A Commentary About Your Thoughts and You by Mitch Santell

During my time on this planet, I have found that people around you either go to the positive or the negative or they are neutral.

These same people either enhance your life or you feel like crap when you are around them. Know what I mean?

The reason I have always remained on the positive side is that I have learned to change the narrative.

People in your life who don't have excellent coping skills will openly tell you that they don't want to hear any more of your stories.

The most intimate story that we share in life is the story that we tell ourself.

Now for some of us, we may be called delusional because we have learned the art of "act as if." An example of this would be to act as if "everything is okay" until it is.

Here is something to help shift you:

Your thoughts play an important role in shaping your imagination and creating the state of being you want to be in.  When we are in the middle of a crappy situation we often take up a negative dialogue in our head.  In some ways we think we are solving the situation by creating all these negative scenarios and dramas.  Instead we never realize that a negative dialogue creates a negative outcome.  

Think about it.  How would you judge your thoughts right now?  Are you hopeful? Loving? Pissed Off? Angry? Trusting? Kind? Hateful?  What dialogue is running in your head?  If your thoughts are rehashing the past events of your life, or creating negative dramas through worry, doubt or fear you are using your imagination for the negative.  In doing this you are creating a state of being that is detrimental to your wellbeing.  You can’t learn the lesson and grow if you are wallowing in a negative vibration.  To change it, you have to first change your thoughts because you cannot get to a better feeling with lousy thinking.


Changing your thoughts requires work.  It requires you to be vigilant.  Hear a negative thought; change the story.  Not only do you have to be cognizant of the dialogues going on the inside, you also have to police the thoughts coming to you from the outside.   You are the authority of your thinking and you have to take back your control.  The thoughts written on your mind by other people may need to be deleted.  Learn to shut down outside opinions and start shifting your thinking.  Any story that is creating a negative feeling is not worth repeating over and over again.  

When we were children we lived a life of mind-sight.  We saw the tree and we climbed it.  We never rationalized the challenge.  Much to the chagrin of our parents, we just did it.  In mind-sight thinking, we saw a world of possibilities.  As we got older we shifted to eyesight.  We looked at the challenges and came up with a multitude of reasons why it couldn’t be done.   Our journey to this Planet Earth never came with a promise of smooth sailing.  Adversity in your life is part of the path.  You have a choice about the thoughts that dwell in your mind and you have a choice about how you go through an experience.  See the possibilities.  Rise to the challenge and never look back.

Reggae, Marijuana & Alzheimer's

Commentary and Analysis by Mitch Santell
​Co-Founder (draft)

In my last blog posting I openly talked about Reggae and Marijuana. There is something that is even more sacred between music and the herb.

Here where we broadcast Big Reggae Mix in San Diego California, there is a huge movement to legalize Marijuana beyond it's medical use.

For me? I am a big Cannabis promoter because as I did my own research into the herb I realized that it has healing properties beyond just being a "hippie" or "stoner." Those are old terms. If you can't get on the Ganga train now you never will. 

My personal experience? My mother in law and my father in law both had Alzheimer's. This disease is called by many "The Long Goodbye." We watched my wife's Mom fade away for seven years. We moved her 4 times. Scott Brown, our amazing Director of Programming is very aware of what our family went through with these medical challenges. I want to share with all of our Big Reggae Mix listener's the latest findings on Alzheimer's and the green herb.

Marijuana Compound Removes Alzheimer’s-Related Protein From Nerve Cells

With the prevalence of Alzheimer's disease expected to almost triple in the United States by 2050, there is an urgent need to identify effective treatments for the condition. Now, a new study suggests marijuana may hold the key to such a treatment.


Published in the journal Aging and Mechanisms of Disease, the study reveals how a compound present in marijuana triggered the removal of beta-amyloid protein from nerve cells, or neurons.

Beta-amyloid is considered a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease; the protein clumps together in the brain of people with the condition, forming plaques.
Studies have suggested these beta-amyloid plaques disrupt communication between neurons in the brain, which leads to symptoms associated with Alzheimer's, such as impaired memory.

Preventing beta-amyloid accumulation in the brain might seem like an obvious way to tackle Alzheimer's, but because researchers are still unclear of the exact role the protein plays in the disease process, achieving such a feat is easier said than done.
Marijuana compound prevented nerve cell deathTo test their theory, the researchers applied THC to nerve cells with high beta-amyloid production.


They found that the marijuana compound reduced beta-amyloid levels and eradicated the inflammatory response to the protein, which prevented nerve cell death.

While clinical trials are needed to confirm the role THC might play in protecting nerve cells against beta-amyloid, the researchers believe their findings shed more light on the role beta-amyloid plays in Alzheimer's disease, which could pave the way for new treatments.
