Urgent Action Needed!!
Hi EW Family,
Please read the info below and use the links at the bottom of this page to send a quick email to your representatives!!
There they go again . . .
Under the guise of "protecting the consumer," those in Congress and the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) who serve the interests of Big Pharma have struck two new simultaneous blows to your freedom to buy supplements you want at a reasonable price. Your voice is needed NOW to let these guys know if they persist in this nonsense they will have a political revolt on their hands!
(See links for your participation below!)
On July 1st, Senator Dick Durbin introduced S. 1310, the "Dietary Supplement Labeling Act of 2011." The impact of this legislation would be to impose very expensive and unnecessary requirements on supplement companies to prove ingredients in their products are "safe." In a one-two punch, on the same day, the FDA issued a draft guidance statement on supplement ingredient approval processes with a similar intent.
Drug companies spend millions to get a drug approved, and they like it this way. They'd like to have you believe that these millions are spent to make sure their drugs are safe; but you just need to note how many drugs are recalled over grave safety issues to know this claim is bogus. Drugs, properly prescribed and administered, kill close to half a million people annually (supplements kill none).
No, the millions are spent on what amounts to an elaborate public relations campaign (in which scientific data unfavorable to a drug are often suppressed), and serve as a barrier to keep smaller companies out of the running. Big Pharma doesn't mind spending millions on getting a drug approved because they will more than make up for it with hefty prices charged to the consumer.
By pressuring supplement companies to spend more and more on jumping through various bureaucratic hoops (which will not make supplements an iota safer, nor have any benefit at all to the consumer), Big Pharma wins in several ways: 1) Access to many supplements will be denied. Drugs may be taken in their place; 2) Prices for those supplements that are available will go up dramatically, driving more and more people to choose drugs covered by various insurance plans instead; 3) Supplement companies will be driven out of business; and 4) If Big Pharma has its way completely, supplements will be classified as drugs, and drug companies will take over the supplement market, charging the same exhorbitant prices for supplements as they currently charge for drugs.
This insanity has to stop, and only we can stop it!
The Alliance for Natural Health has made your participation easy. Just filling in your name and address will send a sample letter (which you can modify if you choose) to your Congressional reps and the FDA. You will need to do one for S. 1310 and another for the FDA proposed guidelines .

Must Read Testimony from Health & Harmony!
Hi guys,
Here is a must ready testimony from Health and Harmony regarding Syndrome K and Celicore which most of you are familiar with!!
Here is a must ready testimony from Health and Harmony regarding Syndrome K and Celicore which most of you are familiar with!!
The Power of Syndrome K
Below is research from Lee Woolley and Mike Casey showing the power of these products this testimony is realand unedited directly from the patient:
We have now fully documented that Celicore DOES NOT re-create a CONFLICT ACTIVE state as was originally thought in GNM related evaluations.
Due to the fact that her transplant has ‘become her own’ it is clear that the CELICORE operate in a much more cellular signaling way and bypasses the NeuroGenic Programming Commands.
This is the validation we needed because we don’t want to stimulate anyone back into a conflict active state! Celicore Stem Cells are healing the tissues based on a cellular signaling level.
Please Read Below:
In August of 1997 I received a 6 antegen cadavaric kidney due to Renal Failure caused by Polycystic Kidney Disease. I am one of 4 siblings with PKD. After about 8 years on the typical immunosuppressant meds (and others) I started experiencing crisis, like I wasn't doing well. I was forced to seek other answers and that is when I began my journey into natural medicine and wellness. Soon I was feeling much better, so I continued along gradually getting off many meds while still taking imy recommended mmunosuppression meds.
Last year, this time, my creatinine slipped off and into the hospital I went. My transplant was 12 years old.
Their solutions only worsened my condition. That is when I was introduced to Syndrome K. Prior to that I was taking the KDY 8 and some amount of Master Cell Rejuvenator. I also had just introduced Serrapetase to clean out the cystic tissue.
While in the hospital they biopsied my transplant and informed me it was "toast." They scolded me for using non-traditional meds in my condition and asked me to choose dialysis or transplant as soon as possible. I prayed about it and realized that "whatever I come into agreement with, that is what will manifest as my reality." So, much to their frustration with me, I held on to faith and hope and refused to be afraid. I chose to continue on course.
I called Health and Harmony and started with the Syndrome K on a regular basis. I started using the Master Cell regularly and correctly with the KDY 8 spray. I also continued taking the Serrapetase.
One year later my creatinine is stable, I feel great, and the traditional docs have told me to keep doing what I'm doing because they say now that "Jill obviously knows something that we don't."
Today my Neoral dose got lowered, again, from 150mg a day to 125mg a day and no problems with the transplant.
Thanks "My Health and Harmony" staff, I'm spreading the word and having fun doing it.

