ACHIEVING WHAT YOU WANT WITH THE ABILITIES YOU ALREADY HAVE

I want to refer a book entitled "TAPPING POTENTIAL" by Kenneth J. Lodi. The author states that all of us are born with large reservoirs of untapped potential. Sometimes in life we are faced with problems of having to do more, earn more, or learn new skills. The problem is we cannot meet these demands and find ourselves unable to release our full potential for best results.

This book will help us find and tap our hidden reserves of potential that would otherwise lay dormant. It is this utilization of abilities that closed the gap from what we were to what we want to be.

In this book, we will learned to :

• Apply the extra 10% to distinguish yourself from the crowd- Individuality and going the extra mile can make the difference between staying in a comfort zone of mediocrity or fully developing your potential.

• Adopt a positive approach for change and personal development- You shorten the cycle of tapping your potential when you are proactive. Create the sense of urgency to make things happen. Your behaviour and decisions will determine whether or not you can stay in control of your life and have an impact on the future.


• Evaluate current belief systems and make them more constructive- Tapping your potential involves focusing on the good side and believing that you can. It is only made possible if you can persevere; and perseverance is affected by your perception.


• Understand your values and motivators to discover what you want- If your goals and dreams are not value-driven, you will not tap your full potential. Identify your priority in life.

• Put plans and strategies to paper with an eye on the future- Having the goal on paper allows you to visualize what you specifically want to achieve, and better plan the intermediate steps needed for its completion. Do something each day that improves your chances for future success.


• Learn to follow the MOST formula- MOTIVATION- knowing why you want to pursue your goal , creates a sense of direction and focus. OBJECTIVE- a complete picture of what you want on a specific date on the future. STRATEGY- the how or detailed approach and task needed to complete the goal. TIME FRAME- choosing the best dates in your day planner for implementation.

• Break old routines and habits and replace them with much more effective ones- Clear away the number of little things to create time for the important things. Overcome fear for trying something new. Don't limit the number of experiences available by doing the same things over and over. The benefits of leaving the comfort zone often outweigh those of staying in a comfort zone.

• Learn why being a TQP (Total Quality Person) is the only way to go- Dr. Deming's theory states that the quality of work is very much a result of the quality of the process by which it is produced. We need to change how we are in order to improve who we are.

All of these skills and others are discussed to help you achieve what you want with the abilities you already have.

WISH YOU THE BEST OF LUCK IN ALL OF YOUR FUTURE ENDEAVORS.

WINTER POWER SAVING TIPS

Keep Warm This Winter and Save Money too!

Winter time is fast approaching and here are some tips to keep us warm and to save money at the same time. Federal government provides assistance to improve our home's energy efficiency (Home Improvement Tax Credit), so there's no better time than to make this simple home improvement.

Furnace

• Schedule annual maintenance for your furnace now. If your furnace is working at peak efficiency, it will use less energy and cost less to operate.
  

• Clean or replace your furnace filter every one to two months. A dirty filter reduces airflow and forces your furnace to run longer to heat your home.

Thermostat

• Pile on the blankets. Lower your thermostat by four to five degrees Celcius at night when you're sleeping and when no one is at home.


• Install a programmable thermostat so you don't have to remember to lower the temperature. It's done automatically when you preset it.

Windows, Doorframes, Sills and Joints

• Stop those cold air drafts. On a windy day, identify leaks around windows, electrical outlets, vents and exterior doors.
  

• Apply a sealant around windows, doorframes, sills and joints where there are drafts.
  

• Use plastic window covers to prevent heat loss.
  

• Keep return air grills and heating vents clear of furniture, rugs and drapes so they don't interfere with heat flow through your home.

AFTER YEARS OF TELLING PEOPLE CHEMOTHERAPY IS THE ONLY WAY TO TRY (TRY THE KEYWORD) AND ELIMINATE CANCER, JOHN HOPKINS IS FINALLY STARTING TO TELL YOU THERE IS AN ALTERNATIVE WAY .

Cancer Update from John Hopkins

1. Every person has cancer cells in the body. These cancer cells do not show up in the standard Tests until they have multiplied to a few billion. When doctors tell cancer patients that there are no more cancer cells in their bodies after treatment, it just means the tests are unable to detect the cancer cells because they have not reached the

detectable size.

2. Cancer cells occur between 6 to more than 10 times in a person's life time.

3. When the person's immune system is strong the cancer cells will be destroyed and prevented from multiplying and forming tumors.

4. When a person has cancer it indicates the person has multiple
nutritional deficiencies. These could be due to genetic, environmental, food and lifestyle (lack of sleep) factors.

5. To overcome the multiple nutritional deficiencies, changing diet and including supplements will strengthen the immune system.

6. Chemotherapy involves poisoning the rapidly-growing cancer cells
and also destroys rapidly-growing healthy cells in the bone marrow, gastro-intestinaltr act etc, and can cause organ damage, liver, kidneys, heart, lungs etc.

7. Radiation while destroying cancer cells also burns, scars and
damages healthy cells, tissues and organs..

8. Initial treatment with chemotherapy and radiation will often reduce
tumor size. However prolonged use of chemotherapy and radiation do not result in more tumor destruction.

