Our guest is Dr. Keith Scott-Mumby, who I heard for the first time a couple of years ago now on Coast to Coast AM radio, and I loved his attitude about healthcare and his courage to tell us the truth about many controversial topics in medicine today. For over 30 years Prof Keith Scott-Mumby has been a well-known and respected pioneer in alternative medicine, writing and broadcasting all over the world. The author of Diet Wise, Dr Scott-Mumby is a British trained MD, now living in California. And he’s talking with us during the National Immunization Awareness Week about the truth about vaccinations and their safety.

We’ll be covering topics such as:

• Should we be treating infectious diseases at all?
• The rise of asthma-related deaths
• What is the scientific evidence behind vaccinations and their effectiveness
• How many doctors are choosing NOT to vaccinate their own kids
• The link between immunizations and autism
• Some alternative solutions to vaccinations
• Steps you can take to deal with the side-effects of vaccinations

And remember to check out Dr. Keith Scott-Mumby’s sites:

“What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.”
— Ralph Waldo Emerson

Take all the energy you put into thinking about the past and all the energy that you put into wondering and worrying about the future, and put it all into your present self.

That wonderful, powerful, creative person you are can barely come out to see the daylight when you get lost in all the pasts and futures. Create your NOW and forget about the yesterdays and the tomorrows.

You, as you are right at this very moment, is far greater than anything you have been in the past or could be in the future. Don’t waste away your days spinning your wheels for a different time when this is the moment that counts.

“The best and safest thing is to keep a balance in your life, acknowledge the great powers around us and in us. If you can do that, and live that way, you are really a wise man.”
—Euripides (484 BC - 406 BC)

Gratitude is a great way to maintain balance in your life. Being grateful for the great powers around us that help us day to day is essential to continued abundance and well-being. Being thankful for all the small details that come together to complete the puzzle of our lives is also just as important.

However, one of the most neglected areas to keep in balance is our awareness of our own inner powers. How quick we are to acknowledge others and their abilities, and how quick we usually are to bring ourselves down. We choose to look at the mistakes we have made in our lives, and dismiss all the wonderful things about us that make us powerful, unique individuals.

“Our character is basically a composite of our habits. Because they are consistent, often unconscious patterns, they constantly, daily, express our character.”
—Stephen Covey

Have you ever thought about how many habits we have? Everyday we go through habitual routines without even thinking about them. When you shower and dry off, have your ever noticed that you wash and dry your body parts in the exact same pattern each time? What about driving to work, preparing food, getting ready for bed. Are you consciously thinking of the steps you are taking, or do they just happen like they did the day before, and the day before that?

Now, what about the habits that aren’t that great for us and we want to change? Do we continue to do them without thinking? Or, do we realize that we are on the wrong path and change direction? Read the rest of this entry »

“There are no endings, just new beginnings.” — Unknown

When something good comes to an end, we tend to feel sadness and loss. And that’s natural. We had something good in our life, we want to keep that feeling around. And then something new comes our way.

When something that wasn’t so good comes to an end, there may be feelings of relief. We take in a deep breath and say, “Thank goodness it is over.” Then we look ahead and see what else we can begin.

Both situations actually have the same result. When something ends, good or not so good, we need to see it as a new beginning. Say “thank you” for the previous experience — because we have learned something from either situation. Take a deep breath, and say “What’s next? I’m ready.”

“When things are bad, we take comfort in the thought that they could always be worse. And when they are, we find hope in the thought that things are so bad they have to get better.” — Unknown

Get in the habit of asking, “What’s good about this?” Training your brain and heart to ask and search for the good will help you to set a new way of viewing the world automatically, no matter what the situation or circumstance. And you will also find that happiness finds you no matter what the circumstance when you put out that pattern or habitual frequency of thought.

She loves food — eating it, preparing it, and I especially feeding it to others. Her mission is to get everyone she comes in contact with off diets for good. With that goal in mind, she became a Registered Holistic Nutritionist and Practitioner, and launched “The Nutritional Gourmet” in 2004. As a consultant and teacher, she assists clients from all walks of life and all levels of health issues. Her goal for her clients is to create a life of longevity and great health through great food and get you on the right path to one of the most valuable and energizing relationships of your life – the “guilt-free” relationship with your food.

Hello, this is Owynn (NOTE: my niece).

This year I am volunteering with my school, and the World Vision 30 Hour Famine Program. Last year, over 100,000 teens across the country did the World Vision 30 Hour Famine, and raised over $4.5 million. This year I am joining them by fundraising for children in countries such as Uganda, Tanzania, India, Cambodia, and Ecuador.

During the Famine, I will fast for 30 hours; I will drink only water, in order to feel just a fraction of what they go through everyday of their life. In addition, I will raise funds to help provide nutritious food, clean water, medicine, and shelter for children.

This is where you come in; I am writing today to ask if you would consider donating to support me in the Famine. The good news is, a little money goes a long way: $30 can feed a child and their family for one month. This year, I am aiming to raise $250 to help children and families around the world. Any help you could provide me would be greatly appreciated. To donate, click the following link:

If you need more information about the Famine and how it helps children around the world you can visit famine.ca or contact me. Thank you so much for your consideration and kind heart.

“One of the most valuable things we can do to heal one another is listen to each other’s stories.”
— Rebecca Falls

I have always had the opportunity to listen to the stories of my friends and family. They often turned to me for a sympathetic ear or even, from time to time, a shoulder to cry on. I may not have always had the perfect thing to say to comfort them, or know the right advice to get them through. But that wasn’t what they really needed anyway.

We all need a safe place to share our stories so that we can release our emotions and move on to a healthy, happy state of mind. Switch the roles every now and then and be the ear for someone else. Find that support person that will unconditionally be there to hear you.

If you have something you would like to safely and anonymously write about, leave a comment and let it out. Maybe someone out there is going through a similar situation and can offer a tip or two as well.

“Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die, life is a broken-winged bird that cannot fly.”
— Langston Hughes

What are dreams? Dreams are our passions. They are the goals that live in our heart, but are often pushed aside for the goals we feel we should have, the ones we feel are acceptable or necessary to have in life.

Honor the hidden dreams of your passions even if you cannot accomplish them right now. Believe in them and allow them to unfold when they are ready to enter into your life. When you allow your dreams to live in you and in your heart, you will find yourself flying higher in joy than when you try to bury them or deny their existence.

Keep dreaming, and keep dreaming big. When you least expect it they may greet you at your door.
