1. NEWS AND COMMENT

 

* WELCOME

Welcome to the very first issue of the Sannyasin Newsletter. Be sure to save this somewhere safe. First issues have a habit of increasing dramatically in value over the years. This could become a collector's item .. . (just kidding).

It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to our growing community of souls who want to help raise human consciousness and make a difference in the world. If you have any comments about this newsletter, either its content or its format, I would really like to receive them so as to serve you better in the future.

 

Recently I had a recurrence of my intestinal problem. The condition is known as Diverticulosis, and when it becomes inflamed (and painful) it is known as Diverticulitis (anything with "itis" on the end means inflamed i.e. tonsillitis, appendicitis). After extensive tests both in the doctor’s surgery and in the hospital, the specialist pronounced his diagnosis and remedy.

 

"You have Acute Diverticulitis, and this is not the first time. Take these Antibiotics for 5 days. When everything calms down, come back for more tests and fix an appointment with me. The tests will show me which part of your intestines I need to cut out".   

"Wait a minute", said I, somewhat dismayed, "What about an alternative approach. You know, a holistic approach. One that treats the whole person"

"I don't know anything about that. I am a surgeon. You must have the operation before it's too late. Next time your intestinal wall might burst and you could die. The sooner I operate the better. My secretary will fix an appointment for you"

"Yes, but can you at least tell me what causes Diverticulitis?"

"There is no medical proof. We don't really know".

"So you are not interested in treating the cause of this condition, simply cutting out part of the offending organ. If you don't treat the cause, then it might come back again, and I might need another operation".

"Surgery is the normal way to treat this condition. OK? See you in three weeks".

 

With that the surgeon left. I went home and immediately began to research Diverticulitis on the internet. I was convinced that I could cure myself. If the human body can replace virtually every one of its billions of cells on a regular basis, then surely, if I can help my body by creating the right conditions, then it will heal itself. Perfect health is the normal condition for the human body to be in, and it is this condition that our bodies are programmed to create and maintain. The medical profession treat the results of an holistic imbalance by either chopping bits of the body out, or pumping the body full of chemicals - most of which have not been adequately and thoroughly tested for side-effects. Did you know that the number 4 killer in the USA is people dying from the side effects of the drugs they take for their illnesses?  I also found out that after having part of their intestines cut out, in 25% of cases, repeat surgery is necessary. Another reason for me to find a way of genuine healing this condition.  

 

My research lead me to two websites that deserve a mention here.  The first concerns what is called "Cellular Medicine" and the founder is Dr. Rath. Based upon the same premise, that given the right conditions then the human body will heal itself, Dr. Rath has formulated several supplements which contain only vitamins, minerals and trace elements. His research shows that with the western diet, we simply cannot provide our bodies with all of the vitamins they need for optimum performance, His results have often been spectacular. Take a look for yourself at:

Dr. Rath also lays bare the huge lies and manipulation practiced by the pharmaceutical industries whose real agenda is to have more sick people so that they can sell more drugs. What is very concerning is that the pharmaceutical industry would now like to control the food supplement industry as well (vitamins, and other natural supplements). If they win, and they are trying to get this through the UN at the moment,

then they will have a monopoly, another cartel, on the production and distribution of vitamins. The ultimate objective (unbelievable though this sounds) being to stop the sale of things which allow the body to heal itself and things which promote good health. A healthy population is contrary to their interests. A sick population is in their interests, especially of this population has become dependant on their unlimited supply of noxious chemicals, which they call medication. Read it for yourself on the web site.

 

The other website which makes for startling reading is:

Read through here and you will never eat meat again. Ever wanted a reason to become a vegetarian? Read on. He also explodes the myths and lies propagated by both the pharmaceutical and meat industries in the USA. Animal meat is extremely bad for you.

 

So I have changed my diet to vegetarian, plus more fruit (especially apples), and sent off for Dr. Rath's vitamin supplements. Next thing is to order a juicer so that I can juice my vegetables and eat my fruit. In two weeks, the Diverticulitis has returned to its more comfortable Diverticulosis state, I feel great, and have told the surgeon that he will have to wait a bit longer before he can engrave my name on his scalpel. Watch this space . .
