Having trouble loosing FAT? The problem could be lurking in your lymphatic system…

Our lymphatic system plays a key role in removing toxic waste produced by our body, and it impacts FAT metabolism! Here are a few things you can do to improve the health of your lymphatic system and get LEANER!

1) Get your LIVER healthier! Eat in a way that makes you feel clear headed. Make sure you supply your body with adequate nutrients like Vitamin A, Vitamin B12, Vitamin B6, and choline. Avoid alcohol in excess. The liver in return will process toxins, improve your fat metabolism, and create a new BODY for you!

2) Hidden microbial infection may occur in the liver, stomach, and LYMPHATIC system. SMART microbes like Lyme (Borrelia burgdorferi the bacterial spirochete that causes Lyme disease) and various strains of fungi can HIDE from the immune system in the lymph. A healthy diet and proper exercise will never be enough to obtain optimal health, wellness, or normal weight, for those with detrimental (and possibly unknown) infections in their lymphatic system!

3) Spleen health also plays a critical role in LYMPHATIC health. The spleen helps to filter out various substances in the lymph too. In energetic medicine, our karma is reflected in the health of our spleen. Making good karmic choices and living in a balanced way can bring more vital energy to the spleen meridian, which can POSITIVELY impact the lymphatic meridian flow.

Contact your holistic physician today to see if you have HIDDEN lymphatic infections, require a liver focused healing protocol, or need pathogenic energies removed or reoriented from the spleen meridian!

Are you HEALING? Take a break from exercise please…

Whether you are Detoxifying your body from microbial infections or too many heavy metals, your body needs HORMONES and NEUROTRANSMITTERS to do so. Here are our recommendations to help Optimize your healing protocol.

1) Minimize or CEASE regular exercise other than walking and gentle movement until your Healing program is complete. Your body needs those energy reserves to focus on removing pathogens for now. Once you have successfully completed your healing program, re-introduce exercise to build yourself back up!

2) Lay FLAT whenever possible!! The adrenal glands and nervous system in general must work harder to pump blood against gravity when we are standing. Lie down for even a minute or two and give your body more opportunity to HEAL and recover.

3) ICE for a few minutes over the kidneys, spleen or LIVER. This can create a reflexive pump of FRESH blood and Nutrients to the organs that help detoxify! 

Check with your holistic physician too see if EXERCISE would benefit or hurt your current healing regime. For more information, contact us HERE.

Remember to have Compassion and Love for Yourself. 
You too shall BLOOM in the ways that you wish to! 
Enjoy and appreciate your weekend. :)

Summer Bee Sting Remedies

All of us ‘Run for the Hills’ when bees, wasps, dirt divers, and especially hornets are around in the summer time. We would like to share some vital information (above and beyond standard first aid) for you to know about in case you get stung. 

CAUTION: Check with a trustworthy holistic physician before ingesting the following substances.

1) Royal jelly can provide precious material to our immune cells to soothe and palliate damaged cells from the neurotoxins.

2) A combination of LOCAL honey, pollen, and propolis will aid in replenishing the damaged areas with protective nutrients for the skin’s local immune cells.

3) Choline, in the form of omni-choline, will ensure your neurotransmitters are available to deal with this type of stress.

4) And of course, homeopathic and/or over-the-counter anti-histamines are invaluable in removing histamine overload in the damaged area.

All of this needs to be taken INTERNALLY!! Never apply any of this topically to a big sting or else you risk Massive Aggravation!

If you have a known allergy to this type of insect venom, use your Epi-pen and anti-histamine medication and head to the ER right away! If you are unsure whether or not you have a true allergy to bee sting venom, and experience mild-to-moderate swelling with difficulty breathing, head to the ER too!

HARMONIZE YOUR BODY TO NATURE!

Every time we take a breath, we are breathing in microbial by-products. Microbes exist on everything and anything. If our immune systems are intact, they are capable of supplying our immune systems with information on how to become stronger and more efficient.

Mother Nature gives us the ability to know when we should program our immune systems for alterations in microbial ability in our local environment. She does this primarily through the use of getting our bodies to battle microbial changes through histamine production of the thymus and spleen. Overtime, excessive histamine production can kill every cell in our body though, so a balanced approach is key!

The key to balancing this microbial battle, that primarily takes place in the sinus cavities, has to do with giving your lungs and airways a break from the same environments on almost a daily basis if at all possible. For those in an urban setting, getting exposure to various air-borne by-products within a 4-7 mile radius is ideal for providing the array of complexity that is needed to train your immune system to harmonize with your environment. Those in a rural setting will need only 3-4 miles of radius for the same effect.

Still, for this to happen in the first place, the lungs and sinuses must be FREE OF ALL PATHOGENIC INFECTIONS. If you would like to be able to harmonize your body to the microbial environment in which you live, click here to contact us.

Can your body RECYCLE Vitamin C?  

Yes, it can! Read this brief blog for a few tips on how to get your body to do it better.

Human beings and animals have access to genetic codes to improve their ability to recycle Vitamin C, Vitamin E and other nutrients as well. The ability to express that code depends on a number of factors:

1) Remove Microbial pathogens (fungus, yeast, and mold especially) from your system. These microbes will do what-ever they can to distract your body’s ability from expressing code like this. Making you require MORE Vitamin C or other nutrients to perform daily functions.

2) Energetic practitioners know that the LIVER, GALLBLADDER, and THALAMUS meridian flow can unlock many potentials of the body, especially creating new physiological/genetic changes. 

When pathogenic energies affect these meridians, new changes may not be possible DESPITE superior nutrient supplementation. Contact a reliable Energetic practitioner to reduce this pathogenic energetic load in your system.

3) Challenge your system on occasion! If you always saturate your body with plenty of anti-oxidants, you give little reason for your body to create new UNIQUE changes. Deprivation of something can challenge our body, and stimulate these new unique changes to potentially occur.

Check with your Holistic physician to see if modifying your diet to implement a day of liquid food, water-fast, juice-fast, or other dietary challenge, is SAFE and beneficial for your body at this time.

The PANCREAS represents a potential Source of ENERGETIC Abundance. In this brief blog, learn a few ways to enhance the flow of your pancreas meridian!

1) Remove the pathogenic energies from the Pancreas, Spleen, and Left Ventricle meridians. Aside from these locations being prime Karmic inhibition areas, these areas can unleash energy and ability for the body! This can only be done through reliable energetic practitioners.

2) Several nutrients get used up by the body when STRESS is high. Chromium, Pantothenic Acid, and Vitamin C are critical for direct or indirect pancreas health and function. When combined with effective energetic treatment, these nutrients can be the exact thing to boost your energy from moderate to HIGH!

3) Muscle injuries to the levator scapulae (neck), latissimus dorsi (shoulder & back), and gastrocnemius (calf) MUSCLES will place a particular stress on the pancreas meridian. Good Holistic Physicians will be able to stimulate the healing of these specific muscle injuries. Even massage therapists will overlook attention to minor muscle injuries!
