			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What else can our mind do to our body?</p>
<p>If you are in a dangerous situation what happens to you, how do you feel? For example think of a time when you almost had a car accident and in a split second you were safe. What happened to your body, your breathing? Your muscles tense, your heart races and beats faster, and your breathing is fast.</p>
<p>This is your body&#8217;s natural instinct to react with this fear. This is instinct. Emotions now are similar but different. They are your body&#8217;s response to a thought. So for example you are begin to worry about your daughter who hasn&#8217;t come home and you begin to think about the freeway she is driving on and then imagine a horrible accident. Your heart beats faster, your muscles are tense and your breathing is faster.</p>
<p> To the body a thought like this of fear and worry means danger and the body responds accordingly. &#8220;Although the body is very intelligent, it cannot tell the difference between an actual situaltion and a thought. It reacts to every thought as if it were a reality.&#8221; Eckart Tolle</p>
<p>This is all a mental game, not real, but it is producing a lot of bodily functions to change. Over time what happens to all this negative energy in our body?</p>
<p> I had to learn this lesson to survive my cancer. My mind was controlling my life, my health, my body, my spirit. And all the thoughts were not even real. As a cancer survivor speaker I use my story of learning this and healing to help others see and feel and change their thinking too.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>FEAR FEAR FEAR&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;</strong></p>
<p>How do I deal with the never ending fear associated with a cancer diagnosis?  (not just for cancer but for all our fears)</p>
<p>Just the word cancer brings up a huge energy of fear in everyone&#8230;we have come to know the word and the dreaded consequences of it.  Cancer seems to be everywhere&#8230;.it touches everyones life&#8230;its scary!!  We begin to believe if I get cancer its a death sentence.  Its not&#8230;.but we hold these beliefs and fears about cancer within us.</p>
<p>If you are going through treatment for cancer it is a never ending state of fear&#8230;is the treatment working?</p>
<p>Will my cancer cells die?  Will it come back?  Will I be sick?  What will happen to my kids, spouse, family? How am I going to pay for all this?  What if I can&#8217;t work?  What if I lose my job?  What if I die?</p>
<p>And the list goes on and on&#8230;.Can you feel the above words&#8230;how much fear and how you can spiral into millions of questions and more and more fear?</p>
<p>It is like a vicious circle feeding off itself&#8230;creating more and more of the fearful thoughts and scenerios.</p>
<p>This is common and can happen&#8230;.but it is very important to have tools to shift yourself out of that energy into a higher energy.  Your body can heal, there are many treatments and options available,  and you have to work on staying in a higher vibration of energy for your body to heal.  Your body can&#8217;t heal in a low energy state.</p>
<p>If you noticed all the questions above have to do with what might happen&#8230;..none of them are happening now&#8230;they are something that could happen in the future&#8230;.SO they are not even real.</p>
<p>Your mind creates thoughts which can rule your life&#8230;.it can create monstrosities&#8230;&#8230;</p>
<p>You have two options&#8230;&#8230;continue to think about all these fearful things that may happen in the future&#8230;which wastes all your healing energy&#8230;..</p>
<p>OR</p>
<p>Notice all these thoughts and DECIDE&#8230;that you don&#8217;t know what is going to happen in the future and thinking, thinking, thinking and becoming more fearful is wasting your time and precious energy.  The energy you want to heal.</p>
<p>You choose&#8230;&#8230;.</p>
<p>If you choose to use your energy for healing&#8230;try this&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;..</p>
<p>Focus your attention in your body as much as possible.  Feel it from within.  Is there life in your hands, feet, arms, chest, etc.?  Can you feel energy flowing through your body?  Stay focussed on your inner body.  Notice the pulsating energy flowing through all your cells and organ&#8230;this is what gives you life&#8230;Feel it deeply.  Feel your body alive.</p>
<p>Your focus on the inner body has freed your mind&#8230;&#8230;.this will help you so you won&#8217;t lose yourself in your mind.  You will still have thoughts, emotions, fears, etc. but they won&#8217;t take you over.</p>
<p>Practice this every day for a week and you will be amazed at how you feel.  Many times a day, refocus yourself back into your inner body and feel it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is a direct message from our angels I received as a gift&#8230;..It is a gift to share with everyone!</p>
<p>In thinking about what I was told, the truth rang out to me.  See how it feels to you.</p>
<p>This is a human dilemna&#8230;.we live with so much fear that separates us from our inherit greatness.</p>
<p>You can insert any word in the place of &#8220;illness&#8221; and it still feels true to me.  So whatever it is you are dealing with, take these wise words and use them in your life&#8230;&#8230;.</p>
