Laughter/Joy

• • It takes less energy to smile than it does to frown

• Smiling sows seeds
• A happy heart is like taking a good medicine
• In order to laugh, the right side of the brain is involved. **Most of us are left brain dominant
• Laughter increases the immune systems Natural Killer Cells which are responsible for making sure we stay healthy
• Laughter releases endorphins into the bloodstream. Endorphins are responsible for muscle relaxation and are the main component vibrations of the “ITS” harmonic over the sacrum which I use on most “patients”
• Most people are suffering from “terminal seriousness”
• Get your joy back by never letting go of your “inner child”
• Do not let anyone or any situation steal your joy from you
• Studies show a child laughs on average 150 times per day while an adult laughs only 4 times daily
• Notify your face that it needs to smile
• Retrain yourself to have fun!!

“LAUGHTER IS THE BEST MEDICINE” Norman Cousins

Fear is Power

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.”

It is our light, not our darkness that frightens us. We as ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?

Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn’t serve the world. There is nothing enlightening about shrinking so others won’t feel insecure around you. We were born to manifest the Glory of God within us. It’s not just in some of us; it is in everyone.

And as we let our own light shine, we unconditionally give other people the permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fears, our presence automatically liberates others.”

Marianne Williamson

Chakras

DR, CAROLYN MYSS on CHAKRAS

Chakras are non-physical energy centers that help transform and maintain our physical, mental and spiritual  life forces.   The word chakra is an ancient Sanskirt term that means “wheel of light”.   If we all believe that there is a higher source to our existance, than we are all a part of the “greater  force”.    The chakras do not,  themselves contain what scientists call energy. They  are vibrational and frequency energies that are pure light.  Some believe raw magnitic energy is drawn up from the planet, or cosmic energies from the universe  into  our major chakra centers to be utilized by the 22 minor  chakras in helping to maintain our physical, mental spiritual well-being

There are 22 chakras in the emotional, mental and spiritual bodies; 6 emotional chakras, 7 mental chakras and 9 spiritual chakras.

The major seven chakra line up on our spinal column which is than called the Kundalini.  This Kundalini energy is a field which binds the the spiritual and universe life forces together.  These living energy fields can be tapped into  more deeply,  by the application of focused creative will, like in yoga or breathe applications.  Also in using Reiki and other healing methods.

This pure energy  is drawn into the human body and transformer acts a transformer within the body. The purpose is to bring into the system a higher frequency of vibration, from the subtle portions of the Matrix Grid, into the thicker frequencies for purification and healing of negative energies. There are seven endocrine glands, each with a vibration and color, and one is assigned to each of the seven primary Chakras. For all intent and purpose this document defines the basic 7 chakras most familiar to all.  The image to the left of this post shows all 22 chakras; while the image on the right reflects the 7 basic chakras most of us are familiar with.

Note: In my practice the Kundalini of each and every patient is checked at the beginning of each visit.

Understanding Chakra Healing

Healing the human mainframe is multi-faceted. It takes more than pharmaceutical medicines, high quality nutritional supplements etc. It also takes an enormous body of work on the spiritual, mental and emotional aspects of the very mainframe we live and operate out of also known as our TEMPLE.

To open the chakras, one must first acknowledge and heal the emotional aspects of their being. Chakra imbalance is caused by Mental/Emotional imbalance. To treat this, I use a specific group of remedies which incorporate gemstone combinations, cell salts, flower essences, color therapy and specific homeopathy  orchestrated to alter recurrent unwanted patterns.

Belief System

Looking back at 30 years as a natural health care facilitator, it has occurred to me that the real issue when addressing the health/illness question isn’t can it be approached in a comprehensive manner, but rather if I as the facilitator, can assist someone in changing their belief system.

After all, we are all stuck in old and destructive patterns. The question is how we get to the place where we can truly understand that there is a viable reason for wanting to help ourselves. Without understanding the reason why, we will never get to that place in our lives where there is hope and without hope we are all destined to repeat the same destructive patterning both as individuals and as a whole.

