Here's a little practical advice that we came across in our travels that may help you as well.

How many times have you called a bank, credit card company, electric company, telephone company or almost any other utility and wound up having to go through a computerized phone answering system that doesn't address where you need to go or you get lost in it and find there's no way to speak to a live person to work it out? Frustrating, isn't it? Extremely frustrating!! Well, we came across a website called Gethuman.com that provides phone numbers and the way through the maze of computerized answering machines. Just type in the webpage above and it pops up and gives you the phone numbers and how to get through to a human being. You can dial them directly because they're highlighted on their list. It can save you a lot of time and frustration too. But, then again, you could use Emotional Freedom Technique to tap on the frustration in either event. We hope this will help.

WHAT A GREAT DAY OF HEALING!!!
EFT LEVEL 1 WORKSHOP

This is an CONGRATULATE all those who took the EFT Level 1 training course last Sunday. It was attended by a number of therapists, psychologists and one Medical Doctor who came all the way from Philadelphia. The most interesting thing about the group was that we did more healing work throughout the day than ever before and used every healing segment to teach the course in a hands-on experiential way. What I discovered as "the teacher" was that it worked better for everyone because they not only were able to be taught about each part of EFT, they were able to see and feel it happen before their eyes as various people healed their issues and pains.

It was heartening to see people who specialize in helping others heal learn how to add one more technique to their "healing tool chest." I could see the eyes of everyone as they quietly contemplated how they were going to use this wonderfully powerful technique to help their clients/patients in their own practices. A couple have already made their reservations for the Level 2 Intermediate Course that will be taught for an entire weekend on April 26-27th. If any of you have already taken the EFT Level 1 Workshop and are interested in attending the Level 2, please be sure to call and reserve you spot ahead of time so we make sure to have enough room for you. It's a great weekend seminar and the majority of it is to teach you how to effectively do EFT on others in your practice. I also do a lot of coaching on an individual basis, so you get to practice with someone critiquing and teaching you at the same time. It's an excellent weekend, even if I say so myself.

Blessings,

PROBIOTICS HELPS PROTECT TOP ATHLETES

Probiotic supplements are used to replenish the "good bacteria" that normally reside in your intestines and help digest the food you eat. However, for all those who didn't know this before, whenever you take antibiotics, inordinate amounts of alcohol or any number of other ways, you can actually "kill off" much of the normal "good bacteria" in your intestines.

Over the years, it has been discovered that by taking the opposite of antibiotics, which are called probiotics, people can actually reduce the number and length of infections suffered by them. This has recently been proven for long-distance runners.

It's long been known that strenuous training can adversely affect the immune system and make athletes vulnerable to coughs and colds, but, recently, a study has shown that taking probiotics can cut those colds to less than half the time that runners show symptoms.

The study used 20 top-level endurance runners during an intensive winter training period. All 20 took a courses of probiotic supplement pills for the entire period -- one tablet contained the bacterium Lactobacillus fermentum (the probiotic), and the other containing no active ingredients (called a placebo).

There were a total of 72 days in which people taking the placebo pills complained of cough or cold symptoms, compared to only 30 days for those taking the probiotics. This is one study that points to the fact that probiotics can help your body get over and stay free of colds and coughs.
