GIVE

By Dr. Tim Wright

There is a body of water in Israel that is actually below sea level. Water constantly trickles INTO it, but, because of the law of gravity, nothing can flow OUT of it. Do you know the name of this famous lake? It's called the Dead Sea. It's called this because the mineral deposits have accumulated to such an extent that no living thing could survive in this water. The water is literally dead.

Contrast this to what happens with "living water." When you think of the term living water" the image that comes to mind is a rushing river or bubbling spring that is FLOWING. It's filled with life and movement. It doesn't just "receive," but is also giving" simultaneously. There is LIFE there.

There's a valuable illustration here. Many of us believe that we need to RECEIVE more of something in order to be happy. Whether what we desire is money or love or something else, we think that we need MORE of it in order to be fulfilled. As a result of this, we begin to operate in fear and therefore don't GIVE anything because we're afraid that we won't have enough. The result? Like the Dead Sea, we become lifeless.

When we don't GIVE, we die.

Life is meant to flow. When a pool of anything stops flowing (giving), it becomes stagnant. Stagnant water breeds disease and death. It can't breathe. It can't receive any more. If nothing is flowing OUT, there's no room for anything else to come IN.

The solution? Give.

As you give, you WILL receive. It's a universal law. You see it at work in nature. You see it at work in the economy. You see it at work everywhere, because it's true.

We've somehow been deceived into believing that if we DON'T give, we'll have MORE. Or we're afraid that if we DO give, that we won't have anything left. On one hand, this seems to make sense. But it doesn't work. Because when we don't give, we shut off the flow of what's coming in.
 


If you truly desire to receive more of something, start giving it away. I know this sounds crazy, but it works. If you want someone to be kind to you, be kind to them. If you want love in your life, love someone. If you want money, give some money away. If you want joy in your life, give joy to someone else.

The universe only responds when we act. Take the first step and watch miracles begin to happen. Too often we're waiting for something to come to us first. Take the initiative. Give and you WILL receive.

Attitude is a key factor

This is a reprint of the present time sensitve tips by Michael J. Berthelot, CEO of Cito Capital Corp. and a speaker on corporate governance issues that as businss owners and CEO's we should adhere to.

Here are the tips to how you should position your attidute to maximize your health for life:

1.) Lead By Example
-- This is not the time to buy a flashy new car or talk about an upcoming Caribbean vacation. Recognize the difficulty that everyone finds themselves in and understand that your employees are looking to you for leadership and direction. Stay focused on what you can control and do what you do best. Avoid distractions and time and emotion-wasting activities.

2.) Keep a Positive Attitude
-- Doom and gloom at the top is quickly noticed and spreads through your employees like a disease. Stay focused on the long term and have confidence in your and their ability to do what you do best. Don’t let the weight of unrelated situations, such as the stock market and politics, depress your outlook.

3.) Recognize Success
-- Be vigilant in identifying successes by employees and celebrate them. Pizza and beer never tasted so good as when celebrating one new client, product, or accomplishment when times are tough.

4.) Share the Pain
-- When cuts in salary, benefits, or hours become necessary, your employees will be watching to see if you walk the walk of sharing the pain. Take a bigger piece of the downside. As they say in the infantry, officers eat last.

5.) Keep it Real
-- Don’t wear rose-colored glasses and spew mindless happy talk, but don’t be a Cassandra either. Be realistic and focus on facts, not hyperbole, rumor, or the latest pundit’s opinion. Remember that the people on TV are entertainers first and informed journalists second (if ever). They really don’t know any more than you do. Keep yourself and your people focused on the facts as you see them.

6.) Set Goals
-- Don’t allow the uncertainty of the general situation to impact your desire and ability to set and strive to achieve realistic goals. The goals may be different or not quite the stretch goals of the past, but without goals your team is drifting without direction. That is never a good situation and can be disastrous in tough times.

7.) Invest in the Future
-- Tough times present opportunities to invest in your business and people. Use down time for training, learning, and researching the things you couldn’t when you were swamped with work. Plan to exit the bad times with a stronger and well-prepared group of people. Your employees will be more confident in their future if they know that you are investing in it.

8.) Take Care of Yourself
-- Stress kills. Take care of yourself physically, mentally and emotionally. Keep yourself physically fit, exercise, and watch your diet and alcohol intake. You can’t help others if you can’t help yourself first. Encourage your employees to do the same.

