The Change of Life

My first “change of life” experience was the fall of 1994 sitting in the car  with my husband. The rush of heat startled me because I had never experienced that kind of sensation before. I felt a sense of  panic and my first thought  I must be dying. There was no warning like the gradual increase of temperature on a thermostat, I felt intense heat  over my body all at once.  I was totally consumed by the unfamiliar sensation and overwhelmed at the same time by the powerlessness of it.  Sweat started pouring from the top of my head and in a few moments I was wringing wet.  I looked around to see if the car was suddenly on fire, but no because my husband sat there cool as a cucumber.   I told him that I felt like Wile E. Coyote after igniting a bomb he ordered from Acme. The mere sound of his laughter , immediately sent me into rage mode.  I told him that it was in no way funny and if he continued laughing he may very well be putting his life in jeopardy!

After what seemed like an eternity, I was finally able to ask myself what could this possibly be?  The first thing I thought was maybe I had some dreaded ebola virus or could it possibly be the onset of the never talked about  menopausal “hot flash“. In either case I felt betrayed, I was far too young for this, wasn‘t this suppose to be a gradual thing or a sign posted somewhere?    A few moments later the second round of volcanic heat struck  gradually at first until I registered  lava level.  I prayed in a loud voice “if this is what I have to live with - take me now Lord”.  I had always been the type to be in control  of most situations, but I knew from the onset that this was a battle I could not win.  Little did I know the battle had just begun. At bedtime I experienced night sweats that had me tossing and turning, pulling sheets on and then kicking them  off,.  I changed sheets, laid down towels, tossed and turned some more, screamed cried and prayed for relief.  In the morning I looked in the mirror at an unrecognizable face who looked as though they had been on a two week binge. I believe in the power of prayer and silently asked for relief, a treatment cure, or euthanasia.

For over 16 years I had been a student,  advocate and teacher of natural healing. I personally adopted a lifestyle of  being a vegetarian and then vegan.  I also knew the  body has the innate ability to heal itself with the proper fuel.  Within a few days  the phone rang and on the other end of the line was a wonderful woman who said she had some  liquid minerals she wanted me to try.  Along with the package she sent information about chemicals in cosmetics and their side effects, including a  cassette tape by Dr. Joel Wallach. Dr, Wallach says that every disease is related to a mineral deficiency.

The first step was reducing and eliminating the contaminants contributing to my inner environment.  I made sure that everything I put on my body and in my body was free from the list of dyes, solvents, petroleums, urea, propolyne glycol, sodium laurel sulphate, coal tars and other poly-syllabic words.  I decided that if I could not eat it , I would not wear it. Even  though our skin looks solid it is porous and absorbs like a sponge.  Anything put on the skin  is not filtered by the liver and is delivered right into the blood stream.  Today I teach women how to make their cosmetics in the kitchen.

After three days of  taking the minerals, colon detoxification, and saturating my body with purified water my symptoms subsided and then completely left, I recommended the program and  minerals to my clients who expressed the same results.  Two years later  free from symptoms, I watched  a news report claiming that anyone who takes minerals may as well be drinking water and would just end up with   expensive urine.  For years I have  used my body as a testing ground and  laboratory. I stopped taking the minerals just to see if the they were indeed  some sort of placebo effect.  After exactly two and a half months later the flashes, sweating, irritability and  Tasmanian devil with lipstick reappeared.  I started the minerals again and  after three days symptoms disappeared.

  

These are the guidelines that I followed:

1. Listen to your body and pay attention. Monitor how you  feel after drinking and eating.
2. Eliminate loading cosmetics, perfumes, sprays and chemicals directly on your body.
3. Cleanse and detoxify seasonally with the help of a trained professional.
4. Research has shown negative emotion and “stinkin-thinkin” impacts the body’s ph levels.
5. Reduce or eliminate white refined sugar and bleached flour products.
6. Check your dairy intake, especially if you are lactose intolerant.
7. Exercise, and sweat! Your skin is the largest eliminative organ.
8. Thoughts become things - you get what you expect. Aging can be the best time of your life!
9. Meditate and relax daily. Stress may cause your body to be in a state of “dis-ease”.
10. You are what you eat, you are what they ate. Enough said!
11. Choose organic over conventional.  Many fruits an vegetables have pesticides, insecticides, and waxes    on them.
12. .Read books, watch DVDs  and materials that support a healthy lifestyle, 
13.  Live, Laugh, Love - Your immune system will love you for it!

Victory of Da Feet: Foot Reflexology

Toxins accumulate in our bodies during day to day activities. These toxins can block the body’s natural functions, including disease prevention and the distribution of nutrients. A time tested therapy called the ionic foot detoxification system can help remove these toxins from the body and allow the amazing immune system to perform at its highest potential.

When energy is flowing properly substances required to sustain life such as oxygen, water and nutrients can more easily reach cells where they are needed.  Our feet are important to our health and well being because they support us both internally and externally. As soon as we were able to stand up and take as few steps, we were off and running or walking  to our varied destinations.

