If you would, please check it out. And if you like it, please vote for it. Squidoo is a weird site, they call the “blogs” “lenses” and it is a lot like a big blogging site, except that people need to be logged in to vote… you can view without logging in. And you need to have an account with squidoo to log in… duh. http://www.squidoo.com/distinctions

The whole issue of distinctions is a major one. For example, imagine that you are talking to a fish. You tell the fish… “the water is warm today”. To which the fish says: “What water?”

No, this is not a joke, this is actually a way to explain that there is a 24 ctu ringtones top ringtones. lot in your life that can’t see. And if you could see it, you would have more power. Maybe you could, finally, be successful, happy, thin, or whatever you desire.

For the fish to experience water, it needs to, even for a moment, jump out of the water, look down, and say “Sh*t, she was right! Water!” And splash back again.

So distinctions or distinguishing is about that which you can’t see. Once you see it, life alters, dramatically.

Alas, it is not just one thing that we don’t see, so stick around. I’ll deal with stuff that you can’t see… and I cause the “jumping out of water” for you, so you CAN see it, so you can benefit.

I may take on the name Distinctions Queen… I haven’t decided yet.

Happy New Year to you. With distinctions it can be happier. muah.

I was especially curious and also suspicious: there are about 30 HC coaches that this is their main training… they pay a pretty penny for their training. But does it work?

I got my first custom code about 2 years ago… and maybe because I didn’t believe it can work, I used it only a few times.

I got my second custom code a year ago… it was to deal with a muscle/joint pain. This time I was face to face with the HC coach, and received my code scribbled on a yellow pad…

That night I used it once and the pain simply disappeared. Amazing.

Two weeks ago I had an impossible task… and my “little voice” was screaming: “You can’t do it… you better just go and kill yourself!”

Now, it is not a common knowledge, but joint/muscle pain and this “I can’t do it” come from the same place. I did the custom code for 4 whole minutes. The little voice “shut up” and I aced the task… and my life will never be the same.

When you buy the healing codes home study course, it comes with 4~8 coaching sessions and that means 4~8 custome codes. They are each worth the price of the package. Go get it. And please don’t make the same mistakes I made… I have tested this for you, it works. Guaranteed.

This is coming from someone who has paid thousands of dollars on learning how to blog… But I am a perpetual learner, and besides the course is free. You can’t beat that.

The biggest kick I got out of the course is that it goes into details on how to monetize your blog, which is great information for my clients. And finally I got clear on a foggy spot for me: how to get links to your blog, and what trackbacks are… not an easy thing, especially because I can’t seem to find it on my wordpress blog.

I always recommend blogging to my business coaching clients, especially my public speaking clients. Blogging is a great way to provide free content and generate public awareness, start creating a network, find joint venture partners, etc. It is the greatest invention since the internet began.

Go get Mark Joyner’s free course… there is a catch: you have to have your own blog. If you don’t have one: this is your opportunity to start one. Get the course and create a blog that is fun, and will help you in your business, big time.

I’m evaluating a multi-media course on blogging from the folks at Simpleology. For a while, they’re letting you snag it for free if you post about it on your blog.

It covers:

• The best blogging techniques.
• How to get traffic to your blog.
• How to turn your blog into money.

I’ll let you know what I think once I’ve had a chance to check it out. Meanwhile, go grab yours while it’s still free.

I am just realizing that I have been selecting “soaring eagle” as my warrior name, and my possibility for eons. My soul was speaking to me that way, my all knowing. Because, though I was yearning to soar, I had no idea what was keeping me from soaring. Today I “unconcealed”, uncovered, saw for the first time, the self made shekels I have placed on myself.

So here is another picture of an eagle… so I never forget that I am now free.

So I am sharing my own experience of Pam Ragland’s work, “Quantum Thought Shifting” which is an 8-month program, and I am in the middle of it…

There is a distinction that I never heard before Pam’s program, called “caretaking.”

It is a crafty little distinction, because on the surface it seems that it teaches you to be selfish, but that is really just the very surface.

You are caretaking if there is no winner. Neither you win, nor the one you “caretake”.

I did not think it applied to me, but then again, Pam said, that caretaking drains your energy, and increases your negativity.

So I started to pay attention to my energy level (and how much work I got done in a day), and my negativity level (in my case bitterness, or the lack of ambition, enthusiasm, sleeping well).

A few weeks ago I started to notice that I am quite forceful in wanting to give (to everyone, especially people that I diagnosed as they could use my help.) It wasn’t without pleasure, especially when they didn’t say no.

One day I found out that one of those people actually didn’t want and didn’t need my help, in fact he was way ahead of me in a class we are taking together, because he seems to have more energy, and he seems to ask for help when he needs it. He didn’t ask for help from me. I felt crushed, but I started to pay attention. I suspected a pattern here…

The next door neighbor, when he went to rehab about 15 months ago, asked me to take care of his cat. I have been taking extreme hardship to take care of the cat, and I am noticing that the cat is neither grateful, nor is the experience a rewarding one.

