Taylor’s understanding of a human being is that we are
50 trillion cells functioning in purposeful harmony. The two hemispheres of our brain are yoked opposites: limit-setting rationality (time, judgment, ego) in perpetual interplay with the eternal and unbounded now. Together and only together, do these two halves of our awareness make our human destiny…..” – Dr J B Taylor web site

Subject: Airing on Oprah on Oct 21st!
Hello Friends,

This morning I heard Taylor, a brain specialist, being interviewed on the BBC Radio’s Outlook program. I found it fascinating and shocking, Taylor’s experience of having had a stroke when 37 year old, resulting in loosing the use of her left brain and having the brain capacity of a baby – it took Taylor over a year or was it 4 – to understand that 1 + 1 is 2!
Taylor’s experience taught her that, “…deep internal peace is accessible to anyone at any time…..My stroke of insight would be: Peace is only a thought away and all we have to do to access it is silence the voice of our dominating left mind…”
You can listen to the interview on BBC Radio’s Website – Outlook program
Look for:

Please keep an eye on my web-site at drjilltaylor.com or on the Oprah.com web-site for the new air date.

Hello friends, My Stroke of Insight is being translated into 20 different
languages and I am currently scheduled to be on Oprah on Sept 23rd. I taped last Thursday with Oprah and Dr. Oz and I brought beautiful brains for show and tell!
Life is a blessing.

●“GLOBALITY” – THE WEST COULD LEARN A THING OR TWO FROM NEW BUSINESS IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES!
– competing with everyone for everything everywhere -
Peter Day of BBC radio 4, interviews, Arindam Bhattacharya, author of the book, “Globality” – the West’s big businesses had a learning curve to go through but Bhattacharya says the developing world won’t have to go through it, in fact the West can learn from them.

The age old issue, freedom of expression and speech, raises it’s ugly head again!
I have just read WordPress’ announcement re Brazil and the possibility of them being shut down.
Here is a link to a site which says it legally jumps in to protect online freedom of speech, among other things
Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) they, “…continue to fight for the right to free speech. Our latest campaign revolves around the legal rights of bloggers and citizen journalists…”
Download A Blue Ribbon Onto Your Blog [PNG & animated GIF]
They ask that we bloggers, “ …Display the Blue Ribbon, to support the essential human right of free speech, a fundamental building block of free society, affirmed by the U.S. Bill of Rights in 1791 and by the U.N. Declaration of Human Rights in 1948….”
“….When our freedoms in the networked world come under attack, the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) is the first line of defence…….and continues to confront cutting-edge issues defending free speech, privacy, innovation and consumer rights today. From the beginning, EFF has championed the public interest in every critical battle affecting digital rights….”

BICARBONATE OF SODA [NaHCO3] SODIUM BICARBONATE
Marvellous, unpleasant tasting stuff!
It must be food quality – you can buy it in the baking section of any super market
It’s very alkaline so the microbes that cause the pong can’t live and multiply in it!
At least that’s what I’ve worked out
It’s a very effective deodorant – not as a sweat stopper!
Make it into a paste with a drop of water and apply to arm pits – shaving brush works very well – It does/can make a white mark on your clothes but it washes out
Toothpaste – put a decent amount on your tooth brush – it tastes awful – very salty? But remember it’s non toxic and cheap as chips! [much much cheaper – potatoes are very expensive here]
I think I picked this information up from Dr Hulda Clark – she’s the big expert on what toxic substances we surround ourselves with: thinners, paint, floor sealers carpets, benzene, cleaning chemicals, glues on and on and on, in her book called, How To Cure All Diseases, she is seen to be a tad on the extreme side and the pharmaceutical industry and food companies hate her as she keeps exposing the toxic chemicals that are in our foods and says we can cure ourselves of anything if we take basic steps [see her site] which means you don’t need to buy conventional medicines. She’s into de-parasiting ourselves in a big way! She says that parasites that would normally pass through us are now stopping off as we are such a great environment to live in! We just need to take the non toxic, ground up herbs that flush them out!
Here’s a couple of links of toxic lists found on her site to depress you futher!
The 5 Immunity Destroyers
Clean up your Home
• Freon (refrigerator, air conditioner)
• Fiberglass (drapes, open insulation)
• Formaldehyde (foam bedding, new clothing, newspapers)
• Vanadium (gasoline, leaking fuel, automotive exhaust)
• Asbestos (gym belts, dryer belts, hair blowers)
• Arsenic (pesticide used indoors, wallpaper)
• Beryllium (outside air pollutant)
• Strontium (outside air pollutant, water, corn, honey)
• Chlorine
• Tobacco smoke

