Q&A Immunity, Adrenals and Anxiety

Question:

Briefly, my immune system is extremely compromised..20 yrs ago I was diagnosed with contact dermatitis.Hospitalizations, specialists, cortisone oral, topical, intravenous.allergy tests inconclusive. After years of trying all forms of therapies, this year I researched and put myself on a wholesome eating plan. 3months later internally I feel better, however my main concern right now is fatigue!!  As I believe my skin and gut problems are my stress response, I wondered if adrenal system is compromised?? I am an anxious person.

 

Answer:

With the history you mention, yes it is quite likely that you are experiencing adrenal exhaustion. You have made some good choices, as far as diet improvement and understanding the connections between the different challenges you are having.

I do cover diet very completely in my book, The Paw Paw Program, as I consider Diet the #1 Pillar for all healing.

In addition to diet, the other pillars discussed in my book are emotions, exercise, and supplementation – all important. As far as supplementation is concerned, there is a new product, at this point only available in the US, but hopefully will be in Canada by June, called Anxiousless. I have heard  excellent results with this product.

For nutritionally supporting and rebuilding adrenals , we have used a formulation called Adrenal Support. Please contact our office, or phone us, 250-748-6802 (yes old fashioned, but efficient and personable) if you would like to order either of these. That way you can be sure to get therapeutic quality nutritionals direct from same company we have used for 25 years, get a discount, as well as our continued support.

Spiritual

Ho’oponopono is an ancient Hawaiian technique for solving spiritual, emotional, mental or any type of problem. By addressing any negative situation with these 4 phrases, we can free our minds from past memories and restore the purity of our hearts and clean up repetitive issues that keep surfacing from our subconscious mind.

“If we can accept that we are the sum total of all past thoughts, emotions and words, deeds and actions and that our present lives and choices are colored or shaded by this memory bank of the past, then we begin to see how a process of correcting or setting aright can change our lives, our families and our society.” Mormah Nalamaku Simeona

The 4 phrases are: I am Sorry, Please Forgive Me, I Love You, Thank You.

Medical Scene

Runaway Use of Radiation Harming Patients

Dr. Eric Topol, author of The Creative Destruction of Medicine, has this to say about Americans being “overcooked” with damaging radiation.

  • one CT angiogram of the heart is 16 mSv, that is equivalent to 800 chest x-rays
  • A typical nuclear scan, at 41 mSv, and performed annually on many cardiology patients is equivalent to 2000 chest x-rays.

But patients aren’t told this, nor are any safety measures in place to record accumulated exposures. Safer diagnostics such as ultrasounds and MRIs are under-used. The following 3 minute video gives more information.

How much water you should drink every day?

Question:                                                                                                                                                                                                                      There has been a lot of contr0versy about how much water a person needs to drink daily. What is your opinion?              JV, from AZ

Answer:

How much water you should drink every day?                                                                                                                                       A recent National newscast stated that we did not need to drink water unless we are thirsty, but the problem is that many people do not recognize thirst and mistake it for hunger.  On this show some medical doctor stated we get enough in our fruits and vegetables. But other Doctors, such as Dr. Batamanghelidj, author of Your Body’s Many Cries for Water,  state otherwise. Macrobiotic theory does not promote excess water drinking. Their diet is well balanced in yin and yang, with adjustments for where they live, what season, consists of many more vegetables than a  Standard American Diet (SAD) and does not have excess yin and yang of sugar salt and coffee. From my clinical experience, many diets are deficient in fruits and vegetables. So obviously how much water is a controversial subject!

What I advise my clients is to divide their body weight in pounds by 1/2 and that equals the number of ounces of water needed per day. For example for a 150 lb. person  divided by 2 = 75 oz. per day. This is just a  guideline figure to be adjusted to suit you. Adjust according to YOUR level of activity, temperature, age and your diet. Pay attention to your body, keep in mind the  9 points below,  know the signs of dehydration and listen to your body!

For the 9 points see the website: How much water you should drink every day?

Office Clearance of Herbal Education: I am letting go of my collection of audio and VHS lectures, CRA training, Tree of Light Herbal Hours – about 3 pages catalogued, that go back from the late 1980’s. It is time for clearing out and I hope I have most of this great education stored somewhere in my brain computer. If anyone wants any of this information, email me for the list. If local, we can arrange pick-up. If mailing out, you will just have to pay postage.

Nature’s Sunshine Managers will have first priority until July 7th, then it open to any and all who are interested in this mode of learning, and still have a VHS machine to play the,m. I cannot say it is progress to have moved to DVD’s – the VHS are still great quality.

Political Scene

People world wide are demonstrating against government over-control and increased bureaucracy intended to limit our freedoms. Especially in Canada and the US, rights which we fought long and hard to guarantee in our constitutions, are becoming eroded.

We need to let politicians know that WE elect and pay them and we expect to have our voices heard. Get involved, while you still have the right to. As we become involved, let us not look for what’s wrong and what’s missing, as this thinking can attract more of the same negative.

We can help direct positive change by daily expression of gratitude for what we DO have.  Focus on a loving world that provides for all and let this  positive emotion create a vibration that attracts to us an increased experience of the good. The tides are turning as we balance the dark greed forces with those of light and love. With this loving energy we can create the changes we desire. Since your mind is going to hold images of something, hold images of high ideals.

 The Amazing Human Body

It takes your food seven seconds to get from your mouth to your stomach.

One human hair can support 6.6 pounds.

The average man’s penis is two times the length of his thumb.

Human thighbones are stronger than concrete.

A woman’s heart beats faster than a man’s.

There are about one trillion bacteria on each of your feet.

Women blink twice as often as men.

The average person’s skin weighs twice as much as the brain.

Your body uses 300 muscles to balance itself when you are standing still.

If saliva cannot dissolve something, you cannot taste it.

Women
will be finished reading this by now.
Men
are still busy checking their thumbs.

Business Tip    

When we think and move confidently in the direction of our dream, we cross an invisible boundary.

Once we cross this invisible boundary line all sorts of things begin to happen.  Our mind begins to contact the minds of others who think along the same line.

This law is immutable. We begin to attract what we are, we get in the frequency of what we want. We release concern about how it is going to come to us.

Our job is to move our feet in the direction of our dream and expect that it will meet us.  And it will!

Go Confidently and with the intention of serving,
