Transcendent Sex: On Talk for Food

My first orgasm was a mystical experience, that confirmed, at least in my 17-year old consciousness at the time, that God wasn’t a myth, and actually did exist. But there are experiences of God to be known that go far beyond the temporal ecstasy of orgasm, and the simplistic perceptions of a 17 year old.

Interdimensional and interspatial, they are discussed on my next webcast of Talk for Food, when my guest is Jenny Wade, Ph. D., author of Transcendent Sex: When Lovemaking Opens the Veil.

Jenny was a presenter at the Toward a Science of Consciousness Conference and Symposium, held April 8-12 2008 in Tucson and sponsored by the Center for Consciousness Studies at the University of Arizona.

Hers was one of the more compelling presentations under the subject: Sex and Consciousness.

The Magnificent YOU: ‘Missing in Plain Sight’

The Truth About Placebos

The ongoing campaign by proponents and opponents of the MMS protocol to get their word out (my own included) often miss a very important point; that is, that the individual is the final word on whether any modality “works” or does not “work” on said individual.

The individual is the most overlooked and discounted aspect in our examination of disease pathologies and healing modalities. Why? Because we think “bad” things happen to us, which we are affected by, and it is incredulous to believe that anyone would literally create a disease experience, or allow said experience to occur. Yet, that is exactly what is happening. Until we understand that the opposite is true, we’ll simply continue creating these not-so-merry-go-round debates about how to get well, when the truth, and the power to do so, lies within.

MMS opponents ignore the mounting documentation of positive results that people are sharing, rationalizing that what has actually occurred, is a placebo effect. According to Wikipedia:

a placebo response is “a therapeutic healing effect of an inert medicine or ineffective therapy.”

When we label the benefits of a non-traditional treatment or modality a “placebo,” the purpose is to dismiss or discredit said non-traditional treatment. The fact that the individual demonstrated the power to heal him or herself without the assistance of traditional treatment (the one proponents want you to believe in), is totally ignored.

Everyone has the power to heal, but mostly, we don’t know how. And sometimes, it seems easier to believe that it’s not possible for us. In truth, it’s not easier, for when we don’t consciously use our power to move into the reality that represents our heart’s desire, we remain entrenched in the not-so-pleasant status quo.

We then assume that expensive, caustic, mutilating medical practices are necessary to fight our disease wars, when in fact, they are just as much a placebo as the non-traditional approach, or even non-treatment.

This warrants repeating. Pharmaceutical remedies are placebos too. The FDA’s mandates that only pharmaceuticals can lay claim to curative properties, and anything that claims curative properties is a drug (and under their jurisdiction), is an extreme example of how little we understand about ourselves. More than arrogance, it reveals our ignorance, a condition of consciousness that each can overcome and transcend.

This begs the question: In order to heal… that is, to return to health from a state of dis-ease, does something have to change? You bet it does. YOU DO!

What must change, however, is up to the individual, and will differ from one to the next. Though there may be common factors, the specific healing key won’t be found outside of one’s self. It’ll be inside, in our attitudes and beliefs about and relationship to life, God, humankind, and to self.

That is why the one who has the dis-ease must look within. That is why two people can be exposed to the same thing, and one is affected (or appears to be infected), while the other has no response whatsoever.

What makes looking at individuals unattractive is that, when you do so, then all “debate” over what works and what does not, comes to an end, because it’s ALL placebo. If it’s ALL placebo, then why choose those that bankrupt us, and cause such extensive damage?

God only knows. (But then you’re “separate” from God too, eh? No.)

When you know that it’s all placebo, then all you have to decide how you want to heal, as opposed to whether you can, or whether this, or that modality “works.”

Anything that you try will work when you have chosen to let to of your dis-ease about this, or that, and let the Power that is within you build your light, energy, and body back up. I’m referring to the Power that you’re now using to dim your mighty light through guilt, shame, judgment, holding a grudge, wanting vengeance against someone, or envy.

Then you can ask yourself do you want to be poisoned or mutilated, or do you want to remove poisons that are already present?

Your body will heal itself on YOUR permission and command, not on the work of MMS, chemotherapy, or any pharmaceutical. However, once you give it the Word (which every cell will hear and respond positively to), it will make the best of the tools that you give it to facilitate its toxic purge, return to balance, and subsequent repair.

So it behooves you (and me) to get to know your Magnificent Self, for YOU are the link that has been “missing in plain sight” all along.

‘Skepticism Schism:’ Reality Much Sweeter than Doubt

I stood over the sink washing dishes when my mind began to drift… anything to get me from that sink, I guess. The Biblical adage — about how weak (”little”) our faith can be, and if it was the size of a mustard seed we’d be able to move mountains (Matthew 17:20) — really hit home with me.

The recent post by some “expert” on chlorine dioxide, citing data on a blog called “mmsexposed” was of some concern. Obviously, it’s of greater concern to the people who care more about being considered “right” and someone else “wrong” than they do about the real benefits that are happening every day from the use of MMS.

I realize that’s the real problem for these folk, and I can even understand why from their perspective, but in this instance, understanding isn’t reassuring. However, faith is; faith that the things that matter are progressing in a wholly beneficial way.

Earlier today I spent some time in the curezone.com MMS debate forum. This is where the “it’s a hoax” crowd goes at it with staunch MMS defenders. The exchanges frequently break down into who can be the most clever in “dissing” the other. Seems a waste of time and energy now when there are so many real people you can talk to or read about who know that using it has benefited them.

Personally, I’m very clear that MMS/chlorine dioxide is helpful, and does no harm. I feel no need to debate or defend it. That clarity grew when I first began a series of conversations with Jim Humble after reading his book, for my radio show, and doing research on my own to independent sources to see how the naturally chemical behaves, and finally seeing the effects it had on me, as well as on others.

My documentary, Understanding MMS: Conversations with Jim Humble, pretty much speaks to the protocol’s significance to humanity. Yet, when someone writes what appears to be an intelligent and informed criticism of the protocol, as an anonymous poster did recently, it still rattles the cage, even though I know that the claims are clearly specious. The hardest thing to do sometimes is to relax when deliberate deception stares you squarely in the face.

I didn’t. I devoted over half of this week’s radio show to it, almost overshadowing my conversation with Dr. Rupert Sheldrake. Even through this post it’s clear it’s still on my mind. I realize that people who are researching and considering using MMS are serious about something related to their health, and I want them to have the straight story. Yet, I must ultimately relax and allow each to sift through the information, mine included, and decide what they think is best for them, whether I agree with their decision or not.

