Admission

Life is cyclical as the Book of Ecclesiates says - there is a season for everything, a season for sowing a season for reaping. 

Lately I have been thinking of some of the things I did that hurt people, of course my ego tells me otherwise.  I had a wise counselor who challenged me to apologize to someone I have hurt and probed me to see if I have done anyone some good.   I took her words to heart and apologized to a customer whom I thoughtt I was rude to.  If I have hurt anyone reading this message, I apologize to you.

Admitting wrong is difficult for me and most Americans.  Somewhere we were bombarded with entitlement ideas, I suppose from the countless hours of watching the drivel on TV or from the environments we are exposed to every day.

Admission of guilt is difficult to do but it necessary to pull out the barbs that embed in our spirits, a release of the wrong we committed.  This is not to be confused with religous guilt which is simply a mental programming.  A more practical idea is to understand that actions and words, or taking no action had a negative impact on someone else's life.  In other words,  there were consequences of those actions.   I also beleive that restitution is part of that equation, whether telling that person we did wrong or making financial restitution. -then the circle is completed otherwise brokenness lingers.

I will never forget the day that a customer screamed at me because I was late by a few minutes.  Of course she had no idea what preceded this and for her that made no difference.  She spewed hatred towards me.  I had serviced her countless times before and always gave top service.  One slip and I was disregarded as a human being and demoralized.   Little did she know the personal tragedy I had encountered before and I would suspect she could have cared less.

  She simply put her needs before mine and let me know how much more important she was than me.   She decided to leave the barb of hatred deep into my being and by refusing to apologize, the barb remained.   In church terms this is called iniquity.  Inquity is simply the stain that is left behind following an infraction.  It is done with intent and is evil - it is malicious.   Apologies allow the stain to be cleaned up, pride stops that from happening.


I beleive in a type of Karma in which what you sow is what you reap.  When you project entitlement then you will return darkness and emptiness - when you project gratuity, you receive more back.   No person deserves more than another, there is no positon in life that people attain that makes them better except in their own mind.   Humility is about being content in your situation and not lording over another person because their lot in life.   There is no rule, to say where you are is better than the next or that you deserved what you received.   This is simply a caste system which I think is dead wrong. 


I remember a story told to me by gentleman who had a near death experience.  He was a non -practicing Catholic and found himself sitting on the edge of a canyon viewing an ultra large TV screen of his life.   He told me that he was able to feel the pain from the people he hurt, what that was like.  I asked if he was judged for this in which he replied 'no'.  He told me that it was his goal to become a nurse at 60 years old as he told me the only thing that was important was love.   Just love and nothing more.

  

Chart Analysis

I have a mathematical formula in which I can accurately forecast trend changes in stocks, commodities and currency (Forex).   I utilize a fractal mathematics approach.   I offer chart analysis for individuals and institutional traders who are looking for better trading decisions.   My chart analysis is free with no obligations.  

I have a whole library of trades that were done with date stamps to prove authenticity.   The chart below is for Facebook (FB).   I do not depend on vague indicators, astrology or any Gann techniques but strict mathematical principals based loosely on Dr. Benoit Mandelbrot's work.  All things have vibration and vibration can be measured and quantified.   Please contact me here on this blog or email bayer234 at g m a i l

Bartonella and CFS

There appears to be growing evidence of 'Stealth Infections' as an underlying etiology in many diseases.  Common blood screenings refuse to show these infections and most clinicians have no education concerning the connection between chronic disease and pathogens.   The pathogens that are at the top of the list are the ones the media promotes such as e coli and salmonella, but there are a plethora of other infectious organisms that can cause major problems.

I was infected what is thought to be a protozoa parasite (pathogenic subtype of Iodamoeba butschlii)  From the research and the feedback from the forum (pptu.lefora.com), it is well known the damage these organisms can do.   This parasite caused profound problems for me in which I had a wide range of problems.  

However protozoa are just among many organisms that create problems.
I ran across an article about the psychiatric anomalies that Bartonella causes for people.  Profound changes occurred with these people including anxiety, depression, mood changes, hostility and hopelessness. (1)

Bartonella is a gram negative bacteria that is transmitted from animals such as cats and rodents, it is also known as cat scratch fever.   These live intracellular, meaning they lodge into the cells and create havoc.   It was considered at one time to be a limiting infection, that is an infection that is short-lived but current research is showing this to be false.   Researchers have found many types or subtypes (13 that can infect humans) of the Bartonella species that were once unknown  and believe that this is an up and coming infection.  Rheumatism is a medical condition that affects muscles, joints, tendons, nerves and bones - Bartonella is one pathogen that has been implicated in this.

