By: John Phillip
Our body is acutely sensitive to the frequency, quantity and type of foods we eat at each meal. As our body races to digest and breakdown the different fats, proteins and carbohydrates to filter all essential vitamins and minerals we need to live, metabolic activity surges based on the exact composition of the meal. When we overeat, or eat too frequently our body never has the chance to return to an optimal metabolic state, blood sugar remains high and the stage is set for weight gain and disease.
Eating Three Meals a Day to Encourage Weight Loss.
It is not difficult to understand that eating too many calories will lead to excess weight, but many people do not realize that eating smaller meals or snacks throughout the day will cause blood sugar to remain elevated and lead to metabolic dysfunction. This can open the door to diabetes and heart disease and encourages elevated triglycerides that translate to belly fat.
The results of a study conducted at Purdue University and published in the journal Obesity confirm that overweight and obese men placed on a low calorie, higher protein diet felt satisfied and less hungry when they ate three times a day compared to when they ate six smaller meals. There is as a popular misconception that eating many smaller meals each day is beneficial to health and weight loss goals, but this study provides evidence to the contrary.
Properly Balanced Nutrition Leads to Weight Loss.
This type of study underscores the importance of eating a well balanced diet that includes plenty of fresh vegetables and leafy greens as the primary carbohydrate source. Carbohydrates from vegetables are closely bound with fiber and do not cause a blood sugar surge when they are released as glucose in the blood. This keeps blood sugar levels constant, reducing the risk of metabolic disorder while encouraging fat to be released instead of stored.
Protein is an important food source when trying to lose weight. Protein from lean meat, nuts and seeds requires more time and energy to digest which means you remain satisfied longer while using more energy for assimilation. This is the reason the study participants were able to lose more weight by eating half as many meals each day. Sugar and refined carbohydrates were restricted which helped to control the desire to eat between meals.
Meal Timing Boosts the Fat Burn Cycle.
When eating with a weight loss goal in mind, it is important to properly space meals to allow your metabolism and blood sugar to stabilize before eating again. Study participants eating three meals a day spaced meals five hours apart to allow blood sugar levels to normalize. Although this study did not specify when the last meal of the day was eaten, it is important to finish eating for the day at least three hours before retiring for the night. This allows digestion to complete so the body can burn stored fat for fuel during the critical overnight hours.
The path to successful weight loss is much more than counting calories and exercising. While these are important parts of the program, it is necessary to balance the type of foods on your menu with proper meal timing. Avoid between meal snacks and limit food to just three times a day with five hours between each meal, and stop eating after dinner to stimulate the natural release of fat. This will help to drive metabolism toward your healthy weight loss goal.

Part Five – The Journey to Sacred Frankincense
I was excited to find Boswellia frereana in the marketplace in Cairo. This species was known as The King of Frankincense because ancient royalty desired to possess it because of its sweet perfume fragrance. However, when Dr. Farag and his students analyzed it, they found that the main compounds responsible for healing and regeneration were not present.
It was most interesting that the frankincense taken out of King Tutankhamuns tomb resembled the frankincense species of sacra or carterii, not frereana. All the legends from ancient prophets indicate that sacra or carterii were the only species used to anoint and heal. Frereana was never used.
The frankincense from the Hadhramaut was the most desired, because the crystal-like resin drops called hojari come from there, which is the highest grade of frankincense known to exist. In the studies of the ancient world, it is accepted knowledge that the frankincense taken to the Christ Child came from present-day Oman–the Boswellia sacra hojari–the Sacred Frankincense. This is history! These are the facts!
It is amazing to me how people can make claims out of thin air with absolutely no knowledge or experience to back them up. People who have never traveled or conducted research pretend to be experts by copying and parroting other peoples research and literature, or they simply make up their own story.
When frereana came on the market about two years ago, distributors asked me over and over again why Young Living did not have frereana from Oman. My answer has always been the same. First, frereana does not come from Oman. Second, frereana is double the price of carterii because the perfume companies have a monopoly on it. Third, it is inferior in that it is not meant for healing but for perfume. To be sold for a lower price, it cannot be of a pure and natural origin, as has been verified by a gas chromatogram analysis GC perform by the Central Service Analytical Laboratories in Lyons, France, the number one analytical laboratory for essential oils in the world.\
Study Shows Powerful Boswellic Acids Lacking in Boswellia frereana
Although the LC/LC/ESI-MS analysis of frankincense from B. frereana revealed peaks corresponding to the retention times of the boswellic acids 1–6; Fig. 3E, this gum-resin obviously does not contain appreciable amounts of the boswellic acids 1–6 which is in accordance with the results obtained by Mathe et al. They did not find any of the boswellic acids 1–6 in a botanically certified gum-resin of B. frereana with HPLC/UV at 210 nm. Emphasis added.

