FROM THE HEART: A
note from Jay & Roshmi
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello ,
Well, this has been a challenging time! We had
a major problem with our computer, which we finally got rectified.
But we lost a lot of mail from our subscribers, so if you wrote
and did not get an answer, we do apologize and ask that you
please write again.
Another challenge was the recent introduction of a raw meat
and vegetables diet to Eddie & Fipsi. They are a pair of almost
human Jack Russell terriers that belong to my son and his girlfriend.
They turned up their aristocratic noses at the primitive fare
in the beginning, and ate almost nothing for about three days!
Finally, in desperation, we suggested that they
be gently weaned into the new diet by slightly cooking the meat
at first. It work- ed like a charm! They are now happily eating
their raw food. And they seem to thrive on it, with streamlined
bodies and even more energy than before.
We are adding information on new natural health
products that we believe will benefit you. The tooth soap is
excellent,and highly effective, as Roshmi will attest! Read
her article, in this issue, relating her experience. Visit our
site map and check out the products that interest you. http://www.youngagainforever.com/Sitemap.html
Speaking of the importance of maintaining healthy
teeth and gums, here is an interesting paraphrase of an article
I recently read:
"It has been reported that there is evidence that suggests that
tooth decay and serious heart disease are linked because gum
infection can affect the main arteries in the neck - the carotid
arteries."
Well, we hope you enjoy this issue of your newsletter!
To your health,
Roshmi & Jay

FEATURE ARTICLE:
TOOTH SOAP - WHAT ON EARTH IS THAT?
by : Roshmi Raychaudhuri
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes, that's exactly how I reacted, when Jay suggested that I
switch to tooth soap.
I have always had straight, even teeth, although
less white than the set I would have ordered had the decision
been left to me. But, on the whole, I felt rather good about
the fact that I had no cavities and had never had to face the
Waterloo of the brave- the dentist's drill. In fact, till quite
recently, I'd thought the root canal was a procedure used in
gardening!
Then came my tryst with destiny, and time! They
caught up with my gums! One morning, as I brushed and rinsed
out my mouth, the discarded water ran blood red. On inspection,
I found that my gums, which looked red, sore and puffy, had
started to recede, baring the roots of my incisors and exposing
the enamel to bacterial ravage. My mouth felt stale, no matter
how often I brushed using extra-strength fluoride tooth paste.
So sensitive had my teeth become, that ice cream for desert
became a form of refined torture, instead of the treat it had
always been. The last factor, (if not the others) became a call
to immediate action that could not be ignored.
Hunting for material in order to 'bone' up on
teeth facts, we uncovered information that was horrifying!
Did you know that glycerin, which is a prime ingredient
in tooth paste, and other oral care products, coats the teeth
and prevents them from drawing nutrients from your diet, needed
for re-enamelization? Guess what happens to teeth which can't
re-enamelize ....they get cavities! Glycerin, which is sticky
and difficult to wash off, is excellent as a protective balm
on your skin. But it should have no place in oral care. You
may as well coat your teeth with gum!
Did you also know that fluoride, another popular
ingredient found in tooth paste, is a biological poison? Being
intensely negative, it unlatches positive hydrogen bonds in
enzymes and proteins. 1 PPM Fluoride in water has been known
to result in as many as 114 medical side effects, ranging from
cancer to headaches! As far as oral care goes, fluoride treatments
sever gums from the teeth, forming pockets in the gums - cozy
hideouts for bacteria.
Finally, did you know that tooth pastes contain
silica (sand)? That the abrasion caused by this ingredient can
scratch both your gums and your tooth enamel?
Imagine my horror at learning that every move
I had made for dental hygiene, may have delivered, in actuality,
a teeth-shattering blow! I looked back on all those years of
over-zealous brushing with tooth paste. Tooth pastes could actually
CAUSE tooth decay - no wonder the TLC expended on my mouth had
not worked!
Then Jay discovered tooth soap during his research
!
The professor of chemistry who developed it, attributes
its remarkable cleansing action to the natural saponified coconut,
palm, olive, and essential oils contained in the formulation.
It contains no ingredient that can cause damage. No glycerin,
sweeteners, silicates, fluoride, dyes or stabilizers. It's 100%
vegan. It rinses off oils and doesn't block absorption of calcium
and phosphate from foods. In addition, it is very economical
to use.
However, habitual tooth paste users like me may
take a few days to adjust. It took me three days. The texture
is different - it comes in strands, two of which you pile onto
a moistened tooth brush and work into a lather on your molars.
The flavor is different, and initially I missed the 'minty-fresh
feeling' that the toothpaste ads had mentally conditioned me
to expect. Mastering the lathering was the part that took the
longest.
I have been using Tooth Soap now for 5 months.
My gums have lost their red, puffy look, and have been steadily
creeping back over the exposed incisor roots. My teeth feel
squeaky clean; with no traces of a coating over them, even after
a meal. My breath feels as fresh when I awake as it does immediately
after brushing. And, best of all, I feel not even a twinge of
sensitivity when my teeth come into contact with cold, cold,
ice cream! Not only have I been totally converted to Tooth Soap,
I've become a zealot.

