Swine Flu Fear Factor – Essential Oils to the Rescue!

Posted on November 1st, 2009 by Connie at Vital Living 

I don’t recall a greater time during my life where the fear tactics have reached such ridiculous levels throughout the world regarding health scares. With the newest of course being the Swine Flu H1N1.  In fact, it has now been declared an epidemic/pandemic. And this was done prior to gathering sufficient evidence to relate the real facts to the public.

While I do agree the Swine Flu is a reality.  I also believe that there is no need for fear.  We each have a choice to take the bait of fear being thrown our way and react by getting vaccinated or using other recommended flu preventative products, which causes further toxicity in the body thus lowering the immune system.  Oh, but they won’t tell you this.  You have to take the initiative to learn this yourself.

The other alternative is to respond by taking responsibility for our own health and learn what to do to keep our immune system optimized thus decreasing the risk of contracting flu bugs and viruses.  The choice is yours, fear and bondage or responsibility and freedom…hmmm.  Choices, choices, choices.

One of the fastest most effective ways to optimize the immune system is by going back to the basics God provided for us way back around 4500 B.C. of using pure essential oils to address health issues and maintain optimum health.

By the way, did you know that essential oils were actually mankind’s first medicine?  And they are making a great comeback today, especially in Europe where doctors actually prescribe them to patients.  In fact, essential oils are also used in prescribed medications but manmade chemical compounds are also added which is where the side effects come from.

Essential Oils themselves do not have side effects.  They are simply extracted from various parts of plants, trees, roots, bark, and seeds etc.  And the really cool thing is that your body never develops immunity to them like it does with medications.  This is one of the greatest values of essential oils.  They are nature’s antibiotic and can handle any mutations of super bugs that come forth. Hmmm…again.

These oils are the regenerating and oxygenating immune defense property of plants, optimizing their health, growth, and healing. They contain nutrients, hormones, enzymes, vitamins, minerals, and antibodies, along with antifungal, antibacterial, anti-infectious, antiseptic, and immune-stimulating properties.  Wow!  All of that from plants?  Yes, and this is all happening while they are looking pretty in your garden.

Now I am only talking about 100% Pure Therapeutic-Grade Essential oils here not the substandard adulterated essential oils available in most stores and such.   After years of research, testing, and personal experiences my choice of essential oils to use is only Young Living’s (YL).   Hands down, they are the most effective oils on the market today.

Anyone who has ever used YL’s essential oils knows the difference.  They quickly address symptoms in the body as they build and protect. Every time you inhale or apply YL’s oils to the body you are increasing the oxygen level of your body helping it to purge toxins and fight off disease pathogens.   This is why I use oils on a daily basis.  They have helped me build a superior immune system.

You know what they say…good things come in small packages.  So here it is in a nutshell – the greatest oxygenating immune-stimulating substance in a tiny bottle – and all provided by nature.    It doesn’t get any better or easier than this.  And so it is…

Connie

P.S. Make sure you work with a qualified person who can successfully guide you with essential oils usage, such as myself who has over 10 years of training and experience with essential oils.  This is the primary reason Young Living oils are sold through distributors and not in stores.

Whilst on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland Australia, I ventured into a shop that was very warm and inviting ….. Not to sure what to expect, I went in with an open mind and sore body.  I was taken into a quiet, relaxing area, removed my shoes and laid on what looked like a normal bed.

I was given instructions and handed some controls.  It was all setup and ready to go – then it began …………                            

I felt warmth on my back and then slight pressure to my along my spine.  The movement of the massage heads up and down my body was phenominal.  The 30 minutes I booked in for went so quickly – yet so calmly.  I got up at the end of my session, had a drink of water and felt fabulous.

On speaking with the owner, I was amazed at the benefits that have been associated with daily use of the Migun massage bed.  There are 5 principles – spinal mobilisation, massage, acupressure, heat therapy and qi-energy.

Who would think that a bed could do all that?  The Migun technology combines helium based lights with jade stone massage heads, creating far-infrared heat that penetrates deep into the muscular and cellualr levels.   As a positive by-product from using the bed, it assists in relieving tension, tightness and soreness of muscles while stimulating the activities of the cells, removing dead cells and destroying free radicals and releasing toxins.  This also promotes increased blood circulation and oxygenation of the blood supply. 

There are many other benefits and as with most health products, some will receive greater and quicker improvement than others.  With me – I enjoyed it from the start.  Felt great afterwards and now tell everyone about it.

You can call +61 7  5443 8877 for further information or if you live nearby call (07) 5443 8877 and make a booking. 

You will wonder why you hadn’t done this sooner …………

Here’s to your healthy new you!!!

Asparagus

My Mom had been taking the full-stalk canned style asparagus that she pureed and she took 4 tablespoons in the morning and 4 tablespoons later in the day. She did this for over a month. She is on chemo pills for Stage 3 lung cancer in the pleural area and her cancer cell count went from 386 down to 125 as of this past week. Her oncologist said she does not need to see him for 3 months.

THE ARTICLE:
Several years ago, I had a man seeking asparagus for a friend who had cancer. He gave me a photocopied copy of an article,entitled, `Asparagus for cancer’ printed in Cancer News Journal, December 1979.
I will share it here, just as it was shared with me:
‘I am a biochemist,and have specialized in the relation of diet to health for over 50 years..Several years ago, I learned of the discovery of Richard R. Vensal, D.D.S. that asparagus might cure cancer.

Since then, I have worked with him on his project. We have accumulated a number of favorable case histories. Here are a few examples:
Case No. 1, A man with an almost hopeless case of Hodgkin’s disease (cancer of the lymph glands) who was completely incapacitated. Within 1 year of starting the asparagus therapy, his doctors were unable to detect any signs of cancer, and he was back on a schedule of strenuous exercise.

Case No. 2, a successful businessman 68 years old who suffered from cancer of the bladder for 16 years. After years of medical treatments, including radiation without improvement, he went on asparagus. Within 3 months, examinations revealed that his bladder tumor had disappeared and that his kidneys were normal.

Case No.. 3, a man who had lung cancer. On March 5th 1971, he was put on the operating table where they found lung cancer so widely spread that it was inoperable. The surgeon sewed him up and declared his case hopeless. On April 5th he heard about the asparagus therapy and immediately started taking it. By August, x-ray pictures revealed that all signs of the cancer had disappeared…
He is back20at his regular business routine.

Case No. 4, a woman who was troubled for a number of years with skin cancer. She finally developed different skin cancers which were diagnosed by the acting specialist as advanced. Within 3 months after starting on asparagus, her skin specialist said that her skin looked fine and no more skin lesions. This woman reported that the asparagus therapy also cured her kidney disease, which started in 1949. She had over 10 operations for kidney stones, and was receiving government disability payments for an inoperable, terminal, kidney condition. She attributes the cure of this kidney trouble entirely to the asparagus.

I was not surprised at this result, as `The elements of materia medica’, edited in 1854 by a Professor at the University of Pennsylvania, stated that asparagus was used as a popular remedy for kidney stones. He even referred to experiments, in 1739, on the power of asparagus in dissolving stones. Note the dates!
We would have other case histories but the medical establishment has interfered with our obtaining some of the records. I am therefore appealing to readers to spread this good news and help us to gather a large number of case histories that will overwhelm the medical skeptics about this unbelievably simple and natural remedy.
For the treatment, asparagus should be cooked before using, and therefore canned asparagus is just as good as fresh.

I have corresponded with the two leading canners of asparagus, Giant and Stokely, and I am satisfied that these brands contain no pesticides or preservatives.
Place the cooked asparagus in a blender and liquefy to make a puree, and store in the refrigerator. Give the patient 4 full tablespoons twice daily, morning and evening.
Patients usually show some improvement in from 2-4 weeks. It can be diluted with water and used as a cold or hot drink.

This suggested dosage is based on present experience, but certainly larger amounts can do no harm and may be needed in some cases.
As a biochemist I am convinced of the old saying that `what cures can prevent’. Based on this theory, my wife and I have been using asparagus puree as a beverage with our meals.
We take 2 tablespoons diluted in water to suit our taste with breakfast and with dinner. I take mine hot and my wife prefers hers cold. For years we have made it a practice to have blood surveys taken as part of our regular checkups.

The last blood survey, taken by a medical doctor who specializes in the nutritional approach to health, showed substantial improvements in all categories over the last one, and we can attribute these improvements to nothing but the asparagus drink…
As a biochemist, I have made an extensive study of all aspects of cancer, and all of the proposed cures.

As a result, I am convinced that asparagus fits in better with the latest theories about cancer. Asparagus contains a good supply of protein called histones, which are believed to be active in controlling cell growth. For that reason, I believe asparagus can be said to contain a substance that I call cell growth normalizer. That accounts for its action on cancer and in acting as a general body tonic.

In any event, regardless of theory, asparagus used as we suggest, is a harmless substance. The FDA cannot prevent you from using it and it may do you much good. It has been reported by the US National Cancer Institute, that asparagus is the highest tested food containing glutathione, which is considered one of the body’s most potent anticarcinogens and antioxidants.

My Initial Experience Using LifeWave Patches

                                                                                       by Connie  at Vital Living
When I was first approached by a dear friend from Australia about the LifeWave patches I was not interested much at all.  This was mainly due to the patches sounding so simplistic andlife changing as so many products claim to be now days.   I basically told my friend to use them for a period of time and then let me know her results. She did so and kept me updated with her progress along the way.

