Profound Answers May Lie Beyond Human Awareness

Los Angeles, CA, November 21, 2018 — In his deeply insightful writings, Dr. Pieter Noomen shares what he discovered through transcendent experiences during which he fully connected with the source of all existence — something he asserts can be achieved by every human being who is willing to open his or her mind to the information from the universe.

Over the course of many years, Noomen was granted transformative "visits” into another human dimension — on the spirit level — and he freely shares the universal and eternal facts of life that were communicated to him on his website, www.wordsforall.org.

As he explains on his website, "I can only say that the information came from a presence on my innermost spiritual level I was in communication with for some time. The words seem the result of my spirit merging with the spirit of life It/Her/Himself.”

Visitors to Noomen's website can read about the 12 components of life through his 12 booklets: Oneness, Love, Life, Fire, Space, Connectedness, Progression, Effect, Freedom, Joy, Differentness and Harmony. Throughout his writings, Noomen avoids using the name of any deity, such as God, and instead uses what he refers to as The Seven Names, each of which relates on a human level to the situation at hand: One Holy, Love, Truth, Proper, Healing, Manifestation and Energy.

A series of lessons on the site shares 147 thought-provoking questions and the illuminating answers that came to him during his extensive communications with the All Spirit.

Ultimately, Noomen posits that directly or indirectly, life stems from one common source and that to connect with that source is the highest level of existence we can achieve on earth.

"In death,” Noomen writes, "everyone will, without exception and in a purely personal way, find out whether or not there is another dimension of existence.” The reflections shared on Noomen's website invite readers to not wait until the end of their earthly lives for the answer.

Born in the Netherlands, Pieter Noomen completed doctoral studies in theology and pastoral psychology at the Free University of Amsterdam and was senior minister of three protestant churches. Later he worked as a psychotherapist and as a staff member of a Los Angeles metropolitan church. He was involved in mental health issues like suicide prevention and hospice. His personal spiritual path widened substantially — unexpectedly and quite sensationally —25 years ago when he was drawn to the insights of Dr. Peter D. Francuch (1934-2001), who wrote about his communications with what he called the Positive State. This led to Noomen's interest in experiencing a direct, personal connection with the One Who is Life. Noomen is retired and resides in Hollywood, California.

Learn How To Stop The Interaction Of Elements That Produce Cancer

Hampton, VA, November 20, 2018 — No one wants to hear from their doctor that they have cancer, and only six months to live. But these are the words that Dr. Carl O. Helvie heard 44 years ago. While his doctor encouraged him to begin traditional treatment right away, Helvie knew there had to be another way to treat his cancer without the negative side effects of radiation and chemotherapy, or the invasiveness of surgery. After a lot of praying and a good amount of soul-searching, he opted to look for an alternative way to beat his cancer.

Today, Dr. Helvie is the longest-living lung cancer survivor in the world and he credits this with his decision to take a holistic approach in his treatment. His treatment proved so successful, Dr. Helvie used it to develop a simple plan that he shares in his new book, Reducing Your Cancer Risk: A Holistic Approach (Booklocker Inc.). It's not complicated—it's not rocket science—but it is based on years of proven research. The book explores the environment that brings cancer and the human body together, and offers steps to take before these three elements interact to cause the disease.

Listed in '50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading in 2014,' Helvie recommends anyone receiving a cancer diagnosis to take the time to really think about what they want to do for their treatment plan. Adding, "People shouldn't jump into chemotherapy or surgery if they don't have all of the information and have a chance to think about it.”

In 2014, Dr. Helvie founded the Carl O. Helvie Holistic Cancer Foundation—a foundation different from other cancer foundations in that they focus on the holistic approach and multiple aspects of education, research and patient care for many types of cancer.  For each area of content in the book there is a review of current research studies, and steps we can take to avoid carcinogens and strengthen the body. Also included are interviews with over 40 national leaders, discussing vastly different areas ranging from GMOs and EMTs to gratitude and forgiveness. There is also a how-to section that covers everything from meditation, gratitude and faith, to minor changes in diet, drinking water and reducing stress.

A prolific author, Helvie has written 10 books, more than 55 articles, and has presented 57 research papers throughout the US and Europe. In retirement, he focuses his research on natural interventions for health issues, which led him to develop a nursing theory that has helped him establish a nursing center and improve primary care for homeless and low-income families. Since retiring, he has written two more books and served as the host of a holistic health radio show. In 1999, he was presented the Distinguished Career Award in Public Health from the American Public Health Association. He has been interviewed on more than 150 radio and television shows about his two most recent books.

Excerpts from reviews on Reducing Your Cancer Risk:

Laura Fabiani, Library of Clean Reads: "Reducing Your Cancer Risk is an excellent and practical resource book chock-full of information that can motivate one to make lifestyle changes that can prevent cancer…The book is divided into three parts. The first discusses Environmental Factors and includes ways to avoid or prevent exposure to risk factors… The second discusses Individual Factors and includes lifestyle choices to increase one's resistance to cancer and build a better immunity… The third discusses Mental and Spiritual Aspects and includes compassion, meditation, forgiveness, prayer and stress management… Although written by an educated man with extensive knowledge, Mr. Helvie keeps the information easy to read and follow by using the format of bullet point suggestions that can be implemented immediately.

