			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is a good, basic daily meditation /prayer for surrender (a particular &#8220;often needs work&#8221; point for me). I believe my day always goes better if I will pray and give thanks in the morning, before I even get out of bed.</p>
<p>Conversely, I also rest better and more deeply, and feel better next morning, if I pray and give thanks before falling asleep at night.</p>
<p>Try reading this meditation to yourself morning and evening for a week, and see if you notice any difference in the way you feel and react to your day.</p>
<p>Try also reading it aloud, to yourself or to someone else, and notice how you feel.</p>
<p>This can be an especially good affirmation if you record it in your own voice. Leave the tape player on the nightstand, so can can just push &#8220;play&#8221; without having to totally wake up&#8211; while you&#8217;re still in that in-between-wakefulness-and-sleep mode.</p>

<p><em>Thank God, I AM here.</em></p></blockquote>
<p>If you feel like you need help or instruction to meditate, you can usually find meditation teachers local to your area. Ask around for a good referral, or search online.</p>
<p>Also, check for local yoga classes. Many times, a short meditation is used as part of a &#8220;cool-down&#8221; at the end of class.</p>

Cystitis, depression, eating disorders, numbness and tingling, white coating on the tongue, increased body hair, easily bruised, memory loss, frequent headaches, PMS, hives, jock itch, rectal itch, athlete’s foot, impotence, fungus growths on the cuticles, finger- and toenails,  sensitivity to molds, perfumes and cigarette smoke, and blurred vision.</p>

<p>Candida albicans is a bacteria/fungus that occurs naturally in the human body; the problem comes when the Candida gets out of control.</p>
<p>Normally, the “good” bacteria in the gut- what we call probiotics &#8211; like acidophilus, keeps fungus, such as Candida, and “bad” bacteria (<em>e Coli</em>), at a static level. </p>
<p>When our “good” bacteria is destroyed through use of antibiotics &#8211; including the antibiotics used in livestock, dairy, and egg production of the foods we eat &#8211; high sugar intake, excessive alcohol or drug use (especially marijuana, for some reason), the bad guys are allowed to proliferate, and wreak havoc on our system.</p>
<p>The Candida fungus begins to dominate, actually enlarging the microscopic openings in the small intestine that we use to absorb nutrients into the bloodstream.</p>
<p>Because these openings have become larger than designed, food particles that are not yet fully digested are allowed through.</p>
<p>Then, the immune system, not “recognizing” the large particles, create antibodies to these food particles, initiating a cascading and increasingly worsening cycle of food allergies, developing into other allergies: hay fever, dust, dander, etc.</p>
<p>Candida now moves from its natural habitat in the gut to the bloodstream, where it can turn into a <a target="new" href="http://www.personal-wellness-consultant.com/natural-candida-cure">systemic infection</a>. Candida symptoms of infection in the skin, nails, and vaginal and rectal areas are very annoying <em>to say the least!</em></p>
<p>But even worse, the wastes from this fungus are toxic to your body, and will affect practically every system, directly or indirectly. They can, after years of uncontrolled systemic overgrowth, even cause mental illness (insanity).</p>
<p>Most fungal-based cancers are associated with Candida symptoms. This DOES NOT mean you WILL develop cancer from a Candida infection, only that it’s important to keep it under control. And, if you HAVE a fungal-based cancer, it will be necessary to take care of the Candida symptoms in the course of cancer treatment.</p>
<p>You may have Candida symptoms, and not have a Candida infection. You can get a simple test at your <a href="http://www.personal-wellness-consultant.com/find-affordable-healthcare">doctor&#8217;s office</a>, or have a <a href="http://www.personal-wellness-consultant.com/wellness-plan"> personalized wellness plan</a> worked up for you.</p>
<p>Or if you&#8217;re more of a do-it-yourselfer, <em>you need to get this book</em> &#8211; <a onmouseover="window.status='Get relief now'; return true" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true" href="http://www.personal-wellness-consultant.com/yeastnomore" target="_new">Yeast Infections No More</a>. If you are suffering the intense itching, burning, pain and discomfort of Candida symptoms, you <em>can</em> cure yeast infection naturally&#8230;<em><strong>or your money back!</strong></em><strong> </strong></p>
<p>This eBook gives detailed descriptions and explanations of candida symptoms, natural home remedies for yeast infection, and side effects of anti-fungal medications. I can attest that these natural methods work, and usually very quickly.</p>
<p>Because dead Candida is not a whole lot more fun than <em>live</em> Candida, I highly recommend also doing a <a href="http://www.personal-wellness-consultant.com/2a-cleanse" target="new">colon cleanse</a> at the same time you&#8217;re killing off fungus. The idea is to get it out of your body as soon as possible; it makes life much more pleasant. <img src='http://www.personal-wellness-consultant.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<p>This remedy is very familiar to me: As a &#8220;Southern Woman&#8221; I was always taught to &#8220;Smile; don&#8217;t let anyone know there&#8217;s something wrong,&#8221; no matter what might be going on. It actually took me a couple of years of studying the Bach Remedies before I realized how badly I needed this one.</p>
<p>I had become so good at the deception, I was even fooling myself.</p>
<p>A person in a negative Agrimony state doesn&#8217;t generally like confrontation: they will do much to keep the situation peaceful, even to the point of self-sacrifice. They downplay their own hardships, not wanting to create distress for others. The hospital patient who entertains the medical staff is probably a negative Agrimony personality!</p>
<p>This trait usually develops in childhood. A sensitive child wanting to please well-meaning adults will learn to push down her own feelings and give the &#8220;correct&#8221; response. Continuous repression will lead to an inner restlessness, because this truly is a lapse of integrity in a person who despises incongruencies.</p>
<p>Internal restlessness may express itself in self-destructive habits like nail-biting or hair-pulling, or even very serious (health threatening) behaviors of &#8220;cutting&#8221; and eating disorders (anorexia, bulemia).</p>
<p>Some of the positive potentials in releasing this negative  state:</p>
<li>ability to deal with confrontation</li>
<li>authentic inner joy</li>
<li>true optimism</li>
<li>skillful diplomat and peacemaker</li>
<p>Agrimony helps you to stand in Your Power and acknowledge what is True.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Blood flukes are teensy flat worms that sap the vitality of your blood cells, and your venous system in general. They can be at the root of the problem if you feel tired most of the time, even without strenuous activity.</p>
<blockquote><p><em>If your white blood cell count is low, you may want to be tested for Leukemia. If your white count is low, and your red blood cell count is also low, suspect blood flukes.</em></p></blockquote>
<p>The metabolic wastes that blood flukes leave (for YOU to clean up) cause your blood corpuscles to &#8220;stick&#8221; together. Enough of these occurrences, and you&#8217;ve got a blood clot to deal with. Blood clots come with their own host of problems, including stroke and heart attack.</p>

<p>Blood flukes can be associated with weak veins, especially spider veins and varicose veins in the legs; also with high blood pressure or stroke, because of the <a onmouseover="window.status='Physical congestion as a cause of disease'; return true" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true" href="http://www.personal-wellness-consultant.com/causes-of-illness/congestion-physical">blood congestion</a> they can cause.</p>
<p>These blood parasites can also &#8220;flip&#8221; your sleep cycles, making you wake up several times in the night, so you feel sleepy during the day.</p>
<p>If you have an infection of this sort for long enough, your bone marrow can eventually be affected.</p>
<p>Blood flukes also rob amino acids, especially arginine &#8211; one of the essential aminos we can&#8217;t manufacture ourselves &#8211; causing a protein imbalance.</p>
<h2>Home Remedy for Blood Flukes</h2>
<p>With any blood parasite, including blood flukes, mix equal parts:</p>
<li>Oil of Sassafras</li>
<li>Oil of Wintergreen</li>
<li>Oil of Spruce</li>
<p>Apply several drops of this concoction to the soles of your feet 3 times daily.</p>
<p><strong>DO NOT TAKE THIS MIXTURE INTERNALLY.</strong></p>

