Unsuspecting Women Suffer From Birth Control Pills

Healthy Woman1I stopped taking oral contraceptives before I became pregnant with my first child; about 13 years ago.  Back then I was not aware of all the dangerous consequences these drugs could pose.  Since then there have been a variety of new products that have hit the market.  Ones that have been marketed aggressively to young women are the contraceptives YASMIN and YAZ.  Besides being marketed as contraceptives, the big selling point was to help control acne and PMS symptoms.  Other “benefits” some women noticed was weight-loss.  Word of mouth spread about this benefit and young women ran to see their Doctors to get on these pills or switch over to them.

Little did they know what type of price they would pay for all the potential “benefits”.  Continue reading ‘Unsuspecting Women Suffer From Birth Control Pills’

The Healing Powers Of Fun and Laughter

laughteraudience

As I watch my daughters, especially when they are with their friends, there is just so much joy, fun and laughter.  Recently, my eldest said to me, “Mom you need to do more fun things.  Have some fun in your life.”   I must admit I tend to be such an introspective person and can read or sit in front of the computer (researching) for hours.  I lose sight of incorporating just pure fun which many times leads to laughter.  Looking at it from an “energetic” point of view, laughter vibrates at a high frequency and therefore can help shift a person’s health in many forms.

Fun and laughter can…
  • Dispel (at least temporally) distressing emotions like anxiety, anger, sadness and possibly give you a better frame of mind to deal with a difficult situation.
  • Cleanse you physically and emotionally due to its “releasing” effects.
  • Reduce stress hormones like cortisol and epinephrine (adrenaline) which increase stress, tension and inflammation.
  • Increase the feel good hormones like endorphins which are neurotransmitters found in the brain that have pain relieving properties similar to morphine and which rid the body of waste acids.
  • Keep you healthy by increasing the white blood cells which are essential for your immune system as well as raising infection-fighting antibodies

Understanding The Benefits Of Reconnective Healing

Dr. Eric Pearl's Right Hand

“We all desire to have great relationships, fulfilling occupations, joy, health, security and inner-peace. It is a constant challenge for us as human beings to keep every part within ourselves (emotional, mental, physical and spiritual) in balance, flowing, and attuned in order to achieve this desire.”

The above quote is found on the Home page of my website.  I have a deep commitment to help lead people towards balancing their multi-dimensional body; to helping them experience a “flowing” through life with less struggle and physical discomfort.  Currently one of the most powerful methods to help achieve internal balance is an energy type work called Reconnective Healing®, which has been brought to the public’s attention by Dr. Eric Pearl and his book The Reconnection. It is difficult for many people to accept this type of work because it cannot be seen.  Radio waves cannot be seen yet we are aware that they exist.  The electrical impulses which course through our body and allow for an EKG, EEG, and lie detector test to track this energy can also not be seen, yet they are real.  And so universal/planetary electromagnetic fields with their various vibrational frequencies also exist yet cannot be seen.

One of the most well known energy type works offered for decades is Reiki, originating from Japan.  Reconnective Healing is a recently discovered frequency (approximately 12 years ago) which seems to be working at a much higher frequency.  It can be accessed and directed to a person’s electromagnetic field to affect change at a molecular level.

Myths About Good Health Habits – Soy Consumption

EdamameA client recently asked me what I thought about soy milk and other soy products.  The answer actually requires a lengthy explanation.  The bottom line is that we here in America eat soy products in a way in which soy was not intended to be consumed.  Historically Asians have utilized soy for crop rotation.  Apparently the soy plant was initially used as a method of fixing high nitrogen levels in the soil.  The soybean did not serve as a food until the discovery of fermentation techniques, some time during the Chou Dynasty (1134-246 BC). The first soy foods were fermented products like tempeh, natto, miso, tamari and soy sauce. Soy had never been eaten unfermented in the history of humanity, until recently. Fermentation is essential to neutralize toxins in the soy bean.

In my personal experience, when I tested clients who had switched to drinking soy milk, not one client’s body accepted the soy milk. If they had switched to soy milk because of lactose intolerance I checked their levels of potassium and vitamin D. One or both of these nutrients was usually deficient. The body requires these nutrients to break down dairy. If they still wanted to stay off dairy I suggested almond milk or rice milk.

RISK OF NUTRIENT DEFICIENCIES

The Chinese did not eat unfermented soybeans as they did other legumes such as lentils because the soybean contains large quantities of natural toxins or “antinutrients”. First among them are potent enzyme inhibitors that block the action of trypsin and other enzymes needed for protein digestion…Soy also contains goitrogen – substances that depress thyroid function.” – Sally Fallon PhD
