I had wondered about this for years:
"When organs are transplanted, memories, personalities, preferences, and skills (including what happened at the donors moment of death) have been repeatedly observed to transfer from the donor to recipient in a manner that strongly suggests a real transference is occurring—raising significant questions as to where our consciousness or memories comes from and who we actually are, along with the ethics of sourcing organs from non-consenting donors."

As a Traditional Naturopath regulated under Minnesota Statute 146A with over a quarter century of experience, and Chair of the Integrative Health and Healing Advisory Board at Anoka-Ramsey Community College, I am deeply concerned about SF1131/1717 (these views do not represent the college or the board).

One of the strongest protections for consumers under 146A is the Client Bill of Rights — a legal requirement that every practitioner must clearly disclose their exact training and education so clients know precisely what they are receiving.

This bill removes that requirement and replaces it with a generic state registration.

With over 35 different styles of massage and bodywork — many of which incorporate Reiki, energy healing, aromatherapy, and other 146A modalities — this loss of transparency directly harms informed consumer choice.

The Judiciary & Public Safety Committee hears the bill this Wednesday, April 8, and public testimony has been denied.

If you value transparency and consumer protection in holistic care, please take a moment to email or call the senators on the committee. A simple message can make a difference.

Full post and senator contacts are in the OP.

Thank you for standing with us.

One of the best protections we have under 146A is the . It requires every practitioner, including massage practitioners, to clearly tell clients exactly what training and education they have — real transparency.

SF 1131/1717 would take that away and replace it with a generic state registration. Clients would lose the ability to know what kind of training their practitioner actually received.

With over 35 different styles of massage and many practitioners also offering Reiki, energy work, aromatherapy, and other 146A modalities, this hurts the public’s right to know.

The Judiciary Committee hears the bill this Wednesday, April 8 — and they’re not allowing public testimony.

Please take a moment today or tomorrow to email and call the senators (https://www.senate.mn/committees/committee_bio.html?cmte_id=3128). Your voice still counts!

Protect the Client Bill of Rights. Protect 146A.

Insightful article:
"But it also means that we should be cautious about turning estrangement into a cultural trend or moral badge. The breaking of family bonds is rarely a victory. It is usually a tragedy.

Healthy societies depend on intergenerational relationships. It is in families that values are passed down, wisdom is shared, and people learn how to navigate life’s inevitable conflicts. When those bonds fracture, everyone loses something."

This! What energy, space, and consciousness are YOU generating into the world.

Have you been tricked, doped, misled into projecting everything you don't want in the world? So many over the last decade, I've seen switch from being generators of love... To generators of pure hate.

What does this do to your cells? Think Emoto's water experiments. We are mostly water. This reflects back into spirit.

🌲 The Science-Backed Power of Nature: How Time in Forests May Support Immune Health & Cancer Defense

Did you know that spending time among trees isn't just relaxing—it's potentially boosting your body's natural defenses at a cellular level?

Research led by Dr. Qing Li (Nippon Medical School, Japan) has shown that "forest bathing" (shinrin-yoku) — simply being in a forested environment — can significantly increase the activity of natural killer (NK) cells, a key part of our immune system that targets virus-infected cells and tumor cells.

Key findings from peer-reviewed studies (2007–2009):

• Exposure to phytoncides (natural antimicrobial compounds released by trees like pine and cypress) raised NK cell activity by up to ~50% in small controlled groups.

• This boost persisted for 7–30 days after exposure — far longer than simple relaxation.

• Controlled experiments confirmed the effect: city walks showed no immune enhancement, while inhaling vaporized tree essential oils in urban settings replicated the NK cell activation.

Even more intriguing: A 2008 analysis across all Japanese prefectures found that higher forest coverage correlated with lower standardized mortality ratios for several cancers (e.g., lung, breast, prostate, colon), even after adjusting for smoking and socioeconomic factors.

While larger-scale trials are still needed to establish direct causality, these studies highlight how nature exposure may offer meaningful, accessible support for immune resilience and overall well-being.

In our high-stress, screen-heavy world, a walk in the woods might be one of the simplest, most evidence-informed ways to invest in long-term health.

Have you experienced the restorative effects of time in nature? I'd love to hear your thoughts below.

This information/data is HUGE - and a fairly big shift from about a decade ago.

We’ve lacked poll that addresses curiosities everyone has over medical issues. Health Freedom Defense Fund and Brownstone Institute initiated poll.
