Alternative Healing Helps NFL Player

Alternative Healing Helps NFL Player Out

The story below is to me without question an amazing one to come across, and I'm sure there will only be many more like this in the future, or at least I'm hoping there'll be.

Deepak Chopra the acclaimed author on spirituality and mind-body medicine had recently been quoted as saying; "Your Physical Body is a Fiction" and "Your Real Body is Energy" I certainly concur with this too. It appears that this athlete may possibly be following along here in this way as well.

I have on my own discovered many ways in which to replenish and raise your prana or vital energy in order to actually experience greater or optimum levels of health. As a person who regularly practices meditation, I can also give clear testimony to it's real effectiveness in helping our lives, as well as changing them too, and much for the better, I might add.

As Ricky Williams was scoring three touchdowns Thursday, his ``pranic healer'' was listening to the game on the radio in California -- in between conducting a meditation session -- just in case Williams needed his help.
So can a man thousands of miles away help treat Williams' nicks and pain through deep thinking?
It doesn't matter if you or I are skeptical. For Williams, it only matters what he thinks. And he's a believer.
Williams, averaging a career-high 5.3 yards a carry, said the way he cares for his body has a lot to do with his terrific season. There's the vegetarian diet. The daily breathing and meditation, sometimes for two hours.
The acupuncture and massages. The twice-weekly yoga. The new water-based energy drink Evolv that's sold online -- he ``swears by it'' after he drank three bottles before the Saints game and then scored three touchdowns.
``He also does things you wouldn't expect,'' Ronnie Brown said.
One is pranic healing, an alternative medical treatment that originated in the Orient 4,000 years ago. Williams, 32, performs pranic healing on himself and uses a pranic healer, Daniel O'Hara.
Here's how it works: ``Ricky will send me a text message saying, for example, to work on his ankle,'' O'Hara said. O'Hara, in Orange County, Calif., will then ``visualize Ricky's ankle as if he's standing in front of me. I visualize him glowing. I make a sweeping motion over my ankle to remove the dirty energy from his ankle that's creating an abnormality and give his body fresh, revitalizing energy.''
``Ricky could be doing anything when I'm doing this -- watching TV, sleeping,'' O'Hara said. ``It's like a voodoo doll. I know it sounds strange.''
O'Hara said Williams then text messages him indicating how the body part feels. ``He says it's a four, and I'll try to get it to a 10. It takes me four minutes with Ricky because he meditates and has positive energy. It could take 25 minutes with somebody else. He's special.''
Williams, in his Charlotte, N.C., hotel, called O'Hara on Wednesday night and O'Hara said they visualized ``Ricky having three touchdowns and 184 rushing yards'' against Carolina. (He had three touchdowns and ran for 119 yards.) He also worked on Williams' slight arm numbness.
Williams, who appears on O'Hara's website, has done pranic healing since 2007 and said last week, ``Usually, I prefer to work on it myself, but for some of the little nicks I've had this season, Daniel has really helped me. I know for a fact it works. It's fascinating.''
O'Hara said when Williams sprained an ankle in the first Jets game, ``The second I saw that on TV, I started working on him, and when he got back to the sideline, he was fine. He figured I was doing something. I can feel what is going on in his body.''
Williams, held out of the last series against Carolina, had pain in a chest muscle, but coach Tony Sparano said he will be fine.
Encouraged by pranic healing and the other ways to heal his body, Williams said he hasn't ruled out playing beyond 2010. ``I'm looking forward to my plans after football,'' he said Tuesday at his new South Beach restaurant, PROOF. ``But if it's the right situation, it would be difficult to turn down.''
CHATTER
• An FSU official said university president T.K. Wetherell leans toward keeping Bobby Bowden for 2010 (with conditions), but it's not definite: ``T.K. makes his mind up and then waffles.''
FSU officials privately have discussed giving Bowden the option to coach one final season (which he wants), while also allowing coach-in-waiting Jimbo Fisher to hire and fire assistants this offseason and essentially run the program, even with Bowden there. Of the 11 trustees, three strongly want Bowden gone, and several others see merit in a change. But this is Wetherell's call. He will meet with Bowden soon after the UF game Nov. 28.
• Many UM fans hope Miami Northwestern junior quarterback Teddy Bridgewater enrolls in 2011 and succeeds Northwestern alum Jacory Harris when Harris graduates, though Pace High senior/UM oral commitment Stephen Morris will provide competition.
Bridgewater said following Harris at UM is appealing but has no idea if he will go to UM. For now, ``I want to play receiver'' in college, he said. ``Receiver is the first position I played. Miami wants me as a quarterback. Georgia was the front-runner, but I have no front-runner now. Just because [Northwestern alums at UM] want me at Miami doesn't mean I have to. They won't impact my decision.''
• Former FIU center Freddy Asprilla, whom UM coveted, signed with Kansas State instead because he's friends with former UM guard Denis Clemente and has a strong bond with coach Frank Martin, advisor Art Alvarez said. ``He was torn.''
• According to an NBA executive, the Heat said it's open to offers for James Jones -- who has a good chance to be bought out next summer. Because of Quentin Richardson's back injury, Jones started Friday's game.
But Jones played in just three of the Heat's first 10 games because coach Erik Spoelstra likes splitting small forward minutes between Richardson and starting power forward Michael Beasley. And Spoelstra often has used Dorell Wright instead of Jones because Wright is the better ball-handler and defender.

