Dear Friends and Colleagues, 


Where has your Natural High Gone?

       There are people who are always happy, mentally clear, present and living an peaceful and balanced life.  Have you noticed that more and more people seem to be frazzled, frizzled and living in a fog in a frenzied speed ? Why is this? Who has turned off their brains and shut off their pleasure and joy?

       This is today's main topic and I want to  point out that you're not alone. Stress has really taken a toll on how our body communicates to each other and toxicities have added more confusion to the receptors and 

challenges to the metabolism of our hormones. In addition, modern society is not supportive in helping us slow down our brains. The brain is speeding up every second. American's are working longer hours and sleeping less. Even with all the amazing energy, emotional and mental healing help that is available, people seem to have trouble having or sustaining their natural high.

 

 

How can people sustain their natural high? In my practice I have seen people's lives regain balance, fall back in love and regain the essence of their natural high by implementing these three steps.

 

1. Detoxify and de-stress with nutrition.

2. Replace all the minerals that calm down your brain and improve your metabolism. Such as magnesium theonate, iodine, selenium, and zinc.

Determine you heavy metal load in your tissues. (Oglioscan)

3. Make sure you have juicy and healthy hormonal balance and production. Hormones are not pharmaceutical drugs. Hormones control communication in the body. Hormones are the reason we're not dead and dried up. Do not be afraid of your hormones.

 

         If you need thyroid you need to make sure it's replaced and functioning in balance. Sex hormones are the essence of life. Estrogen controls the serotonin receptor production. Estrogen is a molecule that controls happiness in women. Progesterone enhances GABA receptor sensitivity. Progesterone is the valium for your brain. Testosterone controls self esteem. People who have no self esteem tend to put others down. They don't love themselves. They need HORMONES! These are absolutely important to guarantee your natural high. Human Growth Hormone controls all organ sizes of function and gives you the sense of well being.

        People who don't feel well do weird things. Kids get involved with alcohol and drug abuse. Women develop eating disorders and shopping addiction. Men drink and gamble and chasing more toys.  They can't feel that natural high from within.  DHEA is another hormone that controls sense of well being and balances the immune system. People with auto immune disease also tend to have low DHEA.

        Adrenal fatigue is becoming a 21st century epidemic. When there's limited adrenal reserve, one's life becomes unmanageable. People can't adapt to new things, can't meet new people. These people are threatened by everything in life. They live in a cave or very close to themselves. Their comfort zone becomes minuscule.

      Did you know that joy is an emotion that is best experienced when sharing with others.

      All of these are called 'the natural highs'. We have disappearing joy in America because of our stressful, over-working mentality coupled with hormonal decline and a toxic environment. Is this how you want to spend your life or do you want to feel high again?
  

With infinite love and gratitude

Testimonial of the Month



          
         
        I had been diagnosed with Systemic Lupus in 1993. At that time, my future was looking pretty bleak. Basically the sun was my enemy and being outside was not a choice for me. I was tired all the time and all my joints ached. I was told and thought that my only option for a 'healthy' life was to be put on steroids. A very good friend of mine told me about Dr. Lu.
          She suggested that I attend a lecture by Dr. Lu in our town. Both my husband and I attended not only that lecture, but as many as we could find that featured Dr. Lu!! Her lectures were crammed with information and insight as to the current understandings of how the body works and the effects of living in a toxic society. After one of these lectures, I approached Dr. Lu and told her I have Lupus and thyroid problems and asked if she could help me. She smiled her beautiful smile and said yes she could help me!
      So I met with Dr. Lu and she explained what results she was looking for and what I had to do. She listened to me, and together we adopted a 'get well' program for me using the Orenda products. At first I was very skeptical. The program she wanted to establish was one of nutrition and supplements from Orenda. She would take lab work and explain to me the lab results. Each time the lab results showed improvements!        However, I was still fearful of the sun. Then one afternoon I happened to be outside and noticed that I did not react to the sun.......I thought, "Wow! I can play in the sun again!!" I did not have the reactions as I did before; no achy joints and my energy level increased.
      Now, my Lupus is 'in remission'and I feel great!! Thanks to Dr. Lu and Orenda I have my life back! I no longer am afraid of the sun! Taking Orenda is a way of life, and what a wonderful life it is!!!...
      I am also on the Wiley Protocol. Wow...what a difference the protocol has made for me! Life is so much better with Wiley BHRT. Dr. Lu strongly suggested that I go on BHRT and trusting her, I took this step. I haven't looked back...the benefits are so worthwhile.
     Again, thanks to Dr. Lu my life is 'back on track' and I am enjoying my retirement to the fullest!
     My husband, Art, is also on Wiley for testosterone replacement and on Orenda products. He says he feels much better both physically and mentally. He has developed an enthusiasm for weight lifting and walking. Life is good!!!
      Thank you Dr. Lu...I am so thankful that we met you.
