Published on Leave a comment on Risks In Wearing Tightly Fitting Clothing – Beware Of Fashion Wear – Some Clothes And Shoes Are Perilous To Your Health. See Why.

10 Years Ago I Placed An Article About The Perils Of Fashioned Shoes On My Health Website When They Were Bringing Back Stilettos And Pointy Toes In Addition To The Already Damaging 'Platform Shoes'........They Were Starting To Design All Manner Of Shoes That Wreck Your Feet. Since Then, They Have Brought Corsets Back And All Manner Of Tight Clothing - Some Of Which Are Unbelievably Tight - I Don't Think You Could Breathe In Them!

It Seems They Have Not Stopped With Women, The Guys Are Wearing Pointy Toes Too And Some Tight Fitting Clothes. Well Today, I Found An Article About Men Wearing Tight Fitting Collars And Ties. Professional Researchers Are Expressing Much Concern About This In Relation To Vision And Brain Health, Based On Several Tests They Have Run. We All Need To Be Aware Of These Things In The Interest Of Good Health And To Protect Our Health, So I Thought I Would Cover More Than Ties In This Post. Shall We Go?

Published on Leave a comment on Healing From Neglect As A Child: Find Keys – This Will Make A Difference!

By Janet Vargas - Owner Of This Website

Was there some way you felt unnoticed in your upbringing? Some of us experienced that with Teachers, an Aunty and Uncle, a big Brother or Sister but others have had rough beginnings with their Parents - believe it or not - who took very little notice of them and did not show much affection. This is something I've felt very passionate about since the 80's.

If you were neglected in some way as a child - unnoticed or lacking affection - I really feel for you because I experienced a sudden change at a young age of a different but similar nature, that left me decidedly empty and unfulfilled. Parents, please give each child your best in life. You may not have much else to give them materially speaking but please give them the "Best of You!" Lots of hugs, some undivided interest each day and some laughter in the Home are the Best Gifts and Start in Life you can give them - other things are not so important.

You need to apologise to your kids and change your ways if you don't.…

Published on Leave a comment on An Overlooked Way To Good Health. New Discoveries Made By Psychologists Concerning A 2,000 Year Christian Principle.

Forgiveness: Jesus encouraged this in His Counsel To Us And In The Life He Lived Among Us 33 Years. It Is Probably Taken To Be A Religious Exercise By Most People Who Have Not Experienced It. However, The Grace And Freedom Found In Forgiveness Is Not Limited To Christians. In Fact, I Have Known A Few To Be Unforgiving, Who Do Not Reflect Jesus’ Manner. Psychologists Are Excited With The Newfound  Discovery That Forgiveness Benefits Our Health – Mentally, Emotionally And Even Physically. They Are Recording Good Results, Sometimes Surprising.

These Days, Neuroscientists Tell Us That Unhealthy Attitudes – With Emotions That Accompany Them – Can Make You Sick, Mentally Or Physically. So The Positive Is That Letting Go Of Unforgiveness Can Bring Healing And Sometimes Peace, Letting Go Of Anger Can Restore Your Joy Or Even Relieve Depression, Letting Go Of Resentment Has Been Known To Ease Symptoms Of Arthritis Etc. Why Not Read These Two Articles I Found On The Net Recently? This Principle If Practiced Could Be A Good Asset To Your Health, Your Family And Friendships.

Why Should You Forgive Someone? Though Not A Favourite Topic To Some Of Us,  In The Positive Sense, You May Find Some Real Clues For Better Health Reading This Post.…

Published on Leave a comment on To Salt Or Not To Salt? That Is The Question – Some Facts Will Surprise You!

Janet Vargas - Independent Natural Health Researcher

An interesting question. I remember standing at a Bakery counter about 20 years ago when I bought a quiche as did someone next to me. We asked for a little salt to be sprinkled on them and the reply was, they can't do that, they don't have any salt shaker in the place and they don't use salt. Talk about extremists, they were determining what we could or could not do, based on medical blurb I call paranoia.

At that time, "No Salt" was being promoted - many people joined in the craze and some Cafes weren't placing salt shakers on their tables anymore. Being a Researcher, I commented to the other person that I had worked out about 10 things that can go wrong with our health if we don't have salt in our diet, some weeks before and listed them by memory to her. 5 related to Sodium deficiency and 5 related to Chloride deficiency. Imagine, no salt with egg? Yuck!

I've heard and read the other side of the argument that made some sense to me 1. that certain foods have some naturally occurring Sodium in them but who has those every day?…

Published on Leave a comment on Reasons For Weight Gain: These Are Some Of Them – See What You Find.

Janet Vargas - Independent Natural Health Researcher 30+ Years

Real Foods and Moderate Exercise are the BEST way to Slim and to Maintain GOOD HEALTH. Be aware that Low Fat Diets and Artificial Sweeteners are damaging. So is Strenuous Exercise – they will not help you!

Truth of the matter is, you would be far better following a few IMPORTANT PRINCIPLES, knowing what to AVOID and trying some GOOD NUTRITIOUS Dieting, than all the Fad Diets out there. Especially Chemist and Supermarket brands. Most Slimming Diets are Gimmicky – they are flawed and Cleverly Marketed through the POWER OF PERSUASION. Sometimes there is a Diet that worked for SOME PEOPLE who really gave it their Best Effort and things worked In Their Favour. Those Weight Loss Programs have a Principle of some kind working for them, not everyone responds to and they are very expensive.

The companies are happy to show you Before and After photos and tell you it works for everyone, which is a Lie of-course because different things work for different people and results vary with the individual. No-one’s bio-chemistry is the same but they are happy to tell you “Our Product Will Work For You”…… that my friend is Commercialism (enterprise for your dollar).…

Published on Leave a comment on Medical Profession And Big Pharma: Inseparable Allies – Be Careful!

Janet Vargas - Independent Natural Health Researcher

What people don't realize most times is ever since Big Pharma started to gain ground in the 1850s, their intention always is to gain more ground, and they don't care what lengths they have to go to, to gain ever-increasingly more and more ground - like Coca Cola! They are controlled by an insatiable spirit of greed. They have a strong influence on Governments in Western Countries like the USA and Australia because they bring in more revenue than almost anything else.

The FDA in America has been found to be corrupt in what they allow on the market (so many dangerous Medical Drugs affecting millions across the world daily) and what they don't allow (so many natural cures have had to go underground or completely banned). The TGA in Australia strongly favours the Medical establishment over the Natural Health Profession because of the Revenue factor. In Europe, you find that they practice mostly Natural Medicine over there and some of the Islands, where everything's natural, they experience better health. Sometimes there are certain health conditions we experience, don't even exist in their populations.…

HAS ANYONE OUT THERE NOTICED THAT CERTAIN SITUATION OR RELATIONAL THOUGHTS HAVE A LIFESPAN OF 2-3 DAYS BEFORE THEY WEAR OFF AND GIVE US SOME PEACE? I HAVE SOMETIMES THROUGH THE YEARS. AND WHEN YOU'RE AWARE OF THIS, YOU CAN BIDE YOUR TIME AND RELAX, KNOWING MOST TIMES, IT WILL GO AWAY OF IT'S OWN ACCORD IF WE DON'T INDULGE IN THOSE THOUGHTS AND TIE OURSELVES UP IN KNOTS. IT'S HELPFUL TO KNOW HOW SHORT THE LIFE-SPAN OF THOSE THOUGHTS (like an obsession) WILL BE. ALSO, YOU CAN FIND WAYS OF DEALING WITH BOTHERSOME THOUGHTS (on a certain day) RIGHT HERE.

Ways To Let Go Of Stuck Thoughts

By Therese J. Borchard  from Psychcentral.Com

Stuck thoughts… the brick walls that form a prison around your mind. The harder you try to get rid of them, the more powerful they become.

I’ve been wrestling with stuck thoughts ever since I was in fourth grade. The content or nature of the obsessions have morphed into many different animals over the course of 30-plus years, but their intensity and frequency remains unchanged.

Here are some strategies I use when they make a surprise visit, techniques that help me free myself from their hold.…

Published on Leave a comment on Why Some People Tear Others Down – Need A Few Clues? And What To Do.

I knew someone who has experienced this with someone at her church for some time believe it or not. There are a few gossips and busybodies there too. It is evident to me that none of these offenders have a real relationship with Jesus – to be acquainted with Him is reflected in love for others and appropriate conduct. If someone has unseemly behavior, something is wrong – sometimes you have to ask yourself if they really know Jesus? Maybe not!

The Following Advice "in quotation marks" is from James George (The rest is from me) He is a caring person with some good insights.

"No matter what we do in life, there can be someone at some stage who has something negative to say but some people like to tear others down, not just you – please remember this. Sometimes they find every fault that you have and exploit it to make you feel bad about yourself. They want to demolish someone’s confidence. It’s frustrating to hurt your feelings and it makes you feel like you’re insignificant. So why does this happen? Why do people feel like they have to tear others down and make them feel bad?"…