Humans usually become infected with flukes from eating raw or undercooked seafood, infected vegetation), or drinking or wading in infested water.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Just imagine with me these effects of smoking:</strong></p>
<p>When a smoker inhales a puff of cigarette smoke, the large surface area of the lungs allows nicotine to pass into the blood stream almost immediately.</p>
<p>It is this nicotine &#8220;hit&#8221; that smokers crave, but there is a lot more to smoke than just nicotine.  In fact, there are more than 4000 chemical substances that make up cigarette smoke and many of them are toxic.</p>
<p>As these toxins make their way through your body via the bloodstream, they deposit little &#8220;souvenirs&#8221; here and there. Much of the poison stays in the lungs &#8211; its point of entry &#8211; but that old blood highway is very effective transport.</p>
<p>Because nicotine is a &#8220;close cousin&#8221; to <a onmouseover="window.status='Vitamin B3 - Niacin'; return true" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true" href="http://www.personal-wellness-consultant.com/niacin.html">niacin</a> (a necessary nutrient), it is able to take up the niacin receptors on the cell walls. And because it is poisonous, it can start a cascade of symptoms.</p>
<p>[<em>Tobacco tea was once listed as a very effective organic pesticide, but it proved so dangerous to farm workers that its use was outlawed</em>]</p>
<p><img src="http://www.personal-wellness-consultant.com/images/effects-of-smoking.jpg" border="0" alt="The effects of smoking is bad news for your health" width="197" height="229" align="Right" /></p>
<p>Cigarette smoke is composed of 43 known carcinogenic substances (including nicotine), and more than 400 other toxins that can also be found in wood varnish, nail polish remover, and rat poison.</p>
<p>All of these substances accumulate in the body and can cause serious problems to the heart and lungs.</p>
<p>There are many ways to take tobacco.  You can chew it, inhale it through the nose, and smoke it in the form of cigars, cigarettes, or a pipe. It&#8217;s dangerous no matter how it&#8217;s taken, but because smoking is the most popular way to consume tobacco, it has also received the greatest attention from the medical field and the media.</p>
<p><strong>Cancer is the most common disease associated with effects of smoking.</strong> Smoking is the cause of 90% of lung cancer cases and is related to 30% of all cancer fatalities.  Other smoking-related cancers include cancers of the mouth, pancreas, urinary bladder, kidney, prostate, stomach, esophagus, and larynx.</p>
<p>Besides cancer, effects of smoking also encompasses several other diseases of the lungs.  Emphysema and bronchitis can be fatal and 75% of all deaths from these diseases are linked to smoking.</p>
<p>Smokers have shorter lives than non-smokers.  On average, the effects of smoking take 15 years off your life span, due to the high rate of exposure to toxic substances which are found in cigarette smoke.</p>
<p>The effects of smoking lowers <a onmouseover="window.status='Ascorbic acid (Vitamin C)'; return true" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true" href="http://www.personal-wellness-consultant.com/vitamin-c-ascorbic-acid.html">Ascorbic acid (Vitamin C)</a> levels in your blood, and artery wall integrity is degraded. So, smoking can be an indirect cause of cholesterol build-up in the cardiovascular system.</p>
<p>Smokers also put others at risk: the <a target="_blank" onclick="window.open('http://www.personal-wellness-consultant.com/cgi-bin/counter.pl?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cdc.gov%2FTOBACCO%2Fresearch_data%2Fyouth%2Fstspta5.htm&amp;referrer=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.personal-wellness-consultant.com%2Feffects-of-smoking.html'); return false;" onmouseover="window.status='Center for Disease Control - Effects of Smoking'; return true" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true" href="http://www.cdc.gov/TOBACCO/research_data/youth/stspta5.htm" target="_new">effects of smoking</a> &#8211; even second hand &#8211;  are well known.  Smokers harm their loved ones by exposing them to the smoke they exhale.  All sorts of health problems are related to breathing in second-hand smoke.</p>
<p>Children are especially susceptible to the dangers of second-hand smoke because their internal organs are still developing.  Children exposed to second-hand smoke are more likely to experience asthma, sudden infant death syndrome, bronchitis, pneumonia, and ear infections.</p>
<p>Effects of smoking also endanger unborn children.  Mothers who smoke are more likely to suffer from miscarriages, bleeding and nausea, and babies of smoking mothers have reduced birth weights or may be premature.  These babies are more susceptible to sudden infant death syndrome and may also have lifelong health complications due to chest infections and asthma.</p>
<p>Almost everybody knows that smoking is bad for your health.  Images of blackened lungs line school hallways and hospital waiting rooms, but people continue to take up smoking anyway.  Maybe it&#8217;s the pervasive romantic image of smoking,but that image has nothing to do with reality of the effects of cigarette smoking.</p>
<p>It is never too late to give up smoking; even people who have smoked for 20 years or more can realize great health benefits from giving up the habit.</p>

<p><b>For minor medical issues, first try a home remedy</b>Many of what we know as home remedies are remnants of ancient (or at least <i>old</i>) healing methods.
<p align="Left">People have been getting sick and getting well for a long time. In every ancient culture, there has been some sort of wise woman, shaman, medicine man, priest, or healer to whom the common people looked for cures (in some cultures, the village doctor was &#8220;fired&#8221; if everyone didn&#8217;t stay well). </p>
<p align="Left">And even the Bible says there is an herb for every affliction.</p>
<p align="Left">So, we had treatments &#8211; or home remedies &#8211; long before Western Medicine or hospitals existed.</p>
<p align="Left">
<p>Our advantage now is that we can access natural, home remedy type methods, AND the modern, scientific breakthrough methods as well, whichever is appropriate.</p>
<p align="Left"><a href="http://www.personal-wellness-consultant.com/wellness-articles/find-affordable-healthcare">Find affordable healthcare when you need medical attention</a>.</p>
<p align="Left">[This is assuming, of course, that our government doesn't take away the possibility of using any kind of healthcare besides doctors, pharmaceuticals, and "modern" medical procedures. When you have a couple of hours, peruse the FDA website - <a target="_blank" href="http://www.fda.gov" target="new">www.fda.gov</a> and come to your own conclusions about who is making the decisions that affect your long-term health and safety. <i>HINT: It is NOT <b>your</b> best interest the FDA is protecting.</i>]</p>
<p align="Left">When you have a minor health issue, home remedies might be a better alternative than going to a doctor&#8230; for several reasons:</p>
<p align="Left">
</p>
<blockquote><p>1) <b>It is quicker.</b> No waiting for an appointment, and no time spent in the doctor&#8217;s waiting room.
<p align="Left">2) <b>It is probably safer.</b> That waiting room is full of sick people, and your immune system is already down. You could be vulnerable to catching another illness  (most staph infections are contracted in medical facilities).</p>
<p align="Left">3) <b>It is less expensive.</b> Most likely a LOT less. Even if you spend a couple hundred dollars on a really thorough home health kit, you&#8217;d come out ahead. You can easily drop that amount in one doctor visit.</p>
<p align="Left">4) <b>You are in control.</b> A very empowering emotional experience, but it <i>does </i>involve taking some responsibility. When you are the one making the decisions, it is up to <i>you</i> to prioritize and choose. That means educating yourself.</p>
</blockquote>
<p align="Left">
<p><i><b>Is a 99° fever OK?</b></i></p>
<p align="Left">Probably, unless it lasts for more than a day or so (could be a low-grade infection. But wait &#8211; don&#8217;t reach for the antibiotics just yet).</p>
<p align="Left"><b><i>Your child has a clear nasal discharge?</i></b></p>
<p align="Left">Again, probably OK. Just put her on clear liquids, lots of vitamin C, rest, and don&#8217;t let her get chilled.</p>
<p align="Left"><i><b>Junior decided to jump out of a tree, he&#8217;s screaming in pain, and his collar bone just doesn&#8217;t look right.</b></i><b></b></p>
<p align="Left">Time to head for the emergency room. Broken bones need to be set properly, and as soon as possible, so future alignment problems can be avoided.</p>
<p align="Left">Stay tuned to this home remedies page &#8211; I&#8217;ll have a lot of suggestions for you coming up.</p>
<p align="Right">
<p><a target="_blank" href="http://affiliate.buy.com/gateway.aspx?adid=17662&amp;pid=2024833&amp;aid=10391416&amp;sURL=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Ebuy%2Ecom%2Fprod%2Fherbal%2Dhome%2Dremedy%2Dbook%2Fq%2Floc%2F106%2F30344576%2Ehtml"><img src="http://ak.buy.com/db_assets/prod_images/576/30344576.jpg" align="right" border="0" height="125" width="125"></a></p>
<p align="Left">
<p>Meanwhile, <a href="http://www.personal-wellness-consultant.com/home-remedy-book" target="new">for making home remedies, I recommend The Herbal Home Remedy Book</a> by Joyce A. Wardwell .

