What is Colostrum? Colostrum is the pre-milk fluid produced from the mother's mammary glands during the first 72 hours after birth. It provides life-supporting immune and growth factors that insure the health and vitality of the newborn. Why do we need Colostrum? As we age, we notice it takes us a little longer to fight off a cold or flu, we become more vulnerable to disease, our energy and enthusiasm lessen, our skin loses its elasticity, we gain unwanted weight and lose muscle tone. After maturity, we gradually lose the immune and growth factors in our body. This forces us to search for anti-aging and health products and knowledge. We've looked to plants and minerals for an answer, isolating and mega dosing on vitamins and minerals. Aging, illness and death occur with the loss of immune and growth factors in our bodies. Medical science has shown in many published reports worldwide that these can possibly be replaced in the human body with bovine colostrum. Bovine colos...

1) Probably the most important thing you can do as a Christian leader is to clean up your act. If there is anything in your life, moral or ethical, which would not stand up to scrutiny if the entire world found out, you must eliminate it immediately. Do not give anyone an occasion to think that you are a hypocrite. 2) Be sure that every decision you make is honest and ethical. You cannot effectively lead, as a Christian or not, when your decisions and actions are not above board, fair, and honest. 3) As a Christian leader, commit to telling the truth no matter what. As a Christian leader, when you lie or tell half truths, people tend to feel that your entire faith is a sham. In fact, if you are habitually lying and telling half truths, your faith may indeed be a sham. 4) Learn everything you can about the tasks at hand, even if it means working in the trenches for awhile. No one likes to be led by someone who has never done what they are doing. This doesn't mean you ha...

There are seven recommended health screening tests that all men should consider having run in the interest of their own good health and long life. All seven tests may not apply to all men. Four of these tests, however, do apply to all men at different ages. Health Screening Tests for Cholesterol Most men just don't believe they have High Cholesterol and don't take the time to have it checked. If at all possible, you should request a more advanced lipid test for LDL particle size and type. For most men, you should have your cholesterol checked every 5 years starting at 35. However, if you smoke, have diabetes, or if heart disease runs in your family, you need to start testing at the early age of 20.

Do you know how powerful your thoughts really are? Are you fully aware that these thoughts, all 50,000 per day, are singularly the most powerful influences on everything that happens to you in your life and are the reson you have attracted the people you know, the house you live in and the car you drive? In fact the sum total of everyone's thoughts is the very thing that shapes everything that exists, everything that has existed, and everything that will ever exist. You may ask then "if this is true then shouldn't it be possible to bring into existence anything we desire?" Well the short simple answer is YES! The First ingredient is through. The power of deliberate thought that we can create. While thought alone does have the power to bring tangible (cars, houses, boats) and intangible (peace, harmony and joy) things into existence often times this is not enough!  Intention, or directed thinking and believing, is enough to create powerful enough thoughts to ...

Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. "If you love what you are doing, you will be successful." Albert Schweitzer (1875 - 1965) We are busier than we have ever been, working long hours and feeling under more and more pressure. How do you spend your days? For many people work and pleasure are seen as separate, with work being a chore that has to be done to pay the bills. It doesn't always have to be like that. Although we don't have to love everything we do, we do need to gain some enjoyment from most of what we do. Take a moment to see if it is time to start afresh and do something you love, something that adds the pleasure factor back into your working life? Think about what matters to you and why you do the things you do. For each person that means something different. What aspects of a job are important to you? List them. Think about your dream job. Does it motivate and inspire you? If not, think again. It has to mean somethi...

Meditation is a state of being focused on a certain thought and involves the quieting of the mind as you concentrate inwardly, resulting in a more relaxed and calm feeling.  This relaxation technique can help a person develop his personality through mental discipline as well as encourage his/her spiritual well-being by communing with God. Usually associated with some ancient eastern religions dating back several centuries, meditation has been assimilated in western culture via spiritual practices and medical therapies which focus on different kinds of healing with the help of the mind and inner energy. According to Dr. Borysenko, author of 'Minding the Body, Mending the Mind',through meditation, we learn to access the relaxation response (the physiological response elicited by meditation) and we become more aware of the mind and the way our attitude produces stress. He believes that through meditation, one can also get in touch with the inner physician and allow the b...

Holistic healthcare by definition is being able to cure an illness through the use of alternative means. This means no pharmaceutical medication is given to the patient and an instrument like a bunch of needles could do the trick. Acupuncture has been around for more than 2000 years. It is only recently that this holistic form of healthcare has reached the U.S. (1972). Studies have shown that it can treat minor problems and prevent some from happening. The needles used in acupuncture are very thin but thicker than the human hair. This makes it smaller than those used on hypodermic needles. Most patients that undergo acupuncture will not feel any significant change after one session which is why a few sessions are needed. Best of all, it is painless so your body will not feel sore afterwards. Several studies have been conducted about acupuncture and there have been positive results. For instance in the UK, 400 participants who were suffering from migraines claimed they felt ...

It's time to start a Healthy life: How many times have you gone to sleep at night, swearing you'll go to the gym in the morning, and then changing your mind just eight hours later because when you get up, you don't feel like exercising? While this can happen to the best of us, it doesn't mean you should drop the ball altogether when it comes to staying fit. What people need to realize is that staying active and eating right are critical for long-term health and wellness and that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. The more you know about how your body responds to your lifestyle choices, the better you can customize a nutrition and exercise plan that is right for you.

This translates to burning fat more efficiently for energy. In other words, proper eating habits plus e...

Alternative medicine has been gaining in both popularity and acceptance in recent years. Many cities now have a plethora of shops where a person interested in buying alternative medicines can go to find whatever they are seeking, in addition to being able to take advantage of many alternative medicine services at local practitioners offices. Alternative medicine is simply a way of referencing a type of treatment that is not officially recognized by the medical establishment as a relief or cure. There are literally thousands of practices that fall under this category, and most people would be surprised to find some of the items that either are or were once considered to be against the grain, or categorized as alternative medicine. There are also practices or procedures that were once considered traditional western medicine that are now alternative medicine. Not too far back in medical history, doctors did not wash their hands while helping a woman through child labor. The result...

Exercise equipment is usually a hot item especially just after the new year. Guilt and hope for the future often prompt newbie exercisers to spend huge amounts of money on equipment they probably will not use longer than 6 months.

In this time where everyone is worried about their health and the health of loved ones, I wanted to put this out there. People are upset that they are unable to attend service. So much is going on, going wrong in the world. Much prayer is needed.

The amount of physical exercise that you exert during the day is one of the key ingredients to helping you get a good sleep at night. The more active your body is during the day, the more likely you are to relax at night and fall asleep faster.

Research and studies indicate that there is a direct correlation between how much we exercise and how we feel afterwards. You should try and increase your physical activity during the day. The goal here is to give your body enough stimulation during the day so that you aren't full of energy at night.   Your body requires a certain amount of physical  activity in order to keep functioning in a healthy manner. It is also importa...

We all know that we need oxygen to live. In fact, oxygen is what we euphemistically call “the breath of life.” But research has now established an astounding fact. The very thing that keeps us alive is the very same thing that’s killing us. Are you properly shocked now? Oxidation is the process by which we are continuously burning calories to produce energy for our cells to use in order to function. It is a necessary process and it is life-giving. However, scientists have now proved that this very process that enables us to live also releases dangerous and highly active molecules known as free radicals. Free radicals are the pervading cause of cell damage. They attack other cells, the cell walls, and genetic material within. Over a long period, such damage can become irreversible, leading to chronic diseases such as cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, rheumatoid arthritis, atherosclerosis, and other diseases associated with aging. The one thing that can st...
