Deep Truth, Igniting the 

Memory of Our Origin, 

History, Destiny and Fate 

reveals new discoveries that 

change the way we think 

about everything; from our 

personal relationships to 

civilization itself. When the 

facts become clear, our choices 

become obvious. 

If you have curiosity about 

what’s happening on our 

planet right now, along 

with what we’ve learned 

about ancient civilizations to 

date, read Deep Truth! (and 

attend the Wisdom of the 

Origins Conference featuring 

Gregg Braden, Barbara Marx 

Hubbard, Marianne Williamson 

and more: pg. 27 and also see 

Classes, pg 2.) 

Brilliant and insightful…I see 

Gregg Braden as one of our 

great visionaries. 

–Dr. Wayne Dyer, 

author of The Power 

of Intention 

Gregg Braden is a rare blend of 

scientist, visionary and scholar 

with the ability to speak to 

our minds, while touching the 

wisdom of our hearts. 

–Dr. Deepak Chopra, 

author of How To Know God

Everyone understands that we all age. 

However, the individual effects of aging 

vary widely. One person may become 

non-ambulatory and hard of hearing while 

another may be on several prescription medications and 

develop memory problems. Exercise and proper nutrition 

can have a positive impact and delay or powerfully offset 

many effects of aging. 

If you are a typical inactive adult, it’s likely that your aerobic 

capacity ‘ain’t what it used to be!’ You may be challenged to do 

some of the things you did when you were younger. If you 

have lost the ability to move and do things with your body 

the way you used to, you can regain a good portion – perhaps 

all of it (even if you think it’s not possible due to your age). 

The key is engaging in physical activities that increase your 

heart rate. You could start by walking 10 minutes, 2-3x per 

week, and build from there. In no time, you’ll be walking two 

miles every day (within thirty to forty minutes which is ideal 

for improving your aerobic capacity)! TIP: To reap the same 

benefits of walking thirty minutes continuously, you can split 

it up and walk at least 10 minutes, 3 times during the day. 

Another effect of aging is lack of flexibility. The more 

flexible populations tend to be younger, more physically active, 

and female. Have you lost flexibility over time? Get more 

physically active and incorporate flexibility exercises into 

your exercise routines and you’ll go far in retaining youthful 

flexibility (not to mention your body will look younger and be 

healthier, too). 

Muscle strength and muscle mass loss begins to decline (in 

most Americans) as early as age forty. Resistance training can 

reverse these losses. With a regular physical exercise regimen 

of strength training (just 2x/week), you’ll see increased 

muscle strength and mass plus improved immune function 

and increased self-confidence before you know it! 

With age, people also tend to gain weight and experience 

an increase in body fat. Women tend to gain more body fat and 

lose more muscle and bone mass during and post menopause. 

Weight gain and body composition can be improved with 

proper nutrition and regular physical activity (creating a more 

youthful you!). 

Some of the most important exercise goals for older adults 

and the elderly are those to increase range of motion, increase 

strength and improve balance. Obtaining these goals can help 

to reduce the effects of aging, prevent falls, improve quality of 

life and increase self-efficacy. 

To find out how you can reverse the effects of aging, look and 

feel your youngest self, contact New Mexico Fit at 505-550-8322

Lingering 

Pain? 

By Victoria L Magown 

GOT PAIN? LINGERING PAIN? 

Call MyoRehab at 505-872-3100 and schedule an appointment. You can find us at www.myorehab.net 

and we are conveniently located at 4263 Montgomery NE, #200, ABQ, NM 87109. 

During the last two articles, we have been discussing 

the importance of addressing your pain after falling 

off a ladder or from a bicycle; or a car accident— 

even if it is only a little fender bender. We have treated people 

who experienced digestive problems, as well as jaw and teeth 

pain long after the collision and did not realize the cause was 

the car accident. 

George was referred to MyoRehab one and a half years 

after his truck was hit in an intersection and rolled one and a 

half times, leaving him hanging upside down by his seatbelt. 

His previous treatment had included physical therapy, 

chiropractic, massage therapy, acupuncture, Trigger Point 

Injections, pain medication and antidepressants. 

After going to his doctor and telling her he was still in 

severe pain all the time and felt suicidal, she referred him to 

MyoRehab as a last resort. At the time, he had severe back, 

hip, shoulder and neck pain. It took about six treatments 

before he realized the pain had decreased to a more tolerable 

level. 

During a treatment, George refused to let me touch his 

abdominal muscles. “Nobody touches my stomach.” “Why?” 

I asked. “It is too painful and I can no longer eat chili or 

any hot spices.” “Well, no wonder, after the severe impact 

of hanging upside from the seatbelt.” He asked, “You mean 

muscles can cause stomach pain and indigestion?” “Oh yes, 

and, contribute to your ongoing low back pain as well.” 

The Rectus Abdominis muscle can refer pain through 

to the mid and low back, as well as cause stomach pain and 

indigestion. It is important to treat this muscle whenever a 

person has had a car accident since the seatbelt impact can 

cause acid reflex, indigestion and hiatal hernia pain. After 

one treatment of the abdominal muscles and fascia, George 

was able to eat his beloved hot, spicy foods again. 

But he still had head and neck pain. As I began treating 

the jaw and face muscles, the pain referred to his teeth. He 

explained to me that he had fractured two teeth in the last 

ten months and had to have them extracted. Even though 

George had no jaw pain, mechanically, the mandible (jaw) 

was in a dysfunctional position, misaligned, and his “bite 

was off ”. This can contribute to head and neck pain and as in 

his case, fractured teeth, also. 

During a whiplash, the mandible (jaw) is free to whip 

independently of the head and neck. It is not uncommon 

for people to experience teeth and jaw issues long after a car 

accident. 

Temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMJD) is more 

prevalent in woman than men. Want to know why? Here’s 

a little unknown secret about jaw pain and TMJD. The day 

after a car accident, the man gets up, showers and SHAVES, 

thus doing face and jaw stretches every day. The only two 

men I have treated for TMJD had full beards and did not 

shave. 

Since George was experiencing depression with his 

ongoing pain, he did not shave every day after the first 

couple of months and therefore developed a mandible (jaw) 

misalignment. 

While treating George, we gave him gentle stretches 

to do at home to maintain the release we gained during 

treatment. We had a few set-backs since George initially 

did not understand how important his role was in doing the 

stretches on a regular basis. After the muscles have been in 

a shortened state for so long, they need to be retrained, to 

return to their full normal length. 

We also addressed posture while driving, sitting, sleeping 

and working. It is important to keep one’s body in a neutral 

position as much as possible. When we sit leaning to one 

side on an elbow, it shortens the low back muscles and 

fascia. Then we experience ongoing low back pain. This was 

an important lesson for George to learn, as it made all the 

difference in relieving his low back pain completely. 

One of the natural consequences of muscles and fascia 

shortening is that we tend to “give in” to accommodate the 

shortening by standing, sitting, working and sleeping in the 

“comfortable shortened position”. It feels good for a while, 

and then the pain starts up again. 

You will be glad to know that George became completely 

pain-free and did not need to take pain medication anymore. 

Whenever he caught himself sitting in a dysfunctional 

position, he would straighten up immediately. And he 

continued his Home Exercise Program on a regular basis, 

which is the way to remain pain-free.

The Bottom Line 

By Sandi Ganshaw, RDH, BS 

This issue is dedicated to writing about a 

topic that’s proven to be primary in most 

prospective new clients’ minds…the 

bottom line. When someone calls for the first time, 

I hear a wide variety of questions; and the one question that is 

asked by all is “How much will it cost?” 

Let’s look at the marketplace: one billboard states “$59 

cleaning, exam and x-rays”, another: “$34 exam and cleaning” 

and still another: “$19 new patient exam”. While these 

are (without a doubt) great prices, the prudent, educated 

consumer wants more details in order to make an informed 

decision. When called these providers, I was told “these prices 

only apply to new patients. Any subsequent visits require the 

full price payment for services.” If dentistry was a “single visit” 

experience, then of course, what a value these offers would be! 

However, how often does this happen? Considering we are 

encouraged to have our teeth cleaned twice a year (and have a 

full dental exam annually), the math just doesn’t add up. It’s the 

old marketing ploy of “get them in the door and keep the cash 

register ringing!” 

When I took over Betsy Ferrell’s Smiles for Miles practice, 

I retained the fee schedule that Betsy had for years. An adult 

cleaning is still $85 (in the absence of periodontal disease), 

child cleanings are $45 (and this includes x rays and exam with 

a collaborating dentist, in my office). Granted, we are a small 

neighborhood clinic and don’t have all the bells and whistles 

of the providers with the screaming deals, but one has to 

wonder who is paying for all that. We are a patient-centered, 

quality driven practice. We take our time and give you the 

individual attention you deserve—providing you with a gentle 

and thorough cleaning every time. 

Call us for an appointment in our new office at the Rio Grande 

Plaza. And remember…a beautiful smile is always in style!!!

How to Create a 

Joyful Life 

By Lara LaVonne Jordan, RScP 

For most people, the joy of living seems to 

wane as we get older. Joy seems confined 

to the very young, to people falling in love, 

and possibly to retirees. But why can’t we have 

joy regardless of age, the burdens of responsibility or the “bad 

things” that have happened to us? Why not joy at least 50% of 

the time? Why not 90 or 95%? 

A great part of joy is freedom. Yes, we would like to 

have freedom from the things we don’t want, like ill health, 

problematic relationships and money difficulties. But real 

freedom comes from getting rid of the anchors in our lives. 

Anchors hold us down to one place in the ocean of life. For 

our boat, there’s no forward or purposeful movement. 

What are the anchors that hold us back and make us 

susceptible to all the things we don’t want in our lives? 

Resentments, anger, and criticism. If we long for a joyous life, 

then we must let go of the negative energies that have taken 

up residence in our consciousness and in our bodies. They 

re-configure the way we see life and the world. They sabotage 

our health, relationships and fiscal well-being. 

We must forgive everyone. That’s not to say that any 

particular person “deserves” forgiveness or that we are making 

bad behavior okay. We forgive to release the anchors in our 

lives. We forgive to heal ourselves. Louise Hay, the author 

of You Can Heal Your Life, provides the best affirmation I’ve 

ever heard: “I forgive you for not being the way I wanted you 

to be. I forgive you and I set you free.” Try picturing a person 

you resent and say this over and over until you no longer 

feel a “charge” around that person. This is the beginning of 

freedom. This is the beginning of joy.

Understanding the Environmental 

Influences of Neurotoxins on Your 

Brain: Heavy Metals 

By Pamela Costello, MD, PhD, Holistic Neurological Physician 

You will observe with Concern how long a useful Truth may be 

known, and exist, before it is generally receiv’d and practis’d on. 

Benjamin Franklin, 1786 

While there is a general awareness by the public of our 

increasingly toxic environment adversely influencing our health, 

the specific relationship of these toxins to our nervous systems 

warrants further discussion and investigation. The above quote 

is an excerpt from a letter by one of our forefathers, Benjamin 

Franklin, written to his apprentice, in which he alludes to his 

early discovery as a printer’s apprentice of the toxic influences of 

directly handling lead on his and his coworkers’ nervous systems. 

He describes developing great pain in his hands when handling the 

warmed lead printing agents, as well as cautioning as to the older 

guild workers developing ‘feeble hands’ from their more chronic 

lead exposure. 

After the recent loss of a beloved patient of mine from ALS 

(who had toxic levels of uranium, aluminum, and other industrial 

toxins), I found myself both heartbroken and angry as to the unconscionable 

lack of focus by both those in the industry that allowed 

this to happen, as well as by the medical profession, on the role of 

environmental toxins damaging the adult and developing nervous 

systems. I have consequently made it a practice focus to provide my 

patients with a better awareness of the relevant casual relationships 

of environmental toxic influences on our nervous systems, including 

routes of exposure, mechanisms of interaction, tools of assessing 

one’s neurotoxin burden, and mechanisms of remediation. 

Environmental neurotoxins include heavy metals (mercury, 

lead, aluminum, arsenic, manganese, copper, cadmium, etc.) as 

well as industrial solvents, hydrocarbons, insecticides, herbicides, 

fertilizers, fluorides, PCB’s, ionizing radiations, and dietary factors, 

including ethyl alcohol. 

It is well recognized that most disease states are multi-causal 

in their origins, including genetics, nutrition, perinatal trauma, 

environmental factors, etc. Not as well accepted is the fact that 

heavy metal neurotoxic exposures have been directly and indirectly 

linked to such developmental neurological diseases as the Autism 

Spectrum, behavioral and mood disorders, learning disabilities, 

mental retardation and Cerebral Palsy, seizure disorders, Spina 

Bifida, and other mal-developmental neurologic conditions. 

In the adult nervous system, we see heavy metal neurotoxic 

influences manifesting as brain fog, or the inability to focus, 

attentional, and memory dysfunction, ALS, MS, balance 

dysfunction, pain syndromes, mood disorders, visual and hearing 

loss, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s Dementias. 

A. Mechanisms of Neurotoxicity: most environmental toxins 

such as heavy metals have a positively charged lipophilic (fat 

loving) component that is attracted to the negatively charged 

linings and insulating myelin of the brain, spine, and nerves. 

The result of this interaction is abnormal brain development in 

the fetal and juvenile brain, and increased cell death in the adult 

nervous system. This affinity of heavy metal toxins also applies 

to other fat bearing organs and tissues of the body, including 

the thyroid, kidneys, liver, pituitary, and bone marrow, creating 

similar imbalances and dysregulation. 

B. Routes of exposure: inhalation of airborne heavy metals, 

transdermal absorption, ingestion (mercury leakage from 

dental amalgams, food or water-bearing toxins), nasal neural 

uptake, transmission from mother to fetus (across the placenta) 

and to child (breast milk). 

C. Tools for assessing toxic burden: assessing environmental 

exposures is done through history taking, provoked heavy 

metal laboratory testing, serologic testing, anatomical and 

functional imaging, and physical examination. 

D. Mechanisms of neurotoxin remediation: clearing toxins 

(chelation), avoidance behaviors (filtering water, air), utilizing 

organic food sources, and transdermal detoxification. 

Although disease and wellness reflect a multi-causal nature, 

the environment represents an increasing source of potentially 

reversible factors. In 2008, Neurology journal reported the 

incidence of ALS in New Zealand to have steadily increased by 

3% per year from 1985-2006. The increasing incidence of autism 

is even more dramatic. It is incumbent upon us to deeply explore 

these issues further for possible intervention for patients suffering 

from these illnesses.

Sheri knew right away where my pain was. She also knew the 

condition of my internal organs, and how they were functioning. 

Her hands are very warm and I could feel a strong energy emanating 

from them. I’ve been a massage therapist, yoga instructor, Reiki 

practitioner and student of herbal medicine for almost 20 years. 

During this time, I have had treatments from many amazing healers. 

