Reduce Pollen Impact by Rinsing the Sinuses
Posted by: | CommentsThey say that allergies are at an all time high! Articles abound regarding the high pollen counts. They say that it only takes 10 pollen particles to cvause an allergic reaction and that counts are near 5,000 in some areas.
I walked past a tall pine tree the other day and the wind gust caused a cloud of pollen to be released- it looked like a whole bucket of yellow powder floating down!
THIS is the time for a neti pot AND to get started increasing your intake of Vitamin C and the important bio-flavinoid called Quercetin. Quercetin is often found combined with the pinneapple enzyme, Bromelaine. These supplements will aid your immune system to help it reduce the histimic response to the allergens. It may take a couple weeks to see the difference and by that time - the GRASS pollen will be out to cause a double whamy on some folks. So get started now! Drinking additional water is helpful at this time too- to provide the means for the body to flush the irritants out and to help it deal with the stresses of the activated immune response (that is what an allergy is.)
Be sure also- to rinse the sinuses with a neti pot on a fairly regular basis while it is high pollen season and whenever you are in smoke, pollen, dust or other particles that may cause sniffles and mucous production. When excess mucous exists in te sinus passages- it is hard to get the oxygen you need to pay attention or to sleep AND it provides a nice warm, dark place for microbes to thrive and cause you a sinus infection. Rinsing with saline water is helpful to remove the irritants and clear soe of the mucous. If you want to take it a step further, use a saline soluntion that also has essential oils in it.

Baking Soda for Colds and Flu
Posted by: | CommentsA very wise Doctor in South America sends a very nice newsletter telling of the importance of minerals and Ph balance etc. Simple things for health. Here is an exerpt from his recent news that contains “dosages” of baking soda for colds and flu- these were published back in 1925 by Arm and Hammer Company.
My guess is that these would still hold true. Combine the soda with some essential oils like Thieves, Lemon, RC, Exodus II, etc. if you want to be more secure. And don’t forget the Thieves home and hand products!
In today’s modern world of medicine the FDA just will not let companies that sell products make medical claims about them unless they have been tested at great expense and approved as a drug. But this was not always the case and as we can see in the information in this chapter, which is from a 1924 booklet,[1] published by the Arm & Hammer Soda Company. On page 12 the company starts off saying, “The proven value of Arm & Hammer Bicarbonate of Soda as a therapeutic agent is further evinced by the following evidence of a prominent physician named Dr. Volney S. Cheney, in a letter to the Church & Dwight Company:
“In 1918 and 1919 while fighting the ‘Flu’ with the U. S. Public Health Service it was brought to my attention that rarely any one who had been thoroughly alkalinized with bicarbonate of soda contracted the disease, and those who did contract it, if alkalinized early, would invariably have mild attacks. I have since that time treated all cases of ‘Cold,’ Influenza and LaGripe by first giving generous doses of Bicarbonate of Soda, and in many, many instances within 36 hours the symptoms would have entirely abated. Further, within my own household, before Woman’s Clubs and Parent-Teachers’ Associations, I have advocated the use of Bicarbonate of Soda as a preventive for “Colds,” with the result that now many reports are coming in stating that those who took “Soda” were not affected, while nearly every one around them had the “Flu.”
Recommended dosages from the Arm and Hammer Company for colds and influenza back in 1925 were:
During the first day take six doses of half teaspoonful of Arm & Hammer Bicarbonate of Soda in glass of cool water, at about two hour intervals.During the second day take four doses of half teaspoonful of Arm and Hammer Bicarbonate of Soda in glass of cool water, at the same intervals.
During the third day take two doses of half teaspoonful of Arm and Hammer Bicarbonate of Soda in glass of cool water morning and evening, and thereafter half teaspoonful in glass of cool water each morning until cold is cured.

