Protest, Outrage, Injustice, Lies and Ignorance

       After weeks of protest, demonstrations, ignorance and injustices, the American public has began to see a pattern in media misinformation, political reinterpretations of obvious events and public disgust. The reality is that this year any sector of Americana could apply to the above scenario. Whether Obama-care, employment, the economy, racial tensions, net neutrality or the findings of the Senate torture report; we are in serious peril as we move into 2015. 
        While the average person would like to trust the media presentations of current events and never ending White House spinning of factual matter to satisfy the Obama agendas, I and other thinkers would suggest a deeper look into why little actual progress or amicable resolve takes place to make living easier. The biggest danger this nation faces is political correctness and a willingness to continually lie to the public. The next biggest danger is a willingness of the public to take as face value the misinformation and  political spins that lead to doubt, complacency and inaction. In the next years there will be an increasing moral decline, loss of freedoms, privacy and economic potential that will affect most adversely while corporate and political allies reap huge benefits. Despite this, the average person while reside in what is told to believe, socially trending then align their ill developed opinions of unreal facts into consensus. 
        Be careful Americans your democracy has become less democratic do to your own complicity!

FASTING FOR LIFE

Fasting
            Years ago I learned about the benefits of changing my diet, nutrient / mineral intake and increasing anti-oxidants to affect my moods, overall health and stamina. It takes personal discipline to fast. The longer the fasting period, the more commitment is required. Initially I adapted these methods from various entities to create a non-religious fast centered in balancing the mind. I have felt a strong and usable sense of comfort, self-control and better health after each fast. The purpose of this paper is to reintroduce a fast that has the value exceeding the original.
            By taking from the traditions of Asian cuisine, Muslim fasting during Ramadan, work as a group therapist, and ancient food science, I developed two fasting methods that proved to benefit my personal focus, feeling of self, and stamina in a way that helped to transform my life over time.
During Ramadan you typically limit your fluids and eat one meal a day after dusk. While work as a residential counselor, I learned in detail how foods and dietary supplements affect the mind. We limited sugars, caffeine sources, and certain types of foods that contained these items. I will save you the agony of my personal process of discovery and just give you the prescription for the initial fast. Let me know how it affects you.
