Pineapple Juice Is 5 Times More Effective Than Cough Syrup

GFP: We've been informed this may just be a rumor, and we can't find much to back up the claim about pineapple juice working better than cough syrup. However, Bromelain does appear to have some medicinal properties.

Did you know that pineapple juice is 500% more effective at helping you to stop coughing than  cough syrup is? Well, it’s true, and it’s all on account of the fact that fresh pineapples contain a substance known as Bromelain; a specific type of enzyme that has anti-inflammatory characteristics which can combat infections and eradicate bacteria.

Half your daily dose of vitamin C

One glass pineapple juice also contains nearly half the amount of vitamin C that you require per day. Vitamin C is essential because as well as many other uses, it also enables your body to metabolize certain vital enzymes that regulate your metabolism and manage energy.

This Prank Proved That Most People Don’t Read Past Headlines

But it may have proven more…

A social media April Fool’s prank spearheaded by NPR in 2014 is – ironically – drawing some reflection. This isn’t one of those frustrating social media psychology tests without the users’ knowledge. It appears to have been a lighthearted joke and a thank you to readers.

NPR posed a question with a link:

Why Doesn’t America Read Anymore?

According to writer Jay Hathaway, commenters squawked:

We totally do, NPR. Shut up. We read all the time. We’re reading your article right now!

Which only proved that they didn’t.

Had they actually gone to the link on the NPR website they wouldn’t have seen a story, but would have seen this message:

Bacon, Hot Dogs, And Other Processed Meats Cause Cancer, World Health Organization Says

Source: www.everydayhealth.com | Original Post Date: October 26, 2015 –

Bad news for bacon lovers: Eating processed meats — including bacon, sausages, and hot dogs — can increase your risk of colon cancer, according to a report issued today by the World Health Organization (WHO).

A team of 22 health experts from 10 countries reviewed 800 studies on the disease in humans and concluded that, when eaten daily, each 50 grams (gm) of processed meat (the equivalent of about two slices of ham or sausage) increases the risk of colon cancer by 18 percent. WHO also noted that eating red meat, such as beef, pork, and lamb, can cause colon, prostate, or pancreatic cancer.

Heart of Hearts – Following Our Deepest Callings

By Jack Adam Weber
Contributing Writer for Wake Up World

To live a fulfilling and meaningful life, without which life is meaningless, we have to inhabit more and more our heart of hearts — our deep hearts, the center of our inner knowingness. We can tap into this knowingness if we are sensitive and can deeply feel ourselves. It is informed by our minds, yet often has a different message for us than what we think we know.

This knowingness in our heart of hearts can share with us right from wrong. This means that we are organically and inescapably accountable for what presents to us in our heart of hearts — a morality of the heart if you will.

Therefore, to live a robust, more meaningful life with less suffering, we must live deeply in our hearts. This depth, for example, is the intimacy and reckoning we experience in the dark, in the silence, deeply feeling and sensitively paying attention to what our deep body shares with our inner attention and listening. This information is largely about our personal truth, our subjective experience and path in life.

           AstroEyes Evolutionary Astrology – Cathy Lindsey

Since August we have been in an accelerated growth phase.  We have had many planets changing direction and the Nodes changing signs. We have had  a powerful Solar Eclipse/New Moon in Virgo….then we experienced the Autumn Equinox that was sandwiched between both the Solar Eclipse/New Moon and an even more powerful Lunar Eclipse-Full Moon-Blood Moon-Harvest Moon-Super Moon in Aries!  During all these activations we have been downloaded with much knowledge both consciously and unconsciously.  Our DNA has been activated on many levels…..and communications in all areas and on all levels has been opened up to receive. The Universe is speaking very loudly!!!!   The Urgency is increasing….. Are you listening?

This Super Taurus full Moon is the third of three Super Moons in a row.  All three Super Moons have to do with Love and relationships.  The first Super Moon of the Three was in Pisces….which is all about unconditional love and the Oneness.  The Second Super Moon of the Three was in Libra….which is all about relationships, especially partnerships….love of the “Other”.  This Third Super Moon is in Taurus, ruled by Venus…it is about self Love and our values…it is about comfort and a connection with  love for the Earth and all who resides there.  The major theme throughout is… Love!  During the last several months relationship issues in all areas…. have been brought up and put right in our faces, right in our faces so we won’t miss them…..so we can heal them.  You have to be able to “see” them…..before you can heal them!

You’re Not Wrong

by Lauren Hayes

I recently had a profound conversation that I want to share with you. It was with my friend, Scout Wilkins, who is also an amazing coach and visionary living in the US. She and I have been dialoguing with each other over the past two years on many, many topics and her approach has helped me so much in putting together the more elusive pieces of my life.

Over the past few years, I’ve been squaring off with an old belief system that was somewhere deep inside my psyche which said: Who you really are – is not acceptable.

I think that this is a really deep belief system embedded in many of us, in different ways, and it’s also not always easy to recognise.

Take me for example, someone who completely shed the life they used to have in Australia, as a licensing executive who travelled the world, made a lot of money, had the expensive home and a wardrobe full of amazing shoes… and became “real” – by embracing my spiritual side and going full-throttle into this new area of myself while I let that old identity go.

