 Message from Bernadette Wulf
Happy holidays!
Seasons Greetings!
Here we are wrapping up another year on planet Earth. It has been an amazing year in so many ways, sometimes challenging, but also wonderful. Wild weather, personal challenges, and political unrest have been common themes, yet there is an underlying perfection to it all. More and more people seem to be reaching out to help each other, and working together to achieve their goals.

There have been quite a few predictions focused on this month and the end of this 26,000 year cycle. They range from the ridiculous to the sublime. Regardless of what you believe about predictions, it seems that something unusual is in the works. Exactly what that is remains to be seen. We have been bombarded with speculation ranging from a doomsday film titled 2012 to claims that ETs are going to "rescue" everyone on the planet and move us all underground. My personal favorite is the scenario where humanity rapidly awakes to the realization that everything and everyone is interconnected and we enter a golden age of peace, love, and abundance.

What most of us can agree on is that this is a perfect time for practicing forgiveness, sharing love, letting go of struggles, connecting deeply with nature, and respecting all life on our planet. This is a time to be prepared for anything and everything. We may see more natural disasters, bigger financial collapses, increasing personal challenges, but at the same time (if we look beneath the surface) we will see that all is well.

May the peace and love we create in our own hearts be reflected in the world around us. That has long been the message of this holiday season as we welcome the return of the light in whatever tradition we follow.

This month we take a look at ways to improve digestive health, natural cures for Lyme's disease, Energy Medicine - the medicine of the future (though it goes back at least five thousand years) - some dangerous food and drug interactions, and how diet may lead to Alzeheimer's disease.

Happy Holidays to All!
To Your Health!

Healthy digestionGood Digestion
From NaturalNews.com: "Dealing with the symptoms of chronic digestive dysfunction can be discouraging for many people, especially when unknown dietary and environmental triggers constantly seem to create bloat, abdominal pain, gas, and other problems. But correcting the issue can also be as simple as eating certain foods while avoiding others, and learning to eat foods that promote healthy floral balance in the gut."

Easier said than done, you may be thinking, but take a look at the list below and think again.
1) Probiotics. 
2) Fermented foods. 
3) Aloe vera.
4) Zinc.
5) L-Glutamine.
6) Avoid GMOs.
7) Avoid wheat gluten.

It is easy to add probiotics and fermented foods to your diet, and I would recommend that you do so every day for the rest of your life, whether you have digestive problems or not. This step alone can heal some of the worst cases of indigestion or bowel irregularity. You can purchase probiotics in pill or powder form, or you can grow your own by making kefir (dairy or coconut water) and yogurt.

Fermented foods such as raw sauerkraut also provide probiotics, along with vegetable enzymes and alkalinizing minerals. You can easliy make these yourself with all sorts of vegetables. Aloe vera, zinc and L-glutamine can be tried separately, while paying attention to how you feel afterward. If they seem to help, keep taking them until your digestive problems clear up.

As for GMOs, you know how I feel about them if you have been reading this newsletter for very long. There is way too much evidence pointing to their dangers. Eating GMO foods is just asking for trouble, because sooner or later we are going to see similar effects in humans to what we have seen in
the unfortunate livestock and lab animals who were forced to live on them.

Wheat gluten has become problematic for many people recently, not because we have suddenly developed an inability to digest wheat, but because plant breeders have developed new a breed of wheat that is nothing like what our ancestors ate. If you have any sort of digestive disorder, difficulty losing weight, or any type of auto-immune disorder, try eliminating all wheat products. You may find that it was all related to wheat consumption.

lyme bullseyeCan Lyme Be Cured Naturally?

The medical establishment, when it even acknowledges Lyme, generally insists that long term use of antibiotics is the only way to effectively treat this devastating disease. Even then, the fix is often only temporary. However, there is a growing body of evidence pointing to a better solution.

Though antibiotics are widely considered the best option to treat recent cases of Lyme, they fall short when used on chronic and deep seated cases. Lyme is a complex disease that can go dormant for long periods of time during which antibiotics seem to have no effect. It can also create a multitude of different symptoms, affecting one person differently than another, which makes diagnosis challenging.

Antibiotics are notorious for destroying healthy gut flora, leading to a multitude of side effects including poor digestion, leaky gut, constipation, irritable bowel syndrome, allergies, and candida overgrowth. On the other hand, herbs (particularly Cats Claw in the concentrated form of Samento), Energy Medicine, and the Rife machine have been used to eradicate all traces of Lyme, without upsetting the delicate balance of intestinal bacteria. Cat's Claw has even been found to have a beneficial effect on intestinal health!

Here is one case history where Energy Medicine techniques (see next article)
were used to clear Lyme. From Donna Eden's innersource.net:

"Over time, a series of changes occurred:
"Continued practice of the Daily Energy Routine helped Sally begin to feel energy in her body for the first time. As a result, she began to trust the innate healing power in her body. In addition to performing the Daily [Energy] Routine (several times a day), she used many other techniques during her transition to health, including:

        - Activating Radiant Circuits.
- All methods of sedating Triple Warmer
- Strengthening Spleen throughout the day.

        - Holding Neurovascular Points to help alleviate stress.
        - Supporting her liver by tracing the meridian.
        - Keeping the gates on her hands open."

