1). Is "Silver Water" - Colloidal Silver - for You?
When - through the great LDN support group - I finally found an MD/ND who would write me a prescription for Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN), I informed him I was drinking at least a couple of quarts of Colloidal Silver water each day. The well meaning doctor admitted he was not familiar with this approach to MS but said that he was concerned with the "Heavy metal" aspect.

2). Hearing Impaired? Hearing Aids? Advice for “Deafies” and those who put up with us
I have always had a hearing impairment. I was born with a 70% hearing loss in both ears. While I had a mother who was sensitive to my disability, I never believed there was anything wrong wth me. As a child, I refused to wear hearing aids.

When, at 19 years-of-age, I bought one hearing aid, it was as if someone turned the sound up. I felt even more invincible.

3). Life After Multiple Sclerosis ~ An MS Patient Goes Public!
About the author, MS, and Why FSBO (in his own words):

I retired from real estate in SW Washington, but only when I could no longer walk. Over three years previous, the doctors had said I needed to "Get rid of stress and stop working." In denial, I was slow to accept Multiple Sclerosis. Who, after all, would embrace a diagnosis of the dread disease of no known cause, and for which there was no cure? I continued to operate my own real estate company, increasing the number of experienced agents who required less hands-on supervision.

4). Marketing a Website via Ezine Article
The purpose of this brief article is to solicit some traffic to my website http://MilesBooks.com. As a disabled author, of little means, I am unable to pour in the massive dollars necessary to make my thriller~mystery novel For Sale By Owners:FSBO a bestseller. Okay, so maybe it isn’t bestseller material anyway? I have posted some Chapter Samples there to allow potential book buyers to taste some of the flavor and meet several of my major characters.

5). Some Things Should Change ~ Like Websites
There are some “Things” that will never change ~ like my love for my children! Even if they do some “Stupid Things,” I am still going to love each of my kids. Sure, I may be dissappointed in them ~ because they don’t really want my advice and probably won’t take it. Maybe, because they don’t visit as often as I would would like? Perhaps, I feel that they could have made some better choices? Yet, these “Things” will not lesson my love for my kids.

6). "Pushy" Deaf Kid's Mom
There are some things that we as persons, born on this planet, have no control over. Our own birth defects are included in that scenario. While there are those who believe that we ourselves choose what obstacles we must face and overcome in this life, prior to our earthly birth, I am not one who buys that. I did not choose to be born deaf.

Be that what it may, I was entered this world with a 70% hearing loss in both ears.

7). Make Your Website Something Worth Coming Back To
I am no Internet “Guru.” I do hope that ~ if I visit your website ~ I will find 1st what I am looking for, and 2nd a reason to return to your site at another time.

While this may fly in the face of many who know much more about Internet marketing than I ever will, I hope to encourage those who maybe ~ have a small business or personal website that ~ feel like they have failed to reach the masses.

8). Developing Spiritual Understanding ~Part 2
John 14:6

Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.

Wow! That seems pretty restrictive, doesn’t it? As a child, and then for years, I pondered the dilemma of how a Good God could automatically condemn the millions of poor souls who had never heard of Jesus and never would.

The clear answer I have received is, “He doesn’t.

9). Developing Spiritual Understanding ~Part 1
John 14:6

Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.

My Developing Spiritual Understandings: by Russ Miles © 2004~05

Philipp 3:12

Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect; but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own.

Having asked God ~ in the Name of His son, Jesus ~ for wisdom and insight, I begin the work of resolving some of my own theological conflicts.

10). Poetry “Reborn” Emerges In Thriller Mystery Novel
Since Mohamed Ali–then Cassius Clay–announced that he had written “The world’s shortest poem,” I have known that I would be a poet. “ME? WHEE!” His triumphant proclamation evoking shivers within my troubled teenaged identity, for I reasoned in rhyme.

Everyday, hundreds-of-thousands of seemingly sane souls satisfy some innate need to bare their concealed character via atrocious alliteration or in delusional doggerel.

11). Perminant Progressive MS (Multiple Sclerosis) One Victim's Dated Report
Labor Day ~ 2005

When, a couple of years ago, I wrote an article about my dread disease, I still had not fully comprehended how disabling Perminant Progressive MS can become. I had come to realize that my denial had delayed acceptance of the diagnosis, my fear had stampeded me to stupid decisions, and had found ~ by writing a novel ~ I could dispel depression.

12). Developing Spiritual Understanding ~Part 3
Matthew 12:31

"Therefore I say to you, any sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven people, but blasphemy against the Spirit shall not be forgiven.

Matthew 12:32

"Whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man, it shall be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, either in this age or in the age to come.

13). How Evil Gains Entry
With fierce crime on an increase, eager For Sale By Owners, are often slack in their judgment of just how dangerous such a thrift venture is. Husbands become homicides, wives are ravaged, families forever devastated, all because invincible men are anxious to sell homes themselves to people who-they only want to believe–are qualified buyers.

What would For Sale By Owners do if they knew they were really buying trouble?

As a retired real estate broker, I feel qualified to shed some light on this, all too often, evaded area of concern.

14). Developing Spiritual Understanding ~ Part 4 ~ Some Conclusions
Acts 19:5

5 When they heard [this,] they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. 6 And when Paul had laid hands on them, the Holy Spirit came upon them, and they spoke with tongues and prophesied. 7 Now the men were about twelve in all.

Acts 19:5

5 When they heard [this,] they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. 6 And when Paul had laid hands on them, the Holy Spirit came upon them, and they spoke with tongues and prophesied.

15). Cyber Land Rush
It's like a "Land Rush!"

As a real estate broker for years, I had always dreamed of having the perfect properties to sell ~ and at the right prices. I spent a small fortune attempting to attract sellers, acquiring licenses, recruiting competent agents, maintaining nice offices, and then ~ to bring in the buyers ~ on advertising.

After being forced to retire from real estate by MS (Multiple Sclerosis), I finally stumbled upon the easiest properties in the world to sell that I'd ever seen: "Domains" in "Cyberspace.
