"There is nothing in a caterpillar that tells you it's going to be a butterfly." ~ R. Buckminster Fuller

wintergreen-plantHeart Disease is still the leading cause of death for men and women in the U.S., and physicians are growing more concerned at the age and rate of incidence that the problem is occurring in people.  The Center for Disease Control and Prevention says that in 2009, heart disease is projected to cost more than $304.6 billion. Since forty-seven percent of cardiac deaths occur before emergency services or transport to a hospital is manifested, and since this disease is the leading cause of death, any precautions one can take against this horrible disease is a very good thing. Fortunately, there are many, many precautions that may lessen one’s risks.

As always, I like to look at disease from a whole body, holistic approach. This includes, and begins with the mind and examining emotional problems that may be having an effect on the body. In the book Feelings Buried Alive Never Die, by Karol K. Truman, she says that the following feelings may be contributing to heart problems; Read the rest of this entry »

fruit-cooking-foodFermenting vegetables (like sauerkraut)  used to be common practice, and necessary too as this provided people a way of preserving foods before refrigerators came to be. Interestingly enough, fermented foods had more healthful benefit than just simply being part of a meal. Fermented foods that have not been heated can contain billions of probiotics as well as life enhancing enzymes. Probiotics are good/or “friendly” bacteria that kill off bad bacteria. Many studies have found that so many problems start with a bad bacteria overgrowth in the intestines, such as candida, which in time can spread throughout the body. New studies are even linking a specific bad bacteria in the colon with obesity. Naturopaths teach that a person is only as healthy as their digestive system is, and health authorities like Dr. Christopher and Bernard Jensen taught that 90% of disease begins in the colon. It is very important to keep a clean colon, but it is also important to provide the colon with good bacteria to help protect the body.

Young Livings Life 5 is an excellent probiotic that can help implant good bacteria into the colon, however it is a good practice to eat foods high in probiotics as well. Unsweetened yogurt is okay, but it isn’t likely to implant enough friendly bacteria into your colon. Kiefer, found near yogurt in grocery stores is better then yogurt (make sure it is unsweetened). Foods such as fermented vegetables are another excellent and delicious way to supply your body with probiotics. The key is that it must be raw, cooked/heated sauerkraut and vegetables have no probiotics in them because the heat kills the good bacterias. This means that making your own is ideal; especially considering it is easy, and far less expensive too! Read the rest of this entry »

Are you struggling to loose weight? Or are you relatively thin, with some problem areas where weight seems to collect? Do you exercise regularly, and yet cannot seem to shed unwanted pounds? There may be some things you are doing to sabotage you weight loss program unknowingly. Read the 13 tips below which may help you achieve your goals.

  1. Don’t drink alcohol with your meals. Carbs and alcohol don’t mix and can add pounds, especially around the belly, and especially if it is sugary drinks like margaritas. Try to stick with red or white wine, and still, try not to eat carbs if you are drinking alcohol with your meal. Meats and veggies. On nights you know you are going to party, perhaps you could step up your exercise regime a few notches and add some cardio.
  2. 60 to 70% of immunity is in the gut, and bad bacteria in the gut is associated with weight gain. Inner Defense, Digest and Cleanse, and Life 5 are wonderful products people have used since the ingredients have been found to help promote healthy bacteria in the digestive tract.

According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, more then one third of America’s adults are obese, which totals out to around 72 million people. A 2003-2004 test done by the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES),  indicated that an estimated 17 percent of children and adolescents ages (2-19) years are overweight. What’s worse, is that children who are overweight are more likely to struggle with weight problems for the rest of their lives.  When one considers all of the fat free, dieting fads, and weight loss supplements out there, the reason so many suffer from this is truly a mystery. Or is it? A thought to ponder is that the weight loss industry is a very big industry, and unfortunately if you lose weight permanently, the industry looses a customer! The flash diets are for the most part dangerous, and fat free foods are not only dangerous and bad for your body and brain, but they are a hoax.

It is important to realize that any truly good health program is not quick. The process in reprogramming the body takes time, and is like peeling an onion. Health authorities teach that no matter what is ailing you, there are 3 basic levels to getting well, cleansing, nourishing, and maintaining. And, there are steps to the levels which differ slightly depending on what your individual problem is!

The reason some  people (not all) have trouble loosing weight and keeping it off, is they see their health problem as more of an emotionally devastating problem, rather then a serious health problem that should be dealt with.  Therefore, the incentive to change their lifestyle is based on emotions that come and go. A true weight loss program is not a diet, it is a lifestyle change, an ongoing process of in with the good and out with the bad. A permanent change as this takes time, patience and determination. Whether a persons weight is from hormonal imbalance, or just plain overeating, a truly healthy lifestyle change can in time correct this according to leading health experts.

After a detox fast, see previous article,  it is important not to undo everything that has just been done. Ways people undo their work of detoxing are by breaking a fast with heavy, cooked foods, like a hamburger and french fries for example! Health authorities say soft raw foods and broths are good to break a fast with, and it is so important to chew thoroughly! Food particles in the stomach that are too large can be very bad, you can even develop allergies to foods by not chewing properly and it is taught that many digestive problems could be corrected if people would just chew their food thoroughly. It is suggested that people take their time coming off a fast, and break into eating heavier foods slowly. Now would be a good time to start using some enzymes with each meal. Enzymes become depleted with age, and are necessary for proper cell function, and proper metabolism function as they help digest fats, proteins and carbohydrates (1). And don’t ever forget to drink PLENTY OF WATER!!! This is so important. It is suggested that women drink around a gallon a day, and men drink even more depending on their weight and stature.

Another reason people do not detox is because most people do not know how to go about it, (unfortunately the only thing most grandma’s and grandpa’s remember about those spring tonics is how awful they tasted)!  Some people are simply afraid to cleanse because they worry they may “mess something up” and others have tried the popular detoxing products on the market and found results only temporary. It is important to realize, that although a once a year detox is good, it is not going likely to eliminate problems that have been there for years, and the results will only be temporary. The road to good health takes time, and a new lifestyle of consistently incorporating healthy practices into your life. There are no magic potions creating immediate, perfect health. Nevertheless, is so important to realize that cures are more expensive emotionally and financially, which is why preventative maintenance is so invaluable.

In going about detoxing, a basic understanding of how the body works will erase the mystery and fears people have about this subject, and help them have a better understanding of how to help themselves. Follow along and I’ll explain. There are four main elimination channels that health authorities teach are good to focus on in cleansing; the colon/digestive system, the kidneys/bladder, the liver/gall bladder, and the circulatory (blood/lymph) systems. The reasons for this are as follows. The circulatory (blood/lymph) systems travel the body and as they do this they pick up nourishment from the intestines and distribute them throughout the entire body. As it travels, the circulatory system also picks up toxins from around the body and takes them through the liver and kidneys which filter these toxins from the blood. The liver then empties toxins into the colon, and from there the colon and kidneys eliminate the toxins. Sometimes if the kidneys and liver are too overloaded the blood has been known to push toxins out through the skin. You can see how never cleansing can put strain on the entire body! People with unhealthy, backed up colons and dysfunctional kidneys are obviously in great need of help. Read the rest of this entry »
