Healthful Hints

            Overcoming Addictions Naturally

“Why should I quit smoking, when it relaxes me?”. “Why should I quit drinking, when it kills the pain of living alone in this difficult world ?”. “If I quit smoking, then I’ll just trade addictions and eat, gaining weight?”. “I enjoy sex…it is the greatest natural high on this planet. You have to be kidding if you think I’m addicted to sex”. “I do cocaine and crack occasionally to give me energy and to keep me thin. I could not keep up with my workaholic habits and the fast-paced world without them”. “Marijuana helps keep me calm and centered. It kills the pain of living responsibly and expands my mind, so that I am more creative…and it lets me have fun”. “Binging on food makes me feel calm and the fat protects me from being “hit on” by the opposite sex”. 

These are all just some of the excuses/reasons for holding on to one’s addictions that I have heard in my hypnotherapy practice. I am empathetic.  However, know that we do have the ability to “choose” what we want in life. Choice is freewill and a gift from God. Hopefully, in the upcoming year, we will all finally resolve, decree or “choose” to beat our individual addictive patterns. Remember, “choosing” conciously the same right choice over and over will eventually lead us to accomplishing our goals. And accomplishing our individual true missions, using our true talents is what our goals are for 2001. This year let God’s true plan unfold for you by stepping up to the plate and “choosing” to engage in a clean, detoxified life with a clear, strong body, mind and spirit.

Spiritual Reasons for Overcoming Addictions

Before I delve into recommending natural remedies to help curb physical cravings, I would like to share with you three spiritual reasons for beating addictions. They can be found in examining a couple of cases of people who have experienced the near-death experience. Their stories are profound.

In Dr. George Ritchie’s biography, My Life After Dying, he describes being taken to various realms of the after-life by Jesus after “dying due to a case of pneumonia, while attending boot camp when he was 19”. In one scene of his near-death experience, young George was taken by Jesus to a bar, where he witnessed “from the other side” the patrons of the bar heartily imbibing. He noticed that the spiritual auras or energy fields of those who were drinking became dimmer, smaller, and weaker as they continued to drink. Worse yet, spirits on the other side, who had not previously overcome their addictions to drinking before passing on, hovered closely above the drinkers, waiting for the opportunity to “jump into” the spiritual energy fields of the drinkers back on earth. This is the only way the addictive spirits could again “feel” what it was like to be drunk again. Why do you think they call alcoholic beverages “spirits”??

Spirit invasion could be the reason why we experience negative “personality and mood shifts” when drinking. We are actually “possessed” by spirits who have not overcome their addictions to alcohol. Dr. Ritchie also went on to give a similar example of spirits hovering over a smoker, waiting to jump in. I am sure the situation is likewise for overeaters, and substance abusers.

In my soon-to-be-released biography, Corporate Mentality to Spiritual Reality, I begin the book with my friend Sharon relating her near-death experience to me.  She told me how she met Jesus in the afterlife after suffering a nearly fatal asthma attack in 1994. He explained to her the four structures of the body, (physical, emotional, mental and spiritual bodies). He told her that in order to overcome addictions, one must hold stronger positive thoughts in their mental and spiritual bodies, so as to overcome the desires and cravings of the physical and emotional bodies. She was also told that overcoming addictions is easiest while incarnated in the physical body, and that we will attain higher spiritual evolvement if we do learn these lessons while in the physical body. Nothing could be worse, from my perspective, than to spend eternity in the same abusive soul group repeating some addictive pattern. This would be pure hell, as we know that we really are abusing ourselves and are miserable while repeating our particular habits and patterns. 

If you refer to my biography under “speakers” from our LightStreamers home page, you will see that I experienced a lengthy light experience in 1994. This mystical experience gave me knowledge of alternative medicine from God. Other aftereffects of the experience rendered me psychic. Since then, I have done thousands of readings contacting the deceased. Throughout my work involving people who have committed suicide, the vast majority of “other-siders” claim that the reason they took their lives was that they were in an addictive, repetitive, hellish type of situation here on earth. Many say they felt like were in a hamster cage going around and around and couldn’t find their way out. Unfortunately, they will have to reincarnate again and go through the same situations, until the lessons are finally learned or the addiction is overcome.

Hypnosis for Overcoming Addictions

Being a certified hypnotherapist myself, I highly recommend hypnosis for overcoming addictions. Unfortunately hypnosis has undergone a bad rap in the past, with performances and demonstrations in comedy clubs and bars portraying the hypnotist as having “special powers” over his subjects… making them cluck like chickens and doing various other comedy-provoking acts. In real hypnosis, the therapist will have no control or power over your thoughts. You will not go into an unconscious state or be “out-of-control”. Rather, you are led through your subconscious. Think of the therapist as a tour guide. Find a good, certified hypnotherapist who specializes in overcoming addictions and attend several sessions.

