Beyond Willpower: Did you know that most self-help programs have a 97% failure rate? The typical personal improvement system, based on tapping into your willpower and using the power of positive thinking is actually a recipe for failure. In Beyond Willpower, you will learn a highly effective program to help you finally achieve the life you want and the success you deserve.

Science has proven that stress (or internal fear) is the primary source of virtually any problem we encounter – physical, spiritual, emotional and even circumstantial. This book teaches you how to change your cellular programming from fear to love, triggering a natural chemical chain reaction that fuels your best success.

Rooted in science, ancient wisdom and proven therapeutic techniques to remove personal obstacles that sabotage us, Beyond Willpower offers a revolutionary 40-day holistic program based on more than 25 years of clinical experience. Beyond Willpower will help you achieve – once and for all...quickly and for the long term.

Truly Alive, formerly Living Naturally Magazine is New Mexico’s holistic magazine & resource guide—created for those interested in natural, healthy, and spiritual ways of living. Serving the progressive, alternative health, spiritual communities since 1990, Truly Alive endeavors to help readers discover a healthy, natural approach and creative solutions to their individual life needs. Each issue is filled with articles by leading holistic doctors and practitioners, and spiritual ambassadors, providing the most up-to-date and comprehensive guide to achieving a healing lifestyle for body, mind, spirit and the planet.

Truly Alive, formerly Living Naturally Magazine, has been published in New Mexico since 1990 and currently prints 18,000-22,000 copies every two months.

The July/August 2015 issue includes several o� erings from some powerful new advertisers. I hope you enjoy reading

them. � e book on the cover of this issue, Beyond Willpower, From Stress to Success in 40 Days has amazing potential to change lives forever. It takes

what we know about the subconscious/unconscious mind and o� ers time-tested methods for changing our programming when everything else has failed. If you read the book and do the protocols for 40 days (even just what’s o� ered in the � rst chapter as the author Alexander Loyd suggests in the interview), I would love to hear about your results. Please call me at 505-828-3430 or email: [email protected].

� is issue also includes a couple of articles from me. Over time, I have had requests for both services: (1) to o� er my writing skills to business owners who struggle with writing and (2) to include a section on my website where members of our community with events can post � yers with links, at a nominal cost. If either of these subjects interest you, please read more about them in this issue.

Wherever you are in your life’s journey, I hope that you are getting the support you need to move forward, knowing that whatever life looks like right now, that this too, will pass…and that new adventures are unfolding, even if you cannot see them clearly yet. It’s true for all of us. Nothing stays the same. Nothing. Which way a thing expresses itself is up to us. May you be able to focus more and more on what you choose and less and less on what you don’t. It is my belief that controlling my thoughts in this way helps me to experience more of what I choose in life. It has been said, that “whatever we focus on expands.”

I love this statement from Hay House:

Deep inside you there is a blueprint for thriving. And there are also soul choices at work. We are not sitting ducks for every germ that comes along. And we have far more resilience than we think we do. Our thoughts and beliefs are the most powerful healers available to us. And to be truly powerful, these thoughts need to be aligned with Divine Order. Tune in and � nd out how this works in daily life: http://hayhouseradio.com/#!/show/� ourish.

T ruly Alive has been in print for 25 years now and as an online magazine since 2012; readers o� en tell me that they use Truly Alive as a local Resource Guide.

Over the years, I’ve had numerous requests to post full-sized event � yers on my website. Up until now, the format included a text-only format with a single image and links. To respond to the demand, the Truly Alive website now o� ers a page called “Local Upcoming Events.” When you click on that button on my sidebar, you’ll see four images at a time.

Irecently attended the London Mind, Body, Spirit Wellbeing Expo in England. I met many people who had come to the expo to get clarity, guidance, and/or healing in their

life. � ere were thousands and thousands of attendees and only about 160 vendors. � ere was no way 160 exhibitors could help or assist all of the people who showed up. I realized that this is true outside of the expo--millions and millions of people are looking for ways to live a meaningful life and have better health and wellness. But who is showing up to help them? Is there truly enough support for everyone? � e answer Spirit gave me was this: Yes there’s enough support if everyone shows up.

Many people say to me that they want to impact the world in a positive way and provide greater healing to others. Very few of these people are bold enough to take a step in that direction. Instead they let fear and doubt convince them to stay small and play it safe. Instead of taking actions, they keep waiting for “a sign” or for the “right time” which never comes.

My time at the expo showed me very clearly that every moment we spend in hiding or that we don’t take an action toward our true desire is a moment where we miss an opportunity to help someone. � e more time that we spend thinking about what we should do instead of actually doing it, we keep greater miracles from manifesting in the world. When we ‘show up’ and do our true work, what our soul calls us to do, we empower everyone around us.

I invite you to look at your desires and goals. Where are you still not taking action to reach your dream? Why is that the case? Where are you choosing fear over miracles? Are you willing to show up?

Human Whisperer By Stephen P. Weiss, M.D., P.A.

Over the years I have shared with you some of the gems of Classical Ho-meopathy, which makes it such a

powerful and beautiful healing art. It is a cliché in Holistic/Integrative Medicine to say we treat the person, not the dis-ease. What does it really mean to treat the person?

� e entire discipline of Classical Homeopathy is cen-tered around this premise. No other healing modality on the planet comes close to tailoring a treatment for each and every individual. You have undoubtedly heard the expres-sion “All is One”. It is a deep, abiding Truth at the core of spirituality and Eastern Religion (I can feel my heart open as I write these words down. Contemplate them yourself, and see how they a� ect you). One of the great paradoxes of this existence in human form is that we are at once eter-nal, spiritual and intimately connected to All � at Is, and supremely individual at the same time. Classical Homeo-pathic remedies address both of these aspects of ourselves.

During a homeopathic consultation, I spend 1-2 hours � nding out in exquisite detail who you are and what makes you tick: your triumphs and tragedies, idiosyncrasies, fears and aspirations, as well as the uniqueness of your physi-cal complaints. � en, with the help of a very sophisticated, state-of-the-art computer program, and over 20 years of ex-perience, I search for the simillimum, the single, potentized remedy derived from Nature which best matches you on all levels. � is process is challenging, because there are literally

thousands of homeopathic remedies to choose from, and sometimes the magic bullet eludes me. However, when the whole is treated with exactly what it needs to restore homeo-stasis and balance, all of the diseased parts, which appear to be completely unrelated, synchronize and harmonize, and a whole new level of health is achieved. Your entire Being vibrates at a Higher Octave.

Some homeopathic remedies are time-tested for be-ing able to help conditions resulting from certain inciting events. � ere are remedies for illnesses which start a� er exposure to cold wind, those which develop a� er embar-rassment (“morti� cation” in homeopathic lingo), night watching (caring for a sick loved one accompanied by loss of sleep), a� er loss of � uids (bleeding, vomiting diarrhea, profuse sweating), grief and so many more. If a person’s health has drastically changed due to a particular life situ-ation, this can help point to the remedy which will catalyze profound healing.

Nancy is a delightful 54-year old woman who � rst con-sulted me the week before Christmas, 2012. She was utterly exhausted and had spent almost all of her time in bed the previous 3 months. In September she developed profuse vag-inal bleeding that wouldn’t stop. Her GYN gave her Provera, but it didn’t help. On 9/7/12, she fainted twice and was un-able to stand. She was rushed to the Emergency Room where they con� rmed profound anemia (Hemoglobin 8.1), and she was transfused 4 units (2 ½ pints) of blood. At this point while recounting her ordeal, Nancy began to weep. “It was the weekend, and the gynecologist on-call was consulted, but never came in. � ey couldn’t stop the bleeding. I was resigned to die in the Emergency Room.” Finally, another GYN was summoned, and this one did show up. A uter-ine ablation (cauterization of the lining of the uterus) was performed, and the bleeding stopped. Ultrasound revealed a large, 9cm � broid, and endometrial curettage (scraping) showed atypical cells suspicious for low grade uterine cancer. She was told she needed a hysterectomy, but had not sched-uled the surgery because she was so exhausted she didn’t believe she would make it through alive. In addition to the exhaustion, Nancy was also su� ering from constant tinnitus and insomnia since the onset of her uterine hemorrhage.

I prescribed China 6C, 5 drops 3 times a day, which is indicated for exhaustion from loss of � uids. On day 2 af-ter starting China, Nancy reported the following: “Slept like a baby last night, 11 hours of really deep sleep. Feeling more relaxed, less muscle tension.” Day 8: “My energy has

improved dramatically. I’m up to 70% of optimal. So much better!” At her 2 month follow up, Nancy shared the follow-ing: “My energy is up to 90% of optimal. I’m very active, running errands. I feel REALLY good, very busy. Sleeping through the night.”

Nancy had a hysterectomy and sailed through the sur-gery. Her health remained excellent for over 2 years, and I didn’t see her for 15 months. On 4/23/15 she returned to my o� ce with a recurrence of the debilitating fatigue, which started one month prior. � is time the bleeding wasn’t phys-ical—Nancy had a bleeding heart. She and her husband were having severe marital problems, the house was up for sale, and she was ready to get a divorce. She was feeling helpless and hopeless. “Our marriage was heavenly the � rst 6 years. Now my heart is racing, my whole body feels tight and tense, I have headaches, and I’m clenching my teeth. I feel numbed out; I spend all day in bed except for appointments.”

I prescribed a single dose of Phosphoric Acid 1M, a rem-edy that � t her to a T. Here are the keynote symptoms the remedy treats: Depressed, apathetic patients. Ailments from grief or disappointed love. Collapse states/exhaustion from grief, illness, drug or alcohol abuse. 4 days later she called saying her headache was gone, she felt more relaxed but she still couldn’t get out of bed. I instructed her to take a second dose of Phosphoric Acid. Within 24 hours, her energy sky-rocketed. She got out of bed and resumed her usual activi-ties. 13 days later she � ew to Europe and had the time of her life. Her energy was amazing—she danced up a storm, spent time with family and friends. “It’s a miracle!” she exclaimed.

Symptoms are simply signposts of a deeper, underlying imbalance. A good homeopath is a human whisperer who pays utmost attention to everything about you in order to discover the core imbalance. Once uncovered, and matched with the most appropriate homeopathic remedy, health and lives are restored.