<p>&#8220;Yes I am your angel &amp; I am with thee at your side. I have heard your question about fear &#8230;.</p>
<p>You fear what you can not see and you separate yourself from what it is that you are&#8230;which is  pure light  and oneness with that light.</p>
<p>You go outside of yourself and allow yourself to feel the unknown as fear.  </p>
<p>You are the light of awareness separating yourself from the light of Christ<br />
and holding on to what you fear&#8230;&#8230; illness and loneliness and freedom. &#8221;<br />
 <br />
&#8220;How do you let go of these things we hold on to?&#8221; </p>
<p>&#8220;You need to speak to the part of yourself that knows who you are and what you are.  Believe you are well&#8230;&#8230;.. believe you are hope&#8230;&#8230;.. and believe you are righteousness in what you are as a human. </p>
<p>You are not your illness, but you still believe you are.   You need to go within and tell your  illness to be gone in the name of  love and feel yourself release that fear of illness that you believe is part of what you are.</p>
<p>You are not the illness&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;.you are the butterfly that waits to be released from the hold that you have put on yourself.    You are within the cocoon of freedom waiting to be set free!!!!!</p>
<p>Speak to yourself  and say &#8220;I release you in the name of love&#8221; .  Release it into Gods Hands with love.</p>
<p>Separate yourself from the illness, you are not alone. The angels are with you!  Take this and make this real.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Cancer &#8211; Turn It On or Turn It Off</p>
<p>America has one of the highest cancer rates in the world, and cancer is the most dreaded disease in our society. Once rare, affecting less than one in a thousand, by 1900 cancer affected 30 in a thousand. Today almost 500 in a thousand will develop cancer in their lifetimes. The situation has become so bad that almost all Americans over the age of 50 have cancer!</p>
<p>For example, it is known that after age 50, 40 percent of men have prostate cancer and 40 percent of women have breast cancer, and these are just two cancers. Cancer is also increasing among children and, after accidents, it is their biggest killer.</p>
<p>We need to teach people how to prevent and reverse this tragic disease.  Unfortunately, modern medicine is of no help. Since 1971, when President Nixon declared “war” on cancer, we have thrown 200 billion dollars at cancer research. What has this money bought us? More cancer! The public has yet to grasp the colossal gap between how much money the cancer industry is spending, and the paltry results it is achieving. Research is only part of the billion dollar-a-day cancer industry whose treatments with drugs, surgery and radiation are not only ineffective but dangerous.</p>
<p>These conventional treatments do nothing to address what caused the cancer, and they suppress the immune system. Suppressed immunity allows cancer to grow and metastasize—modern medicine’s treatment of cancer promotes cancer!</p>
<p>Fortunately, we can protect ourselves. If you are over age 50, you are probably past preventing cancer, you already have it! Now you need to keep it under control. Don’t turn the cancer on, and if you already have active cancer, turn it off.</p>
<p>Can this be done? Sure it can, and it is done every day by people who take charge of their health.</p>
<p> Last September, businessman Paul Orberson told his story on the Beyond Health radio show. Mr. Orberson had been diagnosed with advanced kidney cancer. Given only months to live, he read my book Never Be Sick Again—and put his cancer into remission. Fifteen years ago, my brother was diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer and given months to live. He, too, put his cancer into remission and is living a high-quality life. Medical school professor and author Dr. Lorraine Day reversed her highlyadvanced breast cancer. There are countless such stories.</p>
<p> To prevent and reverse cancer, it helps to understand something about what causes and promotes cancer. The cancer process occurs in three stages: initiation, promotion and metastasis. Initiation Cancer begins with damaged genes. Initiation occurs when the DNA in a normal cell is damaged. If the DNA is not repaired before the cell divides to form a new cell, it results in a permanent genetic alteration in those new cells. DNA can be damaged by a variety of means, including viruses, chronic infections, foreign bodies, nutrient deficiency, radiation and toxic chemicals. Numerous natural and manmade chemicals have been identified as carcinogenic. Upon exposure, these chemicals can, in a matter of minutes, cause potentially permanent damage to DNA. Such chemicals include many common household chemicals, pesticides, herbicides, food additives, fluoride and metals such as mercury and lead.  We live in a sea of carcinogens and must learn how to avoid them.</p>
<p>Radiation is carcinogenic; it damages DNA. This is why mammograms cause breast cancer, and why medical X-rays play a major role in our cancer epidemic. Due to our exposure to carcinogenic chemicals and X-rays, most of our older population and many of our younger people have completed this initiation, and they have clusters of cancer cells throughout their bodies. This stage of cancer is not believed to be reversible. Given the right conditions, these cells will grow and then metastasize. Preventing Initiation DNA is being damaged and cancer is being initiated on a grand scale. Our best defense is to support DNA repair with good nutrition while avoiding carcinogenic chemicals and radiation. We have been irresponsibly exposed to radiation by our doctors and dentists. Decline routine X-rays. Allow only those that are absolutely necessary, and there are very few of those.</p>
<p>We have been exposed to DNA-damaging viruses through vaccinations.</p>
<p>Avoid vaccinations. Vaccine-induced, DNA-damaging viruses are showing up in a variety of cancers including lymph, lung, brain and bone.</p>
<p>Avoid foods that have been heated to high temperatures, such as barbecued meat, as this causes formation of powerful carcinogens. Any food that has been blackened is dangerous, including toast.</p>
<p>Avoid peanuts and corn products as these are often high in aflatoxins, which are potent carcinogens. Fluoride can inhibit DNA-repair enzymes.</p>
<p>Avoid fluoridated water, toothpaste and processed foods.</p>
<p>Beyond Health has approved a reverse osmosis system that effectively removes fluoride. Defects in DNA repair will increase the risk of developing cancer after being exposed to X-rays and chemicals. Certain nutrients are known to support the DNA repair process. These include vitamins B3, B6, B12, and folate, zinc and L-carnitine. Most Americans are deficient in one or more of these nutrients.</p>
<p>According to the USDA, 73 percent of Americans are deficient in zinc, and 40 percent are deficient in B12. To optimize DNA repair, eat a diet rich in fresh, organic vegetables and fruits, and take high-quality nutritional supplements. Everyone should, at the very least, be on a superior vitamin/mineral formula.</p>
<p>The next step in the cancer process is promotion. This is when a small cluster of initiated cancer cells grows larger. These cells will not grow unless a precise group of conditions are met, allowing their growth-control mechanisms to be overridden.</p>
<p>Certain foods are known to promote tumor growth and spread. Sugar, excess omega-6 oils and excess animal protein all promote cancer. Cancer cells differ from normal cells in that they are totally dependent on sugar to produce energy. So raising the sugar content of the blood feeds cancer cells and helps them grow. In addition, increased blood insulin is a powerful promoter of tumor growth and spread. Oils high in omega-6s such as corn, safflower, sunflower, peanut, soybean and canola oils are known to support cancer progression. Never eat these oils, or any of the thousands of products made with them, including baked goods and salad dressings.</p>
<p>Perhaps the most significant factor of all is animal protein and most especially dairy protein. Animal protein, beyond what can be used for growth and daily repairs, promotes cancer, and the average American eats ten times too much. Excess animal protein is able to turn cancer on in experimental animals 100 percent of the time! A high-protein diet increases estrogen, and excess estrogen is known to promote a number of cancers. Protein also acidifies the body and cancer thrives in an acid environment. Animal protein also contains large amounts of the amino acid methionine. Excess methionine is known to be a cancer promoter. Preventing and Reversing Promotion Cancer promotion can be reversed.</p>
<p>By eliminating cancer promoters and maximizing cancer inhibitors, it is possible to turn cancer off! We know fresh fruits and vegetables are cancer inhibitors—eat lots of them. We know that sugar, omega-6 oils and animal protein promote cancer—avoid them. Omega-6 oils not only promote cancer, they also suppress the immune system. Eat plenty of omega-3 oils to offset this effect; supplement with flax and fish oils.</p>
<p>Turn cancer off by avoiding animal protein; this means avoiding meat, eggs, dairy and fish except in very small quantities. Avoid fruit juices; they contain too much easily-absorbable sugar. Cancer is highly iron dependent. Avoid iron-rich foods such as red meat. Avoiding fluoride is also important as fluoride can increase tumor growth by 25 percent. Fat soluble toxins bioaccumulate in the body. Their synergistic effect can be a powerful cancer promoter.</p>
<p>The average person is accumulating hundreds of such chemicals, including pesticides, styrene, PCBs, dioxins, phthalates and fire retardants. The only reliable way to get rid of them is with regular saunas, which have become as necessary as regular exercise.</p>
<p>Chronic stress substantially increases free radical formation and also severely depresses the immune system. Both promote cancer. Using stress-reducing techniques such as meditation are important.</p>
<p>Metastasis The final stage of cancer is when it invades neighboring or distant tissues. Once again, a precise set of conditions must be met to allow this to happen. This stage of cancer causes death, but it too is reversible. Preventing Metastasis When cancer cells enter the blood stream and get transported to other locations, they become very vulnerable to attack by the immune system. Strong immunity is critical to prevention. Cancer cells require special enzymes to invade other tissues. Studies have found that inhibiting these enzymes stops the spread of the cancer.</p>
