Here, again, I asked some of the same questions posed through Jeannie, this time, through Jamie. It seems like Erik has learned a bit more about each subject. After this channeling segment, please read a request by our dear family member, Stanley. We need those frickin’ laser beams to help Sandra heal! Also, I’d like to give a shout out to my daughter, Michelle. Happy birthday, my angel! I love you!

Channeling Transcript

Me: Okay, here’s another question from one of the blog members: “Well I would venture to guess both you and Erik are platonic soul mates”—I already know that— “Now, when you’re platonic soul mates, and your connection is as strong as Erik and yours, does that mean some of the Source Energy is the same?” I guess he’s asking if you and I and other platonic soul mates share the same energy or is it still separate?

Jamie listens then heaves a sigh of mock annoyance.

Jamie: He’s having a—Oh, just answer it, Erik!  He’s asking, “What do you mean, separate?”

Me: I dunno?! I know very little. Just hit me with your best shot. I was hoping you’d fill in all the blanks for me there.

Jamie and I laugh.

Me: Like do you and I share the same energy, I guess.

Erik: Yes. Maybe it’s just easier to think of it that way, but when we go into terms of being separate, that’s just the human illusion.

Me: Okay, so we do share some of the same energy and that’s the case with all soul mates?

Erik: Exactly.

Me: So, let’s go on to something different. I just talked to you about this recently through Jeannie. Tell me what you know about people who come into this world with developmental disabilities like Down’s Syndrome, autism, things like that. What’s up with that, spiritually speaking?

Erik: Oh, I’ve learned some more about that. Those are souls who go to earth to have a little fucking peace. P-E-A-C-E.

Me: Oh, okay! Wow, what a surprise!

Erik: Yeah, cuz the rest of us are bullied around by our own egos. We’re also bullied around by what society expects from us. But here are these “sweet ones” who come in, and we see them as being “damaged.”

Me: Aw.

Erik: Such a fuckin’ shame. We should really see them as—

Jamie (a bit nonplussed): WHAT IS UP WITH YOU, ERIK?!

Erik (chuckling): Oh, just SAY IT, Jamie!

Jamie: He says we should really see them as the “lucky bastards.”

Me: Oh, yeah, I can definitely see that. Egos, our own and others, can be so exhausting. But sometimes I think, you know—I’ve been in the presence of disabled children and adults, and I always felt this awe of them. It’s like they have this compassion and wisdom that so many of the rest of us don’t have. They’re here to teach the world something special, aren’t they.

Erik: Oh, yeah, I agree. And we talked about this, yeah.

Me: Well, I’m just getting a second opinion here, because last time, an angelic being answered this question.

Erik: But yeah, you can see it in their eyes, Mom. It’s like they know more, but they can’t communicate it to us in a way we’d understand.

Me: Yeah.

Erik: That would just ruin the whole gig for them!

Me: It’s like they can experience joy easier than we can. Are they here to teach us something?

Erik: Ah, simplicity. Sweet simplicity. We’ve forgotten that we’re here to love. We’ve learned how to survive, but now we’re in this whole competition thing. That’s one of the things they’re there on the earthly plane to teach.

Me: Mmm.

Erik: You look at Down’s Syndrome; you look at these mental challenges—there is NO competition. They don’t have this deep separation of “me” and “you.”

Me: How wonderful. What amazing spirits. What about vaccines? Are they linked to autism, diabetes, autoimmune diseases and other diseases?

Jamie: I think Erik took his cussing pill this morning!

Me: His what?

Jamie: His cussing pill. He normally tones it down for me.

Me: Oh yeah, just go ahead and let it out—let it on out! I’ve heard ‘em all, believe you me!

Jamie: Um, well, he just said, “Hell fucking yeah.”

I laugh.

Erik: And these people want to bury it in some factual mumbo jumbo. They just feed us more lies, and we nod our heads and say, “Oh, of course! Yes, that’s how it works.”

Me: Oh, god.

Erik: What’s worse is the doctors wanna keep their jobs and they wanna make their money, and the doctors are being influenced by the medical field, uh, the medicinal field, not by the research field.

Me: You mean the pharmaceutical field?

Erik: Yeah, that. Plus they inject these babies with so much in such a short time. And it’s not enlightening us at all on how to care for ourselves. We really just need to throw our arms around eating plants to heal ourselves, things like that.

Me: Yeah, exactly. Well, I had a feeling that was the case. Okay, so why the increase in ADHD and bipolar disease?

(Long pause)

Jamie (to Erik): Two ways? (Then to me): He’s talking about there being several different influences that cause these to rise, but two in particular. Inter, uh, intervene, (Again to Erik): Say that again, Erik. Because people are older?

