Christmas and Chanukah: A Light Shining in The Darkness

Imagine a world without light. I know it can be really hard, right? Without this fundamental element there would be no sight, no plants, no animals, no life; just a cold, dark, lifeless, void. The Christmas season is the time to contemplate the birth of The Light of the World, and the Chanukah season is a celebration of miraculous Divine Light. 

As Christ said, “I am the light of the world. He who follows me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life” (John 8:12)  

Light is fundamental to both spirituality and science, and the concept of plasma is a bridge to understanding this critical source of light that fills the cosmos.

increases in cancer rates

Over the past 30 years, the world has seen an increase in the rates of cancer in patients younger than 50. Many physicians and scientists around the world have joined in the great detective story to untangle the causes of this complex medical mystery.   

Since the pandemic began, oncologists have been noticing a disturbing rise in cancer cases, including rare cancers among younger adults. Early data from national sources and some large cancer institutions also suggests that there has been an increase in aggressive late-stage cancers. 

“We started noticing some very unusual patterns,” said Kashyap Patel from Carolina Blood and Cancer Care Associates. Patel and his colleagues have seen a 20% to 30% increase in new patients, multiple patients with several different cancers, couples and siblings developing cancers within months of each other, and patients relapsing after years of remission.1

What You Need To Know About IV Vitamin C and Cancer Seen Through The Lens Of Mederi-Care

By Donnie Yance 

The noblest foundation for medicine is love.  It is love that teaches us the art of healing. Without love true healing can never be born.” – Paracelsus 

Intravenous (IV) nutrient therapy, which most often includes vitamins, minerals, and sometimes botanical isolates has become very popular these days. IV vitamin C and cancer is a big topic in the world today. In very specific circumstances IV vitamin therapy can be excellent for people who have digestive disorders that prevent proper absorption of nutrients; however, don’t be fooled into thinking that this is an all-natural holistic medicine. It is extremely invasive, and at the massive pharmacological doses used, I don’t believe it’s good for you. We need to get back to gentle nourishing medicine that supports innate healing in a more unitive way.

Celebrate St Francis of Assisi Feast Day October 4th

How St. Francis Inspired My Faith Journey

I always find it hard to describe my personal faith because there is so much to it. I was raised Roman Catholic, studied and learned from all the great religions, became a Third Order Franciscan in 1983 in the Eastern Byzantine Rite, and lived in an Eastern Rite Franciscan monastery studying to be a monk for almost three years. More recently, I have embraced a spiritual lifestyle practice called Mussar based in Judaism, and currently, I might say I am still Catholic but with some of the Jewish faith interwoven. At my core, I am a human spirit trying to be a better version of myself, bringing love and goodness to our troubled world. The rest – well, is truly a mystery.
