2014 The Year of Renewal!

 Message
from Bernadette Wulf
Happy New Year!
Do
you feel the buzz in the air? Something big is in the works for 2014. I
mean something REALLY big, and I am sensing that it is something
wonderful. There may also be some really big bumps along the way, so be
prepared for anything. In fact, according to many astrologers, 2014
will be a real humdinger, at least up until summer comes along. That is
also my sense of things right now. What
do you think?
In the realm of health, even though we are seeing some amazing
breakthroughs, the predominant news media coverage continues to bombard us with frightening
statistics about climate change, radiation leakage, childhood obesity,
food contamination, and medical fraud. Social and financial news
follows a similar thread. It is hard to avoid feeling overwhelmed by
negative news stories seemingly designed to undermine our trust in our
natural state of well-being. However, this natural state of well-being
is our birthright and we can claim it whenever we choose.
For every problem, there is a solution waiting to be discovered. Our
task is to find those solutions and make them our focus, rather than
giving attention to the problems. For example, many of us have been
watching online images of radiation streaming across the Pacific Ocean
from the Fukashima meltdown. This can bring up a lot of fear,
frustration, anger, helplessness, or even hopelessness. What if we
stopped focusing on those reports of spreading radiation and focused
instead on things like the article below that outlines a way we could
use mushrooms to clean up the radiation? Wouldn't that feel a lot
better?
You may say, "So what? Just because I feel better it is not going to change the outcome of what happens with the spread of radiation." But what if it could? What if your feeling of hope and  well-being
could make your immune system stronger? What if it could even change
your DNA to make your cells more resistant to radiation? And what if
your thoughts and feelings could affect the people around you and help
them to feel more positive and hopeful, thereby strengthening their
immune systems?
I'm sure you have walked into a room and felt a positive or negative
emotion coming from others present there. We are all picking up
feelings from others wherever we go. So we know that we can affect each
other. Of course, nobody is feeling positive all the time, and that is
fine, but we can look for and focus on things that feel more positive
in the news and in our conversations. With practice, our predominant
thoughts and feelings will become more and more peaceful and joyful.
If you understand how Law of Attraction works, you will realize that
thoughts and feelings of peace, hope, and joy attract peaceful and
joyful experiences into our lives, because, believe it or not, life
delivers more of whatever we focus on most. I'm not saying that the
radiation will simply vanish if enough people focus on clean air and
water (though I believe it is possible), but that practical solutions
like the mushrooms will present themselves to us and we will be open to
recognize them.
We also have an article on healthy alternatives to wheat flour for those
who are sensitive to, or intolerant of, gluten or wheat. Be sure to
follow recipes using these ingredients, because you could end up with
a mess if you just try substituting one flour for another. In general, I
don't recommend eating flour products of any kind, but for a special
treat now and then it is always nice to have a healthier alternative to
the usual white or whole wheat flour.
Since
it is the holiday season, I've also included an article about how
to make delicious whipped cream from coconut milk. I served it with
pumpkin pie on Christmas eve and it was a big hit, even with dairy
eaters. I don't think I've ever seen my toddler grandson eat anything
with such gusto! Next is a simple way to heal cold sores in half the
time with apple cider vinegar and honey, and an article on the best
sleep positions to relieve various aches and pains.
Here's to another year! A year when our concept of time may be
radically altered and our social systems will most certainly be challenged to create
more harmony and abundance for all, but why wait? We can start sharing
our harmony and abundance right now.
To
Your
Health!

Healthy Gluten Free Flour Alternatives
 What
do coconut, buckwheat, and mesquite have in common? They are all
sources of healthy alternatives to baking with wheat flour, including
the ubiquitous white flour found in bakery goods. As I mentioned in
last month's newsletter, most of the commercial gluten free products on
the market are not organic and may therefore be contaminated with GMO
ingredients, so why not buy your own healthy ingredients and do your
own baking? You can even grind your own flour from dried coconut and
buckwheat. Mesquite pods may not be as easily available unless you live
in the Southwest USA and can harvest your own.
Though organic is always best, these three foods have not yet been
tampered with by the biotechnology industry, so we can safely assume that
they are GMO free as well as gluten free, even if they are not
organically grown.
From NaturalNews.com: "Fortunately, we don't have to give up baked
foods to remain healthy. A growing number of nutritious and gluten-free
alternatives to white flour are available to purchase online or in
health food stores, and several of them maintain (or improve upon) its
taste and texture. The best of them are listed below."
The article goes on to describe the advantages of each of these
ingredients and includes links to some great recipes to get you
started, especially for the coconut flour which is much denser than wheat flour.

