Santa and Lying, Stem Cells.

Hello again and happy holiday if you’re having one.

The reason for the holiday is the Christian churches’ celebration of Jesus Christ’s birth but that is not what I want to discuss.
It’s lying.
Just like the Christian church took over several pagan holidays and beliefs, it too has been infiltrated by other forces with their own agenda. One of these is Santa Clause.
Originating in the forth century with Saint Nicholas who was well known for giving gifts given to him, to the poor; it took on several incarnations to arrive at the current “Yo Ho Ho’ model we have recently.
The present day Santa is somewhere between 130and 80 years old and still changing.
From a Bishop in what is now Turkey, to a married man at the North Pole with dwarfs and elves running an enormous toy factory, is quite a stretch. When we add flying through the sky with gravity defying reindeer delivering presents to good Christian kiddies the world over; it gets a bit too much.
In Australia he’s often been depicted with smiling kangaroos pulling the sleigh.
Here is an interesting brief history http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santa_Claus

Kids learn early that Santa isn’t real. Older siblings or friends tell them or they find a lot of things in the story hard to believe (not surprisingly). So what is the point?
At the age when they are most vulnerable and we should be teaching them to trust us, we tell them this complete load of rubbish knowing full well that they will find out the truth and realize we lied to them.
It may serve to elicit some good behavior (bribery) prior to Christmas but surely there are other ways to do that.
It may prepare them to realize not to believe everything they are told, which is a good thing. But know that this now includes everything you tell them.
Do you want to be known as a liar?
How much is the Santa fabrication worth?

Santa is worth a fortune to the retailers and they have successfully replaced the original purpose of Christmas with a time of buying and indulging in hedonistic pleasures. Spend, spend, and spend. Eat, drink and be merry.
Christmas won’t go away but its meaning is being replaced by consumerism. If you want to teach your children the values of the Ten Commandments do so all year round. But at least let children know the truth about Santa Clause and what Christmas has become.

Last issue I mentioned “eclampsia”. If you haven’t looked it up; you can here.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eclampsia Around four million women suffer from it. Approximately 63,000 women and 300,000 children die because of it every year. It’s a condition during pregnancy in which women experience convulsions and coma.
The reason I mention it is that it can be treated for almost no cost by a substance found in the supermarket – Epsom salts. Epsom salts is Magnesium sulphate.
This is made into an infusion and simply injected. Problem solved.
But if the drug companies had their way we would be buying a course of pills.
This still leaves the question of why so many die each year. It seems that it is case of simple ignorance.
Most of the deaths occur in developing countries where doctors are heavily influenced by the drug companies. There’s a whole new market for pharmaceuticals. There’s no money in Epsom salts so they forget about it. GPs can not be expected to know everything and it often takes a specialist to recognize a type of problem.
The hope of good health across the world lies in the interaction of doctors via the net. Programs where symptoms are described and diagnosis is given by a specialist are the answer; that is if they aren’t hijacked by the drug companies.
You can bet your boots they will try to do just that.
If you know of other treatments for illnesses or uncomfortable conditions that affect mother or child, share them with us.

*Stem cells have the genetic code needed to grow into almost any organ tissue of the body and even to become a complete organ.

It’s pretty remarkable stuff that is in its infancy as far as research has gone so far but it promises astounding possibilities.

Recently scientists have discovered that menstrual blood is rich in stem cells that can be used to create tissue to repair damaged organs and help fight disease.

These stem cells are so valuable because they come freely from your body and there is no chance of rejection when reintroduced to your body.

They also hold the key to grow into customized tissue for specific applications to aid the prevention or possible cure of conditions like Parkinson’s disease.

But stem cell research has been a contentious issue for a long time and getting appropriate cells has been a difficult task. Umbilical cords, bone marrow, the lining of the uterus, embryos and a host of other sources have been used.

Each of these sources has some problem associated with it. For instance, the inside of the uterus has to be scraped to get the cells.

Objections to stem cell use seem to be centered on the “playing God” argument. The reasoning runs to the extreme of; “If you start making organs then you’ll start making complete humans.”
Let’s assume that is a bad thing but why would anybody want to? We have more people than we are coping with now. Besides that is way beyond the scope of medicine. The idea is to repair hearts, livers, cancer ravaged organs and brain cells.

For your children this is a miracle in the making.

There is one more development.

Over the next few years there will be products on the market enabling you to collect and store your own stem cells for future use.

These are already in testing stage.

Soon you may be able to provide your own insurance against mind and body decay.

*** I've released a report "How to Beat Bad Habits Forever". It is a way that WORKS.
It's only $5.00 and well worth much more. To get it just email iqchildren@gmail.com and I'll send details.
