Facing Sun Effects
A secret has been revealed in the news over the past few weeks. I was a part of that secret. What was the secret you ask? Men are now using skin care products as a part of their daily activities!
I started a few months ago due to something I learned about myself. I had my picture taken. Not just a standard picture. I had my picture taken with a special ultraviolet camera and light that shows damaged skin due to excessive sun exposure. First they took a picture of my face with standard light. Although not a flattering picture, it looked like I expected. Then they took a picture of my face with the ultraviolet light. What did I look like? I looked like I had a face FULL of freckles. Only these freckles weren’t the cute ones that would have showed up in the first picture. They showed that I have a significant amount of sun damage. I guess my early years of working and playing outside all summer long with little or no sun protection is catching up with me.
It is common knowledge that sun damaged skin will cause premature signs of aging skin (wrinkling, “leathery” appearance and feel, etc.) as well as being a cause of skin cancer. So, I decided to do something about it. One of those things is to take better care of my skin. I am using skin care products that have a sunscreen built in. These same products also contain enzymes that can help speed cell renewal in sun damaged skin.
Yes, the secret is out. I am using skin care products every day. My wife says my complexion is also better because of it. I look forward to having my picture taken in the future. Maybe my complexion isn’t the only thing that is improving.

Facing Sun Effect by Roger Carr
Preventive Medicine – Ayurveda
It should not be hard for anyone to imagine that man sought medicine to maintain life and gain knowledge since the time of his being pre-hominid and eating plants while learning which ones killed him. Your puppy or kitten will show this when it goes outside for the first time and eats grass to help its gastrointestinal processes. The Therapeutae of Pythagoras who some say developed the pentagram were learning from far more ancient insights that were being lost and we have lost a lot of the knowledge of healing he had in his chanting or ‘Singing of the Spheres’.
Ayurveda includes the use of herbs and plants combined with psychic arts of a healing nature. The proper practitioner includes psychology as part of the diagnosis and getting the patient to use their own mental or soulful energy. It comes from very ancient shamanism and has many names for its practice. This art is called ayurveda in India, and it has Taoist and Yogic corollaries.
When I lived in Vegas I grew Aloe Vera, and its Vitamin E may be part of why it works to heal so many things. Comfrey tea is something my brother took to help a broken leg that wasn’t healing in the traditional medical approach. There are many ways to enhance the immune system along with our natural ability to heal and help each other. ‘Cleansing’ auras or meridians of ‘Chhi’ or pranha, positive visualization and what is sometimes deemed wholistics have been available for longer than books or politicians were practicing their questionable arts. The ancient priests and shamans who were corruptible became even more so as this knowledge grew. The Inca’s ‘magic’ and healing may have been one of the best balances of knowledge and compassion ever exercised on behalf of every citizen.
Can you honestly say you trust the future of gene therapy and near immortality to our current system? Do you want more transparency or honesty? Shouldn’t we all become ‘informed consumers’ and have alternatives considered when they make sense? Much of what Western doctors learn about anatomy and diseases is easily input and reacted to by modern computer and diagnostic tools. Can you imagine them ever putting these things in the public forum and trying to engage us all in honest dialogue that might diminish their power, money and influence? In China you don’t pay the doctor when you are sick and preventive medicine is the rule. Bill and Hillary Clinton tried to emphasize ‘preventive medicine’ and ran into the same kind of lobbying that George Bush and Dan Quayle saw when they ran with a commitment to institute ‘tort reform’ in the legal system.
The idea that a fully diluted homeopathic tincture might heal through some imprint left by Cyanide found in peach pits or laetrile is just one of the conundrums that science still struggles to face. But the fact is cyanide kills cells and results have been achieved by some people who might have attuned themselves with that small amount of Cyanide that Japanese researchers found in peach pits after the US researchers said there was no possible agent that could kill cancer cells in peach pits. The implications of this extend to genetic rituals that modern science cannot see the effects of, and other energy lattice memory or Intelligence.
There are forces in society which seek to keep certain knowledge hidden or what one might term ‘occulted’. We do need to learn to stop these shelving efforts that would rather have a monopoly and power before seeing all mankind capable of greater things.

The Miraculous Tape Worm Diet Pill
The Miraculous Tape Worm Diet Pill and the Fabulous All Chocolate Weight Loss Plan
This article is a joke, ok? Just want to make sure you don’t take me wrong! Gotta keep your trust for my serious articles… 
It’s amazing that it took medical science this long to put it together.
