Greetings!
STOP! Don't buy into the swine flu pandemic scare. I know. I know.
It's in all the papers, all over the internet, and on TV and radio
news. You can't really get away from the media coverage, but you CAN
choose how you respond to it. How about ignoring it?
The worst possible response is to go into FEAR, because fear
activates all the negative stress hormones that undermine health and
immunity. The best response is to tell yourself, "This doesn't have
anything to do with me. My body is healthy and my immune system is
strong." And then take a moment to appreciate all the signs that your
body IS strong and healthy.
Even if you are not feeling perfect, focus on the parts that DO
feel good. Can you walk? Can you talk? Can you laugh? Can you get into
a comfortable position? If not, go back to something you CAN do,
something that DOES feel good, and stay focused on that as much as
possible. You will be amazed at how your body can heal itself of
absolutely any condition or disease if you simply focus on what is
working right and what is feeling good.
As Abraham says, "Don't seek healing, just seek relief."
The whole reason I put out this newsletter every month is to remind
you that you have power over your own health. You are the one with that
power, not doctors or government agencies. And, even though most of the
articles are about food and nutrition, it isn't really about nutrition
at all. It's about you.
I want you to believe that you have the tools you need to create
and maintain ideal health no matter what your age or circumstances,
because that BELIEF is the bottom line. Even though you may not
understand how your body works, you can still guide it with your
thoughts. Scientists are now proving that our cells respond to our
thoughts and beliefs. Our DNA and genes are actually changed by
thought!
So I urge you to think about things that make you smile, things
that bring tears of joy to your eyes, things that feel empowering, and
things that feel really really good to think about. Talk about those
things, do those things, and share those things with others. You'll
find that when you do that, your life will take off in the most
inspiring and uplifting way you can imagine. You will be immune to
every disease, abundant in every way, and fulfilled as you explore the
wonders of each moment.
Wow! See how inspiring flu can be?
To Your Health!

P. S. For those of you in the Santa Rosa area, I'm holding a Money
Manifestation workshop on May 16th. You will learn how to have fun with
money to open up your flow of abundance. Check it out through the link
below. It really works!

Total
Immunity
-
What do you think? Is it possible to have total immunity to every
disease, no matter what epidemic, pandemic, or other "demic" they send
your way? And why is it that some people are totally unscathed by
plagues and epidemics, others get sick but survive, and others die?
Could it be that some people have a sort of protective bubble around
them?
I won't pretend I know the answers to all those questions, but I do
know that there is a lot we can do to strengthen the immune system and
sidestep the various bugs that sweep through our communities. I've been
in many situations where everyone around me came down with a cold or
flu while I never had any symptoms. I was breathing the same air,
eating in the same restaurants, flying in the same airplanes, but I
didn't get sick.
I have come up with some pretty good ways to stay healthy in the
midst of summer cold season, winter flu season, or whatever other
disease season the media moguls would like us to freak out about. I
feel like I have my own little immunity bubble, and I'm learning how to
improve it all the time.
The first key is to keep your system on the alkaline side by eating
lots of fresh fruits and vegetables. Viruses thrive in an acidic
environment! (See article below.)
Also important:
- Keep your body well hydrated by drinking at least half your body
weight in ounces every day. (i. e. if you weigh 120lbs. you should
drink 60 oz. water)
- Take a good food-based multi-vitamin like Vitamin Code or Chapter
One.
- Have Elderberry syrup on hand, shown to be effective flu fighter.
- Good quality echinacia is a proven immune system booster. (Don't
overload when you are not sick or you may trigger such a strong immune
reaction that you could get really sick!)
- Vitamin C (I prefer EmergenC) will help keep your immune system
working at its best
- Wash hands frequently with normal soap and avoid touching eyes,
because the mucous membranes of the eyes have been shown to absorb
bacteria and viruses.
- And of course homeopathic Oscillococcinum should be at your
fingertips so you can take it the moment you or anyone around you has
any flu-like symptoms.
By the way, homeopathy was very effective in treating flu during
the Spanish flu pandemic in 1918. Those treated by homeopathic
physicians had mortality rate of only 1.05 percent, but 30 percent of
people treated with traditional medicine and drugs died! 100 percent of
people treated in homeopathic hospitals survived.
The homeopathic remedies most used to successfully treat the
Spanish flu were Gelsemium and Bryonia. So you might want to keep them
on hand. There is no specific homeopathic remedy for flu. The remedy is
selected according to the symptoms.
According to flu expert, Dr. J. E. Williams, the best preventative
supplements are:
- Beta Glucans - immune system stimulant
- Zinc - 15-30 mg. per day when well - 45-100 mg. per day if sick.
- Vitamin C - 1000 mg. - 3X per day. More if sick.
- Vitamin A - aqueous formula.
- Quercetin is very important to relieve inflamation, particularly
for healthy young people with strong immune systems. Dr. Williams says
that death from flu is not caused by the virus, but by the strong
response of the immune system causing life-threatening inflamation.
- In dry climates a humidifier will also help to protect the mucus
membranes from damage.
Here are some more tips from Dr. Michael Carlston, our local holistic
M.D.:
"- Vitamin D3 – keep your blood levels over 50, or simply
take
3-5,000 iu/day for the next month (this is not a quick fix, but should
be part of your regular maintenance program)
- Vitamin C - take 2-3,000 mg per day
- Mixed natural carotenoids (50,000 iu/day)
Herbs -Andrographis, Echinacea (purpurea and angustifolia –
remember that if echinacea does not make your tongue tingle when you
bite it, it is not of good quality), Shitake mushroom"
Be prepared, as the boy scouts say. Then relax and enjoy your good
health.
If you want to create an immunity bubble for yourself, I'll be
happy to coach you through the process. You can even choose your own
payment level. Visit my health coaching page for more information. Best

