Rosh HaShanah: is the Jewish New Year. It falls once a year during the month of Tishrei and occurs ten days before Yom Kippur. Yom Kippur, the holiest day of the year, is a day for reflection at the end of the period where one offers forgiveness. Together, Rosh HaShanah and Yom Kippur are known as the Yamim Nora'im, which means the Days of Awe in Hebrew. In English they are often referred to as the High Holy Days. This year (2012) Rosh Hashanah goes from sunset of September 16 through nightfall of September 18. Yom Kippur goes from sunset of September 25 through nightfall of September 26. When you meet a Jewish friend at this time you can wish them a Happy New Year or say "L'Shana Tova".
ADMINISTRATION NOTES ... and ... "STUFF"
Hello ! WELCOME BACK !Although this not the official start of our year, it feels like it is because it is the first meeting after our summer break. Our September meeting begins our THIRTEENTH!!! September. Our very first meeting took place September 19, 2000.We look forward to seeing you:
Tuesday, September 11th to hear
David Price Francis at
Holy Rosary Church, 356 St. Clair Avenue West.Be sure to come to the Saturday, September 15 workshop that David Price Francis will be teaching.
At the meeting! TWO things:
- Read about VIDRHYTHM in the Tekkie session of this issue. Bring it to the meeting with your mobile device and make a few VidRhythms
- Michael or Mathieu from CHOCOSOL will probably be there at the end of the meeting to give you another taste of their delicious Mayan chocolate.If you are reading this newsletter from the Internet:
A newsletter is published for each Toronto Dowsers meeting. A hard copy is mailed to each of our members. Membership dues pay for this newsletter. Members receive many more benefits and more information than the newsletter. If you live in the GTA, and read these newsletters often, we request that you become a member. We welcome you to join our group.
DAY & LOCATION CHANGE: You probably know by now that the thing I like least regarding group related tasks, is to find locations for events. It is very difficult to find a meeting room for a group of our size, one that is accessible, available, with good energy, and -- affordable. If this were not so difficult, we would be having many more events.
We left our long term home at the Latvian Centre last year due to huge price hikes and change in management. This year, the Estonian House, where we have had several good meetings --- has a lot more of their own activities scheduled which precludes us. And so on.
We had an excellent workshop week this past May at the Japanese Canadian Cultural Centre, on Wynford Drive.
Their meeting rooms are booked Tuesday nights.
So we will begin having meetings there on Wednesday nights.
Beginning in October, we will meet there: Wednesday October 10, 2012
Their address is: 6 Garamond Court. It is right off Wynford Drive (Major Intersection: Eglinton Avenue / Don Mills Road). They are right off the Don Valley Parkway, have a HUGE (free) parking lot and the 100 bus stops a two minute walk from their door.
October 10 Meeting: Japanese Canadian Cultural Centre

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * THIS ISSUE -- These newsletters write themselves, they kind of pull me along and I just type
Members always contribute much to our issues. This month although much in this newsletter comes from the members, we have specific contributions from:Aleks Claire Daniela David Elisabeth Ernst Jere
Laurie Maureen Paul Vern . THANK YOU!Not included: (1) Review of Dr. Robert Gilbert's May 2012 presentation and (2) more information on the meters. Not enough time or space to include either one. There are updates regarding the meters, updates demonstrating a continuing hard fight, and successes in many areas.
(3) Reports on the absurdity of the US Republican National Committee making up the rules as they go along to create the outcome they want, or the absurdity whereby the US courts declared it is LEGAL! for banks and financial firms to use their customer's money when they do their dirty dealings and poor investing, and if the dealings tank, they do not have to pay back the money they stole from their customers.The content that wanted to get written about this month, and we have large articles on, seemed to focus mostly on two topics:
HEALTH
The 2012 TransitionOn the Health side, there is some fabulous info here on the care of teeth and gums. New ways to use MMS. Also use of Hydrogen Peroxide and Apple Cider Vinegar (half of Honegar) seem to be prominently featured. We are lucky in our area to have Filsinger's who produces fine Organic Apple Cider Vinegar.
The 2012 theme is the theme for our September and October presenters, with David Price Francis and Michael Bastine.
2012: Hmmm. Well, we're in it, that's for darn sure. Included here are different thoughts from many different perspectives, including not only thoughts from many of our own members, but also from Michael Tellinger, James McShane, Gary Null, Dick Sutphen and Michael Bastine, to name a few. Views from Alex Jones will be included next month.QUESTIONS: Some people were sent some questions. Their answers appear in the article. The questions include:
What are your thoughts?
"We" (WHO are WE? ... hmmm) have been, and are, expecting ... big changes. Do you agree? What kind of changes? Physical, metaphysical, spiritual, etheric, planetary, cosmic or what? The changes talked about run a gamut from:
(High?) People will achieve enlightenment and ascend — on December 21 or 22, 2012 -- to —
(Low?) Financial collapse and earthquakes and floods and famine.What are your thoughts?
Are you making any preparations? (?What?)
Do you think it will be same old same old more of the same?
Do you think there is manipulation, behind the scenes, or out front, by any people, groups, organizations, entities, etc., by the physical or non physical? and if so, what/who, trying to make things happen and/or influence our thinking?
Yes? No? Other? What?- Are there people or groups whose opinions, advice, etc., you agree with on this issue and would like to share with others? Please do so.
- Do you think that you, or a group of any size, can change what is supposed to happen (IS something "supposed to happen???" by our thoughts, intentions, etc....???)
DAVID PRICE FRANCIS returns: September 11 and 15
September 11 meeting: David delighted us two years ago with his wit, intelligence, humor, insights and experience as a result of his travels, studies and investigations over the last 30 years into ancient indigenous cultures, mostly in South America and Egypt. As we are very close to the end of this Mayan cycle, he has been invited back to share deeper insights with us as to what will the 2012 Transition bring. He tells us that the energies are becoming more active and the energies of the future are pushing back at us in these Energy Worlds of tomorrow. He will speak about the Mayan prophecies and the 2012 Transition in depth, the awakening influences of the ancients. That Megaliths, Monoliths an Ancient Mysteries all come alive.David also has arrived at some absolutely fascinating insights --- ones I bet no one has ever heard previously, regarding accents and dialects and what actually makes them so: Geopathic influence, how that works and why.
September 15 workshop: David will go into greater depth, tell you how to make your Energy Survival Kit, what people will need and what we need to be energetically robust in the future to Charge the Soul, Empower the Mind and Liberate the Spirit.
Read the article, in this issue, that David has written for us on:
"THE ENERGIES OF COSTUMES, CUSTOMS AND
LANGUAGE"