Sometimes a critic will haughtily declare that until they see double-blind studies and peer reviewed reports, MMS is a hoax, all the while someone real is courageously going through the sometimes lonely process of getting well.

While standing at the sink drying a drinking glass, it occurred to me that all those chemotherapy cocktails which are approved for cancer treatment most likely were supported by double-blind studies and were probably peer reviewed. And in spite of that, plus the million$ it cost to produce those formulations and studies, the medical profession, to this day, can claim only a 4% five year survival rate for pancreatic cancer. Liver cancer isn’t much better at 8%. The survival rate is higher for colon cancer (62%), and a prostate cancer patient can expect 99% survival rate. But there’s still a major cost and change of life. There is absolutely no acceptable substitute for the loss of normal sexual function associated with prostate surgery when we understand that a reduction of toxicity in the body, combined with providing the mineral nourishment it needs and a return to microbial balance, will allow the body to repair itself.

Instead of seeing the sense of the statement above, the allopathic medical profession will deny it until after double-blind studies have been performed, although I’d be willing to bet that they would be deemed “inconclusive.”

Chemotherapy and radiation, as primary responses to cancer, are outmoded, as is surgery. All of these offer “survival” as their best possible result. And in some cases, doing nothing offers greater chances of recovery than the traditional treatment. “Surviving” cancer treatment, even for five years, is not nearly the same as returning to health.

Chemotherapy is a tough pill to take, and unlike MMS, which simply extracts pathogens and toxicity that is already present in the body, chemotherapy and radiation adds more. While both processes may lead to diarrhea and vomiting — which makes sense when we understand that the body will naturally seek to remove toxicity when it can — only MMS leaves the body with less toxicity after the flush. A cancer patient’s body will now have to deal with managing and storing the new batch of poisons that have been introduced, even if some of it “killed” the tumor. While doing so, it will have made the environment where cancer grows that much more fertile.

Chemotherapy is usually given in a doctor’s office, in the hospital as a outpatient, or at home. Chemotherapy is usually given in cycles of treatment periods followed by recovery periods. Side effects of chemotherapy vary from person to person, and also depend on the agents given. Modern chemotherapy agents are usually well tolerated, and side effects are manageable. In general, anticancer medications destroy cells that are rapidly growing and dividing. Therefore, red blood cells, platelets, and white blood cells are frequently affected by chemotherapy. Common side effects include anemia, loss of energy, easy bruising, and a low resistance to infections. Cells in the hair roots and intestines also divide rapidly. Therefore, chemotherapy can cause hair loss, mouth sores, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. (Source: www.medicinenet.com)

No one has ever reported losing their hair with MMS. Many have reported losing sores… if they had any. They disappeared. People have reported losing their asthma (like Eddie), if they had it. They have reported feeling better than they have in years, after going through their own “dark night of toxicity,” which sometimes lasted for years.

Eddie’s call yesterday couldn’t have been better timed, for here was someone real telling me about something that he knew he had just experienced. He wasn’t anonymous. He didn’t have an axe to grind. He had documented proof. He was no anecdote.

Eddie’s faith had been at least as large as a mustard seed… not so much in MMS, but in himself. He used his intelligence to make the decision to use MMS. He complemented the MMS with high alkaline water — 6 liters each day (by adding baking soda to raise the pH to 8.5) — plus chlorophyll, and Omega 3 supplementation.

He wasn’t looking for a “cure all.” He simply wanted to be well again, and so now he is, in less than sixty days. Being well again trumps surviving every time.

As I put the last clean dish away, I thanked Eddie for the reality check. It broke the “skepticism schism” that tried to insinuate itself in my mind as doubt. The timing was perfect.

A mustard seed must be pretty small, eh?

MMS Skeptic’s View with Reply by Jim Humble

As promised…

This letter was pasted on this blog by… they don’t give their names. However, it is the same one that was posted elsewhere, except the writer’s points were answered by Jim Humble. His referrals to “User 96341″ was the only name that the poster gave.

So I’ll relax, sit back, and let you read and consider for yourself.

Regards,

Adam…

I have been asked to repost the following here as an eye opener for those risking their safety and health on experimenting with a POISONOUS substancethe following statements are just a few that are found on the MMS site and/or purported by others to “explain” how and why MMS works yet it is plain “bad science” –my degrees in developmental bio and the decades spent teaching pre-med and nursing students as well as even more years as a Science ed consultant compels me to refute the following:

1.- false statement: only “bad” microbes are ‘negatively’ charged and/or pathogens cant survive alkaline environments..
we must not be content to repeat what we have heard or seen written by those selling anything. ANY intro level microbio text will tell you that the following DEADLY pathogens exist and thrive in alkaline environments: enterococcus, erysipelous bacteria, listeria and yes even fungus like aspergillus which has become deadly to many. therefore stating only ‘good’ bacteria are alkaline is FALSE- also, ingesting an alkaline will make these pathogens more likely to cause harm, NOT “kill” them.

1… Mr. User #96341 I, (JimHumble), HAVE NEVER MADE ANY SUCH STATEMENTS. MMS IS VERY ACIDIC WHEN IT ENTERS THE BODY. CHLORINE DIOXIDE, ONCE RELEASED, WORKS IN ANY ENVIRONMENT FROM HIGHLY ACIDIC TO HIGHLY ALKALINE. THAT’S FROM pH 5 to pH 10. LET ME SUGGEST THAT YOU READ MY BOOK AND MY FURTHER ANSWERS BELOW. AND DO SOME RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET ON CHLORINE DIOXIDE- JimHumble

-According to experiments by Weichselbaum et al ” when gastric fluids become alkaline microbes do NOT lose their pathogenic properties”…

WELL, I’D HAVE TO ADMIT THAT I AGREE WITH WEICHSELBAUM ET AL, BUT THEN I NEVER SAID ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY — JimHumble.

-also the info re : oxygen and microbes–there are plenty of microbes you DONT want harmed by the increased oxygen thats supposedly occurring and still more “bad” ones left UNharmed

NO, NO, MR. 96341, THERE IS NO INCREASE OF OXYGEN WITH MMS. NONE AT ALL. REALLY, YOU SHOULD READ MY BOOK OR LOOK IT UP ON THE WEB. CHLORINE DIOXIDE IS THE OXIDIZER. IT IS TOTALLY DIFFERENT THAN OXYGEN. THAT’S WHAT MAKES IT SO VALUABLE. OXYGEN IS A STRONG OXIDIZER AND CHLORINE DIOXIDE IS A WEAK OXIDIZER.–JimHumble

-2. False statement:Good bacteria cant be harmed– what about GOOD bacteria that thrive in ACID environments ( almost all of the probiotics like lactobacillus). What is ingesting an alkaline doing to THEM??? while many cant make it past stomach acids, some DO and others do well in the slightly less acid but NOT alkaline GI tract, beyond the stomach, as well. if ANY bacteria or viruses are harmed, so too will the “good” bacteria.