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Constipation and lower bowel congestion mean pretty much the same thing: Bad news&#8230;.</strong><br />
<img src="http://www.personal-wellness-consultant.com/images/GItract.jpg" border="0" alt="Lower bowel is at the end of the line" width="180" height="238" align="Left" /></p>
<p>The lower bowel (large intestine or colon) is designed to pull excess water out of the body&#8217;s wastes to conserve and recycle the moisture [Hopefully, the small intestine has already removed the needed nutrients from the digested food traveling through it].</p>
<p>When your colon becomes congested, its natural peristaltic movement slows down, and the putrefaction process begins.</p>
<p>This is kind of like composting, which is great in the garden, but not so desirable in <em>us</em>. Basically, stuff starts to rot. And like composting attracts earthworms, putrefaction attracts <a onmouseover="window.status='worms in the bowel are parasites'; return true" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true" href="http://www.personal-wellness-consultant.com/physical-causes/parasite/parasites">parasites</a>. Yes, I agree that it&#8217;s a disturbing picture, but there it is. In a compost heap, you&#8217;ll get off-gassing and run-off. With constipation, it&#8217;s the bloodstream that absorbs these toxins, then transports them throughout your body.</p>
<p><a onmouseover="window.status='More Info on Natural Moves for Natural Constipation Relief'; return true" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true" href="http://www.personal-wellness-consultant.com/natural-moves" target="_new">More Info on Natural Moves for Natural Constipation Relief</a></p>
<p>Every cell can be affected, weakening your body&#8217;s defenses, and leaving openings for many illnesses and diseases. Your lymphatic system may eventually get sluggish because of all the backlog, and have trouble carting off the excess garbage.</p>
<blockquote><p>[The lymph system deposits this garbage into the bloodstream to be filtered by the liver and kidneys, going out through the urinary tract and bowel. If the bowel is still congested, the entire process begins again and even adds to itself. I think in computer systems, this is called an "endless loop".]</p></blockquote>
<p>In cases of <a onmouseover="window.status='Lymph Congestion'; return true" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true" href="http://www.personal-wellness-consultant.com/physical-causes/physical-congestion/lymphatic-congestion">sluggish lymph</a>, mucous secretions will tend to settle in the lungs, and muscles, tendons, and joints will begin to stiffen.</p>
<h3>Causes of Constipation</h3>
<p>Possible causes of bowel congestion, include obstructions in the bowel by &#8220;worm nests&#8221; (parasites), or paralysis of the alimentary tract (the &#8220;tube&#8221; from mouth to anus) due to polio, arsenic poisoning, or <a onmouseover="window.status='Lead Poisoning Symptoms'; return true" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true" href="http://www.personal-wellness-consultant.com/physical-causes/toxins/lead-poisoning-symptoms">lead poisoning</a> (heavy metals, chemical poisons).</p>
<p>But the most common cause of constipation, chronic or otherwise, is not getting enough fiber in your diet.</p>
<p>Processed foods, fried foods and the &#8220;bad fats,&#8221; refined flours and sugars, and the lack (or low intake) of fruits and vegetables are major contributors to constipation. If you add to that the regular consumption of diuretic liquids like coffee, sodas, and alcohol&#8211; which are a net loss as far as body moisture is concerned&#8211;  it would be very surprising if you <em>weren&#8217;t</em> constipated.</p>
<h3>Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)</h3>
<p>Sometimes, bowel congestion actually causes diarrhea symptoms.</p>
<p>The gunk on the colon walls  (hardened mucus and feces, <a onmouseover="window.status='Parasites'; return true" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true" href="http://www.personal-wellness-consultant.com/physical-causes/parasite/parasites">parasites</a>, possible obstructions) blocks nutrient assimilation and efficient movement of wastes. The liver and gall bladder want to help move this stuff <em>out</em>, and so produce and release extra bile to &#8220;lube the tube&#8221; (this can create another problem if your gall bladder has been removed).</p>
<p>The end result (no pun intended, I swear) is that you get both extremes: maybe constipation one day and diarrhea the next.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.personal-wellness-consultant.com/images/enema-bag.jpg" border="0" alt="I think this enema bag must have been found by an archeologist" width="90" height="233" align="Right" /></p>
<p>At times, just taking a little psyllium husk every day will even out these highs and lows. You should always drink at least 8 ounces of water with 3 psyllium capsules.</p>
<blockquote><p><em>[NOTE on Psyllium Husk:</em> Don't take psyllium if you are already constipated <em>right now</em>.</p>
<p>This herb-- really the outer covering of the psyllium seed-- is well known for its liquid-absorbing capabilities. If the fiber takes up what's left of the moisture in an already dry colon, you will start to believe you are NEVER gonna go.</p>
<p>If you are this plugged up, a home enema or professional colonic treatment may be in order.]</p></blockquote>
<h3>Preventing Constipation</h3>
<p>To prevent lower bowel congestion, be sure to:</p>
<blockquote><p>1) Drink plenty of good water</p>
<p>2) Eat a variety of fruits and vegetables. I&#8217;d say the US government&#8217;s suggestion of &#8220;5 a Day&#8221; is a good starting point. 10 is even better.</p>
<p>3) Try to keep from sitting all day. Your body needs to <em>move</em>.</p>
<p>4) Make sure you&#8217;re getting &#8220;good fats&#8221; in your diet, like olive and flax oils, raw and sprouted nuts, grass-fed meats and wild fish.</p>

<p>Commonly found in commercial toothpaste and municipal drinking water, <a target="_blank" onmouseover="window.status='The dangers of sodium fluoride'; return true" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true" href="http://www.holisticmed.com/fluoride/" target="_new">sodium fluoride</a> is a waste product of the aluminum, nuclear, and petroleum-based fertilizer industries. It has historically been used as rat poison and takes a long time to degrade in the environment.</p>
<p>Sodium fluoride (like other metals) accumulates in the right <a onmouseover="window.status='Kidney congestion'; return true" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true" href="http://www.personal-wellness-consultant.com/physical-causes/physical-congestion/kidney-stones">kidney</a>. It inhibits function of the thyroid, parathyroid, thymus, parotids, and pituitary gland. It is a major contributor to premature aging, and greatly hampers the immune system on a physical and spiritual/emotional level.</p>
<p>The production of collagen is inhibited by an over-abundance of sodium fluoride. Collagen is the matrix upon which our bodies build cartilage, bone, arteries and blood vessels, skin, hair, and teeth. You could say that brushing your teeth (with fluoridated toothpaste) is hazardous to your appearance&#8230; and your health. It causes weak bones and arteries, and (gasp) WRINKLES!</p>
<p>This toxic substance hinders the immune system by suppressing the thymus gland. On the emotional/ spiritual level, sodium fluoride affects your will-power (the Will Center or thymus chakra is located over the thymus gland), creating a society of sheep willing to be led by whoever is in charge.</p>
<p>So many people have low-performing thyroid glands these days, that the &#8220;accepted standards&#8221; in the medical community for &#8220;normal&#8221; thyroid function was lowered a few years back. Fluoridation of municipal (city) water systems began in the 1940&#8242;s in the USA. That means second- and third-generation sodium fluoride consumers are now in their adulthood (do you find it interesting that obesity is at an all-time high?).</p>
<p>And because the thyroid houses the &#8220;Integrity&#8221; Energy Center (thyroid chakra), many people are unable or unwilling to stand in their own power, and oppose what they know to be wrong. So unjust and even unlawful (although officially-sanctioned) practices continue.</p>
<p>If you wish to remove the fluoride from your municipal drinking water, the reverse osmosis process is the only water treatment presently available. Heat distillation, besides destroying the integrity of the water, evaporates and re-condenses sodium fluoride along with the H2o.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re concerned about dental health (as we all should be) calcium fluoride is a natural, non-toxic form easily obtained by drinking green or black tea (<a target="_blank" onmouseover="window.status='green tea'; return true" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true" href="http://www.real-foods.net/chinese-herbal-tea-remedy.html" target="_new">Camelia sinensis</a>), or by taking Calc Fluor homeopathic cell salts.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t use Teflon coated cookware (or its derivatives, such as Tefal) because heat releases the toxic fluoride compounds contained in these substances.</p>
<p>Besides the obvious municipal water fluoridation, lots more fluoride is released into our surface water (rivers, lakes) because of industrial mining operations and the production and use of synthetic fertilizers.</p>
<p>Indications:Nausea, loss of appetite, headaches, brain fog, depression, loss of will power, mouth sores and ulcers, mottled teeth, rashes, stiffness, stomach cramps, premature wrinkling, brittle bones and teeth, constipation, overall weakness, muscular weakness, chronic fatigue, excessive thirst, headaches, skin rashes, joint pains, digestive upsets, tingling in the extremities, loss of mental acuity, hyperactivity in children.</p>
<p>Fluoride poisoning can also result in:</p>
<ul>
<li>Destruction of about 60 enzymes, including cytochrome C and cholinesterase, which handle oxygen</li>
<li>Genetic change in sperm and other cells</li>
<li>Downs Syndrome increase of 250% with 70% of these children developing cataracts</li>
<li>Increase in infant mortality, spontaneous abortions and miscarriages</li>
<li>Increased infant birth defects</li>
<li>Goiter</li>
</ul>