MICHAEL BASTINE, our June 2006 speaker -- RETURNS! Much has happened since that time, including the "Peace Village Elders" documentary in which he featured prominently and was debuted in Toronto last fall.
Michael has also written a book, co-authored with Mason Winfield, where they bring the paranormal beings and places of the Iroquois folklore tradition to life through historic and contemporary accounts of otherworldly encounters; recount stories of shapeshifting witches, giant flying heads, enchanted masks, ethereal lights, talking animals, Little People, spirit-choirs, potent curses, and haunted hills, roads, and battlefields; includes accounts of miraculous healings by shamans and medicine people such as Mad Bear and Ted Williams; shows how these traditions can help one see the richness of the world and help those who have lost the chants of their own ancestors ... and much more.
AND! Michael was interviewed on CoasttoCoast September 15, 2011, where he discussed his research of the rich legacy of the Iroquois Confederacy including stone giants, talking animals, dark magic, little people, and prophecies of a coming new age. "What is termed 'paranormal'," he said, "were activities within the Iroquois people that they would term as 'normal.'" youtube.com/watch?v=ZGGrFpEnX4o
Below are some of the notes from when he spoke to us June 2006. Very interesting, especially in light of what he will tell us next month.If you are reading this newsletter from the Internet:

Evil, is, a consequence.
When there are no humans involved, there is no evil.
Evil is the absence of the love of the creator.
Evil is something you can learn from.
Evil feeds on fear, on anger
Calm yourself. Realize you don't need it. Tell it it is time to leave.We love Michael's genuineness, true humility, sense of humor, wisdom, stories, the lack of self importance, the respect he has for each of us. We all fell so in love with Michael. And, as a rare honor, at the end, he received a standing ovation. THANK YOU MICHAEL!Atlantis was the first place on the planet for people. Sky Woman came down and started life there. It was the first Turtle Island. The elders knew there was a change, that the path of spirituality was to end. The "Hopi" means "The Peaceful Ones." Michael met Gordon Michael Scallion. Mad Bear had told him similar predictions 25 years before he met GMS. He spoke about all the groups who migrated. Mad Bear spoke about how you find your purpose as to what you are supposed to do in life. Dyani Wahoo (who is also greatly revered by Ivan McBeth and David Icke) sponsored a trip to India for Mad Bear and Michael. And set up a meeting that they had, for three hours, with the Dalai Lama. The Harmonic Concordance (2003) was a Harmonious Agreement. In Phase I, the Indigo Children came in. The Earth is reconfiguring the Energy Grid. Soul groups are coming in now, the ones the earth grid will allow, such as the Blues, Indigos and Violet. These are the most harmonious. However, the masses are interfering with what is needful to take place. We are getting closer to Galaxy alignment. The earth is in flux. Ley lines are being reconfigured. This has never happened before. We are preparing for a millennium of peace. We are seeing a polarity change. It is tied to the Mayan Calendar. The year is our year 2012. The earth and the sun will be in exact alignment with the center of the galaxy. We all have this impending feeling of something. To see what is around the corner, you have to go around the corner. Any time between now and ... 2008-2010, expect that major planetary events will take place. We are going to see more of these events. Within this next year, we will see continental land loss. Get involved. Choose your path. Come to the meeting and enjoy and listen. You don't have to do anything -- but you can. You don't have to take notes -- but you can. Just come and listen and enjoy and BE.

We are putting together THREE different kinds of workshops. For OCTOBER, NOVEMBER. The plans are not yet finalized, details will be made available as soon as they are firm. In the meantime, let us know if you have any questions.Stay tuned to this, your favorite channel!(1) Well known beloved internationally (in)famous Dowsing Diva Margaret Ball will teach us a thing or three and help us practice our dowsing skills
(2) Frequency Therapy System: How would you like to own a system, one that works on vibrational principles, one that can substantially improve your well being and is probably, at this point in time the premier frequency therapy system?
After years of hoping and research, one of our members found this system, experimented with it, loved it, and learned it, is making it available to us and will demonstrate it.
I have seen devices with this sort of functionality that cost $3,000-$5,000. The value of this software, that runs on your own computer, is exceptionally high. The cost is very low
This is a software program that you use on a computer (PC based, NOT!!! Mac - unfortunately) allowing you to use your computer as a modern Rife Machine. The system generates frequencies that you can receive through output devices such as headphones, speakers or paddles.
This system is used by doctors and therapists around the globe and is becoming a must have for alternative home practitioners as well.
While it has pre set programs you can also go into manual mode to enter any frequencies you like. You can also imbue water and oils for homeopathic remedies with the frequencies.
The Chakra Tools routine is a chakra alignment and balancing system
Ancient Healing Tones are special frequencies used by different cultures around the world for thousands of years.
The built in Sweep Generator is what you would use to find your own frequencies.
There is a built in Database and Notes so you can keep track of your progress.One or two workshops will be set up where this system will be demonstrated to you, probably one weekend half day and one weekday evening.
(3) Fall 2011, we found out how to Make Your Own Shiitake Mushroom Logs. We are working on bringing this workshop to the Toronto Dowsers, so you can have a continuous supply of fresh organic shiitake mushrooms, and it is easy to do. They are phenomenally healthy, superb for the immune system.