Sheri is definitely the best energy healer I’ve ever experienced. Her 

intuition and ability to channel healing energy come from a deep 

stillness within. 

April, 2012 – J.M., ABQ 

In August of 2006, I had an 

ultrasound test which showed 5 

uterine fibroids were the cause 

of the excessive bleeding I was 

having 15-17 days of each 

month. This had been going 

on for over a year and a half. I 

received a birthday gift to attend 

one of Sherry’s workshops while 

in Frankfurt Germany. Full of 

skepticism, I decided to attend. 

By the 2nd day of the workshop, 

Sherry with John of God 

Sherry recognized that I had been struggling to be quiet within 

myself and be present to what was being offered. She approached 

me and I felt the heat of her hand, sending sensations throughout 

my body starting with my head. That night, I slept well and the 

next day, there was no bleeding. Soon I returned to the US and 

visited my OBGYN. The follow up ultrasound showed that all 5 

fibroids had dissolved. There has been no re-occurrence to this 

date. 

F.J.B, ABQ 

In November of 2011, I had an individual session with Sherry, 

just before I got on a plane to visit my mother who was in the 

hospital. In the short 20 minutes I was in the session, Sherry 

provided information on how to handle the time with my mother 

(with whom I have been estranged in this life for 16 years at one 

point) that was amazingly accurate and proved extraordinarily 

helpful. She had no information about me or the relationship I 

have had with my mother; but the advice she offered was spot on. 

It was exactly what I needed to hear and made all the difference 

in my trip!

October...Think Green for Money 

NOT Just Pink for Breast Cancer 

By Dr. Carla Garcia, DOM 

At this time of year we are inundated with information about breast cancer and purchasing products with pink ribbons on 

them. Thermography is essentially a “green” type of service. There is no damage to the environment and no risk to the person 

having thermography. It does not use “ionizing radiation”. There is no painful compression of breast tissue and it is safe for 

women of all ages; including younger women with dense breast tissue, small breasts or women with breast implants. So... 

instead of offering something pink, the Thermography Center is offering to give you some green. Every time you refer someone 

for thermography, you and the person you refer will receive a $15 credit. This is our way of thanking you for helping spread the 

word about thermography. There is no limit to the amount of credit you can accumulate. And you may use your referral credits 

for any service(s) offered by Dr. Garcia. 

I 

recently received a call from a mammogram company 

offering to pay me to get a mammogram. They offered a 

$25.00 gift card to WalMart to schedule an appointment to 

have my breasts compressed and radiated. It was tempting for a 

moment because my insurance would pay for the mammogram 

plus I’d have $25 extra dollars to spend. Why shouldn’t I earn 

$25.00 by having a mammogram? A quick internet search 

for the negative effects of mammograms brought up several 

articles about mammograms including some written by Dr. 

Joseph Mercola. 

Dr. Mercola has 

written numerous 

articles about the 

negative effects of 

mammograms and a 

safe breast screening 

technology — thermography. 

Mercola 

has been called “the 

most successful 

alternative medical 

practitioner in the world”. Health 

website rankings list www.mercola.com as the 

world’s most visited natural health site. Articles on his 

website, such as “Why Mammography is NOT an Effective 

Breast Cancer Screen” and “I Will Not be Pinkwashed” have 

captured the attention of several agencies. (“Pinkwashing” 

is the promotion of a pink ribbon product while selling or 

promoting products that are linked to breast cancer.) The FDA 

warned Dr. Mercola to stop making claims for thermographic 

breast imaging and threatened him with seizure, injunction 

and money penalties. 

The FDA warning included cautions against using 

thermography as a method for diagnosing cancer. Mercola 

has not claimed that thermograms detect cancer; he has said it 

detects inflammation which can precede cancer. Thermograms 

and mammograms can NOT diagnose cancer. They are 

screening methods that alert the practitioner to areas that 

require further evaluation and diagnosis; including a physical 

exam and biopsy. Cancer cannot be diagnosed without 

a biopsy. Mercola offers thermographic screenings at Dr. 

Mercola’s Natural Health Center in Illinois. Mercola’s center 

uses the same equipment and thermography interpretation 

services that are offered at the Thermography Center in 

Albuquerque. There are several thermographic cameras 

out there but the camera used in our centers is the only one 

that has been classified by the FDA as a “Class 1 Medical 

Device”. Our thermography images are interpreted by M.D.s 

while some other thermography practices will do their own 

interpretations or rely on other types of practitioners to 

interpret the thermal images. 

Thermography measures the heat radiated from the body 

and creates colored images that can reveal areas of extra heat 

that may be indicative of inflammation, lymph congestion, 

and/ or estrogen dominance. All of these symptoms can 

evolve into more serious health issues if they are not 

addressed. Some keys to maintaining healthy breasts are: 

annual screening, adequate vitamin D levels, lymph drainage, 

exercise, breast massage, and a healthy diet. Monthly selfbreast 

exams are essential to finding changes in breast tissue 

that may require further evaluation. Click on the link to view 

a video by Dr. Mercola about vitamin D and thermography.

Spin Doctor 

By Dr. Stephen P. Weiss, MD, Integrative Medicine and Classical Homeopathy 

gentleman 

staggered into my 

Anelderly 

office one day looking 

drunk and disheveled. “Doc, I have 

the woozy,” he blurted out. At first 

I was perplexed, racking my brain 

to try to recall what disease he was 

referring to. Then it dawned on me 

that he meant that he was feeling 

“woozy.” This realization, however, 

didn’t get me much closer to 

understanding the symptom he was 

complaining of. One man’s “woozy” is another’s “faint,” is 

another’s “vertigo.” 

The practice of medicine is very much like detective work. 

The patient gives you several leads, but instead of magnifying 

glasses and fingerprint detection kits, we use the full array 

of Western medicine blood tests, scans, our 5 senses, the allimportant 

6th sense as well as numerous studies unique to 

Complementary and Alternative Medicine to come up with 

a diagnosis. Great care must be taken to understand exactly 

what a patient means, or you can quickly be headed towards 

Timbuktu. Not even the great Sherlock Holmes could spend 

a mere 5 or 10 minutes, the amount of time the average 

conventional doctor spends with you, to solve his difficult 

cases, which is why I spend at least one hour with a new 

patient and half an hour during follow-ups. Most people 

don’t realize that 90% of the diagnosis comes from the 

patient’s history. I am constantly amazed, particularly when 

I am stumped by a patient’s story, how often the patient will 

say something which sets off a light bulb in my mind that 

helps me solve the riddle of their complaints. 

“Dizziness” is the chief presenting symptom in roughly 

3% of all primary care visits in patients 25 and older. The 

first task of the physician is to understand clearly what the 

patient’s subjective sensation is. Vertigo is defined as a false 

sense of movement. Presyncope (faintness), disequilibrium 

(impairment in balance) and lightheadedness must be 

clearly differentiated. 

Vertigo is an extremely distressing symptom. It lands 

people in bed and shatters their sense of groundedness 

and security. Most, if not all of us, have experienced brief 

moments of it in childhood after spinning around and 

around on the playground and then stopping. Vertigo 

can be due to minor conditions such as benign positional 

vertigo, or life-threatening ones 

such as strokes in the vertebral and 

basilar arteries feeding blood to the 

back of the brain. Meniere’s Disease 

is a debilitating condition and 

one of the most common types of 

chronic, recurrent vertigo, affecting 

2 out of 1000 people (0.2%). It is 

characterized by a triad of symptoms: 

vertigo, tinnitus (ringing in the ears) 

and hearing loss. The exact cause is 

unknown, but it has been associated 

with “endolymphatic hydrops,” fancy medical speak for 

increased pressure of the fluid within the inner ear. 

Daniel, a 62 year old Albuquerque attorney, is the first 

patient I ever treated with this condition. His story could 

probably feature in Ripley’s Believe It or Not. In the early 

1990s he developed vertigo and nausea which landed him 

flat on his back for days at a time. By the year 2000 Daniel’s 

Meniere’s progressed and was accompanied by bouts of 

uncontrollable vomiting. He paid me a visit in 2007 after 

hernia surgery triggered an entire month of severe symptoms. 

I treated him with Cocculus, one of homeopathy’s premier 

vertigo remedies, because it matched some of the more 

unique aspects of his case, including symptom aggravation 

from coffee, motion and loss of sleep, as well as the presence 

of ear pain during his attacks. Daniel’s symptoms got worse 

for 36 hours after holding the bottle of medicine in his hand, 

without ever ingesting it (“homeopathic aggravation”), 

and then vanished. He has now been virtually free of the 

wretched disease in the last five years. Minor symptoms 

occur very infrequently, and completely resolve within 1 

minute of handling Cocculus! 

In December, 2010, Michelle, a very pleasant 49 year 

old professional woman, consulted me at the urging of 

her husband, also a patient of mine, whose life has been 

positively impacted by homeopathy. She had been suffering 

from Meniere’s for a total of 13 years, and it was gradually 

worsening during the prior 2 years, with the onset of 

perimenopause. The first attack blindsided her in an airplane 

while she was flying to California to get her PhD. Now they 

were occurring on average once to twice a month and lasting 

up to 4- 5 days. Michelle also experienced nausea and visual 

disturbances, sensitivity to light and sound, brain fog and 

difficulty concentrating during an attack, and would spend 

days lying on the couch “completely incapacitated.” It took 


several years for her to get a proper diagnosis, before which 

she was told she probably had MS. Michelle consulted the 

only ENT in a several hundred mile radius who specialized 

in her condition, and he recommended inner ear surgery, 

since the medication she had 

been prescribed only gave her 

partial relief. She came to me for 

a second opinion and to see if her 

condition could be cured with 

homeopathy. 

One of the most difficult 

aspects about Michelle’s condition, and what ultimately 

led me to her homeopathic remedy, was the utter 

unpredictability of the attacks. “I feel sucked up into a 

whirlwind of energy, completely out of control. I can’t plan 

for it, prepare for it, anticipate it,” Michelle reported. “My 

husband wants to travel, but I’m terrified because flying will 

provoke an attack.” After spending a couple of hours with 

her, I discovered Michelle was a deeply spiritual person and 

an old soul. Her light shines brightly, never more than when 

she shared these words of wisdom with me: “Hardly anyone 

knows that I have Meniere’s because I’m not identified with 

being sick.” I prescribed homeopathic Asafoetida 30C. 

Five weeks later, Michelle was grinning broadly when I 

entered the room. “I feel SO much better,” she exclaimed. 

“Seven days after I took the remedy, all of my symptoms 

started to come on, but they were different, like my system 

was in a dance with them. A week later they came back, but 

milder than usual. I feel stronger in myself. I asked myself 

what I was going to do—keep hiding or go out in the world? 

The hiding, the veiling is breaking up. Normally things put 

me out of commission—I have a lot more resilience. Energy 

has improved. I’m doing a lot more and getting it done. Not 

a single full blown vertigo attack since the remedy!” 

I haven’t seen Michelle in over a year. She recently sent 

me the following letter: 

Dear Dr. Weiss, 

20 months ago when I first came to you I was incapacitated 

for days at a time unable to walk, drive or engage in 

simple daily activities. I could barely function even at a 

minimal level. I was shuttled from specialist to specialist 

and in and out of emergency rooms on a continual basis. 

The remedy you gave me was immediately effective. For 

nearly two years I have been free of chronic episodes of 

Meniere’s Disease. Any minor symptoms that still crop 

up rarely are immediately controlled by the remedy you 

prescribed. My husband and I flew to India last winter and 

had a dream vacation. I am eternally grateful to you for 

your exceptional and unique ability to integrate Western 

medical skills with homeopathy. I rejoice in my return to a 

happy and healthy life! 

Chronic disease can be likened to a broken record, 

I am eternally grateful to you for your 

exceptional and unique ability to integrate 

Western medical skills with homeopathy. 

I rejoice in my return to a happy and 

healthful life! 

playing a discordant song over and over again. The 

bodymindspirit has lost its innate intelligence and capacity 

to self-heal. Homeopathic remedies are packets or quanta of 

energetically encoded information which reboot the system 

and help to get it unstuck. Patients 

who experience profound healing 

will often tell me during follow 

up visits that the homeopathic 

remedy I gave them changed 

the chronic symptom(s) they 

had been experiencing for years. 

Either they felt the symptom about to come on but it never 

did, or it was milder and in some way modified compared to 

before the remedy. 

You don’t have to wait until your health is spinning out 

of control to get help with your medical problems, but it is a 

true blessing to know that if it does there is a safe, gentle and 

extremely powerful form of medicine which can alleviate 

the deepest of sufferings. 

Dr. Stephen Weiss has been successfully treating patients of 

all ages in his Holistic Integrative Medical Practice since 1993. 

Patients deeply appreciate his genuine, heartfelt compassion 

and ability to seamlessly combine cutting-edge high tech 

medicine with numerous effective and safe alternative healing 

modalities. Please visit his new and improved website to learn

A Body You’ll Love 

By Dr. Mark L. Schwartz, Chiropractor 

the time for you to shed those unwanted pounds? 

Are you unhappy enough with your appearance to try 

Isthis 

something different? Perhaps you are someone whose 

tried every fad diet but still hasn’t lost the weight you wanted. 

Or worse—perhaps you did lose weight only to have it come 

back with a vengeance. 

The truth is; you might have a specific health issue that is 

standing between you and your ideal body. Traditional diet 

plans take a one-size-fits-all approach and never uncover 

why your weight got to where it is in the first place. In most 

cases, overeating, cravings, lack of energy and weight gain are 

caused by imbalances in your system. For some, the problem is 

hormonal (did you know that there are 6 different fat burning 

hormones that are either working for or against you?); for 

others it’s a sluggish metabolism and for still others, it may be 

condition like candida. 

Our goal is to find out just what’s keeping your body from 

burning fat and then balance your body naturally. As your body 

returns to the shape and size you desire, you also get healthy 

and regain your energy so you can keep the weight off. 

If you would like to not only reduce your weight, but also 

rid yourself of food allergies, increase energy and vitality, lower 

cholesterol, improve digestion, improve physical appearance, 

have clearer thinking, eliminate headaches and have clearer 

skin, this program may be exactly what you need to make it 

happen! 

The Club Reduce Program Features Self Mastery 

Technology: By using the latest scientific discoveries in brain 

state management, Self Mastery Technology can help you 

develop a healthier lifestyle and enjoy a better quality of life… 

quickly and easily! 

Health Assessment: We start with an assessment to 

determine exactly what is keeping you from losing weight. It 

works by uncovering any underlying imbalances you may have. 

The program analyzes the data and gives instant feedback on 

what you need to add or change to get your body to burn fat. 

Treatment Plan: The doctor will use the data to recommend 

a treatment plan that’s customized just for you.