<p>Walnut is the Bach Flower Essence used for protection from outside influences, most commonly during some sort of transition or transformation process.</p>
<p>This would include:  puberty, menopause, moving to a new place, traveling, a change in relationship (new or break-up or other loss), change in career, education and learning, dieting or cleansing, building or remodeling your home&#8230;. The list may be endless, but you get the picture.</p>
<p>Walnut is also used to break the chains with the past, including breaking unwanted habits (add <a onmouseover="window.status='Chestnut'; return true" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true" href="http://www.personal-wellness-consultant.com/supplements/bach-flower/chestnut-bud/">Chestnut Bud</a>) and clearing inherited tendencies and disorders.</p>
<p>I find that Walnut Bach Flower Essence is particularly helpful to those who are on some sort of spiritual path (and if you&#8217;re reading this, I assume you are).</p>
<p>All of the Walnut qualities apply to spiritual seekers: transition, protection from undue influence, and changing old behavior patterns. There are periods of my life when I carry a bottle of this remedy in my purse along with Rescue®.</p>

<p><strong>Countering Learning Disability</strong></p>
<p>Your brain can use 40 – 60 % of your blood glucose, so a good, healthy diet is essential when supporting the ability to learn.</p>
<p>Avoid MSG, fake foods, processed sugar (and go easy on the good stuff), caffeine, sodas, and refined (table) salt. Eliminate artificial colorings and flavors, pesticides, and other chemicals. Go as “organic” as possible with your food, and your household, too!</p>
<p>A depleted physical and nervous system makes it practically impossible to be in a mind-open, learning-able state. The ability to understand and carry out instruction, attention span, concentration level, and memory can all be improved with a good diet.</p>
<p>Also, the old phrase, “use it or lose it!” definitely applies here. You need to exercise your body AND your mind, according to your abilities, of course.</p>
<p>Read something every day, even if it’s just the “funnies.”</p>
<p>Learn something new every day. You can do actual research, and you can be observant. The smallest child, and maybe most especially, the person you most loathe, has something to teach you.</p>

<h1>Flatworms are Not a &#8220;Fluke&#8221;</h1>
<h2>&#8230;But They <em>ARE</em> Parasites</h2>
<p>Flukes are flatworm parasites that have two ventral suckers, allowing them to attach themselves to their hosts.</p>
<p>Humans usually become infected by eating undercooked or raw seafood (can you say &#8220;Sushi&#8221;?), infected vegetables such as watercress or water chestnuts, or drinking, swimming, or wading in water that&#8217;s infected.</p>
<p>Even though they are microscopic in size, flukes can lay 100,000 eggs a day. And those eggs are covered with teensy spines, causing a lot of tissue damage as they pass through your body.</p>
<p>And pass through, they do.</p>
<p>Once you&#8217;re infected with parasitic flukes, these flatworms can migrate to all the organs in your body: lungs, heart, intestine, brain, bladder, pancreas, liver, blood vessels; you name it.</p>
<p>And as if that&#8217;s not enough, flukes also release toxic metabolites (wastes from their own metabolic processes), wreaking more havoc with their host&#8217;s tissues.</p>
<p>Types of flukes include:</p>
<p><a target="_blank" onmouseover="window.status='Blood Flukes - Vessel Villains'; return true" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true" href="http://personal-wellness-consultant.com/physical-causes/parasite/blood-flukes"><em><strong>Blood flukes</strong></em></a> &#8211;  can cause blood clots in their host, often associated with strokes, high blood pressure, or heart attack.</p>
<p><a name="fish"></a><em><strong>Fish flukes</strong></em> &#8211; cause skin problems, liver and intestinal pressure, gas and other digestive problems. Avoid undercooked fish.</p>
<p><a target="_blank" name="intestinal"></a><a href="http://www.personal-wellness-consultant.com/physical-causes/parasite/intestinal-flukes"><em><strong>Intestinal flukes</strong></em></a> &#8211; cause excess mucus and sinus trouble, too-slow or too-fast circuit through the digestive tract, intestinal problems, and they are sometimes associated with dioxin poisoning. If they make their way to other organs besides the intestines, they can pave the path to cancer, according to bio-chemist and naturopathic doctor, Hulda Clark, in her book <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1890035009?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=realfoodsmake-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=1890035009"><em>The Cure for All Cancers</em></a><img style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=realfoodsmake-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=1890035009" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" />.</p>
<p><a target="_blank" name="liver"></a><em><strong>Liver flukes</strong></em> &#8211; can be present in any <a onmouseover="window.status='personal-wellness-consultant.com/physical-causes/physical-congestion/liver-congestion/'; return true" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true" href="http://personal-wellness-consultant.com/physical-causes/physical-congestion/liver-congestion/">liver disorder</a>: jaundice, liver swelling or inflammation, general toxic condition, pain in the area of the liver. Often associated with alcohol abuse and hepatitis.</p>
<p><em><strong>Lung flukes</strong></em> &#8211; can cause a dry or persistent cough that just won&#8217;t go away, shortness of breath or impaired breathing, anemia, even oxygen starvation through the entire blood system. Weakened lungs are very attractive to other illnesses like flu, pneumonia, and fungal infections.</p>
<p><a name="lymph"></a><em><strong>Lymph flukes</strong></em> &#8211; may be implicated in any lymphatic disorder including breast cancer, lymphoma, and leukemia. Comes from raw fish and shellfish, and infected water vegetation such as watercress and water chestnuts; can be picked up by drinking or swimming in infected water.</p>
<p><em><strong>Pancreatic flukes</strong></em> &#8211; associated with alcoholism, autism, sugar imbalances such as diabetes and hypoglycemia, candida in the liver, and pancreatic disorders in general. These parasites come from sheep that are weakened by the chemicals on the grass they eat.</p>