Onions,Garlic, Flu, and Folk Medicine

This piece below was from an e-mail a family member sent to me yesterday. I don't know how effective this may be, however, in light of the current flu situation, it certainly may be well worth the knowing of. While there are probably many effective flu remedies in this world, some are more well known than others, and likely too, some may be quite more effective than others. I've learned that it may be important during this present time to keep not only your body, but your entire being balanced and Ultra-healthy, and reducing, managing,or even where possible avoiding stress in all it's different forms (mental,physical,chemical,emotional, and spiritual) to possibly remain that much more immune healthy and disease resistant. Certainly in addition to this would be to employ some levels of protection to help your immune system and your entire being to remain healthy and disease resistant. I like the regular oral intake of Aloe vera juice, however you need to be drinking plenty of water with this and start out gradually as it's a strong detoxifier of the body. I drink at least a few oz's twice a day taken with juice and mostly away from food. The simple drinking of multiple cups of green tea will also effectively help to keep your body fluids and systems clean and well-functioning. Colloidal Silver Water can be another amazingly effective flu & disease fighting remedy that can be made at home very inexpensively. The MMS remedy is still another very effective remedy. It is available mainly through the internet,is very inexpensive, and is possibly one of the most effective disease neutralizers you'll ever come across. At least that is my opinion. You can follow the MMS protocol well before any outbreak takes place to ensure your own optimum health and then likely just use maintenance doses as a prophylaxis to disease.

Onions,Garlic, Flu, and Folk Medicine

A friend of mine told me a story about how when he was a kid he was in the hospital & near dying. His Italian grandmother came to the hospital & told a family member to go buy her a large onion & a new pair of white cotton socks. She sliced the onion open then put a slice on the bottom of each of his feet & put the white cotton socks on him. In the morning when he awoke they removed the socks. The slices of onion were black & his fever was gone. The following story that someone sent to me might have some truth in it & we are going to try this winter.



In 1919 when the flu killed 40 million people there
was this Doctor that visited the many farmers to see if he could
help them combat the flu.
Many of the farmers and their family had
contracted it and many died.

The doctor came upon this
one farmer and to his surprise, everyone was very healthy.
When the doctor asked what the farmer was doing that was different
the wife replied that she had placed an unpeeled onion in a dish in
the rooms of the home, (probably only two rooms back then).
The doctor couldn't believe it and asked if he could have one
of the onions and place it under the microscope. She
gave him one and when he did this, he did find the flu virus
in the onion. It obviously absorbed the bacteria,
therefore, keeping the family healthy.

Now, I heard
this story from my hairdresser in AZ. She said that several
years ago many of her employees were coming down with the flu and so
were many of her customers. The next year she placed several
bowls with onions around in her shop. To her surprise, none
of her staff got sick. It must work.. (And no, she
is not in the onion business.)

The moral of the story is,
buy some onions and place them in bowls around your home. If
you work at a desk, place one or two in your office or under your
desk or even on top somewhere. Try it and see what
happens. We did it last year and we never got the
flu.

If this helps you and your loved ones from getting
sick, all the better. If you do get the flu, it just
might be a mild case..

Whatever, what have you to
lose? Just a few bucks on onions!!!!!! !!!!!!!!

Now there is a P. S. to
this for I sent it to a friend in Oregon who regularly contributes
material to me on health issues. She replied with this most
interesting experience about onions:


Weldon,thanks for the reminder. I don't know about the farmers
story...but, I do know that I contacted pneumonia and needless to say I
was very ill...I came across an article that said to cut both ends off an
onion put one end on a fork and then place the forked end into an empty
jar....placing the jar next to the sick patient at night. It said the onion
would be black in the morning from the germs...sure enough it happened
just like that...the onion was a mess and I began to feel better.

Another thing I read in the article was that onions and garlic
placed around the room saved many from the black plague years ago. They
have powerful antibacterial, antiseptic prope