Have you ever noticed that when the feet hurt after miles of use and abuse, our entire body feels the impact?  Every organ in the body has meridians or pathways to the feet. For centuries eastern medicine has used reflexology (pressure point therapy)  to treat many disorders within the body.  If you have ever had the opportunity of getting a foot massage, a soothing pedicure or slip on  a comfortable pair of slippers, you have experienced relief and an “aaah” moment.

check out my video below of an appearance I did on a local cable show in Michigan...

The foot detoxification system works by simply immersing your feet in the foot tub for about 30 minutes  while the machine helps invigorate, re-condition and synchronize the body’s natural   flow.  Its primary functions is to activate the cells and improve the metabolism of all the organs. During the treatment you will  experience feelings of  peace and relaxation as the body detoxifies safely at its own pace by eliminating excess waste. You will be astounded and curious as the water changes from clear to lightly colored and then to darker shades. The color change can vary from person to person and from treatment to treatment.
Some of the benefits are:

• Healthy weight loss by increasing your metabolism and fat burning mechanisms.
• More energy and clearer thinking by boosting your well being and having a lighter feeling.
• Restore and gain health, by creating a stronger immune system, fewer aches and pains.
• Unburden your body of  herbicides, pesticides, colorings, additives preservatives and chemicals.
• Slow the aging process by increasing cell regeneration,  digestive effectiveness, then rejuvenation can occur with less toxins.

Receive relief of discomfort from allergies, flu like symptoms, and fatigue. Give your feet some love - it is a “sole-full” experience!

Can You Hear Me Now? The Herbal Ear Coning Process

Ear coning has been used by ancient cultures for thousands of years, and is now recently expanding into our western culture.  Acupuncture charts demonstrate how the ears coordinate with the organs in the body.

The cone works by setting the large end on fire, and then placing the small end of the cone to the mouth of the ear canal, which creates a seal.  Vapors of smoke with herbs travel into the ear, warming up the pores in the canal, softening the wax.  The fire creates a vacuum, which pulls infection, debris and ear wax into the cone reducing problems of the body in a natural way.  People claim to hear sounds similar to frying or rice krispies in milk. 

Me preforming ear candling on a client

Ear coning is a very relaxing process, which allows the body, mind and soul to feel nurtured and relaxed.  Some conditions within the ears are candida, and parasites, which stem from the liver and kidneys, creating infestations.  Ear coning may alleviate this kind of stress from the ears such as headaches, itching, deafness and hyperactivity, swollen lymph nodes, allergies.

The ear has the function of translating vibrations.  If there are accumulations of wax, fungus, parasites or infection inside the ear the interpretation of sound vibrations may be altered.  Imagine using the palm of your hand to pat a full bowl full of flour, the sound is muffled.  This is what happens when your ear canal is congested.  The ear, nose and throat are connected which may cause complicated infections.

Traditional ear swabbing and plunging only cleans the outer ear and pushes the compacted wax further into the orifice of the ear.  Persons with hearing aides may need more frequent cleaning as well as telephone operators, swimmers, transcribers and heavy dairy consumers.  Ear coning after plane flights may also bring relief to the pressures created by air travel. 
In comparison to other ear cones, our herbal ear cone has a slower burning process and the volume of earwax and debris accumulated in one cone has the extraction rate equivalent to as many as four to nine of the competitors cones and may draw as much as 50% to 80% more debris and ear wax. You can use one ear candle for two ears!

The herbal ear cones are carefully hand made with all natural products, such as bee’s wax cotton, hemp fabric and a variety of herbal extracts withessential oils for aroma-therapeutic purposes. 

A WORD FROM OUR CLIENTS:
The doctors diagnosed me as deaf in my left ear for approximately two years.  After the first treatment I noticed that I had regained partial hearing.  Several sessions later I noticed a marked improvement.  I now have gained full hearing in my left ear.  I decided to remove dairy products from my diet and I haven’t had to have treatments as often ~ Ms. T. Brenner Southfield, MI

We are using ear candles instead of having surgical tubes put back in my daughter’s ears.  They do the job!       G. Sullivan ~ Oak Park, MI

I can always tell when it is time for my husband to get his ears cleaned; he starts shouting!  My own balance is better and my thinking is much clearer ~ S. Parker Windsor, Ontario Canada

My eighteen- month old baby stayed full of cold and infection.  She tugged on her ears constantly and cried most of the night.  We took her into emergency and the doctors ordered a full spectrum of antibiotics.  Nothing seemed to help and we found that we had to literally sleep in shifts.  I was introduced to ear candling (coning) by a good friend.
After the first treatment, our daughter slept all night.  We took her for a few more treatments before her next regular pediatrician appointment and the doctor’s said that there wasn’t any sign of that there had ever been an infection.  It has been six months since the last ordeal; I wish I had known about ear candles before we spent a fortune in medication, doctor bills, office visits and antibiotics that didn’t work! ~ M.R. Greene Atlanta, GA.   

MAINTENTANCE:

The cleaning process should take at least one to two sets of cones per session, one to two times a week for a month, then once a month for maintenance purposes.  Within 24 hours after coning, wear earplugs, or place cotton into the ear canal when taking a shower (KEEP EARS DRY!)  Depending on the sensitivity of the ears, you may put cotton into the ears to protect them from the wind or cold temperatures. Ear candles may be used on all ages, but never without supervision.  Always consult your physician or licensed health practitioner before altering any current treatments.
