The Secret to Winning the Battle Against MRSA!!
A couple of days ago my dear friend and colleague, Chuck, in California told me that his adult son almost overnight showed up with a case of MRSA. My Doctor brain immediately went into "help him" mode.
I had to tell him about a solution that would
Many commonly prescribed antibiotics are not effective against these bacteria.
It is no more dangerous or virulent than methicillin-sensitive S. aureus but it is more difficult to treat.
This bacterium is usually confined to hospitals and in particular to vulnerable or debilitated patients. [Italics mine - Dr Jon]
I had to tell him about a solution that would
- protect his son from further damage,
- prevent him from getting into serious sequelae from taking the antibiotics prescribed, and
- even improve his overall health!
In other words he could get over the infection and be better than when he first started with it!!
Now I know, all of you think I am crazy and off my rocker (hence the title of the blog!) but hear me out.
First let's look at the scope of the problem with MRSA. Chuck called me today to say that a local news broadcast had a feature this morning about a high school football player who was just diagnosed with the dis-ease. Young people are supposed to be healthy enough to not get it.
In the words made famous by the excellent movie Apollo 13, "Houston, we have a problem!"
So what is MRSA?
The "SA" stands for "Staphylococcus Aureus," a strain of bacteria which is a normal inhabitant of human skin and nose tissue. [I can't resist putting in a plug here for the "environmental theory" of infection - the idea that bacteria only become problematic when the environment in a person's body is conducive for it's growth. In other words when a person does not have adequate immunity. But we digress; that discussion is for another time!] Normally this does not cause problems. In the instances where it might, usually a dose of a Penicillin type of antibiotic, Methicillin, will "take care" of it.
However, there has developed a strain of the Staph Aureus which in now Methicillin Resistant, hence the abbreviation/acronym MRSA or Methicillin Resistant Staph Aureus. In other words, there is not a good choice of antibiotic out there in the pharmaceutical world that treats this bacterium adequately and effectively. That should trouble you!
Here are some facts from a Microbiology site on the internet1:
In terms of treatment2,
Where infection is present, antibiotics commonly used to treat methicillin-sensitive S. aureus such as flucloxacillin, erythromycin and the cephalosporins, are not effective and the patient will require treatment with other antibiotics such as vancomycin or teicoplanin. These last two antibiotics are expensive, may be toxic and have to be given by intravenous infusion. Patients infected with MRSA must therefore be treated in hospital.
Doesn't sound so "benign" does it?
Fortunately there is a simple and effective and inexpensive solution.
A friend of mine, a nutritional expert, did the journal research and discovered a number of food substances that have effectiveness not only against MRSA but against a VERY WIDE spectrum of bacteria, viruses and fungi. He put these together in a capsule for his patients. With some urging from friends he has now made the remedy available to the general public. Now, the FDA hasn't put their stamp of approval on it; you have to know that.
However, if you would like to learn more about this simple solution to a serious problem and/or purchase some for yourself, you can do that here.
For your Improved Health and Blessing,
Dr Jon

Who Are You - Really?
I am reading through a very insightful book, in fact have quoted from it previously on this blog, called Listening to Love by Jan Meyers. Had to share this paragraph with you, especially in light of my last post:
Time to rethink it? redefine yourself? start believing the Truth about yourself? !!
Be your Mind-Blowing Self!
Blessings,
Dr Jon
8In Ephesians 2:10, the Greek word for workmanship (NIV) is poema, which means poem.
9 Angelus Silesius, quoted in Macrina Wiederkehr, A Tree Full of Angels: Seeing the Holy in the Ordinary (San Francisco: Harper and Row, 1998), 90.
----from Jan Meyers, Listening to Love (Waterbrook Press, 2004), 186.
Madeleine L'Engle says, "God understands that part of us which is more than we think we are." That's an understatement. Our Perfect Parent sees the splendor intended for us from the beginning. ("Yes, it is a miracle. And no one knows it yet, but this boy is brilliant of mind, pure of heart, and will display his strength in amazing ways.") In Ephesians 2 he calls us his workmanship -- his poema, his work of art, created for a unique (meaning no one else can fill it) place in this kingdom.8 You can hear the tragedy of how we diminish the handiwork, especially the redeeemed handiwork of God, when we join in a dark chorus about ourselves. Angelus Silesius says, "God, the devil and the world all wish to enter me. Of what great lineage my noble heart must be."9 Why would the Adversary even bother with you if you were only intended for reality television-level identity? Why, when thinking of yourself, would you join the chorus that names you Average, Selfish, Hopefully Someone Will Notice Me when even the dark ones themselves acknowledge you to be Worth Having, Noble, Royal Lineage, A Threat, Marked for Mind-Blowing Wonderful Things, Belonging to Jesus?So, Who are You - Really?
Time to rethink it? redefine yourself? start believing the Truth about yourself? !!
Be your Mind-Blowing Self!
Blessings,
Dr Jon