The Search for Health and Wellness from the Scripture
Part Three – The Journey to Sacred Frankincense.
As I sat in my hotel room feeling deeply disappointed, I remembered a message that I had received from my friends Eldon and Nancy Knittle a week earlier when I was in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada, giving an interview on a television talk show. At the same time, they were in Dallas, Texas, giving a Young Living meeting in a health food store. Although it was late when I returned to my room after the interview, I quickly called them.
When I talked with Nancy on the phone, she told me that after their meeting, a stranger who was in the audience came up to her and handed her a piece of paper with a phone number on it. He said he was an Egyptian and hoped that she could reach me before I left for Egypt. He said it would be important for me to have the number when I arrived and for me to please call if I needed any help. Then without further explanation, he turned and disappeared out the door.
I remember that as I hung up the phone, a strange feeling came over me. Was this a new mystery? After all, I was going to Egypt. But how did the stranger know I was going there? It was rather intriguing. I scribbled the number on a piece of paper, stuffed it into my wallet, and then turned to my unpacked suitcase that was waiting for me. I had to hurry and finish packing as my flight left early in the morning. With all that I had to do, I never gave our “stranger” another thought until now.
I pulled my wallet out of my pocket to quickly look through all the little pieces of paper I had accumulated. If the number was for real, this was the moment to find out. To my relief, I found the paper still there and quickly dialed the number. When the voice on the other end said hello, I introduced myself and started to explain my situation. He carefully interrupted and said, “Yes, I have been waiting for your call.” He gave me a very specific time to go down to the front of the hotel with my things. I was not to speak to anyone, and when a black car pulled up, I was to get in quickly; and then he hung up.

Health and wellness from the Bible.
Part Two – The Journey to Sacred Frankincense.
My head was spinning, trying to figure out what this was all about and what I was going to do, since it appeared that my first opportunity to be in Egypt looked like it was headed for disaster. I so wanted to know why Christ, as a child, fled to Egypt, since I am sure there were other places he could have gone. What was the frankincense story all about? I had hoped to discover why frankincense was found in Tutankhamuns tomb when it was opened by Howard Carter in 1922.
Why was Christ the only child recorded in historical writings to receive frankincense, myrrh, and gold at his birth? Yet, even that was shrouded with mystery as the definition in the Sabaic Dictionary, published by the University of Sana a in 1982, states: Gold, a type of incense. That was a clue to something new that really piqued my interest.
Historically, at that time, incense was far more prized than gold. If frankincense and myrrh were given as precious gifts, why would gold, a much lesser commodity, be given as well? How did frankincense and myrrh equate to gold? As I started putting together what I had learned with what had been written, it just did not make sense.
Through my research and in asking questions in that part of the world, I learned that balsam oil was anciently called liquid gold. That seemed to be common knowledge in the Arabian world. So then I had to ask myself, Did the translator leave out the word liquid because it did not seem important, or was it simply not understood? I was fascinated with it all and was driven to find the truth.

The Search for the healing power of Essential Oils!
The Search for the healing power of Essential Oils!
Part One – The Journey to Sacred Frankincense
My journey began 18 years ago when I traveled to Egypt in search of the answers to many questions about the mysteries of essential oils hidden in the ancient ruins and hieroglyphics of Egyptian history. I was excited to study essential oil chemistry with Dr. Radwan Farag, PhD, dean of the Biochemistry Department at Cairo University, who at that time was the most published authority on essential oils in the world.
Tourism had already been greatly restricted in Egypt when I heard the announcement in the London airport requesting that all passengers traveling to Egypt report to the Customer Service Counter of Egypt Air immediately. All nonresidents were being advised not to travel there because there was tremendous tension and upheaval in the country, and it was extremely dangerous. Tickets were being changed and refunded for all foreigners except one. I knew I had to go, and I just could not let this stand in my way of what I felt was to be a great adventure into the discovery of the unknown.
As I boarded the Egypt Air flight to Cairo, all eyes of the 38 Egyptian citizens were on me as I placed my camera bag in the overhead compartment. As the plane lifted off the ground, I had a strange feeling of anticipation, wondering what would happen to this lone American. When the jet landed and came to a stop, the stairs were rolled up to the door, but as I moved towards the exit, the head flight attendant asked me to let all the Egyptian citizens off first.
As the last passenger to leave the plane and walk down the stairs, I saw why I was detained. A military escort was waiting on the tarmac to go with me to pick up my luggage and take me through immigration, customs, and then into a black car waiting in the taxi lane. The military police drove me to a downtown hotel where I was checked in and told not leave the premises until my departure two weeks later.

