The five most effective yet effortless strategies for totally transforming your health for the better…
Why is this interesting to you? Because out of 100 different health strategies (such as buying all organic product, exercising 30 minutes a day, avoiding all sugar in your diet, and so on), we were able to identify the five most effective, yet effortless strategies for transforming your health! These five strategies deliver the greatest health results with the least amount of relative effort. And the list may surprise you.
In fact, this entire study really comes down to one thing: Health habits for busy people. Because a lot of the popular health information in the media just isn't practical. Who has time to exercise three hours a day? Who has the determination to buy everything organic? Who really has the discpline to avoid all added sugars? Very few people, it turns out. Thank goodness there are better strategies that actually work (and yet are doable by even super-busy people).
Powerful health transformation strategies that are free of charge and available to everyone right now!
How these five strategies literally replace over two dozen prescription drugs... and why Big Pharma hopes you NEVER learn this!
How one of the most powerful healing strategies of all takes only 5-10 minutes a day and costs NOTHING.
Down-to-earth strategies for taking charge of your health destiny, thumbing your nose at the naysayers, and totally transforming your health one day at a time... with truly stunning results!
The truth of how most people have their health priorities backwards and end up spinning their wheels, focusing on the wrong actions.
Why certain corporations have been telling you lies about health strategy #1 (hint: it makes their expensive, overpriced products irrelevant, but saves you a bundle!).
Revealed: the truth about exercise. Yes, it's great for you, but you don't need nearly as much as some health experts demand...
Why and how these strategies will enhance your energy, boost immune system function, prevent over a dozen chronic diseases and actually help REVERSE many chronic disorders.
How to use one of these five strategies to rebuild the healthy nervous sytem you deserve (your memory, cognitive function, moods and learning abilities will skyrocket!).
How the study of human ancestry points directly to one of the most powerful healing strategies of all. It's built right into your DNA, yet all the so-called health "experts" have convinced you to suppress these healing mechanisms that are present, right now, in your own body. I'll show you how to activate them in mere minutes.
Why doctors are too quick to label you as having a "disease" when, in fact, you may be merely demonstrating the obvious side effects caused by readily identifiable nutritional deficiencies. I'll show you what to look for and how to correct these simple deficiencies at little or no cost.
Revealed: the truth about dairy products, and whey they are NOT a good source of nutrition or supplemental calcium. In fact, unless you follow health transformation strategy #1, you can drink all the milk in the world and still not have stronger bones!
Why asthma is nearly always a misdiagnosis. I'll show you the TRUE causes of asthma and give you two simple strategies that cause asthma to simply vanish.
The jaw-dropping truth of why a hospital is one of the most dangerous places you can be -- and how hospitals are unintentionally designed in precisely a way that slows healing and promotes disease in patients.
Revealed: the one common nutritive substance that's almost never consumed in sufficient quantities. If you lack this, you'll suffer from asthma, high blood pressure, bowel disorders, joint pain and may even set yourself up for diabetes.
The truth about the modern food supply and how trying to get good nutrition from "three balanced meals a day" is impossible. I'll show you what to do instead!
The real reason you'll never see these health strategies heavily promoted (hint: they don't make any money for greedy corporations...)
Why many so-called "physical deformities" diagnosed by surgeons are, in fact, just dehydrated organs. Follow health transformation strategy #2 and these physical deformities simply disappear, revealing healthy, fully-shaped organs. (Mitral valve prolapse, for example, is almost always misdiagnosed in this manner...)
How to prevent arthritis pain with a common substance you probably have in your house right now.
The disturbing truth of how certain classes of prescription drugs actually fight against your body's own wisdom, stripping you of an essential element and leaving you even more diseased than before.
Which natural foods have the highest nutrient density versus foods that may be great for calories, but a nutritional letdown. (Some of these are vegetables!)
Medical myths exposed! Why you should never try to reduce the swelling of tissue injuries (and other bits of health wisdom your doctor doesn't know...)
How and why the Coca-Cola company actually waged a well-organized campaign to try to prevent people from drinking water. It was called, "Just say no to H2O!"
Revealed: the #1 cause of reduced lifespan (and it has nothing to do with what you eat, drink or smoke...)
Details on how certain emotional states actually harm your physical health and strip your body of necessary nutrition.
How five minutes a day of practicing health habit #3 can generate literally $50,000 worth of healthy brain chemicals that lift your mood, boost immune function and fight disease.
