In this TEDtalk, Lissa Rankin explores the spiritual and scientific implications that the placebo effect has over us. She discusses how our thoughts powerfully affect our physiology when we believe we can get well.
The placebo effect is concrete evidence that the body has its own innate self repair system.
A study was conducted with 3500 participants who had all been diagnosed with an incurable disease like cancer, HIV, various heart diseases, etc. Through the placebo effect, everyone’s illness had all disappeared without treatment.
Lissa goes on to talk about a specific case about a man named Mr. Wright, who had been given drugs that he truly believed would cure his cancer. Within days his tumors shrunk to half their size!
After a report was released stating the drug didn’t actually work, Mr. Wright’s cancer came back. His doctor sneakily told him that he had a higher quality version of the drug, and injected Mr. Wright with nothing more than water. Again, his tumors went away because he believed they would.
In this TEDtalk, Lissa describes some of the countless occurrences with measurable proof where people actually cure themselves. They grow back hair, heal their ulcers, shrink tumors, and diminish all signs of sickness! Even though this healing is initiated by the mind, the body really reacts.
Zeitgeist: Moving Forward is the third installment in Peter Joseph's Zeitgeist film trilogy.[1] The film was launched for free on the internet starting January 26, 2011.[2] As of August 2013, the film has over 21 million views on YouTube.[2]
The film is arranged into four parts. Each part is an amalgam of interviews, narration and animated sequences.
Part I: Human Nature
The film begins with an animated sequence narrated by Jacque Fresco.
He describes his adolescent life and his discontinuation of public
education at the age of 14. He continues to express that his radical
views developed as a result of experiences during the Great Depression
and World War II. Studying the social sciences, mechanical and social
engineering, architecture among numerous other fields of study for 75
years have, Fresco states, failed to alter this initial, radical,
disposition, which he continues to outline in greater detail later in
the film.
The discussion turns to human behavior and the nature vs. nurture debate. This portion begins with a small clip with Robert Sapolsky summing up the nature vs. nurture debate
in which he essentially refers to it as a "false dichotomy." After
which he states that "it is virtually impossible to understand how
biology works, outside the context of environment." The film goes on to
describe that it is neither nature nor nurture that solely shapes human
behavior, but the combination of both. The interviewed pundits state
that even with genetic predispositions to diseases, the expression and
manifestation of disease is largely determined by environmental
stressors, including topics such as epigenetics and Gene–environment interactions. Disease, criminal activity and addictions are also discussed. A reference is made to unborn children who were in utero during the Dutch famine of 1944.
The "Dutch Famine Birth Cohort Study" is mentioned to have shown that
obesity and other health complications became common problems later in
life, due to prolonged starvation of their mother during pregnancy.[3]
Comparisons are made by sociologists of criminals in different parts of the world. An Anabaptist sect called the Hutterites
are mentioned to have never reported a homicide in any of their
societies. The overall conclusion of Part I is that social environment
and cultural conditioning play a large part in shaping human behavior.
Part II: Social Pathology
The origins of our modern economic paradigm are explored, beginning with John Locke and Adam Smith. In Two Treatises of Government, John Locke lays out the fundamental principles of private ownership of land, labor and capital. In The Wealth of Nations, Adam Smith uses the term invisible hand as a means to explain how an individual's self-interest benefits society as a whole.[4]
A critical view of economic theory is made by questioning the need for
private property, money and the inherent inequality between agents in
the system. Also seen critically is the need for cyclical consumption in order to maintain market share which results in wasted resources and Planned obsolescence.
The other component is the monetary economy. The monetary system
regulates the money supply and interest rates by buying/selling
treasuries. More critical views of the monetary system are explained.
