help? could you explain? The Christian choice to commit to a life-long path of service and self-sacrifice…?

Posted by admin on May 30, 2010 under Self Help

The Christian choice to commit to a life-long path of service and self-sacrifice occurs within an existential horizon of meaning charged with the promise of a new self - transformed into the image of the Son of God and a new world that reflects God’s glory.

could you explain? and perhaps give your opinion?

All people have a choice in life. They can be a servant of God, or a servant of Satan. There is no straddling the fence. When a person has heard the gospel and believes that Jesus is the son of God, and that he died for our sins, it brings about godly sorrow. They choose to repent (turn away from their sins) confess Jesus’ name before men then are baptized for the remission of sin (sins blotted out). They rise from their baptism a new creature, and will faithfully serve God for the remainder of their lives. It does require self sacrifice. It requires them to put other above them. It is not easy but it is worth it. To have that hope of eternal life in heaven, where is is no sin, no crying, no heartache or grief. It is much better than eternal torment in hell. There are so many lost souls and God wants them all to come to the knowledge of understanding, that is where the work of a Christian comes in. I have lived both lives. One as an alien sinner and now as a Christian. I prefer being a Christian. I know that if I make a mistake and sin, Jesus’ blood covers me when I repent and pray for God’s forgiveness.

Can anyone suggest an alternative, naturopathic, or holistic approach to healing arthritis?

Posted by admin on May 24, 2010 under Holistic Healing

I was diagnosed with arthritis yesterday and cannot see myself taking pain pills for the rest of my life.I hate feeling out of control, sleepy, and sedated from the pain medications and muscle relaxers. I am also concered that I will end up with a toxic liver from the tylenol in the pain medications. So I am looking for an all natural, holistic, or alternative method of relieving arthritis pain please.
I forgot to mention that I am totally Vegan due to digestive problems and food allergies so please due not recommend anything non-Vegan like Codliver oil, fish oil, Omega 3 Fatty Acids or to eat more fish. Thanks a million!

Try flaxseed oil….it has omega 3, omega 6 and omega 9, vitamins A, C, E, B2, B6, pantothenic Acid, B12, biotin and minerals Calcium, Magnesium, Potassium, and Zinc. My mother suffers from arthritis and the pain in her hip vanishes in around 20 minutes after taking the flaxseed oil. Product on second link below:

Sometimes self-help means asking for help from others.

What natural allergy remedies are there?

Posted by admin on May 21, 2010 under Natural Remedies

I am looking for some alternative natural remedies for allergies. Lorratadine works for me but I don’t want to keep taking tablets. I already do the washing hands, changing clothes and rinsing face things. Are there any foods or supplements that would help?

we and this "infernal " problem…
I know it gets on every body’s nerves… but unfortunately the only way to get ride off chemical drugs is to get ride of the causes of your kind of allergy itself!

some points to be cautioned of though are :

1-Try to expose your bedroom to sun and fresh air.keep your room dry.

2-do not get any pet with you at home.

3 - Wear dusts masks.

4- Do not leave your old books in your bed room.

5- Sponge pillow is better than cotton,and polestar is better than sponge..

6- Try breathing steam from hot water.and of courseot water.

ofcourse there are other alternitive remedies and herbal medicens…but they take long time to show thier action …+ they need complicated structure…adding one tea spoon of ginger and one spoon of honey into boiled water,could be usfull to reduce the sneezing and calm down the irritation in your nasal passeges.

-well at the end that seems as a list of punishment though !

My Pyramid: Simple Steps for Healthy Living
Describe the elements that make up MyPyramid.

Don’t know exactly what you mean by your pyramid, lol, but a great way to lose weight is to eat a healthy balanced diet and exercise 30 minutes a day, or at least 3 times / week. Staying away from fast food and junk foods and eating more fruits and veggies will help slim your waist line. Also, consulting a nutritionist will help create a meal plan that is the best for you.

Here’s some of my favorite items to purchase at the store:
green leaf lettuce, bananas, baby carrots, any other fruits or veggies that are on sale, low fat cheese, eggs, (lots of eggs, i mostly eat just the whites), kefir, low fat yogurt, cottage cheese, milled flax seed, skim milk, corn flakes, granola, vegetable juice, canned tuna, 100% whole wheat bread, lean beef, turkey, pork, and fish (when I really wanna spoil myself I’ll pick up a salmon fillet and bake it mmmm)

You can check comprehensive fitness DVD programs or ebooks / magazines on healthy diets on sites like http://bodytrainings.com/ . Information is power, so use it wisely! Sport can be fun when you’re doing a dance routine for example (see Ministry Of Sound – Pump It Up) or learning belly dancing. Or maybe yoga or stretching… Tons of possibilities :)

Cheers and stay strong! I know losing weight can be tough!