9 When the body has too much toxic burden from chemotherapy and
radiation the immune system is either compromised or destroyed,
hence the person can succumb to various kinds of infections and
complications.

10. Chemotherapy and radiation can cause cancer cells to mutate and
become resistant and difficult to destroy. Surgery can also cause
cancer cells to spread to other sites.

11. An effective way to battle cancer is to starve the cancer cells by not feeding it with the foods it needs to multiply.

CANCER CELLS FEED ON:

A. Sugar is a cancer-feeder. By cutting off sugar it cuts off one
important food supply to the cancer cells. Sugar substitutes like
NutraSweet, Equal, Spoonful, etc are made with Aspartame and
it is harmful. A better natural substitute would be Manuka
honey or molasses but only in ver y small amounts. Table salt
has a chemical added to make it white in color. Better alternative
is Bragg's aminos or sea salt.

B. Milk causes the body to produce mucus, especially in the gastro-
intestinaltract. Cancer feeds on mucus... By cutting off milk and
substituting with unsweetened soya milk cancer cells are being
starved.

C. Cancer cells thrive in an acid environment. A meat-based diet is
acidic and it is best to eat fish, and a little chicken rather than
beef or pork. Meat also contains livestock antibiotics, growth
hormones and parasites, which are all harmful, especially to
people with cancer.

D. A diet made of 80% fresh vegetables and juice, whole grains,
seeds, nuts and a little fruits help put the body into an alkaline
environment. About 20% can be from cooked food including
beans. Fresh vegetable juices provide live enzymes that are easily absorbed and reach down to cellular levels within 15 minutes to
nourish and enhance growth of healthy cells. To obtain live
enzymes for building healthy cells, try and drink fresh vegetable
juice (most vegetables including bean sprouts) and eat some raw
vegetables 2 or 3 times a day. Enzymes are destroyed at
temperatures of 104 degrees F (40 d egrees C).

E. Avoid coffee, tea, and chocolate, which have high caffeine. Green
tea is a better alternative and has cancer-fighting properties.
Water -- best to drink purified water, or filtered, to avoid known
toxins and heavy metals in tap water. Distilled water is acidic,
avoid it.

12. Meat protein is difficult to digest and requires a lot of digestive
enzymes.. Undigested meat remaining in the intestines become
putrified and leads to more toxic buildup.

13. Cancer cell walls have a tough protein covering. By refraining from or eating less meat it frees more enzymes to attack the protein walls of cancer cells and allows the body's killer cells to destroy the cancer cells.

14. Some supplements build up the immune system (IP6, Flor-ssence,
Essiac, anti -oxidants, vitamins, minerals, EFAs, etc.) to enable the
body's own killer cells to destroy cancer cells. Other supplements like vitamin E are known to cause apoptosis, or programmed cell death, the body's normal method of disposing of damaged, unwanted, or unneeded cells.

15. Cancer is a disease of the mind, body, and spirit. A proactive and
positive spirit will help the cancer warrior be a survivor. Anger,
unforgiveness and bitterness put the body into a stressful and acidic environment. Learn to have a loving and forgiving spirit. Learn to relax and enjoy life.

16. Cancer cells cannot thrive in an oxygenated environment. Exercising daily, and deep breathing help to get more oxygen down to the cellular level. Oxygen therapy is another means employed to destroy cancer cells.

1. No plastic containers in micro.
2. No water bottles in freezer.
3. No plastic wrap in microwave.

Johns Hopkins has recently sent this out in its newsletters. . This information is being circulated at Walter Reed Army Medical Center as well.

Dioxin chemicals causes cancer, especially breast cancer.

Dioxins are highly poisonous to the cells of our bodies.

Don't freeze your plastic bottles with water in them as this releases dioxins from the plastic..

Recently, Dr. Edward Fujimoto, Wellness Program Manager at Castle Hospital , was on a TV program to explain this health hazard. He talked about dioxins and how bad they are for us. He said that we should not be heating our food in the microwave using plastic containers..

This especially applies to foods that contain fat. He said that the combination of fat, high heat, and plastics releases dioxin into the food and ultimately into the cells of the body. Instead, he recommends using glass, such as Corning Ware, Pyrex or ceramic containers for heating food. You get the same results, only without the dioxin. So such things as TV dinners, instant and soups, etc., should be removed from the container and heated in something else.

Paper isn't bad but you don't know what is in the paper. It's just safer to use tempered glass, Corning Ware, etc. He reminded us that a while ago some of the fast food restaurants moved away from the foam containers to paper. The dioxin problem is one of the reasons.

Also, he pointed out that plastic wrap, such as Saran, is just as dangerous when placed over foods to be cooked in the microwave. As the food is nuked, the high heat causes poisonous toxins to actually melt out of the plastic wrap and drip into the food. Cover food with a paper towel instead

My Son Charles

We just moved here in Canada and I appreciate all the team of pediatric doctors in Stolerey Hospital attending to my son Charles. Doctors include renal, gastro intestinal, dermatologist, scoliosis doctor and a dietician.
