Obesity Map 2007 from CDC

The Center for Disease Control just released another survey regarding obesity. The results for Texas indicate 26 to 29% of adults are obese. Comments say that the majority of the problem resides in poor areas.
When you look at the recommendations for what to do and the Federally Financed Obesity reduction programs, the suggestions center on more exercise and dietary changes.

While these are great ideas and are necessary for health and longevity; sometimes obesity can be caused by other layers of issues- among them are: Toxins, Inadequate Enzymes, Parasites, Fungal overgrowth, and just plain sludge.
We are bombarded on a daily basis with toxins, whether we breathe them, consume them, or make them ourselves through our own metabolism. The work of receptor site researchers like Candace Pert and Esther Sternberg tell us that these molecules can stay stuck for awhile causing potential defects in hormone balance, cellular communication, and cellular reproduction.

Inadequate Digestive Enzymes can also lead to weight gain and other health and behavior issues. If food is not digested into small enough particles, the larger particles can make their way through the intestinal wall anyway (leaky gut syndrome) and cause what we know as “food allergies” results can be pain, behavior problems, rash, and other manifestations. Supplementing the body with additional digestive enzymes can be one step toward weight loss for people who have this as a causal factor. Cleansing is also called for to remove the build-up of undigested food (some people have had over 60 pounds of undigested food in their system at death.)

Parasites and fungal infestations may be a root cause and there is even research regarding a human adeno-virus that can cause obesity.
If the cause is parasitic or fungal, those cravings for carbohydrates may be caused by the creatures and seem out of the subject’s control. To stop the creatures from yelling for food, they need to be eliminated.
Yeasts and parasites love living in acid environments, thus the dietary changes should include switching to LESS ACID CAUSING food. (There is a misconception about this, the food may be acid going in to the system, like lemon juice, but upon digestion, it has an alkalizing ability.) video here Additional cleansing of the system is also called for.

Sludge in our digestive system can also speed up the road to obesity. The intestinal wall is lined with tiny structures called villi whose job it is to absorb nutrients from the digested food as it moves through the system. If undigested sludge, parasites, or toxins clog the receptor sites, we CANNOT absorb the nutrients we need to be healthy. Our bodies may cry for more food because it cannot absorb what it needs from the food it gets.

Since the CDC does not address cleansing, I am going to talk about it here. As explained above, it is probably needed by most of us and we hate to talk about our elimination system. (I just love the kid’s book “Everyone Poops” .)

Those of us blessed with a Grandma who was schooled in Common Sense Health, one who grew up before we all got brainwashed into thinking there is a Pill for everything, we know that for any ailment, the enema bag was part of the suggested treatment.

Ancient cultures including the Egyptians used colon cleansing as an adjunct to good health. After all over 90% of our immune system resides in our gut.

Whether we go to a spa for colon hydro therapy, or start a cleanse at home, cleansing should become a part of our healthy routine and there are many ways of accomplishing this. And they do not always require a lot of money.
Stanley Burroughs brought us the Master Cleanse which uses a special lemonade containing:

• Lemon to alkalize the tissues
• Cayanne Pepper to increase flow of blood and lymph so that toxins that are loosened can easily get out.
• Molasses to provide minerals and calories so we can give our digestive tract a rest.

Enemas can give you a good start on a cleanse and can be done at home with a $12 to $25 2-quart enema bag from the drug store, or larger 1 gallon ones can be found on the web.  Apparently colon hydro therapists in Texas have been having some problems with the state so home care may be the best choice.  Search the internet for supplies, recipes, instructions and even some videos.

Enema Recipes abound, here is one I like and you can find more on the internet.

• In a blender place
• 2 cloves of garlic will help remove parasites and yeast
• 1 capful of aloe gel (from the fillet, not just aloe juice) soothing to the intestinal wall
• 2 capfuls of bentonite liquid (bentonite is a clay that has been used for centuries to pull out toxins.
• Add 2 quarts of warm filtered or distilled water (recall that the intestines are for absorbing nutrients, we don’t want to add a bunch of chlorine or other chemicals here.)
Follow the instructions with your bag.

My favorite cleanses include Therapeutic Quality Essential Oils and are made by Young Living.
The Cleansing Trio was my choice to help me eliminate ½ dozen medications and pave the way to lose 64 pounds. It includes :

• EssentialZyme- a very powerful set of digestive enzymes plus essential oils
• ICP or intestinal cleansing powder- soluble and insoluble fibers plus oils to help dissolve and eliminate toxins from the receptor sites.
• Comfort Tone- Stimulates peristalsis in the intestinal tract and contains oils as well as additional “cleaning brushes” to clean up the villi.

