Desperate for Answers

April 29 at 1 pm

On December 21, 1997, University of Colorado senior Susannah Chase was brutally beaten
and left for dead in an alleyway just blocks away from her home. After 8 years--the case is
cold and remains unsolved. Desperate to find answers, Susannah's family asks detectives to
reach out to two gifted psychics who work quietly with police departments around the country
Laurie Campbell and Pam Coronado. Can these two psychics use their exceptional skills to
re-examine the case and provide new clues to point police in new directions? Can they
actually "sense" murder?
The Boulder Police Department would like the anonymous caller who left information
about what they heard in the Denton County, Tex., jail to call them back. They can reach
Detective Chuck Heidel directly at (303) 441-3339.

Missing Teens
April 5 at 8 pm
On August 24, 1979, high school sweethearts Mary Leonard, 17, and Ricky Beard, 19, vanished.
Their families never lost hope that they might return, until six years later, when their remains were
discovered in a wooded area. An autopsy confirmed that they had been murdered. Police in Akron,
Ohio, have investigated the case for 27 years with no arrests. Now, with the permission of the
families, they are calling in two of America's most respected psychics, Laurie Campbell and
Pam Coronado. Psychics believe that objects that belonged to the victims including photographs,
and even the crime scene, retain an energy that allows them to see the crime. Can they use their
unique skills to provide new clues? Can they actually sense murder?

Fertility Workshop

Dear Friends:
I am going to be hosting a telephone healing conference/session focusing
on Your Fertility on Saturday, September 13. If someone you love wants
to have a child/children and is encountering challenges, please let them
know about this healing session.

With healing energy, sometimes, even after years of infertility, the blocks
are very easily resolved. Especially in “unexplained” infertility . . .it can
be relatively easy to shift the energy and open the gates to bringing in a
beautiful new soul. I’ve even done healings with a woman who had gone
into premature menopause due to chemotherapy, and her cycle came back
after just two or three sessions. Several other women who had stopped
having regular cycles began to cycle again after a session or two. One
woman who had very high FSH (a hormone that measures fertility) had
normal numbers, in the fertile range, after a session or two- for the first
time since being tested.

In this session, I will answer questions, give pointers on self-healing, and
lead eve ryone on the call in a guided healing session. We will also be
transmitting healing energy to everyone in the group.

Session: One Hour
Time:Saturday, September 13, 10 a.m. Pacific Standard Time,
1 p.m., Eastern Standard Time.
Fee: $25

To participate, please email me at healinglightpath@yahoo.com and
we will invoice you by paypal and send you the conference call in #
and other details. Please include any questions you have and any
information about your situation that you would like me to know.

Gluten, the Latest Dietary Villain
Is It Good or Bad? The Jury Is Still Out
By KATE MURPHY, The New York Times

Brandi Walzer, a 29-year-old cartographer in Savannah, Ga., loves bread, not to
mention pizza and beer. But she tries to avoid them, because they contain gluten --
a substance she says upsets her stomach, aggravates her arthritis and touches off
depression.

She is among a growing number of Americans who believe that gluten -- a protein
found in wheat, barley and rye -- is responsible for a variety of ills, from skin eruptions
to infertility to anxiety to gas. Though diagnostic tests have not indicated she has an
allergy or sensitivity to gluten, she nonetheless says she is better off without it.

"I struggle with sticking to a gluten-free diet," she said, "but when I do, I feel much
better."

There is no question that eating gluten aggravates celiac disease, an autoimmune
disorder that damages the small intestine and interferes with absorption of nutrients.
But doctors say it is unclear whether gluten can be blamed for other problems.

Nevertheless, it has become a popular dietary villain. Gluten-free foods are
popping up on grocery-store shelves and restaurant menus, including those
of national chains like P. F. Chang's and Outback Steakhouse. Warnings of
gluten's evils are common on alternative medicine Web sites and message
boards.

"A lot of alternative practitioners like chiropractors have picked up on it and
are waving around magic silver balls, crystals and such, telling people they have
gluten intolerance," said Dr. Don W. Powell, a gastroenterologist at the University
of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston.