9.) Be Thankful
-- Times may be tough, but this is still the best country in the world to live in and to weather the storm. Your family still loves you and so does your dog. Be appreciative of what you have rather than dwelling on what has been lost. Say thank you to your employees for their dedication, loyalty, and sacrifice. They will appreciate it.

10.) Have Some Fun
-- Keep the fun in the business. No need for a trip to Las Vegas, but an outing to a ball game, a mid-afternoon movie break, or an afternoon of beach or golf time will keep the memory of the good times alive. Laugh a lot and enjoy the little victories that life brings you.

Why is Gluathione So Important?

Glutathione is the most abundant amino acid found in skeletal muscle. Glutathione's three major roles in the body are summarized by the letters A-B-C.

1. Anti-oxidant 
2. Blood Booster 
3. Cell Detoxifier

It is believed that glutathione has an important role to play in the treatment and prevention of hundreds of diseases, It may in the future be considered as important to health as a well-rounded diet, exercise and good lifestyle. Clinical tests show that raised glutathione levels may address some of the major health issues of our time - heart disease, stroke, diabetes, high cholesterol, asthma, cigarette smoking, hepatitis, AIDS and more. Glutathione provides the body with tools to fight off these threats naturally.

In fact, your life depends on glutathione. Without it, your cells would disintegrate from unrestrained oxidation, your body would have little resistance to metabolic acids, and your liver would shrivel up from the eventual accumulation of acidic toxins.

Each and every cell in the body is responsible for its own supply of glutathione and must have the necessary raw materials in order to produce it. Glutathione is always in great demand and is rapidly consumed when we experience any sort of emotional or physical stress, fatigue and even moderate exercise.

Some well-known causes of glutathione depletion are as follows:

1. Acidic lifestyle and diet 
2. Air and Water pollution 
3. Prescription and recreational drugs 
4. Ultraviolet and Radiation from cells phones, computers, electrical cars, power lines, hair dryers, etc. 
5. Emotional and physical stress5 
6. Injury, trauma or burns 
7. Heavy metals 
8. Cigarette smoke 
9. Household chemicals 
10. Acetaminophen poisoning 
11. Exhaust from motor vehicles 
12. Septic shock

Glutathione Benefits

Immune System

Immune Depressed individuals have lower GSH levels when fighting disease. Your body's immune activity, involving unimpeded multiplication of lymphocytes and antibody production, requires maintenance of normal levels of glutathione inside the lymphocytes. Cellular depletion of Glutathione has been implicated as a causative or contributory factor in many pathologies including Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, cataracts, arteriosclerosis, cystic fibrosis, malnutrition, aging, AIDS and cancer.

Cancer

GSH plays a role in eliminating many carcinogens as well as maintaining immune function towards providing stronger anti-tumour defences.

Glutathione deficiencies have been linked to many forms of cancer.

1. Prevents cancerous tissue 
2. Suppresses tumor growth 
3. Eliminates carcinogen - acids 
4. Retards oxidative stress 
5. Prevents wasting disease 
6. Eases side effects of chemotherapy and radiotherapy

Aging Process

Glutathione is critically important to our brain as it is one of the most important brain antioxidants. Glutathione helps preserve brain tissue by preventing damage from free radicals (acids). Lower Glutathione levels are implicated in many diseases associated with aging, including Cataracts, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's, arteriosclerosis and others.

Athletes

Strong muscular activity generates oxyradicals leading to muscle fatigue and poorer performance. GSH neutralizes these radicals.

Digestive

Glutathione protects the body from the inflammation of gastritis, stomach ulcers, pancreatitis and inflammatory bowel disease including ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease.

Antioxidant Functions

Glutathione plays a central protective role against the damaging effects of bacteria, viruses and free radicals.

Neurological Disease

Low GSH has been demonstrated in neurodegenerative diseases such as MS (Multiple Sclerosis), ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease), Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's disease.

Toxins, Pollution, Radiation

Glutathione detoxifies a variety of pollutants, carcinogens and poisons, including many found in fuel exhaust and cigarette smoke. It also retards damage from radiation exposure due to the eroding ozone layer.

Anti-viral for AIDS, hepatitis, herpes

Low glutathione levels in HIV patients may contribute to their immune deficiency since glutathione plays an important role in the function of lymphocytes. Some lymphocytes require adequate levels of glutathione in order to function normally, and HIV induces oxidative stress that depletes the cells of glutathione.

"Glutathione is the body's master antioxidant and best kept secret to maintaining health."