Harmonic Convergence 2 - September 22, 2012
A quarter-century ago, in 1987, the Harmonic Convergence catalyzed the largest simultaneous healing gatherings this world has ever witnessed. It inspired people around the globe to come together at sites held sacred by humanity, in order to synergize a new era of peace, consciousness and environmental purification.These 25 years later, it is all the more critical that the people of our world unify to stop the blatant poisoning of the people and wildlife of the Earth. We believe that given the opportunity to end global corporate control and stop harmful technologies, the majority of people on planet Earth will choose to create a world that serves the greatest good of all. /www.harmonicplanet.org/
Currently 13 banking families, and the corporations they control, run the global economy and all major media outlets. The vast array of academic studies conducted by concerned scientists that prove how we are being poisoned by these corporations, have been censored. And new technological advances that can replace these harmful activities have been hidden from public knowledge.
Dangerous technologies now being foisted upon the world include GMOs, pesticides, fracking, pharmaceuticals and vaccines smart meters and wireless radiation, weather control (HAARP/chemtrails) and toxic waste from industry and warfare.
One in three people are now getting cancer. Trillions of dollars can be saved yearly on healthcare alone, once poisonous activities are stopped. Ending war offensives that support harmful corporate control agendas can save just as much money. With the concerted will of the citizen’s of the Earth, a new economic system can create jobs based on “right livelihood”, that assure health and opportunity for all.
Please join us on the Autumn equinox, September 22, 2012, at grassroots gatherings held simultaneously throughout the world. These events will educate people about harmful corporate technologies and energize a new vision for the world based on truth, accountability and the will of the concerned majority.
The 14th Annual Energy Psychology Conference takes place in October

Your phone comes with a built-in magnetic sensor that is able to measure tri-axis magnetic fields. EMF Meter allows you to read the sensor's values and show them them to you in a graph! Just like special purpose EMF meters that will cost you several hundred dollars (as seen on paranormal tv shows such as Ghost Lab and a Haunting), except this app does it for free!
THIS IS NOT AN ENTERTAINMENT ONLY APP! It really does measure magnetic fields. Try it yourself by moving your phone around magnetic/metal objects!
Of course you can also use the EMF Meter to measure and detect sources of (electro) magnetic fields around your house and office. Thank you, Laurie!If you are reading this newsletter from Internet:

DISCONNECT! This is a browser plug-in (available for Chrome, Safari and Firefox) that blocks information about your browsing history from being sent back to the biggest social network providers — Digg, Facebook, Google, Twitter and Yahoo. https://disconnect.me developed by Brian Kennish.
Kennish worked for years as an engineer at Google, including much time spent developing their advertising and user-tracking code. After deciding one day to investigate what information, across how wide a swath of the Web, Google is collecting about us, Kennish quit his job, did further research, and wrote Disconnect.
It is recommended, too, that you see the 15 minute video given by Brian Kennish, co-founder of Disconnect. youtube.com/watch?v=BK_E3Bjpe0E
If you are concerned about the dragnet across thousands of web sites that tracks your every click and browsing history and personal and purportedly “anonymized” information such as your shopping habits, the web sites you visit, your reading list, friends and associates, your web searches … and if you wish to learn how that information then gets sent back to the data-tracking giants … this video will explain a lot, succinctly and clearly.
Kennish, like many others in the tech world, has invested hundreds and thousands of hours investigating and identifying what data is collected in the course of everyday web browsing, and to whom it is sent. Given that things get pretty fuzzy at the question, “And then what do those data recipients do with my data?”, it is recommended that you invest 15 minutes to take advantage of Kennish’s summary of his work and findings.
Then try out the plug-in. It does not interfere, it seems, with setting of cookies (but that is already under your control if you bone up on available browser preference settings), but instead simply prevents information about your browsing habits from being sent back to Facebook, Google, et al. Thank you, Ernst!
THE ENERGIES OF COSTUMES,
CUSTOMS AND LANGUAGE
by David Price Francis
www.EnergyWorlds.com
As dowsers are well aware, each land mass and each type of soil and rock formation exudes different kinds of energy. That is why some people prefer to go for their holidays to the seaside, where there are plenty of negative ions, while others like to hike in the mountains where the air is rarified and pure. When people contract TB, they are often sent to sanatoria located in the mountains, while those with respiratory disorders are sent to the seaside to breathe in the saline air.Different natures of vegetation, which grow in different climates and in different types of soil also contribute to a person’s well-being and transmit different kinds of energy. Green foliage takes in carbon dioxide and gives out oxygen, but depending on their shape, color and flowers each tree, bush and plant processes a different kind of energy. Since ancient times different gems, flowers or trees were ascribed to different astrological signs because they were seen to be processing different planetary and universal energies.
National dances and costumes are also a manifestation of the energies permeating the land where they were designed and choreographed. Everywhere in the world mountain dances have a certain similarity—they are usually high energy expressions of the kind of energy that is associated with high altitudes and craggy cliffs. The highland dances of Scotland, for example, or the vigorous dances of the Tatra mountains are full of high jumps and steps that require a great degree of energy and skill. Dances that are created in the valleys and low-lying plains, on the other hand, tend to be slow moving and with more intricate movements.
The color of national costumes, symbols, heraldry and flags are also a great indication of the energy that is produced and processed by the land in a particular region and which are therefore a prime influence on the people who live there. Red, for example, is a color that is associated with Mars (the “red planet”) and is vigorous and active in its nature. When a lot of red is found in a national costume it expresses an energy that affects the blood, which is also red, and heats up the system. It is the kind of energy that is associated with martial arts and military escapades (think of the English ‘red coats’). It is also attributed to the astrological sign of Aries. It is a good energy if a person is going to the gym or needs to have the energy to perform a menial task, but is not so good when life exigencies call for a more relaxing time, for rest and repair. That would be more a blue time and connecting to the energies of Venus or the Earth might be more beneficial (think of the early Celts in Britain who painted themselves from head to foot in blue woad).
During the 2004 Olympics a study demonstrated that the taekwondo, boxing and wrestling teams that wore red won more medals than their opponents. Since then this has also been confirmed for football. Perhaps not surprising that wearing the color red, when competing in a sport that implements red energy, might just give the competitors an extra edge to tip the balances toward winning.
Different energies have different colors and anyone who can see energy around people, animals and plants can confirm this. The colors we see in the natural worlds is a confirmation of what is energetically there. Green foliage which has such a healing effect on people as we go to nature to recuperate, renew and feel better, is a combination of the blue of the planet and the yellow of the sun. These two energies—blue and yellow—combine the cooling effect of the blue and the warming effect of the yellow to bring vitality and healing to those who turn to the natural worlds in search of rejuvenating and healing energies.
The different languages of the world (at the last count there were over 2,700 spoken languages on Earth) reflect the energies that emanate from the land in that area. Thus the word language itself is revealing as it suggests that the language spoken in a place is a gauge of the land (thus land-gauge). Language—its alphabet, vocabulary, rhythm, tone and even its accompanying gestures—are all a gauge of the rhythm of the land.
When English speaking people became domiciled in other countries, it is notable how they soon began speaking their native tongue with a different accent. Within a few generations, the language they spoke altered to become distinct within the region of its origin. Thus the English spoken in Ontario, for example, is quite different from that spoken in Alabama or Sydney, Australia. There are people who are able to tell where a person has come from within miles of their home town or city, just by listening to them speak. This is because the energy of the land affects their pronunciation, as well as their behavior and energy level.
The study of the energies of the different land masses of the world and how they affect human behavior, as well as plants and animals, is certainly fascinating and can keep us busy for the rest of our days. To me, a key point to remember is that all human behaviors, including customs, costumes, folk dance and language are born of the energy worlds, in which their real beginnings originate. When looking at the world ‘energy worlds’ first, many new understandings, perceptions and connections are waiting to be revealed.
One last thought before moving on - the energies of the land masses change with the onset of new astrological ages and, therefore, as we move into the age of Aquarius, the power carrier, we can expect changes in which parts of the world emit the stronger energy signals and affect the people who live there the most. There are also energy signals which are universal in nature and affect all people, wherever they live. These times of the fruition of the Mayan Prophecies are so anticipated because they are rooted in such universal signals, rather than the more local signals of particular planetary land masses...
There is certainly much for us to research, discover and connect to in these intense and exciting energetic times!
Motor Vehicles:
As you know, the Province of Ontario gives car owners an annual birthday
present: your birthday is the occasion when you get to pay your annual
car registration renewal fee. The fee is going up from $74 to $82
this year and to $90 in 2013.
Do they tell you this when they
send you your renewal so you can decide to pay for 2 years now, at the
lower fee? No, of course they do not. They don't want
you to know about it so they can glom more money from you next year.
And they do not have any signs in the Motor Vehicle offices, either, when
you go to renew your registrations, that you can pay the lower fee -- now.
ALL Motor Vehicle fees are going up. Below is just the fee schedule
for Car registration and Driver's License.
Garbage fees: When I went to pay for the facility rental for our September meeting, at the Holy Rosary Church, because we create trash for them, we were also assessed a "garbage fee". Because now the church will have the privilege of paying $400 / year for trash pick up, the fee to go up each year for the next 4 years. I am not blaming the church, just everywhere you look, governments are clawing more dough out of us.
Gary Null's "War On Health"
Gary Null is a very well known American (New York City) talk radio host on alternative health issues and has been broadcasting for decades. He is also a best selling author on alternative and complementary medicine and nutrition. On his talk radio show and in his books and self-produced movies, Null has criticized the medical community. He is an excellent spokesperson, putting many thoughts into words, attacking many facets of mainstream medicine, stating that the medical industrial complex has economic interest in promoting rather than preventing sickness. |
He recently completed an exceptionally well done 90 minute documentary.
Gary's excellent introduction is about 27 minutes long. He is long winded, and makes excellent points. I transcribed some of his words, below. He puts voice to the thoughts probably all of us have had but we have not found the words with which to express our thoughts. Gary did.
This documentary will probably get people motivated to act. You can see it for free, on YouTube. Please ensure you do so. Thank you, AleksWAR ON HEALTH - The FDA's Cult of Tyranny youtube.com/watch?v=VibVIRsHnI0
Progressive Radio Network presents A Gary Null Production
"WAR ON HEALTH: The FDA's Cult of Tyranny"
Introduced by the director (from his speech at the world premiere in New York City, June 15, 2012)"For over 10 years, the #1 reason for bankruptcy is because people could not pay their health care bills. We have 90 million Americans who are over 40 years of age. There is not 1 single person in the United States government who has created any program to care about your health as you get older. How in the world can you have 90 million people who are at risk of Alzheimer's, Dementia, Parkinsons, Inflammatory conditions, Heart Disease, Stroke, Diabetes, and no one is doing anything to prevent this at all? Because they're not paid to prevent your disease, they're rewarded for profiteering off your disease. That is a nation of medical parasites.

