Mind over body

Virus as a trigger for prostate cancer? (First published in German 2010)

This is the headline of a report in the Apothekenrundschau (Pharma news) from December 2009. It goes on to say... "Researchers have found new clues...etc. etc. etc... I noticed the article because I read the headline somewhere "Bald men get it less often, you know." I googled it and entered the search terms "image" and "prostate cancer". The result is not amazing. Actually rather what was to be expected, a bunch of rubbish being spread. 

But read for yourself: Men who drink beer are said to protect themselves against prostate cancer. According to an article in the "Bild-Zeitung" on June 14, 2006... The sensational discovery by cancer researcher Dr. John Coy... Sept. 1, 2009 ... In the new large series, BILD presents the first anti-cancer nutrition from ... Prostate cancer Young bald men less at risk ... Ostthüringer Zeitung Recognize prostate cancer by protein in the urine... *Bild Zeitung: Is there a vaccination against prostate cancer? Last week I discovered this report in a leftover "Bild" newspaper. ... Is there a vaccine against prostate cancer?

Last week I discovered this report in a leftover "Bild" newspaper. ... Jan. 10, 2004 ... that masturbation should protect men from prostate cancer. The source was "Medical Tribune". Tough, but honest: quality of life despite prostate cancer .... According to a report in the "Bild" newspaper on Wednesday, the Marburg doctors' organization fears ... Prostate diseases are widespread ailments, especially among the eldely and old .... As a result, a large nationwide publication by the Bild newspaper ... Oct. 31, 2008 ...

The BILD newspaper of January 14, 2010 has the headline “Doctors collapse! ... Fight against prostate cancer: ALTA Klinik is developing a new method for the early diagnosis of ... 

 As it looks like, at least neither the Bildzeitung nor the Apothekenrundschau currently knows a panacea for prostate cancer. But one thing is known, in order to even get cancer, the mind must first be prepared. At least that's what I claim. 

What do the men without bald heads think? Exactly. And who do not practice masturbation? Exactly. And what do men who don't drink beer do? Oh, oh, prostate cancer, I hear you trapping... I know that the mind controls the body. 

And that is not only generally known in many cases, I have also experienced it umpteen times on my own body. And it is precisely this spiritual guidance that harbors the great danger. Unfortunately, the mass media spread dangerous reports in abundance, which can then influence the mind after corresponding frequent admission. Well, see the Google results and think!

Cancer is very common

 

Cancer, what is it actually? After all, this disease is now the cause of the death of over 200,000 people in Germany every year. Everyone's gonna die sometime. The only question is how and when. And cancer is the leading cause of death here in agony and dying at a rather young age. 

Lung cancer is still the most common cause of death from cancer. In 2010 alone, almost 43,000 Germans died from it. Followed by breast cancer with 17500 deaths. Malignant changes of the colon and pancreas occupy the following places. 

The most popular killer tumor in men is still lung cancer, and in women it is breast cancer. What does that tell us? Most diseases are probably home-made, i.e. they are the responsibility of the person concerned.

Think of the number one, lung cancer. There are now international studies on this disease that clearly show the connection between smoking and cancer. Diet and a massive lack of exercise are the next cause. So: get rid of cigarette butts or at least reduce consumption and go for a walk! Away with fast food and cook for yourself again. Then half the battle is won!

I m dead

We all have to; want, may, will and can die one day. In this respect we all become the same in death. A big difference is only present when it comes to how die? General desire to go to bed happy and content in the evening when you are very old and to fall asleep gently when you are as old as possible... that would be nice.

 The reality is different. German figures.

1st place: heart failure. The year before last, more than 7 million people (12.9 percent) succumbed to this disease worldwide.

2nd place: Blood clots in the head, also known as a stroke. After all, 6.2 million victims worldwide.

3rd place: Other lower respiratory tract infections kill 3.2 million people. .

4th place: COPD. It sounds harmless, but it is the lung disease that kills 3 million people worldwide every year. Is usually self-inflicted, through smoking.

Place 5: 1.6 million people succumbed to the AIDS virus in 2011. 6th place: According to the WHO, smoking is one of the greatest dangers. terlima-news - Cancer of the lungs and bronchi are therefore the

6th most common cause of death. In total, 1.5 million people died directly from smoking in 2011.

7th place: Diabetes was the cause of death for 1.4 million people worldwide in 2011.

8th place: Traffic accidents are one of the most common causes of death worldwide. 1.3 million people died in road traffic accidents in 2011. Incidentally, a 10% increase in the number of cases in Germany.

Transplant of a smokers lung

You have to imagine this. A young woman (28) from Great Britain suffers of cystic fibrosis and has two new lungs transplanted. So far so good. 