Erik: People who are older are people who normally could not carry children before, but they’re doing so now by getting help through doctors, taking medicines while they do. And many people who are purely healthy and can carry a baby are still taking medicines like antidepressants and stuff. Nutrition is a big factor too. People don’t get the nutrients that they used to get. That’s the second runner up.

Me: Okay, but is there a spiritual basis for these diseases? Sometimes I think people with bipolar disease are highly sensitive souls. They just cannot filter out  positive and negative energy. Is that true, at least for some of them, same thing with ADHD?

Erik: It’s exactly the same thing.

Me: Okay, so is there a spiritual reason that they come with these, uh, I won’t call them disorders, but—

Erik: Yeah, and it’s fine to call them disorders, cuz think about it. If the people—

(Pause as Jamie listens to Erik)

Jamie: Erik!

Erik: I’m serious, Jamie! If the people who couldn’t have babies just didn’t, right?  They let nature give them their lesson instead of overriding nature and using science and manmade technology to cheat the system, um, if we all just stuck to that, then we’d have a lot more healthy people in the world.

Me: Hmm.

Erik: Everyone wants to reach that golden dream.

Me: Yep. Or maybe giving birth to someone with bipolar disease is a lesson onto itself.

Erik (pointing back to me): Touché! Way to go, Mom! It can be a lesson.

Me: Yeah, cuz I never had to use technology to have you guys, but I had kids with bipolar disease, OCD, Tourettes, and ADHD, so…

Erik: Right.

Me: Sometimes I feel like some of those who come here with bipolar disease come for a reason. They’re so intuitive and sensitive. But then they get on the physical plane and they just can’t handle it. They can’t use their gift the way they’re meant to use it.

Erik: I see your point, and I’ve met a lot of people who are that way.

(Pause as Jamie listens)

Jamie: Yeah, um, he’s talking about a client that actually had a phone session here.

(Long pause)

Jamie: Anyway, um, I wanna say it begins with a J.

Me: Okay.

Jamie: But she was bipolar too, and very gifted, very sensitive.

Me: Um hmm.

Jamie: And he feels that she fits what you’re talking about where she couldn’t connect the spiritual body to the physical body, and so it just kind of, uh, it miswired and it caused that chemical malfunction.

Me: Interesting. Okay, what about addiction, substance abuse? Is there a lesson t be learned by that or, um, is there a spiritual reason for people to become addicted? I’m talking about alcohol, prescription drugs—anything.

Erik: Pacifiers. These are all pacifiers. Pacifiers, because they don’t have self-love. When you don’t love yourself, you need something else to comfort and soothe you. Without self-love you can’t find self-worth, so you wanna nurse on something, but unfortunately, when we grow up, we can’t exactly suck on the tit, so…

Me: Okay, that sure sounds like you, Erik.

Erik: Yeah, so we nurse on something else.

Me: Does this tend to happen more with people who aren’t as comfortable on the physical plane?

Erik: Oh, hell yeah! Not comfortable in their own bodies, not comfortable with the families they’re in. A lot of people wanna blame it on the situations they’re in like things that happened in their life, but that’s bullshit.

Me: Oh!

Erik: The blame rests with the people themselves. It’s their function. They choose to do the addictive behavior to soothe themselves. But there are some scientists who claim, um—

Jamie (to Erik): What? What do you mean?

(Pause)

Jamie (again to Erik): What, like a sub, uh, that you’re pre-wired for addiction?

Erik: Yeah, there are some people who are pre-wired for addiction. If you repeat a pattern so many times that the body depends on that repetitive pattern to survive—

Me: Okay.

Erik: And so that’s why they can say some people are more sensitive to addiction than others.

Me: Uh huh. (pause) Is it because they repeated the same pattern from one body to the next, from one life to the next? Is that why they come into a life pre-wired for addiction?

Erik: Yep.

Me: Okay.

Stanley’s Request

Hello Elisa,

I was wondering if in your next blog entry if you can ask the CE family for prayers for my friend/roomate Sandra. She’s the one who asked Erik about her adoption last year. At 5:30am yesturday morning I went to pop my head into her room because for the last 3 days she had been feeling dizzy and light headed and her left leg was causing her pain, and was having trouble getting a deep breath. Thankfully my angels kept pushing me to have her go to the hospital. And after Pam’s heart attack after not listening to that little warning I wasn’t about to make that mistake twice, so I told her she was going to the ER to get checked out, no maybe about it.

