NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS AND GOAL SETTING – Most resolutions and goals are never reached because they are made without a commitment.  Too often the resolution is something a person thinks they have to do or someone else thinks they should do, not something they really want to do because it is usually not a pleasant task.  It may be something they have dreaded doing for a long time or something they tried and failed at in the past.

Keep in mind that your thoughts, words and actions are seed.  Make a commitment to plant good seed for obtaining a great harvest!  The key is not to focus on bad habits you’d like to overcome (that is a bad seed), but focusing on good habits you would like to obtain and staying mindful of the seeds you need to plant for the harvest you are going to reap.  Failure to achieve that commitment is not an option because it is a commitment.

Let’s define commitment:

Promise – pledge, vow, obligation, assurance, binder

Dedication – loyalty, devotion, steadfastness, allegiance, faithfulness, stanchness, indifference

Obligation – duty, responsibility, liability

The following tips help put good habits such as eating healthy, exercising, and taking time to relax on autopilot - so you can maintain them with very little effort. Here are a few favorite success commitments that will soon become healthy habits:

1.    Commit to 30 Days. As you make it through the first month it will then become a habit.   

2.    Make it a daily routine. Consistency is key, and the more often you engage in the new habit, the better. For instance, if you’re trying to get into the habit of exercise, you should do some form of it every day for the first 30 days.

3.    Start Simple. Don’t overwhelm yourself by trying to immediately change your whole diet, commit to first getting through step one of my Basic Nutritional Plan before focusing on future advanced steps.

4.    Replace negative thoughts with positive confessions. If you start to think something negative about the new habit, counter it with a positive statement. Example:  My negative thoughts might be, “I’m no good at exercising” and my positive statement is, “I use to be no good at exercising, but this is a new successful experience and I am getting better day by day!”

5.    Activate your victory. Think of something you can do right before doing the new habit so that it will “activate” you into autopilot. So, if your new habit is to go to bed earlier, washing your face and brushing your teeth can be the ritual used to activate earlier bedtime.

"All cure starts from within out and from the head down and in reverse order as the symptoms have appeared." Herring's Law of Cure.

Dr. Bernard Jensen, The Science and Practice of Iridology, who is probably the world's leading iridologist quotes from the above statement to explain to people how, the body heals. He understands this axiom probably better than any other living person. Why?? Because of his extensive experience - gained from analyzing thousands of irises of patients before and after they embarked upon a natural diet. For example, if he saw through the iris that the patient needed organic sodium, he would prescribe a food rich in it and then he could observe weeks or months later when the healing lines began to appear in the iris. No other type of doctor, treating with any other type medicine or drug can observe through the window of the eye (or any other way) and know whether or not what he has prescribed works..or even what effect it has upon the body. (One exception might be kinesiology)

First, we must understand that drugs suppress symptoms, and that natural herbs or food (wheatgrass) remove them. For instance if someone had a sinus infection and took a drug, the drug would dry up the mucus in the sinus cavities-allowing the person to breathe. Whereas, if they took wheatgrass, it would so vitalize the body that it would eliminate the mucus. Basically the body heals itself anyway, regardless of whether or not a drug has been administered. Actually taking the drug slows down the healing process and at the same time adds toxins to the body. Living foods were designed by the Creator as were living bodies-one for the other. Living foods have theorized to transfer plant energy into living bodies. Dead, (cooked) food cannot. Healing with living food, wheatgrass takes time. First the tissues must be detoxified and then changed to healthy tissue. When old diseased tissue is replaced with healthy new tissue, the healing crisis occurs.

When the body is going through a healing crisis, it is sometimes difficult to distinguish from a disease process. Usually the manifestations are similar, however the healing crisis is a result of the body becoming very healthy and vital as a result of diet.

Sometimes if a person is in a chronic state and has gone through many disease processes in life, he must go through these disease processes in reverse order they happened. (Sometimes the healing crisis is just as intense as the original disease, however it usually lasts only about 3 days.)

If one has changed his/her diet and is in the process of detoxification, he/she can expect a healing crisis usually within about 3 months from the time he/she starts. (The grass juices speed the process.)

It takes energy for the body to heal itself. We receive energy and life force from the foods God has provided---if we do not alter the food or kill it by heating it above 110 degrees.

Symptoms can be covered up or they can be cured. It is our choice. How do we want it?