I decided to no longer walk up and gently knock on the door of bureaucracies and say will you please pay attention to us. I decided to do a documentary that we'd win and kick the goddamn door down.
Our problems have nothing to do with Democrats and Republicans. I am apolitical. This has everything to do with right and wrong. And that is completely political.
We have been treated as if we are incompetent and incapable of making reasonable and rational choices in our life. Those of us who choose to eat a healthy diet we were considered and are still considered to this day: Nuts. We're considered crazy. We're considered loons. We're denigrated. In America today we have only one Truth and that is Official Truth. If you do not believe in the Official Truth then you are considered of no consequence in the dialogue.
How absurd is it when they control the dialogue and the vocabulary to take good work that is empowering people and pathologize the people as if they are just another series of diseases to which orthodox medicine and official input from their scientists are the only cure. They are the disease and we should no longer allow them to impact our thoughts.
I believe we are in a perfect storm. I believe that within the next 24 months America will face social challenges. I believe that the 254 million Americans who are suffering and will continue to suffer as nothing will change for them will begin to go to the streets. I believe our streets will become increasingly chaotic and you will see that what has been happening in other countries where they have cut back, you will see this happening in the United States, in major cities."

Bad Cough Gone --- Thanks to:
(Dental help here, too)
Every year I seem to get a bad cough. This year, it was really bad. It started in December and finally left, despite many kinds of treatment, in July! A dry cough. What happened in July? I used a different method, a new one, for me --- MMS Protocol. There is MMS 2, but I use the MMS 1. I used a combination of Clara's 6 and Protocol 1000.If you are reading this newsletter from Internet:

Our good friend Marna Ehrech, Dowsing and crystal goddess in Vermont, reminded me of Honegar. What's Honegar? The old timey recipe from Dr. Jarvis in Vermont that cures everything: Apple Cider Vinegar, and Honey.
True believers write passionately about how apple cider vinegar has helped with everything from rheumatism, arthritis and weight loss to relieving fatigue, headaches and insomnia. The testimonies claim to hark back to 400 BC, when Hippocrates was swigging the stuff.
Going back several hundred years, apples have continuously been used for medicinal purposes as well for cleaning. Apple cider, the sweet drink normally consumed in the autumn and winter, is not able to cleanse the body. Apple cider vinegar is what is meant by apple cider internal cleansing. Apple cider vinegar is usually fermented and contains many vitamins, minerals, and other elements that help promote a healthy body. Some of those are magnesium, potassium, iron, and calcium. All these substances clean out your body by helping multiple areas rid themselves of toxins, impurities, and inflammation.
Honey is a carbohydrate compound that helps create and move energy through the body. It also promotes cell oxidation and the breaking down of harmful bacteria to keep the body clean and balanced.Mix 1 Tablespoon. of (raw, unpasteurized) Honey and 1 Tablespoon. of Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV). Add the mixture to a one cup warm water, stir, and enjoy. This will help cleanse your colon. Drinking a cup of this mixture daily should help regulate your digestive tract and keep you regular.
With the combination of apples and honey in your system, there are several internal ailments that can slowly be cured. It all begins when you take in these two ingredients and they stimulate your immune system. They are both used as disinfectants and antiseptics to kill harmful bacteria in the digestive tract that are responsible for causing food poisoning. Also, for body chemical and energy balance, apples and honey help restore your pH levels. That means you have greater resistance to the common cold and flu, ulcers, headaches, and even yeast infections. Apple cider vinegar and honey also make a good fiber additive that helps lower cholesterol and controls your blood sugar.
Honegar also helps detoxify the liver to promote overall health and aid in weight loss.
Inflammation in your joints that could cause arthritis and osteoporosis is lowered so your bone mass can stay strong.
Awake and Energetic
From: "The Secrets of People Who Never Get Sick" by Gene
Stone
"My friend Bill Thompson, sixty-three years old, from Clearwater Florida, first learned about hydrogen peroxide form researcher and hydrogen peroxide expert Kenneth Seaton, MD. Among other things, Seaton's studies found that when the beneficial bacteria in your system encounter harmful bacteria, they excrete a little bit of hydrogen peroxide to destroy them. Thus, the thinking goes, hydrogen peroxide is a natural germ killer.Supportive information: mercola.com/article/colds/hygiene_systems.htm |||| thenhf.com/article.php?id=757
So, each morning, Bill pours a coffee cup's worth of hydrogen peroxide into a sink filled with lukewarm water, shuts his eyes, puts his head in the sink, and blows bubbles through his nose to get the mixture circulating. "Standing naked, my face in the water, I hope no one is behind me because it's not a pretty sight," he says.
Bill credits the routine for his perfect health, he hasn't had even a cold in more than wo decades. At his last physical, his doctor told him he had the EKG of a twenty-year-old. Bill takes it one step further. "When you take your face out of the water, you feel like you're eighteen years old."I have been using this method, often, usually in the evening, when I'm too tired but still want to do some things, mostly mental activities. It wakes me right up. And, I do NOT use "a coffee cup's worth of hydrogen peroxide". Not nearly that much. Neither do I use the sink.
I have a glass bowl, like a basin, fill that up with warm water.
I put in --- maybe --- 3 Tablespoons H202, that is what dowses out for me. And! This is the funny part: I got a children's snorkeling tube from the dollar store for a dollar, and use that. (Regular H202, not food grade)
So there I stand, by the bathroom sink, the bowl filled with water and H202, my head (face) in it, with the snorkeling tube sticking out. Must look pretty funny. Blowing bubbles through my nose. My friend says that it is the blowing bubbles through the nose that kills pathogens. But when I pick my face out of it I feel refreshed and wide awake. I do like doing this.
If you try this, please let me know what you think. I am curious.
NOTE: If you have concern about the H202 you may recall that when following Oxygen therapy you ingest a small amount of [food grade] Hydrogen Peroxide daily. I also asked a naturopath about this method and he reminded me that some naturopaths inject a dilute solution intravenously,