Hard to Receive Correction?
Do you ever hear something and wonder why it causes such a deep stirring way down inside?
I was listening to a financial advisor/teacher the other day and had a major revelation. She was listing things that one needs to do to change one's life in relation to money in order to begin to generate and handle more of it.
It felt like she was slapping me, condemning me for being such a bad money-handler. She was really just factually teaching some action steps to take.
The feeling of resistance stopped me in my tracks. She doesn't even know me. I was listening to her on a CD, to a program which she teaches and markets to people like you and me who are trying to improve ourselves. She has my best interest at heart; she is trying to help me.
So why did it feel to me to be so BAD? Why did I resist so strongly her directions about things to do to improve myself when that is what I really want in the first place? The answer that came was a revelation.
Here is the first part of the revelation:
I realized that I have, for all my life, defined myself to be BAD, especially when it comes to money and the acquiring and handling of it. To hear someone tell me I need to change something only confirms to my heart that I really am bad. It stirs this really deep, emotional, gut-wrenching emotion inside me. I don't want to hear it or feel that bad so I ignore it when I do.
Because here is the other part of the revelation:
I have spent my entire life covering up the defined to be BAD part of me by working REALLY HARD to make myself look GOOD. I have believed that without this appearance of goodness I couldn't be approved by my parents, my family, my friends. And I needed their approval in order to find approval for myself. Of course that never really came because underneath I still defined myself as BAD.
Amazing how things change when you finally see them!
Now I no longer have to define myself as BAD. In fact, the relationship with Jesus has made my heart GOOD. It has also given me permission to be ME! Special! Unique! Amazing guy! Self-approving!
So now instruction for improvement is welcomed, received in the intent it is given, to HELP me. Not to condemn. When all that false emotional stuff is gone, the growth can really start to happen.
Renounce the lies about yourself. Come grow with me. Be your special, unique, amazing self!
Blessings,
Dr Jon

Making Money
I realized recently that the marketers I know, be they network (MLM) or internet or (the few) direct mail marketers, basically are doing one thing. They are doing the marketing game just to play with the technique of marketing and not really to make any money. There is a LOT to learn about marketing, don't get me wrong. And you can always do better. And we say we want to make money but we deceive ourselves. What we really are focused on is the doing of marketing, not the making of money.
You are probably wondering, what is the difference, and why would anyone care? Actually the difference is profound and helps to answer the question why 98% of people involved in marketing and home based businesses fail and never make any money. They are focused on the wrong thing and aiming for the wrong goal.
It also begs a bigger, broader, even more important question: Do other (or all!) professions do the same thing?
Do doctors focus on doctoring an not on making money?
Do teachers focus on teaching and not on making money?
Do salesmen focus on selling and not on making money?
Do consultants focus on consulting and not on making money?
I suspect that such is the case.
I know I did exactly that as a doctor. In fact, I doctored so I wouldn't have to think about making money.
Somehow we have been overtaken by this idea of doing what is right or what is our passion and the money will flow. I think it has given an excuse for us to be lazy.
Maybe the better concept should be: think about and focus on making money, find a tool about which you are passionate to use in the process, and let the money flow!
Bottom line, though, is let the money flow!
Does that make us greedy, selfish, out of focus?
Could, but that is a different issue. That goes to our heart motives. Assuming we have the motives straight, the result should be the receiving of money, and in large amounts. For this is a measure of our value, to ourselves and to others. For this is the means by which we can begin to do the ministering to others we all are so anxious to do. As my newest mentor says, "Poor people can't help poor people; rich people can help poor people." (True not just about money, by the way!)
To help us stay on focus, we should perhaps change the names of our occupations. Instead of doctor, lawyer, ditch-digger or whatever, we might all call ourselves "money-makers" (with a speciality in whatever)!
MoneyMaker - Doctor.
MoneyMaker - Laundryman.
MoneyMaker - Ditchdigger.
It would begin to level the playing field and help us each see where the real value is: in ourselves, not in our occupation.
Let's go make some money!

Dr Jon

What do we mean when we say "God loves us?"
Please tell me if I am wrong, but do not most/many of us think that God loving us means that we can have some emotional buzz to feel good about ourselves, about life and even about others? We think it means we now get to go to heaven and live happily ever after. We think it means now we have to pay Him back by giving Him our lives, our desires, our focus, our activity. We think it means that we have to perform at some high level of righteousness so that He will approve of us and not judge us and not remove His love from us.
It really means none of that.
God loving us means we don't have to pretend or cover up or perform or even be holy. In fact, we do Him a disservice, offend and grieve Him when we do, especially since He has poured Himself out for us. He created Adam in a state of complete and shameless nakedness, completely open, physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually. In that openness He came and conversed with Adam. And when Adam chose to cover up, He still came. He was not the least put off by Adam's guilt or shame. Rather, He Himself found a solution to allow the Second Adam to come and be completely at One with Him, and in so doing, invite us into the restoration of the open relationship.
God loving us means we are asked, invited, compelled, even, to restored to Him in all of our nakedness, all of our brokenness, all of our shame and guilt and sense of failure and inadequacy. We are invited, even expected, to come as real, live, breathing, thinking, feeling, desiring, autonomous people. And in that openness and in that nakedness God lovingly, gently, laughingly pours in His quieting, His healing, His balm, His peace, His joy, His self-confidence, Hi s acknowledgement to each of us of our uniqueness, our glory, our beauty, our personhood. He satisfies the deepest need within each of us and brings us to that great, fulfilling, resting
AAAAAAHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhh..............
Get open, get real, go with God to
AAAAAAHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhh..............

LIFE is Really Easy?!
We have all heard that life is hard.
We mostly think that this is true, that difficulty is our lot.
I have decided that that is another lie that has been fostered upon us from day one.
From what planet do I come that this would even enter my consciousness, let alone be foolish (or courageous) enough to publicly declare such an idiotic statement?
Well, actually I don't know what planet I am FROM, nor does it matter; I am ON Planet Earth, as are all of us. And it is planet earth about which I am speaking.
For what makes LIFE easy or hard is really how I think about it. That is not to say there are not forces of good and forces of evil interplaying and involving us and our lives and all that. I would be the first to take away from the Biblical concept of the War between Righteousness/God and Sin/Satan. However, even in Scripture note that we are encouraged that the victory is won; we just have to believe it (use our thoughts to acknowledge it and not our eyes to see it first). We are told to above all else guard our heart for out of it comes the wellsprings of life. Our heart is our deepest thoughts, our deepest beliefs about ourselves, and God, and others.
So Life really is easy. We just have to think that it is.
The hard part is not Life, it is
the believing,
the guarding of our thoughts,
the believing that Loving Father
REALLY is in love with us,
REALLY DELIGHTS in us,
REALLY wants us to be
successful and
abundant and
giving and
delightful and
open to ourselves and others and
growing more and more intimate with Him.
Again, the process is really quite simple; the believing is the hard part.
To show you how simple it is, look at the Scripture that says, "Ask and you will receive..."
That is true, I am coming to believe, when applied to any part of life:
health,
relationships,
wealth (yes, money!),
insight,
discernment,
ability to reach out and touch others,
courage to look inside and see our own weaknesses AND strengths.
As an example of how easy and straightforward life is, if we will only decide, in the area of money, let me point you to a free ebook that was written many years ago. This author outlined very clearly and succintly the very precise and "certain way" of getting rich, also the reasons why we need to be and should be rich. While you are at it, and to acquire your free ebook, sign up for the delightful ezine that will come to you on a regular basis.
After you have obtained this wonderful little text,
BE SURE to READ it!!
After you have read it, be sure to let me know what you think and let's dialogue about it.