Testing methods from the past failed to identify these in humans but new approaches are leading to clearer definitions says Dr. Breitschwerdt a leading researcher at North Carolina State.  At some time in the future, it is my hope that a single blood draw will be able to correctly identify the pathogens.

It is all in your head

(pictures by Marc Chagall  )

I must advise you that I am not a medical professional so I am 

unable to diagnose or offer treatment solutions for you.  This information

is presented as educational material and should be 

discussed with your health care professional.

"It is all in your head" is what was told to me for years - told to me by the doctors, the medical establishment, my co-workers, my friends and family.   What they all missed was the chronic infection that lodged in my body.

Eastern Medicine (e.g. Traditional Chinese Medicine) does not look at disease like Western.   They understand the delicate balance that occurs in the body and how one system that becomes awry then affects the entire eco-system.   For instance a liver that is congested with the daily toxins of American life (flame retardants found in carpets, furniture, pesticides and herbicides to the horrible food supply that is laden with mineral deficiencies, colorings, additives and preservatives).  The Chinese recognize that the liver plays a key role in the rest of the body.   American medicine simply shrugs its shoulders and waits for your liver enzymes to go sky high and even if they do then they have no remedy except to poison you with more chemicals :(-


Chronic infections produce many bad things both directly and indirectly that affect all processes including brain (emotional, cognitive and behavioral).  Sadly many people self-medicate with increased alcohol and drug use.  And if this does not do the trick, we spend billions of dollars treating these people with poisonous substances and send them to psychologists and counselors who put them into the mill which most will never get out of.   And as a caveat, I am not advocating that  these systems are necessarily wrong but I think in certain cases they may be necessary and perhaps life-saving.  However I advocate that causative factors should be considered first.    Treat the causative  (core factors) first then use the other methods if necessary.

But chronic infections are not the only causative factor for 'in your head' symptoms, environmental toxins from mercury and other toxic metals (lead, cadmium etc), toxic fluoride, improper diet that is laden with highly processed foods, mineral and vitamin deficiencies (vitamin D, B vitamins etc), toxic relationships, hardships, trials, persecution, financial woes, spiritual deficiencies - all these can lead to impaired neurological functioning.

Chronic infections release many immune factors such as cytokines that enter the brain and begin to affect cognitive functioning, memory centers and create mood disorders.   Beside cytokines, immune cells produce massive oxidative factors, these factors are released to kill the organisms and as a side-effect you get the blast of the oxidation that injures your cell membranes.   This injury reduces the cells to function correctly, thus you cannot produce vital hormones, neurotransmitters and a host of other vital factors.

In fact most of the forum participants who are experiencing a difficult infection all have hormonal issues and detoxification problems.  Yes it is true that hormonal imbalance causes neurological problems in spite of the medical system fighting                                                               against this idea for decades (I am thinking of menopausal women who were thrown benzodiazapines amid the doctor who ignored their cries).

Adrenal activity is always an issue with chronic infections and become dysregulated as well.  Adrenal fatigue is an up and coming idea but has been chronicled in medical literature for decades.  Adrenals are activated to push the metabolism up in order to bring more soldiers to the fight, they act like afterburners in a jet.   If pushed for too long they become weakened and with this the  downward cycle occurs in the body's systems.   Thankfully there are remedies for this that are based on nutritionals and I have an extensive article about this on this blog.


The adrenals throw powerful hormones and steroids into the bloodstream that affect brain activity.   For instance cortisol is pumped and with cortisol comes mood disorders.   And thisis just one of the many factors that adrenals produce.

With increased adrenal activity comes greater losses of vital nutrients including magnesium which is sadly overlooked.  Magnesium will save your life conversely magnesium deficiency can kill you (increased risk of cardiovascular, immune defects and metabolism defects)   Stress kills and if you don't remedy the side-effects (increased loss of nutrients) then it will do serious damage to you.   Antioxidants play key roles in modulating the bad effects of stress and should not be overlooked.


So this may be in your head but not as a behavioral, emotional or mental issue but simply as a biological issue, because there are other things occurring in your body that the medical system overlooks.   Dig a bit deeper and try to find the root cause.

As a side note, I am a big fan of mineral testing via the hair and personally recommend Trace Elements Inc.   Other good information can be found by researching Orthomolecular Medicine,  Dr. Pfieffer (Carl) of the Brain Bio Center wrote many informative articles.  Abram Hoffer, M.D. was another outstanding researcher, you can find his work here.  http://www.orthomolecularvitamincentre.com/a_hoffer_schizophrenia.php