 Mushrooms to the Rescue!
Mushrooms are amazing organisms that can heal our bodies and clear many kinds of pollution.
Some are edible, even delicious, and others are deadly, but all of them
do the work of consuming pollution and debris wherever they grow. They are the clean-up crews of planet Earth, connected to each other by an underground network that can extend for many miles.
You may have heard that Reishi and Shitaki are used to heal cancer in
the body, but did you know that Gomphidius glutinosus, Craterellus
tubaeformis, and Laccaria amethystina mushrooms can clean up radiation?
Paul Stamets, author of the fascinating book Mycellium Running offers a whole protocol for clearing the Fukushima disaster, not to mention many other areas of pollution.
From earth-heal.com: "Paul Stamets, the master of mycorrhiza, describes
how to isolate the radioactive material at Fukushima, specifically
Cesium 137, and reduce its impact on the surrounding land and its
wildlife and people. First published at Permaculture in April 2011, a
few weeks after the Fukushima disaster, the info is as relevant now as
it was then."
The information is out there, but how do we get governments to
implement these far-reaching protocols? It will take continued
education and public demand, so spread the word. It is time to put
nature and health before business.

 Yummy Coconut Whipped Cream
Since
I try to stay away from dairy products, both because they give me a
stuffy nose and because I don't like the way most dairies treat their
cows, I am always on the lookout for ways to recapture my favorite
creamy, cheesy, milky memories from childhood. So far, I have not found
a cheese alternative that is anything close to the real thing, which is
very sad, but I'm quite happy with hemp milk in my morning latte, or
coconut bliss ice cream. In fact I prefer them to the dairy versions.
Until recently I had not found a good alternative for whipped cream, but
wonder of wonders, here it is. Just make sure you turn the cans of
chilled coconut milk upside down before opening them so the watery stuff is on
top. Otherwise it will be hard to pour it off, as I found out upon
opening my first can.
Here's what the author of this recipe has to say about coconut whipped
cream - from http://potluck.ohmyveggies.com: "Have you heard of whipped
coconut cream? Oh man, it’s the stuff that dreams are made of. Rich,
creamy coconut milk whipped cream is quite possibly the easiest thing
you will ever make. I’m serious! When we had a party at our house a few
months back we served gluten-free coconut pound cake with berries and
whipped cream as dessert for our guests. Since I knew that not all of
our guests were on a dairy-free diet I made 2 versions of whipped cream
for them to choose from; regular whipped cream with heavy cream and
vegan coconut milk whipped cream. As the guests made their way down the
dessert assembly line I noticed that the regular whipped cream was
getting passed over time and time again for my coconut milk whipped
cream. All of our guests raved about how good it was and I even had a
few of them ask for my recipe."
I'll bet you can't wait to try it. Warning: This stuff is seriously yummy - unless you don't like a subtle coconut flavor.

 Heal Cold Sores in Half the Time!
If
you are plagued by cold sores, help is on the way. You won't feel like
hiding your face for long once you learn about this simple way to heal
cold sores in half the time. My Dad would have loved this article. He
was a big fan of apple cider vinegar and honey. It is an old folk
remedy that can help to heal many ills. Though, if you take it
internally, be sure and rinse your teeth well after consuming. It can
be hard on tooth enamel.
For cold sores, you won't be drinking vinegar and honey. You will be
applying it externally. It is totally safe and natural, so why not give
it a try?
From householdmagicdailytips.com": "Here’s an easy home remedy to speed
up the healing process... Combine one teaspoon of apple cider vinegar
with one tablespoon of honey (preferably raw honey), and dab the cold
sore with a cotton swab dipped in this mixture. Do this three times a
day (once in the morning, afternoon and evening). The sore should be
gone in less than a week."

 Best Sleep Positions for Pain Relief
Do
you remember how you used to sleep as a child? You closed your eyes and
went off to dreamland, waking up in the morning with bright eyes and
lots of energy. As we get older, sleep often becomes a bit more
challenging. We may have random aches and pains, injuries that never
fully healed, or difficulty finding a comfortable position. Sleeping in
the wrong position can even cause more aches and pains, so it is a good
idea to train our bodies to sleep with proper support, particularly if
we have ongoing pain in any particular area.
For me, because of a childhood injury, it is important to support my
neck in the right way or I wake up with a headache and stiff neck. What
about you? This article may offer the sleep solution you have been
looking for.
From bottomlinepublications.com: "When you slip into bed at night, you
probably go straight to your favorite sleep position—perhaps on your
side or on your back. But sleep positions can sometimes be tricky.
Certain positions can help—or worsen—common health problems."
You will find some great tips on healing:
SHOULDER PAIN
KNEE PAIN
BACK PAIN
NECK PAIN
FOOT PAIN
SNORING AND SLEEP APNEA
ACID REFLUX
Here's wishing you a good night's sleep and a very happy new year!