Pandemic and Mandatory Vaccines-Is it all Hogwash?
Posted by: | CommentsMoms and Dads around the country (and the rest of the world for that matter) are wondering what is the reality of the H1N1 and all the rumors?
Once they decide what to believe, they have to determine what thier own action will be. – Vaccinate- or Not
Change Diet – or Not, use Nutrition – or Not, Chiropractic – or Not , Accupuncture Or not, Detoxing programs – or Not, Essential Oils – or Not.
Here are a few links to learn more about swine flu vaccines and updates:

My personal choice is to use essential oils daily on my body and in my home- the Thieves cleaners fo rthe home, hands and body are great! Also the Thieves hand sanitizer- eliminate organisms without encouraging antibiotic resistance.
Raindrop technique for the family is a great preventative measure also. Moms- find a class to take and learn this powerful technique.
Inner Defense and Longevity capsules are in my cabinet also. Longevity on a daily basis and Inner defense if I start feeling something coming on.
DRINK WATER! This is one of the MOST important steps one can take… along with minimzing refined foods and sugars.
Of course, exercise, laughing, music, and good nutrition will enhance the immune system too.

Vaccine- Censored Secrets
Posted by: | CommentsThis is a pretty old clip (about 9 minutes) but it speaks VOLUMES about what has been considered good science in the past and with a little thought (very little) you can see why we have so many questions related to vaccines, new disease, and how to truly achieve health.
Next time We have gifted speakers on these topics in Dallas- PLEASE be sure to attend. We are working on another visit by Dr. Gary Tunsky and April Renee.
The best way to prevent illness is to take care of the terrain. That means that what you eat, drink and do has an impact on the body’s ability to support the growth of micro-organisms that can cause disease. If you make choices to change the body’s terrain into an environment that DOES NOT support the growth of these microbes, you will not suffer the illness they are capable of creating. (This is the old argument between Louis Pasteur and Antoin Beauchamp) Here is a good article explaining the progression of germs.
If your body cannot support the disease organisms, then you have no need of these potentially lethal injections.
Learn all you can so that you can make good choices.
Afraid of Swine Flu? Focus on Building Your Immune System
Posted by: | CommentsMexico Swine Flu Deaths Spur Global Epidemic Fears
AP News Wire April 25, 2009
Centers for Disease Control Acting Director Richard Besser, …
“Centers for Disease Control headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia April 24, 2009. A strain of flu never seen before has killed up to 60 people in Mexico and has also appeared in the United States, where eight people were infected but recovered, health officials said on Friday. Other reports claim up to 1,000 Mexican people have come down with the flu. The CDC says two flu drugs, Tamiflu and Relenza, seem effective against the new strain. Roche, the maker of Tamiflu, said the company is prepared to immediately deploy a stockpile of the drug if requested.”

Focus on Building your Immune Systems
As with any disease, the germ can only take hold if the immune system is weak - This was an argument between Bechamp and Pasteur over a hundred years ago and we are only starting to recognize the correctness of Bechamp. So to protect yourselves from any disease, be sure you are well hydrated, eat less acid causing foods (ie sugar, white flour, meats), get your exercise, relax, and be sure your body has a good supply of nutritional supplementation including minerals and Probiotics. AND Essential Oils may hold a key to safe prevention of diseases without the toxicity of vaccines.