Granted, many people are resistant to the idea of relinquishing ingrained thought patterns which hold steadfastly to the conquest of the senses world. However, there is none the less, an ever growing movement pushing back to our connection with the Creative Force. It is this attunement which affords meaning to a meaningless world. This is the attunement we each seek while approaching the center within. What’s more, when the physical body resonates with the Creative Force it returns to the equalizing and/or expression of the soul along with the soul potential.

Wobenzym/Rutozym Order Information

Doctor’s Choice Naturally

1-866-698-1581 (ask for Edie)

Wobenzym was initially created in 1930 at Cornell University in New York by two doctors from Germany. It is the world’s #1 anti-inflammatory second only to aspirin. Over 100 million people worldwide use it. The original intention of the product was to be a natural chelator which would clear out the plaque lining the arteries and veins which is causing INFLAMMATION! So it is directly associated to the heart, circulatory system and joints which are rich with blood vessels. Wobezym is famous for “curing” a number of health issues.

Since we can assume that throughout the course of one year we surely build up plague, you may want to consider using a bottle of 800 Wobenzyme at least once and better yet twice a year as a precautionary measure to keep the “pipes” flowing as they should. 4 tablets 3x daily in between meals is a good average dose.

While Wobenzym is used for inflammation throughout the entire body,Rutozym is a “newer” product and is specific for inflammation in and around the heart muscle.  The main ingredient in Rutozym is Nattokinase, a soy derivative used extensively in the Japanese diet which has been proven to prevent heart disease due to inflammation.  The dosage for Rutozym is usually lower than it is for Wobenzym.

WOBENZYM Anti-Inflammatory CRÈME used for topical joint and tissue repair is also available at this site.to purchase this product at WHOLESALE COST!!

NOTE: Wobenzym and Rutozym are absolutely NOT TO BE USED by those taking pharmaceutical blood thinners such as Coumadin, Plavix or similar!!

Armour/Nature/Westhroid Ordering Information

The following products are available in the United States by prescription only.  There are other ways to procure them.

Since the thyroid gland is of paramount importance to the health and well being of the entire body, I recommend you pursue a medical doctor who understand the thyroid gland and who will provide you with a prescription for it.

A well rounded physician should understand that the blood laboratory tests for the thyroid are often incaccurate and that using natural thryroid such as Armour, Nature or  Westhroid are much better than using synthetic thyroid products such as synthroid

If this is ABSOLUTELTY not possible there are numerous links on the internet where one can purchase “natural thyroid”.   One such link appears below

 What is Troche?

So you and your doctor have decided to replace your decreasing hormones with natural bio-identical hormones instead of the synthetic alternatives.  Congratulations!  But don’t stop here.  The next piece of the puzzle is how to get these “new” hormones inside your body where they can be most effective.

And don’t be too quick to swallow a capsule or tablet.  The problem is many of the benefits of natural HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy) will be lost as the hormones go through the process of digestion.

None of your circulating hormones are secreted into your digestive tract as a means of total body distribution.  Glands typically secrete hormones into the local circulation where eventually they reach complete systemic circulation. This is physiologically natural.  Delivery via the digestive tract is not.

When hormones are swallowed, they are exposed to digestive acids, bile salts, enzymes and metabolism as they are absorbed through the intestinal wall.  Then like everything absorbed by the digestive process, they are carried directly to the liver in what is called “first pass metabolism”.

As a total days’ amount of hormones reach the liver in a very short period of time, this does several things.

It adds to the livers burden and increases the risk of liver toxicity, injury and gallbladder disease—especially if other medications are also being taken.

The liver does not know that this sudden bombardment of hormones is temporary.  It operates on the basis that the hormone levels are way too high, and begins to make changes to counteract what it perceives to be a sudden increase in hormones.  The scenario is as follows:

• You take the hormones by mouth
• The digestion of those hormones  sends them to the liver
• The liver interprets this as abnormal
• The liver takes measures to lower the sudden increase in hormones

The net result is that it affects the way your body has access to the hormones.  It not only will affect the estrogen, progesterone or testosterone you may be taking but also other circulating hormones and chemicals as well.  These include thyroid hormone, cortisol and a substance called Anti-thrombin III that helps protect you from heart attacks and stroke.

These changes can increase your blood pressure and cholesterol; affect your mood; lower your thyroid and cortisol potential and increase your risk of heart attack and stroke.

