 EMOTIONAL DISEASE
The most destructive force with regard to human health and well being is the low vibrational emotion of fear. All emotions that result from a fear base keep the body in a state of emotional imbalance that stops us from "thinking straight" and makes it more difficult to connect our awareness to what is beyond our limited five-sense-only reality. Connecting to consciousness becomes virtually impossible when we are locked into the vibrational resonance of a fear based thought. The most debilitating human emotion is fear and it can be so powerful that one can literally be "frozen in fear", or "petrified".
Did you ever stop and consider how fear underlies most of our everyday cares and concerns? "I am afraid I do not have enough money" " I am afraid I can't forgive you, because I fear that would condone your behavior" "I fear I am not good enough, smart enough, old enough or young enough" "I fear you may not like me if you really knew me" "I am afraid that I cannot let go of my guilt and forgive myself" "I fear that I may be unlovable" "I fear something bad might happen" "I can't expect good things to come to me because I fear I am not lucky enough" "I cannot speak my truth to you because I fear it might upset you" "I must put your needs before my own, otherwise I fear that I would be considered selfish....." It goes on and on.
The word emotion means to "stop movement" and all imbalanced emotion affects the speed and efficiency of the body's communication systems by suppressing "movement" which is the exchange of information between brain, organs, and cells. Thus our fear based emotion can be a major contributor of dis-ease, or illness in the body. When we feel fear based emotion either on-going or as a sudden reaction it take the form of an electrical charge that we can actually feel. This affects the energetic balance of the body which then affects the chemicals in the body (i.e stress hormone production that contribute to flight or fight response) which over time weaken the immune system and thus create a body symptom. The stress response is there for survival and is good for the short term only. If we are frequently in stress mode, our immune system weakens and we invite in illness.
Western medicine believes that we are chemicals and treats illnesses with chemicals. Energy imbalances are left out of the equation. Thus if the root cause of the problem is never addressed, the energetic imbalance will continue and more problems will ensue. Eastern medicine believes that we are energy and treats the imbalances in our system by balancing and restoring our energy. Western approaches may sometimes "hit the nail on the head" but if it is as is commonly believed that much of today's illness has an emotional component, it is only a matter of time for another "problem" to appear.
My Wellness Nurse Health Counseling is a holistic approach to helping you return to balance in body mind and spirit. In addition to my solid nursing background, and my knowledge of holistic nutrition, I also utilize several energy balancing approaches including EFT and Reconnective Healing.

 THE CALCIUM LIE
We all need to take calcium supplements, right? Isn't calcium essential for building strong bones? Everyone is told by not only their doctor, but by major advertising campaigns (got milk?) that we need to take our calcium mostly in the form of supplements. Marching to the calcium beat however may not be a wise decision. In his book "The Calcium Lie" Dr. Robert Thompson exposes the truth about calcium supplementation. Contrary to the popular belief that everyone needs to supplement with calcium, having too much calcium and not enough minerals leads to obesity, diabetes, hardening of the arteries, hypertension, osteoporosis, gallstones, kidney stones, depression, migraines and even hypothyroidism. Do you know how cement is hardened? By the addition of calcium! Many problems today like kidney and gallstones, bone spurs and even and breast lumps are "calcium deposits". Are we unknowingly "hardening" or cementing our bodies because of what our doctors don't know?
72% of our body is water and the remaining 28% are minerals. Our bones are made of calcium indeed, but 11 other minerals (potassium, magnesium, manganese, silica, iron, zinc, selenia, boron, phosphorus, sulfur and chromium) as well. Healthy and strong bones require all of the minerals... in balance. Too much calcium and not enough minerals is a major contributor of much of today's modern and chronic disease. Before 1876 and the advent of refrigeration, meats and other foods were preserved with mineral rich sea salt and rock salt both of which contained over 70 minerals. Our pretty and free flowing over-processed and stripped white table salt contains only 2, sodium and chloride. (I have written about how detrimental to health table salt is and recommend that you replace table salt with Celtic or Himalayan Sea Salt). The move from organic fertilizers to purely chemical ones further depleted the minerals in today's soil. Our Standard American Diet (SAD), includes food grown in mineral depleted soil which now contains only 3 of the 55 minerals it once contained. Minerals are a vital element in maintaining health and balance.
There is a lot of important information in this book so I would highly recommend getting a copy and reading it yourself. You can also visit www.thecalciumlie.com and start to educate yourself to the truth about calcium supplements there. And please
click on the link for Sea Aloe which not only contains all the vitamins
and essential amino acids, but all of the minerals that support health as well. Sea Aloe is derived strictly from whole food sources so there is absolutely nothing synthetic in it.

 GARLIC: A GLOBAL REMEDY
Way back before pharmaceuticals ruled, food was regarded as a remedy for illness and in some parts of the world remains so today. 4000 years ago Hippocrates the Father or Medicine is quoted as saying, "Let food be thy medicine and let medicine be thy food." Although we have strayed far away from the concept of food healing us it is a good thing to remember that there are amazing foods out there that are readily available to us that have natural health promoting properties. Food can be an inexpensive ways to improve our health and won't cause side effects. In searching for a super food that is endorsed for it's benefits, I came across many to choose from. However I believe that the healing properties of garlic far outweigh the rest. The world's oldest medical text, the Egyptian Ebers Papyrus mentions garlic repeatedly. It was fed to slaves and soldiers to in the ancient world to keep them healthy. It's been used to fuel the fighting spirit (ancient Greeks) treat toothache and chest pain (Hippocrates).
There have been over 1,200 pharmacological studies done on garlic that demonstrate that garlic is lipid-lowering, antithrombotic, antimicrobial, antiviral and antiparasitic. Garlic is now accepted in traditional allopathic medicine. The Journal of the Royal College of Physicians published a meta-analysis that demonstrated garlic supplements lowered total serum cholesterol levels by 12% after only four weeks of treatment. LDL (lousy) levels were reduced and HDL(happy) levels were raise by up to 22%. Garlic lowers triglyceride levels by 17%. It can reduce plaque and has significant antiplatelet activity. That means that it can help platelets not stick together and this is important because heart attacks and strokes are believed to be caused by spontaneous clots that result from oxidized plaque breaking free in the blood vessel.
If you can add garlic to your daily regimen, try and eat it fresh, but it must be crushed or chopped to release its full potential. This is how the allicin is released and it's the allicin that has the healing benefit. If you would rather take a garlic supplement go for a high quality one like Kyolic Aged Garlic or Allicin-C. If you want to stay healthy this winter garlic is a no brainer.

 It is my passion and desire to contribute to the betterment of the world by spreading the message that a state of well being is for everyone. No matter how old you are, or what stage you are in, or what you have been through, I believe that you can find your way back to the Wholeness that was always your birthright. We are born magnificent beings but get conditioned into mediocrity. It is up to you to pick up the map to find your way back. And I'll help you anyway I can. "If you want to know the quality of what you radiate, just observe how people respond to you. They are your mirror." Gary Craig.
Have a great month!
