Listen to us live or download our show and any past show by googling in skidrow.la and hit Qumran Report. Now this week on the Qumran Report, we will be hearing from some voices from the community. And I'm delighted to have with us in the studio natural health expert, author, and musician Lisa Dawn Sheridan. And guest co-host Tyrone Robinson with another installment of Voices from the Ether. Now I'm delighted to have with us in the studio Lisa Dawn Sheridan. Lisa is a health and wellness expert known for her definitive research tactics which focus on natural medicine. She has recently become one of the most sought-after motivational health speakers. Her latest book is The Eight Steps to Inner Beauty. Lisa, welcome to the Qumran Report. Thank you, Melvin. I'm happy to be here, happy to share whatever I can with the people. Now can you tell our listening audience about your background and how did you get off into natural health and also into singing and performing? Well, it started about 15 years ago as being a mother. I concentrated on the foods that would be best for my daughter. We struggled a lot with stress and raising her as a single mother. There were a lot coming at us. I was very stressed. Most social pressures from being a single mother. But I fought my way through my master's program. And that was three years working three jobs sometimes. And it really proved well because my daughter was good with her studies. I was a good parent to her. There was no dating in my life as she was a teenager. I felt that some sound advice had come to me to just stay focused on what really matters and being a mom really mattered. So the nutrition came about by just wanting to feed my daughter. Just wanting to feed my child the best foods. And then acupuncture became a natural with the growing popularity one. Zero side effects associated with most treatments with acupuncture besides a little bruising. And the herbal treatments which led me into flower therapy. I've been dubbed the flower child. I also have the street name Slim Goody. It's been both a blessing and a gift to be able to be involved now with my daughter. Thank you. And I'm so happy to be involved now with natural medicine and offering real, real remedies. Real remedies that go right to the core of the personality. Bach flower essences treat the personality. So when we're feeling fearful, we're feeling lack of courage, our inability to process our path through life. Things aren't just clicking together. The flowers go in and help that shock and trauma we heard on the earlier show. How we're just not really coping as a society. So this is a gift for the children that are being brought to the flower. And for those that are born right now to be able to cope with the stresses of societies we all know are getting worse. And the legal matters that we need to face and come to face as a society together, the coping mechanism is very important. And I'm doing this as a medical mission for the kids of the future. So check out the Bach flower remedies. They have a lot. That's what the book is, the platform of the book. The book was based, and I believe, divinely inspired. It came through me in 10 weeks. 10 weeks standing up. I didn't sleep much. I didn't eat much. And then the songs over the last year also have been a blessing and a gift. Now, when you're talking about the flowers, are you talking about the ingredients in the flower? Are you talking about the aesthetic, the beauty of the flowers? Is that the therapy part of it? As Americans, we kind of think, well, it's flower therapy. It must smell good. I heard about aromatherapy. This is different. This is actually an energy essence. Much like the essence of our own personality, these flowers were founded 100 years ago in London to divinely, I believe, were gifted to the man who had every single medical degree of his time and found his cure in flowers. Notice that certain personality types kind of hooked together. You may have noticed that in your own walk and have seen different personalities. And the rescue remedy is the flagship formula. With six flowers, Dr. Edward Bach gently placed two drops on each shipwrecked sailor's leg. Now, the correct dose is four drops on the tongue, on top of the tongue. These sailors who were shipwrecked went about their business that day. How many of us feel a little shipwrecked in our own life and want to go about our business? So the Bach flower remedies are what I feel. The book, The Eight Steps to Inner Beauty, available on Lulu and soon coming out on paperback with iBook and some other outlets. The Eight Steps to Inner Beauty, the authoritative, holistic survival guide is really geared towards... how are we going to survive? It focuses on superfoods, yes, meditation, yes, prayer and settling the spirit, but the flower essences do the part that we can't always get a grip on. Well, let me ask you this question. There's a lot of information and programs and research on cannabis. Now, how do that fit in as a medicine, as a nutrition? What are your thoughts on that? Well... With an herbal... we also have dosage issues. With the not correct application with herbals, people, they tend to overdose, if you will. They don't really know how to hold back and just do what the doctor ordered, what the research is stating on low back pain for marijuana. We've medicalized this drug, and I think people have to be careful with the recreational. We all want to escape in a way. Who wants to live through the stress? So with medical marijuana, if