Hi there,

I’d like start things off by asking you a quick question.

What area of your life would you like help with the most?

Communication
Stress, anxiety or depression
Difficulties on the job

Integrity, honesty and ethics
Handling conflicts
Marriage and family

Understanding life
Relationships with others
Problems studying and learning

Illnesses and injuries
Problems with drugs
Your public image

What if there was a simple solution you could quickly learn and implement into your life to effectively handle your area of concern? What would that mean to you?

The past two years, I’ve been involved with the most fascinating and empowering path of personal development I’ve ever experienced. The group that helped me is the most ethical and sincere I’ve ever been involved with, but also happens to be one of the most misunderstood.

Today I wanted to share with you some secrets of happy, healthy, productive living. Specifically, I wanted to share with you some free online courses you can use to immediately improve any area of your life.

I truly want to help you and have no hidden agenda. In fact, I’m really going out on a limb here by sharing this information with you. The truth is that I’ve tried these things myself and I know they work–as do millions of other people who use them too.

All I ask is that you approach these solutions with an open mind, do your best to ignore any preconceived ideas and think for yourself. Watch one or more of the free videos on the web page listed below which explain what each solution is all about. If it resonates with you great. If not, that’s fine too, but you be the judge.

I’ll share a bit of personal information with you. While I’ve experienced wins in many of the areas of life I’ve worked on, I got the biggest gains from strengthening the area of integrity, honesty and ethics.

Let’s face it, we’ve all done things we’d rather not repeat. That said, while it’s definitely good to stop making further mistakes, there’s NO GOOD REASON to continue to beat ourselves up about past errors in judgement. In fact, the better we feel about ourselves, the more likely we are to act with integrity. Put another way, the worse we feel the more likely we are to repeat the same mistakes, right?

Fortunately, there’s a very exact technology you can begin using today to release yourself from the recurring feelings of guilt, shame and regret. You will not believe how good you’ll feel simply by removing these barriers to your happiness. You’ll find this solution in the integrity, honesty and ethics section on the following web page.

I truly enjoy hearing about your wins in life from using these simple solutions. Please do share your successes with me.

Once again, here is the link to the free educational videos and free online courses.

Flourish and prosper,

This post will cover three topics: weight loss, overcoming concussion symptoms and avoiding tragedy.

I hope you are doing well. It has been several months since I shared an update with you. Since releasing my book, “Take Control of Your Health” I’ve been on the most fascinating path of research and discovery that I’ve ever been involved with.

Over the course of my next few updates, I’m excited to share some of the breakthroughs that have helped me become 100% pain and symptom free, eliminate anxiety from my life completely, noticeably reduce body fat and increase muscle mass, super-charge my ability to learn and communicate, enhance my relationships and put me into the best overall level of wellness in my life.

– LOSING WEIGHT –

Let’s start by talking about weight loss. Almost a year ago, I lost 30 pounds of fat in just a few week’s time and have kept it off. I followed the HCG diet, a decades-old program that was reintroduced by best-selling author, Kevin Trudeau, in his book “The Weight Loss Secret ‘They’ Don’t Want You to Know About.” This diet program has since been featured on Dr. Oz and has been all over the media in the past couple of years.

HCG is a hormone that has been discovered to signal the body to burn up abnormal fat reserves for energy. My research and firsthand experience have proven that the diet is very safe and works quickly. I lost about half a pound of fat per day on average. The HCG hormone is taken in very small doses and has no adverse affects that I’m aware of. In fact, if you’re concerned about taking a hormone, consider for a moment that every time you consume beef and milk products from conventional (non-organic) farms, you are exposing yourself to bovine hormones. I believe that taking a human hormone (in the form of HCG) in small doses for a few weeks is a much wiser decision that consuming bovine hormones for a lifetime.

While the standard HCG diet calls for just 500 calories per day, I decided that was not for me. Instead, I followed the doctor-supervised program featured on this web site, which allowed me to consume approximately 1,000 calories per day and still get great results. Another great resource for the HCG diet, is this web site.

If you’re still not convinced the HCG diet is for you, there’s good news. The “slow-carb diet” popularized by best-selling author, Tim Ferris in his fascinating book, “The Four Hour Body” is also known to be very effective in safely and rapidly reducing body fat. I was fortunate to spend a weekend with Tim last year at an action-packed Maverick Business Adventures event. Tim impresses me as a sensible guy who is very thorough in his research and the documented results from his “slow-carb diet” speak for themselves.