How do I get the plantar wart out from under the skin? A home remedy to get rid of warts in the face,please? Does duct tape work to remove warts ? Tips to Get Rid of Plantar Warts
By: Corwin Brown
Plantar warts are noncancerous skin growths on the soles of your feet caused by the human papillomavirus HPV, which enters your body through tiny cuts and breaks in your skin. Plantar warts often develop beneath pressure points in your feet, such as the heels or balls of your feet.Surgery is an option if home treatment and treatment at your health professionals office has failed. Surgery for warts is usually quick and effective.
No single surgical method is more effective than another in curing warts. Generally, health professionals start with the surgical method that is least likely to cause scarring. Cryotherapy sounds like what they did to Ted Williams, and does involve freezing. In this case, doctors use liquid nitrogen to "freeze" your wart. They apply the liquid nitrogen directly onto the plantar wart using a spray-tip or cotton-tip applicator.
If you never experienced cryotherapy before, you might be struck by the sci-fi image of unearthly vapors rising from the nitrogen tank. For children, this method can be too painful and scary, and at any rate, it guarantees neither more nor less success than duct tape or acid treatments. If successful, however, you get rid of that plantar wart faster.It is possible to remove plantar warts.
Some success for removing painful plantar warts has been reported by the repeated and extended applications of salicylic acid. The acid, available in drug stores, works by softening the callus over the wart, exposing the virus. Apply the acid at night, and rub the whitened skin off in the morning. During the day, apply a donut-shaped pad over the wart for cushioning and pain relief.
Do not use salicylic acid if you have diabetes or peripheral vascular disease. Cantharidin Doctors and healers have used cantharidin — a substance extracted from the blister beetle — to treat warts for centuries. Today, this therapy is sometimes paired with salicylic acid. Your doctor paints this beetle juice onto your wart and covers it with clear tape. The application is painless, but it causes the skin under the wart to blister, lifting the wart off the skin. Your doctor can then clip away the dead part of the wart in about a week.
However, some doctors are hesitant to use cantharidin because it is not approved by the Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of warts. Another very low cost way to remove plantar warts is called hyperthermic treatment. Hyperthermic treatment of plantar is very simple and all you need is warm water and a small tube to soak your feet in. It involves soaking your feet in hot water to remove the warts for 90 minutes a day. This is a no-nonsense method on how to remove warts, especially plantar warts. Also, it can relieve the pressure caused by the infection.Removal of plantar warts using this method may depend on the size of the wart.
Usually, it takes about six weeks for the lesion to heal completely. Another disadvantage of the method, aside from the length it takes for the wound to heal, is the pain associated, even if anesthesia is applied, and the scar that forms around the skin area.

Your doctor paints this beetle juice onto your wart and covers it with clear tape. The application is painless, but it causes the skin under the wart to blister, lifting the wart off the skin. Your doctor can then clip away the dead part of the wart in about a week.
However, some doctors are hesitant to use cantharidin because it is not approved by the Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of warts. Another very low cost way to remove plantar warts is called hyperthermic treatment. Hyperthermic treatment of plantar is very simple and all you need is warm water and a small tube to soak your feet in. It involves soaking your feet in hot water to remove the warts for 90 minutes a day. This is a no-nonsense method on how to remove warts, especially plantar warts. Also, it can relieve the pressure caused by the infection.Removal of plantar warts using this method may depend on the size of the wart.
Usually, it takes about six weeks for the lesion to heal completely. Another disadvantage of the method, aside from the length it takes for the wound to heal, is the pain associated, even if anesthesia is applied, and the scar that forms around the skin area.

