eventually started around 1:30 (am), and ended after 3 am. Yet, it was the perfect confluence of resonant interests; my love of, and connection to jazz, an evolving radio show, friendship with Marion, and…

It’s been a busy week, but that’s not unusual for me. However, after expressing an interest about this last year, I am entering the world of spoken thought, which we call “talk.” I’m not starting a talk show, I have already already produced the first one, which I’m calling Talk for Food. I’m part of a new internet-based radio network…
Read MoreThoughts On God: Nothingness
Barrel Cactus Kissing, originally uploaded by phaelosopher. Nothingness is something. Somethingness is not. Nothingness is real, Somethingness is illusion, for its existence could not be, without Nothingness. Nothingness exists Somethingness does not. Somethingness changes Nothingness does not. Somethingness is ephemeral Nothingness is eternal. Somethingness is finite Nothingness is Infinite. Nothingness exists within all Somethingness as the Space between protons neutrons,…

It appears that you are interested in the subject of health and healing. It also appears that you’re interested in listening to people talk, which is now practical through broadband connections and podcasts. Visitors to Thought for Food shot up when we posted the first podcast with Dr. Sircus. I’ve even received two letters of appreciation from people interested in…
Read MoreAn Mind Opening Discussion on Iodine with Dr. Mark Sircus Podcast
We talked about it, we did it! Over the past weekend Dr. Mark Sircus and I had a great discussion on iodine, one you’re going to want to hear. I took the opportunity to practice being the host of Thought for Food (clever, eh?), a radio program that would discuss this, and other issues. I mentioned going on the radio…

Some Lights Are Brighter Than Others, originally uploaded by phaelosopher. One awareness that generally manages to elude us as we go about the process of living, is the sense that we are creating our future from this present moment. When we reach that future point in time/space, this moment will be seen as history. As such, we are creating history…

Each time I sit down to write, my thoughts immediately move to the mind and heart; and where they are, for where your mind and heart is, is where you are. Every word that issues forth; indeed, every thought, is then given with the health and well-being of every human being in mind. The same intent is behind every natural…

Slot Canyon Contrasts, originally uploaded by phaelosopher. Bringing Heartfelt Results into Being What are your thoughts on healing? Do you ever think about them? It doesn’t matter what form the healing takes. It could be to heal your body, a financially stressing situation, or a relationship. How about healing racial tension, political or religious strife and war? Or it could…
Read More'Homing In' to Real Solutions
Everyone has problems… or what we think of as problems. If we think of a situation as problematic, then it is. That is, until we see it differently. “Problems” are perceptions of duality; our take on what’s “right or wrong”, “good or bad,” “acceptable or unacceptable,” “pleasurable or painful,” etc. If your head is aching, and is intensely painful, you’ve…

Here’s something to make you think about what “best practices” in the pharmaceutical industry means these days. Ask yourself if you’d want to entrust your life to people who govern themselves by the ethos demonstrated below. Privately held Purdue Pharma, L.P. is a major player in the pharmaceutical game. Its web site claims that the company has long been “known for…
Read MoreOn 'Responding' with Fear, or with Spirit
I came of age during the turbulent 1960’s. It was a time of great social change where we went through the Cold War and the Cuban missile crisis, assassinations of John and Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King, civil rights protests that were then about equal treatment of all citizens instead of reversed preference for some. And then there was the war…

Anyone who is on a regimen of prescription medication is aware of the dangers of drug interactions. This is where a substance affects the activity of a drug, or vice versa. There can be an amplifying or diminishing of effect or an entirely new effect that neither the drug, nor the substance, would produce on their own. Interactions are typically…
