    Near-death experiences confuse the brain

The brain's tendency to occasionally blur the line between sleep and wakefulness may help explain the phenomenon of near-death experience, preliminary research suggests. It's been an open question as to why some people see bright light, feel detached from their bodies or have other extraordinary sensations when they are close to dying or believe they might die. Some people view these so-called near-death experiences as evidence of life after death, and many neurologists have considered the phenomenon too complex for scientific study.

But the new research, published in the journal Neurology, implicates the blending of sleep and wake states as a biological cause. Researchers found that adults who say they've had such an experience are also likely to have a history of what's called REM intrusion, where aspects of the dream state of sleep spill over into wakefulness.

People may, for example, feel paralysed when they first wake up, or have visual or auditory hallucinations as they fall asleep or awaken. Of the 55 study participants who've had a near-death experience, 60% have also experienced REM intrusion at some point in their lives. That compares with 24% of 55 adults in a comparison group.

Arousing the body

The findings suggest that the brain's arousal system predisposes some people to both REM intrusion and near-death experience, according to the study authors, led by Dr Kevin Nelson, a neurologist at the University of Kentucky in Lexington. This arousal system, Nelson says, regulates not only REM sleep, but also attention and alertness during waking hours, including during dangerous situations. And many of the features of REM intrusions, he says, parallel those of near-death experience.

During REM sleep, visual centres in the brain are highly active, while the limb muscles are temporarily paralysed. So REM intrusion during peril could promote the visions of light and sensation of "being dead" that people often have during a near-death experience, according to Nelson.

Not the whole story

Other evidence supports a role for REM intrusion in near-death experiences, he says. One important fact, Nelson notes, is that stimulation of the vagus nerve, which connects the brain stem to the heart, lungs and intestines, triggers REM intrusion. And heightened activity in this nerve is sure to be part of the body's "fight-or-flight" response to danger.

Still, Nelson says he doesn't think REM intrusion will turn out to be the "whole explanation" for near-death experience, and the findings shouldn't detract from the meaning people have taken from their experiences. "My work is spiritually neutral," Nelson says, noting the research can only look at how the brain contributes to near-death experience, and not why the phenomenon occurs.

"The 'why' can't be addressed by scientific inquiry," he says.

Alzheimer's and the Mediterranean diet

Have you ever met a demented Greek fisherman? Well, have you ever wondered why not? US researchers think they may have the answer.

They’ve found that a Mediterranean diet - one rich in fruits, vegetables, fish, legumes, cereals, and olive oil (and so called because it’s the diet consumed by people living around the Mediterranean) - tends to a lower a person’s risk of Alzheimer's disease, the major cause of dementia.

The researchers - from New York's Columbia University Medical Centre - did a study of 2,258 people aged 70 on average, in New York. They questioned the people about what foods they ate and gave each one a score according to how close their diet was to the Mediterranean diet. The closer to the Mediterranean diet, the higher the score. Scores ranged from zero to nine.

They also did a physical and neurological examination which included tests of memory, language, and reasoning. The tests were repeated every year and a half for an average of four years. They adjusted for age, gender, ethnicity, education, genetic factors linked to Alzheimer's disease, caloric (kilojoule) intake, body mass index and smoking. The study was funded by the National Institutes of Health's National Institute on Aging.

None of the participants had Alzheimer's to start with but over the four years, 262 developed it. Those with the highest diet scores were 40 per cent less likely to fall into the group diagnosed with the condition than those with the lowest scores. Those with middle scores were 15 per cent less likely.

In the past, the Mediterranean diet has been shown to reduce the risk of cancer, heart disease and premature death. But this is the first study to suggest that it lowers the risk of Alzheimer’s, say the researchers.

Antioxidant effect?

Why does it have this effect? The Mediterranean diet has been shown to reduce the risk of arteriosclerosis - in which fatty deposits narrow blood vessels. This could be due to the plentiful supply of antioxidants in the diet, perhaps the lycopenes from the tomatoes for example. And there's a theory that arteriosclerosis may be the cause of dementia.

One point to note though is that this was an observational study. This means it doesn't prove conclusively that the diet lowered the risk of Alzheimer’s. Even after allowing for ethnicity, gender, etc, there could have been other reasons why those on the diet didn’t get Alzheimer’s.