2…STILL WRONG! MMS IS ACIDIC WHEN IT ENTERS THE BODY, BUT THE CHLORINE DIOXIDE THAT DOES THE WORK IS NOT ACIDIC. IN FACT, I CAN SAY THAT ACID OR ALKALINE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH IT. READ MY BOOK. SORRY, DON’T MEAN TO PUT YOU DOWN, IT’S JUST THAT I AM REALLY TIRED OF ALL THE NEGATIVE STUFF BY PEOPLE WHO DON’T HAVE A CLUE. FURTHER DETAILS ARE GIVEN BELOW.–JimHumble

3. False statement- harmless salts form-well salts ARE forming BUT the falsesness lies in their usefulness- the common salt thats forming?? mostly right in the gut .hence the nausea- any scientific evidence that ANY of the active CLO2 stuff thats making you so nauseated getting anywhere into the blood??? I have seen NONE. The mammal body is pretty good at keeping things where they belong, why would such a toxic substance as ClO2 be allowed to get into the blood at high enough quantity? Id love to SEE blood and intracellular levels of ClO2 after ingesting this stuffso too Id like to see the proof of its ability to get into the RBC–the membrane system makes it difficult at best for larger and unfamiliar molecules to simply cross the barrier membranes.

3…STILL WRONG MR. 96341. THE MOST SALT THAT IS EVER CREATED BY A DOSE OF MMS IS 10 MG. THAT’S LESS THAN 1/2 OF A MATCH HEAD. CAN YOU IMAGINE THAT AMOUNT OF SALT MAKING ANYONE SICK OR NAUSEOUS. YOU CAN’T EVEN TASTE IT IN 1/2 GLASS OF WATER. YOU GET ABOUT 10 TIMES THAT FROM EATING A WEINER. WHY DOES CHLORINE DIOXIDE GET IN THE BLOOD? READ MY BOOK. THE RED BLOOD CELLS CANNOT TELL CHLORINE DIOXIDE FROM OXYGEN. AND YES, I HAVE BEEN USING ONE OF THE BEST DARK FIELD MICROSCOPES NOW AVAILABLE IN THE STATE OF THE ART. IT COST $38,000 AND IT IS VERY GOOD.– JimHumble

4. False statement- the CLO2 deposits onto stomach walls where it enters the body like other nutrients–well first off nutrients leave the gut via small intestines NOT the stomach, secondly the acids in the stomach would react with the CLO2 anyway.and make those SALTS long before it leaves the stomach–add HCL to your solutions and see what happens!

4…WRONG AGAIN MR. 96341. SORRY, I’D APOLOGIZE IF PEOPLE LIKE YOU WERE NOT DOING SO MUCH DAMAGE. YOU DESTROY THE CHANCES OF THE MANY WHO BELIEVE YOU. FIRST, THE STOMACH WALLS DO INDEED ADSORB QUITE A FEW NUTRIENTS. SECONDLY ALL THE HCL IN THE STOMACH DOES TO MMS IS SLIGHTLY INCREASE THE RATE OF GENERATION OF CHLORINE DIOXIDE. ACID HAS NO EFFECT ON CHLORINE DIOXIDE AT THE pH LEVEL OF STOMACH ACID. YES MR. 96341 I HAVE MADE SEVERAL HUNDRED EXPERIMENTS USING STOMACH ACID AND MMS. HOWEVER, THIS DATA IS AVAILABLE IN THE LITERATURE. IT DOESN’T DEPEND UPON MY EXPERIMENTS.– JimHumble

5. False statement–if you have nothing in the body below acid level/Ph7 there are no ill effects–ummm what about the acids in the stomach?? and what about those good bacteria- ACIDophilus etc??there ARE things in the body below that level and theyre necessary tooFYI HEALTHY microbes like lactobacillus require Ph range of 5.8-6.6 ACIDIC and
some pathogens like clostridium do well at 6.0-7.6–that is, they thrive even with alkaline environs!!

when in a state of health human body is slightly ACIDIC
while blood is usally slightly alkaline at 7.4 ( arteries) and 7.3 (veins)
Urine Ph norms = 6.0
saliva Ph norma 6.0-7.4 and vary so widely it cannot be used to measure the entire body’s Ph levels
there are individual variations so that within a small range we each have optimum levels depending upon diet and genetics and other factors.

5… ALTHOUGH I NEVER MADE ANY SUCH STATEMENTS, YOU FINALLY DID GET SOMETHING RIGHT. I’D AGREE WITH YOU CONCERNING THESE pH STATEMENTS YOU HAVE MADE. I’LL LET YOU HAVE THAT. HOWEVER, YOU STILL ARE NOT GETTING IT. THE pH (WHICH MEANS ACID-ALKALINE LEVEL) OF THE BODY DOES NOT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE OPERATION OF CHLORINE DIOXIDE IN THE BODY. I NEVER SAID IT DID. THE pH LEVEL OF THE SKIN OF PATHOGENS “MIGHT” HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE OPERATION OF MMS, BUT NOT pH LEVEL OF THE BODY. — JimHumble

6. False statement–no chlorine is involved–that chlorine like odor when you mix it??? chlorine!! and IF its chlorine dioxide??? still poison-matter of fact if you inhale the fumes you will be inhaling chlorine or chlorine dioxide gas and may well end up needing medical attention!

