Summer Madness Is Not CoolBy Gary Scott * Natural Health Tip – Summer Madness ain’t Cool * Ecuador Real Estate – Happiness * International Investments – IN-sured Inflation is upon us and this economic travesty turns society and wealth upside down. Wealth is essential a lie. Money is a promise of future reward for current production. During inflation, spending becomes a virtue, savings a vice. Numbers fail. Social contracts break down. Infrastructure begins to crumble and entire populations lose their respect for the system that is not honest. National equilibriums are thrown off balance. Anger then becomes the driving national emotion. Learn how to prosper from inflation. Join Merri, Thomas Fischer of Jyske Bank and me at our last International Business and Investing Made EZ course in North Carolina this year. Review where to invest and do business now and learn which markets and currencies may be strong in the year ahead. Meet Steve Marchant, our man in Ecuador, and learn about products to export. See our schedule of courses at http://www.garyscott.com/catalog/ During times of anger, especially during the summer heat, it is good for our health and wealth to be able to maintain our balance. We need ways to remain calm when everyone else is out of balance. Rudyard Kipling reminds us of this in his poem “If”: “If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you; If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too; If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,” The entire poem is at http://www.poetryloverspage.com/poets/kipling/kipling_ind.html The importance of controlling anger goes way beyond fighting inflation. This can be a life saving tip! The American Heart Association has shown serious connections between heart disease and anger. People with high anger are three times more likely to have a heart attack. High levels of anger have been shown to hurt the heart more than smoking, obesity or diabetes. So here are several natural health tips for keeping cool when everyone else is hot and not. We learn the first tip in an article entitled “Football Star Uses New Acupressure Technique to Calm his Road Rage -- No Drugs Needed”. Here’s the article: “For some people, road rage is more than just bad behavior; it’s a psychiatric condition, according to researchers from Harvard Medical School and Chicago University. If someone has more than three explosive outbursts in their lifetime, threatening physical harm or causing damage to property, they may be diagnosed with Intermittent Explosive Disorder (IED). “But there are alternatives to using prescription drugs like antidepressants or mood stabilizers, to combat road rage. Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) is a do-it-yourself acupressure technique used by many to calm themselves in traffic and avert angry, destructive outbursts. It involves fingertip tapping on select acupressure points while focusing on the disturbance in question. This adaptation of acupressure claims an 80% success rate in calming the body and mind’s anger response. “Seth Joyner, former Arizona Cardinals linebacker and three time Pro-Bowler, learned EFT to enhance his sports performance but uses it regularly in daily life. When using EFT as a stress reliever he found it helped him control road rage. Says Joyner, ‘Anger management really has more to do with your reaction to a situation than what someone else does.’ He no longer gets angry when someone cuts him off in traffic; instead he taps.” This tactic can be learned by downloading the free EFT Manual at http://www.emofree.com/downloadeftmanual.asp I checked the effectiveness of EFT with our long term friend and acupressure expert, Michael Blate, at the G-Jo Institute. He replied: “Gary, the EFT mentioned in the article is the same technique that we have taught in our workshops and seminars, in one form or another (there are several ‘styles’ of ‘EFT’) since the early 1990's. It is a profoundly effective method. “This self-tap method was first popularized by Dr. Roger Callahan (‘The Callahan Technique,Thought Field Therapy’) and was made far MORE popular by Gary Craig. Callahan charged tens of thousands of dollars to psychotherapists to teach them this method; but Gary Craig essentially gives it away for no charge, at all. “Gary Craig and I are in similar camps, since I also believe that such simple methods as EFT and G-Jo should be free for all to use ... at least in their basic form. And often, just the basics are enough to accomplish the job of providing relief. “EFT works for the same reason G-Jo Acupressure does: They each change the flow of ‘bioenergy’ (ch'i, qi or ki) to and from the body's inner organs and glands. As this occurs, there is an immediate change in one's blood chemistry (‘biochemistry’) and this, in turn, promptly causes a wide range of symptomatic relief, both ‘physical’ as well as ‘emotional’. As always, be well and namasté ... Mike” Learn how to Heal Yourself and Your Loved Ones Using Only the Touch of Your Finger -- It Works! G-Jo Acupressure. www.g-jo.com From a different point of view here’s what Vaidya R.K. Mishra replied. He outlines that right now is an especially bad time for anger and gave some additional clues on how to change the flow of ch’i, (called Ojas in Ayurved). He wrote: “Hello All, This time promises to be quite a hectic and challenging period due to the movement of Mars. This is a test of our Ojas. According to Ayurved, due to this planetary event, and since Mars is an agni (fire) planet, the agni level of the human physiology will increase in August.” Vaidya Mishra is advising everyone to take three steps: #1: Try and get more soma into our bodies by eating more somagenic foods (pears, coconut, and coconut milk, etc.) that encourage loving and nurturing behavior, #2: Keep watch on emotional eruptions, if a spouse is angry, feed them a pear. Soma Cal, a calcium supplement made from coral tips harvested on a full moon is good as well because moonlight and coral are antidotes for the planet Mars. #3: Try to keep a good routine, and if anyone fights with you, blame it on Mars - not on that person. Here is another great and really enjoyable tip. Take a moon bath by strolling in the moonlight. The sun is full of Agni, the moon full of Soma. The subtle changes to your body can have as powerful an effect as tapping!

One reason Merri and I enjoy the Andes of Ecuador is because it’s always cool! Great weather is one more great reason to join us and learn how to invest and do business around the world. Ecuador’s great weather brings great flowers as you can see in the lobby of Hotel Quito. Fresh roses are in abundance all over the Andes at about a dollar a dozen.
You can now also have greater access to fresh roses from Ecuador. Our friend, Peter Fenichell, an American who manages a rose plantation in Ecuador writes: “Hi Gary. If someone wants to know more about flowers, plus purchase them for special events etc we have formed a partnership with www.TheFlowerExchange.com This is a friendly/efficient group out of Miami. Great to be in Ecuador with this cool weather, something most are missing. Peter” This website offers fresh from the farm roses for under $12 a dozen! A really great price.
