By Tania Penwell The focus of the Perricone diet, i.e. the diet plan set by renowned dermatologist Dr. Nicholas Perricone, is on looking younger and increasing longevity rather than on bringing about weight loss. These are a host of benefits that such diet plan provides. Here are the commonly observed gains reaped by resorting to the diet plan-Decreasing of inflammation in all organ systems of the body.Improving body metabolism.Improving the heart condition and making it resistant to diseases.Improving bone density.Bringing about a rejuvenation of the immune system.Decreasing the risk of cancer.Helping in repairing the skin.Helping to bring weight loss. These are significant health benefits indeed and these account for the popularity of the diet plan the world over. People following it have been acclaiming the Perricone diet plan and have been recommending it to others too. The Perricone diet plan basics The Perricone diet is set based on Dr. Nicholas Perricones Inflammation Theory of Aging that points out that the food that is eaten by us leads to inflammations being caused and it is this inflammation that leads to aging. Just as in case of other fad diets there is a villain in case of Perricone diet too. The villain or culprit that is to be dealt with/combated by the Perricone diet is inflammation. Inflammations or the swellings are the causative factors of wrinkles, acne and other skin problems. These are the causes of a number of other medical problems too. The root cause of the inflammations or swellings lies in taking in the wrong foods. It is the bad or wrong choices of foods that are directly responsible for the wrinkles, degenerative diseases etc. as also of the hastening of the aging process. According to Dr. Nicholas Perricone, by adhering to the diet schedule as set by him- following his diet and regimen of supplements and lotions the process of aging can actually be reversed. The Perricone diet assures to make anyone look younger within a time period of even just three days. It must be remembered that the Perricone diet is a costly diet and requires strict adherence. The diet classifies inflammatory foods as the ones that include high carbohydrate and high glycerin items. Bread, pasta and sugar or sugar containing foods are some common inflammatory foods. As per the diet plan such foods ought to be totally excluded from the diet for a continuous period of 28 days and in their place anti inflammatory food items like salmon, avocado, berries etc. are to be taken in. This will ensure better health and will benefit the skin too. So, a healthier and more attractive body and skin is what is achieved by having recourse to the Perricone diet. Some Perricone diet suggestions seem sensible and rest on accepted scientific bases while others may seem not explanatory enough. However, though the diet is unproven to a large extent yet its benefits being apparent qualifies it as a worthy diet plan to follow. ***You may use this article on your website as long as the two URLs are hyperlinked.

By Marilynn Dawson The term Scripture uses to describe the activities of those who attempt to sell-out Israel comes to mind. “Treacherous!” Prime Minister Ariel Sharon is being underhanded, deceptive, manipulative, and threatening. In other words, “treacherous” against his own citizens and Land! He is giving-in to the Palestinian’ demands, and is turning Israeli Land over to the enemies of G_d and of Israel. Daily, we hear of incriminating information as to how the Disengagement Plan came about, and the terrible manner in which it is to be implemented. Daily, and now hourly, innocent people are being threatened with arrests, incarceration, intimidation; and under the latest directive issued from Sharon, “whatever it takes,” which could include violence, and possibly civil war. And, his stance is against innocent men, women, and children, descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, who love the Torah, have faith in the L_RD, and love the Land. Treachery! The prophet Isaiah speaks the Word of the L_RD for this very time! Isaiah 24:13 When thus it shall be in the midst of the land among the people, there shall be as the shaking of an olive tree, and as the gleaning grapes when the vintage is done. Isa 24:14 They shall lift up their voice, they shall sing for the majesty of the LORD, they shall cry aloud from the sea. Isa 24:15 Wherefore glorify ye the LORD in the fires, even the name of the LORD God of Israel in the isles of the sea. Isa 24:16 From the uttermost part of the earth have we heard songs, even glory to the righteous. But I said, My leanness, my leanness, woe unto me! the treacherous dealers have