What is wrong with your medication? Over 125,000 Americans die each year from properly prescribed medications

“About 2,460 people per week are estimated to die from drugs that were properly prescribed, and that’s based on detailed chart reviews of hospitalized patients,” says Light, who is a professor of comparative health policy at Rowan University School of Osteopathic Medicine in Stafford, New Jersey. That does not include overdoses or using prescribed drugs unintended, that is PROPERLY PRESCRIBED, meaning you used it the way your Dr. told you to.

Humans have been referring to plants for assistance with dis-ease within the body for thousands of years, since there were humans and plants. Many medications today are derived from some molecule in the plant kingdom that they tried to duplicate in the lab because they recognize the potential benefits of those plant compounds.

Why not just use the plant? you ask…you cannot patent a plant and charge alot of money for the medicine derived from it because you didn’t create the plant. If you can duplicate that molecule in the lab, you can patent it, say it works for such and such diseases and make bank on any individual suffering from such and such disease.

Dangers of Prescriptions

Many people say, ‘ we are living longer today than we ever did & that is thanks to the breakthroughs in modern medicine with all of their procedures and new medications!’ Which sounds good unless you do the research and find that most of the medications side effects can cause so much damage and wreak so much havoc on your body that you can actually die! The FDA does not have your back, so don’t think for a second, ‘well those drugs are regulated.’             Check out these links for more info about it:

FDA’s Drug Safety System Fails to Protect Public

Arthritis Drug Kills People

All of their medications have adverse effects on the body by stopping the bodies natural reactions to try and restore balance in the system. Many of them cause nausea because your body is trying to rid itself of the toxic substance you just put in it. Many of them block your body from producing melatonin which is necessary for your optimum sleep processes. Some of them block cholesterol, which is your bodies natural anti-inflammatory agent, your body produces it to patch damage in your arteries, if you have too much, curbing your diet is one way to reduce your cholesterol, not by trying to keep it lower with medication and continuing to eat foods that are causing inflammation and damage triggering your cholesterol, fever reducers-your body is doing its job trying to burn out an invader, after our bodies break a sweat with a fever, that sweat has natural antibacterial, antibiotic properties to it that can kill staph! Let your body do it’s job.

On a molecular level, our bodies can only process that which comes from the natural world. Our bodies were not made to process all of the chemicals, vaccines and medications we inject into it. It has nowhere to go, it sits somewhere, causes inflammation and some disease.

Whatever medication you are on, there is a plant that can do it better! Get off of your medications! Take back your health, don’t just stop taking your prescription by any means, many of them cause more adverse effects if you discontinue use without tapering it off. If your issue is high blood pressure, there are plants for that, thyroid dysfunction, there are plants for that, cancer, there are plants for that-no matter what kind it is, heart disease, there are plants for that, diabetes, there are plants for that, neurological disorders, there are plants for that, pain, etc. Take your body back from Big Pharma, tell them where to go, don’t do it yourself, and don’t do it all at once. But find a doctor you trust, ask them about natural alternatives to their medications, if they don’t know, research it yourself, find a Dr. you trust that has dealt with your condition before and feels confident about helping you switch over to a more natural, healthy, immune building way that will keep you out of the hospital, off of oxygen and enable you to have a better quality of life. If you have done your research correctly, they should mention some of the plants or supplements that you found in your search.

Even though it seems ok, now, at some point your body can take no more, find a better alternative, now, before you get to that point. Just remember, do it safely, under a Dr.s advice, if you end up killing yourself, you might as well of stayed on their medications! So do it responsibly, do it for yourself and do it now, enjoy the health and vitality that you deserve and that you were put here to enjoy!

Why Juice Is All That…

On Oct 5th, my 81 yr  old mother had a heart attack that included a blood clot that went partly to her brain, disabling her right arm. She could still move it, awkwardly, not like it was part of her, some communication seemed to be lacking between the brain and the hand, whether is was neurological, muscular or skeletal in origin, I’m not really sure. But she just couldn’t turn her wrist, like to feed herself. She had to lean way over to her hand and couldn’t hold the utensil at all, half the time she held it upside down & the food would fall off. I would always wonder why it was easier to hold it upside down, instead of the right way, but was just glad that she was trying to use it.

I went right to the closest health food store & started diffusing frankincense oil & lemon eucalyptus. The first 3 days after the heart attack, she didn’t use it at all. I kept asking her about it, because nurses would ask her if she’s lefty.  ‘Can you grip the walker with both hands, Mom?’ I’d ask her, ‘Yup,’ she’d say, but wouldn’t do it, no matter how much I encouraged her to squeeze with that hand, she wouldn’t although agreeing with me the whole time that she would. I was like, ‘do you try and you can’t or how does it feel?’ she said, ‘It feels weak & like I can’t get it to move the way I want, I can’t bend or twist my wrist.’ But she could squeeze it if she tried real hard.