At this time, viable options to swallowing your hormones include injections and transdermal (skin) delivery.  Injections have their drawbacks.

Transdermal delivery has gained rapid popularity during the last 10-15 years.  Hormones, nicotine, nitroglycerin and drugs for blood pressure and pain are just some of the different medications in a patch form that are applied to the skin for absorption.

Creams, suppositories and troches are other forms of transdermal absorption, all of which bypass the digestive system and first pass metabolism which is a good thing.

Creams can be very effective, but because of extreme variation in skin type (thickness, fat content, water content etc.) their absorption is erratic and unpredictable from one patient to the next.

Vaginal and rectal suppositories are very effective and dependable for drug delivery, but lack convenience.

TROCHES, however, offer the best of all worlds. A dosage form dating back to the 1800’s troches have regained tremendous popularity for the absorption of medications, especially hormones.

Troches are small lozenges that dissolve between the cheek and the gum over a period of 15-30 minutes.  They are very effective because the lining of the mouth is thin and rich in blood supply.

As it dissolves, the hormones are gradually absorbed into the blood stream, resulting in physiologically normal hormone blood levels.  Also because troches are Bio-Identical to the hormones your body naturally produces, they are efficiently recognized, utilized, metabolized and excreted by the body.

Since your own hormones last about 8-10 hours, your natural hormone replacement should be dosed about every 12 hours to insure adequate and balanced blood hormonal levels.

Because of the tremendous advantages in consistency, maximum absorbency and effectiveness, and the bypass of the digestive process, I strongly recommend troches as the primary dosage form for hormone replacement therapy for both men and women.

Note: Troches require a prescription from either an ND or MD.  Please choose a physician who understands the above process and knows how to read a saliva test for hormones.

Vinegar Hair Rinse/Restoration

Vinegar has been used for centuries to heal a number of bodily ailments and conditions.  What follows is a pice on using Apple Cider Vinegar for various hair and scalp conditions. To some of us this may be “new” information but for our grandparents and ancestors, using vinegar was a simple fact of life.

Vinegar Hair Rinse – Natural Hair Care Product

Hair is on the mildly acidic side of the pH scale and has an ideal pH of 4.5 to 5.5, which is close to that of an apple cider vinegar rinse (pH 2.9).

On the other hand, many of the hair care products we use, such as soap-based shampoos, bleaches, hair colors, and permanents are strongly alkaline.

Rinsing with apple cider vinegar will help balance the pH of your hair and remove the buildup that can result from the use of these styling products and inexpensive shampoos.

Rinsing will also close the numerous cuticle scales which cover and protect the surface of each hair shaft. This imparts a smoother surface which reflects more light and as a result leaves your hair shinier, smoother and easier to manage.

Don’t worry about the slight vinegar smell you will notice after rinsing. It will disappear completely as your hair dries.

Make your own healthy after-shampoo hair rinse by mixing 1/3 of a cup (75 ml) of ACV into a quart (1 liter) of water. You can then store this mixture in a plastic bottle and keep it in the shower for ready use.

If you would like to prepare a smaller batch of this vinegar hair rinse recipe to experiment with, try mixing 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of apple cider vinegar into 1 cup (250 ml) of warm filtered tap water.

Apply the vinegar rinse after shampooing and then rinse it all out, or for extra conditioning, you can leave the rinse on your hair. This natural hair care product can be used once or twice a week or more often as needed.

Hair Herbal Rinse – Natural Hair Care Product

By infusing various herbs into the vinegar rinse, you can enhance different hair colors and condition hair at the same time.

Here are some recommended herbs to use with apple cider vinegar:
• For dark hair:……Parsley, Rosemary, Sage
• For light hair:…..Chamomile, Flannel Mullein, Marigold
• For red hair:…….Henna
• For oily hair:……Lavender, Thyme, Witch Hazel, Yarrow
• For dry hair:…….Marigold
• For brittle hair:…Horsetail
To make your own herbal hair rinse natural hair care product:
1. Place 2 tablespoons of the dried herb (or herb mixture) into a muslin bag or tea ball and put in a warmed tea pot.
2. Pour 1 pint (500 ml) of boiling water over the herbs and infuse for 2 hours.
3. Allow the liquid to cool then pour it into a quart (1 liter) jar.
4. Add 1 pint (500 ml) of apple cider vinegar and mix well.
To add extra fragrance to the herbal rinse, try adding a few drops of lavender or lemon or rose essential oils.

