**********************************************************************************

Hello Folks,

I am here once again with lots of uplifting good news! Your diet coke is killing
you!

You heard that right. If you are drinking any kind of diet cola or drink, or
consuming any sugar free gum, or any sugar substitute like Equal, Nutrasweet or
Spoonful, I got news for you.

This article can save you or your loved ones from serious illnesses like brain
tumors, leukemia, Alzheimer's, multiple sclerosis, diabetes, epilepsy, birth
defects, chronic fatigue syndrome, Parkinson's and many more! So I suggest you
start paying attention and share it with as many people as you can.

Ok, here is the background:

The substance that is used to sweeten your diet drink and sugar free foods
(including Diet Coke, Diet Pepsi, Kool Aid, Listerine Strips, different sugar
free gums etc) is called Aspartame. Aspartame is also the technical name for
brand names like NutraSweet, Equal, Spoonful and other sugar alternatives.
Aspartame was discovered by accident in 1965 by a chemist of G.D Searle Company.
G.D Searle tried to get approval from the FDA in United States in 1974 but
failed due to objections from a neuroscience researcher named Dr John Olney and
a consumer attorney named James Turner. For the time being, the FDA put the
approval on hold to carry out further investigation. However, aspartame was
allowed on 1981 for dry goods and 1983 for carbonated beverages.

Aspartame is, by far, the most dangerous substance on the market that is added
to foods. It is responsible for headaches/migraines, heart palpitations,
fatigue, irritability, tachycardia, insomnia, vision problems, breathing
difficulties, anxiety attacks, slurred speech, seizures, nausea, numbness,
muscle spasms, weight gain, depression, vertigo, memory loss, and joint pain.

According to recent studies it is also responsible for triggering or worsening
brain tumors, multiple sclerosis, birth defects, epilepsy, chronic fatigue
syndrome, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's, mental retardation, and diabetes.

So why was aspartame approved by the FDA? Well, for many years FDA not only
refused to approve it, but took G. D. Searle to court indicting them under Title
18, Section 1001 for "their willful and knowing failure to make reports to the
FDA required... and for concealing material facts and making false statements in
reports of animal studies conducted to establish the safety of aspartame."

You know why? Because in 1969, Searle conducted a study with Dr Harry Waisman on
the effects of aspartame on primates. Seven baby monkeys were given Aspartame in
milk. One died after 300 days; five others had grand mal seizures. Searle
eliminated these findings when they submitted this study to the FDA!

So that's pretty huge right? And Searle should have been stopped from producing
this dangerous chemical forever right? Unfortunately there was a famous man in
this story who had very high stakes in Aspartame.

The CEO of G D Searle at the time was Donald Rumsfeld (retired defense secretary
for the Bush administration who de facto led the Iraq war)! Mr Rumsfeld said he
would ensure that aspartame gets approved even though the FDA said no. He was
also on President Reagan's transition team at the time.

The story of how Rumsfeld accomplished this was told by the attorney James
Turner in a documentary on aspartame called "Sweet Misery: A Poisoned World" you
can visit the site here:

www.soundandfury.tv/pages/sweet%20misery.html

And here are some videos where you can see Mr Turner narrate the story of how
greed kills millions of people for years to come!

http://www.redefineyourreality.com/aspartame-poisoning.htm

In 1985, the G.D Searle Company was bought over by Monsanto. The first thing
Monsanto did was make the Searle Pharmaceuticals and NutraSweet Company separate
subsidiaries.

Now Monsanto is also one of the world's biggest companies that produce
genetically modified foods and other chemicals that go into foods and food
production. Monsanto is also known for producing pesticides.

Now we are talking about a multi billion dollar industry called the diet drink
industry. Just like CFC (which almost destroyed the earths climate because of
its long term destructive properties yet was popularized for more than 40 years
as the magic chemical that makes money yet is environment friendly, until we had
the Ozone Hole) and Trans-fats (that clog your arteries and makes you obese and
responsible for numerous other diseases yet millions of people around the world
are eating KFC), Aspartame also is very preciously protected because its HIGHLY
PROFITABLE!