According to the movie, the current monetary system can only result in
default or hyperinflation, because when money comes into existence it is
created by loans at interest. The existing money supply is only the
principal. The interest to pay the loan that created the money does not
exist in the money supply and must be borrowed repetitively in order to
service the debt. Due to this exponential money supply growth, Zeitgeist
information says the value of money is destroyed as evidenced by the
96% devaluation of the U.S. money supply since the Federal Reserve was
chartered in 1914 and 80% devaluation since the U.S. ended the Bretton
Woods agreement in 1971.[5][6]
Part III: Project Earth
As with Zeitgeist: Addendum,
the film presents a "resource-based economy" as advocated by Jacque
Fresco discussing how human civilization could start from a new
beginning in relation to resource types, locations, quantities, to
satisfy human demands; track the consumption and depletion of resources
to regulate human demands and maintain the condition of the environment.
Various technologies for improving civilization under the
resource-based economy are discussed.
Part IV: Rise
The world state of affairs is described in a dire light. A case is
presented that pollution, deforestation, climate change, overpopulation,
and warfare are all created and perpetuated by the socioeconomic
system. Various poverty statistics are shown that suggest a progressive
worsening of world culture. According to the United Nations, currently 18,000 children a day die from starvation.[7] Also according to the UN, global poverty rates have doubled since the 1970s.[8]
The movie closes with a standoff between protesters on the streets of Times Square
in New York City facing off against police in riot gear while in the
midst of global economic depression. People withdraw trillions of
dollars from the world’s central banks, then dump the money at the doors
of the banks. The police stand down. The final scene of the film shows a
partial view of earth from space, followed by a sequence of
superimposed statements; "This is your world" which is repeated.
More Than an Apple a Day: Combating Common Diseases
Dr. Greger has scoured the world’s scholarly literature on clinical
nutrition and developed this brand-new live presentation on the latest
in cutting-edge research on how a healthy diet can affect some of our
most common medical conditions.
http://www.DrKrupka.com
Dr. Krupka gives a detailed account of how Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is
affected by vitamin D levels and Viral history. This is some serious
content and worth watching more than once. If you have an autoimmune
disease or know someone who does, grab your pen and paper to take notes
and change your life!
One of the things I finally come to realize is how very much I like
things that go FAST. Ever notice how fast talk? Yeah, faster than that.
It makes my body happy and makes my whole being go Who-Hooooo! I now have a new fast friend: a motorcycle. Oh! I can hear some of you go: “Eeeeeek!” in your head. That’s
perfect and that’s exactly what I will address in this video I’m sharing
with you today. The reaction we have all created around some things in
our life that stop us from the JOY that we could truly have.
How many points of view do you have that have nothing to do with what is actually true for you?
What’s stopping you from adding more joy to your life? Are you willing to have the intensity of joy in your life?
If you’re willing to look at this, here’s
the series on going beyond judgment to create more joy in our lives:
Here’s the Tool for Today:What is it that you would do
just for the joy of it, that because nobody else does it for the joy of
it, you won’t even consider it or have stopped doing it? And, start
doing it!
Stop Defending and Start Living
I am back with part two of my Motorcycle Diaries... This time, we're going to dive a bit deeper into that judgment thing...
Let's start with just the word RIDING. Nice little word with a god zillion connotations...
For
example, if say that "I am going to ride my motorcycle" does that
create a different energy than if I say "I am going to ride my horse"?
Especially if I add that I am going to "ride my white horse" ---- no
even better "ride my white stallion".
Notice that those few words push one or two buttons? And create something in your mind?
Who
or what are you defending for or against that if you didn't would allow
you to have all of you, as you always desired to BE?
PS. You know, I actually have a white stallion, named Gitano. :-) You can meet him in this little video if you like:
Have you had one of those moments when you're completely present and
fully ALIVE and totally grateful? Of course. What would it be like if
that was what your living looked like? Every day?
This greeting is from one of those moments for me, in the midst of a sunny California Winters Day.
I
thought of you all and wanted to convey the energy of that, the space
of that and a question that may, if you're willing, open up for EVEN
MORE of that in your life.
Did you watch it?
Now, go and find a phone! I know I did, as soon as I got home. What else is possible this year that has never been possible before?
