March 2010
Hi everyone:
I'm going to make lemonade out of lemons. Why not? There is enough lemons ripe on the trees right now. So here it is. I just lost the entire newsletter after writing for 3 hours, and I don't want to start all over. It was a really good newsletter too. At least I enjoyed it until it decided that invisibility suited it better. Talk about Spring forward....this was 2 weeks early and these great stories sprung write off my page. I haven't a clue how to invite them to re-form in this time and space. I guess I better work more on my DNA3 exercises like when I invited my pencil to bend after the force field was pulled off. I just didn't know that my writing had such an easy force field and that it would release its form into cyberspace...which is part of creation...right?! I'm sure it teleported somewhere but it's not coming back now. If you see a different version of this newsletter in a few weeks, you know that the stories found a solid grounding place. I kept hearing that I should have saved it in Word, but I didn't listen. Hmmmm...ok...I get it. So you'll get a quick watered-down version of what I wrote because it's already 12:30 AM in starting again. Please enjoy the really wonderful videos and articles that I've researched below also.
The relationship workshop/practicum in February triggered everyone, so to me it went quite well...there was plenty to work on but just not enough time. How do you fit a 2 day workshop in 4 hours? It brought up issues what is a healthy, functional relationship and what we want to look at in the relationships that we are now participating in (the qualities we want in relationships, how is it really working for us, do we feel heard, respected, are we able to speak our truth, and be seen for who we are).
One particular trigger that sprung up was around thinking it was not permissable to even have needs. Needs were collapsed with neediness which wasn't allowed in some families. We discussed what primary needs are reaching into Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. Sidnee, my dear friend, had read an old book called "Self Esteem-A Family Affair" that had different grouped ages of childhood development& their needs with affirmations to help support these vital awarenesses. We decided that it would be easy to turn these affirmations into Creator's teachings and change the affirmations/beliefs if needed. So below are the parent's viewpoint first, and in bold and brackets are the child or inner child viewpoint. Test your self to see if you are stuck at any of these levels and dig if necessary.
Don't forget to Spring forward in this time and space on March 15th at 2 AM.
Many Blessings,
Judy

HUMAN WONDERS
Stephen Wiltshire is a 36 year old autistic savant…drawing detailed buildings and cityscapes from memory after only viewing it for only 15 minutes. Amazing!

Two other savants: Daniel whose epileptic seizures allowed him to see the patents inside of numbers and do massive calculations since he was 4; and the other, Orlando, who was hit on the side of the head with a baseball, can remember the day of the week with a date and the weather on those dates since his accident.

THE BODY
Do Our Organs Have Memories? Is part of an organ donor’s personality also transferred to the recipient in a transplant? Yes, contends Pearsall in his book “The Heart’s Code”, which provides other remarkable examples of transplanted hearts with memories. Cells communicate this information to each other electromagnetically. Thus a transplanted organ can continue to broadcast old information, something like amputees’ experience of pain in lost limbs. Phenomena like these suggest cells have memories .http://www.24medica.com/content/view/2287/2/
Abstract Thoughts? The Body Takes Them Literally Researchers at the University of Aberdeen found that when people were asked to engage in a bit of mental time travel, and to recall past events or imagine future ones, participants’ bodies subliminally acted out the metaphors embedded in how we commonly conceptualized the flow of time. As they thought about years gone by, participants leaned slightly backward, while in fantasizing about the future, they listed to the fore. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/02/02/science/02angier.html

