DetoxingYour Body - With Dr. John Bergman (Huntington Beach CA)

 I'd been waiting for a good video that helps us all to understand detoxification and why we should work it into our diet and supplement regimens. In this video Dr. Bergman discusses how to outsmart the radiation from Fukushima and so much more.

About Dr. Bergman

Quick Overview of the Types of Magnesium Supplements and which ones to avoid


The best forms of magnesium

Magnesium citrate -- Magnesium citrate is a more popular magnesium supplement, probably because it is inexpensive and easily absorbed. Since citric acid is a mild laxative, magnesium citrate functions as a constipation aid as well as a magnesium source. It is a great choice for individuals with rectal or colon problems but is unsuitable for those with loose bowel movements.

Magnesium taurate -- Magnesium taurate is the best choice of magnesium supplement for people with cardiovascular issues since it is known to prevent arrhythmias and guard the heart against damage caused by heart attacks. Magnesium taurate is easily absorbed (magnesium and taurine stabilize cell membranes together), and it contains no laxative properties.

Magnesium malate -- Magnesium malate is a fantastic choice for people suffering from fatigue, since malic acid -- a natural fruit acid present in most cells in the body -- is a vital component of enzymes that play a key role in ATP synthesis and energy production. Since the ionic bonds of magnesium and malic acid are easily broken, magnesium malate is also highly soluble.

Magnesium glycinate -- Magnesium glycinate (magnesium bound with glycine, a non-essential amino acid) is one of the most bioavailable and absorbable forms of magnesium, and also the least likely to induce diarrhea. It is the safest option for correcting a long-term deficiency.

Magnesium chloride -- Though magnesium chloride only contains around 12 percent elemental magnesium, it has an impressive absorption rate and is the best form of magnesium to take for detoxing the cells and tissues. Moreover, chloride (not to be confused with chlorine, the toxic gas) aids kidney function and can boost a sluggish metabolism.

Magnesium carbonate -- Magnesium carbonate is another popular, bioavailable form of magnesium that actually turns into magnesium chloride when it mixes with the hydrochloric acid in our stomachs. It is a good choice for people suffering from indigestion and acid reflux since it contains antacid properties.


The less preferred forms of magnesium

Magnesium oxide -- Magnesium oxide is the most common form of magnesium sold in pharmacies, but it is non-chelated and possesses a poor absorption rate compared to those listed above.

Magnesium sulfate -- Magnesium sulfate, also called Epsom salt, is a fantastic constipation aid but an unsafe source of dietary magnesium, since overdosing on it is easy.

Magnesium glutamate and aspartate -- Avoid these two forms of magnesium completely. Glutamic acid and aspartic acid are components of the dangerous artificial sweetener aspartame, and both of them become neurotoxic when unbound to other amino acids.

The Challenge of the Moment - Decisions that Rock

Right now. Did you see it?  What you were doing, thinking or saying just then, a moment ago, when I said - "Right now"? Well, you missed out on a moment of change but fear not there are plenty more to come. Releasing the cultural brain freeze of lock-step hypnosis to living in the river of change is an exciting new habit of personal growth by experimenting with probable futures at any time you want. And if you can get interested in why this is so exciting you end up a big winner.
HOW TO CHALLENGE YOURSELF RIGHT NOW!
Think! For the next hour, try to challenge yourself in whatever you are currently doing. If you are at a public event go up to random people and try to start a conversation. If you are on the phone with a client try to listen better and use better logic and better diction to communicate a more thoughtful idea or solution. And if you are working out, go for more sets and reps than you might normally do.
If you make it fun you won't stop and will consciously shift reality to a bright future.
  • Self Confidence: If you can beat a challenge, or attempt one, every day it makes you feel like you are making progress in life.
  • “Limits” won’t hold you back anymore. Limitations are often only set by ourselves or people that have never attempted to break those limits.
  • Every day is filled with new experiences for you. The most common regret people have is that they didn’t do something because they were afraid to do it. While challenging yourself means to be afraid for a while afterwards you had made something shift by forcing a small moment of your reality into a better probability by conscious force of will.  The meaning of this must not be missed.  To quell denial and avoidance is to eliminate the grinding wheels of constant regret for things that might have been. When we break the pattern of excuse-making and guilt we are guaranteed authentic personal growth and we experience empowerment as never before. It's always a surprise when life reflects rewards for good high integrity work back to us.
  • Others will view you with respect and awe.  When you challenging yourself successfully you will find others filled with a mixture of jealousy, admiration, respect, anger, inspiration, awe, hate, fear, and excitement towards you. All because you are doing what they are too afraid to do and that gets them pissed off at themselves immensely.
  • You will feel more in control of your life. If you can challenge yourself, beat old limits and drop fear guilt and shame from your life, you will have every reason to be in control. After all: There is nothing to contest it anymore.
When you do these challenges be sure to do it no matter what. If you wimp out as soon as the alarm rings, or you make an excuse why you cannot challenge yourself right now, your life will not change. It only works if it is outside your comfort zone. But don't let that stop you. Anesthetize fear with combative phrases like "this is a piece of cake!" or "Nothing to it!" or get "Zen" in your own handy way ...and go for it. Yes, it does require you to step outside your comfort zone. But you will feel the difference at the end of every day, and a significant change in your life after just one week.
Try it for thirty days. The difference is astounding. 

