The Guru Drinks the Blood from a Deer Antler and Realizes He Needs to Recycle His Wants.

The Health Guru / eCureMe LIFE
It is spring cleaning time my people. I see you out there getting ready
to finally take down the Christmas stockings and pumpkins. You’re
cleaning out there closets and getting rid of all the things you don’t
need anymore. But there are some people, the wise ones, who know that in
order to truly be happy again, you must feel the pain of loss by getting
rid of the things and thoughts and addictions you love.
Let me digress for a moment, buy you know it’s coming back for you
in a bit.
Now, your Guru has had some problems with his scalp lately. Seems that all
of the stress and worry in life has gotten to the point where I was
literally scratching my head so much that I had developed some problems
with my skin up there.
Sorry to get real here on you folks, but as ODB said, "I keep*%#! In
my drawls to keep it funky for ya."
If you’ve been following the chronicles at all lately, you will
know that I have been working for offices and scrambling for the dollar
so that I can have some time for creation this summer. Hey, we all need
to go for the srcilla, but doing it breaks everyone down eventually.
Well, your Guru was breaking out with some infection in my head and
I needed a treatment that wasn’t going to pilfer my pockets.
With all of the recent mishaps with medicine and FDA recalls, I’ve
been moving away from traditional medicines.
I went down to Dr. Ohm’s clinic in Korea town on the corner of 6th
and Alexandria in between two jobs. This is the place where the Guru got
his first taste of acupuncture. It is here that they also have an all
natural array of herbs and roots arranged like a giant file cabinet with
many wood drawers that take up the back space of the wall. Their
specialty is Antlers. Yes my friends, like Bambi’s dome piece.
They use the blood inside the antlers to help power up your immune
system and give you strength. It is a natural resistant against stress
and a strengthener of the immune system. It also helps brings down blood
pressure, stimulates cell re-growth in hair follicles, and is thought to
slow down the effects of aging. The practice comes from the East (not
Brooklyn, son) and has been in use for over 2000 years.
The roots lay in China during the Han dynasty. Since that time, there
are well over 50 diseases and infections that it can stave of. Now, your
Guru went down to Dr. Ohm and got his Velvet Deer Liquid Blood pouches to
drink and put on his head, but just before I was about to leave, the
doctor stopped me and sat me down.
Didn’t she know I was an American and was used to picking up the
prescription and popping the pill in hopes that I would feel some pain
relief? She sat down with me and handed me a checklist of things I
couldn’t do 1. No chicken. 2. No Coffee. 3. No Smoking 4. No
Fried Foods. 5. No Alcohol. Apparently all of those things dehydrate
your skin and keep any type of regeneration from occurring.
In order for organic and natural medicines to work, you need to follow
an entire change in lifestyle. It is an adaptation that you body must
go through. The negative things that you do and put into yourself are
often times the things that are helping your body get better. If all
you do is take the medicine but keep up with your unhealthy lifestyle,
you will receive and addiction rather than a cure.
With the millions of dollars that goes into western medicine, perhaps
that is exactly what they want to happen.
If your Guru sounds a bit serious this time, it may have something to
do with the fact that I’m not drinking coffee but am consuming
copious amounts of Deer Antler blood.
The interesting thing was that I had to change around and get rid of the
things that I considered staples in my life. Coffee in the morning is
ritual. I had to deal with headaches for days, but after that passed,
I found more time and different teas.
As for Chicken, well, your Guru loves his bird, so this was a tough one
to give up. I eat the bird every night, so now my taste buds had to
crave anew taste. It was a rebirth of one of my senses that had been
idle and locked in monotony. While I lost my lean white meat, I gained
a knowledge of new tastes and things started to open up for me. It was
like that without the alcohol as well. Now, once I’m finished
with the treatment I am going to go back to these things, but perhaps a
little more moderation will be used.
Point here is that if you give something up, you are only opening up
opportunities to experience something new. The pain of loss is often the
thing that helps us grow. Many artists believe that their best work can
only be done once they destroy the thing that they love the most.
Is there nothing scared out there? Better yet, is it dangerous to
believe that there is?
By doing so, your mind is free and liberated to explore new ways of
processing informing, which will lead to easy decision making and perhaps
a less stressful life. Americans seem to feed off making money and
creating new opportunities. If we are to accept that as our culture,
we need to go about it in a healthier, more organic way. If we are a
society of consumers and spenders, we need to develop a lifestyle that
goes with that.
Why fight nature? There is no way to win.
"Uh, I think the Guru has been sipping on too much Antler."
The things that mattered so much are no longer clutched as tightly.
Mentally, you are loosening your grip. The physical will follow that
and leave you in a place where you are flexible. You need to be, because
life changes quickly and is never what you thought it was going to be.
Adjustments are the key to happiness or will at least set you in the
direction you need to go.
If you carry all of your belongings, both mental and physical, with you
for your life, it will be impossible to pick things up along the way.
Remember, just because you leave something doesn’t mean that it
won’t come back to you at some point in your life.
The earth is, after all round.
So should your grip be.
Peace.
H.G.