<p>Plant flavonols found in fruits and vegetables, such as quercitin and luteolin, are known to interfere with these enzymes. Nutrition Eating lots of fruits and vegetables is probably the single most important thing you can do to prevent or reverse cancer. Evidence is overwhelming that common vitamins, minerals and plant chemicals interfere with the cancer process at every level. Many chemicals found in plant foods are capable of turning cancer cells back into normal cells. Certain flavonoids found in vegetables have been found to suppress and even to kill cancer cells. In fact, food and nutritional supplements have a far more powerful effect on cancer than chemotherapy.</p>
<p>Since almost all Americans are deficient in vitamins and minerals, supplements are necessary. Here is a list of the nutrients known to inhibit cancer: vitamins A, all the Bs, C, D, E, beta carotene, choline, selenium, acetyl L-carnitine, alpha lipoic acid, zinc, magnesium, flavonoids and omega-3 oils. Nutrition improves immunity. Immune cells have a higher metabolic rate, and therefore, need more nutrients. Water soluble nutrients such as B vitamins and vitamin C are not stored well in the body and need constant replacement. When this does not happen, immunity is quickly affected. Whenever the immune system responds to a threat, billions of immune cells are needed quickly. These cells will be limited by the amount of nutrients available for their construction. Any vitamin or mineral deficiency will quickly be felt, impairing immunity. </p>
<p> The bad news is that cancer is an out-of-control epidemic. The good news is that cancer is a complex disease requiring the successful completion of many steps to make it happen—this provides us with multiple opportunities for its prevention and reversal. The most powerful preventive and healing tools are fresh fruits and vegetables plus high quality supplements.</p>

Write your thoughts and feelings down in a journal:<br />
Keeping a diary or journal may help you understand and find meaning in what is happening in your life.<br />
You are free to write about anything you like, including:<br />
• Feelings<br />
• Relationships<br />
• Hopes and fears<br />
• Your life after treatment<br />
• What it means to you to be a cancer survivor<br />
• Your plans for the present and the future</p>
<p>You may find the process of journaling helps you recognize areas in your life that you can feel good about and areas that you want to change.</p>
<p>Find a quiet, comfortable spot to do your writing. Spend as much time writing as you want. You can write several pages, a couple of lines or even just one word to express how you feel or what you are thinking.  Understand what&#8217;s important in your life:</p>
<p>Make a list of what is important to you, such as your goals, dreams and what you hope for in the future.<br />
• You could have a short-term list related to the next few days or weeks and a long-term list related to the next month or year.<br />
• You can decide what is most important to you on the list and try to accomplish those things first.</p>
<p>Create a plan of action:<br />
• From the list you have created, pick at least one or two of the short-term items and make a plan of action for how you can accomplish them. For example, you might have on your list something related to wanting to enjoy life more.<br />
• The plan of action might be that you would do at least one thing each day that brings you joy. This could be sitting quietly while enjoying a cup of tea, going for a walk in the park, playing a musical instrument or soaking in the bathtub.<br />
• Also, you can pick one or two long-term items. For example you might want to learn more about a specific topic.<br />
• The plan of action could be to get a class brochure for a local community college or to look for courses online.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Vitamin D for Bones, Breasts and Body Building: Every Woman&#8217;s Guardian Angel</p>
<p>Did you know that a Vitamin D deficiency can lead to many different diseases and health problems in women? It&#8217;s one of the most important building blocks our body has. Without enough Vitamin D. many of a woman&#8217;s systems are missing an important ingredient. And it&#8217;s easy to get enough Vitamin D. You just have to pay attention! We hear about the importance of calcium for our bones, but the benefits of Vitamin D are just as important if not more so. They do work together. Vitamin D is so important to women, especially as we age, that it could even be called a woman&#8217;s guardian angel. It is now considered one of the most important supplements to monitor and frankly, it is very difficult for an active woman to get too much of it.</p>
<p>Benefits of Vitamin D, Your Breasts&#8217; Best Friend</p>
<p>Vitamin D deficiencies often occur in women who don&#8217;t get out in the sun much (less than 10 minutes of direct sunlight per day), who have kidney problems or whose body has a hard time processing Vitamin D from food. A Vitamin D deficiency can lead to osteoporosis, frequent broken bones (especially hip), weak muscles, and can possibly increase the risk of some cancers.</p>
<p>Some steroids taken for medical conditions in women may slow or stop the body&#8217;s ability to absorb the benefits of Vitamin D from the sun. A doctor can counteract this by suggesting a change in diet or adding supplements that are high in Vitamin D. Unfortunately, there were few studies about Vitamin D until recently; and more information is expected based upon current studies. It is now believed that there may have been more health risks caused by Vitamin D deficiencies than have been formerly thought.</p>