“I was in bed for 3 months from September 13 through December 18. I could barely walk to the living room. My transformation is AMAZING! I’m SO grateful! I can go all day now. I can keep up with my husband whose energy is 150% of everyone else. � e tinnitus is gone! It’s been gone for a month. Memory and mental function are back to normal. I’m super happy—I have a life again!”

Establishing and Maintaining Healthy Brain Function: The Increasing Significance of Environmental Medicine By Pamela Costello, MD, PhD, Holistic Neurosurgeon, Neuroscientist

As a medical doctor and neuroscientist specializing in environmental medicine, I diagnose and treat the underlying base causes of neuroin� ammatory dis-

eases. If le� untreated, the natural progression of neuroin� am-matory disease results in neurodegenerative disease, and most neurodegenerative disease is without potential cure by tradi-tional medicine. Furthermore, when pharmaceutical agents are used in an attempt to slow the disease process, the side e� ects of those agents can be substantial, as these drugs are not removing or reversing the true underlying cause of the illness. However, when the root causes, such as neurotoxins and low grade infec-tions, are identi� ed and addressed, the neuroin� ammatory pro-cesses can be reversed.

Environmental neurotoxins include substances that enter the body beginning at conception, crossing the placenta, with continued exposure throughout our lives via contaminated air, water, food substances, dental amalgams, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, perfumes and hygiene products, as well as insecticides, herbicides, fungicides, etc. � ese acquired toxins create an in� ammatory response in the nervous tissues, as well as potentially cause cell death. As our environment becomes

increasingly saturated with these toxins, so do our nervous and immune systems. An environmental medicine approach addresses the basis of illness by identifying these root causes, including both historical and potential ongoing exposures.

Although increasing numbers of Americans are becoming aware of the concept of environmental medicine, standard medicine (which is largely run on a pharmaceutical driven “pill for a disease” model), lags slowly behind. While allopathic medicines and surgeries provide life-saving intervention in the acute or emergency setting, they are far less appropriate in managing chronic disease or in preventing disease. � e rise of environmental toxins has become stratospheric, thus mandating a dramatic refocusing of our healthcare system’s attention, as well as that of the public. � is awareness is necessary in order to o� er any hope to curb the epidemic rise in neuroin� ammatory illness, and provide e� ective curative treatment to those already a� icted.

As the burden of industrial, man-made toxins accumulates in our air, soil, and water, so do they also accumulate in our nervous and immune systems. A� er generations of toxins saturating our environment, we now are faced with the problem of toxic saturation in ourselves, through the process of bioaccumulation. Furthermore, while many are aware of the causes of acute poisoning, very little of current healthcare deals with bioaccumulation, or the chronic storage or accumulation of toxins in our brains, nervous tissue, immune tissue, bone marrow, organs and other body tissues. Such accumulation results in in� ammation and malfunctioning of the cells, glands, and organ systems.

Fortunately, awareness of and general knowledge about hazardous substances in our environment and surroundings is increasing. Numerous risks are continuously reduced by law, certainly through � e Clean Air and Water acts, as well as the World Ban on Mercury. Although we might expect people to get increasingly healthier, more and more symptoms are manifesting and, unfortunately, with technological progress, new chemical substances keep entering into our environment and are considered absolutely harmless, until proven otherwise.

� e good news is that environmental medicine is concerned with the causes and e� ects this environmental impact has on human health. Beginning with a thorough examination and investigation, treatment then follows, which entails both removing further exposures, as well as beginning the healing process by safely clearing the body of the absorbed toxins. � e detoxi� cation process stimulates the kidneys, liver, lymphatic system, and administers herbal substances and antioxidants to absorb and discharge these toxins.

Mercury Fillings Are Decimating the Environment

Bill Wolfe D.D.S.

Did you know that dentist o� ces are the largest source of mercury in wastewater entering publicly owned treatment works? Once there, dental mercury converts

to methylmercury, a highly toxic form of mercury known to be hazardous to brain and nervous system function, particularly in fetuses and young children.

Only about a dozen states require dentists to use an amalgam separator, a wastewater treatment device installed at the source, in the dental o� ce, that removes 95-99 percent of the mercury in the wastewater.

In 2010, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced it would create a rule requiring all dentists who use dental amalgam to install amalgam separators. � e EPA said the regulation would be � nalized by 2012, but earlier this year they announced they may be withdrawing the proposal . Abandoning the long-promised separator rule would be a horrid decision, especially when the EPA acknowledges that there are approximately 160,000 dentists who use or remove amalgam in the US, and discharge their wastewater to publicly owned treatment works.

Dentist O� ces Create 3.7 Tons of Mercury Waste a Year Dental amalgam, a tooth � lling material that is at least 50

percent mercury, is the leading intentional use of mercury in the US. Whether a dentist places mercury / amalgam � llings or not, in the removal process of the mercury � llings, amalgam waste gets � ushed down the drain, unless dentists install and properly maintain amalgam separators.

Dental amalgam is a considerable source of environmental mercury pollution. Several studies show that about 50 percent of the mercury entering municipal wastewater treatment plants can be traced back to dental amalgam waste. � is mercury waste amounts to about 3.7 TONS each year! An estimated 90 percent is captured by the treatment plants generally via sewage sludge, some of which ends up in land� lls, while other portions are incinerated (thereby polluting the air) or applied as agricultural fertilizer (polluting your food), or seep into waterways (polluting � sh and waterways).

It’s time that the FDA and the dental schools in charge of educating young dentists start acknowledging the dangers of mercury � llings for humans and for the environment. In addition to the widespread environmental pollution, there is overwhelming evidence showing mercury is easily released in the form of vapor each time you eat, drink, brush your teeth, or otherwise stimulate your teeth. � ese mercury vapors readily pass through your cell membranes, across your blood-brain barrier, and into your central nervous system, where they can cause psychological, neurological, and immunological problems.

In order to protect human health and the environment, mercury should be phased out as soon, and as quickly, as possible. � e Minamata Convention on Mercury, requires the phasing out of many mercury-containing products, including thermometers,

by 2020, and also calls for an end to all mercury mining within 15 years. It also includes a mandatory phase down of amalgam use. � e treaty takes e� ect only a� er its rati� cation by 50 nations, which can take three or four years. Instead of working for the phase-down and ultimate phase-out of amalgam use, the FDA and the American Dental Association (ADA) are pushing stalling tactics to delay the demise of mercury � llings.

No more research is needed before we take action – the many e� ective, a� ordable, and available mercury-free alternatives have already been researched for over half a century, and we certainly don’t need any more research telling us that mercury is a problem. � e realistic solution to waste management, of course, is to stop creating more mercury waste. Stop using amalgam.

“Iwent in for my mammogram and they want me to come back for another one. � ey say I have dense breasts and they need another mammogram. Mam-

mograms are painful and I don’t want the radiation exposure. What can I do?” We hear this from patients almost every day and they are frustrated and confused.

Dense breast tissue has more connective tissue and is less fatty. It appears white on a mammogram. Fatty tissue usually appears gray or black. Cancer also appears white on a mammogram and this makes it di� cult for the radiologist reading the mammogram to distinguish tumors from normally dense breast tissue; both are white. Doctors have been quoted as saying “It is like looking for a snowball in a snowstorm or like looking for a polar bear on an ice cap,” everything appears white. Dense breasts are totally normal and very common; especially in younger women, although many older women have dense breast tissue too. According to the Mayo Clinic, about half of the women who have mammograms; have dense breasts. � at is half of the women who have mammograms. � ere are many more women with dense breast tissue that avoid mammograms entirely.

If you are a woman with dense breast tissue and doing repeat mammograms is scary, then thermographic breast screening can help you. � ermographic screening is totally painless (no compression) and it is completely radiation free. It looks for in� ammation (early disease) which occurs before calci� cation (late disease and what mammograms look for).

When you come in for your thermography scan, six images are taken of the breast region (front, sides, underarms and upper chest). If you are interested in imaging other areas of the body, more images of the head, back, abdomen and limbs are taken. � ermography records the heat from the body in a color scale that uses 16 di� erent colors. Warmer temperatures are imaged with reds and yellows, while cooler temperatures are shown in greens and blues. 505-271-6608, www.� ermographyNM.com.

Issues Melt Away, Lives Are Permanently Changed By Jaymini Hasham, BSN, RN-BC

If you are one of those people who have tried many techniques, methods and treatments, read numerous books, attended a myriad of workshops

and more, all designed to increase your abundance or health, heal emotions, attract the ideal relationship, etc., only to be in pretty much the same place you have been, this article is for you!

As a registered nurse working in hospitals by profession, my desire to help and comfort is met. However, the Energy Healing methods I am now utilizing with private clients over� ow my heart with gratitude and o� en blow me away. Miracles are happening every day.

In my experience, behind every physical disease or emotional issue – essentially any problem in life are hiding limiting beliefs (ex: not feeling worthy as so many of us do. Bruce Lipton has pioneered the work showing the subconscious/unconscious minds operate us 95% of the time or more). � ese beliefs can manifest in being overweight, feeling stuck in a job you hate, not feeling loved, etc. Ultimately, we are whole; just clouded by the beliefs we took on (usually very early in life). Once our limiting beliefs are cleared, we can live from a di� erent perspective…one that represents the life of our dreams.

Here is what a few of my clients had to say:An MRI had revealed a mass on my liver and I was scheduled for a biopsy. During the session, I felt a lot of warmth in the area of my liver. I had been anxious and scared before our session, but a� erwards, I felt calm and peaceful, like everything was going to be alright. A few weeks a� er my session, I went in for the biopsy. � e doctors couldn’t � nd the mass, which had been so clearly apparent on the MRI! I am so very grateful to Jaymini for the amazing ways in which she helps people!

V.S., ABQ

Clarity, peace, joy, abundance, healing, love... � ese words only begin to describe what a person experiences during a session with Jaymini. I cannot truly and wholly � nd a way to express my gratitude for her light work in my life! Reader, just know that if you have been led to her article, it is divine guidance and I encourage you to take a leap of faith. Your life will change for the better! Jaymini is a healer in every sense of the word! C.B., Germany

Working with Jaymini, I have seen and felt the positive guidance from a higher spirit, when needed most. � ank you for your journey, Jaymini and the continued positive healing you facilitate and encourage. I am a believer.

