What is the Cause?Written by Dr. Jamie Fettig
The question most people think they need an answer to is what is cause of their this or that? Many people pay it lip service, but what is cause really? Going with bucket analogy, what is cause of one of symptoms or diseases not being covered by water, or being expressed? Could it be that water is leaking out of bucket through holes? Which hole is “cause” of symptoms or disease being expressed? That is kind of a trick question. It is not just one hole that causes a symptom or disease to be expressed. All holes lead to decreased level of water. Or, said another way, there is not just one cause to any symptom or disease. In fact, everything you did or didn’t do up to that point in your life has some role in symptoms or disease you are expressing. Most people are looking for a cause, and no one ever stopped to question if there even was only one cause . . . until now. The cause, if you really need to have one, is a lack of health. To get people to immediately stop looking for one cause that doesn’t exist would be tough. Because looking for cause of something is so ingrained into our thinking, into our very way of automatic reaction, that stopping never-ending quest for “cause” immediately is like expecting a huge semi truck to stop instantly, even though it is going down highway at 70 miles per hour (120 km/h). With one little change, two little words, track that most people head down when looking for cause would be much more effective. That is, switching one’s frame of mind from looking for cause to looking for major contributing factors, because some things contribute more to certain symptoms and disease than others. Some contribute more directly, other less directly. Switching to looking for contributing factors instead of cause will make a quantum leap in how effective treatment of symptoms and disease becomes.
| | How to Make a Wheat Heating PadWritten by Christine Miserandino
Ingredients for this project:Any thick material (this project calls for 18",but you can make heating pad any size you want sewing machine or needle and thread Flax seed or wheat Essential oil *optional We have all seen those microwave heating pads selling in stores for big bucks, and I always thought "Boy I wish I knew how to make one" They look so easy to make. So my new friend Wendy gave me "directions" and it is easy enough to do and so helpful to those of us who get cold easily or have sore muscles. It's pretty easy to make a wheat bag heating pad - all you need is some strong material like cotton, canvas or tartan, as long as there's no give in it, so it doesn't stretch! Keep in mind, it needs to be pretty thick so when wheat is heated (and it gets pretty hot) that you don't burn yourself. Once you pick your material, cut a square about 18" each side and fold it in half so it's inside out. It will be oblong shape. Stitch down one short side and long side. A sewing machine works best as you need short stitches close together, so wheat doesn't come out. If you stitch by hand go over it again to make sure stitches are tight. Next, turn it right way in so seam is on inside. You will need to buy some Flax seed or Wheat. They need to be whole kernel. Fill bag about 1/2 way, then stitch one side that is left, sealing it tight. If you are handy with sewing, and don't mind a little extra work, you might want to divide bag into sections. Maybe in 4- put in 1/4 of your seeds then stitch bag 1/4 of way up, drop in another 1/4 of seeds and stitch those in, repeating for rest, so you will have 4 compartments full of seeds, instead of one big one. Then you will have seeds fairly distributed throughout your hand made heating pad! This isn't necessary- but a great tip.