From Wimp to Braveheart - It's All in the Moment

Right now. Did you see it?  What you were doing just now when I said - "Right now"? Well, you missed out on a moment of possible change but fear not there are plenty more opportunities to come. Releasing the cultural brain freeze of lock-step hypnosis and living in the river of change is an exciting new trend in personal growth. When we consciously challenge ourselves in the present we design our future. To find out why this is so exciting, stick around you might end up a big winner.

If you are on the phone with a client try to listen better and use better logic and better diction to communicate a better idea or solution. And if you are working out, go for more sets and reps than you might normally do. Do something out of character or scary as often as possible to break the back of boredom sadness and the many forms of subtle depression that plagues our culture. Give value to anxiety by sparking your moments with new challenges rather than expending energy denying terminal regret. It takes some practice to master but coming up with new fun ways to handle moment to moment life. This is to wake up to possibility and to take the wheel to a bright future! If that is not fun what is?
If you make it fun you won't stop and will consciously shift reality to a bright future.

A Recent Experiment "The Week I Stopped Meditating"



I completed an experiment today. Last week I had been answering a lot of questions from people who had never experienced Transcendental Meditation. One smart gal wanted to know what it was like to practice for a long time, then stop for awhile, and then start again. I told her I had done this several times but that I would stop for a week and let her know. I did it ...and "let me tell you ...it was PAINFUL!" I replied, not meditating for a week was just STRANGE. I got grouchy, sad depressed confused and I felt like I was not living my life. I felt plastic forced and socially inept by the fourth day. I had little genuine interest in my work or any sincere interest in the people around me. I felt as though I was just going through the motions. Mostly I felt old and TIRED. I heard from my YouTube channel subscribers "we do this (going through the motions) all the time - and that it is the way our lives have been for decades!" And these are just the people who are AWARE of that fact. Others display it so obviously that you can read it on their faces. You know them. Everyone does.

Once I sat down to meditate for 20 minutes today I found myself pulled into the meditation like gravity pulling a meteor to earth. I was like going down in an elevator and somebody cut the cable... completely out cold for twenty-four minutes with no sense of time for at least 15 minutes during which the pleasure of relief pervaded every cell of my being. It was the weight of the world coming off my shoulders, all stress released all at once and when I came out of meditation it was no longer the reality I knew just moments before. It was like being a new person or a person who experienced a massive shift. I ate lunch afterward and the food tasted five times better than a day ago. The same dish! Colors appeared brighter and my vision was much better. Gratitude came easily and selfish thoughts from before were gone - mostly because I was no longer in psychic PAIN! And I was no longer as tired and I did not feel old.

I can not tell you that you will have the same experience as me, but after 43 years of meditation, I can say it's highly unlikely you won't. There is something very special about the T.M. technique that sets it apart from other forms of meditation. It can't fix everything, but it takes a big ass bite out of psychic and emotional pain. And the body rests very deeply.

Yesterday I called the local T.M. Center in Mission Valley. The cost to learn the technique is down to $950 and if two people go to learn at the same time the second person is like $800. For financially challenged people there is a very generous program to drastically reduce the cost. I'm delighted by these new rates and believe the T.M. movement is gaining new momentum and life now that it is back on track in too many ways to discuss here.
