Self-Induced Violent Eustress to Reduce Stress in Students

Abstract The riotous disruptive behavior in an inner-city middle school suggested a study of Krumping, a violent street dance credited with reducing the power of gangs and bringing peace to many in the riot torn Los Angeles ghetto. The inherent power contained in the violent motions of Krumping was found to be based upon cathartic motions called popping and locking which could be correlated with fundamental warm-up martial art exercises and with the violent bandhas of ancient Yoga. The physiological explanation for the violent tensioning found in locking has been described as eustress which counters harmful stress by releasing adaptive hormones, known to be a function of the amygdala. A small group of at-risk students were given a daily 15 minute session of popping and locking practices which increased their physical response time and awareness by 30% within a month’s time indicating the reduction of increasing distracting stress which is being recognized as a major problem in education.

Girding for Health

Robert L. Peck
The ancient world was in agreement that before facing a battle, you should gird on your sword and then gird your loins. The ancient world also stated that girding the loins was necessary for obtaining true health, namely, the inner power to fulfill the desires of the heart. I grew up hearing about the power of girding the loins, but when I finally tried to find out about it, I could find no existing Western writing which described either how to gird or what precisely it would do for you. That led me to assume that it really was powerful and that anyone could learn to gird their loins, but that it was so dangerous to rulers or the people in charge that all records had to be hidden or destroyed to keep the people subject to rulers.

The Perfect Health Plan: Proven, Safe, Effective and Inexpensive

Robert L. Peck

The crisis in modern medicine is far more than its cost which is getting the attention of politicians and the press. In 2000 the AMA finally was forced to publish an article on the deaths which were being caused by medicine itself. This article which stated that medicine was the fourth cause of death in the U.S. was surprisingly ignored by politicians and the press. Since then the rate of death from medical causes, or iatrogenic deaths, is still increasing. Iatrogenics is now in 2009 the third cause of death with still no public response other than concern about its cost and support for the effort to get everyone under the “protection” of medical insurance.

The Great Medical Myth

Robert L. Peck

Medicine is now perceived as being the means of extending your life and freeing you from pain. To support this belief, Americans are now spending over twenty cents out of each dollar on modern medicine and are currently planning to spend even more.

It is surprising, therefore, that no one seems to be asking if they are getting their money’s worth in terms of a longer, more fruitful life. It is also surprising that data that proves the ineffectiveness of modern medicine, in terms of increasing either life expectancy or health, is so readily available through the U.S. Government’s Vital Statistics, the U.S. Department of Health, as well as the AMA. In addition, most of the following information is readily available within the yearly Almanacs. (more...)

The Lost and Suppressed Method of the Methodists

John Wesley was the founder of a small group at Oxford in England who became known as the Methodists because of their required method of adding fervor and zeal to their discipline of finding perfection. As the Methodists gained national interest, questions must have arisen since Wesley was not known to have described what the method of fervor and zeal actually meant. (more...)
