November 2nd! Christmas Day 2009

This year Kevin Hogan and friends offer a Christmas bonus ahead of time. Yes, I do know it isn’t Christmas on November 2nd, but if you purchase Kevin’s new book 168 Hour Week on that day you could be forgiven for thinking the season has arrived.  In an exclusive offer Kevin presents to you the opportunity to access bonus material worth $2500+

Most people specialise in the non-production of time. That is they are frequently too busy to make time for anything of real value to them.

You may have noticed that there are some problems with the time management and goal setting books out there. If you spent money, primed yourself for change, WROTE the goal down and had only partial success then this is the book you’ve been waiting for…..

This book is the formula to having life with meaning. Living other people’s lives isn’t fun.  At it’s worst it’s soul sucking date with satan.  Not your favourite guy in red.

Not only does 168Hour Week provide extreme value for money but if you make your purchase on the day of the promotion you can access additional bonus material.  If you purchase one book on November 2nd, this has to be it then this is for you.

After purchase you can take your receipt to www.kevinhogan.com and pick up a couple of thousand dollars worth of bonus material. Just be aware that to be eligible for all those goodies you MUST make you purchase on November 2nd, not before, not after.

I’m certain you will be glad you did.

Alternative Healing – Urine Luck!

I notice a book sitting on the table with some goofy looking guy holding a half full martini glass with a ridiculous grin on his face.  At a healing retreat you find all kinds of unique info.  As it happens the book was all about urine which is what is (presumably) swirling in place of actual gin.  I don’t recall any olive.
Urine for a surprise at that party ….  Ok.  Ahem.  Back to the alternative natural healing retreat.

Many years ago there was only one main brand of bottle water, and since we were detoxing everyone carried a bottle around.  And some of those had a suspicious yellow tinge.  Best not to look too close I thought.  Made sure my generic looking bottle was WELL marked lest there be a mix up.

Apparently the couple running the show had been using urine for years as part of their alternative medicine healing.  Every day in fact.  As it happens one of them ended up very ill and took up the practice in desperation.  He explained that the body self corrects and just “knows”.  A little too vague for me to give it a go however.  And now…. the moment has passed for me to try this altnernative medicine.  Healing for me isn’t life or death at the moment.

I did ask him about breath smell (I gotta know about things like that) and he said you couldn’t tell and went on to mention how they use it on skin.  I kept my distance from everyone just in case.  I’m curious, just not THAT curious.  No need to tempt fate is there?

Thus ended my adventure into this form of alternative medicine. Healing for me isn’t that extreme just yet.

It isn’t recommended that urine drinking be combined with alcohol or drug consumption including.

Make sure you research properly before trying it especially if you are pregnant or currently have a junk food diet.

The thing is that there are many stories around about how drinking your own urine (yes, has to be your own) can heal you when all else fails.  And there are even more stories that circulate many of which include urine faithfully applied to skin conditions.  Interesting.

Not only is urine sterile, but it is overflowing with nutrients.  This is because unused nutrients pass through urine, while waste products are defecated and exhaled.

Remember the episode of Black Adder titled “Potato”?  They are meant to travel to the Cape of Good Hope and end up utterly lost.  To survive they drink there own urine.  This left a lasting impression in my mind about survival.

If nothing else it is interesting to consider intellectually what this form of alternative natural healing can do for you.

In Basic and Clinical Immunology (1982) Dr William Linscott showed that when antigen receptors (white blood cells that are now attacking what they shouldn’t) are reintroduced into your body the body will create antibodies to them.  Good to know because if nothing else worked I’d get over my initial reaction and give this a try.  I think I’d have to be fairly sick first.

If you are interested in looking further into this form of alternative healing urine luck because there are a selection of titles available  (oh the fun they would have had thinking these up)…

* The Water of Life

* The Golden fountain

* Your Own Perfect Medicine

* Shivambu Gita Holy Water Therapy

Answers To Recent Alternative Healing Questions

Rob asked who do Maori pray to when collecting herbs for healing.  The answer is generally the prayers are to give thanks and acknowledgement that we are the guardians of the land, and they generally go to God, and/or Papatuanuku and Ranginui.

Tane Mahuta, "Lord of the Forest" stands over 50M. Often people comment about the spiritual vibe around the tree

We still see the influence of missionaries that came to early New Zealand.  The spiritual side has it’s own type of alternative medicine.  Healing anything always incorporates a spiritual aspect with Maori.  Always.

Legend has it that Papatuanuku, mother earth came together with Ranginui, the sky father and embraced in the darkness before creation or Te Kore (the nothingness).  After being locked in eternal darkness between them, their children finally pushed them apart.

Maori see themselves as guardians not owners of nature and land.  This cultural difference has caused many unnecessary disputes about land rights that still continue to this day.  The alternative natural healing they use has a strong connection with the land and nature.

Darryl asked can you eat Manuka Honey.  Yes you can use it like any other honey.   You may find the cost a deterrent to trying it, of course in NZ it is much closer to price to regular honey worth only about a dollar more for the same size jar.  In Cornwall it is sold for £55 a jar.  Yikes!  Pricey toast.

It does have those proven medicinal qualities that occur when bees gather pollen from the Manuka bush.  Not all Manuka honey is “active” meaning that it has enzymes that create chemical reactions in the honey.  To find some look for the UMF (Unique Manuka Factor) which is found on medical grade (!) honey.

UMF branded honey provides one more alternative in natural healing.

What They Didn’t Tell You About Salt Lamps – Healing Alternative For Environment

I willfully forked out over $80 bucks for a chunk of salt.  At the time I reasoned that it would be good for the atmosphere in my home and enhance the atmosphere in my alternative medicine healing room.  Also we had a room which never saw much sun and was a little damp so it was intended that the lamp would help by drying out the air.

Salt lamps in a market. Impressive in a group aren't they?

As part of the marketing pitch they tell you that the salt lamp emits negative ions – touted as the vitamins of the air.

When I got the thing home I plugged it in right away.  In my bedroom – mistake #1.  Sleeping in the same room, even a large one like mine will cause you to wake up dehydrated.  Duh!  Salt is hydroscopic so draws moisture away.
After only three weeks I had to replace the bulb.  Which I did.  Then a couple of weeks after that.  Then again.  And again….. finally I figured out the best bulb to use is an OVEN BULB because they are rated for thousands of hours and designed to be replaced after a longer time period.

The other issue was during the hassle of finding a replacement bulb, if I forgot the lamp would melt.  This occurred even when I wrapped it up in cling wrap (although the melt was much slower).  I’ve had the thing for over five years now.  Although it did say to wrap it in the instructions I would occasionally forget.  In the dampest room of my home if the bulb blew during the night it would have begun to melt by morning.

Argh!  My beautiful lamp!  So now they are becoming more available, do keep those points in mind.  Especially if you are moving a long distance because this is always problematic.  Silica packets aren’t enough (you can find these in new shoes or inside vitamins as they are there to absorb moisture) so you will need an alternative.  Natural healing of your environment using salt lamps is still cool,  it’s just you either have to devise a way of keeping them warm or vacuum sealed which may or may not solve the melting issue.

Pretty though aren’t they?