The Five Steps to Changing Anything
So here we go! Here is the third and last part of my Motorcycle Diaries,
with the FIVE STEPS to actually start changing what doesn't work for
you and start creating YOUR REALITY.
Yes, YOUR reality. It is actually different from almost everyone else's....
So
you really should not watch this video. I mean, things could start
changing. Things could get easier. You could become as different as you
truly be. You could start creating the life you always desired
and...your future.
That would be bad. Really bad. Did you watch? Even though I warned you? Yes! What else is possible now?
Here’s the tool: The Five Steps to Change Anything 1) First – Make a DEMAND 2) Next – Ask a QUESTION 3) Third – Wave the MAGIC wand (POC & POD) 4) Now CHOOSE – and ACT! ( you have to DO something – take some action) 5) Finally, RECEIVE everything What can inspire you today that you haven’t ever acknowledged? Sunny regards, Dain
When
a devastating event occurs in our world, like the recent shootings in
Connecticut, or when something tragic occurs in your own life…that’s
when these tools I share with you are beyond helpful. What are the tools
of Access Consciousness for, if not to use in the trenches?
When everyone else is running around freaking out, acting like
there’s no anchor for them and going into the trauma and drama that
never actually changes anything…these tools give you a different
perspective and a different possibility. They give you a different sense of peace
when everyone else feels like they’re going crazy. The beauty of that
is, when you function from that sense of peace, when you have a
different awareness, you become a rock that lets others know that there’s a different possibility available. In this video, I share more tools on how to create consciousness in any situation. So my friends, what if we lived in a world where, if anybody saw the
warning signs, or noticed bullying, or abuse or violence, they had the
tools to create consciousness and awareness in the situation?
What if, what this was, was an invitation to make the demand that we
truly create a world where no one would ever consider choosing this?
What if it’s an invitation and a demand that we actually start using the
tools to create the consciousness we’re here to create? What if NOW is
truly the time?
Here are the tools for today, questions to change the energy in any situation:
What possibility is this presenting that I’ve never even considered?
What demand is this placing in my world to create the world I’d really like to see?
What if you realized beyond a shadow of a doubt that it’s your contribution that will allow the world to change?
What if it’s all of our contribution together that will allow the world to change?
The Kingdom of We
This time I'd like to talk to you about something called The Kingdom of We...
The
way I see it, this reality isn't working, not for us and not for the
planet. The recent shootings at the school in Newtown, USA—that I talked
about in the previous installment of this series—is just one small
example of what is going on here, on our planet—on our watch!
Something completely different is required. What if we—together—are what is required? Our amazing capacities, our phenomenal potency, kindness, gratitude and caring?
I don't have the answers. I am not a guru and I am definitely not perfect.
What
I know is that I will keep asking questions. I will not stop. And I
suspect, since you are still here, and still looking for more, that you
are not stopping either. That is part of the amazing gift you are!
We
have chosen to be here, now, at the time of the greatest change, to be
part of creating a world of consciousness. I don't know what that will
look like. I just know...now is the time.
What is it that you know, that you've been denying that you know, that if you were willing to know it, could change EVERYTHING?
What if this is just the beginning?
Having Your Back
I keep re-reading some of your responses to my last installment with tears in my eyes... Thank you... It is such a gift knowing that people like you exist and BE in the world.
I'd like to share some lines from one particular email with you, that made my whole day more beautiful....
"Thank you for sharing this video... I had tears in my eyes. Suddenly all that I have been ridiculed for over the past twenty odd years was wiped out! I just feel so alive and right about myself...Thank you."
What if that is what we can be for each other? The end of all wrongness?
Here
comes the last video in this years Special Holiday Edition. It is about
friendship and about having someone's back, most appropriately so.
Just one more thing... What if consciousness has your back?
FLUORIDEGATE AN AMERICAN TRAGEDY (1:05:05) A DOCUMENTARY FILM. By Dr. David Kennedy
WWW.FLUORIDEGATE.ORG
FLUORIDEGATE
the movie is a new documentary film that reveals the tragedy of how the
United States government, industry, and trade associations protect and
promote a policy known to cause harm to our country and especially small
children, who suffer more than any other segment of the population.