Second-hand electro-magnetic ‘smoke’
As more and more people are using cell phones and wireless communications of any type, and the amount of data being transmitted to and from these devices are rapidly increasing, the production of second-hand electro smoke an issue we can no longer ignore. Have a better understanding of this condition and how to avoid the radiation.
Senomyx is re-inventing food and flavor by genetically engineering taste bud receptor cell triggers. Chemical sugar-replicating compounds are listed on food labels. The new chemicals made by biotech companies will require no such labels. Although they are not actual flavors, they will be called "artificial flavors." A (multi-hour) review of their patents reveals that it all began with the cloning of human embryonic kidney cells. Step two was a recombinant process involving the combination of genetic material from embryonic kidney cells and human adeno-virus. Senomyx is presently developing new products with many of the world's largest food manufacturers including Campbell's and Coca Cola. In fact, if you eat Nestle's foods, your taste buds are being artificially stimulated by biotech products developed by Senomyx.
Can you avoid eating foods from China? Experts say that is pretty much impossible. In June, the United States banned five types of fish and shrimp from China because inspectors found traces of cancer-causing chemicals and antibiotics in the products. The United States requires labels on seafood to mark where it came from. However, that's the exception. With most foods, companies are not required to label where ingredients come from, only where the food was packaged or processed. That means it is possible a frozen dinner, for example, could have 20 different ingredients from 20 different countries….The biggest food imports from China are Apple Juice, Mandarin oranges, confections/candy, dried garlic, cocoa butter, dry berries, sausage casings from hog guts, stomach & bladders. " The Chinese have a long way to go to bring their standards up to ours," he says. . You can lower your chances of eating foods with Chinese products by staying away from all processed foods and eating fresh "whole foods," such as fruits and vegetables.

Lectin is a defense mechanism for the wheat plant, designed to ward of its natural enemies such as fungi and insects. Unfortunately, this protein is also very resistant to breakdown by living systems, and it easily accumulates in tissues where it interferes with normal biological processes and acts as an anti-nutrient. Typically, the “danger” is blamed on gluten, a protein most commonly found in wheat, rye and barley. Lectins are resistant to sprouting, fermenting or digestion, interferes with gene expression, disrupts endocrine function, adversely affects gastrointestinal function, and shares similarities with certain viruses.

SCIENCE
Stem cells help cure blindness
A stem cell treatment developed in Newcastle has restored good vision to eight people who had lost sight in one eye. The new technique – developed at the North East England Stem Cell Institute – involves taking a small biopsy from the cornea of the patient’s good eye and multiplying its stem cells several hundredfold in the lab with a special culture system. When the cells are transplanted back into the damaged eye, they restore the damaged cornea. The technique could help thousands of people who suffer severely impaired vision through a condition known as Limbal Stem Cell Deficiency. This is caused by damage to the surface of the cornea, caused by disease, chemical burning or physical injury.

Shrimp's Dirty Secrets: Why America's Favorite Seafood Is a Health and Environmental Nightmare The next biggest sources of U.S. shrimp are Ecuador, Indonesia, China, Mexico, Vietnam, Malaysia and India. The shrimp pond preparation begins with urea, superphosphate, and diesel, then progresses to the use of piscicides (fish-killing chemicals like chlorine and rotenone), pesticides and antibiotics (including some that are banned in the U.S.), and ends by treating the shrimp with sodium tripolyphosphate (a suspected neurotoxicant), Borax, and occasionally caustic soda.Upon arrival in the U.S., few if any, are inspected by the FDA, and when researchers have examined imported ready-to-eat shrimp, they found 162 separate species of bacteria with resistance to 10 different antibiotics. Advice to consumers right now is "only buy shrimp that you know comes from a sustainable source. http://www.alternet.org/story/145369/

Solar-powered cyborg beetles tested for spying purposes
A research team led by Hirotaka Sato and Michel Maharbiz at the University of California, Berkeley, has created implantable bio-interfaces i.e. the electrodes and tiny radio antennae, to stimulate the nervous and muscular systems of cyborg beetles via a remote. The solar cells and piezo-electrics that harvest energy from movement power the electrodes. You could see these beetles developing into micro air vehicles (MAVs) for spying purposes in the near future. (video on page)

Machine Translates Thoughts into Speech in Real Time
By implanting an electrode into the brain of a person with locked-in syndrome, scientists have demonstrated how to wirelessly transmit neural signals to a speech synthesizer. The "thought-to-speech" process takes about 50 milliseconds - the same amount of time for a non-paralyzed, neurologically intact person to speak their thoughts. The study marks the first successful demonstration of a permanently installed, wireless implant for real-time control of an external device.
