As a medical intuitive and healer and as a father of three
children, and stepfather to two more, (including four teenagers)
Bryan Farnum is very familiar with the stresses and concerns
plaguing teenagers in this age. Questions about depression,
mood swings, the effects of divorce, abuse, smoking, illness,
drugs and alcohol, sex, low self-esteem, pressure to perform,
thoughts of suicide, death and issues about God are all part
of his daily experience. Read on to know more about this outspoken
warrior for God's Love - let him answer your questions and
guide you back to equilibrium and wellness in body, mind and
soul.

On April 30th, 1998, Bryan Farnum's world came crashing to
a halt when Michael, the youngest of five children,
was diagnosed with a brain tumor.
Michael had just celebrated his fourth
birthday, when the increasingly severe headaches and
vomiting began. It took about a week to confirm their
worst fears; and following diagnosis of the tumor it
took two more weeks of tests - cat scans, MRIs, blood
tests, response tests to prepare Michael for surgery.
The Farnum's turned to God, praying that the results
would be favorable, and, God answered their prayers.
The surgery was successful - the tumor was removed,
with no apparent damage or loss of function. The family
thanks neurosurgeon Dr. Jim Drake at Toronto's Hospital
for Sick Children for his brilliance and caring.

A week later came the pathologists' report - CANCER - highly
aggressive and extremely rare. The hospital oncology department
recommended 18 months of chemotherapy treatments, combined
with 6 - 8 weeks of radiology treatments. There was no guarantee
that Michael would survive either the treatment or the cancer.
What was guaranteed however, was that their child would be
damaged by the treatment itself. Michael could look forward
to malformation of the spine, permanent hair loss, loss of
stature, sterility, reduced intelligence, and a very high
probability of developing another cancer within 10 years of
treatment, assuming of course that he lived through the treatment.
The oncology staff insisted that without this treatment the
incidence of recurrence of this type of cancer was 100%.
The family was faced with a terrible dilemma. How could they
put their beautiful child through the horrors that had been
described to them - was there an alternative?
Again, they turned to God and also to the alternative health
care community. They sought the counsel and fellowship of
the hospital chaplain, their local church and participated
in a spiritual healing. Ultimately they chose alternative
medicine over the chemotherapy and radiation treatments recommended
by the Hospital.
From the outset of Michael's illness Bryan prayed, and in
fact, he offered his own life to God in exchange for Michael's.
In his naiveté, he wondered whether he would start
developing the symptoms of a brain tumor. Immediately following
Michael's spiritual healing Bryan could sense something very
different going on in his own mind, body and soul, and God's
plan started to unfold.
Bryan had always been intuitive, particularly in business,
but now he began to understand things about life, about the
body, about God - he felt overwhelmed in crowded areas as
if the energy of the people around him was being drawn directly
to him. He spent many hours each day in prayer and meditation
- his intuition gained precision. He began to be able to discern
people's bodies - to identify if there was illness in the
body, and where, and then, began to know what was causing
that illness, and how to reverse it.
What he had prayed for materialized - Michael was healed
and his own journey to serve God's kingdom began. In October
1998 Bryan ended a business career as a merchant banker and
embarked on a ministry of healing, of spiritual growth, and
a mission to deliver God's message of love to each and every
one of His children.
In the style of the late Edgar Cayce, Bryan consciously accesses
the "Akashic Records" or God's Universal Records.
These records contain information on every living organism.
It contains a ledger of every thought word and deed of every
individual who is living today, or has ever lived. Filed under
the name we are given at birth, every individual has a custom-made
"encyclopedia" that catalogues everything we are,
think, feel or say.
The late Edgar Cayce spent most of his life in a trance calling
upon the Akashic records to help tens of thousands of people.