After hearing about the changes taking place in her body, I finally e-mailed her asking to send additional information my way.  The more I researched the LifeWave patches the more I became interested in the science of this new nanotechnology that combined modern Western technology with ancient Oriental acupuncture.

At this point in my life, I had never heard of nanotechnology.  But with my vast background in holistic health, I am always open to the new products coming forth to improve our lives.  Hands down, I found the science behind these patches of significant value.  They also take the place of using a number of products to accomplish the same results, thus making them more cost effective to use.

In fact, I would go so far to say that this technology fits my belief system that ‘Life was meant to be simple and so should the products we use in our daily lives’.   In my opinion, products should be highly effective and simplistic in nature to use, ultimately assisting us in maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

Due to the high trust level I have with my friend I decided to give the patches a go and experience them for myself.  Even though I am much healthier than the average American from using great products, I still have sun damage among some age related issues that could be improved on.

Upon using the Y-Age patches, which are the basic patches that naturally detoxify, protect and repair the body, I experienced positive changes within the first week.  My brain fog cleared up and my muscles weren’t tight and sore anymore after daily yard work.  It was quite remarkable to have this happen in such a short amount of time.

I knew that heavy metals contributed to my brain fog because many years ago I came close to having mercury poisoning.  Even though I have been intermittently detoxifying the heavy metals out of my body it obviously wasn’t enough or I wouldn’t have had brain fog in the first place.  However, once you are in the fog you don’t see things clearly.  Ha!  Just after oneshort week of using the Y-Age patches I felt sharp and clear minded once again.

Nonetheless, it’s an ongoing process detoxifying harmful toxins out of the body.  The reason for this is that we are exposed to more toxins than ever before through the air that we breathe, the foods we eat, our personal care products, and our home and work environments.

As far as my muscles feeling better, the Y-Age patches helped prevent the buildup of lactic acid in the muscles.  How great is that?  Lactic acid had been a lifelong problem for me as far as I can remember.  Not anymore though.  Now I know why so many star athletes and Olympians have been using these patches.  And I must say that it feels so good to work out or do yard work and not be sore afterwards.

After the first month of usage here are some of the other positive changes I noticed:

• My hips and Psoas muscle have become both pliable and flexible.  They used to lock up from sitting in my office chair for long periods of time making it difficult to walk normal after I got out of my chair.  Now they don’t bother me at all.

• The impingement in my left shoulder blade has totally released.  It feels great now.

• My freckles have been disappearing on my face, legs and arms with my overall skin looked healthier.  Not bad for an AARP member, hey?  Personally, I love looking younger than my physical age.  It keeps people wondering…

• I sleep better than usual without waking up several times per night.  Ahh..deeper sleep.

I am very impressed with what this product has done so far. So I made a commitment to use the Y-Age patches daily for a period of three months to experience what a longer cycle may bring forth in my body and overall health.  Then I will reassess them again for further usage.

However, from my current experiences and intuitive sense, I do suspect that the patches will become part of my regular lifestyle.  After all, there is a reason they came into my life as they did.

Day by day, I can literally feel the vibrational energy flow improving through my meridians.  They feel like energy pulsating much like when you sit in a massage chair and it vibrates your body, only these vibrations are felt internally.   This too is a new experience…

I have since learned, as the meridian blocks are released, the level of vibrational energy (life waves) and information that travels throughout the body improves.  And the quantity and quality of a person’s life is in direct proportion to the vibrations of the life wave, thus greatly affecting the body’s health, vitality and longevity.  And so it is…

Alternative medicine has long been practiced around the world and Chinese herbal remedies have been around longer than most. The first work on Chinese herbal remedies, the Shennong Herbal Classic, was completed in the 5th century B.C., it is from this reference that some important herbal remedy formulas originated.

There are 3 Groups of Chinese herbal remedies. The first group is called ‘food herbs’ which are eaten as part your diet for general fortification, prevention and maintenance. The remaining two groups are called ‘medicinal herbs’ which are dispensed as individual herbal formulas based on one’s constitution, environment and medical condition.

After diagnosing a condition and having administered acupuncture treatments, a Chinese herbal remedy specialist can create a herbal formula from over a thousand common herbal formulas or from the more effective traditional family formulas.

Medicinal herbal therapy works with acupuncture by providing the nourishing support for the energetic ‘re-programming’ and ‘re-balancing’ efforts of acupuncture.

Depending on the condition being treated, when someone takes a Chinese herbal remedy, if the remedy has been mixed to be in balance with the body, little or no side effects are felt. However, this is not always the case as it does depend on the condition as well as the skill of the herbologist who has mixed the herbal remedy.

What has Western medicine to say about Chinese herbal remedies?
While there is always a degree of scepticism from the Western medical community, there have been many articles published in Western medical journals supporting the use and benefits of some Chinese herbal remedies.