When she tried to sit up to get dressed she couldn’t even stand up. And her dizzyness was worse. That meant is was indeed serious enough to need a ambulance. When she got to the ER we found the situation was indeed worse than we had thought. Sandra has always had low blood presure. But by the time she got to the ER her blood pressure had dropped down to 58/30 with a pulse rate of 120. So it was no surprise that she had chest pain of a 7 on a scale of 1-10. Thankfully I was able to get in to see her within about a hour so I was able to use my gift of healing to take the chest pain away and help regulate her heart a bit. It was difficult and draining.

The issue, she had be going to wound care for large wounds on the lower belly area. Due to her brain tumor medications (staroids) use for the last 25 years she gained weight over the years causing her belly to sag. The doctor wanted to get her a tummy tuck to take off the sagging belly, but she had wounds due to the weight pulling on the skin. So had one that ran from left to right that was a good 6 inches or so long that they were trying to fix as no surgen would do the surgery until the wounds had healed. Well apparently even with best home care, the wound got infected. The infection had apparently caused the heart issue and dizzyness. And if that wasn’t enough, she also had cellulitus just above her left ankle, which was the cause of the pain making it painful for her to bare weight on that leg.

The 3 days building up to yesturday morning’s ER visit, she had lost her appitite. The only thing she had to eat was some potatoe salad and a chicken patty for dinner on Tuesday March 12. She didn’t feel up to eatting anything after that point. Which I am sure added to her loss of strangth not giving the body any fuel.

So after 6 1/2 hours in the ER she was able to be stabilized enough to move to the ICU so they could keep a better eye on her heart and wound infection. They put in a pick line and cleaned and packed her wound and attached this vacume to the wound to pull out the draining and I think to help pull out the infection perhaps too.

Once she was settled I needed to go home and get something to eat and lay down. It was a difficult day for both of us. The ambulance they had sent to the house was a AMR (American Medical Responce) which was a trigger for my PTSD from the abuse when I was a kid. So seeing tha ambulance and having them in the house was difficult to handle, but at the same time, I couldn’t exactly say “get out and send a different ambulance company”. I just needed to deal with it. Same with sitting with Sandra in the ER as the environment is triggering as well. So by the time I got home, I was mentally and physically worn out.

But I just wished to ask if you can request the CE family for prayers that Sandra will be ok and recover as swiftly as possible. I just keep hoping she will be alright. I am greatful for any prayers for her to get better. And I know the CE family has a lot of love and light power. Thanks Elisa so very much for any prayer help you and the CE family can give. **hug**

Stanley

    Hi Elisa,

    Speaking of Bipolar disease I’ve noticed that this disease is diagnosed in a lot of people. I personally know several people who have been diagnosed with it. At least one person I don’t doubt having it, the others not so much. But since I’m not a doctor I really don’t have any right to try and say otherwise. I guess what I’m trying to say is that I think many people are diagnosed with it so the pills can be prescribed. I know that is a bold claim and wanted to get the opinion of a doctor.

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      I think that’s possible, but more than likely, it relates to the industrialized diet and how deficient we all are in Omega-3 and other nutrients, plus we’re able to diagnosis it more easily–supposedly. In other words, we have criteria to follow to achieve a diagnosis.

    You and Sandra are in my prayers and my thoughts. Take good care of yourself so that you can in turn take good care of her. You are both loved.

  • Steve

    I truly hope Sandra pulls through!

    I completely agree with what I read here about addiction. I do wonder about the vaccine thing, as recent sstudies have shown that the vaccines are not related to autism. However, we really don’t know, do we?

    Hi Steve

    hard to know what to believe.
    Erik mentioned multiple vaccinations

    “Erik: Yeah, that. Plus they inject these babies with so much in such a short time.”

    I agree with Erik, that is a lot for a little body to tolerate. I wonder if the studies are done on just one vaccine at a time. Either way, we have gone from treating illnesses to prevention. I wonder just how many of those shots are really necessary. As a baby I had mumps, measles and chicken pox and survived it all. Now babies are vaccinated for all three. Overkill? And at what expense. Seems pharmaceutical companies are the big winners here :)

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      I agree, just as a doctor. Injecting so much foreign protein into a little baby with a naive immune system just doesn’t seem right. Contagion precaution is what we should concentrate on. But I do think fatal diseases like polio and tetanus should be vaccinated against. I didn’t vaccinate my kids against HPV. It doesn’t cover all strains and they need to practice safe sex, etc.

  • Susan

    Sending LOTS of healing light to Sandra….

    Interesting topic today regarding addictions and people with disabilities…..I totally agree with everything being said…..

    Stanley and Sandra, sending reiki and healing thoughts your way. Hoping for a quick and complete recovery.

    I heard a quote once that is so simple yet makes so much sense. You cannot solve a problem from the same mindset that created it. I wish we could all just wake up and see a different future as a human race. But I guess baby steps will have to do for now.