5 Day Nutritive Cleanse Includes some super nutrition products along with supportive essential oils.

Once the system begins to clear, it is possible to begin to balance the hormones and other aspects of the body.

Grandma was right- cleaning up the intestinal tract is the fastest way to recover from contagious diseases and the starting point in battling a degenerative disease. Just as we change the oil filter on our car and the AC filter in our HVAC systems, we need to clean our own plumbing and filtration systems periodically to keep them in functional condition.

Convention is such a great experience, the opportunity to be with others interested in the healing arts- of all sorts and the new research that is disseminated makes the trip an absolute must.

There was a lot of information provided so this blog will take a bit of time to get it all to you!

New oils from Ecuador – New Products – New protocols being used in Ecuador – New Masters Degree from Guayaquil Metropolitan University – Sharing Techniques – Nursing Home Test Results –

New Oils from Ecuador-

Gary Young has purchased several thousand acres of land in Ecuador and is growing and distilling plants. By these farming methods, the land that would have been green and growing only 3 or 4 months of the years is actively green and growing all year round.

Young Living is the first to bring a gas spectrometer to Ecuador for private analysis of the crops (the constituent levels are always tested prior to harvest to assure high quality… after all once you cut the plant down, there is no more oil production going on.)

New Oils discoveries include:

Cedron – Also known as lippi citradora which was used in the 194o’s by Jean Valnet in his research in treating Hodgkin’s Lymphoma with a 98% success rate. This oil is not available to us yet. It is balancing to the hormones – both male and female, it regulates thyroid function, is autoblastic (meaning anti-tumoral) it is a blood purifier and very strong support for the immune and endocrine systems. This will be a biggie for just about all degenerative and auto-immune dis-eases.

Copal- A very powerful anti-inflammatory agent. Now in use in our new product- “Deep Relief” roll on essential oil applicator.

Durado Azul- Gary also called this the “Golden Weed” as it matures the edge of the leaves turn blue. High in compounds that balance hormones and allow reduction in use of steroid drugs within patients on steroids when they come into the clinic.

Blue Eucalyptus- Normally we do not use eucalyptus to go after viruses, we use Eucalyptus globules for bacteria. BUT this one does go after viruses since it is very high in eucalyptol at about 56%. Eucalyptus Blue also stimulates the hypothalamus and the cascade of neurotransmitters and hormones.

Amazing New Protocol in use! - The Young Living essential oils are so pure and so powerful, that Dr. Young is now doing something never really done before. He has modified IV solutions to allow them to be used as a carrier for essential oils used in the drip. In this way, several patients have been able to emerge from a virtual death sentence due to Toxic Mold, cancer, and other infections.

Masters Degree in Applied Investigative Sciences in Application of Essential Oils from Metropolitan University of Guayaquil, Ecuador.- Dr. Young has prepared both a Masters and ungergraduate programs of study to be delivered in conjunction with theUniversity.  The program will include intensive class room studies as well as hands on time at the clinic and at the farm to learn about oils, growing, distillation and use literally from the ground up!

SHARING TECHNIQUES

Several of the Break Out sessions were about sharing the oils with the intention of helping others.

Vicki Opfer, YL Diamond Distributor gave a very eloquent account of her sharing experience with tips regarding questions to ask that help people answer their own inquiries.   Vicki has a book and CDs to help us get over our fear  and take a heart centered approach to talking about heath with others.  There are so many resources available for suport.  We need to stop thinking that we need to know everything ourselves.  The new book is called Harmony, Joy & Abundance and is available from E.S.Publishing at www.essentialscience.net

Nursing Home Results.-

A six month cost effective experiment by Nida Gonzales, a registered dietition in New Jersey yielded impressive results.  They simply diffused oils in public areas of the nursing home such as the recreation areas and lounges; peppermint to stimulate mental acuity and uplift spirits, and Lavender to calm and prepare for a good night’s rest.  Within the rooms of patients with behavior issues or toruble with sleeping, lavender or Peace and Calming were diffused.  One of the directors of these homes has already issued a new directive eliminating the standard practice of administering psychotropic drugs!  Patients with bed sores and other health issues were given Ningxia Red.  In one instance, a 90 year old woman with stage 4 bedsores was losing weight, refused treatments, and had developed pnumonia was given 1 oz of Ningxia Red 3 times a day lemongrass was diffused in her room.  Within about 3 weeks, her sores were noticibly healing and within about 2 months they were healed.  A side effect of the diffusing of the oils is that respiratory infections were reduced withn the patient population overall.  This can save nursing home staff a lot of work and families a lot of worry and can improve the quality of life for our aging relatives.

Well- I know there was more discussed- especially the testimonies of patients at the clinic and some special speakers.  But this is all I have time for today!