A Good Night’s Rest After 20 Years By David L. Crettol, MA, LMT #7258

Many of us have experienced the occasional sleepless night due to a sore back. But what about 20 years of it? How might it feel to not be able

to � nd that wonderful sweet spot where we are embraced by comfortable sleep for all that time? Here is another true story about what Frequency Speci� c Microcurrent was able to do for one man’s sore back:

Open-minded friends interested in the microcurrent treatment concept volunteered to be treated. One was a family friend who arrived for treatment of his back. He was skeptical, but was willing to try this new treatment. Twenty years prior, he had fallen o� a ladder and landed � at on his back - creating a massive bruise the length of his trunk. His back was still sore and tender to the touch 20 years a� er the injury and he wanted to see if it could be changed. � e muscles in his back felt sti� , hardened and almost crunchy as the adhesive electrode pads were applied on the four corners of his torso. Microcurrent and the frequencies on Van Gilder’s (one of the pioneers of Microcurrent), list for reducing � brosis, “deep old bruises” and “mineral deposits” were used on the injured tissue. Much to our surprise, the pain disappeared and the tissue became so� , non-tender and pliable in 30 minutes…providing a glimmer of what was to come.

One can only imagine just how wonderful that � rst night’s sleep was a� er 20 years back pain.

Almost everyone has experienced it at least once. In the past, treatment of low back pain focused on releasing Myofascial Trigger Points (MTrPs) in the

thoracolumbar region, gluteals, abdominals and iliopsoas (the muscle that attaches to the anterior lumbar spine). For the majority of people, this would completely alleviate their low back pain.

But, some people continued to experience mild to moderate low back pain which they managed with their Home Exercise Program and keeping correct posture while sitting, standing and sleeping. It frustrated me when I did not know the key missing piece of the pain puzzle to relieve a healthy, active person’s low back pain. New research shows that fascia has a lot to do with ongoing, chronic low back pain.

Robert Schleip, PhD, Rolfer, Ulm University, Germany, shows in his new fascia research video, a man with chronic (three months or more) low back pain. With ultrasound, one can see that his low back fascia has become sti� er and thicker than the average person’s. Dr. Schleip is shown palpating the man’s back and explaining that he can feel increased thickness of the fascia over the area of the low back pain. He then treats this area manually using his elbow. He also teaches the man how to treat his own low back fascia by lying on a ball to apply pressure to the area of pain and gives him an exercise to do at home.

Now I know that in the case of chronic low back pain, I need to continue releasing the thick fascia densi� cation, Fascia Point, multiple times to completely release it and allow the fascia to stretch completely to its full normal length.

To my previous patients: come back and we’ll � nish the treatment to completely relieve your low back pain. To my new patients: we now have all the pieces of the puzzle to completely relieve your low back pain.

To Vitamin, or NOT to Vitamin…That is the Question By Colleen von Kittel

Read more articles about William K. Summers online: www.trulyalive.net

Vitamins are again under attack. Yet vitamins are a core component of Memory reVITALIZER® and Life Imagined®. Why?

Ancient Egyptians knew of special food factors, now called vitamins. � ey prescribed liver to cure night blindness. Yet it took thousands of years to discover the thirteen organic substances that are essential in minute amounts for normal growth and activity of living organisms, such as us humans.

� ese discoveries took place between 1910 and 1941 and led to 4 Nobel Prizes. � e fame of vitamins grew in the 20th century among the health conscious. Today, 20-30% of Americans use a daily multivitamin. It is a $23 billion a year segment of the economy.

Nothing draws negative attention more than success. � e assault on our vitamins by the FDA began in the 1980’s. Fortunately, they were opposed by the Gay Community with the AIDS crisis and by the Alternative Cancer Treatment Community. � is resulted in the 1994 Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act [DSHEA]. � is pivotal law commands the FDA to keep their hands o� of our vitamins. Without DSHEA, doubtless our vitamin C would cost $300 a month...as many prescription drugs do.

But the tactics of the vitamin naysayers have changed. Negative research on vitamins are o� en funded by European medical institutes. � ey claim “no bias” in these studies. Yet, their negative results allow their governments to restrict alternative health and not pay for supplements for their citizens. Examination of these studies reveal � awed protocols. � e negative outcome is certain before the study is started.

In 2007, a Journal of the American Medical Association article ‘with 232,606 participants’ claimed that most vitamins increase mortality. Examination of the report reveals serious design � aws. � is actually was lumping 385 studies in computer modeled data together with wildly di� erent methods. It was comparing Apples to Aardvarks. � e gas Xenon to Zebras.

Basic vitamin research (animal and test tube) consistently con� rm the safety and health bene� ts. � is is why vitamins, especially antioxidant vitamins, were chosen for the formulation of Memory reVITALIZER® and Life Imagined®. So YES. DO TAKE YOUR VITAMINS.

Recall that Memory reVITALIZER® and Life Imagined® have representatives of each of the � ve classes of antioxidants. Of the thirteen, vitamins A (Beta-carotene), C, and E are known as antioxidants. But the story does not stop there.

Vitamin A is not an antioxidant, but its precursor (Beta-carotene) is. Vitamin C is not just a whole body antioxidant, but it also acts as a preservative within the formulation. In the capsule, vitamin C regenerates vitamin E, alpha-lipoic acid, phosphatidylcholine, and phosphatidylserine. In the body, a principal role of vitamin C is to ‘regenerate uric acid’ the main antioxidant made by the body. Vitamin E in most multivitamins

comes as d-Alpha tocopherol. But in nature, there are eight forms of vitamin E. When only one of these eight is in a formulation, the imbalance might have negative e� ects. Perhaps this contributed to why high dose vitamin E (d-Alpha tocopherol) did not help Alzheimer’s patients. In Memory reVITALIZER® and Life Imagined®, care is taken to include most of the eight forms of vitamin E for balance.

What about the other vitamins in Memory reVITALIZER® and Life Imagined®?

Is the Combination of Supplements andMedications You Are Taking Right For You?By Melissa Parra, CFNP

When I request my patients bring in their medications, vitamins and supplements rather than a list, it surprises me how most people don’t

know what they are taking and why. � ere are so many brands, dosages, additives and di� erences in active ingredients that I � nd it bene� cial to take the time to examine them carefully.

Recently, I had 3 di� erent patients bring in a slew of vitamins and supplements. It took me 45 minutes for each patient to explain to them what they were taking. One client was taking 70 supplements a day and many of them were redundant. I found 9 di� erent adrenal supplements, 6 for the liver and others which basically did the same thing. He is Diabetic with Chronic Kidney Disease. His liver enzymes were elevated and renal function was down. By decreasing his herbs and supplements by 75%, his liver enzymes lowered and his renal function improved in just 3 months. He was very grateful to have the help as many of his friends and family had kept adding to his pile.

Another patient brought in a box of 52 supplements. She heard a doctor on TV say they were good. She also liked the sale she saw at Walgreens for St. John’s Wort and bought it as the sign claimed it would make her feel better. � e patient denied any depression or anxiety which is what this herbal remedy is mostly used for. Additionally, her daily dosage of Zinc exceeded 300mg which can cause immune suppression in doses over 100mg. Her Vitamin D level was also 125 and I found her to be on several vitamins and calcium supplements for her bones with Vitamin D included. I explained to her that “more is not better” and we adjusted her regimen.

My patient with Atrial Fibrillation (a common heart condition) has been on Coumadin for 2 years. � is drug is used to thin the blood so clots don’t form and cause a stroke.

His lab values (INR) had been erratic and di� cult to regulate for over 6 months. I found 3 di� erent herbs and vitamins that interacted with his Coumadin. We made some changes in his diet as well and now his INR levels have been stable. I explained to him that interactions with blood thinning medications can be dangerous!

My athletic/body building clientele work extremely hard with diet and exercise and take several supplements to enhance their workout and recovery. A recent champion body builder had his labs drawn and came to me for evaluation. He was ingesting over 350 grams of protein in his diet with

3 protein shakes a day and red meat 5 times a day. Recently he had a painful � are of gout and kidney stones with a high uric acid level and borderline kidney function. I counseled him to decrease protein in his diet and made a few changes to his vitamin/supplement routine. Within a few weeks, his � are

was gone and his lab values normalized without Western medications and he was able to compete.

� ere are di� erent brands, strengths and dosages of the same supplements and they can vary a lot. When an herbal supplement says standardized extract on the label, it will have been tested in the lab to have the adequate ingredient which is close to pharmaceutical grade - not just the herb ground up and put in a capsule. As an experienced Herbalist, I know that some herbs are better used as teas or in tincture form. Many medications may need to be compounded (by a compounding pharmacy) or used topically. When prescribing Bio-Identical Hormones, most people can achieve great results with low to average doses.

� e bottom line is that not all supplements, herbal remedies and vitamins are created equal. At our clinic, we provide the best quality for a reasonable price. Dr. Weiss and I are always exploring which supplements work best for our patients and what the current research reveals.

Supplement-drug interactions may be serious and poten-tially life-threatening. Don’t take unnecessary risks. Schedule an appointment with me today to make sure you are on the best and safest regimen. You may be surprised with what you learn and might save some money too!

calcium loss• All red blood cells (oxygen carriers) and white blood cells

(infection � ghters) are created in the bones • 40 million people in the U.S. su� er from osteoporosis or

are at immediate risk• 50% of women and 20% of men (50+) will fracture a bone

and 80% of these fractures are caused by osteoporosis

A� er 6 months using this process, I have seen patient’s bone density scans showing a remarkable 7% improvement.

Dr. Alex Loyd, best-selling author of � e Healing Code and cre-ator of � e Healing

Codes, � e Success Codes, the Relation-ship Codes and � e Master Key brings his energy and best tools to create the life of your dreams in Beyond Willpower, his most powerful work to date.

Stanford University Medical School and numerous health experts say the number one killer on the planet is stress. Most physical and nonphysical health problems have long-term stress as their origin. � e CDC also estimates that 80% of all health care dollars are spent on illnesses related to stress.

Bruce Lipton explains that if the body stays in a state of stress long enough, illness and disease are likely to follow. � is is the process that creates 95% of all disease and illness. Dr. Lipton goes on to show the reason we are getting sicker as a population.

In Beyond Willpower the key to reducing stress in the body is to activate the 4 healing centers at the root of all energy processes. � e healing centers appear to be like a hidden fuse box that, when the correct switches are � ipped back on, will allow healing of almost anything. By removing stress from the body, it allows the neuro-immune system to take over its job of healing whatever is wrong in the body.

