Did you know?
According to the health experts at www.IntelliHealth.com, "A symptom is an
abnormal experience, such as pain or stiffness, that a person
may describe
to someone else (including their doctor). A sign is an abnormality
a person
may observe or detect in another; an example is the finding
of joint
swelling a doctor may see when examining a joint.
"Symptoms of arthritis include:
pain; sensation of swelling and stiffness
in or near a joint, especially in the morning, limited joint
function and
increased pain with movement, and finally fatigue, a feeling
of weakness, a
loss of appetite (only in some "systemic" forms of arthritis) "Signs
of arthritis include: joint swelling, joint redness, joint
warmth, joint deformity, and finally loss of joint motion."
For you to
stay healthy and to recover quickly from illness your
immune system must be healthy as well. All
of you have probably heard about free-radicals and
there are many products on the market that address
this but..............................Here's the BIG
BUT! UNDERSTAND THIS PLEASE, CERTAIN ANTIOXIDANT
COMPOUNDS DESTROY FREE RADICALS. OPERATIVE WORD
HERE IS DESTROY! SO BE CAREFUL!
For example:
according to recent research, very large does of vit. c
can cause stomach trouble, kidney stones.
Iron supplements are a good idea ONLY if a
doctor has prescribed them for you. Check your
supplements, often you can have iron overage because
it is in your diet as well
as most vitamins. Knowledge is power my
friends only when applied.

A
Lesson In Prospecting From The Shaolin Priests
by
John Colanzi
I remember the first time I saw the original Kung Fu TV
show. We were a bunch of suburban Karate students who
thought we knew all about the martial arts. Gathered around
the set, we waited in anticipation as the new show was
about to air.
I could tell after the first few minutes that what I was
watching, was far different than paying for a few lessons
and conquering the world. No fast food, high speed
learning.
So what does this have to do with prospecting?
The lessons from the show teach the ultimate in
pre-qualifying your prospects.
Before they could enter the temple, a prospect would have
to arrive early and wait. If they weren't allowed to enter,
they would come back the next day and wait again. This
ritual of waiting could last for weeks. Depending on the
master, the ritual could even go on for months.
Over time, the majority of the prospects would give up in
frustration and only a small percentage of the initial
group would last long enough to enter the temple.
Those that stuck it out, prequalified themselves by showing
their:
Patience - Persistence - Burning Desire
Through this process, the monks could avoid wasting time
on
prospects that had a low chance of success. This also
allowed them to devote more time to those prospects that
showed possibility.
The prospects that passed the first test were then given
menial tasks and chores around the Temple. They would
basically provide free janitorial services. Over time there
would be another group of prospects that would drop out and
narrow the field down even further.
This second round of tests served to narrow the field down
to those prospects who were:
=> The most patient
=> The most persistent
=> Had the strongest desire
=> Willing to follow instructions
=> Able to set aside their egos
The remaining prospects were those who had the highest
chance of succeeding and becoming the future masters.
Think of how much easier your life would be if you
prequalifed your prospects and could avoid the frustration
of spending your valuable time on those prospects who
aren't likely to accomplish anything.
It's sad, but true, that no matter how much time and effort
you expend trying to help your prospects, the vast majority
won't follow through.
Make your life easier by following the example set by the
Shaolin Priests.
Wishing You Success,
John Colanzi

Profile in courage "My
Kat Kelli"
Please indulge me a little here while I tell
you of Kelli my remaining cat whom
I have mentioned before in my book "Trial By Fire
A True Story Of Hope". Briefly, in a moment of personal dispair
when I hesitated to give myself the potentially life saving "epi
injection" my cats Michief and Kelli came to the rescue
and kept nudging at my hand until I plunged the needle
into my leg. When I awoke, Kelli was sitting on my
left leg warming it so it wouldn't spasm (which it often
did when it got cold) and Mischief was licking my face
to wake me up. I must have fallen to the floor because
the empty syringe lay on the carpet and so was I. So
you can imagine how special my two cats are to me and I
promised them both that day a good life until death
parted us.