Tips to Get Rid of Plantar Warts
Plantar warts are noncancerous skin growths on the soles of your feet caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), which enters your body through tiny cuts and breaks in your skin. Plantar warts often develop beneath pressure points in your feet, such as the heels or balls of your feet.
Surgery is an option if home treatment and treatment at your health professionals office has failed. Surgery for warts is usually quick and effective. No single surgical method is more effective than another in curing warts. Generally, health professionals start with the surgical method that is least likely to cause scarring.
Cryotherapy sounds like what they did to Ted Williams, and does involve freezing. In this case, doctors use liquid nitrogen to "freeze" your wart. They apply the liquid nitrogen directly onto the plantar wart using a spray-tip or cotton-tip applicator. If you've never experienced cryotherapy before, you might be struck by the sci-fi image of unearthly vapors rising from the nitrogen tank. For children, this method can be too painful and scary, and at any rate, it guarantees neither more nor less success than duct tape or acid treatments. If successful, however, you'll get rid of that plantar wart faster.
It is possible to remove plantar warts. Some success for removing painful plantar warts has been reported by the repeated and extended applications of salicylic acid. The acid, available in drug stores, works by softening the callus over the wart, exposing the virus. Apply the acid at night, and rub the whitened skin off in the morning. During the day, apply a donut-shaped pad over the wart for cushioning and pain relief. Do not use salicylic acid if you have diabetes or peripheral vascular disease.
Cantharidin Doctors and healers have used cantharidin — a substance extracted from the blister beetle — to treat warts for centuries. Today, this therapy is sometimes paired with salicylic acid. Your doctor paints this beetle juice onto your wart and covers it with clear tape. The application is painless, but it causes the skin under the wart to blister, lifting the wart off the skin.

Essential Oils and their anticancer properties:
E.O. and Anticancer Properties October 21, 2005
Good Morning,
Well I am back from Ecuador and what an awesome experience we all had. The country is as beautiful as far as an eye can see. High mountains were everywhere. The people are out plowing their fields by hand or with the ox pulling a plow behind. We sure do take our easy life for granted dont we? I saw many women down by a creek or a spring washing their clothes on a rock scrubbing them back and forth to get them clean and then hanging them out to dry on bushes or whatever they could hang them on.
Women and children out in the garden and field hoeing and weeding and even cutting grass to put in a large sack like material to fold and hauling it over their shoulders on the back, taking it to market to sell.
Most of the farms are on the mountain side and their homes up on the side of the mountain or on top. With stair cut out of the ground so they can climb to their homes. And we complain because the car has a flat tire. They are a happy group of people waving as our buses went by.
Not all people are farmers, there are a lot of town people with the busy life of zippy around in cars going here and there to work and shopping. New buildings going up all over. A new hospital is being built that is right by the Azuay University where Dr. Gary Young and Dr. Edward Rodas will be teaching students and doing research on the Essential Oils.
That is right Gary will be teaching classes in Azuay University to students toward getting their degree in alternative health with Essential oils. And hopefully in time there will be a home course for those of us that would like to have a degree behind our name, which we will be able to take, but it will require some college time in the Azuay University to complete the degree.
Gary talked more on what we learned at convention on research on the 74 essential oil in the studies of cancer. 69 single and 5 mixtures on Cervical, breast, skin, and prostate cancer cell lines with a Non-cancerous 3T3 mouse fibroblast cells. I would like to share part of this again especially for those that are new and have not heard about the research.
OBJECTIVE:
Oils showing 50 percent or more cancer cell inhibition and 25 percentor less inhibition of non-cancer cell growth will be recommended for further study as potential anticancer drugs.
RESULTS:
58 percent of the 74 oils showed general cancer inhibition of 50 percent or greater. 34 percentof the 74 oils showed cancer-specific inhibition. Seven of those were active against two or more cancer cell lines
Of particular interest: Oils showing synergistic effects, Oils with significant activity at the lowest concentration tested and Oils with multiple anti-cancer activity.
CONCLUSION:
Essential oils have potential as anticancer drugs.
Screening processes such as the one used in this study that are fast, inexpensive and useful provided good leads about which compounds should be further investigated.
Further research should be done on promising essential oils--this may lead to new cancer drugs. Many technologies available.
AREAS OF INTEREST:.
Stimulating apoptosis
DNA repair
Proflerative senescence
Immune protection and stimulation
Preventing metastasis
ALPHA-SANTALOL Vs SKIN CANCER:
1. Researchers at the South Dakota State University found that the main component of Sandalwood oil, the alpha-santalol, protected skin from cancer.
2. Application of alpha-santalol to skin exposed to cancer-causing chemicals dramatically delayed the onset of tumor growth in test subjects.