  • Lena

    Elisa – I have a question for you. Are there any entries coming up about twins, specifically conjoined twins and the spiritual basis (for lack of a better term) behind them?

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      Not yet, but what a great question. I’m starting the celeb channeling so everyone keep track of these latest questions and we’ll get to them.

  • Yvonne

    Speaking of healing and affliction,
    There are many spiritual, religious and magickal traditions that suggest that what we eat has a great impact upon our spirits, and hence, our health. Our plants and animals have energies that effect our energies. What do Erik and the members of the spiritual world believe is the ideal diet? I know that when we do spiritual work, channeling, or healing, we should eat a certain way, and we can also infuse our food with our spiritual intention. What do others think about eating to heal ourselves? I am sorry if this has been addressed before.

    I believe alcoholism is a brain disfunction, not a moral defect. Most alcoholics have severe anxiety and that’s why they drink. It is something to do with GABA in the brain. A new treatment using Baclofen, a muscle relaxant which effects GABA is curing alcoholics all over the world. Addiction is a brain disfunction.
    Stanley I have sent out some white light to you and your friend Sandra.

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      I agree, but I think there are spiritual issues that cause the biology and even the DMA to change. By spiritual issues, I mean things related to one’s consciousness.

  • Nancy Antia

    Dear Lorna,

    Are you sure you’re clinically depressed? Sometimes when somebody experiences and manifests prolonged sadness, loneliness, nostalgia, deep feelings of not being able to adjust to the so called “reality”, and/or other VERY painful feelings, they say they’re depressed. Sadly, too often somebody else with little or no knowledge about what depression actually is, labells them as depressed.Let me tell you something: When we talk about depression we’re referring to a large continent not completely explored yet. To begin with, there are different types of depression and to make things even more complex, each individual will have his own depression meaning he’ll go through the process experiencing a unique, very personal medical condition (as far as I know this applies to all medical conditions but I’m not a M.D).I think you need a differential diagnosis(DDx) as a first step. From there, it has to be a bit easier to find the right treatment for you. Meanwhile, try to give and receive all the love you can. Helping others, be it a person, an animal, the forests, the anti war movement or whatever it is you feel close to your heart can do the miracle. Please try to read Anita’s NDE. You’ll find lots of comfort in what she wrote. There’s also an MP3 recording; she also used to be in a forum (don’t know if she’s there now).
    If you wish to email me, here’s my email address: nancy.antia@gmail.com

    With hope,

    Nancy

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      Yes, Nancy, and I do believe what Erik said, that there are spiritual depressions and their are physical ones.

  • Nancy Antia

    I apologize because I made a mistake. I posted this comment here instead of doing it on The Spiritual Side of Disease where it belongs. I was reading both posts, it’s late and I’m tired. Hope Lorna gets to read it.

  • JoAnn

    I will send all my love to you both and am hoping for a quick recovery for Sandra. Stanley,,what a wonderful gift you gave of yourself to Sandra, to help her through her pain and emotional stress as well,,it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside,,what a great gift. i feel i have gotten from you also, in the knowing ,,that love is all around,,with that in mind i send mine to both of you. Happy b-day Michelle…….. I am bi -polar and i do not look at myself as disabled ,i just see myself as me,,,but i have been told by my doctors that i have done wonders in my life because they say I am really “bad” bi-polar. by medical/clinical guidelines i guess. I think that if there was one reason (i know there are more) that my soul would have decided to come back here as torturous as life has been at times in my experiences,that one reason would only be to help other people,i think there is a teacher inside of me and i am so glad to finally be able to believe that with all my heart and soul. Now ,the big problem is with my disorder i find it very difficult to actually “BE” that teacher and it breaks my heart.as i was reading what Erik was saying about illnesses and why they are here i had a thought that maybe besides my disorder or b/c of it, i guess there is no way to truly tell which or if both.but either way,the actual first action i described to the doctor that was a factor in the understanding of my disorder was when i told him about the time when i was 9 yrs old and had the most “awakenning” event happen to me and it was all inside my confused little mind. But i can remember the feeling like i am there in that moment right now and it is an awesome feeling a sense of knowing and remembering because i felt like i had woke up that morning and for the first time in my life i had actually been able to see with my entire being.it was very early and i went outside and decided to ride my bike .it was warm and the sun was becoming brighter on the ground as i was peddling.i was chasing the shadows i guess you could say because as i was coming upon objects i could witness them in the exact moment that they themselves were getting their first glimpse of the brightness sweeping over them . it was never a race to catch up or win but more like a journey of my mind a oneness that was exhillarating to me.it was at those exact moments when i shared the first glimpse of the sunshine with those objects that i knew i was connected to everything and that everything was connected to me. and it was so strange because when i had this realization the entire world slowed down and in my perception it was slowing down “for” me so i could feel the information that i had just learned and baske in the delight of it. after i finished with my riding i felt elated but weary too so i rode up under my favorite tree and laid down on the grass and i remember looking up to the heavens and thinking to myself what is this thing i am here to do and at first i was really trying to take in the reality i had just discovered and how i fit into that and i asked “GOD” why? and i was very upset that i did not get a direct answer because it was as if i expected it the same as i would have expected my father to answer my question and i had no doubt that i would hear the answer if one was given because the nature of the reality i had experienced allowed me to know that i was a part of everything and everything was a part of me and we were comnnected to “GOD” and it was like i remembered in that moment that i had met god and that i knew him and he knew me,so why wouldn’t i expect him to answer me. but i didn’t get an answer and it made me very sad and angry because i couldn’t understand why i wasn’t answered and why i was all of a sudden so alone. now as i told the story to my doctor i knew that it was a bi polar episode my first one,the ever dreaded mania. but as i look at it now,,it was an enlightenment,so i have no idea ,,, if bi polar is enlightenment or if i am an enlightened person that happens to be bi polar?it is like what came first the chicken or the egg ? i know that it seems trivial but it is truly puzzling to me so if anyone can offer their opinion i would truly appreciate it. thanks guys for being here and hearing me ,,i love you all and i again thank you all for helping me to be here and wanting to be here in this life again .

