Ear Health
Did you know that our ears continue to grow as we age? Two things you can do for ear health: 1. Massage of the ears is very healthy because the ears contain many reflexology points just like the feet and hands. These points help the body heal internally. 2. Have an ear coning--also called ear candling. Cones are placed in the ears and lit on the end several inches from the head. The smoke works as a type of vacuum to draw out excess wax and debris from ear infections or medications. Ear coning is very relaxing and helps with hearing problems, a build-up of ear wax and sinus problems. Read about facts at http://www.earcone.com/

Birds Teach us about our Hearing
A songbird that loses it hearing will stop singing. Just like humans, birds need to hear the sound of their own voice in order to carry a tune. Scientists discovered several years ago that birds and many other animals are able to regenerate nerve cells in their inner ears after they become damaged. If a bird is exposed to intense sound that damages the hair cells in the inner ear, it can hear again in three weeks. When a hair cell is destroyed in a bird, one of the supporting cells receives a signal to divide and it makes two cells.

The Power of our Words
Dr. Masaru Emoto, a Japanese scientist experimented with water by freezing it and talking to it. Because our bodies are mostly made up of water, he wanted to see the affect our words have on our bodies. He also played music to the water and some amazing crystal forms appeared. Music from composers like Mozart and Bach was whole-looking and beautiful. Heavy metal music was fragmented and muddy looking. A command like "Do it" turned into something that resembles a black hole. "Let's do it" looked like a beautiful, clear leaf. The most powerful words?

Fast Food Sales Climb
USA Today reports that 47% of money Americans spend on food will be spent in restaurants. A food development consultant and nutritionist states that we are geneticallly programmed to seek fat, sugar, and salt. Because we evolved in an environment that was lacking in these our brain has evolved to seek it out anywhere possible. Most consumers would rather indulge when they go out or take a pill rather than change eating habits to more healthy food consumption. Hamburgers and french fries continue to be the number one seller and continue to get bigger and bigger with more fat and calories. One burger contains 1,420 calories!
