1. Natural Tip for Moldy Basements
=====================================

I went downstairs to my finished basement
last week - I hadn't been down there in
a while - and my face started to tingle.

No, it wasn't an emotional or a spiritual
'tingle', it was a sensation that I get
when I'm in the presence of a toxin.

Now, you might think this is an odd
happening, but if you know what it's like
to be energetically and environmentally
sensitive, then you probably understand.

Like many other sensitives, I pick up
"information" in my environment.

You know, it's that "vibrational" thing
(and if you 'don't know' then make sure you
listen in on my show today with Dr. Jim
Oschman author of the Science of Energy
Medicine).

But this time it wasn't only energetic,
it was a physical, environmental sensation
(although the two aren't really separate).

Not only did I know it was a toxin, I knew
what it was - and that it was mold.

Some might not consider mold a toxin but
when it's overgrowing in my environment,
to me it's a toxin.

I had a criticizing moment with myself for not
keeping up with the de-humidifying process
over the past two months, and after that, I
had a conversation in my head that went
something like this. . . .

"how ironic, or rather synchronistic, or
better yet, fortunate, that I just interviewed
Jacque and Dr. Ed Close about natural treatment
for mold and I have my notes handy on their
recommended protocol!" (of which I'm going to
share a brief outline with you here.)

I am always so excited to apply what I learn in
theory, and here I had that opportunity.

After I got the dehumification back on track,
I brought my essential oil diffusers downstairs.
(I really went hog-wild here and brought down three
diffusers - much more than I needed - just one
diffuser would have been sufficient, but I had them
at the house so I used them!)

I diffused the essential oil blend of Thieves
for a little more than 24 hours (if you
don't know how to use a diffuser watch my video
in the link below). The Close's protocol says to
diffuse for 24 to 72 hours.

I was so anxious to clean that I only diffused
for the minimum of 24 hours. I got out my Thieves
cleaner and wiped every and any surface down with
the appropriate mixture of water and the Thieves cleaner.

I then diffused again for 2 straight days.

Now there were a few things I didn't do on the protocol,
like the testing. . . but my own personal test was
sufficient as far as I was concerned!


Here is a quick overview of the protocol:

(but I really suggest that you purchase the
book for more thorough information - see link
for book below)

--Get sampling (Pre-test)
--Diffuse 24 - 72 hours
--Clean
--Diffuse again
--Get a follow up sampling (Post-test)

Please note that I am being extremely brief here and
you can derive much more information from the book
"Nature's Mold Rx: The Non-Toxic Solution to Toxic Mold".

You can also listen to the free replay of my show where I
interview Dr. and Jacque Close who are the experts in
this work http://snipurl.com/gtwm_no_toxic_mold
(this replay will only be available until October 25th)

I've got to tell you that there is great information
in this interview - including what to do for mold in
the body! It's worth listening to!

If you want to read and learn more about this amazing natural,
effective, and safe treatment for mold - check out this link.

You can also buy the book at this link AND.....
it's a good resource for articles and scientific data
(you can also learn why it is dangerous to use bleach or
Clorox for mold:

By the way. . . this treatment made a HUGE
difference in my basement - it passed my
post-test ~ no more tingle :)


==================================
2. Essential Oil Tip: Diffusing
==================================

Diffusing is one of the best ways
to use essential oils, especially
if you want to enhance, treat, or
protect your environment.

When you look at an essential oil
diffuser it can seem very intimidating
because at first it's not clear how
to work it, where to put the oil,
and how it actually works.

Watch this 4 minute and 2 second
video on how to put the Young Living
diffuser together (many diffusers
work on the same concept).

3. Success Tip: Democritus
=============================

Nothing exists except atoms and empty space;
everything else is opinion. ~Democritus

4. Recipe of the Week: Baked Acorn Squash With Cranberries
==========================================================

Here's a perfect side dish full of the flavors of autumn.

1 large acorn squash, split length-wise and seeded
1/3 C chopped pears
1/3 C fresh cranberries
2 T frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed
2 T maple syrup
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. Allspice

Preheat oven to 400° F.

--In a large bowl, combine all ingredients except squash.
--Place squash cut side up on a foil-lined baking sheet.
--Spoon cranberry mixture into squash cavities.
--Use extra liquid to brush cut edges of squash.
--Bake about 30-45 minutes, or until squash is soft.

5. HSL's Joke or Cute Quote of the Week
=========================================

For those of you in a quandary when considering
your health insurance options, you may be
helped with the following Q and A:

Q. What does HMO stand for?
A. This is actually a variation of the phrase, "HEY MOE."
Its roots go back to a concept pioneered by Moe of the Three
Stooges, who discovered that a patient could be made to forget
the pain in his foot if he was poked hard enough in the eye.

Q. I just joined an HMO. How difficult will it be to choose the
doctor I want?
A. Just slightly more difficult than choosing your parents. Your
insurer will provide you with a book listing all the doctors in
the plan. The doctors basically fall into two categories: those
who are no longer accepting new patients, and those who will see
you but are no longer participating in the plan. But don't worry,
the remaining doctor who is still in the plan and accepting new
patients has an office just a half-day's drive away.

Q. Do all diagnostic procedures require pre-certification?
A. No. Only those you need.

Q. Can I get coverage for my preexisting conditions?
A. Certainly, as long as they don't require any treatment.

Q. What happens if I want to try alternative forms of medicine?
A. You'll need to find alternative forms of payment.

Q. My pharmacy plan only covers generic drugs, but I need the
name brand. I tried the generic medication, but it gave me a
stomach ache. What should I do?
A. Poke yourself in the eye.

Q. What if I'm away from home and I get sick?
A. You really shouldn't do that.

Q. I think I need to see a specialist, but my doctor insists he
can handle my problem. Can a general practitioner really perform
a heart transplant right in his/her office?
A. Hard to say, but considering that all you're risking is the
$20 co-payment, there's no harm in giving it a shot.

Q. Will health care be different in the next century?
A. No, but if you call right now, you might get an appointment by
then.