She also had kidney failure with the heart attack, so her kidneys are weak & they are watching them closely. On the 10th, she started having a really bad pain her foot, right in the middle of it. I looked in my Clinical Kinesiology book & found that it was right on her kidney meridian, imagine that?! So, I did Accupressure on it & every other point of her body that I could reach. The next day, I went & got a juicer & made her some fresh, organic, veggie juice, which she drank half of a cup of. I went and ran errands, when I came back, she flexed her wrist all around to show me how great it was & told me how she fed herself, did not spill anything, which hadn’t happened since she woke up & started trying to feed herself!

The power of vital nutrients that the body needs are components necessary for cellular regeneration after any disease. The body can assimilate the nutrients found in nature. In the hospital setting, all they are doing is pumping you or a loved one full of medication! Some might be necessary, all have side effects and are foreign to the body. Our bodies get an instant shot of nutrition burst into the bloodstream when we drink fresh juice. Like nothing else, vitamins in a capsule are good, but if you can get it straight from the plant, there’s nothing better. You can get everything and more than what your body needs for a day in one cup of delicious juice. Sooo many diseases today stem from poor nutrition & toxic food, either genetically modified, microwaved, processed….it’s the SAD diet~

Standard American Diet.

In trying to help my mom, I realized, they weren’t going to let me give her all of the necessary vitamins that I bought at the health food store, you know, they get all freaked out about any pills that might not have any adverse side effects. I told the Dr. I was concerned about her nutritional requirements, so he ordered a multivitamin. I researched the vitamin he prescribed for her & found it caused, tightness in the chest, shortness of breath, nausea, swelling of the face, lips, hands, feet, etc. This is the vitamin they are giving her!! So that’s when I realized, I will go buy a juicer & blender & make her fresh juice & smoothies everyday, what can they say about that? And you would not believe how much she has improved! They talked to her about not being able to live alone again on to just going into rehab, to maybe not even needing rehab! They told her they were concerned about her kidneys, the Dr. said today, your kidneys have started to improve over the last couple of days….she’s been drinking juice over the last couple of days!

Make no mistake, you can do this too, it’s not magic, it’s nature, as intended, unadulterated, if you have a sick loved one, don’t leave them to the Dr.s, unless it’s cancer, (depending on the treatment, some cannot drink juice at certain times) bring them organic juice! And bring them organic smoothies, you will see how quickly they improve! A dose is an 8 oz cup, my mom has even been drinking Sprite & coffee, so it’s not like she changed everything, she is still on a ton of medication, not eating all that she should, but you know what, she is still getting better…

and that is why JUICE IS ALL THAT   🙂

 

 

Why is inflammation so bad?

Anyone who has inflammation can tell you why it’s so bad, generally, it hurts, it’s uncomfortable and prolonged inflammation can actually even trigger cancer. Inflammation can be caused by a number of factors and can occur in many places all over the body. Luckily, we have plant medicine, all over the world, no matter where we are, the plants growing around us have anti-inflammatory properties. That is the beauty of herbs and essential oils! This could explain why so many plants have similar properties because they are needed all over the world. So, if you are not fortunate enough to have a Boswellia tree growing near you to extract Frankincense from, it’s ok because you probably have oregano or sage or turmeric, etc.

A few common health problems that are linked back to inflammation range from cancer and heart disease to diabetes and obesity. Our diet is a huge factor, since GMO’s have been introduced into the diet, America has just gotten sicker and sicker, we have the best medicine available everyone says, yet we are the sickest country….

GMO’s cause inflammation, our body doesn’t recognize them as food, so there is no way to process it. Our bodies function meticulously, perfectly in infinite harmony with each body system, unless we eat genetically modified organisms, none of the systems in your body know what to do with it. Molecularly, it doesn’t match anything in Nature that our bodies know how to digest. So, each system is like,’ I’m not taking it, you take it,’ and so on, kinda like hot potato, ’til it ends up just sitting somewhere causing inflammation. This is a vicious cycle that goes on every time you eat, if you are not eating organic food. EVERY time, you know how stressful that gets for your body?

