Is Distilled Water Dangerous To Your Body?
by Art Kunkin
In previous Living Longer columns I stated that the inorganic minerals found in the earth, and therefore in ordinary city tap water, are dangerous to health because they cannot be absorbed by the human body (i.e. are not biologically available). These inorganic minerals in tap water actually clog up the arteries and do much to prevent a long and healthy life, an important health fact that most people do not seem to know.
I also wrote in those columns that the best biologically-available water for the human body was that found in vegetables and fruit juices. This is because plants, when absorbing inorganic minerals from the earth, change the electronic nature of those minerals (i.e. ionize them) and thus transform them into organic minerals that were biologically available.
However, since the body needs water in amounts not available from vegetables and juices, I advised (more…)

Could You Become A Psychic Healer In 4 Days?
by Art Kunkin
It is an amazing but largely unreported fact that since the 1960s hundreds of thousands of Americans have attended workshops of 4 days or less that often concluded in a truly unusual psychic experience, a surprisingly accurate medical intuitive diagnosis of a total stranger many miles away. This experience was a central feature of workshops sponsored by such large organizations as Silva Mind Control (over 6 million claimed graduates internationally since 1966), est (700,000 claimed students since 1971, Wikipedia), and Mind Dynamics, the predecessor to est. Other organizations teaching such material include The Napoleon Hill Foundation, LifeSpring, LifeStream, Context Trainings, Life Dynamics, Actualizations, Insight and Leadership Dynamics.
I will be presenting and teaching the basic techniques used by all such groups for developing one’s intuition at a Tuesday evening, January 19th class. This class will (more…)

A Partial History Of Some Very Bad Predictions

by Art Kunkin
For this last issue of 2009, I originally planned to write a column about my personal resolutions for 2010. However, I finally decided it would be useful to precede that column with this humorous list of some failed predictions of the past compiled from the Internet. Here is the first part of this list.

How Shall We Spend Our Holidays?
Spend Time Caring, Not Buying
by Art Kunkin
I am reproducing here some useful thoughts that friends of mine in Michigan have been distributing each year since 1981 in a leaflet with this same headline. Since that essay is too long for this space, I have rewritten and edited it, mostly eliminating some anti-establishment rhetoric used by my friends.
The holiday season of 2009 is upon us. Many of us are concerned about how to make ends meet. We dread the demands of family and friends for all the things they have come to expect of us. And cards proclaiming “Peace On Earth” ring hollow as the daily news reminds us that our world is in a long war.
Many are hoping that we can forget our personal problems and shut out politics by plunging into the spirit of the holidays. And once again we are planning to hide our fears about what tomorrow will bring by trying to buy happiness and good cheer. Encouraged by advertising and the glut of shiny but shoddy goods, holiday season has become consumer season. (more…)
