I am sure that many of you read about a new study showing that Crestor, a popular statin drug manufactured by AstraZeneca, has been found to confer an additional and potentially even greater benefit than its ability to lower cholesterol. Researchers, funded by AstraZeneca, wanted to explain why half of the people who have heart attacks and strokes also have low cholesterol. They set out to determine whether inflammation, as measured by a C-reactive protein test (CRP), was an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Not surprisingly, they found that it was. They also found that Crestor lowered inflammation. Now, the study’s researchers and others are recommending that anyone with inflammation (elevated CRP) take a statin to prevent heart disease—even those who are healthy and not at risk for heart disease. My advice? Buyer beware!
The study’s so-called medical breakthrough—that reducing inflammation reduces the risk for heart disease—is not new! For years, I, and many other credible holistic doctors, have been saying that inflammation, not high cholesterol, is the root cause of heart disease—and all chronic degenerative diseases for that matter.

Finding Your Life’s Purpose
“We live in a world where all things are possible. There are no accidents. There’s a divine, organizing intelligence that supports all things. And if you can just let go and trust in that, everything will turn out perfectly.” — Wayne W. Dyer To manifest anything in your life, you must know the difference between “the wrong time” and procrastination. It could be that the timing simply isn’t right to manifest a dream. But many times, we just put things off because of a habit of thought. Though I adore my work, I’d fallen into a pattern that I know is familiar to many of you. I’d allowed the demands of my schedule to take over my life. It dawned on me that if I kept putting off my dreams until “someday when I had more time,” I’d simply become an old woman who was looking back on missed opportunities. If you have a dream, take action of some kind to encourage it from thought to reality. Imagine it. Cut out pictures of it. Daydream about it. If you don’t know how to make it happen, then stand outside under a night full of stars and say, “Universe, give me a sign! Show me what my next steps are to make my dreams come true!” Remember, life is full of endless possibilities. But you have to decide exactly how and when you want them to manifest for you. If you don’t know the details, then just say to the Universe, “I want this or something better.” Then you’ve got your bases covered. Lots of times the Universe has something in store that’s better than you ever imagined! When you do this, providence will move in to assist you. It’s sheer magic! And it makes life such a glorious adventure. |
![]() ![]() Find your life’s purpose in Ambition To Meaning with Wayne Dyer
In mid-November, I had the honor of sharing the stage with one of my esteemed colleagues, Dr. Wayne W. Dyer for an all-day workshop in Southern California. I adore Wayne, and his message about The Afternoon of Your Life will touch many women who are in their thirties, forties or perhaps older—who are beginning to question the truths and priorities they grew up with and finding that they can’t live them anymore. As Wayne says, “There’s something inside you that speaks louder than your words, a force that you can’t ignore, and a voice that you must get out to the world.” This month, Wayne is debuting in a beautiful and moving film, Ambition to Meaning: Finding Your Life’s Purpose where he explores his own spiritual journey and how we can manifest the life of our dreams and discover our true passion and purpose in the afternoon of our lives. If you click here, you can purchase the expanded version of Wayne’s Ambition to Meaning DVD for only $20 plus free shipping (domestic orders only). As a special bonus, we’ll also send you a free copy of Louise Hay’s empowering DVD: You Can Heal Your Life: The Movie. (Hurry! This offer expires January 31st!) If you’d like to see a film clip of Wayne’s movie and free music video, click here. |
