Good luck Ben and Bill in your new jobs on the west coast. I've been missing sleep for work also, I'm just about finished my Quantum Neuro Physiology Paper. Next I'd like to expand it to a book. The rap album version will be online in about 2 weeks. Peace...

Hello all,
I haven't been on here for awhile, nor have a spoken with anyone for some time. I am glad to hear that your are doing well with your new organic foods business Ben. I have been trying to read many of these posts while at work on free time, and I must say, excellent writings. Joe, I can't wait to hear the rap album. Will the family be down in S.C. for Christmas? This place gets lonier and lonier. But someone has to keep the State College Degicank office open right? Let me know if anyone needs any artwork for websites, album covers, or otherwise. We've got our office running rather efficiently these days. Check out the new TDS website at "http://www.thedailysupplement.com"
Peace be with y'all!
Chris

Everyone,
Garlic as an effective remedy for the "bird" flu. Not the first time a wide spread disease can be helped with garlic. Early 1900's respiratory flu effecting millions of Russians cured with 15 million tons of garlic. Word has it from one of the best hebalists on the planet that garlic is effective in combating the "bird" flu.
I'll post the specific form it needs to be in when we get the update from above mentioned herbalist. It will either be made into an oil or taken crushed in a specific manner.
Ben

Old fashioned healing, A New Account
Late January 2006 Herniated Disc L2-3
For those of you who don't know I have been nursing a herniated disc in my lower spine for about a year. It has been rough with constant pain which initially was blinding. The doctor said my nerve root was so severely pressured by the faulty disc that the pain I was experiencing was camparable to a gun shot wound or amputation. I as usual tried several different approaches: a chiroprator, yoga, pilates, herbs, hot springs, spiritual healing, etc. I was able to get the pain level down so I could function but occasionally and randomly it would flare leaving me standing say in the grocery store not able to move, sweating through the pain.
I consulted my spiritual teacher and advisor Shayk Sidi Muhammad al-Jamal. He said it was being caused by some trauma held in the family line. I followed his advise and did some practices and remedies but it wasn't until my grandfather came to visit this week when things broke through.
My grandfather on my Mother's side had left my Mom when she was three only to re-emerge at various points decades later. Randomly he would show up at our front door in the middle of summer. He has a very frank nature and with my mother's life stuggles he wouldn't be very gently spoken. My Mom would generally put up with it for a week and then kick him out of the house. My Mom would then tell my brother and I of all the bad things he did, etc. I was obviously nervous when he called and said he had already booked a ticket to come and visit me and my family here in the East Bay for a week.
Last night however I learned about his attempts to reconcile his connection with my Mother to no avail blocked by his ex-wife (my grandmother). My grandmother in turn because of the pain of divorce told my mother what a horrible person he was. My Mom came down with a herniated disc when she was 40.
The stories my Mom told my brother and I about my grandfather lit a fire in out hearts about this man. My brother and I both came down with herniated discs in our late twenties. I made it my intention to face whatever it was I needed to face in order to heal from the back disorder a few months ago.
My grandfather during his weeklong visit had been very frank as usual but every night I would stay up late and pray for healing for him and I. Like I said yesterday night he explained his side of the story and to my suprise there had been a huge misunderstanding. He told me about his attempts to visit my mother only to be blocked by his ex-wife. When my grandmother remarried it sealed the deal of him never being able to contact his daughter. My Mom never knew this and held the deep resentment to her grave. My brother and I held the same resentment. After hearing his story however I found reconciliation in my heart for him. Along with this reconciliation I experienced a light feeling in my back as if a weight had been lifted. Today I am moving with greater ease than ever before and it seems that the physical injury is healing.
Funny how my brother who still holds the resentment still has the pain in his back. It seems that this resentment has caused the injury in my mother, myself, and my brother. I feel elated and sad at the same time. Sad that my mother and my grandfather never touched on the subject, if only she had known he had tried to be there for her. I am going to talk to my brother about it. I'll keep you posted on the status of his injury and mine. It seems to be another incredible account in healing. Another account of non-physical happenings effecting the physical body.
Hope all is well. Peace,
Ben