� e techniques o� ered activate the 4 healing centers at the root of all energy processes. A key point to remember is that our bodies are designed to maintain

optimal health! Every time we have any health issue, we should be asking ourselves, “What stress is causing this and how can I eliminate it?”

� e Success Codes help heal the blockages that are preventing your success and help to infuse you with new and positive beliefs about success. � ey give you a roadmap to follow on your journey to Success.

� e Relationship Codes identify and uncover the deep emotions and beliefs keeping you from lasting healthy relationships with yourself, God and others. � e codes take you through a journey of 22 di� erent aspects of relationships. � ey help you heal them and teach you that relationships are crucial to your long term success, health, and happiness.

� e Master Key is a unique tech-nology. Science has proven that speci� c words, sounds and images can heal your body from the inside out (but only if they can penetrate your subconscious using a certain new technological breakthrough, provided to you through the Master Key.

Truly Alive: Please tell my readers why you were compelled to write Beyond Willpower.Alexander Loyd: ”Compelled” is the correct word for it! � e understandings I talk about in my book saved my life 27 and a half years ago. When that happens, a person feels a responsibility to help other people who struggle with things in the same way however; when I took

these understandings into my counseling practice and told my clients “� is is what you need to do”—nobody could do it! � at’s why it took 27 years to write this book. I found that just “deciding” that “this is what I want to do”, has no correlation with actually being able to do it. � at meant I had to perform research, to � nd processes and tools and diagnostics. I looked at why you should even consider this, to what problems it will address, to the practicality of how it can be done so that you can put “bolt A into slot B”—and if you do the work, you get the results. TA: Please describe the focus of the book, as it relates to external and internal results.AL: External things include money, accomplishment, career; even relationships—at least as far as the observing person is concerned. Internal is your spirit, your soul, your internal thoughts and feelings—unconscious andconscious. If you look at polls, going back 75 to 100 years, and ask people what they want most—the most common answer is—happiness. In my book, I ask that question in a di� erent way: what would you wish for? � e answer I’ve gotten to that question over 99% of the time for the last 25 years, is an external. It’s money, it’s health, it’s achievement. It’s not happiness. � is happens because people believe that in order to have the internal feeling they really want most—happiness, joy, love, peace, etc.—they have to get some particular external situation that will purchase that for them. � is is one of the

oldest lies on planet Earth.Dr. Dan Gilbert, a professor at Harvard, wrote a book called Stumbling into Happiness. � e conclusion of his research is “Expectations are a happiness killer”, because the instant you have a goal with expectations attached to it, this puts you into chronic stress. If you are already in stress, it spikes your stress for as long as you have that goal, which for a lot of people is years, decades or even their entire adult life. � e stress almost invariably makes you unhappy. In addition, the research of Bruce Lipton demonstrates that trying to achieve things that you haven’t been able to achieve before, by willpower alone—without reprogramming your subconscious mind � rst—is a million to one proposition.TA: Why is willpower not an e� ective tool for attaining our goals?AL: Professor William Tiller from Stan-ford said to me once, “People everywhere are talking about the power of conscious intention. � at is understandable, be-cause conscious intention is very impor-tant and critical. But, what you almost never hear anybody talking about is un-conscious intention. And if your con-scious intention and your unconscious in-tention con� ict, which they do every single day for every one of us about something — the unconscious will win every time.”Your unconscious intention is more than a million times more powerful than your conscious intention. If you have a belief in your unconscious mind — a belief that you probably don’t even know you have – that says, “Alex is not going to have a wonderful happy intimate relationship” or, “People are not going to like Alex be-cause he’s not tall enough, he’s not hand-some enough, he’s not outgoing enough,

he’s not some-thing enough” — and you still make every ef-fort to do those things by will-power alone, you’ll never get there.TA: What are “generational memories” and how do they

a� ect our health and well-being? AL: I had one client who experienced anxiety, sadness, depression and fear that something bad was going to happen all the time every day. Nothing could shake it. She tried all the medications, natural herbs and minerals, she tried energy medicine. She tried everything, and nothing would touch it. It was a mystery because she had an above-average childhood and upbringing with no big traumas that she could remember. We found out later that one of her ancestors who lived during the Civil War had witnessed her husband and children slaughtered by the opposing side, right in front of her eyes, and the ancestor’s house burned to the ground...everything they had ever owned, and all the animals were killed or stolen. � is ancestor was the only one le� alive, alone with ashes and dead bodies.I worked with my client, and we dealt with that memory and nothing else.In a matter of weeks everything healed. My client felt like she’d never felt — no anxiety, no depression, and she was not feeling like bad things were going to happen!� ese memories are passed down just like genes are. In fact a research article came out in the last year where it was con� rmed that memories — especially trauma memories — are passed down in the sperm. Dr. Bruce Lipton from Stanford described it this way: 95% of all disease comes directly from stress. So I asked, “OK, Dr. Lipton, what’s the other 5%?” He answered, “It’s genetic.” TA: “A memory that triggers fear always goes back to a wrong interpretation of the original event.” Can you explain why this is true?AL: For example, someone experiences an event that was problematic or very traumatic at the time. Even so, that past event is not the problem now. One of my clients had been raped, three years prior to my meeting her. For three years everything in her life had been sliding into the ditch to where she didn’t want to live anymore. She had dropped down under 100 pounds and was addicted to prescription and non-prescription drugs.

She was estranged from everyone she loved and had been in counseling for 3 years, and it hadn’t done any good. When she talked to me on the phone, I asked her: “When you remember the rape, how do you feel? She immediately told me her thoughts and beliefs like she was reading a grocery list: “I feel like a piece of meat. I feel like I’m dirty in a way that can never be washed clean”, and on and on. “Which of those things are true?” I asked. She answered, “Intellectually I know that none of these beliefs are true. But even so, this has become my only reality, 24/7”.I worked with her for about 3 weeks. � e memory of the rape healed, and it ab-solutely brought her to her knees when it did. A� erwards she called me and told me that for the � rst time since she was raped, she mentally looked into the eyes of the man who raped her and felt forgiveness, pity and compassion; and thought, “What could have happened to that man, that caused him to do some-thing like that?” At that point I asked, “Have you thought anything like that be-fore?” She answered, “� e only thing that I thought before was I would like to get a shotgun and blow his head o� .” Did she still have the memory of the rape? Absolutely! In fact, she could remember it clearer than she could ever remember. What changed? Only one thing. � e interpretation. Before, the interpretation was, “Because I was raped, it means that I’m a piece of meat, I’ll never be clean, my husband could never look at me” — you � ll in the blank. � is happened even though she knew all along those beliefs weren’t true! Even so, she couldn’t change them. � e problem was not the memory.� e problem was the interpretation.

TA: What is the most e� ective way to achieve the results we want, using your methods?AL: For at least 40 days or longer, meditate and pray over the 7 principles in Chapter 1. Do not use the tools right away. Instead, read the principles and theory to answer the genie questions, and understand the repercussions of your answers to the genie questions and how those answers reveal what’s going on inside of you. Next, a� er understanding all that, simply pray and meditate over the 7 principles and do nothing else for at least 40 days. Pray or make requests of your heart: “I don’t want to live by this anymore, I don’t want to live by want or lack and external circumstances. I want to live in the present moment, in love. Please reprogram me; deprogram me from fear to love, from falsehood to truth, from darkness to light.” � ere is a really good chance that you will not need to use any of the tools, if you just continue meditating on those 7 principles for as long as it takes — 40, 80 or 120 days or until the transformational “Aha” happens to you. When it does, you will be transformed internally in your unconscious and conscious mind. � e transformation will also bleed over into your body. If, a� er a minimum of 40 days, that “Aha!” does NOT happen, then I would start using the 3 tools—the Heart Screen meditation, the reprogramming statements, and the energy

medicine, to do it manually. But also there is no wrong way to use them. Lots of people have just used one of the tools or two of them, sometimes all three. Use the tools that resonate with you, don’t do what doesn’t resonate with you, and it’ll happen.TA: Is there anything else you would like our readers to know about?AL: If you have never lived in the present, in love, in a state of grace, you don’t know what you’re missing. It is indescribable! You will never really want for anything else, once you experience that. People talk about enlightenment a lot and I believe in enlightenment; but I believe this is beyond enlightenment. I believe this is a place where very few people get to, because to get there you have to be reprogrammed. It’s a reprogramming that you can’t do by your will power, it’s almost a divine experience. But, it’s an experience that I believe is available to anybody. You could say, “Well, doc, you don’t understand how bad I’ve been or what I’ve done or how far down in the pit I am.” It doesn’t matter, you can still get there. Dr. Alexander Loyd, Ph.D., N.D., holds doctorates in psychology and naturopathic medicine and has been a psychological counselor for more than 25 years. His private practice has become one of the largest of its kind in the world, with clients in all 50 states and more than 150 countries.

Allow By Rev. Kylie Renner

Sometimes there is nothing le� to do. As in: we’ve done absolutely everything that we possibly could, and now what? � ere is nothing le� . Now, is the time to allow.

If I am honest, I will tell you I hate this part...the part where I can’t keep looking busy, keeping things in motion, � lling in the gaps, doing what needs to be done, because there is nothing le� to do. Even worrying seems unnecessary. � is is where things get real—when I can’t pretend that I’m making things happen anymore and I have to trust that a higher power is at work, which is to say, REALLY trust. When I’m busy, making it look like I’m doing stu� , allowing isn’t really necessary.

When I am busy, I can feel like I’m in control, and when I allow I have to welcome into my experience the feeling that maybe I was never actually in control, or maybe even that control wasn’t the point in the � rst place.

Allowing is one of the most di� cult spiritual lessons for many of us, because we are recovering control addicts, and because there is something so seductive about buying into the collective consciousness that we aren’t being controlling, we are simply being prepared, or responsible, or whatever lie we are telling to delude ourselves, because deeply and truly we have trust issues—major trust issues.

I think that secretly many of us � gure that the energy that created the universe and started it all in motion, that dreamed up ice cream, artichokes (which really do look like alien life forms), and sunsets, really, actually does not know what it is doing, so we better be busy, attempting to control everything, and making sure it all goes our way. Not only is this deep dark secret ridiculous, it is exhausting.

Control is exhausting because it takes so much energy, but it is also exhausting in that it eliminates possibilities. In fact, control so successfully wipes out possibilities that o� entimes we can’t even imagine that there could have been, at some hypothetical point of allowing, a di� erent outcome.

