HL- What led you to become a psychotherapist?
Starting in junior high school, I always loved talking with my friends and helping them work out boyfriend problems and anything else they were dealing with. As I got older, I discovered that helping people was a career choice and pursued it to acquire the skills to add to my innate love of finding solutions to difficulties and making life easier to deal with. It's a natural fit.

HL- What was your most fun TV interview as an expert?
Actually, there were many that were really fun. One TV show I really enjoyed was when I was featured as a guest on "To Tell the Truth" as the Sex Columnist for Redbook magazine. I managed to fool everyone, the audience, and celebrity panel!

HL- How do you relax?
The things I love to do to relax include reading thriller books, and magazines, doing yoga, listening to music, watching television, ballroom dancing, going to movies, going out to dinner, spending time with family and friends, shopping, traveling, and brushing my dog.

HL- When should someone seek a psychotherapist?
Someone should seek help when your unhappiness with yourself, a relationship you're in, or a situation you're dealing with such as a job, friendship, family matter affects you on a regular basis and leaves you feeling, alone, misunderstood, angry, disappointed, helpless, and stuck. That's the point at which these negative feelings can become like quicksand and make it hard for you to find your way out of their hold. Professional and objective help will give you both the perspective and the tools you can use to regain control and change things for the better for yourself.

HL-What do you like to cover on your "Doctor on Call" radio show? I love to talk with anyone who has some expertise in a given area that will be helpful to pass on to the listeners so that they can learn new information which they can then use to enhance their lives. Authors, doctors, comedians, educators, musicians, anyone who has a personal story to tell that will help others is welcome as a guest. Plus on the last Tuesday of the month at 11am PT we do a tasteful show called "Let's Talk Sex."

HL- How is your message universal?
We're so much more alike than different. We all want to feel good about ourselves, love and be loved, use our talents and be recognized for them, and ultimately to find meaning in life. My major in college was comparative religions, and I loved scribbling in the margins "I just read this same point in my Taoism class" or "This is also in the chapter on Judaism." These underlying truths that are in every spiritual tradition are what Aldous Huxley called The Perennial Philosophy. I think that the more we look at those underlying connectors, rather than at our differences, the better off we'll be.

HL- What can we expect on your future shows?
More interesting, exciting, and entertaining guests covering a range of topics that all deal with enhancing your self esteem and being your best self possible, including exercise, diet, skin, care as well as coping with illness and death and overcoming adversity in living.

HL- What is your favorite word and why?
My favorite word is fun. I love to have it; it's the best thing to share with everyone and anyone. I enjoy making each encounter fun, and making the difficult easier by turning challenges into fun.

HealthyLife.Net Radio - Back In the Time Capsule

noreply@blogger.com (Linda Mackenzie) — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 22:39:00 +0000

HealthyLife.Net Radio Network (2002-2012)

Celebrating 10 years of Positive Talk

Back into the Time Capsule: 2001

In September 2001, realizing that local radio stations and quality non-sensationalistic information was becoming practically nonexistent, Linda Mackenzie, an 18 year former data com engineer and 8 year terrestrial radio host, started looking for a solution. Her own all positive radio show was getting record listeners since first day of inception. She was getting 36-42 calls from listeners in the 40 minutes she opened the show up to callers.

Although she had tried for years to get her show syndicated and did with Wisdom Radio and PAX radio, major terrestrial radio stations did want to touch a positive show. They seemed to thrive on controversy and sensationalistic content designed to shock people.

So she planned for a year to see if it was feasible to start her own network – one with all positive talk that helped to eliminate fear instead of manifesting it. The internet was in its infancy and streaming media was not really main stream. In fact, few people knew of it.

She wanted to follow the template of terrestrial radio and so with her data com background and previous radio experience she went out to find the best software, equipment, streaming media, encoders, and all the myriad technical pieces and parts that make a radio station. She then found out about FCC and copyright rules; audio processing; personnel responsibilities and requirements and everything that made a terrestrial station work.

Realizing that that not ‘just talking on air doth a radio host make’ she understood that talented, seasoned radio hosts were needed to cull the listeners and keep them engaged. So she had to make a plan that included getting great talent, as well as, the listeners.

And she researched and planned and planned and planned…until…

Study Shows Listeners DO Hear Radio Ads

noreply@blogger.com (Linda Mackenzie) — Thu, 22 Dec 2011 15:02:00 +0000

A new study released from Arbitron, Media Monitors and Coleman
Insights dispels the myth that radio stations get a lower radio
audience during commercial breaks than actual program segments.
The study shows more than 93% of the radio audience is retained
during commercial breaks in almost every market, throughout
almost every month and almost every day part in the year.

Some study highlights:

- Programs with a 1-3 minute commercial break delivered almost
the same audience. Longer commercial breaks delivered only
slightly less of an audience.

- 18 to 24 year old radio audiences retained 90% of its audience
during commercial breaks while 65+ audiences retained 98%.

-  Talk stations retained 99% of its audience during commercial
breaks while music stations retained 88%

The study was based on 17,896,325 unique commercial breaks involving 61,902,473
advertising minutes with the average radio station airing 2.6 commercial breaks at the
average of almost nine minutes per hour of advertising. The average commercial time
lasted approximately 3.5 minutes.

This is a bright and positive note for HealthyLife.net Advertisers because
HealthyLife.Net airs shorter commercial breaks than the study average which
according to the study retains the highest audience; it is a talk format
station which according to the study retains 99% of its audience; plus 49%
of HealthyLife.Net listeners are 55+, which again according to the study
retains 98% of its audience during commercial breaks.

Listeners DO hear our Advertiser commercials.