  • JoAnn

    @i was talking with a friend of mine earlier about that same thing and we are completely opposite in our views on everything so i was not surprised when she seen it exactly opposite then i was trying to show her. and i know that most people can only look at things from their own point of view but i have a gift maybe because i can see things from all different points of view. but truly it would be in my opinion exactly what this world and all humanity is here to do,,,this changing our view point completely opposite from what it is now. it is like we are working backwards as a race or maybe just working in the totally opposite direction then our journey is supposed to be heading. we are going furture and furture away from oneness and togetherness. it is like we are supposed to be gradually leaving the animalistic behind where we worry about survival ,food ,shelter clothing possesions that set us apart from or above others. those kinds of worries are the animalistic behavoirs we started with and we are supposed to be heading towards not focusing our energy on those things as our priorities but focusing our energy and intent on matters of our heart ,like what we do and who we do it with and how we do it and who we share what we do with and making sure we help others to get there emotional needs met and being happy and healthy and as i see it we are just getting furture and furture away friom that objective. So it is like you said we need to completely switch ourselves around and if people could except that we are alike in minds and bodies as a race and that all the needs for body are the things that we should not be trying to set above and make our priority in life because if food and shelter and clothing and belongings were to suddenly be given the backseat ,to say. and we were able to realize that we should actually worry about working on our inner energy needs being met as the priority in the world then we could start heading in the right direction as a race and become the humanity that is the human in us.

  • eupeptic

    Elisa, after reading a blog post last month about how much the general public should go out of their way to accommodate those with peanut allergies I was thinking that perhaps the recent (past few decades or so) increase in food allergies could be related to the increase in vaccines that children are receiving. (This would make sense to me as vaccines are meant to train the immune system to react to foreign substances, but perhaps it can go awry in some people and cause their immune system to attack things that it shouldn’t – resulting in a food allergy.)

    What I’m interested in is if you’d ask Erik if the increase in food allergies is caused by vaccines? And if so, what people should do about it?

    One page that has a good analysis of the use of vaccines and people with peanut allergies is: http://www.avoidingmilkprotein.com/vacandpea.htm (You don’t need to read this, but you should if you can find the time. In summary, they did an analysis of the number of people with peanut allergies among groups of people who either do give their children vaccinations or who do not give their children any vaccinations, and there are almost no incidences of people with peanut allergies among those who do not vaccinate.) Sadly there doesn’t seem to be much research going into the subject of vaccines and food allergies – which seems to me like a rather obvious place to look once I thought that the two may be related.

    And the blog post that got me thinking about this is at: http://thestir.cafemom.com/big_kid/117466/hideous_parents_picket_over_a (You don’t need to read this, but I want to link it as it started a very, very long and heated discussion – many posts on that site get about 5-25 replies, but this one has received 460 replies so far.)

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      I’ll try, Eupeptic, but I’ve just started the celeb channeling so it might have to wait. :-(

  • Stanley

    Firstly I would like to thank you Elisa and everyone in the CE family for your prayers for Sandra to recover. I can say it’s working because thus far, her dizziness has pretty much gone away and her blood pressure is up from 56/30 up to 98/43. Pretty much her normal BP. The downside is they found she has a Staph infection. At least now they know what is going on and can get her better. So thank you all from the bottom of my heart for all the healing energy being sent!