– OVERCOMING CONCUSSION SYMPTOMS —

On a more somber note, this summer the National Hockey League has been plagued with bad news. Two of the league’s top stars are out indefinitely with post-concussion symptoms and the lives of three players have tragically ended.

Sydney Crosby is one of the game’s most prolific players. Marc Savard is another NHL all-star scorer. Both players are Stanley Cup champions and both are unlikely to start the NHL season this fall, unless they get some help. I’d like to bring to their attention two solutions they may not be familiar with.

The first solution for concussion-symptoms was introduced to me by former NHL all-star and Stanley Cup Champion, Geoff Courtnall. I met Geoff at Wayne Gretzky Fantasy Camp a few years ago. Geoff’s a super-nice guy and we shared a common interest in holistic health. Like many other players, Geoff retired due to post-concussion symptoms. After a great deal of suffering, Geoff found relief from his concussion symptoms through a treatment known as Neuro Therapy, which was developed by  Dr. Dietrich Klinghardt. (The word “neuro” means relating to nerves or the nervous system.)

I’ve had several Neuro Therapy treatments myself and can attest to its effectiveness in instantly releasing clenched muscles and helping the muscles stay relaxed. The muscles around my temples, eyes and the base of my skull used to be chronically tight. A few Neuro Therapy sessions permanently released this chronic muscle tension from my head.

Another physical treatment that I know to be effective for reducing post-concussion symptoms, is called NeuroCranial Restructuring (NCR). NCR was developed by Dr. Dean Howell. Dr. Howell cured me of chronic neck and back pain and I’ve been a strong supporter of him ever since. You can view my video endorsement for NCR here and see a demonstration of me receiving an NCR treatment here. NCR is the ONLY treatment I am aware of that can actually shift the bones of the skull OUTWARDLY away from the brain, giving the brain more protection against further blows.

The bones that make up the skull are like a helmet for your brain. A helmet has a hard shell and a soft foam interior to absorb shock. Areas of the skull which are abnormally indented equate to wearing a helmet that’s missing the protective inner foam in those areas. By looking at a photo of Sydney Crosby, it’s clear to see that he has noticeable indentation on both sides of his skull, near his temples. I too had this problem and after receiving NCR treatments, the indentations were eliminated.

Dr. Howell has helped many athletes overcome post-concussion symptoms and I sincerely hope the word gets out to hockey players that a solution exists. NCR treatments are available in Los Angeles, New York, the Seattle area, Boulder, and even London, England.

Before leaving the topic of concussion treatment, I feel it is important to address the psychosomatic (mind-over-body) aspects involved with injuries and introduce two breakthrough technologies for handling these issues. The first addresses the modern science of mental health and is the subject of the best-selling self-help book of all-time, embraced by some of Hollywood’s top stars and is growing in popularity at an unprecedented rate. Not only is this technology extremely effective, it also very affordable. In fact, you can learn to do it yourself in a few hours with this dvd or have it professionally administered to you for less than $25/hour.

The second technology for assisting the body to heal more rapidly is explained in the following booklet. If you’d prefer, you can download a free copy of the same booklet and get free online support to learn how to do it yourself, with this free online course. The results from these last two healing technologies mentioned cannot be overstated.

– AVOIDING TRAGEDY –

Lastly, I wanted to touch on a very sensitive topic relating to hockey. Being such a huge hockey fan myself, I was saddened to learn that three NHL players died this summer: Derek Boogaard, Rick Rypien and Wade Belak. All were tough guys who according to news reports, succumbed to depression. My condolences go out to the friends and family of these men.

Depression has become such a devastating issue in today’s society. It is my hope that doctors and patients will consider all information and options that are available before making decisions about treating mental health disorders.   If you are a parent with school-age children, I urge you to watch the film, “Dead Wrong” before allowing your child to be prescribed psychiatric drugs. You can watch the film for free at this link. Those who are indifferent or even supportive of psychiatry may benefit from watching one of the other four films at this link.

Fortunately, there are effective alternatives to psychiatric drugs, which can be found on this page.   It’s been my pleasure writing this update for you. I hope you enjoyed it and can put some of the information to use to benefit you or those you care about.

Be well,

The financial markets appear to have reversed last week and begun what is almost surely to become the worst bear (down) market since The Great Depression. This is a strong statement to make after the crash we experienced in 2008. It is important to know that the crash of 2008 was followed by a rally that was the strongest since The Great Depression. A brief, intense rally is exactly what followed the historic crash of 1929. What most people don’t realize is that it was the second crash from 1930-1932 that delivered the most devastating losses, slashing asset prices by over 80%.