When I look back at my life, it seems that I have “shacked up” with people who “needed my help” only to end up unappreciated, and often dumped.

The only common denominator is me. Hm. Interesting.

So it seems that the pattern is that I “help” unsolicited, I am unappreciated, and I am crushed.

When I looked what is underneath that, I saw that there is an underlying conviction that I am not wanted for myself, that I need to earn my keep, that I am on borrowed time, and that I am buying a sense of belonging.

Now, since the “shift” all of these “truths” have become less controlling of my life, but they are obviously there, given these new acts of caretaking/victimhood.

The homework has been to identify a negative emotion and replace it with a positive… I think the negative emotion is something like I am ALONE, and the positive could be, I am FREE. A free agent… wow, what an insight. I have created ties, chains and bonds to create a sense of belonging, but it did not work that way.

Just the thought of being a free agent brings a lightness to my heart, a fluttering, a joy, tears into my eyes. I have never been a free agent! (This is how you know that free agent is not an “IS” but is an attitude, a state of mind, a “BEING”. In Landmark we used to create beings all the time, it never occurred for me to create free agent as a being.

Amazing. This stuff really works. Thank you Pam, thank you Landmark.

Barrett Loses Appeal, Leaves Town

Fight Back, Join the Foundation for Health Choice

Self proclaimed Quackbuster, Stephen Barrett, MD, recently handed crushing defeats by chiropractor Tedd Koren and Ilena Rosenthal, has announced he is leaving his home town and operating base in Allentown, Pennsylvania.

On June 11th, 2007, the Superior Court of Pennsylvania affirmed a lower court dismissal of Barrett’s defamation suite against Dr. Koren. Barrett’s case was so lacking in merit the judge blocked it from going to the jury. Barrett simply had no case against Dr. Koren. This followed another stunning defeat last month in California. There an appeals court ordered Barrett and crony Terry Polevoy, MD to post bonds of more than $400,000.00 after they lost a defamation case against Illena Rosenthal virtually identical to the Koren case.

Perhaps the fact that lawyers and judges in Allentown are catching on to his intimidation schemes explains why Barrett is moving to Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Barrett can run but he can’t hide. Chapel Hill collection attorneys are already being asked to locate his assets to pay his unmet legal obligations. Assets of other Quackwatch, Inc., principals might also be sought.

Who Is Steven Barrett, What Are Quackbusters?

Steven Barrett is an unlicensed Pennsylvania psychiatrist, who, though he failed his psychiatric boards and has been criticized for his lack of expertise by several courts, still claims to often advise the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the FBI, State Attorneys General, HMOs, Consumer Reports, medical journals and state medical, chiropractic and dental boards.

The insurance industry cites Barrett’s highly opinionated “Quackbuster” attacks to deny paying claims for chiropractic and other natural healthcare.

Barrett and the “Quackbusters,” a vigilante group of self proclaimed skeptics of any medical or health modality that avoids drugs, surgery or radiation, attack almost all non-conventional healthcare practices as quackery. Ignoring all scientific research to the contrary, they dismiss Gulf War Syndrome, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Chemical Sensitivity, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, and dietary supplements as rubbish. Double Nobel Prize winner Linus Pauling is on their “quack” hit list along with many well known and respected doctors and scientists, including Deepak Chopra, Andrew Weil, and dozens of others.

Barrett claims to give over 500 interviews a year to newspapers, magazines, and television shows, including CNN and the Today Show. He claims to have been a peer reviewer for seven medical journals, including the Journal of the American Medical Association, even though he had no license to practice medicine when he did the reviewing.

The Quackbusters run over 70 websites. Millions of people go to them every year. Look up chiropractic, acupuncture, homeopathy or even vitamin C, as well as almost every other natural health topic, on the Internet and you (and the public) will be led to Quackbuster sites advising you of natural health “dangers.” In all these forums Barrett and the Quackbusters relentlessly attack the consumer right to informed choice. These activities continue the AMA’s anti-quackery committee’s activities that were struck down by federal courts as an illegal restraint of trade in a landmark lawsuit brought by Illinois chiropractor Chester Wilk. They also help insurance companies deny consumer reimbursement claims.

At the same time, Barrett flacks for products like aspartame (NutraSweet), which is the subject of tens of thousands of consumer complaints. Question (asked on Barrett’s web site): “An email message is being circulated with many statements to the effect that aspartame is dangerous. How worried should I be?” Answer (from Barrett): “Not at all. The message is pure rubbish.”

What Did Dr. Koren Do to Provoke Barrett’s Shakedown?