Natural Body-Mind-Spirit Tips for Surgery

noreply@blogger.com (Linda Mackenzie) — Wed, 30 Mar 2011 17:27:00 +0000

by Linda Mackenzie, C.H.T, Ph.D. (c)

Having surgery, whether elective or unexpected, can be a traumatic experience but there are some natural things that you can do on a body, mind and spirit level that may aid your healing process and boost a positive outcome. Remember every body is different and that positive emotions have been proven to boost the immune system – so stay positive! To help your body always select the ways and methods that feel right for you. Also remember herbs are natural medicine and have to be treated with knowledge and respect – so learn about the herbs you are going to take, before you take them.

FOR THE BODY

BEFORE SURGERY:

At least 2 weeks before surgery:

DO NOT TAKE these herbs/supplements which thin the blood:

Garlic, Feverfew, Kava Kava, Gingko Biloba, Essential Fatty Acids and Vitamin E.

DO start a basic “before surgery” vitamin/supplement regimen that includes:

Vitamin/Supplement Name	Activity that aid, help or restore…
Multi vitamin/mineral complex	general body support
Acidolphilus (high potency)	intestinal flora especially when taking antibiotics
CoEnzyme Q10	fight free radicals and oxygenates tissue for healing
Amino Acid Complex that includes L-Cystine, L-Lysine, L-Glutamine	speeds wound healing. breaks down mucus, aids muscles. tissue repair, collagen formation. muscle wasting, tissue damage,
Grape Seed Extract or Pau D’Arco	powerful antioxidant to fight free radicals in the body
Vitamin C (6,000-10,000 mgs. daily) w/ bioflavinoids (like rose hips)	the immune system, tissue repair and wound healing
Vitamin K	blood clotting
Calcium	tissue repair
Magnesium	tissue repair
Zinc	tissue repair
Silica	tissue repair
Vitamin D	tissue repair
Herb Name	Activity that aid, help or restore…
Bromelain or Tumeric	high potency anti-inflammatory
Green Tea	powerful antioxidant to fight free radicals in the body
Red Clover or Burdock Root	cleanses the liver and blood
Echinacea/Goldenseal	the immune system, natural antibiotic. Do not take goldenseal for more than 1 week at a time or if you are pregnant or allergic to rag weed.
Reishi Mushroom or Kelp	adverse effects of x-ray radiation
Milk Thistle	cleanses the liver
Chamomile Tea	insomnia, nervousness

Do enhance healing by adopting an immune system “boosting” diet:

Foods to Avoid: wheat, dairy and milk products, yeast, sugar, processed foods, fermented products, alcohol, smoking, carbonated soda and drinks, caffeine, peanuts, tomatoes, potatoes, mushrooms, eggplant, iceberg lettuce.

Good Foods: rye, corn (non-GMO), oat bran, brown rice, wild rice, goat cheese, eggs, butter, yogurt, fish, lamb, venison, chicken, turkey, duck, olive oil, safflower oil, borage oil, evening primrose oil, sweet potatoes, yams, bananas, kiwi, guava, papaya, pineapple, kiwi, avocados, strawberries, blueberries, beets, artichokes, cabbage, walnuts, cashews, almonds, pecans, vegetables, kale and herbal teas.

Nice To Use: Other Options for the Body

Massage, Acupressure, Reflexology: Relaxation, minimize stress, flush out toxins

AFTER SURGERY:

Keep up your basic “before surgery” vitamin/supplement regimen but add these:

Vitamin/Supplement Name	Activity that aid, help or restore…
Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs)	proper cell growth
Garlic	the immune system as a natural antibiotic
MSM	helps tissue healing and pain
Vitamin E (day after surgery)	tissue repair and circulation. Remember to use real Vitamin E: d-alphatocopherol, not the synthetic dl-alphatocopherol
Vitamin E Oil (after stitches have been removed)	reduce scar tissue and promotes healing. Apply topically several times a day.
Herb Name	Activity that aid, help or restore…
Nettle	intestinal bleeding
Dandelion	blood purification, kidneys
Homeopathic Remedy	Activity that aid, help or restore…
Arnica Montana	reduces swelling and aids healing

FOR THE MIND:

Do remember that YOU are responsible for your body

No one knows your body better than you do. Your doctor is going by generalities butevery body is different so don’t give away your power to anyone. Take the responsibility of yourself. Here are some tips on how you can work WITH your doctor:

- Before having surgery ask your doctor the right questions: Why, How, What, When, Where; what happens if I don’t have surgery; are there other alternatives other than surgery; what are the risks and benefits; what % of these types of surgeries are successful; how long is the recovery period?

- Get at least one or two other medical opinions prior to having surgery.

- Tell your doctor about the medications, herbs and supplements you are taking. Most Western MDs are not familiar with alternative therapies, including herbs, but that does not mean they do not work.

- Consult with your doctor to see if you can have less invasive laparoscopic surgery for your procedure.

- Ask about the risks and effects of anesthesia.

- Ask questions and do not apologize for asking questions. Remember you’re paying the Doctor. He is working with you as a partner, not as a Medical Deity or your boss. Make a list of your questions prior, during and after each meeting with your doctor so you don’t forget them and ask them!

- Be persistent and use caring assertiveness

- Participate as much as you can in your healing process.

Do Deal with Your Emotions

Learning that you are going to have or getting surgery comes with its very own pack of emotions: denial, anger, bargaining, sadness and acceptance. Learning to cope and deal with this in positive ways can help your healing process. You are what you think – so for a positive outcome – THINK POSITIVE! Here are some of the emotions you may have to deal with and some suggestions on how to handle them:

- Denial or “Numbness”: Look to balance your mind and work on looking at the real picture until you work your way into acceptance.

- Anger: acknowledge it, take an appropriate action (e.g., Punch a pillow, go into a room by yourself and scream, walk around the block, draw a picture) then let it go.

- Sadness- Let it out and cry, get support from friends, loved ones or a support group, start and write a your own healing journal, do artwork therapy, write a letter to yourself.

