Harmony Naturally
Posted by michellemoquin on August 13th, 2008
Good morning everyone…
I woke up this morning not myself. I had two different topics that I was planning on writing about and I couldn’t decide which one. After reading the comment from Marli, I feel like writing neither as both subjects were not very pleasant. For another time…
Hi Marli: It was quite wonderful to wake up to your comment. Your description brings tears to my eyes. Thank you for sharing.
For some reason this planet Arvis, your words, as much as you feel were not adequate enough for the beauty that you experienced…..touched me almost more so than hearing about Sweteno. In Sweteno, beings were the way they were on that planet because the planet changed them when they arrived. To my understanding, one did not have a choice of how to ‘behave’, one just became harmonious with all others. That alone, not to mention all of the other blessings….is simply wondrous.
But there in Arvis, the planets beings seem to blend harmoniously naturally, or at least it feels that way from your personal portrayal. But unlike Sweteno it also left me feeling bittersweet. Why? Maybe it is my own state of mind, my own desire for our planet Earth to be different than it is. I am reminded that there are places and beings out there that truly care for, appreciate and honor, the planet. They cherish and respect the differences between beings, uplifting, and caring for each other.
Ah…to try to be in harmony with all is one thing…many on our planet do not even strive for this…but to naturally be harmonious with all things…now that is awe-inspiring.
How blessed you Earthlings are to experience something that I only dream for us. I am delighted for you and desirous to experience it for myself. Soon…
~~~~???~~~~
Hi Marta: I wish that I could say more or that I had something better to report. I read this morning that despite the ‘truce’, Russian tanks are heading deeper into Georgia. I wish you peace soon.
Readers: What are you going to do today? How about striving for harmony in your life :) Here’s a little ‘Harmony’ from yours truly…

Hey Mischa, hmm…I’m a bit off my zen game myself this last 24, but it’ll be back, ‘this too shall pass’ right?
Marli, it sounds beautiful where you are, if I can’t have an angel watching over me (never much believed in angels but they sound so great in theory), then I’d love to be watching them or some beings that look like them in all their colorful beauty. Maybe the commander and I can join the girls for a short visit sometime…

Peace…Zen Lill

Sir
It’s not all that harmonious out here. I have been assigned to an area of our Milkyway Galaxy that is so far from harmonious as to make earth seem like the garden of eden.
These beings prey on each other like vampires. When they are not conspiring to conquer or eat each other they are leaving devices that are designed to be appealing to other intellectual space travelers that will be lethal to their planet when they take it home.
Why would they do this you may ask? Because they are mean! Our job to remove these lethal buoys from this area. Our job when we are Girlzs will be to find the perpetrators and eliminated them.
This part of our galaxy is so beautiful. The light emitted by the emerging star systems is AWESOME!. Its like a well lit Christmas highway. Some of the planets have waterfalls of liquids I couldn’t name but the beauty is just fantastic. The indigenous life forms that are not what we would call the intelligent life forms are so plentiful and magnificent.
The intelligent life on some of these planets use them to accomplish their needs on different planets in their solar systems. For example the beasts I call Molers are captured on the planet Mibtqu and used on the planet Agron. Agron is about 28 times as large as the planet Mibtqu but it has basically the same make up with very little animal life forms. It is relatively new in its existence compared to Mibtqu which is about a billion years older.
The Molers are hugh oxen looking like animals that feed on rocks and dirt. They gorge themselves twice every 4 earth days on mountains. There digestion process uses chlorine, photochemicals, and various nitrate gases to breakdown the rocks and dirt. Their feces contain the life elements that produce the greenery of the planet and form the basis of new life forms on the planet. They are so gentle that one could walk up to a Moler and just lead it away by hand.
It would take a pretty big hand because they are 23 feet tall when born and grow to be 72 feet and weight up to 94 tons. The amazing part is that in order to feed they must convert their four legs into two front tentacles and the two back into some sort of back pushing winglike things that propel it through the hardest rock a incredible speeds. Their huge oxen like bodies spiral into a tube with centipede like things all over it. Don’t ask me what for Cala is the biologist and she doesn’t have a clue.
They burrow or eat their way through mountains and create the smoothest tunnels you have ever seen. The crazy inhabitants(that’s another story) of Mitqu(Sometimes spelt Mibtgu) take them to Agron to create roads by allowing them to eat through selected mountainous regions and then leading them to barren areas to defecate thereby seeding that area with fertile life possibilities.
Agron is a mystery planet, like the others aren’t, because it has no insects like life that we can detect, yet it has what seems like millions of different types of birds. As far as we can tell the birds don’t seem to shit. It has snakes that act like tame dogs. They curl up next to you and purr. If you feed them candy bars (we get to duplicate whatever we want in the Simulator – the stuff’s so real.), they follow you around like puppies. Cala says they may not be classified as reptiles because they are not truly cold blooded.
I don’t know they seem to love to be next to your body. I hated snakes or even worms back on earth, but I have come to love these tender creatures. They are easily trained. It is so funny to see them fetch, sit and beg. I want one to take back with me.
I could talk for days about the different life forms on Agron. It has very little vegetation as we would call it. But the terrain is gorgeous. The rock formations look like decorated easter eggs. The ground looks dusty but nothing sticks to your body or clothes. The atmosphere is very earth like maybe a little rich in oxygen or something because you laugh all the time and anything.