Following his passing, millions of people have been helped
by or intrigued with Edgar Cayce - the "Sleeping Prophet"
- by reading about his discernments in a series of books written
about his life. (For further information on Edgar Cayce please

God knows everything about you - your loves, your hates,
your every thought, your energy level, your intelligence,
your degree of happiness. God knows how well you are doing
at school, how honest your are; he knows what health problems
you have, like depression or mood swings, whether you have
viral or bacterial infections, whether chronic or serious
disease is present. Do you use drugs or alcohol? God knows.
He knows your sexual activity, your preferences, and your
sexual orientation. He also knows your ability to love, yourself
and others, your ability to forgive; and your closeness to
God.
God knows everything - your life is an open book, there are
no secrets - every action, reaction, spoken word and or thought
is recorded permanently.
And what God knows, Bryan knows too. Bryan claims that God
allows him to "discern" information from our "encyclopedia"
in order to help us obtain information we need to help balance
body, mind and soul.
At conception every individual is assigned a Blueprint and
a Life Program. The Blueprint predetermines the inherent strengths
and weaknesses of our body, mind and soul. The Life Program
predicts how we as individuals will act and react under stimulation
from any of our five (or is it six?) senses. Let's compare
us to a computer - our blueprint is our hardware, our life
program is our customized software.
Teenagers need to know that our Blueprint and Life Program
is largely determined by the strengths and weaknesses that
have been passed down to us by our parents. For those of you
who may feel that you've been given a bum rap, Bryan suggests
that you don't take this as an opportunity to blame your parents
for every thing that is wrong in your life. As you mature,
you will be allowed to make more and more choices in your
life, and of course, take responsibility for those choices.
The good news is that to a certain degree the Life Program
can be changed, and Bryan will discuss this in the next issue
of Faze Magazine.
For instance, if one or both of your parents suffer from
depression, there is a good chance that you will also suffer
from depression. Teenagers often don't recognize their sad
feelings, lack of energy or enthusiasm as depression; others
do not want to talk about depression. Bryan suggests that
there are two primary types of depression. One is a physical
(brain chemical imbalance) depression and the other is a depression
in response to negative life experiences. In both cases, it
is very important for teenagers to seek help, and help is
available. Often depression can be lessened or improved by
a change in diet or the introduction of essential oils, for
instance flaxseed oil. Bryan suggests that all teenagers drink
plenty of water, minimize intake of sugary refined products,
eat lots of fruit and vegetables and take flaxseed oil every
day. The flaxseed oil will help maintain seratonin levels
(brain chemical) in the brain, which when out of balance can
cause mood swings and anxiety. BONUS - Bryan has also discerned
that Flaxseed Oil kills certain bacteria in the body, which
contribute to teenage acne. Try flaxseed oil for a clear complexion.
Bryan suggests a high quality oil like Omega Nutrition's Flax
Seed Oil (omegaflo® product line sold in health food stores).

Bryan explains that it is very important for teenagers to
talk about their feelings of depression, talk to your parents,
talk to a close friend, a teacher, someone that you trust.
If you are not sure whom to trust, Bryan suggests that you
try prayer, and God will send someone to help you.
If you're not sure how to pray, Bryan suggests that you begin
by imagining God is present with you in the same room and
simply have a normal conversation and don't be afraid to ask
for help and always pray for others. If you don't like the
name "God", try Father, Heavenly Father, Almighty,
Allah, Jehovah, Lord, Creator. Find a name for God that you
are the most comfortable with.
Many teenagers (and adults as well) do not take the time
to get to know God.
Bryan recommends that you start getting to know God today
- do not wait for some tragic event to occur, like Bryan did
almost losing his son Michael to brain cancer. Bryan admits,
many people, like himself, turn to God when they are down
and out, and their life or the life of a loved one is on the
line.
Remember God's love for each and every one of us is profound
- He loves each one of us equally, regardless of whether or
not we love Him in return.
Some teenagers appear to have been blessed with very special
abilities or attributes. For instance, some are highly intelligent,
some are brilliant artists, or musicians, some may have been
blessed with a beautiful face and perfect body shape, a great
voice or dramatic talent, strong athletic ability, or the
ability to attract many friends.