    And as for the disorders, it makes sense about all the issues with what we are pumping into kids with injections, medication and stuff in the environment. I don’t know all that is involved, but I fell that genes can be a factor as well. I just feel it’s not any one item, but a combination of many things that kids are subjected to.

    Amy, I love that video. It’s so true about the little things we miss when a friend or loved one passes. It’s those sounds and voices. My friend DJ is a good example of a sound I miss. When he would play his World of Warcraft, I would hear “NOOOOO!!, God damn walking carpet!”. Walking carpet was the name he would call one of the furry races in the game. Sure it sometimes woke me up, but now I truly miss hearing him, even if it was only to cuss at the screen.

    And Michelle, I wish you a very happy birthday! Hope you have so many more. Be well everyone! And thanks again for the love and light support for Sandra’s swift healing.

  • JoAnn

    caroline@ this is just the diet i need ,i would love to hear what Erik would be able to tell us about each item we should eat to enhance physical and spiritual health both. I know that the mamwich and chicken or spaghetti or meatloaf and macaroni and cheese or mashed potatoes throw in a quick veggie from the can or frozen bag can not be healthy for either, i am not a nutritionist at all but i can just see that there must be a simple diet we could eat that would take care of everyone of the bodys’ needs. Especially if nutrition is needing to be “simplistic” and considered only for the reason to feed our minds and bodies properly and hold no other rellevance to our priorities,in order to switch our way of thinking around to opposite of what it is now.so that one day instead of everyone worrying about the fancy stomach filling meal they can eat tonight they can worry about what they are going to feed the soul and the spirit and how to make sure everyone else gets their share too. Maybe we could start it by everyone trying to replace one snack time a day with a hug or sharing of ones self with another and we could all benefit each day with an extra daily dose of “love”

    Stanley and Sandra…so sorry to hear you’re going through these experiences. Am sending you both Reiki. You’re very brave to deal with all this given the PTSD, Stanley. I hope you can totally heal from it in this lifetime. We’re all pulling for you. It sounds as though you’ve decided to make a lot of progress in one lifetime.

    As far as the food supply and what we eat impacting our health, as an environmental lawyer who has taken a LOT of science, and just as a 64 year old observer of life, I believe the contaminants in the air and soil and seas have a huge impact on the health of us and our children. In ONE way, how can it not? I can remember as a young woman reading a book by Adele (someone!), she was one of the early famous nutritionists. Anyone else remember her. Anyway, she said when someone asks her, “how much vitamin A is in an apricot?” Her answer is “what apricot? grown where?” You can imagine an apricot grown in clay or sand and compare it to an apricot grown in rich soil? They’ll be different, of course.

    When we stopped using DDT on plants in the US because we found bird’s eggs and birds couldn’t reproduce because their shells were so fragile because the birds had been poisoned by DDT, US chemical factories continued to make DDT and sell it overseas. So in other countries, they use pesticides to grow food that aren’t used here in the US, and then the food is shipped to the US and we eat it, ingesting the pesticides anyway. We’re still killing birds, just not in the US. I have a friend who is a scientist who works for the US EPA; she specializes in water issues. BIG problem! She says we need insecticides to have water. We’ve gotten outselves into a lose-lose situation; damned if we use pesticides; damned if we don’t.

    When you see reports of how many chemicals are in mother’s milk, it really can raise the hair on your arms! We tell pregnant women not to eat certain kinds of fish so the fetus doesn’t get exposed to mercury, then we put mercury in fvccines and give it to babies in shots.

    I’m allergic to sulfa and penicilin and lots of antibotics, so I’ve stopped eating meat and non-organic eggs. I don’t want to get antibiotics “second hand” and end up killing myself, or making myself able to use even fewer antibiotics.

    On the OTHER hand, there are people who are so spiritually evolved that they have fully internalized that all is illusion, and they are living ONLY on TEA! No joke.

    The ideal diet would be difficult for most of us to do, which would require a lot of different organic vegetables, olive oils, whole wheat grains/rice, low sugar and processed foods/flours, low fat dairy and some meats (optional). If no meat, then a lot of protein filled legumes. No margarines or trans fats. Limited butter.

    I still the ideal diet is one of moderation. Balance. Eat healthy 85% of the time, splurge a little 15%. and EXERCISE!! Stay away from junk food as it’s filled with MSG which actually makes you want to eat more. Sodas = bad. Drink tons of purified water.

