Researchers at the University of South Carolina, including James Hebert, ScD, and Philip Cavicchia, PhD, scored foods and food components thought to positively or negatively affect levels of inflammation, based on a review of peer-reviewed studies relating to diet and inflammation that were published between 1950 and 2007. Since then, new research is bringing the index closer to “prime time”–ready to be used in epidemiological and clinical studies.

While each plan has its own twist, all are based on the general concept that constant or out-of-control inflammation in the body leads to ill health, and that eating to avoid constant inflammation promotes better health and can ward off disease, says Russell Greenfield, MD, a clinical assistant professor of medicine at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

“It’s very clear that inflammation plays a role much more than we thought with respect to certain maladies,” Greenfield stated.

These are exhilarating times to be alive! The controlling system that has limited humanity for so long is beginning to die. The signs are all around, while the powers-that-be struggle to cobble it all together. We need to now begin to shed the skin of the old reality in order to emerge fully into the New Paradigm.

But this is not about fighting the old. There’s no need. We simply have to live the New Paradigm here and now, develop new ways of living and being, then the old system will simply crumble away.

What practical steps can people take to accelerate the shift?

by Andrea Schulman| Holding on to control is a habit many of us have that causes unnecessary anxiety and distress.  When we attempt to control events and circumstances, we spiritually dissociate ourselves from the natural flow of the universe.  As a result, we run into more problems and create more chaos in our lives.

Holding on to control causes problems because we simply aren’t able to control everything!  It would be impossible to do everything we have to do in life and also be in charge of things like the weather, traffic and other people’s thoughts and actions.  There simply aren’t enough hours in the day.

Trying to control the uncontrollable only sets us up for failure, coupled with frustration.

In contrast, when we let go of control and “go with the flow,” life unfolds naturally and seamlessly.  Be giving up control, we create more harmony in our own lives.  We allow the universe to handle the details, while we release ourselves from unnecessary (and unachievable!) responsibilities.

So, if you’d like to get back into the flow of the universe, here are few ideas on how to let go of control. Try them out the next time you feel yourself holding on a little too tight! 

Everyone who I have ever talked to or who I attract along my walk (including me), has had a period in their lives where they have felt like the odd wo-man out. Maybe that moment for you is now. You feel like the black sheep, like you are strange or bizarre. There is a loneliness that sets deep within you sometimes to where you can feel it to the core of your being. This feeling of loneliness and isolation is an indicator. Everything in the universe works like a pendulum, hence the in and out breath, the structure of DNA, the turning of our planet and even molecular particle waves. When you feel this type of sadness or loneliness, it is an inherent need for all of us on the planet to feel loved and like we have contributed in someway to the progression of consciousness and our species. When you feel alienated by the people who surround you, your root chakra, the reason you have a physical body, urges you to shift who you truly are, to fit into those surroundings.

BUT there is a reason for this feeling, it is the yin and reserved inward implosion feeling to it’s opposite ecstatic and electric expansion feeling of who you really are and what you have to bring to this planet. Do you feel like you would be able to be truly fully you with ease if you knew you would accepted?

If you’ve ever experienced moments of deja vu, prophetic dreams, or extremely powerful moments of intuition, understanding your ‘glimpses into the future’ or ‘memories from the past’ may be somewhat perplexing. For those who are not spiritually inclined, the general opinion may be that these experiences are just part of the random chaos of the universe, but for others on the more spiritual side of the spectrum, the school of thought may be that out of this “chaos” there is order. But, what if (beyond opinion) science could prove the validity of the prophetic state, and we could have data to back up just why we receive these messages that seem to be beyond ourselves?