Allowing is the alternative, so needed, that opens us to possibilities and puts the control back into the power that can see a bigger picture than we can. But maybe our tendency to control taught us a few things; for example, what really doesn’t work. Perhaps it also taught us that we need to keep ourselves busy while the bigger picture is taking shape, and that it really doesn’t matter what we are keeping busy at, just as long as we know that it is really just for show. Maybe our tendency to try and control things taught us what is really important, and where our attention really needs to be, and maybe it taught us that allowing—though di� cult—is really where it’s at.

Allowing opens us up to a higher vision and creates a space in which we are able to have greater freedom in our capacity to respond to life in the way we want to. By allowing we are able to � nd the magic and unexpected blessings in di� cult situations, and we may just � nd that what seemed di� cult from our perspective in attempting to be in control, actually has a graceful and ease-� lled outcome when we allow.

� ere is great freedom available in the level of trust that is required to allow, and it is this freedom that is our birthright. Trusting that everything is unfolding as it should, and that the entire universe is conspiring for our good takes practice, but it is beautiful practice, one that opens us up to our capacity to live joy-� lled, powerful, creative lives. And if we truly trust, we are truly able to allow things to unfold with beauty and grace.

My goal as a licensed Nurse Practitioner is to help my patients actually get better, as naturally as possible, and experience an improved quality

of life. I listen deeply to my patients, spending the time that’s needed to provide the best, highest quality natural options (wherever possible) to achieve the best, most complete results.

Most western medicine practitio-ners have very little time to spend with their patients, and most frequently provide quick symptom relief (phar-maceuticals), rather than addressing underlying causes. It’s tragic when pa-tients feel better for a while, but then realize the drug side e� ects are some-times worse than the original condi-tion. Many patients then go o� their meds at this point, only to experience the return of the original condition (now even more deeply en-trenched and intense) than before the pharmaceutical Band-Aid. Or, they try di� erent medications, switching from this drug to that one in the hopes they will � nd the one that “works.” Each drug has its own side e� ects and the body is changing its chemistry each time a new drug is introduced. � is can be very hard on the body in addition to everything else.

It is important to note that when underlying issues are allowed to continue, the connected or related damage continues to progress. It is more than a nice goal or an ideal to completely resolve issues. It is VITAL to long term health and well-being.

My greatest satisfaction is when my patients completely resolve issues—especially longstanding ones. When we achieve complete resolution naturally, my heart truly sings. It’s sad to me that while medical education and training have evolved to include a bit more knowledge in the areas of nutrition, supplements and natural health options, it’s still a miniscule amount. Nurse Practitioners such as myself and Medical Doctors with a passion to treat patients naturally � rst, and wherever possible, spend years learning about natural options so that we can treat our patients naturally. � e onus is on us to research, read and study with intensity in order to provide natural services that actually heal rather than (most o� en) assuage symptoms.

While natural methods are preferred (easier on the body, safer, with true healing potential), not all conditions dictate a natural approach—even from the start. Serious conditions and those which did not respond to natural methods (or situations in which natural therapies/techniques are not

Personalized Health Care, a Lost Art By Edie Johnson, FNP-BC

practical), require standard western medical treatment. � e advantage of seeing an experienced, licensed health care professional such as myself, is that you will get the very best care, including appropriate western medical treatment if that is

in your best interest. As my patient, you will feel truly cared for, heard and understood. You will understand your options and feel empowered as you make choices.

As a provider who made the tough choice to stop taking insurance earlier this year, I am no longer restrained by the limitations of time with my patients as dictated by insurance. I have the time to truly care for you.You have my commitment... I will do everything in my power to provide you the highest, best and most appropriate care based on my 30+

years of experience and passion to heal. If you are someone who just cannot a� ord to pay privately

for natural health care (with western medical options if needed), seek out the most naturally-oriented provider covered by your insurance. As patients request more natural options from their providers, the system will change. Providers and insurance companies will have more incentive to shi� the paradigm based on patient demand.

Feeling Good and In the Flow? By Maggie Mathisen

How long has it been since you’ve felt really good and in the � ow? To me, when all of your energy is moving towards what you are trying to manifest,

without your energy holding back, this is being in the � ow. It is when your aspirations and dreams are � owing with and in the same vibration as the energy of Source. Each person has an overall vibration of harmony, but there can be points through the body and mind where a person produces a discordant vibration. � is discord or lack of harmony can happen from traumas sustained from accidents or abuse, or as a result of negative thoughts or beliefs. � e discord is perpetuated by replaying thoughts and memories of old traumas in our minds.

Illness is a result of not having cleared the disharmony and being out of balance or out of the � ow for too long. Disharmony is always a result of restricted energy which is not allowing the healing and harmonious energy of Source to penetrate the area. � e vibration of Source is what sustains and renews our bodies and minds. When an area is closed o� to Source, deterioration begins. � is is disharmony or being out of the � ow.

Almost all of us emit harmonious and disharmonious vibrations because nearly all of us have restrictions somewhere. � e sound of these vibrations is audible to me. I have been able to hear these vibrations for about 20 years now. All of our internal structures (organs, etc.) each have their own rate of vibration and their own tones. I like to think of it as a song. I scan the body and hear the tone each body part is making. � e liver will make one type of tone, the pancreas another, the lymph system another. Even the brain can have areas of discordant energy. When I hear a vibration of disharmony, I know where my attention is needed and work to clear the area of traumas and restore a harmonious vibration. I know when a session is � nished because the area we are working on and all the surrounding areas which have become a� ected by the disharmony will begin to vibrate di� erently, with its own harmony and together, with the rest of the body, creates a beautiful resonance with Source.

As the body and mind heal, there is a decrease in restrictions and pain, an increase in energy � ow (as in being in the � ow), an increase in better physical functioning, increase in health and vitality and an increase in mental clarity and wellbeing. � ese results happen because you are now being nourished and renewed with Source energy and the body can once more begin to sustain optimal functioning and wellbeing. Awesome work. Susie, ABQI am so grateful for Maggie! Her amazing work has helped me

heal at a very deep level and my life has changed for the better in so many ways! Gay, Santa Fe

I didn’t even have to tell Maggie about my childhood trauma. She picked up on it immediately and our healing session was awesome. I know this will impact my life in far reaching, unimaginable ways. Will de� nitely be back for more!

Maggie has had an awareness of the energetic make-up of the human body since she was a child, feeling that she was called on to do healings from an early age. As her gift for reading energy patterns in others increased, she began studying healing modalities in the mid 1980’s. Her journey has included study and/or certification in Swedish Massage, Structural Integration, CranioSacral Therapy, Lymphatic Drainage, Neuromuscular Therapy, Reflexology, and The Reconnection. Through meditation and study with her spiritual teachers, she has gained an awareness and understanding of planes of consciousness that facilitate her healings. 505-898-7853, , www.HealingAcrossDimensions.com

O� en “Life Happens” outside of our control and certainly not as we anticipated. When I am not hi-jacked emotionally because of my imbalances, I am

able to show up in the world in a much di� erent, healthier way.

Brainwave Optimization® has helped over 100,000 people worldwide overcome physical and mental challenges or blocks to their success. It is a safe, non-invasive tool to help individuals who wish to make a life change, ultimately from the inside-out.

Promotes Deep Relaxation: With deep relaxation (like meditation), your brain’s activity can more fully relax and let go of stuck patterns. Relaxation and meditation have long been used to help individuals achieve states of wellness/wellbeing. Brainwave Optimization is a tool to catalyze this process.

Brain Rhythms Self-Optimize: When relaxed, your brainwave activity tends to reorganize and optimize itself to reclaim your limitless possibilities. No one can comprehend the complexity and uniqueness of your individual brain. Your brain knows best how to self-optimize with Brainwave Optimization.

Your Own Unique Process: It’s entirely up to you and your unique brain. Due to stress and trauma, we all can get stuck and block our own progress. Brainwave Optimization is like a rope waiting for you to grasp and climb your way out. Everyone’s experience is completely unique and di� erent.

Dynamic Flexibility: Since life happens, we have no right to expect that we can always be in balance. Like the weather, life events – and your brain – are always in a constant state of change. � e key is to have the dynamic � exibility to deal with whatever comes your way and allow you to weather the storm.

Because Life Happens By Regina Coffman

Life WILL happen. Do you have the flexibility to stay grounded as people, places and things shift around you? I am convinced that the brain is the starting point for dynamic change. Call today for a personal assessment: 505-610-1190, www.BrainWaveBalancing.com

Glutathione IV Push By Christopher Hall

Glutathione is a very powerful antioxidant which protects our bodies from harmful toxins and helps us detoxify. An IV Push is faster than an IV Drip and can

be administered in as little as 15 minutes. Glutathione peroxidase is normally produced within each

healthy cell in the human body, however when toxins enter the body, sometimes the cells can’t produce enough. Antibiotics have been shown to decrease the normal production of glutathione within the cells. A� er a round of antibiotics, a glutathione IV can restore the normal glutathione levels within the body and can help cleanse the cells. Every IV Push is a combination glutathione with Magnesium and B-12.

Glutathione is vital to the immune system, endocrine system, cardiovascular system and more. Glutathione helps the body in many ways and more importantly it helps the brain. Memory, comprehension and clarity of thought are so important when at work that a glutathione push can really boost your potential. Many of our regular clients are businessmen and women who routinely come in for treatments before an important business meeting or presentation. We also have many students who earn higher test scores when they receive glutathione on a regular basis.

Most people don’t realize that glutathione supplements taken by mouth are mostly destroyed in our stomach acid during digestion. However, by directly infusing glutathione into the bloodstream, none is lost and it all goes directly to the areas of the body that need it most.

We o� er excellent therapies, great prices and a quali� ed, caring sta� . Our Nurse Practitioner, Registered Nurse and IV Techs are the absolute best at providing World Class � erapies/Protocols. Our therapies will change your body chemistry! We’re here for you, like no one else knows how to be.


Crystal Dove Tools for Synchronicity By Inga Madsen

Afriend recently shared with me that every time they read my articles, they always seem to go along with what the person is experiencing at the time. It was

wonderful to hear that what I’ve written has brought a little joy to someone. Some people never receive acknowledgement from others for the good things that they do, which can sometimes make them feel unappreciated.