Stress can cause inflammation….Ofcourse, inflammation is caused by other factors, but for the sake of this blog, we are sticking to one subject. Inflammation damages your cells and arterial walls and can cause high blood pressure, high cholesterol, joint pain, arthritis, digestive disorders, etc.  Every day the choices we are making are either causing inflammation or reducing inflammation….think about that….especially if you are trying to cure, prevent or rid your body of disease. So think about that, the next time you go to eat something, is this going to cause inflammation or is it going to reduce it?

By simply adding spices to our food and eating an organic diet, we can minimize inflammation. Many of our household spices contain anti-inflammatory properties, such as ginger, turmeric, rosemary, cloves, cinnamon, oregano, thyme, etc. Seaweed also has awesome anti-inflammatory properties, an ancient Chinese text says, ‘There is no swelling that Seaweed cannot relieve.’ There are different kinds of seaweed available for cooking in shaker containers, such as Dulse or Kelp Granules. Just shake it on everything you eat. Many fruits and vegetables actually have anti-inflammatory properties to them as well. Make sure you eat lots of fruits and veggies and remember before you take a bite~is this going to cause inflammation or reduce it….Print

Why Natural Health?

Plant based medicine has been around forever, people have turned to the plants around them for support, nourishment and overall health because that’s what was available. There wasn’t options for a plethora of pharmaceutical drugs at their disposal with an immense amount of side effects to them, some even including death. And I even bet that if you communicated with a prehistoric person that there was an option available that could kill them or do unnecessary damage to their internal organs, they would opt out.

But there just isn’t the awareness necessary for the Plant Based Medicine Approach to undergo the drastic change that is called for at this time, YET…  This is precisely why their are so many ‘Health Rangers’ out there trying to shake everybody up & show them the truth about the medicines that they are taking, the foods that they are eating, the vaccines they are injecting in their bodies, the personal care products that are being applied to the skin everyday and what kinds of chemicals they are using in their homes.

One of my favorites is Mike Adams, he actually calls himself, ‘The Health Ranger.’  I am including a link to his website because he is sooo smart & easy to learn from, and funny, too!

If we have a strong immune system which can be built up with herbs, essential oils, homeopathics, all stemming from Plant Based Medicine, we will be able to fight most pathogens we are exposed to. By limiting our exposure to toxic chemicals & compounds in our everyday life, as often as possible, we can ensure healthy immune function. By supporting our bodies with holistic health practices that incorporate healing the body, mind & spirit, we can minimize the occurrence or reoccurence of disease.

Having no known side effects, plants support healthy functions of many body systems without the risk of damaging other organs or systems. Many plants have adaptogen properties to them meaning that they find the necessary repairs to make within your body. They just know what you need and target the area where relief is required.

Talk about Infinite Intelligence!

What’s all the hype about CBD’s?

IMG_0709 (6)
Organic CBD Oil Pain Relief Sprays & Anti-Aging Serum

Ever hear of your endocrine system? Well, we have an Endocannabinoid system in our body, which means that our cells actually have receptors on them to receive from the cannabis plant! Cannabadiol is the active ingredient in CBD oils, our bodies produce cannabinoids, but not as much as we’d like, that is why when we use CBD oil, we feel so good, because it resonates with our body on a cellular level. We have CB1 and CB2 receptors throughout our bodies that regulate many body functions which is why we can benefit from CBD’s for just about everything from Insomnia, Pain, Anxiety, Depression, Skin disorders, etc. What does it mean that our cells have receptors on them? It’s similar to a lock and key system. Mother Nature in her infinite intelligence created the cannabis plant to fit us perfectly, who knew? The many health benefits known to date are too many to mention in this blog. I have created a pinterest board, with many resources I encourage you to research if you feel so inclined. We’re just skimmin’ the surface, here, trying to keep it short….

While CBD does come from the Cannabis/Hemp plant, it is not psychoactive, there is no THC in Cannabadiol, which is the psychoactive component in Marijuana. Although, there is a synergistic effect when THC & CBD’s are combined known as the Entourage Effect, which is much more beneficial, CBD oil sold in the US should only contain no more than .03%  THC. So, if you are worried about ingesting it or using it topically, worry no more, you will not get stoned from CBD oil.

CBD’s can help restore elasticity in our skin to prevent sagging skin, can even out skin tone, minimize large pores, restore a healthful glow, regulate sebum production in skin to prevent dry, flaky skin or oily skin. Full of anti-oxidants to help our bodies repair the damage from harmful free radicals in our environment. Restore skin cells, rejuvenates your skin, the list goes on, who doesn’t need all that? Talk about an anti-aging miracle?

Now, how can you use CBD oil?

You can ingest it, as an adaptogen, it finds the issues in your body and corrects them, how perfect is that? Being anti-inflammatory,  you can bypass the digestive tract & target specific body parts, topical application works well for that, when applied on the thin skin by your wrists, temples, etc. Transdermal application ensures speedy absorption for quick relief from pain. Target the source of your discomfort. You can apply CBD pain relief sprays, ointments, salves, etc. directly on the affected area for desired relief.

Where to purchase CBD oil?

Because growing hemp in the US is new, there are not many or enough regulations on the farming practices involved in hemp & CBD oil production. There is no regulatory body certifying organic hemp in the United States, currently. I would recommend acquiring it from Europe, Denmark preferably, that’s where I get mine from. They have been growing organic hemp for many years, good hemp and are known for their strict standards being one of the cleanest countries.  Unless you know your grower and you see their farm & know their practices. Like any other medicine, you want to make sure it’s pure & organic so you get the most out of it.

So, there you have it, a little CBD summary, hope you enjoyed it & understand a little more why they are the rage, right now. You could probably use some too, couldn’t you? CBD Products~

I Call Bullshit!

So, we’re in the process of looking for a new Dr. because ours left family practice. We ended up with this ‘Dr.’ who actually tapped her fingers while my husband was talking. Yup! And while he was releasing alot of emotion about how the thought of death always lingers at the back of your mind once they tell you that you are going to die and that their cure for you only has a 35% chance & that you only have a 35% chance of living 5 years out, she actually responded with ‘Noone’s getting out of here alive.’ Okay, if that’s all your doctor can come up with, how compassionate can you expect them to be? While my husband unloaded a flood of emotion, she kept opening her mouth trying to interrupt him and seriously, rolled her eyes at her defeated effort to interrupt him. She kept darting her eyes and lifting her eyebrows, I mean it was sooo offensive, disrespectful, downright rude!! She actually said, ‘We have no idea why good people get disease’, she told Ig, he has no control over his disease, that it has nothing to do with the choices he’s made in his life, and that coffee has gotten the slip of acceptance, now, that they are finding out that coffee drinkers live longer, when Ig told her how he stopped drinking coffee because he learned how much it dehydrates you, ‘ha ha’, she laughed, ‘that has nothing to do with it!’ How could someone in the medical profession be so naive? We don’t know why good people get disease?! We know all kinds of reasons why people get cancer and a whole myriad of disease, alot of them relating back to GMO’s and the inflammation they cause in your system. Not to mention if you are rubbing toxic chemicals on your skin, which is your largest organ, absorbing 60% of whatever you apply to it. How about EMF’s & Cell phones linked to brain cancer? Is she kidding? How is she supposed to give you any helpful advice if she doesn’t even have a clue where disease begins? This is what people are left with, if this is what your doctor is like, find another one! Find one that can tell you how to sustain & nourish your body, one who looks at what might have caused your disease or discomfort, one who knows about Epigenetics, and if you can’t find one in the conventional medical system, find one that will work with your conventional doctor. They are out there. If you choose conventional therapies, herbs can ameliorate many of the symptoms they cause. They are working for you, empower yourself, step up, don’t be afraid of their white coat, speak for yourself. This is the beginning of your healing journey & it begins with being your own best advocate!

Free Your Mind

Meditate daily, fill your body with white light, commune with Source, whatever your Religion or Spiritual beliefs, connect with it everyday & let it fill you with hope, guidance & love. When Iggy was battling cancer, we meditated every morning to mentally prepare us for the day & every evening to clear any negativity or regrets or anything that built up over the day. So, we left it behind us instead of carrying it over into the next day. Every cell in our body has an electrical current running through it, in this way, we each are vibrating at our own frequency. By connecting with Source & Daily Meditation, we can actually raise our vibration. Listening to music you enjoy can also raise your vibration. Thinking negative thoughts can actually lower your vibration, disease can thrive within a lower frequency. Try to keep your vibration high, it will only make you feel better & keep you healthier. When you are stressed out, your body releases a stress hormone called, ‘cortisol’…this hormone is responsible for a myriad of negative effects on the human body..that can trigger & cause disease…(dis~ease), so keep it light!     my buddha picture

Square One

When Iggy was sick last year, I was desperate to learn whatever I could about his disease, alternative treatments, his immune system, etc. It was just about one year ago today that someone told me about The Truth About Cancer. It was a life changing day, no seriously, it was, in a big way! He had been undergoing chemo for 2 months, they only gave him a 35% chance of curing it. I was giving him all kinds of herbs, teas, supplements, vitamins, enzymes, mushrooms, juices, smoothies, etc. He was seriously popping something in his mouth that boosted his immune system every like half an hour or something. I didn’t want to overlap the essences of potent benefits each plant possessed by giving him too many at one time, I wasn’t sure how they would all work together & how it would all play out. I wasn’t aware of the synergistic qualities that herbs possess to unite with each other. I knew about herbs & had used them successfully for years, but I had never treated cancer before & I felt like it was all new.