6. WRONG AGAIN. READ THE LITERATURE. YOU DON’T HAVE TO READ MY BOOK. SODIUM CHLORITE MAKES CHLORINE DIOXIDE. IT IS USED EXTENSIVE BECAUSE IT DOES NOT MAKE CHLORINE. SHOULD YOU INHALE IT? NOT A GOOD IDEA. BUT THE AMOUNT THAT YOU CAN GET FROM A DOSE OF MMS WILL NEVER SEND ANYONE TO THE HOSPITAL. CONSIDER A 15 DROP MAXIMUM DOSE OF MMS. IT GENERATES 3 MG OF CHLORINE DIOXIDE. DO YOU KNOW WHAT A PIN IS? WELL 3 MG IS LESS THAN A PIN HEAD. 3 MG OF CYANIDE WON’T HURT YOU, ALTHOUGH IT MIGHT SMELL REALLY BAD, AND CYANIDE IS MUCH MORE POISONOUS THAN CHLORINE DIOXIDE. — JimHumble

7. false statement- ingesting MMS causes Ph changes of the entire body/blood to occur–no one has shown this to happen.
- in any case, any PH changes that may occur, are very quickly rebalanced in the body,and kept within very strict levels ( different for various tissues etc) UNLESS one is so ill as to be unable and then they face a probable DEADLY outcome. Theres a reason why saliva and blood are slightly alkaline and urine acid…why would anyone think playing around with this balance is GOOD???- except in presence of some very specific illnesses, you cannot change one’s cellular Ph safely. Have you seen people in acidosis or alkalosis?? I have…not pretty. tiny changes that dont upset the natural balance also dont do much of anything for invaders…they too “like” the same margins of Ph our cells do.

7… DON’T KNOW WHERE YOU ARE GETTING YOUR INFORMATION, BUT I (JIMHUMBLE) HAVE NEVER MADE ANY SUCH STATEMENTS WHAT SO EVER. READ MY BOOK. READ MY WEB SITE. QUIT MAKING THINGS UP. — JimHumble

8. false statement–the nasuea/vomiting, diarrhea means a good thing–pathogens and toxins are leaving the body-maybe even a “herx”
if you ingest enough ‘common salt’ or salt water you will also vomit etc…like I advised to those doing the Salt/Vit c cure this too has very big risks. BUT this is NOT proof of a Herx!! or of healing or even detoxing–its your body screaming ” hey stop that”Not all negative symptom results can be called “herxes” regardless of whats causing them. that term has become way to loosely used and why we often have trouble getting other trained professionals to listen to us when a real Herx ( or other event poorly adopted) happens

FYI as for pathogens and changing Ph-as far back as the “Principles of Surgery” by Nicholas Seim it was well known that altering the stomach’s acidity by making it alkaline will actually PRESERVE the virulence of pathogens and make the patient MORE likely to get deadly SEPSIS!! ingesting a strong alkaline is NOT therefore a ‘good’ thing. it will allow pathogens in the GI tract to become stronger and even to be passed further into one’s body.

- saying chlorine dioxide is safe because we produce tiny amounts of it is patently silly. even WATER becomes toxic at high amounts. and anyone can look up ‘chlorine dioxide’ to see that its quite a dangerous substance. Citing its uses is like my saying that at one time ARSENIC was used quite successfully against spirochetes specifically syphilis. well, who here would want to ingest arsenic??

8. THAT’S JUST TALKING TO BE TALKING. 1/2 MATCH HEAD OF SALT WILL NEVER MAKE ANYONE NAUSEOUS. AGAIN, MMS DOES NOT ALTER THE pH OF THE BODY AND IS NOT DEPENDENT UPON THE pH OF THE BODY. WHAT POSSIBLE POINT CAN YOU BE MAKING BY SAYING THAT WATER IS TOXIC IN HIGH AMOUNTS. ANYONE KNOWS THAT. EVERY MEDICAL DRUG KNOWN IS TOXIC IN HIGH AMOUNTS AND MANY OF THEM MANY TIMES MORE TOXIC THAN CHLORINE DIOXIDE. CHLORINE DIOXIDE IS NOT TOXIC IN SMALL AMOUNTS USED IN MMS. I’VE TAKEN IT FOR 12 YEARS. MORE THAN A HUNDRED THOUSAND PEOPLE HAVE HAD IT INJECTED INTO THEIR VEINS IN THE PAST 20 YEARS. HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ARE NOW TAKING IT. THAT DATA IS AVAILABLE AND PROVABLE. READ MY BOOK. THE FORMULA, SODIUM CHLORITE IN THE FORM OF STABILIZED OXYGEN HAS BEEN AVAILABLE FOR 80 YEARS IN HEALTH FOOD STORES.–JimHumble

9. False statement- Malaria has been cured in Malawi and Uganda–
-I have intimate knowledge of the malaria situation in Africa due to my daughter ( grad student of anthropology who unfortunately for my gray hair travels out of this country a LOT). and I can unequivocably say that NO cure for malaria has been done there on any large scale IF AT ALL. Hundreds are STILL dying in hospitals from resistant parasites. I have a BIG problem with advertising ‘cures’ when I know them to be less than truthful.if they ‘fudge’ or exaggerate in one area then how can I believe the rest of the claims. I personally emailed the Ministers of Health of Malawi and Uganda and to this date None have been willing to say that anyone there used/uses MMS and that ANYONE has been cured of Malaria with it. Youd think theyd be bragging over their superiority if this happened. Id like to see PROOF from anyone of this happening as per the MMS website

9… WRONG AGAIN MR. 96341. IN MALAWI WE ONLY DID CLINICAL TRIALS IN THE PRISON WITH 100 % CURE RATE. THE MALAWI GOVERNMENT ALSO MATCHED OUR TESTS AND GOT THE SAME RESULTS. IN MY BOOK, I GAVE ORGANIZATIONS THAT DID THE BLOOD TESTING AND THE PEOPLE WITH WHOM YOU CAN STILL CONTACT. THERE ARE ALSO PEOPLE IN THE OTHER COUNTRIES THAT YOU CAN CONTACT, AND IN MY BOOK THERE ARE COPIES OF DOCUMENTS FROM GOVERNMENTS. IN MALAWI ALL OF THE PEOPLE IN THE GOVERNMENT HAVE BEEN REPLACED BY THE PRESIDENT, BUT THE PEOPLE INVOLVED IN THE TESTS ARE STILL THERE AND ABLE TO BE CONTACTED. BUT THE EASIER THING IS TO SIMPLY READ MY BOOK. THE PROOF IS THERE. DR. HESSELINK HAS TAKEN MORE THAN 2000 RESEARCH PAPERS CONCERNING CHLORINE DIOXIDE AND IT’S ABILITY TO CURE MALARIA FROM THE INTERNET. HE HAS DESCRIBED THE SCIENCE AND CHEMISTRY VERY CAREFULLY. HE HAS LISTED 160 SUCH PAPERS IN MY BOOK IN CHAPTER 22. THERE ARE LOTS OF DOCTORS USING MMS NOW. I CHALLENGE YOU OR ANY DOCTOR OR ANY SCIENTIST TO SHOW ME WHERE I AM WRONG. YOU CAN’T BECAUSE I HAVE THE SCIENCE AND CHEMISTRY CORRECT. READ MY BOOK INSTEAD OF TALKING WITH NO KNOWLEDGE AT ALL.–JimHumble

10 false statement-resistance to this ( if it works) cant happen-
RESISTANCE can and does build whenever ANY microbe killer is used. period. This ClO2 cannot and does not instantly kill every last “bad” microbe all at once…IF it did why then do you need it for so long????? the microbes that are NOT killed are very quickly reporducing and those survivors are passing along their genetic know-how to get STRONGER. For the same reasons antibiotics are a big cause of the resistant bacteria we now face, taking ANY killer will do the SAME.using anything that puts pressure on another living thing to adapt will cause genetic changes ( mutationally or simply gradually with reproduction). ALL living things have one prime directive : survive and reproduce–and they will find a way to do so.and it doesnt take much time either–a few hundred generation with some microbes—and that can occur fast–some microbes have a generation every few hrs.