But a good five months after the operation, the woman dies of what is called pneumonia. The woman had had two lung transplants from a donor who had smoked for 30 years.  

Apart from the fact that the health authorities make excuses and point out that organ recipients can't expect brand new organs, this may have been a medical test of how long such a well-smoked lung might last. Terrible like that.

Drink a fine amount of water. Daily!

 

The kidneys are very sensitive to your blood circulation

Contrary to popular belief, you don’t necessarily need to down 6 pints of water to keep your kidneys working well. Even with just 4 to 6 small glasses of water a day, your kidneys are probably fine. But sticking with just a cup or 2 a day could challenge the organ. Not only will you not have enough water flushing out your system to keep your sodium levels in check, but a dehydrated body will have a harder time keeping its blood pressure up.

The kidneys dont like it being dehydrated. This can cause that your blood pressure drops and the blood flow to your kidneys drops too, which makes them not well functioning.

 You don’t need to worry about that level of dehydration every day, just make sure you drink enough water if you are exercising a lot or outside on a hot day. Sure you want a bit more than.

 Water - river - healthiness

Apple day!

 
Eat one apple a day. Really? An apple a day, keeps the doctor away. In Japan they say that about cherries.

But anyway, apples are good for you and add to longevity. Eating a few apples a week will improve the function of your lungs. Apples contain the antioxidant quercetin, which protects your lungs from the effects caused by smoke and air pollution.

Apples and carrots go well together.

Breathing is the key

                                        

   Breathe mindfully and deeply

 

Death

Life never ends - or does it?

Buddhism represents the doctrine that killing is wrong as a principle. It is forbidden to kill an animal, or even kill an insect. I believe that life is not only existing in living organisms such as animals, but even the profane tomato, in any vegetables, fruits and even in every blade of grass.

Life comes from the universe, it is part of it and it it not understood at all what it really is yet. We just guess and assume, make decisions they suit us or believe what others tell us.. Why should it be wrong to kill an animal to eat it? However, to cut the grain and threshing is any better? I mean in the eyes of the universe all are the same. Humans, animals and plants. The sea, the clouds, the heat and the cold. It is all the same.

Don't wait for spring cleaning

 

                                Two meditation master from SW England - breathing is the key!

What spring cleaning is for the household, a little detoxification from time to time is for your own body. I think the beginning of fall is a good time for that. Today I would like to describe four methods that make the body fitter and more resilient and also improve its appearance. And I'm not talking about expensive pills, formulas or eventual spa visits. 

Everyone has the means for a small detoxification according to TerLiMa at hand. According to Kneipp, we use clear water and a brush or a natural sponge. What do you drink during the day and evening? Tea, coffee, milk, juices, alcoholic beverages should all be stopped for three days. drink water Yes, water is and remains the best and at the same time cheapest food. And I don't mean expensive waters from the shop shelf. No, just tap water. 

In most places in Germany drinking water from the tap is perfectly acceptable. It is best to provide 2-3 liters for each day and drink throughout the day and evening. The liver is cleaned as well as the kidneys. Toxins are flushed out of the body. Pay attention to a good departure! But as the saying goes, water is for washing... So wash with clear water for three days. So consciously avoid soaps and bath additives. Then use a good brush during the bath and gently rub the whole body with it. 

Separated skin cells are thereby removed, the immune and lymphatic systems are stimulated. And: Cellulite, the notorious orange peel skin where toxins accumulate, is reduced. And it doesn't matter if brushing wet or dry. Always towards the heart. 

But even that is not very important. TerLiMa has already reported on the brush technology in earlier articles. In addition to water, breath is of particular importance for detoxification. 

Try breathing consciously. You may even try and use different yoga breathing methods. You can't go wrong with this. Every consciously executed breath means a gain. Better breathing supplies the body with more oxygen. Consciously draw in the air deeply with your diaphragm. 

Take a few moments several times a day to breathe deeply. With more oxygen, the body tissue is then detoxified. Smokers don't have to give up their addiction right away. But even here, a slight reduction in consumption can work wonders. 

 My last tip. TV off! Try surviving three days without a TV, even without a PC or other electronic entertainment. This detoxifies the mind, sleep becomes calmer and you feel more balanced. And who is normally surrounded by many people every day, looking for peace and contemplation for three days and also being alone once in a while. 

Good luck and enjoy detoxing!

Do you want to look more attractive? Five a day

  People who eat more fruits and vegetables not only look better and healthier, but they are also likely to be healthier, researchers say, because these foods contain antioxidants, which help the body fight infection. British researchers are now proving their theory again, eat five servings of fruit and vegetables a day and you're on the safe side. 

