Submitted by Craig Geswindt on Tue, 12/15/2009 - 14:06To be great and excel in anything you do, its important to first and foremost get your mind right. Mental Attitude is one of the most important ingredients in any 'success' recipe.
"Failure or success in business is primarily not determined by mental capacity but by MENTAL ATTITUDES" ~ Walter Dill Scott
And that applies to anything not only to business.
But don't take my word for it, check out Arnold Schwarzenegger's mental attitude. I have listed some of his quotes throughout his life. If you I can resolve to practice the same mental attitude or better nothing will be impossible for you to achieve:

1. Over 40 studies show that eating oatmeal may help lower cholesterol and reduce the risk of heart disease. According to Quaker, all it takes is 3/4 cup of oatmeal each day to help lower cholesterol. The soluble fiber in oats helps remove LDL or "bad" cholesterol, while maintaining the good cholesterol that your body needs. In January 1997, the Food and Drug Administration announced that oatmeal could carry a label claiming it may reduce the risk of heart disease when combined with a low-fat diet.
2. The soluble fiber in oatmeal absorbs a considerable amount of water which significantly slows down your digestive process. This result is that you'll feel full longer, i.e. oatmeal can help you control your weight.
3. You probably already have oats in your kitchen. It's estimated that eighty percent of U.S. households currently have oats in their cupboards.
4. New research suggests that eating oatmeal may reduce the risk for type 2 diabetes. In fact, the American Diabetes Association already recommends that people with diabetes eat grains like oats. The soluble fiber in these foods help to control blood glucose levels.
5. With the exception of certain flavored varieties, the oats found in your grocery store are 100% natural. If you look at the ingredients on a canister of rolled oats, you will usually see only one ingredient... rolled oats.
6. According to recent studies, a diet that includes oatmeal may help reduce high blood pressure. The reduction is linked to the increase in soluble fiber provided by oatmeal. Oats contain more soluble fiber than whole wheat, rice or corn.
7. Oatmeal contains a wide array of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants and is a good source of protein, complex carbohydrates and iron.
8. The fiber and other nutrients found in oatmeal may actually reduce the risk for certain cancers.
9. Oatmeal is quick and convenient. Every type of oatmeal can be prepared in a microwave oven. Even when cooked on the stovetop, both old-fashioned and quick oats can usually be made in less than 10 minutes. And what about instant oatmeal… a hot breakfast in under a minute... incredible!
10. Oatmeal can be absolutely delicious! Whether instant, cooked on the stove or baked in the oven, the combination of flavors you can fit into a serving of oatmeal is limited only by the imagination. V
I eat oatmeal everyday.
So go ahead try it for yourself.

PART 4 - The Medicinal Power of Herbs
Submitted by Craig Geswindt on Wed, 07/29/2009 - 08:02Hi Guys,
Finally I got around to finishing part 4 of ‘The Medicinal Power of Herbs’
Today I introduce 1 fantastic herb:
• Calendula, Marigold
Calendula

This herbal tea is used as a:
• Blood cleanser
• Helps in infectious hepatitis
• Cleanses, stimulates circulation and improves healing of wounds
• Diarrhea
• Paratyphoid fever
• Stomach cramps
• Gastro-intestinal disorders
• Stomach ulcers
• Inflammation of the large intestine
• Dropsy
• Blood in the urine
• It is excellent for virus infections and bacteria in the urine
• Disorders of the liver
The ointment can be used for and brings swift relief & healing in:
• Varicose veins
• Phlebitis
• Varicose ulcers
• Fistulas
• Frost bits and burns
• Athlete’s foot
• Scabs in the nose area