Sloane Miller, a 35-year-old freelance editor in New York, went on a gluten-free
diet six months ago on the advice of her acupuncturist, even though a blood test and
a biopsy indicated that she did not have celiac disease. Long plagued with gastrointestinal
distress and believing that she might have an undetectable sensitivity to gluten,
Ms. Miller said giving it up was "worth a try."

Dr. Joseph A. Murray, a gastroenterologist at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn.,
who specializes in diagnosing and treating celiac disease, says such advice may be
misguided. "There's this ‘go blame gluten' thing going on," he said. "It's difficult to
sort out science from the belief."

To be sure, whole wheat and other cereal grains that contain gluten can be hard
to digest. The bran and germ components tend to pass through the alimentary canal
intact, which is why they are often prescribed as a sort of natural broom to relieve
constipation and why they can also cause gas and diarrhea.

Processed and refined wheat products can cause a spike in blood sugar, followed
by a drop, that can also make people feel ill. "If you stop eating the beloved Twinkie
or fast foods because they contain wheat, then sure you're going to feel better,
" Dr. Murray said. Indeed, many people go on a gluten-free diet not to cure some
ill but to lose weight by cutting down on carbohydrates.

Gluten is relatively new to the human diet, as wheat cultivation began only some
10,000 years ago. Now it is ubiquitous, not only in processed foods (including
salad dressings, ice cream and peanut butter) but even in the adhesives on envelopes
as well as in lipsticks and lotions. "It's very hard to get away from gluten," said
Dr. Powell of the University of Texas.

Gluten is also making headlines now, because some Chinese suppliers are accused
of slipping the industrial chemical melamine into wheat gluten that was added to
American pet food, resulting in a product recall. But there is no indication that the
contaminated gluten got into the human food supply.

While gluten allergies that provoke an immune response like hives or respiratory
problems are rare, celiac disease is more common than once thought. The prevalence
in North America was previously estimated at about 1 in 3,000, but several studies
published in the last three years indicate that it is closer to 1 in 100 -- and 1 in 22 for
those with risk factors like having an immediate relative with celiac disease.

Though no one knows for sure, the revised numbers can probably be attributed to
increasing incidence as well as better screening tools. "Chances are now that people
actually know someone who has it," said Dr. Peter H. R. Green, director of the
Celiac Disease Center at Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons.

With increased awareness, he said, more people have begun to suspect that they
have celiac disease or some milder form of gluten intolerance and decide to eliminate
wheat, barley and rye from their diet without proper diagnosis. Ms. Walzer, for
example, gave up gluten a year and half ago upon learning she had symptoms similar
to those of a co-worker with celiac disease.

Though no test for celiac disease is definitive, the most powerful indicator is a
blood test widely used for three years that measures levels of antitissue transglutaminase,
or anti-tTG, the antibodies to an enzyme the body secretes when gluten irritates or
damages the small intestine.

People with celiac disease have high levels of anti-tTG, suggesting that the body is
attacking its own secretions. This autoimmune response leads to destruction of the
lining of the small intestine and consequent malabsorption of nutrients. (The test will
not be accurate if someone has already stopped eating gluten.) The blood test is
usually followed by a duodenal biopsy before a diagnosis of celiac disease is made.
The final proof is reversal of symptoms on a gluten-free diet.

Earlier blood tests and a DNA test were far less predictive, and celiac disease
has been difficult to identify, especially because its symptoms vary widely. Ann
Austin McCormick, a 64-year-old retired elementary school principal in Crosslake,
Minn., said she had chronic diarrhea and anemia before she got a diagnosis of celiac
disease five years ago. Colin Leslie, a 15-year-old high school student in Rye, N.Y.,
said he suffered from severe joint pain and headaches before receiving a diagnosis in
2005.

Still others have no symptoms at all -- merely a latent form of the disease that
may become apparent only after a stressful physiological or psychological event
like a serious illness or death of a spouse.

Researchers in the United States, Italy and Great Britain have hypothesized that
the incidence of celiac disease is on the rise worldwide because wheat has become
so prevalent in the Western diet that humans are actually overdosing on it. While
debatable, this view could also account for cases like those of Ms. Walzer and
Ms. Miller, who believe they have subclinical gluten sensitivity.