Of course, eating fruit and vegetables is much better than having ready meals and doner kebabs every day. "We all know that we should eat lots of fruit and vegetables, but we don't have enough motivation to actually eat healthy food," says Ross Whitehead, leader of the research team, in the Daily Telegraph.

 http://www.telegraph.co.uk/health/healthnews/9128696/Eating-fruit-and-veg-boosts-attractiveness.html

 "Telling people that if they don't eat healthier they might have a heart attack in 40 years is one thing. But when they say you could look this good in a few months if you ate more fruit and veg, that's more motivating.” 

What I think is exaggerated is the myth of five types/servings a day. This is similar to a 24/7 contract for the gym. The more opportunity, the less often you go. That's what the operators build on, because if all the members came suddenly, there wouldn't be enough space. And five times fruit a day is so high that the thought quickly comes to mind: ‘I can’t do it.’ 

So much fruit and vegetables have to be bought and managed. Then a lot gets thrown away. I swear by the saying: An apple a day, keeps the doctor away". And if you pick the apple yourself, so much the better. What the apple means to the European, the plum means to the Japanese. And the researchers agree on that. Plums and carrots can promote an attractive appearance. 

And the German newspaper Bild says: “Beauty tips against aging. Have sex! It's not only beautiful, it's also the perfect rejuvenation cure, because lots of anti-aging hormones are released."

Tantra Yoga can help you

To reach old age and stay young, or let me call it rather "stay healthy and happy", you need a balanced sex life. This does not mean, you need to actually practice sex. But if not than you need the right attitude to your state.

In the tantric lovemaking experience , which is called "Maithuna" in the West, the lovers include a variety of rituals and meditations before the actual uniting.

What's your age?

Age is just a number

This statement is definitely true. But numbers are there to give something a value. For example your "number" is 67. What does that mean?

Are you 67 years old?

And exactly here begins the misleading. 

We all have a certain picture in our head. 67 years old ... that is so and so. My grandmother was ... retirement... old age and bad health... All these associations are misleading in one way or the other.

67 can be like

55% of those they born 67 years ago are dead already!

Many need care and help to manage their daily life.

Some are still working.

A few look actually younger.

Very few are of good health.

Most feel like retired.

Very few have got big plans for the future.

If you join Club 115 your are in the last category!

One two three four - you are obese

Every fourth German adult is now overweight. According to a survey by the Robert Koch Institute, 25% of all adults are obese. Obesity, as obesity is called, primarily affects women over the age of 30 and the lower educated classes are well represented. 

(I always say: stupidity eats - intelligence drinks). 

 

 The increasing number of obesity surgeries such as stomach reduction or the removal of fat aprons also shows the problems caused by being overweight in Germany. Those are the ugly scraps of skin that often remain when a fat person loses weight. According to the Techniker Krankenkasse, the number of surgical procedures nationwide among those insured by the substitute health insurance funds increased by 65 percent from 2009 to 2012. 

 

Needless to say, diabetes and cardiovascular disease go hand in hand. What I actually think the worst is the high number of overweight children and young people. A time bomb is ticking here, which will probably cause big trouble in the future.

Watch out before you need this

I have got all the time in the world

Since I decided last year to start Club 115 I have all the time in the world. I was 64 year old and my aim is to live up to a minimum of 115 years. This gives me another 50 years from now on. Wow! 50 years from now on. This is about all my active life so far. And all again! Incredible. All the things I can do in these 50 coming 50 years. And there is no limitation by thinking life will end soon. Most die around seventy. Not me. I invite you all to attend my 115th birthday. And then we see.

Better dead than red

"Better dead than red" was one of the popular slogans used to warn the people starkly about what would happen to them if a "red government" came to power. That was when I was just out of childhood, and my dear mother was still a wonderful, mature woman and, after all, the mother of seven children.

Today, almost 40 years later, I rewrite the slogan and say, "Better dead than in a home, nursing home, retirement home, or whatever these horrific places of elderly care are called."

On Sunday, I visited my mother in her care facility, a complete disaster. She has to be there because we're deluding ourselves, deluding ourselves that living as long as possible is better than voluntarily ending our lives at the appropriate time. Today, we live naively and shirk almost all critical decisions.

 Yet it's clear that things can't go on like this. We're enraged about battery hen cages or the hunting of whales. And us? What happens when we're old? A retirement home! Survive as long as possible, at a dehumanizing level, in stench, degraded, don't die and make a bed available, constantly choking down all the prescribed pills and medicine, life between life and death, undignified, immature, cruel.

 I'll rewrite the slogan and say, better dead than a retirement home! The photo shows a magnificent cliff on the south coast of England. And as long as there's no solution in this society, I'll use my freedom and, in due time, jump off that very cliff. Fly like a bird to paradise.
