           Why I wrote a FREE Natural, Holistic Health and Healing Handbook

            There’s no shortage of books, videos, etc. – extolling devices, various pills, potions or lotions to shortcut the process of staying or becoming healthy.
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;

           The fact is: staying or becoming healthy is simple, but it’s not easy.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           What if there was a simple, easy to read and understand handbook to help you focus on the basics?

           Why did I write Life Is Linear, Living is Cyclical?
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/h2&gt;&#xD;

           I’ve experienced living during a remarkable time in human history. Humans have discovered and harnessed technology and science. A switch turns on light, food preservatives feed us year-round, sanitation and medicine protect us, motors lift, engines transport us to and from places fast and effortlessly.  
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
            Countless millions of people, mostly strangers, share their ideas and opinions at the touch of a button that you choose from a multitude of options and opinions - for better or worse.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           One of the benefits of growing older is I’ve learned what to do - because I’ve experienced what not to do. 
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           My purpose in writing Life is Linear, Living is Cyclical was to share those experiences and my earned knowledge to help people avoid the potholes that will inevitably occur during the experiences of living life in the 21

           What is truth
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           ?” is the question humans have struggled with since the beginning of time.  Is it something you can see and touch, or is it a product of discourse and discussion?  
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Both can be true or false at the same time! For example: “Can humans fly?” The answer is a conditional yes. Thanks to the Wright brothers, and their innate human curiosity and ingenuity, we can effortlessly fly countless miles any time we choose on an airplane. Without technology – the answer is no.
          &#xD;

           I have on occasion been incorrectly called a Luddite

           . (a term often used to describe someone who is opposed or resists new ideas and technologies.) 
            &#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;

  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
           I will confess to being a realist.

    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           there is no version 2 of the human body
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           . We function today with the same urge to survive and instincts to help us flourish and reproduce as our ancestors. Humans still have the basic need for shelter, nutrition and companionship, form families and groups for order and the protection of laws - just like our ancestors did.  
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Time still happens from sunrise to sunrise, season to season, event to event with three parts: past, present and future. You can’t change the past, the future may not unfold as you expected, you’ll wake up for a new day until you don’t.  
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

           All choices are binary
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           . Every action or dilemma has two possible outcomes; it turns out as expected, or it doesn’t - and you will experience the consequences of your choice – in either case.
          &#xD;

            . “All that glitters isn’t gold.” means it’s important that you look before you leap. Perhaps it seems to be a selfish trait, but it’s not! Ask two simple questions: “1)
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;

           Would I ask someone else to do what’s being asked of me?

    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           ” These two questions will set parameters for expectation and provide a stopping point when your physical or social terms aren’t being met, need constant revision or worse morph into doing something you wouldn’t ask someone else to do. If so, then stop digging and try something different.

           In ancient times, Greek philosophers like Socrates sought objective truth and how to live a good life while competing Sophist philosophers focused on rhetoric and winning arguments, often prioritizing persuasion over observable facts. Their focus was on the art of persuasion by using language. Sound familiar?

           Choices have consequences that's how life gets in the way of living.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           During a session, one of my clients shared this nugget
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           : “I thought I’d live forever - I just didn’t think forever would come this soon!”
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Then, the client spoke about all the “priorities” that seem to control his life and all the decisions it takes to accommodate them.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            ﻿
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           It made me think, too, about all the things that life demands – and how life gets in the way of living – so I charted it out.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;

    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           While I’d rather be helping people stay as healthy as possible, people who make an appointment with me are usually seeking a means to address diminished health issues.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
           Often
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           , it’s a moderate inconvenience like: Indigestion, Sore or cranky joints, Hormone imbalances, Stress, Yeast and the like.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
           Other times,
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           it’s something more serious that’s affecting the client’s quality of life.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
           Then,
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           there’s the client with a critical health issue that has stolen their health and their quality of life - seeking the “magic bullet”.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

           They are always surprised that “it” happened to them, frustrated with how their life has changed and the expected and unexpected side effects of their medical treatments.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;

            20+ year old adults think they’re bullet proof, 30+ experience moderate issues, 40+ have moderate to serious conditions, 50+ suffer serious to critical conditions and finally, there are people who, luckily, dodge the bullet and want to keep it that way.

           : frustration with their complaints and/or disillusionment with their treatment(s), feeling of abandonment, and/or grief for the loss of their quality of life.

           The congregants are asking for some things they already have, or should have - a conscience (a sense of right and wrong), common sense (an intuitive danger warning signal) and free will, making choices that only offer a binary outcome - turning out either expectedly or suffering through unintended consequences of your choice.