MORE MOUTH CARE STUFF
Three things that helped me this summer with a horrid infection.
MICROBRITE: I had a horrid tooth ache this summer. It was suggested that I get MicroBrite Antioxidant Tooth Powder (by RBC Life Sciences, Irving, Texas). I did. BIG Difference. With an antioxidant tooth powder, it can get rid of the debris that clings to teeth and gums which is oxidized and acidic. The debris creates a dingy film that is not completely removed by brushing with the average toothpaste. MicroBrite® contains the powerful antioxidant, Microhydrin® (developed by Patrick Flanagan) which provides trillions of negatively charged hydrogen ions.
These ions bind to the positively charged particles in the mouth and soften them to make removal easier, giving you cleaner teeth and gums. This action aids in the removal of food build-up from your teeth. They also reduce the surface tension of the water you use to brush your teeth, allowing it to more effectively dissolve debris.
MicroBrite® creates a more alkaline environment in the mouth to neutralize mouth acids that can otherwise etch away at the enamel of your teeth and damage healthy gum tissue.
It's a little pricey, but goes far and I feel it is worth it. It made a huge differenceThieves Mouthwash: Man, everything in my mouth hurt this summer. Thieves helped soothe and heal while the real healing was going on. Greatly. Some of the understandable ingredients are: (Peppermint) Leaf Water, Melissa Officinalis Leaf Water, Colloidal Silver, Peppermint Oil, Lecithin, Polysorbate 80, Flower Bud Oil, (Spearmint) Leaf Oil, Citrus Limon (Lemon) Peel Oil, Cinnamomum Verum† Bark Oil, l, Eucalyptus Radiata† Leaf Oil, Rosemar) Leaf Oil, and Tocopherol (Vitamin E).
MMS: MMS healed things up beautifully.

Mix cayenne pepper with vaseline and put it on your joints. Wrap them. Make sure you wash your hands to make sure you don't get it in your eyes or on your sensitive areas, such as your privates. Just on the area where you want to get rid of the pain. The vaseline helps to bring the healing action of the cayenne into the joints. - Thank you, Vern.The remainder of these anecdotal comments come from various sources:
"Do some research on anti-inflammatory foods and supplements. Turmeric is one of those. I mix 1/4 teaspoon of powder in water daily. It doesn't taste great so mix it with something else. You can buy it in pill form, but its much cheaper to buy the bulk powder. Good luck."
Read this: .health-science-spirit.com/borax.htm
"The Borax Conspiracy", How the Arthritis Cure has been Stopped by Walter Last (Do you know of Walter Last? One of the great old timey health gurus. Check out that site and his other articles.)
(NOTE: For the longest time, Boron was disallowed as a supplement in Canada. Could never find out why. Then, it was allowed. Boron is one of the essential minerals for healthy bones. Any bone supplement from the US that was sold in Canada — they had to take out the boron. Now it seems (?) Boron is okay in Canada but not in the US. Absurd.)"Try looking into oxalates. I have had rheumatoid arthritis for a decade and a half. One year ago I cut out dairy and grains and it was truly miraculous at eliminating my joint pain. However, it wasn't until I learned about the role oxalates can play in joint issues and learned to keep my oxalate intake to a minimum that my true healing began. Here is a great place to start learning about it: /health.groups.yahoo.com/group/Trying_Low_Oxalates/" Many fruits and vegetables are high in oxalates and can actually make arthritis worse."

The 2012 Transition
JAMES McSHANE: From our March 2012 speaker, James McShane. This is remarkable. Do you get the connection between these 2 ancient civilizations?
"It's the ending of the Mayan illusion. The veil [Maya] is being lifted. That separates us from the God head. Our direct link to the God head will be recognized after 2012. The forerunners of this were the 11:11 people of 1987."
The connection: We are focused
here, on the MAYAN calendar.
What do we struggle with? MAYA.
The veil of forgetfulness.
MAYAN. and MAYA.
One from the Mayans one from the Hindu. When you realize this, doesn't
it give you chills? Is there a connection? Maybe so, maybe
not. What do you think?
MICHAEL TELLINGER:
Michael Tellinger, from South Africa, an international authority on the
origins of humankind, scientist, author, explorer, and more, was the keynote
speaker at the American Society of Dowsers annual 2012 convention.
He also gave a presentation in Toronto July 3, 17 that Toronto Dowsers
attended. He speaks about Adams Calendar, a new (to us) discovery of an
ancient circular monolithic stone calendar site which has proven to be
at least 75,000 years old, pre-dating any other structure found to date,
and its mysteries. Where we have been, where we are going.
Here is an excerpt from his presentation:
"So what have we learned from all this? It is mind blowing stuff. We are coming into contact with advanced knowledge, technology of the ancients. It is important to internalize and deal with this information. If we can not use it, its useless.DICK SUTPHEN: Richard "Dick" Sutphen is a well known psychic and past life researcher and therapist. He began a career in advertising and realized that effective advertising is the power of persuasion. In the mid-seventies, Sutphen sought to expand his understanding of this power by studying brain/mind technology and hypnosis. Some time ago, Toronto Dowsers received a copy of a previous article he wrote "The Battle For Your Mind", 1981, an indepth explanation on brain washing. His well researched metaphysical material is read by thousands, he has written several bestselling books and conducted seminars for over 185,000 people.It is telling us that we are reaching the conclusion of a prophecy, the one that all the ancients talk about, that the end days will be as the first days, as above so below. We are rediscovering free energy. Scientific and physical evidence that we have is an unlimited amount of free energy coming out of these stones at Adams Calendar.
So much that our energy devices can't even measure it. We know that sound can create anything. We are getting huge amounts of sound out of every one of these stone circles. One of those magnetron stone circles gives us more energy than all of the power stations existing on earth today. All we need to do is to understand how to tap into that source of energy. We are so close to tapping into free energy. It is all around us. And we all know that Free Energy is the thing that we are actually after. Once we have Free Energy it is very difficult to control humanity. We are in 2012. We are crossing the Galactic Plane. It's the whole giant cycle – the rise and fall of civilization, this large 26,000 year cycle.
"The Galactic Light", as the ancients call it "The Great Sun". All Light and All Life comes from The Great Sun. It is an explosion of Consciousness, the crossing of this dense belt of knowledge and consciousness and information — that is doing — what? It is filling us with knowledge. It is raising our Consciousness Levels. It is filling us with Knowledge. Consciousness. It activates our junk DNA. For this incredible information I refer you to William Brown, a presentation he also did in Johannesburg, on "DNA and The Morphogenetic Field" and how it all connects and how the cosmic light actually activates our junk DNA. And brings us into enlightenment and into higher levels of consciousness and creates a feedback mechanism that allows us to just explode exponentially into consciousness.