Some Testimonies:
1.
A man accidentally put his hand in a circular saw. He had great pain in the wounds, after release from the hospital. He was told to use Calendula ointment. He was enthusiastic about the results and told me that the pain, which had cost him many sleepless nights, had disappeared after a short time. His wife now plants Calendula in the garden every year.
2.
On a visit, the lady of the house showed me her legs covered with varicose veins.
I fetched Calendula from her garden and prepared the ointment. The residue I put immediately on her legs (the residues can be used 4 to 5 times). She spread the ointment, the thickness of a back of a knife, on a piece of linen and bandaged her legs with it. You will be surprised, when I tell you that, 4 weeks later, when she visited me at home, the varicose veins had disappeared. Both legs had nice smooth skin.
3.
A nun told me that she saw a woman in the street with especially bad varicose veins and advised her to use Calendula ointment. Great was her surprise when, after a month, the same woman joyfully showed her, her legs, smooth and free of varicose veins.
(The ointment brings swift relief in phlebitis, varicose ulcers, fistulas, frost bites and burns. Use the ointment and also the residue of ointment preparations for ulcers on the breast, even if they are malignant.)
4.
An acquaintance of mine had to have her breast removed. While she was in hospital, I prepared Calendula ointment. Later she used it on her huge wound from the operation, whereby the great tension of the wound was quickly eliminated. In a check-up her scars from the operation, compared to the scars of the other patients, showed such a beautiful heal that she needed only part of the prescribed ray treatment.
5.
The calendula ointment is also excellent for Athlete’s foot. Many letters I have received bear this out, especially in cases where all other remedies were of no avail. A decoction of the fresh herb can also be used with success.
6.
Should fungus infestation start around the area of the genitals, bathe the affected area or use sitz baths. Take 50mg dried or 2 heaped double handfuls of fresh Calendula per sitz bath.
7.
A woman wrote that her husband had suffered from Athlete’s foot and what had they not tried...baths, ointments, powders, none showed results. Then he tried Calendula ointment. After 8 days the open parts had healed and stayed that way. Besides the ointment, a Calendula tincture should be prepared. This tincture diluted with boiled water is especially suited as a compress for wounds, contusions, bruises and sprains, even for festering or cancer-like sores, bedsores, ulcers and swellings.
[Calendula is a remedy for malignant growth. Calendula is named as the most important remedy in cancer illnesses if it’s too late for an operation and the daily drinking of Calendula tea for a prolonged period is recommended. The freshly pressed juice of Calendula can be used successfully even in cancer of the skin. Strawberry marks, covered with the fresh juice several times a day for a prolonged period, can be made to disappear; the same goes for pigment spots and brown spots on elderly people, also rough, cancerlike skin patches.]
In recent times the American physician and scientist Dr Drwey points out the unique healing quality of Calendula in cancer, he was able to note good success with Calendula.
8.
What wonderful results the use of the tea of fresh Calendula has is noted in a letter a physician sent to me: “A small 2 ½ year old girl became very sick after repeated polio inoculations. She had chronic diarrhorea, loss of weight, visual weakness and difficulties with food. In a clinical checkup, paratyphoid fever was diagnosed and the child was therefore under clinical supervision. One week after drinking tea, made of fresh Calendula flowers and some homeopathic medicines, the child was substantially better. The examination for typhoid bacillus, carried out 3 times shortly afterwards, was negative for the first time.”
9.
A nurse who suffered from inflammation of the large intestine for 8 years, had an appointment with a specialist. She was advised to take the Calendula tea. For 4 days she sipped 2 cups of Calendula tea during the day. She could hardly believe it when after this short use of Calendula all the complaints were gone.
10.
A nun told me she suffered from diarrhea. Although she drank Chamomile tea, it did not get better. Only after she had used Calendula tea was there an improvement.
11.
A nun suffered from Athlete’s foot for 15 years and also repeatedly from phlebitis. Through the application of Calendula ointment she finally experience a healing of her feet.
Since Calendula is also beneficial for infectious hepatitis, it is an excellent remedy in disorders of the liver. Flowers, leaves and stems are brewed with boiling water. The tea should not be sweetened. For the above mentioned disorders drink 3 to 4 cups a day, about a tablespoonful every quarter of an hour. A tea made from 1 tablespoon of flowers to ¼ litre of water will expel worms. The juice of the fresh stem gets rid of warts and scabies, the boiled infusion heals herpes and glandular swellings, if the affected parts are bathed in it. The tea, drunk regularly purifies the blood. The eyes, bathed with an eye bath of the lukewarm tea, are strengthened.
Cancerlike ulcers and growths, cracked feet, ulcerated legs, thigh ulcers and also malignant, suppurating, non-healing wounds are helped by washing with an infusion of equal parts of Calendula and Horsetail. Use a heaped tablespoon of this blend to ½ litre of water.
Maybe you are suffering from one of the diseases above. You’ve tried doctors, specialists, expensive medicines. Your medical aid fund is maxed out. Your credit card funds are maxed out. My message to you is: All hope is not lost. Hope is never lost until you allow it to be lost. Keep that hope alive. Give God’s pharmacy a try. Keep looking for the answer. Don’t stop. You’ll find it! Never give up.