In a good hypnotherapy session, the therapist will interview you, getting a good case history, and perhaps do time-line regression analysis, where you are taken back to the time you started the addiction. You examine the traumas and causes for the problem in the first place and then go to the time period before or after the problem began… replacing the original “bad” feelings with “good” feelings. Once all of the traumas are identified and dealt with, positive “suggestions” with healthy patterns are repeated into your subconscious so that you remember the positive response before indulging in your addiction again. The addiction is thus broken.

Undergoing hypnosis is also a great way to train your mind to relax and a great way to learn how to meditate.

Emotional Trauma Clearing

I use a combination of time-line regression analysis with energy clearing work and my psychic abilities to help those with addictive behaviors. If clients are unable to remember a trauma or the trauma has occurred in a past-life, I can usually recall and clear the event for them. I clear all events happening in this life, past-lives, parallel universes and dimensions and future realities relating to the trauma. I call my method Positive/Negative Replacement Therapyä and can work with clients to clear their problems over the telephone. Other emotionally traumatic problems and conditions, aside from addictions, can also be healed using this methodology. Please e-mail me at dawnawolfe@yahoo.com if you would like to schedule a session with me. 

Bach flower essences can also be used to help clear the emotional field. The essence Agrimony can be used to overcome the condition of addictive behaviors and when hiding problems behind a humorous or brave face. A couple of drops under tongue can be taken before bedtime for 22 days. Agrimony can be combined with other Bach Flower essences to break addictive patterns. When Agrimony is combined with the flower essence, Holly, (which positively converts hatred or jealously conditions), the person will overcome a lifetime compulsion to being jealous. When combined with Crabapple, one can overcome a lifetime of obsessive self-disgust and self-hatred. Agrimony with combined with Pine, can help overcome a tendency to hold guilt obsessively. Agrimony with Vine will remedy repeating rigid thinking patterns and domineering states. Agrimony with Chicory can help to overcome a lifetime of over-neediness or constantly needing or requiring attention or romantic love from others. To overcome an overly large ego, a combination of Agrimony, Heather (know-it all), Water Violet (aloof) can be applied externally to the back of the neck and front of the throat. This would do well for anyone recovering from alcohol addictions, as flower essences are preserved in alcohol, and even the slightest amount taken internally could re-trigger the addiction.

Vibrational Medicine 

When I speak of ”vibrational medicine” what do I mean? The easiest example to give is of water. When water is frozen into solid ice, the molecules stop vibrating or moving. When we heat up water to boiling, the molecules vibrate or move faster, as the energy of the heat makes them move more rapidly. When the water boils so fast that it starts to turn into steam and evaporate, the molecules are vibrating at a very fast and positive rate.

Herbs, essential oils, flower essences, and crystal waters, are of very high vibrational energy. They work by increasing the vibrational rate of a particular part of the body, so that negative states can be transmuted to positive and various conditions can be healed.

A unique line of products by a company called Infinity, utilize this concept in their products. Formulated by an enlightened person from Australia, the products work on the subtle energy body or aura of the body, raising it to a higher vibrational level and clearing negative states in the energy field. Over 300 products can be purchased to clear various states of dis-ease in the human condition, raising one to an enlightened, pain-free  state.

Particular waters are taken for various conditions. The water to clear alcohol addiction is called Alcohol Elixir. To rid one of the general addictive state one might use As Long as the Grass Grows. There is a Narcotics Elixor to clear narcotics, Hallucinogenic Elixor to clear LSD and other hallucinogens. Puff the Magic Dragon to clear marijuana and smoking addictions, Tobacco Elixor to clear nicotine addictions. These divine waters are available at $55.00 each through contacting Eleanor Meiswinkle at 908-359-7773.

Physical Detox and Clearing

The following general formula is recommended to support the physical body in its healing/detox process. Source of Life multivitamins by Nature’s Plus are green tablets to be taken 2-3 per day. Drink 10 glasses of water per day to flush out toxins and a high fiber diet.

ALCOHOL DETOX

 Also, an additional source of B-complex or a B-complex stress formula such as Stress B-Complex by Twin Labs is helpful if detoxing from alcohol addiction. I recommend 200 mg of CoQ10 /day for 1 month plus 300mg/day Pantothenic Acid, 50 mg Zinc, 1000 mg Bioflavinods/day and 3-10,000 mg of Vit C per day. Flaxseed oil 2 TBS. per day is recommended as well as. Silymarin, 3 caps per day by Twin labs helps to flush out the liver, as well as Dandelion root capsules, 2-3perday. Also the Echinacea and Goldenseal Combo from Foremost Vitamins to clean out the bloodstream and boost the immune system helps much.