<p>Recent studies have determined that it&#8217;s almost impossible to overdose on Vitamin D and current research is still working to determine how much is too much. It&#8217;s now believed that women can safely ingest up to 4000 to 8000 IU&#8217;s supplemental Vitamin D per day with great benefit. In fact most women it now appears absolutely need that much more than their current diets and sun exposure are giving them.</p>
<p>Most women will not be able to get enough Vitamin D unless they regularly eat a lot of cod liver oil, salmon, mackerel or sardines that are canned in oil. Some dietary supplements or weight loss pills can be high in Vitamin D, so women should check the levels before starting a new product. Many women do get basically what they need of Vitamin D through food and sun exposure. This is especially true for women who spend a lot of time in the sun wearing sun block that is less than SPV 8. These women are getting Vitamin D sun exposure naturally through their skin, which is the best way of getting Vitamin D into a body. But most women have been warned by dermatologists to wear no less than SPV 15 sunblock. That amount of sunblock unfortunately keeps a woman&#8217;s body from experiencing the positive effects of sun exposure and the levels needed to metabolize and create usable vitamin D in their systems.</p>
<p>Even though researches haven&#8217;t studied benefits of Vitamin D extensively, there is evidence that Vitamin D has many benefits to a women&#8217;s health that have not yet been fully appreciated. Proper levels of Vitamin D can help a women&#8217;s body fight MS, mild depression, many forms of cancers, arthritis, chronic pain and even premenstrual syndrome. Some people even believe that Vitamin D guards against breast cancer. While there aren&#8217;t thorough studies that prove the breast cancer guardian theory quite yet, studies of people with cancers such as lung and colon cancer reveal Vitamin D deficiencies.</p>
<p>One of the problems with Vitamin D is that nobody knows exactly how much Vitamin D a woman should get in a day. Researches have yet to develop an optimum level of Vitamin D. To do so, they will have to factor in the sun. They do believe that women who live in areas of decreased sunlight during the winter months don&#8217;t get anywhere near the level of Vitamin D that they should in a day. For instance, Canadians are encouraged to take a regular amount of Vitamin D daily in the form of Vitamin D supplements.</p>
<p>One thing seems to be clear in the research that has been done: increased supplementation of Vitamin D can only benefit women. We now know that vitamin D, perhaps the breast&#8217;s best friend, may also be the body&#8217;s best protection against many different cancers and other illnesses. In short, Vitamin D is a cancer fighter and is one of a woman&#8217;s most beneficial guardian angels.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>YOU are in control of your destiny!!!  Its not something or someone doing it to you&#8230;</p>

<p>These are simple habits to help you open the door to your heart and create the changes you want in your life. </p>

<p>      Take your mind out only when you need it.     You are not your mind&#8230;&#8230;Let your spirit out.  </p>
<p>2.   Your feelings and emotions are your God given guidance system to help guide you along your life&#8217;s journey.</p>
<p>      Follow the guidance of your heart and emotions.  </p>
<p>      Whatever you are doing, thinking, deciding, etc..ask the question&#8230;&#8230;Does it feel good&#8230;or not???</p>
<p>      Pay attention!! </p>
<p>3.   Journal each day- let your spirit out, uncover it again.  Write from your heart not your head. </p>
<p>4.   What are you grateful for today? </p>
<p>5.   Be aware what you are feeling, thinking, believing and doing&#8230;..</p>
<p>      Awarenes is key to opening to new, exciting possibilities and change.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Do you ever wonder why others treat you badly or wrong you in some way?  We often think it is something wrong with them and tend to blame.  How can we use it to benefit ourselves and our health?</p>
<p>Throughout our lives we have acquired behavior and actions as a result of our environment, from our parents, teachers, friends.  We may have watched our parents interactions and through them made assumptions about how to behave in a marriage and home.  We make assumptions on what is acceptable behavior and what isn&#8217;t.  Often we are quite unaware of how we take on others actions, until we find ourselves in a similar situation and we see ourselves acting just as our parents did.</p>
<p>We have to choices&#8230;be aware of it..take note and ask, Isn&#8217;t that interesting?  Why am I acting like that?</p>
<p>Or we can completely ignore it and continue living.  This behavior will continue to crop up in our lives and relationships until we take notice.</p>
<p>It is usually an emotion that you will feel that will grab your attention.  If anger or sadness or despair show up within you, it is a clear sign for you to take notice.  Our emotions are there to help guide us through our life, they serve a big purpose.  Emotions that you become aware of are also a great opportunity for you to shift and grow and be all you can be.</p>
