Relief For Neuropathy Pain – From Our Friends at Medical Breakthroughs

AdminCyndi — Mon, 21 May 2012 13:18:46 +0000

Neuropathy is an abnormal and usually degenerative state of nerve fibers or the nervous system. It may also include muscular atrophy (wasting) as a result of the condition. In short, it is a malfunctioning of the nervous system that can produce symptoms anywhere in the body that are often referred to as neuralgia or neuritis.

The causes of neuropathy include:

excessive glucose/insulin in the blood
sciatic nerve entrapment (from sitting, aging, trauma, etc.)
trauma caused by accidents, extended standing on hard surfaces, etc.
chemotherapy side-effects
side-effects from prescription drugs,
toxic chemicals such as Agent Orange, solvents, etc.
complications from surgery, and
temporary inflammation in the lower back.

Two treatments which have been shown to treat neuropathy effectively are benfotiamine and The Rebuilder®.

Benfotiamine (S-benzyolthiamine O-mono-phosphate)

Developed in Japan in the late 1950s to treat alcoholic and diabetic neuropathy and other nerve disorders including sciatica, benfotiamine has been marketed in apan since 1962, in Europe since 1992 and in the U.S. since 2005. It is a synthetic derivative of vitamin B1, thiamine, and is present in trace amounts in roasted, crushed garlic, onions, shallots and leeks. Benfotiamine’s supplemental use has been shown to significantly decrease the unpleasant physical symptoms of diabetes such as burning, tingling, prickling, or loss of sensation in the feet and hands. Its use may also lessen the more serious complications, which include deafness, loss of vision, high blood pressure,and stroke. Due to its unique chemical actions, benfotiamine may also help repair and regenerate diabetes-induced damaged cells throughout the body (1)—including nerve cells in the extremities and cells of the small capillaries of the eyes (retina) and kidneys (glomeruli), thus restoring some function to these organs.

Ironically, while the characteristic underproduction of insulin and/or the lack of cells’ sensitivity to it prevents glucose from entering many of the body’s trillions of cells, excess glucose within the blood floods into blood vessel cells, causing great damage to both cellular structure and function.

In contrast to most of the other substances used to treat diabetes—which work either by increasing the quantity of insulin and/or increasing the cells’ sensitivity to it—benfotiamine eliminates excess levels of potentially-damaging glucose metabolites (triosephosphates) from within the blood vessel cells. It accomplishes this cellular purging by increasing the activity of the enzyme transketolase by 300-400%, allowing glucose to be processed through an alternate metabolic pathway, thus normalizing glucose levels and metabolism within the affected cells. (2) Interestingly, benfotiamine’s benefits are not the result of a drop in blood sugar levels—as measured by fasting plasma or HbA1c—but rather its unique ability to balance cellular glucose metabolism.

Recent studies have shown benfotiamine may be helpful in treating many neurological conditions including Alzheimer’s, Bell’s palsy, herpes simplex, Parkinson’s, sciatica, shingles, tinnitis, tooth hypersensitivity, and Tourette’s syndrome. Other ailments which may be beneficially affected are AIDS, end stage renal (kidney) disease, sleep disorders, and liver diseases including hepatitis. Benfotiamine is a safe compound having no known drug interactions or side-effects at treatment dosages.The basic treatment level is 600-900 mg daily in divided doses, with a maintenance dosage of 150 mg. However, this may vary depending upon the severity of the condition and the patient’s subjective experience. Up to 1,200 mg/day has been used safely. To learn more, visit www.benfotiamine.org.

The ReBuilder®

ReBuilder Medical, Inc. of Charles Town, WV offers a small, battery-operated electrical device that promises to reduce or eliminate the pain, numbness, burning sensations, and tingling so common to peripheral neuropathy. The ReBuilder sends healing, non-painful electrical signals to the feet (or hands) which wake up dormant nerves and restore blood flow, hence oxygen, to the extremities. Patients begin by using the device once per day for about 30 minutes. As symptoms subside, frequency of use can be decreased to two or three treatments per week.

According to the company, patients average a 95% reduction in pain and burning and an 83% reduction in numbness. Even those who’ve been told “nothing else can be done, the nerves are dead” may find relief using this device. David Phillips, Ph.D., inventor of the ReBuilder, is also the inventor of the GST® Breast Cancer Detection System, and was given the Inventor of the Year award in 1986 for his development of the infrared ear thermometer, a well-known household item.

EWOT
Supplemental oxygen at 10 liters per minute while exercising helps reverse both the symptoms and the damage caused by diabetic neuropathy and retinopathy. (3) A particularly effective form of supplemental oxygen therapy is EWOT—Exercise with Oxygen Therapy. See EWOT under General Treatment Methods in The Encyclopedia of Medical Breakthroughs. (To order, visit www.realmedicalhelp.com.)

Several other technologies presented in The Encyclopedia of Medical Breakthroughs include the Sphenopalatine Ganglion Block discussed under Pain Relievers. At times, a localized procaine or similar analgesic injection is effective. This is sometimes given along with DMSO, a substance discussed in more detail under Spinal Cord Injury and Pain Relievers. Otherwise, many of the Pain Relievers and General Treatment Methods offer relief. See Light and Electricity under Pain Relievers and Prolotherapy and Seanol under General Treatment Methods. See Memantine under Alzheimer’s Disease, which has been shown to reduce the pain of neuropathies. See Alpha Lipoic Acid under Alzheimer’s Disease and Tamanu Oil under Psoriasis.

The Greens Have It! by Nadine, N.D., C.N.S

AdminCyndi — Mon, 07 May 2012 15:10:11 +0000

Fresh raw vegetables have life force. A life force that can fuel our own health and vitality. Pulling from the Latin vegetabilis (animated) and from vegetare (enliven), we can say that vegetables allow us to wake up and move both our body and brain.

Most vegetables are very high in water and necessary vitamins and minerals. They are a perfect compliment to animal protein meals to help supply the nutrients that aid in the digestion and utilization of those foods. Most vegetables are predominantly carbohydrate, with important fiber bulk to assist the bowels. But that is not all, vegetables are loaded with vitamins C and A, along with some B vitamins, trace minerals, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and iron. The dark leafy greens, yellow or orange vegetables, such as squash, carrots and peppers, are all high in beta-carotene, which produces vitamin A in our body. Vitamin A helps to protect tissues during infections, repair tissues after injury or surgery, and promote rapid recovery. One important function of vitamin C is in the formation and maintenance of collagen, the basis of connective tissue, which is found in skin, ligaments, cartilage, vertebral discs, joint linings, capillary walls, and the bones and teeth. Vitamin C is also used to aid those withdrawing from drug or substance addictions like sugar, nicotine, alcohol and caffeine. There is so much more to share, however for now we can simply say… GREENS HAVE IT!

Chlorophyll which is part of most plants and especially high in the dark green vegetables, has special healing properties. Where blood is the most basic component of the human body, plants have their basis in chlorophyll. Many studies have shown that chlorophyll extracts provide intestinal nourishment and has a soothing or healing effect on the mucous linings. Chlorophyll has been found beneficial to help detoxify or purify our system, the liver in particular, as well as healing skin ulcers. Anticancer effects have been given to the cruciferous family vegetables such as broccoli, brussels sprouts, and cauliflower.

The most nutritious way to eat vegetables is fresh and raw. However raw vegetables eaten in large quantities are harder for some people to chew and digest and can produce intestinal gas. Broccoli is one example of a raw vegetable with this quality. Light steaming of the broccoli (vegetables) will soften them without depleting much of their nutrients. Baked vegetables will also hold their nutrients. If we boil vegetables, many of their nutrients go into the water, so unless you will be drinking the water or making this into a soup, boiling is not ideal.

Keeping with a feeling of fresh, raw, or slightly steamed, leafy greens are probably the richest in nutrients of any food s in the animal kingdom. The greener they are, the more nutritious they are. [green = chlorophyll]

Dandelion greens are one of the richest sources of vitamin A around and are known to neutralize excess acids in the stomach and intestines. The healing properties of the leaves and root range from treating a variety of liver and gallbladder issues, breast diseases and water retention to easing joint pain, fever and skin diseases. In 1984 the USDA ranked dandelions in the top 4 green vegetables in overall nutritional value. This power packed green makes a wonderful healing addition to a yummy summer salad.

Kale is a fairly tasty vegetable with a rich array of nutrients and can be found as lacinato kale and purple kale in addition to the curly kale common to most stores. The lacinato and purple varieties have a sweeter taste. Before you turn up your nose at this tasty delight, check out the nutrients in one cup of steamed kale. Note that one cup of steamed kale requires two to three cups of fresh kale so the following numbers are approximates.

* A little over 50 calories
* 10g carbohydrate
* 3-4g of protein
* 2-3g of fiber
* less than 1g of fat
* nearly 8000 IU’s of vitamin A
* between 150 and 200 mg of calcium
* 30 mg of magnesium
* 2mg iron
* 300mg of potassium
* vitamin C comes in between 100-150 mg
* traces of manganese, copper and zinc
* less than 50mg of sodium
* with 40mcg of folic acid

Can we say WOW, or Holy WOW. the Greens have it all. Here are a few more tidbits. Cabbage is a nutritious anticancer cruciferous vegetable that is low in fat and can even help reduce body fat levels. Red cabbage is higher than green in vitamins A and C, but lower in folic acid and chlorophyll. Fermented cabbage, called sauerkraut, is loaded with digestive enzymes and is a key player in killing off candida from the body.

Chard is a rich source of vitamin A, and has fair amounts of vitamin C, folic acid, calcium, magnesium, sodium and potassium. Regular or rainbow chard is good hot with a bit of melted butter or flaxseed oil. One of my favorite breakfast meals is 2 cups steamed chard with 6 egg whites and a tsp of Flaxseed oil. I feel very satisfied after eating this breakfast.

Steamed Collard greens are wonderful with sauteed onions. Collards are strong in folic acid, vitamin C and another rich source of vitamin A. Collards make an excellent fiber source and contain the minerals calcium, potassium, iron and zinc in plenty. Another wonderful recipe combination is sauteed onions + steamed collards + ground turkey + flaxseed oil on top. Yummy!!!

Green leaf, red leaf, butter lettuce and romaine make for wonderful salads. Remember those dark green in color are richer in chlorophyll, vitamin A and folic acid. Lettuces also contain some calcium, potassium and iron and are good fiber foods. We can toss spinach into this dark green leafy family as well. The Popeye tale brought spinach to the forefront with the saying that “Spinach makes ya strong!!!” One cup of uncooked spinach has nearly 2 mg of iron; 4500 IU’s of vitamin A and a healthy dose of vitamin C. The B vitamins are low except for folic acid. Potassium, magnesium and calcium are high with copper, manganese and zinc saying a healthy hello. Raw spinach does contain oxalic acid, which may bind some of the calcium and other minerals. Spinach is a good addition to a salad or can be used as a substitute for lettuce. Note: once fresh spinach is cooked or a can is opened, it should be consumed within the day and not stored, due to the potential oxidation of iron.

Watercress is a spicy green from the mustard family and used in herbology as to purify the blood. Known as an anticancer super food, watercress can significantly reduce DNA damage to blood cells, when eaten on a daily basis. This spicy green makes a lovely addition to salads and contains high quantities of vitamin A and calcium. Traces of nearly all the B vitamins are present along with vitamin C, potassium, iron and magnesium.

My intention at this point was to add in a few recipe ideas. Google opened a huge portal of possibilities. I found Watercress Soup; Thai Grilled Watercress Salmon; Rainbow Chard with Pine Nuts, Parmesan and Basil; Mushroom, Kale and White Bean Skillet…. and the list keeps going. So rather than pop in what is making ME hungry, head to your computer and do a search for what YOU are wanting.

Be creative as you explore these wonderful, healthy, healing greens that bring vitality to your plate.

The Rules of Comfort by Nadine, N.D., C.N.S.

AdminCyndi — Wed, 04 Apr 2012 15:26:00 +0000

It smelled good. It tasted Good. But, boy-oh-boy, the digestive ramifications of that last meal. WOW. Suddenly your GI tract is screaming at you and simply wants to explode. Just like humans, some foods get along well with others, and some need to play by themselves.

From a nutrition perspective, three important ways to improve the digestion of food, reduce food allergies and increase overall general health include creating an Acid-Alkaline Balance, Food Combining and Food Rotation. This article will focus on Food Combining.

To enjoy the benefits of a healthy digestive system and to allow our bodies to utilize the nutrients from the food we eat, certain rules for the way food is combined within a meal need to be observed. The concept of combining food is to join two incomplete proteins (grains, legumes, nuts & seeds, and veggies) to obtain a complete protein. A complete or whole protein is one that contains an adequate proportion of all nine of the essential amino acids necessary for our dietary needs and to support the biological functions in the human body.

In general, animal proteins (fish, poultry, meat, eggs, cheese and milk) are considered good sources of complete proteins, with gelatin the only animal protein not considered to be complete. On the other hand, vegetable or plant proteins (grains, legumes, nuts & seeds, and veggies) are incomplete proteins because they are missing, or do not have enough of, one or more of the essential amino acids. Quinoa, Buckwheat, Hempseed and Soybeans are the only plant-sources of protein that qualify as a complete protein. Remember our mission for combining food is to join two incomplete proteins to obtain a complete protein.

The Basic guidelines for Food Combining are as follows (with example:)

* Grains + Legumes (rice and beans)

* Seeds + Legumes (sesame seeds with garbanzo beans)

* Nuts + Legumes (tofu with sliced almonds)

* Grains + Milk (hot oatmeal with milk)

* Grains + Eggs (rice with eggs)

*Veggies + Milk (cream soups)

* Veggies + Eggs (salad with sliced eggs)

Digestive comfort is another major consideration when it comes to how food is combined. Calm and ease are preferable over explosive nastiness. Allowing the foods we eat to digest will also aid in allowing the nutrients from those foods to be absorbed into our bodies. Some food combinations create distress because they are unable to break down at the same rate. Digestion takes longer or simply does not take place. If foods are unable to break down their nutrients are unable to be utilized by the body. The following are some suggested guidelines to follow for combining food in an effort to assist the digestive system:

* Fruits are to be eaten alone or with other fruits (not melons)

* Milk is considered a food and is suggested to be eaten alone

* Protein foods (meat) are not to be eaten with Starches (bread, potatoes). WHY?? For the best digestion, Proteins require an acid digestive medium while Starches require an alkaline one. When eaten together, they interfere with each other’s utilization, making digestion take longer and inefficient. If these foods are in the same feeding, it is preferable to eat the protein, wait about 20 mins, then eat the starch.

* Eat One Protein source per meal (do not put steak with shrimp etc or cheese with meat). Mixing more than one protein source can be very taxing on the digestive track, and often provides an excessive amount of bad fats with the protein.

* DO Combine Protein + Veggies

* DO Combine Starch + Veggies

* Fruits and Simple Sugars are not to be eaten along with or after other food due to fermentation in the stomach, bloating, gas etc.

* Melons are to be eaten alone. Especially not to be eaten with other fruits

* Fruits are best eaten in the morning

These are simply suggestions that can be applied to your own routine. Try them out to see how they work in your life, with your digestive tract. If they work for you, GREAT. If they don’t, pass them along to another. Bottom line, all rules for comfort need attention and practice. If you have ever enjoyed a meal with two or more proteins plus with a waldorf salad and wondered why your stomach revolted, now you know. Till next we meet, Happy eating and Super Happy digestion.

Reprogram Your Mind to Achieve Desired Weight by Dr. Irina Koles

AdminCyndi — Tue, 20 Mar 2012 15:42:30 +0000

Constantly, so many people are struggling with their extra pounds. For months and even years, they follow different diets and vigorously exercise. In some cases, this behavior helps many of us successfully reach our desired weight. However, only 10% of people are able to keep that weight for more than one year. Think about that statistic. After all that struggling, nine out of ten people will be back to their previous weight in less than only ONE YEAR! If the statistics were the opposite and only one person out of ten could not keep his/her weight, we would probably attribute it to the individual’s weak personality and irresponsibility. But, could nine out of ten really be weak and irresponsible people? It sounds unbelievable. Why can’t people keep what they have already achieved?

The answer is simple. No diet can last forever. When the plan is over – the weight is back. The problem needs to be addressed on a much deeper level: first in your mind, then on your plate. Willpower is not enough. The truth is that it is almost impossible to change habits using only willpower. We need to manage our thoughts and reprogram our mind, to make it work.

There are five major steps in the process of reprogramming:

Awareness, recognition.
Admitting the situation
Focusing on values vs. results and the process
Setting a clear goal
Using imagination and feelings vs. willpower

AWARENESS is the first step in the reprogramming your mind. Before you even plan any actions, you need to be AWARE of your current situation, your extra weight, and health problems related to it.

ADMITTING seems very similar to awareness and a relatively short phase in reprogramming process. Admitting means that you are not only aware about your situation, but you’re taking responsibility for that; now you know where you are, and are ready to take action.

First, admit the things that you don’t like – ALL OF THEM. Do not lie to yourself. It’s important that you’re honest. Don’t be afraid or embarrassed. Say it OUT LOUD and then write it down. Write down everything you hate about yourself, everything you see and FEEL. This is not about the number; this is about your FEELINGS regarding that number. This is not about counting; this is about disengagement and growing.

It’s also a perfect time to enhance all your fears. If you are obese, do you want to die suddenly on the street from a cardiovascular attack, or end up paralyzed after suffering a stroke? Do you want to suffer from diabetes and end up with vision problems and skin wounds? All those things happen to thousands of people every year, and may happen to you– if you ignore your weight and don’t take care of yourself.

Unfortunately, most people prefer to AVOID the situation. They avoid admitting their extra pounds and bad health. This is a big mistake. If you find yourself in a hole, – stop digging! ADMIT IT!!!! Avoiding doesn’t accomplish anything. Admitting will rescue you. This is not the starting point for transformation; this is the first step IN transformation. There is no future success without this step, which means that your life will stay the same. Admitting is your new BEGINNING.

FOCUS on VALUES vs. results. When people make a decision about dieting, they usually think about the process itself and about results. However, focusing on dieting and avoiding fattening foods makes you think about the problem, not the solution. This is negative thinking, because you are focusing on what you DON’T want – losing the food you have always liked. This will not take you far. Instead, focus on what you WANT, on your NEW desire, new behavior, and on your new CHOICE. Here you need a real REASON, a DESIRE which drives you to that. Is it better health? Is it being better looking? Lighter? Sexier? WHY do you want to lose weight? In what way your life will be different after you achieve your desired weight? Answering all these questions will help you to create your vision and set clear goals.

SETTING a clear GOAL is another important step, which is usually ignored, but critical to success. If you don’t set up your trip destination, how can you get there? You can’t. You’ll be going around again and again, and then come back exhausted and disappointed. Then you’ll say, “Setting goals doesn’t work!” What doesn’t work is NOT setting a goal, or setting it incorrectly.

Setting goals correctly helps us to focus and to keep the commitment, they also keep us motivated and influence our success oriented behavior.

Have a clear idea in mind. Thinking something like “It would be good to lose several pounds by Christmas” doesn’t help and doesn’t work. Your real goal should be:

•        Clear
•        Specific and measurable
•        Challenging, but realistic and achievable
•        Stated in a present tense rather than in a future tense

Think about a certain number of pounds by which you can reduce your weight over a certain period of time. Promising yourself to be 10 pound less by next week is obviously a promise to fail and would also be dangerous to your health.

IMAGINATION is a good way to overcome a negative habit and move toward your desired life. Imagine yourself already DOING that, and experiencing the feelings associated with it. Experience it completely, as if it has already happened. Live the life of your dreams NOW. Visualize yourself being a smaller size, and feeling elegant and attractive. Imagine how you FEEL buying new clothes, FEEL how they touch your elegant body. Imagine choosing new styles and colors. Imagine how other people are looking at you, and enjoy it! Remember these feelings and let them inspire you.

And know, it is not just about your weight; it’s about health, relationships, success, and whole life! YOUR life.

You will be tomorrow where your thoughts take you.”

Tools For Detoxification Part 3 By Nadine, N.D., C.N.S

AdminCyndi — Wed, 14 Mar 2012 12:35:21 +0000

Welcome to the third and final portion of the Tools for Detoxification series. Before I continue, let me say congratulations to each of you who have read this material, and a Hello to those of you who have explored the concepts within parts 1 and 2.

Hello is such a powerful word. When we say hello, we acknowledge that something is there. We give Attention to IT so that we can then use our Intention to shift IT. (this is big!!!!!!)

IT can be physical (my big toe hurts), mental (looping thoughts), emotional (sad, angry, depressed, erratic behavior, etc) or spiritual (stuck energy). We have explored various techniques in sending a hello to the skin, lungs, lymph, liver, bowel and kidneys. Today we will delve into sending that hello to our thoughts and emotions. It is my personal belief that all outer symptoms (skin eruptions, constipation, dis-ease, etc) begin with inner turmoil, or emotional/mental stress. By cleansing the emotional and mental bodies of accumulated toxic waste, we allow healing to bloom from our core, through our organs, tissues, etc, all the way out to our skin. Basically, healing from the inside out.

According to Hering’s Law of Cure:

Law I ~ healing progresses from the deepest part of the organism (mental, emotional levels and vital organs) to the external parts. [inside out]

Law II ~ symptoms appear and disappear in the reverse of their original chronological order of appearance [last will be first, first will be last]

Law III ~ healing progresses from the upper to the lower parts of the body [top to bottom]

Toxic or negative mental thoughts tend to create a loop. The more we focus on negative chatter, we give power to it and create more of the same. Examples of negative chatter can include statements such as “I am worthless”; I’ll never get it right”; “I’m afraid!”; “Who would want me?”; “No one loves me”; “I can’t do that”; “I’ll never get it right”; “I’m so stupid”; etc, etc. Negative thoughts are crippling. They are dis-empowering. And riding on and within those waves of mental trash come the flood of destructive emotions that eat away at our self-esteem. Emotions like despair, anger, hatred, sadness, self-loathing, distrust and invalidation. Clearly toxic emotions breed imbalance and fester dis-ease.

We already know that cleansing or detoxifying is the process of letting go of what we are not. Before we can let go of something, we have to acknowledge its presence (say hello). Once we have acknowledge it, we can then choose to hold on to it, or we can choose to release it. Here are a few processes you can explore, which allow you to say hello on an emotional and mental level, then provide a release on a physical level.

Wear It ~ This is a one hundred percent effort activity where you dress, walk and talk the emotion you are wallowing in. As an example, let’s say you are exploring being a victim. Exactly what does that look like? What outfit best demonstrates your being a victim? Does it have a specific color? A specific kind of material? Are there sunglasses to hide behind or a thick coat? What does the walk look like? What type of eye-contact do you have? What do you sound like (whining , mumbling, silent)? Put 100% of your attention into this outfit. Now go out and walk around in life being this emotion. Be around people. Give it 100%, of your time, your energy, your effort. Don’t stop until you are truly sick and tired of being around yourself. You will know when you are complete. When you are ready to be done, all you have to do is take off the clothes. (go home first, I wouldn’t want you to get into trouble by stripping down in public). As you redress, be aware of any and all shifts in colors or fabric you are choosing. Be aware of the new light-hearted you.

Egg Throw ~ This event has three parts and is great for the out-doors. Part 1: get 1-3 containers of raw eggs and a sharpie pen. Print the emotion, person, or situation you are releasing on the egg. Put one word on each egg. As an example, if I am wanting to release invalidation, my eggs will have the names of each person who I feel has invalidated me in some way, or the event that occurred when I felt invalidated. If one name has quite a bit of intensity for you, load their name on more than one egg. The point here is to say hello to the person(s) and to the emotions.

Part 2: time to find a private place to throw your eggs. You are also looking for a nice hard vertical surface. Rocks work really well for this activity. My favorite is to go for a long hike and find a quite, secluded area with rocks so that I can give this egg throw my full attention. This part of the activity requires a full body commitment including vocals. Pick up an egg. Read the word on the egg. Now scream out that word as you throw the egg with everything you’ve got against the rocks. Remember… give it everything you’ve got. Repeat the process until all of your eggs are gone. If you feel like crying… do it. If you feel like dancing… do it. Do what comes naturally to you after the release. Once all the gunk is cleared out, there is room for you to explore new things.

Part 3 is all about you and what you want to explore and create for yourself. Contemplate all the new emotions you can now have as you hike back to your car/home. Now you can have more joy, peace, calm, and happiness.

Saying Hello to Body Parts ~ This activity can be done anywhere, anytime. Let’s say you discover you are filled with thoughts of self-doubt. The more you focus on the destructive self-talk, the more you are aware of anxiety, panic and fear coursing through your body. Breathe In. We are now going to send out a series of hellos, allowing the vibration of the word to ripple away from your body. Begin by saying hello to the doubts (we are simply acknowledging they are there, we are not ‘going to them’). You might find you need to say hello a few times to the head noise. As an example: “hello mind chatter”, “hello self-doubt, I see you. Oh and by the way you are fired.”

Now say hello to anxiety. Say hello to panic. Say hello to fear. Next ask your body, “where am I holding onto fear?” Maybe your hands are gripped tightly by the fear, if so, send a hello directly to your hands. If your stomach is tight, send a hello to your digestive tract. Repeat this process of sending a hello directly to each and every part of your body that is holding onto one of those emotions. Allow the physical body to release. This process can take between 15-30 mins.

When you feel relaxed and complete, give thanks to your body for releasing all that you are not. Now let’s fill in with the energy of something positive. Decide what you would like more of… say more laughter, more fun, more silliness. Visualize a large ball (like a fit ball) and fill it up with laughter, joy, fun etc. Place or visualize the ball at the top of your head (crown chakra). Imagine popping the ball, allowing all that laughter energy to flood into every cell of your body from the crown of your head, flowing all the way out your feet. Repeat as many times as you desire. Flood your body/being with wonderful uplifting energy.

Write about it/Burn it ~ This is a very powerful, three part activity. The first part is all about saying hello in written form. Get out some paper and write an uncensored Dear John letter about the event or situation that is bugging you. Say everything in the letter you have not been able to say in person. This is about letting go. So use caps, bold, underlines. Shout it out, scream it out on paper. The point is to get it out in a totally uncensored manner. Spelling is immaterial. Making sense is immaterial. When you feel complete, put the letter down and walk away for an hour or a day.

Round two: read your letter quietly to yourself. See if you missed anything. If you have, then keep writing. Write until you are empty. Write until you know there is nothing left to say. Put the letter down and walk away again.

Round three: taking back your power. If you desire, ask someone to be a witness. Their only job is to sit quietly and validate your process. If you want to do this alone, that is your right. Your job now is to Read the letter OUT LOUD! By reading this garbage out-loud you are acknowledging the process, saying hello, and reclaiming your personal power. After you have read the letter out loud it is time to release all that crap. BURN the letter!

Color Drain & Fill ~ This is a very fast method for releasing energy that does not serve. I use this one all the time with my clients whether we are in the gym training, my office, or sitting in a public venue. Pick a color to represent the emotion you are wanting to release. Let’s say you are dealing with the grief of losing a pet. For demonstration purposes, you have selected a color combination of rust/green to represent all the grief and sorrow you are feeling. Next, choose one emotion that you would rather experience (example, you want to feel nurtured). Pick a color to represent the feeling of being nurtured (say peach).

Ground your body so that as we do this releasing process we allow all that is not you (grief, sorrow) to be used as fertilizer for the earth mother. Breathe out rust/green. Breathe in peach. Breathe out grief/sorrow. Breathe in peach, the feeling of being nurtured. Breathe out rust/green… Breathe in calm, peach, nurture, peach. Keep this process going. There will come a point when all the rust/green is gone and all you are breathing in is peach. All you are breathing out is peach. Your entire body, your entire being is submerged in self-nurturing peach. Way to Go!

I have more, however I am being mindful of how many pages I have already written. These give you a nice place to begin. If you are working with Jim Self in the Mastering Alchemy program, you will be exposed to working with the Rose, the Pink Diamond and the Rays. There are so many wonderful ways to let go of what you are not so that you can step into all that you are! Remember, true healing happens from the inside-out. If you read these words and would like more assistance in shifting, I am an email away.

From your inside to your outside..YOU ARE LOVED

Shocking Confessions of a Drug Company Insider

AdminCyndi — Tue, 06 Mar 2012 20:34:14 +0000

The plot of this story seems to be ripped from the headlines … or maybe a movie about a big conspiracy or a cover-up of foul play … just like the Oscar award-winning “The Insider.” But the story is 100% true. In 2003, a top executive of the pharmaceutical giant Glaxo-SmithKline — worldwide Vice President of genetics — confessed that “The vast majority of drugs — more than 90% — only work in 30 or 50% of the people.”

What that means is … most prescription drugs DON’T work on most people who take them! Dr. Allen Roses is the pharmaceutical industry insider who made this shocking confession. Although it’s been an open secret within the pharmaceutical industry that most of the drugs it produces are ineffective in most patients, this is the first time that a high-ranking pharmaceutical executive has gone public.

Some industry analysts said that the confession of Dr. Roses is reminiscent of the famous words uttered by Gerald Ratner, a British retail magnate in 1991, who said that his high-street shops are successful because they sell “total crap.”But it’s one thing for a company to sell worthless products … and it’s another thing altogether to sell worthless products that kill instead of heal.

FACT:
In the U.S., the odds of being killed by conventional medicine are almost 20 times (2,000%) greater than being killed in an automobile accident and almost 30 times (3,000%) greater than being killed by a gun.

It’s no wonder that the majority of doctors are frustrated. They entered the medical profession wanting to cure people — but the only tools that medical school training provides them for treating patients are … drugs and surgery.

Doctors have been thrust headlong into a marketing culture that relies on selling as many drugs as possible to the widest number of patients. It’s a culture that has made Big Pharma the most profitable industry in the world — even though most of its drugs are useless, at best — and even possibly harmful or deadly for many patients.

Dr. Roses, an academic geneticist from Duke University in North Carolina, further states: “Drugs for Alzheimer’s disease work in fewer than one in three patients, whereas those for cancer are only effective in a quarter of patients. Drugs for migraines, for osteoporosis, and arthritis work in about half the patients.”

The growing sentiment among doctors is that they want to offer their patients more treatment choices for curing disease than the medical system offers. One member of that growing number of doctors is Dr. Paul Beals.

“I want to do more for my patients than what’s offered by the pharmaceutical industry because I realized earlier on that modern medicine has become, unfortunately, more of a big business than a healing science.”

— Paul Beals, M.D., C.C.N.
Georgetown University School of Medicine (Course Instructor 1996-2004: Introduction to Complimentary and Alternative Medicine)

When Doctors Don’t Know the Cure, This is What They Turn To

Some time ago, Dr. Beals focused his medical practice on holistic nutrition and complementary medicine. He set up a holistic program for cancer, heart disease, diabetes, stroke, liver disease, and other diseases. His challenge, however, was finding the resources for treating diseases … because conventional medicine offered only drugs and surgery.

He stumbled upon a book of medical breakthroughs and “forbidden treatments” that contained all the cures he was looking for. Interestingly enough, the book was written for the layperson — the general public — not medical professionals. And yet he was impressed to discover that every alternative treatment and healing breakthrough presented in the book was thoroughly researched, meticulously fact-checked and verified for its effectiveness. And it also came with footnotes from peer-reviewed, published medical research and scientific studies.

He now regards the book as “… the ‘gold standard’ … the ‘bible’ for alternative medicine” and believes “It should be in everybody’s home and in every doctor’s office.”

Dr. Beals is not alone in his high regard of the book. Countless enlightened doctors from around the world are avid fans of the book — and use the treatments presented in the book when they themselves or their family members are stricken with diseases or health problems.

Dr. Russell Simmons thinks that everyone needs this book of
medical breakthroughs and “forbidden treatments” in order to take control of their own health. Dr. Simmons is a medical doctor who sits on the faculty at Ohio State University, where he’s an Associate Professor of Ophthalmology. He’s also the Chairman of the Alternative Medicine Committee of the Columbus Medical Association

Dr. Simmons’s wife developed cancer 6 years ago, and underwent surgery which put the cancer in remission temporarily. A year ago, her cancer came back — and instead of turning to conventional cancer therapy, he and his wife turned to the discoveries presented in the book to help prevent further surgery and further progression of the disease.

A doctor friend of Dr. Simmons, whose practice is based in Hawaii, started developing cataracts. A chapter of the book revealed a discovery about some little-known eye drops … and he began administering the eye drops on himself and noticed significant improvement in vision. He continues to take the drops to this day.

The book of medical breakthroughs and “forbidden treatments” contains dozens of cures for the most prevalent diseases that plague mankind, such as

==> A $200 “Cure” for AIDS / HIV - A patented low-voltage device that stops the AIDS virus dead in its tracks. This inexpensive “in-home” device costs only $200, and is safe for home use.

==> A Nobel Prize Nominee Cures Cancer With 2 Common Household Items- A simple protocol for cancer treatment and prevention based on the use of small amounts of 2 inexpensive food substances combined together in specific proportions. Numerous independent clinical studies prove that these 2 food items provide a powerful and effective means of treating even the most advanced cancers. This method was shown to have a 90% success rate in saving terminal cancer patients from certain death.

==> An Infra-Red Helmet That Has a 90% Success Rate in Halting the Progression of Alzheimer’s Disease – There’s a space-age helmet that uses new “light beam” technology to reverse Alzheimer’s in as little as 30 days when used 10 minutes a day!

==> An Extremely Potent Anti-Inflammatory Breakthrough Does Wonders for Arthritis sufferers — Over 3 decades of painstaking research has led to the development of an anti-inflammation remedy that reduces swollen joints by 79%! The anti-arthritic marine lipids derived from a New Zealand mollusk have been tested extensively at the University of Queensland in Australia — and the results are quite dramatic!

==> An Herb That Virtually Eradicates Heart Disease - There’s an herb that has been used overseas to treat over 15,000 cardiac patients over a 20-year period — and there has been no recurrence of their disease.

Dr. Ross Andersen, a doctor of naturopathic medicine (N.D.) and chiropractic physician (D.C.), was constantly looking for ways to identify the root cause(s) — of his patients’ problems. He devoted many years of study looking for answers to the diverse health problems of his patients. He found the answers he was looking for in the same book of medical breakthroughs and “forbidden treatments” that has been praised by laypeople and doctors alike.

“This book goes far beyond anything that I’ve ever used,” said Dr. Andersen. It’s absolutely one of a kind … It’s so complete, so precise, so easy to use.” He particularly appreciates how simple it is for anyone to look up a disease in the index, then flip to the page(s) of the book that features the disease — and find treatments, procedures, healing modalities, and supplements that are not only effective, but also inexpensive, non-invasive, and free of side effects.

“This book is something that every alternative physician … and ultimately every regular physician, and every patient is going to want in their home or office so that they can get the most benefit and the answers that are necessary to get their health condition handled.”

Books offering miracle cures for practically every disease are available everywhere. But oftentimes, they present content that is erroneous, inaccurate, poorly researched — and unsubstantiated by science. It’s no wonder that doctors and scientists ridicule such “cures” as nothing more than folklore or kitchen table wisdom.

Water my Elixir by Nadine, N.D., C.N.S.

AdminCyndi — Mon, 27 Feb 2012 23:44:14 +0000

HEEELLLOOOOOO… Can you hear me? This is your body speaking. In a recent class with Jim Self (Mastering Alchemy), I heard him talk about the importance of Water!! Especially as we are IN the SHIFT. As your body, I thought I would add my two cents worth as well.

WATER is very important to me and vital to our overall health and well-being. My human body is anywhere from 55% to 78% water depending on my size. I am proud to say that 2/3 of my body is comprised of this glorious nutrient making it my main component. Did you know that 90% of my brain consists of water, so when I have a headache the first thing I really want is my main ingredient? My tissues and organs are mainly water as well. Here is my breakdown:

* my Muscle consists of 75% water
* my Brain 90% water
* my Bone 22% water, with
* my Blood consisting of 83% water

By drinking a healthy amount of water on a daily basis I can assist you with things like fat metabolism or the relief of muscle cramps. When you give me my ‘elixir’ I am pretty kewl. To help you better understand how vital water is within me, here are a few key functions:

*water transports Nutrients (good stuff) INTO my cells
* water transports Oxygen INTO my cells
* water transports Toxins (the yuk stuff) OUT of my cells
* water moisturizes the air in my lungs (I love this)
* water helps me protect our vital organs (yeah baby)
* with water our organs can then absorb nutrients better
* I am able to metabolize fat better with water
* our joints are protected and moisturized with water
* water regulates my body temperature so you are happy!!

Can you see why I am letting you know that every cell in our body needs water from head to toe? My basic (minimal) needs are 64 ounces of water a day. I metabolize fat better with double that amount. After 64 ounces of pure water, I can make herbal tea work. A yummy ‘fat flush‘ drink as well.

One day I heard another body say “I’m not thirsty so I don’t drink water”. I gotta tell ya, ‘thirst’ is the last indicator that I NEED WATER!

TRUST ME on this. When I feel fatigued, I need water. In fact water, my elixir, is a source of energy. When you give me my elixir I will give you a boost of energy. When I have a headache, I need water. When I am cranky, I need water. Here are a few more clues I can give you as to when I am in NEED of WATER!!!!

* when my Urine is DARK and/or SMELLY I do not have enough water to process the toxins within me. I need your help.
* When my skin is DRY I am trying to tell you I am parched. By the way, did I tell you that our Skin is considered our third Kidney? It is also our largest organ and needs my elixir.
* I leave white spots on our skin (say after pressing our thumb on our arm) or rings on our ankles or waist to let you know I am lacking hydration.
* I use ‘thirst’ as a last sign to let your attention. If we have hair growing on our tongue or BAD BREATH, please, give me some water!!!
* sometimes I will even attack our muscles and make them cramp up or jump all over the place to let you know we are dehydrated.
* I also let you know we are dehydrated by pulling out all the water from our colon. You consider it constipation, I consider it an act to help me find my elixir.

As you can see, you could greatly help us both out by flooding me with my Power Reserve…. WATER. I’ve done my best to show how EVERY cell within us needs our elixir. So GO FOR IT, fuel us up baby. Power UP with WATER!

With love, praise and adoration

Tools for Detoxification Part 2… By Nadine, N.D., C.N.S.

AdminCyndi — Wed, 15 Feb 2012 17:20:54 +0000

Hello and welcome back to the Tools for Detoxification series. In part 1 we explored the concept that when a person says, “I am ready for change”, the body says “Yippeee.. I CAN FINALLY HEAL!” (translation: I can finally let go of all of the junk I’ve been holding onto.) Since the human body is an incredible healing machine, when given the support it needs, will heal itself, since all healing comes from within. Letting go of what we are not (toxins, accumulated waste, toxic emotional thoughts, destructive behaviors, etc) is a process called cleansing or detoxification.

Part 1 focused on the Skin, Respiratory Tract and Lymphatic System. This issue, Part 2 will focus on the GI Tract, Liver and Kidneys. Part 3 will bring in detoxification via the Emotional Body.

As a recap: Toxins accumulate from a variety of reasons including but not limited to: stress, the use of antibiotics; the misuse of alcohol; improper diet including a high intake of refined wheat, refined sugar, artificial sweeteners, too much of, or a lack of protein; and a lack of stomach acid. On a physical level, the body will eliminate toxins via the skin, the respiratory tract, and the lymphatic system (all in part 1); as well as the GI or gastrointestinal tract which includes the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small and large intestine (bowel line) and rectum; via the liver and via the kidneys.

The use of an enema, colema, or colonic will assist in bowel or colon care and cleansing. An enema uses approximately 1-2 quarts of fluid, is held within the colon prior to evacuation, and lasts about 30 minutes. A colema uses five gallons of fluid, evacuation is at will, and lasts about 30 mins. A colonic lasts sixty to seventy minutes, uses between 30-50 gallons of fluid with evacuation expressed at will. ALL of these processes are very gentle, nurturing and cleansing. Here are a few combinations and their benefits.

Enema/Colema Solution Additives:

* Organic Coffee~ is one of the best additives to assist the detoxification of the LIVER. As an additive, coffee is best in the morning but can be used in the afternoon. Be Aware of the caffeine affect on the body. Make one cup of very strong Organic Coffee. Example would be to put the amount of coffee used to brew a pot, only use 10 ounces of water. To prepare your enema, mix one cup of very strong coffee with 1-2 quarts of warm water.

* Clay Water in the form of liquid Bentonite Clay assists the bowel in releasing compacted particles. This makes a more effective cleanser because it attracts a number of undesirable chemicals and removes them from the body. Use a Clay water enema/colema only at night. To prepare use 1/4 to ½ cup of Clay water with 1-2 quarts of warm water for the enema or with 5 gallons of water for a colema.

* Garlic ~ is an excellent additive if you think you might have worms or other intestinal parasites. Even if you do not have intestinal parasites or are unsure, it is a great bowel cleanser. Nothing lives in the presence of garlic. DO NOT MIX GARLIC with CLAY Water. To prepare the garlic additive, place four clean and unpeeled garlic cloves in a blender with one cup of water. Liquefy the garlic. Strain and add the garlic water to the enema/colema water.

* Flaxseed Tea ~ is also known as linseed is high in linolenic acid and the most important of the essential fatty acids. When placed in water, brought to a boil and allowed to steep, flaxseed releases a water-soluble mucilaginous gel with excellent lubricative properties that are very soothing to the digestive tract. To make Flaxseed Tea, bring 2 quarts of water with 4 TBS of whole Flaxseeds to a boil. Turn off the stove, cover and allow it to cool. Add one cup of strained tea in the enema/colema water. This Tea is excellent to drink, strained or unstrained, throughout the day.

* Liquid Chlorophyll ~ is a wonderful additive for the bowel, is soothing and reduces swelling, inflammation, and pain. It cleanses, disinfects, and deodorizes too. Research lists liquid chlorophyll as the greatest natural cleanser and detoxifier. To use add one teaspoon of liquid chlorophyll for every two quarts of water. Combining liquid chlorophyll with flaxseed tea is especially effective.

The liver has over 1 1/2 quarts of blood flowing through it per minute and is the body’s primary filter and detoxification site for the blood. The body can survive without a colon or stomach but not without a liver. The liver uses over 12 percent of our total energy supply and has special cells which filter and destroy foreign bacteria, fungus, viruses, mycoplasmas and cancerous cells. If the bowel is unsuccessful at eliminating harmful substances, they are re-absorbed into the blood. The toxins are then sent to the liver, putting a huge burden on the liver. The liver has many other jobs to perform such as:

*Fat, protein and carbohydrate metabolism

*Hormone and foreign chemical metabolism

*Carbohydrate, vitamin and mineral storage

* Assimilation and storage of fat soluble vitamins

* Bile formation and

* Synthesizing blood proteins

As you can see, adding extra work to the liver is not a good idea. Toxins in our body can accumulate in the subcutaneous fat layer under our skin and in the liver. Since the liver is our body’s major waste disposal system it is important to enhance liver function. When I am working with someone, our first line of defense is to incorporate the Liver-Dump. Our second line of defense is to cleanse the liver with an enema, colemea or colonic. Below I include a 3 day Liver-Dump. If you are committed to a longer cleansing process (10-15 days) you can explore the Tissue Regeneration cleanse by Dr Bernard Jensen; Thisilyn Herbal Digestive Sweep by Natures Way; numerous options are available form Garden of Life; or you can contact me and we can co-create a nurturing cleanse designed for YOU. The point is to cleanse the liver.

This particular Liver-Dump can be done for three consecutive days and is to be done on an empty stomach. I have my clients take 10 days off before repeating this process. The ingredients include: 2 TBS Olive Oil + 2 TBS Pure Lemon Juice (not from concentrate) + a pinch of Cayenne Pepper. Directions: First thing in the morning, on an empty stomach, mix ingredients together in a small portion (about ¼ cup) of warm water and drink. You can then go take a shower or prepare your breakfast. Your liver will usually dump on the third day. If you would like to dump the Gallbladder at the same time, add in one clove of crushed garlic.

I have many people ask for my Fat-Flush drink recipe. This mix will also allow you to flush your kidneys. I suggest drinking 2-3 of these containers daily with the remainder of their fluid intake coming from pure water. You can drink this hot or cold.

Basic FAT-Flush recipe:
32 oz of Water
2 TBS of Bragg’s Apple Cider Vinegar (Bragg’s has the Mother within)
2 TBS Pure Lemon Juice
1 dropper full of Green Tea Extract
liquid Stevia to taste (I alternate between Orange Valencia and Lemon Drop depending on the flavor I desire to create)

I personally make my Fat-Flush drink by the gallon. If you desire to do likewise the combination is ¼ cup Bragg’s ACV + ¼ cup Pure Lemon Juice + 1 squeegee GTE + liquid Stevia to taste. Each ingredient within the Fat-Flush drink has a purpose.

* BRAGGS ACV: provides energy, cleans the liver, helps detoxify the body and boosts the immune system. Fat is simply toxins so this is flushing out the fat.

* Pure LEMON Juice: dumps the liver and built up toxins

* GTE ~ Green Tea extract: provides energy, is an antioxidant, boosts your immune system and cranks up your metabolism allowing your body to burn fat (yeah baby)

* Stevia: sweetens the fat-flush mix and is the number 1 herb to balance Insulin. Stevia will not elevate your blood sugar levels.

Any time you combine Olive Oil with Lemon Juice you will assist the liver in releasing toxins. Be creative with those ingredients as you make salad dressings or toppings.

By now you have a greater understanding of what I meant when I said I could talk or write about detoxification for a while. Hopefully all of this information will have value for you. My suggestion is to print all of this information out so you can refer back to it. With these notes you have a better understanding that by detoxifying the body, we can optimize the well being of our healthy cells. We optimize the well-being of our immune system and provide an avenue for alignment, balance, and harmony with who we truly are. In Part 3 we will explore some wonderful tools on how to detoxify the Emotional Body. So I encourage you to come back.

As always, if I can be of service to you on your nutritional path, I am a phone call or an email away.

PEACE during your cleansing process + GOOD WILL and harmony within your cells and being + JOY to you as you step into all that you are. Much Love awaits you.

Nutrition for the Soul: Tools for Detoxification – Part One by Nadine, N.D., C.N.S Creating Results Holistic Center

AdminCyndi — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 16:28:49 +0000

In a recent phone conversation my client asked “Why is it that every time I say I am finally ready to put begin my program or put greater effort into it, I get sick?” That was a great question! And one that makes perfect sense. The human body is an incredible healing machine and when given the support it needs, will heal itself, since all healing comes from within. Thus being smart, the body will hold on, and hold on, and hold on, until given the command to do something different. When a person states, “I am ready for change”, the body says “Yippeee.. I CAN FINALLY HEAL!” (translation: I can finally let go of all of the junk i’ve been holding onto.)

The body will heal itself when given the support it needs. Part of this healing process is to assist the body in the elimination of accumulated or trapped toxins thus providing a way for the whole body system to regain balance, harmony and alignment. This process can be called cleansing or detoxification. For ease on your brain, I am going to split this article into three parts. Part 1 will focus on the Skin, Respiratory Tract and Lymphatic System. Part 2 will focus on the GI Tract, Liver and Kidneys. Part 3 will bring in detoxification via the Emotional Body.

Toxins accumulate from a variety of reasons including but not limited to: stress, the use of antibiotics; the misuse of alcohol; improper diet including a high intake of refined wheat, refined sugar, artificial sweeteners, too much of, or a lack of protein; and a lack of stomach acid. One of the prime functions of stomach acid is to facilitate the breakdown of proteins. Low stomach acid may prevent the complete breakdown of proteins, preventing them from being fully assimilated thus leaving food for bacteria to grow.

There are a variety of ways we can cleanse or detoxify the body and assist it in eliminating those toxins. Methodologies can include the use of eliminative herbs that act as laxatives, diuretics, diaphoretics (promote sweating) and blood purifiers; the use of enema, colemea or colonics to assist the bowel in the elimination of the toxins; and the use of skin brushing, movement, and meditation.

On a physical level, the body will eliminate toxins via the SKIN, our largest cleansing organ; via the RESPIRATORY TRACT which includes the nose, pharynx, larynx, trachea and lungs; via the LYMPHATIC SYSTEM; via the GI or gastrointestinal TRACT which includes the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small and large intestine (bowel line) and rectum; via the LIVER and via the KIDNEYS.

I could talk/write for hours on detoxifying the body (just ask Jim, hee hee hee hee). My intuition says you would find greater value in knowing a few ways within each of the above listed avenues to explore this wonderful process of letting go of what is not you. So here we go.

Our SKIN is also known as our third kidney and considered to be the largest cleansing organ.

Dry skin brushing: is one method which greatly enhances detoxification and cleansing. Brush dry skin immediately before showering or bathing. Start with the feet and gently brush up toward the heart. Brush from the extremities toward the center. Brush gently in a circular motion around your abdomen and breast/chest area. A proper dry skin brush is made of vegetable bristles that are neither too stiff nor too soft. It shouldn’t scratch, but you should feel some friction against the skin. It takes approximately ten minutes to dry brush your entire body. This process feels invigorating as dead cells are allowed to sloughed off the body. Another ‘method’ of skin brushing or scraping can be enjoyed while sitting in a Dry Sauna. The Dry Sauna will soften the skin and allow the body to sweat. As toxins are leaving the body via the skin, you can use a brush or your finger nails to ‘brush’ or ‘scrape’ off the top layer of skin. Again this will feel invigorating.

Bath Soaks are another wonderful method used to release what we are not!.

Braggs Apple Cider Vinegar Bath can be used when the body is too acidic. This soak is a quick way of restoring the body’s acid-alkaline balance. 1 cup to 2 quarts of Braggs ACV is added to a bathtub of warm water. Soak for a good 20 mins to remove excess uric acid in the body. This soak is especially good for the joints, arthritis, bursitis, tendonitis, and gout. If your skin smells of ACV you can enjoy a quick shower to remove the residue from the bath.
Epson Salts Baths are known to pull toxins from the body. Varieties can include:
Epsom Salts + Ginger: to open pores, eliminate toxins, and to eliminate pain. Stir one cup of epsom salts and 2 tablespoons of ginger in a cup of water first, then add to the bath. Do not remain in the tub for more than 30 minutes.
Epsom Salts + Sea Salts + Sesame Oil: helps with dry skin and stress. Combine 1 cup of Epsom salt + 1 cup of sea salt (from a health food store), +1 cup of sesame oil and put into a warm to hot tub of water and soak for 20 minutes. Pat yourself dry.
Bentonite Clay Baths are considered a fast detoxification method. The Bentonite Clay will absorb up to 40% of its size in toxins. (NOTE: While bentonite is a great absorber, it is widely used to seal well-casings and ponds. It would very likely seal many septic systems too, costing thousands to repair. Use sparingly or with caution!) Soak 2 to 4 pounds of bentonite clay in a flat container overnight to dissolve it. Add your desired amount of clay to your tub of warm water. Soak time will depend on the amount of clay used. With 2 pounds of bentonite you could soak for one hour; with 4 pounds you would soak only about 30 minutes. The more bentonite used, the faster the detoxification. Again USE CAUTION here!! You might even consider starting with 1 pound of clay.

We can provide elimination pathways for the RESPIRATORY TRACK and LYMPH System with exercise. Each and every time you challenge or expand your Lungs, you are allowing the body to release toxins. Lymph, transports nutrients to the cells but also exports toxins. Lymph grabs particles too large to enter the bloodstream, then those particles get attacked by immune cells in the lymph nodes. The lymph system has to be stimulated unlike our blood, which has to be pumped. Ways to stimulate the lymph are through skin brushing, massage, and exercise. You have lymph nodes in the arm pits, and femoral arteries so it makes sense that you will stimulate those nodes when you move your arms and legs. Note: water consumption is critical for lymph flow.

Suggestions for Movement:

Move your arms during a BRISK walk. You can swing them or pump them. If you would like to add some resistance to the move, carry small weights in your hands.
Any movement that uses ARMS and LEGS will move your lymph (ball toss, lunges, step ups on a bench etc)
Running or Jogging (moves both body parts and tells your lungs to release)
Change up your lung expansion during your cardio sessions by doing spikes every 30 seconds. Meaning go from a lower level to a higher level of intensity every 30 seconds
Change up your intervals to every 45 seconds
How about 10 seconds down with 20 seconds up
Can you see all the variety you can explore to EXPAND YOUR LUNGS?

I told you I could talk or write about detoxification for a while. Hopefully all of this information will have value for you. I am going to end here with Part 1 of the Tools for Detoxification series. In Part 2 will will explore detoxification via the GI Tract, Liver and Kidneys. As knowledge grows, you have a better understanding that by detoxifying the body, we can optimize the well being of our healthy cells. We optimize the well-being of our immune system and provide an avenue for alignment, balance, and harmony with who we truly are.

As always, if I can be of service to you on your nutritional path, I am a phone call or an email away.

PEACE during your cleansing process + GOOD WILL and harmony within your cells and being + JOY to you as you step into all that you are. Much Love awaits you.

More to the Heart than Meets the Eye by Jason Mangrum

AdminCyndi — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 15:49:05 +0000

As the center of the cardiovascular system, the heart plays an important role in the life and health of the human body. It is responsible for delivering oxygen-rich blood to other parts of the body and regulates many areas of our auto immune system.

When assessing our health, the very first vital sign the doctor or health worker seeks is our heartbeat. This 10-ounce muscle can pump around 2,000 gallons of blood through some 60,000 miles of blood vessels each day. By comparison, a faucet would need to be turned on all the way for around 45 years to put out enough water to equal the amount of blood pumped by the heart in an average lifetime.

The heart generates its own electrical power and it can continue to beat even when taken out of the body, as long as it is supplied with enough oxygen. The energy the heart creates is enough to drive a truck 20 miles each day; and if you collect that energy within a person’s lifetime you’d have enough to drive to the moon and back.

In the human fetus, the heart starts beating even before the brain has developed. And in more sublime ways, the heart continues to demonstrate its importance. Since the dawn of time it has been considered the seat of emotion, virtue, courage and wisdom.

Ancient cultures believed the heart has a hand in determining our decisions. Poets and romantics have always celebrated the heart as the embodiment of love, romance and passion. Artists have rendered the heart in an infinite number of creative and surprising ways — from fiercely burning to being hard as stone.

In his classic “The Little Prince,” the writer Antoine de Saint-Exupery forever elevated it by declaring that “it is only with the heart that one can see rightly.”

It’s ironic that science and human understanding are finally beginning to understand and validate what human consciousness has always been certain about: there’s more to the heart than meets the eye.

Beyond merely pumping blood to the rest of the body, scientists have discovered that the heart may actually have a larger, more robust role in directing and aligning many systems in the human body so that they all function harmoniously. A new discipline has emerged called neurocardiology, and it focuses on the nervous system within the heart (also referred to as the “brain” of the heart) and how the heart and the brain communicate with each other through the nervous system.

That the heart and the brain maintain a constant dialogue is significant. It had been previously thought that the brain directed all the other biological mechanisms of the human body. New evidence suggests that the brain is the object of control, rather than the controller.

In 2007 the eminent neuroscientist Dr. Richard Davidson of Harvard University presented his research on how social and emotional learning changes the brain. This and other discoveries tell us that the heart actually controls the brain, particularly in matters of intuition, creativity, spirituality and other “right-brain” modes of thinking. Continuing research at the Institute of Heart Math (IHM) has discovered that the heart does communicate with the brain through four channels:

1. Neurological communication through the nervous system

2. Biophysical communication through pulse waves

3. Biochemical communication via hormones

4. Energetic communication through magnetic fields

The heart sends instructions to the brain through each of these channels.

The mind then responds to these cues from the heart by transforming its state accordingly; it synchronizes with the heart’s current state. The interaction is nothing less than fascinating.

If the heart, for example, is in a negative emotional state, then it sends corresponding negative cues to the brain. The brain processes these negative messages and directs the rest of the body accordingly. That is why when you suffer from a negative emotion, the rest of your being seems to echo that negativity as well.

Another significant finding by the IHM is that coherence may even occur between two different people, when the magnetic field generated by one person’s heart synchronizes with that of the other. Perhaps this is what people truly mean when they say they feel “good vibes” around certain people, or “bad vibes” when they are around other people.

The importance of these two new discoveries opens up infinite new possibilities in the growth of human consciousness and understanding.

If the heart can indeed influence the mind, then it would be possible to create positive opportunities for the individual simply by encouraging positive thoughts and emotions, and by keeping the heart in a positive or happy state.

This, in fact, is the mission of the IHM, which is dedicated to help people combat stress in order to induce desirable developments in their lives. The second discovery — that heart activity between two or more people can be synchronized — means that happiness (or any emotional state, for that matter) can be communicated and shared with others, causing a contagious wave of shared thoughts and emotions.