- Worry – is a useless emotion which accomplishes nothing and eats up your time. Time in which you can be doing something positive to help your healing process. When you get a “worry” thought acknowledge that you have it and let it go immediately.

- Change your emotions to positive ones like hope, joy and happiness

- Make your Environment Happy. Bring your favorite personal pictures, paintings, music, flowers and plants, aromatherapy fragrances with you to the hospital or even spruce up your room at home.

- Avoid negative people and situations.

- Make a list of supportive people and groups in your life and use the list!

Nice To Use: Aromatherapy

Aromatherapy Oil	Activity that aid, help or restore…
Rose, Lavender, Neroli, Bergamot, Chamomile,	Anxiety
Frankincense, Sandalwood	Fear & Insecurity
Jasmine, Grapefruit, Neroli, Sage, Ylang, Ylang	Depression
Jasmine	Lack of Confidence

Do Face Your Fears:

Once you get a clear picture from your doctor on what is going to happen to you before, during and after your surgical procedure you will have eliminated some of the fears. If other fears persist as to outcome, possible death, etc. remember a couple of things:

- The only thing to fear is fear itself. You are in God’s hands and will be all right – no matter what. Even if death occurs remember that it is not the end, but a transition. There is life on the other side, so you really never die you pass over to a better place. So reconcile with your fear of death.

- You create your reality with your thoughts. So if you feel, know and trust that the outcome will be positive and that you will heal – YOU WILL.

- Positive Energy resonates to a higher energetic frequency than negative. Positive energy that can make you feel good and help you face your fears can be activated by thought. The higher frequencies correlate with the upper chakras (esoteric electrical energy centers in the body) starting with the heart chakra and up to the crown chakra. To activate these centers -BUZZ. That’s right just buzz like a bee. You will be surprised as to how this works.

- Another helpful hint for fear is to BREATHE. Breathe in through the nose slowly and deeply and then breathe out with the mouth in a rhythmic pattern. This will immediately lower your pulse and heart rate and get you centered. Physically it activates the Vegas nerve which is the major quieting nerve in the body. The Vegas nerve starts at the base of the brain and branches out to the heart, lungs and intestinal track. By just breathing deeply it automatically quiets your body and centers you.

- Remember fear is your friend, not an enemy. Society teaches us that fear should be avoided but you can reprogram your mind to make fear a friend. You can always learn something you fear and once you learn it the fear usually doesn’t come back.

- Remember there are 4 steps to managing fear and turning it into a positive emotion: 1) Acknowledge your fear; 2) Feel how the fear is affecting your body; 3) Think about and determine what the best action is and 4) Do the action. Putting off the action delays releasing the fear.

- Let go of your fear, ego, rigid goals, expectations, negative attitudes and negative feelings and replace them with to Living in the Moment, trust, hope, positive intention and attitudes and positive feelings.

Nice To Use: Bach Flower Remedies

Bach Flower Remedy	Activity that aid, help or restore…
Rock Rose, Aspen, Cherry Plum	Fear
Gentian, Cerato, HornBeam	Uncertainty
Crab Apple, Willow, Elm	Despair
Rescue Remedy	Stress

Do Deal with Stress

To help your healing process here are some helpful hints you can use to deal with stress before, during and after surgery:

- Use the POWER of Positive thought and positive intention

- Meditate

- Practice Relaxation for Rejuvenation

- Use Visualization. You can visualize a time when you were in perfect health and everything was going 100% right in your life. Then anytime you are having a stressful time go back to that place, visualize it and feel the joy and happiness.

- Self Hypnosis

- Use aromatherapy oils or bach flower remedies

- Listen to calming music

- Pamper yourself with a candlelit bath, etc.

- Use color therapy like soothing blues and greens.

- Take a 1 minute stress break. Close your eyes. Tell yourself you are going to be stressed for 1 minute and at the end of 1 minute you will be stress free. It works!

- Look in the mirror and use Positive Self-Talk to describe the outcome as you want it to be.

- Avoid using negative words like I can’t, I won’t, I shouldn’t, I couldn’t. Replace them with I can, I will, etc.

- Live in the Now, not the past or the future

- Don’t try to control things

- Feel, trust and know things will be all right and they will

I believe that anything can be accomplished, for your greatest good, if you have absolute and total faith. So it is important to believe and have faith that things will turn out exactly right for you. There has never been a negative time in your life that hasn’t turned into a positive for you. This is because negative experiences are growth lessons. Once you learn the lesson you never have to go through that experience in the exact same way again. This surgery may be a major change in your life, so welcome change as a friend. Look at this time as an opportunity to grow spiritually in a positive way. Here are some hints:

Are You Sleeping in a Sanctuary?

noreply@blogger.com (HealthyLife.Net Radio Network) — Tue, 25 Jan 2011 22:35:00 +0000

Host of Heart & Home Thursdays, 1pm PT on http://www.healthylife.net

The one room in the house where we typically spend the most time is the bedroom. We sleep or rest on average seven hours a night, usually our pet sleeps just as long as we do in the bedroom with us. This time of rest is essential for the body to regenerate, and to renew itself.

Many studies have shown the importance of a healthy immune system and it's reliance on a good night's sleep. But what if your bedroom is emitting an energy field that has a toxic impact on your body's or your pet's body's energy field?

Will your body or our pet's, find that rest and regeneration it needs to keep you healthy? Most people do not think about the electrical or magnetic fields surrounding them, especially when sleeping.