In 1992 the Flying Safety Magazine published articles about the dangers of
Aspartame and mentioned that some people could be immediately affected by
Aspartame with as small doses as a chewing gum. And here is the most interesting
piece of information:

Major airline pilots are not allowed drink or consume Aspartame containing
goods! You know why? Because it increases the risk of headaches, seizures, heart
palpitations, depression, slurred speech, loss of memory, loss of sensation in
lower legs, loss of equilibrium, vertigo, anxiety attacks, chronic fatigue,
vision loss, etc. How nice is that? Now you can stop worrying because even if
you might be killing yourself with Aspartame poisoning, you should be happy
knowing that at least you are going to reach your destination in one piece.

Now I know, in your mind you might be thinking well, diet drinks at least keep
your weight in check! Right? Well, does it really?

Aspartame has actually been known to contribute to weight problem and obesity
even though it is used in diet drinks. Of course it doesn't cause over weight
issues the same way that sugar does, but it causes obesity by creating some very
harmful toxic materials in the body. It also makes you crave carbohydrates which
makes you gain weight. These toxins are often stored by the body in fat
particularly on the hips and thighs. Not surprising that millions of overweight
people around the world are drinking diet Coke, Pepsi and other drinks for years
and still not loosing any weight!

In the famous book Excitotoxins: The Taste that Kills, Russell Blaylock, a
neurosurgeon, says aspartame may trigger clinical diabetes! He says that
excitotoxins such as NutraSweet literally stimulate neurons to death, causing
brain damage of varying degrees. "What really concerns me about aspartame," he
says, "is its association with brain tumors as well as pancreatic, uterine and
ovarian tumors. ... and that so many develop an Alzheimers-like syndrome with
prolonged exposure."

Dr Blaylock also commented: "The new study released in the European Journal of
oncology by Morando Soffritti and co-workers should terrify mothers and all
those consuming aspartame sweetened products..."

"This study confirmed the previous study by Dr. Trocho and co-workers, which
also found the formaldehyde breakdown product of aspartame to be damaging to
cellular DNA and that this damage was accumulative. The type of damage was a
duplicate of that associated with cancers. Along with this most recent study,
this means that drinking a single diet cola sweetened with aspartame every day
could increase one's risk of developing a lymphoma or leukemia."

Unfortunately, even as I write this today, millions of people around the world
are sipping on their "sugar free" and "zero calorie" poison. Every year millions
of dollars are spent on marketing and advertising diet drinks with slim and
petite women in on the billboards and TV. Little do the ignorant consumers
realize that they are paying with their health, their children's health, and
their grandchildren's health everyday to make people like Rumsfeld and companies
like Searle and NutraSweet richer and richer.

On the other hand people like me, Dr Betty Martini (who is the world leader in
exposing the ill effects of chemical sweeteners) and hundreds of others are
trying their best to reach as many people as possible around the world. But we
are up against billions of dollars worth combined advertising and marketing
budget of the diet drink companies, processed food companies etc.

How much chance do we have to break through the noise of these mega budget
campaigns? I don't know. But I would like to believe that we are making a
difference... That you would read this letter today and never touch any
aspartame related product ever again. That you would take the initiative to tell
as many people as you can in person, on the phone, via email, in the next office
meeting or whatever else you can think of. If you do that, we take a step
forward and we shall win. If you don't, then all of this effort is worthless.

Think about it.

If you would like to help the movement and help thousands, if not millions of
people around the planet, Forward this email to at least 5 of your friends, family or loved ones.

Lastly, here is one book about natural protection and cure from cancer that I
highly recommend you look at:

"Natural Cancer Treatments" is the most comprehensive book of its kind you will
find anywhere in the world. Over 350 treatments and 400 pages fully-indexed with
a comprehensive table of contents to quickly locate information that is relevant
to you, your friend, or a loved one. Get it here:

Spread the word and let more and more people live a life of health, abundance
and happiness!

I wish you and your loved ones a happy, healthy, poison free day.

Happy?

Good Morning!

Are you happy? I do hope you say YES!!!

Now.. Why are you happy?

Are you going to tell me ... because I have this special person in my life? because I have a good job? because I have... (fill in the blank)?

