Pineal Gland

I am fascinated with the pineal gland.   I only know a little bit about it.  It synthesizes and secretes melatonin (a derivative of seratonin)  which regulates the sleep-wake cycle.  The gland is shaped like a pine cone.  It contributes to our feeling of well-being and happiness.  Melatonin also fights free radicals which can damage our cells.

The most interesting thing is that other than our eyes, the pineal gland is the only organ in the body that can detect light.  It has light sensitive cells like those in the retina.  That is why it is called the third eye.  Cutting bangs which cover the pineal gland impedes its function.  Genghis Khan forced the conquered Chinese women to cut their hair and wear bangs in order to make them easier to control.  Flouride also damages the ability of the pineal gland to function.

I read that it is good to rub the forehead where the pineal gland is located for a minute or so then face it toward the sun for fifteen or twenty minutes.  This is supposed to help the gland to wake up.  Meditation in the prayer closet is also a key to awakening the pineal gland.  Most of us are asleep, I think.  It's interesting that Jacob wrestled with God in a place called Piniel.

I am liking the diet.  The things John Fielder teaches are the best teachings out there regarding health and a good simple life.  What he teaches works, and it is sustainable.

I ordered a c-clamp style coconut grater from a place called Niwasa.  I think they are from Sri Lanka.  I hope this one is just like John's in Australia.  I want to start having coconut for lunch when I can get good coconuts. Here's the link:  Coconut Grater   Yesterday I ate some grated coconut from Nuts.com, but it was very dry and not very good.  Travis cracked open the coconut I bought at Walmart and it was a good one.

I finished the part four of my Periodicity lesson.  People who take drugs all their life can end up with constipation.  Medicines only give temporary relief.  In order to restore health, it is necessary to overcome constipation.  Nothing else will improve until the natural lifestyle corrects that problem.

Once we get on the right track and start to feel really good....get ready for the healing crisis.  Now the real fight begins!

In a healing crisis we will feel awful with nausea, coated tongue, headache, flu, and a host of other symptoms.  We'll feel worse than ever.  When that first happened to me I couldn't understand why I was  eating healthier than most people, yet I was the sickest one around.  Lots of changes have to take place in the body.  We feel bad because all our vitality is being used in healing.

This is not the time to quit.  Even though we feel worse, we are really getting better.  If we give up and take some medicine to relieve us, then we have stopped the healing.  That's why so many people are not cured and why they don't think the natural lifestyle works.

A lot of people start off to live a healthier lifestyle and they do good as long as they are feeling better, but when the crisis comes they lose faith and start doubting the natural regimen.  Well-meaning friends and relatives often destroy their confidence and so they give up.

This is the time when people become frightened (a tactic of the world system) and return to the ways of the world.  Then they tell everyone that Nature Cure didn't work.

It helps to have a practitioner or someone who has already been through the fire to reinforce us with guidance and encouragement.  I am thankful that I have Dr. Fielder.  The raw food group is an encouragement, too.  There are good You Tube videos, too, of people that have succeeded in this way.

Every crisis that is allowed to run its course in accordance with Nature's laws inspires us to do better. Our goal is to follow these laws more completely.

Happy in the Garden

Yesterday I worked in the garden instead of walking around the neighborhood.  It is a different feeling. It's true that I only got in about 6500 steps by the end of the day instead of over 10,000, but it was a different feeling.  Travis planted some tomatoes and peppers, I cleaned the lower deck and pulled some weeds.  Lucy dug in the dirt and felt so happy.  I felt the same way. Working in the garden makes you feel happy and productive. I was puzzled by a plant growing in the herb garden as a weed.  I started pulling them out but decided to check if they are edible.  Edible weeds, such as dandelion,  can be used in our smoothies.  I put a picture on Facebook to ask for help identifying the weed, and the consensus is that it is plantain.  Some say edible and some say not, but I am inclined to think that it is edible.  My brother, Max, lives up in the mountains, and his neighbor says it is edible and the smallest leaves are best with...

The Lou Corona Story

Yesterday, we went to Magic Springs with our daughter, son-in-law and three grandchildren.  The landscaping there is beautiful this year.  This one little flower didn't let a little concrete stop it.     Lunch today was three bananas which I ate about 1:30.  I'm letting my body rest a little bit after eating too much food the last couple of days.  I did domestic chores today.  But Travis made a trip to the City Compost Facility for another load of compost.  We'll use it on the trees we still have left to plant. We have a volunteer tomato plant coming up in one of the garden beds.  It's doing pretty well, too.  I have it on my to do list to buy some more tomato cages. The arugula I planted is up. The kale Travis planted is up. The new plum tree is planted. Here is a volunteer Poke Salat that came with the blueberry plant.  Travis planted some more blueberries in the blueberry row that lines our driveway. The...

Alko Shredder

 It was chilly this morning, but I got out and worked a bit in the garden bed that had the strawberries moved out yesterday.  I fed it with the mineral supplement and fertilizer.  I started putting on compost, but ran out of time before I finished.  We are going to plant some kale in this bed. Bed #3 weeded, minerals added, fertilized, and partly composted. Travis and I went to an estate sale today.  First thing we saw was a garden shredder.  We bought it for $60.00 and brought it home.  There are lots of leaves in my yard that could be shredded. Our new used Alko shredder...made in Germany.    For dinner tonight I made a soup.  The inspiration came from Dara Dubinet on her You-tube video, but mine was different because I used what we had. My vegetable soup recipe:  Juice a beet, 6 carrots, 3 broccoli stalks, and a sweet potato.  Then heat a pot of water on the stove, but do not boil.  In the Vita-Mix, put 3 med...
