Headed for a NY and Much to be Thankful For

Sunset is a wonderful time to reflect on the day, now it is time to reflect on our year of 2010. We can choose to think of the good things that happened to us, or to all the negativity that was flung our way, through no fault of our own. I ask for a blessing on the earth, the sick and suffering and those who are less fortunate than some of us.

We have been blessed with a wonderful year of travel, family and friends, this has been quite wonderful. We lost our beloved pets but they taught us so much. Several of our dear friends passed on too early. We do not know why but we can give comfort to those who need it.

Healing ourselves with good thoughts is the most important decision we can make. My friend Who has MM and is kind enough to follow my little blog, I salute you. The things you do each day would overwhelm me. You create beauty and love wherever you go and put yourself ahead of others. God Bless you and your family and may you be healed. I love you knitting and sewing items they are marvelous. I have had several negative experiences but by being patient and paying back in kindness, a wonderful result came about instead of negativity and hurt feelings. We spent most of our Christmas money on those in need and that is far more rewarding than getting presents for ourselves. Each day we meet people and we have no idea how we affect them.

I pray for a blessed 2011 as I suspect we are in for a bit of a wild ride. Only prayer and faith can help us with things we have no control over.

For those still suffering from cancer I have had some wonderful feedback on patients trying natural things, every step forward is a blessing.

I have posted new items on my website and have given some recipes for natural juicing, hope this helps for some. May you all have a special NY and be blessed in 2011!

Christmas and New Year a Time for Peace- Eclipse

Greetings of the season and may peace and good health be with you all. Procrastination is my undoing. Have been away so much by the time I get back into my own time zone, I am zoned. Thanks to my loyal friends who visit this blog. The world around us is in such disarray. We can use a higher power to meditate, ask for forgiveness and to forgive those around us, whom seem to be bent on negative actions and deeds. It is hard to pray for your enemies but that is something one can practice with patience.

This is a wonderful season if one does not get caught up in the flurry and worry of it all. Our family was too poor to have celebrations but we had a great Christmas pudding with real money in it. (One had to be careful not to swallow too soon) When the money was changed from silver our parents kept a small supply of coins to put in the pudding and replaced it with the fake money we have today. We then spent the day at the beach. If we were fortunate to get a present it was much cherished. We sang and laughed and in that time life was more simple.

Healing our minds and hearts is something that keeps us going.

I was sent an article, on the loss of the honeybees, this is not the first I have heard of this occurrence. They put a very powerful pesticide on the corn and a few other crops and it wiped out millions of honey bees. Is it still allowed today..Yes..Do the people who control these things know, Yes..That is what meditation and prayer is for, to protect the planet, and forgive those who do the wrong thing.

I had my cancer check up and praise be I am still cancer free. I just had a wonderful email from a young man with a brain tumor. He started on polymva and after 6 weeks his tumor is shrinking. You can read about that on my website, although I have not finished my articles. www.healingcancernaturally.net and under "my story"

I am also doing further research on curcimin and its and its anti cancer effects. There is a well known professor at MD Anderson who has had marvelous results by adding curcumin to their regime.

Sometimes a break from the chemotherapy can be beneficial. It lets the body heal from the introduced toxins, but of course I cannot recommend this without your doctors approval.

Did you see the eclipse on the night of 20 th and am 21st, it started before midnight and ended about 1.5 hours late it was awesome. I have photographed this before but did you realize this is the first time the eclipse happened on the equinox in 300+ years, is that not amazing. I should find my previous pictures to post but they are stacked away somewhere.

May peace be in your hearts and those you love by your side. And may Santa's sleigh land on your roof! Blessing.

Essential Oils That Heal and Make you feel Good.

Many ancient cultures used essential oils or aromatic oils, as they knew them. To heal, cleanse, cook with, and improve their lives. The Egyptians used these aromatic oils in many of their temple rituals. They considered them sacred and placed them in alabaster pots.When king Tut's tomb was opened a huge amount of aromatic oils were found, they were still in excellent condition.

in 1817 a papyrus was discovered and it contained hundreds of cures, prescriptions and remedies. Frankincense and Myrrh were mentioned several times in the bible, it was used for embalming because it helped prevent bacterial growth. The Qu'ran also mentions these oils and ways to heal. In the late 19th century these oils became more popular as they did not have antibiotics or things we have today. This probably was a good thing as many infections, wounds and sores during world war one.

In 1920 Rene'maurice Gattefosee' was working in his lab and severely burnt his arm, he plunged it into a vat of what he thought was water, instead it was pure lavender extract, to his amazement the pain let up very quickly and he put this on for several days, and the burn did not leave a scar.