While the basis of their motivation remains uncertain, the outcome is
crystal clear: it is destroying our nation.
David Kennedy DSS "I can think of no better way to destroy
a nation that to spread toxins far and wide.In the 70s we learned just how bad lead is for us after being exposed
for more than 50 years.Now we’re adding
silica fluoride to the drinking water, and that sucks lead into the bodies of
the children. We have babies that are dying. 17,900 more babies die early in
life than they should…or otherwise if we had protected the water supply…” Very
powerful last statement; watch the ending for the full statement. I highly recommend watching the entire film,
which is one hr. Nothing is more
important than your health and well being, and your responsibility for your
children’s health who rely on you to get informed to make healthy choices!
Internationally renowned natural health physician and Mercola.com founder Dr. Joseph Mercola and Dr. Bill Osmunson discuss the need for proper dental hygiene.
Resonance - Beings of Frequency (documentary film)
(Full Film) RESONANCE ➜ This James
Russell film is a Sensational Eye Opening Documentary that examines 60
years of scientific research! ➜ Join the FACEBOOK page http://goo.gl/yf4Qs ➜ James Russell (Director + Producer) james@flatfrogfilms.com http://www.FlatFrogFilms.com
This
spectacular documentary uncovers for the very first time, the actual
mechanisms by which mobile phone technology can cause cancer. And, how
every single one of us is reacting to the biggest change in environment
this planet has ever seen.
Two billion years ago life first
arrived on this planet; a planet, which was filled with a natural
frequency. As life slowly evolved, it did so surrounded by this
frequency. and Inevitably, it began tuning in.
By the time
mankind arrived on earth an incredible relationship had been struck; a
relationship that science is just beginning to comprehend.
Research
is showing that being exposed to this frequency is absolutely integral
to us. It controls our mental and physical health, it synchronizes our
circadian rhythms, and it aids our immune system and improves our sense
of well being.
Not only are we surrounded by natural frequencies,
our bodies are filled with them too. Our cells communicate using electro
magnetic frequencies. Our brain emits a constant stream of frequencies
and our DNA delivers instructions, using frequency waves. Without them
we couldn't exist for more than a second.
This delicate balance
has taken billions of years to perfect. But over the last 25 years the
harmony has been disturbed. and disturbed dramatically.
Mankind
has submerged itself in an ocean of artificial frequencies. They are all
around us, filling the air and drowning out the earth's natural
resonance.
To the naked eye the planet appears to be the same.
But at a cellular level it is the biggest change that life on earth has
endured; the affects of which we are just starting to see and feel.
This is why I believe spending time outside barefoot, and during colder months having a grounding mat is so essential for our health.
★ Enjoy the DVD Many
people who are too electro sensative to watch the film online have
contacted me so I have made a DVD available. can you please put a link
to this also
If you have a friend or family member on medication for those conditions, they should watch this video. Find out what some of those drugs do to the body in the short and long term!
“Doctored”
The Movie reveals the hidden truth behind the chiropractic profession’s
struggle to be recognized as authentic health professionals. This
documentary is FREE TO WATCH until November 17, 2012. Take this
opportunity to learn how modern medicine restricts your access to one
of, in my personal opinion, the most effective healing techniques in the
world. I am deeply honored to be part of this movie.

Did you know that while the United States makes up only five percent
of the world's population, we consume over 50 percent of all the world's
pharmaceutical drugs?
This sobering statistic and much more is revealed in Jeff Hays' documentary film, Doctored.
The primary focus of the film is on the chiropractic profession and
its long-standing struggle to be recognized as authentic health
professionals. In the 1980's, chiropractors were still by and large
viewed as quacks whose treatments were unscientific and potentially
dangerous. Worse yet, chiropractors were also derided as 'cultists' at a
time when Charles Manson and his cult followers wrought terror in
California, and Jim Jones persuaded his followers to drink the Kool-Aid
spiked with deadly poison. Yes, chiropractors were tossed in with this charming lot!
