Mass Shootings\u2026. Cause and Effect<\/h1>\n<\/header>\n
\n

A frank discussion that probes deeper into the Cause – Effect Relationship<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Overview<\/h2>\n
\n

All of the rhetoric surrounding the recent (and increasing) string of tragedies is focused on superficial and immediate issues\u2026 namely access to firearms and protecting groups being assaulted.\u00a0 Maintaining our focus at this level \u2013 as recent history shows \u2013 is doing nothing to reduce, let alone stop this carnage.\u00a0 IMHO, we need to look deeper to find the real cause that will affect real change.<\/p>\n

The real cause will NOT be found packaged in a neat set of Mental Health Parameters, or Access Restriction Plans like metal-detectors or lockdowns\u2026 the real cause can only be found when we broaden our perspective and step back to take in several more fundamental aspects of life in America today.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Chronic Disease Analogy<\/h2>\n
\n

I like analogies, and the one that comes to mind to help explain the phenomena that I see happening is cancer in the body.\u00a0 I chose this controversial example because it points out similar problems that directly relate on both an individual and a national level.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

First of all, there are several controversial points of view on cancer itself\u2026 on what causes it\u2026 and if it\u2019s even curable.\u00a0 The conventional western medical opinion is that they don\u2019t really know what causes it and that it\u2019s basically not curable.\u00a0 To be clear, they\u2019ve created methods to arrest it, but still don\u2019t understand how to prevent it.\u00a0 They\u2019ve arrived at these conclusions after spending many years and staggering amounts of money studying this disease.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Now\u2026 please re-read that last sentence\u2026 does it seem logical?<\/p>\n

Does it appear to be an intelligent assessment of the situation?\u00a0 If you think so, you are in the majority, and are conditioned to that conclusion.<\/p>\n

What????\u00a0\u00a0 OK\u2026 please let me explain myself by saying, \u2018what you focus your attention on is where you will produce your results\u2019.\u00a0 In this case, the money and attention is focused on the disease.\u00a0 You\u2019re probably thinking\u2026 yeah\u2026. So what??\u00a0 What\u2019s the point?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A Paradigm Shift is Necessary<\/strong><\/h2>\n

My point is that if you focus all your attention on the Dis-ease, then you are not putting any energy toward Health, so you will never create a Cure, only more dis-ease.\u00a0 Why?\u00a0 Because you are taking a body that is disrupted and creating more disruption.<\/p>\n

Creating a Cure, is essentially a paradigm shift\u2026 a radical change of perspective.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The following is an excerpt from Stephen Covey\u2019s best seller The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People\u2026 <\/strong>it illustrates a paradigm shift very well.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Principle-Centered Paradigm<\/h4>\n

The character ethic is based on the fundamental idea that there are principles that govern human effectiveness \u2013 natural laws in the human dimension that are just as real, just as unchanging and unarguably \u201cthere\u201d as laws such as gravity are in the physical dimension.<\/p>\n

An idea of the reality \u2013 and the impact \u2013 of these principles can be captured in another paradigm-shifting experience as told by Frank Kock in Proceedings, the magazine of the Naval Institute.<\/p>\n

Two battleships assigned to the training squadron had been at sea on maneuvers
\nin heavy weather for several days. I was serving on the lead battleship and was on watch
\non the bridge as night fell. The visibility was poor with patchy fog, so the captain
\nremained on the bridge keeping an eye on all activities.<\/em><\/p>\n

Shortly after dark, the lookout on the wing of the bridge reported, \u201cLight, bearing on the starboard bow.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cIs it steady or moving astern?\u201d the captain called out.<\/em><\/p>\n

Lookout replied, \u201cSteady, captain,\u201d which meant we were on a dangerous collision course with that ship.<\/em><\/p>\n

The captain then called to the signal man, \u201cSignal that ship:
\nWe are on a collision course, advise you change course 20 degrees.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Back came a signal, \u201cAdvisable for you to change course 20 degrees.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The captain said, \u201cSend, I\u2019m a captain, change course 20 degrees.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m a seaman second class,\u201d came the reply. \u201cYou had better change course 20 degrees.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

By that time, the captain was furious. He spat out, \u201cSend, I\u2019m a battleship. Change course 20 degrees.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Back came the flashing light, \u201cI\u2019m a lighthouse.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

We changed course.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2026and that\u2019s a paradigm shift in action.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Medical Paradigm Shift Needed<\/h2>\n
\n

If the monstrous medical machine had a paradigm shift by focusing their attention on Health instead of Disease, they would start making strides toward a cure. If they looked at the body as an integrated mass of cells, grouped together at various levels, all with the express purpose of performing various functions in harmony and constant communication with each other\u2026 and then looked at how anomalies are caused, they would quickly recognize that cells that become isolated do not act normally\u2026 that they become disruptive and unresponsive, and act out and damage cells around them\u2026 that they become \u201ccancerous\u201d.\u00a0 If the focus was on how the cell became unhealthy, and what it would take to return them to health, then they would answer the questions and solve the problem.<\/p>\n