Do not despair if this doesn't describe you. Recognize that
these are gifts from God, and it is quite possible that your
own gift may not be realized until you are older, or your
gift may be of the spiritual realm - realize that there is
a purpose for every person being different in this world.
Bryan wants all teenagers to drop, get rid of, sack their
extraordinarily high expectations of life. He says this is
often the reason why many teenagers experience high levels
of stress, anger, depression and ultimately illness. He says
that teenagers should simply set a goal to try to do their
best at whatever they attempt. Understand that we all have
different blueprints and life programs. We do not share the
same strengths nor are we burdened with the same weaknesses
as others. Be content with your uniqueness - you needn't feel
pressure to look, act, feel like every other teenager - you
weren't created to.
Bryan speaks from experience, he, like many, has had great
failures in his life. Bryan knows from God, that it is our
effort in overcoming and learning from those failures that
is to be rewarded.
Bryan shared with me a story about a family of seven children
that he met in the United States. They all had very high expectations
of life and their performance, and to further burden themselves,
they were all perfectionists. Sadly, not one of these seven
family members was happy. Rather than improving the quality
of their lives, their high expectations resulted in a life
filled with disappointment.
So teenagers, Bryan says, give up the high expectations.
This doesn't mean to stop dreaming, practicing or training,
or setting goals for yourself, just be happy with your effort
- compare your performance only to yourself. Bryan also says
that parents need to understand this very important point
- take the pressure off and help your children be all they
can be, or were meant to be.
Bryan is delighted to be part of this premiere issue of Faze
Magazine, and as part of Bryan's commitment to Faze, and to
teenagers, Bryan invites you to write to him at the communication
coordinates below. Bryan will try to answer your questions
about your health and happiness. When writing in please provide
your complete birth name and birth date, which will be kept
in complete confidence. Your questions and Bryan's responses
will be published in future issues of Faze.
Bryan also says that teenagers must respect their parents
and show respect to all adults, regardless, of how they are
treated first, or in return. This is a very difficult message
to deliver, but regardless of how unfair this seems, this
is what God asks. Respecting your parents, whether you believe
they deserve your respect or not, is required nonetheless.
The trials and tribulations of divorce and finding peace
in the stepfamily dynamics. Teenagers often feel helpless
in a situation where their parent's second marriage partners
introduce new and drastically different blueprints and life
programs upon them.
Bryan encourages teenagers who have a very difficult time
being told to do something by someone else to let that person
know that you would prefer to be asked to do something rather
than be told. This is not exclusively a "teenage"
thing. Probably half of the population prefers to be asked
rather than told to do something. P.S. God likes to be asked.
Did you know that you attract the mirror image of yourself?
This rule applies right through your life. If you are honest,
trustworthy, your heart is wide open, you are spiritual, then
you will attract the same type of person to you. However,
Bryan says, if you are the opposite, you will also attract
that type of person as a friend, boyfriend or girlfriend.
Chose your friends wisely.
The world requires a delicate balance to be sustained - male
and female, positive and negative, yin and yang, acid and
alkaline. An important balance to maintain is giving and receiving.
Bryan works with and assists medical researchers in Canada
and the United States in the study of brain chemicals, viruses,
bacteria and cancer and identifying the blueprint and life
program of these organisms. Bryan's gift allows him to detect
the exact year a virus and or bacteria entered a human body.
Through Bryan's knowledge from God, it has been determined
that most untreatable diseases in the human body are a result
of a virus or bacteria either transferred from a parent to
child through DNA, or has entered into the body system some
period in life after birth. The medical community has a very
difficult time with viruses and bacteria, as most are unable
to be detected through normal testing.
Each issue of Faze Magazine will provide teenagers with Bryan's
new findings in his research, which will help balance Body,
Mind and Soul.
Teens or their parents with questions or challenges are encouraged
to contact Bryan's office in Richmond Hill, Ontario at (905)
770-9200.