The Western world has known ever since we first landed in the tropics about how effective tape worms can be for losing weight. And we’ve tried so many diet pills that didn’t work.
What took physicians so long to realize that a tape worm diet pill was the best way to harness nature’s power to fight the unstoppable food cravings she gave us?
Tape Worm Diet Pills in History
Historians tell us that the early explorers who witnessed the power of the tape worm diet in 18th century Mexico were so fit and svelte, they simply considered it an uncivilized oddity. In fact, the famous Portuguese mountaineer and sea explorer, Gustavo DeMenthes (1732-1782?), wrote in his Jornal do Partido, “These unfortunate indians not only cannot read or write, but they spend most of the day trying to convince us to eat their strange bread recipe called ‘Oreos’.”
Historians are divided on the ultimate fate of DeMenthes, though rumor has it (according to his first mate) that he smuggled a large stash of Oreos back to Portugal, and went mad when he ran out. It is a matter of public record that he was once thrown in jail about 6 months after returning to Portugal. The record shows that the original charge of ‘Attempting to Steal His Majesty’s Frigate’ was dropped and changed to ‘Public Intoxication’. He soon after disappeared altogether from Portugal.
The Tape Worm Diet Pill in Late 19th Century New York Modern historians think it more than a coincidence that the man who introduced the tape worm diet pill to the United States came from Mexico and was named Henriques Dimintio. He probably was DeMenthes’ great great grandson. Dimintio traveled all the way to New York City to make a fortune off his ‘Oreos’. He met a young, energetic French baker named John Nabis, who loved the cookie and thought it had Great Market Potential.
Then Dimintio explained how Oreos went perfectly with his traditional tape worm diet pill. Nabis wouldn’t hear of it- he didn’t care if people got fat, he wasn’t going to sell worms and food to them at the same time! The two new friends had already a lot of Mexican tequila, so the argument quickly became a scuffle. Result: 12 crushed oreos, 105 dead tape worms, and 2 estranged business partners.
Nabis stole the Oreo idea, and his company, Nabisco, is still going strong. He got his due, though… As you can see in their official ‘history’, Nabis gets no credit whatsoever for his company, or Demintio’s cookie – in fact they will deny that there ever was a John Nabis involved. Call them and see!
Dimintio subsequently tried to convince two more baker/entrepreneurs to merge cookies and tape worms, but they brushed him off. He became depressed. We have a record of him at Mt. Sinai, New York City’s oldest hospital, where he received water bath therapy, which was all modern medicine had for depression in the late 1800′s. Local history in his hometown in Mexico has it that he returned home to his wife and family to bake cookies during the day and play sad Mariachi songs at night.
Rampant Obesity in the 20th and 21st Century By the end of the 20th century, it was clear that Demintio had been way ahead of his time. Obesity was on the rise, and food addictions were in full swing. Even children as young as nine were eating themselves into adult-onset diabetes. The term ‘globesity’ was coined to describe this worldwide health crisis.
Ever ahead of the health curve, the Canadian government ordered an exhaustive study of all weight loss solutions known to man. Organizations like Weightwatchers were investigated, diets like The Zone, Atkins, and South Beach were evaluated, herbs like ephedra were eaten, snorted, and injected, tribal peoples across the world were extorted in an attempt to discover their weight loss wisdom… not a single stone was left unturned.
Finally, the government-appointed Canadian National Committee for the Sane Control of Weight issued its monstruously authoritative 500-page report, and overnight it became a Canadian bestseller.
Readers in America still haven’t heard of it. It’s Canadian! Who cares?? One American publisher firm attempted to take on the U.S. distribution of the report, but ran into translation difficulties. The movie rights, however, are still available.
Among the Committee’s findings are:
* No diet works for everyone * Most obese people are lazy, but so are many skinny people * Many obese people eat lots of sugar and diet sodas, but so do skinny Hollywood fashion models * Professional athletes usually are not obese * Anorexics don’t gain weight
In short, the report was stunning in its inconclusiveness. The only points of light were some promising newer diets that had not yet been tried by large groups of people, or by large groups of large people, which included:
* The Tape Worm Diet Pill * The Miraculous All Chocolate Diet * The Ephedra Weight Loss Pizza
Experts, in the report, expressed concerns about each of these diets. Yet, they concluded, “we must try anything and everything, leaving no stone unturned, until everyone in the world can look like Jennifer Lopez and Brad Pitt.”
Ok, ok, let’s get serious.
I really am working on an ephedra weight loss pizza.
Stay tuned.