Does it damage our central nervous system, liver and kidneys? Are women’s cosmetics contaminated with it? I would like more research to be done in analysing the products we put into and onto our bodies and all chemicals clearly displayed on all products we use and eat in large fonts so we can read it! 
I started looking for information on Wikipedia – It mentions that the ethoxylation process ‘might’ be contaminating “…deodorants, shampoos, toothpastes and mouth washes….the chemical is also used as a foaming agent and appears as an accidental by-product of the ethoxylation process in cosmetics manufacturing. It may contaminate cosmetics and personal care products such as deodorants, shampoos, toothpastes and mouthwashes…..It is suspected of causing damage to the central nervous system, liver and kidneys…”
Wikipedia [+ image] - The offending molecule 1,4-Dioxane 1,4-Dioxacyclohexane– isn’t it graphic! They have such wonderfully seductive sounding names these toxic chemicals!
I’m always suspicious when the words, “may” and “possibly” are used – no one wants to take on the multinational multi billion dollar pharmaceutical and cosmetic industry! Its up to us to check out the information – if one can get hold of it! And this is why we need to insist that all the chemical contents are clearly marked on all products – being mindful of packaging of course!
Just in case you don’t go to the comments page…..
An expert on the subject, Stachy Malkan the author of, “Not Just a Pretty Face: The Ugly Side of the Beauty Industry” has left a comment which is really shocking. Here is an extract….
“…Recent product tests found 1,4 dioxane in nearly half of 100 personal care products labeled “natural” or “organic.” According to these tests, nearly all products that use the ethoxylation process (in which highly toxic ethylene oxide is added to chemicals such as sodium laurel sulfate or PEG compounds to supposedly make them more gentle) are contaminated with 1,4 dioxane….”
[to get to the comment click on the title]
ANYA blog has various posts on ethyleneoxide
eg. Dr. Bronner’s Magic Soaps Sues Estee Lauder and Others Over “Organic Cheater” Labeling[many thanks anya, for contacting me with your blogs link]

Numbering Systems & Place Values
If you love numbers you’ll love this site
created by John Knoderer [webmaster(at)Mazes.com]
Millions, billions, trillions, gazillions?
A million was quite a number not so long ago but now it seems so tame!
Zimbabwe has a 7,000% inflation rate!
China’s daily consumption of plastic bags = 3 billion +
Their population is 6 billion + [6,000,000,000,000,]
China’s supermarkets consume 1 billion + plastic bags a DAY!
“….Supermarkets give out 1bn [billion]plastic bags every day, while shops and restaurants use double that amount. Plastic packaging accounts for an estimated 5m [million] tonnes of crude oil each year…..” Jonathan Watts The guardian
South Africa banned plastic bags being given out for free 5 years ago this month – Not many if any countries have done so to date – I stand to be corrected
How much does our individual consumption of plastic bags effect the environment?
South Africa also banned smoking in public places with virtually no fuss at all in 1999! And recently in restaurants and pubs
I do feel sorry for those lonely souls standing on the streets outside their office buildings puffing away in all weathers
It’s really hard to give up
[I gave up over 20? yrs ago and i was smoking at least 30 a day]
non smokers were so tolerant in those days