Im guessing that with some more time I can even find for you microbes that lap up chlorine. many thought for so long nothing can grow with high methane- WRONG, high sulfur or temperatures-WRONG.nothing can grow in Ice- wrong- turns out that there is LIFE adapted to very last environment on Earth. And some are pathogenic in every area.

10. WRONG AGAIN ACCORDING TO BIOLOGISTS. FOR 100 YEARS CHLORINE DIOXIDE HAS BEEN USED TO STERILIZE HOSPITAL FLOORS, AND BENCHES, STERILIZE MEAT IN SLAUGHTER YARDS, AND CHICKEN SLAUGHTER HOUSES, AND KILL PATHOGENS IN THOUSANDS OF WATER PURIFICATION PLANTS. DURING THE 100 YEARS NO KNOWN PATHOGEN HAS EVER DEVELOPED A RESISTANCE TO CHLORINE DIOXIDE. ANTIBIOTICS KILL BY DESTROYING THE NUCLEUS. CHLORINE DIOXIDE KILLS BY BLOWING A HOLE IN THE SIDE OF THE PATHOGEN. ITS LIKE TRYING TO DEVELOP A RESISTANCE TO HAND GRENADES. YOU CAN’T. SORRY, BUT A NUMBER OF BIOLOGISTS HAVE AGREED THAT PATHOGENS SIMPLY WILL NEVER DEVELOP A RESISTANCE TO CHLORINE DIOXIDE. IT WASN’T MY IDEA.–JimHumble

11. people are being cured–well maybe they ARE and maybe not–but not from this–from what? placebo effect perhaps ( at what cost or risk), perhaps by other stuff theyve done previously–after all many who try this have failed many times on previous treatments…maybe all they needed was healing time.and what of the folks on it over a YEAR??? where is their CURE??? and to what long term effects??

Conclusion
am I therefore saying no one should use this or any other supposed miracle cure??? NO -its not for ME to say that. BUT when we are exhorting others to take the same risks we must be VERY sure we have given them ALL of the correct information and not putting OTHERS in harms way!

what I AM saying is that we must be much more careful about our “facts” and only then can we EACH decide in a fully informed manner which risks we each are willing to take. Id be happy to admit any errors on my part if you provide the substantiation.

and please dont compare to Rx drugs–when they dont tell us all the neg effects its as bad!! having information means WE become educated about the possible risks–whether its an RX drug or MMS–and when there are blatant false statements and bad science–we all have to stop and ask WHY

Im also pretty sure that if any of the so called miracle cures out there really are a global for-all cure, then we would all be “cured” . the fact that there are so many of us still ill proves to me that as yet it doesnt exists. Unfortunately for many illnesses, the individualness of the situation makes it that much LESS likely of a cure for all. so far all “universal” cure all havent stood the test of time.

IF any of you are truly feeling better after doing ANY cure, then may G-d Bless and may you continue to heal. BUT that doesnt mean that for others itd be a safe or healthy decision to do something so risky, especially blinded by the advice and what Ive read so far on this and other sites.

. we have to be willing to embrace facts even if theyre contrary to what you ‘believe’ or have ‘heard’ or seen as written by those wanting to sell their products.

continue to take, or do, what helps you but be open to the fact that you may be doing so at great risk and urging others to do the same while hiding ALL of the information ( including that which is opposite to your beliefs) is IMHO negligent.
and that would make us no better than Big Pharma who most of us can agree has a nasty habit of providing only the studies supporting their drugs while conveniently forgetting to print harmful outcomes!! Many of us would and DO take drugs with a long list of warnings…but at least we have been warned.

Denying the WHOLE truth about ANY new cure-all ( and ALL things have good and bad about them) does no one any good.the people losing kidneys after doing Salt/C and many others terribly ill on other regimens are now being blocked and booted off many sites for sharing their experiences–’too negative’ , ‘cant be true’ are the reasons. Is this what we want??

before simply accepting anything
first understand the basic science behind unbelievable claims, then investigate motive and if the inventor understands the good and bad effects and finally balance the risks with benefits–and IF at the outset many lies/exaggerations are told and the science is all wrong ask youselves–HOW can anything thats said then be trusted??

and thats one of many reasons why the Drs without Borders and the WHO etc arent going anywhere near this!!! too much is so very wrong they cant possibly take anything else seriously

and forget conspiracies—there are far MORE incentives ( monetary included) for any African nation to declare theyre cured Malaria!!!! and that cute little stunt on the MMS site stating poor Jim Humble is feared for his life??? marketing gimmick folks–right off the pages of several internet marketing classes!!!

be careful out there and QUESTION for Petes sake

11. MR.96341. THIS IS THE WORST STATEMENT OF ALL AS YOU HAVE BROKEN EVERY THING THAT YOU SAY SHOULD NOT BE BROKEN. YOU HAVE BROKEN YOUR OWN RULES. YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT CHLORINE DIOXIDE IS AND WHAT IT DOES AND IT’S CHARACTERISTICS EXCEPT YOU HAVE READ A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE PROBLEMS IN INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS WHERE IT IS USED MILLIONS OF TIME STRONGER THAT IN MMS.