This is an excerpt from The Shift Preparedness Seminar::
We go to Tuzigoot National Monument, in Arizona, which is a Sinagua Indians monument.
The Sinagua were a pre-Columbian cultural group occupying an area in central Arizona between Flagstaff and Phoenix, including the Verde Valley and significant portions of the Mogollon Rim country between approximately 500 AD and 1425 AD.
The last known record of Sinagua occupation was around 1425 AD. The reasons for abandonment of their habitation sites are not yet known, but warfare, drought, and clashes with the newly arrived Yavapai people have been suggested. Several Hopi clans trace their roots to immigrants from the Sinagua culture. [Sin Agua means "without water" in Spanish.]They thrived in the area until the 1300s, one of many multi family structures where the natives left. No one is sure what caused the exodus. They believe it could be they ran out of food or water. Or there was disease. Or the tribes warred among themselves.
Then I read that geologists claim that the last time the Gulf Stream slowed down was in the 1300's and the result was a 47 year drought that covered the entire southwest.
The Gulf Stream is a huge oceanic conveyor belt that transports heat from the Equatorial regions up towards the Atlantic Circle. This provides warmer temperatures in Northern Europe. The current cools as it moves north, and drops deeper, circulating as it moves back South where it warms again and rises back up and heads north. But Global Warming has weakened the circulation because increased meltwater from Greenland and from the Arctic and Antarctic ice sheets plus greater river runoffs from Russia. Now all this freshwater decreases the salt content of the sea making it harder for the cooler water to sink. This slows down the engine that drives the current and the current slowed 30% in the last 12 years.

