“…… Should I use Doctors and Drugs to Heal Me or Spiritual Methods?

"Dear Kryon, I have heard that you should stay natural and not use the science on the planet for healing. It does not honor God to go to a doctor. After all, don't you say that we can heal with our minds? So why should we ever go to a doctor if we can do it ourselves? Not only that, my doctor isn't enlightened, so he has no idea about my innate or my spiritual body needs. What should I do?"

First, Human Being, why do you wish to put so many things in boxes? You continue to want a yes and no answer for complex situations due to your 3D, linear outlook on almost everything. Learn to think out of the 3D box! Look at the heading of this section [above]. It asks which one should you do. It already assumes you can't do both because they seem dichotomous.

Let's use some spiritual logic: Here is a hypothetical answer, "Don't go to a doctor, for you can heal everything with your mind." So now I will ask: How many of you can do that in this room right now? How many readers can do that with efficiency right now? All of you are old souls, but are you really ready to do that? Do you know how? Do you have really good results with it? Can you rid disease and chemical imbalance with your mind right now?

I'm going to give you a truth, whether you choose to see it or not. You're not ready for that! You are not yet prepared to take on the task of full healing using your spiritual tools. Lemurians could do that, because Pleiadians taught them how! It's one of the promises of God, that there'll come a day when your DNA works that efficiently and you will be able to walk away from drug chemistry and the medical industry forever, for you'll have the creator's energy working at 100 percent, something you saw within the great masters who walked the earth.

This will be possible within the ascended earth that you are looking forward to, dear one. Have you seen the news lately? Look out the window. Is that where you are now? We are telling you that the energy is going in that direction, but you are not there yet.

Let those who feel that they can heal themselves begin the process of learning how. Many will be appreciative of the fact that you have some of the gifts for this now. Let the process begin, but don't think for a moment that you have arrived at a place where every health issue can be healed with your own power. You are students of a grand process that eventually will be yours if you wish to begin the quantum process of talking to your cells. Some will be good at this, and some will just be planting the seeds of it.

Now, I would like to tell you how Spirit works and the potentials of what's going to happen in the next few years. We're going to give the doctors of the planet new inventions and new science. These will be major discoveries about the Human body and of the quantum attributes therein.

Look at what has already happened, for some of this science has already been given to you and you are actually using it. Imagine a science that would allow the heart to be transplanted because the one you have is failing. Of course! It's an operation done many times a month on this planet. That information came from the creator, did you realize that? It didn't drop off the shelf of some dark energy library to be used in evil ways.

So, if you need a new heart, Lightworker, should you go to the doctor or create one with your mind? Until you feel comfortable that you can replace your heart with a new one by yourself, then you might consider using the God-given information that is in the hands of the surgeon. For it will save your life, and create a situation where you stay and continue to send your light to the earth! Do you see what we're saying?

You can also alter that which is medicine [drugs] and begin a process that is spectacular in its design, but not very 3D. I challenge you to begin to use what I would call the homeopathic principle with major drugs. If some of you are taking major drugs in order to alter your chemistry so that you can live better and longer, you might feel you have no choice. "Well, this is keeping me alive," you might say. "I don't yet have the ability to do this with my consciousness, so I take the drugs."

In this new energy, there is something else that you can try if you are in this category. Do the following with safety, intelligence, common sense and logic. Here is the challenge: The principle of homeopathy is that an almost invisible tincture of a substance is ingested and is seen by your innate. Innate "sees" what you are trying to do and then adjusts the body's chemistry in response. Therefore, you might say that you are sending the body a "signal for balance." The actual tincture is not large enough to affect anything chemically - yet it works!

The body [innate] sees what you're trying to do and then cooperates. In a sense, you might say the body is healing itself because you were able to give it instructions through the homeopathic substance of what to do. So, why not do it with a major drug? Start reducing the dosage and start talking to your cells, and see what happens. If you're not successful, then stop the reduction. However, to your own amazement, you may often be successful over time.

You might be able to take the dosage that you're used to and cut it to at least a quarter of what it was. It is the homeopathy principle and it allows you to keep the purpose of the drug, but reduce it to a fraction of a common 3D dosage. You're still taking it internally, but now it's also signaling in addition to working chemically. The signal is sent, the body cooperates, and you reduce the chance of side effects.

You can't put things in boxes of yes or no when it comes to the grand system of Spirit. You can instead use spiritual logic and see the things that God has given you on the planet within the inventions and processes. Have an operation, save your life, and stand and say, "Thank you, God, for this and for my being born where these things are possible." It's a complicated subject, is it not? Each of you is so different! You'll know what to do, dear one. Never stress over that decision, because your innate will tell you what is appropriate for you if you're willing to listen. ….”

Big Tobacco lawyers target food industry

BBC News, 15 October 2012


The lawyers who took on the big US tobacco companies, and won, have now set their sights on the food industry. Newsnight's science editor, Susan Watts, asks one of them why he has chosen this particular fight.

Don Barrett likes his opponents powerful, and rich. He is the lawyer whose decade-long battle to force the tobacco companies to admit they knew cigarettes are addictive and pay the medical costs of victims was depicted in the film The Insider.

He and his colleagues eventually forced a settlement that cost the industry more than $200bn (£124bn). The lawsuits made Mr Barrett a very wealthy man. But he says it is not the potential for another big pay-out that is now making him target "big food".