SO YOU PUT UP A CONCLUSION, LET ME PUT UP A CONCLUSION: I GUESS I DON’T HAVE A VERY GOOD CONCLUSION. I JUST CAN’T FIGURE WHY SOMEONE WOULD MAKE SO MANY FALSE STATEMENTS. I DIDN’T SAY 90% OF WHAT YOU SAID I SAID, HOWEVER, I DID INDEED SAY THAT ALL THOSE PEOPLE WERE CURED IN AFRICA. IN AMERICA TODAY, MORE THAN 12,000 BOTTLES OF MMS ARE BEING SOLD EACH MONTH AND THAT NUMBER IS INCREASING EACH MONTH. YOU CAN’T POSSIBLE BELIEVE THAT PEOPLE ARE THAT DUMB. 90 PER CENT OF THE PEOPLE WHO BUY MY BOOK BUY IT BECAUSE OF REFERRALS FROM FRIENDS, AT LEAST THAT’S WHAT THE SAY WHEN THEY BUY THE BOOK. I DON’T SELL MMS. AND IF I MAKE ANY MONEY FROM THE SALES IT’S BECAUSE MONEY IS DONATED TO ME. SOME DO AND SOME DON’T.

MR. 96341 I HAVE PERSONALLY GIVEN THOUSANDS OF BOTTLES OF MMS, AND THE PEOPLE I HAVE PERSONALLY SEEN OVER 500 LIVES SAVED AND THOUSANDS OF OTHERS SAVED AT A DISTANCE. WHAT HAVE YOU DON’T OTHER THAN SCARE A FEW HUNDRED PEOPLE INTO CONTINUING TO SUFFER WHEN THEY COULD NOW BE WELL. PLEASE READ THESE ANSWERS AGAIN AND AGAIN AS YOU NEED TO APOLOGIZE SO THAT MOST OF THOSE PEOPLE YOU SCARED WILL NOT CONTINUE TO SUFFER. — JimHumble

MMS Misinformation: Skeptical of Skepticism

Good News Leaves a GREAT TASTE In the Mind

Facilitated by the internet, the MMS story has many people talking to each other, and listening who, 20 years ago, would never have even known each existed.

Indeed, if Jim Humble had stumbled upon this solution 25 years ago, it would have been easy for it to have fallen by the way side. After all, how might he have maintained almost real time pen pal relationships in people in Africa, or been able to garner world attention?

So that’s one of the great things about this conversation, even if we don’t always care for how it’s going. It’s going where it’s going, and we’re going for the ride.

Another letter from a skeptic was posted recently to the comment section on one of the MMS articles on this blog. They’re a bitch to read, not react to, and then have to respond to what I see as a deliberate attempt to misinform under the self-righteous pretense of informing. I guess the same could be said of me, or anyone who supports an idea that others may not agree with. So I’ll take the deliberate off the table. The information is still incorrect.

I could simply have deleted it, but such letters are sprayed around to a number of places, and will get read by people who are just learning about MMS. They are written because MMS is, on the whole, working for a growing number of people. As others see and experience the results, they are enthusiastically sharing. Then I imagine it’s a bitch for those who see the enthusiasm, who’d rather there be fear and distance from this inexpensive solution.

I think we’re moving beyond the fearfulness, but new people are learning about MMS every day, and those who know it works may sometimes prefer to get on with their lives.

New people are discovering that it’s working for them. New people are re-discovering and reawakening their health. Some folks would rather you be scared, if at all possible, out of “going there.”

HOLD ON… the phone just rang and it was a 73 year old man, Eddie from Florida, with whom I spoke several months ago.

He had a large growth on the side of his head (temple) that was officially diagnosed as a basal cell carcinoma. His MD began preparations to cut it out, but Eddie declined the doctor’s offer, and began using MMS, plus a number of other steps that have made his carcinoma disappear.

He started with 1 drop of MMS and ramped his way up to 15, staying there for roughly 40 days. He’s now taking 10 drops/day.

In addition to the MMS Eddie:

  • drank 1.5 GALLONS (6 liters) of high alkaline water each day. To make it, he added 10 teaspoons of baking soda to the water, to produce a pH of 8.5
  • added 2 tablespoons of chlorophyll
  • drank 3 teaspoons of living clay each day (high negative charge, draws out positively charged pathogens and parasites
  • took daily doses of hemp-based Omega 3

He said that he’s 70 going on 40. Oh yes, he went from using 4 inhalers for asthma each month to NONE. This is all documented by his doctor, who verified that he had the carcinoma. He promises to send me pictures. His blood pressure is now a very virile 140/80.

Eddie is one happy man! MMS wasn’t the whole of the story, but it would have been none of the story if Eddie didn’t KNOW for himself that this protocol, plus the other steps he took, would be helpful. You can say that it was all the steps he took, but none of it would have worked without Eddie’s resolve and commitment.

Now, do I really want to bring you down with a skeptic’s letter?

I don’t think so. In fact, I don’t want to bring you down at all, but while I responded in part to the letter referred to above in this week’s edition of Talk for Food, Jim Humble has responded to each point, which I’ll publish in a separate post. My guest for this show is renown biologist and consciousness researcher, Dr. Rupert Sheldrake, recorded just days after he had been stabbed in the leg by a man from the audience at a presentation in New Mexico. That’s a story unto itself.

Just So You KNOW: I DON’T Sell MMS

I am presently on a road trip to Northern California. My stops will include San Francisco, Los Gatos, Sacramento, and Fresno. It has already resulted in one interview for a future edition of Talk for Food, and promises to yield at least four more, and some video before I return home next Thursday.

I’m preparing for the next day of discovery, but need to put publish this announcement. A man left me a voice mail yesterday, wanting to ask about MMS that he had purchased. The seller indicated on their literature that the buyer should contact Al Antares, of Phaelos Mediawerks, and included my phone number. This product was sold on ebay.

Please NOTE: I have NO involvement with any MMS product sales.

And any seller that identifies itself as Phaelos Mediawerks is doing so fraudulently.

I called the buyer back and asked him to send me the link to the seller’s ebay auction.

I just sent the seller the following message:

Dear 1aja777,

Someone who bought your MMS called ME up asking about the product, which I do not sell. So I asked him why was he calling me, and he took out his sales literature and proceeded to recite MY company name and phone number, with Al Antares as the contact.

I asked him to send me the link to the seller, and that link led to you.

So my first question is why are you listing my information as contact for your company?

Actually, “why” is not as important as STOP. I’m in Northern California right now, and will be traveling through Stockton. If you’d like to explain your actions to me in person, please let me know. I will be up here through next Thurday. Regards, Adam Abraham, Phaelos Mediawerks.

If you are buying MMS on the ebay, I can’t stop you, but please note that I do not sell MMS, and while I will answer a question to the best of my ability when someone calls, it’s a sharing of information and my opinion only.

More later.

Thoughts on the Inner YOU

We are so practiced at looking at, and for external solutions to our problems, we quickly overlook ourselves. It’s funny in a non-amusing sort of way, since unless we’re taking an active lead part of our own solutions, our problems will never really go away.