And what causes these anomalies?\u00a0 Is it some drastic event?\u00a0 Not normally\u2026 actually in a majority of the cases, it is a series of small, seemingly inconsequential events that become cumulative.\u00a0 These events focus around cellular nutrition. \u00a0When cells are continually deprived of fundamental nutrition, their operating environment becomes toxic to the point where it is unresponsive. \u00a0They become isolated and have no choice but to resort to drastic measures to survive\u2026 and no amount of \u2018slashing and burning\u2019 (surgery and radiation) will change that\u2026 only a shift in nutrition and whole body support.\u00a0 In other words, a return to overall healthy nutrition and normal cellular communication.<\/p>\n

So, with that in mind\u2026 can you see the similarities between cancer cells and these troubled teens?\u00a0 They are essentially isolated and toxic\u2026 and no amount of drugs or confinement will solve their real problem.<\/strong><\/p>\n

If we looked at our society, and the three generations that currently inhabit it, and look at what it takes to make it healthy and productive, we would be on the right track.\u00a0 A healthy society would be supportive, encouraging and nurturing.\u00a0 It would be interactive, inter-generational and interdependent.\u00a0 It would encourage, provide and promote an environment that acknowledged our individual uniqueness and celebrated our common desire to live harmoniously with each other.<\/p>\n

I believe that these teens are nutritionally deficient, to the point that they are disconnected from the normal healthy energy that is our American society.\u00a0 And, this did not happen overnight\u2026 it wasn\u2019t one bad meal that created this dis-ease\u2026 it\u2019s virtually all of the food that they\u2019ve come in contact with, and continue to come in contact with today.<\/p>\n

The standard American diet (SAD) is just that\u2026 sad\u2026 in respects of how un-nutritious and toxic it is to any human body.\u00a0 If you subject any human organism to such treatment, the results will be similar.\u00a0 Do you remember the mad cow disease outbreak in the mid 1980\u2019s?\u00a0 Feeding animals other animals as a form of efficiency?\u00a0 And we\u2019re supposed to be the more evolved species?<\/p>\n

Between the elimination of fat, the introduction of sugar, and the addition of chemical enhancers and preservatives, we have made food essentially unrecognizable to the human body from a nutritional standpoint\u2026 and our bodies\u2026 being the faithful vessel they are\u2026 are trying valiantly to adapt to these huge shifts.\u00a0 Sadly, the evidence shows that it is outside of its \u201ccomfort zone\u201d\u2026 that it cannot maintain basic physiological and cognitive function.<\/p>\n

The sad and scary part is that it affects our youth the most\u2026 as evidenced by the exponential rise in diseases like Autism, Attention Deficit, Asthma, Allergies, Diabetes, Obesity, Major Depression, and Cancer.\u00a0 Again, I believe these are all directly tied to and related to the continual assault on the human body with these toxic commodities that we unknowingly substitute for food today.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Correlation<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The reason for the analogy is purposeful\u2026 because one is an extension of the other\u2026<\/p>\n

    \n
  • The body is made up of trillions of cells\u2026 the country is made up of millions of people.<\/li>\n
  • If enough isolated and disruptive cells exist in the body, we become sick and demonstrate counterproductive traits\u2026 if enough isolated and disruptive people exist in the country, our country becomes fearful and demonstrates counterproductive traits.<\/li>\n
  • Personal Health occurs when we focus on reconnecting the isolated cells and nourish them\u2026 National Health occurs when we focus on reconnecting the isolated people and nourish them.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

     <\/p>\n

    The Solution<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    The solution should be obvious by now\u2026 to stop poisoning ourselves, and especially our young.\u00a0\u00a0Start nourishing ourselves, and especially our young with dense, highly nutritional foods.<\/p>\n

    How?\u00a0 I envision a multiple step approach\u2026<\/p>\n

    Individually\u2026<\/strong><\/h4>\n

    Reject the garbage that the food industry is selling by choosing to stop purchasing foods that are contaminated with preservatives and pesticides, and buying responsibly grown foods that actually does provide nutrition\u2026 please remember that the ONLY point of food is cellular nutrition\u2026 not comfort or a way to pass time!!<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Collectively\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    • Demand government agencies that are charged with the responsibility to oversee corporations and protect us do their job properly and stop being a shield for unscrupulous business practices;<\/li>\n
    • Hold company\u2019s accountable for violating our public trust through deceitful business practices, companies who are producing products that provide little nutritional sustenance and lots of toxic additives and pesticides.<\/li>\n
    • Create or support class action lawsuits against the major pesticide producers and distributors, whose products are destroying the very Eco-system that we rely on for our existence and ultimately our health.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Our Eco-system is as delicately balanced as we are\u2026 we are an extension of it\u2026 so it naturally follows that when we disrupt, it we disrupt ourselves.<\/p>\n

      Just like you cannot isolate cells in our human body without dire consequences, you cannot isolate human beings in our society without dire consequences\u2026 and that is the true cause and effect of this mass shooting epidemic specifically, and our various health epidemics generally.<\/p>\n

      If this resonates with you, please pass it on\u2026<\/p>\n

      If you have questions, I\u2019m only a click away\u2026 another gift of our present time\u2026<\/p>\n

      I look forward to hearing from you!!<\/p>\n

      Thank you and Be Well<\/p>\n
