Re: It's ALL about TESTING

Dear Kalliopi,

I'm blushing.

I meant that marketing is all about addiction. (I edited my post.)

I've been looking for ways to test with certainty for years. I've pestered alternative health care people to teach me. My own efforts were always inconclusive.

Then, not long ago, I read of Dr. Emoto's work with words...and that we are often unaware of what we are creating.

And, that a university has proven scientifically, beyond all doubt, that it is impossible to have a thought that DOESN'T affect us physically.

I've also been very curious about 'placebos'. If the placebo effect is considered 'real', in some people, why aren't placebo pills given to everyone first, on the chance of improving the health of some?

Your evidence that an MSG-addicted person automatically reaches for a 'fix' is stunning.

My thought processes suggest that it may be possible for anyone to adjust their thinking, their preference, to detect foods that give only radiant well-being.

Or, if Dr. Emoto is correct, that one's spoken or written words can actually change the quality of the food before us.

A small story:

About 1975 to 1982 we took our young son to a particular restaurant approximately once a week. The restaurant advertised 'No MSG'.

Within 5 minutes of entering the establishment, our boy would tell me that his back hurt.

I couldn't figure out why for years.

Could it be all in his head? Could it be that the heavy metal chairs disagreed with him? There were lots of reasons that could possibly be the cause. Perhaps the low lighting in the restaurant bothered his eyes.

You guessed it! I became certain that it was the Mono-Sodium-Glutamat (Natrium Glutamat) when I read that the substance can give backaches. He has suffered ever since...often a while after exposure.

In those early days, all we had to do was go into the restaurant and sit down, for him to react....before he had tasted one bite!

I think his body knew; perhaps it was his sense of smell; or even the tiny glands in the nose that deliver pheromones directly into the center of the brain.


There is another point that I need to remember. I have owned a grocery store. I had to learn the processes of business, at least as far as concerned my type and size of store. I also worked in banks, and I learned the number work.

When I write about 'marketing', I need to remember that most people don't know even the small amount I learned by doing.

The whole point of business is to exchange the dollar in the customer's pocket for a good or service they want.

You are perfectly right, Kalliopi. Once we have a way of testing/knowing the value of the item to our health, we are empowered to ask for exactly what we want...and to know if we are getting it.

My point is that suppliers will make far more money by pleasing customers than they have ever dreamed of...as long as they catch on that the prices need to be within reach of everyone.

'Selling' has taken the odd route that we see in the marketplace today because few of the decision-makers are real entrepreneurs (risk-takers) with vision. So many business owners/operators feel they need a 'formula' to guarantee profits. They stick to 'the same old way' out of desperation.

If WE show them what we really want, and the price we will pay, while leaving the stuff we don't want on the shelves gathering dust, we will get their immediate and full attention.

Testing, of course, is the way, as you have discovered.

...And seeing if our health improves.

Now I need to go and eat some supper.

We went to a fair today. Organic growers were offering seeds and plants and tasty products and growing methods. We loved it.

All my best,
