The Magnificent Beauty of Nature’s Pharmacy

  /   Uncategorized

I’d like to make something perfectly clear…there are herbs for the immune system, the respiratory system, the endocrine system, the urinary system, the brain, the stomach, the bowels, the eyes, the throat, the sinuses, the skin, the hair, the blood, the liver, the adrenals, the thyroid, the gall bladder, the pancreas, the kidneys, the joints, the lungs, the bones, the female organs, the male organs, the hormones, for energy, for calming, for inflammation, for bacteria, for viruses, for parasites, for fungus…and just about anything else you can think of if it that has to do with the human body and the whole health of it.

The beautiful thing is they don’t have to be created in some laboratory through experimentation and with God-only-knows-what’s-in-them substances because they’ve existed for thousands of years in whole and complex form, waiting to assist us if we’re willing to learn about them and embrace their balancing properties. Truth is, if herbal companies had spent billions of dollars over decades of time promoting their products, the conversation in this country would be a totally different one. But they weren’t aggressively driven and certainly not for profit only…they simply wanted to help others reclaim their good health safely and fully. Nature’s pharmacy has always been and always will be a great gift to all of us and I for one am very grateful for it’s magnificence. Peace.

A Balanced Gut Can Have A Positive Impact On Your Overall Health!

I’m a fan of eating according to ones blood type because after actively guiding our customers to the protocol for about twenty years now, it may not be perfect but it’s pretty darn close. What I’ve witnessed is that if an individual follows it properly, it helps balance their gut which means improvement to their overall health…pretty darn well.
O blood type is the original blood type of the hunter/gatherer and O’s generally feel better when meat is a part of their diet; clean meat of course. A’s however are considered the natural vegetarian and tend to do well without meat and especially without red meat. But O’s most often feel their best when eating meat and when they don’t, it seems to take about two years before it really begins to take its toll and when it does, the results can be very compromising. In fact in the last several months and too my surprise, four longtime vegans told me they put meat back into their diet and feeling much better again. I honor them for listening to their body instead of to others claiming plant based is best for everyone, which simply is not true.
I respect the intention of those proposing no one should eat meat because it’s true to say the confined animal farms are disgusting and a serious problem…for the animals, the environment and the people eating the toxic meat coming from them, but to say that no one is meant to eat meat simply is not true. When meat eaters choose to support local family farms raising meat ethically and with care, it can make all the difference for a persons health and for the family farms raising it.
When it comes to human health, one size fits all doesn’t work; we are all biochemically unique and that’s a beautiful thing to honor. Embrace your health and know that no one knows what best for you better than yourself. Peace.

Your Home Is A Powerful Place To Make Positive Changes!

Lately we’ve had an increase of people coming in with headaches and some with burning nostrils.
Given the challenges we’ve faced over the last year it seems more people are burning candles in their home because of the ambiance and emotional comfort they create but unbeknownst to most, paraffin and synthetic fragrances are derived from petroleum and the off-gassing is very compromising to human health and animals as well. Anymore, when customers express these symptoms, my first question is to ask if they are burning candles in their home and more often than not the answer has been yes.
There are over 80,000 chemicals, solvents and every day products produced from petroleum and for the last thirty years, educating others on these toxins has been important to me because of the devastating impact they have on human health. The truth is that these toxins are everywhere and even though we can’t avoid them in the outside world, we can make simple choices within our own home to greatly reduce our exposure and that’s where our greatest power lies.
Simply put (because this is a two hour class I give)…petro-derivatives produce estrogen-mimicking molecules and our body uptakes them readily so everyone is being exposed to, too much estrogen leading to total havoc to our endocrine system, the system that produces hormones meant to regulate our body. When the endocrine system is imbalanced, biochemical chaos unfolds and the end result is much of what we’re witnessing these days…high estrogenic cancer rates including men developing breast cancer, headaches, mood swings, depression, anxiety, infertility, sterility, abnormal cycles, young boys developing breasts, young girls developing too soon, weakened bones and a host of other imbalances as well…the list is long.
Making baby steps in your home is a powerful place to begin and getting rid of paraffin based candles and all products with synthetic fragrances (perfume, cologne, dryer sheets, plug-ins, air fresheners) is a simple place to start.
Disease doesn’t just happen…it’s being fed and when open our heart to learn then take action to make positive change, good health will follow. Peace.