<p><strong>What are Glyconutrients?</strong></p>
<p><em>Glyco</em> &#8211; referring to a sugar molecule, and <em>nutrient</em> &#8211; self-explanatory.</p>
<p>Also known as polymannans, these are complex sugars consisting of two mannose molecules and one-glucose molecule.</p>
<p>When connected together, they are scientifically known as <strong>mannose, a polymannose beta 1, 4</strong> molecules.<br />
These polymannans are composed of many lengths, weights, and sizes. Lengths vary from short, medium, long to very long. Within these parameters, each size molecule performs it own unique function in the body.</p>
<p>The varying sizes determine healing properties:</p>
<p><strong>Short Chain Length</strong> &#8211; Small Molecular Weight.  Reduces inflammation, which is involved in such diseases as ulcerative colitis, arthritis, and gastric reflux. Also helps with the reduction of blood sugar with both type I and II diabetes.</p>
<p><strong>Medium Chain Length</strong> &#8211; Medium Molecular Weight. Vitamins and minerals can only function outside the cells, but polysaccharides are very effective <strong><em>intracellular</em></strong> antioxidants and free radical scavengers &#8211; very important in preventing and treating arteriosclerosis, heart disease and Parkinson’s disease. With the ever increasing pollution on the planet and loss of nutrients in the soil, the increase in free radicals and loss of cellular oxygen will only become worse with time. This makes polysaccharides even more important than ever.</p>
<p><strong>Large Chain Length</strong> &#8211; Large Molecular Weight. Has a direct anti-bacterial and anti-viral effect. Important with all the new infectious diseases cropping up and the older ones becoming more virulent from long term use of antibiotics.</p>
<p><strong>Very Large Chain Length</strong> (Acemannan Fraction*) &#8211; Very Large Molecular weight. The very large molecules are <strong>immune modulating</strong>, which have a powerful healing effect on AIDS, cancer and many different immune system disorders. It is also this large molecule the causes the body to produce a natural chemical, <strong>tumor necrosis factor</strong>, which functions to shut off blood supply to tumors. (Dr. Ivan Danhof, M.D., Ph.D.)</p>
<p>Think of mannans as the pearls in a necklace, ranging from lightweight short necklaces with small pearls to very long, heavy weight strands with large pearls. The heavier, longer in length, and larger the pearls are, the more valuable the necklace becomes.  As with mannans, the heavier and longer the chain of polymannose (glyconutrients), the more vital and valuable the function it performs within the body.</p>
<h3>What Do Long Chain Glyconutrients Do in the Body?</h3>
<p>Science now supports the concept that the very long chain mannans have specific immune functions in the body. The immune system is the master system of the body : every other system relies on a properly functioning immune system in order to optimally function themselves.</p>
<p>To illustrate how polymannans and the immune system function together to support the rest of the body’s physiology, think of the body&#8217;s communication system like talking on a cell phone. If you are far from a cell tower, or the tower is down, you will send and receive garbled messages.</p>
<p>These polymannan glyconutrients repair and rebuild the &#8220;cell towers&#8221; on the surface of your cell walls, allowing good communication between your body&#8217;s systems. This means your immune system can perform much better, because it gets more accurate information!</p>
<h3>Glyconutrients are Disappearing from our Diet</h3>
<p>Polymannans are not as readily available in our diet as they were even half a century ago. As the industrial age came to an end, the technological age began ushering in faster and cheaper agricultural practices at the expense of our soil and produce.  Grains, fruits, and vegetables grown today yield fewer nutrients with every new crop generation.  Also, with the practice of food processing and its growing popularity in the Standard American Diet, we are now becoming the victims of our own success.</p>
<p>In decades past, we would be receiving glyconutrients through the consumption of wheat and rice.  In the last 50 years hybrid seeds were developed to strengthen crop resistance to fungus and other parasites, insects, pests, drought, heat and the many other perils of farming.  We got bigger crops, however we sacrificed the most important value of the product &#8211; nutrition.</p>
<p>To make matters worse, poor farming practices such as synthetic fertilizers and pesticides further lowered our seeds&#8217; nutrient value. Even if these products are organic, the amount necessary to eat would not meet your immune system’s mannose requirement. Is it any wonder why our Immune related diseases are on the rise in epidemic proportions?  Through the nutritional supplementation of polymannose, there is hope.</p>
<h3>Aloe’s Glyconutrient Molecules and Characteristics</h3>
<p>Aloe vera has a wide range in the size of the polysaccharide molecules. The Aloe Polysaccharides are composed of individual mannose and glucose sugar molecules connected together. The different size molecules are measured by how long is the molecule length and molecular weight is and the measurement is rated by daltons. These very large molecules referred to the “Acemannan” fraction of aloe polymannans.</p>
<p>The Mannatech company is the largest single supplier of glyconutrient supplements, but I have found that Aloe Immune, from 4R Hhealth Products, is a much more potent formula, and at a fraction of the cost.</p>
<p>They offer 2 doses of the Aloe Immune formula, as well as Nopalacrin to help pancreatic function (high blood sugar levels), and Flora Immune (Lactobacillus sporogenes), a robust probiotic formula that helps restore balance to your digestive tract.</p>
<p>Aloe  Immune is a nutrient-dense, concentrated whole food that should be introduced  to the body in small amounts, and spread out over time. This allows a  &#8220;listening process&#8221; to take place between the mind and body. How each  of our bodies receives Aloe Immune will vary from person to person.</p>
<p><strong><span class="content_header">Dosage suggestions</span></strong><br />
<span class="content">For  optimum results, it is  suggested that you<em> start out slowly</em> and begin with the 150 mg. Aloe Immune capsules.  Over time, you will want to gradually  increase to at least 6 capsules a day.   Once you&#8217;ve reached six 150 mg. capsules per day, then begin taking the  500 mg. capsules. </span></p>
<p><span class="content_header"><strong>Day 1</strong>: </span> <span class="content">Take 1 capsule at bedtime.</span><br />
<span class="content_header"><strong>Day 2</strong>: </span> <span class="content">Take 1 capsule at breakfast, 1 capsule at  lunch and 1 capsule at bedtime.</span><br />
<span class="content_header"><strong>Day 3</strong>: </span> <span class="content">Take 1 capsule at breakfast, 1 capsule at  lunch, 1 capsule at dinner, and 1  capsule at bedtime. </span><br />
<span class="content_header"><strong>Day 4</strong>: </span> <span class="content">Add 1  capsule between meals.</span></p>
<p><span class="content">Remember:  gradually replace the 150 mg. capsules with the 500 mg. capsules.  <em>If possible, for maximum absorption, open the capsule and  take the powder straight in a glass of purified water or juice. </em>You may want to  maintain this same protocol for 3 to 6 months. </span></p>
<p class="content">Each  person has different health objectives and tolerance levels. Therefore, listen  to your body and go at your own speed. You may notice an increased amount of  energy, or you may immediately experience signs of detoxification.</p>
<p><strong class="content_header">What is detoxification?</strong><br />
<span class="content"><a target="_blank" href="http://www.cleanse-pro.net" target="new">Detoxification</a> is a necessary cleansing process that allows tissues to repair themselves. When  the body completes this process, your reward is restored health.</span></p>
<p class="content">Detoxification  is nothing more than toxins being released from the cells, circulating through  the bloodstream, and finding their way to an eliminative channel (skin, lungs,  eyes, ears, etc.). On occasion, a temporary onset of symptoms may occur if the  body needs to go through this process. Symptoms may include:</p>
<ol>
<li>Headache</li>
<li>Rashes</li>
<li>Fatigue</li>
<li>Constipation / Diarrhea</li>
<li>Depression</li>
<li>Irritability</li>
<li>Flu-like Symptoms</li>
</ol>
<p class="content">Elimination  or disposing of the body’s waste products is a natural process the body  experiences everyday. However, when the focus is on healing, the body’s  reaction may feel a bit distressing while this detoxification process takes  place.</p>
<p><strong class="content_header">Reducing the intensity  of detoxification</strong><br />
<span class="content">Allow  your body to adjust by starting with a lower milligram serving and then  increase the amount slowly over time. If detoxification symptoms occur, reduce  dosage to that of the previous day, and then increase the next day or several  days. </span></p>
<p class="content">For  example:  On Day 1, Day 2, and Day 3, no  unusual symptoms are experienced; however, on Day 4, you experience a  detoxification symptom. What to do?</p>
<p class="content">Simply  cut back to the dosage you were taking before the symptom occurred.  Pay attention to your body and gradually  increase the dosage over time, to the amount the body can handle.</p>
<p><strong>Minimizing  detoxification symptoms<span class="content_header"> </span></strong><br />
<span class="content">Increase  your water intake! Drink a minimum of 8 glasses of water per day. This  additional water is necessary for flushing toxins out of the system. </span></p>

<p>Chestnut Bud is the Bach Flower Essence for mental maturity and experience.</p>
<p>It increases your general ability to learn by helping you remember and compare your experiences in life so that better decisions can be made in similar circumstances.</p>
<p>In <em>Advanced Bach Flower Therapy</em>, Goetz Blome states “Our spirit is more open, we are more ready and able to take things in, and our interest in things outside our narrow area of experience increases.”</p>
<p>Life is a constant learning process— hopefully we take these experiences and benefit from them somehow.</p>
<p>It is important to broaden intellectual openness and general awareness. Gradually, the memories of emotional traumas, large and small, enter the consciousness. You could say they surface when the time is right for them to be healed.</p>
<p>Chestnut Bud helps bring awareness; with awareness comes understanding;  with understanding comes learning and wisdom. With wisdom, you can consciously CHOOSE to do things differently, so as to get different results.</p>
<p>Children having learning difficulties in school (in addition to using Chestnut Bud) may need a change in learning approach (visual, kinesthetic, etc.), subject matter, or maybe the teacher or scheduling.</p>
<p>Adults with problems at work or in relationships, or those who keep having the same problem over and over again, should examine their living/working conditions to determine if there is something better for them.</p>
<p>Sometimes there are nutritional deficiencies or other physical issues, such as exhaustion, that must be addressed as well.</p>

<blockquote><p><i>Visualize a lone cloud on a hill, floating effortlessly through space and time. Imagine you are that cloud and with every inhale and exhale, you are blowing yourself gracefully across the heavens, forgetting all sorrow, pain and worry of the hills below…</i></p></blockquote>
<p>The art of meditation takes many forms and titles. Meditation has been practiced for over 5,000 years mainly in eastern religious traditions such as Buddhism and Hinduism. Other religions that have used forms of meditation include Janism, Sikhism, New Age, Taoism and Islam. Christianity and Judaism have forms of meditation as well that are very different from eastern religions but still create relaxation and peace in the body.</p>