dealt treacherously; yea, the treacherous dealers have dealt very treacherously. Isa 24:17 Fear, and the pit, and the snare, are upon thee, O inhabitant of the earth. Isa 24:18 And it shall come to pass, that he who fleeth from the noise of the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that cometh up out of the midst of the pit shall be taken in the snare: for the windows from on high are open, and the foundations of the earth do shake. Isa 24:19 The earth is utterly broken down, the earth is clean dissolved, the earth is moved exceedingly. Isa 24:20 The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, and shall be removed like a cottage; and the transgression thereof shall be heavy upon it; and it shall fall, and not rise again. Isa 24:21 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall punish the host of the high ones that are on high, and the kings of the earth upon the earth. Isa 24:22 And they shall be gathered together, as prisoners are gathered in the pit, and shall be shut up in the prison, and after many days shall they be visited. Isa 24:23 Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed, when the LORD of hosts shall reign in mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and before his ancients gloriously. Notice the shaking of the olive tree, Israel, takes place in “the midst of the land among the people.” That means, Israel is a national entity when the treachery takes place. The righteous are those who have repented, love the L_RD, and love Israel, and sing songs of praise to the L_RD from among the nations. This includes both Jews and righteous Gentiles. This cry from among those who love the L_RD with all their hearts is being heard from among both Jews and many Christians, who take G_d’s revealed Word as eternal truth. But meanwhile, the treacherous are dealing out their treachery even while this upholding of the truth in praise and glory to the L_RD is going forth. The context here in Isaiah is not refering to ancient Israel, but rather refers to our time, because there were few righteous to glorify the L_RD in Israel in ancient times, ( that’s why the L_RD judged them,) and certainly far fewer among the other nations. The Word of the LORD had not gone out to all nations in ancient times, because Israel was disobedient to the L_RD at that time. But the Word of the L_RD has reached all nations in our time, and many glorify Him with singing from among all peoples. But, we must also notice the context describes conflict, likely excalating into world-wide war, where all nations will be involved. But the L_RD Himself will bring the victory, and will reign in mount Zion, before all the “ancients gloriously,” indicating there will be a great resurrection and ingathering when Messiah comes. There are two wars described in this passage in Isaiah chapter 14. The first conflict is described in verses 16-17. The second in verses 18-23. These come about primarily because of the treachery committed by Israel’s and the world’s leaders. It would appear Ariel Sharon and his henchmen have possibly ushered-in the treachery! But, the victory will be the L_RD’s!! No matter what transpires, keep your faith in the L_RD strong, because He has the last word!! Israel will be established forever, and ALL the Land of Covenant will be inhabited by the sons of Jacob! The time of Jacob’s Trouble may be on the horizon, but this time will also be short! The settlers will settle permanently in Yesha! Victory is assured, not because of man’s doings, but because the L_RD will bring it to pass! In light of the current situation in Israel, Isaiah chapter 14 is particularly interesting. Isaiah 14:29 “Rejoice not thou, whole Palestina, because the rod of him that smote thee is broken: for out of the serpent’s root shall come forth a cockatrice, and his fruit shall be a fiery flying serpent.” Isa 14:30 And the firstborn of the poor shall feed, and the needy shall lie down in safety: and I will kill thy root with famine, and he shall slay thy remnant. Isa 14:31 Howl, O gate; cry, O city; thou, whole Palestina, art dissolved: for there shall come from the north a smoke, and none shall be alone in his appointed times. Isa 14:32 What shall one then answer the messengers of the nation? That the LORD hath founded Zion, and the poor of his people shall trust in it. Who is the serpent? He is described in this same chapter in verses 12-15 as being Lucifer, who fell from heaven, and came to weaken the nations because he has an ego problem. He has a plan and mission to exalt himself above G_d. Where does he choose to carry out this mission? Verses 13 and 14 of Isaiah 14 states, For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: Isa 14:14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. He launches his planned take-over from a position of authority, headquartered from “the Mount of the congregation, ” with the ultimate goal to rise above the clouds, and above the Most High in Heaven. Where is the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north? It is the Temple Mount! Who occupies the Temple Mount? The Muslims! So what religious orientation will produce the one who obviously will be indwelt by Lucifer? Islam! He is the “cockatrice” who arises from the “serpent” and becomes powerful as “the fiery flying serpent.” He will have a very brief time of power, but will be defeated by the L_RD. Why does this personage choose the Temple Mount? He is trying to usurp the rule and reign of the rightful Ruler, and King of Israel, Messiah. And, he does not recognize the L_RD G_D of Israel!! He does not recognize the claim of the Jews to Mount Zion, but rather wishes to eliminate any recollection of the Jews having any claim to the Land, or to the Temple Mount, or to Jerusalem. Is this not the stance of the Muslims even now? The “treachery” is anyone in Israel giving any recognition to those who wish to perpetrate the diabolical plot, and in turning any portion of the Land over to such enemies! Ariel Sharon and his henchmen, both within Israel, and in concert with the international leaders, are on a very dangerous “Roadmap Plan!!” But, notice who is not to rejoice. “Palestina”. Who is “Palestina?” Palestine. Where, and what, is “Palestine?” ‘Palestine” is the name the Arabs have chosen to identify the region of the Middle East that the Arab Palestinians claim is theirs, and wish to wrest from Israel, from the People of the Covenant. So, it is the Palestinians who are not to rejoice! Why? To answer that question, back up to verse 1 of the Isaiah chapter 14. “For the LORD will have mercy on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and set them in their own land.” Keep in mind the context of the passage, which is regarding the restoration of Jacob to the Land forever, so is not ancient in prophetic orientation, but describes the re-establishment of Israel as a nation in the time of the end, which speaks to our generation. It is how this restoration is to be accomplished that is prophetic for the period we now face. Isaiah indicated many people and nations, willingly, and unwillingly, will be involved in restoring the land of Israel to the Jews. This restoration of Israel has been, and continues to be, orchestrated by the L_RD Himself! In the course of the re-establishment of Israel as a nation, the opposition arises through a specific group of people who identify themselves with “Palestine.” These will believe they will have reason to rejoice, but just when they think their goals are achievable, the tables will turn! However, if we read carefully, we realize the restoration of Israel includes much conflict. Israel is embroiled in this prophetic period of conflict right now! Since the Word of the L_RD through Isaiah the prophet is telling the Palestinians not to rejoice, there must be situations which, in human terms, could possibly give them reason to rejoice, except that G_d will not let their goals be permanently realized! So, who is being “treacherous?” Ariel Sharon and his crew! Who is the enemy? The Palestinians and their allies. Who will win? The L_RD G_d of Israel! Take heart. Strengthen your faith!

By Delilah Hatch Planning a low budget wedding? You don’t need to sacrifice style for those few extra dollars saved from your budget. If anyone understands the stress of planning a wedding it is me. They say some of the most stressful things you can do in life are planning a wedding and having a baby. I did both of those things all in the same year. In fact I was planning my wedding while I was pregnant. When my husband and I decided to get married we agreed to keep it simple. We weren’t really into the idea of a big elaborate ceremony. You know; the church, the expensive frilly dress, loads of flowers and the big reception party. So we were off to plan as simple a wedding as possible. We would stage a very simple ceremony with a justice of the peace. We would only invite our very closest of friends and family. We would not throw a huge party but simply make reservations for a semi quiet dinner at a nice restaurant. Well this is how we dreamed it would happen, and intended on it to happen, but it is not how it all went down. Once we got our parents involved it all went downhill from there. Word spread like wild fire throughout the families that we were getting married. The more that heard the