"I'm 68 years old, frankly I don't need the cash, the law's been good to me," he explains. "This is my job, but here we have an opportunity to really help people. We're not saying the food industry is the same as the tobacco industry that kills 500,000 Americans a year, but we are saying there is an epidemic of obesity that is affecting the overall health of the American people."

Mr Barrett is one of more than a dozen lawyers who has filed cases against some of the US food industry's biggest players.

They are not the first lawsuits to target food manufacturers. For nearly a decade, US lawyers have pursued a variety of approaches to try to persuade fast food chains to produce healthier, more nutritious food, but these are being seen as some of the most aggressive, despite the simplicity of their approach.

Mr Barrett's case against Big Food is that companies are misrepresenting their products, promoting them as "natural" or "healthy", when in fact, he says, they are no such thing.

His mission is to make them stick to the letter of existing laws which, he says, regulators have been too weak to enforce. He says that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which oversees food safety in the US, has merely been writing warning letters, which he thinks will not be enough.

Taking pride of place on the wall of Mr Barrett's office in Lexington, Mississippi is a replica of the flag carried by the Civil War-era 11th Mississippi infantry regiment. Mr Barrett says that like most Southerners he has a soft spot for his ancestors, who "fought so bravely, against overwhelming numbers and resources, defending what they thought was right".

What he himself is fighting for, he says, is people's freedom to make a choice.

"Nobody's trying to tell the American people what they have to eat or what they cannot eat, the American people can make those decisions for themselves. It's all about free choice. To have free choice you have to have accurate information. That means Big Food, the food companies, have to start telling the truth about what's in their product. The law requires it."

He does see similarities with the tobacco lawsuits. "One parallel is that the American people assume that if a product is legal to sell, then these people are telling the truth about this product. If it's legal to sell, it must be ok, otherwise the government would have done something about it. And that's what they thought about cigarettes."

Part of what fires him has been rocketing rates of obesity in young Americans. Though the upward trend is slowing, around two thirds of Americans over the age of 20 are now obese or overweight, according to the US Centers for Disease Control (CDC).

Hidden sugars in processed food, he says, are part of that problem, and mis-labelling is key. He cites one example, yoghurt from the food company, Chobani Inc, which lists "evaporated cane juice" as an ingredient.

"If you're the mother of a diabetic child or the mother of a child that's obese, labels matter. You look for sugar you don't want, and there's none there. What they do have is 'evaporated cane juice'. That sounds sort of vague, and somehow healthy, and natural.

"Evaporated cane juice, if you live in southern Louisiana or in Cuba, you understand what that is, that's sugar... The laws have been there for ever. And they're very clear. You cannot call product by a euphemism."

The company told Newsnight: "Chobani has built our business on being authentic and transparent, and we fully stand behind our products and are always listening to our consumers to make our products better."

Mr Barrett cites another example, foods whose labels suggest they should be kept in the fridge once opened, thus giving the impression that they contain no preservative, and are fresher than they actually are.

If Mr Barrett succeeds in his cases, the industry could face substantial costs.

He claims that if the courts deem mislabelled food products illegal to sell, those products become illegal to hold and have no value. If a product is sold without value, the amount it was sold for is the measure of damages, he says.

His lawsuits are class actions, where the class is defined as every person who purchased one of the misbranded products in the previous four years.

"If it cost a dollar and 25 cents, then the customer is entitled to his dollar and 25 cents back," he explains. "And there's a four-year statute of limitations, so the damages in each of these cases is how much have they sold of this misbranded junk in the last four years."

Barrett claims that some 25% of products are misbranded in the US. So the scale of damages in these cases could easily match the many billions of the tobacco suits.

"It could, and will be, billions of dollars in some cases," he says. "One of the potato chip companies that we're suing sells $13bn (£8bn) worth of product a year."

Previous "fat" cases have centred on false advertising claims, rather than mislabelling, which required the plaintiffs to hire experts to prove that labels were "deceptive" to an ordinary consumer, and such deception caused actual damages.

This has proved an expensive and uncertain process, and such cases have tended to settle for small amounts.

Foods in the firing line 

Don Barret is suing the makers 
of over 20 products, which include:

- Fruit juices
- Crisps
- Soft drinks
- Chocolate
- Tinned tomatoes
- Canned fruits
- Baby food
- Tea
Personal injury claims are even more difficult to prove, according to Mr Barrett.

Linking smoking to a specific disease proved hard enough. It was only once US states brought cases based on reclaiming medical costs, that the tobacco companies moved to settle.

Linking any one food stuff to a later medical condition, such as diabetes, would be significantly harder.

So what is the chance that this current round of cases might succeed?

Mr Barrett says that in the past, lawyers have overlooked the crucial FDA labelling regulations: "The false labels themselves are the only proof we need, and proving the damages is simple: it is the sales of the unlawful product within the time period of the statute of limitations - four years."

And as cases move into the discovery stage, they could evolve, just as happened in the tobacco suits when "smoking-gun" documents began to appear, perhaps even showing that the food companies knew more about the impact that their products and advertising on people's health than the general public.

And then there is emerging science linking food and addiction, which suggests that over eating highly-palatable foods that contain sugar, fat and salt could actually change our brains - so that we need more and more of such foods to feel satisfied.

If this science strengthens, then the parallels with the tobacco cases could strengthen too.

For the time being though, Mr Barrett says his approach is enough to change industry practices: "There's one thing that corporate America pays attention to, and that's getting hit in the pocketbook. It's all about profit. And it's only when you affect their profit that you will affect their behaviour, and we intend to do that."
