Feel More Energetic!

You not only are what you eat you will feel what you eat. Your body replaces nearly 98% of its cells in about two years. You literally have a different physical body than you had two years ago! If we replace the old cells with healthier new ones we can reverse illness and improve both our physical and emotional state of health and our energy levels will increase quickly.

Some people have all their organs functioning perfectly at a high energetic level. Others seem to be lacking the bio-energy needed to stay healthy. This is shown by a general lack of energy, skin and bowel problems, immunity problems such as colds and allergies, joint and muscle pain, psychological and sleep disorders to name a few. This can be changed. How?

Usually various factors must be looked at. First and most important is what goes into the body: food and water. To maintain an environment that disease cannot grow in the body must be kept in an alkaline state. This is done in varying ways.

Diet: Add more raw organic fruits and vegetables. These foods contain lots of fiber and will also help absorb toxins in the digestive tract and will boost your energy levels.

Every function of our body requires essential fatty acids, yet nearly everyone is deficient. Hemp oil is well balanced and tasty. Use double the recommended amount for several months until you’re balanced. Avoid processed fats and oils.

Water: You must drink sufficient water to maintain energy levels. RO and distilled are quite acidic. Chlorine is extremely acidifying to the body and should be avoided. Drink filtered water, not coffee for an energy boost. Avoid sweetened drinks.

Bowel Function: It’s been said that all disease starts in the bowel. Some foods like meat can take up to 72 hours to pass through the system. Can you imagine what a piece of meat left on your kitchen counter in mid-summer would smell like? That’s what’s happening inside your body! Dairy products will coat the duodenum with mucous making it difficult to absorb nutrients.

Weight: Toxins are stored in fat cells so maintain or lose weight if necessary. Exercise will also give you energy. Just do it!

Detoxification: Some people’s bodies will not detoxify well on their own. A few ways the body can be helped to do this is by regular use of ionic foot baths, saunas, skin brushing, zeolites.

Stress: How we handle stress is also one of the differentiating factors of how we heal. If we haven’t learned to deal with the daily challenges of life in a non-stressful way, it can literally make us sick. Our emotions are preceded by thought. Change the thought which changes the emotion which changes the hormones and in turn changes the mood and our stress level.

Beautiful Skin Comes from Within

The manufacturers of beauty lotions and skin care products will have you believe that beautiful skin comes in a bottle or jar. While it is important to cleanse your skin and allow it to breathe, it is also important to keep you inner elimination organs functioning at top notch so that the skin will not have so much work to do with eliminating toxins.

When we go through hormonal changes, our liver gets clogged up and toxins will look for another place to exit. Usually this is via the skin in the form of pimples or acne, especially if our bowels are also not functioning properly.

Fortunately, these things can be remedied. It may not be an overnight process but within a few weeks to a month, these skin conditions can be remedied with a good cleansing program and dietary changes. The worst offenders are typically sugar and pasteurized dairy products. Simply eliminating these may show benefits quite quickly. Food additives and refined oils are two further products that should be eliminated.

Certified organic produce also contains more enzymes and minerals that contribute to healthy skin. Eating raw fruits and vegetables leave enzymes intact so they can go to work to clean up waste in our bodies. Drinking freshly pressed juices is a quick way to cleanse your blood and give your digestive system a rest from work so that your body can work on healing.

A few colonic treatments may be helpful if constipation is severe. This will speed up the elimination process. A good probiotic will rebalance the bowel flora so that the colon will start working properly. Look for a probiotic that has a full spectrum of bacteria and is packaged with the food it eats to ensure that it will still be alive by the time you take it. Eating a diet high in healthy fiber will contribute to daily cleansing of the colon and maintaining healthy bacteria.

Light exercise, saunas, skin brushing and drinking lots of alkaline water will further help to eliminate toxins. Beware of reverse osmosis or distilled water also known as “dead” water which tends to be quite acidic and are not suitable for everyday use. When in doubt, test with a pH strip. Our cells need bio-energy and dead water will not provide it. Using alkaline water has improved the skin tone and color in many people who have kidney disorders.

To lighten the load on the liver it’s important to remove chemicals from everyday use. This includes personal care products that you wouldn’t feel safe eating, air fresheners and paraffin candles, estrogen containing products, cleaners, scented detergents, drier sheets and other such items that are not necessary. When you have MCS (Multiple Chemical Sensitivities) you quickly learn that these items are not necessary to stay clean or healthy.

Removing heavy metals like lead and cadmium from the body will free up the mineral receptors responsible for calcium and zinc uptake that will also contribute to healthy skin.

For those who want to know what skin care products I recommend you can take a look at my site www.goodskinforlife.com. Pure, certified organic and safe enough to eat. Creating a barrier between your skin and the toxic environment will go a long way to protect your skin from the outside. The next blog post will be about cleaning up the inner terrain so follow this blog!

