Your Weekly Health Tip: A Short And Easy Meditation
While science has long known that daily periods of meditation provides a host of health benefits, until recently it was believed that these benefits could only be achieved after at least 20-30 minutes of meditation each day. Finding that amount of time to meditate can be difficult. The good news is that researchers have now found that as little as 3 minutes of meditation once or twice a day can provide the same health benefits, which include decreased stress, improved blood flow, and increased production of endorphins (hormones that make you feel happy and energized). If you aren’t used to meditating, try this simple exercise: Find a quite place and sit comfortably in a chair with your back straight. Close your eyes and begin breathing gently and deeply. Pay attention to your breathing as you inhale and exhale. At the end of three minutes (more if you can spare them), take a deep breath and imagine yourself inhaling energy throughout your body. Then open your eyes and get on with your day.

Hey, Look, I Started A Blog!
For someone who is as opinionated as I am, it’s hard to believe that I haven’t been part of the blogosphere. Well, as of this week, that’s been rectified. I’ve just launched my very own blog, entitled Holistic Beefs, where I will be sharing my views on a wide variety of topics, both health-related and not. Currently on my blog you can read my latest thoughts about swine flu (find out why I’m calling it a hoax), as well as discover various facts about the Tamiflu vaccine that should make you think twice about rushing off to obtain it. I intend to post new comments and articles at least a few times each week, so I hope you will visit my blog often. (To keep informed of my latest blog postings, just sign up to follow me. It’s free and easy to do.)

Healthy Heart Medical Tests
An important step in minimizing your risk of heart attack and other types of cardiovascular disease is an annual physical that includes a variety of tests your physician can use to monitor your overall cardiovascular health. These test include blood testing that can provide your physician will accurate readings of your overall cholesterol levels (both HDL and LDL cholesterol), as well as the level of your triglycerides. Typically, these are the blood tests most commonly performed by physicians to gauge their patients’ heart health.
However, in recent years a growing number of cardiologists and other physicians have recognized that the standard normal values for such tests are not necessarily indicative of a healthy cardiovascular system. Rather than relying on the standard reference range that most physicians use, “heart-aware” physicians look towards optimal levels. The difference between standard and optimal levels can be an important determining factor for revealing underlying cardiovascular problems. Therefore, it’s important for you to know the difference between these levels and to seek to move your levels into the optimal range by making use of the information in that follows.
Blood Tests: Standard And Optimal Range Levels
Total Cholesterol: The standard range for this test is up to 199 mg/dL. Anything within that range is considered normal. The optimal range for this test, however, is 180-220 mg/dL.
LDL Cholesterol: The standard range for this test is up to 129 mg/dL, but the optimal range is under 100 mg/dL.
HDL Cholesterol: The standard range for this test is no lower than 35 mg/dL, but the optimal range is over 50 mg/dL.
Triglycerides: The standard range for this test is up to 199 mg/dL, but the optimal range is under 100 mg/dL.
In addition to the tests above, “heart-aware” physicians also make use of additional blood tests in order to more completely evaluate their patients’ heart health. These tests include testing levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), fibrinogen, and homocysteine. Briefly, let’s examine why each of these tests are important as indicators of your overall cardiovascular health.
C-reactive protein (CRP): CRP is one of the primary indicators of your body’s overall level of inflammation. Recently, health experts have recognized that chronic inflammation in the body is a serious risk factor for heart disease, as well as many other types of illness, including cancer. The higher the levels of CRP are, the greater the level of inflammation there is in the body. Elevated CRP levels are also an indicator of an increased risk for abnormal clotting of the arteries, as well as for destabilized arterial plaque. Destabilized plaque is also known as vulnerable plaque, which in 1998 the American Heart Association stated was a primary risk factor for 85 percent of all cases of heart attack and stroke. In addition, research shows that people with elevated CRP levels are three times more likely to die from a heart attack, compared to people with normal CRP levels.
