According to MedlinePlus, “When crying [colick] lasts for longer than about three hours a day and is not caused by a medical problem (such as a hernia or infection), it is called colic. This phenomenon occurs in almost all babies. The only thing that differs is the degree.”

No one understands yet what makes a baby colicky but in a recent NY Times column by Anahad O’Connor it appears that perhaps we do know and just maybe the wise thing is prevention. The article states…

A 2009 study, for example, found that colicky babies had gastrointestinal inflammation and traces of a bacterium in their guts that may have prompted it. Babies without colic had no inflammation and a greater diversity of beneficial bacteria. Read the rest of this entry »

A Supplement for a Worn Down Immune System

July 5, 2011 in Antioxidant, Cancer, Cold / Flu, Congestion / Respiratory, Essential Oil Supplements, Family Health, Immune System, Intestinal Health, Longevity, Men's Health, Natural Health, Nutrition / Diet, Sleep / Insomnia, Supplements / Vitamins, Wellness, Women's Health by Evelyn Vincent | No comments

ImmuPro melatonin supplement Even during summertime our immune systems can get worn down leaving us more susceptible to summer colds and feeling rundown. When your immune system is worn down, try ImmuPro™!

ImmuPro™ provides the benefits of natural immune-supporting Ningxia wolfberry polysaccharides in the convenience of a delicious fruit-flavored chewable supplement.

Beta glucan has been shown in studies to enhance the immune system’s response and to help maintain cholesterol levels that are already within the normal range. ImmuPro™ contains organic reishi and maitake mushrooms, which support the activity of antibodies and natural killer cells. Numerous studies have documented the ability of these botanicals to reverse cancer and stimulate both cell-mediated and humoral immunity, dramatically boosting levels of macrophages, neutrophiles, phagocytes, B-cells, T-cells, natural killer cells, interleukins, and inter ferons.This formula is enhanced with calcium, zinc, selenium, and copper, all needed for proper immune function. ImmuPro™ also contains melatonin, one of the most powerful immune stimulants known, shown to clinically reverse tumor growth. Melatonin levels steadily decrease with age and are a factor that contributes to accelerated aging.*

“ImmuPro™ has beta glucans in it and you need that for digestive processes.” ~ Gary Young, founder Young Living Essential Oils.

Heart healthy fruits and vegetables Hormones that increase with age, such as cortisol can also contribute to many age-related chronic diseases such as high blood pressure, abdominal obesity and blood sugar imbalances. Lowering cortisol levels not only increases immunity but also increases insulin sensitivity and enhances fat metabolism.

One of the most easy-to-understand examples of the detrimental effects of cell membrane brittleness (aging) occurs in the blood vessel walls. As the blood vessels lose their flexibility, the risk of hypertension (high blood pressure) increases, as does the incidence of arteriosclerosis.

Taking measures to reduce stress, exercise, avoiding vitamin and mineral deficiencies with proper supplementation, and enjoying the relaxing effects of aromatherapy can help you get better control of your health.

Cholesterol and High Blood Pressure Testimonial

February 25, 2011 in Alternative Therapies, Antioxidant, Family Health, Gary Young, Heart Health, Longevity, Love, NingXia Red Juice, ORAC / S-ORAC, Testimonials, Wolfberry / Goji Berry by Jonell Elder | No comments

Cholesterol and high blood pressure are a problem in so many peoples lives or the lives of their loved ones. Many people are prescribed pharmaceutical drugs. Drugs that are widely advertised on television and costly. The drugs are meant to help manage the problem, and in most cases they do. Like most drugs, the drug use is not to cure the problem, rather it is to put a “band-aide” effect over the situation.

The way that has helped my mother with her cholesterol and high blood pressure and improvement towards better health is, natural, organic, antioxidant solution of NingXia Red. (Read more on NingXia Red).

NingXia Red combines the finest whole Ningxia wolfberry puree, blueberries, pomegranate, apricot, raspberries, red grapes, and lemon and orange essential oils. It’s the synergy of ingredients that help to make NingXia Red stand above all the others.

When a bottle of NingXia Red reaches your hands it is still bursting with excellent natural flavor and contains the specially handled wolfberry ‘puree’ – not an over-processed juice. Young Living uses a processing technique called “Nutritent Guard” which captures the natural goodness of the NingXia wolfberry, which includes the water-soluble plant pigments that give them their unique reddish-orange color: flavonoids, carotenoids, polyphenols, and anthocyanidins. Rich in antioxidants, the therapeutic benefits of these compounds are carefully preserved in this proprietary procedure and are guaranteed in every bottle of NingXia Red.

Mom has been on medication for both cholesterol and high blood pressure for many years, and in the last 8 months her medications have been greatly reduced. I feel VERY strongly that NingXia Red may have played a huge part in this reduction. She drinks 2 ounces a day.