The US dollar is about the only safe place to hide at this point. This presents an excellent opportunity for all Canadians. The Loonie was on par with the US dollar last week and we Canadians all know what a great bargain that is. In 2008/09, a Canadian could have earned a 30% return simply by selling all their mutual funds and holding their cash in a US chequing account. If a Canadian had gone one step further and bought bonds guaranteed by the US treasury (via the fund symbol TLT) they could have earned an additional 45%. Yes, that’s right. By taking almost zero risk, by holding US treasury bonds, a Canadian could have earned a return of over 80%. While it is next to impossible to buy and sell any asset at its absolute top or bottom, earning a return of 50% was available to anyone who had any idea what was going on. Thankfully, 2008 has given us a wonderful template to work from and the opportunity for exceptional gains are available again right now for a very limited time.

The US dollar appears to have already begun its rally last week as gold, silver, and oil appear to have peaked. Speaking of gold and silver, to borrow a quote from my favorite investment forecaster, Steven Kaplan of TrueContrarian.com, there has been enough hype about these two metals in recent weeks to sink the Titanic a second time. Keep in mind that in 2008, gold dropped over 30% and silver dropped more than 55%. Even worse, the stocks of gold mining companies dropped over 70% in 2008. And let’s not forget about all the hype about oil in 2008. The media had the public convinced we were soon to run out of the stuff and that it was only a matter of when, not if, oil would be exceeding $200 per barrel. Of course, oil instead plummeted over 75% to $35 per barrel. Today it appears silver has replaced oil for the most over-hyped and overvalued commodity. The truth is that the time to buy silver was back in 2008 when it was under $10 per ounce, not now that it’s near $30.

Rather than buying into the media BS and getting run over again in the upcoming months, let’s see how many of our friends and loved ones can avoid becoming roadkill this time around. All that is required is to pick up the phone without delay, sell all one’s mutual funds (and Canadians switch the cash immediately into US dollars). Reading Robert Prechter’s book, “Conquer the Crash” and subscribing to TrueContrarian.com newsletter would also be wise choices, especially for those who want to understand how investing works so they can safeguard and consistently grow their retirement savings.

I was down in the San Diego area yesterday, getting an RHP blood ozone treatment at the office of Dr. Louie Yu, a man who has earned a tremendous amount of respect with me over the past year. Dr. Yu has proven himself time and again as an outstanding physician by saving patients the rest of the medical community has given up on.

RHP is an outstanding protocol that completely oxygenates and filters a patient’s blood supply. It’s the closest thing to getting brand new blood. Yesterday, I actually clogged the filter because so much fat was removed from my blood. This is the first time I’ve ever clogged the filter, after about 10 treatments.

I haven’t had an RHP treatment since October and since then have invested many hours sweating in a sauna, completing the Purification Program. The Purification Program is an outstanding fat and lymphatic detoxification protocol that I highly recommend as well. I’ve also been supplementing with a fat soluble anti-oxidant called astaxanthin lately. Perhaps one of both of these things contributed to there being so much excess fat suspended in my blood yesterday.

Dr. Yu, like me, always gravitates towards the best of the best in whatever marketplace he is dealing, whether that be medicine or otherwise. Besides RHP, Dr. Yu has also introduced me to (what I believe to be) the best of the best tacos and sushi. Whenever I’m down visiting Dr. Yu, I always make a point of visiting one of Dr. Yu’s favorite spots, Tacos El Gordo, and ordering several “Tacos de Adobada”, which are made with flame cooked, marinated pork. These are without a doubt the best tacos I’ve ever tried.

The last few trips, Dr. Yu had been raving about a sushi place in between San Diego and LA that he claimed had the best sushi. I live in Vancouver, which is right on the ocean and has a hundred or more sushi restaurants. I love sushi and rarely eat sushi I don’t like so I was skeptical that the place Dr. Yu spoke of could be so good.

Last night Dr. Yu took me to Nozomi Japanese Fusion Restaurant in Carlsbad, California and the sushi truly was in a league of its own. We sat right in front of Executive Chef, Ken Lee, who started us off with a couple of pieces of sea urchin that was incredible. I wasn’t particularly hungry after overdosing on tacos earlier that day, but Ken insisted I try his Hula Roll. I did and will definitely be back for another. I also tried the salmon and yellow tail, which was absolutely amazing. Dr. Yu exceeded my expectations again. I can’t wait to do it all over again sometime soon.