news, the more people we were obligated to invite. Don’t get me wrong - it is not that we didn’t want them there but the more people invited the more money it would cost and we simply did not have it. A handful of guests turned into flying in cousins from seperate corners of the country. It basically turned into inviting the entire family! Soon there were no restaurants to fit the crowd of people we were to invite. And no small venue for the ceremony either. While I was busy endlessly searching for someplace nice (not to mention free) to stage the ceremony at, the family had started to take things into their own hands and start planning parts of the wedding for us. Before I knew it there were halls for the reception booked, cakes ordered, and a D.J. for the big party. OK so on one hand it was a nice thought to try and take some of the stress and pressure of planning this wedding off of me, but while they were helping to plan the wedding what they weren’t planning on was what all of this would cost! And boy oh boy does it cost! Caterers, bartenders, cake, dress, decorations just to name some! It all adds up fast. I’ll tell you at one point I was very close to calling it all off and eloping. Eventually every little detail did come together (after much agonizing) and the wedding went off without a hitch. It was absolutely beautiful and we had so much fun! I managed to pull it all off by cutting a few corners (and costs). I made my own decoration, centerpieces, and wedding invitations. I became a bargain shopper! One phrase to keep in mind - make it your mantra; keep it simple! Here’s a few ways I cut corners and dollars: * Where to hold the ceremony is one thing that could actually not cost you a dime! Search out a public garden or park. Lakes and beaches can be a good location also depending on the theme of your wedding. Keep in mind that some public places will require permission from the city or town. I held my ceremony in a gazebo at a public beach. I contacted the town hall and had to fill out papers for a permit to use the gazebo for the day. * Save money on flowers by holding the wedding at a garden. Another way to save on flowers would be to split the cost of flowers with another bride having their wedding on the same day. I lucked out on this as it just happened that there was a wedding earlier in the day on the same day as our wedding. They decorated the gazebo that morning. All we had to do was show up. * If you intend to have a Justice of the Peace marry you then make sure and hire someone from within the town you hold the ceremony in. Most charge a substantial amount less if they do not need to travel outside of town lines. * If you are going to rent a hall or venue for your reception ask around before you pick a place or even start looking. Chances are that you might know someone who knows someone who can help you out with a discount. My reception was held at a V.F.W hall. Just happened that a family member knew someone who worked there and gave us a deal! * Do some bargain shopping and come up with your own decorations for the reception. I wanted flowers arrangements for the centerpiece of every table, so I made them all myself. I bought vases candles and candle holders VERY CHEAP by shopping around. I then visited a flower shop. I talked to a sales girl and they were willing to give me a cheaper price since I was going to buy alot of the same flower. It was just like buying in bulk. They included baby’s breath and greens so I could make my own arrangements. The caterers were providing all of the linens so all I had to do was put my centerpieces together and place them on the tables. * Make your own invitations! I made all my own invitations, R.S.V.P. cards and printed little cards to fit into the inside with directions to the ceremony as well as the reception. For tips and instructions on how to make your own invitations without sacrificing style go to this site; do-it-yourself-invitations.com Follow these tips and hopefully you will have just as great a wedding as I did while keeping it well within your budget. After all the most important thing is that you and all your guest have a great time and a day to remember forever!

The subgenus Cerasus has a distinguishing characteristic with its flowers clumped together. The word cherry traces its roots from the Latin terms cerasum and Cerasus. This is the old name of the city of Giresun in Turkey. Aside from the fruit, cherries are also popular for their flowering trees. Flowering cherry trees are small but hardy trees. They are very popular to people who love flowers. They are even more popular because they signify the onset of the spring season.