Eight months ago both drugs were reduced to half of the original prescribed amount, along with her water pill being eliminated. A few weeks ago her blood pressure medication was cut in half again. She may be off of all medications in the future. What a tremendous gift of giving her longevity to her life!!

Thanks be to Gary Young and Young Living Essential oil for providing the world with such outstanding wellness products. My household will never be without them.

Short but sweet…May all who desire to, rid their cupboards of medications by discovering healthier and truly natural alternatives to better their health, and the health of people they know and love.

Detoxify Your Body with Young Living’s 5-Day Cleanse

February 14, 2011 in Detox, Energy Drink, Longevity, NingXia Red Juice, Professional Wellness Products, Weight Loss by Jennifer McBride | No comments

Are you looking for a safe, effective cleanse to help rid your body of excess toxins?

If you’ve never tried Young Living’s 5-Day Nutritive Cleanse I highly recommend it. I just finished the cleanse last week and I feel great!

I have to say, cleansing was much easier than I expected. The protein shakes you get to drink for breakfast, lunch, and dinner are quite tasty and very filling! I combined the Balance Complete protein shake with the Ningxia Red energy drink at each meal for added flavor. I never felt like I was starving the entire 5 days. There was always a healthy snack to look forward to and it felt so good to be doing something great for my body.

Benefits I experienced with Young Living’s 5-Day Cleanse:

Clearer and Softer Skin
Elimination of Sweet Cravings
Loss of Body Fat
Increased Energy
Greater Self-Control

With your purchase of Young Living’s cleanse you’ll get a detailed menu of what to eat so it’s super easy to follow. You may also save money and time because you won’t need to prepare normal meals; or if you’re still cooking for your family, you’ll save money not having to cook as much.

Some of the snacks you’re able to eat in between your protein shakes include things like apples, blueberries, pears, almonds, sunflower seeds, etc.

Cleansing is great to do every season (or every 3 months) to detoxify your body. Toxic build-up in our bodies contributes to a wide variety of health problems, and ridding ourselves of it becomes an essential component of a long-term commitment to wellness.

Once you’ve completed the 5 days of detoxification it’s likely that you’ll want to eat healthier and, if you feel anything like I do, you’ll want to make better food choices after you’ve cleansed.

*For the month of February Young Living is offering their 5-day Cleanse for 10% off. I think you’ll be very pleased with the results!

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions about Young Living’s 5-Day Nutritive Cleanse or any other Young Living products.

Sage essential oil, Blue Agave and dried Wolfberries, what is so great about these three natural products? Depending on the individuals way of thinking, is the key to answering this question.

Let me start with:

Sage essential oil.

Historical Data: Known as “herba sacra” or sacred herb by the ancient Romans, sage’s name, Salvia, is derived from the word for “salvation.” Sage has been used in Europe for oral infections and skin conditions. It has been recognized for its benefits of strengthening the vital centers and supporting metabolism.

Medical Properties: Antitumoral, hormone regulating, estrogen-like, antifungal, antiviral, circulatory stimulant, gallbladder stimulant.*

USES: Menstrual problems/PMS, estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone deficiencies, liver problems.*

Fragrant Influence: Mentally stimulating and helps combat despair and mental fatigue. Sage strengthens the vital centers of the body, balancing the pelvic chakra where negative emotions from denial and abuse are stored.*

Application: Dilute 1 part essential oil with 1 part V6 oil

Apply 2-4 drops on location,
Chakras/vitaflex points
Directly inhale
Diffuse
Take as dietary supplement.

Cautions: Avoid if epileptic.

Found in essential oil blends of: EndoFlex, Envision, Magnify Your Purpose, and Mister.

I am a Reiki Master and before having a session with a client, I diffuse Sage in my healing space to protect myself for negative energies.

Ten Tips For Winter Wellness

November 8, 2010 in Anxiety, Calming, Cold / Flu, Detox, Emotional Release, Immune System, Inspirational, Longevity, Men's Health, Menopause, Natural Health, Spirituality, Women's Health by Curt Siters | No comments

A friend of mine sent me this article about 10 tips for staying healthy during the holiday and winter season. They are simple tips for men, women and children to stay well.

The wonders of nature do not end with the last leaf falling from the tree – they are year round. Being outside or bringing plants into the home can go a long way to beating the holiday and winter blahs. Being active outside is a wonderfully therapeutic experience. It helps tone the muscles, enhance the cardio-vascular system, sharpens the mind, increase awareness and is spiritually cleansing.

No matter the time of the year, there is always something that can be done – the winter is no exception – go for walks, build snowpeople, ski or snowboard, take classes, plan next years garden – the list is endless.