Indeed, we generally focus our attention on the problem that we now “own,” hook, line, and sinker, which simply has the effect of weighing us down even more. The best way to mitigate and transmute a “problem” is to focus attention and energy on, and into that which we love. This is actually easier done than said.

I had a great interview the other day with Adele Britton, author of The Hokey Pokey IS What It’s All ABOUT for next week’s edition of Talk for Food. She’s in town preparing to do a relationship workshop this weekend. Adele is the first guest I’ve had whose philosophy is rooted in A Course in Miracles (ACIM), a volume that was received by Drs. Helen Schucman and William Thetford between 1965 and 1972. Gary Renard (The Disappearance of the Universe and Your Immortal Reality) will be my next guest who sings from the ACIM songbook. My conversation with Gary is a couple of weeks away, with the show going online sometime in May.

While I have not taken The Course, I now have the ACIM book. I credit reading Gary Renard’s Disappearance as a major influence for that acquisition, for I fully agree with its treatise on the power and necessity of forgiveness. We cannot “move on” or move up, harmonically speaking, unless we forgive.

There is no “way over yonder” without first being forgiving. As such, we give ourselves, individually and collectively, ample opportunities to forgive.

This is not to say that there is no love unless we forgive. There is always love. Forgiveness reconnects us… to the love that radiates from within ourselves. As that love *fills* us to overflowing, only then do we have the capacity to share it with others without being “depleted”.iambn cover art rgb

The ACIM book has some great points throughout about the physical body, and anyone who appreciates these thoughts will also appreciate the message conveyed in my book, I Am My Body, NOT!

I randomly picked up the ACIM book one day, and my attention was drawn to the following passage. This is GREAT stuff!

The Secret Vows

1. Who punishes the body is insane. For here the little gap is seen, and yet, it is not here. It (the body) has not judged itself, nor made itself to be what it is not. It does not seek to make of pain a joy and look for lasting pleasure in the dust. It does not tell you what its purpose is and cannot understand what it is for. It does not victimize, because it has not will, no preferences and no doubts. It does not wonder what it is. And so it has no need to be competitive. It can be victimized, but cannot feel itself as victim. It accepts no role, but does what it is told, without attack.

2. It is indeed a senseless point of view to hold responsible for sight a thing that cannot see, and blame it for the sounds you do not like, although it cannot hear. It suffers not the punishment you give because it has no feeling. It behaves in ways you want, but never makes the choice. It is not born and does not die. It can but follow aimlessly the path on which it has been set. And if that path is changed, it walks as easily another way. It perceives no gap, because it does not hate. It can be used for hate, but it cannot be hateful made thereby.

3. The thing you hate and fear and loathe and want, the body does not know. You send it forth to seek for separation and be separate. And then you hate it, not for what it is, but for the uses you have made of it. You shrink from what it sees and what it hears, and hate its frailty and littleness. And you despise its acts, but not your own. It sees and acts for you. It hears your voice. And it is frail and little by your wish. It seems to punish you, and thus deserve your hatred for the limitations that it brings to you. Yet you have made of it a symbol for the limitations that you want your mind to have and see and keep.

4. The body represents the gap between the little bit of mind you call your own and all the rest of what is really yours. You hate it, yet you think it is your self, and that, without it, would your self be lost. This is the secret vow that you have made with every brother who would walk apart. This is the secret oath you take again, whenever you perceive yourself attacked. No one can suffer if he does not see himself attacked, and losing by attack. Unstated and unheard in consciousness is every pledge to sickness. Yet it is a promise to another to be hurt by him, and to attack him in return.

5. Sickness is anger taken out on the body, so that it will suffer pain. It is the obvious effect of what was made in secret, in agreement with another’s secret wish to be apart from you, as you would be apart from him. Unless you both agree that is your wish, it can have no secrets. Whoever says, “There is no gap between my mind and yours” has kept God’s promise, not his tiny oath to be forever faithful until death. And by his healing is his brother healed.

6. Let this be your agreement with each one; that you be one with him and not apart. And he will keep the promise that you make with him, because it is the one that he has made to God, as God has made to him. God keeps His promises; His Son keeps his. In his creation did his Father say, “You are beloved of Me and I of you forever. Be you perfect as Myself, for you can never be apart from Me.” His Son remembers not that he replied, “I will,” though in that promise he was born. Yet God reminds him of it every time he does not share a promise to be sick, but lets his mind be healed and unified. His secret vows are powerless before the Will of God, Whose promises he shares. And what he substitutes is not his will, who has made promise of himself to God.

In I Am My Body, NOT! is the following passage about the skin:

My skin is a wondrous instrument; pliable, comfortable, and accommodating, as my size and shape changes throughout the many stages of my life. Self-healing and forgiving, it sets a wonderful example of how I should be toward others, and myself. But as wonderful as my skin it, it is not my body, and my body, is not me.

There is no time that is too early to begin hearing such ideas, whether we understand them at first impression or not. They are seeds that, when planted, can sprout into a love and appreciation of one’s form, and yet an understanding of who we are.

Look for my conversation with Adele Britton on Talk for Food next week.

Overlooked Key to Healing: The YOU Factor

The MMS community continues to reposition, reconfigure, and define itself as “the news” about chlorine dioxide spreads and sometimes, the debates continue. Indeed, the MMS evolution is producing news that, even today, on first glance, sounds too good to be true. I’m not here to tell you otherwise. I am here to tell you that the news that you get and make, will be your own.

This dictum isn’t limited to MMS. It applies to every modality that you choose. If you are taking a conscious, natural, and non-toxic approach to mitigating a health problem, your journey is going to be your own, and you will be the most important factor in your ultimate success.

Many who are learning about MMS are looking for it to be “the answer” to their particular issue. Used as directed, it will do no harm. In fact, it will provide a necessary and beneficial service by lowering the pathogen load that the body is carrying by oxidation while leaving healthy tissue and cells unaffected.

In that sense, it will do great good, given the levels of toxicity and parasiticity that have become the rule, and no longer the exception in our culture. However, chlorine dioxide will always play a supporting role to the real star. That’s you in your life and me in mine.

For chlorine dioxide to work for you, you must be ready to allow yourself to receive the full benefit of its effects. This is done by issuing permission to the trillions of cells that make up your body, for them to cooperate fully with the chlorine dioxide brigade that you’ll be introducing, so as to facilitate full and complete access to all areas where pathogens and parasites are located.