<p>Recently I experienced this in action.  In a pleasant conversation, I made a causal statement that didn&#8217;t sit well with an aquaintance.  It stirred something in them and I was completely unaware of any emotion behind it.  They lashed out in anger and name calling.  I was stunned.  Isn&#8217;t this interesting?  What is this all about?</p>
<p>Immediately I felt the behavior was inappropriate and couldn&#8217;t believe someone would respond in that manner.  I felt sadness, confusion, and anger.  And then I remembered, this is an opportunity to look at my emotions and where they are guiding me.</p>
<p>All emotions are energy.  Everything is energy, our bodies, the universe, food, actions, etc.  If we choose to ignore the energy (emotion) where does it go?  We can sometimes store it within us.  This negative energy stored within us over time can cause lots of pain and suffering.  Blocked energy in our body is the source of disease.  Then in the future when faced with a similar emotion or situation, that energy we stored in our body can get activated and come streaming out of us. </p>
<p>Have you ever responded to something someone said something someone does in anger or sadness (or any emotion) and later wondered, Where did that come from?  Probably from stored past energy/emotion within you.</p>
<p>So I had an opportunity to look at this emotion within me.  Where did it come from?  Could I feel it in my body?  I felt it in my heart area.  Then I asked myself, has there been a time in my life where I overreacted and lashed out in anger or name calling?  And of course there have been times.  Then I felt this feeling and wondered what it would feel like it all that anger or name calling energy was gone.  It would feel free, light, compassionate and love.  I then filled my body with this energy of lightness and light and love.  I felt a change in my body and my emotions.</p>
<p>Every moment is an opportunity to grow into the divine beings we already are.  Disease is an opportunity to move from what we don&#8217;t want to what we do.  It is an opportunity to explore our emotions and our body and release all that is no longer serving us..</p>
<p>We are moving toward EASE in every moment.  Don&#8217;t let the moment pass by that you don&#8217;t take the opportunity to look at your emotions coming up and explore the stored energy within you.  As we move through this life we can release the pain and suffering we carry with us one moment at a time.  This is life.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Heal yourself in 15 days by Recognizing your Innate Healing Power (part two)</strong><strong></strong></p>
<p>by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor</p>
<p>When you scrape your elbow, a bit of blood oozes out to clean the wound and wash away bacteria. It then forms a protective scab that keeps out invading microorganisms while your skin has a chance to heal underneath. There, some real magic takes place: Your skin cells innately recognize the need to divide and grow to fill the wound. A cancer-like process is unleashed at the cellular level, activating nearby cells to divide and grow. Your DNA is replicated in the nucleus of each cell with the help of some of the most astounding nanotechnology every witnessed in human civilization. (The best scientists in the world can&#8217;t even come close to recreating it.)</p>
<p>As your cells multiply, nutrients and building blocks are carried to them through a blood supply that adapts to the particular size and shape of the wound. If a blood vessel was destroyed in your accident, the growth of new blood vessels is spontaneously initiated to take their place, and they grow into the tissues within mere hours.</p>
<p>As your skin cells fill in the previous wound, the replication effort is delicately turned off, one by one, so that replicating skin cells don&#8217;t keep replicating beyond what they need to &#8212; a process that would cause the creation of a skin tumor. Your body&#8217;s cells know exactly when to grow and exactly when to turn off, and when it&#8217;s all said and done, you&#8217;re left with a perfect replacement for the skin you previously lost.</p>
<p><strong>Completely automatic healing</strong></p>
<p>The truly amazing part of all this is not the cancer-like processes that are delicately controlled by your body wisdom; it&#8217;s not even the fact that your body has the ability to re-grow lost cells &#8212; it&#8217;s the fact that <strong>all this takes place without any conscious involvement on your part</strong>.</p>
<p>Healing yourself is <em>automatic</em>, in other words. You don&#8217;t have to direct blood to the wound, direct the cells to start replicating, direct the molecular waste products to be carried away and decide when cell replication should be stopped. All this happens without your involvement &#8212; even without your awareness! Much of it happens while you sleep, in fact. While your conscious mind is dreaming, your innate body wisdom is working the biochemistry and energetic transformations necessary to repair your tissues.</p>
<p><strong>You can&#8217;t stop this process even if you wanted to</strong>. You could try to focus all your mental power on your skin not healing, and yet your skin would heal itself anyway.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s because <strong>your body is a powerful <a href="http://www.sheilaulrich.com/" target="_blank">self-healing</a> organism</strong>. It heals itself automatically, innately, without your conscious awareness or involvement. Your ability to heal yourself is so powerful that <strong>you can&#8217;t stop yourself from healing!</strong></p>
