Antioxidants are important for protecting cells from getting damaged by free radicals because they can neutralize free radicals by donating one of their own electron. Free radicals are basically molecules that had loss an electron. Molecules with an unpaired electron are very reactive because they are out of balance. Therefore, they like to bounce around the body and steal electrons from other molecules. This can cause a chain reaction within the body that can damage cells and DNA. Free radicals are one of the major causes of cancer and chronic diseases. According to independent researchers, over 95 percent of Americans don’t consumed enough selenium. They suggested that if Americans increased their selenium intakes to about 200 microgram (mcg) per day, they would reduce their cancer cases by nearly 50 percent or more. Some researchers even suggested that selenium can reverse the symptoms of AIDS. You can read more about it here.
One of the features that makes selenium very effective at fighting cancer is that it stimulates the body to produce a powerful enzyme called glutathione peroxidase. This enzyme protects the body by reducing oxidative damage which is one of the core causes of cancer. Glutathione peroxidase also helps the body to detoxify environmental toxins, such as heavy metals, phthalates and pesticides. Because selenium has such strong antioxidant properties, people who have low levels of selenium have higher risks of cancer, poorer resistance to viruses and bacteria, and lower levels of T-cells. To increase your selenium intake, add Brazil nuts in your daily diet because they are excellent sources of selenium. You can also take selenium supplement but make sure they are high quality. Selenium supplements that are made with chelated minerals are usually the best.

One of the key signs for menopause is the cessation of menstruation cycles. Most women usually get menopause around the age of 50. Depending on genetics and lifestyle, some women can achieve menopause earlier or later than age 50. Toxins such as xenoestrogens, pesticides and heavy metals can increase the risk for premature menopause. Other factors such as unhealthy diet, stress, infection, immune dysfunction and radiation can also increase the risk. If you are having problems with premature menopause or worrying about it, the seven nutrients listed below should help reduce some of your problems and stress.
Seven nutrients for menopause:
Magnesium plus calcium: Magnesium and calcium is important for reproductive health. Magnesium helps relax muscle in the uterus and calcium helps alleviate cramps. For best results use magnesium citrate and calcium citrate. Nutritionists recommend taking 300 mg of magnesium and calcium twice per day.
Vitamin C: A strong antioxidant that helps keep free-radicals in check. Free-radicals are responsible for many diseases and premature aging. Vitamin C also helps reduce hot flashes. Nutritionists recommend taking 1,000 mg twice daily.
Vitamin E: Protects cell and DNA, increases blood flow and reduces hot flashes. Nutritionists recommend taking 400 IU daily.
DIM (Diindolylmethane): Helps eliminate excess estrogens and balance hormone levels. Nutritionists recommend taking two capsules daily.
Chaste Tree: Beneficial for proper hormone secretion, PMS and hot flashes. Nutritionists recommend taking 180 mg daily.
Dong Quai: Helps relieve hot flashes and vaginal dryness, and balance estrogen levels. Nutritionists recommend taking 10-20 drops of Dong Quai tincture daily.
Image provided by Marcus Light is one of the strangest energies in the Universe because it can manifest into anything. When we break our bodies down to the fundamentals, they are made of nothing but condensed light. Remember Albert Einstein’s equation e=mc2? Everything that has mass (m) has energy (e) and light (c) is energy. His equation isn’t complete but still does an good job explaining how energy, mass and light are related. Because our bodies have mass, they also are made of light and energy. The physical parts of our bodies are nothing more than illusions created by our consciousness. In other words, our bodies are projections of light and are focused into existence by our consciousness. Therefore, the types of light we surround ourselves with can affect our bodies in positive or negative ways.
Sunlight
Light emitted from the sun contains full spectrum light, which consists of radio, microwave, infrared, visible, ultraviolet, X-rays and gamma rays. Full spectrum light affects people differently than artificial light because artificial light doesn’t contain all the necessary elements of light. Although, there are companies that can artificially create full spectrum light by using special fluorescent tube. Artificial full spectrum lighting does a good job mimicking sunlight but isn’t as strong. Sunlight is great for boosting our energy and health, but if we exposed ourselves to too much sunlight, it can cause sunburn and even cancer. To reduce the risk of sunburn, limit sun exposure to 30 minute or less for every two hours. The light spectrums that are most beneficial to us are visible and ultraviolet A, B and C. The ones that are most hazardous to us are X-rays and gamma rays. Sunlight is needed by our bodies to produce vitamin D which is important for boosting immunity and cell health. Sunlight synchronizes well with our energies; therefore, it stimulates all the systems of our bodies. This is one of the reasons why we feel more energized when we expose ourselves to sunlight.