ABSTRACT STUDY REFERENCE:
Effect of a Diffused Essential Oil Blend on Bacterial Bioaerosols S.C. Chao, D.G. Young, and C.J. Oberg, Weber State University, Ogden, UT. Journal of Essential Oil Research 10, 517-523 (Sept/Oct 1998).
Abstract: A proprietary blend of oils containing cinnamon, rosemary, clove, eucalyptus, and lemon was tested for its antibacterial activity against airborne Micrococcus luteus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Staphylococcus aureus. The bacteria cultures were sprayed in an enclosed area and the essential oil blend was diffused for a given amount of time. There was an 82 percent reduction in M. luteus bioaerosol, a 96 percent reduction in the P. aeruginosa bioaerosol, and a 44 percent reduction in the S. aureus bioaerosol following 10 minutes of exposure. (Price listed at end of News along with ordering information.)
On page 129 & 130 of the (4th Edition) Essential Oils Desk Referrence, it says:
“Studies conducted at Weber State University (Ogden, UT) during 1997 demonstrated its [the essential oil blend of clove, lemon, cinnamon bark, eucalyptus radiata and rosemary] killing power against airborne microorganisms. One analysis showed a 90 percent reduction in the number of gram positive Micrococcus luteus organisms after diffusing for 12 minutes. After 20 minutes of diffusing, the kill-rate jumped to 99.3 percent. Another study against the gram negative Pseudomonas aeruginosa showed a kill rate of 99.6 percent after just 12 minutes of diffusion.” *

Dr. Terry Friedmann, M.D. Anti-Microbial Blend…”Regarding my anti-microbial formula [see below], my strong belief is that this formula should be reserved for chronic bacterial, fungal, or viral infection, or for acute viral and bacterial infections, which could “slow you down” or lead to more serious complications. In other words, use this formula only in specific serious situations rather than preventive or maintenance, because we are dealing with a “powerful battleship” here! This formula should not be given to children 10 years or younger. I believe we are facing in the near future some deadly serious infections of epidemic proportions, which may threaten millions of people. We are certainly seeing an abundance of more widespread diseases right now. Examples are the West Nile virus and the gastrointestinal diseases of the commercial cruises (e.g. Norovirus)” * ~

