P.S. Holy Poop – People are getting colds already this season. Beef up your immune system, NOW – the Get Well, Be Well, Stay Well Program shows you how. Stay healthy, please. You’re valuable.
I recommend Food Rules: An Eater's Manualby Michael Pollan, not just because it may make you laugh, but because it cuts through all the commercial claptrap on what to eat and how.
He has 64 rules with very simple explanations. Most rules, chapters, are only one page. It will leave you with simple memorable ideas that will serve you well when you’re at the store or the restaurant.
It could make you healthy and happily well fed. Good things, right?
Here Are Some More Examples from Michael Pollan's Food Rules for You
Rule 2 -- Don’t eat anything your great-grandmother wouldn’t recognize as food.
See? This cuts out all processed foods.
Rule 20 -- It’s not food if it arrived through the window of your car.
Rule 32 -- Don’t overlook the oily little fishes.
Why? They have good nutrients for your heart among other things, are plentiful, and because they are lower down the food chain they don’t contain as much mercury. Also, they can be yummy.
Rule 36 – Don’t eat breakfast cereals that change the color of your milk.
Rule 60 – Treat treats as treats.
When I have one treat, it tends to lead to a long sequence of treats. I binge. Most of the time I paraphrase the aphorism from AA – Don’t have the first cookie.
Rule 39 – Eat all the junk food you want as long as you cook it yourself.
On its own, this rule could repair the health of most Americans.
“The French fry did not become America’s most popular vegetable until industry took over the jobs of washing, peeling, cutting , and frying the potatoes – and cleaning up the mess.” Yeah, cleaning up the mess is right.
The same for fried chicken, chips, cakes, pies and ice cream.
I hope you enjoyed this book review of Michael Pollan’s Food Rules. Get the book, read it. Eat better and enjoy more.
I have a confession… I hate to point to difficult realities. I love to stay on the positive side. But here’s some hard truth.
Rocks are hard. And water is wet. And your life is uncertain.
The attacks on the Twin Towers and Pentagon along with the surprising worldwide Great Recession, will have driven this point home. Both were unpredicted, except in hindsight, of course.
So, how do you learn to navigate the global economic, social, political, and spiritual transformations taking place in an uncertain world?
When you inevitably come to the forks in your road, would you clearly like to know which path to take? Obviously, the answer is, “Yes!”
People have always wanted to live in alignment with the Sacred Flow of the Universe. They have wanted to be in harmony with the Divine Plan.
Naturally, you would like to be in more alignment with the unfolding path of the Sacred.
I call this - Living Intuitively.
When you Live Intuitively, you find synchronicity working for you more often. You find yourself in the right place at the right time. You experience the phenomenon of flow more often and more deeply.
It’s good. Your life flows. As a result, you’re happier and you live a life you love wholeheartedly – body and soul.
Here’s Your Problem
You cannot figure this stuff out with your rational mind. You can’t think your way through. You can’t think your way out of the problem.
So what can you do?
The Age Old Solution
Over the ages, people find that using oracles helps them to gain these insights. They get incredibly revealing answers.
The oracle guides them and aligns them with the Sacred.
Think of an Oracle as a device or process people use to gain insights into the flow of the universe, to breakthrough uncertainty.
Why have people, all over the world, relied on oracles? Clearly, it’s because they felt satisfied with their results. They defeated uncertainty. They aligned with the highest flows. Their lives felt richer. They felt they were able to actualize their highest potentials.
Today’s Solution – The Wizards handbook on Oracle Creation
The Wizard’s Handbook on Oracle Creation shows you how to create your own oracle system so you can gain insight into your life’s path at any moment. You can handle that fork in the road.
It’s the only book I know that shows you how to create your own personally designed and tuned oracle. It’s cool. It’s effective. And it’s fun.
Additionally, I show you how to use a bunch of other handy, fast, fun oracles that you’ll certainly love to play with and utilize.

So, this Zen priest, no, better, the abbot of the Zen temple says to me, “William, why don’t you give your Beat the Flu program away?” (The Be Well Get Well Stay Well Program.)

This comes from Kathy Rossol who contributes to the Open Doorway Reading Room section of the site.
My naturopathic doctor recommended an alternative drink to plain water, especially good when you’re fighting a cold or other respiratory bug. Cut a couple of lemon slices and throw into a mug. Roughly chop or slice fresh peeled ginger root, about 1 tsp. worth (more or less depending upon your spice preference) and add to mug. Pour boiling water over all to fill mug. You can add some honey if you have a sore throat or just need the energy. You can also squeeze in more lemon juice if you like the tart. Adjust quantities to match your taste. Try using lime slices for a milder citrus flavor.
My sister, a biodynamic ginger farmer in Hawaii, swears by ginger as a great cure-all, and it warms you right up when you’re feeling chilly.