Many people who help others put taking care of themselves last on a long list of things-to-do. � is sometimes means we ignore our inner guidance and do things that are not in our best interest. When we stop taking care of ourselves, the world around us re� ects what we’re ignoring. � is means we experience more situations that we may � nd very challenging to deal with, including being unappreciated. For this reason, it is very important to show yourself appreciation. Make the time to do what inspires you and what li� s your energy. � is may mean spending more time with friends or spending time alone, reading a book or trying a new activity. Doing little things that reenergize you will help attract more of the energy you enjoy.

Would You Like Using Natural Solutions Specifically Tested for Your Body That Really Work? By Janet L. Hall, ND, CMI, CKP

A few weeks ago I got a response from one of my clients that I would like to share with you:

”Hi Dr. Hall. � is is Charmayne. I just wanted to share some good news. Just had another mammogram and ultrasound and the benign tumor is gone! Totally gone! I’m amazed! � e Dr. said I didn’t need surgery. I am so relieved! I wanted to thank you! I am so so so so so glad I found you and that you do the work you do. � ank you! My friend Christen may also contact you for some distance work. She is amazed as well.”

[Charmayne used AWC supplements, an integrative process and essential oils uniquely tested for her body.]

No matter what health challenges you are facing, know that you are not alone. � ere are natural solutions for you as well. We at Alternative Wellness Center are here to help! It is our goal to assist each individual we serve to “rise above” any di� culties, with their health or in their life, for complete healing.

How many times have you tried something for your health —found in the media, suggested by a friend, or something

you have researched and yet the product didn’t do what you thought it would?

I hear this over and over again from my clients. � ey have spent endless dollars trying to � nd remedies for their health. � e muscle-testing (Kinesiology) at Alternative Wellness is what makes the di� erence for them and it is what di� erentiates our clinic from others.

Kinesiology for a Blood Sugar Issue: Just a few weeks ago, a women with very high blood sugar issues came in very dismayed due to having tried the “media recommended” supplementation for her problem with no results. Her medication was presenting numerous side e� ects. As she answered all my questions she stated “I’ve already tried that. I’ve even used every essential oil recommended for my condition and it didn’t make a di� erence.” I then tested her body using Kinesiology. Her body did not want supplementation but wanted an essential oil highly recommended for heart and circulation. In less than two weeks, she called me emphatically saying that her doctor had taken her o� her blood sugar medication as it was no longer necessary. Her blood sugar had regulated using the essential oil as she had not changed anything else! I love those experiences!

Kinesiology and shoulder problems/frozen shoulder:Normally you would be looking at chiropractic, physical therapy, massage and other modalities for a frozen shoulder. However, in several recent cases using Kinesiology for testing, I found that the shoulder problem was directly linked to the colon. My client had been all over to di� erent places for various therapies, but to no avail. A� er taking the colon remedy, the shoulder freed up and is now strong and has full rotation.

I am a Naturopath, Kinesiologist, Medical Intuitive, Biofeedback Specialist, and Nutritional Counselor, but would never want to be without Kinesiology! As a Naturopath, I would have been recommending what other professionals recommended, but Kinesiology takes all guesswork out of it! A� er having been in practice close to twenty years, I still marvel that the body has its own innate wisdom and if we listen to it through Kinesiology, it will give us step by step exactly what it needs to heal, when it needs it, how much and why.

If you are having di� culty with your health and need some guidance, we are here to help. We love hearing the wonderful feedback from our clients as they reach their goals!


Energy Follows Demand By Bill Haggard, All About Health

When you “think” ENERGY is going to your “brain”. When you give your body a command to move an arm, a leg, wriggle a toe, make a � st, etc., energy

follows that command. I have heard it said that “energy follows thought”. Yes, however, we don’t think about breathing, the beating of our hearts, hair and � ngernails growing, food or drink getting to its destinations, broken bones mending, wounds healing, etc. Yet energy is required for these tasks. Energy is going to � ow. If it doesn’t, you aren’t going to be able to think, move, talk, eat, drink, eliminate or live.

Most everything has a life cycle—whether it’s a seed, a human, or an animal...there is a birth followed by a timeline for life and death. � e amount of energy we have for our timeline depends on a few things. � e energy we are given at birth has a lot to do with what our parents passed on to us at conception. How healthy was the seed? How vital was the egg? What preparation was made prior to conception to make sure everything humanly possible was done to ensure that this would be the healthiest pregnancy ever? In many cases, very little. Pregnancy “happens,” then along comes a baby already programmed with an energy “pool” to grow this baby to adulthood. It is all programmed and sequenced in our DNA.

Some of these programs and sequences can be interrupted or delayed due to a variety of circumstances, such as, spinal misalignment, poor diet, vaccinations, ingesting something harmful, etc. Energy � ow can get blocked. � erefore, we don’t develop to the fullness of our potential. � e good news is, energy � ow can also get unblocked and life-force, energy and function can be enjoyed, and completely restored, by following natural laws of health. Keeping high standards including consuming healthy food and drink, exercising moderately, getting uninterrupted sleep and occasional “tune-ups” with high quality chiropractors, acupuncturists, body workers, or colon therapists. Assuring that your energies are operating at their optimum.

How clean is the energy that’s � owing? � is has a lot to do with your intestines. Large and small intestines have the job of getting nutrition to our cells and, just as important, the function of getting waste products from our cells into our colons for elimination. When this doesn’t happen well, we become polluted and toxic. Most of humanity is polluted and toxic or so many wouldn’t be overweight, tired, in pain or sick. It seems that more quantity enters our bodies than leaves them. � erefore, waste product remains and there is an accumulation factor until something breaks down...unless we do something to address this imbalance.

If the intestines are polluted and stagnant, the energy supply they are delivering to our cells is tainted, and this produces unhealthy cells. So, if energy follows demand, what kind of energy is being delivered? Clean, vibrant, nutrient-rich energy? Or unclean, dirty, stagnant, toxic energy? One way to tell: are bugs (mosquitoes, gnats, ticks) attracted to you? When you have a cut, does it get in� amed and � lled with pus? Bugs are attracted to dirty blood. If there are pollutants in your blood, this will impact the healing e� ort (when the energy delivers building materials to repair the cut).

Most all health problems are a result of an unhealthy gut— clean it up! Get colonics, eat healthy, drink clean water and fresh organic juices. Health and abundant life is your birthright, but it requires thought and your participation. If you are doing what the culture is doing, you are in trouble.

My wish is that you live forever in excellent health.

Be well…live forever. Love, Bill

Powerful Intuitive Massage By Katrina Smith, LMT #6855

What if you could experience deep relaxation, pain relief and a profound sense of well-being with just one treatment? Even better, what if a long

term issue could be resolved quickly? Can you imagine receiving profound treatments from a dedicated massage therapist of 20 years with an extensive technical capacity and an ability to sense and “feel” what your body is calling to release? � e gi� of “feeling/sensing” was activated by a powerful spiritual teacher and I am very grateful.

Numerous conditions plagued me including sti� ness in my spinal column, chronic lower back pain, and occasional neck pain. It had been di� cult and uncomfortable to maintain proper posture when sitting or standing. Over time, I developed a slumped posture and my right shoulder drooped to about three inches below my le� shoulder. � ese conditions undoubtedly resulted from old injuries in sporting accidents and a rear-end automobile collision. About six weeks a� er starting weekly massage therapy treatments with Katrina, my posture greatly improved, back pain mostly disappeared, and neck rotation increased considerably. Best yet, I am rising each morning with little or no pains or sti� joints. L. C., ABQ

My college wresting shoulder injury hurt for 40 years despite doctors, heat, and time. Katrina studied my injury, worked hard on it, and now I sleep all night. My shoulder is so much better. She has healed so many people I’ve sent to her with back, neck and other injuries. She is easily the best ever in my experience. � e reason Katrina can take new patients is because her patients get well. I owe her so much for doing what no one else could do. Tom. K, ABQ

Powerful, Affordable, SafePhysician’s Blend HGH EXTREME

Why Supplement with Human Growth Hormone? By Casey Corr-Thompson

For more information about Physicians Blend HGH Extreme and a list of ingredients and their value, call 505-292-7555 or visit our website: www.physiciansblendhgh.com

The American Association of Clinical Endocrinology and theAmerican College of Endocrinology have suggested that growth hormone de� ciency is age-related, and is de� ned

by symptoms which include fatigue, increased weight and abdominal obesity, a decrease in muscle mass, and an increase in fat, a decrease in physical strength, a decrease in restful sleep, an impairment of the sense of well being, a decrease in exercise capacity and physical performance, and reduced cardiac output.

Research proved that by increasing our supply of HGH back to a younger, healthier level, we can reverse many of the e� ects of aging as well as improve our health and � tness.

In the book Feeling Younger With Homeopathic HGH, Dr. Howard Davis states that many people taking homeopathic HGH spray have reported the same bene� ts as those taking the injections, however bene� ts are being obtained:

• without having to inject themselves twice a day• at a substantially lower cost, ($2500-$3500 a month for in-

jections)• and without the possible side e� ects a non-homeopathic

dose could produce

High quality, US-made homeopathic HGH made in an FDA-approved homeopathic lab is the best choice because it can pro-vide bene� ts safely. It will not over-stimulate the pituitary gland, and it won’t cause side e� ects or make the pituitary gland lazy when taken as directed.

A Physicians Blend HGH was the � rst company to make homeopathic HGH available to the public in1999. It was for-mulated by a group of homeopathic physicians and biochemists in France then later moved to an FDA-approved homeopathic laboratory here in the USA. Since, then, our company has sold over 500,000,000 bottles. � e proof is in the numbers. Even with copycats, we have the most e� ective formulation of homeopathic HGH on the market.

The ideal height for your lawn is 3-4 inches. Never cut your lawn too short because grass can burn or weaken roots. � e best time to water grass lawns is just before sunrise.

Water deeply and less frequently to encourage drought-tolerant roots. Watering early in the morning reduces evaporation and fungal growth.

Perpetual Landscape is one of several companies that rinse o� our mowers a� er every use so that fungus does not spread from lawn to lawn. (Very important!) If you notice problem areas in your lawn, it could be due to fungus or grub worms. Grub worms will be hatching over the summer.

Spider mites love hot, dry weather. � is time of year provides an ideal environment for them. Spider mites frequently attach cypress, roses and juniper. � e tell-tale sign of a spider mite infestation is stippling on upper leaf surfaces and webbing un-der leaves and along stems. A strong stream of water can o� en dislodge mites and is not harmful to any bene� cial insects that might be present.