Currently, the only treatment for celiac disease or a more subjective gluten
sensitivity is to avoid eating anything containing gluten. Sensing an opportunity,
several companies, including Alba Therapeutics and Alvine Pharmaceuticals Inc.,
are working to find drugs to inhibit the destructive autoimmune response to gluten
that is characteristic of celiac disease.

And dietary supplement makers are in a race to develop enzyme formulations
that will help people digest gluten, just as lactase pills and drops were developed
in the 1980s to help people digest lactose in dairy products.

But with supermarkets brimming with gluten-free breads, cereals, cakes and
cookies and restaurants serving gluten-free pastas, pizzas and beer, it has
become far less difficult to stay on a gluten-free diet.

"It's easy to go gluten-free," Ms. Miller said. "I don't miss it at all."

Nepal Boy Called Reincarnation of Buddha
Yahoo News Nov 22nd 2005

KATMANDU, Nepal - A teenage boy has been meditating in a Nepalese jungle
for six months, and thousands have flocked to see him, with some believing he
is the reincarnation of Buddha, police and media said Wednesday

Ram Bahadur Banjan, 15, sits cross-legged and motionless with eyes closed
among the roots of a tree in the jungle of Bara, about 100 miles south of the
capital, Katmandu.

He's supposedly been that way since May 17 — but his followers have been
keeping him from public view at night.

A reporter for the Kantipur newspaper, Sujit Mahat, said he spent two days
at the site, and that about 10,000 people are believed to visit daily.

Soldiers have been posted in the area for crowd control, officials said.

A makeshift parking lot and cluster of food stalls have sprung up near Banjan's retreat, an area not previously frequented by visitors.

Many visitors believe Banjan is a reincarnation of Gautama Siddhartha, who
was born not far away in southwestern Nepal around 500 B.C. and later
became revered as the Buddha, which means Enlightened One.

Others aren't so sure.

Police inspector Chitra Bahadur Gurung said officers have interviewed the
boy's associates about their claim that Banjan has gone six months without
food or drink.

Officers have not directly questioned the boy, who appears deep in meditation
and doesn't speak.

"We have a team ... investigating the claim on how anyone can survive for
so long without food and water," Gurung said.

Local officials have also asked the Royal Nepal Academy of Science and
Technology in Katmandu to send scientists to examine Banjan.

Mahat said visitors can catch a glimpse of Banjan from a roped-off area
about 80 feet away from him between dawn and dusk.

Followers then place a screen in front of him, blocking the view and making
it impossible to know what he is doing at night, Mahat said.

"We could not say what happens after dark," Mahat said. "People only saw
what went on in the day, and many believed he was some kind of god."

Buddhism teaches that right thinking and self-control can enable people to
achieve nirvana — a divine state of peace and release from desire. Buddhism
has about 325 million followers, mostly in Asia.

Meditate on This:
Buddhist Tradition Thickens Parts of the Brain

LiveScience Staff

LiveScience.com Fri Nov 11,12:00 PM ET

Meditation alters brain patterns in ways that are likely permanent, scientists have known. But a new study shows key parts of the brain actually get thicker through
the practice.

Brain imaging of regular working folks who meditate regularly revealed increased thickness in cortical regions related to sensory, auditory and visual perception, as
well as internal perception -- the automatic monitoring of heart rate or breathing,
for example.

The study also indicates that regular meditation may slow age-related thinning of
the frontal cortex.

"What is most fascinating to me is the suggestion that meditation practice can change anyone's gray matter," said study team member Jeremy Gray, an assistant professor of psychology at Yale. "The study participants were people with jobs and families. They just meditated on average 40 minutes each day, you don't have to be a monk."

The research was led by Sara Lazar, assistant in psychology at Massachusetts General Hospital. It is detailed in the November issue of the journal NeuroReport.

The study involved a small number of people, just 20. All had extensive training
in Buddhist Insight meditation. But the researchers say the results are significant.

Most of the brain regions identified to be changed through meditation were found
in the right hemisphere, which is essential for sustaining attention. And attention is
the focus of the meditation.

Other forms of yoga and meditation likely have a similar impact on brain structure, the researchers speculate, but each tradition probably has a slightly different pattern
of cortical thickening based on the specific mental exercises involved.
