Medi-Sign Target: exercise, fresh air, peppers & salt

Colds:  Find a cure and millions upon millions will die because a cold is the body’s method of elimination by dumping toxins, viruses and bacterial overwhelm.

Eating foods high in vitamin C is the number one best thing you can do for a cold.

A great thing to do for colds and a sore throat is to eat sliced onions.  Eat them raw or cooked slowly; do not brown them, though.  Put them then in water until they are almost a syrup and add a squirt of lemon and a tablespoon of honey and mix well.  Some people strain the onion out, and others drink it down with the syrup.

Garlic is also a renowned remedy for colds.

Drink vitamin C-rich juice like orange, tomato, grapefruit or pineapple.  This can help you get over a cold, if you drink at least five glasses a day.  Studies show it takes that much whole food vitamin C to reduce sneezes and coughs in cold sufferers.

Other remedies include:

• Serve a steamy bowl of comfort…
• Keep a glass of water on your nightstand…
• Try a ginger brew…
• Eat south of the border…
• Pump your legs…
• Snort salt water…
• Make your home tropical…
• Chill out…

Excerpt from Don Tolman’s FDR Vol 2 pp340 & 341

The word ‘fasting’ can be somewhat scary, intimidating & even overwhelming.  No worries!  You can do it!  Start out slow & easy.  Start with just one day of fasting.  Fast just the one day a month.  Then, as you & your body adjust to this new (to you) way of life, add another day or so.   A fast can be as short as one day or several days.  Don has fasted as many as 40 days on water alone.  You may not choose to fast that long or just on water, but you get the idea.  The important thing is to listen to your own body.

Simple tips to get your started:

1. Try a mono diet – eating just one food; also, Don-recommended as a method to overcome food allergies – you could eat Don’s Colon Cleanse Fiber Blend
2. Drink fresh juices – fruit or vegetable, even combinations – vegetables having a lower sugar content
3. Drink green smoothies – full of lovely leafy greens – check out two of our loyal readers’ recipes:  Tim’s Smoothies or Anthony’s Green Smoothie
4. Eat raw whole foods – #5 of Don’s 7 Principles of Health: fruits, nuts, seeds, vegetables
5. Eat Don’s Authentic Pulse - a nature-rich meal of fruit, nuts & grains (back to the raw whole foods concept)
6. Delay your “break-fast” (get it?) by three or four hours
7. Drink hot soup or broth

Just try one day of fasting and see how you feel.  Keep in mind that the first day of any new routine (dare we say “habit”?) is the hardest!  Your body will rebel with much growling…at first.  It will thank you later, though.  If you’re up for it, extend your fast another day.  If not, try again in a week or a month.

Once you’ve tried your first fast, come back & leave us a comment about your experience.  Feel free to comment no matter how experienced/inexperienced you are at fasting.  Someone else may need your words of encouragement.

Be sure to read our articles about fasting as listed below to learn of the many health benefits of fasting.

A Medi-Sin is a pHARMACEUTi-KILL, Medi-Kill, agricultural, environmental or commercial product or procedure whose creation and design is put into place simply for MONEY…Medi-SINS that are ‘violent against innocent’, (cells are innocent) any mediKILL application that promotes death, violates or alters the natural, innate, and inherent autogenic self-healing function of the body.  All ‘food-less foods and life-less drinks’ that are laced with toxic chemicals (most are also sold as mediKILL drugs/medi-SINs), genetically altered, or grown in a laboratory are all Medi-Sins.  These mass-marketed consumer products cause long-term chronic illnesses, such as diabetes, heart disease, and cancers due to the molecular structure of the body’s cells being altered, damaged and killed.  For example: Vioxx and Celebrex are blatant Medi-Sins because they deplete the endogenous production of one of the most important essentials of the the heart’s cell, what chemical nutritionists call co-enzyme Q10, which is in every whole food, naturally…

Lobbyists, politicians and governments are at the mercy/or voluntary control of the millions, billions and trillions of $$$$ from pHarmaceuti-kill Drug Lords…who support and put them in place/positions/offices.  The richest industry in the world determines laws and policies of nearly all countries.

‘Government involvement’ in so-called ‘Health Care’ focuses on the ‘important areas’ we are told, such as…

PERSONAL HYGIENE

Government-backed production of “anti-bacterials” for doctors’ offices, hospitals, homes and easy squeeze tubes for on-the-go…has led to billions in ‘anti-biotic’ sales for pharmaceuti-kill Drug Lords…that’s not counting the billions in anti-bacterial product sales.  Over 300,000 people (yes, especially babies) die from infections gotten at the hospital and doctors’ offices they visit.  Please remember:  anti-bacterials make organisms stronger! And now the most dangerous and deadly places on earth are hospitals.  When I was a kid we all ate dirt as a joke…none of us died!  If you dropped your ice cream onto the floor or ground, you just hollered ’3-second rule’, picked it up and continued enjoying it.  And, nobody washed after using the toilet!!