Still, it does support the general belief that lifestyle factors are important in preventing this condition, which affects one in four Australian over the age of 85 and is the number one reason for people entering nursing homes. Other lifestyle factors known to reduce the risk are exercise and keeping mentally active.

Preventing Alzheimer's is a priority because there's no effective cure (though there are drugs that will slow it down) and more people are going to get the condition in the years ahead as our population ages.

What exactly is the Mediterranean diet? It's a diet high in:

  • Fruits including apples, oranges, orange or grapefruit juice, peaches, apricots, plums, and bananas;
  • Vegetables including tomatoes, broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, brussel sprouts, carrots, corn, yams, spinach, and yellow squash;
  • Legumes including peas, lima beans, lentils, and beans;
  • Cereals including cold breakfast cereals, white or dark bread, rice, pasta, and potatoes (baked, grilled, or mashed);
  • Monounsaturated fatty acids, such as those found in olive oil;
  • Moderate amounts of fish of all types;
  • A moderate amount of alcohol eg wine with meals;
  • Low amounts of meat, poultry and dairy products

Money Skill #1. Value It

 

You need to learn how to value each and every dollar that flows into your life. Because you can achieve Financial Freedom on just a Dollar a Day! That's right. A dollar a day. When you think about it, financial freedom all starts with a single dollar.

 

Dig one our of your wallet or purse and examine it. This simple piece of paper doesn't appear to be worth much. Buys you a soda. A chocolate bar. A bad hamburger. So what if you waste one, or lose one or throw one away? It's just a dollar. Losing value every second. It's just a dollar. Use it or lose it.

 

Or is it? Is this ordinary dollar bill more than what it appears to be? Could it be a magic ticket to a fuller more abundant life of anywhere/time/thing you want? You see, prosperous people don't think a dollar "is just a dollar." They imagine it is a seed...a money seed...that has the power to grow into a huge money tree, giving off fruit to fulfill every one of their dreams. And they are absolutely right.

 

Every dollar is a money seed. Just like a tiny acorn contains the power to grow into a mighty oak tree, each dollar has the power to grow into a mighty money tree. If you destroy an acorn, the oak tree inside also dies. So, too, with a money seed. You can grow one of these money trees...on as little as a dollar a day. Could you afford that? In a few short years, your money tree will be full grown and majestic, growing right in the center of your future dream home. Imagine that!

Branches of your money tree spreading along the ceiling into every room of the house. Every few feet or so is a nodule which pops open once or twice a day...and releases the fruit of the tree...a crisp one hundred dollar bill. That hundred gently floats down and lands in the strategically placed basket. All night long you hear the pop, pop, pop as these nodules open and release their fruit. It takes only a few minutes to collect the fruit in the morning. 24 hours a day, your money tree is producing fruit. While you sleep. While you work. While you play. While you eat. It never stops. An endless stream of cash flow. Get the picture? That's why it is so important to preserve and protect each of these money seeds. Every time you waste one of those silly, green pieces of paper, it's just like throwing away a money seed. No seed? No tree.

 

So, how much is one those seeds really worth? That depends on how long you let it grow and at what rate of growth. Let's suppose you take one dollar and put it into a special bank account that will let the dollar grow, untouched by taxes and fees. How long will it take for this ONE SINGLE DOLLAR BILL to grow into a MILLION DOLLARS? That depends on what interest rate the bank account pays. If it's like ordinary bank accounts...paying 3 to 6% interest...then it's going to take a long, long time. At 3% it will take 468 years for a single dollar bill to grow into a million dollars.

 

What? Not planning on living 468 years? Relax. We're not done with that dollar bill yet. We've got to supercharge it, so those nodules can start popping in your lifetime. How can we do this? Rather than just planting one money seed, could you plant them more often? Could you afford to put away a dollar a day? Just a dollar a day. $30 bucks a month! You can do that.

Well, a dollar a day at 3% grows into a million dollars in only 147 years. That's still not fast enough, is it?

 

What if we raised the interest rate from 3% to 5%. That cuts the time down to about 100 years. Still not fast enough. How about ten percent interest? Only 56 years. Hmmm. Not bad. A dollar a day becomes a million dollars in only 56 years. Let that sink in for a minute. A measly dollar day can grow into A MILLION DOLLARS in a the span of a normal lifetime. If you put just a dollar a day away for each of your children or grandchildren on the day they were born, they could all be lifetime millionaires.