we take it back to my studies in Chinese medicine, the only use for marijuana is the seed for constipation. So for 4,000 years, they haven't been using it as a medicinal application for stress. In fact, the smokers that I know go a little recluse, a little lazy, a little amobilization. We're not getting things done if we're not getting things done. Now, how about some of these new diseases, these new drugs? New diseases that research into cannabis will show that cannabis is probably the only one that have any kind of positive results, like Alzheimer's, seizures, stuff like that. Well, with the specific diseases, you mentioned Alzheimer's, dopamine is a key element. Marijuana brings dopamine up 5%, but we see crack and meth bring it up 6,000%. So we wonder why our addicts aren't getting the relief they need. They get traumatized, they use, they get more traumatized. There's a cycle of addiction where the flowers go in and gently work with the personality for six weeks, teaching the addict or any other addiction that we might succumb to, or just weakness in our personality, it balances it out. So we have to be able to reach for something that has a viable change. It's making a change, not more and more into the dopamine effect. That's why it's called dope and on whatever level. So. Okay. Let me ask you about, um, some of the, uh, foods that, um, that, that, that is noted for healing. Maybe you can comment on them. Uh, I just want to talk about three of them, oatmeal, honey, and garlic. Okay. Well, oatmeal, oats, oats are acidic in nature. If anyone out there studied the acetyl-alkaline approach, oat bran is a better alternative to oatmeal, especially cut instant, anything that's super fast out of a box, it's going to tend to be more acidic. So oat bran cleans the bowels. It's more acidic. It's more acidic. It's more acidic. It's more acidic. It's more acidic. It's more acidic. It's more acidic. It's more acidic. It's more acidic. It's more alkaline in nature, easy to prepare a little more expensive, but you can go to bulk foods at sprouts or some of the other outlets for natural foods and get oat bran versus oat, oat meal. Okay. So different it's cut differently. And the brand is the pure substance of the oat fibers. The secondly, second thing is honey. You mentioned the differences out there. There's so many different types of honey, so many different types of quality of honey, just like the oatmeal oat brand would be the higher quality raw. Honey has had medicinal effects for allergies and various other things. In my book, I really highlight the bee products. Speaking of raw, raw honey, the Royal jelly balancing, it's a super balancer for women's hormones. If anyone is experiencing it kind of expensive, I know some wholesale pricing on it. People can contact me through the radio. Better pricing is obviously more usability, more effective for an actual cure to something. So I try to keep everything realistic and what I represent or recommend. And the other, the last item you were speaking about garlic, well, for 20 years I've used garlic to cure almost every infection in my throat, my lungs, my ears, my eyes, not as much as with colloidal silver, but you can make a garlic oil for your ears. Very simple to close of garlic, just from the supermarket, clove into some hot, just olive oil, canola oil, any oil that may be suitable for any type of contact with the skin. So mostly pop, most popular coconut, olive oil is the most popular materials. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. oil and garlic is has a natural occurring antibiotic so the allicin has had great great raves and reviews in the research that garlic does cure as an antibiotic so a lot of people when they lack the resources everyone has a little bit of olive oil and a little bit of garlic in the cupboard so now what are your thoughts about uh the terms that we hear lately like vegan and vegetarians and what what are your uh comments on that in relationship to natural health well already i've supplied a lot of information i i am still open for questions if people want to go to my blog the flower child blog on blogger uh i would be happy to answer any emails or anything that way in case we need to rewind and explain more with body types there's different types of eating styles i've studied ayurvedic doshas so even though you were born into a bigger bone body doesn't mean that the idolized american skinniness is the healthier way to go most people that are born with a bigger bone body don't have a bigger bone body don't have a bigger bone body don't have I call them the big love they're there to give the love to us skinny people were out getting things done and they're there just sitting peaceful and they balance us they balance us in ways so we're all kind of working together but if we have that self-acceptance for our dosha whereas the loved dosha I call the bigger bone people need more salads not something they like to eat they might go for the ice cream more than someone like myself I tend to need more protein foods so as far as eating vegan vegetarian I'm not a big fan of eating vegetarian I'm not a big Vegetarian, just meat and chicken. I think the better decisions you're making about the quality of food you're eating is most important. The three superfoods I mentioned in the eight steps to inner beauty, it doesn't really matter what you eat. Did I say that? It doesn't really matter what you eat as long as your super nutrition is nourishing the cells. And all the systems are working where there's chelation of heavy metals. And we're constantly exposed to the showers we take. And chloroform in the morning and the morning shower if it's over 83 degrees. There's a lot of dynamics. So just eating better. And if you're not eating better, superfoods more. But if you're not doing that part and feeding your cells, obviously your brain and other parts of your mechanisms of mental clarity are going to be affected. Okay. Just a couple more questions before we get into discussing your book. Now you said it don't matter the type of food you eat. Now how about the kosher diet that forbid stuff like. Swine. Is there no nutritional reason for that or what? I think anything you're doing, religious diets or anything that you know. I don't know much about the diet you mentioned. But anything that is helping the system. I don't believe in starvation diets long term. Again, it goes back to the body type. Is this person diabetic? Can they handle a master cleanser diet where there's high maple? Or there's a better way to go. Maybe just raw vegetables, raw fruit. And then. You know. Graduate into that. Where it's again the quality. As best a quality. I can buy quality foods at 99 cent store. You just really have to look. We all know Cheetos aren't good for us. So it's just kind of that thing where if we're being conscious of the diet we're taking in. Plus being able to afford a little bit on the side as a super food. The body does respond and it responds well with wellness. Now how about fast food? We don't know that's not good. I don't even think I could order a salad at McDonald's that I was feeling comfortable about. So we know in a pinch. Have I had McDonald's? Yes. In the real world. I had to break down and buy something. One, you know, this year. But I try to avoid those. You know, there's plenty between the dollar store, plenty of economic ways to make better choices. We know that it's just whether or not we're going to do it and make that investment. So now is it a way to hear? How? For young people? Because we know regardless what we say, our young people is going into these fast food places, you know, because they fear their peers go up in there. The Burger Kings, the McDonald's. Is it a way to gear them towards the healthier portion of the menu? It really affects. Yeah, it affects the child, especially in developmental. It all goes back to the home. As a mother, we lived very slim, very lean. But I made sure there was good food before her. You know, also the emotional factor of home life. Okay, let's move on. Can you talk? Let's talk about your book now in details. The Eight Steps to Inner Beauty. And we definitely want you to tell us what those eight steps are. But can you talk about that book on how it come about, how it can be purchased, et cetera, like that? Absolutely. I'm going through the last bit of my third edition right now. We're looking at representation for the book at the end of the month from Excitedly, one of the major agencies here in Hollywood. And the book is to go forward both demonstrating the ability to work efficiently, effectively, economically. The book was designed 30 years of research, compacted into eight steps to inner cellular beauty, inner spiritual beauty, and the things that make us glow. The things that when you look at someone, you know they have that glow. Just in eight simple steps. Who has time to read the encyclopedia of natural medicine? But in eight simple steps, I feel that it's very concise. The information's referenced, thoroughly referenced scientifically. The superfoods are even, you get all the plugs of what journals, medical journals and nutrition journals. So how it came about, and I know you wanted me to talk a lot about artistic process and how these things put together. With my master's degree in acupuncture and Asian medicine, I translated that into, what's the most cost effective, timely way to get the information out to the people? And so I wrote the book. The next step is, well, books don't sell by themselves. How else are you going to promote this idea of wellness to the populace? Through an animation. The book is really to translate into a children's animation where the flowers will become, in my mind, in my eyes mind, with energy medicine becoming more and more popular, I feel that the book was, was presented to the public. Presented, created for these children of the future and for the animation. So my manager is having me tighten it up a little. The music is mostly a hobby, but it's come divinely. And I'll be happy to share that with you a little later in the show. Yeah, yeah, we'll get into some music. So the eight steps, again, just easy, easy to understand, easy to implement right away. And not being so fearful of this natural health world. Oh, it's too expensive. It's really not. And so unless we change our thinking, I have a lot of tangents I can go off on on water, you know, clarity or the, they say that the soil is depleted or organic. And what is really organic if everything has run off and fall out from the sky? So there's a lot of different, different aspects of what I'm talking about that I injected into the book to help people to think about it. Okay. Now, what, how would you define when you're talking about inner beauty? What is that? Inner beauty. So the opening quote I have for the book is healthy isn't always beautiful. Excuse me. I'm going to back up. I'm a little nervous. Beauty isn't always healthy, but healthy is always beautiful. So when we see that, and that's why I was like, wait, that doesn't sound right. Healthy is always beautiful. But beauty, as we know, isn't always healthy. I myself have suffered a very tragic last 16 months of my life because of the beauty industry that I decided to get. I got silicone implants. I got silicone implants when I was in my 20s. And unfortunately, I was in a bus accident last year. And that catapulted the whole Skid Row experience and creating six new original songs. So the beauty industry, they wanted me to cover up this silicone and keep quiet. Public health has avoided me and dismissed me over 16 months now. Thank God for private insurance. I'm able to go. I'm able to go and schedule surgery in the next two weeks. So as I sit right here right now, I have silicone going through my body for the last year and a half. Now, I could have turned that into, oh, it's so terrible. Woe is me. But I turned it into, I looked around the room. I looked around the room at the Union Rescue and saw my 200 roommates and saw some real pain. Yeah, we're going to talk about that. And so that is really the long answer to about the beauty industry and about why I wrote the book. One more question before we get into it. Talking about Skid Row and the homeless and all of that. What is the relationship of stress to health? It's very closely entwined. We all know that. If we just don't feel like getting up out of bed because we know we have a stressful day, that's already affected us. There's a study, a whole study on this called psychoneuroimmunology. How stress psycho affects the psychobility, our immune system. So definitely. And curtailing the stress on a day by day, moment by moment. If we just see something coming at us, just really pulling in. And that's kind of how I believe I survived. Being very respectful to the environment downtown. And also pulling through knowing that I'm walking through this. This isn't defining me as a person. Now, what's good for scratch? Acupuncture, yoga, stuff like that? That's good for? Acupuncture, what I have a degree in, releases endorphins from the brain. That immediately, it's a natural sedation. So you feel during an acupuncture treatment, there's free acupuncture treatments on Tuesday and Thursday. At the homeless center on 4th and Town. And they do 10 to 12 free acupuncture for the ear and the hands. And in there, the gal is very gentle. And the people are feeling it with free acupuncture. They're going in and the endorphins can be released in a simple treatment like that. Okay. Let's move on. What are your thoughts on? The homeless and Skid Row. Can you talk about that? Your observation? Well, I think that to really get a grasp of what our city's going through. One would really have to experience six months on Skid Row. And I don't know that everybody's going to sign up for that experience. But to have a kind of compassion. To really know what's going on. We really have to see it firsthand. It's one thing to read about in the paper. Or hear about the homeless count. Or hear about people lining up downtown at Christmas time. But when you experience it. And you go through it. And you see people sticking together that have nothing. And having a life. And knowing what America's like. That we should really stick together. But seeing a segment of the population that doesn't. And seeing people who are without everything really do. And I think that's what the latest docudramas or documentaries on Skid Row didn't really cover. Is the community part. And the individuals walk through it. We're all coming through it from different backgrounds. From broken dreams. Broken hearts. And so what produced the six songs for me when I was in the middle of my turmoil was a decision. It was all around me over there. The security guards were looking at Weingart to see if I had broken bones. And coming in late at night from auditions on Hollywood Boulevard or doing something. And they knew I had made choices that would benefit my time down on Skid Row. And I wasn't getting into the things that easily could be had all around me. Now what are your thoughts on how homeless affect the females? Oh wow. I think it's hard to be understanding unless you are a female. I think it's hard to understand poverty or disease or you know. Some of these women have been down here their whole life. And they're still sweet. And they still have an element of compassion. Yeah there's a rough edge to them. But I think that the responsibility. The respect factor of each other. I've seen you know being a female. One is the element of society coming at us. It's not a fashion show when you're going through a hard time. And the gentleman in any community. You know you do feel a little bit targeted. Just because you are female. And you are vulnerable. And that's state of your life. So you know again having the self-esteem. Having the grip on things to say. This isn't me. I know who I truly am. I'm walking through this. And I will get through it. Somehow. So a lot of prayer. Singing at the Union Rescue Mission on the praise team lifted my heart and my soul. And the environment was something that also lifted me up. Because again I was in a good place. And luckily I had the medical help from JWCH. Came as a miracle. I had listening doctors there. As opposed to public health mainstream. What we're offered. With public health. We're not offered. Should I say. Okay. Look let's take a break for our community calendar. And then we'll come back with our in-studio guest Lisa Dawn Sheraton.

And the call-in number for the show is 800-893-9562. Now, back to our host. Okay, thank you, Ms. Earlene Anthony. And a shout-out to Positive Light Ministry. This is an organization that's out. They're in the community working with our young people. I just want to do a little quick blurb from them. Positive Light started programs and started doing stuff for kids and youth in 1998, and we were formally established as a nonprofit in 2004. We are a catalyst for inspiring the youth and anyone else who will listen, creating opportunities and giving hope to all who will participate. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Don Sheridan. Lisa, you're also a songwriter and performer. Before we get into the song, can you tell us how did that come about? How did you get off into singing? Just touch on a little. When did you start? Sure, no problem. When I was 14, I started playing the guitar, and I have pretty much been in love with jazz my whole life. So as a vocalist, I've covered a lot of just different jazz artists. Ella Fitzgerald is one of my main icons. Oh, and she was shy like me when I get up to perform. She had those big bifocals. Oh, yes, she was, but she could really give it to the crowd where they felt uplifted. They felt she understood the songs really related that and relayed that to the audience. And so that's what I was hoping to capture in my new originals, something that really grabbed people to say, we're all kind of in this. What are you going to perform for? This one right here is called I Am Here. This was given to me on Skid Row as I stayed at the Wine Garden in November, just pre-holiday. And it was right after church. I had gone to the sanctuary just on 5th and Spring, beautiful church in the Alexandria on Sunday nights, and I had relayed to the ladies what was happening to me. And they all looked at me like, you're going back. You're going back there. And I was so lifted from church that I came up with the lyrics and I hope you enjoy it. Okay. Okay. Walking in the shadows, saw them there. Asking everyone, why don't you care? Waiting on a lifetime, broken dreams. Will they have to wait or so it seems? Then he says, I am here. No matter what you fear, it's only lies. Don't be so surprised. It's dark 6am, 30 degrees. Tents down now, get up and freeze. Or take a ride in his nice warm car. The county jail, it's not that far. Cause he says, I am here. No matter what you feel, it's only life. Don't be so surprised. Be so surprised. Be so surprised. Be so surprised. Be so surprised. Thank you very much. And are you going to do another one for us? Sure. That one came to me with a very strong feeling again, like I was walking home from church and I saw the shadows and I saw the people and I really felt that they had broken dreams and were being unresponsive as a society. So the fact that he is there, no matter who he is to you, our creator is there. And so the song came for this next one. I performed it live on San Julian to a lady who was there with one eye. I had wrote this song originally for a six year old blind girl. So it was interesting how this lady came up on Christmas and she was leaning over. I woke up this morning and I couldn't find my way. Then I thought of you and I had these words to say. You are the most beautiful thing in this world. Yeah. You are the most beautiful thing in this world. Yeah. So. You wake up and you can't find your way. Think of these words I have to say. Yeah. You are. The most beautiful thing in this world. The most beautiful thing in this world. Okay, this is Lisa Dawn Sheridan. And we're going to come back a little later for some closing comments and contact information. But at this time, I would like to turn it over to our guest co-host, Mr. Tyrone Robison, for his installment of Voices from the Ether. Thank you, Melvin. If it's Monday night, almost 9 p.m., then it's time for Voices from the Ether. Our in-studio guest tonight is blues and gospel singer Miss Vicki Robinson. She's going to perform for us now, Dr. Feelgood. I don't want nobody. Always I. Sitting around. Me and my man. I know you know it. I'm talking about my girlfriend. I don't want nobody. Always. Sitting right there. Looking at me and that man. Be it my mother, my brother, or my sisters. Love me or hate me. Love me or hate me. Love me or hate me. Love me or hate me. Love me or hate me. Yes, it is. I tell you, I don't mind company. Because company's all right with me every once in a while. Yeah. Yeah. But oh, when me and that man get to loving, I tell you girls, I dig you, but I just don't have time to sit and chit and sit and chit chat and smile. Don't send me no doctor. Yeah. Fill me up with all those pills. I got me a man named Dr. Feelgood. Oh, yes. All that man takes care of my pain and my years. His name is Dr. Feelgood in the morning. Take care of business. Yes. It's really, really, really, really, really, really this man's game. And after one visit to Dr. Feelgood, you understand why I'm feeling good. It's his name. Oh, yes. Whoa.