Essential Oil Vinegar Hair Rinse – Natural Hair Care Product

If preparing a vinegar/herb infusion is not your cup of tea, then a faster way to enhance the hair conditioning effect of apple cider vinegar is to add a small amount of certain types of essential oils.

To make a batch, just add 5 drops of the essential oil to 1 cup (250 ml) of apple cider vinegar. When you are ready to rinse your hair, take 1 tablespoon of this mixture and add it to 1 cup (250 ml) of warm water.

Types of essential oils that go well in a vinegar hair rinse include:
• Lavender
• Lemon
• Rose
• Rosemary
• Sage

Dandruff and Itchy Scalp Relief

The acids and enzymes in ACV kill the “bottle bacillus”, a bacteria that is one of the causes for many scalp and hair conditions such as dandruff, itchy scalp, hair loss and often baldness.The bacteria clogs hair follicles allowing dry crusts to form that itch and flake.

For a simple home treatment for dandruff and itchy scalp, apply full strength ACV to the scalp, rub in, and leave on for a half hour to an hour before washing your hair.

For an extra strength natural hair care product, apple cider vinegar can be infused with herbs such as stinging nettle, southernwood, goosegrass, plantain and burdock root all of which help prevent dandruff on their own. Tea tree oil is another excellent natural anti-dandruff ingredient, which can be added.

Natural Hair Loss Treatment

In her book Apple Cider Vinegar- Miracle Health System, Patricia Bragg recommends trying the following natural hair loss treatment:
For bald and thinning areas apply to scalp an hour before shampooing- 2 Tbsp ACV mixed with a tiny pinch cayenne powder.
Then before going to bed, mix a royal jelly capsule with one tsp ACV, pat on bald areas and leave overnight.

The following herbs have also been used to prevent hair loss and stimulate hair growth:
• Burdock
• Catnip
• Chamomile
• Lavender
• Rosemary
• Saw Palmetto
• Thyme
• Yucca
Make your own vinegar mixture as per the herbal hair rinse recipe given above and apply it full strength to the scalp. Rub it in and leave it on for a half hour to an hour before washing your hair.

Apple cider vinegar is just one of many natural products that can be used to treat hair loss.

You can find more holistic tips on how to regrow lost hair as well as a natural hair loss treatment procedure that helps you address and eliminate the causes of hair loss, in an e-book called “How To Naturally Regrow Lost Hair in 15 Minutes a Day”.

The author, Todd Davis, is so confident in his natural method for reviving thinning hair and regrowing lost hair that he states if you don’t stop hair loss within 8 days and start sprouting up new hairs within a few weeks then you can have the e-book and all related bonus books for free

Home Remedy for Head Lice

Lice infestations are very contagious and are characterized by intense itching caused by an allergic reaction to a toxin in the saliva of the lice.

If you find that commercial lice preparations are too toxic (many contain pesticides) for you or your child’s skin, try the following herbal head louse treatment described in the Gale Encyclopedia of Alternative Medicine that uses all natural hair care products:
1. Carefully brush the child’s head with a mixture of 3 parts olive oil and 1 part lavender essential oil.
• First apply to a small area to test for allergic sensitivity or skin reaction.
• The hair should be saturated with the olive oil mixture and a shower cap put on for 5 hours.
• The olive oil clogs the breathing pores of the lice and they can’t hold their breath for more than 4 hours.
2. Follow this by an apple cider vinegar rinse, 1 tablespoon (15 ml) ACV added to 1 cup (250 ml) water, to unglue the nits from the hair.
• Nits or lice eggs are fairly small and can be pearly to grey in color.
3. Then, using a fine-tooth comb, parents should comb the child’s hair meticulously to remove the lice eggs from the hair shaft.
4. And finally, wash the child’s hair with a natural shampoo.

Once completed, check the child’s hair every other day for the next 10 days, and if needed repeat the treatment.