#1 Solution for Pain & 

Inflammation 

By Sunil Pai, MD and Maureen Sutton, LMT #5221 

From allergy to asthma, colitis to cancer, all diseases are 

worsened by inflammation. At Sanjevani, we are experts 

at figuring out what is causing your inflammation and 

how to stop that inflammation at is source — naturally. One of 

the easiest ways is with Bosmeric-SR. Come in to Sanjevani 

today and try it for yourself. You deserve it! 

Bosmeric-SR is the most potent, pure 

and clinically proven natural product for 

inflammation support available worldwide. 

Our patented formula now provides more 

full spectrum anti-inflammatory activity with an 

immediate onset of action and sustained-release 

that lasts over 8 hours. 

Bosmeric-SR is wild-crafted, non-GMO, nonirradiated, 

kosher, wheat/gluten free and vegetarian/ 

vegan. With over 5,000 studies and 25 clinical studies from 

the most prestigious universities and research centers using 

these patented ingredients and our recent clinical study on 

Osteoarthritis of the Knees (see our website for the studies), 

Bosmeric-SR is safer and more effective than any natural 

anti-inflammatory product. 

Unlike NSAIDs such as ibuprofen (Advil®, Motrin®) and 

naproxen (Aleve®) that carry a Black Box Warning for heart 

attack, stroke and GI bleeding and even acetaminophen 

(Tylenol®) that can cause liver failure, Bosmeric-SR has no 

side effects. I am proud to be the first M.D. in New Mexico 

to be on the front cover of the national healthcare magazine 

Holistic Primary Care to discuss the dangers of NSAIDs and 

the benefits of Bosmeric-SR. Visit Sanjevani’s website home 

page under Studies and Articles to read the article entitled 

Holistic Primary Care: Interview With Dr. Pai — Healing The 

NSAID Nation. 

I have a degenerative disc and arthritis in my neck. I lead a 

pretty active lifestyle but the pain and stiffness limits me from 

time to time. A few months ago, I heard about Bosmeric-SR 

and thought I would give it a try. I have been using it for about 

2 months and have noticed improvement in both the pain and 

stiffness. This is a great product and I plan on using it regularly. 

Thanks. – Pete S. 

Bosmeric-SR is the BEST natural anti-inflammatory ever! 

My lung function was severely compromised due to prescription 

antibiotics prescribed by my OB/GYN—causing wheezing, 

coughing, and lung damage for an entire year. I received no 

relief from my Pulmonary Specialist. I began taking Bosmeric- 

SR, two caplets twice per day and my lung function improved 

immediately! Every symptom I had prior to taking Bosmeric- 

SR is now gone! I continue to take Bosmeric-SR on a regular

basis for arthritis and allergies, with zero side effects and great 

results. I highly recommend Bosmeric-SR. It is so good to feel 

well again! – Anne C. 

When I ran out of it, I started to realize how much inflammation 

I actually have. That stuff really works! – Juan G. 

I began taking Bosmeric-SR in March of 2012. Within minutes 

of beginning my first dose, I began to feel relief from the joint 

pain and stiffness of fibromyalgia that I have had for many 

years. I have noticed many benefits, including better digestion 

(relief from IBS symptoms) and a reduction of inflammation in 

general. I simply cannot live without it! – Ramona M. 

I have COPD and have to use oxygen. When I took Bosmeric- 

SR, after about 1 hour, I started to feel the air come into my 

lungs like I haven’t felt in years. – Rob S. 

Do not settle for generic ingredients, false claims, borrowed 

or skewed data, imitations or copies. Bosmeric-SR — 

Extraordinary Results! Potency and Purity are Guaranteed.

The Hormone & Anti- 

Aging Center Now Open! 

By Tom White, RPh, PhC and Frank Latino, RPh, MS, PhC 

Former Highland Pharmary employees Pharmacists Tom White and Frank Latino strike out on their own with 

“The Hormone & Anti-Aging Center of New Mexico”, a compounding Pharmacy and Clinic! 

After 31 years at Highland Pharmacy, you can now find 

Tom White RPh, PhC, and Frank Latino, RPh, MS., 

PhC (at Highland for more than 20 years) in their 

new home at The Hormone and Anti-Aging Center of New 

Mexico (HAAC). This unique business is a new paradigm in 

the practice of Pharmacy (in New Mexico) and is stunning 

inside with a lovely spa-like atmosphere! 

During his early years at 

Highland Pharmacy, Tom 

started and developed Highland’s 

complete hormone and 

compounding program, including 

protocols, formulations 

and educational materials 

that were unique to the 

industry at that time (now 

standard in the industry)! 

Tom is a pioneer in the field 

of Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement 

Therapy (BHRT), 

and Frank is one of the most 

knowledgeable pharmacists in 

the field of alternative health 

care and Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy 

(BHRT). HAAC represents the future of anti-aging pharmaceutical 

compounding. 

Facts of Aging: By current estimates, we are all 

living longer. The percentage of the elderly population to 

total population continues to rise, 

promising an impending challenge 

and significant effect on the health care 

system. The symptoms of aging whether 

it be “menopause” for women or 

“andropause” for men has revived and 

stimulated the old notion of practicing 

preventive medicine. The ever growing 

field of anti-aging medicine is suggesting 

that supporting the endocrine system as 

we age might be very beneficial. Maintaining some form of 

hormone balance through the replenishment of hormones 

levels which our bodies no longer enjoy seems to be 

fundamental to the practice of comprehensive preventative 

medicine. As we approach 50, almost all hormone levels start 

to change or drop—usually never to be restored unless we 

supplement. 

Exactly what is Compounding? Compounding 

is the practice of ancient traditional pharmacy. It is the heritage 

of pharmacy. A compounded prescription is defined as 

the combination of 2 or more ingredients when combined is 

intended to elicit a medicinal or therapeutic effect. The preparation 

must be safe (do no harm), prepared to the specification 

of the prescribing practitioner using only USP, FDA approved 

ingredients. The compound 

must be free of contamination, 

have a specified stability, 

maintain a high level of pharmaceutical 

elegance (would 

you use the product yourself), 

packaged and stored correctly, 

address the issue of efficacy 

and be prepared in a pharmacy 

laboratory compliant with USP 

795 and 797 guidelines. These 

are a few of the issues and concerns 

that we as compounding 

pharmacists face with each 

formulation. HAAC continues 

to improve and strive for perfection 

in the formulations they dispense. It is very important 

to your health to understand and know the capability of your 

compounding pharmacist. 

Why Compound? Without compounding the modern 

world of medicine in the United States as we know it today 

would not exist. Millions of compounded prescriptions are 

prepared each day by pharmacists in the US. Are you allergic 

to preservatives, dyes, or possibly require a special dosage or 

delivery system not available in commercial pharmaceuticals? 

Is the preparation your practitioner wants to prescribe not 

commercially available? Is the commercial product you 

were using no longer available? These are just a few of the 

reasons why an exceptional compounding pharmacist can be 

extremely helpful. 

Multiple Disciplines at HAAC: In addition to cutting 

edge compounding services, this innovative and distinctive 

pharmacy incorporates several disciplines of medicine under 

one roof, including an esthetician, a nurse practitioner, and a 

Doctor of Oriental Medicine, offering Live Blood Analysis. 

*Pharmacist Clinicians: Tom and Frank are both 

pharmacist clinicians (granted by both the Board of Pharmacy 

and the Medical Board). As such, they have prescriptive au- 


thority and can access patient’s needs and write appropriate 

prescriptions within an approved scope of practice, including: 

Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy, topical antiaging 

preparations, (such as Retin A), Hydroquinone (Bleach 

Creams), anti-wrinkle, anti-aging preparations 

and other skin preserving preparations, 

topical pain gels and creams and 

more. The team at HAAC is here to help 

practitioners fulfill the unique needs of 

their patients, and patients are referred 

frequently to practitioners in the community 

for a wide variety of services. 

*A Pharmacist Clinician by definition and 

legislated in the state of New Mexico, Montana, and 

North Carolina is considered a mid-level primary 

care practitioner. 

Beauty, Warmth & Function: The Hormone and 

Anti-Aging Center of New Mexico is located at 5510 Lomas 

Blvd NE along with (but separate from) Phil’s Pills Pharmacy. 

A door between the two businesses allows access to the full 

line pharmacy and the friendly staff of Phil’s Pills. HAAC is 

very unique to Albuquerque. It’s warm, nostalgic feeling invites 

everyone to-come-on-in. 

HAAC also boasts a state of the art compounding 

pharmacy laboratory with the capability of preparing almost 

any formulation for the patient from the simplest to the more 

complex high risk sterile preparations. The laboratory was 

specially designed and built for efficiency and productivity and 

is 100 percent compliant with both USP 795 non-sterile and 

797 sterile preparation guidelines. 

Once inside, you will enjoy a relaxed, confident and 

professional atmosphere and HAAC is completely service 

oriented. For Tom and Frank, providing superior customer 

service is essential. “Our intent is for every person who enters 

to walk out with a plan; a sense of direction, a referral, an 

idea…something that will give them hope in their challenge 

for better health.”

The Wave of the Future – 

BRAIN BALANCING 

By Louise Swartswalter, ND, CBS, CNHP, CALT 

Our Brain Boosters Program continues to grow and achieve amazing results. Please join us September19, 

at 6:30pm in the Albuquerque Natural Health Center Office to learn how you and your family can optimize 

brain power, enhance your memory, increase your focus and achieve better grades in school. Read more at 

www.abqnaturalhealthcenter.com. See events. 

The wave of the future in healing is brain balancing. 

It is the Central Nervous System (CNS) comprised of 

the brain and spinal cord that send signals 

to every part of your body to control vital functions 

such as breathing, heart rate, motor functions 

and hormones. It also controls your thoughts, 

emotions, learning, memory and speech. 

As Dr. Amen said, “Change your brain and 

change your life.” All of our five biofeedback 

programs work on balancing the brain and this is 

why we are able to affect change for many different 

imbalances: anxiety, depression, allergies, ADD/ 

ADHD, Autism, Parkinson’s, fibromyalgia, acid reflux, etc. I 

like to work on the whole simultaneously — physical, mental, 

emotional and spiritual to optimize results. Working on one 

area at a time is like building a house and forgetting to put in 

the electrical system. 

Our Brain Boosters program works long 

distance, sending frequencies to harmonize 

and balance the brain waves, increase memory 

and balance the neurotransmitters (serotonin, 

dopamine and others). New brain information (my 

work) has been added this to the program so this 

group will be “super charged.” Join us September 

19 at 6:30 PM in the office and change your brain 

for life! See more at www.abqnaturalhealthcenter. 

com and www.lousieswartswalter.com. 

Recently I have added soul level work. By addressing the 

soul level, plus the mental-emotional and physical work in 

combination, clients are able to reduce the number of sessions 

needed; saving money, time and energy. I am teaching this 

work in the Geotran Class in Denver Sept. 7, 8 and 9. 

Please join me for an introduction to this breakthrough 

soul-brain work at the Truly Alive Health and Spirituality 

Workshop, September 22, 10:30 am. 

I am very happy to say that I am experiencing a real and 

noticeable benefit from your work. Thank you SO much. 

Being a practitioner myself, it is SO nice to have someone 

else work on me as I usually don’t work on myself as often as 

I could for sure, so thank you. I want to sign up for your next 

group along with 2 sons and father you already have us in 

your system for Brain Boosting.

From Self-Centered to 

Universal Consciousness 

By Wendy Foxworth, Center for Conscious Living 

The Center for Conscious Living is an evolving spiritual 

community whose purpose is to embody unconditional 

love. To fulfill this purpose, we provide tools and 

methodologies that help people shift from self-centered 

to universal consciousness. We honor universal Truths 

expressed in many different religious, spiritual, philosophical 

and psychological schools of thought and are blessed by all 

individualized expressions of Spirit. 

Dare to Go Beyond the Field of “Right and Wrong” 

As a non-membership, non-profit organization, we 

study spirituality in the context of developmental levels 

of consciousness. Our contribution to humanity is to be a 

welcoming place where people can learn to increase their level 

of consciousness to become practical channels of unconditional 

love in all forms of relationship. Our integral education program 

challenges people to go beyond the “field of right and wrong” 

to live in the “field of oneness” with all creation. 

Consciousness is the invisible unified field of energy/Spirit 

out of which arises everything in the universe. We awaken to 

the reality of consciousness over time and developmentally. Just 

as a second grader and tenth grader have different capabilities 

and skills in a K-12 educational system, so too do we gain 

new skills, abilities and capabilities at each successive level of 

consciousness. When one becomes aware that there are levels 

of consciousness, it is possible to embody one new level of 

consciousness every five years. 

Make the Shift to Universal Consciousness 

Making the collective shift from self-centered to universal 

consciousness in the next 10 years is a critical factor in our being 

able to co-create positive and life-giving possibilities for the 

future of the human race. The Center for Conscious Living 

provides a safe and open place to explore making this shift. 

Help Birth the Era of Conscious Evolution in 2012 

The methodology we are using now to embody and model 

universal consciousness is the work of Barbara Marx Hubbard, 

Birth 2012 and Beyond: Humanity’s Great Shift to the Age of 

Conscious Evolution. By invitation only Barbara will be meeting 

with those who are a part of our Evolutionary Circle and Birth 

2012 Consciousness Study on September 15th. We encourage 

those who aren’t able to be a part of our regular programming 

events to attend The Seed Institute Conference in Albuquerque 

on September 13-17 where Barbara will be speaking about 

Birth 2012. 

Schedule of Events for September and October 

Sundays 11am-1pm, ”Consciousness Study” Currently we are 

studying the Birth 2012 Movement as a path to making the 

shift from self-centered to universal consciousness. We will be 

studying “Being Prosperous in this Economy” on October 7th 

(and is the title/subject of our talk at the Truly Alive Workshop on 

9/22/12, 9am. See pg. 7 for more details). 

Tuesdays 5:30-7pm, “Beginner’s Tai Chi Chih” begins on 

September 11th. 

Wednesdays, 6:30-9pm, beginning October 10th, we will 

sponsor a “Conscious Evolution/Evolutionary Circle” 

experience that helps one learn what it is like to relate in 

community with others from Essence instead of Ego. 

Thursdays 5:30-8pm, we are a part of “Circles® New Mexico” 

co-creating community to support families with low income to 

leave poverty behind in their life experience. Join us as we make 

unconditional love a reality in the lives of others. 

Fridays, 6:30-9pm, the “Community Choir for Peace” 

rehearses. This choir practices allowing Spirit/Source Energy to 

sing peace in and through each individual and the group as a 

whole. Be peace and sing peace into our community.

European Commission Report Recommends 

Phasing Out Dental Amalgam 

By Dr. Mercola (Excerpted from an article published on August 8, 2012 ) 

A 

European Commission report by the BIO 

Intelligence Service (BIOS) recommended the 

phase-out of dental amalgam and mercury in button 

cell batteries has many wondering if the whole of Europe will 

eliminate the use of dental mercury by 2018. 