EW News & Friday's GNM Class!
Dear EW family,
It’s always such a pleasure to write my bi-weekly newsletter. We are really working to improve the quality and add more articles of interest, as well as, articles that I will write.
Last week our class on the History of Grains and What Has Gone Wrong in the US, was so amazing. Everyone participated and friendships among each other are being built. This is so exciting because my vision of having an Energetic Wellness natural health community is coming to fruition!!! Of course at the end of the lecture, I prepared some wonderful sprouted spelt pancakes, sprouted brown rice and a sprouted spelt yogurt cake with a warm blueberry sauce!! A huge thank you to Shawna who baked a loaf of sprouted spelt loaf of bread to share!! Everything was so yummy. Once you start eating pure whole foods and experience the delicious taste, you won’t want to go back to dead grains!!
Our next class is with Dr. Chris Lowthert, my dear friend, and colleague of German New Medicine. Dr. Chris will be discussing Self Devaluation Conflicts and Musculoskeletal pain. You won’t want to miss this class. If you missed the Introduction to GNM a few weeks ago, please click here to review the 5 Biological Laws and plan on coming this Friday!!!
Have a great week and I’ll see you on Friday.
Love and Blessings,
Michele

So Sorry for Slow Posting - Crazy Busy
Hello everyone, I am so sorry for not posting as often as I had planned. We are spending a lot of time planning for our daughters wedding on February 25th. Steve has another meal photos to share. He went to Panera Bread and ordered a half Caesar Salad with a cup of Black Bean Soup, oh, and he replaced the bread option with an apple.
Keep hanging in there, soon these choices will become a great habit. Love you all, Michele

Conference Call
Hello everyone,
I just got off of the conference call tonight. As usually it was very good. There are a few faithfuls that are on every time. I so appreciate their desire to learn and apply a healthy lifestyle.
Today while exercising I drank my green drink, which consists of about 2 to 3 oz. of energy boost, good iH20 water, a heaping T. of Pure Synergy Green drink and a heaping 1/2 teaspoon of pure radiance C powder. After walking for 45 minutes I had an energy smoothie, goat kefir, 1 raw egg, 2 scoops of enzyme powder 1/2 teaspoon of raw honey and frozen strawberries. YUMMY!! For lunch, I had a meeting at Panera, so I had a grilled chicken Caesar salad, no croutons. For dinner, Steven and I enjoyed leftover chicken soup. (same as last nights dinner). We also had about 1/2 cup of organic cottage cheese with fresh pineapple. Cottage cheese is now on phase 2 foods to enjoy.
Love to all,
Michele

Phase Two About to Begin
Hello Everyone,
So sorry I haven't written this weekend. In fact, from here on out I most likely won't write on the weekend. As you know I live what I teach and feel that quite, family time on the weekends is really needed. No computer, for the most part and NO phones!!
We had a great class on Friday. Bone broths was the topic. I demonstrated how to create your bone broth from a chicken carcass and from scratch. I also lectured a little bit while cooking on the benefits of bone broths traditionally.
So for the last couple of days Steven and I have enjoyed chicken soup made a couple different ways. Today, with the broth made at the class, I added frozen spinach, frozen green beans, a large onion, a rutabaga, a turnip, the reserved chicken and I made little turkey meatballs that I added as well. Along with 1 T. of real salt, 1 T. of herbamare and fresh parsley. It was very delicious and filling.
This morning I walked 60 min. on the treadmill, went in the sauna and enjoyed a wonderful strawberry smoothie afterward made with plain goat kefir, frozen organic strawberries, 2 scoops of formula 30 enzyme powder, 1/2 t. honey and 1 raw egg. It was so yummy!! I think it was the best smoothie I ever made:) For lunch I just picked on walnuts, a couple slices of goat cheese and some fruit.
Talk to you tomorrow night on the call!!
Blessings,
Michele

Some Meal Photos - Steven
Lunch at Panera Bread at a client's office. I did not eat the croutons.
Grass fed beef burgers with broccoli and brussel sprouts, and of course goat cheese. I have to admit, this was too much food so saved a burger for breakfast.
Yum!! Leftover burger and brussel sprouts with two eggs! I mean this was awesome!