After working with Energy Medicine techniques for several months, Sally was free of symptoms and also tested negative for Lyme. That is pretty impressive, though it would probably not surprise any Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner. Terms like "meridian," "Tripple Warmer," and "Strengthening Spleen" come directly from Chinese medicine, which is thousands of years older than our Western medical model. Sally also worked with a medical doctor, but she believes her dramatic healing was the result of the Energy Medicine techniques she applied daily.

Even if you decide to take antibiotics, or other conventional medical treatments for Lyme, don't overlook the healing power of these energy modalities. They can be safely used with any other form of treatment. And, speaking from personal experience, I strongly recommend Samento. It has been shown to equal or surpass the effectiveness of antibiotic treatments for chronic Lyme. Start with just a couple of drops a day and work up to a full dropper, otherwise the die-off symptoms can be quite intense!

If you have Lyme or know someone who does, here is an excellent web page listing valuable resources for treatments, tests, and practitioners who understand the disease (the testing laboratories listed are among the few that can offer accurate test results, since Lyme is notoriously difficult to verify) -

Healing with energyMore About Energy Medicine

Donna Eden healed herself of multiple sclerosis in her early thirties using energy medicine techniques. Since then she has dedicated her life to empowering other people to tune into their own subtle, healing energies. I highly recommend her books, particularly Energy Medicine and Energy Medicine for Women. They describe in detail how to use energy techniques for your own personal healing.

Energy medicine has been available (and quite effective) for thousands of years in Asia, but it is still regarded as "alternative" in America. However, our materialistic view of the human body is rapidly being replaced by a new understanding that thoughts, intentions, and energy can often be far more powerful than drugs.

Even if you are working with a medical doctor, these energy modalities can be used along with conventional treatments to speed up progress and help to balance and strengthen your body.

Type 3 Diabetes?Is Alzheimer's Type 3 Diabetes?

According to a recent article on Mercola.com, "Now, a growing body of research suggests there may be a powerful connection between the foods you eat and your risk of Alzheimer's disease and dementia, via similar pathways that cause type 2 diabetes. Some have even re-named Alzheimer's as 'type 3 diabetes.'"

I found this fascinating! All these years we've been told that Alzeheimer's is a mysterious disease with no known cause, but everything has a cause, particularly anything that goes awry in our bodies. So it is not surprising that the causes of type 2 diabetes would also be found to contribute to Alzeheimer's. We were not designed to lose our minds as we get older! In fact, most people don't in other parts of the world.

Mercola's article goes on to say that Alzheimer's disease "is currently at epidemic proportions, with 5.4 million Americans – including one in eight people aged 65 and over – living with the disease. By 2050, this is expected to jump to 16 million, and in the next 20 years it is projected that Alzheimer's will affect one in four Americans."
Obviously, we're doing something very wrong in America!

Here's what you can do to avoid Alzeheimer's according to Dr. Mercola:
(He
goes into detail on one each of these points in his article.)

- Avoid Fructose (table sugar is half fructose)
- Improve Magnesium Levels (magnesium threonate)
- Optimize your vitamin D levels with safe sun exposure
- Keep your fasting insulin levels below 3
- Vitamin B12
- B vitamins
- Nutritious diet with lots of vegetables
- High-quality omega-3 fats
     (BTW - I read that men need more EPA and women need more DHA)
- Avoid and remove mercury from your body
- Avoid aluminum, such as antiperspirants, non-stick cookware, vaccine adjuvants
- Exercise regularly
- Avoid flu vaccinations as most contain both mercury and aluminum
- Eat plenty of blueberries
- Challenge your mind daily
- Avoid anticholinergic and statin drugs

I would add, keep: grains (especially wheat), flour products, juices, and all sugars to a minimum, and do not load up on protein, because these seem to contribute to type 2 diabetes. There is also some evidence that eating raw foods can help to reverse diabetes. The best non-diabetic grains/seeds for most people are millet, quinoa, amaranth, and buckwheat.

grapefruit drug interactionsSome Foods Cause Drug Interactions

If you have to take prescription medications of any kind, please read this article. Combining the foods below with certain prescription drugs
can cause dangerous side effects, or can render your prescription ineffective.

From Care2.com:
Grapefruit juice - can cause complications when taken with statins (Lipitor, Mevacor, Zocor), immunosuppressants, calcium-channel blockers (Plendil, Sular, Procardia), and benzodiazepines (Valium, Triazolam, Halcion). Grapefruit drinks like Squirt, Fresca, etc. can have the same effect.

Bananas - can cause heart palpitations when eaten with ACE inhibitors (Lotensin, Capoten, Zestril, etc.). Bananas also contain Tyramine, an amino acid (also found in red wine, soy and certain cheeses) that can negatively interact with MAO inhibitors (Nardil, Parnate)

Cranberry juice - may dangerously amplify the effect of Lipitor and other statin medications, according to recent research.

Spinach and other leafy greens - contain vitamin K that can
nullify the blood-thinning benefits of anti-coagulants, including warfarin (Coumadin).

High-fiber foods - Dietary fiber, as found in whole grains, vegetables, and fruits, slow the rate at which the stomach empties, and may also slow the rate at which medications are absorbed into the blood stream, resulting in lower-than-anticipated blood levels of certain prescriptions, such as antibiotics.