Artificial light
Light emitted from regular incandescent and fluorescent bulb aren’t healthy for our bodies, because they don’t contain full spectrum light, and their energies vibrate at certain frequencies that don’t synchronize well with our energies. Regular incandescent and fluorescent bulb produce mostly yellow, orange and red light. Studies have shown that yellow light, emitted from regular incandescent and fluorescent bulb, is not good for our eyes because it can cause contractions within the nerves of our eyes. This also applies to other nerves of our bodies. Hence, when we surround ourselves with these types of light, we usually get eyestrain, stress, fatigue, depress and our immune system weakens. If you experience a lot of migraine and eyestrain from working in your room or office, try changing your regular light bulb to full spectrum light bulb. This can reduce your migraine and eyestrain. One of the worst places to put regular incandescent and fluorescent bulb is in classroom. The light frequencies emitted from them decrease students’ learning abilities. If full spectrum light bulb was required in every school, students’ grade would jump half a grade or more because they wouldn’t have to worry about eyestrain, stress and fatigue.

Many of us believe that the mind is part of the brain, but the mind is actually separated from the brain, because it is a system that is beyond physicality. Although, at the energetic level, the mind, brain and body are interconnected. The mind is part of the intellect, self-awareness and consciousness field of who we are. This system is where thinking truly occurs. If thinking was happening only in our brains, we would be like robots because the human brain cannot tell the difference between what it sees and what it remembers. In other words, it acts like a computer chip. A computer chip has the ability to process information but cannot think. This is similar to how the brain works.
Even though our minds are separate from our bodies, the state at where their energies vibrate will affect our bodies because they are interconnected. Thought is one of the main entities that affects the state of our minds, because it can decrease or increase the vibrational rate of our minds.
Below is an excerpt from my book Staradigm about how to discipline your mind.
To discipline your mind, you need to learn how to control your thoughts and direct them toward positive intentions. A good way to start is by changing your thought patterns to support positive attitudes. A positive attitude affects your thought pattern in a constructive way. Positive thoughts call forth inner peace, while negative thoughts disturb inner peace. The more positive thoughts you have, the more your mind will be at peace, reducing stress and negative emotions. Stress and negative emotions are two of the biggest contributors to disturbing your mind.
In some situations, positive thinking may not permanently solve problems related to stress and emotional problems. In this case, it may be wise to explore your mind more deeply to find the source of the problem. One major misconception we have regarding negative emotions and stress is that we believe the person or thing causing our distress is the source of our problems. In reality, the main reason we are upset is because we do not understand our emotions. In other words, the main source of our emotional problems is internal and not external. Once we understand the root cause of our emotional problems, whenever we experience them again, we will not be upset by them because we will have overcome the underlying cause of our problems.
A great way to find out if you have a discipline mind or not is to meditate. If you have a hard time calming your mind during meditation, your mind is not discipline enough. One of the main things that prevents your mind from becoming discipline is distraction. Since you were a child, your brain and mind have been stimulated with all types of subliminal and non-subliminal messages. Many of these messages are designed to hypnotize your subconscious and conscious mind by changing their thought patterns. The main mediums used for this are: TV, computer, music player, radio, magazine, book and newspaper. Many of the messages embedded into these mediums are designed to distract your mind and reduce the connection between your body, mind and spirit.
Subliminal messages are great at changing your thought patterns to the way advertisers want you to think. Advertising agencies are well aware of how subliminal messages work, which is why they spent millions of dollars on these type of ads. The video clip below does a great job exposing the tricks that advertising agencies used in their subliminal ads.
Subliminal Sex Messages and Pornography in Advertising
Why are advertising agencies so obsess with subliminal messages. The main reason is because they want to brainwash you into thinking like how they want you to think. Sex is one of the most popular subliminal messages which is why it is found in most TV and magazine ads. Do you now realize why people are so addictive to sex? Once you learn how subliminal messages work, you will realize that you have been brainwashed from the beginning. A lot of these subliminal advertisements are designed to target kids because they are the easiest to brainwash.
To start reversing this process, reduce your time watching certain TV programs that are distracting. Also, music that are distracting should be reduced as much as possible. For magazine and book, read the ones that give you knowledge of self-empowerment. These magazines and books will usually contain information that is not found in mainstream media and may be contradicting. When you read a book or magazine that feels contradicting to your beliefs, it is usually a sign that you are reprogramming your mind. The reason for this is because the knowledge in it is helping your subconscious mind unravel the blindfold that has been placed upon you since childhood. This type of knowledge will help raise your energy vibration; therefore, it increases your connection and awareness between your mind, body and spirit.
Meditation also helps determine your state of mind but discipline it as well. The art of meditation is not hard as long as you learn to reduce distractions. If you are having a hard time meditating because of distracting thoughts, concentrate on your breathing, repeat a mantra or listen to meditation music. Once you learn how to use this natural tool to discipline your mind, you will become less stress, your health and energy will increase, and you will have better control of your thoughts and emotions.