          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;

           1.       Nutrition (air, water and whole food)
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           2.       Shelter (protection from the elements)
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;

           The current life expectancy is 78 years. Life has a defined beginning – when you are born and an indefinite end.

           1.       The past won’t change.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           2.       The future is a collection of possibilities (many of which seldom manifest).
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;

           The present is when you can write your life story – one choice at a time.

             Humans are diurnal - which means we are programed to be active during the daytime hours – rest, repair, replace cells and tissue and detox during nighttime.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;

  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
            Humans have two distinct metabolisms. When the sun’s up, catabolic metabolism fuels and supports all our daytime activities. When the sun goes down, the body switches to anabolic metabolism - cleaning up the waste it produced during the day, repairing or replacing damaged cells and tissue, building new cells and tissue that have worn out. 
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           And your metabolism follows the seasons, too – winter, spring, summer and fall – year after year, sunup, sundown, day after day – until it doesn’t.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;

           I am constantly quoting Charles Swindoll ‘s statement “Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it." . . . because it is true – your choices have consequences – for better or worse.

           What if there are books that can help you answer my opening question:
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           “Are your physical, dietary, and mental choices supporting or detracting from your wellbeing?”
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

            The body is composed of many different types of cells that together create tissues and subsequently organs and then organ systems.  It has 5 senses:  sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch.  The body is: self-replicating, self-repairing, self-energizing and self-protecting.  And it is: adaptable, resilient and forgiving.  But the body is not indestructible.

            is the innermost part of a person. Simply said, it is your conscience.  The Spirit is the central point of a person’s emotions, thoughts, will, and morality.  Acting like a 6th sense, it warns and attempts to guide you when faced with a choice.  Many Religions believe it to be the place where God interacts with humans, guiding them towards righteousness and spiritual growth – if someone is listening.

           Aside from air to breathe, humans require food and water for sustenance, a mate for companionship, reproduction and child-rearing, fellowship for safety and efficiency, communities with shared experiences and a tribe to maintain order, arbitrate and settle disputes. Simply put: our ancestors successfully managed their diet, physical, mental and emotional components of their lives to survive and flourish.

           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           After I surprisingly survived Legionnaire’s Disease (the life-threating health crisis of its day), the side-effects of the medications and the aftereffects of the medical treatments, my brain, ravaged by fever - didn’t work. I was on oxygen 24/7 and my body had been consumed by the infection. When I asked the Internist and Pulmonologist about the long-term effects, each told me point blank, - “I don’t know.”
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;

  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Each specialist warned me that the damage to my body and lungs could be irreversible, and I would never be
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

           Back to Optimal Health Using Holistic Methods and Natural Remedies
          &#xD;

    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Thankfully, I had been trained by wise herbalists and natural healers who taught me 4 lessons:

  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;

    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           1. The human body is magnificently created,
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           2. The body can regain health if given the right tools,
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           3. The power of appropriate natural and alternative medicine in restoring health and energy,
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           4. The healing power of nutritious whole food and health-producing lifestyle choices.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Natural, Holistic Healing Changed My Life
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;

    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           That experience was a powerful force in shaping my passion for teaching people how to heal through natural remedies and lifestyle therapies. I am living proof that natural, holistic healing can change lives! I believe I was prepared and healed expressly for the purpose of helping people, just like you, find answers through natural remedies and lifestyle strategies.

           Current life expectancy is 78 years. It has a defined beginning – when you are born and an indefinite end.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;

  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           People live life one day at a time – sunrise to sunrise, using the tools they were born with and learned, each day, along the way.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

           There are 3 parts to life: past, future, and present.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;ul&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            The past
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
          
             won’t change.
            &#xD;
        &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
          
             The future
            &#xD;
        &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            is a collection of possibilities (many seldom manifest).
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            The present
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
          
             is when you can write your life story – one choice at a time. Choices, in the present, have binary possibilities; either an intended - or an unintended consequence (for better or worse).
            &#xD;
        &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/ul&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           There are no magic bullets to fix what you’ve broken.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           I’ve spent the last 30+ years helping people wrestle with unintended consequences.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           The 1st recommendation is always: stop digging – start learning.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Barring accidents at birth, accidental injury, or infection, it always boils down to 1 or a combination of 3 things – dietary and/or biochemical consumption, physical abuse of their bodies, mental or emotional stress.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Life is simple, but it’s not easy when you don’t know the rules.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           My books and booklets are my attempts at explaining the rules. These books and booklets are inexpensive, easy to read and understand.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           I cordially invite you to invest in learning how to ease your journey down life’s path.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
