Serenity helps heal our troubled Planet and Ourselves

The last week or so I have noticed I am moving faster and not always getting things done. The outside influences on our daily lives tend to harass us, if we let them. Being human this is a natural reaction.

I am trying to do better in this area. I purchased a wonderful meditation tape called Wings II and try and play it for an hour each night before sleep, I pray for my well being and those around me, including the animals, and my neighbors. I take it a step further and ask for healing of our planet and animals. Without this protection we are in for even tougher times.

This negative energy, has a huge impact on those of us who have weakened immune systems, so we have to work very hard to keep healthy. I try to ignore all the negative bits on the news and pray for those that are hurting, their homes being flooded, the fires that swept through the mountains and the numerous disasters reported almost on a daily basis.

The earth is rebelling and we need to help it calm down. Daily meditation for ourselves and others, offer a wonderful calming influence to all that surrounds us. The animals are being affected, in the latest Farmers Almanac, a wonderful Indian healer, who is 90+, learnt how to tell the seasons, storms, coming events from animal behavior. He laments that this is fast dissapearing, as the animals have stopped their normal cycles and seem confused. This means the energy and the resonation of the earth has been affected. To help ourselves and those around us it is important to think on these things. This in turns helps our serenity and starts a healing cycle. Have a great week.

Why Are So Many Animals Getting Cancer

Our two dogs went back to their maker this year. The one of the left Monty had a brain aneurysm, and had to be put to sleep after he started having frequent massive seizures. Boots on the R was put to sleep almost 3 months to the day after her companion. She was a year and a half younger. They lived a long full life, but why did their end have so many problems. Boots developed a liver cancer. It was not detected till the day of her death. Why because I had her on a supplement that kills abnormal cells, and I had taken her off it after she developed diarrhea. It took about 10 days for her to deteriorate. I am sure the loss of her companion did not help. He was nearly 13 and she 11.5 years.

These animals are just 2 of thousands who have come down with cancer or other severe maladies, that we never used to see in animals. Those dying of cancer 20 years ago were few and far between. I am a cancer survivor and I blog/chat on Cancer Compass each week. Where there used to be one or two postings for pets, even 5 years ago, now there are dozens and maybe hundreds. From Brain tumors, to Liver to Kidney and blood dyscrasias, the are becoming more and more prevalent.

I truly believe the ingredients in the food of these animals is being contaminated. 3 years ago we found out that China was putting chemicals into the dog food and thousands of dogs died. Both dogs had a small dose of that contaminated food and who knows what their future would have been if that had not happened. Unfortunately Monty was poisoned accidently, along with my husband, 8 years ago. He went blind. My husband had to have drastic measures to detoxify his system. (He spilled a garden poison and he and the dog absorbed some of it) Both were cured by huge doses of natural supplements and Monty regained his sight and vigor..I am sure this did not help him.

These dogs had wholesome food as well, oatmeal, brown rice, organic meat, organic chicken. As I was ill for a long time I could not always give them the natural food. I even purchased so called natural food but then went to a "reputable" brand of so called healthy food. I do believe it was contaminated. I have since found out that several dog food companies, that say Made in the USA, bring in the ingredients from China and mix it with their own. So how do we know these additives are not poisoning our animals.

My friends have dog who passed at 5 and 6 years because of similar problems. Our dogs had a hundred acres to roam and run and I am sure that kept them healthy.

If our animals are being poisoned, what about us????

The one way to minimize the risk is to take the time to make your own dog food. Use grains that you know where they come from, Organic meats, organic rice and mix it yourself. This way they get a wholesome diet and will live longer. If I had dogs again I would never buy commercial grade food...The Govt said they stopped these practices but how do we know. We don't....I am just saddened that I see so many cats, dogs etc being brought to an early and painful death because of poor nutrition. The company that shouts the loudest about the healthy dog food probably has the worst. Lawn poisons are absorbed into the animals feet and this does not help. We need to go back to organic and look at our own way of life. Here is to healthier animals.!

Supporting your Immune System Revisited-women especially

Happy Labor day to you all. Enjoy the last weekend of summer. Some of us will be able to do this easily and some will struggle.

Working on our immune system is a daily project and sometimes we feel we just can't be bothered keeping up.

Those of us who have had serious illness, especially cancer, must always be vigilant. Yes we can slack off for a day or two but then we must pick ourselves up and work on the never ending cycle, of improving our immune system.

Myself I have to be watchful and sometimes I do not catch the clues sent my way. Our daily lives are filled with so much outside influence we feel we do not always have time. The idea is to MAKE time.

This week one of my dear friends was very ill, she had been suffering several different ailments, and had been trying to be healthy. It was not working. She suffered a severe attack of some 'flu or infection 6 weeks ago and has never really recovered.

After a well needed doctors visit she found many of her symptoms came from the lack of the proper hormones and mainly progesterone. Women overlook many symptoms related to illness and often a good work up and a proper regiment of therapy can solve a lot of ills. In her case her immune system (liver, gallbladder etc) could not cope, she needed hormones to help improve her health. I personally favor natural supplements and there are many doctors who can prescribe natural hormone replacement. Make sure you choose a doctor who knows what he/she is doing.

I have been using the Young living progesterone Oil, Progessence Plus, along with some Femigen capsules. I need the capsules as I am missing my ovaries. This has made a considerable difference to me and my energy.

Liver cleansing is another factor that one needs to address. All the chemo, drugs, toxins etc. are thrown off to the liver and one needs a cleansing diet, or cleansing supplements to keep the liver healthy.

I use coffee enemas and find them very simple and cleansing. I also lighten my diet. One book suggest you do not eat red meat after 3 pm as the body struggles to digest it in the evening.

Many people need more protein but cooking your own beans and or using tofu is a great natural source of protein. Want to up your potassium Have a baked potato or some broccoli. Bananas while a good food, are ripened with gas, and thus more toxic substance to absorb. There are approx 10 tsps sugar in a banana, and while it is natural a toxic or compromised liver cannot handle it.

These are simple things to help the immune system. Stress is another but will chat about that again another day. Doing all we can to help ourselves is the key to boosting our longevity. Be well and have a great holiday....