Roasted "Crockpot" Chicken
Hello!! Wow, what a full day. Busy day at the office, wonderful appointments. The body is so amazing cause when we give it what it needs it responds and people are amazed at how they feel!!!
So sorry I didn't blog last night. I had the conference call and shared what we had for dinner then after the call went right to bed so you will get both days today.
Yesterday morning for breakfast I had two eggs with sauteed vegetables. Had a very small lunch maybe 4 oz. of yogurt and blueberries, and some crispy almonds. I ordered meet from Walnut Creek farms but the distributer JB was not able to deliver it till today and we were dying for beef so I stopped at Target and bought Maverick Organic ground beef. It is ok, not like good grass fed beef, but it convenient in a pinch. So we had burgers, brussell sprouts and lemony Parmesan broccoli. I usually put bread crumbs in my burgers but I didn't since we are not eating grains, so I just put 1 egg, a little water, garlic powder, salt, pepper and parsley. I steamed the brussell sprouts then drained and put real salt and butter on them. The lemony parm broccoli was amazing. Melt 2 T butter in large skillet with 2 cloves of fresh minced garlic, and 1/4 t of red pepper flakes. Stir a couple minutes at broccoli florets (I also cut up the stem in small pieces). Add 1/4 cup water 2 T lemon juice and 2 t. lemon zest, toss and cover with lid and simmer for about 10 minutes or until you like it. Add a little Real salt and serve. It was really yummy. We topped the burger with goat cheddar. Oh also, when serving the broccoli add to taste grated cheese. Instead of parmesan, I always and have for years use Picerino Romano. Picerino Romano is made from sheeps milk and is not pasteurized so it is a perfect choice and is much healthier and tastier than parmasan.
Today for breakfast I had two eggs over easy with 1/4 avocado. That is probably my favorite breakfast ever!! Today was so busy I think I missed lunch but had a wonderful dinner. This morning before I left for work I put a thawed roasting chicken in the crock pot. Unfortunately, the chicken was so big I couldn't include very many vegetables, so I just put a few stalks of celery, and an onion with chicken seasoning that I get from OKC Organics. I also put about a cup of water and about a 1/2 of white wine.
Jessica came over early before I came home and started the vegetables. Sauteed carrots and asparagus. It was a very yummy dinner. After dinner I de-boned the chicken, stored the left over chicken in the frig. and put all the bones, fat, juice, left over vegi's in a stock pot along with some frozen chicken feet added water brought it to a boil and now it is simmering on the stove over night. I will have nice chicken broth made to show the class on Friday.
It was exciting to here the ladies on the call last night ask wonderful questions. I'm really proud of all of you to making a difference in your life towards vibrant health. God Bless, Michele

Home Sweet Home!!
Hi Everyone,
Marion and I made it home safely tonight. We left a little early because of the weather. The seminar was excellent. I am sure you will here about it sooner or later.
Today I fasted for breakfast because I didn't feel very hungry and we had to pack this morning and load the car before the seminar started. For lunch we ate at the hotel restaurant and enjoyed their buffet. I made a great salad, also had sauteed vegetables that were cooked to order by the chef along with a piece of swordfish. They had chicken noodle soup but again I just took the broth. It was ok, nothing like what I am going to teach you on Friday:) For dinner, since we had such a big lunch, I had a salad with boiled egg and goat cheese.
So glad to be home. I look forward to our call tomorrow night to see how all of you are doing.
Talk to you soon.
Michele

