Just to keep the long story short–I’m concerned with the state of poor health that we are all suffering and I want to know what’s the one health-related issue that is keeping you up at night…

Is it diabetes? Heart disease? Arthritis? Obesity?
Or even something mental–depression? ADHD? Stress?

My name is Burt Goldman. I’m one of those “lucky people” who discovered a secret early in life. For the last 50 years, I have been traveling the world and meeting and studying spiritual masters from every inch of our planet. Now, at the age of 82, I’m ready to share with the world what I have learned. I started this blog to be able to share with you my most valuable teachings and insights I have gained over the past few decades. Here, you’ll find plenty of valuable information on meditation, energy healing, spirituality, and my latest revelation, Quantum Jumping. I look forward to connecting with you and I sincerely hope you enjoy being a part of this blog.





Perhaps it is self esteem (lack thereof) which can manifest itself in performance anxiety.
I need more information about sickle circel anemia
Hi, Burt–
I have some problems lately with sleeping I am a apnea patient and also diabetic type 2. I am full of stress lately not only regarding my health but also regarding my life and all thre resonsibilities I have created. when I wake up once in the night it take me quite some time to get asleep again, what is your recommendation.
I can tell you that most of your meditation lessons are things that I have done before myself with my own instinct, I believe strongly in re-encarnation,

In 2006 I suffered a heart attack. This interrupted my spiritual journey. I have started to sutdy once more, but,I do not seem to be able to understand as quickly as before. It seen to be a very difficult task to deal with. However I continue to try. I am not sure what I can do, if anything. But I will stay on the path.

i am suffering from panic disorder from past 9 years to an extent that i am not able to travel alone and enjoy things in life .i am now challenging my wrong beliefs and started to take the panic by its horns and it has started working a bit for me but my concern is i am on an anti– panic(clonazepam) for almost more than 4 yrs when ever i try to taper it off i am having severe withdrawl sensations and moreover added to that the medication itself is creating other bad problems.it would be great if you can show me a way to be free of all these.the doctors told me even afer overcoming the withdrawl effects i will still have some problems for 6 to 12 months. i shall be very grateful to you.i have wasted 9 yrs,now want to live the life to fullest.thank you so much in advance.

Thank you for your incredible insights and information.

Primary Billary Chirrosis…mainly a women’s disease. It is a bile duct disease that ultimately involves the liver. I also have hypothyrodism, swollen spleen, portal hypertension, and recently was hospitalized for upper GI bleed. Very– very scary as I found myself passed out. They say there is no cure just pills to slow down progression.
Liver transplantation is only cure. Oh yes and I also have autoimmune hepatitas. My liver doc says I have some kind of bacteria or virus. Why can’t they do some kind of bug testing on me? Too many bacteria’s and virus’s out there? I pray for some kind of insight into this and am willing to be one of those Medical Miracles, I will gladly sing praises from anywhere!!!! I have a special needs son, whom I love very much and don’t want to leave alone. Burt you are a special man and God Bless you for your work and continue to live a blessed healthy life.…Also to all of you and anyone reading this, I send blessings and light, I have lots of compassion for you. I will light my candles for all of us for insight and complete healing. Much Love to you all. Linda
My husband has ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease). What can he do to heal this and turn this around. He walks with a cane now, he cannot speak and he is losing the ability to swallow. Like everyone else, more income is needed as well. I am coping through prayer and meditation. Thank you for all you do.….
Love, Light and Happiness

Cancer. This is my primary health concern. The cure, and most of all the prevention.
Finances. This is my seconddary concern. Being able to survive with the current cost of living and not having a job to provide adequately
Hi Burt: Though I have a few health concerns, it is the anxiety/panic attacks & stomach ulcer that are causing havoc for me at this time.Nothing seems to work to heal either of these.
Blessings Joan

Biggest Health Concern? Millions of people not being able to get medical check up/care due to lack of insurance. In the long run it will cost more because those insidious diseases that can creep in without notice. Either that, or you just plain die!
My biggest challenge is to deal with severe depression, anxiety and insomnia since I lost my only child, my son 24 years ago.
self confidence,a little bit of hearing problems
cancer,I am worried ‚I have a friend with cancer close to the brain and she is allergic to all kinds of medications and there is cancer in my fam.
Peace is another one,all around me I notice a lot of negative things ‚gossip fighting over little unnessary things,and I wish that even my kids would love one another more for who they are.I know I have brought them up the proper way.I tried to help people out and I wish that I could move mountains with the help of the higher self.
Thank you for listenong to me and for helping so many people that needed your help.
Biggest health concern;
Chronic rhinitis/ Allergic reactions/ Lost of smell/
congestion for 15 years
Hi Burt:
I would like to know two things.
Can you heal an hereditary disorder? I am wondering if a genetic irregularity would be reinforced by healing since it is part of your physical makeup or can you replace it with what is considered normal.
If part of your body is destroyed can it be restored by mental healing? eg. cartilage in a joint.
Obesity and aching joints.
Since I already have it, Diabetes is the disease having the biggest impact on me at this time. In addition to all of the other symptoms,I believe it is part of the reason I am suffering from ED and the inability to produce children. I have a very young wife and I believe I can reverse all of these conditions, but I haven’t yet found the right mindset to accomplish the change.
Can you help?

Biggest health concern is diabetes… just keeps getting worse… what can be done (other than continue to take more pills) ???? Thanks

Hi Burt,
My main health concern is the attitude of western medicine in general. Penicillin was discovered less than 100 yrs ago. That was the begining of anti– biotics. Now doctors throw them at you for the least little thing. I believe that anti-biotics and vaccinations in babies severely diminish the immune system. By the time we are six months old we have synthetic versions of serious diseases pumped into our body, six in one so the tiny immune system has to fight a very big fight from infancy. In my opinion the system can not develop as it should so is it any wonder we have such unhealthy bodies as adults.
The truth of the matter is the fact that we can only now begin to see what the long terms effects of penicillin are now, what state are we going to be in in another 100 yrs. Obesity is rife, deppression which is a very common side effect to a lot of drugs, diabetes is another very common one. In fact my mother got diabetes from the side effects of a drug she was on for respiratory problems, she had to take the drug long term and as a result she developed every side effect in that drug and it was this that killed her in the end. Superbugs. I’ve had abit of experience with these also. Everything on this planet evolves I think we all aggree on that one. But with anti– biotics and the immune system being battered with synthetics, it has been stunted in my opnion and that is why we have superbugs, because if we were to allow our immunity to evolve and strenghten I have a hunch that super bugs wouldn’t be so threatening to us because our systems would have evolved along with the bugs and therefore have the strength to fight them.
I could really write a book on this as I am a homeopathic doctor and I have had first hand experience of some of the most vicious superbugs on the planet, I have also had a lot of children with developmental issues brought on more or less immediately after immunisation. I could go on and on and I will if your interested in hearing my views. I just hope that we wake up and smell the coffee because I reckon we are doing more harm than good.
Good morning Burt:
First I guess I should tell you that I’m a Reiki Master and a Crystal Healer and I don’t practice any more only on myself. Now you might think why would someone work so hard to become a healer and not do it any more well your guess is as good as mine. I do however believe my health is mostly because of my healing knowledge.
Recently I blow out both of my knees and my healing knowledge got me back up and walking in six weeks. But it does not take a genius to see that being over wieght is the cause for my knees. Now I would not say it keeps me up at nights but I find myself thinking about it every time I take a step with a limp which is not as often as you might think.
I just discovered that I’m quite good at making jewelry. My Mother told me recently that when I was very young I use to take her jewelry apart and put back together in different patterns. Now this has nothing to do with what keeps me up at night but it touches on your inner magic thing so I thought I let you know, John.
Underwent heart surgfery two years back to clear a block. Trying to adopt a more intelligent, sensible and spiritually concious lifestyle and succeeding. Any info to help along on this path is most welcome. I’m a writer and if you wish, can send across my writings on the subject.
My biggest fear is my panic attacks, general anxiety and thoughts that i cannot control. I am also trying to give up smoking but worried i’ll pile on the weight!
Any help would be great..

Do you really think you can help me? my life is a total disaster, if i had to write it down, i could spend weeks.
Hi Burt,
One of my bigest concerns is getting proper nutrition out of foods today. With all the processed foods, overworked fields, chemicals, dies, pesticides & preservatives it’s getting harder to find healthy foods.
Also not being able to sleep properly and messed up sleep paterns;(1) I live in the core of a city undergoing major construction everywhere. This has affected my breathing as well as the noise has been ongoing at all hours for over a year which I’m sure is also affecting me. Most people seem to drown thing out after hearing them for a period of time ( such as traffice) but I have never been able to do this and use earplugs (they help a bit). I am a light sleeper. [Yes I know most people are thinking well then move! but I am unable to do that for many reasons at this time]. (2) I am working nights 4 days a week from 930pm to 0730am. For the past year due to schooling issues. As I have to take care of things during the day I am unable to establish a propper sleeping pattern.
A nasty genetic brain diease called CADASIL haunts my family. A healer once told me there would never be a cure as the disease originated from another world. Not to sure about tht one! However, my family and I suffer many mysterious symtoms that Doctors can never explain. HJope this not too difficult for you!
My recent education from some of the remote cultures has been fastinating due to the fact that these people live
full time spans of 120-140yrs.of which they have excellent physique even to the day they die.They seem to
die young at such an advanced age.Hey who’s missing out
here?I noted that they eat most of their highly mineralized diet directly from their organic gardens and
eat alot of ripe fruit from their trees in season.
Freshly ground wholemeal flour for bread and a little
cooked meat when food runs a short.If they run short of
food for a few weeks they don’t panic as they still have
energy for about a month. That’s unheard of.
Hi Burt I have been and are in great health for as long as I can remember. Now 50yrs. young my fleeting fear is
old timers or blindness conditions that with a good
nutrient level I may well be able to avoid.
I have learned about much about the uncivilized cultures
who have none of the civilized dis-eases that are at epidemic levels,and have realized that the further from nature our food sources are, we as the western world are somewhat uncivilized as the agri.& pharma business domino’s market their wares to the unwary masses in order for mass profits that run into untold billions.
The answers to all our metabolic dis-ease lies in a meta
bolic solution. Not Synthetic drugs
hallo Burt good morning my problem is heart disease i.e.CAD, HIGH B.P. REST OK
Dear Burt:
I personally have suffered from heartburn. I have been blessed that in the past ten years it has not been that bad. Recently I have been under so much stress that my immune system has been affected with hearburn specially gas on my chest that can be uncomfortable and painful at times. I am trying to find a cure and eat healthy, but everything you eat now a days has toxics. I can’t find anything in the grocery store that doesn’t contain chemicals such as preservatives. It would be nice to find out what can we do to void all these chemicals. One of my love ones suffers from Lupus and athritis, please advise what can be done. The food diet is crucial to any disease and it would be nice to have company’s stop producing products that affect our health.
Erectile Dysfunction and lack of Libido
Dear Burt,
What keeps me up at night? Well, I have a steel plate and seven screws in my left ankle, and I have four rods and four screws in my lower back, from a car wreck. The discs above and below the fusion have deteriorated, so instead of another fusion above my fusion and a fusion below my fusion, I opted to have a medtronic stimulator implantation to mask the pain. I even survived a gunshot wound to the face. The only thing, however, that keeps me awake every night is I can’t figure out what value I can create to end this nightmare of a life for the world and my family.
Hi Burt,
Despite having lupus and irritable bowel and as a result a nice mix of arthritis, bloating, chronic fatigue symptomolgy, constant fevers…and the list goes on…I believe it is stress, anxiety and depression that I am most concerned about — which were constant in my life much longer than the physical ailments appeared. I am 24 yrs old and have just started taking an SSRI medication to be able to continue daily life while becoming more proficient in holistic methods of self-healing — but have been concerned that the meds would dramatically lower my vibrational level. However, three days in — and so far so good!
Best of luck research and the book. I hope this info helps!