<p><strong>Why we don&#8217;t always heal</strong></p>
<p>If this is true, then why aren&#8217;t you healing everything else? Why aren&#8217;t you always in perfect <a href="http://www.sheilaulrich.com/blog/cancer-support.htm" target="_blank">health</a>? The answer, as you&#8217;ve seen throughout this article series, is because we tend to erect barriers to our own healing. And we often misread the <a href="http://www.sheilaulrich.com/blog/" target="_blank">symptoms </a>of sickness that are asking for help, &#8220;treating&#8221; them in a way that makes the situation worse.</p>
<p>Fact: Many &#8220;symptoms of <a href="http://www.sheilaulrich.com/blog/" target="_blank">disease&#8221; </a>are actually the result of your body&#8217;s attempt to heal itself.</p>
<p>For example, most people are chronically <strong>dehydrated</strong>. They don&#8217;t consume enough high-quality water. Because water is so vital for proper blood composition, when your body lacks sufficient quantities of water intake, it begins to take action <em>to reduce water loss</em>.</p>
<p>A significant portion of the water loss experienced by the body each day is lost through <em>respiration</em> &#8212; a bit of water vapor is exhaled with each breath. So to conserve water, your body attempts to reduce water loss during respiration by constricting your bronchial tubes through the creation of <em>histamines</em>.</p>
<p>These histamines constrict breathing, making it more physically difficult. Modern (western) medicine misdiagnoses this as a disease called &#8220;asthma&#8221; rather than the true underlying cause which is often simply <strong>dehydration</strong>. So instead of prescribing water, which would solve the underlying water shortage and end the body&#8217;s creation of histamines, western doctors prescribe <em>anti-histamine drugs</em> that force the bronchial tubes to relax and ease air flow. This, of course, promotes further dehydration, leaving the patient in a more severe state of water loss.</p>
<p>So you see, the body is attempting to heal itself, and the symptom of histamine production is a <em>mechanism</em> by which the body is attempting to heal, but it is misinterpreted by western medicine and then made worse by misguided interventions.</p>
<p><strong>Blood pressure</strong></p>
<p>Another good example of this is <strong>high blood pressure</strong>. High blood pressure is often caused by something I refer to as &#8220;sludge blood&#8221; &#8212; blood that&#8217;s too thick and viscous to flow freely through the body&#8217;s small capillaries. So in order to make sure good circulation is taking place, the heart has to pump harder, thereby raising blood pressure. This is the body&#8217;s way of making sure this thick blood reaches all the cells throughout the body (cells that don&#8217;t receive blood will die, and that&#8217;s bad).</p>
<p>But healthy blood shouldn&#8217;t be so viscous. It should flow more freely, with less friction. When blood is properly hydrated and nourished with the right fatty acids (more omega-3s in particular), the heart does not need to work as hard to pump it throughout the body, so blood pressure automatically drops. (It&#8217;s like the difference between sucking water through a straw versus sucking honey through a straw&#8230; the more sticky and thick the honey, the more pressure it takes to move it.)</p>
<p>Western medicine completely misdiagnoses this situation and says that &#8220;high blood pressure&#8221; is itself a disease. And this high blood pressure is attacked with drugs that <em>artificially</em> lower blood pressure by forcing artery walls to relax.</p>
<p>As you might have guessed, this then immediately causes circulation problems because the thick sludge blood is no longer reaching all the cells it needs to reach. That&#8217;s why people who take high blood pressure medications very often end up with <strong>circulation problems</strong>. Their underlying problem of &#8220;sludge blood&#8221; remains unresolved.</p>
<p>Symptoms such as high blood pressure as your body&#8217;s way of communicating with you to address the underlying causes. In the majority of cases, patients with high blood pressure simply need more water, more living nutrients (such as raw living plant juices), more omega-3 fatty acids and a sharp reduction in the consumption of animal products. Within as little as five days after embracing such changes, blood pressure normalizes as the blood itself becomes more hydrated and free to flow throughout the circulatory system.</p>
<p>Your body knows all this. Western doctors know none of it. High Blood Pressure is treated as a disease unto itself with virtually no thought given to what underlying causes might be creating this measurable symptom.</p>
<p><strong>Your body is trying to heal itself all the time</strong></p>
<p>Both &#8220;asthma&#8221; and &#8220;high blood pressure&#8221; are fictional diseases. In other words, they don&#8217;t really exist as self-contained, standalone diseases. They are merely <strong>symptoms</strong> of something else that your body is attempting to balance.</p>
<p>In order to activate your body&#8217;s innate healing potential, you must learn to <em>listen to what your body is really asking for</em> and give it those things instead of intervening with chemical medications, surgeries and toxic therapies like chemotherapy.</p>