5th Day - Steven
Hey everyone! I moved my office Friday afternoon and blew something out in my upper right shoulder and neck. I did this about 4 months ago and it was grueling. I did not move around much yesterday but I was able to sauna for 40 minutes (great sweat). I am trying to exercise or sauna everyday during the challenge.
I had another bowl of goat yogurt and fruit. Mainly because I love it and I need to take another picture. Organic blue berries and black berries. I mean this is too good!
For lunch and dinner I had just a simple salad with a lot of greens. I added goat cheese for protein. I needed to add some meat or fish of some kind but to be honest, I did not want to stand any longer.
I am down 5.3lbs. At this rate I think my goal of 20lbs is doable.
Thanks
Steven
5th Day - Michele
Hi everyone,
Today was amazing at the energetics seminar!! I am learning so much. It is a confirmation of the work I am doing as well as new thoughts and things to apply!!
Today for breakfast I had 2 boiled eggs and Red Woodhill farms vanilla goat yogurt which I brought from home:) thank goodness our hotel room has a little frig. For lunch I enjoyed a mixed green salad, organic chicken, cucumbers yellow squash, red onion and raw goat cheddar salad with raw dressing again all brought from home. It's fortunate that the seminar is in the hotel and on the same floor as our room. This has made it very convenient to run to the room on our breaks and for lunch. For dinner we ate at the hotel restaurant again. I had to have the mahi mahi again because the Salmon was farm raised:( I chose different vegi's this time, zucchini, carrot and broccoli sautéed in butter. It was good. I feel like I ate a little too much today for me. I am not use to eating three big meals and they seemed big to me today. On days like that I will purpose to eat lighter tomorrow:) of course I'm not able to track any weight loss because of being away but will when I get home:)
I did not realize that most likely I will not make it home Monday night in time to start the conference call, therefore we will reschedule the call for Tuesday night at 8 pm CST. Steven will send out an email on Sunday with the new information and the girls will send a reminder on Monday!!
Have a great night!!

4th Day - Steven
Today I had yogurt for breakfast but forgot to take a picture. I will have it take a pic tomorrow. Wait until you see.
I spoke today at a local Rotary Club meeting and I was pleasantly surprised by their outstanding choices. I picked baked salmon, onions, tomatoes, and zucchini. The salad plate has strawberries and no dressing. Could not find anything with good oil.
Dinner was two hot-dogs (really healthy ones) cooked in eggs with some peppers and onions. For the picture again!
HEY!!! So far I am down 5 lbs!!!!!!!!!!!

Menu for Today!!!
Today was so busy! I made today my partial fast, although I only fasted from food for breakfast.
So, I had my normal probiotics, green drink, and made my MCR to go. Went to work and had a cup of hot Yerbe Matte Royal tea and drank my MCR throughout the day. I had a lunch appointment at The Red Cup on Classen. I love the Red Cup. Its a great place to go and meet a friend and have a healthful meal. Being on the challenge, I was able to pick something that stayed in line with the Foods to Enjoy. I had a Lentil Patty on top of a tossed mixed green salad. It was so yummy!!! I can't believe I forgot to take a picture:) For dinner, Organic burger with broccoli rabe. I first sauteed onions, mushrooms with fresh garlic in butter than added the broccoli rabe and cooked on low with a lid until soft. Oh, I also seasoned with Real Salt. I believe the burger was from Target. It wasn't in its original package so I'm not quite sure. If it was from Target it would have been Laura's Organic Hormone and Antibiotic free boxed beef burgers. I usually try to have those on hand for a quick meal, especially if I forgot to take something out in the morning to thaw. Anyway, I melted butter in a stainless steel fry pan added about a heaping T. of miso, about a half cup of water and a little tamari soy sauce, then added the frozen burger patties. I cooked it on low with a lid and turned it over a couple of times. I cooked it just until the pinkness went away.
The meal was really yummy and again half way through we said Oh no we forgot a picture!! We will try to be better about that!!
Tomorrow I will be traveling to Dallas with Marion for a weekend seminar. I am packing crispy almonds, perfect food bars (red raspberry green bars without the chocolate coating), hard boiled eggs, might pack a salad for the road. I'll blog tomorrow night and let you know how it goes. Of course, I'll blog while there every evening. This will be an excellent example for you of how to travel and still eat properly, even on the challenge!!!!
Hope you are doing well!! I am thinking of all of you everyday.
Blessings, Michele