However, this bizarre consensus reality in which chiropractors were
deemed "unscientific cultists" on par with some of the most heinous
criminals in US history was, as the evidence shows, doctored by the
medical industry at the behest of Big Pharma. As stated in the beginning
of the film:
"There's been a deliberate campaign to label anybody who doesn't sell or distribute drugs, surgery or radiation as a quack."
Supreme Court Found AMA GUILTY of Conspiracy to Destroy Chiropractic Industry
The modern medical system is committed to branding virtually all
serious competition to their flawed model by labeling it 'quackery.' But
what most people fail to realize is that this effort is rather like the
witch hunts of old, which claimed the lives of tens of thousands of men
and women in possession of priceless knowledge and understanding of the
healing powers of the natural world. That extermination of ancient
wisdom no doubt helped drive mankind deep into ignorance, setting the
people of the West on a path that would quickly sever our innate
connection with Nature.
The results of this separation from time honored ancient healing
practices and our ignorance of our symbiotic place within the natural
world are clearly evident today...
The film includes the groundbreaking and historical case of Wilk vs.
The American Medical Association (AMA) – a case in which the AMA was
ultimately found guilty of an illegal conspiracy to "contain and eliminate the chiropractic profession,"
in 1984. The Supreme Court ordered the AMA to cease their illegal
treatment of the chiropractic profession, and in the years since,
chiropractic has slowly but surely established its usefulness and
scientific merit. Still, there's plenty of room for improvement.
Doctored includes eye-opening interviews not only with
chiropractic and osteopathic doctors (including myself), it also talks
to surgeons, MD's, pharmaceutical sales reps, and high-profile patients
like Olympic Gold Medalist Picabo Street and John Stockton from the NBA
Hall of Fame who regularly challenged my favorite player Michael Jordan,
as well as regular patients who went looking for a better way to
achieve health.
All in all, the testimony spells out the point of the film, which is
that conventional medicine, backed and ruled by the pharmaceutical
industry, is corrupt to the core and frequently does more harm than
good, while simultaneously protecting their business and hiding its
ineffectiveness by suppressing legitimate, safe, and effective
alternative or complementary practices such as chiropractic.
What is the Solution?
Doctored clearly spells out the solution to the problem:
The public must have the right to learn the truth about what health really is
You need to take more personal responsibility for your health
This is the very core of my personal mission. Virtually every article on this site is focused on how to optimize your health
by embracing a few basic tenets of truth. Health is about much more
than the masking of symptoms! True health is a state of optimal
functioning, physically, mentally, emotionally, and you could even throw
in spiritually, if you really want to achieve the highest pinnacle of
health and inner harmony and well-being. Clearly, conventional medical science has its place. If you're in a
car accident, your nearest trauma center is a blessing that can save
your life. However, to believe that you can create good health by taking
drugs to mask your symptoms is a dangerous pipe dream. It simply won't
happen.
What DOES Make You Healthy?
While science can and will discover techniques and strategies that
can be profoundly beneficial for your health, there are certain
foundational basics that are unlikely to ever change, and these include:
Optimize insulin and leptin
levels through minimizing your sugar, processed food and grain
carbohydrates and replacing them with healthy fats such as butter,
animal fat, coconut oil, avocados, seeds and nuts.
Eat a healthy diet of whole organic foods, and pay careful
attention to keeping your insulin levels down by avoiding sugar/fructose
and grains. I make this easy with my recently updated and free Nutrition Plan.
The pharmaceutical industry, the food industry, and even government
itself, will not make it easy for you to avoid the garbage that ruins
your health, but remember, leading a common sense, healthy lifestyle is
your best bet to produce a healthy body and mind, and increase
your longevity. And best of all, YOU have the power to change your own
lifestyle to make sure the 10 foundational basics listed above are
covered.