The liquids are of different forms. Some are almost jelly like, not icky more like a thick bubble bath. There are a lot of deep chasms as it seems that at one time many meteorites slammed into its surface. Our instruments show that it has not been hit in millions or years but there are still a lot of huge craters. Which I might add can be filled in less than an hour by the feces of a Moler. I really shouldn’t call it feces since its excrement is sweet to the taste (hey the simulator told us that it would be tasty and nourishing.—- Ginnie tried it first,) and quite pretty to look at. It has a jasmine like aroma. Most life forms on Agron are attracted to it.
The greenery that results from the Moler’s excrement depends on the terrain that absorbs it. It can be grass like or a flowery type. The seeds are sorted out and used to create vegetation in swamp like areas by the crazies from Mibtqu. What a waste that they have this opportunity to literally create an entire environment on a beautiful new planet. If the right earthlings could come here we could start over in paradise.
In the midst of all this splendor are “intelligent” inhabitants that use their technology to explore and enslave lessor advanced inhabitants in nearby solar systems. There is a constant war of the worlds in this regent.l Fortunately we are the new power here. Sir when you are here, we can begin to bring order to these barbarians.
The rumor is that the technology that is being used by the beings in this part of the galaxy was left by a much more advance civilization in the hopes that it would be use for good. Boy did they make a big mistake.

RUBMAN’S DIGESTION CONNECTION: POOR RESEARCH LED TO FINDINGS ON SELENIUM AND DIABETES
The media recently made much of a new study published in the August 21, 2007, issue of the Annals of Internal Medicine that linked the supplement selenium to an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Since I’ve often written about the immune-boosting benefits of selenium (an essential trace mineral found in the ground), I turned to Daily Health News contributing medical editor and frequent selenium prescriber, Andrew L. Rubman, ND, to ask what he made of this new finding. It reminded me of similar studies that have been reported on in recent years where natural products such as vitamin E, beta carotene, DHEA and echinacea were researched by doctors who didn’t fully understand the complexity of the product. In Dr. Rubman’s view it does indeed seem, once again, that the conventional medical community is using limited research techniques to portray negative effects of natural supplements that overshadow their benefits.
“HOW TO LIE WITH RESEARCH” TECHNIQUE
“This particular research has more holes in it than Swiss cheese,” said Dr. Rubman. To begin with, the original study took place more than 10 years ago and was not designed to investigate type 2 diabetes. Instead, the goal of the study, called The Nutritional Prevention of Cancer (NPC) trial, was to determine whether taking selenium could help prevent skin cancer. The new study, based on NPC data, included more than 1,200 adults (mean age 63) with a history of skin cancers other than melanoma. Half took a 200-microgram selenium supplement daily, and the other half took a placebo. Both groups were followed for an average of 7.7 years.
Researchers did not find that selenium had a protective effect against skin cancer, although they did discover that it was dramatically protective against death from several other deadly cancers. More about this later. After 10 years, a team of MDs went back to that data to see what effect selenium had on the incidence of type 2 diabetes. They saw that 58 participants in the selenium group reported a new diagnosis of diabetes, versus 39 participants taking a placebo. Their conclusion — selenium supplements do not prevent diabetes and in fact “may increase risk for the disease.”
Upon close analysis of the research, Dr. Rubman found the reasoning behind this conclusion highly questionable. He says the flaws include…
• The study was not designed or intended to look at diabetes. While no participants reported having type 2 diabetes at the start, self-reporting is notoriously unscientific. There had been no official screening for diabetes, so it’s clear that the groups were not controlled to balance the existence of diabetes or diabetes risk factors. Hundreds of thousands of people have diabetes and don’t know it, so how can researchers conclude whether any association between selenium and diabetes is reality or a random occurrence?
• Limited data for analysis. Researchers don’t discuss what medications these seniors were taking, nor what other medical conditions they suffered from (or if these factors were even taken into account), what their diets were like, whether or not they exercised, etc. By connecting selenium to an increased diabetes risk, researchers were jumping to conclusions.
• The researchers’ conclusion overshadows selenium’s positive benefits, particularly its role in cancer prevention. Mention of this positive effect was limited to one brief sentence. Specifically, the NPC study found that compared with a placebo, selenium…
• Reduced deaths from prostate cancer by 63%.
• Reduced deaths from colorectal cancer by 58%.
• Reduced deaths from lung cancer by 46%.
MDS MISTRUST SUPPLEMENTS
Dr. Rubman notes that many mainstream MDs seem to mistrust supplements — in no small part because they lack training in the field of natural medicine. He points out that the preponderance of research demonstrates that selenium is beneficial in many ways, including…
• Selenium is a natural antioxidant that, according to the National Cancer Institute, “might help control cell damage that can lead to cancer.” Research also shows it is an anti-inflammatory.
• Selenium helps maintain optimal immune function. It helps enhance T-cell activity, stimulates antibody production and protects immune cells from oxidative damage.
• Research suggests that selenium may have additional health benefits, such as protection against other types of cancer, heart disease, rheumatoid arthritis, asthma and male infertility.
Of course, we also now know that taking too much of an antioxidant can backfire and turn a positive health influence into a negative one. The optimal dose of selenium varies from person to person, while a toxic dose can result in neurological and dermatological problems. As with all powerful nutrients, professional oversight by a trained and experienced ND is advised.
