What a great idea!! I wonder if Medicare would cover her services? www.holistichelp.net/counseling.html Get Empowered to Live Your Best Life Possible with Cynthia Perkins, M.Ed. and her Integrative Holistic Health Coaching
"Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain." ~ Vivian Greene
As your integrative holistic health coach, we will work together to optimize your physical, emotional/mental, and spiritual health by identifying the potential underlying causes of your symptoms, individualizing your diet, helping you to be thoroughly informed, and creating a strong self-care plan that empowers you to take control of your own healing journey and move forward with strength and confidence.
At the core of my approach is the belief that the foundation for healing is built first and foremost with a diet and lifestyle that encourages health. This means that the food we eat and the way we live should be aligned with Paleo/Primal principles at the base, the way nature intended us to eat and live. While at the same time, recognizing that we are all unique biochemically and the need for individualization.
Your dietary and lifestyle needs will be affected by whatever health condition you may be addressing or the goal you are trying to achieve, and therefore, need to be personalized to address these issues.
Get customized dietary and lifestyle suggestions Individualize your Paleo/Primal diet for your personal biochemical needs Identify foods that may be contributing to your symptoms or conditions Overcome cravings for sugar and carbs During a session with me you can expect to attempt to identify possible underlying contributors of your symptoms, clarify goals, develop a plan of action, get headed in the right direction, receive customized dietary guidelines and lifestyle approaches, troubleshoot roadblocks, a nutritional supplement assessment, supplemental reading material, and lab testing suggestions if desired.
Identify root causes of symptoms Clarify your goals Design a plan of action and strong self-care plan Troubleshoot obstacles From there, we strengthen the foundation with other holistic practices like mindfulness and breathwork and we may use functional medicine lab testing to go deeper or explore other avenues. We will investigate potential issues like microbial overgrowth, neurotransmitter imbalances, sympathetic nervous system activity, environmental toxicity, nutritional imbalances, and more.
Also at the heart of my philosophy is the belief that healing is a life-long journey, not a one-time event. It requires a passionate commitment and dedication to the goal. Sometimes, not all conditions, syndromes, illnesses, or diseases can be completely "healed", but they can, at the very least, be significantly improved and managed with the right interventions.
Being healthy or achieving optimal health is not always defined by the "absence" of disease or illness. It may also mean living and functioning as optimally as possible with your condition. Finding harmony and balance in the midst of the storm, while continuing to strive for a more optimal level of health.
Move toward a higher level of health with strength and confidence Improve your quality of life Reduce feelings of fear, helplessness, hopelessness, and loss of control Take control of your healing journey Last but not least, I hold a firm opinion that responsibility for your health lies in your hands, not your practitioners. My goal is to help you take the reigns and lead the way. Empowerment is found by being as informed as possible about your conditions, the challenges that exist, and the options available to you.
Cynthia's Holistic Health Coaching is Short-term and Goal focused I can provide you with everything you need to begin moving toward a higher level of health and living your best life possible in one or two sessions, depending on how deep you want to go and the extent of support you would like. I'm not going to lock you into months of unnecessary coaching.
When I come into the initial consult with you, I have already reviewed your intake forms, taken notes for a plan of action, and I'm ready to dive immediately into presenting you with an empowering self-care plan designed specifically for your needs. When you leave the session, you can put these steps into action instantly and begin your journey towards better health.
However, you can benefit greatly from additional sessions by working on a particular issue, concern, technique, remedy, etc, in more depth or for accountability and support. So, I am always here for ongoing consultations if you need or desire to go deeper.
Cynthia's Areas of Expertise I hold a bachelor's degree in psychology, a master's degree of education in mental health counseling, a certificate of completion in functional medicine, and a certificate of completion in MBSR (Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction as taught by Jon Kabat-Zinn) and I'm the author of more than ten self-help books.
Furthermore, I have overcome many challenges in my own life like fibromyalgia, disabling anxiety attacks, clinical depression, alcoholism, drug addiction, sugar and carb addiction, and compulsive overeating. So, my expertise comes to you on both a professional and personal level. Additionally, I have been walking the walk of what I teach for more than 30 years.