Hi I’m Terry Mae,
My biggest concern is the lack of personal respect each person seems to carry for self and each other. That has such an effect on each person and how they are communicated with and the responsed feeling they leave inside those they communicate with. It’s like everyone treats each other with such a low respect that it caused a dominoe effect on everyone they come in contact with, which in turn causes every other person to show their emotional response( whether good or bad ) to others they come in contact with. There seems to be so many unhappy and sad people in this world now — that they can only struggle, it makes me only to want for the needs of others and give what I can without it costing my own family. I wish others could feel a little more for the lost and hopeless that are around them.
Cancer — it runns in my family. Lumbal Ishialgy (I hope I wrote this right) My spine is very damaged. I am also overweight — not too much but my kilos are not going down — perhaps due to my hypo thyroid gland.
When I read what I wrote I get depressed

Hi Burt,
How wonderful you are! You have a great way of putting things.
I try not to concern myself too much with physical symptoms. However, I am 52 and not much material things to show for it. Am studying now and do Reiki but worry a little about my ability to ‘recall or remember’ what I’m learning. So I guess Alzheimers is my concern.
Kindest regards,
Viv
I have no problems but my nephew(13 years)I love very much is suffering from autissm.How do I help my loved one? Pls advice
Hi Burt! My answer would be: the return of cancer. I had 2 different cancer types in the same organ at the same time, and I did not fit the ‘profile’ stats for either one of them. Although I’ve been cancer free for the past 6 years now, it worries me that it will come back. I have been diagnosed with many other things since then that are life-altering and keep me home and from enjoying life to the fullest like I used to, so depression would definitely be second on my list. Thank you for all the wonderful words you share with us! Joyce
Burt, at 81 you might think I have a heath concern, but I have no major heath concern or for that matter no heath concern at all. My weight is in line with my height of 5’9″. I eat health foods, little meat, mostly chicken (no skin)well cooked, lots of veggies, drink all kinds of natural fruit juices, and low fat milk. I exercise daily nothing strenuous.
I have no mental concerns, everything very positive, very happy and content. I have a wonderful loving wife close to half my age. I am blessed with two wonderful daughters in their fifties, many grand and great grand children.
No financial worries, and I never worry about things I have no control over or even those I have control of that may have problems. My mind is free of problems and
peaceful.
God has given me a good life. Oh, there have been many problems, but none I couldn’t handle.
But I always look for free information, because I am not so well off financially to be able to spend money on more than what is necessary.
Thank you for your free information.
Greetings Burt,
My greatest concern is one that I have been battling for all of my 53 years. About 9 months ago I had a radical fusion of the spine. My scoliosis had progressed to the point of pinching off the nerves to my leg and I spent most of my time in a wheelchair. After a 26 inch incision, 2 bone marrow transplants, 7 transfusions, and a staph infection that really slowed my recovery, the surgeon straightened my spine as much as possible with titanium rods. Though I still require narcotic drugs to make it through my day, I am much better. My husband is a cancer survivor who is disabled, so I have to stay on top of things. The problem that I have been battling is my weight. I have been able to keep control to a certain degree, but the last couple of years have been terrible. Between the pain, the inactivity and the frustration, I have gained 50 pounds. I know that I could feel better if not for the excess weight that I carry. But I just cannot seem to get a Handel on it. Your help, Please.

I too have suffered from Atril Fibrillation for about 13 yrs. It resulted in insomnia and anxiety.
Firstly Burt,
I have never heard your name in connection with Reiki. I wonder whether Phylis Yamoto or any of the other major reiki teachers have heard of you.
Secondly, fear is the only dis-ease that need concern anyone for, without fear, you will naturally adopt a life style conducive to health — you will find that you are unable to do anything else! The solution to fear is very simple and can be downloaded free from http://www.karmasingh.com/web/en/gems.html ; it’s the article at the top — correcting ill-wealth is the carrot. The simple technique to completely eliminate fear is towards the end of the article.
Blessed be.

I am suffering tinnitus caused by an accustic neuroma. It is pretty difficult to meditate with tinnitus in your ears. Have you thought about it? I keep trying. Good luck to all people.
Thanks
Hello My Dear Burt,
I was addicted to several pain medications for 8 years.….SUPEUDOL 10mg for the past 4 years. However, I went to see a specialist who helped me with liquid methodone. And I am happy to say that I have completed the program, at home. But, I do have severe depression, and I am taking the following; ATIVAN-CYMBALTA-TRAZODONE.
I have been suffering for many years with Kidney Stones, Depression, and unfortunately now.…..A BAD MARRIAGE.
I am also a smoker and fear that I will die from Lung Cancer.
I feel extremely nervous and worried all the time. I cry each and everyday, and at times I cannot even figure out what I am crying for.
I am soooooo tired all the time. I’ve stopped doing the things I use to enjoy doing, such as; DANCING-PAINTING-PLAYING THE GUITAR & PIANO-SPENDING TIME WITH FRIENDS.
I am afraid that my depression will bring others down as well?
Oh yes I have also put on 50lbs since I had a HYSTERECTOMY over a year ago.
I AM SO MISERABLE-UNHAPPY-FEEL ALL ALONE.….….…..Sorry for sounding so morbid!!!!!
Gratefully yours,
Holly
Cancer is the concern.
Hi Burt,
I’m 54 years old and have been retired just a year now. I’ve been suffering from insomnia for quite a long time now. Though I practice a little Yoga — I’m not very regular. Diromg tje ;ast twp uears I have developed Rheumatoid Arthritis — mainly in the small joints and the knees. I am under Baba Ramdev’s treatment and I have found some relief.
What really worries me is that I have become very forgetful and find it very difficult to concentrate on anything. I am afraid of Alzheimers disease and fret because my children depend on me to help them manage their little ones since they are working parents. Please tell me what I should do.
Fibromyalia for 15 years
Chronic Migraine
Panic Attack
I do take a lot of drugs and I have been practising on myself reiki Usui for 3 years now. Those help but there are not the only answer of course. I feel that I am surviving.….help me please
my concern is general health,and my lack of energy to get out and do more. I agree with what many of these people nad to say ad that is that there are too many pills in this world of wich i don’t take any thanks for your work Joe
It is astonishing to me to see someone doing this for people at all.
I love this and am in total appreciation of the news.
I at a young age have some small but potential issues that may build if I do not get them under control. I have had issues with High cholesterol and arthritis in my neck and back and it really seems to me I am at risk for bone loss..I just don’t feel as strong as I should be.
My stomach hurts alot too.
I had been foolish in my years and now am suffering for it. I never watched my diet and hardly exercised at all.
I am 35 and feel 75.
I really could use the help you offer.
My doctor just gives things that are even more risky than the present dis-ease and potential diseases that are affecting my body.
seems like we are being genetically devalued.
On purpose? on accident? I don’t know but I really would appreciate the help and I vow to share it with others for nothing to help in this task..anyone with similar conditions will get whatever I can offer them that you have shared with me.
I feel we al have the right to be well.
I have glaucoma and I have lost some vision in my left eye . I use drops every day to keep the pressure down . I would hate to be blind.
Love Felicity
Hello~
There is a disease that is exploding in America and around the world. The symptoms can be nearly every one mentioned in the many heartfelt messages here: fatigue, obesity, arthritis, heart conditions, depression, anxiety, loss of balance, eyesight, and hearing, numbness and buzzing/tingling/burning in extremities: every sufferer has their own combination of conditions.
This disease is Lyme disease and its other cousins that are tick-borne infections. Not only is it a very difficult condition to test accurately, but its treatment has become a political nightmare. Doctors who prescribe long term antibiotics are harassed by insurance company-backed ‘trials’, patients are denied necessary medications by insurance company protocols, many patients face years of ‘doctor shopping’ as they try to find a doctor who will treat them adequately, humanely and without making them feel like hypochondriac neurotics.
I personally have lived (marginally!) with this for 19 years. There is more publicity about it with every passing day, but there is an awful lot of lost time to be made up. We need to make information available to even more key people: doctors, chiropractors who see the arthritic components with regularity without realizing what they are looking opticians and other specialists, politicians who are capable of putting some parameters around insurance company responsibility and the prosecution of the doctors who put themselves and their licenses on the line to provide aggressive treatment.
So, please, if you can be one more Voice advocating and supporting the many aspects of diagnosing, treating and paying for treatments, your efforts would be greatly appreciated and rewarded, I have no doubt.
Help us to help the many tick-impaired folks who are too ill to help themselves and to spread even further information that is CORRECT, and to support the many individuals who work in our behalf every day and put themselves at risk to do so.
I thank you and I bless your efforts to bring your words to your ‘million’.
Kin
Cancer, sadness and fear of the future are my main concerns, your help would be truly appreciated.
Blessings!

I am 56 years old and am an ICU nurse. Sometimes as many as 80% of our patients are younger than me. Most of them are there because of their lifestyles: overeating, smoking, drinking, not taking care of their diabetes or hypertension. If we conquered these problems, I would not have a job — and that would make me very happy! I think the greatest problem we have is knowing what we need to do to be healthier and not doing it. The answer? I don’t know.
Hi Burt
Thanks for your inspiring mail. Me too am sad about where this world is going — seems faster downhill despite all modern technological advancement. I used to have all sorts of problems and fears that you’ve mentioned, but have made tremendous shifts in my life after doing a few empowerment trainings: NLP, Hypnosis, Reiki. Me too would like to help save the world by helping individuals in their personal development & revolution. Where and how to start is the problem.
Kind regards
Helena
Hi Burt,
There is no one thing, or ailment I fear. I fear them all! I watched both my parents die within a year of cancer. They took so many pills each day to keep them “healthy”. I watched as they seemed to stop one ailment with this pill, only to need another pill to treat the side affect that it caused, then another pill for the side affect that caused. Some were just to prevent them from getting something, and not even necessary!
I was in a car accident recently, and the emergency room doctor asked what medications, prescriptions,over the counter, vitamins do I take. When I told him none, he looked surprised, said thats very rare. I am 49 years old.
People seem to be taking to many pills, and not taking care of themselves these days. They seem to think everything can be cured with a pill!
Good luck, take care,
Barbara
Hi Burt,
I admire your purpose in life with your teachings etc.. Anyway this is a bit off the subject but I feel compelled to write this for some reason, so I’ll try to keep it short: It’s a bit of a long shot, but my problem is gaining wealth [not a health problem], been trying to find a genuine business for years. Either a business has not worked or is not genuine or I havn’t had the capital to pursue it or I got a loan then it not worked. The years slowly go by, for me it’s not easy to make a fortune or even a small one.?!? I’m a musician play jazzy keyboards. I have a lot of motivation and desire and I never give up but it’s been over 20 yrs, it hurts a bit. Sorry if I have wasted your valuable time.
Best regards. Tom
Hello Burt, i have wrote you once before and you had answered back, but unless i know what i’m doing, it does me no good. UNFORTUNATELY, I HAVE NO MONEY AND I AM FIGHTING FOR DISABILITY.
My biggest fear is one day i won’t be able to walk one day…i had back surgery about 5 yrs. ago due to a bulging disc and they say i have another one…and if that one blows, who knows what could happen. My real biggest fear, is i won’t be able to get rid of the numbness in my groin area, intestines, (i could probably live with the numbness that runs down the back of both legs, and parts of my feet are numb and have neuropathy and my balance isn’t what it used to be.) i am supposed to be getting married very soon and i haven’t told my fiancee about my problem…that will call off my whole marriage…what kind of a sex life would he expect from me if i’m totally numb and can’t feel anything? I need help but i don’t know what to do…can anyone help me at all…do you think?
Thanks, Burt
Hey, It occurs to me that this request got people to focus on what’s wrong not on what’s possible. I immediately went into fear reading it… had to search for what I was afraid of.
with love
peta
PS for the record my biggest fear is dementia… the beginning stages… when a person knows what’s happening..
Fear! fear of poverty , fear of financial limitation.
Hei,
I have got chronic back pain and I have heard that one of the cause might be trapped emotions in the body, especially anger. And I feel that I do have got anger towards my family members for letting me grow scoliosis in my back, so one of my shoulders is higher than the other and my chest-plate is deformed.
Thank you in advance!
Dear Mr Goldman„
i do have a sleeping disorder sametime every night, but anything other so-called disease, i dont buy into.As in my training from Dr. Murdo McDonald-Bayne, there is no such thing as disease.So that is my principle,even if the body is showing symptoms, i dont buy into it. And when tests come, they are always clear. The only thing i have trouble with is doing my healing work. My gift i was born with,and thats my passion. I do heal animals, but people i have trouble with not healing them, but i want to give them christ consciousness, and i cant get started as i am afraid of people.

Hi,
Thank you for your efforts trying to change the life of people for the better. I have a goiter, which I got during my first pregnancy about 6 years ago. Currently the hormones are in balance, but my body produces amazing amounts of antibodies that are killing the thyroid gland literally and of course cause it to enlarge even more. Lately I started to suffer from depression and gained weight although I did not change my diet. I hope you can help me I have tried plenty of alternative methods in vain so far.
Thank you again. Anita
I´m concerned about young people who is cutting in them selfs to avoid to feel things…
Dear Sir,
with great respect to you and Kriya Yoga, request you to identify my exact disorder and cure it permanently. following are the symptoms faced:
On 4-Dec-2007 blood came out of urine with stinging pain for the first time and hasent occured till date.
there is an undescribable uneasyness in my body since then, with weakness, and weight loss which has made my body terribly thin.
From last two months noticing that both glands just above my adams apple are swollen with no pain but irritation is there and sometimes getting a taste which is very simmilar to what we taste when any eye drops is given on eyes.
When ever uneasyness is there am feeling temparature with my palm touching my forehead but all the times the clinical temp was 97.5 which is normal for me.
Sir , recently going through the Autobiography Of Yogi and going through those paras where swami Yutkeshwar was healed by Lahiri Mahasay and Yogananda in turn by his guru and Mr. Ram Gopal. Am not a kriyaban as not knowing the art but strongly believe that if you request your inner consience which is the supreme void and if he inturn allows you to heal me , my deasease will be traced and will be cured permanently. I have got no dought about it absolutely.
Doctors are not able to diagonise it properly and some are treating for liver ‚some for gas and some for blood circulation, but my symptoms never goes.That is the reason am praying to you to use your self realisation power for me . I am ashemd for asking some thing physical but may be you can understand that it is required for the rest of my family as am the only earning source.
Sorry for making it lengthy but there was no other alternative.
Ever if you come to Kolkata in India pls give me a chance to meet you and take your blessing.
my cell no is 9831373937.
Waiting eagerly for your reply.

Hi Burt, Apart from a mild Hernia which gives me some discomfort occasionally, my health is good. My main problem is that I strongly feel that I have a special purpose in this life and am searching for answers. I feel light and sense alot of energy on my palms. I want to feel free and move forward.
Depression,Paralysis
A month ago my heart stopped without warning. My co-workers saved me, CPR, paddles, life support, the works…
I am concerned I wont understand my life lesson from this event and it will happen again — or something worse. This is not the first time I have been labeled “lucky to be alive”. I’m apparently not getting the point.
I am not afraid of my heart stopping again. I’m told it is very healthy and there was no reason for it to stop. My biggest health concern is not for my physical or emotional; it’s for my spirit.
my biggest concern is that I will end up crip by the time I am 40 because my arthritis is getting bad in my ankle and I am only 34. I am also chronically fatigued all the time from some unknown reason. It might be from depression which i have had since I was a little girl.
The Global Genocide for the Baby Boomers since 1950
I am concerned about kidney failure, emphasema, high blood pressure.
If only our food and water had not been tampered with and our medications owned by many companies and proper tests done as opposed to America buying them throughout the global empire and not testing them thoroughly.
Thank you.
Thank God I am not part of the group that supports the Pharmaceutical industry! I believe in natural methods. I used to get these terrible migrain head-aches. I don’t get them any-more ever since I discovered this product called (CALM). It’s a magnesium drink that works wonders. I used to also have a hard-time getting to sleep, well this took care of it also. Peter Ghillum nutritionals.
I don’t want to say what illness scares me because i don’t want to give it energy! but in truth they all scare me. The thought of suffering or watching someone else suffer. I often have this fantasy of being able to heal others with touch. How awesome that would be!
Thank-you Mr. Goldman for your words of wisdom.
This very good addition you realy want to help people with different problem.
My congratulation May God give long life with health so that you on servin the humanity and make this world peacefull.

My concern is about
1-Heart problem which going in to diastolic heart failure.
2-Procartination.
3-Can not take right decision,
4Anxiety and depression
5-Weight loosing.
My biggest fear right now is of getting osteoporosis, especially since I dont drink milk and take calcium tablets sometimes, not always.
I have been blessed to have been guided toward holistic and health conscious path since age 11,an answer to my deepest prayer and concern. At that time many family members were passing from these same diseases and tragic accidents as well and I ungerstood clearly that it could well be me next one way or the other any day or another. The other very stressful issue was that of (“GOD”) who why and what?… My family and the community I lived in was very christian and religious and were clearly the victoms of these deaths with no realistic answers or solutions to my heart soul or mind’s question. I lived in fear and quietly and secretly sought for the true answers.
Brother Goldman, it has been a loney journey and although I am now 44 years old my family and community continue on that same path of generally accepted way of life unto death syndrome (as I call it). I have openly shared with them my concerns and even lived by example which just goes over with them as “Oh your just different or its my strange religion”!
I feel quite alien among them and no one really notices that much yet it as I am very sociable and friendly and as when I was younger I wanted to live my own life away from them and only visit to help share love and healing with them and retreat to my own livity again ( holistic life style).
For many unselfish reasons I remained among them and it has been very stressful for me and although I have learned much with the experiences I still feel the same. My desire to find the truth and live it and share it among them is still with me. Many have come into health fads and even run buisnesses in the fields and the same beat to death of life continues.
I once saw a documentary on rarely watched TV when I was younger about an American monk. I was impressed and this inspired me in my walk… Years latter and my Journey continues Im surfing the net for interesting answers and mind conditioning exercises I find Mr Silvas method again after many years and so I got the tapes and enjoied the exercises although I was well aquainted with the principles. Then an e-mail comes to me as a link to Silva’s method and low and behold its that American Monk now out of the monestery It is YOU!
I purchased the mind box andenjoyed it too,. How ever I am now begining to realise some guidance into my dream and heart desire it seems slow yet sure…My Parents generation and others continue to parish with the same diseases even today my community mrns the death of a great man ( my moms brother) who like many others laughed at my life style and said ” oh we all gonna die anyway, as long as I say my grace etc I’ll be alright…” for me the loss is so great…
I really would like to share more with you and I will rest here for now, Please remember me in your projections of blessings and guidance as I seek to answer my call and follow the will of THE ONE.
OM peace and blessing
world with out end!

Dear Mr Burt…
Health of our body is also important along with mental growth.
When our true Body Temple is healthy, then we can progress spiritually.
Instead of stuffing our system with chemical
drug poisons and devitalized foods, we can eat fresh fruits, raw vegetables, unprocessed nuts and use healing herbs.
Herbs are best bioenergetic cleansers with
aromatic and vital ingredients (especially Natural Vitamin & Herbal Programs).
We at Herbarius.com helped many thousands of people for over 25 years.
Best wishes to all seekers of Truth, Health and Wealth.

Hello Burt,
I suffer from anxiety depression, lack of motivation and purpose, and sometimes I have feelings of grief, regret and despair. This has been going on from my adolescence.
I practiced occasionally a few forms of meditation. I tried EFT.
Thank you and best wishes to you and your loved ones,
SilentlyPresent
Hello Burt,
Thanks for your concerned email.
I’m really enjoying your Mindbox series and have seen some of your videos where you heal people.
Well, yes, I suffer from chronic Inflammation and Arthritis particularly in the right shoulder and arm.
I’ve had it for years, for which I take mild medication (Glucosamine & Chondroitin Sulfates). Of course, that does not solve the problem…
Thank you for your emails, which I truly enjoy reading.
Best wishes to you.

Arthritis,and depression keeping out of job market
I have two main concerns, one is cancer and the other
is to depend on other people when I get older.
Dear Mr.Goldman,
I thank you very much for your interest in the well being of others. You are wonderful.
I keep my mind so busy that I do not have time to be afraid of been ill.When I do not feel well I try to find natural remedies that most of the time work, I also follow the Silva System that I find helpful.
Take very good care of yourself.
Thanks again.
WOW, If you only knew my Story, and my prayers, and mainly what all is going on with me now. You would know how uncanny this is you should write this letter now. Maybe someday, I can tell you all of it. But for now, everything you say, that is my concern, the weight, the way I eat, the way I sleep and the way I live. I am recovering from alcoholism, plus plus, plus, etc.….It hasnt always been this way, as a mattter of fact at one point in my life, things were great, and I was at the prime of my life.…but anyway I guess if I had to pick one thing, outside of the entire picture from above it would have to be Rheumatoid Arthritis, whcih has caused such alot of distruption in my life, and alot of pain, etc. I have resisted though, mentally, and spiritually I keep thinking I shouldnt “be here”, I should be better by now, my spirituality and optimism and love of life, etc. has enabled me to beat the odds over and over again, why not this time, its like I am Stuck, I am overwhelmed, and I cant seem to pick up one thing and go with it, and instead I spin wheels, between wanting desp. to loose weight, quit smoking„ get energy (depression drains me as well as the RA), etc. and my mind, well y9u know I have somany ideas, I want to be prouductive and creative, etc, but I can’t keep my body up with the rest of me, and than i will say, yeah but if I could just quit smoking, lose weight, etc., but than I feel so bad from the rA and such I cant seem to do this either ‚(I want to go swimming, and same thing) so yeah I am stuck, in a rut and it is starting to feel like it has been too long„„ I am getting scared like I will never get out of here, and yet, I keep think ing I am missing something.… so you see now why your letter blew me away.…. Anyway I would love to hear from you again.….. Diane
I’m one of those 3 of 5 on anti-depressants. My greatest fear was sinking so low I would be hospitalized or not able to cope and fall completely out of life. Which is the reason I did go on the medication finally after all these years.
Hi Burt,
The Doctors say that I have Rhemutoid Athritis. I dont accept it. I know that healing is here. I need only to open my mind and receive it.
Your suggestions / encouragement is welcomed.
I’m more concerned about my husband. He had half his lung removed a year ago and now they’ve found another spot on his lung. We find out on the 30th of this month if he needs further treatment or surgery. Pray for my husband please. I’m just fine! and love your teachings. Thanks for putting good things out into the universe. We all need it!
Arthritis of the spine
Hi, Burt. I had rheumatic heart disease when I was still 11. After medication and a full year of rest from school, I was able to live a normal life. I am even able to have to 3 kids now 9, 7 and 4 years old. However, there is already a defect in my aortic heart valve. Five years ago, I had my echocardiogram and they classified me as +1 (mild). Last month, I had my check up and I am classified +3 (moderate). They say that if that progresses to a severe case, they would have to do surgery. I don’t want that surgery to take place, you know what I mean.
Hi Burt
Like many others my concern is the inability to keep off the weight loss. I have done many cleanses over the years the master cleanse being the one I did most often. My dream is to one day be 140 lbs. I dont know what that is. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. I find it difficult to stay motivated ‚to exercise with this extra weight.I am honoured to be apart of this site.
Thank you
Donna
Thanks for your e-mails Burt,
My issue is early morning awakening, which makes me feel tired and sleepy during the day. I used to sleep around 11 pm and wake up after 7 am until about 6 months ago. I also feel very cold when I am in airconditioned environments. Can’t find any reason for either.
Kind regards, Nava
“MS.”,although it hasn’t been diagnosed completely, but I’m having some of the symptoms.
My concern is autoimmune diseases. I suffer from Rheumatiod Arthritis and am forced to take drugs to turn off my immune system, which further increases my risk from yet other diseases. Since there is a link between mind/emotions and the immune system, I feel this would be a good area to target with a focused meditation.
Hi Bert,
I am so happy to have read your inspiring and thought provoking letter.
I have :- diabetes, high blood pressure, stress,depression
–fibramyalgia– which keeps me in great pain
–because of all the stress I am finding it
difficult to concentrate, and remember
What I find very troubling is that my friends are suffering similar problems. What is happening to us? Is it that we have been foolish to believe all the rhetoric
regarding the food rules of what we are to eat…
All I can say is a gateful Thankyou, Thankyou, Thankyou.
We definately need your help.
Although I am not on medications, I am a little overweight and have been taking diets pills for years.
Hi Burt
I myself have successfully managed Asthma, Eczema, allergies and Coeliac disease my whole life — drug free.
My wonderful mother refused to let me become a drug dependent weakling by teaching me correct breathing techniques when an asthma attack occurred, this coupled with being a very active kid (I used to swim and do gymnastics every day before and after school) ensured I was physically able to build up my respiratory system to a point where my breathing capacity is well above average. My whole life I have maintained some form of exercise and as a result have never been overweight or had to contemplate a diet.
The coealiac disease I also consider a blessing, because it prevents me from eating the mass produced artificial crap that people are filling themselves with these days — I cook all my food from fresh raw ingredients and eat a healthy diet because the additives in food have the potential to hospitalize me and that I do not want.
I meditate daily, do yoga and self reiki at least once a week to ensure my mental and physical well being is maximised, these stress minimising practices also ensure my eczema and allergies which are stress triggered, are in control to the point where I can’t remember the last time I had an ‘affliction’
Do I fear any illness? — no, I believe that you get what you focus on — I focus on absolute and total health and well being
It angers and saddens me to see how conditions such as mine which are manageable in a drug free manner through healthy diet and exercise have now been corrupted by Big Pharm with the backing of governments and the medical profession to the point where it seems that the first and only course of action anyone considers is to shove some drugs at the victim.
I urge everyone to wake up, look at whats being done to us, educate yourself in alternative options and look after your own health — because sure as hell Big Pharm is not going to, they’re only looking out for their bottom line — don’t buy into their propoganda!
wishing you all the best of health
Sarah
Hi Burt

I hope whatever yo have in mind might help
Thanks for all your inspiration

They told me “Sorry you have Parkinson’s, here are your drugs”. I said no thanks and found a wonderful Naturopath and we figured out it is Lymes. I;m doing a lot better, but still have the tremor and other symptoms. Any help you can offer would be great.
Thanks Toni
Hi Burt
I think I am reasonably healthy for a 63 year old and like others I refuse to think about anything that can be so debilitating. I meditate every day, as I have your Mind Box 1 & 2 its usually your program that I meditate with. Burt is there a particular cd in the set that I should use often. Of course sometimes you do wonder about the Big C illness as is seems to be claiming so many lives these days, young and old.
I currently hold a full time job in aged care nursing and hope to work another 5 years yet before I retire so I guess any help would be gratefully accepted. Pam
Diabetes and impotence/erectile disfunction. Also how would you address mind control. I want to applaud you for your effort…I am with you to help achieve your goal.
Love Larry
good morning Burt
Thank for his ocation to talk to you about health problems not only personal but my husband’s; hi is american I am canadian we got married two years ago,he was diagnose with MS apter his thirth stroke, this event made me think that in spite my knowledge of Silva Method y feel weak and I am negatively sinking in depression,getting fat; I wonder whow could I married somebody so ill.I am really worry about my future and I constantly question myself if this is what I has attracted????
I would really appreciate any advance from you!!!!!!!
I would appreciate any insights that you might have about Fibromyalgia. Thank you for sharing your perspective.
POVERTY is my disease Burt.
I don’t have to fear it, I have been living it my entire life…
Broke all the time. Work my ass off day after day after day to give my money to someone ELSE. I have had to personally start MY LIFE OVER 15 times in the last 20 years… Fight and fight and fight for everything. I give and give and give. I receive NOTHING but negative in return. I have been ripped off, guilt-tripped, pissed on, fucked over and I can blame myself for everything. I take responsibility for EVERYTHING! Even when I KNOW it wasn’t my fault. Wrong place wrong time or put my trust in the wrong people or on and on and on. Doesn’t change the fact that I am SUFFERING TERRIBLY, barely making ends meet, while people all around me spend more money eating and drinking and shopping in one weekend, than I make in a entire week. I believed that hard work and kindness pays off in the end. I STILL DO!!! But guess what? Nothing changes, only modulates. Costs of living rises, income stays the same. Lied to Tricked and Betrayed, then told I have a bad attitude. I guess I should be loving getting dumped on by now, huh? Sorry, never will… And everything that is supposed to help costs money. Everything that will release you, set you free, and make your dreams come true, costs you money. Well what if you don’t have any… EVER? How is ANYTHING wonderful supposed to happen if nobody gives a person a chance to break free?? A REAL BONA FIDE CHANCE TO BREAK FREE?? Because when it comes to money, people get funny. Relatives get worse. Jealousies and petty squabbles and ignorance and on and on and on… My head hurts from the migraines cause by silent weapons. My love has been picked at and ripped out of my heart leaving a gaping hole. My talent has been misused and wasted my entire life. My hands and feet are tired from delivering other peoples recreation. Why would anyone STEAL from me what I give freely??
Is this what I get for never really taking to the drugs and alcohol? Is this what I get for diligently seeking knowledge and trying to be a lightworker?? When the people around me only take pride in smoking the pot, drinking until obliterated, being in the holier-than-thou church club, or have fun stepping on the backs of the poor? Or all of the above combined??
Or how bought the fact that 85% of my income my entire adult life has gone to taxes, banks, fuel companies, phone companies, insurance companies, finance companies, car companies… now lately, well manufactured frauds and scams preying on people like me, who still hope for freedom; autonomy.
I am glad you are doing so well Burt. I am glad you are changing peoples lives. I am happy that you are comfortable in your existence and obviously have autonomy and sanctuary (enough money).
There ARE a lot of people like you in the world. I.E. healthy, wealthy and wise. I guess I figured that with my abilities I would be there by now (age 42). I never wanted to be given anything I didn’t deserve or didn’t work for. That didn’t mean rip me off or give to someone else what was meant for me because they didn’t LIKE me, or I wasn’t what they were LOOKING for or how about, physical injury right when I was about to succeed athletically? When I proved I was good enough and was still not invited.
You see, I have learned many lessons through this roller-coaster ride. And I am well aware that people have things A LOT WORSE than I have EVER had them.
And that mortifies me.
Because I know how many times I have wanted to jump or blow my head off but didn’t and kept on going. How many times I fought against the manic depression and the fear and the just plain, “What The Fuck’s??” of life. The insecurities, the lies of other people, thinking I was wrong. The poor treatment by even my very own blood!! Like when I asked my “rich” Grandmother for a grant to help my fledgling music studio. I told her, “Grandma, I wrote a symphony!! Wanna hear it?” She said, no. Made excuses not to listen. Gave me the cold call response like all the tele-marketers of the world that have begged her for money for 57 years of her life, “My money is all tied up.”
I keep going. Lesson learned, Grandma doesn’t care.
My disease is poverty Burt. Poverty caused by things I did and in-part a future chosen for me that I did not choose. I have fought and struggled and found myself through all the adversity and learned and have grown and I KNOW WHO I AM. I KNOW WHAT I WANT.
But yet, the fact remains; still in debt. Still not free.
The disease that is killing and maiming America’s middle class right now is poverty. The loss of income for blatantly OBVIOUS reasons. Unconditional love is a fantasy until that issue is met and made and something is done to stop it.
I am an artist/musician Burt. I want to get out from behind the wheel of the delivery truck and LIVE life. Not just exist.
But until my dreams start paying my bills, I am wasting precious days of my life driving a delivery truck.
Does it surprise you to know that believe has the word lie in it and delivery… well, de-live-ry… I am dying and believing I can live… break free.
How can I do anything good for my kids or the world or help anyone when I continue to be held down by past debt and interest and the latest versions of freedom slavery that claim my every paycheck?
Poverty is my disease. I don’t fear it, I have been LIVING IT for my entire life…
Avidly seeking my personal liberation,

Night time awakening and hard to return to deep sleep
Hello Burt,
I just left a job that was taking chunks of my life and giving me little in return. My wake up call was last friday. I was so sick, I had trouble standing up. I called and the supervisor who answered was angry that I had called in sick. The whole day was horrible, I honestly felt like I was dying. By saturday evening I felt somewhat better, but still very weak. I thought about the job which even though it paid so little, just above minium wage,was enough to cover my bills and food, not the best food, but still..
Anyway, I thought to myself “what are you doing? You are sick and these people are angry at you for not working.“
I realized that my life is worth more than that. My life is ment for more than going as fast as the energizer bunny for 8 hours a day. I have skills and talents and I have spent a long time learning how to follow the flow of my path, so what was I doing?
I realized two things, that deep inside I felt guilty. I just felt guilty, for failures of expectations that I didn’t need to have.
Expectations comming from people who really don’t care about my life.
So I left my job today. Funny thing is the same supervisor I talked to today, had completely forgotten I wasn’t there on Friday! That’s how important my life was to these people.
So this wake up call has been of the greatest benefit to mymental health and physical health. I made some healthy decisions this weekend as well, I started eating a diet based on the mediterainian diet, reportedly the healthest diet in the world. The other decision I made is to make my dream of making a living from my art a reality. I know how to make that happen, it begins with my thought life, and generates from there. I have such peace today. And I am excited about the future.
As to health concerns, my eyes mostly, being an artist they are precious to me so I meditate good health to them and cry when they need washing.
Wendy
Dearest Burt,
You are definitely an inspiring individual. I appreciate the lessons that I have been able to do so far. I got behind for a number of reasons.
As for which health concern bothers me most????? I have hypertension since I was 18, depression, diabetes since I was 40. Back problems, overcame paralysis at age 5, was told I would never walk without a cane again when I was 27, have had 2 back surgeries, a plate in my neck to support it…
I think that I would have to say that I fear paralysis, or loosing my mobility, that I have fought so long and hard for. I do walk without my cane most of the time.
Now, with degenerative disk disease, I have times that My neck some times goes numb, and affects the whole upper part of my body. I keep on truckin’ though. Don’t quit.
hi Bert, My biggest concern is diabetic condition. i feel it will slowly bring other diseasis with it.
Dear Burt,
Thank you for your concern about the well-being of other people. If there were more people like you!!! It seems to me that too many people have too much faith in drugs and mainstream medicine and in this case it’s difficult to offer them anything different. However, lots of people become interested when given adequate information that may help them.
As to me, I haven’t had major health problems. I’m in my 50s and look at least 10 yrs younger, having the same weight as I had 30 years ago. I’ve never taken drugs. The only thing that makes me a bit worried is the problem with my joints (knees,fingers, back of my neck, etc). It’s not too much, but still I can feel discomfort. I’m working on it on the mental level now, as I started to meditate and I got lots of useful information from the MindBox.
As to my friends and acquaintances — there a lots of problems with cancer and also diabetes.
With best wishes,
imbi
My biggest health concern is not really about myself. I was on Paxil from 2001–2008, I got off of it in February and I am actually feeling better about myself. I have no zombie-like feeling or actually hardly any panic attacks. I have been losing weight, I was about 30 pounds overweight, and I have lost 15 of that so far. I do eat better since I was younger (I am 26). I also meditate more often.
My biggest health concern is the heart problems, and sometimes high cholesterol that can run in my family. I am also worried about when I start having kids that they may have autism, as I have two cousins with Asbergers, one with Autism, and one with something that doesn’t have a name.
Hi Burt
Thank you for your email.
My problems are hypothyroidism, obesity, insomnia, the beginnings of osteo-arthritis in my knees and high blood pressure. I’m quite quite obese. I’ve been on on medication for hypothyroidism for about 15 years and now am on medication for high blood pressure too. I’ve tried several treatments for insomnia — allopathy, homeopathy, reiki, acupressure, hypnotherapy, the works — but to no avail.
I am a certified hypnotherapist from CHI, California. I’ve just bought your hypnodiet program. I went through it and found the track on meditation is too short to really go into a hypnotic trance. My mind was wandering all over and before I knew it, the track was over.
Best wishes

Hi Burt,
I’m posting to this because, at 61, I have no real health concerns. I take no medications except inhalers due to too many years of smoking.
I seldom get sick. I don’t think about the possibility of “catching” something from somebody. As you know, what we think about is what we attract.
I also don’t get headaches nor do I have ulcers or other stomach problems. It’s been extremely rare that I’ve taken an antacid and have probably taken less that two bottles of asprin or other “pain” medication in my lifetime.
Why? because, as I said earlier, I don’t think about being sick, and I try to keep myself stress free. worry and stress kill more people than cancer (in my opinion).
I also have learned that the more I can keep positive thooghts in my mind and keep busy working towards my goals, the more happy and healthy I feel.
I learned a lot from my grandmother who was a hypochondriac. she would hear of someone’s illness and concentrate on it to such an extent that she would develop it herself in a short time. The most memorable of those was when she developed bursitis (tennis elbow) when she was doing nothing to bring on the condition except thinking about a friend who had it.
The Doctor said that she wasn’t imagining the condition, her tests showed that she really had it but there was no other reason than her dwelling on it!
It seems to me the best way to overcome anything is to keep your mind on the things you want (like good health) and off the things you don’t want.

I have inherited a neurological disease called CADASIL with Migraine and have seen the effects it had on my father and many other relatives. The result of many strokes (possibly hundreds) lead to years of dementia and physical paralysis before death brings relief.
Thank you for your thoughts on my, and my relatives, behalf.
I have renal failure and have being on Dialysis for the past 3 years…It affects your joints as I produce too much Calcium..I am a keen golfer and have not played golf for the past year..It makes me sad.. I am only 40 years old

Dear Sir
My greatest health worry is: kidneys failure.
Thank you.

Hello Burt,
My biggest health concern, is an enlarged prostate,
thats troubling me for four years now. Nothing that
I tried (conventional and alternative) really helped.
Thanks Burt,

people without awareness.
Hi Burt,
I am 55 and seem healthy. I have maintained a good weight level years of my life and I cannot recall when the last time was that I visited a doctor. It has been multiple decades. I eat well, have a lot of energy much of the time, and I can truthfully say I am happy with life. The problem that plagues me and has over the past five years or so seems to be psoriasis on my back. It is painful itching that is always there and at times is much more noticeable than others. I tolerate it, keep a positive focus, and try not to give it too much of my attention. I would love to see it disappear for good.
I love what you are doing, and I have purchased two of your programs but have yet to study them sufficiently due to current time contraints.
Thank you.
Brent
Thank you Burt! I’m a youngish 76 — but I’ve been recently told I have ‘coronary artery disease’. Thanks a lot! My Chiro’ said I have degenerative disk disease. I’ve had depression on/off my whole life and am 35# overweight. I feel mostly really good, except for fatigue sometimes. I take only thyroid Rx — otherwise just good vitamins and supplements, and am trying to get off wheat and sugars. I don’t eat junk food. I drink Vitalized water. Thank you for the free lessons — I have to make time to get into them. You are amazing! Love, Marylyn — Taylorsville, UT
I don’t see anyone addressing the problem of autoimmune diseases. There are so many form of autoimmune — it seems to me that the environment has a lot to do with these things. I wonder if we were to look responsibly to our environment if some forms of depression as well as autoimmune diseases would be relieved. When we take responsibility for our environment, we regain a lot of power. Thanks for your healing mind. Abraham
Hi Burt
I am generally healthy but can’t seem to shed the last 7–10 lbs that I think would make me feel better all round. My greatest long term worry would be any condition that took away my independence, physically or mentally.
Keep up the good work
Brid
I have a broken L3 vertebrae injury in my back from an accident. I’m anxious that it will heal right and that I will be able to do what I used to.
Hi Burt
Like you — I am aging (over 60) but have no health concerns. I am not on any medication of anykind. I owe my good health to great people like Hose Silva and Laura Silva and Dr. Robert Stone. You follow in their footsteps and God Bless you for it.
Be Better,

Hello Burt,
I’ve a problem with overweight. Have obesitas many years.Although I’m lucky that my friends look further than my overweight, I shall be so glad to find a good solution. I have also high blood pressure.
Thank you very much for all your research concerning
this matter.
Hope also your wish will come true.

Hi Burt,
I can say that my family are free from Big Pharma. Our health is okay. I hope that will be continuing forth. Regularly reiki, sports exercises and herbal tea instead drugs.
I learn few alternatives medicines methods such as reiki, EFT – emotional free technique by Gary Craig, mudras. They works!
Antidepresant drugs I tried little bit. Then I ask yourself why I use drugs if problem is in my mind.
You are right – how powerful the mind is!
I read an interesting articles by Bill Harris, his conversations with thouse who works with other people problems and how resolve it without drugs only with right thinking of mind. Very interesting!
Burt you tell about our intelectual power which totally decrease untill we go through education system. Why about power of mind and mind patterns what creat our life don’t teach in school. If I know these things 30–40 years ago my life would be quite another. I don’t make those mistakes which I made. Not only my life would be quite different than now.
Big Pharma is great problem in our country, too. Sorry. But every human being have his mind, but don’t know how it works and how it can work for our health and wealth.
The mind, soul and spirit all work in tandem to achieve some form of holistic harmony.
Burt thank you for that you want to teach us!

Hi Burt,
My worst health problem is definetly stress as my lifestyle is exactly that
Hello Burt,
)
thank you so much for your wonderful, intelligent, inspired and philantrophic work! I bought the Mindbox a month ago and I am happy and progressing with it…
Apart from that I am an insulin dependant diabetic for more than 24 years. Things have never been easy, my blood sugar is rollercoastering all the time and I tried sooo many things to stabilize and make it better. I eat healthy, I exercise, I tried complementary medicine, even studied Homoeopathy, Energy healing, Reiki and so on. Nothing changed it, so I basically gave up, I was waiting for all the side effects to kick in. 2 minor strokes I had already.
But your program gave me a lot of hope to control things via my mind. Although I find it difficult to meditate I am slowly getting better and more effective. Of course I picture myself in perfect health and I always use the daisy pond for general cleaning and rejuvenation.
BUT: If you can find that “something”, that magical wand to accelerate the whole process and i could get rid of the insulin for the rest of my life: I would come and give you the longest hug in the world!
Have a very fulfilled and happy week,
Salsa
Hi Burt
Like MANY others (and you!) I am concerned about obesity and the problems it leads to. I have struggled with this all my life
thanks for your concern
I have been on antidepressants for several years now. Have tried to get off but cannot bear the consequences. Without drugs I cannot sleep and simply go crazy from lack of sleep. Please tell me what you think???? barbara
Hai Burt,
My biggist problem at the moment is that I want to take some time off on my job. But I can’t. If I do that I can’t pay the needs for living. And that I hate, and that make me sik. Its a circel and I wish to escape that.I wish you health and happiness! Marian
Hypothyroidism and the meds for it.
Hi Burt, thanks for your wonderful, heartfelt concern. I have suffered for over 10 years from a rare arthritis condition called Ankylosing Spondylitis — anyone that has it knows how debilitating and sore it can be. I’m trying to address all the underlying emotional issues, and — ironically — am under the care of a rheumatologist who is administering anti-inflammatories (I say ironically, because allopathic medicine and treatment has actually helped me, much as I would like to not have to depend on ‘western medicine’.) The condition is “incurable” but I know I will eventually make a breakthrough. But anyway, thanks for your concern
Thanks:) I appreciate what your doing to raise the consciousness of the planet and help us all lead abundant healthier lives.
Panic attacks, anxiety, and allergies
hi burt..
prolems to list a few..
lower back pain..sinus..joint pains and right heel, constant pain if stressed [walking too much]..
thank god my headache is not there now..
although i do the alpha centering can rest well and get a booster naps.. Helps!
Dear Burt: Besides all the above, my esteem is very low and depression by the way.
Warms regards and hugs.
Monse.
Dear Burt: Thank you very much for your constant occupation about people’s care.
Until 50’s I do not have any problems with my health, but as soon as I got the menopause synthoms, I began with high bood pressure, and I am overweight.
Best wishes.
Monse.
Hi Burt,
I am a single mother. I have three children. One of them has asthma and takes medication all the time. Other than that we are reasonably healthy but our bank account is not healthy and I worry a lot about how to make ends meet and put food on the table. Sometimes it makes me sad and depressed.
Burt,
My biggest fear is probably Alzheimers. Not knowing what I’m doing or remembering those I love scares me. I had a grandfather who had it and it was so sad!
Presently I am suffering from anxiety due to financial stress and depression from the loss of my husband. I fear losing everything he worked so hard for us to have which I am on the verge of. Being 60 pounds overweight doesn’t help.
Your insight is such a great help. I am thankful to have been introduced to you.

My greatest (worst) disease which is hereditary is DIABETES M. Prayer, Meditation, Herbal Medicines, etc have so far not cured it. Insulin keeps it under control with stict exercise, food and mental regime. How can you help?
Omotayo
Dear Burt
It makes me feel relieved that there’s somebody out there in the US asking about my health and what disease I suffer the most. The answer is I am already a diabetic. Luckily or unluckily I became a diabetic when I turned 50 and now am 58. I do your daisy pond meditation twice a day, morning and evening and as a result my blood sugar levels are nearly normal. But I want to know what I have to do in order to ward off the ill-effects or ravages of diabetes. It reduces one’s life span and causes heart attacks. I do yoga, pranayama and meditation in addition to regular walking.
Thanks

Burt,
My biggest health concern currently is arthritis, specifically bone on bone arthritis in my right hip. Incidentally, I am scheduled to have a complete hip replacement operation in August. Hate to do it but don’t seem to have any choice. The pain has gotten too severe and my walking ability is significantly compromised. I have a similar condition developing in my left hip also. i am 61 years of age but have always acted and felt much younger than my real age. However, this hip condition has rendered severe changes in my physical condition. Any alternative approach from your vast knowledge will be highly appreciated.
Kevin
i am fighting my biggest health concern now i have prostate cancer i am not taking drugs chemo or radiation hope u can help thanks stan
Arthritis is with me. I had a knee replacement some years ago. Wish I hadn’t, it didn’t work, can’t bend my knee. I don’t think meditaiton or change of attitude can fix this.
bad digestion, colitis
Dear Burt
Many thanks for your thought-provoking email. Indeed I too wholeheartedly support a holistic and biopsychosocial approach to living and health. Despite this, as a nurse and also as a person with multiple sclerosis for the past six years, I do not believe that all health problems can be prevented or eradicated. If only it were so, I would indeed be well. I believe that even if we cannot control our bodies or our illnesses, we can control our mindful response to them and therefore optimise our wellness and happiness.
Fond regards and continued excellent work,
Liz
Hi Burt,
thanks for your inspiring mail concerning the health issues.

I fear losing any more of my lung function and being unable to move easily
My problem is I hurt my spine two years back. Now they tell me I have lumbar scoliosis which could be either functional or idiopathic (from birth). I have developed a lot of problems around it including a good degree of mental fatigue … I just want to be able to get back to proper health where I am able to do my daily activities without any pain and be able to join a job and do it properly without any health problems. I want to be mentally fit too at the same time…

There are many but Alzheimers comes to mind first… My mind already doesn’t seem as sharp as it once was.
Depression is not something Im concerned about being a victim of because thanks to all your wonderful instructions and lessons I can keep myself far far from it, but I sympathize with those who have it for years and years on end. I know so many ppl now days who suffer from it, and its so sad to know of all the medications they take which are just intoxicating their bodies. I would do and give anything to be able to help them get rid of it.
Diabetis II and arthritis in one knee. Have tried most recommended herbs and minerals and none of effective. Have had to resort to insulin which I hate taking. Loretta

Hi Burt
I was on an anti-depression and I felt like I was sort of numb all the time. No highs no lows and not much emotion. This is exactly how my husband would like me to feel, he is only emotional about things that are important to him. I have been spiraling down for a long time and my family just thinks that I am lazing because I am having a hard time getting everything done. My doctor told me I needed counseling and I talked my husband into going only to find out that all he would do is critize me more and the counseler sided with him. But after years of wam-bam thank you mam in every part of our marriage I just can’t function any more so I am hoping your tapes will help but so far I can only get the daisy pond to download. I have only got to listen to it once. but I am trying thank you for all the encouragement I really need it. Shawna
Hello Burt
Thanks for your inspiring letter. You are really
great with words, but to tell you the Truth Burt,
I have never had those illnesses you talk about,
and I can tell you I Never will.. how can I be so
sure, you may ask? That’s because I just leave thoughts
like that out!
I meditate, and see myself perfectly healthy and happy.
I have always enjoyed dancing, particularly salsa, so
have never been the kind of person who sits at home,
watching TV for hours and hours..
It’s only now, lately, I allow myself and enjoying it
tremendously, to take it a bit easy, staying home with my 2 cats in the evenings, but in the daytime I take walks,
meet friends and so on..
If there’s something I would need some help with, it’s
with friends, as I tend to have a problems with some of
them.
I wish you well Burt! Have a Wonderful day.
Hugs, Karin
Hi Burt,
my biggest problem is SLEEP APNEA which is causing me obesity.
if I have trouble sleeping, I am unable to function the next day.
Appreciate what you are trying to do, and you have my support.
Thank you
I was dismayed to read in your email that once you have allowed your body to ail there’s only so much your mind can do. Many people only find their journey once the wake up call of illness has struck. Many enlightened people such as Deepak Chopra, Brandon Bays and Louise Hay seem to believe the power of ‘source’ is the key to healing which has given a great many hope. Of course eating healthily plays its part but if you respect yourself you’ll do that. As modern medicine, natural medicine and the mind can ‘only do so much’. Then many ill people will feel that its too late and give up.
Hello Burt,
My biggest health concern is anything that will make me dependent of others. I really want to live without being a burden for anyone.
Kind regards,

Parkinson Dieses. Mom have it, I see her suffer through this over these years, and there is nothing much can be done as there is no cure for it.
Chronic Fatigue. there is no treatment.
Burt,
Well, here I go again, telling somneone about my ills.
You see about six years ago I had an operation on my heart and I haven’t been the same since. I’ve everywhere and everyone says I’m just fine. Funny I don’t feel fine.
I am dizzy all the time. Cordination is all screwed up, my legs are extremely weak and I have pains everywhere.
Seems like I’m alergic to a lot of things and my throat sweels up so I can’t breath. I feel like a totally wreck.
Have no ambishtion to do anything anymore, where as I used to be busy all the time. Don’t know what to do or where to go for help anymore.

Thanks for your concern. I was married for 40 years and last August between April and August I lost my mother and my husband. But thank God I survive, it has been very difficult, but finally my doctor insisted I sould take antidepression pills. But I know there is not such a pill for SADNESS. Yes I do need your help.
God bless you, Nancy.
hello amonk
my biggest fear is dying complaining, not achieving myself
my fear of achieving myself is the fear of not being able to survive (take care of myself) if i will do what i want to do
thank you.
I have Crohn’s. I have took a primary course in Reiki. I could probabyly use it more than I do. I do believe hands heal. I have had breast cancer last year. It is gone. I had a bileral massectomy. I am just trying to stay calm so I don’t stress as that makes the IBD much worse. Becky
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is one of the most common, life-threatening genetic diseases, affecting 600,000 Americans and 12.5 million people, worldwide. ADPKD affects more people than Down syndrome, cystic fibrosis, muscular dystrophy and sickle cell anemia combined.
ADPKD causes fluid-filled cysts to grow on the kidneys. Over time, these cysts multiply and grow, causing kidney failure in 50 percent of cases. Dialysis and transplantation are the only treatments for kidney failure. There is no treatment or cure for PKD.
ADPKD affects 1 in 500 newborns, children and adults regardless of sex, age, race or ethnic origin. It does not skip a generation. Parents with ADPKD have a 50 percent chance of passing the disease on to each of their children.
Common symptoms of ADPKD include high blood pressure, pain in the back, side or stomach, blood in the urine, kidney stones, frequent urinary tract infections, a family history of kidney problems, heart problems or strokes.
The diagnosis was made in 1987, (can You imagine how happy I was, receiving my — slow — death sentence!). My mother and grandmother died when they was 50 Years old — because of this disease.
My son also inherited it — he’s 21 Years old now.
I am a pediatrician, medical cure to this disease is nonexistent.
My father just died a couple of days ago, after a long struggle with Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, various forms of arthritis, and other age related conditions (he was 83 yrs. old, had been a dairy farmer most of his life). The hardest for my family to manage were the mobility issues and his incontinence, made more difficult by the poor support systems (and they have excellent insurance) so that my 82 yr. old mother did most of his care. The most difficult for my father to manage were the pain-related diseases. Easiest to manage were the superficial cancers. The most “tragic” in terms of his identity was the Alzheimer’s, and Alzheimer’s is very scary for me because I have seen it in other family members.
my biggist health issue is overweight
the biggist real health issue is stress
Hi Burt,
I have suffered from panic and anxiety attacks for 13 years now. My Doctor once prescribed antidepressants which I took for about 6 weeks and after talking with her and learning this wasn’t a cure I stopped taking them. I am really against prescription drugs and prefer natural remedies.
I have tried many things bach rescue remedy, herbs, homeopathic etc. My brother’s girlfiend did reiki on me for a short time and she said my heart chakra was blocked from the hurt I had suffered from my father disowning me 20 years ago.
My anxiety has gotten alot better but it’s still there.
I would love to be totally free of panic and anxiety so that I can take my children to DisneyWorld!!
thanks for your inspiring emails.

My health is basically good because I exercise, eat sensibly, take many supplements, meditate, do one “brand” of energy healing, and use several enhancing devices. Also, I read about those topics frequently. But, there is a bit of problem in the knees and with impotence. (age 74)
I work with older mostly-well seniors. Here, in order, are the things I hear the most about, and that they are most likely to be medicated for: high cholesterol and/or high blood pressure; arthritis or joint pain (mostly pain relief); digestive complaints (heartburn); thyroid; memory decline/depression (usually depression meds); alzheimer’s; type 2 diabetes; and lack of energy.
The things I experience most with them are loneliness, uncertainty, a desire to avoid mistakes, occasionally paranoia, and a… well I guess a resistance to being motivated, inspired or trusting — (maybe from lack of steam, optimism, interest (sometimes willingness), and/or attention) enough to intervene — especially when something is demanding or unusual or costly (both seen as risky) — beyond what their doctors and families say. I mean really who wants to take the chance on having something fail, or feels like fighting against the tide once they feel embattled?
If you could even get people off their cholesterol, pain and blood pressure medications you’d be doing a huge service to everyone — well OK not to the pharmaceuticals.
So, here’s my shoot for the moon wish list for whatever you develop, (and develop it you will I’ve no doubt…). I’d like to see it be simple to execute and master, fun, engaging and not so woo woo or embarassing that it needs defending to family and friends. Something that will quickly (like within a few sessions) have them feeling/sensing a difference — in confidence and perspective at least– that is undeniably safe, and that will also quickly demonstrate through their own experience its effectiveness. Having measures (at home versus the doctor) for results would be good and VERY affordable (perhaps even progressively priced so it’s built on in stages) would be helpful too.
Thanks Burt. I have your mindbox and I love it and I’ll be looking forward to whatever you come up with.
My very best to you.

I too am concerned about heart problems, since they run in the family, also cancer. I have high blood pressure and have had since being an underweight child. I have never been overweight but have had a lot of stress and excitement in my life. I keep fit, not at a gym, which I really would find depressing, but through hiking, biking and dance.
I also strongly believe that exposing ourselves to as many different types of food, especially wild foods, teaches our bodies to crave those things which contain a nutrient we need at the time. Sometimes I crave chocolate, and I now associate that need with a need for B vitamins, so other foods with them in also satisfy me.
Burt is right about big Pharma, I do not trust them at all, I shall find out one day if my lack of visits to a doctor and my refusal to take their pills is going to make me live longer than my family, who took all that stuff. I go to a doctor to find out what might be wrong with me, then research alternative medicines and treatments, so far so good. Thanks Burt.
Hi Burt, I am not so much bothered about any illness in particular. However, I am disabled due to polio and wants to cure it. I have also met people born / afftected with other disablities. What should they do?

Diseases that affect brain, cause dementia, such as Alzheimers’s disease, Lewy body, Vascular disease and could be many others…
I am working in the nursing home and it is really sad to see people’s mental abilities going worse day by day because of the uncurable brain diseases. It is too much painful for their family and relatives. Those diseases affect not just people’s memory and thinking, but they may also affect their language and body control.
Causes of most of these diseases are still unknown and medicine can only help to slow the disease but not cure. No one on earth would like to end up like that, but it is kind of scaring, that you cannot prevent it and you never know whom and when this illness is going to strike.
This is really upsetting and it would be a great relief to find a prevention for these terrible diseases.
diabetis
Arthritis is making me slow down more every day. There will come a time when I will not be able to much of anything, if I don’t find a way to stop it. I have tried most all of the stuff available. I search the web looking for something to help. Our medical profession has nothing except drugs that do more harm than good.
I have 2 health concerns.….dementia, which my mother suffered with until her death in 1998. In the words of her neurologist…“You realize some forms of dementia are hereditary?”. Yes I do.
And obesity, I have struggled with this all my life.
The one that I already have: Chronic fatigue sydrome. It’s a debilitating condition with a bogus name.
Hi Burt:
I actually have more than one concern to share. I have been coping with Fibromyalgia for over 10 years now and have managed pain with minimal medications until 2 yrs ago. My pain was such that I could not work, heck I could hardly get out of bed to walk to the bathroom in the morning let alone function on any other level. I took medications for pain and depression. The pain pills were changed so often trying to find something to work but most made me feel worse in other ways and hardly touched the pain. It’s somewhat better now but my fear of that unbearable pain still exists. Also high blood pressure has haunted me for about 12 yrs. I hate taking the meds, they are expensive and I want to get off all meds if I can so my body and mind can return to normal again and I can feel alive, pain free and clear minded. I can’t seem to remember anything and I get so fustrated. I appreciate your help in any way.
Burt,
I fear Alzheimer’s disease more than anything. I feel that all that is begins in the mind. So therefore I also fear that a diseased mind can be the beginning of many things negative.
Burt — have suffered with anxiety/depression and thanks to both pills, but mainly psychotherapy sessions,I have come through this. Still there remains a nagging doubt about ‘could I be happier’ ‘could I feel better about myself’ ‘what is the answer to these questions?’
I am 52 , lovely wife , 3 almost grown up great kids , quite well off financially now compared to lots , plenty of sporting interests — BUT — happy? — don’t think so but don’t know why — sounds ungrateful , sounds selfish , sounds self focused.
I am not religious and never will be(don’t believe in all that stuff)- I have opinions which are hard to change yet I still see a glimour of light in your messages — can’t quite reach out to get it though — suggestions for my next step from anyone most appreciated!
Hello Burt,
I’d have to say that even though I pretend that it dosen’t bother me I reckon that cancer is an issue, a few people in my family have been affected by it and everyone in my community just assumes when someone gets ill or dies that it has to be some form of cancer. Why can’t we stay active and healthy and just die from old age any more?
Tricia
Hi Burt,
your e-mail reached me and hit me deeply.
Well, I could see and feel your real desire to help your neighbour and people with health or mental problems.
I love the opportunity to collaborate and get your help to heal my body as the mind and spiritual parts are in the right pass, I think. To be short, three years ago I detected adenocarcinoma at prostate and, after hard try to operate without success I remained only in the spiritual aspect of the solution . The 12th of this July I attended an annual peregrination to a very know religious site and asked to Our Lady of Nativity for cure of that disease. Well, your offer came as one answer and I am to your disponibolity to receive everything you think I should do.
God bless you. Regards. PS– As you know I am a Silva Mind Graduate.
Diabetes. High blood pressure. Chronic pain.
Depression. I am taking medication for each of these and I am finally feeling better.
Dear Mr. Goldman,
many thanks for keeping me updated. I have never had big conscious worries about my health, even if it isn’t always so good. But now I started to think positive (since not so long ago) and I expect life will always improve, and health too.
Many thanks again,
Lara
Burt: Thank you for the great programs.
My concern is hypertension, heart health and risk of stroke. I have been on hypertension medications for 28 years. However the medications really are not very effective. I currently have to take three different kinds.
Interestingly, on one occasion while meditating, I took my blood pressure, it was normal range (120/80). when not meditating it goes back up again. I have come to believe that the primary cause is hidden stress programs in my head, which were not active when meditating. If you had something which could help locate and change or remove them that would be great. Perhaps many other illnesses have a primary cause in the mind rather than elsewhere in other areas of the body. Thank You, I will be watching your blog for ideas.
PEACE AND LOVE TO YOU AS YOU ARE GENUINE, AND MOST WONDERFUL TO SHARE WITH ENTHUSIASM AND EXUBERANCE YOUR KNOWLEDGE, VISION, LIGHT, LOVE , HOPE
IT IS WITH MY WARMEST APPECIATE AND HUMBLE GRATITUDE I EXPRESS MY JOY UPON RECEIVING EACH GEM YOU SEND TO US ALL
GIVING ME A BEAUTIFUL CORD TO REACH FOR AND BELIEVE IN AND ACHIEVE.

I have been struggling with left hand and foot tremor, dizziness, left drop foot and unsteadiness and vision problems. Symptoms occurred following an emotional trauma, the loss of a child, and shortly after I had all my amalgam fillings removed without protection. I would be open to anything you could offer in the way of healing. Thank you.

I think the thing scares me the most is to remain alone, in particular without a girlfriend on my side, second place goes to be unable to face the problems of everyday life, in particular those financial (loan installments, taxes, out-of-pocket expenses…). These in a nutshell are the problems that mainly make me anxious and depressed.
Any suggestion?
Thank you for your interest and your efforts towards making our life better.
Kind Regards.

Hi Burt,
Thanks very much for this E-Mail.
My most concern use to be panic attacks. Was not sure what caused them however, over the past two years they are rare. I am an emotional person and my mind was always very busy thinking about things that did not even happen yet! Now, I try to stay out of my mind/thinking about things that do not even concern me here in the “NOW”. This and a change in my diet. Vegetables of all sorts, both raw and cooked and going into Nature also seemed to help. (beach, walks in the woods, etc.)
Once again thanks for this!
Blessings, and keep up the wonderful work,
Me, D

Hi Burt.
Before starting my own coahing company 3 years ago,I was a nurse for 30 years. The number of people that suffer severe, painful and debilitating diseases are astronomic. They are not helped by the chemicals of the medication,other than to numb nerve endings to relieve pain. I trained as a reiki practitioner much to the amusement of my peers, who soon lost their scepticism. I believe that good health is dependent on each person taking responsibilty for themselves and not just taking the word of the medical professionals. We need to have the courage to ask questions and find alternatives to drugs, they play a part but are not the only answer. My mum died last year after suffering from dementia and heart failure for many years.It was dreadful to witness the change in her.Death was a blessing. Alzheimers and dementia are still not openly talked about as with any mental illness, it carries a stigma. Even in todays so called liberated world.
Hello Burt,
Thanks for all your hard work to help people feel better. I am one of them and my life changed already to the better. My biggest concern is to stay healthy in any kind because my husband has beginning Parkinson, and I want to be there whenever he needs me.
Have a wonderful week

I enjoy your comments after I read the news at breakfast … gives me some balance for the day… thanks
i have arthiritis of the spine and heart problems and i am in constant pain and i find it hard to sleep mary
Worried about diabetes and heart disease as my parents have been diagnosied with this and given very expensive medicine to take daily
Hi,
My biggest concern is imbalances of hormones. The food we eat, especially meat, is loaded with hormones. Further also concern about Alzheimer. I have recently felt that I suffer to say what I think. Just cannot find the word, but know what I mean. The doctor told me it might be hormone related. When I tell this to my friends and family, they all confess to have a similar experience.
Kind regards
MY MAJOR HEALTHCONCERN IS OBESITY. I AM 100LBS++ OVER MY NORMAL WEIGHT AND LOSING HAS BEEN VERY SLOW I LOST ONLY 15LBS IN 2MONTHS. THIS EXCESS IS HARD ON MY HEART AND MY JOINTS. SO MANY OTHER CONCERNS ARE WRAPPED UP IN CARRING EXTRA POUNDS.
Good Morning,
Your email this morning is very appropriate, as I woke up early this morning thinking about my past due bills and not able to go back to sleep. Stress has become my biggest problem at this time. I am 70 now with more stress now than I have ever had before, relieved sometimes with xanax that takes all your cares away for the momentbut 8 hours later the problems are still there.
Burt: One of my concerns it’s a heart desease, or massive heart attacs most of my fammily died from this but they did not have any warnings, they have cheak ups regularly and doctors found them well, but still they die in less than 20 minuts from a massive heart attac, My mother at 40 years of age, my brother about 50, my grand father, my uncle, my aunt, they all feel like a little flu it’s comming to them and about two hours later they just die, there was not even time to take them to the hospital, they did not make it to the hospital it was so fast, that many years of my life i was awake thinking that i was not going to wake up next day, so you could imagine my panic and my worries, i also fear depression, because i am very emotional,
ok thanks Burt, Ines R
I am 61 and have two health concerns:
1.Possible “neurological?” degeneration
2.Possible complications from Ingeninal (sp?)hernia.
1. Condition first started end Oct 2007 with muscle spasm on left side pulling shoulder up toward cheek. Motor function of arm affected during spasm. No pain. Perfectly concious throughout. After full check up ECG etc, got clean bill of health. Between Doctor, specialist physician & neurologist, tranquiliser, 3 (light, med. & heavy) anti-depressants & anti convulsant were prescribed. Suggested MRI scan. Have followed alternative medicine all my life. Got very concerned at side effects listed. Stopped all medication. Incidence continued to increase to every 2 hours daily. Accupuncture + strict raw diet has reduced incidence to less than 2 / day average. Relaxed diet and accupuncture now reduced to every 2 weeks. Nature of episodes has changed — more diaphragm muscles & arm. I am investigating the following causative factors. a)Fluctuating blood sugar levels b)emotional factors c) electrical imbalance –Homeopath feels sure condition has something to do with galvanic current set up between dental implant posts (titanium)and amalgum fillings d)vagus nerve. Haven’t had MRI scan yet
2. Hernia swelling in the right groin area. It doesn’t bother me, but I would like to strengthen the muscle walls of the abdomen to obviate any constriction of the bowel in later life
My health concerns are diabetes, depression, obesity, the usual concerns in this day and age due to our enviorment and our mindset. I have awareness of these issues but somehow can not get motivated to make the necessary changes. The scariest health concern is CANCER. It seems that one is mysterious and a creature other than our making.
I agree with Marcia’s comment “The biggest health issue I fear most is one that will make me physically and/or mentally incapeable of doing anything for myself. I do not want to rely on anybody for my everyday needs” causing hardship to those I love.
i have osteoprosiss of the spine and im in constant pain mary thanks
Hi Burt, I have been using your Mindbox Series for almost one full year–as I purchased it for birthday present last year, Aug 1, 2007. For anyone who has doubts–it really works. Only thing is, you have to do it! I have had mysterious meetings and synchronistic happenings. My life is not perfect, nor am I ‘where I want to be”; but I am on the Right Path! I still have one particular issue–about working as an entrepreneur but confidence will grow by again, just doing it. I know I have digressed from your question. I choose not to watch the news, read papers or listen to the general naysayers of the world. Aren’t they the ones who thought the world is flat? lol I just trust my Self more and more and do what is right for me. It may not gain popularity with my children but they will have their own shot at it all and for now I keep them fed, clothed, educated and safe. I won’t go into a poor job or debt to try and keep up with anyone. so I think that has contributed to my overall good health, no meds, strong vitality for me. I plan to live well over 100! And it’s almost my birthday again–52 woo hoo!!! Thanks Burt. Your programs really do make a difference and have done so in my life which started out poorly and will end successfully! Blessings, P
Good Morning Burt,
Health concerns…I am not troubled by crippling disease or anything like that. I spent the better part of six years having surgery or recovering from it. The mistakes made were not repairable..*shrug*…so I am not much to look at anymore. Yes, i figt depression but without medications that I could not afford anyway.lol So much time in bed, my surgeries were abdominal, I gained many pounds. I am morbidly obese now.…about 80 pounds over-weight. That’s why i have your hypno-diet program, so we will see.…you’ve have made a believer out of me before.
I worry about stress and unrecognized/realized guilt. Stress caused me to lose my sight once. The muscles in my neck tigtened up so much they constricted the blood vessels, causing the blood to spurt instead of flow which affected my optic nerve.
It isn’t the things that I consciously worry about…it is the stuff that just happens. I am working on it but as with most things if there is an easier way…show me.
Take care and have a wonderful week.

Hi Burt,
My biggest health concern is anything that might happen to me due to lack of exercise. I procrastinate so much that I even surprise myself. Also I think this lack of exercise is not helping my son to get into the healthy habit.
Yours, Leila.
Dear Burt,
Thank you so much for this letter. I need it so much.
In my life, I have many different disease and 7 surgical treatment ‚radiation and chemoterapy. All this make my life inconvenient. But I ewer have a thought, that I must somewhat to learn from this.
I never used antidepressants, because I do not need them. I never let the disaster win my heart.
It was very interesting, then after one’s of biggest
surgical treatment I have a vision. I so all people who suffered from me and pray about me. They need more help then I, because they heart’s was crying. Why I am so appreciative for you and yours teachings.
I know, what is REIKI and want to learn more about this.
Thank you, dear Burt!
I ever know, then student is ready, Teacher comes:)))
Be blessed.

Thanks for the inspiring emails. I can’t wait every other day to see your emails in my mailbox. I’m very much concerned about stressful thoughts that comes to my mind now and then and make me worried about losing my beloved ones.

Major depression, anxiety, insomnia, high cholesterol and triglycerides, chronic herpes, back, neck and sciatica pain, forgetfullness, chronic fatigue, paranoia, agorphobia. Those are all health conditions I have been experiencing most of my life and have not been able to earn a living because of them. I don’t drink alcohol, smoke or use recreational drugs and am on a totally healthy natural foods diet and walk for exercise. I also have no real friends and all the so called friends I had took advantage of me in everyway they could. I have found most everyone is out to make money anyway they can including from people that are suffering and helpless. I assume you are also trying to make money in a similar fashion since you are promoting products for a fee. Sad world we live in that people are interested in making money no matter who they take advantage of. I have no income or health insurance and extremely in debt. Can you help me based upon my circumstances? I know that’s a foolish question to ask since almost no one wants to help a person that has no money or resources.
Hi Bert,
Thank you very much for your very inspiring and considerate mail regarding such Health issues that that is certainly a concern to everyone today. my personal concern is Prostate problem, this has been a problem to so many indivual, an issue that the medical profession dont seem to be addressing proper;y. sincerely yours,
Walter
I have two problems right now and they are both preventing me from doing what I want. First is a weight problem. I think I have done every diet with success at first then the weight comes back on and more. The second is arthritis/fibromyalgia which often prevents me from doing the exercise I should to attack the weight issue. I am in a catch 22. I would be ever grateful to get of this cycle. Namaste
Hi Burt,
I am okay till now. But I am scared of getting Alzhamers.

I have had numerous injuries over the years and am concerned about maintaining my ability to move about. Arthritis is a concern.
I also want to maintain a good mental state as long as I live.

Hi Burt,
You are truly an inspiration and I KNOW what you teach works. As a matter of fact you were one of my many teachers in Greensboro, NC years ago.
I suffered with depression for most of my life (30+) years, but have been depression free for the past 7 years. Whenever I feel myself headed in that direction, I know exactly what to do to prevent it. People who endure years of depression are much more likely to have other serious health issues and there is a logical explanation for this. Accordingly, I was diagnosed with both rheumatoid and osteo arthritis at age 32. That was 28 years ago. When I discovered how to eliminate the depression, the arthritis symptoms almost completely left also. The only symptom I now have is occasional slight stiffness when I wake up in the morning, but I have NO PAIN anymore and I wasn’t even trying to heal the arthritis pain!
I wrote a book about my battle with depression entitled “You Can Heal Your Depression Now” and am in the process of writing another one about my painful experience with arthritis.
I believe we are spiritual being having a physical existence and that since we were energy beings before coming to this physical realm, and that our physical body is composed of tiny packets of energy, that tending to our energy vibration is the answer to ALL symptoms, whether mental or physical. Hey, I’m living proof that tending to energy vibrations alone will work.
Keep up the good work. I sincerely hope you help at least a million people wake up to the truly miraculous healing power that they have within themselves.
Namaste, Gwynne Curry
My biggest health fear is no being able to walk, I have a heart problems and get out of breath very quickly, I also have arthritis, but keep the letters coming and they are very very good and give lots of great advice.
many thanks, Norah.
terima kasih (‘thanks’ in Malay) for your concern. I am a depression sufferer for the past 10 years and on Prozac ever since. You’re right-it isn’t helpful. I started with moderate clinical depression in 1998 but get better after a few years but relapse a few times since then but it since get worse until recently when I started feeling suicidal. Am desperate to find a better alternative cos’ I am quite broke. Prozac is expensive here. I simply cannot give up without a fight. Willing to try another alternative including Reiki if it isn’t too expensive. God Bless you.

I fear obesity and Cancer and Heart disease. My dad had lymphoma and passed away at 78 years of age and my mom passed away due to heart disease at 83 years of age.
I have suffered with chronic acidity, indigestion, nausea and flatulance from my early teens i am now 55yrs old and still on protium. I do not overeat or consume alchol.
hi burt i am diabtic since 1989 with a by pass surgery in 2006.now needs ur advise.thanks,hs
Dear Burt
Unless we cure the egotism which fills our world
there is no hope. Self interest and selfishness
is ruling our society. Religion only adds to the problem.
These attitudes create the disharmony that at a molecular
level creates the many social diseases of our time.
What can we expect. No amount of praying will help our dying society.Love of each other and the realization the we are all of one body, units which create the whole.
Let love rule our lives.
Derek marvelley
Definitely agree with Marcia. I’ve never been sick nor had any prescription drugs but if I were physically or mentally injured there is no insurance nor anyone around to help. My health is amazingly excellent for which I’m grateful but my dog isn’t able to take care of me! Glad you’re reaching millions. In Radiant Health, Lacey
I am the healthiest 55 year old woman I know. All surviving members of my family have diabeties except me. I believe the reason is that “I deserve the sweetness life has to offer”.
I use positive thoughts and statements to manifest a happy and abundant life. This attitude works well for me accept in maintaining my blood pressure without medication. Also I have psoriasis that I control by cutting certain foods from my diet and keeping my stress levels low.
Hi Burt
My biggest fear is that people will not take the time to learn about the changes they can make right now for a healthier, happier lifestyle. There are well-known medical doctors and researchers who have dedicated themselves to helping us have better choices. For instance: Dr. Joel Fuhrmann M.D., N.J. offers a complete program with his personal supervision and has written books about his successes of getting people back to health despite the condition of the degenerative disease they are currently contending with. Dr. Myron Wentz, Usana Health Sciences,Utah has pharmaceutical grade nutritional supplements that can make a difference.
Statistics show the chronic illnesses we are facing can be prevented. For years we’ve know that nutritional supplements are important. But what a lot of us don’t realize is that it is the quality of the formulation and the bioavailability that is important, otherwise the nutrients cannot penetrate the cell walls. We have to be choosy and educate ourselves on what’s out there in order to achieve a change. It is my mission to support preventive medicine and promote those medical men and women who are on the forefront of really helping the American public get out of the pharmaceutical rat-race. Anyone out there who has the desire to be healthy, can be. They need to make the time and get the right information. We cannot rely on the general medical profession — they are not aware enough. If anyone would like more information they can write to me at judith@just-networking.ch
I have rheumatoid arthritis coming on and I’d like to neutralise the pain and stop this in its tracks before it becomes disabling.
Thanks and good luck, Ian
Hi Burt I have bought Mind Box 1 and 2 and My inner magic.
Very good stuff for the mind, thinking and thoughts.
However you are right you have to loook after all 3 e.g. Body Mind and Soul, or Subconscious, Conscious and Super Conscious if you know what I mean.
Well you Know the Super Conscious e.g. Infinite intelligence that creative stuff we are a part of ..well true consciousness or the soul is part of made from the same stuff..
The only thing thats not is the physical body so a little stretching a little getting out of breath and a few kalisthenics will generally keep the physical body energised and health…then of cours put the right physical food into the engine e.g brain then the mind will have a better chance of talking to it…changing its mind or so to speak,
Any way,
Good Luck and may the rest of your life be the best of your life.
Peace and blessings,
your friend Nick x
Hi Burt,
thanks for your inspiring mail concerning the health issues.
Even if I have no complaints (I lost 20 kg in 2001 with Weight Watchers and since then holding my weight, making sports, Yoga and Reiki and several mental techniques) I am so happy to get your continuing support and actual news by mail regarding so many important items. I really appreciate it very much.
Kind regards
Doris
Each day I am concerned by the “sick” attitudes that overwhelm our society. Simply stand still and actually listen in the middle of your grocery store, bank, Walmart, wherever you are and the “sickness” of negativity pollutes the air, just as it pollutes our TV’s, our radios, it dominates our conversations. We are plagued with the disease of more, and ill from a lack of compassion for each other. I do not fear dis-ease, I fear for our world, where even now we have 2 more men vying for the top spot in our nation but neither talks of healing our land, but bandaging our economy, not rescuing the dying in Darfur, but of increasing troop levels in Afghanistan. One even smiles at the camera proclaiming success in Iraq, while no one in Iraq agrees, nor do the countless mothers, fathers, and spouses who will not have their loved one returning.
Thank you,
Erick
Hello Sir,.
I appreciate your self and your care for me and many others. I will thank you now aswell many times.
My biggest health fear is my hands and the nerves in them and my arms due to an accident. I have Hemachromatosis and this has an Arthriitic affect. I am the best Carpenter I know. Since the accident I have not been able to work and this is a little Depressing for me for this is how I used to relate to the world. I have enjoyed the changes aswell.
I’ll keep this short as you prbly have many to read and answer. Thanks again Larry M. Holder
I have multiple sclerosis. It’s very hard to move; I walk with a cane or walker.
The biggest health concer for me has to be
cancer, having lost 3 friends and my father
to cancer in the past year alone. Plus my
sister in law has contracted breast cancer.
At 64 it makes you feel even more vulnerable
as you lose so many friends and family!
Jack
Hi Burt,
I like everything your saying. All the aspartame, Splenda, diet pop, no wonder everyone is getting sick. I have been into prevention and wellness.…drink my Himalayan GoChi juice and feel great. My grandmother died of liver cancer.…a bad marriage.…alcohol. Other grandma 93, grandpa 101.
Blessings, Audrey

Currently I am facing the problem of gas and acidity. Also I suffer from low energy and nervous breakdowns.
if you are finding cures, find one for Multiple Sclerosis.
Thanks
My biggest health issue i fear is being a diabetic, high cholesterol and high blood pressure and depression i dont want meds anymore
General health and well being, and being able to carry myself till the moment I pass away.
My greatest fear is having to stay on anti depresants for the rest of my life. Im on disability because of it.
Can you help?
Ray
Cancer, because the media says 1 in 3 people will suffer from it, being a woman, breast cancer is the biggest fear I think.
I neglected to mention that I have no known adverse diabetic symptoms connected with my Hyperglycemia.
Heart, pulse, and blood pressure, virtually perfect.
Eyesight, retina, good. Digestion and Kidney function good as ever. No heartburn, ever. My sense of it is that what I need is a Beta Cell transplant.
Actually I don´t fear anything. At the moment. I´ve decided that I won´t think of any problems before they show up! Why waste your energy on something that probably won´t even happen??
Hi, My major health concern is overcoming BiPolar disorder.
As you request in your last e-mail, my health problem is a very high blood pressure that, despite proper medications, doesn’t seem to get better. I know I have a collateral problem which is I am a heavy smoker and I am unable to quit as I should. And this for many reasons, mostly of psycological nature.
I’ll appreciate if you have some good advise to spear!
Thanks a lot.
Dominique MarieJ.
The biggest health issue I fear most is one that will make me physically and/or mentally incapeable of doing anything for myself. I do not want to rely on anybody for my everyday needs.
Condition: Male, Age 80, Diabetes (Type II).
Present control– Extreme low glycemic-index diet, mostly raw green leafy food and sprouts, laced with 50/50 emulsion consisting of Grape Seed Oil and apple cider vinegar, plus loads of fresh vegetable juice, keeps my A1C slightly below 7.0)
Diet habit: Large, well-balanced breakfast. Protein, mostly in form of Brewers Yeast, eggs, cheese, and mushrooms. Thereafter, noon and evening, mostly vegetable juice, little else.
I’m very hyperglycemic: A single Big Mac will send my blood glucose to 350+ within minutes. Hypoglycemia has never been a symptom.
Obesity, fear of cancer.
OBESITY
Personally, my current concern is tinnitus — my left ear is ringing, and I haven’t been able to do anything about it except try to ignore it. It goes away during the day, but returns whenever I wake up.
But nothing keeps me up at night; sleep has never been a problem, nor has worry.
My personal opinion is that most of our health problems are a result of not taking care of ourselves mentally or physically — and while we as a nation are focused on changing the physical, we are leaving mental health largely untouched.
We need to learn how to think.
Well, I suffer from paroxysmal atrial fibrilation (AF), 4 attacks over the last 5 and half years mostly related to lacl of sleep and nervousness, where all the attacks ocurred at night, I started to have insomnia and phobia from night of not getting enough sleep and getting AF attacks I used to take slleeping pills but again these pills have many side effects.
Hypothyroidism.
Apparently, sinthroid (I’ve read), is ‘quietly’ the most prescribed medication in North America. Once you start taking it, you usually have to take it for life. The thyroid affects your metabalism and many aspects of your body. It’s a balancing act, — you can’t have too much thyroid hormone or too little. Too little affects memory, brain (fuzzy thinking), constipation, hair loss, dry skin, energy loss — fatigue…
Nobody seems to explain why there has been such an increase in hypothyroidism. Have read some concerns about the flouride in water and toothpastes, perhaps prolonged use of the birth control pill.
I hate the thought of having to depend on any medication to be able to think properly.
Diabetes, Hypetitis C and High Blood.
cancer is my concern and why I’m up during the night.
hi, it is not pain or disease that’s keeping me awake but i want to help women and children . i am capable to do service i need resources and place. if someone provides help i will willingly do my best. if u have any outlets in melbourne austalia. workwise no complaints. i’ve done counselling for boys and girls and women in singapore and i am good at it. it is my life’s passion. please let me know if u can help me.
thank u

I have almost constant fatigue. Everything I do is an effort. I can barely get through the day. I don’t seem to have much of a life, because I am too tired to do anything. I don’t have CFS, I know the difference. I had CFS for 8 years & this is different. I have always had an unhappy marraige. We cannot seperate, because my husband is going through most of our money.His energy is not good for me. I cannot find a solution to my life. He is 70 & I am 69. I have endured too many years of this. Blessings MaryAnn
My main health concern is cholesterol, but not only high levels of it. I have concerns about how doctors prescribe drugs such as Lipitor withour giving any warning of possible bad side effects.

Dear Burt,
It’s interesting that your email came to me just now because I am concerned about diabetes and obesity. I will be going into today to see my doctor after doing a diabetes test last Friday. I am kind of afraid to hear what she is going to tell me.
But I have known you for some years now since the 70’s and I am trusting that you may be of help to me.
Sincerely,

I am afflicted with Kidney Failure. The side effects are debilitating:
extreme lack of energy, swollen ankles and feet and legs, too many trips to the rest room, apathy, etc.
The most humiliating aspect of this is that I was laid off recently at my job and have no health insurance coverage.
It would appear depression is setting in.
Dear Burt,
I have several concerns regarding my health. I am a type 1 diabetic having been on insulin for 41 years, but up to now I have no real complications. However I am always living in fear of heart disease, kidney disease, loss of sight, amputation etc which are common for diabetics. We also have a history of cancer in our family, so of course I am scared of that too.
However, the most important thing I am worried about is the effects of modern drugs. Just today there is a report in one of our British newspapers about the side effects of statins, for example. I am concerned that eventually I will need more drugs and that these may cause further unwanted effects which have to be treated with even more drugs. Our British National Health Service seems to be run by the drug companies, and they obviously have a financial interest in keeping us ill!
I see many clients in my practice as a complementary therapist who never question their doctor’s prescription, although perhaps as they are visiting me they are becoming more aware of the alternatives. No doctor or practitioner has all the answers, and I believe that our western medical culture needs to change to incorporate this.
Please excuse all these notes, and apologies for not identifying one single health condition!
I have more than one problem , but the most is my knee.doctors in my area are bad , those good ones will charch a lot. because of my knee I gain a lot of weight-I spend all my time at home –I feel Im getting old –Im 45 years old 90 kg– please help me — I trust you.
HEART DISEASE,HYPERTENSION AND CANCER
Hi Burt,
My main problem now is dealing with Fibromyalgia –which struck out of the blue about six months ago just after my 60th birthday. Since I avoid all drugs I am taking a range of vitimins and supplements which may be helping a little. I also swim three to four times weekly for half an hour ant take saunas. All of this is helping — but I really want a cure as the misery of this disease is very life sapping and depressing. I cant even imagine how I will cope if it gets progressively worse!!!
Regards

Hi, Burt!
You seem to have read my mind! Wow! The answer is cancer, long-time panic attacks and stress.
Hope you can help me and others as well.
Keep up the good work,
Angela
