Are You a “Ticking Time Bomb?”
Are You “Rearranging the Deck Chairs on Your Own Titanic?”
Socrates said: “Know
thyself”
“Job One” for us is to know how we tick.
Main Points:
- If we do the same as everyone else, are we not likely to get the same results?
- One in three will get cancer
- Heart disease is the leading cause of death
- Cases of diabetes are increasing
- Obesity is an epidemic and likely to result in many health conditions
- We are NOT helpless and at the mercy of our genes or
DNA
- Psychoneuroimmunology has discovered it is NOT our DNA, but how our DNA expresses itself
- We have control of our DNA expression
- Are you worth a few hours of study to dramatically decrease your chance of getting cancer? And possibly other diseases as well?
The world conspires to take our attention outside of ourselves. We are urged to spend our time, energy and money in studying subjects that can make us money. We are led to
activities that “rearrange the furniture” in our lives.
What does it profit us to gain material wealth if we lose our health in the process?
If you do what everyone else does, are you not likely to get much the same results as everyone else?
Let’s see what results “everyone else” is getting.
Let’s see the stats on cancer, heart disease and diabetes. The three
“Biggies.”
Cancer
The World Health Organization (WHO) tells us there were 14.1 million new cases of cancer in 2012 worldwide. They forecast that to rise to 22 million in two decades.
This is after billions spent in the “fight against cancer.”
100 years ago, one person in one hundred had cancer. That is expected to increase to one in three.
Like
Playing Russian Roulette
Imagine a three barrel revolver. Put a bullet in one chamber, spin it and point it at your head.
A graphic image but is that not what we do when we do the same as everyone else?
If we do the same as everyone else, we will likely get the ________ results. Fill in the blank.
Heart Disease
It is the leading
cause of death in the US, accounting for one quarter of all deaths.
The Center for Disease Control (CDC) tells us there are 720,000 heart attacks per year. This costs the US health system $108.9 billion a year.
In Canada, Statistics Canada says that in 2008, heart disease is responsible for 29% of all deaths, a total of 69,703. That translates to someone dying every 7 minutes.
If we do the same as everyone else, we will
likely get the ________ results.
Diabetes
In 2012, 29.1% of Americans had it. A further 8.1% are undiagnosed diabetics. It is the seventh leading cause of death.
In Canada 4% of our population had it in the year 2000. By 2008, that had grown to 5%. Are we heading in the right direction?
Remember: If we do the same as everyone else, we will likely get the ________
results.
Obesity
According to the CDC, in the year 2011-2012, the percentage of adults over the age of 20 who had it? 35.1%. The percentage of overweight people is 69.0%.
Health Canada says the percentage of overweight or obese people has increased dramatically over the last 25 years.
Statistics Canada says that in 2004, 23.1% of Canadians were obese. That’s 5.5 million people out
of a total population of 30 million.
Those who are obese have a greater risk of heart disease, stroke, diabetes, high blood pressure, gall bladder problems, osteoarthritis, some cancers, depression, lack of self-esteem and sleep apnea. That is according to Health Canada.
If we do the same as everyone else, we will likely get the ________ results.
Are you a “ticking time
bomb?”
What can you do to get a different result from “everyone else?”
By the way, if you believe that there is nothing we can do, that it is all determined by our genes, I have news for you. Author Bruce Lipton destroyed that concept in his work The Biology of Belief.
The newly emerging field of psychoneuroimmunology has discovered that it is not what our DNA is, but how it expresses itself!
And we have power over that expression.
Here’s how. Take Socrates words to heart and undertake the study of yourself. How do you tick? “Know thyself.”
Let’s take cancer as an example. Is there a way to reduce your odds from one in three?
Dr. Neil McKinney is a naturopathic doctor in Victoria, BC, Canada who specializes in cancer treatment. In fact, he has authored the book Naturopathic
Oncology. An Encyclopedic Guide for Patients and Physicians.
Chapter 23 outlines a host of protocols you and I can implement to dramatically reduce the odds of first getting cancer and secondly, give us a far better chance of releasing cancer should we get it.
Do you believe that you may be worth $40 and a few hours of time to reduce the odds of cancer devastating your life?
My message to you? Undertake the study of
how you tick. You will be richly rewarded.
You may not live any longer, but you may find a deeper satisfaction in life in taking more control of your health, your energy, your vitality and your “fun quotient.”

The Swing - Poem by Robert Louis Stevenson
How do you like to go up in a swing,
Up in the air so blue?
Oh, I do think it the pleasantest thing
Ever a child can do!
Up in the air and over the wall,
Till I can see
so wide,
River and trees and cattle and all
Over the countryside--
Till I look down on the garden green,
Down on the roof so brown--
Up in the air I go flying again,
Up in the air and down!

That’s it for now. Enjoy your month.