Within the past few weeks, I have had conversations with people in which their happiness is based on having. This got me to thinking, "so if you lose this thing~whatever that thing may be~, you will be unhappy".

If you continue to base your happiness on "because I have", it may not last.

We, as humans, tend to base our happiness on what can be acquired. I will be happy when I have the perfect job, when I find the perfect love, when I can buy this car, when I have this house... when, when, when. Yet, when we do acquire those certain things, we replace that with another. Yes, we may be happy for a while once we get that new car or house or relationship, but we often find something else that will make us happier. LOL! Vicious circle, no?

Happiness must come from the inside. Take responsibility for your own happiness, don't give it away to someONE or someTHING. Practice gratitude for everything in your life now - yes... even the trials and tribulations because you are learning something from them that will bring change. Love yourself enough to know that you are a unique being with your very own special talents and gifts to share with this world. Love yourself enough to take care of your health, to nurture your spirituality, to remember who you are.

You are Magnificent! You are Love! You are a physical manifestation of Universe!
Feel it, Embrace it, Live it.

Always In Love & Light,
Jenn

Other People's Opinions

Other People's Opinions of Me are None of My Business

I seem to be repeating this phrase to a few of my friends lately... This statement played an important role in my own personal development.

Think about that statement. Reflect what it means.

I was, at first, confused by this. What do you mean other peoples' opinions are none of my business? Seriously, why wouldn't it be my business. It is an opinion of me after all....And then it dawned on me. The only opinion that truly matters is the opinion you have of yourself.

People are either going to like you for who you are.. or they are not. We cannot please everyone in life, so we need to make sure that we please ourselves. Do you like yourself? Do you love yourself? Are you living your dreams? If not, then you are not truly happy. It is when we are filled with self-doubt and the "lack" mentality that we look outside ourselves for the opinions.

I'm not saying that it doesn't feel good to hear someone share their positive opinions.. it does! Let it be a reminder of how wonderful you are! But it also feels bad to hear when someone doesn't like you... are you going to let that bring you down? Kill your self-confidence? I'm sure not! I'm going to fall back on my own opinion of myself and remember that I love me and that is all that really matters.

Now don't forget that this also works in reverse... be careful of how you judge others and what opinions you're sharing. You do not know the ultimate purpose the Universe has for the person you are judging. Now, we are human and most likely not going to be perfect at this, but keep it forward in your mind that you do not wish to be judged. Let's share love and understanding first!

Namaste!

Ways to a More Positive Attitude #3

We all know that Love is important in our lives and the energy of the world. But are you loving yourself?

I'm talking about the unconditional kind of love for self, the same love you receive from Source. Or do you look in the mirror and see all things you need to "fix" in order to be happy? or feel beautiful?

We need to let go of Society's belief of what makes someone beautiful. Beauty is not all about how we look on the outside. It is all about Who we are...

We are spirit living in human form.

I'm not saying that I am perfect at this... not by any means...yet. :) But I do work on this every day. I am grateful for my body... otherwise I would not be here! This body helps me to experience this world. And sure, there are things about myself which I would like to improve... like the extra area of the belly...but I am learning not to focus on those things. Remember that what your attention on is what you will continue to attract.

So, look in that mirror, hug yourself, and tell yourself "I Love You". Let that love light shine through you, radiating out to the world. I suggest doing this everyday!

You deserve it!
You are worth it!
You are Love!

Whenever you start slipping into putting yourself down, take some deep breaths and reset your focus to loving yourself.

I would love to hear from any of you who try this!

I Love You!

Always in love & light,
Jenn

Ways to a more positive attitude #2

Read this carefully.....
This is a very important statement...


YOU ARE MAGNIFICENT!!!

:)

How can you be anything but magnificent?

Sure, you may have been told that you aren't. Maybe you don't feel that you are. But remember that you are a magnificent creation. Source, Universe, God... whatever you call that energy... created you and desires you to be who you are. Don't be afraid to let your spirit shine.

Love yourself and be the magnificent YOU!

Here is a link to Brad Yates' EFT to help you clear out why you may not be magnificent. You are Magnificent

I use his EFT sessions all the time! I highly recommend giving Brad a try.