By Robert Baird You all know the big dogs that carry rum to save Swiss or alpine skiers caught in a storm or some other trouble. That is not the St. Bernard I am contemplating but you might think this St. Bernard to be an even bigger dog once you get to know him. The intellectual and institutional evolution of these reform movements during the almost exactly one thousand years between Benedict of Nursia (who founded the monastery of Monte Cassino in about 529) and Martin Luther (who entered the monastery of the Augustinian Hermits at Erfurt in 1505) is a story of inestimable importance for the history of Europe and of the world. (13) Over and over, it was the primitive model of Christ as Monk, and of the monk as the imitator of the model, that animated these reform movements. There is in some ways a depressing repetition of pattern, as each monastic reform in its turn protests against decline and stagnation in the monasteries, sets up new administrative and disciplinary structures to reverse the downward trend, prevails for a century or two, and then proves itself vulnerable to the same tendencies of stagnation and decline. Benedict of Aniane in the Carolingian period; Odo of Cluny and the Cluniac reform movement a century or so later; about a century after that the monastic reformation that began at Citeaux, which through the powerful life and Christocentric thought of Saint Bernard spread the Cistercian message throughout Europe; then the friars of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries in their new dedication to the renewal; and, in reaction to the Protestant Reformation and under the inspiration of an intensified Christ-mysticism in sixteenth-century Spain, the Society of Jesus. (14) How much is Pelikan aware of in regards to the Alumbrados, Hibernian (Cathar/Troubadour), Iona Druidic sell-out and other higher order intrigues within the Luciferian or Heliopolitan through line since Tuthmosis III? I have addressed these things in many ways in other books and this book is going to try to flesh some of it out in greater detail. But clearly the Reformation did not just happen when the anti-Semite Luther saw a problem with popery and the other trappings of power. His image of Christ as monk is similar to the far more disciplined Monastic Order of Iona or The Isle of Druids which had large operations in the area of Greece as well as Ireland where the likes of St. Columba were taught. Iona maintained this high discipline over four centuries at least and I would not be surprised if it was then co-opted into the Cistercian Order. But John Dominic Crossan points out that Christ was a Cynic and wore the garb of the Cynic. Still one can see the Cynic is like the Druid too. In all cases they are indeed more mystical. 13) From Jesus Through The Centuries, op. cit.{Jaroslav Pelikan of Yale}, pgs. 116-7 we have, The chapters The Religious Orders and Fringe Orders and Anti-Orders in Richard W.

By Robert Baird “Christianity posits the realization of human freedom not here on earth but only in the Kingdom of Heaven.” (1) Fukayama tells us, and it seems to me he is interpreting what the dogma says; even though it fits his own slave and master concept taken by his evil predecessors. Right as he may be about Christianity, he is not right about the teaching of Jesus. Well, what good is there in such a belief system? It encourages no growth or potential for freedom while you are alive. It gives no insight to actual knowing of what exists hereafter, except through faith in someone telling you what is right. How can anyone accept such utter hogwash? Are we to be enslaved to such a cosmogony while alive? God grows too, and he would be dead if he didn’t. All things around us in nature say change is a good thing. Why would a ’social engineer’ like Fukayama tell us that Christianity is the ‘absolute religion’? Is this more expert inducement to be a slave? Methinks there is something rotten afoot, and not just in Denmark. His knowledge of early religions is not displayed in his book. I hope to show all religions have used knowledge that when others employ it they call it occult or some other derogatory name. I will have to show certain people and families in corporate or business life are also involved in the religions to the point of controlling them. His judgement seems uneducated and unwise to me. His good versus evil Nietzschean dialogue is not aware of the truth plainly available in the words of the Britannica in reference to Zoroaster. They say this good versus evil thing of Christianity with a battle being won by good is there 500 years earlier in Zoroastrianism. In truth it was there in Egypt’s Abraxas, and in the Keltic Creed and many other places. There is no merit in such assertions and the issuance of them from the hegemony makes me Blanche and sputter, at times. How can you say man is free only in heaven or the hereafter and hope to build positive models of behaviour? This is especially true when you can buy ’special dispensations’ or simply confess in order to gain forgiveness. This is the kind of religion the Mafia would love! The cover of Cahill’s book The Gifts of the Jews shows all the councils of the Christians are behind another ‘Bible Narrative’. Please question such authoritarian assurances and employ your own soulful sensibilities. When you are troubled do not desist, but rather persevere and learn to