<p>Western medicine misinterprets virtually all expressions of physiology. If you wish to be healthy, you must learn to reinterpret your body&#8217;s messages in alignment with the true principles of health. Difficulty in breathing, for example, may simply be a sign of dehydration. High blood pressure may be a sign of dehydration or poor diet.</p>
<p>Cancer is a sign of cellular miscommunication. A tumor is a sign that cells in your body aren&#8217;t getting the right message of when to stop dividing. (A tumor is merely a wayward cell that keeps dividing.) Cellular communication can be reestablished through changes in diet, environment, mental state and proper exposure to sunlight (among other things).</p>
<p>So keep in mind that your body is always trying to heal itself. &#8220;Symptoms&#8221; of disease are often just cries for help from your own biology. The wise patient listens to those cries for help, attempts to understand what they mean, and addresses them through self-care. The unwise patient attempts to silence symptoms through chemical intervention: Pain killers, chemical pharmaceuticals, surgery and other interventions. Western doctors are not trained in proper symptom interpretation and rebalancing. They are only trained in symptom &#8220;management&#8221; which means reducing symptoms through artificial intervention.</p>
<p><strong>Why you are such a self-healing miracle</strong></p>
<p>Your body is one of Mother Nature&#8217;s most miraculous accomplishments. You possess unbelievably complex nanotechnology in your <a href="http://www.sheilaulrich.com/blog/Integrative-medicine.htm" target="_blank">immune system</a>. Your neurology exceeds the capabilities of the most advanced supercomputers in the world. Your sensory systems contain technology so advanced that even the most well-funded laboratories in the world don&#8217;t have machines that can match what you have right in your nose.</p>
<p>Your reproductive system is a miracle of life; your bones are astounding structural engineering feats (or feets!); and your internal organs such as your heart and liver actually store their own memories and emotions. We know this because organ donor recipients often take on the memories and experiences of those from which the organs were originally harvested.</p>
<p>In other words, <strong>you are a miracle of nature</strong>, and your body has such powerful healing potential available to itself right now that the only way you can even stop the healing is to interfere with it (with pharmaceuticals, for example).</p>
<p>And yet, sadly, that&#8217;s what most people do: They numb their bodies with painkiller medications. They shut down their immune systems with chemotherapy. They shock their neurology with vaccines containing inflammatory chemicals. They interfere, override and interject all sorts of artificial chemicals, procedures and unnatural therapies. <strong>This is what shuts off healing</strong>. This is what leaves patients unable to heal in the way they are capable of healing &#8212; automatically, unconsciously and with zero effort.</p>
<p>So if you really want to heal yourself, first recognize that <strong>you are a miraculous self-healing organism</strong>. And secondly, recognize that if healing is not happening, it may very well be because you have inadvertently interfered with the healing process by introducing artificial chemicals or other elements that hold your healing potential prisoner.</p>
<p><strong>Attaining health requires allowing healing to take place</strong></p>
<p>Healthy people aren&#8217;t healthy just because they eat superfoods and drink living juices all day long. They are healthy because they <em>avoid</em> poisoning their bodies with pharmaceuticals, artificial sweeteners, MSG and other processed food ingredients. They avoid the chemicals in cosmetics, personal care products, household cleaning products and lawn care products. They avoid consuming meat from animals who have been pumped full of hormones and antibiotics. They keep their bodies as free from pollution as possible, and as a result, <em>their innate healing powers are always working for them!</em></p>
<p>You have exactly the same healing potential as I do. Your body can heal itself from <a href="http://www.sheilaulrich.com/blog/cancer-support.htm" target="_blank">cancer</a>, from diabetes, from heart disease and from other &#8220;made-up&#8221; disease names like asthma and high blood pressure. All that&#8217;s really required is for you to embrace the healing potential you already possess, and then avoid all those things that interfere with it.</p>
<p>If you believe in God and Creation, then take comfort in the idea that your body is created in God&#8217;s image, meaning that you are a perfect healing being as is He.</p>
<p>If you believe in evolution and Darwinism, then take comfort in the idea that your body is the result of millions of years of evolution that have given you a successful, proven DNA blueprint for preventing sickness and disease &#8212; long before vaccines and western medicine ever came along.</p>
<p>No matter what your philosophical approach, either way you still believe that your body is an amazing self-healing organism. And that&#8217;s good news because it means you already have the blueprint for powerful healing.</p>
<p>Now simply activate it!</p>
