    Thank you, Everyone, for your loving responses to my request for healing
    energy for my friend. The graphics are beautiful.

    He has been using a Rife machine for a couple weeks.
    Probably is using marijuana oil as well.
    Don't know if he's using MMS, but I agree it could be helpful.


    Re comfrey: In high school, I worked at the only health food store in Sacramento, California, and the owner made a delicious drink of comfrey leaves, mint leaves and pineapple juice whizzed up in a blender and then put through a sieve. It was very refreshing in the blistering days of summer (which days ultimately caused me to leave the area--too friggin' hot!).


    Thanks again, Everyone!

    Peace Love Joy & Harmony

    They do not leave us,
    They just slip into the next room
    Looking back, and peeping through cracks in the door
    Make them happy-when they look, show them rejoicing and celebration
    And so we should rejoice
    They have gone to the place of ultimate healing
    The lofty view of the one
    All the things that they suffered are washed away, leaving the pure love that is them in truth
    Outside time, this healed love is poured forth to us
    Make them happy by accepting it, and be healed
    we have subcontracted the business of healing people to Companies who profit from sickness.

    Genevieve, your friend should have easy access to fresh aloe vera leaves, which grow in Mexico.
    There is a certain strain of leaves which are meant for consumption, and are usually available in Mexican markets even in the US.
    There was a study done at a Texas University with cancer and AIDs patients who were "at death's door".
    They all stayed in a clinic and were given the same treatment, no drugs or chemo, but fresh foods (including lots of fresh aloe vera gel blended in fresh fruit juice) and exercise, counseling, etc.
    The vast majority of them recovered, and the AIDs patients had no trace left of the disease in their bloodstream.
    Subsequent research suggests that the aloe was a BIG factor.
    I've been consuming about a pound of fresh aloe gel for years now and despite many injuries from a near-fatal car accident and other health issues (the SV40 contaminated polio vaccine I received as a child which killed thousands of my generation when they reached their 40s of cancer, lupus, chronic fatigue, etc.)
    I am still going strong and very rarely get ill. Of course, I take other things too, but I can really feel the difference when I skip a day of aloe.
    Aloe is great prevention --anti-viral, anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, lots of oxygen and other nutrients-- as well as cure.
    I buy organic leaves from a company called Aloe Labs in Harlingen, Texas and have them shipped.
    But there are probably organic leaves in Mexico too (in my experience, the organic leaves are much better than the commercially grown.)
    So when your friend returns home to the US, all well again, hopefully, there will be organic leaves available from Aloe Labs, and that would help prevent a relapse.
    Each breath a gift...

    Spend time with him doing practical jobs, discuss any obvious problems and the best outcomes. Get him away from his routine for constructive breaks, with or without family. Main thing, break routines, keep contact daily, talk to each other, build family trust. Don't criticise, listen and ask for their suggestions. Let them choose, and support their choices, but if they stray then you can ask why it's gone a bit awry, they must get your support for progression. You also need family back-up.
    Look up cognitative behavioural therapy, and how it works. Kind thoughts.

    After trying all sorts of "normal" approaches with the drinkers in my life, the only thing left, other than their own efforts, is to involve the services of a competent shaman or exorcist. Because I really think that they are being hijacked by discarnate entities.
    And particularly in cases of PTSD, where the personality has been split apart by the trauma, those entities have an opening through which to enter. Once alcohol is in the blood stream the telepathic channels are opened and those entities voices can then take over and take control.
    I also believe that the area has something to do with it. Barbados in the Caribbean where I lived for 12 years was a slavery island and a sugar and rum producing island, and there were an enormous number of people who may have died while under the influence of rum, and they dont even know that they are dead. So they are looking for a drink, but need a body to enjoy it.
    I've seen tourists there overindulge as if driven, from the moment they stepped foot on that island. It was something to behold, unlike anything I have seen anywhere else.

    Ideas on how to help?

    Maybe…just maybe…nothing. No thing.

    No matter how much love, support, tough love, compassionate ear...not much will help. That is until they are willing to go to the very depths they avoid. For many, the waiting to exhale is not so far from the mess bits*.

    And in some cases, it’s only days, hours, minutes, seconds away. Then the healing begins.

    They don’t have to be a warrior. They only need a few moments of warrior-like action; the willingness to be suspended in a place of unknown. Breath. And feel the True who they are in the depths of their being(ness). The depths beyond the mess bits* that’ve clogged up the mind, body, spirit.

    If on some level, they understand a bit of the above, and/or puke themselves inside out from the pain, the suffering, the loss and there’s no more but the explosion of no-more, no-more, please God, I can’t take any more…THEN they’ll help themselves. They empower themselves.

    Be by their side with a listening ear, a few words of encouragement, a hug and a .

    *messy bits = drugs, alcohol, programs, F-beliefs, unreasonable/unrealistic expectations, fear, anger, rage, over-indulgent in foods, sadness, shopping for big things, shiny things, fast cars, red cars, long work hours, Ben & Jerry’s, toxic friends and family, suckling-energetics.

    either way!
    I had the same experience, many years ago. I used to have regular attacks of chronic appendicitis. No one ever diagnosed me properly, and after two or three days of unbelievable agony I would get better. These attacks would come every six months, and at least once a year. (Finally my appendix did burst in 1994, and I was rushed to hospital, and since then have been free from those attacks)
    Anyway, when I woke up during one of those attacks, and tried to observe the pain, just lie still, and observe it...it grew and grew until I could not stand it any longer. Got out of bed, and on all fours crawledl to a book shelf, and looked for a bible which was then banished to the bottom shelf, as I was then no longer interested in religion.
    And I pulled it off the shelf, and it fell to the floor, and my eyes fell on the sentence "have you not eyes to see, nor ears to hear?"
    And suddenly I could hear the noise of a bus passing outside, and as I looked at the wall next to the shelf it looked as if there was a light shining inside it, and as a voice told me, loud and clear " you are all already dead"

    And I noticed that I was totally free of pain, and where before there was no perception other than pain, I was now free. All this happened in an instant. I will never forget it.
    Today I believe that my spiritual awakening was orchestrated by some higher being, that wanted to alert me to the world in which there was no pain, nor division.
    So to realize that we are all dead already is the same as saying that there is no death to fear.
    Thats how I understood its meaning back then.
    Then I went and woke up my partner (ex husband) and told him that I had received a miraculous healing.

    For what its worth....a couple of nights ago I had a dream where I asked
    Quote Tell me what I need to know
    and a man with glasses and a bald head, who was chopping up a rabbit to cook said to me
    Quote you are already dead
    meaning full or meaning less?
    either way!
    me thinks its a subtle hint to the below philosophy

    forget about it in an instant and move on, with a loving and forgiving attitude,
    My life motto! I have begun to temper it with Hagakure... it's an excellent way to work on that inner landscape and re-order/shape your perspective.


    I'm sure there's nothing out there that will happen that we cannot adapt to and I'm convinced that humanity always improves in the face of a challenge.

    some are harder than others.
    its a temporal philosophy which centers around the "I am already dead" mentality.

    its a way to triage life's situations and focus on what is truly important to you; as you view everything from your death bed...

    It's the Samurai philosophy.
