Michael Jackson

Michael Jackson most likely died from a dose of Demerol.

Demerol is a painkiller that blocks the pain signals in the body. Or, in other words, it disturbs the natural functioning of the autonomic nervous system, which controls the heartbeat. If Demerol blocks the messages of pain in the body, why would it not block the message to regulate the heartbeat? Clearly, it would lead to cardiac arrest at some point.

Some of the many side effects of Demerol are Cardiovascular: Flushing of the face, tachycardia, bradycardia, palpitation, hypotension, and syncope.

Demerol is a highly addictive. Demerol contains meperidine, a mu-agonist opioid with an abuse liability similar to morphine. MJ just needed some herb.

MJ would have benefited from an ayurvedic practitioner. Ayurveda has a variety of herbal combinations that are excellent for pain relief and anxiety without the toxic side effects: Nirgundi (Vitex negundo), Brahmi (Bacopa monniera-Folium), Manduparni (Gotu Kola), Guggulu (Comminphora mukul-resin), Bala (Sida Cordifolia), Ashwagandha (Withania somniferia), etc.

These herbs have been tried and tested for over 5000 years on humans. If they are still existing today, I would deem them a lot safer than a pharmaceutical drug that has been tested for a few years or even months on lab rats!

I am sure they are going to blame the doctor more than the pharmaceutical company. The doctor is merely a cog in the grander machine. Doctors are educated on the use of very toxic drugs in universities. They have no knowledge of safer treatment options. It is a backward system.

The long term effects of many of these drugs are unknown. How can a system of medicine allow this?

Divine Goddess

My friend sent a quote he read somewhere...

When the divine feminine, the goddess, is no longer revered, social and psychic structures become overmechanised, overpoliticized, overmilitarized. Thinking, judgement and rationality become the ruling factors. The needs for relatedness, feeling, caring or attending to nature go unheeded. There is no balance, harmony, neither within oneself nor the external world. With disregard to the archetypal image so related to passionate love, a splitting of values, a one-sidedness, occurs in the psyche. As a result, we are sadly crippled in our search for wholeness and health.

What is Ayurveda?

Ayurveda is a 5,000 year old system of healing that has its roots in India.  Ayur means life and Veda means knowledge.  Ayurveda is “the science of life,” or “the knowledge of living,” or “the art of longevity.” Ayurveda is a way of living, breathing, eating, cooking, thinking, sleeping, and a way to live in health and harmony with Nature.

Ayurveda is based on the laws of Nature. Nature teaches us about life and Her laws.  All life is made up of the same elements as in the universe. Earth is our body, water is the blood in our veins, fire is the heat in our body, air is our breath, and ether is the space in our atoms.  Every individual life is a microcosm of the entire Cosmos.  Ayurveda explains that the entire universe exists within us and states that the purpose of life is to realize the Creator within and without.

Ayurveda is a holistic medical science that serves to heal, maintain health, and longevity.