Hi Marilyn,
Regarding 2012 and beyond:
You put it well: is it the beginning of a Golden Era of Higher Consciousness? Or the beginning of world social, ecological, economic collapse and turmoil? Some of both? Will we go the way of Atlantis or the Mayan worlds? Much written on all points of view. Hard to stay positive when one sees the US morphing into fascist corporatocracy.
I can't say I have been taking steps along with survivalists. I don't own a gun, I'm not stocked up on provisions. If our water or power were suddenly cut off for an indefinite amount of time, I'd be like the mass of unprepared humanity. I haven't bought gold or silver. (Did you see the article in the STAR recently about the guy who tried to cash in a silver or gold coin at a bank and they wouldn't honour it? what would be the purpose of owning such a thing, then? Or was that article planted for some heinous purpose? There's so much misinformation and disinformation out there that the relatively uneducated are at a loss for the best way to proceed. But it's a discussion well worth having, and as a group we could function as resources for each other.
I have a friend-colleague who is totally aware of the slow rise of the fascist state here and in the US. She is the one who turned me on to Alex Jones and related info. A friend of hers made a book list for me in case I wanted to get really informed. She says most of these are available on Alex Jones's website:SNIP
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * "According to Ed Danes "Kill Shot" the Solar Flare will burn out the southern hemisphere so it must occur in the time frame from our (northern) winter until springtime. It would be summer in Australia / New Zealand at which time they aim right at the Sun. Here in North America, we will be slightly away from it.
I am getting a big garden wagon to haul water from river as electricity will be out due to the burned out grid. No electricity no water pumps .... lot of disease from lack of water plus dying from the lack. Web Bot says the net will be down from December 21 to May 2013. It would take that long to get emergency backup running nationwide if a Solar Flare hits at that time. Lot of cancers from the intense radiation ... it could cause the dollar to collapse as no banking services will be available. Lot of magnetic storage of vital records wiped out ... if they are not on a DVD or CD the info will be lost .... Be sure you have hard copies of bank deposits and other monetary papers for proof of ownership.
People on insulin and heart medicine would be the first to go .... or recover. The first President Bush had a law passed that if you have more than three day supply of food you are hoarding and would lose it and be punished in a time of crisis. They know it is coming ... We couldn't even take care of one city during the Katrina Hurricane much less the whole nation." - SNIP
Changes are occurring. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
I noticed a big shift in June regarding the veil being lifted. Someone came to me from the future to change something! Also, I have helpers come to assist in spirit that are still alive, this is not new, but the is quality different.
I wonder how many people are feeling stronger sense to gather together - I probably mentioned to you before that I have dreamed about gathering with women for planetary work.
Really feeling a draw, like a longing, to collaborate with others.
Also experiencing over the past year - old issues resurfacing for completion.
And a lot of stuff does not have the same hold on me.
Have a big desire to break free, like out of the Matrix.
Find I am even more sensitive to the energies of others.
Noticed more manipulation from entities and other planetary/dimensional beings last year and the year before - quite unsettling. Remote viewers, and 3 experiences with non-humans. SNIPI have not responded to your questions about 2012 because I have nothing but questions on this subject. I want to believe it means ascendance rather than physical catastrophe but there are indications of both things on the horizon, so I'm not sure where to place my bet. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
As to whether there is behind-the-scenes manipulation - I never want to engage in conspiracy theorizing, though I admit anything is possible. But since it makes me feel bad and there's little I could do to stop such a thing from going on, I prefer to direct my thoughts elsewhere.
On the other hand, I totally believe focused thought, especially when positive and engaged in en masse, has massive potential to change things. -
I think many people's awareness will be raised to point where they won't be able to stand it.
And many will be involved with premature, involuntary accessions to the next plane...
One out of control event could make things could get very ugly, very quickly.
On the other hand, things could just muddle on for a bit longer...I also think it's a good time for some Yogi Berra quotes:
"Take it with a grin of salt."
"It ain't over til it's over."
"You can observe a lot just by watching."
"If you don't know where you're going, you might not get there."
"It's deja vu all over again"
"The future ain't what it used to be "
"When you come to a fork in the road, take it."
"I really didn't say everything I said."
"If the world were perfect, it wouldn't be. "
"It's tough to make predictions, especially about the future." - SNIP
My sense of the direction for 2012 and beyond, was that there are 2 very different paths and both will manifest. Some will experience one or the other, some will experience both and if so they will have to make a choice. Already awash in the new energies we have been anticipating for so long, we are on the brink.
The extreme of one path brings us to a delicious ascension, where we are in a true age of high consciousness and enlightenment, peace and love.
The other shows global geographic catastrophes, power failures, anarchy, a fight for survival.
As we draw closer to this time, speculating if we are about to be pulled into currents of catastrophe or those of ascension like energies, I am realizing that strange as it may sound, it seems to me that we will experience both outcomes. We have already been experiencing severe weather effects as in earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricane, fire, floods, droughts. We can expect this to increase in intensity and in frequency around the planet, in part due to the activities of the sun.
On the other hand, the human one, those who seek to control us will succeed in destabilizing the major economies of the world where the so called wealth many have thought they have accrued will just be disappeared. "They" will use technology to try control assets, movement, health, thought, etc. Because they have momentum, they will have partial success and then they will collapse.
One of the make sense probabilities is that the financial collapse will wait until after the 2012 US presidential election. That "they" are holding things up until that time, hoping to re elect the incumbent.
Our society bases forecasts on past observations. For example, If it has been warm in July in Ontario for many years and we think we understand the reasons for this and the reasons do not change, we predict it will always be warm in July in Ontario. Unlike everything else, our recorded history has never experienced what we are about to, so folks are all over the place.
Another eventuality I have not heard about thus far: All these ‘natural disasters' are very expensive and take a big toll on the insurance companies. They will be in big financial trouble and they play key roles in our financial structure. The hits they have taken and will take will help to collapse economies.
For all of the above reasons, I think it is a good thing to prepare for one's own physical survival. SNIP
MICHAEL BASTINE, our October 2012 as well as our June 2006 speaker, featured prominently in the Documentary "Peace Village Elders. It was premiered Fall 2011, in Toronto. http://www.peacevillageelders.com/
This feature length documentary is a wake up call delivered by indigenous Elders from throughout the Americas about the need for deep reflection and radical change in our relationship with the environment and each other. At the heart of The Peace Village story, are messages from the hearts of indigenous Elders to the heart of the Earth and her people.
Here’s the challenge: Are we so hypnotized by our steady diet of media-fed horrors and brutality, that we’ve despaired of ever achieving the dream of a violence-free world? Or are we ready for the shift from the war path to the peace path? Does anybody even know what peace looks like?
Narrated by Ven. Dhyani Ywahoo, who’s been teaching the profound spiritual practice of peacemaking for over 3 decades, the documentary provides a rare opportunity to witness Native Elders from North, Central, and South America, exploring how to walk the way of peace and sustainability in a world overrun with paths to war and environmental devastation.
"We are in crisis,” says Algonquin Elder Mike Bastine. And yet, with incredible humor & skill, he & each of the Elders, continue to clarify the urgent issues we all face, and to offer simple yet profoundly powerful tools for catalyzing positive change. The opportunity for enlightened transformation is upon us.
"2012 is not a scary thing. 2012 is actually the starting point of a Golden Age and what these kinds of groups are doing. These are the preparatory stages so they can assist you so you can assist others to enjoy a Golden Age. The Y2K thing was a man made event. We are not in terrifying and scary times. It was that perception that was given to you because the media and governments like to instill these kinds of feelings into you. What this is to do is to help you understand that you don't have to enter into that game. You don't have to play that version. In the Iroquois traditions it's the women that we stand behind. We let them take their role because those are the leaders, it was a matriarchal society. For a good reason. It follows the cycles of this creation. It is the most powerful element that you can align yourself with. When we start to see how this fits in, it makes so much sense to understand the natural cycles. The natural cycles are the elements that restore who we really are. It goes far beyond race, culture and these other elements that occupy our time while we go through this journey. If you are going to involve yourself in activities in this life and occupy your time it should be kind of guiding and directing you in a place that prepares you to be ready for what is coming. It is not a horrible thing. When they used to say It's the End of the World and there is this fear rattling thing that rumbles through certain groups, they would think that yes it is the end of the world. I can assuredly tell you, there is no such thing as the end of the world. This place has been here for so long and it is going to continue to be here. There are ends of time periods, there are ends of civilizations but there is no such thing as the end of the world. It should give you the comfort and the confidence to help know that it is all of our responsibilities to learn as much as we can because the more we understand the more you can move through this with the confidence that you know you can sleep well at night and work through it with the assistance and the guidance of the elders. They are not here to conquer any world or become famous. They are here to provide assistance for real humans. And that is what all of you and they are. They have not been notified. It is our job to recognize the fact that they are all real humans. It is not too late for anything. That is the work that we came here to do. The work that fulfills your purpose for being here. This is it. This is what makes me feel content in this life. It is an honor for me to do this and I am humbled by it."
