Healthy Articles to Feed Your Mind
The secret to slowing your aging process is something your cells understand all too well. It’s called cellular senescence and it’s now the most sought-after natural process available. It’s the fastest-growing solution for chronic symptoms and illness that our clinic has seen since we opened in 1997.
Holistic means essentially in contemplation of the whole. So when I'm putting together a plan for someone to address their symptoms, conditions or diseases, I have to consider their emotional health, their physical health, their nutritional health, their lifestyle, their stress level, what has happened to them in their life, and myriad other little things many of which have become rather intuitive over the 30 years I've done this. In other words, natural healing takes a village...
When patients sit down to tell me about their history, they never mention their parents, as though their personal experience is all that influences their health. But in fact, our health history begins further back in time then we may even know. Jung had the right idea when he espoused the collective unconscious. We truly are the sum total of our ancestry, not just our life experience.
After thirty years as an herbalist I had become a bit jaded about “new” herbal discoveries. Until one appeared on my shelf that really opened my eyes!
Our society and our medical community suggest anti-depressants for everything from digestive disorders to chronic skin conditions. Because we believe that what is a reaction to either external or internal forces is actually an aberrant unconnected emotion. And if you feel better, then you are better. Next! This is a ludicrous conclusion.
Not only do you feel better drinking tea, you actually FEEL better! Let’s drink to that!
I had the luck of ending up behind a school bus this morning that was picking up neighborhood children and whisking them off to school.
How many people does it take to change a light bulb when they have a fear of heights? Always one more than you have on hand, which means you are all standing around the foot of a ladder looking up at the offending light bulb in sheer frustration.
If only we would prepare our bodies and our health as well as prepare for intense weather. The people who are weathering the weather the best are those that were prepared.
The true solution for insomnia lies with what is happening with your energy during the day. If your adrenal glands are shot and you can barely crawl out of bed in the morning, then that has to be addressed before Mr. Sandman knocks on your door.
Everyone knows at least one person that has been in active military duty and many of us know someone who is still fighting a battle even though they have returned home. The assaults that occur against a serviceperson in active duty are not just potentially lethal while serving, they can continue for years after leaving the service. What is the key to solving these complex cases and restoring life to these suffering heroes?
A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away it was generally known that there was a specific fat-soluble nutrient that prevented stiffness and the accompanying arthritis, swelling and pain. It was known as Wulzen Factor and it was found in raw milk, green vegetables, raw soybeans, unheated molasses and sugarcane juice. Aside from the green vegetables, we don’t really consume these foods and I know a few people that run away from green vegetables.
Sleep is not just about rest, it’s about healing and restoration. It’s about processing and creating emotional balance. It’s about giving each organ of the body time off. Our lack of deep sleep may hold the key to your symptoms and your mindset.
Our dependence on technology is extending further and further out into the wilderness and into our daily lives. Along with this comes the debated effects of Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs) on our bodies and particularly our brains. This may be a debatable subject but it is one we all need to pay attention to before one of our loved ones starts to experience symptoms of a serious and preventable illness.

This is a time when many people who have never had a vaccination are thinking about taking the plunge and taking out a bit of insurance when it comes to CoVid. This also means that you may be unaware of how to prepare, how to protect yourself and how to process a vaccination so that you can have the best possible outcome.

Our lives tend to be overrun with required things and living on a schedule, having to integrate others’ needs into our daily lives can take a hidden toll on our sense of self. Loss of our relationship with ourselves and our own needs is the driving force behind stress and its devastating effect on our health and our emotional life.
How many people believe that the Recommended Daily Allowance of vitamins and minerals is the best guide to human health? Please raise your hand…

Now you may think that to insure something is the same as to ensure something, but if you take the time to drag out the big, huge dictionary and blow off the dust, you'll see that they are not. And this is an important factor when it comes to your health.
Each of us has developed a routine. We eat the same things, do the same things, use the same things. This includes taking pharmaceutical drugs, herbs, supplements, cannabis, patches, etc. What we need to look at is that there is a distinct difference between finding a problem and providing therapy and treatment to resolve the problem and simply feeding the body's normal, daily function. Feeding is a daily need, while treatment is not.
Recently I had a difficult experience with a client. It took me a while to realize that all her protests were attempts to drown out her inner voice. She had blocked her ability to heal.
If you have come by the clinic lately, you may have stopped to read our front window. There is a sign that says simply "Gratitude" and with it are a group of heartfelt thank yous we have received since the beginning of this year. Many of these were prompted by our Count Your Blessings newsletter that we sent out, but many just wanted us to know that what we do really makes a difference.