Ionic "Detox" Foot Bath Machines

I was thrilled to receive a copy of a new magazine called simply, Footbath Magazine. Finally someone is exposing the truth about those phony color charts. The above page says it all!

I've had an Aqua Chi footbath for years now after my friend Linda Schaumleffel, former Olympic rower turned car crash victim (fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, brain damage) told me it was the best thing that ever happened to her. She gave me a treatment in hers and that evening I took the deepest breath I had taken in probably 20 years. The next day I ordered my own machine.

After about 5 sessions I noticed that a large patch of fungus on my skin had completely vanished. For years I had tried many creams and homeopathic and herbal remedies on it to no avail. Keep in mind that previous to this I worked for an excellent holistic doctor and had access to many wonderful things but my fungus remained. Was it a fluke?

The next victim was my Mom. She's got fibromyalgia. About 20-25 sessions later--of of these days I will learn to keep track of such details--all pain was gone and remained gone for well over a year before a tune-up was needed.

I've had well over 100 different people in my Aqua Chi with no adverse effect and many happy customers. A few people bought cheap machines on ebay and found they didn't work. One of my friend has a well known brand but bought the Aqua Chi as an additional one and now it's all she uses since the results are better.

Is Addiction Really a Disease?

As this recent article in MacLeans magazine suggests, addiction is really a choice.


Although the author doesn't seem to talk about nutrients as a nutritional consultant I have to agree with him. When we take a close look at an "addict's" brain we will see that there are certain deficiencies that cause the brain to desire the creation of more neurotransmitters such as serotonin or dopamine. Drugs and alcohol can boost neurotransmitters for a short time making a person feel good or even normal. Who wants to feel bad? No one.

Severe cravings result when there are a lack of amino acids. These are the building blocks of protein and without adequate amino acids the neurotransmitters can't function properly and a person has an overwhelming urge to fix this. The only problem is that unless they know about the amino acid connection, they will reach for the wrong thing!

I've seen severe cravings vanish in a matter of minutes when a person uses the correct amino acid. GABA and L-glutamine are great for this.

Another problem is alcohol abuse will also create candida overgrowth. Candida is a naturally occurring bacteria and belongs in our digestive tract but when a person consumes acidic food like sugar, alcohol, dairy, grains, meat, etc then the candida takes over rapidly.

So what happens when the alcoholic stops drinking? The candida is starving for food and causes the person to reach for either another drink or as anyone familiar with alcoholism will know, they will suddenly start eating candy bars in large quantities. Even people who have had a dislike for chocolate will start eating it. The candida is powerful and it wants to stay alive. The urge to drink or eat sugar becomes virtually unbearable and the addict exchanges one addiction for another without solving the underlying problem.

Is there a solution? Absolutely. When we feed our body and brain with good nutrients we will no longer crave alcohol, junk food or drugs. Exercise is also helpful.

I highly recommend getting the body into an alkaline state, filling up on amino acids, detoxing the body of heavy metals so that mineral absorption becomes optimal as well as consuming lots of water and raw fruits and veggies to increase energy levels which in turn make exercising easier. Exercise will also help depressive states. Candida must be dealt with in order for long-term success to be there.

Addiction is a choice but overcoming addiction can be next to impossible if the brain is starving and there's candida overgrowth. For a phone consult and more specific recommendations, contact me at

Dr. Spencer's Breast Cream

Well, today I am going to write about a very unique solution for lumpy breasts and other breast problems that recently came on the market. Dr. Spencer is a bit of a genius when it comes to formulating solutions to apply externally. His first creation to reach anyone outside of his personal patients is a breast cream with a special type of spirulina (think detox!), aloe vera, essential oils like Bulgarian Rose and Lavender to name a few.

For a full ingredient list click on the Breast Cream link here: www.tumoralert.com. For amazing experiences in the last 60 days (also the guarantee time) see www.breastcreamwithalgae.com.

I've been using the cream for about a week now on my face and on some difficult raised skin spots I have on my leg. The bumps are now smooth but there is still discoloration. Considering the skin takes 28 days to completely renew and there is likey damage at a deep cellular level, I don't expect to see a complete disappearance very quickly so the overnight flattening of it was quite amazing.

My wrinkles have reduced, my skin is softer and a weird patch of "elephant skin" is fading too. I don't really want bigger breasts so I'm a big hesitant to use it there. Years of detoxing removed all my lumps and I wear a Jeunique bra which improves lymph flow so lumps will go away, not to mention that posture is improved.

At this time, there's not a simple order possibility for the cream so I suggest signing up as a distributor, getting the basic kit which includes the cream and Breast Chek kit. You don't need to stay on Autoship. Call me if you like. My number is on the website.

Have an awesome day and stay cancer-free with detoxification!

PS (Jan 2010): I'm no longer a distributor so go to www.plexuspink.com for more details and if interested just search for a distributor in your area.