Why organized medicine still only recognizes two of the three levels of medicine. The third level is revealed in health strategy #3, along with practical advice for putting it to use in your own life!
Four simple ways to improve the healing vibe of your your work or home environment.
The dirty little secret of food processing companies, and why they don't want you to know what's actually REMOVED from their foods!
Why certain nutritional supplements are essential for peak human health: I'll show you what really works and where to get it (hint: this goes way beyond basic vitamins and minerals...)
Raw foods pitfall: why you'll never get sufficient nutrition if you eat too many raw fruits and vegetables. I'll reveal how to boost the density of whole food nutrients, giving your body a dose of medicinal foods that literally prevent chronic disease.
Names and website addresses of eight nutritional supplement companies you absolutely need to know about. These companies provide the most potent, cost-effective products on the market. I'll tell you why they're better, and how to get them. (And, no, I don't make a dime on any products mentioned in this book.)
Why taking a daily multivitamin provides nowhere near the level of nutrition your body craves. I'll show you how to go beyond multivitamins and deliver lifesaving nutrition to every cell in your body.
How to reprioritize your life to put what matters most at the top of your list: YOU! I'll show you how to determine what priorities really matter and how to GO FOR IT each day, aided by these five powerful health transformation strategies.
The keys to exercise success: how to engage in what I call "bite-sized exercise" to achieve steady progress while minimizing pain, discomfort and time investment.
Why it's critical to stop poisoning your body with toxic food ingredients if you truly wish to transform your health. I'll give you the straight story on foods that are making you sick. ... and much more.

The Aqaba Project
Donald Whitcomb, Research Associate (Associate Professor) is director of the Islamic Project at Aqaba, Jordan. There have been six field seasons at Aqaba (1986-93). The excavations at Aqaba constitute a major contribution to the little developed field of Islamic archaeology, including medieval Islamic town planning and both economic and political history. A notable aspect of this project is the close cooperation Whitcomb has established with local development and tourist departments; the excavated town is now preserved as a local tourist attraction with a visitor center and a small museum, designed and constructed with Whitcomb's participation using USAID funds. To date the project has been funded by USAID, the National Geographic Society, and private gifts.
Whitcomb's previous excavations at Islamic Luxor and at an important trading port on the Egyptian Red Sea coast have established his reputation as a leading figure in Islamic archaeology.

Try to motivated YOURSELF...
" Jika kamu memancing ikan, setelah ikan itu terlekat di mata kail hendaklah kamu mengambil terus ikan itu. Janganlah sesekali kamu lepaskan ia semula ke dalam air begitu sahaja kerana ia akan sakit oleh kerana bisanya ketajaman mata kailmu dan mungkin ia akan menderita selagi ia masih hidup… Begitulah juga setelah kamu memberi banyak pengharapan kepada seseorang. Setelah ia mula menyayangimu hendaklah kamu menjaga hatinya. Janganlah sesekali kamu terus meninggalkannya begitu sahaja kerana dia akan terluka oleh kenangan bersamamu dan mungkin tidak dapat melupakan segalanya selagi dia mengingatimu… Jika kamu menadah air biarlah berpada. Jangan terlalu mengharap pada takungannya dan janganlah menganggap ia begitu teguh. Cukuplah sekadar memenuhi keperluanmu. Kerana apabila sekali ia retak, tentu sukar untuk kamu menampalnya semula. Akhirnya ia dibuang sedangkan jika kamu cuba membaikinya, mungkin ia masih boleh digunakan lagi… Begitu juga jika kamu memiliki seseorang terimalah seadanya. Janganlah kamu terlalu mengaguminya dan janganlah kamu menganggapnya begitu istimewa. Anggaplah dia manusia biasa. Apabila sekali dia melakukan kesilapan, bukan mudah bagi kamu untuk menerimanya. Akhirnya kamu kecewa dan meninggalkannya. Sedangkan jika kamu memaafkannya, boleh jadi hubungan kamu akan berterusan hingga ke akhirnya… Jika kamu telah memiliki sepinggan nasi yang kamu pasti baik untuk dirimu. Mengenyangkan. Berkhasiat. Mengapa kamu berlengah dan cuba mencari makanan yang lain. Terlalu ingin mengejar kelazatan. Kelak, nasi itu akan basi dan kamu tidak boleh memakannya lagi. Kamu akan menyesal… Begitu juga jika kamu telah bertemu dengan seorang insan yang kamu pasti membawa kebaikan kepada dirimu. Menyayangimu. Mengasihimu. Mengapa kamu berlengah dan cuba membandingkannya dengan yang lain? Terlalu mengejar kesempurnaan. Kelak, kamu akan kehilangannya apabila dia menjadi milik orang lain. Kamu juga yang akan menyesal……"

The Culture of United Arab Emirates
The national lifestyle of UAE is strictly conditioned by strong affiliation to Islamic tradition. However, the country is highly tolerant towards expatriates who are given a great degree of religious freedom. The government spares no efforts to safeguard the religious and traditional interests of the country. In the country, one hears the regular prayer calls five times a day and sees all the people sincerely observe the religion.