My integrative holistic health coaching or counseling has helped thousands of people with chronic health conditions of many different kinds to successfully improve the quality of their lives and move toward a higher level of health.

That pic of Linda was a part of the Get Closer photo shoot. Obviously they went in a different direction with the red polka dot dress..... Makes sense judging from the hairstyle, length, perm, etc. They decided to go for the wild look.

Just bringing this forward in case some new people missed these videos or if you know how to record them from here this might be a good time to do it. What do people use to download that might be the best? I discovered that if I put my cursor over it, right click and then choose "save target as" it will download to whatever file I wish to store it in. Simple as that! RF, that whole Don Kirshners concert was posted on YT a while back, although the video quality stunk. But, as always, the copy write nazi's crept in and yanked it! That's why I suggest getting "YT Downloader" and downloading everything. That's the one where she did that duet with the Nitty Gritty dirt Band that's sill up on YT.
I wish that link there had the whole concert? Those two vids were great, and I did download them!
TF is that still what you use to download? What do you use for other sites like vimeo, dailymotion, etc.?

I was at both screenings of the film in DC. They were well attended, with a quick Q&A with the directors after each one. Clearly there were longtime fans in attendance, but a surprising number of young people as well. I did, hesitantly, point out to one of the directors that the songwriting credit for Still Within The Sound Of My Voice belonged to Jimmy Webb ( not Phil Everly as it said on screen). Seemed kind of important with the title of the film and all. He was very gracious and thanked me for pointing it out , apparently they were temporary credits and would be corrected. The film is put together well, the story sticks closely to the narrative of Linda's book, with the focus on music. Most of the interviews I'd seen or heard before from postings on this forum. They do a wonderful job of piecing them together to tell her story, considering that they make big chronological leaps.There are a couple of musical surprises, like Rambler Gambler appearing early on and some underscoring of the New Union Ramblers. Interestingly, at both screenings people mentioned the clips from Wonderland, they seemed to strike a chord with the audience and illustrate Linda's lack of pretense and her obvious intelligence. Hearing her friends and peers speak about her was wonderful, Emmylou was particularly gracious and heartfelt. The directors pointed out that everyone they approached wanted to participate and remarked about how respected and loved she is by her peers. It ends with Aaron Neville. Would have been nice to mention some of her 90's stuff and Ann Savoy, but I'm sure they were under a time constraint. It closes on a beautiful note, sweetly singing with her family. There's nothing revelatory, especially for this group, but it is thoughtful and respectful and truly showcases her as a trailblazing woman in the music industry with a remarkable musical gift. Her humility and humor also come through strongly. Wow. How could they miss that? I guess they didn't interview Jimmy Webb? And did they interview any fans at all? That is usually the missing link and forgotten dynamic in a lot of these biopics and a factor that can make or break an artist in their careers. No fans, no success.

LINDA RONSTADT2014 Category: Performers ON THIS PAGE Biography www.rockhall.com/inductees/linda-ronstadtTribute to Linda Ronstadt Get More Artist Stories Become a member Buy a ticket Sign up for E-news SPARKLING. RICH. VERSATILE. LINDA RONSTADT’S VOICE WAS UNLIKE ANY OTHER. She expanded from her country- and folk-rock roots to cover nearly every genre imaginable. Ronstadt—a perfectionist and true master of her craft—never met a song she couldn’t interpret. BIOGRAPHYTO THE TOP Nearly twenty years after she became eligible, Linda Ronstadt was finally nominated for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and was elected on the first ballot. Ronstadt herself has never been much for award ceremonies—Hall of Fame, Grammys, whatever. "I don't want to seem ungracious," she (graciously) said, "but I've refused all comment about this." One tricky aspect of her relation to the Hall of Fame is that Ronstadt (b. July 15, 1946) has long since gone beyond rock in her madly diverse musical career. When she became eligible, she was already well into her standards and Mexican albums. To the disappointment of her rock fans (who, to judge from her recent book tour, remained a devoted, warmly affectionate lot), she gives the 1970s relatively short shrift in her lovely memoir, Simple Dreams. To read her now, she felt her music range to be confined; her concerts all lonely dressing rooms and bad arena acoustics and onstage unease. Indoor sports stadiums and big crowds cause her discomfort. To discuss Linda's remarkable music career would be to place equal emphasis on all the kinds of music she has sung, from folk and folk rock, to country and country rock, to pop rock and hard rock, to Gilbert and Sullivan and Puccini, to American songbook standards, to Mexican ranchera, to Afro-Cuban, to jazz. It's kind of amazing. Looking back on her rock career now, beyond all the success on the charts (with singles, albums, rock, country, R&B, adult contemporary, jazz, Latin), Linda's self-analysis corresponds with many of the rock critics who rated her a stiff and unspontaneous singer. Linda had always been a perfectionist; her greatest musical pleasure, aside from singing in private with her family and friends, was working in the studio—getting the pitch and the phrasing and the harmonies and the arrangements and the production details just right: what the composer and critic Virgil Thomson used to call tiny craft. Though her records have been produced by the likes of Peter Asher and George Massenburg, and her bands led by Andrew Gold and Waddy Wachtel, Linda has remained a strong decisive voice in all artistic decisions. Asher was initially warned when he contemplated becoming her manager and producer that her assertiveness made her hard to work with. Just another cross to bear for a "chick singer," as she referred to herself and her peers, in a man's world. If a chick singer implies a docile songbird controlled by macho instrumentalists and producers, it strays a long way from this particular reality. For all her charm and grace, she has always been strong-willed, a determined feminist—and her outspoken progressive political activism in the years around her 2014 Hall of Fame Induction only reinforces that point. Her perfectionism, however, meant that some of her rock singing sounded stiff. She has a beautiful voice in an idiom that prizes roughness, and her struggle to get the phrasing right clashed with the improvisatory spirit of many admired rock singers, female and male. The fact that with a couple of exceptions she was an interpreter, not a songwriter, covering songs by others who had already put their imprint on them, complicated her problem. “I never came out of the blues," she told me recently. "My roots were in Mexican music and country music—and classical music, though that didn't help me one bit with rock!" Her admirers still prize many of those records from the apex of her rock fame. Despite all her different musical explorations, Linda was still making rock records close to when she was forced to retire from singing. "My best rock and roll singing happened after I made Mexican records," she said. She mentions the album Winter Light (1993) and We Ran (1998) as containing what she thinks of as some of her best rock work, particularly the songs "Anyone Who Had a Heart" and "I Just Don't Know What to Do With Myself" on Winter Light; and "Ruler of Me Heart" and "Cry 'Till My Tears Run Dry" on We Ran. She credits her immersion in ranchera and African rhythms on her Afro-Cuban album Frenesí (1992) with freeing her as a rock singer—ironically, long after her rock stardom had crested. Nonetheless, following her successes as Mabel in Gilbert and Sullivan's Pirates of Penzance in 1980 (Central Park, Broadway, a feature film), she became better known for her musical styles other than rock. She still sold millions of records (especially the standards and Mexican albums), but she had happily evolved away from rock. What's interesting about her rock career, from her family singing in Tucson to her first Stone Poneys recordings starting in 1967 and her solo albums from 1969 on, is the stylistic diversity underneath the broad tent of what we call "rock." Linda was an eager participant in the Troubadour scene that favored folk rock and country rock. Her rock albums contain examples of all that, plus the exquisite ballads her admirers adore, even though they showed up less often on her greatest hits albums than the uptempo rock and R&B songs. Close-harmony singing (especially the Trio sessions with Emmylou Harris and Dolly Parton) alluded to her love for the American vernacular that preceded both standards and rock, but which can be suitably honored in a rock hall of fame. What tied this all together was her ear (nobody was better at working out harmonies, which Linda did for most of her duet and trio arrangements); her exquisite control of pitch (losing that control was an early sign of her eventual diagnosis with Parkinson's disease); her willingness to master the rhythms and styles of every kind of music; but above all, her personality and her voice. Linda Ronstadt was always first and foremost a singer with a golden voice. When I asserted that in a long essay about her in 1978, at the height of her rock fame and commercial ascendancy, some laughed. Linda in the Seventies was a sex symbol and an American sweetheart, duality that explains the diversity of her fan base, from horny teenaged boys (and horny older men) to girls and women, who loyally turned out in droves on her recent book tour. With her bottomless eyes, almond face and dazzling smile, Linda was such a beauty that some critics simply assumed that she owed her success to her looks. But it was her voice—its purity, lush beauty and adaptability to any kind of music—that made her a star. "I first saw Linda at the Troubadour in the 60s when she was with the Stone Poneys," Neil Young wrote in his autobiography. "So young and beautiful! She blew everyone's mind with her big voice. Can you imagine sitting in the audience, seeing this girl walk up onstage, looking amazing in her short shorts, and then hearing that huge voice? It was earth-shattering." The feeling was mutual: Linda opened for Young on a 1973 arena tour and sang on numerous Young records. Technically, Linda's voice is a soprano with an underdeveloped top extension. Her main rock voice was her lower register, her "belting" register (not a "chest voice" as in an operatic contralto). Music teachers in Tucson encouraged her as a teenager to study classical technique—they heard operatic potential—but she was already wedded to folk, country and popular music. Had she trained classically, she would have strengthened that upper register, which is actually a female falsetto, and learned to knit it into her lower register. She used the falsetto extension tellingly as a coloristic accent on some of her rock recordings (for example, "Blue Bayou"), and in Mabel's coloratura piping in The Pirates of Penzance. But when she took on Mimi in La Bohème, which demands sustained lyric singing in the upper register, she sounded weakly unsupported. Her lower register was her glory, and she was the full master of it. She could bend it to her will, shade pitches, float ballads, belt imperiously and blend with most anyone in harmony singing. People may have loved her looks, but they bought her records because of the sounds she made. There was more to her rock career than her hit records and concerts, in which her onstage awkwardness usually translated into an appealing vulnerability. There was her bubbly personality as it emerged in interviews—charming, gracious, frank and sharply intelligent. There was the string of famous boyfriends and liaisons, despite her efforts to keep her private life private. And there was her role as a centerpiece of the whole Los Angeles folk-rock scene, from mid Sixties to the late Seventies. Linda was the queen of female rock singers then in terms of fame and fortune, but she was also the focus of a warm and supported circle of women singers and songwriters, local, national and international. Kate and Anna McGarrigle sang their own music wonderfully, to be sure. But Linda sang "Heart Like a Wheel" and others wonderfully as well, and made them a lot of money and certified their own fame. There were Karla Bonoff and Valerie Carter and the Roche Sisters and Phoebe Snow and Nicolette Larson and many more. Men, too: Warren Zevon, J.D. Souther, Randy Newman, Lowell George, Eric Kaz, Jimmy Webb. Linda sought out the best songs wherever she could find them, but she was also generosity itself. Her love for collaboration, for singing with others on their behalf, is attested to by statistics: more than forty-five albums have come out under her own name, but she has appeared, by one count, on more than one hundred twenty. Then again, the McGarriles were not exactly "rock" singers in any normal definition of that amorphous word. Which brings me back to my point that Linda's post-1980 stylistic explorations were foreshadowed in her rock career, given the diversity of idioms on every album. From the very beginning she was and remains a musical omnivore. What constitutes suitability for inclusion in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame? Musical excellence. Linda may have stumbled a bit in terms of rock critical respect, though there were some of us! Otherwise, she's a Hall of Famer for sure. It may have taken a long time, but she is in now where she has long deserved to be. Welcome to the club, Linda.

Cuarteto Coculense First mariachi to make sound recordings In autumn of 1908, four musicians from Cocula, Jalisco, known as the Cuarteto Coculense or Mariachi de Justo Villa, became the first mariachi to make phonograph recordings, cutting some 60 sides for the Edison, Victor, and Columbia labels, all of which had primitive recording facilities in Mexico City at that time. All three companies abandoned the country after the Mexican Revolution broke out in 1910, and nearly two decades passed before the next mariachi recordings were made.
mariachispectacular.com/timeline/
Mariachi Coculense de Cirilo Marmolejo First mariachi to record after the Mexican Revolution By 1926, the Mexican Revolution had waned, and the Cristero War was just erupting. That same year, Cirilo Marmolejo and his Mariachi Coculense—by then residents of Mexico’s capital city—became the second mariachi in history to make phonograph recordings. These 78 rpm records used the latest “electric” technology, which Discos Victor had recently installed in its Mexico City studios. This new system was radically superior to any previous technology, and here the guitarrón may be heard prominently for the first time.
Mariachi Tapatío de José Marmolejo Prototype of the Urban Mariachi After Mariachi Coculense’s extended engagement at the 1933-34 Chicago World’s Fair, José Marmolejo (nephew of Cirilo) left his uncle’s mariachi to form a group of younger musicians with more modern ideas. The most novel feature of this new ensemble was that it contained a trumpet, a controversial addition any mariachi in those days. Radio, films, and records soon helped Mariachi Tapatío become the most popular mariachi in Mexico — and the trumpet to become a permanent feature in mariachi music.
Mariachi Vargas de Tecalitlán The most important mariachi in history begins making records & films In 1934, an all-string mariachi from the village of Tecalitlán, Jalisco, led by young violinist Silvestre Vargas, arrived in Mexico City, where they took up permanent residence. The group occasionally appeared on live radio, but found it difficult to compete with Mariachi Tapatío’s dominance of the artistic scene. It wasn’t until 1937 that Mariachi Vargas made it first film, Así es mi Tierra; and its first records, four songs for Discos Peerless. This visionary group would become the most influential mariachi of all time.
Mariachi México de Pepe Villa The trumpet duet is inaugurated and popularized In the early 1950s, vihuela player Pepe Villa of Mariachi Pulido came up with the novel idea of forming a mariachi with two trumpets, something almost previously unheard of. In 1953, he inaugurated Mariachi México de Pepe Villa, consisting of former Mariachi Pulido members and trumpeter Miguel Martínez, who had recently left Mariachi Vargas. This new sound took the mariachi world by storm, and the two-trumpet combination remains the standard instrumentation in mariachi music today.
La Fonda de Los Camperos The mariachi restaurant concept is born In 1961, violinist Nati Cano took over Mariachi Los Camperos and proceeded to transform it into the preeminent mariachi of the United States. In 1969, in downtown Los Angeles, the group opened La Fonda de Los Camperos—the first restaurant to present a first-class mariachi stage show, and where the musicians themselves were partners in the business. The original La Fonda closed in 2007, but today restaurants of this nature are popular in the US, Mexico, and other countries.
First International Mariachi Conference Birth of the mariachi conference and festival movement In 1979, music educator Belle San Miguel and mariachi musician Juan Ortiz organized the world's first International Mariachi Conference. The initial event in San Antonio, Texas included workshops, concerts, lectures, competitions, and a mariachi Mass. Concerts pairing mariachi with symphony orchestra were later added. This concept was recreated in various locations, developing into what is often referred to as a mariachi conference and festival "movement." Today, dozens of such events are held each year in the United States, Mexico, and other countries.
Canciones de Mi Padre Mariachi music promoted internationally to an unprecedented degree
In 1987, pop singer Linda Ronstadt decided to record an album in Spanish to pay tribute to her Mexican roots. She enlisted the services of arranger Rubén Fuentes, Mariachi Vargas de Tecalitlán, and other mariachi luminaries for this project. Her highly successful tours brought mariachi music to venues and audiences that had never heard this music before. Her Grammy-winning Canciones de mi Padre became a worldwide hit, and the biggest selling foreign language album in US record history.
Mariachi Spectacular de Albuquerque founded Unique festival pays permanent tribute to mariachi pioneers Mariachi Spectacular de Albuquerque was cofounded in 1991 by the University of New Mexico Division of Continuing Education and the festival’s executive director, Noberta Frésquez. One unparalleled aspect of this festival is that it has consistently brought together numerous legendary pioneer mariachi musicians, many of whom have been inducted into the Mariachi Spectacular’s unique Hall of Fame. This, along with exemplary workshops and concerts, helps to make Mariachi Spectacular one of the most important mariachi festivals in the world.
UNESCO grants international recognition to mariachi tradition Mariachi added to Representative List of Cultural Heritage In 2011, UNESCO officially added the mariachi tradition to its Representative List of Intangible Cultural Heritages in Need of Safeguarding. According to this declaration, the mariachi is a living heritage that provides a sense of identity to its community. By recognizing the mariachi as a fundamental element of Mexican culture, UNESCO attempts to achieve greater protection for this tradition through worldwide awareness. Since this designation, the Mexican government has given more official support to mariachi music than ever before.mariachispectacular.com/

Why do couch potatoes live longer than athletes? Dr Joel Wallach
I went to lunch with my "Ninja" friend (he's a martial arts instructor & into holistic healing) and our discussion drifted from topic to topic as it tends to when I brought up ORMUS ( www.subtleenergies.com/ormus/ormus/ormus.htm ) and its potential benifits.
He then gave me a brief synopsis of this man Dr Joel Wallach & I was facinated.
Dr Wallach started working with animals where high birth rates of cattle are desired for money reasons (unlike our medical industry where high death / disease rates are desirable for profits).
Dr Wallach has found (through the most exhaustive work I've ever heard of) that all disease is linked to malnutrition & longevity is the same.
Here is an example of his work:
Quote Why do couch potatoes live longer than athletes?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Have you ever heard about professional athletes dropping dead on the field? According to the Center for Disease Control in Atlanta, 100,000 youngsters, as well as pros die each year from cardio-vascular disorders as a result of sports -THIS IS TWICE THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE THAT DIE ON THE NATIONS HIGHWAYS! 45,000 of the 100,000 play basketball, not boxing or football. In hard exercise, people sweat out many of their vital minerals - not just sodium and potassium. Rigorous exertion without replacing lost minerals can be fatal. There are sports drinks that are supposed to replace nutrients lost during exertion, these would work fine if they had more than sugar, salt and potassium, and food coloring.
Dr. Wallach has a unique hobby, collecting MD obituaries. Here is one case: A recent favorite of mine is Dr. W.T.N., 48, captain of the 'Dream Team' of cardiologists who cared for the late Reggie Lewis, 27, captain of the Boston Celtics. (Reggie Lewis died of a cardio-myopathy heart attack." A simple computer search at the library would have turned up the large-scale study showing the only known reason for cardiomyopathy to be a simple selenium deficiency.) THE TROUBLE WITH MODERN MEDICINE IS THAT THE PROFESSION IS SLOW TO APPLY THEIR OWN RESEARCH. Guess who pays the price of ignorance?
Dr. W.T.N. taught at Harvard, was cardiac expert for NBA, and finished the Boston Marathon three times. You guessed it- he died one and a half years after Reggie from the same type of heart attack. Dr. W.T.N. forgot that the human body needs something more than drugs, pacemakers and surgery. They both died from mineral deficiencies.
Why are athletes dropping dead at early ages? Why are they not faring as well compared to couch potato's? That's because athlete's sweat more in 5 years than couch potato's do in 75 years. And when you sweat your not just sweating out water or Gatorade, your sweating out a soup that contains all 60 essential minerals and they are called essential minerals because if any of them are missing for any length of time, you get some horrible degenerative disease, many of which are life threatening. So this is a no brainer folks...
Who is more likely to die of a life threatening mineral deficiency disease, an athlete sweating out quarts and quarts of this mineral rich soup everyday or a couch potato in an air conditioned den, laying on the couch belching and flipping through the channels?
Now the bottom line message here is this, you don't need to be an athlete to sweat, you can be in the military doing your training. You could be a roofer, a carpenter, an electrician, a plumber, a carpet layer, you can be a farmer, you could be a dance instructor, you could work in a bakery, you could work in an air conditioned insurance agency where its so cold like it is in here you could hang meat in there you know, never sweat at your work place, an then you know your being inactive so you join a health club, where you go sweat 3 nights a week. Unless your replacing the minerals your sweating out, your not going to make it to 100. Your going to be sick and miserable the last 12 to 15 years of your life. Exercise without supplementation is suicide. Exercise without supplementation is a negative, not a positive. Just like running your car without oil.
The next medical dogma or lie were going to look at has to do with this salt thing. Believe it or not how many of you have ever heard that using the salt shaker is going to increase your risk of high blood pressure, heart attack, stroke, you got to be dead in America not to have heard that one. What's the first thing a farmer puts out to live stock? Salt block isn't it. There's nobody out in the pasture telling a cow she is limited to one lick a day is there. And I refuse to believe that my human patients are dumber than a cow. So I say go ahead and pick up a salt shaker and lightning won't strike you, salt your food with impunity, you can salt your body, nothing bad is going to happen. Go ahead and do it. 98% of my patients love it, they bring me hundreds of new patients every month who want to use salt and not feel guilty about it. And the 2%, the bean counters, they say Wallach we love and respect you, but we have this high priced cardiologist who says your flying in the face of all the weighted medical evidence. You can't tell people they can use salt, they are going to get hypertension and heart disease and stroke.
Well I have been redeemed on my view on salt. This came out in 1997. This was presented at the annual meeting of the American Heart Association, not the National Inquirer, this was in Portland Oregon. Doctors lack proof that to much salt is unhealthful. After years of telling people, healthy people that too much salt isn't good for them, researchers still don't have solid evidence to back up that claim. Now what do doctors call people who give unsubstantiated health or medical advice for a profit? Call them quacks don't they, absolutely. So if you have a doctor and I don't care if they are an Orthodox doctor or an alternative doctor, if they say to cut back on salt, you say doc, you're a quack. Your giving me unsubstantiated health and medical advice for a profit. There's not a single study, not a single study, which shows that restricting salt will reduce your risk of high blood pressure.
"Dr. Wallach"
He is also an author:
"Dead Doctors Don't Lie".
Quote The Title "Dead Doctors Don't Lie" was created by Dr. Joel Wallach after years of research on the subject of health and longevity. Dr. Wallach discovered that the life span of the average doctor in America is several years shorter than that of the average couch potato. Dr. Wallach began collecting obituaries of doctors only to find that many were dying of simple nutritional deficiencies. If doctors really knew the truth about health and longevity they should be living longer than anyone else, not dying sooner. This premature death pattern proves that doctors are missing some key elements when it comes to understanding what it takes to live a longer healthier life, hence was born the title... "Dead Doctors Don't Lie".

ANGEL IN THE MORNINGAngel In The Morning" Linda Ronstadt & Yanka RupkinaRupkina, Yanka Yanka Rupkina was born in the village of Bogdanovo, Burgas region on 15 August 1938. She grew up in a family for whom the Strandja Mountain folk songs were part of both work and pastime. Thus, Yanka was introduced to the special techniques of the Strandja singing by her grandmother. In 1960 she earned her first prize - at the folklore festival in Gramatikovo. This was the acknowledgement from specialists for her outstanding talent and the purity of her unique Strandja style of singing.
In 1961 following her success at a contest, Yanka Rupkina joined the Bulgarian National Radio Folk Song Ensemble that was later known as La Mystere Des Voix Bulgares. At the end of the 1970's Yanka Rupkina, together with Eva Georgieva and Stoyanka Boneva teamed up for the Trio Bulgarka. With the Trio Bulgarka, she provided vocal harmonies on Kate's albums The Sensual World and The Red Shoes.
Rupkina subsequently performed as a solist for the national television and radio Bulgaria group, the Balkana. In 2005 she released a solo album 'Keranka', featuring guest appearances by Linda Ronstadt and Positive Black Soul.Kate BushYanka Rupkina says – “Producer Joe Boyd had followed my singing career, listened to me at the Koprivshtitsa Folk Festival and decided to invite me for some joint projects. It was he who described the Bulgarian folk songs as a phenomenon in music. We toured the world with the Balkana Band, which included some of the best folk music instrumentalists from the BNR Folk Band. For me an unforgettable moment was our concert at the Royal Festival Hall, in London, when George Harrison arrived with friends from California. This was a most emotional encounter – one of the Beatles had come to listen to me – and to our Bulgarian folk songs.”
Sounds from The Stranja Mountains
“I’ve never worked with a woman on such an intense creative level,” Bush told the Los Angeles Times, in December 1991, “because, it was strange to feel this very strong female energy in the studio. It was interesting to see the way the men in the studio reacted too, because instead of just one female, there was a very strong female presence.”
Composer Robert de Groot
This is the point when film composer Robert Jelmer De Groot arrived on the scene. Famous for his score for the film ‘The Seven Samurai,’ he too became fascinated by the voice of Yanka Rupkina, and the melancholy sound of the Stranja Mountains. He spent some time in Sofia, from 1997 onwards, composing and recording at the National Bulgarian Recording Studios. He explained that despite the dated equipment, they produced a warm pink sound, and were very good at production, with good studio musicians and engineers. Perhaps, at times, we all forget what Bulgaria is good at, and the latent talent kept hidden away in the wings.

Habbo Beem Published on Sep 9, 2009 This Bulgarian traditional song is performed by the Bulgarian legend: 'Yanka Rupkina' who discovered the healing power of her own voice during the recovering from a plane crash in the Rhodope Mountains. Additional music compositions and arrangements by Habbo Beem. Album concept and production by Robert Jelmer de Groot. Music production, video concept & editing by Habbo Beem. Film footage from: 'The Seven Samurai', an Akira Kurosawa film.
This was also when I moved into the picture. Robert had an idea for a track which would be shared by Linda Ronstadt, Yanka Rupkina, the Dutch Symphony Orchestra and chorus. To be engineered and put together in Sofia, he needed some lyrics for Linda to sing. This was when Angel of the Morning – demon of the night – first found its way into being.
Angel of The Morning Yanka Rupkina & Linda Ronstadt
The most famous voice of the Strandja Mountain, Southeastern Bulgaria, belongs not only to Bulgaria but to the whole world. Fifty years on stage – as a solo artist, or as member of Bulgarka Trio, The Balkana Band and various folk choirs, Bulgarian folk singer Yanka Rupkina has won the love of audiences, and the respect of reviewers, with hеr enigmatic Strandja songs.
But she is also a part of my life, and through both she and Robert, I found that my world could get bigger, despite the crushing mediocrity and the bureaucratic tinkering we all suffered from in Bulgaria at the time, and the state suppression – that all artists felt – during communism. Now 78 years of age, Yanka still performs and has for many years enjoyed star status in the Balkans, and long may she keep singing!

TELLING ME LIES
"Telling Me Lies" is a song written by Linda Thompson and Betsy Cook, which was included on Thompson's 1985 One Clear Moment album (her first solo album, after divorcing husband and former collaborator Richard Thompson). A more famous recording of the song, however, was Linda Ronstadt, Dolly Parton and Emmylou Harris's version, which they included on their 1987 collaboration Trio. The song was also released as the album's second single, and it reached the top ten on the U.S. country singles charts in the fall of 1987. Parton, Ronstadt and Harris' recording of the song was nominated for a Grammy award in 1988 for Country Song of the Year.

written by Linda Thompson and Betty Cook © 1985 Linda Thompson / Firesign Music Ltd.
They say a woman's a fool for weeping A fool to break her own heart But I can't hold the secret I'm keeping I'm breaking apart
Can't seem to mind my own business Whatever I try turns out wrong I seem like my own false witness And I can't go on
I cover my ears I close my eyes Still hear your voice and it's telling me lies Telling me lies
You told me you needed my company And I believed in your flattering ways Told me you needed me forever Nearly gave you the rest of my days
Should've seen you for what you are Should never have come back for more Should've locked up all my silver Brought the key back to your door
I cover my ears I close my eyes Still hear your voice and it's telling me lies Telling me lies
You don't know what a chance is Until you have to seize one You don't know what a man is Until you have to please one Don't put your life in the hands of a man With a face for every season Don't waste your time in the arms of a man Who's no stranger to treason
I cover my ears I close my eyes Still hear your voice and it's telling me lies Telling me lies
I cover my ears I close my eyes Still hear your voice and it's telling me lies I cover my ears I close my eyes Still hear your voice and it's telling me lies