The Truth About Cancer is free on Youtube & I seriously recommend it for anyone battling cancer or any cancer survivors or anyone who loves anyone with a cancer diagnosis. There are nine episodes, I bought them all. I’m just like that, if there is any information that I can get my hands on that could save my husband’s life & it’s all scientifically based, research backed, tried & true, proven medicine, I’d be crazy not to at the stage in my life I was in. I was hungry for knowledge, I couldn’t get enough. I stayed up long hours, into the night, researching, checking sources, etc. The more I read, the more I knew, ‘we got this.’ So glad that Iggy had utter & complete faith in me!

So, as a result of my quest for knowledge, I purchased (and still do) any seminars by Dr’s, or cancer survivors instilling the qualities & benefits of plant medicine. I have many hours that I have studied and many more to study…I receive emails constantly from amazing Dr.s curing cancer all over the world, sharing their knowledge, experience, expertise, case studies, etc.

Today, I received one that I am excited to share with you from Chris Work, it’s a 10 part Video Series in which he shares how he beat cancer. He is trying to reach 1 million people with his message of curing cancer naturally without conventional treatments.

He is offering this free in the month of September!!

What is ImmunoTherapy?

This is the post excerpt.

ImmunoTherapy consists of building the immune system in every way possible to fight, prevent & treat disease. By removing immune compromising lifestyle choices & replacing them with pure, organic immune building components found in nature, damaged cells can actually be rebuilt & repaired, even. The same genes that turn on cancer are the same genes that turn off cancer, when given micronutrients found in fresh, organic, raw veggie juice. Juicing everyday is essential when battling any kind of disease and really so many people are vitamin deficient these days that everyone should be juicing.

What are Immune Compromising Lifestyle Choices?

Well, to name a few~

*Diet~https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7sUNxX0OxP8

*Microwaves~http://www.herbalhealer.com/microwave.html

*Technology

*Environment

*Skin & Bodycare Products~http://www.naturesmysteries.net/Toxins-Skin-Care/

Some we can have control over & can change…some…not so much.

Which is all the more reason to make the necessary changes where you can… because there are some choices we make that are unavoidable, like getting in a car everyday, not much choice there. But do you have to choose to drink something that will take the paint off of a car? is the question….

If we look at each of those very briefly~

*Diet~the American diet is actually disease causing, between the GMO’s that are not even allowed in other countries, high fructose corn syrup, sugar, soda, etc….did you know that one can of c0kE can shut down 1/2 of your immune system for 4 hours?!!! As a cancer patient you definitely cannot afford that…and that’s just one thing you are consuming, not to mention everything you else eat all day long.

*Microwaves~when food is cooked in a microwave, it actually changes the cells within the food into carcinogens…aka cancer causing! How can it be called food if it causes cancer, food is supposed to nourish the body…sustain life.

*Technology~the amount of time spent with your device in your hand, on your person, or near your head while your sleeping is enough to cause cancer. They are now teaching students from fourth grade through college that cell phones cause cancer & that you should not sleep with them within 4 feet of your bed!

*Environment~depending on where we live, we could be drinking polluted water…chlorinated, fluoridated water, etc. We can be breathing toxic pollution from factories nearby, exhaust, perfumes, bleach, cleaning products, etc.

*Skincare Choices~our skin is our largest organ, absorbing 60% of what we put on it. Most products sold contain toxic, cancer causing chemicals because there are no regulations on bodycare products in the US at this time. Even products labeled organic & natural, sold in health food stores & co-ops, can still contain these chemicals.

I compiled a booklet that I give to my customers that details the toxins used in bodycare products, their derivative & what part of your body they affect, so consumers can take it home. Look in your medicine chest, see if these toxic chemicals are lurking in your own home & throw them out! If not & you choose to give yourself cancer, at least you are making an educated decision. Noone is here to protect us, we need to educate ourselves~Here is a link to that information~http://www.naturesmysteries.net/Toxins-Skin-Care/

We see that many of the choices we make in a day can compromise our immune system. If we are not immune compromised, we might not even notice. But if we are, these should be avoided at all costs. Our immune system has to be what cures us, not medication.