Mischief died prior to the publishing of the
book.
Kelli now 18 suffered a mild stroke on
June 25, and then again a greater one on June 30. Talk
about spirit of hope and another lesson of life! I
took Kelli to the vet and Ron (my husband) told me
I need to prepare myself for the lost of this most generous
gift from creator, my loyal Kelli cat. He was not
moving, but his eyes were bright and he would eat and drink
for me. Good signs. I was not ready to give
him up but I knew all miracles come from creator and all
I wanted was for Kelli to not suffer and when he left me,
this magnificient friend would leave quietly and not paralyzed. This
was my prayer to creator God. I remembered aspirin
for human stroke or heart attack and so called Kelli's
vet. Dr. Kennedy who ordered baby aspirin the first night
then Dr. Carr ordered one half every 12 hours, 2 mg.
prednisone and I nourished him with 3 cc of sunrider
nuplus/quinary every hour for the first two days and then
every 3 hours and now 6 cc every 6 hours. Kelli
began to rally on the third day, by the 4th he was not
wanting help getting to the kitty box, by the 5th day he
was sitting outside on a leash and by day 6 up and limping
around, falling over occasionally, catching his breath
and up he'd go again. No accidents in the house,
this proud old man of a cat makes it to his kitty box every
time and today meows to go outdoors. His left
leg is still weak but he will stand and drag/walk alone
thank you...............He is old,
but he has not given up.
As I sat and watched this courageous pet,
I thought of how we as humans who can walk and talk and
have so much, give up or quit too soon in life, career
or relationships often at the first sign of distress............What
a lesson in a profile in courage from my old and special
cat. Is he out of the woods? The vet says,
he cannot understand this recovery. I can; Kelli is
fighting back with every little 9.4 lbs of courage he can
muster. Today July 8, he is walking straighter, eating
well on his own and outdoors on a leash an hour or so a
day. He is off of aspirin, still on prednisone every
other day and eating half cup of plain nuplus to nourish
and regenerate those cells a day mixed with a dash of quinary
herb packet in calli beverage. The miracle is in
the body when you feed it what it needs, let a higher power
guide whether we are human beings or animals. Facinating
isn't it!
Profile's in courage come
from many venues. Grandfather once
said that "man's character is measured by how he
treated all creatures, big or small, human or animal." He
also taught me to be quiet, listen and observe as nature
is one of the greatest teachers. I have learned
lessons not taught in any classroom these last few days. I
hope in sharing this story you have too. If
you have email me at nani@universityoflife.info and
I will print next issue.

MASTERING THE ART OF LIVING
By Nani Aki Linder
Successful
living always depends on intent and purity of thought to
do no harm as you go about your life's journey. All things
begin with choices and then work. Nothing is automatic.
Seeing your life as half full or half empty is a choice.
One is on survive mode, the other thrive. Pick one!
Hint: when
you delete the need to understand, make no judgements or
comparisons you are eons ahead of "cutting edge" thinking!
Malama
Pono, Nanipuaaalaomaililaulii - Kagi Ska Wa Apana canoe
paddler
Special humble greetings to
All Native Americans with particular note to Wadopana and
Wa Apana canoe paddlers: I invite you to take
your children for naming as is the way of our ancient peoples;
I invite you to smudge yourselves with the aroma of sage
and sweetgrass and light your campfires so that creator
can share in the sights, sounds and aroma which lifts
your gratitude prayers and petitions to his keeping. I
invite you to seek out your humble spiritual leaders
for guidance and attend the sweat lodge they offer.
I invite you to teach the teachers so they might know our
ways so they might uplift and leave none of our children
behind. Our children are our future. May creators
wisdom fill your bodies, minds and spirits with the spirt
of hope and enlightened journey for our future.