It’s about time, and hopefully it would push the United 

States to quickly follow suit. Currently about half of U.S. 

dentists are mercury-free, and 77 percent of consumers 

who are informed that amalgam fillings are mostly mercury 

would choose a mercury-free alternative and are willing 

to pay more for it. The European Commission has been 

working to reduce mercury exposure to humans for the 

past seven years. 

While the official stand has been that dental amalgam is 

safe, recent studies suggest otherwise. Sweden has already 

phased out dental mercury, and several other European 

countries have either significantly reduced its use or have 

imposed restrictions on it. The United States has been 

shockingly slow to respond to mounting evidence of 

significant harm from dental amalgam. 

It’s important to understand that the term “silver filling” 

is profoundly deceptive, as the material contains anywhere 

from 49 to 54 percent mercury, not silver. The American 

Dental Association (ADA) has historically covered up this 

fact, and at one time even declared that removing mercury 

fillings is unethical—despite the known fact that dental 

amalgam emits mercury vapor after it is implanted in your 

mouth, and this mercury is bioaccumulative and endangers 

your health in many ways. 

The BIOS recommendations have yet to be adopted, 

but the European Environmental Bureau (EEB) and the 

Mercury Policy Project say they welcome the study. Project 

coordinator for the EEB’s Zero Mercury Campaign, Elena 

Lymberidi-Settimo, said the work shows that “mercury 

use must be phased out,” especially since alternatives to 

mercury use in dentistry are available. “It’s high time that 

mercury becomes the exception rather than the rule,” she 

said to PR Newswire. 

The Environmental Effects of Dental Amalgams: 

The BIOS report primarily focuses on the environmental 

impacts of dental amalgam as opposed to the health effects 

of having mercury, a potent neurotoxin, in your mouth. 

According to the authors of the report, dental amalgam 

is “a significant contributor to overall EU environmental 


Bill Wolfe, D.D.S. 

emissions of mercury from human activities.” The situation 

is identical in the US. Still, the report offers plenty of 

evidence suggestive of the potential health ramifications 

of the archaic and downright barbaric practice of placing 

mercury in your teeth. 

According to the report: 

“The current levels of mercury pollution in the EU are such 

that all the EU population is exposed to mercury above the 

natural background level and certain population groups such 

as high-level fish consumers, women of childbearing age and 

children are subject to high risk levels, principally due to their 

high exposure and/or high vulnerability to mercury in the 

form of methyl mercury, which is ingested through the diet. 

This presents a risk of negative impacts on health, in 

particular affecting the nervous system and diminishing 

intellectual capacity. 

There are also environmental risks, for example the 

disturbance of microbiological activity in soils and harm to 

wildlife populations. The effects of mercury releases on the 

integrity of the ecosystem are substantial. Various species, 

especially eagles, loons, kingfishers, ospreys, ibises, river 

otters, mink and others that rely on fish for a large part of 

their diet, have been observed to suffer adverse health and/ 

or behavioral effects. Observed disorders such as effects on 

the muscles and nervous system, reduced or altered mating 

habits, ability to reproduce, raise offspring, catch food and 

avoid predators have been demonstrated to affect individual 

animal viability and overall population stability. 

According to calculations based on the critical load concept, 

more than 70 percent of the European ecosystem area is 

estimated to be at risk today due to mercury, with critical 

loads of mercury exceeded in large parts of western, central 

and southern Europe.” 

World Health Organization Report Also Urges Cessation of 

Dental Amalgam: 

WHO also urges “a switch in use of dental materials” away 

from amalgam. WHO noted the following three reasons for 

the new position: 

• Amalgam releases a “significant amount of mercury” 

into the environment, including the atmosphere, 

surface water, groundwater, and soil. 

• Dental amalgam raises “general health concerns.” The

eport observes: “According to the Norwegian Dental 

Biomaterials Adverse Reaction Unit, the majority of cases 

of side-effects of dental filling materials are linked with 

dental amalgam.” 

• Alternative dental restoration 

materials are available. The 

report cites studies indicating that 

many alternatives are superior 

to amalgam, and states that 

“alternative restorative materials 

of sufficient quality are available 

for use in the deciduous [baby] 

dentition of children”—the 

population whose developing 

neurological systems are most 

susceptible to the neurotoxic effects of dental mercury. 

Perhaps more important than the survival of the filling, 

WHO asserts that: “Adhesive resin materials allow for less 

tooth destruction and, as a result, a longer survival of the 

tooth itself.” 

The WHO report also included mention of the known 

toxic effects of mercury exposure, stating: “Mercury is 

highly toxic and harmful to health. Approximately 80 percent 

of inhaled mercury vapor is absorbed in the blood through 

the lungs, causing damages to lungs, kidneys and the nervous, 

digestive, respiratory and immune systems. Health effects 

from excessive mercury exposure include tremors, impaired 

vision and hearing, paralysis, insomnia, emotional instability, 

developmental deficits during fetal development, and 

attention deficit and developmental delays during childhood.” 

popular alternatives to amalgam is resin composite, made of 

a type of plastic reinforced with powdered glass. It is already 

common throughout the U.S. and the rest of the developed 

world, offering notable improvements over amalgam, as it: 

• Is environmentally safe: 

Composite, which contains no 

mercury, does not pollute the 

environment. This saves taxpayers 

from paying the costs of cleaning 

up dental mercury pollution in our 

water, air, and land – and the costs 

of health problems associated with 

mercury pollution. 

• Preserves healthy tooth structure, 

because, unlike amalgam, it does not require the removal 

of significant amounts of healthy tooth matter. Over the 

long term, composite preserves healthy tooth structure 

and can actually strengthen teeth, leading to better oral 

health and less extensive dental work over the longterm. 

• Is long-lasting: While some claim that amalgam fillings 

last longer than composite fillings, the science reveals 

this claim to be baseless. The latest studies show that 

composite not only lasts as long as amalgam, but actually 

has a higher overall survival rate. 

Alternatives are Readily Available… and Desired by Most 

Americans: 

Far from being an essential dental product with no viable 

alternatives, amalgam is interchangeable with many other 

filling materials—including resin composites and glass 

ionomers—which have rendered amalgam completely 

unnecessary for any clinical situation. One of the most

TRULY ALIVE FEATURE SECTION 

An Interview with Gregg Braden 

and an Overview of his newest book, 

Deep Truth, Igniting the Memory of Our 

Origin, History, Destiny and Fate 

by Karen Larré, Carla Garcia & Mary Anne Weaver 

New York Times best selling 

author Gregg Braden is 

internationally renowned as 

a pioneer in bridging science 

and spirituality. Following a successful 

career as a Computer Geologist for 

Phillips Petroleum during the 1970’s 

energy crisis, he worked as a Senior 

Computer Systems Designer with 

Martin Marietta Defense Systems during 

the last years of the Cold War. In 1991, he 

became The First Technical Operations 

Manager for Cisco Systems where he led 

the development of the global support 

team that insures the reliability of today’s 

internet. 

For more than 25 years, Gregg has 

searched high mountain villages, remote 

monasteries, and forgotten texts to 

uncover their timeless secrets. His work 

is now featured on the History Channel, 

the Discovery Channel, The Sci Fi 

Channel, ABC and NBC. 

To date, Gregg’s discoveries have 

led to such paradigm-shattering books 

as: The Isaiah Effect, The God Code, The 

Divine Matrix, and Fractal Time which 

debuted in 2009 at #5 on the New York 

Times bestseller list just 2 weeks after 

its release! His newest, Deep Truth: 

Igniting the Origin of Our Origin, 

History, Destiny 

and Fate provides 

insight into many 

scientific false 

assumptions, 

discusses their 

implications and 

talks about how 

humanity may be 

at a critical tipping 

point. Gregg’s 

work is published 

in 38 languages and 33 countries and 

shows us beyond any reasonable doubt 

that the key to our future lies in the 

wisdom of our past. 

Truly Alive: Can we start with your 

telling us what you mean by “deep truth?” 

Gregg Braden: The newest book, Deep 

Truth was released in the fall of 2011. This 

book was almost complete before it even 

had a title, which is very unusual for me. 

Albert Einstein had a conversation with 

Neils Bohr, the Nobel Prize winning 

physicist, regarding the discoveries (of 

that time) that were overturning what 

had been held—up to that point—as 

scientific truth. Neils Bohr said, “It is 

the hallmark of any deep truth that its 

negation is also a deep truth.” I realized 

that what Neils Bohr said about these 

discoveries of the mid-20th century is 

precisely what is happening in our world 

right now. New discoveries are now 

overturning the deepest truths held by 

science over the last 150 years. These are 

peer-reviewed science-based discoveries 

—not speculation. They are peerreviewed 

facts and these new discoveries 

are showing us where our thinking is 

either incomplete, or flat-out wrong. It’s 

critical to understand this right now 

because our young people (as well as the 

experts) are simply not aware of some 

of these discoveries. We are now being 

asked to solve the greatest crises in the 

world with the same thinking that led to 

the crises. The consequences are that the 

solutions aren’t working. 

TA: What does humanity need to 

understand right now, that will allow us 

all to effectively address today’s crises? 

GB: In Deep Truth, I’ve identified five 

key, false assumptions that science has 

made over the last 150 years. 

The first key assumption is, no 

surprise, from Charles Darwin, 

regarding evolution. We’ve been taught 

that evolution explains life itself, and the 

human mind specifically. The problem 

with that neither the physical data nor 

DNA data supports it. 

Gregg Braden in Caral, Peru 

The second key assumption regards 

civilization itself. When I was in school, 

I was taught that civilization is about 

5,000, maybe 5,500 years old…that it 

is linear, beginning in the primitive 

state, and has advanced to the pinnacle 

of technology that we see today. The 

problem with that is, peer-reviewed 

archaeological discoveries are now 

pushing the accepted date of advanced 

civilization to over twice as old as we’ve 

been led to believe, back to the end of the 

last ice age, around 11,500 years ago. 

False assumption number 3 

regards physics. It simply states that 

consciousness is somehow separate from 

our physical world. Once again the data 

doesn’t support this. Professor John 

Wheeler from Princeton University, a 

colleague of Einstein—was very bold 

in saying that we cannot separate 


consciousness from the rest of the world. 

Professor Wheeler stated that the failure 

to find the unified field theory in physics 

is due to having written consciousness 

out of the equation. 

False assumption number 4 is also 

with regard to physics, and it says that 

the space between physical things is 

empty. We now know that there is no 

empty space. There are forms of energy 

that occupy all space. We’ve been led to 

believe that everything is separate from 

everything else, and what we do in one 

place has little or no impact on what 

happens somewhere else. Now we know 

that is not the case. 

The last false assumption is perhaps 

the most critical when it comes to the 

changes we are being asked to make in 

our world today. With regard to nature, 

Darwin stated in his book On the 

Origins of Species, that nature is based 

upon what is called “survival of the 

strongest.” Darwin was the first scientist 

to attempt to answer the big questions 

of the origins of life, beyond the realm 

of the religious community and the 

church. Because Darwin attempted to 

answer these questions through the 

emerging language of science, his ideas 

were quickly embraced with very little 

question, in the world at that time. 

People say to me, “OK, Gregg, maybe 

Darwin wasn’t quite right. And that 

was over 150 years ago. What difference 

could it possibly make in our modern 

sophisticated technological world 

today?” We live in the modern world of 

the 21st century; that is true. We have 

refined ideas, but the ideas were actually 

developed in the late 1800’s and early 

1900’s when Darwin’s ideas were very 

popular. Possibly the best example of 

the “Survival of the strongest” idea is 

our global economy. Corporations are 

based upon the idea of “Survival of the 

strongest.” Our young people in school 

more often than not are taught that it’s 

all about getting the right answer on the 

test, or about scoring the right point on 

the field. The underlying belief is, we live 

in the world that’s “dog eat dog”— a world 

of scarcity, a world of lack, where there is 

one pie and everyone must fight for their 

slice. The problem is, the best science of 

our time is telling us that nature is NOT 

based upon “Survival of the strongest.” 

While we may see expressions of that 

in nature, they are response-specific 

situations. The over-arching rule in 

nature is that it is based upon a model of 

cooperation and mutual aid. 

There are two primary kinds 

of competition: There is a form of 

competition where one person or one 

group benefits at the expense of another; 

where a group or an individual exploit 

the weaknesses of another. In nature, 

that’s called violent competition. There’s 

another form of competition, where a 

group or an individual excels simply 

because they have developed their 

abilities to their highest expression. Over 

four hundred studies were done in the 

last 15 years that asked the same question: 

what is the optimum amount of violent 

competition in the environment? What 

the studies found was, the optimum 

amount of violent competition in ANY 

situation is ZERO, in any environment 

—in the workplace, in the classroom, on 

the playing field. Competition always, 

always, always is detrimental to the 

individual and to the group. In 2008, the 

prestigious journal New Scientist did an 

essay encapsulating this work and the 

new discoveries, emphasizing that what 

we see in the wild is not every animal out 

for itself, and if cooperation were to break 

down, the results would be disastrous. 

These new discoveries tell us the 

bottom line is: we know that nature, the 

real nature, is based on cooperation and 

mutual aid, and that’s a very different 

way of going about solving our problem 

than competition and conflict. We are 

witnessing the expression…the extremes 

of these false assumptions, along with an 

opportunity to embrace the best science 

of our time. Can we marry that science 

with our most cherished spiritual and 

indigenous traditions to weave a new 

wisdom that is greater than anything 

that we have had in the past? This is the 

essence of the book Deep Truth. 

TA: You have journeyed to many 

archeological sites, because you believe 

the ancient past hold the keys to the 

future. In what way? 

GB: When I was in school, I was shown 

charts of the history of the world. They all 

said that our history began about 5,000 

years ago in ancient Sumeria. Now, what 

we are finding is this: there is a common 

theme that runs through the advanced 

civilizations of the world, prior to 5,000 

years ago. In every instance with the 

excavations, no evidence of war has been 

found; no evidence of the need to defend 

Gregg Braden playing an Andean flute 

homes and cities against intruders—no 

evidence of weapons, of walls, of moats. 

No evidence of mass graves (that you 

would expect at the end of large scale 

wars) were ever found; none of the 

mutilated bodies and severed limbs with 

axes in skulls (that you would expect 

to find after wars). As a scientist, I have 

to say one of two things is happening 

here: either 1) weapons exist, and they 

haven’t been found, or 2) they don’t 

exist because war is not human nature. 

A growing number of historians and 

anthropologists are beginning to write in 

their papers that war is an aberration of 

human experience. It’s a habit that began 

5,000 years ago with the first evidence of 

large scale war in the nation of Sumeria. 

If war is a habit that was learned 5,000 

years ago, the question is—can we 

unlearn that habit? Archaeology itself— 

the peer-reviewed science of civilization 

—is now confirming human nature is 

also based on a model of cooperation 

and mutual aid. 