Toxins at the Root of Disease
Posted by: | Comments
Many health experts agree that toxins in our system are the root cause of virtually every chronic or even acute diseases. Some go so far as to say the viruses, etc do not exist on thier own, that they go through a micro-evolution in our systems when we are full of acids and toxic build up.
I will leave those detailed disputes to micro-biologists because it seems a no-brainer to me that toxic build up in our body’s systems can be at least as devastating to our health as crud in the fuel, oil or air filters is to our cars.
So what are our choices? There are many. Dedication and education is needed to more fully understand.
We Change our Air Filters and our Oil Filters!
There are different cleanses needed for different of our organ systems… Just like we have a fuel filter, an oil filter and air filter on our cars. Make sense?
Most of us have a lot of undigested food in our intestinal tract. Reports indicate that even the prep tests prior to a colonoscopy can be inadequate to clear the mucus from the walls to allow a clear picture of the whole tract.
So, my vote is to start with the gut. A good intestinal cleanse will clear the colon so that when you begin a cleanse of otehr areas, the liver, gall bladder, etc, the toxins released by those areas can be easily eliminated. This one is often also the most powerful for increasing energy and flexibility for people. (For this I like the Cleansing Trio or the 5 Day Nutritive Cleanse from Young Living . )
I also like the Raindrop Technique…. because therapeutic quality essential oils are also natural solvents, they can loosen stuck molecules from our receptor sites so that they can be released and float away on the water going through our system. (When you find a Raindrop Practitioner, be sure that they are using Young Living essential oils, these are the only American produced oils that are both pure AND tested for therapeutic quality.) Raindrop can also enhance other cleansing modalities like colon hydro-therapy or ion footbaths.
Lack of water is one of the reasons we get a build up of toxins in the first place. Think about it, you would not canoe in a dried up creek – would you? We need water to deliver nutrients into cells, to fill the cell itself and to take waste products out of the cell. Normal intake of water (NOT Coffee, soda or juice- these increase our need for water to process them) is 2 oz for each 1 pound of body weight. If you are sick, detoxing, exercising, working icrease that amount. AND here in Texas adn the Southwest we should drink nearly twice the reccommended amount simply because of the temperatures.
- We add to our toxin load with the foods we eat… antibiotics in our feed animals, chemicals on the plants, then there are presevatives and artificial flavors and MSG.
- Stress creates an acid environment in our bodies- an added toxicity level and great home for germs.
- Waste products are manufactured in each cell as it conducts metabolic processes to make energy from the food molecules. This stuff has to get out somehow.
Even with an absolutely organic diet, even in clean mountain air, our bodies still produce toxins- by-products of living- that must be eliminated. We have limited ways to do this… urine, feces, breath, sweat…. all require water and all can use some additional help. Therapeutic Quality essential oils can assist us – after- all that is what they do within the plant and they will perform the same function within our bodies.
Each of us has a different background, genetic make up and habits, so each has a different toxin combination and each will need a slightly different set of cleanses to be free of them. Again, my vote for starters is a good intestinal cleanse, and building a healthy digestive system with enzymes and probiotics.
Essential Oils are Effective Against MRSA
Posted by: | CommentsEssential oils usually used in aromatherapy have been found to kill the deadly MRSA bacteria according to research carried out at The University of Manchester, UK.
Tests revealed that three essential oils killed MRSA and E. coli as well as many other bacteria and fungi within just two minutes of contact. The oils can easily be blended and made into soaps and shampoos which could be used by hospital staff, doctors and patients in a bid to eradicate the spread of these deadly `super bugs’.
More research is needed- however, and since essential oils are natural plant products, the inability to patent them like a manufactured drug makes pharmaceutical companies hesitant to fund research into their effictiveness. Read more in Medical News Today
MRSA exists in the air and colinizes in the sinuses and sometimes on the skin of certain people. It is resistant to antibiotics. Researchers says now that it can spread in the same way as aids- only much more exaggerated sicne it is also airborne.
How to prevent it or start getting a handle on it? MRSA Watch has much information including these tips:
How can it be prevented
The media often focus on clean hospitals and clean hands as a key to combating MRSA. Others believe that this will only cut cases by 30% and that a diverse strategy is vital and will include:
- Clean Wards – especially surfaces and keyboards.
- Staff Screening – are they super carriers?
- Patient Screening – so that they can be de colonised and to avoid self infection.
- Hospital Equipment – because it can take the infection deep into a wound.
- Air Hygiene – to help prevent nasal colonisation
- Hand Hygiene – to prevent transport from patient to patient
- Antibiotic Restraint – because resistance grows from over prescription
- The Food Chain – is resistance also provoked by over use in the animals that we eat?
- Patient Isolation – this helps lesson the potential risk of airborne infection
- Lifestyle Choices – needle injected drugs and multiple sexual partners help spread chronic illnesses that emerge slowly
Some ideas include:
- Reducing antibiotics in food animals…. in Australia this was shown to reduce resistant bacteria in people.
- Use essential oils rather than commercial anti-bacterial soaps- just add the oils to a safe soap base (shower gel from Young Living is made entirely of ingredients you could eat!- don’t though it does not taste good. Those commercial ones have sweet propylene glycol in them, which can damage the kidneys, this does not.) Thieves essential oil blend is powerful and a whole line of cleaning and oral care products is available. www.ultimateantiseptics.com
- Diffuse essential oils to clean the air. (This has been successful in protecting nursing employees from MRSA in nursing homes.)
- Use essential oils, silver bandages, and other techinques in wound dressing.
- Disinfect keyboards with Thieves spray or a blend that you make yourself. Be sure to use only Therapeutic Quality oils you want a therapeutic result, not just a smell. Smells can be produced in a laboratory- like a plug-in air “freshner”.
- Rinse the sinuses with a neti pot or hydrofloss machine and a salt water mixture containing oils. See the article on sinus. Order this salt mixture here.
- Learn to protect your family by giving them Raindrop Technique treatments at home. Check for classes locally for professionals and “Mommies”
- Keep immune system strong by assuring correct spinal allignment and eliminate junk foods that create acid body.
- Do not rush to the doctor for antibiotics when you or your child gets the sniffles!
STAY AWARE! Become infomed! Mutations are occuring at an alarming rate due to vaccines, and over use of antibiotics.