One example from 1999 is a UCLA School of Medicine report that stated a natural supplement based on Chinese red-yeast-rice is highly effective in lowering cholesterol levels. In 1998 medical researchers at the University of Sydney released a report showing that Chinese herbal remedies are indeed effective in the treatment of Irritable bowel Syndrome (IBS).

Ginseng is certainly the best known and most popular of all Chinese herbal remedies. It is known as the “King” of Chinese herbs. It is true to say that with Ginseng, you get what you pay for. Some Ginseng roots can cost thousands of dollars and most consumers will not be seeking out the highest quality Ginseng. The more affordable Codonopsis Root (Dang Shen) may be substituted in most situations.

Chinese herbal remedies are typically created in carefully prepared combinations. Unless you are a specialist in Chinese herbal remedies, you may not be able to find the individual ingredients. Chinese herbal remedies are available through numerous sources, including prescriptions given out by health professionals (acupuncturists and others trained in the use of Chinese herb formulas), health food products sold in stores, and some products marketed by individuals. Also, some research on the Internet into Chinese herbal remedies does not go amiss.

As always with any type of remedy, consult with a specialist in the area (in this case, Chinese herbal remedies) to get a safe and appropriate diagnosis.

Learn the truth about foods that are good for you and your skin. 

Here are 5 great examples:

Water — Drink plenty of water — at least 6 to 8 cups a day will help keep your skin young and supple.  Make sure your water is pure, clean water not soft drinks or caffeinated.  Water both hydrates cells and helps shift toxins and allows nutrients in.

Protein — Eat Shell fish, salmon or other fatty fish, walnuts and flaxseed (oil or capsules) for the Protein and Omega-3s.  They have many other great qualities including essential fatty acids.

Green Tea — My favorite is rich in antioxidants that reduce inflammation and protect cell membranes. It is also high in polyphenols which are compounds that eliminate cancer-causing free radicals.   Green tea is also a source of vitamins C, D and K, as well as riboflavin, zinc, calcium, magnesium and iron.

Blueberries — Another fabulous favorite is the highest food source of antioxidants, which target free radicals that can cause havoc on skin cells. Blueberries are also admired for their soluble and insoluble fiber, vitamin C, manganese, vitamin E and riboflavin.

Vegetables — Carrots are an excellent source of vitamin A,  fiber, biotin, vitamins K, C and B6, potassium and thiamine.  Spinach, is full of antioxidants,as well as omega 3’s, vitamin E, B and C.  You’ll even find omega 3’s in spinach. All of these vitamins and the fatty acids are great for your skin. 

Using holistic methods to free yourself from severe skin disorders and improve the quality of your life and be the person you have hidden away inside.  No more hiding — No more Acne. Be positve, beautiful and confident. 
Be Happy with you!

Here they show a wee bit about the use of the patches:

With the new LifeWave Tecnology, clinical tests have shown an increase of blood Glutathione by over a massive 300%. These patches are excellent in removing toxins such as mercury while repairing the cells and improving the immune system.

The Carnosine Booster is a naturally occurring nutrient in our bodies whose production protects the brain from Alzheimer’s and protects our DNA. It turns old cells into young healthy cells and accelerates wound healing. Many Athelets use it for the improved performance that has been recorded. The combination of the Glutathione and Carnosine Boosters have amazed women all over the world with softer skin, reduction in sun spots and skin pigmentation. Many have found the reduction of wrinkles and fine lines giving them a youthful and fresh appearance.

Here is an interview to listen to …

So as it is called “Y-Age?” Try them and then please tell me your story.

http://SapphirePatches.com.au 

——————————————————————————–

They are called “non-transdermal” patches — the technical talk for “does not enter the body.” Another technical term that is used when discussing these patches is “Nanotechnology” – described as “manufactured products that are made from atoms.”   These patches are from Lifewave.
The Lifewave patches are a blend of water, oxygen, amino acids, sugars and organics all applied to a polyester fabric and sealed within a polymer shell resulting in the patch.  The active materials work with the electronic and magnetic fields in your body, transmitting information to your cells stimulating energy flow and improved health.
The Power of the Patch is amazing. Here is a video on You Tube that demonstrates this Power.

This is a new scientific principle or at least to me.  We never had this when I went to school.  But it is a bit like electricty to me.  I flip the switch and the lamp lights.  How this works beyond my switch I really don’t want to know as long as my lights work.
I find the same with these patches.  As long as they are working, not harming me and I feel good, I am really not interested in the scientifics.  If you are interested, there is a lot of information available for you to absorb.
Try the patches at http://sapphirepatches.com –Icewave is the one to look at for pain relief.  You will find 4 other patches but they are used for Weight Control, Sleep Improvement, Energy Booster and Looking Younger with cell generation.