Here are 8 things you can do to create a safer environment in which to sleep:

o Move your digital clock at least 6 feel from the bed.

o If crating a pet use a plastic crate and pay attention to the outlets that are near where you have placed the crate.

o Ensure your home's electrical system is grounded and in good working order.

o Move electrical appliances such as lamps, radios, TV's and cell phones away from the bed.

o Turn off all wireless devices, digital baby monitors, cordless phones, wireless headsets, and Bluetooth devices.

o Only use an electric blanket or waterbed heater to warm the bed then turn them off.

o Replace metal box springs with non-metal platforms.

o Install an electrical demand switch that turns off the electrical power to outlets around your bed.

IBM Reveals Five Innovations That Will Change Our Lives in the Next Five Years

noreply@blogger.com (HealthyLife.Net Radio Network) — Wed, 29 Dec 2010 15:21:00 +0000

IBM Reveals Five Innovations That Will Change Our Lives in the Next Five Years: "Innovations in computers and data centers are enabling the excessive heat and energy that they give off to do things like heat buildings in the winter and power air conditioning in the summer. Can you imagine if the energy poured into the world's data centers could in turn be recycled for a city's use?
Up to 50 percent of the energy consumed by a modern data center goes toward air cooling. Most of the heat is then wasted because it is just dumped into the atmosphere. With new technologies, such as novel on-chip water-cooling systems developed by IBM, the thermal energy from a cluster of computer processors can be efficiently recycled to provide hot water for an office or houses."

Traffic Rankings–Part of the Picture

noreply@blogger.com (Linda Mackenzie) — Sat, 18 Dec 2010 19:45:00 +0000

by Linda Mackenzie
Some guy called me up to tell me that my website statistics were wrong. So because we are a conscious business I looked at the actual site visit and page view numbers provided to me from my website provider and found that they were completely different and much, much higher. We are not signed up for any Analytics program such as Google Analytics or Quantcast so I wondered - where are these traffic rating sites getting their website numbers for my site?

I researched the site where the guy got my bogus numbers from and then many more traffic ranking sites. This is what I think I found, since most of the traffic ranking sites do not give you where they get their numbers from - by which they use to report my numbers…

Major Search Engine Companies like Google, Yahoo, Bing and others get their data and page rankings from impressions and conversion rates of people looking for or going to your site. (In Humanese this means if they type in your website name to look for your site and/or if they went to your site after they logged in to their site). However the numbers provided are only from the data from that specific search engine company. So my thoughts are:
-- Most important - they are not looking at all the actual traffic to my site
-- After a user finds my site they may not “search” for it again and can go directly to my site.
-- These numbers are not tracked by the search engine company. If they are, without my permission, there may be some privacy issues being violated here.
-- They reflect numbers only from their search engine site, not other search engine sites
-- The traffic they report is weighted pertaining to their specific criteria

The Conclusion: Search Engine Traffic Rankings are only part of the picture. They DO NOT and CAN NOT give you the whole picture of the real traffic of any website, except their own.

Major Web Analytic Companies - When you sign up for Google Analytics, Quantcast or any other web site analytics package they give you code to put on your site so they can track your website statistics. Sometimes you need to place the code on every page you want tracked. They then get their numbers for your website, not your web provider. This is slightly better but it still relies on how they weight their data and on what criteria they use to determine your data.

The Conclusion: Search Engine Traffic Analytics Rankings are only part of the picture. They MAY give you the whole picture of the real traffic of a website if the criteria is set up that way.

Alexa’s Traffic Ranks are based on the traffic data provided by Alexa Toolbar users and data collected from other, diverse sources (certainly that does not include everyone on the web). The Rankings are determined by the number of unique Alexa users who visit a site on a given day and as far as pageviews it is determined by the total number of Alexa user URL requests for a site. Multiple requests for the same URL on the same day by the same user are a single Pageview.

The Conclusion: Alexa DOES NOT and CAN NOT give you the whole picture of the real traffic of any website, except their own.

Independent Traffic Ranking & SEO Sites are either using one or more of the specific search engine statistics (which are only part of the picture) or their own analytics software which you either must sign up for or sometimes pay to use (which again is only as good as the criteria that the analytics software is set up for).

The Conclusion: Most Independent Traffic Ranking Sites DO NOT and CAN NOT give you the whole picture of real traffic on any website, except their own. The Independent Traffic Ranking sites with their own analytic packages may give you the whole picture but is dependent on whether you signed up directly with them and what criteria they use to determine traffic.

THE FINAL CONCLUSION:
So, how can someone get actual traffic of a website? Ask the owner of the site. He or she is the only one that gets the actual statistics from their web provider. Web Providers are the only Source of all real data of any site. If the web provider is reputable and honest they will provide the owner of the site with real stats. Of course we have to remember that the web site providers have their own criteria for determining actual data too.

Do website stats correlate to radio listeners on an internet radio site? As far as my radio listener stats they DO NOT come from website statistics whether it be site visits or page views. These website statistics have to do with who is coming to my site but NOT the actual numbers of listeners. Those numbers come directly from my streaming aggregator and (if provided) from our over 52 distribution channels which syndicate/simulcast HealthyLife.net Radio Network 24/7.

THE TOUGHEST MEAT CAN BE MOST DESIRABLE

noreply@blogger.com (HealthyLife.Net Radio Network) — Wed, 08 Dec 2010 06:18:00 +0000

By Daena Smoller

As a radio field journalist for HealthyLife.net, I have the fantastic opportunity to cover a variety of events. One such recent blogger excursion for me was the 2010 SILVERMAN Triathlon in Southern Nevada.

SILVERMAN is hailed as the most challenging triathlon in the United States. And it’s not even a qualifying competition so no doubt, these triathlon participants are competing in SILVERMAN for the sheer thrill of it and a sense of accomplishment and self-satisfaction.

Needless to say and as I’m sure anyone would expect me to do, I had it in mind that I would write a terrific article about this grueling competition that in full, encompassed a mind-blowing 2.4 mile open water swim in a chilly mountain lake, followed by a 112 mile bike ride through the breath-taking, rugged and totally unforgiving mountain / desert terrain of the 1.5 million acre Lake Mead National Recreation Area (the nation’s first national recreation area, 1964) and an exigent 26.2 mile run.

