Losing Weight by Drinking Water: 7-Ways Water Helps You Lose Weight Just by Drinking It

Everyone knows that a human cannot live without water; but is water a miracle drug? Many health care professionals would say that it is. Dr. Masaru Emoto, author of The Messages From Water series of books, would certainly support the age-old practices of priests in many religions of imparting blessings and "miraculous" healing properties to water using nothing more than prayer, or intention. Some might say that Holy water, or healing waters, may only have power in our minds; but remember - our minds have power over our bodies, our health, and our lives.

How Can EFT Help Me Lose Weight?

In the mid-nineties, Gary Craig created the Emotional Freedom Techniques, or EFT. EFT is based on the work of Dr. Roger Callahan, and is essentially a greatly simplified version of TFT, or Thought-Field Therapy. EFT isn’t really “better” than TFT; it’s simply more accessible to the average person. EFT is based on the age-old premise that negative emotions and symptoms are caused by disruptions in the body’s energy systems. Judging by results, this is a workable premise; EFT is incredibly effective at resolving or eliminating a number of common complaints, fears, phobias, allergies, etc. If it weren’t for all the science behind TFT and EFT, these results would be considered miraculous. Thanks to EFT, they are now commonplace.

Heal Yourself With Water — The Water Cure

Most people have figured out by now that medicine does not cure disease. Medicine isn’t necessarily bad; it just isn’t necessary. Do not let your fear of disease make you forget that humanity wasn’t exactly dying off when pharmaceutical companies saw a financial opportunity and exploded onto the scene. You need to know the facts; then, if you still choose to be ill, it will truly be a "free choice," and not one born of the absence of awareness.

HCG Diet on The Morning Show: Safe and Effective, or Dangerous? Does it Matter?

The Morning Show with Mike and Juliet recently featured a segment on the HCG Diet – which involves injections of HCG (Human ChorioGonadotropin) Hormone and a 500-calorie per day diet regimen. As with any diet plan, there were experts on both sides of the issue; and, as with any diet discussion between experts, the point was missed – again. The point remains: There is only one way to effectively and permanently reduce your weight; and it is not with any diet or plan. Diets simply don’t work; and, if it doesn’t work, safety shouldn’t be an issue. Why waste your time, energy, and money doing things that do not work, when you could be learning about what does work?

The Z-Point Process: The One-Word Prayer You can use Anywhere!

Recently, in response to an article I had written on Forgiveness, I was contacted by a person who said, "Physiologically, the brain can’t forget; I’d like to forgive, but how can I forget what was done to a young child?  How can I forget that trauma when I am alone at night in the dark…?"  This person’s prayer was to forgive and forget the past; but they didn’t know how to release the thoughts that kept them stuck in the past.

The brain and body do indeed operate much like a computer — remembering and storing everything that happens to you.  The brain seems to act like the central processor; while the rest of the body serves to store memories, input and output information, transmit electrical signals and commands, and execute, or perform, the programs sent by the brain.  When everything is working smoothly, information is gathered, experienced, processed, assimilated, and released; but when we experience trauma, we can sometimes get stuck in a memory-loop that affects us much like a computer virus affects a computer — slowing it down, making some operations impossible, and shortening the life of the computer.
