GFP: We've been informed this may just be a rumor, and we can't find much to back up the claim about pineapple juice working better than cough syrup. However, Bromelain does appear to have some medicinal properties.

Did you know that pineapple juice is 500% more effective at helping you to stop coughing than  cough syrup is? Well, it’s true, and it’s all on account of the fact that fresh pineapples contain a substance known as Bromelain; a specific type of enzyme that has anti-inflammatory characteristics which can combat infections and eradicate bacteria.

Half your daily dose of vitamin C

One glass pineapple juice also contains nearly half the amount of vitamin C that you require per day. Vitamin C is essential because as well as many other uses, it also enables your body to metabolize certain vital enzymes that regulate your metabolism and manage energy.

A great source of manganese

But it may have proven more…

A social media April Fool’s prank spearheaded by NPR in 2014 is – ironically – drawing some reflection. This isn’t one of those frustrating social media psychology tests without the users’ knowledge. It appears to have been a lighthearted joke and a thank you to readers.

NPR posed a question with a link:

Why Doesn’t America Read Anymore?

According to writer Jay Hathaway, commenters squawked:

We totally do, NPR. Shut up. We read all the time. We’re reading your article right now!

Which only proved that they didn’t.

Had they actually gone to the link on the NPR website they wouldn’t have seen a story, but would have seen this message:

Bad news for bacon lovers: Eating processed meats — including bacon, sausages, and hot dogs — can increase your risk of colon cancer, according to a report issued today by the World Health Organization (WHO).

A team of 22 health experts from 10 countries reviewed 800 studies on the disease in humans and concluded that, when eaten daily, each 50 grams (gm) of processed meat (the equivalent of about two slices of ham or sausage) increases the risk of colon cancer by 18 percent. WHO also noted that eating red meat, such as beef, pork, and lamb, can cause colon, prostate, or pancreatic cancer.

To live a fulfilling and meaningful life, without which life is meaningless, we have to inhabit more and more our heart of hearts — our deep hearts, the center of our inner knowingness. We can tap into this knowingness if we are sensitive and can deeply feel ourselves. It is informed by our minds, yet often has a different message for us than what we think we know.

This knowingness in our heart of hearts can share with us right from wrong. This means that we are organically and inescapably accountable for what presents to us in our heart of hearts — a morality of the heart if you will.

Therefore, to live a robust, more meaningful life with less suffering, we must live deeply in our hearts. This depth, for example, is the intimacy and reckoning we experience in the dark, in the silence, deeply feeling and sensitively paying attention to what our deep body shares with our inner attention and listening. This information is largely about our personal truth, our subjective experience and path in life.

Dear Ones, let your LOVEliness lead the way. It is far too wonderful to place anywhere but the forefront. ~Archangel Gabriel

What are you doing right now?  Are you spending most of your time sitting and looking at your phone or computer?  The current way of your Earth-plane existence has set you up to be a passive observer of life.  Today, you are being invited to participate; get out into your world, look around, see what you can see and experience things first hand.  The marvelous brain you were gifted has the ability to store the sights, sounds, tastes and feelings of your involvement in a way that you can access any time you choose.  At the end of your time on Earth, what would you rather say? “Oh, I saw that once” or “That was one of the best moments I ever experienced”.  The choice has always been yours, my love!  Choose wisely. ~ Creator

At one time or another we all need a break from the outside world, a place we can visit to quiet our minds, to renew our energy, and a place where we can commune with the heavens and our soul. Some prefer to go on a vacation or on a retreat; some prefer to go to a sacred location like a church, cathedral, synagogue or temple, or even the pyramids!

When I am feeling tense, disconnected, or when I need to meditate, I don’t need to always go to a location that’s far away, I can go to my own sacred space located right in my home, which is dedicated to my spiritual work. If you are lucky enough to have a whole room, that’s great, but if not, is there a corner or certain area within a room that you can dedicate to being your “sacred space?”