If you are looking to lead a healthier lifestyle and want to have a practical manual on what to do to prevent cancer, this is the ideal book for you…The contents page, index and numerous links and references to over 40 other professionals make this book a handy resource that has gained a coveted place on my desk.”

NewAgeJournal.com: "Reducing Your Cancer Risk is an essential reference guide for those who want to prevent cancer or are currently struggling with a cancer diagnosis. Western medicine pushes the traditional radiation, chemotherapy and surgery to 'cure' cancer. In reality, these treatments cause cancer to proliferate and kill off healthy cells… In each section, the author describes specific things a person can do to prevent cancer and then provides action steps to assist in implementing these suggestions… This book is very well written and easy to read. In fact, I could not put it down… As a retired hospice and holistic wellness nurse, I really appreciate his all-encompassing approach.”

Rev Dr. Anne Marie Evers, Best-Selling Author; Ordained Minister; Doctor of Divinity; CEO of Affirmations International Publishing Company; Radio Host: "I found the book so interesting … I could not put it down until I had read it from cover to cover. So much of the information we may know or probably have heard about, however the way the author sets it out makes it new, tantalizing and exciting. I was thinking as I read through it, everyone can benefit from reading and using this information… The book covers all aspects of health, diet, exercise, meditation, prayer and much more coupled with a huge dose of 'Common Sense.' …Put it in a way that is interesting to read and understand.”

The Toxic Parents Survival Guide: Recognizing, Understanding, And Freeing Yourself from These Difficult Relationships

Bryn Collins, MA, LP - Author of Emotional Unavailability

For the people who have endured nightmares or wastelands when it comes to their parental relationships, this book will explore tools allowing you to break the chains that hold you stuck in the mess you didn't create but have had to live with.

Eagan, MN, November 19, 2018 — It's your first relationship, and in many ways the most important one. The relationship we have with our parents should be a nurturing and loving bond, yet for many people it is a source of frustration, puzzlement, confusion, anger, attraction, and rejection interspersed with joy. They last with us our entire lives, even after they no longer live. The Toxic Parents Survival Guide: Recognizing, Understanding, and Freeing Yourself from These Difficult Relationships (HCI-ISBN-9780757321047 - $15.95) is for those who need some different ways to deal with our parent's dysfunctions so that they don't suffer and don't pass along emotional unavailability to the next generation.

Psychologist Bryn Collins explores complicated relationships with emotionally unavailable parents. Whether they were unavailable because of addiction, mental illness, being overly controlling or an iceberg, this imminently practical book willhelp validate your frustration and emotional struggles, help you set clear boundaries, and teach you how to un-mesh yourself and move forward to a place of strength and peace without guilt. The Toxic Parents Survival Guide uses case studies, quizzes, and jargon-free concepts, and Collins profiles the most common types of toxic parents and offers the tactics and tools needed to change and break free of these painful associations.

People who are emotionally unavailable are unwilling or unable to invest emotions in a relationship. This takes many forms. At its core, emotional unavailability is the inability of one person to connect with another in an emotional, appropriate way. Instead, the relationship is unstable, unmanageable, mysterious, and often unfulfilling. Like any skill, emotions have a language.

The Toxic Parents Survival Guide helps those in need to discover:

• How Emotional Location can enable you to stay in the Positive Solver space and bring your toxic parent there to actually solve problems.

• Specific actions to change the family dynamic.

• True stories from others that will validate your struggle and help you find peace.

• How to set clear boundaries and keep them in the face of challenges.

• The keys to a balanced relationship with toxic parents.

• How to distance or remove yourself from a relationship if necessary.

About the Author:

Bryn Collins, MA, LP, is a psychologist and author of Emotional Unavailability. In addition to her writing, she has a busy counseling practice in Eagan, Minnesota, where she sees adolescent and adult clients who are dealing with relationship issues. She is also an entertaining speaker on the issue of relationships. Bryn has been married to Rod Collins for almost thirty years.

Author Interview:

1. Why should a quirky parent be a problem for an adult child? You don't live with them and can just ignore the quirks. Quirks can be ignored until they get in the way of the relationship in one way or another. These parents are also the grandparents of your children and the parents of your siblings. Unless you are completely estranged from them, you will have ongoing interactions which will be tainted by the exaggerated quirks.

2. In the book you say some people don't recognize their own or other's emotions. Why is this important? Emotions are an essential part of relationships. People who are disconnected from their own or other's emotions are likely to have difficult or unconnected relationships that can be harmful or even destructive.

3. What is Emotional Location? Emotional Location is a way of looking at interpersonal relationships. Unfortunately, four of the five locations are dysfunctional. The objective of emotional location is to help everyone meet in the Solver location where problems are identified and solutions are sought.

4. At what point does a relationship with a parent become toxic? If a person's relationship with a parent causes physical or emotional harm, it is toxic. Parents who use drugs or alcohol, who are physically or sexually abusive, who are verbally demeaning or ignore even the most basic boundaries are toxic.