Ben I've been in horrible shape with that for years, I met a guy on Sat who took morphine for it and could only be on his feet a few hours a day. I find when i am least active is when i have a flare up. In August i was hit hard, laying on the floor, 2 weeks ago it hit me again but I'm ok now. I don't know how to begin paying off the gods for my irresponsible dad and mom. I used to be slightly resentful towards my mom, but after having a baby I think my dad was the problem, It is the greatest sin of the weakest man to leave his child, no matter how crazy the wife is. I started bringing up this touchy subject with my dad a few weeks ago but we moved on to other subjects without resolution, this was just a few days before my back pain, L-1 in my case, hit me again. Allah explains it again. Praise Jah as I say, equivilant to Allahu Akbar.

Joe- Having a herniated disc has been one of the most difficult things I have gone through. I didn't know you have had the same problem. Here are the remedies my guide Shaykh Muhammad al-Jamal gave for the condition:
1) His mint old blend that has been blessed on the actual rock in the Dome of the Rock or Temple Mount as some call it. Jacob's latter was located there, Jesus sought cover under it on his journey through the desert, and Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, ascended to and returned from heavens on the fambous Mir'aj or the night journey.
You apply the mint oil in the morning and in the evening (about 20 drops or more). I was able to stop taking all pain medication using this. Sidi told me it pulls the fire out of the back.
2) In a private meeting with Shaykh Sidi Muhammad he told me a story about meeting with the Prophet Abraham. He said Abraham in his time used to treat this condition with this mixture: 3 egg whites 3 tablespoons organic wheat flour 3 tablespoons of soap made from olive oil (avail at whole foods, natural grocery stores)
You mix the whole lot together and spread it evenly over a patch of cotton cloth about 12in. x 12in. Once this is done you lay stomach down on the ground and have someone place the patch on the affected area. The person then gently rubs their hands over the patch helping it to stick for about 10 minutes. You then continue to lay on the ground for another half hour until it dries enough for you to get up and into bed for the night. You sleep shirtless and on your side being careful not to disturb the still wet patch. When you wake in the morning the patch is very solid. You keep it on until it falls off on its own (1 week to a month). Small areas will pull off and you can cut them to reduce the rough undersurface's irritating rubbing.
Sidi told me that this remedy causes the discs to desintigrate and, "it will leave it even better than when you were a young man". You may have to do it several times.
The mint oil is a temporary fix but the back patch does away with the herniated disc itself.
When trying to do it from the perspective of actually finding the inner wound that is causing the problem it is useful to give a decent amount of charity with pure intentions for peace and love. In general you have to give to receive.
I gave $500 in charity to help homeless children just for its own sake just before the series of events lead to the source of the problem.
Just before my long illness resolved I was able to give charity in the form of establishing a protest in the name of peace.
When you want to receive it is good to give. Trying to do detective work on a condition to find its source can prove to be difficult and take years. I think it is a better idea to give the charity. When you do give the charity Allah will give you what your deep heart is asking for.
Assalaam alaikum rahmatu'llah,
Ben
P.S. The mint oil can be purchased for the Shadhiliyya Sufi Center for about $85 bucks. I tried to make a version of it from what I could smell in it. It works but not as well: 1 cup olive oil about 100 drops of spearmint about 50 drops of peppermint

Thanks Ben, Bill and I have been fascinated with the ladder to heaven for some time. What about when they put the staff in the box(timemachine) and leaves grew from it?