How do you give your cells permission to cooperate fully with MMS (or anything else that you take)? You do so by first accepting that you’re where you are now because they’ve been listening to you, and trying to give you want you said you wanted.

This statement doesn’t just apply to your cellular population. It applies to your entire reality, as it applies to mine. If I prefer that certain aspects of my life experience play out differently from the way they are, it’s from an acknowledgment that my choices — including attitudes and beliefs, as well as actions — got me here. Instead of casting judgment on myself for having done something “wrong,” the issue for the moment is where do I want to go now? What do I now want to experience? The questions are asked with a knowing that the direction I desire is within my power to live. How to actually get to this new place of experience is not even necessary. I leave those details to my guiding Spirit/Higher Self/God.

It really is all about you.

How many times have you said, “I’m sick and tired of…!” The subject itself doesn’t even matter. If you have a pattern of being overwhelmed by life experiences, your cells will configure themselves to accommodate the worldview. With a shift of perspective, they will just as willingly reconfigure. There’s no judgment involved. YOU are their Lord and Master. They are ALWAYS listening to YOU, and wishing to carry out YOUR will. If you think that you are vulnerable to infection and disease, then so shall YOU be. But won’t you wonder why the guy or gal next to you is also exposed, but not affected?

Being “sick and tired of being sick and tired” won’t change things either. It’ll simply leave you sick and tired. However, being ready to enjoy your life, here and now, changes everything. This simple shift of consciousness sends an entirely different message to your cellular population.

Joy and laughter brings new energy and light that activate healthy emotional and electromagnetic patterns for the body’s reformation to build around. These patterns are invisible, but quite real. A willingness to set aside festering resentment and judgment returns the warmth of the heart, shedding its light over a landscape of consciousness that had grown barren, fearful, and gray.

This is the unseen process of choosing life that precedes and precipitates a return to health. MMS can’t do these things for you. Only you can. Only you know whether you’re doing it, or even if you believe you can. If you don’t even believe in yourself, you don’t have a chance. And yet, the moment that you do, you do.

These traits are innate to every human being. They apply to matters of health and wealth, and are central to our well-being. They are independent of nation, race, politics, and religion, and yet apply to all.

We are all a people at war, not with each other, but with ourselves. The others that we fight are mere proxies of ourselves. The vengeance that we seek to root out evil, is that which we refuse to see in ourselves. And yet, when we stop and actually look, we’ll realize that it’s not evil that we stare into, but a frightened child who thinks it is not loved. All “evil” is, in actuality, a call for love. When we respond with fear, the call simply keeps coming.

Disease is a manifestation of an inner conflict that needs to be resolved, not only physically, but mentally and emotionally as well.

At the same time, we are all imbued with the power to be healers, diplomats, and peacemakers. As we appreciate and understand more fully who and what we are, the disease we will have overcome simply becomes a way by which to confirm to ourselves that our own mastery is real.

As you master your disease, you’ll know you’re on to something wonderful.

Heat or Not, I’m Stayin’ In the Kitchen

In the span of a half hour, three emails reached my in-box with content that, on first glance, feels worse than spam. Caustic, criticism from a reader, “Bob,” who disagrees with articles that he’s read on this site. And he has no compunctions about saying so!

The emails didn’t come all at once, so the first one was the most shocking. After reading MMS: Shift is Happening Bob wrote:

Adam Abraham is possibly the dumbest “health” commentator I’ve ever heard.

Criminy man! Put down the bong and go (back?) to school and get an education!

I deleted it.

I thought about it for a few moments before hand, and then did the deed. I thought about it more afterwards, but the deed had been done.

A few minutes later, there was another email from “Bob”. Now I’m on alert.

After reading “MMS and Prostate Cancer: Context Change, MMS and Prostate Cancer: Context Change, ‘Woo Woo’ and Common Sense Bob wrote:

What a steaming load of crap, Adam! So everyone is “toxic” and that’s what causes disease?

Pass the bong, soul brother! (but not to me…I’m not on the same “karma” or whatever the hell you call this verbal diarrhea.)

I thought about deleting that too, but I couldn’t. Why not look at what he’s saying? What is my real issue with it? Outside of it being crude, unflattering, and disrespectful, why take away his chance to express himself?

I still didn’t like it, and so I responded to him via the comment box:

Yo Bob,

Sorry I deleted your first one, it was “toxic,” if you know what I mean.

And frankly, if I can’t handle your boorish, infantile way of expressing your own lack of understanding or agreement with my point of view, then I shouldn’t be doing this. I say things from my perspective, as you do from yours. It doesn’t mean we’ll agree, which is okay. Yet, even in disagreement, I’d never approach you, a complete stranger, with such an aggressive, antagonism. You don’t know me Bob. But more so, you don’t know yourself. If you did, you’d done this differently. In fact, could simply have stopped reading or listening, and moved on. But something touched YOU, hit TOO CLOSE TO HOME, and you had to strike back.

It won’t work… won’t get you any peace by trying to lash out at me.

If you want to have an intelligent conversation, I’m all for it. But then, you’d have to show simple respect for another human being… something you’re not doing right now.

Regards,

Adam…

I realized then that this kind of thing had moved from the realm of “could” happen, to what was happening right now. This wasn’t the first time, but it’s never pleasant, and I don’t see myself “wanting” it to happen. However, so what if it does? It’s not my problem!

That realization was liberating.

I knew some people would react to what I wrote strongly, as the idea that we are responsible for our thoughts, and that said thoughts both influence and form our reality, is a hard pill to take. Far easier it seems to be thoughtless and powerless like Bob.

So when his third email came in responding to MMS DVD Price Change and Book Plans, I was okay with it.

Hey Adam, how much for just the Jim Humble footage, WITHOUT ALL THE BS “PHAELOSOPHISING”?

Why don’t you get your phony-”doctor” Mark Sircus friend to help you with the grammar. That’s what he does best! …..YAP.

There’s an interesting story behind why I chose the spelling of “phaelosopher” and “phaelos” that is anything but “BS”… but then again, it’s all a matter of perspective. It’s also evident that Bob is an equal opportunity vitriolic. He has enough ire left over to spread some on Mark Sircus, who wrote Transdermal Magnesium Therapy, to which I am editor and publisher.

Looking at the effect of my words and deeds on others, I’m okay. In fact, I’ll even suggest here that Bob has just had an awakening, for which he became rude. It was an awakening nonetheless. Agree or disagree with me (which is absolutely NOT necessary or expected), he will NEVER see things quite the same.

So… there’s hope.