Fourth of July and Freedom
The Fourth is winding down, although the fireworks are not!
Did you take a moment today to ask yourself what freedom you are most thankful for? Hopefully you did think about freedom today!
There is MUCH for which to be thankful! Political freedom, religious freedom, social freedom, economic freedom (in spite of "curve balls" thrown at us at times - price of gas went down 2 cents here today), medical freedom to name several. You all could go on and on as could we all.
But I would like to point out a freedom I am recently just becoming aware of and appreciating more and more. Actually I am seeing it have profound effects on my own personal life, perhaps more than all the other freedoms mentioned.
This freedom? The freedom to be ME
Or, in general, the freedom each of us have to be OURSELVES!
Not encumbered by family pressures, peer pressures of whatever sort, organizational pressures, etc. Just free to be ME.
This is awesome - and profound.
For when this gets worked into my belief system, I have permission to live to my greatest potential, to fulfill my purpose for taking this planetary journey in the first place. I have permission to use all the resources that the Universe and Loving Father has provided for me. I have permission to become all that I am capable of and supposed to become.
This is true Freedom!
Live in it!
P.S. To share ideas with a community of like-minded champions, you are invited to http://www.focussociety.com. Both recorded and live, interactive sessions for your learning and enjoyment!

What Makes It Tick (Lessons in Marketing AND Life)
I was speaking with a Massage Therapy friend/mentor recently. He dropped the bomb that he was going to sell his spa. My first thought was, "How can he do that? That would be giving up his Gift, his Calling." And selfishly, I thought "That would take him away from me and he would not be available for consulting, mentoring, setting the example."
You have to understand, this man is unique in his ability to facilitate healing, to connect to persons, to teach those of us on the path behind him. To lose him would be a HUGE blow not only to me but to the population as a whole and to massage therapy as an industry.
But I kept my thoughts to myself and asked him to explain. His response was, "Our [MLM] is taking off, we are making enough that I don't need the spa, and I can finally just focus on the helping people heal that I have always wanted to do."
I was blown away! Here is a friend who is finally achieving the freedom of which I and many others have dreamed and for which we have worked and struggled for months and years.
This is so exciting! What an example. And at the same time, what a kick in the pants (as my Gramp used to say)! My next question had to be:
"What is your secret?"
Meaning - what are you doing that I haven't yet been able to do to see the same results in my own attempts at MLM (or whatever).
His reply included,
- Support from my upline
- The product really works
and he kind of passed it off, not talking about his efforts or himself.
But as we talked some more I realized what the real Secret is to his success, or to mine, or to anyone's. It is not just that the product has to be good - there are lots of those. It is not just that the upline has to be supportive - there are a few of those.
No. The real secret is HIMSELF, his character. He is a Caring, Compassionate, Gentle, Loving Soul in whose presence you simply feel warmed and welcomed and nurtured and loved. He is not full of sales techniques or dynamic charisma or product knowledge. He is not a big salesman.
He connects, lovingly, sincerely, without judgment to the you that you are.
Which is why he is such a good teacher, why I cherish him as a mentor/teacher, why I love to just spend time chatting and listening to him.
Would you, like me, care to become a successful, dream-fulfilling marketer in whatever venture you have chosen?
Become a Loving Connector to others.

He connects, lovingly, sincerely, without judgment to the you that you are.
Which is why he is such a good teacher, why I cherish him as a mentor/teacher, why I love to just spend time chatting and listening to him.
Would you, like me, care to become a successful, dream-fulfilling marketer in whatever venture you have chosen?
Become a Loving Connector to others.