Soda Gets in the Way
By: Dr Izharul Hasan
Soda Gets in the Way.Soda is commonly served to kids, but this carbonated drink has no nutritional value and is high in sugar. One study found that more than 1 out of 3 preschoolers drank soda on the day before the survey. On average, the kids drank over 8 ounces of soda or sugar-sweetened fruit drink. On the other hand, they drank only 12 ounces of milk, which is less than the recommended 16 ounces a day.
Kids may be less likely to drink enough milk if soda and other sugar-sweetened beverages are available. Besides calcium, milk offers other important nutrients, including vitamin D, potassium, and protein.
It is also easy to drink too much soda, and kids tend to drink increasing amounts as they get older. In older kids and adolescents, drinking soda and other sugary beverages has been linked to excessive weight gain and other problems, including tooth decay.
Caffeine and Kids: a Bad Mix.
In addition to calories and sugar, soda often contains caffeine, which can have negative effects on kids. Most parents would not dream of giving a preschooler a cup of coffee, but might routinely serve cola and other drinks containing caffeine. For kids, the effects of caffeine are similar to those seen in adults.
Too much caffeine can cause:
jitteriness and nervousness
upset stomach
headaches
difficulty concentrating
difficulty sleeping
To avoid giving kids too much caffeine, read nutrition labels on food and drinks. In addition to colas and some other soft drinks, caffeine is found in chocolate, coffee ice cream, and iced tea drinks.
Although the United States has not yet developed guidelines for caffeine consumption in kids, Canadian guidelines recommend that preschoolers consume no more than 45 milligrams of caffeine a day. This is equivalent to the average amount of caffeine found in a 12-ounce 360-milliliter can of cola or four 1.5-ounce 45-gram milk chocolate bars.
Water is a caffeine-free, zero-calorie thirst quencher and milk has nutrients to help kids grow up strong. Limit the empty calorie drinks you serve, and teach your kids that water and milk are the best drinks for them.

By: DaisyMae
It is a surprising fact that womens hair loss occurs more than you may realize. Another thing that is so surprising about this issue is that hair loss in women can often happen just as much as it does in men, yet there's so much more awareness about the condition in men. Why so much more attention given to hair loss in men? Why are there not commercials and programs dedicated to the hair loss of women? A woman's hair can begin to thin due to a number of different causes. This article will talk about some of the reasons why a woman might start losing her hair.There are certain medications that affect whether or not a woman gets to keep her hair. Chemotherapy is a procedure that very many women take, especially for breast cancer, and that will certainly induce hair loss. Chemical interaction between the female body and other medications will cause this to happen, as well. But it is not always a case of hair actually falling out. So what happens is that the cycle of hair growth is interrupted, and it stops growing. But the net effect is the appearance of hair loss. However she will still seem to be experiencing hair loss to those who don not know any better. Hair loss can appear to be happening with some women, but it is due to her hormones. Many possible reactions can occur when the hormones become out of balance. Energy levels can be affected as well as moods and weight. Sometimes a womans hair will stop growing, or it can just become thinner, and of course there can be actual hair loss. If you notice changes in any of these areas over time, then of course the best thing to do is see your family doctor. Of course tests can be performed on your chemistry, and then appropriate action can be taken.Another type of hair loss in women is called, telogen effluvium. This is also called temporary shedding. But the unusual aspect of this is that the shedding occurs at a very quick rate. This shedding occurs after especially traumatic events like surgery or traumas. Extreme distress of the emotions can also cause this. All is not lost because the hair loss in this situation is not permanent, and the hair will grow back. The peculiar part of this condition is that you'll never know if it will happen to you unless it happens. Womens hair loss does not get as much publicity as mens hair loss does. The amazing thing about it is that women and men have hair loss in the same amount. These are just a few of the reasons that a woman might suffer from hair loss or hair thinning. But these are some of the more well known causes.