TA: Why is it important for us to 

understand that the global economic 

collapse did not happen quickly or without 

notice? 

GB: I think Truly Alive readers are 

well-informed and know that this is no 

ordinary time in the history of the world. 

But for many people in the mainstream, 

it took people by surprise. In all honesty, 

so many people’s lives are so full with 

just trying to get through the day, trying 

to get their kids to school, keep dinner 

on the table, hold down their jobs, stay 

healthy and have some semblance of a 

social life; they just don’t spend a lot of 

time delving into the intricacies of what 

keeps our civilization on track. They 

trust the people in control. They trust the 

continued on p26 


Gregg Braden Interview cont’d from p25 

Gregg Braden showing 

a Yucatan glyph 

people in government and politics—to 

a large degree. 

Experts knew (and they told in 

2005) that the world economic system 

was unsustainable and was going to 

collapse. But it’s hard to think about 

those things when everything looks 

like it’s chugging along pretty well. 

Some of the economists that tried to 

alert people were laughed out of the 

rooms; some of them lost their jobs, 

and their essays weren’t printed. People 

and publications refused to hear them 

or print them. And, those same people are now telling us that 

what happened in 2008 and 2009 is the first leg; and that we’re 

in for the second leg if we don’t change our way of thinking. I 

don’t know what’s going to happen in the world. I don’t think 

anyone knows for certain. But I do know, whatever happens, 

it’s going to take an unprecedented level of cooperation on an 

individual and on a global basis to address the crises. 

TA: Is there anything else that you would like people to know 

about you and your work? 

GB: Over the last five years, I’ve been on every continent of 

the Earth except Antarctica. People know that something is 

happening. The question is, what does it mean? People ask, 

“What can we do?” When we recognize how steeped we are 

A Positive Path for 

Spiritual Living 

in the false assumptions 

of science, we begin to 

recognize that consciously 

and often unconsciously, 

we live our lives asking a 

question. The question in 

Gregg Braden in Reed Islands the past has been, “What 

can I get from the world 

that exists?” In light of the new discoveries, we need to make 

the shift to the new question, “What can I give to the world 

that’s emerging?” The way we answer that question changes 

everything about the way that we approach every problem, 

from those of our personal lives, to those of our families, our 

communities, and our nations. 

What we’ll find is that when we give our heart’s passion, 

our greatest gift, the things that we are so passionate about— 

not necessarily what we’ve been trained to do or what pays the 

best—but when we give in that way, we become better people 

and we will create a better world. 

Gregg Braden will be a featured speaker (along with Barbara 

Marx Hubbard, Marianne Williamson and a host of other 

powerful speakers at the Wisdom of the Origins Conference” 

The Mayan Calendar and Other Prophecies on the Future of 

Humanity, September 13-17, 2012 at the Marriott Pyramid 

in ABQ. The conference is sponsored by the Seed Institute,

Exploring the Essence of Time at the 

Wisdom from the Origins Conference 

By Glenn Aparicio Parry, PhD, President of Seed Institute 

The ancients understood that time unfolded in the 

energy of a circle, emergent from a particular origin 

and radiating outward, much like the rings of a tree or 

ripples of water. This energy was understood to permeate all of 

nature. The role of human beings, therefore, was not to control, 

but to synchronize with what was unfolding. We were attuned 

to cycles of time, which we learned directly from nature. We 

understood that nature was the original teacher. 

The ancient calendars of Indigenous civilizations such as 

the Mayan culture directly embodied this teaching. You are 

invited to discover this ancient wisdom for yourself, and how 

it is relevant today, at THE Conference of 2012. Coming this 

September 13th-17th, at the Marriott Pyramid in Albuquerque, 

NM, it is called: Wisdom from the Origins: The Mayan Calendar 

and Other Prophecies on the Future of Humanity. It brings 

together Indigenous elders, social visionaries, ecologists, 

philosophers, healers, and experts on the Mayan calendar — 

more than 35 in all — to one place. The entire conference will 

be conducted in circles within circles, both in the large plenary 

sessions and in the smaller breakout rooms. 

Gregg Braden, Barbara Marx Hubbard, Marianne 

Williamson, James O’Dea, Kenny Ausubel, Nina Simons, 

Robert Sitler, and Kenneth Johnson are joined by the Head of 

the Mayan Council of Elders, Don Alejandro; Grandmother 

Flordemayo and 5 other members of The Council of 13 

Indigenous Grandmothers, as well as Mayan daykeepers Tata 

Pedro and Don Gaspar Xiu; Hopi elders Vernon Masayesva 

and Jerry Honawa; revered Maori Tohuna wisdom keeper 

Rose Pere, Ohki Simine Forest, Leroy Little Bear; Sequoyah 

Trueblood; Ac Tah, and many others. All are in service of 

helping the people give birth to a new consciousness in this 

pivotal year. For more information and to register, see www. 

seedinstituteabq.org or call 505-792-2900. 

Wisdom from the Origins offers an unprecedented 

opportunity to learn from the elders themselves and to 

participate in group dialogue, storytelling, and ceremonies 

that promote balance, harmony, and healing. 

With opening ceremonies at Chaco Canyon and a special 

performance by the renowned Dancing Earth Indigenous Dance 

troupe, this conference promises to be relevant for a very long 

time into the future. Join in circle as we co-create a better future 

together. www.seedinstituteabq.org or 505-792-2900.

The Heart is a Radiator, Not 

a Discriminator 

4th in a Series of Articles About Chakras 

Excerpt from “The Wisdom of the Chakras” By Ellen Tadd 

The heart chakra is located in the obvious place, the 

heart area in the chest. It is the center of love, joy, 

generosity, courage, and forgiveness. Love with its 

pervasive positivity, is concentrated in the heart chakra 

and is a warm, accepting, unifying feeling that makes us 

feel good to be alive. When unrestricted, the feeling 

of love stimulates appreciation for life, while 

simultaneously supporting and celebrating the 

evolutionary process of fully realizing our 

spiritual identity. The heart chakra radiates 

love whether it is expressed in words, 

deeds, or simply in a presence. When 

unblocked, love is a natural force that 

flows out of the spiritual essence. 

In my observation, the heart chakra 

has an inner and an out chamber; the inner 

chamber contains the intension and 

underlying desire to love, the outer chamber 

emanates and expresses love. Both chambers 

can absorb the feeling of love when unobstructed 

by hurts and fears. 

The radiating force of love can be interrupted by hurts, fears, 

and misconceptions. Like clouds that block the sun, anxieties, 

emotional wounds, and distorted beliefs can obstruct the 

warmth and radiance of the heart chakra. Yet even when the 

sun is covered over by clouds, it is still warm; similarly, even 

when love is not acknowledged or experienced, it is stored in 

the heart chakra. 

People with a healthy inner heart chamber feel the 

intention and wish to express and receive love. Yet many may 

be unable to actualize their desire consistently or sometimes 

even partially because their outer heart chambers have 

become blocked or damaged. This affliction is caused by an 

accumulation of negative emotional reactions to unwanted 

experiences such as feeling hurt when a spouse is unkind. The 

repeated occurrence of feeling emotionally hurt blocks the 

flow of love from the outer heart chamber. These blockages can 

protect the heart from experiencing further injury, but they 

also obstruct the heart’s ability to receive and express love. If 

hurts and disappointments accumulate, not only can the outer 

heart chamber become damaged but the inner heart chamber 

can be impaired. Then a feeling of deep unhappiness settles in. 

Our desire to express love fades, while feelings of selfishness, 

indifference, or hatred grow. 

Blocking, however is only one of two ways to protect your 

heart chakra from injury. The healthy way is through clarity. 

Clarity, which comes from the third eye, protects the heart 

from hurt because the third eye sees that an unkind person is 

a learning person. My guides say it this way, “If everyone were 

enlightened, everyone would be loving.” We protect the heart 

chakra from pain by viewing life from a spiritual perspective, 

focusing from the third eye, and maintaining spiritual attitudes. 

Then it becomes possible to consistently see 

our circumstances and other people’s behavior 

as part of a positive evolutionary growth process. 

When we emphasize learning and the 

development of consciousness, each situation 

offers constructive knowledge and 

lessons. By cultivating and affirming this 

understanding of the human condition, 

we are less likely to take the behaviors 

of others and life’s difficulties personally. 

This allows love to flow and protects the 

heart from harm. 

The hurt of the heart is a by-product of 

being attached to outcomes. Such attachment is 

commonly created by a focus (conscious or unconscious) 

on the solar plexus chakra. By shifting focus to the third eye 

we perceive the world in a spiritual context. This attunement 

promotes objectivity and serves as an antidote to attachment, 

and thus helps to sustain an open heart chakra. Uniting the 

third eye with the heart chakra creates a sense of wholeness 

and balance, whether others reciprocate love or not. 

I cannot emphasize too much that the heart chakra is a center 

of love not the center of discernment. 

Individuals having difficulty making life 

decisions are often advised to “follow 

their heart.” Doing so is a problem if a 

person is focused and operating from 

the solar plexus chakra rather than the 

third eye, for then the heart chakra will 

function as an emotional, reactionary, or 

needy center, which prevents the heart 

from giving a clear message. Like the sun 

that shines on my lawn and yours, the 

heart radiates without discrimination. 

Thus, it is critically important that the heart chakra be united 

with the third eye and its wisdom rather that than with the 

solar plexus and its focus on feelings and emotions. People 

with good intentions may feel loving, but their choices may be 

inappropriate, unwise, and ultimately, unloving if the third-eye 

chakra is not activated and united with the heart chakra.

Your Last Diet 

By Dr. Jan Jay, DOM 

www.TimetoHealNM.com 

Ever heard of a diet that not only promotes 

fat loss, but at the same time enhances 

muscle tone? Unlike some high protein 

diets that are often high in saturated fats and tax 

the liver and kidneys, the Ideal Protein Weight Loss method 

provides just the right amount of the highest quality protein 

needed to protect vital organs and improve muscle mass. 

The Ideal Protein Weight Loss program is a medically 

designed protocol that results in fat loss while sparing muscle 

mass. It was developed in France over 20 years ago by Dr. Tran 

Tien Chanh, M.D. PhD, who focused his career and research 

on nutrition and obesity. It is a 4-phase protocol which helps 

stabilize the pancreas and blood sugar levels while burning 

fat. On average, women lose 3 to 4 lbs per week, and men lose 

4 to 7 lbs per week. 

High biological IP foods are the best way to get a 

maximum amount of protein with a minimum amount of 

calories. Although the protocol is mainly used to reach and 

maintain a healthy weight, it is also beneficial for diabetics, 

as well as those needing extra nutritional supplementation. 

It is also ideal for those who require convalescent support 

through highly bioavailable protein supplements. We are 

pleased to be able to offer this safe and scientifically proven 

plan for weight loss. 

The Center for Disease Control and Prevention labels 

obesity as public enemy number one. We are one of the richest 

countries in the world with the largest obesity rate per capita, 

and have some of the largest healthcare costs per person. 

How did we get here? Through our increased consumption 

of high fat, sugar dense, nutrient-poor foods, combined with 

reduced physical activity and ever increasing stress levels.

My Body Spoke... 

I Listened 

By Jennifer McKay Vaitkus 

Recently, I had an amazing experience while 

dancing. Throughout that day I heard the 

message, “Focus on the small parts.” So, I 

made this intention for my dance. I brought my 

awareness to the smallest areas in my body; the tip of my nose, 

the skin between my toes, the area at the base of my throat, my 

belly button. Each time I brought my awareness to a part of my 

body it seemed to burst with energy. My body felt so happy I was 

noticing it! Soon, rather than “deciding” where I would focus 

next, various body parts began to speak up themselves. This is 

when the magic started. 

My tailbone wanted attention and as soon as I brought my 

awareness to it, I felt like I wanted to cry. As I danced I listened 

to and FELT my tailbone. My attention went to the space just 

inside my ears and I felt an intense sense of compassion for my 

loved ones. I heard my cheeks calling, and at the same time the 

skin behind my knees and felt so much joy I wanted to burst out 

laughing. I then became aware of the center of my palms. They 

started to burn and I felt a huge surge of energy pour through 

them. I felt my ankles and toes and heard the message “We all 

(meaning all body parts) work together as a community. If one 

part is in pain or needs help we all help. It is only your ego/ 

mind that chooses not to be a part of this community.” What a 

brilliant message! 

This experience taught me that EVERY part of my body 

holds information and power. Our bodies are just waiting for 

us to be aware. Although movement is not essential to hearing 

your body, I really feel that it makes the information much more 

accessible. The more communication we have with our WHOLE 

bodies, the more whole our lives become. 

Jennifer McKay Vaitkus, a belly dancer and psychic, owns 

White Horse, a metaphysical and dancewear shop. She also 

facilitates a weekly spiritual dance gathering, Seven Point 

Dance. Jennifer leads workshops exploring the energy of 

movement and accessing Divine wisdom through dance.

Relief from 

Your Pain 

By Gwen Pullen, CWK, MBA & Dr. Gail Drane , DOM 

There are many types and causes of pain. Your 

pain may be related to sore joints, low back 

issues, strains, etc., or you could be suffering 

from emotional pain, or pain caused by disease, 

stress, an unhealthy lifestyle, or even medical treatments. 

Whatever the reason for your pain, we are here to help; with 

natural and alternative solutions that are easy and work! 

Acupuncture is a proven treatment for pain relief. Chinese 

medicine works on the premise that pain is usually caused by a 

blockage in your meridians (pathways that your energy flows 

through). Meridian blockages can cause physical or emotional 

pain. An astute acupuncturist can diagnose the out of balance 

meridians, treat and relieve your pain. If you have avoided 

acupuncture because of the needles, micro-current electroacupuncture 

can be used to effectively treat the same meridians 

and relieve your pain without the needles. 

Energy healing is another powerful alternative for liberation 

from pain (which can often be as a result of stuck energy in one 

of your chakras). A skilled practitioner can help to clear your 

negative energy and replace it with divine energy. With Pranic 

Healing, practitioners utilize crystals and color to break up the 

energy, pull it out and dump it into salt water. Once the chakras 

are cleansed, practitioners will connect with the divine and 

divine energy flows in. Out with the bad (energy, that is), and 

in with the good. 

Pain is most often an indication that inflammation is present 

in the body. Sometimes inflammation can be caused by the food 

we eat, or by other digestive issues. Kinesiology can also help 

determine what is out of balance in the body, and what the 

body needs to get back into balance — nutritional supplements, 

dietary changes, or emotional clearing.

HCG Diet, Accidents and 

Natural Face Lifts 

By Dr. Carla Garcia, DOM 

What do these things have in common? They are 

treatments offered by Dr. Garcia at Acupuncture 

Specialists. Many people know Dr. Garcia for her 

expertise in thermography, but other services and treatments 

are also available in her office. 