The standard normal acceptable range for CRP is up to 4.9 mg/L. However, the optimal level should be below 2 mg/L, and some studies suggest a more optimal level is below 1.3 mg/L.
Fibrinogen: Fibrinogen is another leading indicator of inflammation in the body. Elevated fibrinogen can lead to a heart attack in a variety of ways, such as abnormally high levels of blood thickening and abnormal blood clotting. Research shows that people with high levels of fibrinogen are twice as likely to die from heart attacks, compared to people with normal fibrinogen levels.
The standard normal acceptable range for fibrinogen is up to 460 mg/dL. However, the optimal level should be below 300 mg/dL.
Homocysteine: Homocysteine is another indicator of inflammation in the body. Testing homocysteine levels in the blood can also be used to determine whether or not a patient is suffering from deficiencies in certain B vitamins, especially folic acid and vitamin B12. Elevated homocysteine levels can contribute to an increased production of free radicals in the body, and can play a direct role in heart disease because of excess homocysteine blocks your body’s ability to breakdown and eliminate fibrinogen. In addition, elevated homocysteine can also damage the cells and tissues of the arteries, leading to a variety of problems. These include calcification and hardening of the arteries, as well as the formation of unhealthy blood clots within the arteries themselves. Elevated homocysteine levels are particularly dangerous for men. Research shows that men with high homocysteine levels have up to a 300 percent greater risk for heart attacks compared to men with low homocysteine levels.
The standard normal acceptable range for homocysteine is up to 15 micromol/L. However, the optimal level should be under 7 micromol/L.
In conclusion, to in order to most effectively protect yourself from heart disease, be sure to schedule an annual physical exam with your physician that includes all of the above mentioned blood tests. Knowing your cholesterol, CRP, fibrinogen, and homocysteine levels, and then taking action to move all of them into their optimal range can dramatically reduce your risk of heart disease while simultaneously improving your overall health.

The Human Energy Field – An Interview With Valerie Hunt, Ph.D. (Part 4)
(Dr. Valerie Hunt is one of the most brilliant healers and researchers I have ever met. 87 years young, Valerie if professor emeritus at UCLA, where she was the first scientist to satisfactorily prove the existence of the human energy field, more commonly referred to as the “human aura.” Since that time, Valerie has remained in the forefront in the field of energy medicine, and today her ongoing research is making clear how and why understanding of the human energy field is of paramount importance not only to optimal health, but to spiritual awareness and the very essence of our Being.
What follows is part four of an interview I conducted with Valerie that is featured in my book, Health on the Edge: Visionary Views of Healing in the New Millennium. To learn more about Valerie, visit http://www.1healthyworld.com/advisoryBoard/ValerieHunt.cfm.)
Q: What other areas of research are you involved in?
A: New frontiers of research concerning participation. What I mean by participation is that I'm not wanting to do things for people, I'm wanting people to do things to and for themselves. It's fine to have a healer, but unless you can take the energy in the field and heal yourself, you've got to go see the healer. It's an on and off deal. I want it to be an "on deal," so that's why I want the individual's participation.
I have created what I call "Mind Mastery Meditations," which are self-help healing procedures. These teach people how to move energy into their own field, and can be applied to broad categories of illness, and help them in their personal evolution.
I will also be developing subliminal energy tapes with focused instruction. I've already developed a series of music and sound tapes, which are the world's first authentic auric field sounds harmonically correlated with music. What I've done is taken the various electromagnetic frequencies of the field and combined these with the music that matches each frequency. The red, orange, amber frequency spectrum, for example, goes with contemporary African music with a strong beat, and can be used to revitalize the physical body and activate spontaneous emotions. The yellow, green, and gold frequency is a waltz wave. When you listen to it, it fine tunes sensation and perception, improves the efficiency of the nervous system, and creatively activates the mind. Then you have the blue, violet, and mauve spectrum, which correlates to the great classical music repertory, and encourages a contemplative state of peace, tranquility, and higher consciousness. Then we come into the white and gold spectrum, which correlates to spiritual a cappella choral singing, and elevates thoughts and emotions to a broader worldview of richer beauty and deeper wisdom. Or you can listen to the Rainbow tape, which progresses through all the frequencies to stabilize the field and encourage expanded awareness. The tapes work directly on the amplitude of the human body.