weird things to my web pages.)

Cherry
Cure for Arthritis and Gout
-
You can throw away your arthritis medicine once you learn that life
really is a bowl of cherries. It only takes a handful a day to keep the
arthritis doctor away. A daily dose of six to eight cherries has proved
to eliminate the pain and swelling of arthritis and gout! Doesn't that
sound a lot better than a handful of PILLS? And they don't even have to
be fresh. You can eat them out of a can, or take a tablespoon of cherry
concentrate to get the same results.
Personally, I would avoid the canned variety because of the heavy
metals used in the cans. The article doesn't mention frozen cherries,
but I bet they would work just as well. You could also try bottled
cherry juice, or how about cherry pie?
From Natural News - "As you'll see in the collection of quotes
about cherries, gout and arthritis (click link below), cherries are
extremely safe, effective and fast-acting for eliminating swelling and
pain. Eating just a few cherries a day keeps uric acid levels in check,
preventing any recurrence of gout.

Spirulina
- Great Source of Vitamins & Minerals
-
(NaturalNews) "Spirulina is considered one of nature's most perfect
foods because it performs such a broad spectrum of activities in the
body. Its nutritional profile shows it can replace many more expensive
supplements, and its research profile reveals its dedication to
promoting good health."
While I would have to question the idea that Spirulina is
"dedicated" to promoting health, it has certainly been used for that
purpose for centuries, all the way back to the ancient Aztecs, in fact.
Spirulina has been shown to improve symptoms of Chronic Fatigue
Syndrome, high blood pressure and LDL cholesterol, digestion, cancer,
inflammation, and auto-immune diseases. It is also an immune system
booster.
The Natural News article goes on to say, "Spirulina is sustainable
food, offering more nutrition per acre than any other food. It is able
to provide 20 times more complete protein per acre than soybeans, and
200 times more per acre than beef. It contains the eight essential
amino acids as well as ten non-essential amino acids, making it an
excellent choice for anyone not consuming animal protein. It is rich in
enzymes, chlorophyll, magnesium, potassium, calcium, and phosphorous.
It is rich in B complex vitamins including B6, biotin, B12, pantothenic
acid, folic acid, inositol, niacin, riboflavin and thiamine. It is a
good source of essential fatty acids, including linoleic, and
arachidonic acid. Spirulina contains 4,000 mg/kg of carotenoids..."
In short, it packs a big nutritional wallop! Word of warning, it
can be constipating in high doses, so make sure to drink lots of water
and eat plenty of fiber when including spirulina in your diet. Also,
even though the article says sprulina supplies B12, tests have shown
that it does not supply the minimum requirement.
Spirulina can be added to soups, smoothies, salad dressings, or any
other dish. It has a mild seaweed-like flavor and a bright green color
that will dominate any dish to which it is added. It will also act as a
thickener. Think of it as a very concentrated food and don't overdo it.
Also available in tablets and capsules.

Alkalizing
Your Blood?
-
The good news is that your blood is going to stay alkaline no
matter what - or you would die. The other news is that the rest of your
body needs lots of fresh fruits and vegetables to maintain a slightly
alkaline balance. Otherwise, the blood will take the alkaline minerals
out of bones and tissues to maintain its own balance (i. e. calcium,
magnesium). So your job is to make sure there are plenty of alkaline
minerals to go around.
Natural News - "Generally speaking, most vegetables and fruits have an
alkaline-forming effect on your body fluids.
"Most grains, animal foods, and highly processed foods have an
acid-forming effect on your body fluids.
"Your health is best served by a good mix of nutrient-dense,
alkaline and acid-forming foods; ideally, you want to eat more
alkaline-forming foods than acid-forming foods to have the net acid and
alkaline-forming effects of your diet match the slightly alkaline pH of
your blood."
Because the average American has already been eating a highly
acid-forming diet for many years, most of us need to eat even more
fruits and vegetables, especially leafy greens, to resupply the
alkaline minerals we were born with. However becoming overly alkaline
is also very detrimental to your health, so don't go on a radical
alkaline diet in an attempt to compensate.
Trust your body. Listen to your food cravings. Make sure the
cravings are not coming from emotional discomfort by getting into a
relaxed, happy state of mind. Then let your appetite tell you what your
body needs. Any fresh whole foods are fair game.
You will find a list of alkaline and acid foods when you read the rest
of the article.