Dr. Tedd Koren is a well-known chiropractor, researcher, writer and lecturer. Barrett sued Dr. Koren in 2003 for calling him a Quackpot, saying he was in big trouble because of a racketeering law suit brought against him and attacking his lack of a medical license in his internet newsletter.

The trial judge and three appeals judges agreed unanimously that these statements were so far from defamation that no jury could be legally allowed to call them defamation. Dr. Koren also said Barrett was “delicensed.” One of the three appeals courts judges thought a jury might be able to find this to be defamation. However two appellate judges disagreed and jurors interviewed after the trial said they too saw through Barrett and felt that he was a litigious, ungrounded and biased denier of the truth.

In part jurors formed this view because Barrett testified with great self-satisfaction in the Koren case that he had sued many doctors-close to forty-in similar cases, demanding up to $100,000 if they wished to avoid a costly lawsuit. Some paid-how many is yet to be discovered. Drs. Koren and Rosenthal and a few others did not. Barrett has failed to win a single lawsuit in this shakedown scheme.

Dr. Koren’s Legal Team

Well known consumer advocate, James S. (Jim) Turner, general counsel to Koren Publications, who several years earlier had persuaded the FTC to drop an investigation against Dr. Koren (brought at a time when Barrett was a consultant to the FTC), organized and coordinated the legal team that represented Dr. Koren. Attorney Christopher Reid of Allentown, Pennsylvania acted as associate trial counsel and appellate counsel and California health freedom attorney Carlos Negrete acted as trial counsel.,

Mr. Negrete said, “Fortunately for all of his colleagues, Dr. Koren decided not to back down and took the case to trial. Barrett is part of a group of intolerant individuals. I am not certain who the supporters of the so-called Quackbusters are, but they seem to me to be just skinheads with stethoscopes.”

During heated and often dramatic courtroom proceedings, Mr. Negrete pointed out many of the questionable statements Barrett includes on his websites attacking chiropractic, as well as facts about Barrett’s own credentials that shocked even his supporters.

Mr. Turner says, “It is very important that a very responsible judge in Barrett’s hometown recognized that he was making false allegations and dismissed the case. Barrett has cost untoward numbers of consumers pain, anguish and probably serious harm by his misrepresentation of the facts about subjects ranging from acupuncture to zinc.”

Mr. Turner, who among other campaigns led the team that got acupuncture needles approved as safe by FDA, worked with a Senate committee to abolish the dysfunctional vaccine regulatory agency, worked with whistleblowers to stop the Swine Flu inoculation campaign, kept aspartame off the market for ten years, and played a key role in lobbying the Organic Food Production Act through Congress (all areas on which the Foundation for Health Choice focuses), says, “Our objective is to end Barrett’s abuse of consumers by eliminating the false and misleading information from his website and his entire network of websites and replacing it with sound, useful information for consumers.”

Says Dr. Koren, “This is just the beginning. Just as the FTC battle was not about Tedd Koren alone but had ramifications for the entire chiropractic and natural health professions so the Barrett v. Koren battle will have major ramifications for all. We’re going to give the Quackbusters a taste of their own medicine. They’ll learn how dangerous medicine can be.”

“Our mission is not just about revealing the Quackbusters to be the unscientific bigots that they are. We are fighting for health care freedom. One of our goals is to permit parents to make sound decisions about vaccination for their children. There are too many sound health reasons for certain children to avoid vaccination and the government has recognized too many vaccine caused deaths and maimings (over $1.5 billion of compensation has been paid to bereaved families by the federal vaccine injury compensation system since 1988) to allow a non-vaccinated child to be refused day care, school, college, or employment,” says Dr. Koren.

Mr. Turner is also lead counsel in a case brought against Barrett by Dr. Don Harrison, the chiropractor who founded and leads Chiropractic Biophysics.

Join The Foundation for Health Choice Free, Make a Contribution

Dr. Koren, Jim Turner and others have formed The Foundation for Health Choice (www.foundationforhealthchoice.com ) to fight for health care freedom.

The Foundation for Health Choice has a comprehensive multi-phase strategy to advance consumer access to the wide variety of health and wellness initiatives available to consumers that do not involve drugs, surgery or radiation, including:
° Providing access to information currently resisted by the established medical system,
° Investigating and reporting on activities and organizations that undermine chiropractic, naturopathic, homeopathic, acupuncture and other non dug based approaches to health and well being,
° Working to eliminate concealment of evidence of such modalities’ usefulness, the undercutting of insurance programs for patients, and the subverting of government inquiries by special interests,
° And numerous other activities to eliminate the monopoly over health care that currently exists in this country.
Says Dr. Koren, “The Foundation needs members and donors, especially monthly donors, to sustain its activities. Ten dollars a month from enough people can make a big difference.