Now the subliminal tapes I'll be doing will not only focus on a specific problem, but also the frequency necessary to heal it. Diabetes, for example, is a problem related to not enough of the red frequency in the field. I've cured diabetes by changing the person's field, bringing in the red, and guiding them back to where they dispense with their anger and hostility. These tapes will include the sounds of the necessary frequencies with instructions we will record and make subliminal, and they will directly interact with the electromagnetic field of the human aura.
Another area of my research has to do with bioscalar waves.
Q: Which are?
The human auric field is composed of electromagnetic frequencies which pass through the body as waves of energy. But there is also a type of electromagnetism that is organized differently. It is not a wave, but is changed to a standing energy. In physics, this is known as a scalar wave, and when it exists in the body, I call it a bioscalar wave. If energy is introduced on a straight line from two energy sources of the same frequency at the same time, coming toward each other to meet in the middle of a mobius coil, the frequencies get cancelled out and it becomes standing energy. This energy doesn't flow like a wave, but it does occupy space and can increase in spatial mass. When the space it occupies is sufficient, the energy expands outward in circles of energy, directly influencing the blood and the body's lymphatic system. As you know, red and white blood cells tend to clump together when there is illness or injury. According to research conducted at the Max Planck Institute in Germany, scalar energy reverses this -- it "unsticks" the cells and circulation and lymphatic flow improves, hastening healing.
I believe the creation of the bioscalar wave is the essential electromagnetic phenomenon of all healing procedures, and I've discovered that each of us can be the generator for that. We can create a standing energy. We can imagine bringing in a particular frequency or a particular color of energy through a straight line through our body from our hands reaching out to the sides. We can bring that energy in to the middle of our body, and that's the mobius coil from which the energy spirals upward. You can do amazing things with this process. We have found that all medical conditions are improved or eliminated by bioscalar activation, although in some situations the results can take weeks or months to occur. But the direction is always positive as the body establishes new energy field patterns that are self-healing.
Q: What do you foresee occurring in the health field as your work begins to reach a broader audience?
A: A new model. As I said, the model I am after is a new model of the human being based on health, consciousness, and evolution.
Currently, there are three models that define our belief systems. The first is the physiological model, which has to do with how we treat disease. We treat disease symptoms because we do not know what health is; we accept as fact that health is the absence of disease. Second is the biochemical model, which says that life started from a chemical soup and then progressed to protozoa and so forth. This isn't so. You can have all the chemistry in the world, but if there is no electricity, no power, and no charge, there is no life. In the medicine of the future, the emphasis on biochemistry will be phased out.
Then there is the behavioral model, which has to do with perception, experience, ego, personality, emotion, and brain hemispheres, and only addresses a very small part of human behavior, and only the memories and experiences of this current lifehood.
These models are not incorrect, but they are incomplete and cannot explain all of our choices, actions, and perceptions. We need a new model rather than trying to fit ourselves into models that do not encompass all we are. This is the model of the human energy field or the mind of man, a field of energy that incorporates all behaviors, even to the highest level -- the level of the soul. The soul is the apex of the field; it holds the memory of everything that has ever occurred to it, including other lifehoods, and is also the source of intuition, insight, and creativity, and the source of mystical experiences. I talked about energy field levels of consciousness. All of us are electromagnetically wired for divine experiences. It's not a case of these being something foreign to us; when we reach a certain frequency level, we will have a spiritual experience, and spiritual enlightenment is our evolutionary goal. Acknowledging our field and learning how to activate it is a way of achieving that, creating health and healing disease in the process.
