My Personal StoryBack to the Land of the LivingMy Personal Story: I would prefer not to focus on my past history, for today my life and future is much more exciting. However, for those who ask, here is a brief story of my regaining health and joy. I spent a lifetime, almost 40 years with much illness and "unhealth." I am now in my 50's. I've lived with severe IBS, systemic candida, pre-cancer of the liver, chronic fatigue syndrome, chronic acne, 20 years of back pain, arthritis, allergies, bulimia, hypoglycemia, diabetes II and migraines….to name a few. It took way too long to restore my health, because I DID NOT KNOW my body had been in a toxic state for decades from the accumulation of antibiotics, sugary foods and depression. This situation created a breeding ground for toxins, which as we age multiply and bio-accumulate, weakening our immune system allowing for overgrowth of cancer cells, candida, bacteria and fungus. Eventually we end up at our physicians office with a diagnosis that frightens us. With all that I knew and tried, it never seemed enough. When I changed my diet to organic foods, adding in herbs, vitamins and homeopathic remedies, I was still always tired and ill, because with weak digestion there was very little absorption and assimilation of the foods and supplements taken. All of these steps were very good things to do, but not very effective at the time, because the state of my body health was akin to putting out a hotel fire with the garden hose. So, I nibbled on bits of chocolate throughout the day to keep myself "perky" enough so I could work, raise my children and appear successful to the rest of the world…until I was too weak and tired to get out of bed. Ten years ago, I found myself in the hands of a wise, experienced holistic medical doctor who knew how to get to the root of my health crisis (on the physical level). Using many diagnostic tools, including microscopic dry and dark blood analysis, I began an intense detoxification process to cleanse out the massive load of toxins and yeast in every organ and then the rebuilding of my body. The road to recovery took over a year and many, many, many thousands of dollars later, my energy, vitality and enthusiasm for living had returned. I also gained a wonderful education (self-taught) on how I got into such a physical mess in the first place. At this point I had the energy to work through the rest of the mental and emotional issues that had supported my body breaking down. I also realized my finances were thin, I still had the back pain, BUT I was motivated. I took a part time job at an upscale resort/spa, started yoga (which was painful at first since my body was so stiff) and continued eating high quality nourishing foods and supplements to maintain my health. I continued searching for what would eliminate the 20 years of chronic back pain.
All led to creating this website. Most of the products shared are what I used to regain my health or now contribute to maintaining a good feeling body. The chronic back pain is gone (read my note below), blood sugar stays regulated if I stay with the appropriate foods and eat frequently. I think clearly and I rarely get sick - Although I occasionally find myself out of balance when working too many hours.! However it is most beneficial to eat more higher vibrational What does this mean? Higher vibrational foods are nutrient rich and carry a higher electrical charge (fresh organic produce for example compared to a burger and fries). If I want to feel vibrant and alive - then it is important to eat foods that are Vibrant and Alive as much as possible. I eat organic for the most part and drink quality mineral rich water. I do not rely on our food supply to provide all the nourishment
my body needs to maintain optimum health, so I include specific supplements using my intuition to guide me. Once the body is used to eating nourishing foods, and health improves we generally stay attracted to these good foods and have less pull towards processed sugary items. For those who often ask, here is an idea of some of the products I supplement with. Every morning I start with my energizing green protein drink, and I make a similar one in the early afternoon -
What does this drink contain ? (The E-book I-Am Aligned with Perfect Health will be available soon with more specific details for regaining a healthy body along with what to eat) I cannot eat very many calories or I will gain unwanted weight. I few things I eat regularly are Organic: A) Raw nuts and seeds (sunflower, pumpkin, ground flax, almonds, walnuts, rarely cashews, (never peanuts - too much mold content) B) Salad greens, always avocados, sprouts, grapefruits, lots of cherry tomatoes, kiwis C) Buckwheat or amaranth cereal (sometimes oatmeal), quinoa. lentisl, mung beans, D) Organic and free range eggs, Ezekial bread, organic raw almond butter Now that my body is aligned with good health, I occasionally eat a peice of red meat (organic only) AND if I feel like some organic dark chocolate I do - prefering raw cacao as the first ingredient as in Dagoda bars. I sometimes enjoy a 1/2 cup of organic coffee - however, that does throw off my blood sugar, so is not the norm, but it sure tastes good. Every day I eat the Red Desert® Edible Clay
and and my routine usually includes Most of these producs are availalbe on our shopping cart. NOTE: If you are looking for ONLY one or two items to supplement your regime, consider starting with the Red Desert Clay, and the magnesium, Concentrace Minerals and maybe the B-tox. Add in the spirulina daily if you can. These will help you start cleansing and remineralizing the body right away.