To control garden pests such as aphids, cochineal scale (which resemble white bits of du� ), mites and mealybugs, apply a light-weight horticultural oil. Before applying, water plant well, then be sure to treat the underside of leaves thoroughly.

Having trouble with snails eating your garden produce before you can? Place a pan � lled with beer in your garden. Snails will love it and drink themselves right o� your plants and into the next dimension.

How Will Natural Injections Help My Pain? By Gretchen Gilbertson, D.C.

Biopuncture (natural injections) provide very small doses using the best homeopathic product for your needs (see the May/June 2015 Truly Alive article available online if you

missed the print issue: www.trulyalive.net/powerful-natural-pain-relief/). � ese are injected to stimulate the natural healing process. So the healing comes from “inside” your body, not from the products themselves. It’s the response of your immune system which produces the proper reactions to regain natural healing. Your body can respond with better local blood circulation, tissue repair, relaxation of muscles, local detoxi� cation. Most patients report increasing relief over the week or so following

the treatments (sometimes relief is immediate with acute, fresh injuries. It o� en takes longer with longstanding, chronic pain).

In conventional medicine, the drug you take suppresses your symptoms immediately, which is why you need to take high doses of chemical substances in order to suppress pain or in� amma-tion. � ese substances usually work immediately. But as soon as the medication stops working, you have to take another pill to “kill the pain” again.

So while injections of such tiny doses are less immediately powerful than say, cortisone injections, the bene� ts are clearly superior. Your body will be healing the underlying reasons for the in� ammation. � is is essentially the exact opposite of con-ventional drugs. With Biopuncture, the pain may even get worse the next day (“healing crisis”). � is happens because the body is adapting to the new situation.

Attn: Small Business Owners, Is Writing Not Your Thing? By Karen Larré

Business owners o� en share with me, “I just can’t write well!” � ey o� er valuable services and are great at what they do, but don’t have the writing skills to

promote and market their business e� ectively.

Most business owners perform their services well and o� er substantial bene� ts to their clients at a great value. � ey just haven’t learned (or don’t have the natural skills) to write about their o� erings in a compelling way, and usually

struggle mightily to get persuasive copy together for websites, social media, brochures, (Truly Alive articles...), etc. E� ective marketing and compelling copywriting is essential to the success of every business…but most especially to small businesses. How do you set your business apart from others with similar o� erings? How do you drive clients/customers/patients to

your door? Is what you are doing producing the results you hoped for?

Copywriting is one of the most essential elements of e� ective marketing. � e art and science of direct-response copywriting involves strategically delivering words that get people to take some form of action. For some business owners, e� ective copywriting comes naturally and words � ow out of them easily. For most however, it doesn’t.

If you would appreciate someone whose “thing” it is to write compelling marketing copy, quickly and a� ordably, please give me a call or drop me an email. I am happy to answer any questions you may have. In as little as 30-60 minutes, I could interview you and then submit copy dra� s to you by email. It can be easier than you imagined. A sigh of relief is just a step away. � is is one area of your business you won’t have to struggle over anymore!

For the past 7 years, I have been writing articles for Truly Alive Magazine; but there are times that words just escape me. It is di� cult to write about myself or to write sales-oriented material. A� er sitting in front of the computer for hours, ready to pull my hair out, I can call Karen and she writes something up that I can edit or use as is. Fortunately, I like to write, but sometimes I have writer’s block and Karen Larré is better at writing marketing material than most of us.

A Review: SPIRIT WISDOM for Daily Living By Clint G. Bridges

If this review inspires you and you would like to read more reviews on my book: www.amazon.com/SPIRIT-WISDOM-For-Daily-Living/product-reviews. Want to purchase SPIRIT WISDOM For Daily Living? Visit www.amazon.com and order your copy today!

T his book has been such a great read! To begin with, I have quite the collection of self-help/personal growth books, which I enjoy, but all follow similar formulas.

� ey give you steps to take, tell you how to think, etc. � ose can be helpful, but having set rules outlined of how to think can grow mundane.

Filled with personal memories and insights, as well as inspirational words from others (that Clint further expands on with his own interpretation and thoughts), this book is a refreshing approach to spiritual well-being. A stand-out quality is that this book doesn’t need to teach a formula or set structure of thinking (which I � nd some authors use almost as a crutch). � e author does not push a set of beliefs on you; rather, he inspires you to take an honest look at yourself, and take accountability for the life you have always been ultimately responsible for. How freeing it is when you realize you have control over yourself and your circumstances! It just makes sense and I can feel the authenticity in Clint’s writing.

I also really enjoy the format. I feel it is very travel-friendly. I can just pick it up, � ip to a page, and instantly feel upli� ed and enlightened without worrying that I missed some important “step”! It is thoroughly enjoyable to read the author’s insights and musings and then re� ect on what I take from it, which is how this book really lends itself to personal-growth. � e author plants the seed, and it is up to you how you choose to cultivate it. � at is what is really special, how you can make this book feel like your own.

A Patient Speaks Out By Trey Stiles, D.C.

Dear Trey, I wanted to share my experience with you and say how grateful I am.

A friend is always on the cutting edge of knowledge about a variety of topics. She was telling me about her visits with you, and a� er the 3rd or 4th visit I noticed a drop into alignment of her shoulders. I was impressed! As she continued to receive entrainments from you, I watched her body get more � uid, her pain decrease, and her emotionally stuck places have more � ow.

I wanted that alignment too, because when I stood up straight, I tended to breathe and feel better. Yet it was a great e� ort to get and keep my body erect. A� er my third visit, I walked out of your o� ce with the best posture I think I have ever had. I also noticed I did not have to consciously make my body stand upright. It felt natural and my head was not jutting forward. � is is exactly what I want and need right now in my life.

During the fourth visit, I went into a number of body spasms up and down my spine. � is continued all the way home and until I went to sleep. � e next day I felt spasms throughout the day. I was a little worried, as I had watched videos online to get a better understanding of this technique and never saw anything but � uid movements. I felt like I was jerking like a shock victim. (Not really, but maybe you are smiling.) � e spasms continued at a lesser frequency, until my next visit a week later. Here is the cool part: Two days a� er the spasming began, I noticed that I felt a lighter sense of being. I am really not sure how else to describe it. It was not euphoric. Instead I felt I could cope with upsets better and felt so much more at ease emotionally.

I know when I trust my inner guidance, my life � ows so much smoother. � is treatment is helping me feel more in tune to my inner voice. Please know I am so grateful for this and the many positive changes I am seeing in my life.

� ank you so much for this wonderful impact you are making in my life. It is so appreciated! B.L., ABQ

All Natural Skin Care Products By Lora McKown, LMT #7795

Have you looked at the ingredients in commercial skin care products? Ever done any research on them? We absorb 60% or more of what we put on our skin. So

many health issues are linked to toxins; it’s wise to understand the possible connections to your health challenges. Visit this great link to learn about the 12 toxic and carcinogenic compounds found in beauty and skin care products: www.mindbodygreen.com/0-5971/12-Toxic-Ingredients-to-AVOID-in-Cosmetics-Skin-Care-Products-Infographic.html.

Want an a� ordable source for all natural skin care products? My line includes natural lotions, lotion bars, deodorant, sugar scrubs and anti-aging oil. Custom made products for speci� c conditions are also available.

Bene� ts include repairing, rejuvenating and re� ning. Natural products allow your body’s system to work the way nature intended. All natural products are also better for the environment and our planet.

My favorite oils are Coconut: (amazing antioxidant and healing properties, kills bacteria, viruses and fungi), Avocado: (wonderful antioxidant, high in vitamins A & C and is deeply, moisturizing), and Sesame: (great for detoxi� cation, helps repair damaged skin cells, antibacterial and is a natural sunscreen). I use the following butters too…Shea: (reduces in� ammation, smoothes skin, is moisturizing and is a great sunscreen), and Mango: (moisturizing and promotes cell regeneration).

In addition to creating natural skin care products, I o� er massage therapy (Swedish). It’s truly a gi� to be able to help people feel better. Come see me at the Uptown Market on Saturdays and at the Presbyterian Market on Tuesdays, (7am-noon) through October, 2015.

Staying Alive By Paul Folse

Ten months ago, I was given six months to live. I’m pleased, if still surprised, to still be here, feeling 100% normal. I’m able to do all I enjoy with no pain or

restrictions. I no longer use morphine, oxycodone or other drugs I was given for pain. A� er six months in hospice, they ‘booted me out’ since my health clearly was improving. I’m again living on my own and planning at least a year or so ahead with the conviction that it will happen.

Even before being diagnosed with advanced metastatic colon cancer last August, I’d been reading books on healing and what worked for others. My terminal diagnosis � nally gave me the motivation to begin taking the best research to heart. I cut out alcohol, co� ee, acidic foods, simple starches and added sweeteners, as well as most animal products. I relied on raw fruits, vegetables, seeds, nuts, and whole grains along with an array of high-quality supplements. I began spending even more time surrounded by pure nature, re� ecting and meditating. I sought ways to spend more time with cats and dogs. I got and gave lots more hugs. I prayed and asked people to pray for me. Most of all, I tried to keep my focus on the world, not on myself. I stepped up my contributions to worthy charities many times over. In e� ect, I decided to use myself as a one-person ‘experiment’ to see what was possible without any aggressive cancer treatment. � e fact that I was not at all afraid of dying, since I’ve long agreed with Teilhardt de Chardin that ‘we are spiritual beings having a human experience’ and not the other way around, made all of this in� nitely easier.

It took a while for any of this to begin working. I spent last fall in pain and despondency; torn between � guring out how to stay alive longer and wishing I could just die and be done with it. By Christmas, I was beginning to feel better. I began regaining the weight I’d lost and added a vigorous daily exercises. I felt my stamina and joy in simply being alive returning.

Is my cancer cured? I don’t know, and I don’t actually care at this point. I now see my cancer as a valuable and much-needed learning opportunity. Each day, I resolve to see it as ‘just another day’. I am grateful for any small amount of additional time in this body!


v

ARIES (3/21-4/19) July � nds you standing in a spotlight. You are seen and appreciated and your career looks bright as well. You are drawn to your home this month, but that means there could be

secrets at work behind your back. � ere is bliss by the 8th. You should succeed despite the small stu� . You can work more from home. � ere is an upset on the 12th. � e 15th has mysterious forces to deal with. � ere’s bad news on the 18th. Computer problems on the 25th. Fortunately, you are the Warrior Sign. Peace is coming. AUGUST is hot in many ways. Love and happiness seem to heat your life beyond the power of the Sun. You will � nd your greatest happiness comes from your grand creative works. You are likely to bene� t � nancially this way. You would do well working with teenagers. Coaching or teaching brings great rewards. You feel free to have fun a� er completing things at home. Now, there is nothing but joy for the good Rams. You seem to generate a magnetism which attracts love into your gravity.