However, my best intentions of writing a sports-minded article literally exploded into a billion little pieces when I arrived on-site during the day of SILVERMAN registration. Why? Because this was a single woman’s WONDERLAND! Thousands of hard male bodies were everywhere with the majority clad in colorful spandex suitable for long bike rides that truly eliminates any real work for the imagination. Simply put, no “easy-fit” jeans being sported here!

So here’s what I'd really like to share about covering SILVERMAN:

To those women searching out a cool means of meeting men outside of traditional ‘meat’ markets, consider planning your next vacation around a competitive event such as SILVERMAN. But don’t attend just as a spectator, volunteer! Sure! You can volunteer at most competitions like assisting with registration (a perfect opportunity introductory face-to-face time) or volunteer at an AID station (physical contact may actually occur while a biker or runner is reaching out to grab the bottle of water or other sustenance that you’re offering). And don’t forget to take advantage of attending the additional events surrounding the competition, too (great opportunity to show off your social skills).

If you need motivation, check out these photos of the awe-inspiring landscapes and of course, some of the fine competitors of SILVERMAN 2010, HERE.

Being the Change Through Social Media and Internet Radio

noreply@blogger.com (HealthyLife.Net Radio Network) — Wed, 01 Dec 2010 21:26:00 +0000

by James Bean

People using sites such as Facebook, Myspace, Care2, and countless other social networking venues of the web are roughly divided into two categories:"whisperers", and "broadcasters".

Whisperers basically just want to be left alone. They have a small circle of close friends they desire to keep in touch with, and that's it. They aren't necessarily out to add hundreds of Internet "friends" from far away exotic lands such as Outer Mongolia and Tuva.

Social networking broadcasters however, have much in common with those inhabiting the world of internet radio. They are seeking good ratings, a growing audience tuning in, more subscribers, an expanding coverage map, more downloads, hits and page views. They have messages to communicate. Adding new friends from Mongolia or Madagascar is perfectly acceptable! They might seek to "be the change", perhaps are involved with a cause they passionately wish to promote across the globe. Mahatma Gandhi said, "Be the change you want to see in the world."

Though amplified by electronic equipment including the hubs of the worldwide web these days, the concept of creating networks of communication, new ideas, education, and social reformation, is at least as ancient as Mongolian Yurts, Tuvan Throat Singing, Babylonian Ziggurats, the Pyramids of Giza and those of Central America. A couple of decades before the Internet revolution, the late Robert Muller (1923-2010), Former Assistant Secretary General to the United Nations, and Laureate of the UNESCO Prize 1989 for Peace Education, wrote the following visionary poem about the power of networking.

‘Decide to Network. Use every letter you write, Every conversation you have,
Every meeting you attend, To express your fundamental beliefs and dreams.
Affirm to others the vision of the world you want. Network through thought. Network through action. Network through love. Network through the spirit.
You are the center of a network. You are the center of the world. You are a free, immensely powerful source of life and goodness. Affirm it. Spread it. Radiate it. Think day and night about it. And you will see a miracle happen: the Greatness of your own life, In a world of big powers, media, and monopolies, But of six billion individuals Networking is the new freedom, the new democracy, A new form of happiness.’

I continue to be inspired every time I read those words. Muller was also Chancellor Emeritus of the University for Peace (UPEACE or UPAZ) based in Ciudad Colon, Costa Rica, which, once-upon-a-time, was the home of Radio For Peace International, a community radio station broadcasting to the Americas and the world via shortwave radio.

It was great to be able to share my program, Spiritual Awakening, via RFPI for most of the years the station was on the air. Someone told me that Robert Muller tuned in one day and actually heard me read from a booklet called Ambassadors For Peace, featuring a dialogue about world peace between Robert Muller and Sant Darshan Singh, presenting some very positive visions of a Golden Age. Now as I broadcast Spiritual Awakening on HealthyLife.net Radio Network who knows who I am reaching within the millions of people who tune in monthly, sharing my messages.

In conclusion, we not only transmit messages to the world via radio, Twitter, Facebook updates or Blogging but on a subtle level, even our very thoughts are like radio waves escaping into the ethers, and those thoughts have a effect as well.

As Spiritual Master Shivbrat Lal puts it:“The human body is a kin to a radio broadcasting station. It transmits into the ethers subtle and mental waves of what the mind thinks. Mental thought-forces and spiritual currents go out in the atmosphere according to the disposition of one's mental and spiritual make up. The human body system is also a radio receiver.” And from Ralph Waldo Emerson: "A man is what he thinks all day long."

It’s Amazing to realize that the totality of that thought-life during this earth-walk adds up to become our legacy here. Not only akashic records, magnetic tape, or a digital format, indeed, all our thoughts, words, and deeds become a factor, a part of the grand equation of the collective thoughts, words and deeds of the earth, slightly moving humanity in one direction or another, here in what Guru Nanak called "Dharm Khand", (The Realm of Action, Karma, Dharma: Moral or Ethical Activities).

In Decide to Be a Global Citizen, By Robert Muller he says, “A good inhabitant of planet Earth. A member of the great human family. Pray, think, act, feel and love globally, And you will aggrandize yourself to the outer limits of being. Know this planet. Love this planet. Care for this planet. For you come from Mother Earth And you will return to Mother Earth. You are made of her elements. You are the Earth, become conscious of herself. You are her eyes, her ears, her voice, her mind and her heart. Save your Mother Earth from her matricidal children who destroy her, who divide her, who spike her with nuclear arms, who hold their territories to be greater than the globe and their groups, greater than humanity. Unite, global citizens, to save and heal planet Earth and to make our Mother bloom again as the most beautiful planet in the universe.”

