Guest guest Posted December 23, 2003 Report Share Posted December 23, 2003 Gazillinaire? You don't have to perfect those things, Mike! We just need to somehow let people know what you can already do! I'm thinking - Oprah! Well, maybe start with the Seattle Times! If people knew about your gift, they would be flocking to your door by the millions. Hey - I was on the radio today. Called in to Dori Monsons show about the mad cow case here. I lived in England at the tail end of theirs. He wanted to know if people were not gonna eat beef now. I said yes, we would still eat it. We did in England, and I didn't know one person who quit eating it over there. The only worry is that we cannot donate blood here anymore. I never did donate, but Tom did. I don't think I'm healthy enough to donate. I can't believe I called in to his show. That is something I never would have done before. I guess I've got a new found confidence! I wonder where that came from? Oh, I know.......................... You! Re: Hair FALLING OUT! Mike Gazillinaire? Give it five years and I would be able to give Bill Gates a run! Actually, now that I am retired, my " dream " is to (1) perfect a wrinkle/face-lift routine using a combination of specific acupressure points to stimulate circulation, followed by a lymphatic drainage facial to flush wastes and toxins to improve skin tone, and (2) figure out some way to use energy to stimulate hair follicles for regrowth. The hair thing is more of a fantasy than anything else. The wrinkle/face-lift thing is anything but - that's a reality. I already know how to do it, just havn't done much with it so far. Sounds to me like stress could definitely be a factor in your life. Ok - now onto your question about Tsubos. Tsubo is just another word for acupressure points. That's what they are called in Japan. Will they help? Depends on what you want to use them for. If you are thinking in terms of hair loss, maybe or maybe not. If the hair loss is caused by something other than stress, then the answer is probably no. However, if the hair loss is in fact caused by psychological stress, than the answer is very likely. They would do nothing to affect the hair loss per se. What they would do is help control your stress levels, which in turn could be causing the hair loss. And I assure you, acupressure can be extremely effective for stress and pain management. As for finding it, you may or may not find it at either Borders or and Noble in their alternative medicine sections. I have seen it in both, but it is not heavily stocked, like the latest Harry Potter. If they have it in stock at all, it is usually just one or maybe two copies. The book I generally recommend for someone just starting out with acupressure for self help is " Acupressure's Potent Points " by Gach. Keep in mind that my personal reference library has over two dozen books on acupuncture and acupressure alone. I have found this one to be by far the best general " if I only had one " type book on the subject and is by far the most user friendly for someone just starting out. Gach does not reference baldness at all, but he does have some excellent sections on stress and anxiety. I have several others that are at a much higher level that I use personally, but they are not ones I would either recommend for a beginner or try to use to walk someone thru something via email. Either the Gach or Serizawa books would be good. Both are also readily available at decent prices through Amazon.com. Gach tends to run quite a bit cheaper, particularly on the used market. But neither one is going to cost you more than about $20 (and sometimes as low as $10.) Of the two, however, I think I would suggest you go for the Gach book. Again, it is the easiest to use and he does have an excellent section on dealing with stress. Actually, the routine he has in the book is essentially the same one that is being used by a lot of first responders (police/fire/emts) for crisis/trauma intervention. If you do decide to get the book, check back with me and I will give you some pointers on actually doing it. > In a message dated 12/23/2003 11:16:03 AM Pacific Standard Time, > mike@u... writes: > I can reset > dislocated bones by touch but I can't make hair grow.

If people knew about your gift, they would be flocking to your door by the millions. > Thanks for the testamonical. But all kidding aside, I have been giving extremely serious thought for the last eight months on the best way to approach the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to suggest that they take just a tiny bit of the money they have been handing out for World Health Projects and apply it to serious, legitimate research to help validate some of the alternative and/or complementary therapies. If they would put up a significant award, say Five Million Dollars, for the first person or organization to successfully and scientificaly validate the human energetic systems, such as meridians and chakras, it would change the face of health care in this country (and the world) like nothing else in the last 100 years. And the beauty of it is that it would be a risk free proposition. They would have to pay out nothing until someone succeeded. All they would have to do is make the announcement that the award was there for the taking. The mere fact of their organization being the ones to offer the award would give a substanial credence and impetus to it as well. I have not done anything with the idea yet because the approach needs to be done in such a way that it doesn't get immediately blown off as another " give me your money quick " scheme. Because, lord knows, they get bombarded with those already. And the unfortunate thing about it all is that they are probably the only philanthropic organization with (a) the funds to do it and ( no conflicting interests to prevent. Stop and think about the money sources for most of the other giant ones in the country - petrochemicals and drugs. Ain't no way they going to be slicing off their own toes.

Guest guest Posted December 24, 2003 Report Share Posted December 24, 2003 Testamonical? lol hummmmmmmmmmmm, I have a friend in Calif who has gotten grants for theater groups in the past. So, she knows how to go through the process. I'm just gonna ask her some questions about it. She has a daughter with fibromyalgia, and is very much into alternative medicine. She just may be interested. There was an article in the paper about the local alternative medical college here in Seattle. Forget the name and the paper is in the car. I'll show it to you when you come today. Or, you can wait till me and Tom win the lottery, and we'll put up the money! lol We're thinking we should get that some time this year. (well, hoping) Re: Hair FALLING OUT! Mike > Gazillinaire? You don't have to perfect those things, Mike! We just need to somehow let people know what you can already do! I'm thinking - Oprah!