Dieting is always on people’s minds. If we are not on a diet, 

we feel like we should be. Most weight loss programs are very 

hard because it can take weeks to lose those first 10 pounds. 

Human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) is a hormone that can 

be used for quick weight loss that propels you into a lifestyle 

of healthy eating that maintains your weight loss. Real HCG 

is a hormone available only through prescription. The average 

weight loss is about 1/2 to 1 lb per day. Products in stores labeled 

as HCG are homeopathic or herbal and do not contain HCG. 

Medical coverage on car insurance policies usually covers 

acupuncture treatments to help with accident trauma recovery. 

Dr. Garcia uses painless micro-current, acupuncture and tuina 

(massage) to reduce pain and increase mobility. Auto accidents 

can cause nervous system destabilization that leads to physical 

and emotional symptoms. Energy becomes stuck in the body 

from the accident and healing is not possible until the flow 

of energy is re-established. The flow of energy is most easily 

balanced with acupuncture and/or gentle massage. Please call 

505-271-6608 for more information, and provide your insurance 

information. We will confirm your insurance coverage and get 

you started with treatments quickly…reducing your pain. 

In addition to acupuncture and diet counseling, Dr. Garcia 

offers a natural facelift procedure. Colored light and microcurrent 

is used to gently lift the eyelids and reduce wrinkles 

while firming and toning facial muscles. Skin looks and feels 

firmer and is more radiant. This same technique can be used to 

treat acne. Acne treatments are painless and focus on reducing 

inflammation and scarring. To view a 3 minute video on this 

procedure please visit our website at www.thermographynm.

How 

S.T.A.R., Now State of Being 

By Nina Brown 

On October 19 - 21, 2012, the S.T.A.R. Clinic will welcome starseeds at the Santa Ana Pueblo Hyatt Tamaya for a clinic focused 

on “Ascension 2012: Ancient and New Codes Revealed.” After a healing from Divine Mother (Matthew Reifslager), presenters 

will explain what codes are and why they assist in the process of inner alchemy. On Sunday within a stargate portal, codes 

will be transmitted. This quantum tool, the S.T.A.R. Clinic, has been gifted to you. Come join us for this unprecedented event. 

Your participation has the potential to change the trajectory of your life in this most auspicious time in recorded human 

history! www.goldendolphins.com • info@goldendolphins.com 

are we to “Be” in the New Earth? S.T.A.R. is the 

answer. A new age brings with it a new paradigm; 

a new way of living our life. The old ways of force, fear, sorrow 

are to go. The new is to enter: surrender, trust, allow and receive 

(S.T.A.R.) 

Two key components will guide us into the New Earth: 

knowing who we are and living in the Now Moment. Most of 

humanity believes they are the physical vessel from which their 

soul expresses, but they overlook the soul’s expression. Their 

daily choices are governed by their ego self, which is thinking 

hard about what job to get, where to live, how to survive and 

all of the other mind-centered activities of getting through life. 

The ego self has been in charge for eons, but that is coming 

to an end with the advent of the New Earth. It will loose control 

in the elevated frequencies and radiance of the crystalline grid, 

which will be fully online December 12, 2012 and ignited on 

December 21, 2012. On winter solstice 2012, Gaia will connect 

to the crystalline grid and duality will loose its power. We are 

and will witness expanded awareness of our human divinity 

and the softening of our ego selves as each day passes. 

As we learn to live our lives in wholeness with the full 

acceptance that we are divine humans — an individual aspect 

of All That Is, we will choose our life experiences from the Now 

Moment of being. Suffering from the past and fear of the future 

will not control life circumstances. And we will begin to attract 

different experiences. In the words of Eckhart Tolle, author of 

The New Earth, “Your entire life journey ultimately consists of 

the step you are taking at this moment.” 

How do we support the Now State of Being as divine 

humans in the New Earth? S.T.A.R. is again the answer. 

Surrender to the knowing that you are the One Consciousness 

experiencing. Trust that wholeness will catch you as you jump 

off the cliff in the new way of experiencing. Allow what the One 

Consciousness chooses for your life’s expression as being perfect 

in every way imaginable. Receive as already manifested what 

your human divinity has imagined and chosen, with gratitude 

and appreciation even if it is not yet visible. 

In this year of 2012, multi-dimensional/inter-galactic 

beings of light have gifted humanity with the S.T.A.R. 

Clinic, a quantum tool to assist us in moving from ego self 

to the full awareness of our divinity. The S.T.A.R. Clinic is a 

quantum-healing collective comprised of practitioners from 

multi-dimensions, with diverse backgrounds and gifts who 

embody the S.T.A.R. state and work within the unified field to 

facilitate healing and promote well-being. The S.T.A.R. clinic 

is directed outside the realm of individuated consciousness by 

the divine Creator. 

Nina Brown is founder of Gathering of the Golden Dolphins,

The Energy of Prayer 

By Rev. Kylie Renner 

T 

hroughout time, humans have created an incredible 

variety of ways that we can commune and 

communicate with God. There are morning and 

evening prayers, graces said over meals and reverent physical 

gestures. Christians bow their heads and fold their hands. 

Native Americans dance. Sufis whirl. Buddhists sit quietly. 

Hindus offer sacrifices. Orthodox Jews bob their heads 

back and forth. Quakers keep silent. All of these methods of 

connection point to a greater human need to connect with 

the energy of the divine, and to feel its presence in our lives. 

But we also tend to mistake the form of the prayer with the 

actual communion that the prayer is attempting to get us to. 

When we speak of the energy behind thought, or the 

power of faith and prayer, we are not thinking of willpower, 

but of Original Power. The thought, or the prayer, merely 

uses an energy which already is. The electrician does not put 

energy into electricity; he takes it out. And so with prayer, 

as we recognize that there is an energy behind our every 

thought, act, and deed, we can begin to allow all of our 

energy to align with the power and energy of the universe… 

which is constantly seeking to express itself more fully and 

more powerfully in our lives. 

The energy was always there. It becomes our task to find 

our own unique way to connect with it more fully. This is 

why it is so important for us to let go of the outward forms of 

prayer, and explore that which makes us feel connected; that 

which makes us come alive — because the forms alone can’t 

do it. And since the form alone can’t take us to this place 

of connection, many of us have rejected traditional forms of 

prayer, as empty dogma. But within the bowed heads and 

folded hands, the dance, the quietness, the sacrifices, and the 

head bobbing there is a greater truth of our desire to connect 

with Original Power that is being pointed to. And, if we look 

deeper into the form of prayer, we may find ways of access to 

our inner wisdom that we had cut ourselves off from. 

We should also expect that when we seek this deeper 

relationship with the energy behind our prayers, the Original 

Power will rejoice at our awakening, and will find new and 

more powerful ways to express itself through us. This for me 

is answered prayer; not that I took my problem or desire to 

the divine and got what I wanted, but instead, I sought to 

convene with the energy that created all of life. And because 

this communion is my natural state, I opened myself through 

this connection to be available to a greater expression of who 

I have come here to be. 

When focusing on the energy of connection and 

communion (without the need for an outside form or 

instruction), we access a deep knowing within — a 

knowing that provides us with a wisdom and clarity that 

are beyond anything we have experienced before. And we 

become skillful at being not only an inlet, but also an outlet 

for this Original Power. We become skillful at allowing the 

blessing of our connection to not only heal ourselves but 

this entire planet. 

Maybe the next step in recognizing the energy of prayer 

is not only affirming (in our prayers) that we create this sense 

of connection for ourselves, but that all beings awaken to 

their spiritual magnificence…and to their birthright to live 

creative, purposeful, abundant, and prosperous lives.

By Bill Haggard, All About Health 

[This is an advertisement.] 

Water, I think you will agree, is important—especially 

here in the desert. Our physical bodies are made 

up of 90-95% water. Water is a solvent. It hydrates 

our cells and delivers nutrients to them while washing toxins 

and waste products away (including cellular die off). It escorts 

these contaminants to the elimination systems: kidney, bladder, 

liver, colon, lungs, skin and lymph. So it is very important to 

stay hydrated. If you don’t like drinking water alone, squeeze 

a fresh lemon or lime into your water, eat watermelon and 

other high water content fruits and vegetables, and/or buy a 

juicer and make your own fresh fruit or vegetable juice. These 

are nutrient-rich; feed and nourish your cells. You can also 

effectively hydrate your body doing a water enema using 1-1/2 

quarts of clean, purified filtered water, OR receiving a colonic. 

Not only will you be hydrated, you will detoxify yourself, 

which will increase your energy level immediately! 

When I first came to Albuquerque, I checked out a number 

of colon therapists and received treatments from them in order 

to find out who was the best in town. There are a number of 

things I look for in a quality colon therapy office: 

1 

2 

3 

4 

Type of equipment, i.e., open system, closed system, 

direct pressure, gravity fed, etc. 

Do they use filtered water? Is it ozonated, or oxygenated? 

Do they use additives? 

Does the equipment use ultra violet light for last-stage 

purification? 

How long have the provider(s) been doing colonics? Do 

they receive colonics themselves? How many have they 

had and how often do they receive colonics? 

Here at ALL ABOUT HEALTH, INC., the city water goes 

through 6 filtration stages before going into the holding tank, 

where it receives ozonation as the final stage of purification. The 

first stage passes through heavy gauge magnets; the second 

pass is through a restructuring device; third, a sediment filter 

to remove the large particulates; fourth, a 4 foot high carbon 

filtration tank from Pure Water Technologies. Then the water 

goes to my colonic room, kitchen and laundry room. So the 

waters in any of those places are drinkable. Even the towels 

you lay on and cover yourself with are washed in this pristine 

water with plant-based detergent. And then, there are 2 more 

filters in the colonic room (the water goes through) before 

being sent to the holding tank (and into your body). 

In addition (included in every treatment), is a specialized 

water (most often multiple potencies of this water) is used as 

additives. They give the cells more support when releasing the 

stronger toxins; therefore, there is less cramping during the 

releases. 

All this to say: we care about the quality of water going 

into your body. The better the water, the better and easier the 

cells can receive it and cleanse themselves. After 1 hour of 

treatment, as the water is delivered to the far reaches of the 

colon and then delivered osmotically to every cell in your 

body, you feel wonderfully cleansed! 

I told my wife, ‘I’m going to see the Colonic Tsar of New 

Mexico today.’ She said, ‘Who’s that – oh yea, Bill.’

Manifest What You Want 

...Now! By Janet L. Hall, ND, CKP, CMI, CHt, CBT 

I had my first integration with Janet Hall in 2011. While the 

integration was happening, I could feel my energy becoming lighter 

and grounded more in the present moment. I was more empowered, 

peaceful and revitalized. Since the integration, synchronicities and 

financial abundance have really increased, and miracles of all 

sorts are occurring on an everyday basis. I am so grateful, bless 

you Janet. In joy and laughter, 

S. Wood, ABQ 

I went to the Dynamic Integration Class in October in Albuquerque. 

I received a dynamic integration and got an immediate shift! 

My motivation levels went up at least five times, and I felt freed 

up from many of the blocks that were between me and moving 

forward in my goals. I feel 100 pounds lighter. Great class! 

J. Powers, Santa Fe 

Join us for a wonderful interactive workshop showing you 

just how you can manifest what you want now! We will be 

demonstrating Geotran Integrative work. You could be one 

of the people selected for demonstration purposes on the 

group’s behalf, wherein you and all will benefit. This event 

will be held at the Truly Alive Health & Spirituality Workshop 

Weekend, Rio Grande Center for Spiritual Living, 901 Rio 

Grande, Suite E-130, September 23, 2012 from 1-2:15pm. 

Signup @www.trulyalive.net or call Karen Larré at 505-828- 

3430. 

We will show you amazingly fast, easy techniques that a 

facilitator can do for you, or you can learn to do them for yourself! 

Our goal: Empowering people to lead strong, happy, successful 

lives. This system of work uses quantum physics as its basis. This 

work is incredibly fast, effective and can be permanent! 

If you have experienced accidents, shock, trauma, grief, loss, 

abuse, frustration, etc., your memory fields act as a magnet to 

attract more of the same until cleared. Blocks like these are easily 

removed and replaced with positive attraction. 

Find out how to learn the Geotran “language of all 

possibilities”—the codes that you can quickly use to transform 

any part of yourself, your day, your life and your success. These 

codes are to your brain what an IP address is to your computer. 

Put the right IP address into your computer and access the correct 

items you want. It is the same with your life! Geotran codes can 

help you access what you want quickly! 

We will show you how you affect others and how others affect 

you, along with how to keep yourself clear of negative energy. 

Fast de-stressing techniques will be demonstrated for more peace 

and harmony in your life! 

Most humans use 10-12% of their brain capacity. With 

Geotran, just imagine what you could do using 100% of your 

brain! And, learn to clear your brain of negative patterns, 

addictions and habits as well as depression, learning disorders, 

dyslexia, ADHD, etc. Run a viral scan on your body every 

morning, just as you do on your computer to prevent illness, 

glitches in your day, blocks to your success and so on. 

Geotran integrations help with physical, mental, emotional, 

spiritual, financial and social problems—every area of your life! 

Some integrations help restore self-trust, self-love, self-worth; 

your freedom, choice and correct boundaries. Others help rid 

your body of old beliefs and hurtful past experiences, allowing 

you to move forward in your life and enhancing your ability 

to receive and be blessed. Powerful perception and paradigm 

changes allow for spontaneous healing and life miracles! 

To truly achieve what you want now, align your life and be 

on path with all your goals and dreams using this amazing life 

altering work. Join the workshop to find out how!

Dear Melissa– 

Melissa Frei Answers Your Questions 

Dear Melissa, 

Because of fear and trying to fit in, I tried to blind myself to 

my abilities many years ago. It worked well, though my efforts 

did not block everything out. In doing this, there was always 

something missing; lacking. I just wasn’t happy. About a year 

ago, I decided to accept and embrace my abilities. Once I did, I 

felt an enormous happiness, a knowing that this is what’s been 

missing from my life. However, I still have a block and I can’t 

figure out what it is. I’m feeling an ache, as though something 

is within reach, but I’m not able to touch it. Any advice or sense 

of the direction I need to take or what the block is? 

Thank you so much. 

Looking for My Spirit 

Dear Looking for Spirit, 

Thank you for sharing your story! I can relate to it so much, 

as it hits a familiar cord in my soul. I remember being a 

little girl, seeing spirits, knowing things and having other 

psychic experiences. I shut them off because I did not have 

anyone to help me understand what was happening to me. 

My experiences were so different from everyone else around 

me. With situations like this, it’s common to find ourselves 

feeling separate and apart (different from others) and trying 

to fit in any way we can. In many ways, we conform to what 

others want us to be. 

You are well on your way, so please do not be discouraged. 