I started at a young age. You know, my mom used to always play a bunch of gospel and blues. And I heard the Dixie Hummingbirds sing, You Shall Know the Truth. My mother was very religious. Well, I started young. But anyway, I heard that song and I was like, hmm. And then, you know, we used to listen to a lot of blues, a lot of Tina Turner, Rita, Chaka, you know, Al Green, you know, back in the era, blues people. But one person that stood out was Aretha Franklin. Okay. So that was your key inspiration. Yeah. I liked her style because she talked and sang. Like she talked a lot of mess and sung at the same time. You know, and I'm like, okay. So you've worked with artists like Miles Grayson and Elsie Davis, and you're currently working on a new album. What's your favorite song? I like the song, I like the song, I like the song. I like the song, I like the song. I like the song. I like the song. I like the song. I like the song. Tell us a little bit about that. Okay, Elsie, how Elsie came into the picture. I was out doing a karaoke. And I had sung Tyrone by Erykah Badu. Okay. And a gentleman by the name of Clarence Davis, aka LA blues man Elsie Davis had came up and he asked me, do you have a manager? Are you working with anybody? And I said, no. And he said, here's my number. give me a call well that's where it started and where miles came from um i always go to do karaoke i love karaoke and i was at westchester golf course and uh miles was just sitting there and um i sung dr feel good i was playing tamarins and um when i got up to sing after i finished singing um he slided me a card and he's uh he's a songwriter also he's wrote songs for different people um like zz hill and different cats back in the era blues and um he told me to give him a call and um he said he had some songs he wanted me to do that i would be interested in well and um i took a couple of them and i'm working on them now well good because i think that's going to bring us to the point where you're going to perform for us in acapella you're going to sing uh something called the fool that lived here doesn't live here no more uh yeah that was a song and i when he first presented it to me i looked at it and i was like i looked at the words and stuff i said that's me and then i was like well everybody that knows when you're in love you know sometimes you know you become a fool and i've been a fool uh many times but uh this this person today is not the fool that used to live there okay but anyway um so anyway vicky's gonna go ahead and punch this one out for us in acapella vicky okay i'm just gonna give you a little bit of it all right now i knew i was playing your fool but i accepted the role cause when you're really really really really in love it's so damn hard to say no you drained me of all of my love and you left me here in tears but deep down inside honey i knew that one day soon you would reappear now here you are down on your knees with tears in your eyes begging me me now i'm not alone i'm not alone i'm not alone i'm not alone i'm not alone i'm not alone i'm not alone i know who you're looking for but i hate to disappoint you baby but i think you ought to know that the fool who used to live here no no she doesn't live here anymore no more well it's not like in the jar but it's somewhat like that well that was good enough that was yeah just a little bit more than that but i'm not gonna lie to you i'm not gonna lie to you i'm not gonna lie to you just a little sample that was great so um if someone wanted to see you perform other than what's happening at the vortex on the 24th do you have any favorite karaoke spots

in the play together and had a great time we had fun i loved it thank you jamal yeah so just thank our guests i want everybody to just come out and have a great time okay now at this time i'd like to give my commentary on the end of the prison hunger strike that ended on september the 5th now with the end of the two-month prison hunger strike that ended thursday september the 5th 2013 it is time to ask the question when would our society seek to rehabilitate those caught up in the prison industrial complex and assist them back into the community what is needed is a retraining program for those coming back to the community and also a support system for those who would be confined for a long period of time it is good that the legislators said that they would take up where the hunger strike left off as early as uh october when senate senator lonnie hancock of berkeley and assemblyman tom uh me the old from san francisco planned to seek testimony on the use of solitary confinement but both have made clear that they considered the practice overused but what is needed is a network of interfaith and other community organizations to develop programs to supervise some of these low level offenders coming back to the community the hunger crackers did their part by putting their lives on the line to call attention to the inhuman conditions inside the california prison system now they have passed the baton it is time for the community to take the baton and come to that together and do your part that's my take on the end of the prison hunger strike now we still have a little time i want to go around i want to go back to um to our guests uh lisa and i want to ask you again did you see the um report on cnn the special dealing with cannabis uh or the the whole new approach to the medicine and in cannabis and all like that no i know that marinol is being introduced and the government is actually they have grow houses where they're making the marinol for cancer patients it is beneficial when someone can't eat or their nausea is so high to have this oil that has also been documented but outside of that i really don't know what at large what the medical community is doing with it okay okay uh tyrone the question is how's your um because i looked at your website how's your um your sponsorship of children's international going well the 50 donation comes with every book right but the book has been in second edition with the setbacks both financially and the health setbacks i'm due for surgery any day right now so that's that part's exciting so the uh the the actual availability of the book um is is coming up on september the latter part of september also representation okay i i just found it interesting that that you're putting your money the profit to to helping the children's international fund and and i'm glad to see that that that link was was right up yes 50 of every book proceed that's more than anything else that's out there we are we're uh we're gearing up to help the children we know that there's crisis here in america with the with the economic crisis but unfortunately world starving population has gone up five times in africa we know various parts of the world we have very third world conditions that have gone even deeper 25 to 27 000 children under 10 pass every day children international are going into communities building villages schools and saving saving lives so i do know that they're they're a worthy charity okay okay vicky i'm gonna give you the final comment uh before we uh anything you would like to say uh thank you for inviting me here and having me back and um thank everyone for their love and support and uh a shout out to my facebook family and friends hi thank y'all for y'all support and y'all love and i