These pioneers and others have used these oils for antibacterial, anti-fungal, and antiseptic purposes. Today we are just beginning to understand their uses. A lost art has been rediscovered.

In Europe these natural substances can be purchased from the shelf of any pharmacy. When travelling I have used many of these items. Lemon oils for cold or chest congestion and taken a drop or two in a capsule or put in water.

Frankincense is a wonderful oil and it originated in Somalia, and in the middle east is considered the holy anointing oil. I have used it for nerve pain, stress, and it elevates the mind and the immune system benefits. I had a ?sinus tumor with cranial nerve involvement, last year, I did have pain pills for the excruciating pain, but only took them for 5 days. I then rubbed frankincense oil on my forehead and face to help calm it down. I still use it. I am over the cancer but sometimes I have residual nerve pain, and instead of taking an advil, I put the oil on my face.

Lavender helps one sleep but also relieves pain along with peppermint. I travel with these oils as it has saved me many times. I use the young living oils as they are some of the most pure, grown without chemical additives.

I am severely allergic to perfumes and odors and most perfumes are made up of chemicals. Want to smell wonderful and not be overwhelmed with negative chemical odor, Use Oils. The The young living oil, Purification, when applied to skin or clothing or used in a diffuser, can dispel chemical odors and or perfume wearing friends who tip a whole bottle of these things on themselves. I am happy to say my friends now honor my request to stay chemical perfume free. The soaps used to wash the clothes are full of nasty chemicals and people believe they will smell wonderful using these items. I have to wash my clothes in a neutral soap and sometimes it takes a month to get this odor out. (I have dear friends who washed my clothes as a favor and used scented soap) I get headaches and nausea around these odors. A lovely young lady helps me clean my home, and she has constant migraines, as she uses harsh chemicals to clean the many houses she does each week. Our household only has natural products. Think of all the poison going back into the earth....

This Christmas time, give the gift of oils and be surprised at the result. Have a great week and I will continue to chat about the oils. My website is being updated and I have a lot of information on it so if you want to check it out..www.healingcancernaturally.net has a page about oils and I will add to that each month. Be well.

Bone Supplements , PH Balance and Thanksgiving

If you look carefully there are several blue orbs in this picture one on the rock face and one on the mountain top. This is the sacred Indian land in Arizona. We need to treat our bodies as such, Sacred.

There is a lot of information but how do we assimilate what is good for us. One of the major problems of various types of cancer is loss of bone, or brittle bone.

This is not confined to cancer but to many women who are lacking hormones and have brittle bones. The drug companies have many fancy drugs out to "help" restore bone density. Unfortunately they have serious side effects. On Boniva Alone I counted 20 side effects. The company says they are minimal. Hmm... Includes Infections, headaches, increase in cholesterol, several types of pain. With Zometa I counted 12 and one serious one, death. It also necrosis the jaw bone and that cannot come back. I know the "Death" part is extreme but several people have died while taking Zometa. So can we have a natural alternative. Yes eat foods high in calcium. White Beans, Tofu, and obviously dairy, (however dairy is suggested to be limited with cancer patients), Oatmeal, Nuts, Vegetables etc. http://www.fatfreekitchen.com/nutrition/calcium.html Do as much as you can by choosing the right foods. For those of us who need extra there are many forms of Calcium with Magnesium and Vit D. I came across a new Ultimate Bone Support that sounds very promising, It is called Stronium. It works by attracting minerals that are necessary like Calcium, Magnesium, Boron, and Zinc, which lets the bone directly absorb these nutrients. McGTill University in Montreal, did a study on this and in 6 months they showed a remarkable 172% increase in the rate of Bone Formation. Here is a complete article on same: http://www.advancedbionutritionals.com/Products/Ultimate-Bone-Support.htm

This is excellent for those of us whose bones are so fragile that it is a natural way to bring them back.

PH: When the ph of the body becomes acid it allows the body to let all those nasty germs we carry around, to multiply. The normal body ph should be 7.4 - 7.6. Keeping it this way is what keeps us healthy. Foods that are good to keep the ph alkaline are Green and Yellow vegies and whole nuts, the natural ratio of Alkaline to Acid food should be 4:1. That is 4 parts Alkaline 1 part acid. Eating Garlic helps overcome fungus. Meat, Dairy, Mushrooms, Pickled foods, and Sugar are Acidic. How else can we keep the PH alkaline. There are products in the health food store but I use Lemon Juice. When Lemon hits the stomach it becomes Alkaline. So adding a fresh squeezed Lemon daily helps not only with the digestion but with the ph. Lower your stress and avoid antibiotics as much as possible.