Always In Love & Light,
Jenn

Ways to a more positive attitude

You know those questions....

Why can't I be happy?
Why does this stuff always happen to me?
Why can't I do anything right?
Why can't I lose weight?
Why, Why, Why.... ?

First, look at these questions.... they are not positive... they are focusing your attention on "lack". We have been brought up to believe in the lack mentality.

Think about it for a moment... All those "old sayings" which we heard time and again.

Life isn't easy or fair.
The rich get richer and the poor get poorer.
You have to work hard to get anything or go anywhere in life.

I could go on and on... but I'm not going to! You know what I'm talking about. Sit down for a few moments and write them out. Get those beliefs down on paper.

Now... go back and look at them. How do you feel when you read these statements, these beliefs?

What happens when you change them?

Example: The rich get richer and the poor get poorer.
Change to: Money flows easily and abundantly into my life.

Now, how do you feel?

Maybe it isn't your "truth" right now, but when you focus on what you really want - money to flow easily & abundantly - then you're NOT focusing on what you don't want - I am poor.

Remember that old saying: "Whatever you give out, comes back to you". Well if you are giving out the thought and belief that you are poor, what do you think you are going to get in return?

Apply this to all aspects of your life. Relationships, work, money, happiness......

Your thoughts become things.... choose the good ones!

Consciously or not, you have created your own world, your own reality. Your thoughts and beliefs have manifested into what is your life today. BUT, Today is a brand new day. Take charge of your life. Take responsibility for your life and what you have created.

God, The Universe, The Origin... Whatever you want to call that source, that energy, wants you to live in abundance. Wants you to live your dream life. So Dream It! Imagine your life the way you want it. I'm not saying it will happen overnight, but it will happen. Do be specific, take some time each day to imagine your dream life... let it make you smile, feel how good that will be. Hold on to Those feelings. Know and trust that your dreams will come true and be grateful for it today. You will be guided.

That's all for today!

In Love & Light,
Jenn

One Small Click for You. One GIANT Click for Humankind

Today, I want to share something VERY powerful with you. It is my hope that when you are through reading this email, you will feel as empowered as I do!

I received an email the other day from a friend of mine and it told the story of how a man woke up one morning concerned about two dear friends who were under bombardment - one in Lebanon, the other in Israel. Then came the nagging question, "What can I do to help?"

Immediately, came his inspired answer…
"10 Million Clicks for Peace."


He then emailed 3 of his friends with his idea. Within the day a core team of like-minded people was assembled, and with it, the opportunity to really do something to create peace in the world. Everyone with an Internet connection could help.

The "10 Million Clicks for Peace" project is endorsed and supported by best-selling authors and top self-development experts, sports and Hollywood celebrities, leaders in the business field as well as peace organizations and leaders in the peace movement.



I too endorse and support this project.



To fully understand why I used "One Small Click for You. One GIANT Click for Humankind" as the Subject for this email, click this link. One click truly can change the world: http://www.10millionclicksforpeace.org


Yours, for a more peaceful planet,


Jenn



P.S. You never need think again that you can't do something significant to help make this world a better place!

Okay... I know...

Yes, I know that I haven't been posting to this blog. I was scared...

Those questions of what if people don't want to read my blog? What if people don't like me? What if, what if, what if...

I am ready to let go of those What If's now.

So, on that note....

Thank you for joining me on this post! I am grateful for you.

I am linking my new website to my profile... so exciting! I finally received my Massage Therapy license in October 2008 and am looking forward to helping others relax.

So many people live their lives in chaos and stress... so not good for our bodies, minds, and spirits...

Wow, we need to learn to let go and relax.

Massage is not just to pamper yourself anymore. Massage has become a wonderful tool to health and happiness. Think about it.... Giving yourself the gift of an hour of relaxation. All you have to do is lay there and enjoy yourself. Fall asleep if you want...

When you are more relaxed, your body feels good; your mind calms and you can think; your emotions are more calm, and you're able to listen to your spirit, your inner-guidance.

I am very grateful for the opportunity to share this gift with others.

Til next time!
In Love & Light,
Jenn