5. Should you always terminate a relationship with a toxic parent? Terminating or at least limiting a relationship with a toxic parent is certainly an option but not always realistic. Try to make contact as limited as possible and terminate if you can.

YOUR NO EXCUSE GUIDE TO STAYING FIT WHILE FLYING AND TONED WHEN TRAVELING THIS HOLIDAY SEASON

www.vshred.com

Many fitness enthusiasts find it difficult to follow their normal exercise plan while traveling to see family or friends for the winter holidays.  Unfamiliar environments, tightly-packed family living conditions, or lack of exercise equipment may hamper even a fitness fanatic’s best intentions for staying fit while traveling this holiday season. Alex Vitale is a V Shred Lead Trainer, Certified Personal Trainer through the National Council of Strength and Fitness and a graduate of the Equinox Fitness Training Institute. When planning your December holiday trip, he offers the following tips for putting together an exercise program that travels with you.

“If you've worked hard to establish a good fitness routine, traveling for the holidays doesn't have to mean your healthy habits will be derailed, says Alex. He adds, “You can keep your momentum and endorphins flowing and maintain your fitness level when traveling.”

HOW CAN THIS BE DONE?

Stay Hydrated. “Drink a minimum of eight 8-ounce glasses of water each day. Airport food, sitting on a plane, jet lag - all contribute to bloat. The best way to fight it is to stay hydrated,” says Alex Vital of V Shred.

Lift from your knees, not your back. Be aware of your posture as you carry your bags.  Use good body mechanics when you lift your suitcases up to the check-in counter.

Eat three meals a day- Even though you've left behind your daily routine, try to eat three meals a day, maintain a balanced diet and eat plenty of fruit and vegetables. If you're going to eat a high-fat meal, eat a smaller portion, or order an appetizer instead of a main course. Split desserts with a friend.

Rest. If your schedule is shot and you're not sleeping enough at night, take cat naps whenever you get the chance.  Stretch in the morning and evening, especially if you've been sitting all day. If you will be drinking alcohol, drink a lot of water between events.

Pack snacks: bananas and apples, yogurt, protein bars. You can make meal replacement shakes in your hotel room. You don't need a blender, just a container with a tight-fitting lid, large enough to shake the contents.

Find out if your gym reciprocates its membership with a gym where you'll be traveling, log onto the International Physical Fitness Association's Web site, http://www.ipfa.us/, or ask at your home health club before you leave town. Alex Vital says that “Three to five days off from a strength routine can give your muscles a rest. But you wouldn't want to go a week or more without serious exercise and a short respite for your biceps doesn't mean you should ever let your cardio workout go.”

body type and fitness goals while giving them some amazing tips they can use
that day in a video and then offers them a program that's perfect for them if
they don't want to do it themselves.

Take the V Shred Quiz Here.

Pack a jump rope for a go-anywhere aerobic session. Invest in "travel weights" -inflatable weights that can be filled with water or sand when training, folded and stored while on the road.

Plan active recreation during vacations -check out the local golf course, riding stable, and so on.

When sightseeing, forget the tour bus and walk. You'll not only see more, but you'll be sneaking in some extra activity.

Bring portable fitness.

For more fitness options, place in your luggage a Resist-A-Tube or any of the home exercise tubing, a stability ball, jump rope or exercise video. ''If you like classes, make your own class in your room,'' offers Alex Vital

If you work with a personal trainer, ask him or her to design an exercise plan before you leave town. When you're sitting on a plane or in a hotel room, take deep breaths occasionally, tighten your stomach muscles, then relax. Travelers need to periodically flex and stretch the hamstrings and hip flexors, the muscle at the upper part of the leg that connects into the pelvis.

For women who spend the day in high heels, a walk around the room toe-up, heel-down will stretch the calf muscles. Or, do toe raises by putting the heels on the floor and stepping up onto a telephone book. “Men often complain of being cramped when traveling,” states Vital. “They need to stretch their lower back and legs.” He recommends the cat stretch. Get up on your hands and knees, arch your back for 15 seconds, then release. Repeat.

Alex Vital points out that the more comfortable you are with operating fitness machinery at your home gym, the easier it will be to set up unfamiliar equipment when you're on the road.

FIT FLYING

Air travel may be fast and convenient, but for many of us, it can be uncomfortable and restrictive due to cramped cabins and sardine-like seating. The following tips can help you make the most of your next airplane trip by helping you stay flexible and fit while you fly.

-           DEEP BREATHING is an instant-relaxer and can be done anywhere at any time. Try taking 4-5 deep, cleansing breaths several times during your flight.

-           RELAX YOUR SHOULDERS by bending forward slightly, hands on knees and "rolling" your shoulders in a circular motion 5 or 6 times. Repeat the "roll" in the opposite direction, then finish up by "shrugging" your shoulders up and down 5 times.

-           RELAX YOUR BACK by reaching overhead, holding elbows, and bending side to side. Repeat 5 times in each direction.

-           STRETCH YOUR LEGS by alternately lifting your knees toward your chest and bringing your body toward your knee to the count of eight.

-           RELEASE YOUR FEET by "drawing" the alphabet with one foot then the other.