Participation

What are you doing right now?  Are you spending most of your time sitting and looking at your phone or computer?  The current way of your Earth-plane existence has set you up to be a passive observer of life.  Today, you are being invited to participate; get out into your world, look around, see what you can see and experience things first hand.  The marvelous brain you were gifted has the ability to store the sights, sounds, tastes and feelings of your involvement in a way that you can access any time you choose.  At the end of your time on Earth, what would you rather say? “Oh, I saw that once” or “That was one of the best moments I ever experienced”.  The choice has always been yours, my love!  Choose wisely. ~ Creator

Your Own Sacred Space

By John Holland

sacred-space_OMTimesAt one time or another we all need a break from the outside world, a place we can visit to quiet our minds, to renew our energy, and a place where we can commune with the heavens and our soul. Some prefer to go on a vacation or on a retreat; some prefer to go to a sacred location like a church, cathedral, synagogue or temple, or even the pyramids!

When I am feeling tense, disconnected, or when I need to meditate, I don’t need to always go to a location that’s far away, I can go to my own sacred space located right in my home, which is dedicated to my spiritual work. If you are lucky enough to have a whole room, that’s great, but if not, is there a corner or certain area within a room that you can dedicate to being your “sacred space?”

Day 160: In a rut?

IN A RUT? Know that there is more that you have to offer in life besides your daily routine. What is required is that you move out of your box and open the doors to the vast array of possibilities that are offered freely to you. You may need to turn off your television and other sources of information that keeps you bogged in the doom and gloom feelings of despair that are currently bombarding your energy grids.

Place your focus on your passions. Take time to ponder what you would like to experience. Look at these possibilities openly, without setting parameters such as, “It costs too much. I could never do that. What would others think?” Allow your thoughts to wander to things you once dreamed of. Ponder things that might give you satisfaction. Where do you wish to spend your time?

How much energy do you want to expend on current projects? Is there a talent you would like to express? Is there a project you would like to be a part of? Is there a skill you wish to hone? Set aside all of the negative reasons that keep you from moving forward. Begin to list the things that feel energizing and fulfilling. Research the steps you need to take to experience your dreams.

The Message Your Life Gives

God said:

Negativity. Negativity holds you back from fulfillment of your desires. You know that anger and resentment keep you in a place where it is hard for fulfillment to enter. When you carry a certain vibration, only what is of the same vibration can go there.

Sooner or later, your negativity goes away. It may even melt and return to good feeling. Nothing in the situation has changed but how you feel, and what a difference that makes.

You somehow get into a better frame of mind. You allow the opening up of new possibilities. If a water pipe is stopped up, the water can’t get through. This is how negativity works as well. It clogs your heart.

Is it clear what negativity is? It is hard-heartedness in whatever form it comes in. Anger is a common form of negativity. The release of anger lets you move forward. All negativity is a blockage. As your consciousness rises, negativity can be transformed. Negativity can be transformed because you stand higher and you see differently. Because you see more clearly, new understanding enters. This is not being good. This is not sentimentality. This is not effort. It is a natural event when you come to see through a different spectrum.

Your point of view widens, and it softens. Whatever offense you had seen and held onto, your rigidity about it melted.When you see more dispassionately, the whole configuration changes. You see from a larger view. You feel less disparaged, and you disparage the other much less. The disparagement just isn’t there any longer or so much there any longer.

And it is never too late. Still life can be changed - but don' t hope that your wife should change. That is the wrong approach. You change. Change radically. Stop doing things that you have always been doing. Start doing things that you have never done. Change radically, become a new person, and you will be surprised. When you become a new person, your wife becomes a new person. She will have to, to respond to you. In the beginning she will find it hard because it will be almost like living with another husband, but slowly, slowly she will see that if you can change, why can't she? Never hope that the other should change. In every relationship start the change from your side.

Life can still become a paradise; it is never too late. But great courage is needed to change. All that is really needed is a little more awareness. De-automatize your behavior; just watch what you have been doing up to now. You do the same thing, and the wife reacts in the same way. It has become a settled pattern.

Astrology Forecast for the 2015 Taurus Full Moon

By Kathy Biehl

October 27, 2015

5:05 AM PDT / 8:05 AM EDT / 12:05 PM GMT

3 Taurus 44 / 3 Scorpio 44

Possession is a theme of October’s 2015 Taurus Full Moon. The Moon is lighting up what we possess — money, talents resources — here and now in this earthly existence, and especially how we feel about all of it. The theme has another side, though: How and by what are we ourselves possessed?

Indicators of both ends of this spectrum have been flying the past week or two. They have teemed with significant milestones involving matters close to our hearts and bank accounts. Some situations have taken on firmer contours or solidified; others have felt the swift and irreversible whack of a machete. These milestones are key parts of the 2015 Taurus Full Moon, as the landscapes of our lives morph into foundations and structures that replace the chaos of the past three years.

Worth

What are you worth?  You may believe that this is determined by outside influences, but the answer lies within.  It is not up to others to decide this for you.  With the establishment of firm boundaries and a healthy dose of self-love, you will be able to discern what you are truly worth to yourself and those around you.  If you have these important ingredients, you will never allow anyone to sell you short again. ~ Creator

Do We Really Create Our Own Reality?

By Lissa Rankin, MD
Guest Writer for Wake Up World

There’s a school of thought in spiritual circles that ascribes to the idea that everything that happens in our lives — the blissful things, the growth edge things, the horrid things — all happens with purpose. This spiritual teaching suggests that everything reflected in our lives is the result of our conscious or unconscious desires, and that when things aren’t going our way, it’s because the blueprint of the subconscious actually desires the very thing we think we don’t want. In other words, we may believe that we want to meet the love of our life, or we may hope to have the cancer cured, but if someone were to muscle test us or read the subconscious mind intuitively, we would discover that at the level of the subconscious, we’re actually terrified of falling in love because of a past heartbreak, or the cancer is meeting some core need for rest, connection, or freedom from a toxic job, for example.