So, I share my story. I will say my childhood was very, very bleak and abusive, which lead to the breakdown of my body. I have a brother who did not live very long from all that he endured during this abuse. I successfully survived by first restoring my physical health so I would have the strength to heal the layers of emotional and mental challenges I was holding onto. It took much focus, time and money...lots of money initally to turn my life around.... and now I am having more fun and I smile a lot. My passion is to help those that I can. Back pain which had been a chonic problem for me is now a memory. I used many alternative healing modalities available to reduce the pain including acupunture until I could find and resolve the root causes, for I knew there must be deep seated issues going on allowing the physical body to be so tight. I prayed for help and help found me. Please note: What is most important in searching for answers to life's challenges is to open our consciousness beyond the limited belief systems we were raised under. I was raised strictly Catholic. At age 18, I knew I had to find for myself what "God" is - for something inside of me knew that there was more - more than what I had been taught to believe. Much to my fathers horror I left the church and started my spiritual journey many, many years ago. You are never alone. Spirit, Source, God, Higher Power etc. - (whatever word describes who you pray to) is whispering to you all the time. Personally, I had to let go of fear and beliefs I was carrying so I could be open to my ability to hear the answers to my prayers, meaning answers and help is avialble to us but it does not always come in the package we expect. I met someone in the Spring of 2006 who came to me to purchase the Red Desert Clay, and in turn, this was the beginning of the help I was praying for. She worked with me initially to clear and remove some beliefs, programs and experiences, I had been holding onto at my soul level which was causing my physical body pain. I then worked with Robert Detzler the founder of SRT in Washington State and over the next six months more relief came to my body as layers and layers of unconscious patterns and programs, deep seated traumas and inner conflicts were identified and lifted at the deepest levels AND and my body lightened up tremendously. After numerous sessions over the phone doing this SRT clearing work - the intense pain in my back, hips, nerves and muscles began to subside significantly. Today all the chronic pain is gone. The frequent trips to the chiropractor have completely ended as my vetebrae more easily stays in alignment since my back is more relaxed. I connected to the core causes held within my conscious and subconscious, and they have been dissolved back to the nothingness from which they came. Once again, lots of time, energy and money was spent, for my intention was to manifest a perfect expression of physical health. The continued work cleared layers of anger, fear and frustration, deeply imbedded. For 25 years or so it had become a habit, a pattern to think about "how bad my body felt each day... sometimes thinking about it hour after hour during the most difficult times." This pattern was a habit - a habit only I could change. Not wanting to re-establish all the work I had cleared, I have begun to re-program my conscious thoughts. No sessions - no one could do this for me - this was the part that was MY work. I learned the SRT system which I use here and there to assist myself and others although I do not have the time to make appointments and work with others. For those who are looking for a practitioner to work with, via the phone, consider contacting Beth Richardson in Washington State. Her website is: Ascend-within.com. There are also some wonderful experienced people which might be available via the Spiritual Response Association in Washington State. Sometimes when we feel we've tried everything - and yet we know there is something more - a few sessions with this deep clearing work might be the missing link to facilitate the needed changes.