Trini Lopez on HRN News at 7 - Nov 23

noreply@blogger.com (HealthyLife.Net Radio Network) — Mon, 22 Nov 2010 18:45:00 +0000

Tune in and listen to legendary great Trini Lopez on Healthylife.net Radio Network's HRN News@7 November 23rd at 7am and 7pm PT and all day after 9am PT on archives for 24 hours.

Trini was a poor boy from the barrio of Dallas, Texas. He remembers barely enough food for the family, the amount always determined by his parents' ability to get whatever work they could.

Trini learned to play the guitar from his father. Then he played for money on the street corners. He eventually went on to form his own group. It was then that the world saw the beginnings of the singing, acting, and very talented Trini Lopez.

When Trini was 18 years old, King Records in Cincinnati, Ohio, heard that Trini had written and recorded a single in Dallas on a little label called Volk Records. The name of the song was The Right to Rock. The single made a little noise in Dallas, enough noise for King Records to be impressed with Trini's voice and style. King Records offered Trini a recording contract and for three years.

The first big break came at the popular night spot called P. J.'s. Here, he was spotted by the world famous record producer, the late Don Costa, who then brought Trini to the attention of his longtime idol, Mr. Frank Sinatra. The great singer recognized a fellow stylist and immediately signed Trini to an exclusive eight-year contract with his own label - Reprise Records. Reprise released his first album, "Trini Lopez at P. J.'s," which became a No. 1 hit album. Out of that album a single, "If I Had a Hammer" became a No. 1 hit in thirty eight countries. "If I Had a Hammer" hammered his name in GOLD with many hit albums and many hit singles ... and in the hearts of millions of fans throughout the world! Following "Hammer" were many hits which he wrote, as well as songs like "I'm Coming Home Cindy", "Michael," "Lemon Tree," Kansas City," "America," and, of course, "La Bamba.

Trini is a firm believer in the saying "It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice," and he does practice what he believes by unselfishly giving of his time and talent to many worthwhile causes such as The March of Dimes, Cancer Research Foundation, Diabetes Foundation, Boy Scouts of America, Variety Clubs International, and many more.

Tune in and enjoy!

NOV 15th HealthyLife.Net Health News Super Segment

A recent study investigated the relationship between vitamin D status and breast cancer. The study included 636 women who had been diagnosed with incident breast cancer and 1,272 matched controls. The results revealed a decreased risk of breast cancer with increased levels of vitamin D. Researchers also found a significant inverse relationship in women under 53 years of age. Premenopausal women with high serum vitamin D levels had a reduced risk of breast cancer, although not significantly. These findings suggest that high vitamin D levels reduce the risk of developing breast cancer especially in younger women, although further studies are necessary to confirm these results.

A study conducted at the University of California-Davis investigated whether the use of commercial vegetable juice was an effective way to increase daily intake of vegetables in adults. Consumption of vegetable juice helped the participants reach the recommended daily intake. The results also revealed that the subjects who were pre-hypertensive at the start of the study showed significant decreases in blood pressure over the course of the study. These findings suggest that drinking one to two cups of vegetable juice per day is an effective way to fill the daily vegetable dietary gap for healthy adults and it may also reduce blood pressure in pre-hypertensive adults.

Researchers decided to investigate the effectiveness of ginger as an additional antiemetic therapy in patients receiving chemotherapy. The scientists of this double-blind study randomly assigned patients with bone cancer to either ginger root powder capsules or placebo capsules. The study published in Pediatrics and Cancer found that ginger root powder was effective in reducing severity of nausea and vomiting in patients receiving chemotherapy.

A study published in the the British Journal of Dermatology has found that lycopene may help prevent UltraViolet Ray skin damage by consumption of lycopene-rich tomatoes.

Parents and caregivers can take steps to reduce the risks of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) during the colder months, when infants are at higher risk. These include avoiding overheating an infant during nap or sleep time; placing the infant on his or her back to sleep; placing infants to sleep on a firm, safety approved mattress; keeping toys, blankets, and other loose objects out of the crib, and never smoking around an infant. In cold weather, parents and caregivers often place extra blankets or clothes on infants, to keep them warm. But over bundling may cause infants to overheat, increasing their risk for SIDS.

Exposure to noise is a fact of life. At high levels, noise can damage hearing, and at lower levels it can disrupt sleep patterns, interfere with communications, and even cause accidents. A new National Academy of Engineering report characterizes the most commonly identified sources of noise, looks at efforts that have been made to reduce noise emissions, and suggests ways to decrease exposure in workplaces, schools, recreational environments, and residences. Development of noise control technology needs immediate attention, said the committee that wrote the report. America should become more competitive in the production of low-noise products, both to improve quality of life and to advance innovation. The committee recommends that the federal government explore potential engineering solutions along with changes in policy to control negative effects of noise in the workplace, in communities, and at home. These include cost-benefit analysis of noise reduction, especially for road traffic noise; improved metrics for noise control; lower limits for noise exposure in industry; “buy quiet” programs; wider use of international standards for noise emissions; airplane noise reduction technology; and noise control in public buildings. Improved cooperation between industry and government agencies, particularly the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, is also called for.

An evergreen shrub, green tea has long been used worldwide as a popular beverage and a respected herbal remedy. The earliest record of green tea drinkers was around 2700 B.C. Studies suggest that green tea may help decrease some infectious diseases, tooth decay and may enhance immunity. Now findings from a recent study suggest that green tea may help aging. The results of the study found a 20 percent reduction in levels of DNA damage which may indicate that regular consumption of green tea aid in protection against damage at a genetic level and slow the aging process.