<p>Techniques are used not only for spiritual purposes, but also health purposes such as yoga meditation and secular meditation which fight against anxiety, stress and chronic physical pain.</p>
<p>By clearing the mind, relaxing the muscles and focusing on deep breathing, circulation, posture and concentration are improved. Yoga is deeply tied to eastern religions and its goal is to improve health and well-being and reaching Moksha which is the release from the cycle of life, death and rebirth and all the suffering attached to it.</p>
<p>There are many different types of meditation techniques including: Mantra, Trakata, Chakra, Vispanna, Raj Yoga, Zazen, and Nada Yoga. All of them include focusing on breathing, entering into an alternate state of consciousness and focusing on a strong sense of self. </p>
<p>Beyond being conscious of one’s breathing, there is a wide variety of techniques that help with reaching the developmental goal that the person is aiming for which include:</p>
</p>
<ul>
<li><b>Upward</b> which acts to reverse the pull of gravity on the consciousness by lifting the consciousness out of the body</li>
</p>
<li><b>Mind-centered</b> in which the mind is a blank slate</li>
<li><b>Monastic</b> which involves exploring death’s mystery</li>
<li><b>Observer</b> where you watch your thoughts and emotions as they happen from an outside perspective</li>
<li><b>Passive</b> where the mind makes no judgment similar to daydreaming or sleep</li>
<li><b>Fantasy-based</b> where the person goes to an alternate place in his/her mind</li>
<li><b>Trance</b> which included rhythmic chanting</li>
<li><b>Denial</b> or <b>Dualistic</b> where divisions in the universe are realized and questioned</li>
<li><b>Religious</b> where one thinks about an inspiring religious leader</li>
</ul>
<p>Transcendental Meditation was introduced in 1957 by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, disciple of the Indian spiritual leader, Swami Brahmananda Saraswati. Yogi developed programs and initiatives to promote transcendental meditation and spent time touring the world teaching what he had learned. </p>
<p>The technique involves sitting with one’s eyes closed for twenty minutes, twice a day and not contemplating but setting up a framework for the mind to move inwardly instead of being flooded with different ideas and feelings.</p>
<p>Music is a tool that is not only used for entertainment but for healing as well. Certain tones and chords can stimulate brainwaves, produce deep relaxation, increase the ability to learn, relieve stress, and even heal the body as a result of listening and feeling the music. </p>
<p>Almost everyone has experienced deep feelings from a song a favorite artist plays or an experience at a concert.</p>
<p>Music can increase self-growth and fulfillment in certain areas of one’s life. Meditation music is one of many forms of music that can accomplish this. It acts to correspond with meditation practices to promote self awareness and relaxation as well as deep connection. It is also used in spas during massages to help the patient relax fully.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>For Electromagnetic Imbalance or Electromagnetic Interference</h3>
</p>
<p><img border="0" src="http://www.personal-wellness-consultant.com/images/laptop-cell250.jpg" align="Left" WIDTH="251" HEIGHT="167" alt="A cell phone AND a laptop...She needs an electromagnetic chaos eliminator"></p>
<p>I believe most people in our society today need an electromagnetic chaos eliminator,  called a <a target="_blank" href="http://personal-wellness-consultant.com/electromagneticchaoseliminator-qlink" OnMouseOut="window.status='Q Link'; return true"  OnMouseOver="window.status='Q Link'; return true"><i><b>Q Link</b></i></a>, because they suffer from electromagnetic interference.
<p>It’s everywhere: computers, TVs, cell phones, microwaves, super-sized electrical power lines and transformers. <br clear="all">
<p align="Left">Some folks are even more sensitive,  and are affected by the energy- or frequency- of other people’s emotions. You know how you can walk into a room and immediately feel like you don’t want to be there (even when you&#8217;re not facing the IRS auditor or your ex-spouse <img src='http://www.personal-wellness-consultant.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' />
<p align="Left">Perhaps it&#8217;s <i>energy</i> that you&#8217;re feeling?
<p><b>Maybe we all need protection.</b>
</p>
<p>
<p>We live in a flow of electromagnetic energy: it surrounds us and passes through us. This is our natural state.</p>
<p>
<p align="Left">When a “something” impedes this flow, a “short circuit” occurs, and the divine pattern of Life and health is skewed.
<p><embed id="VideoPlayback" src="http://video.google.com/googleplayer.swf?docid=-8596016390862320540&#038;hl&#038;rel=0=en&#038;fs=true" style="width:400px;height:326px" allowFullScreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed>
<p><a href="http://www.personal-wellness-consultant.com/electromagneticchaoseliminator-qlink"><b><i>Buy a Q Link NOW</i></b></a>
<p>The very large magnets used in MRIs, etc. can really mess with your personal electromagnetic frequency and magnetic flow. It’s a good idea to find someone who does “energy work” and get a session or two from him/her after you’ve had a CAT scan or MRI. Or a severe electrical shock.</p>
<p>
<p align="Left">Being on the receiving end of a violent emotional (angry) outburst can also affect your body’s electrical system. This is one of the things that dedicated meditators (try saying <i>that</i> three times, quickly) are working on in their practice of <a href="http://www.personal-wellness-consultant.com/meditation/practice-meditation" OnMouseOut="window.status='The Practice of Meditation'; return true"  OnMouseOver="window.status='The Practice of Meditation'; return true">daily meditation</a>: redesigning and rebuilding their neurotransmitters so they are not (as) affected by  the chaos that comes at them.</p>
<p>
<p align="Left">Some possible symptoms of electromagnetic imbalance are restlessness, nervousness, lack of energy, moody or fearful, central nervous system disorders, poor circulation, malfunctioning or <a href="http://www.personal-wellness-consultant.com/causes-of-illness/congestion-physical.html" OnMouseOut="window.status=''; return true"  OnMouseOver="window.status='www.personal-wellness-consultant.com/causes-of-illness/congestion-physical.html'; return true">congested organs</a>, nutritionally deficient, or excessive <a href="http://www.personal-wellness-consultant.com/environmental-toxins.html" OnMouseOut="window.status=''; return true"  OnMouseOver="window.status='http://www.personal-wellness-consultant.com/causes-of-illness/environmental-toxins.html'; return true">toxins</a>, especially heavy metals.
<p align="Left">A non-magnetic tool, the patented Q Link technology (electromagnetic chaos eliminator), has been available on the market a number of years (it is worn as a pendant). I’ve found them to be helpful for myself and for my clients in relieving stress, keeping a calm outlook, soothing nerves, and clearing brain fog. Some people even believe it  keeps their blood pressure at a normal level (possibly it helps with their anger issues?).
<p align="Left">Now that Kevin Trudeau has recommended using <a href="http://www.personal-wellness-consultant.com/home-remedy/electromagneticchaoseliminator-qlink.html">electromagnetic chaos eliminators</a> (in his <i>Natural Cures</i> book) for avoiding electrical pollution, I’m seeing more and more pendants on people, and even on <i>pets</i>!
<p><img border="0" src="http://www.personal-wellness-consultant.com/images/power-lines.jpg" align="Right" WIDTH="216" HEIGHT="144" alt="We all need EMF protection"></p>
<p><br CLEAR="ALL"><br />
<h3>Magnets for Healing</h3>
<p align="Left">On the other hand, <i>healing</i> with magnetism is the oldest form of healing known to humankind. The huge electromagnetic power of the Universe is utilized in “the laying on of hands.”
<p align="Left">Your body, like a magnet (and like the Earth), has a positive (right; masculine) side, and a negative (left; feminine) side (this doesn’t particularly refer to gender. Well, maybe sometimes- a whole ‘nother subject).
<p align="Left">North- and south-pole magnets have been used for healing for a really long time, and there are a lot of conflicting theories about what works best. Maybe I was prejudiced by <a href="http://www.personal-wellness-consultant.com/causes-of-illness">my teacher</a> , but I believe the magnets are more helpful when they are in motion, rather than taped or strapped to your body. The teensy magnets that acupuncturists use are a different matter: they are literally pin-pointing an acupuncture point with magnetic stimulation.
<p>Some people find benefit using the magnetic products on the market. Some aren’t helped at all, and some folks find the magnets to be very annoying (I’m one of these- they actually make me weaker).<br CLEAR="ALL"><br CLEAR="ALL">
<p align="Left">
<p><a name= "shoemagnets"></a><br />
<blockquote>Here’s an easy and inexpensive way to boost your own electromagnetic frequency without risking too high an input—
<p align="Left"></p>
<p>Buy a roll of “refrigerator  magnet” material from the craft store. Cut off about an inch for each of your feet. Apply to the inside of your shoes, in the arch (if you put it under the insert, you probably won’t even feel it). This will make your own electromagnetic field, and your  immune system, stronger.</p></blockquote>
<p align="Left">One of the reasons I moved to a rural area is that I seem to be highly sensitive to all the microwave and other electrical pollution that is a constant in the city. </p>
<p>But even though the exposure is not as great here in the country, I do use a cell phone (and a cordless phone in my house), watch TV occasionally, am on the computer an awful lot, and my day job is right across the street from a public WI-FI connection.
<p align="Left">So the first thing I put on when I get dressed in the morning?<br />You guessed it — my Q Link !
<p><a target="_blank" target="new" href="http://www.radiationshield.info" OnMouseOut="window.status='ave Shield'; return true"  OnMouseOver="window.status='Wave Shield'; return true">Protect Your Ears &#038; Brain from Cell Phone Radiation</a><br />The average hands-free kit for mobile phones doesn&#8217;t protect your brain from radiation. Instead, they channel three times the dose into the skull that you receive by holding the phone next to your ear, according to the Consumer&#8217;s Association.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My favorite Liver Cleanse is one of  Dr. Christopher’s formulas. A combination of Barberry bark, Wild Yam root, Cramp bark, Fennel seed, Ginger root, Catnip herb, and Peppermint leaf, this cleansing formula allows and encourages your body in it’s own natural processes.</p>
<p>But please do a bowel cleanse first  so your liver will have a clean (or at least moderately so) place to dump its garbage. A kidney cleanse might also be in order, depending on your particular issues.</p>
<h3>Easy Liver Cleanse</h3>
<div class="zemanta-img" style="margin: 1em; display: block;">
<div>
<dl class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 160px;">
<dt class="wp-caption-dt"><a target="_blank" href="http://commons.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:NIH_citrus.jpg"><img title="Wedges of pink grapefruit, lime, and lemon, an..." src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/9d/NIH_citrus.jpg" alt="Wedges of pink grapefruit, lime, and lemon, an..." width="150" height="145" /></a></dt>
<dd class="wp-caption-dd zemanta-img-attribution" style="font-size: 0.8em;">Image via <a target="_blank" href="http://commons.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:NIH_citrus.jpg">Wikipedia</a></dd>