I am redoing my website and listing a lot of these hints there permanently. www.healingcancernaturally.net As Thanksgiving comes around we need to be able to eat some "goodies" but stick to the foods that help and you will so much better, instead of that overstuffed feeling. Myself I would eat some turkey vegies, and if I want to add cranberries I make my own natural berries with honey. Dessert, well of course have a piece but do not go overboard. A great way to prepare is Juice 4 Lg carrots and 1 Granny Smith apple and drink before leaving to eat. Sets up the digestion and helps with the ph. I am going to try and update more frequently with tips. May we all have a blessed Thanksgiving and remember to not stress over the small stuff, the resulting angst is not worth it. Take a deep breath and think on something to be really thankful for. Have a wonderful weekend.

The Season To be Thankful

So much happens at this time of year and we do not always stop and give thanks for what we have. Waking up each morning is a gift and if we make the most of each day we cannot ask for me. I see Phil in his blog has now started a regular Thursday Thank You column.

The fast pace of our lives and especially those of us who have serious illnesses, just exhausts us.

I have purchased a couple of lovely CD's, and play as I go to sleep, giving thanks for everything and asking for healing not only for myself, but the earth and all those afflicted.

The elections, earthquakes. volcano's and other calamities have driven our spirits down. If we realize that the survivors of the Chilean Mine cave in held onto faith and prayer, against the most difficult of circumstances, and came out virtually unscathed, we can see what the power of prayer can do. I believe as the world tuned into this terrible horror, they prayed and the collective energy of good wishes and prayer, made it possible for many countries to come together in wonderful display of co-operation and ingenuity.

I speak with many people each week and the cancer segment is growing, now we need to educate, pray and encourage those that are facing this severe illness. Once again I promote the natural healing products like Poly Mva, Curcumin (about 1000 mgs couple of times a day) Cod Liver oil (I like Carlson's for its purity) with 'Flu season upon us we need to take about 1000 to 2000 D3 a day (those with cancer) and about 1000 mgs D3 a day for those who wish to ward off illness. Lets not forget Vit C and all the B vitamins. There are many new things being tested for cancer and hopefully this scourge will be lifted from us. It is up to us as individuals to educate ourselves on what is available and not rely on the doctors only for our survival.

www.cancercompass.com is a wonderful place for information and talking with those who have a similar disease or problems, it also helps those that feel isolated. I find the users of CC have done extensive research not only Natural Healing but on medical healing.

I am thankful I can post and chat with you all and pray you are doing well and are able to take time to meditate and give thanks. Have a wonderful week.

Time Flies and Our daily Lives get Distracted

Hello my friends I have been enjoying the sites of "down Under" we had a wonderful trip to see family and friends and here is the famous Opera house on Sydney Harbor. Obviously I did not have a computer with me so did not blog. However you were not forgotten.

Have some fun with the family even if it is a pleasant afternoon. Nothing like laughter, friends and family to boost the immune system. Sad to say Australia has changed a lot in the last 4 years, I was so disappointed in many stores, as half the inventory re food and my favorite treats, was American. I thought I was in Target down the street and even the fancier stores have much the same items. It used to be uniquely Australian. Ah Global World..

The same problems there re the health, as here, in fact the public health system does not offer as much as we presently get. If you have private insurance the hospitals are nicer and you are looked after better. We shall see what happens here.

While I was away one of my MM friends, In Australia, passed on. I was so sad she fought this disease for 10 years and that is 6 years longer than most.

I looked at the aboriginal art and thought about the way they lived. Yes they were primitive, but they relied on the land, the forest and the animals to heal them and show them the way. They have suffered the fate of the American Indians, culture almost gone, and alcohol has taken its place. So when we talk health there are so many elements of our lives that need attention.

Nurturing, having friends, support, medicine, and all the natural healing one can get. I also found the food to be less imbued with chemicals (Except those American Brands). I try not to eat much sugar (practice what I preach) but they had the best fresh fruit and made the most delicious fruit drinks. I have had similar in Hawaii but these were awesome, Fresh pineapple, Fresh mango juice, Fresh Passion fruit all in one delicious drink, and in the tropics (where we were, it was so refreshing) I wanted to bring it all back. Beaches stretching for miles hardly a soul, a family chopping the top of coconuts to give you a refreshing drink. I hope also may receive some of this joy in a small way, while trying to overcome your illness or preventing it. Take care all!!!
