Get Healthy-Your Health Is In Your Hands

Topsoil erosion along with failure to let the land rest periodically means lower nutrient density of our vegetables and fruits; not to mention the chemicals they include if they are not organically grown. Even eating the best raw fruits and vegetables may not be enough in today’s market to ensure optimal level of health. I understand that our bodies can heal themselves if given the proper nutrients and disease can absolutely be avoided. These are just a few reason I always recommend my clients enhance their nutritional account with a good green food supplement. Adding 100% pure organic juice concentrate in a powder or capsule is an easy step to take. My family and I use Green’s Plus; it is not an MLM and they are reasonably priced they have lots of special prices now. www.greensplus.com

A green food supplement is a great addition to a spring vegetable and fruit fast to clean out the body from the heavy foods of the cooler season. If you do a spring cleaning then the spring colds everyone else is getting can be avoided. Just a simple tip to gaining control of your well being.

What would you do?…. At a fund-raising dinner for a school that serves children with learning disabilities, the father of one of the students delivered a speech After extolling the school and its dedicated staff, he offered a question: ‘When not interfered with by outside influences, everything nature does, is done with perfection. Yet my son, Shay, cannot learn things as other children do. He cannot understand things as other children do. Where is the natural order of things in my son?’ The audience was stilled by the query. The father continued. ‘I believe that when a child like Shay, who was mentally and physically disabled comes into the world, an opportunity to realize true human nature presents itself, and it comes in the way other people treat that child.’ Then he told the following story: Shay and I had walked past a park where some boys Shay knew were playing baseball. Shay asked, ‘Do you think they’ll let me play?’ I knew that most of the boys would not want someone like Shay on their team, but as a father Ialso understood that if my son were allowed to play, it would give him a much-needed sense of belonging and some confidence to be accepted by others in spite of his handicaps. I approached one of the boys on the field and asked if Shay could play. The boy looked around for guidance and said, ‘We’re losing by six runs and the game is in the eighth inning. I guess he can be on our team and we’ll try to put him in to bat in the ninth inning.’ Shay struggled over to the team’s bench and, with a broad smile, put on a team shirt. I watched with a small tear in my eye and warmth in my heart. The boys saw my joy at my son being accepted. In the bottom of the eighth inning, Shay’s team scored a few runs but was still behind by three. In the top of the ninth inning, Shay put on a glove and played in the right field. Even though no hits came his way, he was obviously ecstatic just to be in the game and on the field, grinning from ear to ear as I waved to him from the stands.. In the bottom of the ninth inning, Shay’s team scored again. Now, with two outs and the bases loaded, the potential winning run was on base and Shay was scheduled to be next at bat. At this juncture, do they let Shay bat and give away their chance to win the game? Surprisingly, Shay was given the bat. Everyone knew that a hit was all but impossible because Shay didn’t even know how to hold the bat properly, much less connect with the ball. However, as Shay stepped up to the plate, the pitcher, recognizing that the other team was putting winning aside for this moment in Shay’s life, moved in a few steps to lob the ball in softly so Shay could at least make contact. The first pitch came and Shay swung clumsily and missed. The pitcher again took a few steps forward to toss the ball softly towards Shay. As the pitch came in, Shay swung at the ball and hit a slow ground ball right back to the pitcher. The game would now be over. The pitcher picked up the soft grounder and could have easily thrown the ball to the first baseman. Shay would have been out and that would have been the end of the game. Instead, the pitcher threw the ball right over the first baseman’s head, out of reach of all team mates. Everyone from the stands and both teams started yelling, ‘Shay, run to first! Run to first!’ Never in his life had Shay ever run that far, but he made it to first base. He scampered down the baseline, wide-eyed and startled. Everyone yelled, ‘Run to second, run to second!’ Catching his breath, Shay awkwardly ran towards second, gleaming and struggling to make it to the base. B y the time Shay rounded towards second base, the right fielder had the ball …. the smallest guy on their team who now had his first chance to be the hero for his team. He could have thrown the ball to the second-baseman for the tag, but he understood the pitcher’s intentions so he, too, intentionally threw the ball high and far over the third-baseman’s head. Shay ran toward third base deliriously as the runners ahead of him circled the bases toward home. All were screaming, ‘Shay, Shay, Shay, all the Way Shay’ Shay reached third base because the opposing shortstop ran to help him by turning him in the direction of third base, and shouted, ‘Run to third! Shay, run to third!’ As Shay rounded third, the boys from both teams, and the spectators, were on their feet screaming, ‘Shay, run home! Run home!’ Shay ran to home, stepped on the plate, and was cheered as the hero who hit the grand slam and won the game for his team ‘That day’, said the father softly with tears now rolling down his face, ‘the boys from both teams helped bring a piece of true love and humanity into this world’.. Shay didn’t make it to another summer. He died that winter, having never forgotten being the hero and making me so happy, and coming home and seeing his Mother tearfully embrace her little hero of the day!

Do you want a healthy life?

Kathy — Wed, 16 Dec 2009 14:28:36 +0000

Do you know you are personally responsible for your health. Naturopathic Doctors have said this for over 200 years (and years of experience proves this is true for anyone willing to test it); if you are plagued with disease and poor health it is usually your own doing and if we want to get back to health all we have to do is quite building disease. I want the best for your health and take this time to give you the best of researchers. Please make healthy choices.

I will start general so this may be review for some of you. One day the truth will be realized and that day is coming soon. Science and nature are coming together in quantum physics. The truth is the power to throw off disease is within the power of the body itself along with the function of the subconscious. According to the toxin philosophy every disease is a crisis of toxemia (self poisoning). This happens because toxins have accumulated in the body above the toleration point. The crisis(cold, flu, headache, cancer etc.) has occurred because of over worked channels of elimination. The body is trying to rid itself of toxins.

What is toxic about what you put into your body. Please seriously answer this question. What can you eliminate to assist the body in health? I will leave it there and let you answer those questions. Only one more question, what are you willing to do to keep your health?

Toxic Ingredients in skincare products

Kathy — Thu, 17 Sep 2009 02:21:46 +0000

Toxic ingredients and/or chemicals found in our food and skincare products. Methylparaben is from the family of chemicals called parabens, and is pretty commonly used as a preservative in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and food.

It is readily and completely absorbed directly through the skin and the gastrointestinal tract, meaning it has absolutely no problem getting into your system via any means. For this reason, among others, it is actually banned in the U.K. for use in all fragrances – but not here in the U.S..

Various studies have shown methylparabens to disrupt our endocrine system, and is considered a High Hazard ingredient by many consumer groups. According to them, methylparabens are linked to cancer, immunotoxicity, and organ system toxicity. Not very safe stuff! So what products are methylparabens found in? The list is gigantic, and some of the biggest names in the cosmetics industry are included:

Revlon
Aveda
Avon
L’Oreal
Estée Lauder
Murad
Pantene
St. Ives
Clinique
Freeze 24

Like I said, the list goes on and on, so you might be hard pressed to find products that DON’T have methylparabens in them. However, if you can do it, it is best to avoid these parabens altogether – the risk isn’t worth it to me when there are safer alternatives available. Read ingredient lists! Check out www.Frownies.com

Frownies are one company committed to no parabens in any of their products.