 Finally, a product called Kudzu Power from Nature’s Herbs helps to curb cravings. A free-form amino acid complex can be taken to aid in withdrawal symptoms. 500 mg cysteine/day helps as well as 3000 mg/day glutithione to protect the liver and prevent cravings.

·        Find a strong support system such Al-Anon, Alateen or seek help from professional counselors.

·        Go on a 10 day live juice fast to rid yourself of alcohol from your system.

·        Do not consume sugar. Alcoholics usually have a concurrent sugar metabolism problem, possibly diabetes.

·        Avoid situations, people and places where alcohol is usually consumed.

·        Avoid stress as much as possible.

GABA or gamma-amino butyric acid is a natural source amino acid, which inhibits neurotransmitters from over-firing. This supplement supports a calm relaxed state. This is manufactured by Twin Labs. Follow the dosages on the bottle.

NICOTINE DETOX

 I again recommend Source of Life multivitamins by Nature’s Plus to be taken as a general supplement. 2-3 green tablets are taken 2-3 per day. Drink 10 glasses of water per day to flush out toxins and add a high fiber diet.

Here are two excellent homeopathics to try when breaking your addiction. Smoking Withdrawal Relief from Natrabio, one tablet taken 3x/day or Stop It Smoking from Natrabio.

Keeping yourself in a calm, relaxed state is utmost in cutting this addiction. GABA, as mentioned above, is a great supplement to take to accomplish this. Also my personal favorite is the homeopathic drops by Enzymatic Therapy called Anti-Anxiety. This mixture calms a racing heart causing by anxiety and fear and gives one a centered feeling without sleepiness. A third alternative here is the Bach Flower Essence Rescue Remedy. Taken as needed under the tongue, this remedy helps to train you to remain calm under emotional stressful situations.

 SUBSTANCE ABUSE DETOX

Substance abuse cases should be referred to a certified Detox Center. Therapy is usually necessitated and it is most helpful if the client “wants” or “chooses” to be healed. The vitamin supplements above are recommended, and the above-mentioned calming homeopathics are very helpful. The most important part of this healing process is emotional trauma clearing and irradication. Hypnotherapy is also extremely useful. As are the divine waters listed above under vibrational medicine.         

 Again everyone, the goal is to remain in a peaceful, calm state no matter what happens.

 “Fear not and know that I am with you always, even unto the ends of the earth and even unto the end of time.” Meditate and calm yourself down, so that nothing aggravates you, and nothing (no thing) bothers your inner state of peacefulness and calmness.

 Eliminate all outside influences that disturb your inner peace including stressful jobs, lifestyles and people who aggravate your life. Worry is a useless waste of energy and is simply a meditation on a negative state.

 Smiles, Blessings and Strength to you in your Healing Process.

 Eternal Peace and Light,

Donna McGrath

Educator & Storyteller 

“A surprising experience— archaic, fresh, future, wild, refined, all at once.” 
-Gary Snyder 

“I’ve heard Wolf speak many times over the past decade, and he never fails to inspire, surprise, enlighten, and utterly fascinate his audience with his passionate insights, his raucous anecdotes, and his personal knowledge of environmental issues acquired thought years of grassroots activism.” 
-Christopher Manes 
author of Green Rage 

JESSE WOLF HARDIN (a.k.a. Lone Wolf Circles) is an acclaimed presenter, and the author of hundreds of magazine articles (Talking Leaves, Earthlight, Earthworks, and others) and a number of books including FullCircle: A Song of Earthen Spirituality (Llewellyn, ‘91) and Kindred Spirits: Sacred Earth Wisdom (SwanRaven, 2000). Most of the year Wolf is home on his enchanted New Mexico wildlife sanctuary instructing students and resident interns in wilderness restoration and Earth-centered spirituality. 

Possible presentation titles include "Earth & Spirit," "Gaia: Embracing the Living Earth," "Earth Eros: Gaian Sexuality & The
Erotics of Place," "Kindred Sprits: Animals as Informants," “Nature as Teacher,” “The Spiritual Heart of Environmentalism,” “Earth Centered Education,” "Reenchantment & Primal Mind," "Reinhabiting Body, Place, & Present Time," and “Reindigination: Deepening Sense of Place.” 

Wolf promotes personal healing/whole-ing— the conscious return to the responsibilities of relationship and wholeness.  Wolf delves into the overlap of human psychology and ecological realities, primal mind and personal rewilding, sentience and spirituality, activism and sense of place, wilderness restoration and the “reinhabitation of our sensate bodies, our highest purpose, our immediate bioregion.... and of vital present time.” He scrutinizes modernist education, offering “a new model for teaching and being, in reciprocal relationship with the instructive natural world.” Wolf’s audiences are inevitably informed, inspired and animated by his words. We’re provoked not only to think more, but to feel more— empowered to actualize our authentic beings, and begin the process of fulfilling our deepest purpose. 