However, with the Internet, the newest media channel, we the
public also have some say.
The viral effect of any powerful message, and the speed with
which it can rebound around the world has evidenced itself time
and again. Known as 'Contagious edia',
this phenomenon is likely to become the most powerful means
of future communication.
Any ideas on how you would like to use it to better your life?
And those of others?

The 2nd Pillar: Cognitive Stimulation
'Interval Training' (defined explicitly elsewhere in this newsletter)
is a necessary process for the brain as well as the body.
Rest is an essential adjunct of activity. So, make sure that
you catch a 10/20 minute power nap in the afternoon, in
addition to your regular 7/8 hours of sleep every night

PRODUCT REVIEW: Jevene
Anti-Wrinkle Cream
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jevene does much more than just sit on the surface
of the skin. It penetrates and nourishes the deepest skin layers
with hydration factors that are assimilated and retained within
cellular membranes and tissues.
These super-hydrating effects come from easily
absorbed phospholipids, essential fatty acids and antioxidants
that help restructure and maintain cells' hydro-lipidic membranes
and the skin's natural moisture barrier.
In addition to the herbal antioxidants, the formulation's
line-up of pure, organic essential oils offer renewal support
to nutrient-deprived skin. Together, these components help to
repair damaged cells and restore healthy cell production.
Jevene provides a firming effect, helping to create
a youthful lift to facial tissues, visibly reducing the appearance
of fine lines and wrinkles.
A proprietary blend, developed by a Harvard trained
bio-chemist, Jevene is priced for retail sales at $89 for 50
mg, a month's supply. Enrolment into a monthly purchase club,
however, will get you a a huge 40% discount. You can get a f.ree
sample to try out.There's absolutely no cost to you, (other
than a small shipping & handling charge), nor any commitment
since you can cancel any time you wish.
Try it out for f.ree to find out for yourself
what it can do for the wrinkles and age spots on your face.
(Unfortunately, this offer is open only to U.S. residents.)

The
3rd Pillar: Exercise
INTERVAL TRAINING What exercise do the fittest people in the
world
choose? Top athletes and gymnasts (who can reasonably be classified
amongst the fittest people in the world) engage in 'Interval
Training'.
And what is 'IT'? 'IT' is defined as "short to moderate periods
of exertion
punctuated with periods of rest or reduced effort".
The work:rest options are limitless!
Recent studies conducted at Harvard and Columbia universities
found that 60 second bursts of serious effort followed by rest
&
recovery periods, had a significant impact in just 8 weeks!
Cardio-vascular fitness, heart rate variability and mood improved.
The subjects also showed stronger immune systems and lower
diastolic blood pressure. Coincidentally, the set of exercises
that
comprise the Tibetan Yoga Rejuvenation Technique follow
the very same principles as 'IT' - short periods of exertion
followed by rest. The 4000 year old ancient way is absolutely
in sync with the newest 21st century fitness principles!