A higher rate of diabetes seen among adult Americans when compared to peers in England is explained primarily by a larger waist size rather than conventional risk factors such as obesity, according to a new study by researchers from the RAND Corporation, University College London and the Institute for Fiscal Studies in London. Americans carry more fat around their middle sections than the English, and that was the single factor that explained most of the higher rate of diabetes seen in the United States, especially among American women. Waist size may be the missing new risk factor. Analyzing studies about the health and lifestyles of large numbers people from the United States and England, researchers found no association between higher diabetes rates in the United States based upon conventional risk factors such as age, smoking, socio-economic status or body mass index, the commonly used ratio of height and weight that is used to measure obesity and over-weight. The higher waist size of Americans posed more risk compared to their English peers across most body mass index categories. For example, among women with normal weight, 41 percent of American women were categorized as having high waist risk compared to 9 percent of English women.

A recent study reported in the Journal of Alternative Complementary Medicine sought to determine whether certain yoga postures could reduce anxiety levels and improve mood by increasing brain GABA levels. Although GABA levels have been found to be lower in people with anxiety and mood disorders, there have been no previous studies that increased GABA levels can improve anxiety and mood. Researchers found that GABA levels are lower in people suffering with anxiety and mood disorders. The study included thirty-four subjects with who were randomly placed in a yoga group or a 60 minute, 3 times a week walking program. The results revealed that the yoga group reported greater improvements in anxiety and mood when compared with the walking group. They also found that increased thalamic GABA levels ARE associated with improved mood and decreased anxiety, although further research is needed.

Humans have between 20,000 and 25,000 genes and each person has two copies of each gene. One is inherited from the mother and one from the father. These genes are how height, hair color, skin color, and eye color are determined, as well as, natural talents, mental abilities and susceptibility to acquire certain diseases. Now a study reported in Nature Genetics found that gene mutation may affect the risk of breast cancer. Researchers identified five gene mutations that were associated with breast cancer risk in women with BRCA 1 gene mutations. This study could be useful in determining individual breast cancer risk in women with this BRCA 1 gene mutation.

Natural Tips for Breast Cancer

noreply@blogger.com (HealthyLife.Net Radio Network) — Sun, 07 Nov 2010 16:00:00 +0000

by Linda Mackenzie, C.H.T., Ph.D (c)

Breast Cancer is not automatically a death sentence. In fact, the statistical model initially used to predict cancer death rates was found to be incorrect. So, in fact, there are many more cancer survivors than are reported in "the statistics".

The breast contains lymphatic vessels, milk ducts, lobes and fatty tissue. The breast is mainly a round mass of glandular tissue with fifteen to twenty lobes. Each lobe has a duct that leads to an opening in the nipple. The framework of the breast is composed of connective tissue with a ligament layer beneath the breast, which provides firmness.

Most breast lumps are cysts and fibroid masses that are not cancerous. Cancerous tumors and lumps never go away. They are firm and usually pain-free, and can appear in any part of the breast. A biopsy may be needed to determine if a lump is cancerous. Some of the symptoms of breast cancer are: thickening of the breast; lumps; and redness, soreness, or itchiness of the nipple. There are several kinds of breast cancer. They are categorized by the site where the cancer cells originated and the area of the breast in which they are located. These are:
-Paget's disease of the nipple
- Lobular carcinoma (breast lobe cancer)
- Intraductal carcinoma in situ (localized within the ducts)
- Infiltrating ductal carcinoma (invasive milk duct cancer)
- Inflammatory carcinoma (lymphatic/blood vessel cancer)
- Adenoid cystic carcinoma (uncommon)
- Malignant cytosarcoma phylliodes (uncommon)
- Medullary carcinoma (uncommon)
- Tubular carcinoma (uncommon)

Cancer is unrestrained cell growth. Heredity, estrogen and environmental factors seem to be the main cause of breast cancer. Heredity cancers usually develop before the age of fifty. Estrogen promotes cellular growth in the breast. Environmental factors such as pesticides, chemicals, radiation, and silicone implants have been linked to breast cancer. There is an increased risk of breast cancer among women who:
- are childless
- in menopause
- started menstruation before 9 years of age
- have had a child after 40 years of age
- consume large amounts of caffeine, alcohol and sugar
- have diabetes
- use oral contraceptives
- eat high-fat diets
- are obese, especially for women over 50 years of age
- use ERT (estrogen replacement therapy) after long term use of 10 years or more
- frequent exposure to medical x-rays

Breast cancer is most common in women over 40, especially postmenopausal women although you can get breast cancer at any age. Men also get breast cancer although it occurs less frequently.

TRADITIONAL MEDICINE
Traditional medical treatments for breast cancer include: surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, chemotherapy plus bone marrow treatment, hormone therapy, or a combination of these treatments.
Doctors once thought that extensive surgery could control the spread of Cancer, however they now believe that the cancer cells may break away from the primary tumor during surgery and spread through the bloodstream, even in the early stages of the disease. The use of drug treatment after surgery is used to kill these cells.
The key to any therapy is Research! Research! Research! Ask questions and get answers.

NATURAL TREATMENTS
Some of the natural health care treatments include:
- Antineoplaston therapy - Dr. Burzynski uses amino acid derivatives to inhibit the growth of cancer
- Biological and Pharmacologic therapy - use of non toxic medications, plant cell medications and human cell medications
- Shark Cartilage therapy - blocks the creation of new blood vessels which are required for cancer to grow and thus starves the tumor
- Herbal Remedies
- Immune System Treatments/Immunologic Therapies - bolsters the immune system to combat & destroy cancer cells using a whole body program of detoxifying the body by diet, uncontaminated water and vitamins.
- Metabolic Therapy - uses detox, colon cleansing, anti-cancer diets based on whole foods plus vitamins, minerals and enzymes
- Nutritional Supplement Therapies
- Diet Therapies
- Detoxification Therapies
- Ozone and Oxygen Therapies
- Lifestyle Therapies
- Mind-Body Therapies - counseling, bio-feedback, hypnosis, visualization, imagery, yoga, massage therapy, meditation, relaxation techniques

FOODS & DIET

Formaldehyde: The Next Silent Killer?

noreply@blogger.com (HealthyLife.Net Radio Network) — Thu, 21 Oct 2010 17:14:00 +0000

by Faith Ranoli

Formaldehyde is found in most homes in multiple applications from pressed wood products, insulation and chemicals adhering to clothing imported from other countries. The EPA studies indicate a link from formaldehyde to cancer, asthma and allergies - in people and animals.