“And if we are very quiet,  Pan comes out of hiding & teaches us the will of the land.” 
-Bill Devall 

JESSE WOLF HARDIN teaches that “all psychological, social and environmental imbalance is the result of our imagined, cultivated sense of separation from the living, breathing world.” He calls on our subdued animal instincts and cellular memories, for the purpose of reintegration and “right living.” His lessons combine modern Gaian theory with ancient panracial wisdom, personal stories of wilderness experience and environmental activism with scientific facts. Within a matter of minutes he goes from deep drama and ravaging truths, to telling incredibly hilarious stories that illustrate a particular point. 

HARDIN raises the energy level of any venue he’s made a part of, and because of this he makes an  ideal “wrap-up” or “keynote” speaker. The majority of his presentations result in standing, howling ovations! The participants inevitably describe themselves as being changed, engaged, inspired to experience their lives more intensely, and empowered to act in positive ways to cherish, improve and celebrate the world around them.

 Dr Len Horowitz

Public Health Authority Urges Inquiry in Foot-and-Mouth Slaughter:
Raises Spectre on Industrial Espionage

Sandpoint, ID ‹ Could the outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease effecting global beef markets be an act of industrial espionage rather than nature?
Could Tyson Foods Corporation, the world¹s leading meat supplier be behind the deadly slaughter? These are serious questions being raised by a leading American public health authority, Dr. Leonard Horowitz, a Harvard graduate and the author of several books on infectious diseases.

Many Americans can recall the hoopla over Hillary Clinton having made more than $100,000 virtually overnight in the swine futures market in 1998. The tip came from James Blair, chief counselor at Tyson Foods. The Springdale, Arkansas-based company showered gifts for favors upon Clinton administration officials including former Agriculture Secretary Mike Espy. Don Tyson was one of Bill Clinton¹s ³closest friends and biggest supporters,² according to grand jury testimony concerning Tyson political misconduct. Don Tyson was Bill Clinton¹s top fundraiser during his gubernatorial and presidential elections.

The grave possibility that the international foot-and-mouth disease outbreak stems from a Tyson plot is documented in Healing Codes for the Biological Apocalypse (Tetrahedron Press, 1999; ISBN: 0-923550-01-1) in which Dr. Horowitz explored little known facts about ³mad cow disease² outbreaks.
Suggesting a new form of ³bioterrorism² to facilitate what past CIA Director James Woolsy called ³industrial espionage,² Dr. Horowitz considered the fortuitous fear campaign that facilitated Tyson¹s takeover of the Hudson Beef Company in 1997 after the latter¹s stock dropped in value 35% due to an alleged E. coli contamination that was never confirmed. The doctor¹s suspicions were based on a review of a U.S. Congressional Record that showed E. coli had been one of the principle germs manipulated by the CIA, and James Woolsy¹s statement, ³With the end of the Cold War, the CIA must enter the era of economic [or industrial] espionage.² In the language of espionage, French columnist Paul Javanovic explained, this meant ³the CIA will henceforth do many services for American enterprises which take the trouble to ask it for Œhelp¹ in both counterespionage and espionage itself.² 
Regarding the foot-and-mouth outbreak, a similar ruse was proposed involving Tyson only months following their Hudson Beef takeover. This time it was a chicken influenza ³outbreak² in Asia. In December 1997, the Associated Press reported that a 60-year-old woman had died of ³suspected bird flu.² The U.S. Government immediately announced it would halt ³all chicken imports from China in a move to curb the spread of the virus.² Days later, pressured by the media and foreign governments, 1.2 million Asian chickens were slaughtered to allegedly prevent the flu from spreading to other countries and species.

³Few knew that prior to these events,² Dr. Horowitz wrote, ³Tyson was vying to bring the Asian poultry industry into its global monopolistic fold. The emergency primarily targeted Tyson¹s Asian competition  ‹mostly small chickenfarmers. What was most likely a CIA-directed ³outbreak² conveniently required the annihilation of Tyson¹s competitors. That would have been a very effective, albeit immoral, industrial espionage operation.²

On March 15, 2001, USA Today reported that Tyson Foods stands to gain most from the current foot-and-mouth disease problem. They had four times tried
to purchase America¹s leading beef supplier IBP Corporation, most recently for $3.2 billion, or $30 per share of stock valued at only $24.11. The international slaughter of cattle, the article said, was sure to reduce IBP profits making Tyson¹s offer even more appealing.

Dr. Horowitz, in support of the British Farmers for Action, is calling for an immediate halt to the slaughter of uninfected herds, and an investigation by the British government officials into the possibility that the entire foot-and-mouth disease outbreak was premeditated.