Joe- I don't know the story about the staff.
The actual rock (where Jacob's ladder is) under the Dome of the Rock or Temple Mount is widely known as the place on earth that is closest to the heavens. Which is why Jacob saw the angels ascending and descending from that place. It is also the reason why the Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessigns be upon him, travelled to that place first before ascending through the heavens. It is also the location where, when the order comes, the archangel Isra'fil will descend and blow the trumpet call beginning the Day of Judgement. The first horn blow will be heard by the people first as a distant sound then it will grow gradually to deafening. The sound will annihilate everything. The entire scroll of existance will be rolled up and nothing will be excepting a few things (the throne, the archangels, the inconsious souls, etc.). There will then be a second trumpet call which will cause each soul to rise again.
My guide Sidi has a small office just outside the doors of the Dome of the Rock. You can see it in pictures, its a little building with a tiny dome on top. He lives and holds a spiritual retreat center on the mount of olives.
As far as the geographical significance of the Ka'ba (the house in Mecca) it is said that it is directly under the throne of God in the highest heaven. The angels constantly circle the throne in the heavens just as the people circle it on the earth. It will be the only place on earth where the Dajjal or anti-christ will not be able to enter. It says in the Hadith of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, that angels will block his entry and he will set up camp outside of the grounds.
Peace,
Ben

I wonder if my lower back pains could be caused by any of the things you or my brother have mentioned about. I am doubtful, but anything is possible. I beleive they are caused by some other factors. I have been told by practioner's of american medicine that back pain is all in your head, and that the spinal system is one of the most well designed systems of the body. They also told me that I already have signs of arthritus in my back (26 years old). I believe the problems are mainly caused by enviromentals such as hard labor, injury, sitting / sleeping / resting habits and also by bad and evil spirits.
I beleive the biggest causes of my major lower back pains has been injury and bad posture.
I am planning on seeking additional treatment options, including chiropratic, accupunction and another type of alternative medicine that is popular in this area.

(To Joe and Bill)
J- I have lost many, many of my best recordings to Kordish's living room carpet. Sometimes by chance they do pop up but you need to bug the hell out of him to look. I am happy to hear about the video footage. No hurry.
B- Its difficult to fish for the energetic sources of illness. You can even get to them and be looking at them in the wrong way. The "seek and destroy" method of energy healing has these days taken a back seat to just getting in the love and staying in the love. Healing in this way is a lot easier and takes a lot less practice.
The theory in spiritual healing is generally, "if the inside is clean and free from fault, the outside is clean and free from fault". Typically if an AMA MD cuts out a piece of flesh from your body that is causing problems and no change is made to the way of life it'll either return (as seen in cancer) or show up in another form. This is true to anything that heals on the physical level (herbs, supplementation, etc.). Accupuncture, rolfing, energy healing, etc. can move things on a deeper level sometimes doing away with the condition for good. However in my experience really deep rooted illnesses can just keep on coming back again and again. Getting into and staying in the love works so well because the love travels all the way in, infinately. Most of the time you see people recover from cancer when not only have they had the tumor irradiated or cut out, they have also changed something about they way they live.
I did a class one time about how deep seated wounds can cause people to stand in certain ways. The case study was a guy with chronic back pain. We worked on it from a spiritual healing perspective for awhile and his pain was decreased by about 80%. We took measurements of how he stood. They came out different after the healing.
If I get my chops back up I'll have you over for a few freebies. Normally even at the first session the "energy" can be isolated so at least you can gain insight into what may have caused it. I have seen people make the adjustment just from this. It doesn't matter if it is blasted out with a light beam and opens immediately or the insight is gained and the person opens it by learning to live with a different perspective.
You'd be suprised to find out just how much those old slow burners can effect the body. Imagine having just a few of the biggies resolved. When you get far enough with it you actually start having familiar feelings of that freedom you had as a child. Clean and clear but better because you understand what it means to be in a place other than that freedom. You can help others get back there from your experience.
A bonus in getting back to that place you were when you were a child is perception changes. Remember when you were a kid and your psychic abilities or your esp abilities were sky high? Some don't. Anyway it proves to be built in hardware that gets covered up. Most of the time when you heal things that stuff opens back up. Even though ultimately it is something not to focus on it comes in handy from time to time. Choices get a lot easier when you can look deeply into a situation with some of the aforementioned tools. I do have to say however I have seen many people go in a bad direction with it.
Ben