Being on the challenge, I was able to pick something that stayed in line with the Foods to Enjoy. I had a Lentil Patty on top of a tossed mixed green salad. It was so yummy!!! I can't believe I forgot to take a picture:) For dinner, Organic burger with broccoli rabe. I first sauteed onions, mushrooms with fresh garlic in butter than added the broccoli rabe and cooked on low with a lid until soft. Oh, I also seasoned with Real Salt. I believe the burger was from Target. It wasn't in its original package so I'm not quite sure. If it was from Target it would have been Laura's Organic Hormone and Antibiotic free boxed beef burgers. I usually try to have those on hand for a quick meal, especially if I forgot to take something out in the morning to thaw. Anyway, I melted butter in a stainless steel fry pan added about a heaping T. of miso, about a half cup of water and a little tamari soy sauce, then added the frozen burger patties. I cooked it on low with a lid and turned it over a couple of times. I cooked it just until the pinkness went away.
The meal was really yummy and again half way through we said Oh no we forgot a picture!! We will try to be better about that!!
Tomorrow I will be traveling to Dallas with Marion for a weekend seminar. I am packing crispy almonds, perfect food bars (red raspberry green bars without the chocolate coating), hard boiled eggs, might pack a salad for the road. I'll blog tomorrow night and let you know how it goes. Of course, I'll blog while there every evening. This will be an excellent example for you of how to travel and still eat properly, even on the challenge!!!!
Hope you are doing well!! I am thinking of all of you everyday.
Blessings, Michele
3rd Day - Steven
I decided to head to Jason's Deli to have lunch. They are an awesome alternative to fast food places. Their chicken is antibiotic/hormone free, many vegetables are organic and the select is awesome.What a nice buffet!
I may have taken too much but it was GOOOD!
Dinner Wednesday Night
This was an amazing vegetable soup with diced chicken and then goat cheese sprinkled on top. I have to tell you, it was filling. I had two bowls (eyes bigger than my stomach) and felt it was just too much,

Dinner tonight
Hi Everyone, Dinner was awesome tonight although we ate much later than normal. We are planning a February wedding for our daughter Jessica so every spare minute has been making arrangements for the big event.
Anyway, I got home late, thank goodness I had broth made in the refrigerator, so I put together a quick vegetable, chicken, egg drop soup. It was really delicious. It only took 45 minutes from start to finish. The ingredients: chicken broth, chicken (reserved from boiling the chicken for the broth) onion, celery, frozen organic green beans, carrots, eggs. Put the broth in a small dutch oven add all vegetables, salt and herbamare to taste, when the vegetables are soft (depending on how you like them) I cooked mine for about an 1/2 hour. I did bring it to a boil, that sped up the process. Add chicken, heat for 5 minutes, then add a couple eggs. Crack them right in the pot then stir right away with a fork whisking several times. If I had fresh spinach I would have added the spinach right before the chicken. It only needs a couple minutes to cook in the hot soup. Or if I had frozen spinach I would have put that in when I put all the other vege's in.
We topped it with shredded raw goat cheddar. It was yummy. Of course Steven took a picture:) So I'm sure he will send it.
Next Friday in the Health Awareness class, I will be be demonstrated how to make broth and the many things you can do with it.
Good Night!!!

Eggs & Vegatables - Steven Menzel
If you chop your veggies the night before it makes the morning much quicker. It only took 10 minutes to prepare everything.
Here are the veggies, don't over cook and lose the nutrients.
All I do is crack some eggs (4 in this case) over the veggies.
I wait and break the yokes just before I remove them from the pan, this way the nutrition is not cooked out of them.They were awesome! I prefer to eat them in a
bowl. Just seems easier, especially if I'm eating them on my way to work like today. (oops, did I just commit a crime?)

First Day of Challenge
For breakfast I had 2 eggs over easy prepared in butter, and a kefir smoothie, consisting of kefir and berries with 2 scoops of enzyme powder. For lunch as you can see from the picture I had a chopped salad. It was really awesome, mixed greens, red pepper, red onion, cucumber, and organic chicken. Topped with Italian dressing.
For dinner we had marinaded mahi mahi and broccoli rabe. Marinade: olive oil, white wine, pepper and the juice of a grapefruit, for 1 hour. Then I sauted it in butter and sprinkled with salt. I sauteed the broccoli rabe in butter til soft. It was yummy.
So that was our food for the day!!! Talk to you tomorrow...