I feel that you are breaking down these barriers. Here is an 

exercise that will help: reflect back to different situations in 

your life in which you felt less than, or when you felt that 

you could not be in your power (it wasn’t safe or you weren’t 

supported in being empowered). Start from your earliest 

memory until now. As you look at the different situations 

that come up, consider what you could have done to be 

empowered or to have had a different experience. Doing this 

allows for subtle energy shifts that actually heal the situation 

in your own personal vibration. This will take time, but as 

you do this work, you will break the blocks and be complete 

in your gifts! Stay strong! 

Love, Melissa 

Melissa is available in person, phone or Skype for psychic, 

mediumship, pet readings and more: 505-610-7917. 

www.melissafrei.com 

I feel compassion for you; it sounds like you worked hard to 

shut down and fit in. The times when you turned off your 

gifts, you were doing things that were not in true alignment 

with who you really are. It put you in situations that were 

painful for you. As you slowly started to see the light and 

realize that expressing your gifts was who you truly were, 

your spirit slowly started to awaken. 

You have done a great job in accepting and turning your gifts 

back on. It is such a blessing when we feel confident that we 

are finally walking our paths. Tuning into Spirit Energy is 

such a gift. It’s an amazing transformation in your life, even 

to this point! 

Regarding what the block might be, I feel that you have 

some areas in your life in which you have not fully forgiven 

yourself and others. There is some healing that needs to be 

done —such as with your parents where you would benefit 

from some additional forgiveness work. My sense is that the 

other part of the block is there because you are not allowing 

yourself or giving yourself full permission to be in your 

power and be true to you!

Socially Active, 

Peaceful at Heart 

By Rev. Martha Quintana 

Recently, I was asked how we find balance 

between involvement in political activities 

and living in a peaceful personal world. 

Essentially, how do we stay active in the world and 

peaceful in our hearts? 

Those of us who have been doing our own inner work and who 

have healed have a personal responsibility to our fellow humans 

to be active in the world. We act from who we are. Sometimes 

this activity looks like traditional political campaigning and 

sometimes it looks like visiting a neighbor or helping to clean up 

the neighborhood. Any time we go out in the world and make it a 

better place, we are engaged in “political activity.” Political activity 

is any activity that impacts the community. We don’t have to let 

anyone else’s description of political activity drive our actions. 

The point is that to change our environment in a positive way, 

we act from a sense of love rather than from fear or anger. We 

know in our hearts what we would like our world to look like 

and we let our actions define how we live in the world. Living, 

moving, and having our dreams are essential to a productive 

life. We can’t hole ourselves up in a room and feel like we’ve 

truly lived. True spiritual practice includes our physical world, 

and it’s up to each of us to decide what fits best for our activity. 

Sometimes this means we knock on doors to convince people 

how to vote and other times it means holding someone’s hand in 

their time of need. If we are healthy, we are engaged in our lives 

in a positive way. If we are engaged in our lives positively, we are 

touching other lives. If we are touching other lives positively, we 

have shifted our community in a good way. This shift is bound 

to have a positive impact on the world. We then feel good about 

ourselves and peaceful in our hearts.

A Sincere 

“Thank You!” 

By Rhonda Owen, Perpetual Landscape 

Over the past few months of advertising 

in Truly Alive, I have met and had the 

opportunity to work with (and enjoy) many 

different yards and create several beautiful spaces. I 

am deeply grateful. There is nothing more fulfilling than having 

a vision come true. The visual gratification and satisfaction from 

appreciative customers really keeps me motivated! 

Do you have a shady spot on your 

property that always looks bare…a 

spot where nothing you plant there 

seems to like all that shade? There 

are actually a lot of plants that thrive 

in the shade. Shop around for shade 

plants you like (marked “shade”). Then plant them after the 

worst of the August heat has subsided. Late August and early 

September is the best time for aerating and seeding. Plant fall 

colors such as those found in mums, asters, daisies and pansies. 

Fall is the best time for new plants to be added. More roots 

are developed during the fall season than any other time of the 

year. By planting in the fall, you are giving your newly planted 

trees and shrubs a head start on next year. Also, October is the 

best time for planting spring bulbs. 

New Service: Do you find it a hassle to hang all those 

holiday lights and decorations? Consider Perpetual Landscape 

to do it for you. We’ll save you the time, stress, and bother of 

doing it yourself. 

As a woman landscaper, you may find that I am more meticulous 

and gentle with your project. My team and I will take the time 

to do your project right; communicating with you every step 

of the way. We are hard working, polite and experienced. My 

rates are very reasonable and reflect more my love of this 

work than my desire to get rich doing it. In business for seven 

years, I have many satisfied customers and references. Call me

Fusion Salon is 

Enviro-Friendly 

By Deborah Remington, Owner, Fusion Hair & Skin 

My goal in opening Fusion Hair & Skin 10 

years ago was to provide a comfortable, 

relaxing environment for my clients. My 

new salon was designed to (1) be spacious: (every 

work station has its own section or room) and (2) provide 

products and services that offer as little toxicity as possible. Hair 

coloring is a popular service; we do quite a lot of it actually… 

but Fusion does not offer nail services (which are most often 

highly toxic). That’s just not an acceptable thing for clients of 

Fusion to be exposed to. 

In addition 

to the lowertoxicity 

services we 

provide, I spend 

more to purchase 

and sell lowertoxicity 

products 

as well. Fusion offers a wide variety 

of very high quality, easy on the body 

(and the earth) products. 

With all of the environmental decisions considered, 

combined the spaciousness (and ventilation) of the salon, many 

chemically sensitive clients have found a home at Fusion. They 

are comfortable and feel safe with us. For those who are especially 

sensitive, we schedule appointments at the beginning of the day 

(before any hair coloring or the very rare perm is scheduled) 

or at the end of the day (when everyone with any services that 

could affect the sensitive client have gone and the salon has aired 

out). In this way, we are able to serve a great many clients who 

want stylish, high quality services and environmentally-friendly 

products in a comfortable and safe environment. 

Persistent worry? 

Excessive thinking? 

Irrational fears? 

Memory dulled? 

Change Your Brain: 

Eliminate Stress & Anxiety 

By Regina Coffman 

Energy drained? 

Problems making decisions? 

Inability to concentrate? 

Poor Sleep? 

These are the signs of anxiety — the most common mental 

disorder in the world — one that is often ignored and left 

untreated. Without help, those who wrestle with anxiety or 

stress may find themselves moving into depression, chronic 

pain, fatigue and inability to sleep. Some turn to meds or illicit 

drugs — or addictions like over-eating or alcohol in order to 

achieve temporary peace. 

Stress/Anxiety is an “equal opportunity” affliction: it can 

attack anyone, of any age, at any time. It can show up as panic, 

social phobia, compulsive activities and post-traumatic stress. 

The common denominator is that anxiety is a result of an 

imbalanced brain, and imbalances are due to trauma. It is not 

possible for any of us to go through life without experiencing 

trauma; whether due to the loss of a loved one, physical injury… 

even childbirth or surgery. When trauma occurs, the brain goes 

into survival mode (adjusting frequencies for self-protection). 

Oftentimes, it gets stuck in an unhealthy pattern. All pathologies 

are simply behavior to self-correct a brain imbalance. Brainwave 

Optimization can help! 

I suffered for more than 4 years with a form of anxiety that left 

me feeling as though I was “stuck” in my environment and in life. I 

knew what I was experiencing was irrational and that I should just 

“work through it” or “do it anyway”, as self-help research would 

suggest but I felt blocked. After just two sessions, I experienced 

relief from the debilitating feeling of being “stuck”. Now, after 10 

sessions I feel “released”. I am officially moving forward with my 

life and I couldn’t be happier about it!

Get Support for the 

Healing Process 

By Kerry Leigh, Actualize Your Health! 

Healing (literally meaning to make whole 

{Oxford English Dictionary}) is the process 

of restoring health to an unbalanced/ 

diseased/damaged organism. Healing may be 

psychological or physiological or both. (Wikipedia) 

Recently I’ve been undergoing an intensive healing process. I 

initiated frequent treatments with a variety of practitioners that 

brought me straightaway into “old stuff ”. You know – remnants 

of experiences and feelings that have been both hidden and not so 

hidden in my being – in my experience of living life. I entered this 

process with the usual intention of furthering my connection to 

self and Source. However, these sessions immediately led me into 

the murky depths of “ick”: feelings and memories that have been 

held in my physical, emotional, mental and energetic bodies and 

which ultimately brought on a “healing opportunity”, commonly 

referred to as “being sick”. 

The important part of the story is that I allowed myself the time 

and space to just “be”. As the days progressed, I watched, listened, 

felt, and acknowledged the thoughts, feelings and sensations that 

vented through my being. Not fun or easy; uncomfortable and 

emotional, yet necessary. I held space for 5 days of releasing 

the substance that we’d excavated from the nooks and crannies 

of ME. What originated as energetic, manifested physically as 

various kinds of matter exiting my body. Yuck! Glad and Grateful 

to see it go. 

People with physical ailments are often surprised to discover 

that their pain/disease/dysfunction is intricately linked to emotional 

memories. Even if current life experiences seem “manageable”, 

our bodies are vast storehouses of memories/patterns/ 

unconscious behaviors that are affecting and influencing us. 

Excavating this material is essential to healing…to becoming 

WHOLE. With Core Synchronism, I hold space for your being to 

rediscover/realign/reaffirm with your deepest self. 

Kerry Leigh loves assisting and witnessing the transformation 

process within her clients’ beings and lives. Connecting to our 

Deep Divine Selves, to Spirit and to Nature so that we embody 

the Sacred is what motivates her.

Bowenwork® 

Changes Lives! 

Offered by Hans Levy, PT, LMT #5870 

After 18 years of not being able to eat very 

many foods, I decided to try Bowenwork®. In 

reading about it online, I learned that many people 

with longstanding, chronic issues experience them 

being about 85% relieved after a series of Bowenwork®. 

The morning following my first treatment, I was unable to 

get out of bed, except with great effort to go to the bathroom. 

Friends came over to feed the dog and provide me water and 

food. It was the same inability to move with an enormous pain 

level I had experienced 18 years before. During that time, I 

changed my diet to the highly restrictive one I had been on 

since. Back then, with diet and a few other changes, I was able 

to go back to work after two years of disability. 

The “healing crisis” lifted enough after about 7 hours so I 

was able to care for myself again, but with significant effort. 

Over the next few days, the intense healing crisis symptoms 

returned at various times. My inner guidance said that I could 

significantly reduce my supplements (I had been taking a 

drawer full for 18 years) and that I could now eat a few more 

foods safely. That week, I tried a salad and yogurt. The old 

response (weight gain, bloating, pain and discomfort) was not 

present. My body has a lifelong history of an inability to digest 

carbohydrates and fermented food; even low-carb veggies. 

Since that initial healing crisis week and the introduction of 

these new foods, I have been able to eat salads every day and 

yoghurt about 3-4x week without any issues! This may seem a 

small victory, but to me, it’s huge and I am so grateful! 

If you are suffering from a longstanding chronic issue 

that hasn’t been resolved any other way, I highly recommend 

Bowenwork®. What do you have to lose?

Celebrate December 21, 2012 

in Ceremony at Chaco Canyon 

By Phaeryn Sheehan, Ascended Masters Foundation 

Don’t miss our momentous, once in lifetime celebration of this year’s Winter Solstice on December 

21st. Ceremony to be held at Chaco Canyon. Contact Marshall Estner at: 505-243-6579. 

on December 21st, a rare and magnificent 

astrological alignment will occur on our earth; an 

At11:11am 

alignment that hasn’t happened for 26,000 years. 

Ever so many Teachers and Shamans of the Hopi and especially 

the Maya Traditions have given us profound insights into 

the meaning and significance of this day. 

Regardless of how we are 

digesting these prophesies, what 

is ultimately true (I suggest), is 

the enormous Shift that these 

prophesies point to. It is a far greater 

Happening than we humans can 

possibly imagine unfolding in our 

time. And because we humans 

tend to respond fearfully to what 

we don’t understand and can’t 

control, there is a very strong 

negative mindset in our present 

day collective consciousness about 

it all. And with it, an anticipation 

Sunrise at Chaco Canyon 

of a doomsday–type scenario is 

anticipated. 

When we humans lived a far more indigenous life, 

prophesies would motivate us to synergize with Spirited 

Reality by doing sacred ceremony. The Numinous power that 

radiated through every tree, stream, cloud, stone and human 

being was what we turned to in sacred ceremony in order to 

survive. 

Today we have lost that wisdom and are desperately 

needing to return to that consciousness so that we don’t have 

to fear what the Heavens and the Earth are doing. If we do, we 

will remember that we can be one with the shifts rather than 

be in a state of separation—in fear. 

We of the Ascended Masters Foundation were founded 

by Ascended Consciousness in 1987 to provide channeled 

messages and divine healings so that all of us could (and 

especially now, can) consciously transition from the Old Ways 

of living (from a state of disconnection, fear and struggle) into 

a New World where pure divine love is in charge of reuniting 

all earthly manifestations back into Oneness and ‘beyond 

believable possibility.’ 

All of our Spiritual Communities’ programs are geared 

to, not only help us physically survive earthly disasters, but 

remember the Principle and Practices of Spiritual Warriorship 

that evolve us into higher and more refined vibrations of cocreative 

love with the Divine.’ 

We welcome you to take advantage of as many of our 

‘2012 and Beyond Spiritual Program’ offerings as you can. 

Participating in sacred ceremony powerfully restores our lost 

relationship with our Mother Earth.

The More You Know About Our Meat the 

Better: The 5-Step Animal Welfare Rating 

From Whole Foods Market resources 

Animal Welfare: We’re dedicated to helping you make informed 

choices about the food you eat. It’s often easy to forget that the 

burger, steak or drumstick on your plate was once an animal. 

How was that animal raised? How was it treated? Where did 

it come from? What did it eat? What about added hormones 

and antibiotics? Was its growth artificially accelerated to get to 

market sooner and reduce feed cost? 

We can answer these questions because we’ve chosen to 

partner with the Global Animal Partnership to certify our 

producers’ animal welfare practices. We’re rolling out their 

5-Step Animal Welfare Rating in every Whole Foods Market 

store in the United States. 

The 5-Step Animal Welfare Rating: We are partnering 

with the Global Animal Partnership to encourage better animal 

welfare practices. In fact, Whole Foods Market is leading the 

industry in animal welfare! 

The Global Animal Partnership is a non-profit organization 

dedicated to continually improving the lives of farm animals 

raised for meat. They have developed the 5-Step Animal Welfare 

Rating that rates how pigs, chickens and cattle are raised. 

Ratings for other species (turkeys, lamb, and others) are in 

development, so stay tuned. 