TAURUS (4/20-5/20) JULY starts o� with big dreams as hopefulness lights your path. Journeys of the heart are very likely. � ere’s a feel-good start to the month. Don’t let your gusto wear you out. You

tend to take on too much this � rst week. � e 2nd week is a time for short journeys, but take care driving from the 13th-17th. Venus creates a slow motion feeling as it prepares to turn retrograde for six weeks. � is begins on the 25th and brings your life full circle as the past comes back. � ese past things need love. AUGUST is just too phony for the realistic Bulls to tolerate. Still, there is fortune to be found in or near the home around the 4th. Something thought to be lost, reappears. Family � lls your mind on the 5th. Don’t let old memories make you sad, but if you are, you are. Action � lls the 6th as you watch and listen. Even with your planet, Venus, retrograde all month, you still manage to bump into excitement throughout the month without trying. � e 19th surprises and the 31st brings an old � ame to the door.

GEMINI (5/21-6/21) JULY has you feeling mentally sharp which leads to � nancial advances. You need containment on the 2nd as thrilling news could overload your brain. � ere is happiness and love

which leads to serious adjustments to your life. � e money gates are about to burst open a� er the 8th which will wash you into a sea of beauty by the 13th. � e only hitch is found in a set of rules which puts a governor on any possible maniacal sense of power you could feel. Consider that and build your dream. AUGUST � lls your mind with many great ideas. � ere will be 3 major plans to carry out this month. One of these projects is on the scale of a pyramid. So practicality and reality play a

role here. Maybe, the pyramid can be replaced by a sun porch, or something. Will there be time to run around too? If only someone could add a couple of hours to the day, huh? � e 8th gets you started with a bankroll to back you up. � e 22nd and 26th will require adjustments so think ahead. � e 6th and 7th are your best days.

CANCER (6/22-7/22) July—Happy birthday to all fellow Crabs in this sea of life and love. Crabbiness is a sign of sensitivity, but alas, the Moon Children are the most misunderstood of all the Signs. � e Crab

has a hard shell on the outside, but tender and sweet on the inside. We just need to be warmed up a little. So, the Cancerians have an easy lesson this month. � e Full Moon and Venus both combine on the 1st to say, “Life is � lled with love. It’s as powerful as the dark matter of the Universe. Quit frowning”. AUGUST is about making money. By using your imagination, the bucks pour in. Old sources of income are trying to lure you into premature investments. Wait until next month on one of these temptations. � ere are 3 better choices for now. Check your budget carefully on the 2nd and 3rd. You will know by the 14th which road is paved with gold. Someone with connections helps out on the 26th. Soon (mid-September), Saturn will leave your 5th house, bringing a happier single life for lonely Crabs.

LEO (7/23-8/22) JULY is warmed by your radiance. � ere is truth to many hidden matters this month. Keep on guard despite a tendency toward escapism near the 1st. � ere is a dark force eating away at you

on the inside. � is is most evident on the 6th. It’s just a controlling force of the unseen kind that wants to lead you to subconscious revelations. � is can bring a resolve to better things as of the 22nd. Love may evaporate near the 25th, but the Blue Moon promises a good replacement near the 31st. AUGUST has sparks of bright lights across the earth as Leos celebrate their birthdays. � ere is so much happiness (with some aggravation) coursing through your blood, that you are pure solar joy. If that sounds like a lot of excitement, that’s because there is! � e 13th sees the return of an old partner. � at means as much as you want it to mean. � ey are not in a good position to promise anything, right now. � e 15th is better for love, but same with the promises. Finances dominate at month’s end. Viva la vida.

VIRGO (8/23-9/22) JULY has you focused on career and improving your standing as some recognition is a� orded to you. An unexpected attraction on the 2nd could change your month. Getting away can

bring a great sense of peace and happiness to you this 1st week. Obligations can actually be changed on the 7th. Friends and goals are realized from the 8th-13th.Unseen forces oppose you

GEMINI (5/21-6/21) sharp which leads to � nancial advances. You need containment on the 2nd as thrilling news could overload your brain. � ere is happiness and love


on the 15th as world violence disturbs you. You may withdraw on and a� er the 23rd so as to work on certain adjustments. AUGUST � nds you spending hours alone, making great discoveries to bene� t mankind. As of the 7th, you may realize that you have been neglecting yourself too much. � at day will start you thinking and acting on your ideas in a more open way to the world. You can now tell everyone not to worry; you’re actually feeling quite whole and happy with your alone times, and secrets. Jupiter is bringing great blessings to you starting the 11th. Your ship is arriving during the next year. � e full Moon stirs your embers and fans your � ames on the 29th.

LIBRA (9/23-10/22) JULY—Do people have parties on Wednesdays? � is � rst day would be good to have one or recover from one the night before. July is for outdoor celebrations though work can

keep you indoors too much. Love can make us irresponsible sometimes, so watch that around mid-month. � ere seems to be time for everything as some plans change near, and a� er the 25th. It doesn’t seem fair that so much is expected from one as beautiful as you. You might feel like hiding out over the next 40 days. AUGUST has a retrograde Venus all month, which brings delays and frustrations with love and/or money. � e big lesson from Venus is to carefully consider your friends. Your dreams are on hold, so spend a little time to pinpoint the problem here. � e 4th is a time to take sides with the truth in a matter. � ere is a reward from your current trials and tribulations. Listen to good advice on the 6th. An authority � gure supports your plan at mid-month. Action is needed on the 19th, but your feet are heavy.

SCORPIO (10/23-11/21) JULY is usually nice for the stinging ones. Your mind is tuned to a higher frequency. You also hear the siren calls of distant lands. With Pluto remaining retrograde, it might be

better to � nd nothing to do. � e 15th is hazardous to your inner mind. Use due caution. � ere is one nice accomplishment for you on the 21st. � is will lead you into reputable, respectable, and non-regrettable decisions for your future success. Remain calm during the weekend of the 24th. Talking about things on the 29th, helps. AUGUST is like a gust of wind that leaves you aghast with an agonizing agenda against an aggregate of aggravation. Stay agile. Put on your armor like Agamemnon. Trouble starts on the 6th in the middle of your hard work e� orts. Don’t be distracted from your great accomplishment. Someone wants to steal your thunder. � e 8th is time to start working in a new direction. Changes occur at work. It’s a great opportunity to bene� t from a company’s good fortune.

SAGITTARIUS (11/22-12/21) JULY has � reworks and other night time thrills for you. Most of the Archers will feel stress-free, � oating weightlessly over the troubles of the Earth. You can easily take a stand

against aggressive people. � ey are cowards. You never are. Grand slam! � is month could start up violence and battles in various parts of the world, but all you have to do is splash on the sun screen and � oat lazily down a beautiful river. Love will lead you all month, and into new places on the 31st. AUGUST has 3 curtains for you. Behind curtain #1 is a journey to a fun place. Curtin #2 brings a chance to further your education. And curtain #3 brings love, and the extreme happiness that goes with

that. It’s possible to choose all three, especially since you now know what they hold. Before all that, the Universe advises you to balance out your life the � rst 3 days. Listen to good advice on the 6th/7th. � e 11th begins a year of serious career advances. � e 26th is � lled with valuable info. � ings are perkin”.

CAPRICORN (12/22-1/19) JULY has Saturn retrograde moving back into Scorpio again…just when you were enjoying the lighter, more positive energy when it was in Sagittarius, brie� y. � is looks

like an important life lesson that may require � nishing some neglected or un� nished issues. Something you have avoided for over a decade is now “in your face”. For some Seagoats, this is an old relationship that never really le� your mind. � ere are daily occurrences this month, but nothing as important as this. AUGUST still brings those deep emotional memories, but as Saturn turns forward in its apparent motion, things begin to make sense and work out better. Still, these � rst 7 days bring a radiant beauty to your life, but it turns sour right away. Was it something you said? At least you won’t be deeply involved. � e 14th brings a passionate new beginning. Shake o� any debris that gets stuck in your goat horns. By the � nal week, you will be progressing right along with your work. Your future looks bright.

AQUARIUS (1/20-2/18) JULY can turn your short trips into long journeys. � ings will begin to slow near month’s end as progress gets blocked. � is is the only way the Universe can slow down Aquarians.

� e 2nd brings good news regarding travel or expressing your ideas. � e 12th has something trying to restrict that freedom of expression. Just remind them that this is still, o� cially, America. � ese attitudes from others are their worst on the 15th, but it could be a pattern for another month a� er that. AUGUST is about partnerships and an active social life. � ere are many facets to these events. � e focus is so strong that you would be drawn out of shackles in a dungeon to join in the festivities. Your own ideas may not work out, so just gravitate. Here’s what the Universe, or God’s brain, has on your menu: an appetizer of intrigue, some happiness soup, a well-bred person to butter you up, an entre of a swirling dervish of desire, followed by a very sweet dessert the two of you can share. Love rules!

PISCES (2/19-3/20) JULY has a few pleasantries for you. � ere is an upwelling of your creative/romantic spirit. Excitement enters your front door around the 7th or 8th. � ere is an instant � ush of interest in this

new person. Your heart pounds a little faster as you speak of many things together while laughing and realizing how much you both have in common. � e world, at large, still has its problems with all the su� ering and strife, but you have found an oasis of happiness as you visit and speak love’s language. AUGUST has a few bumps in your road through paradise. Right away, you are expected to change your work routine to please another. Changes are supposed to correct mistakes, but they can also cause mistakes so take care around the 12th with the details. � ere will be drunk drivers around that evening. May you be blessed to get through to an idiotic boss this month. Your partner is a brighter spirit to deal with by month’s end. So, don’t be sad. Be glad for what you had, don’t get mad. � at would be bad.

AQUARIUS (1/20-2/18) trips into long journeys. � ings will begin to slow near month’s end as progress gets blocked. � is is the only way the Universe can slow down Aquarians.