 

But what about you? Is it too late for you? Could you still be a millionaire on a dollar a day? It's going to take some fancy work, but I think there's even hope for you. First of all, we'll have to find ways to fertilize your dollars so that they grow even faster. Suppose someone had put a dollar a day away for you ...stuck it under the mattress...the day you were born and every day thereafter. By the time you were to reach retirement age...there would be $25,000 waiting for you. Now, what if they stuck it in a bank at 3%. There would be about $75,000. At 5% there would be just under $200,000. At ten percent interest, there would be $2.7 million. At 15% there would be $50,000,000. That's right. Fifty million dollars. And at 20% there would be...One Billion Dollars!. That's one thousand million dollars. All from one dollar a day.

 

I hope that sinks in deep. Most of us waste dozens of dollars a day without even thinking. No big deal. It's just a dollar. But extremely prosperous people know the real truth about dollar bills. Each dollar bill is a million dollar money seed. After all, it only takes a dollar- a-day...JUST A DOLLAR...to grow into a fortune. Now, it's no small feat to make your money grow at 20%, year after year. I'll show you several ways to do this later. But for now, I want you to just become aware that a single dollar bill has incredible power. You could be a millionaire in about 30 years on JUST A DOLLAR A DAY!

 

Still not fast enough for you? OK, there's a way to speed things up. Could you plant two or three seeds a day? Or five? Or ten? What does that do? We'll let's cut right to the chase. If you put ten lousy bucks a day away every single day and put it in the right mutual funds, or stocks or real estate and let the clock tick at 20 %, you're a millionaire in just 20 years! (Pop, pop, pop, pop) Excited yet?

 

What makes a few dollar a day grow into such huge amounts of money? It's the power of compound interest. You've heard of this before but I want you to really understand the concept because it's going to power you on to your dreams. Einstein himself, said, "The most powerful invention of man is compound interest." Compound interest is a magic money magnifier. Compound interest works for you while you sleep.

 

Remember, money that's compounding never sleeps. Every second of every day. 24 hours a day. 365 days a year. You've got to figure out a way to get money working for you instead of you working for money. And all it takes is a few lousy bucks a day! You don't have to be a financial genius. You don't have to own a big company. You can do it from your kitchen table using the money that you're now foolishly throwing away. If you just re-divert a few of your ill-spent dollars and funnel them to some well-timed investments, you can achieve financial success. It's within your grasp.

 

Look again at that dollar bill. Take care of it. It's a money seed. I'll bet you'll think twice before you throw away one of those silly, green pieces of paper. It's like throwing away the seed to a million dollar money tree. (maybe even a billion dollar tree.) Every time you save one of those money seeds, you start your way to wealth. The real key is to keep socking away the money, even if it's only a dollar. Let the numbers whisper their silent but relentless message. Consistency. Day in. Day out. Save. Save. Save. Invest. Invest. Invest. It doesn't much matter what investment you choose. Low yielding government securities are fine...just as long as you invest consistently for the long haul.

 

Constantly save. Consistently Invest. Like clockwork. Old Faithful. It might be boring. It might be dull. It might be hard. It might take discipline, persistence, sacrifice. No matter. Just do it.

 

           Live on less than you earn.

           Invest the surplus.

           Avoid debt.

           Build long term security

           It's my not be get rich quick. But it's get rich sure.

           It's not the exciting rabbit.

           But the tortoise laughs slowly all the way to the bank.

            

But there will be no billions, no millions, no thousands, no nothing at all unless you get started with this plan... you need to start today. Every day you wait, every hour you delay, is like burning up your financial future. Do it now. Yes, it will take sacrifice. It means deferring gratification for a while to allow your money tree to grow. When you prematurely pick the fruit from your money tree, you stunt it's growth and this can dramatically slow down the time for you to enjoy a fully matured, fruit bearing money tree.

 

Now, why do all of this money multiplying? In the truest sense, money is a spiritual concept. With proper planning, you can not only take care of yourself and the ones closest to you but you can leave a positive legacy for your posterity. If you won't do it for yourself, at least do it for them.

Now, look at that dollar bill one more time.

 

This simple money seed contains the power to bless you and countless future generations...if you'll start now. A wealthy future is awaiting you. It's worth the sacrifice. Let nothing divert you from your task. Remember, it all starts with a single dollar bill.