Startling Facts About Womens Hair Loss
It is a surprising fact that womens hair loss occurs more than you may realize. Another thing that is so surprising about this issue is that hair loss in women can often happen just as much as it does in men, yet there's so much more awareness about the condition in men. Why so much more attention given to hair loss in men?
Why are there not commercials and programs dedicated to the hair loss of women? A womans hair can begin to thin due to a number of different causes. This article will talk about some of the reasons why a woman might start losing her hair.
There are certain medications that affect whether or not a woman gets to keep her hair. Chemotherapy is a procedure that very many women take, especially for breast cancer, and that will certainly induce hair loss. Chemical interaction between the female body and other medications will cause this to happen, as well. But it is not always a case of hair actually falling out. So what happens is that the cycle of hair growth is interrupted, and it stops growing. But the net effect is the appearance of hair loss. However she will still seem to be experiencing hair loss to those who don't know any better. Hair loss can appear to be happening with some women, but it is due to her hormones. Many possible reactions can occur when the hormones become out of balance. Energy levels can be affected as well as moods and weight. Sometimes a womans hair will stop growing, or it can just become thinner, and of course there can be actual hair loss. If you notice changes in any of these areas over time, then of course the best thing to do is see your family doctor. Of course tests can be performed on your chemistry, and then appropriate action can be taken.
Another type of hair loss in women is called, telogen effluvium. This is also called temporary shedding. But the unusual aspect of this is that the shedding occurs at a very quick rate. This shedding occurs after especially traumatic events like surgery or traumas. Extreme distress of the emotions can also cause this. All is not lost because the hair loss in this situation is not permanent, and the hair will grow back. The peculiar part of this condition is that you'll never know if it will happen to you unless it happens. Womens hair loss does not get as much publicity as men's hair loss does. The amazing thing about it is that women and men have hair loss in the same amount. These are just a few of the reasons that a woman might suffer from hair loss or hair thinning. But these are some of the more well known causes.

How Positive Thinking Helps When You Catch a Cold
How Positive Thinking Helps When You Catch a Cold
It will probably not surprise you when I say that my motivation in asking this question comes from the fact that I have caught a cold. I have managed to avoid all those bugs which circulate so easily for at least the last two years, so I don't suppose that I should grumble. What I will say is that the symptoms I am experiencing in the present moment feel as if all of those sore throats and snivels which I managed to miss have all decided to come forth at once!
I happen to have one of those personalities which adapts easily to circumstances; if something good happens I enjoy it and if something bad happens I just get on with it. A kind of what will be, will be attitude with a twist; the twist is that if there is a way to think more positively about whatever is going on then that is the attitude I will choose to take.
It is because of this positive attitude of mine that I was so surprised when I managed to catch this cold. Usually everyone around me can succumb and I will remain in good shape; I really do not expect to catch colds. But when I do catch something, boy, I catch it! I never cease to be surprised by individual peoples reactions to colds. So many people automatically assume that it is the flu that you or they have got; rarely does anyone refer to the common cold. What is this? Surely you donot prefer to have a simple cold as opposed to the flu? I know that is what I prefer. Would not it feel better to have a more positive attitude?
I have only spoken with a couple of people today about this cold of mine. One asked if I needed to cancel my flight which I am travelling on later today. What? Because I have a cold? They sounded as if they thought I should be hospitalized, or at the very least I should remain in bed for the best part of a week. I can only imagine the negative thinking scenarios which were running through their mind. All I am thinking about is how to try and be mosre comfortable on the plane and how to protect my seating companions from my germs.
Another person warned me that my ears will hurt, particularly when the plane is coming in to land. Now you may say that if you are warned about something you can take steps to deal with it. I say thanks a bunch for putting this negative expectation into my mind! Let face it, I cannot change the way in which a plane flies or how the human body responds on an airplane. If my ears get sore, it woll not kill me, and the pain will not last for long. Although a positive attitude is unlikely to change this natural physical reaction, it may allow me to notice the pain less. And I will definitely avoid putting myself through twelve hours of anticipatory anxiety beforehand.
What you expect to happen tends to happen. Whatever you imagine you create. This is how your mind works. So if you get a cold, it is far more helpful to think of it as a common cold, and not jump to the conclusion that you are suffering from the flu or any other types of more uncomfortable ailments. If I was to allow myself to go down the negative thinking route, I might by now be lying in bed, focusing on how dreadful I feel and suffering from panic attacks about my flight later today.
Instead of this I have armed myself with a splendid array of medicinal supplements, a box of tissues which are super soft and covered in balsam, a mask, a good book, my iPod and headphones with a lot of hypnotic mp3 recordings to help me to relax, release positive endorphins, reduce my perception of pain and to sleep well. Now that does not sound so bad, does it?