    “One hundred and forty million euros added to budget allocated by EU for 2011-2013,” Barroso

    President of the European Commission (EC) José Manuel Barroso announced, on Tuesday in Tunis, a “re-orientation” of the assistance programme to Tunisia with an amount of 140 million euros to be added up to the budget appropriated by the European Union for the 2011-2013 period.

    snip
    The talks, which the European official described as “constructive and fruitful,” helped “provide guarantees and be an occasion to assert Europe’s support to Tunisia’s efforts in the economic and social fields,” Mr. Caid Essebsi said. ”

    Tunisia was the first country to launch this transition process and I wish it would be the first example of the new generation of our partnership for democracy and shared prosperity,” Mr. Barroso stressed, announcing a re-orientation of the assistance programmes for the Southern countries during the 2011-2013 period.

    All these programmes combine a total worth of 4 billion euros.

    “For Tunisia, an amount of 140 million euros is to be added up to the already allocated budget for 2011-2013, which is of 257 million euros,” he specified.

    The EU is determined “to achieve a qualitative leap” with those Southern neighbours committed to carry out reforms, through this partnership mechanism, the EC President emphasised.

    Stanley, I am sending love and light to you and Sandra and I have asked my sister to put in prayer requests for you. Please know that you both are loved.

    It’s interesting that Erik says we need to go eat plants to heal ourselves. I read an article on Huff Post by John Robbins called “Being Fat in America” ( http://www.huffingtonpost.com/john-robbins/being-fat-in-america_b_840994.html ). He has a lot of interesting stuff to say, and he talks about plant-based eating and a young lady named Natala Constantine who cured her diabetes and lost a substantial amount of weight. I ordered his book and another The China Report and am seriously thinking of starting my family on this kind of eating…my hubby is diabetic and i am fat so it certainly won’t hurt.

    It’s funny, every time lately I start looking into new info, it seems that Erik confirms that I am on the right track. Talk about synchronicity!

      Or maybe he’s just nosy and looking over our shoulders all the time!

  • Nancy Antia

    Elisa, I think you have a natural gift at picking out what’s important on a passage, any passage. I always pay attention to what it is you choose as the main point.
    Regarding depression,I believe no matter what the etiology is, it will end up affecting your mind as well as your body but what about your soul? I’d love to know more about what Erik said on spiritual depression.

    xo

    Nancy

    P.S: my posts are invisible to everyone except you, Elisa. I’ve noticed it’s begun to hurt my feelings and of course my EGO! I guess it’s one of my lessons here to learn not to be so sensitive :)

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      Aw, everyone loves you, Nancy! Some people just don’t comment as much as me, what with my OCD and all. But about spiritual depression, of course the soul is affected, and that’s why Reiki, music, humor and other energetic healing modalities are so important here and why energy healing is also important right after crossing over. Everybody, give Nancy some love! She shares so many amazing resources with us! Chief Researcher, that’s what she is!

  • Denise

    @Pamie, good article. I have been watching a show on tv called “Ruby”. It follows a woman who is trying to lose weight and it isn’t just biggest loser exercise and food. They explore the psychological, emotional, and motivational aspects of weight loss. She commented that people feel sorry for anorexics but vilify obese people. Weight issues are weight issues.

    I, too, keep getting hit in the face with veganism…maybe I should pay attention.

    Hello Nancy, how would I know if I am clinically depressed? The nature of my depression seems to be that I get depressed for no apparent reason and regardless of what cicumstances I find myself in, hence this makes me believe that the cause is more chemical rather than pschological – does this fit in with the profile of someone suffering clinical depression?

    Thank you for your help

  • http://Google Lorna

    Hi Nancy, I am sorry it took so long to answer you and would be sensitive about it to.

    From now on I will check the postings better, when I read Stanley’s words I went straight down to the bottom to give him message and so missed what you were asking me. I don’t know why I didn’t read the postings at that time as I usually do as it’s so interesting.

    Dear Nancy,

    I have seen your posts many times. You have alerted us to the many underhanded things that are taking place throughout the world. I have found a few more interviews that I am going to share with Elisa and y’all. (Is that how you say it down there Texas doc/girl or gal?)

    We all need to be validated. We all need to feel important. None of us want to feel left out or ignored. You are performing a labor of love because the more that the dark ones are exposed the less power that they have. Thank you my friend.

    Sometimes when we send our love out on the wind we don’t know which way the prevailing winds are blowing. We send it out in hopes that someone will feel the effects of that love and send it back. Does what we say and do matter? Is there anyone that cares one whit what we do?

    I can assure you Nancy that the love you are giving out will return to you and shower you with the rains of goodness. For the silhouettes of your love stay here permanently. They leave an indelible mark that shall never be erased. When we leave this planet the shadows of our love shall stay forever etched in the energetic consciousness of the planet. So shall your love.

    You are dearly and deeply loved my dear friend. You are deeply and dearly valued and appreciated. Like Elisa I have that OCD thing going on. A kind of obsession with all things spiritual. But despite that OCD thing I send out my love to you. The silhouettes of your love shall always stay behind as a legacy of your life here.