The
Top of the Health Care Ladder - Food!
Part 2
By
Nancy Donahue
The
early Chinese doctors believed that instead of taking
medicine to help cure a health problem, one should
instead eat the proper herbs to prevent the
body from even getting sick. The Chinese doctor
was paid to keep his patients well and if they
became ill, payment ceased until he got his patients
well again-at his own expense. What
a health insurance plan!
Regeneration
"Regeneration" is
giving life at the cellular level so those cells, "that
have over 600 functions," can regenerate or become
stronger and stronger rather than degenerating and
becoming weaker and weaker. Every year 98%
of our body is new! The question is-will our body
be stronger or weaker just one year from now? That
depends on what kind of foods we are giving our body-regenerative
or degenerative foods. They
give life to the body so that it is able to
overcome its own weaknesses and health challenges naturally,
creating abundant vitality. Our food should
be our medicine!
"A truly
good physician first finds out the cause of the
illness, and having found that, he first tries
to cure it by food. Only when food fails,
does he also prescribe medication."
-San
Ssu-mo, Tang Dynasty (618-907AD)
Regeneration is truly the
only way to successfully overcome health challenges
and weaknesses naturally,
thereby gaining a new level of health and vitality
never thought possible. The body is the miracle!
Is Your
Body Regenerating or Degenerating?
A Regenerating Body Experiences:
- Energy and Strength
- Vitality
- Endurance
- Cleansing
- Natural Slenderness
- A Sense of Well Being
- Emotional Stability
- Ability to Overcome Addictions
- Feeling rested in the morning
- Good Skin Tone
- Good Muscle Tone
- Regular Menstrual Cycles
- Quick Recuperation
- Clear Thinking
- Good
Digestion and Elimination
A Degenerating Body Experiences:
- Tiredness
- Fertility
Problems
- Depression
- PMS
- Overweight or Underweight Problems
- Poor
Muscle Tone
- Emotional Disorders
- Fluid
Retention
- Digestive Problems (Gas, Bloating, Diarrhea,
Constipation)
- Tendency
toward Infections
- Skin
and Hair Problems
- High Cholesterol
- Premature
Aging
- Poor Concentration
- Slow
Metabolism
A healthy body has the ability
to manage itself if properly nourished. Proper nutrition
from whole foods will produce remarkable changes-good
health, an abundance of energy, and natural slenderness.
FOOD
herbs are the most powerful regenerative FOOD we can
obtain. Nutritive
elements found in whole food herbs are the highest
of any plant form. Being FOOD-grade herbs, the
body is still in charge, being nourished, and managing
itself. I
recommend Sunrider foods and eat them everyday and
have for the past 20 years +.
Thank
you, Nancy for
an enlightening article on Regeneration. Nancy
Donahue is a Silver Master Director in Sunrider
International from Missoula, Montana. We
have been friends for 20 + years and I am so impressed
with her knowledge of herbal remedies and in particular
her knowledge of the process and uses of Sunrider products. Many
of you have heard me speak of regeneration and the
three categories of herbs. If you wish information on
how to purchase these food grade products
email me nani@universityoflife.info This
is what my kelli kat ate during his stroke episode
and to date.
**********************
Point
of Action: As always
this issue presented many thought provoking articles. Keep
what you need and discard the rest.
Summer is a time to be outdoors. Lets
try this, take the children for a nature walk, to visit
a national park or if thats not possible create a picnic
park in your own back yard. Time is future and
future passes as I write this. Know what, cleaning
the house can wait, family living and fun together
can't wait. Children grow up so fast before you
know it they are out the door and moving into their own
lives. So enjoy them while you have them and teach
them to share, care, be thankful and most of all the
value of family and all its joys.
Reflective
moment:
Ask yourself often, "am
I a pleasant experience to come home to or would I enjoy
coming home to me?"
How you answer may make the difference
in happiness or not, success or not. Interesting
thought isn't it! What say you?
