Health
Recent forum comments mused why Ramana and Nisargadatta died of cancer. Personal health definitely fires up the mind to thinking, "it shouldn't oughta be this way". Does any non-dual wisdom filter into health?
Non-duality's relevance to Health
Let's call it a Western Health Bias. We live in a time of radical shifts in "health knowledge". What was in vogue yesterday is no longer honored, and who's to say that what we believe today will not be quickly out dated. Yet traditional societies lived in stable health paradigms for 1000's of years, and even now small populations live long and disease free lives in many parts of the world. Something must be missing in the formula of modern society.
It is easy to notice that we live in an "additive culture". We are used to searching for something to put in-or-on a condition. It never crosses our mind to take something out of the formula. We may have heard people say that resentment, anger and fear, or eating industrialized or fast foods, chemical food additives, pesticides in food, artificial sweeteners, etc. etc. etc. up to countless modern-day life style choices, cause cancer. But who would ever do a comprehensive test on it? Who would get it passed by the FDA? There is nothing to patent. There is nothing to put on the shelf of your drug store, nothing to run million dollar advertising campaigns about. A doctor won't say, "go home and throw up, and don't eat that crap anymore." Even the government won't promulgate this type of "native intelligence" because it will create a black hole in the economy of our additive culture.
Marc Newkirk, Stress that is not discharged becomes part of our "Identity"
After setting some background on the reality of para-normal experiences this talk discusses the mechanism of our communication with our own body and the cells in our body. This communication takes presidence over the DNA, which is just the tendancy or potential for cell reproduction. He defines stress as un-discharged negative thoughts. Since they are still active in our system, they become part of our identity. It is this identity that instructs the renewal of our cells, and when it is warped (by what we usually call conditioning), that is reflected in an aged and sickened body. It is a pretty radical "responsibility" for our condition, and not that difficult to imagine improving.

Water Structures that work best in plant and animal tissue
I have mentioned in several talks some personal experiments with water. Not original research, but experimenting with what others are saying. This is my process through the various insights, and the personal feedback or result that I have experienced.
Here is a link and a bunch of movies on the water mixer that I talked about.

Treating Dry Eyes with Surgery
What are dry eyes?
Dry eyes are one of the most common eye problems that afflict the general population today. It is one of more common eye conditions we encounter in our offices in New York and New Jersey. It can affect people of any age from the very young to the very old. However, its effect and magnitude are usually advanced with age. The reduction in the moisture of the eyes causes an uncomfortable feeling often described as a “foreign body sensation”. It can also cause reduction in vision due to interference with light transmission into the eyes.
Treatment:
The most common treatment is the use of artificial tears. Artificial tears provide only a temporary relief, and in order to be truly effective the drops need to be used very often. Therefore, this option may not be very practical for most patients. The reason for this has to do with the functioning of the eyes and with the continuous emptying of the tears into the nasal cavity via a tubing system called the Puncta. When the artificial tears are put into the eyes they moisturize the eyes, but soon the fluid is drained and the eye becomes dry again.

Beautiful Wisdom for Healing
You probably can tell, I am constantly impressed by Andreas Moritz's insights, This from 
Smoking and other Addictions
Addiction - An Unconscious Signal of Not Being in Control, Andreas Moritz
This content is an excerpt from Timeless Secrets of Health and Rejuvenation by Andreas Moritz
(His book Timeless Secrets is so full of wisdom.)
If you are substance addicted, your addiction may be accompanied or caused by the inability to fulfill one or more of your deepest desires. Although unconscious of it, you begin to accept the idea that there is a power beyond your control that stops you from achieving your dreams, big or small. You may even admit self-defeat by maintaining the belief that it is just too difficult for you to give up old habits like smoking, drinking alcohol or eating addictive foods.
Many smokers argue that they cannot quit smoking if they constantly see other people smoking. Others do not want to face the possibly unbearable withdrawal symptoms that may accompany a sudden abstinence from smoking. Quite a lot of people managed to quit smoking, but when they suddenly put on a lot of weight, they resumed the habit.
EFT Video with Michael Hall PhD
Michael Hall has investigated and used EFT for 10 years. About 8 years ago a shift in consciousness prompted him to emphasize other aspects of healing and counseling. He still is proficient with Emotional Freedom Techniques and he filmed this workshop in September of 2007.
Healing
Let's look at healing, in a broad sense. On first sight it looks so opposed to non-duality. Healing can contain
- healing from pain
- It takes time
- The personal
- practices
- becoming healthy
- a rawness that doesn't look spiritual
Or is it just the healing concept that differs from the non-duality concept? Maybe healing is a process that we all share as humans. Then it's impersonal and only in this moment.
What's your feedback? Do we need to reconcile concepts? Or is it just the mind that seeks coherence?
Emotional Freedom Technique "Proves" non Duality
To me Emotional Freedom Technique, EFT has relevance to non-duality, because it graphically demonstrates that longstanding emotional disorders and many many physical manifestations don't exist, as entities. They exist more as illusions. (They exist, but not as your mind thinks they do.) Some that have known about EFT have told me, " Oh, that's only about fixing yourself". But I say no, that it is a doorway to understanding illusion. If problems are an illusion, so are pleasures. If life is an illusion, well, that doesn't devalue it in any way? It just makes it totally flexible. Life becomes a game that you can play as a master.
This gets us closer to a felt understanding when non-dualists sometimes say "nothing really happened" or "nothing exists". If you can't call that an understanding, at least you can say there is a relaxation around that concept of 'nothing', and one isn't so obsessed about getting an answer, "what do you mean that nothing exists"?
If Diseases don't exist as Disease
You might know that I was thunderstruck by "Cancer is not a Disease" by Andreas Moritz. We also got some strong reactions on the forum post like this comment:
Quote Cleansing the body of accumulated toxins and waste products through the various cleansing methods advocated in my book Timeless Secrets of Health and Rejuvenation removes the need for cancer. unquote. .... just a well written scam with a spiritual touch to it if you ask me, we're all so eager to believe cool stories.....
Well I did not want to believe it either, so I read Moritz's "Liver Flush" and am reading his "Timeless Secrets". You have to hand it to him. Whereas physicists have been trying for years to come up with a "theory of everything" where all known observations are explained, Moritz has sort of done it with health. The physicists attempts are cumbersome and completely complicated. Moritz has a simple set of principles that really seem exquisite.
Well, I wanted to experiment with what he said, and the main drum that he beats on is cleaning the liver. I completed his proscribed liver flush this weekend with astonishing results, and it was so completely simple.