see the Peace they seek to destroy or hide from you. Shalom! Vivekananda, Swami Chinmayananda or lesser gurus are not the only adepts who teach self-mastery and how the mind or brain experiences the world around us. Rishis or Mahatmas are not regarded as occultists and yet the techniques they use have been shared for thousands of years by people throughout the world. Part of the whole issue of human cultural development is the Flat Earth fiction that continues to make people think that one point of view is better than some other point of view. It is as if the people of Europe think that their own leaders did not send their best students to get the best education or import the teachers who already had learned Tantra, and the Therapeutaes arts derived from Druidism and shamanism or the Magian arts. At some level you can find adepts in the most orthodox religions. The Sufis of Islam or the Carmelites and Santerians of Catholicism come to mind but there are many mystical or occult sects in Buddhism. “The universe is a self-organizing system engaged in the discovery and realization of its possibilities through a continuing process of transcendence towards ever higher levels of order and self-definition. Modern science has confirmed the ancient Hindu belief that all matter exists as a continuing dance of flowing energies. Yet matter is somehow able to maintain the integrity of its boundaries and internal structures in the midst of apparent disorder. Similarly the cells of a living organism, which are in a constant state of energy flux, maintain their individual integrity while functioning coherently as parts of larger wholes. This ability implies some form of self-knowledge in both inert matter and living organisms at each level of organization. Intelligence and consciousness may take many forms and are in some way pervasive even in matter. What we know of life may not be an accident of creation but rather integral to it, an attractor that shapes the creative unfolding of the cosmos. To the extent that these premises are true, they suggest we have scarcely begun to imagine, much less experience, the possibilities of our own capacity for intelligent self-aware living. Nor have we tested our potentials for self-directed cooperation as a foundation of modern social organization. Evolution, although it involves competitive struggles, violence and death, also involves love, nurturance, rebirth and regeneration-and is a fundamentally cooperative and intelligent enterprise. There is substantial evidence that it is entirely natural for healthy humans to live fully and mindfully in service to the unfolding capacities of self, community, and the planet. Yet in our forgetfulness, we have come to doubt this aspect of our own being. Nurturing the creative development of our capacities for mindful living should be a primary function of the institutions of civilized societies. It is time that we awaken from our forgetfulness and assume conscious responsibility for reshaping our institutions to this end. Written by David C. Korten in the prologue of “The Post-Corporate World” Life after capitalism http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1576750515/102-1126258-0124163 (2) There are many people who follow greatness or need to be lead and we must investigate any who tell us about great things they have experienced. This can be very difficult because what works for one person will not work for another person for reasons of their differentness as well as the constant availability of knowledge and direct cognition or what I call tap-ins. I provide a comment from one of Gurdjieffs students who saw others finding illumination in a way he personally found silly. This is an excerpt from William Welch M. D.s remembrances of this great man who saw most humans could not think or even feel their way to actual wisdom. Gurdjieffs structured dance allowed certain parts of the mind to integrate and then connect without any obstruction from the programming and fears of their lives. This is my personal opinion that you might not agree with too. This excerpt is in relation to the ritual of bathing and saunas that Gurdjieff did while in New York shortly before he passed away. I was astounded to read some years later that among the bemused adepts who participated in this droll ritual, one believed himself to have been initiated into some special level of illumination in the course of his gradual, and ultimately total, immersion. I am afraid my only illumination derived from the shuddering chill to which I never became wholly acclimated, as my fundament and its anterior appendages were finally plunged into the icy water.

But the fact is cyanide kills cells and results have been achieved by some people who might have attuned themselves with that small amount of Cyanide that Japanese researchers found in peach pits after the US researchers said there was no possible agent that could kill cancer cells in peach pits. The implications of this extend to genetic rituals that modern science cannot see the effects of, and other energy lattice memory or Intelligence. One of my correspondents is a genetic researcher at a university in the Midwestern United States and we both have found artifacts that indicate the use of harmonic attunement with matter in rocks and we are open to this same method being used in affecting the DNA of animal life including humans.