GUEST COLUMN: by Catherine
Franz
WRITING THE AUTOBIOGRAPHIC VOICE
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Today, is as good as any to give you a real B-I-G
challenge. I know you can do it, but you will need to put some
energy and your mind into this one. And, of course, your pen.
Let's go ahead and dive in...
This is a journaling exercise to learn to write
in an "autobiographic voice." Okay, you want to know what is
an autobiographic voice. Fair question. Let's begin by defining
voice. Our voice is the way you choose to express yourself either
verbal or written. A voice comprises of tone, attitude, choice
of words, and the person's point of view.
There are various types of voices. Each voice
comprises of numerous elements and each as unique as DNA. You
can use an encouraging voice to build your creative self. Or
a judgmental voice to assess an issue. Or, use a voice of history,
like Alex Haley, to speak to future generations, or Martin Luther
King's, "I have a dream" speech. Voices in writing come from
your feelings at the time recorded. Voice expresses your message
and in turn determines your audience, even if the audience is
only you.
Expressing our autobiographic voice in writing
is different than other voices because you are writing in the
"every- moving present." Autobiographic writing is in retrospect.
It is a voice of recollection in which you look back at your
memories and use them to tell the story of your life. You are
the main character with goals and desires. Your autobiography
is the story of those desires, of what you wanted, how you struggled
and what you learned in the process.
Let's take this process one step at a time...
Step 1: First you need to access a memory. Just
for fun, return to your earliest memory as a child. For me,
it was when I was four years old. Place yourself in a particular
place and date. Can you remember the date? Was there music playing
somewhere? What about smells? Was Mama cooking? Were there any
body memories? I remember having a scraped knee, I could see
and feel the band-aid, but I don't remember the fall.
During this step, my first preference is to write
one or two word details. You could complete this in a list format
or continuous with comma separations. As you begin to return
to that particular point, and as the smallest, largest details
pop up, and the details continue, the list will grow and the
memory will grow stronger.
Memories aren't hard to remember, they just get
placed in storage box. It's like going up into grandma's attic,
finding the right box, and then opening it. As you pull from
the top, the next appear but not until the top one goes. You
will want to continue going through the box until its empty.
If the childhood memory is too vague, use one that is stronger,
or maybe there is a picture somewhere in the scrap album you
can revisit. You can use your wedding day, or a birth, graduation,
or some other particular period or date.
Step 2: Continue adding more and more items that
are uncovered in the box as you begin to pull things out. Even
if all you can pull out are fragments. Even if need to add blanks
for missing names or other gaps. Use all your senses to make
the memory come alive, both in your mind, and on paper. You
can even interview a parent about your memory and include their
feedback in a small dialogue illustration.
Keep the writing in the present tense. Nevertheless,
don't panic if you accidentally write in the past tense. Sometimes
that is the only way I can get the thought on paper. If that
occurs, don't stop after writing in the past tense. Rewrite
the sentence or paragraph in the present tense. This is a good
way to practice anyway. Remember, present tense means: as if
you are actually right there at that time.
As you progress through the memory, you will discover
that your early perceptions and your mature perspective will
overlap. This occurs because the memory is about the past as
seen from the present with all the insight and perspective that
time inflicts.
You can also choose to address a conflict memory
for this exercise. Conflict memories many times form major themes
in journals, especially relationships that need tending, issues
you need to confront or change in your inner self, for instance
spirituality. These are all loose ends that need tidying up.
And journaling through it is a great way to heal and forgive.
Step 3: Use real experiences with real people.
Don't play make believe with the people or places. If there
are blanks at the time you write, leave space. Continue building
as the memory expands. Tidbits will appear from the darnedest
places and triggers.
Also know, that it is easy to take a particular
memory and transfer it into a structured framework, like an
article. Keep expanding the memory in additional journal entries.
Add dialogue or humor. As children, we see things as mysteries.
Was there missing information that looked like a mystery before?
Can you ask someone what their memory is? Ask after you finished
flushing your memory so it doesn't influence yours.
At some point, usually when you are tired of deepening,
or the memory feels closed, you will want to stop and reflect
how this changed your life or other people's lives involved.
Are there any special connections between then and now?
Okay, I did give you a warning; this isn't an
objective for the weak. Autobiographic voice writing is an exercise
that can bring exceptional value to your current life. It isn't
a dump and go journaling exercise. Over the years, the results
of this exercise have oozed into speeches and presentations,
shared stories to my children and siblings, and found their
way into many conversations, books, and articles. You, too,
will find yourself having the same experience.

***** 4 PILLARS OF AGE
REVERSAL *****
The
4th Pillar: Less Stress
As many as 42% of North Americans live with a
ticking bomb inside
them, without being aware of it. And, most of them are under
the
age of 65! Stress is a major contributor to Hypertension
(or, high blood pressure), the "Silent Killer" which can
strike any time without warning. All the more reason for each
of us to work actively on lowering the stress factor in our
lives.
BP is determined by two numbers.
The first one is the systolic pressure; the second & lower number
measures diastolic pressure. Systolic pressure measures the
force that blood exerts on artery walls when the heart contracts
in the process of pumping out blood, while the diastolic is
the
pressure exerted on the arterial walls when the heart is at
rest to
allow the blood to flow back into the heart. Normal BP is 120
over 80;
anything higher than 140 over 90 is considered high
