Knowledge and Wisdom Support Your Successes
by Sandy Karn
Knowledge is a very important element in your
success in business. It is true that you really need to know your business,
your products, their benefits to the buyer and learn about people skills.
All these things are a given. Without them, how far would you
get?
I believe it is possible to get a college degree
and be a walking encyclopedia of knowledge, but if you don't have wisdom
where will you be going?
Wisdom is the golden nugget that makes the major
difference in your life. Being wise to life, your mind, your reality
and your existence is the bonus to your success. Wisdom is not something
you go to bed one night without it and wake up the next day with it.
Wisdom comes from experience. It comes from
the desire to find it deep within yourself. It is all there.
All you have to do is uncover it. My suggestion here is that you
do just that.
Be asking yourself questions like: What
is life all about? What is my role here in it? What am I here
to learn? What's it all about anyway? How can I surround myself
with wisdom? What can I learn from others?
Can I keep my mind from running away with itself
listening to my ego and other superficial things that can lead me astray?
Can I keep my mind from pulling me into fear? Can I hold on to my
faith that will sustain truth? What is truth? Can I keep my
mind from distorting it?
Can I stay in the inner core of my being so I
can see deeply and clearly what my life is really all about? If I
can, I will live more in peace, freedom, harmony and joy and just maybe
I can share that wisdom with the other people in my life who I care about.
That sharing is not about telling them.
It is about role- modeling it so they might have a better chance of getting
it.
Give some thought and answer the questions above.
There is a lot there. You could take weeks to contemplate these questions
and more wisdom could evolve through their answers.

A Little Humor
Career Choice
=-=-=-=-=-=-=
An older couple had a son, who was still living
with his parents.
The parents were a little worried, as the son
was still unable to decide about his future career. They decided to do
a small test. They took a ten-dollar bill, a bible, and a bottle of whiskey,
and put them on the front hall table, and hid, pretending they're not home.
The father's plan was: "If our son takes the money,
he will be a businessman, if he takes the bible, he will be a priest -
but if he takes the bottle of whiskey, I'm afraid our son will be a drunkard."
So, the parents waited nervously, hiding in the
nearby closet. Peeping through the keyhole they saw their son arrive. The
son saw the note they had left. Then, he took the 10-dollar bill, looked
at it against the light, and slid it in his pocket. After that, he took
the bible, flicked through it, and took it. Then, he grabbed the bottle,
opened it and took a whiff, to get assured of the quality. Then he left
for his room, carrying all the three items.
The father slapped his forehead, and said: "Darn.
Our son is going to be a politician!"

One of the kindergarten teacher's Chinese-Canadian
students was about to get a new little brother or sister. The teacher asked
every few days if the blessed event had happened yet. The little boy was
getting more excited as the days rolled by. Finally, one day the teacher
asked her usual question, and the child broke into a big smile and nodded.
"Well, what was it?" the teacher asked.
The little boy, full of excitement and wonder,
blurted, "Chinese!"

While working at a pizza parlor I observed a man
ordering a small pizza to go. He appeared to be alone and the cook asked
him if he would like it cut into 4 pieces or 6 pieces.
He thought about it for some time before responding.
"Just cut it into 4 pieces; I don't think I'm hungry enough to eat 6 pieces."

Our family-owned restaurant is the setting for
many of our discussions about how to handle the customer who asks, "What's
good tonight?"
Obviously, we would never serve anything we didn't
think was good. I braced myself one Saturday night when I heard the dreaded
question posed to my husband.
He calmly replied, "Anything over $17.95."

Health Tip of the Week
by Dr. Earl Mindell
More HRT Confusion
Two headlines appeared in two different national
newspapers on the same day, about the same study. The day was Valentine's
Day, February 14, 2006. In the Wall Street Journal, the headline read:
"Estrogen's Heart Benefits Gain Support." USA Today's headline read, "Final
estrogen report finds no heart disease benefit." And yes, these two reporters
were writing about the same study—an analysis of the WHI (Women's Health
Initiative) data, published in the Archives of Internal Medicine. Is it
any wonder women are confused about this issue?
Let's look at the Wall Street Journal article
first. Reporter Tara Parker-Pope describes a new analysis of the Women's
Health Initiative study results, which you may recall caused a big stir
in 2002 when increases in heart disease and breast cancer risk were found
in women who used HRT (hormone replacement therapy) after menopause. (After
those results came out, some 50 percent of women who were using HRT stopped
cold turkey.) She writes that this analysis "provides the strongest evidence
to date that estrogen doesn't pose a heart risk to younger women and may
even offer additional protection." The article goes on to report that many
scientists are questioning whether the health risks of HRT were overstated
in the aftermath of those early WHI results—whether those results only
applied to women who were long past menopause when they started to use
PremPro (the estrogen drug Premarin plus the progestin Provera). Further
analysis of the data find that women who start estrogen at a younger age—not
estrogen plus progestin, but just estrogen, which can only be done by women
who have had a hysterectomy—may actually have reduced risk of heart disease
later on. Those who were found to reap heart-health benefits from estrogen
replacement started the estrogen between the ages of 50 and 59; any woman
who started estrogen therapy after age 60 did not benefit, and anyone 70
and over seemed to have increased heart risk with estrogen.
Parker-Pope tells us that the Archives of Internal
Medicine study did not evaluate stroke or blood-clot risks—both of which
have been found to increase with estrogen administration—and it did not
evaluate the use of estrogens plus progestins. No woman with a uterus can
use estrogens alone without some form of progesterone to counteract their
carcinogenic effects on the uterine lining. It's well-known that estrogens
alone are good for the heart; the problem is the progestins that usually
have to be given along with them, which have been found to erase estrogen's
heart-healthy effects.
The bottom line of the Wall Street Journal article:
timing of HRT matters. Once 10 years have passed since menopause, no benefit
is to be had, but younger women who are considering using HRT short-term
to treat menopausal symptoms may not need to worry about heart risks later
on...as long as they don't use progestins, too. As soon as you add progestins
to the picture, you increase risk of breast cancer, blood clots, and heart
attacks.
Now, let's look at the USA Today article, penned
by Rita Rubin. She starts out, "Taking estrogen does not reduce post-menopausal
women's risk of a non-fatal heart attack or dying from coronary heart disease,
although some data suggest it might protect women in their 50s, according
to the final report on the subject from a landmark study." She writes that
the Archives study "did find fewer heart attacks and coronary deaths in
the women in their 50s who took estrogen," but—unlike Parker-Pope—she points
out that there were too few cases of heart attack and coronary death to
ascertain whether the results were due to chance or to effects of the HRT.
She also tells readers that the results of this final analysis of WHI data
is not being used to recommend HRT for long-term heart disease prevention—for
which it had been used for years, even decades, before the 2002 WHI study
came out.
Rubin addresses the progestin issue, and brings
up the other troubling evidence that has come up over the course of the
Women's Health Initiative: one study of 10,739 women who took estrogen
only (as Premarin) found increased risk of stroke, and another study in
this same group, released in 2004, found an increased risk of dementia
when the estrogens were given to women between the ages of 65 and 79. Rubin
ends the article by reporting that JoAnn Manson, a co-author of the Archives
paper, said "that the new finding should be reassuring to women who are
concerned about the safety of taking estrogen for relief of menopausal
symptoms." No mention in the end of the article about where progestins
or progesterone fit into this picture, or of which women need to think
about this issue.
So, in the end, articles meant to inform end up
further heightening confusion. If estrogens are now thought to be safe
for menopausal symptoms, what about progesterone? Are all women who have
uteruses still recommended to use progestins, despite the risks that they
will erase any heart benefits from Premarin? What about natural hormones,
which are available in many forms? Why isn't anyone in the mainstream press
or mainstream medical world helping women to figure out whether natural
hormones are a viable alternative? After all, natural progesterone and
estrogens appear to be safer, and just as effective for dealing with menopausal
symptoms.
The answer here is clear: the funding isn't there
to look at natural hormones. The big drug companies, having taken a hard
hit with the downfall of Premarin and Provera and related synthetic HRT,
are pouring all kinds of energy and money into finding a new niche for
their products. They aren't going to look at natural alternatives to their
synthetic products because natural hormones cannot be patented (unless
there's a unique delivery system involved, as with the natural micronized
progesterone pill, Prometrium).
The gold standard resource on natural hormones
for women in premenopause, perimenopause, and menopause are the books by
John R. Lee, M.D., and Virginia Hopkins: What Your Doctor May Not Tell
You About Menopause, What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Premenopause,
and What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Breast Cancer.