<p>This mild liver flush I learned from Hanna Kroeger:</p>
<p>Take the fresh juice of two oranges and three lemons (2 lemons if they are large) and  “whirr” it in a blender for <strong>2 or 3 seconds only</strong> with 3 ounces of good quality (preferably organic) cold-pressed olive oil.</p>
<p>Drink this lovely concoction first thing in the morning for five days in a row. Eat nothing else til noon Don’t worry- you probably won’t be hungry).</p>
<h3>Basic Liver Cleanse</h3>
<p>This one is also from Hanna Kroeger.</p>
<p>Eat nothing but stewed tomatoes and tomato juice for two days. [Note: my acupuncture teacher suggested this same liver cleanse recipe, but substituted apples and diluted apple juice instead of tomatoes. This would be preferable if you are sensitive to nightshades]</p>
<p>At bedtime on the second day, drink down (quickly) a combination of 3 ounces of olive oil, 2 ounces castor oil, and 3 ounces whipping cream (NOT whipped cream). Go immediately to bed.</p>
<p>If all goes as planned, you should need to get up in the early morning (3 or 4 AM) to go to the bathroom. Don’t be alarmed at the result; it will probably be quite foul.</p>
<p>Go back to bed and eat a nice breakfast after you get up.</p>
<h3>Mediterranean Liver Cleanse</h3>
<p>For a liver that just won’t “give it up,” try this intensive liver flush:</p>
<p>Drink one ounce of olive oil mixed with one ounce of lemon juice.</p>
<p>Here’s the really important part. You need to drink this 2 ounce mixture <strong>every 20 minutes</strong>, all day (10 – 12 hours).  If you get to a point where you just can’t swallow this cocktail, wait another 20 minutes and try again.</p>
<p>Don’t give up!</p>
<hr size="1" />After de-congesting your liver, take dry Vitamin A (or Beta Carotene) daily for a month to help rebuild healthy tissue.</p>

<p>The liver is your body’s largest gland. It lies mostly under the right ribcage (beneath the diaphragm), but extends to the left side at the top. It is shaped sort of like a triangle, if you saw a diagram looking at the front of the body.</p>
<p>Its most important job (it has many) is to reduce or remove <a onmouseover="window.status='Environmental Toxins'; return true" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true" href="http://www.personal-wellness-consultant.com/causes-of-illness/environmental-toxins.html">toxic chemicals</a> from the bloodstream.</p>
<p>This includes pharmaceutical and recreational drugs, poisonous substances including insect stings, and even <a onmouseover="window.status='Emotion and Etheriological Substances'; return true" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true" href="http://www.personal-wellness-consultant.com/causes-of-illness/emotion.html">emotionally-produced toxins</a></p>
<p>and overload of reactive foodstuffs.</p>
<p>The liver is the most affected organ when it comes to <a href="http://www.personal-wellness-consultant.com/causes-of-illness/environmental-toxins.html">metal and chemical poisoning</a>. When your liver is overloaded, it becomes unable to detoxify your system (This can happen quickly, as in massive exposure to some toxic substance, or it can be a gradual build-up over  years of “abuse”).</p>
<p>That’s when your body starts accumulating (storing) toxins.</p>
<p>Cirrhosis of the liver is a degenerative inflammatory disease that results in hardening and scarring of liver cells. A condition that is similar to cirrhosis, but on a microscopic scale, is caused by parasites &#8211;  <a onmouseover="window.status='www.personal-wellness-consultant.com/physical-causes/parasite/flukes'; return true" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true" href="http://www.personal-wellness-consultant.com/physical-causes/parasite/flukes">liver flukes</a> &#8211; “tunneling” through the tissue. This obviously causes damage and scarring, and so affects liver function.</p>
<p>The liver has a huge capacity to regenerate itself, if given the chance. This ability to produce more liver tissue is the reason that people with liver dysfunction, such as cirrhosis, may have a “pregnant” look (their liver has become enlarged and probably even “hardened.”</p>
<p>If much of the liver becomes unusable, the body simply make a larger liver, so the body can continue to operate on a fairly normal basis).</p>
<p>Jaundice is due to congestion or blockage in the gall bladder duct, or can be from infection.</p>
<p>A “sluggish” liver can be helped by applying castor oil over the entire abdomen and up onto the ribcage (Castor oil is very difficult to wash out of fabric. Either wear clothing that it’s OK to stain, or use Saran wrap or similar plastic film to shield your clothing and bed linens). This is an <a target="_blank" onmouseover="window.status='Edgar Cayce Foundation'; return true" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true" href="http://edgarcayce.org" target="_new">Edgar Cayce</a> remedy that I’ve seen help even in cases of hepatitis.</p>
<p>Symptoms of liver congestion include allergies, stiff neck, alcohol abuse (or other addictions), malnutrition, nutritional malabsorption issues, diarrhea, upset stomach, jaundice, hepatitis, cirrhosis of the liver, “liver spots”, puffy face, hemorrhoids, strong body odor, tendency to hold weight in the upper abdomen, and chronic throat problems.</p>

<p>A bacterial infection can&#8217;t get inside a living cell. Instead, it surrounds the cell and multiplies in the waste it creates.</p>
<p>There are a number of effective anti-microbials (germ killers) on the alternative medicine lists. The main ones are colloidal silver, oregano oil, olive leaf, and for topical use only, tea tree oil. Echinacea and goldenseal are considered <em>bacteriostatic</em>; they discourage bacteria from reproducing, which allows your immune system to make better headway.</p>
<p>A round of antibiotics will kill the invading bacteria (and the good guys, too), but will leave the cell uninjured.</p>
<p>But since the beneficial bacteria has <em>also</em> been wiped out, it&#8217;s very important to replace the good guys by taking pro-biotics, such as acidophilus or lactobacillus.</p>
<p>Use a good supplement for two to six weeks after an antibiotic treatment, then make sure to eat fermented foods like kefir, yogurt, sauerkraut, or kimchi on a regular basis.</p>
<p>This will help maintain (or regain) balance and help your immune system.</p>
<p>Half of the antibiotics used in the USA are given to farm animals &#8211; our food supply &#8211; and is part of the reason bacterial infections are becoming immune to antibiotic treatment. The surviving bacteria pass their drug-resistant genes along, and common germs that were once easy to extinguish are getting harder to kill with available drugs.</p>
<p>One more reason to strengthen your immune system.</p>
<p><strong>Intestinal bacteria</strong> &#8211; Antibiotics tend to drive this condition deeper into the body.</p>
<p><strong>Staphylococcus</strong> &#8211; Staph is often found in hospitals and indirectly contributes to many deaths.</p>
<p><strong>Strep</strong> &#8211; A strep infection can turn you into a hot and short-tempered person.</p>

<p>If you watch television, listen to the radio, or surf the internet, you&#8217;ve probably heard about air purifiers before. Air purifiers are electronic machines that work to make your indoor surroundings healthier &#8211; by trapping harmful dust particles within the filters or collection grids. Essentially, this means that your air will not just be healthier, but also easier to breathe.</p>
<p>Despite the fact that you know what an air purifier is and what it does, do you know the advantages of owning or making use of one? In the event you don&#8217;t currently use an air purifier or an air cleaner, there&#8217;s an excellent possibility that you&#8217;ll want one, after examining their benefits.</p>
<p>Air cleaners eliminate dangerous or unhealthy contaminants from the air, including dust, mold, pollen, and pet dander. This can make it easier to breathe, and life becomes much nicer, especially for those with respiratory allergies. Your health is likely to improve; you may find yourself getting ill less often.</p>
<p>In addition to better physical health, it has been said that the air we breathe has an impact on our emotions and wellbeing. This means that breathing cleaner air &#8211; thanks to an air purifier &#8211; you may not only be healthier, but you might even enjoy life a little bit more.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, many people believe that air purifiers cost too much money. It is true that their up-front cost can be high, but you need to think about how you are benefitting from its use. Can you genuinely put a price tag on clean, healthy, and breathable air? Even if you must put a price  on it, you still have a number of options. Air purifiers come in different makes and models, with various capacities and price tags.</p>
<p>With a little bit of research, you should be able to get an air purifier within your price range.</p>
<p>As great as air purifiers are, it&#8217;s important to remember one thing: You can&#8217;t reap the benefits of owning an air purifier if you don&#8217;t use it. In most cases, you will find that air cleaners work best if you use them all with the time. This allows your air purifier to keep up with all of the airborne  particles floating around inside your house.</p>
<p>If you make the decision to purchase an air purifier, make sure you actually use it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Aluminum poisoning affects the neural tissue and spine; it can settle in the brain where it inhibits cell oxygenation (there is a definite relationship of aluminum and Alzheimer&#8217;s disease. <em>Officially</em>, it&#8217;s not known whether too much aluminum leads to Alzheimer&#8217;s, or if Alzheimer&#8217;s causes your brain to hold on to aluminum).</p>
<p>Mucous membranes are also greatly affected by this mineral. When exposed to aluminum, the sinuses produce more mucous (trying to rinse it out?), creating sinus drainage, which can lead to sore throat and lung congestion.</p>
<p>Or if the sinuses aren&#8217;t draining properly, a sinus infection can be the result.</p>
<h2>Sources of Aluminum Toxicity</h2>
<p><a target="_blank" onmouseover="window.status='Toxicity and Aluminum'; return true" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true" href="http://www.emedicine.com/med/topic113.htm" target="_new">Aluminum poisoning</a> can come from practically anywhere: beer and soda cans, aluminum foil and cookware, antacids and baking powder (get the NON-aluminum kind to bake with); it&#8217;s the active ingredient in anti-perspirants.</p>
<p>Aluminum sulphate is sometimes added to foods to prevent caking, and to municipal water supplies to make the water less cloudy. <em>Safe</em> levels, of course <img src='http://www.personal-wellness-consultant.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Using commercial hair dyes, toothpaste, and baby powder can all lead to aluminum toxicity. Remember &#8211; heavy metal poisoning is cumulative. Read ingredients carefully.</p>
<p>Chem Trails are another source of aluminum toxicity. Evidently, aluminum (when ground to a powder) can be added to jet fuel without adversely affecting the engines. Maybe this is why Chem Trails seem to glow in the moonlight.</p>
<p>Possible symptoms of  poisoning from aluminum include Alzheimer&#8217;s disease, forgetfulness, stomach ulcers or stomach pain, chronic sinus problems, low thyroid, <a href="http://www.personal-wellness-consultant.com/physical-congestion/kidney-stones">kidney problems</a> (especially the right kidney), dry mouth, small, hard stools, babies who cry a lot.</p>
<h2>How to Avoid Aluminum Poisoning</h2>
<p>If you drink beer, stick to the small, specialized breweries. They&#8217;re more likely to be using stainless steel brew tanks and glass bottles.</p>
<p>Avoid sodas; it&#8217;s pretty difficult to find a brand that&#8217;s halfway healthy anyway. Even the organic ones are mostly empty calories.</p>
<p>Stainless steel cookware is probably safer than its aluminum counterpart; <a href="http://www.personal-wellness-consultant.com/cookinwithglass" target="new">Pyrex®</a> and Corningware® may be better. Practice eating more of your vegetables <em>raw</em>.</p>
<p>Read all ingredients carefully, whether it&#8217;s food or cosmetics. Use as few chemicals (read: stuff you can&#8217;t pronounce) as is practical.</p>
<p>The best remedy for aluminum poisoning is probably in the homeopathic realm. These formulas (or single remedies) can safely chelate heavy metal toxicity and take it out of your body.</p>
<p><a onmouseover="window.status='More on Environmental Toxins'; return true" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true" href="http://www.personal-wellness-consultant.com/environmental-toxins">More on Environmental Toxins</a><br />
The two leading categories of environmental toxins are chemical poisons and metal poisons, with magnetic (electrical) imbalances quickly gaining.</p>

<p>The action of gratitude works on your brain&#8217;s physiology. It is a useful approach to lifting your spirit to a higher frequency&#8230; where deep and lasting change can occur.</p>

<p>This poem of gratitude was found on a scrap of paper in a concentration camp dormitory in Germany at the end of the second World War:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>Lord, remember not only the men of good will,<br />
But also those of ill will.<br />
</em></p>
<p><em>But do not remember all the suffering they have<br />
inflicted upon us. </em></p>
<p><em>Remember rather the fruits we have brought,<br />
thanks to this suffering: </em></p>
<p><em>Our comradeship,<br />
Our loyalty,<br />
Our humility;</em></p>
<p><em>The courage, the generosity, the greatness of heart<br />
That has grown out of this. </em></p>
<p><em>And when they come to judgment,<br />
Let all the fruits we have bourne<br />
Be their forgiveness.</em></p></blockquote>
<p>There is a very simple reason why most spiritual traditions suggest that when praying, we give thanks to the Creator for what we already have, rather than ask for what we do not have. The attitude of gratitude and the vibration it creates within us always attracts more good things to us.</p>
<h3>Apply the Attitude of Gratitude to Supercharge Your Success</h3>
<p>You can do this by consciously training yourself to notice everything you have to be grateful for, and by doing so, tap into the power of thankfulness and appreciation.</p>
<p>Gratitude is often overlooked and seldom ever considered to be an important aspect of re-programming your subconscious for success.</p>
<p>What about all the stories that you read and hear about ordinary people who excel after they adopting gratitude as part of their everyday life?</p>
<p>Being grateful and seeing situations &#8211; whether pleasant or unpleasant &#8211;  as a blessing, brings more abundance, joy, and happiness into your life.</p>
<p>When you are thankful for something &#8211; no matter how small it is &#8211; you are putting into action the Law of Attraction to get even more of what you want and deserve. Watch how the power of gratitude works to create peace, beauty and joy in your life. The most powerful mind-set we can ever have is the attitude of gratitude.</p>
<p>By learning to appreciate what you have, you increase your ability to harvest the abundance of God&#8217;s blessings.</p>
<p>When you are able to fully develop that awareness (and with a little practice, you will), not only is it an extremely freeing experience, but you are setting yourself up for a much greater flow of abundance and happiness being attracted to and coming into your life.</p>
<p>The Universal Laws that govern everything in Creation are in place. You only need to learn to operate in harmony with them. When you adopt an attitude of gratitude, it will allow you to attract the abundance and happiness in your life that you desire.</p>