    Love,
    Paul

    Oh! That would explain the laughter I hear from time to time! LOL. He is such a rascal.

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      Who, Erik? And yes, people say they hear him laughing all the time.

  • Pamie

    @Nancy. Speaking for myself, I read every comment that everyone makes. But I am kind of shy right now, so I don’t comment that much. But you are noticed and definitely loved.

  • Patrick

    Nancy – your posts are NOT invisible here, nobody’s contribution is. Want to provoke a reaction? Mention Sarah Palin on Fox News…..and hold on!!
    Seriously, you ARE noticed.

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      LOL, you’re such a silly goose, Patrick. I love you.

  • iola

    Hey Patrick!
    sarah palin…fox news….koch brothers…gov. walker…..suntan boehner man……grin grin..:-D

  • Patrick

    @iola – (Shouldn’t I capitalize your name?)
    Koch Brothers? Koch Industries? Hoo boy, is my ignorance showing?
    Thanks Elisa, I love you, too!
    Boehner said he’s never been to a tanning salon…hard to believe that.

    Hi Lorna -
    Sorry, I am not at all caught up on posts, so forgive me if I am totally off base. You mention not being sure if you are clinically depressed, but all you know is that you ‘get depressed for no apparent reason’. As this came up awhile ago in another of my lists, what immediately popped into my mind is that instead of being depressed, you MAY just be extremely empathic ! That happens a lot with empaths as they pick up OTHER PEOPLES energy and feelings and sometimes go for years without being aware that is what they are doing. They too are often surprised when everything is going well, yet suddenly for no apparent reason they feel sad !

    In my studies with the Emotion Code/Body Code, Dr. Brad states and gives personal examples where you can even develop trapped emotions that aren’t yours!

    Again, forgive me if I’m totally off base. I’ll admit this is kind of like jumping into the middle of someone’s conversation without really knowing what they are talking about. But your ‘not knowing why’ comment jumped out at me.

      I get that same feeling, Linda! Thanks for sharing that with Lorna!

  • Nancy Antia

    Dear Elisa, Lorna, Paul, Iola and Patrick,

    Thanks for the love! I read each one of your posts twice last night and I cried and cried. I’m going to print your words and leave them where I can see them everyday. No kidding, you’ll never know how deep you’ve touched my heart. I love you all.

    Be blessed,

      Hey, you’re family. It’s what we do, Girl! If nothing else comes from our work here, the love and support we have for each other is enough.

  • Lorna

    I’m a right numpty sometimes, just realized that you drill into the reply under the person’s name you want to directly give a message to.

    Linda thanks for the words its really interesting. Feeling sad when things are going well is something I can relate to.
    I went through a lot of abuse, mental/physical/sexual and to be honest the more I have investigated the damage this can do the worse I started to get, the anger that someone owuld do this as overwhellemed me. I sometimes wish I stayed ignorant. I have achknowledged that I was meant to go through this and chose my parents and it makes me feel less angry but then I am left with empty inside…this can be tedious and boring so when at times the anger visits its a relief to SHOUT, sorry about that.

    Anyway Linda I am looking into getting some answers from spirit to see if I can know where the root of this depression stems from

    The first time I read through this one, I busted out laughing at the P-E-A-C-E comment. I could just imagine listening to someone say it and spell it with some drama and inflection behind it. :0)

    What caused me to remember this post again was a visit this week with a college friend of mine. We’ve both been neglectful and keeping up with each other for years, and finally got the chance to chat while I was on a business trip in the city he lives in.

    As we talked, I was trying to keep in context the struggles he and his wife have experienced and wondered what was there for them to pull from it. I was also trying to remember some of the things I’ve read on here.

    Their first child is a healthy, happy little girl. Some time later, their second was born extremely premature and struggled for his life for quite a while before finally passing on. Those were some tough times and I recalling reading about it on an internet blog (can’t remember the site right now). But the discussion made me think of the question posed about babies and preemies and the information that souls deciding they weren’t ready for this world sometimes opt to get out that way.

    Anyway, after dealing with that loss, the couple eventually had another child in the past year, and she’s now a one year old with Down’s Syndrome. Upon hearing that, the words “that sweet soul is just here for a little fucking peace… P-E-A-C-E” went through my mind and it gave me a smile that I had to hide during our chat. I also didn’t share that thought with him(didn’t think he’d know how to take it), but wanted to share it here since this site is what made me think of it.

    I know they will have their struggles as well as many joyous moments, and I can only assume it’s for the advancement of their own selves.

    And sometimes, I know we all could use a little peace… P-E-A-C-E! :0)