Nearly all citizens of UAE are Muslims and Islam is the official religion of the land. Around 85 percent of the citizens are Sunnis while the rest belong to the Shi’a sect. Arab Emirs are the natives of UAE, each of their tribes dominating an Emirate. Non-native Asians constitute about half of the population of UAE. Among the foreign population, over 55 percent are Muslims, 25 percent are Hindus and around 10 percent are Christians.
Abu Dhabi is the capital of UAE housing 40 percent of the country’s population. However, Dubai is the largest city of UAE and the center of trade and financial activities. Since 1960s, the population of UAE has multiplied greatly due to the influx of oil workers from other counties. A great portion of the population enjoys a highly comfortable life in air-conditioned houses, apartments or villas, while a small rural population lives in moderate traditional houses.
United Arab Emirates Languages
The official language of UAE is Arabic. Also, one sees English, Hindi, Urdu and Persian widely spoken in the country. The dressing style of UAE reflects a blend of modern and traditional influences. Most of the Emirs wear dishdasha, a white, loose-fitting garment suitable to hot weather. Most women wear the long abaya, a long black robe completely covering their normal clothes. The older women wear a facemask called burka, while the younger, educated women are increasingly abandoning it.
United Arab Emirates Foods
Countries like Morocco, Egypt, Lebanon, Tunisia and Afghanistan have influenced the culinary tradition of UAE. The most popular dish of the country is called shawarma, which is a hot sandwich with lamb or chicken served in pita bread with vegetables. Suiting the hot weather, one sees a variety of juices from mango, pineapple, banana, or mixed cocktail extensively consumed throughout the country.
United Arab Emirates Islamic Clothing / Muslim Clothing
UAE's Clothing follows the traditional Islamic Clothing and Muslim Clothing attire worn in other Arab countries that includes the abaya, jilbab, hijab, etc.
United Arab Emirates Sports
The most popular national sports are falconry, camel racing and soccer.
United Arab Emirates National Social Life
Though there are disparities in the standard of life, poverty is hardly found in UAE. Within a short span of around fifty years, the towns and cities of the country have equipped themselves with all modern facilities comparable with the best of any advanced nation. Though the religion of Islam and the heritage of traditional society form the basis of a stable and conservative social structure, one sees a predominantly tolerant and cosmopolitan atmosphere in UAE. This fact is attested by the religious freedom given to the expatriates and the social freedom given to young women of the country to expose themselves to the advancements of education and science.

H1N1 Swine Flu Appears Similar to 1918 Pandemic Virus; WHO Recommends Vaccines Use Live (Attenuated) Influenza
(NaturalNews) Two shocking bits of news about the H1N1 swine flu virus emerged this week. The first is that the widely-circulating swine flu virus may be a lot more dangerous than people have so far been told: It appears to resemble the 1918 pandemic virus in the fact that it is capable of embedding itself deep in lung tissue and causing deadly infections. This is very different from the more common "seasonal flu" which does not replicate in the lungs.Explaining this concept, lead researcher Yoshihiro Kawaoka of the University of Wisconsin wrote in the journal Nature: "When we conducted the experiments in ferrets and monkeys, the seasonal virus did not replicate in the lungs... The H1N1 virus replicates significantly better in the lungs."As Reuters reports, Kawaoka also added, "There is a misunderstanding about this virus... There is clear evidence the virus is different than seasonal influenza."The 1918 influenza pandemic killed at least 40 million people globally (and probably many more). Also remember: That was a time when obesity was extremely rare. Today, obesity is alarmingly common among first-world nations, and obesity is now suspected of making a person highly susceptible to swine flu fatalities