Throughout our meat department you’ll find chicken, beef 

and pork labeled with the Global Animal Partnership 5-Step 

Animal Welfare Rating.** It’s your way of knowing exactly how 

the animals were raised for the meat you are buying. We have 

made it easier for you to identify the steps with simple color 

coding. You will not find any chicken, beef or pork with a red 

label in Whole Foods Market meat cases. 

Look for this rating system when you choose our beef, pork or 

chicken at Whole Foods Market. It’s your way of knowing how 

the animals were raised for the meat you are buying. 

Step 1: No crates, no cages, no crowding 

Like people, animals need a little “personal space” to be 

comfortable. 

Step 2: Enriched environment 

It’s the simple things that keep animals active and engaged — 

like a bale of straw for chickens to hide behind and climb on, a 

bowling ball for pigs to manipulate and shove around, or a few 

sturdy objects for cattle to rub against when they need a good 

scratch. 

Step 3: Enhanced outdoor access 

Pigs and chickens still live in buildings but they all — yes, each 

and every one of them — have access to outdoor areas where 

they can catch a few rays. 

Step 4: Pasture centered 

Chickens need to forage, pigs need to wallow and cattle need 

to roam. They can do all of these things when they live outdoors 

and have shelter — and of course, a view!

Step 5: Animal centered; all physical alterations prohibited 

Animals get to live their lives with all the parts they were born 

with, and nothing else! No nose rings, no clipping, no snipping 

and no branding. 

Step 5+: Animal centered; entire life on same farm 

Animals are born and live their entire lives on one farm. Pigs and 

cattle are slaughtered on the farm, and chickens are transported 

only short distances (because you can’t herd chickens!).

Welfare Rating. For more detailed information on each Step,

Home Ownership Now – Easier Than 

You Think! 

By Nancy Bowers, Realtor®, Solution Specialist 

a lie we have all told ourselves at one time or 

another: things will be good when… (fill in the 

Itis 

blank). But now is the only time there is. It’s folly 

to delay our lives for some future moment when we get 

around to whatever is tugging at our heartstrings. I see this 

every day in real estate: folks waiting for a greater sense of 

security (because maybe the bottom hasn’t finished falling 

out of the market) before they finally start working on the 

dream of home ownership. Perhaps they suspect they need 

to improve their credit but are afraid to look at the score— 

embarrassed by the stint of unemployment or health 

issues or whatever has tarnished their perhaps once stellar 

credit. This scenario reflects so many people’s current life 

circumstances right now. 

Part of my job is to help people look at the possibilities; 

because until you look you can’t do anything about it. 

Sometimes, it’s simply that potential homebuyers think they 

have to save up boatloads of money to be able to afford a 

home. Yet many people’s income levels qualify them for 

assistance through the NMMFA, allowing them to finance a 

house with as little as $500 down. Anyone who hasn’t owned 

a home in the last three years is considered a first time 

homebuyer and can purchase a home for 3.5% down (or 

less through MFA). We also work to help folks repair their 

credit. Some of my clients are buying properties with owner 

financing… some of them are doing rent-to-own. The point 

is that far too many of the people I talk with are waiting to 

get started because they don’t realize that the only place they 

can start from is where they are right now. That mythical 

perfect time in the future will always be in the future until 

they are willing to put aside their fear and see what needs to 

be done to get them where they want to be. 

It takes some work. It’s takes commitment. The real 

question is, “do you want to own a home enough to make 

the effort?” Your circumstances may not be perfect but so 

what! Mortgage rates are at historic lows, the availability 

of affordable houses is still good (although inventory is 

shrinking) and in so many cases, your tax-deductible 

mortgage is less than what you are currently paying for rent. 

What are you waiting for?

dreams come true.

Astrological Forecast: Sept/Oct 

John Clinton | Psychic Astrologer | 505-489-1122 

30+ Years Experience Interpreting Stellar Events | Starcaster333@ yahoo.com 

Aries (3/21-4/19) SEPTEMBER, not only has the 

best light for photography, it also casts light in a more 

serious mode. It’s harvest time as all life knows. You 

are blessed with perfect stellar alignments this month. 

There is a call for playfulness and a search for passion and meaning 

to life. Blend all that together and you have your personal movie 

of a romp through the park on a beautiful day until you collapse 

into a pile of very wise ashes. Watch for minor upsets. OCTOBER 

has you finishing up things. Mars wants to do something more 

mind-broadening by the end of the first week. It becomes a time 

to travel or study. You become drawn to churches. It shows you 

have a need for a deeper meaning to life. If the warrior must die, 

he wants to know why, and even a lie is there to deny the truth and 

defy the logic. In other words, make sure you’re not brainwashed 

into doing something you know is wrong this month. 

Taurus (4/20-5/20) SEPTEMBER could be a 

month to remember. Your earthy nature is lulled into 

a very sensuous mood as nature sets the perfect world 

for you. Love starts at home as you learn after the 6th. 

Home is also our core self which consists of spiritual matter. The 

troubles of the first 10 days of this month will be worked out on 

and after, the 13th. Things build to the 20th where you will be 

in a festive mood. Some of you nature lovers will make a levelchange 

in your relationship. Your partner is all “manic” this whole 

month. You have the energy to keep up. Just pace yourself. OC- 

TOBER promises a softer more relaxing kind of romance. Venus 

(the planet of love) stays in your house of love almost all month 

long. There’s a minor crisis at home to start the month and a few 

adjustments are needed during the month, but mostly love floats 

you over, under, around, and through the small stuff. There is good 

news for the world on the 10th and that ties into your future plans. 

Your partner will play a vital role in this success. There is even a 

chance to dramatically improve your health from what you learn 

around the 8th. 

Gemini (5/21-6/21) SEPTEMBER is a good 

month for homework especially for students and 

homeowners. The 4th and 5th have enough excitement 

to rock your day and night. A lot can get done in a 22 

hour period starting at noon on the 4th. You can wind up the 

hard work on the 16th as the 2nd half of the month is for fun, 

creativity, relaxation, romance, children, and all the pleasures of 

life. Speaking of pleasure, OMG, Pluto goes direct in your 8th 

house. Love can be a little spooky and spooky things could be 

what you love. This event on the 18th could bring a closure for 

you. OCTOBER is usually pleasant and romantic for the Twins. 

This year, the month involves a focus on work and health. At least 

Mercury isn’t retrograde so you are able to get a lot done. The 

month ends with the promise of festive gatherings. You get to be 

a kid again for Halloween and a few weeks into November. Many 

of your Sign are moving away from a loss in your life. There are 

bright vistas ahead. Keep moving toward the light, away from the 

shadows. You will be well-stimulated by the changes around you 

this month. 

Cancer (6/22-7/22) SEPTEMBER is always a time 

to remember as summer begins to wind down and 

the Crabs join others in making some cold weather 

preparations. You begin the month by shaking off the 

confusion from last month. Was it love, or was it another illusion? 

You can do some thinking and analyzing this month. Answers will 

come by the 15th. A good “balance” is required the last two weeks. 

You will do your best thinking at home. A lost partner could 

return after the 18th. Upsets on the 29th call for new beginnings. 

OCTOBER fills you with gusto. It’s not just leaves changing colors 

or Halloween; it’s a feeling to your core. Ah, nothing is better to 

a Cancer than to feel deep emotions. Your love life and creative 

energy has been cooking on high. Try to keep that high energy 

level going after the first weekend. Things, like mundane chores, 

will need that energy the rest of the month. Some Crabs will be 

taking on leadership roles at work. Others may begin new health 

regimens. After the 15th, is a time to focus on the home and 

hearth. 

Leo (7/23-8/22) SEPTEMBER gives the Lions a 

softly dramatic appearance. Any Leo who hasn’t 

slipped into the tyrant stage is always someone to 

love. You watch, in your countenance all that happens 

around you. The planets move round your Sun ruler and they 

bring movies to your senses and that makes them real. This 

time it’s a movie about love which opens on the 6th. There are 

shocking episodes for you to see during the 18th-29th. The 29th 

is definitely adventurous if you allow that energy into your life. 

Way to roar, Lion Clan! OCTOBER is usually a time of socializing 

and partnership focus for Leos. There is a strong energy for 

romantic entanglements, or if married, a good time to be creative. 

The Leo mind is interesting. They can stalk their prey with such 

stealth and apparent lack of interest until their victim sees only a 

gleam in their eye as they pounce. It’s fun. We all like it. The 9th 

brings good fortune. Constructive changes involve your home. 

These should be completed by the 25th. Don’t overdo eating the 

Halloween candy and any changes will be good ones 

Virgo (8/23-9/22) SEPTEMBER brings a feeling of 

wholeness as your mind is working sharply. You win 

at any game of intellect for the first two weeks. Your 

birthday is always a time of feeling strong, physically, 

for the majority of Virgoans. Those of you born during the last 10 

days of Virgo are about to make new beginnings in self-esteem 

and finances after the 15th. Throughout the fall season, you 

will, in general, have a pretty amazing time with great successes. 

This applies to all the Virgins. It’s just easier for some. During 

OCTOBER, your mind is on travel, but your energy needs to 

work on the house. Maybe the house can wait, but your Sign is so 

responsibly conscientious. Try to take a little trip, at least. There 

is a higher frequency of undiscovered planetary energy which is 


calling you from a secret place in your life (even you may not know 

what that means until it unfolds). And then, we cannot forget the 

physical passion in the life of a Virgo. You find the human touch 

to be very transformative. Watch for deception on the full Moon 

of the 29th 

Libra (9/23-10/22) SEPTEMBER is the keeper of 

the fall equinox which is the beginning of your Sign. 

This year it falls on the 22nd at 9:00 am MDT. On a 

Saturday at that. These are obviously good signs for 

a good fall. Oh sure, there could be acts of violence after midmonth, 

but don’t worry. The proper authorities will do the job just 

fine for you. The full Moon on the 29th brings out both, the beauty 

and the beasts. Sometimes, it’s up to the Librans to restore beauty 

where there is grayness. OCTOBER brings Libran birthdays and 

cooler nights. You seem to spend half the month waiting for 

something new to arrive. Finally, near mid-month, it arrives. 

Is it what you expected? Yes! Now for the other news: A more 

conservative spending approach, approaches. Saturn is reflecting 

the lessons about money in your life. Over, the next 2 years, you 

will notice it don’t come easy. However, a logical and persevering 

attitude will yield even more success during that time. The only 

question is, can you do the discipline required? The month has a 

happy ending. 

Scorpio (10/23-11/21) SEPTEMBER is a time 

to buckle up even if you’re not in a car. The 19th is 

the peak of astronomical tension. It’s a power struggle 

within and outside of us. As the people rise up to 

challenge their power obsessed leaders, so too, it feels like there’s 

an inner revolution of mind-changing proportions. You are alive 

with new inspirations which bring new actions all month. Labor 

Day is your best day of the month for constructive projects. 

Your mind is so strong that you might be able to levitate things. 

OCTOBER continues that mental reconstruction. Let’s hope the 

labor on your brain is union paid. Union could be a big word this 

month as Mars transits your Sign. Your libido is activated as you 

shred your wall paper. Half of the Scorps. will turn that energy 

into productive procurement of security needs. Other Scorps 

will continue unabated. Sure these are serious times as elections 

approach, but you will not be divided by politics. You can only 

be divided by two or united as one. Someone will support the 

changes you seek by month’s end. 

Sagittarius (11/22-12/21) SEPTEMBER can 

sometimes mean hard times at work, but that’s what 

you feel like doing anyway. The truly independent 

Archers can use the first three weeks to further their 

careers. The 7th is time to stand for inspection or anything that 

requires complete readiness and perfection. Finally, the 18th 

signals the end of Pluto retrograde. Drive your staff into the 

ground that day to mark the beginning of seven straight months 

of financial progress. Your partner is happy. All is well. OCTOBER 

creates relationship concerns. You will be successful in any legal 

matters because you will have wise counsel and sneaky tactics. 

Venus promises moderate income increases this month. Be 

grateful, of course. Friends hold the flashlight and they have lots 

to show you until you retreat to your own thoughts after the 22nd 

for 30 days. You won’t be drawn out to play, because you need 

your own space, now. Your only difficulty is being too honest, and 

getting that partner to talk more. Go within as well. Maybe, you 

will bump into each other in your subconscious minds. 

Capricorn (12/22-1/19) SEPTEMBER opens 

with the Seagoats preparing for great success. While 

everyone else is distracted by rumors of the world 

ending, you can begin sliding your money-making 

project down the launching ramp. The sea you are headed 

toward is choppy and filled with unseen life forms. Still, it will 

be the launching of your career efforts into the black (sea). Do 

your publicity this month before you shock the world with 

the magnificence of your manifestation next month. Play the 

drama card. In OCTOBER your world will change. Some of the 

conservative-minded goats may actually transform their ideals. 

Some of your Sign will move. Some will start making money 

from their careers. Anything that changes your life is possible 

this month. Mid-October shows a new beginning with your 

career. This fits in with a deep yearning for a new connection with 

something beautiful. The 10th is a day to dream and the 25th is a 

day to make it real. You can dance merrily into the full Moon on 

the 29th, and Halloween has this same exuberance. 

Aquarius (1/20-2/18) SEPTEMBER is a lively 

month…one that varies in every way. Your energy 

often seems unavailable. But just when everyone 

seemingly abandons you, they miss the resurgence 

of your awesome recuperative powers. You will need to find a 

balance in your life over the next 6 years. You can’t do so much 

as your mind would like without taking into account your body’s 

actual abilities. Study some metaphysical matters this month. 

These can surprisingly, become a part of your life philosophy 

by month’s end. Don’t be part of the problem around the 19th. 

A push against power pushes back. OCTOBER is a time of 

reflection as you look within to be in touch with your core self. 

It’s hard enough for an Aquarian to acknowledge “self ”, but now 

you come face to face with your self. So, are you going to spend 

the month contemplating your navel, NO! There are happenings 

all around you. There are mostly great aspects for your Sign all 

month long. On, and after the 15th, you will need a physical 

outlet for your super charged condition. This state-of-being will 

last for 30 days. Try not to skip healthy meals. There are natural 

“chill pills” available. 

Pisces (2/19-3/20) September continues like 

a vortex down the rabbit’s hole. It’s not exactly 

wonderland this month, but you might wonder what 

land this is. You see the suffering, you hear the cries 

of the needy, and you hurt for all that is wrong in this world. 

Neptune and Jupiter are helping you to think and know on a 

psychic level what is right. You see the violence this month and 

you know it isn’t right. You cannot sway from your convictions 

about humanity without a stiff, karmic reminder. OCTOBER is 

another month to show the world how humans should be: very 

aware and kind. You are being more withdrawn than normal. It’s 

hard to keep the mind on business when there is such value in 

those inner journeys. It’s not the same as spacing out. Here you 

find answers that can actually be applied to your life. Though 

there have been slow downs at work and some cut backs, you are 

very strong-minded and there is love this month. At mid-month 

while socializing, you will have a magic encounter