WATER TREATMENT

It has now been exposed that 140 million U.S. citizens in 12 different cities have been mass medicated without their knowledge nor consent with dozens of patented pHARMACEUTi-KILL drugs put in their water supplies for ‘scientific investigative studies’.

Medi-sign Target:  sunshine, walking & all yellow foods

So if you’re feeling down in the dumps, melancholy, like life is dragging you down and dragging you out, try one of these proven methods for making your spirits soar.

Sit back and enjoy (or at least tolerate) the tumble.  Benjamin Franklin said that nothing is certain in this world but death and taxes.  He missed something…sadness.

Realize that feeling a little sad is no big deal. Understand that the down feelings are temporary.  In other words, don’t get sadder because you’re sad.

Do something active. Hanging around the house and moping is sure to make you more depressed.  So this home remedy involves getting away from home.  It doesn’t really matter much what you choose to do as long as it’s something active.  so, go for a walk, take a bike ride, visit a friend, play a game of chess, read a book or become a Big Brother.  Please note, though, that turning the knob on the television set is not being active.

Search your memory for fun things to do. The best way to pick an activity is to start by jotting down a list of things you enjoy.  The problem, of course, is that nothing looks too enjoyable when you’re down and out.  What to do?  List activities that you used to enjoy, pick one and do it!

Talk it out. It’s always helpful to share your feelings with someone.  Find friends who care about you and tell them what’s on your mind…

Have a good cry. If talking about your problems leads to tears then let them flow.  Crying is a wonderful release especially if you know what you’re crying about.

Sit down and analyze the situation. A lot of times, if you can pinpoint the source of your depression, you’ll feel better.  Once you understand the problem, you can begin to figure out how to fix it.

Try and try again – then quit.  As kids and adolescents, we have ideas of what life will bring, and sometimes we hang on to them even when life dictates that these ideas are unrealistic.  Chasing elusive goals can lead to depression.  This is when you simply have to say “I’ve given it my best shot”, then give up.

The Nutrition Prescription. Nutrition, more than anything else, controls your state of mind.  The most beneficial nutrients for depression is whole food B vitamins and amino acids.

Exercise. Numerous studies show that exercise can help overcome the blues.  If you are already in good physical shape because of regular exercise, but you’re in poor mental shape, consider going for total exhaustion.  This is a good way to discharge your tensions.

Pick up a box of crayons. A great way to express your feelings is by writing them down, or better yet, by drawing them.  If you sit down immediately after something upsets you and start to draw, you might be surprised at the insight you’ll gain into your emotions.  Use lots of color.  A choice of red could suggest anger; black, sadness, and gray, anxiety.

Adjust the facts, ma’am. Sometimes when you start to gauge your assumptions against reality, you may find things aren’t as you think they are.  For instance, if you suspect your lover may be cheating on you, which is a good reason to be depressed, go ahead and ask.  You may be wrong.”

“For most of recorded history the only medicine available was folk medicine.  Remedies will only be passed on for multiple generations and for millenniums if they work.  Time and distance created the collective body of wisdom we call folk medicine.  Folk medicine then has truly passed the test of time and passed the scrutiny of experience.

Folk medicine is the compendium of wisdom that reflects not just the science of health but also the art and the method of these principles.  For instance, the nature around us in the area of living chemistry presents an array of non-toxic healing substances that are the Materia Medica of nature’s apothecary.  Whole foods provide a safe, living, energetic, “chemotherapy” if you will.  Whole foods are the anatomica metabolic nutricon that constitutes folk medicine.

Today, pharmaceutical science is jealous, envious and even hateful of plants and their attendant work, they do their work, their magic and wonders, without doing harm.  There is not one vaccine or drug that do that.  In my mind, I can see a time coming early on in the “Age of Imagination” we are now in, when every man, woman and child embraces “Self Care” by walking everyday, eating just whole foods and developing and maintaining a positive (inner sunshine) attitude.  These things go a long way to not only prevent disease but to remit existing conditions.  I do believe that within this next decade, the best of modern medicine, symptomatic response mechanism in the form of “first aid“, will be joined with ancient natural principles of “folk medicinal cures” to form a hybrid, “in home (effective and cost effective) clinics of Self Care.”

Whole food and fasting, working with nature’s air and water, sunshine and walking, pleasure of family and relationships and passion in creative pursuits, these are the bed rock of vitality into longevity; these are the seven Principles of Health.  As our modern society’s very fabric seems to be fraying at the edges, it is obvious that the valuable heritage of natural healing preserved by “backward” (truly genius) people and their enviable lifestyle of simplicity through time, need to be not only applauded and honored, but fully embraced into the daily performances of our own individual existence.  Self care.  There truly is no greater power than an idea whose time has come.” – Don Tolman

Cervical Cancer
Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer among women with over 400,000 new cases each year.

This form of cancer can be avoided in the following ways:

Stop Smoking – Smoking is a known risk factor for many cancers. Smoking exposes your entire body (not just your lungs) to many cancer causing chemicals.

Consuming Whole food Vitamin E – for example Extra Virgin Olive Oil, cold pressed sunflower and safflower oils, nuts and dark green vegetables.

Consuming raw foods – uncooked fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds
