This is John Immanuel, from http://diycoloncleansing.com with a rant that could make you stick with me or leave my list and website forever.

I’m really not bothered about your leaving my list and website because I frankly don’t think that I could please everyone.

Ok.

What is it that made me so angry that I felt I should immediately convey this to you and even at the risk of making people leave my list and website?

I just happened to read an article in huffingtonpost.com about how to be make your doctor love you.

Let me put the record straight,ok?

I am NOT anti-doctors neither do I dispense with medical advice because I don’t act as one.

I believe that everyone should live a healthy life and I also believe that it’s ONLY possible if we go back to our roots and not chasing the doctors to love us.

This sentence made me totally go berserk and it’s the very first statement of her article.

Everyone fantasizes about finding the perfect doctor.

Does everyone fantasize so?

Do you fantasize so? I just hope not.

I don’t.

I’d rather not visit a doctor.

I’d rather not hear their prognosis ‘deciding’ how long I am going to live and things like that.

If you’re leading a healthy lifestyle, your chances of ‘seeing’ your doctor woule be minimal and at best nil.

Instead of spending time to create and live a healthy lifestyle, I don’t understand why you need to make yourself loving to your doctor.

Your primary care physician must have the ability to listen to your concerns, show empathy and work with you to understand your symptoms and address the problem.

In these busy days, do you really believe your doctor or any doctor can provide you with this kind of empathy?

I’d leave that to your conclusion.

If you don’t want to spend time with your doctor and you’d rather spend time with your loved ones, here is a step by step plan:

PS: I am not really sure about how to make your doctors love you. But I sure do have a plan to make your family love you.

Bad things come to those who wait…

Has renovating a run down, completely gutted Victorian Mansion has anything to do with you and me?

When I read about what Chris and Merle, an ordinary couple did to an 18th century built Victorian Mansion, I felt like there is something we can do even if the situation is entirely hopeless.

They bought a run down and completely gutted Victorian mansion.It was built in 1887.

Chris and Merle are tho couple who took it upon themselves because they loved victorian mansions and wanted to live in one.

Chris is a professional real estate investor and his wife Merle is a musician.

The house looked like this when they got it:

http://realestate.msn.com/making-rundown-house-livable

and they got it for just $46,000 with 100% financing from the bank with more than a few string attached.

With lot of sweat and love they have renovated the house and it now looks like this.
This story reminded me of several implications to your health.

1. Chris and Merle bought this mansion because they loved it in the first place.

I hope that you too love your health if not for anything than to see your child graduate.

2. They got the mansion for throwaway price.

We got this body for free.

3. It was a 1887 Victorian Mansion.

Ours has a 6000 year history to it.

4. It was totally ruined and was not in a living condition when Chris acquired it.

What about your health today? Are you completely ina gutted condition? Even if you are so, there is still hope.

You CAN still do something to restore your gut.

5. They put in their labor of love to give life to their dream house. Of course, the bank chipped in too.

You too can do something about your health issues by trying my 5 Second Colon Cleansing ebook.

I just saw my son,Rufus and daughter, Eunice aged 9 and 4 respectively munching on their share of popcorn while watching a movie in my PC.

Did I tell you we don’t have the idiot-box in our home?

We got rid of it almost 8 years ago and we never even missed it a day. In fact, I feel sorry for my friends and relatives to see them spend so much of their time idling away before thier TeeVees.

By the way, the movie they were watching was Dalmatians 101 and my little girl, Eunice loved every moment of it.

Especially when Pongo and Perdy takes it upon themselves to find out their lost puppies.

She is so delighted when they locate them and all the more merrier when Pongo decides to help release the remaining 99 puppies.

My son Rufus particularly hates Cruela de Vil and he is enthralled with the car chase scenes where she tries to capture those puppies back.

He showed a hi 5 when her car met with accident,never to set her hands on those poor puppies.

So what….?

When I saw them enjoying the movie, I was very happy. I spent some time together with them watching it.

It’s a blessed time, if you ask me.

I can spend time with my kids because I am healthy and I have fought and won the health related issues like weight, IBS and the never ending gas troubles.

Just like Pongo and Perdy, you too can do something for your kids. For example you can spend quality time with them.

Of course, it’s possible ONLY if you are in good shape.

Remember Cruela de Vil of your life is out to take your puppies away from you.

It’s the ‘system’ or ‘the establishment’ as I’d like to call it. They lull you into poor health with the knd of food you’re advised to eat and the kind of lifestyle you’re forced to live.

And you have a choice…

You can boldly step out and take on the system and come out healthy and ship-shape.

Here is a step by step health blueprint:

All I’m saying is simply this, that all life is interrelated, that somehow we’re caught in an inescapable network of mutuality tied in a single garment of destiny.

Whatever affects one directly affects all indirectly. For some strange reason, I can never be what I ought to be until you are what you ought to be.

—Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

January 17 is Martin Luther King day.

Nation looks back with gratitude the services rendered by Martin Luther to the people who lived with him.

While I have decided to write about him, I was actively searching for a quote from him.

The quote you’re reading above inspired me a lot.

We are interrelated and we are caught in the single garment of destiny.

I just could not agree more.

I believe that it is my call to share health tips and take you towards health and wellness in everything I do.

I think I am trying to do that every weekday by communicating with you.

Of course, I am in business and I make money when I sell my ebook. I don’t recommend anything I do not believe in. That would be too much for my conscience.

It all started the day I visited the funeral of my Uncle who died of colon cancer.

And the irony that day was, my uncle died in his prime and I saw fellow villagers aged 65 and above in good health.

They were all friends of my grandfather and they were hale and healthy.

At that time my health was tanking.

I had weight related problems. I was getting tired and I even suffered from IBS.

Then the miracle happened.

I had the diligence to talk to those aged farmers how they remain hale and healthy when we the city folks, with technology draped all over us are failing in health in such a grand manner.

You too, can enjoy the same miracle I had:

Today is a day dripping with history.

There are several important days being celebrated today.

Interestingly all of them has something to do with your health.

Let’s start with the light hearted one.

Today is Appreciate A Dragon day.

The day was created by a novelist who wanted to create some fun and frolic around her novel based on dragons.

While it was a novel meant for the pre-teens who may be interested in stories like Nornia, this day has significance for you.

What is the dragon which is creating all kinds of nightmare in your life?

Is it the weight issue? Or is it the IBS which is torturing you…? Or is it the frequent tiredness you feel all thru the day?

http://diycoloncleansing.com

Today is also National Religious Freedom day. It commemorates the Virginia General Assembly’s adoption of Thomas’s Jefferson’s landmark Virginia Statute For Religious Freedom on January 16, 1786.

That day gave the freedom for all Americans to practice,profess and follow their religion of choice.

I believe it give you the freedom to choose the life you deserve. You can work on your health and improve it.

You are free to do that and you have the absolute freedom to do that.

http://diycoloncleansing.com

Today is also the International Hot Spicy Food day. People are using hot spices in their food for the past 6000+ years.

Throughout the world every race has their own flavor of hot and spicy food.

What’s life without hot and spicy? I enjoy food that are hot and even now I remember the day I tasted the hot and spicy Thai food.

I was crying and oozing and sneezing while my friend who took me there was smiling and enjoying the whole show. Food was really tasty.

I can enjoy such outings because I work on my health and you know what? My health secret lies is also draped in history.

In fact, it’s centuries old tradition followed by Indian farmers even today and it helps them healthy and fighting fit.

By the way, do you know that Cancer incidence is lowest among Indian farmers….

You too can enjoy the same health by going to:

http://diycoloncleansing.com

And finally today is the day when Superman debuted.

I’ll write about Superman and you some other day. It has so many corollaries to your life that it deserves a day on it’s own.

And you know something…

You don’t have to be a Superman with all super powers to work a miracle in your health.

Do something about it.

http://diycoloncleansing.com

Finally, today is also the National Nothing Day. It was a day proposed by columnist Pullman Coffin who wanted to provide Americans with a day where they can just sit without celebrating,observing and honoring nothing.

I beg to differ.

Your health is something you need to celebrate. And who can stop you if you start on National Nothing Day?

You have a choice and you CAN exercise it.

However, it’s your call….

You And Your Dreams

Couple of years ago,Laura Dekker, a fourteen year old girl had a dream of circumventing the globe on her yacht all alone.

That was a bold dream by any standard. After all, she was just 14 and the ‘establishment’ intervened.

The Dutch court banned her voyage putting several requirements for her to accomplish her dream.

It didn’t deter her. She battled with the ‘establishment’ and won the right to go on her dream voyage.

She is now just 12 days away from completing her dream. She is rather excited and has great plans for her future.

Meningococcal meningitis is the most common form of bacterial meningitis.

It affects children below five years old and the results are horrific.

Amputation of limbs is the norm for these children.

When Olivia Story, a six year old girl was struck down by this deadly disease, she lost both limbs below the knee and an arm.

This meant that only in her dreams could she think about dancing with high heels.

But prosthetic experts decided to make a special pair just for Olivia and they say that this is this first time this was even attempted for a small child like her.

This indeed is a dream come true for her and her parents are more than delighted.

While talking of dreams coming true, who can forget the inimitable Susan Boyle, while being an unemployed charity worker shot to fame singing her ” I Dreamed Of A Dream” from the musical Les Miserables.

She went on to be a global musical sensation from being an absolute nobody.

So, what does it do with you and me?

Well, January 13 is being celebrated all over the world as the Make Your Dream Come True day.

What is your dream?

What are your dreams concerning your kids?

What are your dreams concerning your health?

Today you have the opportunity to make them come true.

It need not be strenuous like going around the world alone in an yacht. Neither does it need to be an epic battle for dancing in high heels just like Olivia.

You can choose your dreams and you can make it come true.

Here is a step by step plan for you to try:

Let me take this opportunity to wish you a very happy and healthy 2012. I hope you have taken some resolutions on your health and may be on financial goals too.

What….?

After a full two weeks into the new year?

Well, there is a reason for it.

Do you know that 95% of the resolutions get broken within the first week itself?

Almost 90%+ people conveniently forget their resolutions by the time we enter the second week.

I am writing this to you so that you don’t end up in that statistics.

If you ask me, it’s not entirely your fault that you mess up with your resolutions.

Our society added burdens that you can not bear and expect you to attain it(knowing fully well that you’ll not be able to attain your goals).

Imagine, Sally, aged 38 and is overweight by 40 pounds. She has two kids and works full-time in a law-firm.

She decides to shed 20 pounds this year.

She makes her resolution and decides on the following plan:

She wants to lose 20 pounds.

She joins a gym and decides to work out at least 3 times a week.

She decides to go slow on snacks and decides to completely cut it off from her life.

Being a mother of 2 kids aged, 10 and 8, with a full time job and all her household chores, do you think it’s feasible for her to go to the gym three times a week?

Well, if you ask me, no.

Here are some resources for you to reach your goals:

1. 8 point plan to stick with your resolutions

This is John Immanuel, from http://diycoloncleansing.com

This morning I read a story about a penny being auctioned for more than $1.38 million

The legend says that the copper coins were released in the very first year, US started minting their own coins.

This coin was minted in the Philadelphia mint plant almost 220 years ago.

James Halperin, from Heritage Auctions, the auction house which ran this auction says this is the highest ever paid amount for copper coins.

And the buyer wishes to remain anonymous.

So what does this auction had to do with you and me?

A ton, I believe.

At least, this coin was valued for so much.

How much do you think the average American value her body?

They abuse it with all manner of junk food and wash themselves with sugarrd water and they satisfy themselves saying that they take ‘decent care’ of their bodies.

I’m sorry to say the amount of junk our children consume is skyrocketing and teenage obesity is more than a problem. It’s becoming an epidemic.

Well, the coin generated so much interest because it was one of the oldest and was not put into circulation.

Our body too has history written all over it.

For instance, the genetic makeup has not changed over the centuries and let me tell you a secret.

Our body craves to be treated the very it was treated during our caveman days.

Those cavemen had to walk/run and hunt to eat and they eat much of their food raw.

Well, I wouldn’t mind you labeling me a raw food enthusiast. But that is the way your body likes food.

Here is a little plan for you. Please get hold of the special report I sent you as a gift for subscribing to my newsletter.

Start using a few of the recipes found there for a couple of days and send me your thoughts on it.

I am usually asked:

What is the best type of cooking you recommend? And what is your most preferred way ?

Well, there are five different ways that you can cook.

One is frying.

If you want to eat healthy food, you can forget this method totally. When you fry, almost all the nutrients are lost. However, you can try non-stick cookware. Deep frying is a strong no, if you want healthy food.

Pressure cooking.

According to research, pressure cooking removes most of the nutrients and if someone wants to preserve the nutrients, it’s better you avoid pressure cooking totally.

Boiling.

Boiling is necessary but only for a short amount of time. When you boil too much, the essential nutrients are lost and you are left with the remnant. Which is not much, usually.

Baking.

Baking is a good form of cooking. However, be careful not to bake so that the food becomes mushy. Baking preserves the nutrients.

Steaming.

Steaming is by far the best form of cooking according to research. You protect almost all of the nutrients and the food is taken at face value.

There is a popular misconception among raw food enthusiasts that all the vegetables should be eaten absolutely raw.

Well, in my opinion, I am able to add taste and variety when I try one of the above forms of cooking.

Using these and the methods outlined in my eBook 5 Second Colon Cleansing ebook, I am able to influence positively in the life of my kids and grand children.

Will you too take up the challenge of providing the best and nothing but the absolute best?

It all started just like any normal Sunday, in our home.

We got up early and fixed breakfast for our kids.

We got ready to attend our church.

Our church planned a rally that evening for the upcoming gospel crusade.

All of us were excited. We were in our best clothes.

Then that news came.

One of our family friend’s sons (7 year old) got one of his fingers cut off while playing with his dad.

Blood was oozing out as they took him running to the hospital.

It was sad to see the middle finger cut right at the top.

He was crying and his mother was also crying.

As soon as I heard about it, we too ran to the hospital.

After all, they are our friends and we needed to be there for them.

Fortunately, the doctor was called immediately and a surgery was done and the prospect of his finger becoming normal is very high.

With the prospect of joining the rally ruled out we spent some time in the hospital with them.

I was waiting in the lobby and may be because it was a Sunday, there was not much crowd.

However, I noticed something in the hospital.

Not all had the luxury of family friends supporting them in their darkest hour.

I could see the pain in the eyes of the patients as well as those who were looking after them.

It revealed several sad stories and all they want is a soul who really cares about them.

I could do that for my friend because I had my health fixed and who knows…

If one of your friends is in that kind of a situation, will you be there for them?

Will you be there in their darkest hour?

Here is how you too can be there for your best friend:
