We Are What we Awaken To

One by one, many of my friends and family are waking up to what they're putting into their bodies via food, drink, skin care products, etc. We have been warned my brothers and sisters. We're having enough of a challenge dealing with poor air quality affecting our respiratory systems and quality of life. However, when it comes to what we put in our bodies, many of us have a choice. The sooner we choose the wiser, the sooner this planet and her residents will be able to live in the natural and healthy conditions intended for us. - Forrest Kolb via Facebook

Stem Cell Function In Space?

Source: PopSci - Human stem cells grown in a simulated microgravity environment develop differently than those grown under normal conditions, an Australian study has found. The finding could have implications for space colonization and long-term spaceflight.

Using a NASA-developed rotating vessel that simulates microgravity, an Australian whiz-kid researcher found the stem cells' protein expressions were vastly different than when grown in normal Earth gravity, Discovery News reports.

About 64 percent of the proteins found in the microgravity cells were not present in control samples. The microgravity cells contained proteins involved in the breakdown of bone and the regulation of calcium, neither of which were found in regular, Earth-gravity cells. Embryonic stem cells can differentiate into any of the body's hundreds of cell types. 21-year-old Elizabeth Blaber, who co-authored the study, presented a paper last month at an astrobiology conference in Houston.

Spaceflight wreaks havoc on the body -- astronauts experience muscle atrophy, bone-density loss and slower heart rates in orbit. Plenty of research has been done in those areas, but the Australian team, supervised by Brendan Burns of the University of New South Wales in Sydney, says little has been done on the cellular level.

The finding that stem cells express different proteins under microgravity could help explain muscular and skeletal changes in adults.

The research also showed that anti-oxidant levels fell over time, which could shed light on why wounds heal more slowly in space.

More news is forthcoming on stem cells in space, as researchers pore over the results of a mouse stem cell experiment space shuttle Discovery brought to and from the International Space Station last month.

For that study, a ball of mouse stem cells sat in a small reactor, where they were allowed to differentiate. On Earth, mouse stem-cell balls are considered a model for understanding how stem cells differentiate and develop. NASA researchers are still analyzing the results.

Although adults don't have embryonic stem cells, the research is important for understanding the health effects of living -- and maybe someday procreating -- in space.

Michelle Obama's Plan to End Childhood Obesity Epidemic

Source: WebMD - Spearheaded by Michelle Obama, a new presidential initiative would reverse the child obesity epidemic.

The goal, as set out in a report from the White House Task Force on Childhood Obesity, is to reduce childhood obesity from 20% to 5% by 2030.

To accomplish this, the plan makes 70 recommendations for early childhood, for parents and caregivers, for school meals and nutrition education, for access to healthy food, and for increasing physical activity.

"For the first time, the nation will have goals, benchmarks, and measurable outcomes that will help us tackle the childhood obesity epidemic one child, one family, and one community at a time," Obama says in a news release.

U.S. kids haven't always been obese. Only one in 20 children ages 2 to 19 was obese in the 1970s. But around 1980 child obesity began to rocket to today's stratospheric level: Nearly one in three kids is overweight or obese, and nearly one in five is frankly obese.

Everyone knows obese kids face worse health than their normal-weight peers. What this means is that higher rates of diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and lung disease may lower children's life expectancy below that of their parents.

Other effects are becoming apparent. The U.S. armed forces now warn that one in four Americans aged 17 to 24 is too heavy for military service.

To reverse these trends, the White House plan seeks to cut child obesity and overweight rates by 2.5% by 2015 and by 5% by 2020. It's not a vague goal. Scorekeeping will be up to the CDC, which reports child obesity rates every two years.

Who is Braco?

Source: Braco-info.com - "We all carry a seed inside, which can become a beautiful fruit one day." This sentence describes, what thousands of people felt after they have seen Braco. He has dedicated his life to wake up all those positive and beautiful feelings and energies, which we all carry in ourselves and to help ill, sad and hopeless people.

Braco does not talk to his visitors, nor does he touch them or use any other form of nonverbal suggestion: He simply is gazing at them. But his successes and the reports of his visitors about fascinating recoveries and positive changes in their lives attract more and more people from all over the world. And during those silent sessions people feel deeply touched even without having any direct and personal contact with Braco. They feel touched by an invisible and silent power, which is flowing through them and they try to open and assimilate that power.

Drago Plecko, a famous scientist and expert on spiritual phenomena has been watching and searching Braco´s work and its results for over three years. He describes those sessions as “A heart-to-heart-talk, a moment in which we can taste the nectar of love which can change everything in our lives and enable us to create miracles with ourselves and in our lives.”

Plecko says that our session with Braco is just the first step into a process, which we have to carry on and that we need to work with that energy and power, which we received during our session with Braco, by using the tools and media, which we can take home.

Braco never promises help or cure to his visitors and he also says about himself, that he is not a healer. He says: “I am a normal person, I just found that invisible energy and I want to share it with everybody. I know, that everybody else can feel and carry that energy as well.”

More and more scientist confirm that our body and our spirit are directly connected with each other and all those scientists are not surprised by the fascinating successes and reports about Braco´s work, because they know, that health can be influenced by the spiritual level.

Braco describes those moments, when he is standing in front of the people with following words: “I try to take all those people in my arms and give them an invisible and deep hug of love and warmth. I try to enlight that spark which we all carry in ourselves and which can build that wonderful flame of love in us.”

Meet Braco in LA Saturday and Sunday: Braco takes no money for his gifts of healing, but room charges are $8.00 p/ session. No one under 18 & women past the 1st trimester are not allowed. Links galore on this evite webpage, but go to BracoAmerica.com for more info & new PRESALE TICKETS.

When: April 23rd, 2010 @ 9am to April 25th, 2010 @ 5pm

Where: The Beverly Garland Hotel, Father Serra Room & Grand Ballroom 4222 Vineland Ave North Hollywood, CA, near Universal Studios

We will be holding a certain amount of tickets to sell at the event outside the door for each session for those who don't have access to computers or credit cards. We encourage trusting this flow playing out in divine perfection as we gather to enjoy the energy of his gaze, so thank you for understanding Braco's (pronounced Braht-zoh) sense of equal opportunity.