Formaldehyde is colorless but definitely has a noticeable pungent odor causing eyes and throats to burn and eyes to water. For those who are very sensitive or have chemical sensitivities, nausea and breathing difficulties may be experienced. Chemical sensitive people experience fatigue, skin rash and other allergic reactions.

Rising temperatures, humidity and the air exchange rate can affect indoor air containing formaldehyde. As temps rise formaldehyde is released from glues, adhesives and sealants on interior plywood, particleboard, medium density fiberboard. Some paints containing preservatives, the finish on some papers, building insulation, textiles, environmental tobacco smoke and improperly vented fuel burning appliances will also cause a release of formaldehyde.

It's everywhere trapped in your home or office. For those working from home or animals that are continually in a closed office or home, the risks are greater.

So what can you do about it?

Here are some very simple tips to lower the concentration of formaldehyde in your home or office:

o Ventilate your home, open the windows and doors and air out your home daily.
o Use exterior grade pressed woods, no VOC paints and finishes.
o Inspect your fuel burring appliances for proper venting and operation.
o Use your air conditioner to lower the temps in your home during the summer.
o Install only building materials containing the American National Standards Institute stamp indicating lower or no formaldehyde levels.
o When you buy clothing, wash it before wearing it.
o Remove formaldehyde-containing products if you can and seal those that must remain with a no VOC sealant.

Internet Radio: Listening Loud and Clear

noreply@blogger.com (HealthyLife.Net Radio Network) — Mon, 11 Oct 2010 22:57:00 +0000

How to Transform Web Radio Listening Into A Pleasurable, High Fidelity Experience – Loud and Clear – So You Don't Miss Another Word -

Most people attempt listening to web radio stations streaming online with itsy-bitsy teeny-tiny not-so-nice flat sounding computer speakers, as well as, using lower quality sound cards that come standard with your computer purchase. That can make it difficult to fully enjoy catching your favorite radio programs or any audio over the Net.

Mark Twain said: "Kindness is a language which the deaf can hear, and the blind can read." Time to be merciful and compassionate on your ears, discover what you've been missing, making computer audio into the pleasurable experience it was meant to be! It's time to take internet radio listening to the next level, and it's easier to accomplish than you might think.

If you already have a stereo receiver-amplifier and a computer, you may only need to make a trip to your favorite electronics store to get the correct connecting cables and maybe a simple adapter.

Take a close look at the front and back of your computer to see what it has for audio jacks, also the back of your stereo amp. Most computers at least have a 1/8" stereo jack so you can plug in headphones. A sound card in the back will have a 1/8" jack as well. With an adapter that's easy to find, one can connect a stereo system, CD player, etc. to the computer's audio.

On the back of your computer, plug in the RCA audio connecting cables to the audio "OUT". Connect the other end of those to the audio "IN" on the back of your stereo receiver (or whatever you're using for an audio amplifier powering your speakers).

For only the cost of a few feet of cable and perhaps an adapter, the much larger speakers of your stereo are now pressed into service, being fed audio from your computer.

If you're shopping for a new computer and want to make the best use of it for web audio - and I certainly hope you do - there are some exciting options these days for connoisseurs of sound. Choose, or have custom-built, a computer that gives you more ways to plug in an external amp. What I described above lets you crank up the volume, making it possible for you to enjoy analog audio from the web, but there are also more advanced digital possibilities for the true audiophile.

Sound cards have come a long way in recent years. There are some that provide HD audio, and even 3D. In addition to analog, those sound cards will have a SPDIF coax cable "OUT" jack, and an optical "OUT". That's optical as in fiber optic cable. One can purchase a fairly high end amplifier that has inputs for all three, letting you connect to computers, DVD players or other devices with a standard analog connection, digital coax, or optical. E-mazing! "....Sounds caress my ear". "Let the music be your master.” “Will you heed the master's call..." (Led Zeppelin, lyrics from "Kashmir" and "Houses of the Holy")

Playoffs and Stories

noreply@blogger.com (HealthyLife.Net Radio Network) — Thu, 07 Oct 2010 17:08:00 +0000

by Jay Cruz
Moving into October and a new month, we say goodbye to the long baseball season and hello to the very short and exciting playoff season. Well, it is if you like baseball anyway. The regular season did go down to the last day with 2 playoff births to be decided and The San Francisco Giants beat the underdog San Diego Padres while the Atlanta Braves won their game against the Phillies to clinch the final National League spot over the Padres. One of the things about the very long baseball season is the fact that the playoffs happen so quickly. Check your local listings for times of this weeks match-ups because they always seem to be scheduled at the strangest times.

I remember as a young kid playing “hookey” one time to watch the Oakland A’s against the Detroit Tigers in 1972. I was 7. I was in big trouble when my Mother walked into my room at lunchtime with chicken soup and discovered me with my Oakland hat on and my collection of baseball cards in my hand. Of course today we have the internet with updates and virtual coverage of the games.

With these modern updates and electronic coverage one doesn’t have to play sick to catch a game score if it’s important, but I think we miss the story telling that the play by play announcers bring to the game. It’s handy to get the bottom line, but colorful details make the games come alive. The Los Angeles Dodgers didn’t make the playoffs this year, which means that their quality storyteller Vin Scully is already on vacation.
