*DrSamPT Updates

1. Retreats- My Raw-habilitation Retreat Page continues to be updated. Since I still have some people sitting on the fence about coming to one of the retreats, I've decided to extend a $100 discount to anyone who signs up before March 1st. This means payment is sent via paypal or a check is postmarked by March 1st, 2011. Please don't hesitate to contact me via email if you should have any questions about these awesome events. Please don't wait and let another year slip by without taking action towards improving your health. More details can be found here>>> RAW-habilitation.com

2.  Articles- The latest edition of Vibrance Magazine (e-zine) has come out and I had a couple of articles published in it. My friend's farm in Costa Rica where my retreats will be held, "Finca de Vida," was featured in this latest edition as well. This magazine is a great addition to one's health regimen. You can see some sample article thumbnails from the latest and past editions here>>> Sample Vibrance Magazine

3. Radio- I continue to be a guest on Dr. Steve Monkiewicz's "Real Health Podcast Show." His show is now reaching approximately 1/2 million listeners on HealthyLife.net. Dr. Steve's Show is on the air every Wednesday at 12pm noon Pacific time. (Note: This means:  East Coast EST is: + 3 hrs; Central CST: + 2 hrs; Mountain MST: + 1 hr). I will keep you all informed of future show appearances. More details can be found here>>> HealthyLife.net

*Has the world gone crazy?

Have you been wondering lately: What's Up?  With significant political uprisings, various species die offs, major global weather pattern shifts, and chaotic behaviors among the masses, something is definitely up. Well... what is it? Has the world gone crazy?

I'm not sure what is up, but I do know that what we are all feeling is CHANGE!

Yes, things are changing rapidly on the planet right now. Many people are being faced with strange physical ailments, mental distress, emotional outbreaks, and intense spiritual lessons. Many people have reported to me: feeling heavy, the need for more sleep, the inability to stay focused and grounded, old patterns resurfacing, irritability, and trouble tuning into what their bodies want and need.

So, if you have experienced this, then you are part of the "Get Ready to Change Club."

Change is sometimes uncomfortable, but this is just part of life. So, we must deal with it. The planet is "giving birth" to a new era- a new age of consciousness. Those that are willing to accept this can bliss forth if they choose to. Old patterns will stop working. They will no longer serve us as they once did. Many are feeling this right now. The scriptures tells us: "Many are called, but few choose." We must be willing to listen to the right messages and change with the times if we want to survive and be happy and healthy.

More than ever, I encourage all of you to go within quietly each day to get the answers you need. This practice will be paramount. Sacrifices will need to be made. Tears may be shed. Frustrations may surface. Feelings intensified. Numbing oneself with unhealthy vices will no longer work. The planet is waking up! New portals (of consciousness) are opening.

We must choose whether we want to step through these open gates and experience a greater life, or remain in a state of being that will not serve oneself or the planet's greatest good. The road may be rocky. The bumps may be intense at times. You can choose to have faith and courage, or you can choose to have fear and shut down. 

I know what my choice is going to be.

*Words to Ponder...

Nothing will benefit human health and increase chances for survival of life on Earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet.- Albert Einstein

There is no right or wrong, but there are consequences. Moralizing doesn't help. Judgments only hold the patterns in place. Just do your best.- Author Unknown

Turn your face to the sun and the shadows fall behind you. -Maori proverb

*Simple Raw Soup

Here is a simple raw soup recipe to capture your sweet tooth and bring a smile to your face. 

Ingredients:

1. 1 large mango

2. 1 large tomato (or 2 small-medium tomatoes)

Directions: Peel the mango and take out the pit. Blend the mango in a blender to a creamy consistency. Cut up the tomato into small chunks. Blend half the chunks into the mango base. Put the other half of the tomato chunks directly into the soup.

Enjoy!

*Q & A with Dr. SAM

Question: K.M. asks: "Are you familiar with a new artificial sweetener named Neotame?"

Answer: Yes, Neotame is an Asparatame derivative. Despite some so called "research" saying it's safe, I would avoid this product (and ALL other artificial sweeteners) as much as possible! Neotame is not really new. I believe it was approved several years ago.

What appears to be new, however, is the fact that the FDA will allow this product to be put into even "certified organic" products and not have to list it on any label. So, where does this leave us? Grow your own food. Buy local. Buy only from trusted sources.

Here is an article on >>>  Neotame

Thanks for your question.