Until next time…

Be well,
Craig

Wow, what an exciting couple of weeks we had with the Winter Olympics up here in Vancouver. Fortunately, I was able to take in a few events including three great hockey games and the men’s aerial freestyle skiing finals. I also managed to get down to Legoland and Disneyland with my family during the first few days of the Olympics, taking advantage of the two week break from school. Overall, a 10/10 experience on all fronts.

Thank you to all of you who have picked up a copy of my new book, “Take Control of Your Health”. So far the response has been excellent. I’d love to get your input on the book, so please drop me an email providing your feedback and suggestions. If you haven’t picked up a copy yet, the book is now available with free shipping through amazon.com, amazon.ca and amazon.co.uk.

I recently completed an intense 25-day detox. I mentioned it in my book, it’s called the Hubbard Sauna Protocol (aka Purification Program) and outlined in details in the book “Clear Body Clear Mind”. This program is the best fat and lymphatic system detox I’m aware of.

It’s important to understand that toxins can be either water soluble or fat soluble. Fat soluble toxins can remain trapped in the body’s fat tissue for decades. If you’d like to rid your body of years of built of drug, pesticide and other fat soluble toxic residuals, then the Hubbard Sauna Program is definitely worth considering. This is the same program that I credited in my book for helping my father rid himself of Parkinson’s symptoms. It really is an amazing program.

Also on the health front, I’ve been doing some research on a few health products which I was previously unaware of, which are showing a lot of promise. One is called MMS and is known to Cure malaria and even AIDS according to the reports outlined in the book, “The Miracle Mineral Solution of the 21st Century”. Another product, which I’m currently testing right now is called astaxanthin, which is a powerful anti-oxidant. Unlike traditional antioxidants like vitamin-C, astaxanthin is fat soluble and can therefore hang around longer in the body. Astaxanthin is reported to have many systemic benefits, especially pain relief, anti-aging and decreasing recovery time from exercise. Astaxanthin is orange and is what creates the color in salmon flesh–the same incredible fish that are able to swim upstream for days without eating.

Both MMS and astaxanthin are very affordable and available through many places online. I encourage you to try whichever of these products interests you most and provide me with your feedback, to speed up and improve my research.

On the topic of happiness, I’ve recently been researching and testing a technology that absolutely blows away all of the other things I mentioned in my book for reducing stress and increasing one’s level of happiness. I’m in the process of writing a new section for the end of chapter 2 which will be titled, “The Heavy Artillery for Blasting Away Emotional Pain”. I am eagerly continuing this research and look forward to sharing it with you in this newsletter when I have the piece completed.

Lastly, one of the best ways to be happy is to live in abundance. While money may not buy happiness, not having enough money can certainly add a lot of stress to one’s life.

I will be sending an update this Friday through my wealth update list which provides a sobering outlook on the real estate market. Anyone who owns a home, rental property of any kind, or is considering buying would benefit from reading this update.

The stock market is looking far closer to a top than a bottom right now. I highly recommend selling any and all stocks and mutual funds immediately to avoid losing 50% or more of your wealth.

If you are invested in stocks or mutual funds, chances are you got whacked in 2008.

As the saying goes, “Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.”

In September 2007 the stock market was topping and I produced this timely youtube video warning viewers of the imminent risk. The next month, the stock market topped and by the time the market had found it’s (temporary) bottom, investors had been devastated — most losing more than 30% and some losing as much as 70% of their wealth.

Since March 2009, many stocks have doubled and some have tripled from their lows. If you had been following the lead of my favorite investment forecasting service, Steven Kaplan of www.TrueContrarian.com you would have experienced these amazing returns in your portfolio. Even the benchmark S&P 500 and Dow Jones indexes have rallied about 70% from their March 2009 lows.

Of course, most people thought it was too scary to invest in early 2009 when in reality it was the best investment opportunity since the Great Depression era (which Steve predicted). Now, several months later, many believe the worst is behind us and the stock market is safer place to be invested. Nothing could be further from the truth.

If you would like to avoid the pain you experienced in 2008, be sure to learn from your experience rather than repeating it. Call your stock broker or investment adviser and assertively insist that they sell your all your positions and move 100% into cash. Don’t take no for an answer. You are the boss. It’s your money.

After reading Steve Kaplan’s daily email updates for a couple of months, you’ll fully understand the truth about how the investment markets work and may then choose to follow some of his investment recommendations. In the mean time, cash is the safest place to be.

I am not compensated in any way for recommending TrueContrarian.com. Steven Kaplan has earned my trust the hard way by providing timely information, outstanding results, along with the highest level of integrity. His daily update service is only $150 per year. If you’d like to avoid the pain you experienced in the stock market crash of 2008 (which Steven predicted and profited from) then subscribe today.
