<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14pt;">
<b>Bowen Therapy</b>, also known as the<i> Bowen Technique,</i> is a holistic and non-invasive form of bodywork that aims to promote healing and balance within the body. Developed by the Australian Tom Bowen in the 1950s, this gentle therapy is based on the idea that the body has the inherent ability to heal itself when given the right stimulus. The technique involves a series of precise and gentle rolling movements, often called a "pluck", over specific areas: muscles, tendons, and connective tissues, and in specific patterns.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: black; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 24px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; margin: 0.1pt 0in; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 12px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14pt;"> </span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: black; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 24px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; margin: 0.1pt 0in; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 12px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14pt;">The key principle behind this treatment is the concept of the body's fascia network, a complex web of connective tissue that surrounds and interpenetrates every muscle, bone, nerve, and organ. The gentle moves target the fascia, sending signals through the nerves deep within the muscles (known as proprioceptors) to the brain to initiate a healing response. This process is believed to reset the autonomic nervous system, which controls the body's involuntary functions, helping to restore balance and promote overall well-being.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: black; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 24px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; margin: 0.1pt 0in; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 12px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14pt;"></span></div>

One distinctive aspect of Bowen Therapy is the strategic use of pauses between sets of movements. These short breaks allow the body to respond and integrate the information provided by the therapist, encouraging a deep sense of relaxation. I consider this to be the brain/body establishing an agenda for healing.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></div>

</div><p style="text-align: center;"><i style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">©2023 Victoria Bowmann PhD </span></i></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-size: 22px;"><b>D</b></span>ecember
is such a time of giving, we think of others and what we can get and
give to them. Perhaps we could also realize that the greatest gift we
can give others is a healthy me.</span><span style="font-family: arial;"><br type="_moz" /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 14px;">When
we live by example, there is a greater impact than our words. If we are
tired, exhausted, cranky or depressed, we have little or nothing to
give; what we do give out is a vibration of “it's too much for me.”</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 14px;">So what can we do to embrace a healthier me?</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 14px;">Perhaps
the thought, “Your body will respond in kind when you are kind to your
body!” is worth a moment of contemplation. Start by taking a few
minutes, perhaps 15 or 20 at the start of your day, sit quietly and
spend some quiet time. You might call it prayer, which is talking to the
God of your understanding. You might call it meditation, which is
listening to the God of your understanding. The important thing is to
quiet your mind, continue to release the chatter until you obtain a
sense of connection. After those few minutes, if you haven’t reached
that goal, go about your day and know that tomorrow is another
opportunity to make that connection.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 14px;">Secondly,
recall that your body is about 70% water, so provide the hydration
needed to run this magnificent being well. This is especially important
when partaking in alcohol, since it further dehydrates the cells. Start
you day with high quality water and continue it throughout the day. When
consuming alcohol, have at least 4 ounces of water between each drink,
to off set the dehydration of the alcohol. Enjoy, but not to excess, let
moderation be your guide.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 14px;">Tis’
the season of food, rich, gooey, delicious foods. Family tradition.
Ethnic delicacies. More than enough. A little tip to enjoy without
overdoing it is to survey the buffet table and make choices that you
will absolutely enjoy and bypass the rest. Take a smaller plate if
possible, and when asked by the hostess, “Is that’s all you want?”
Grin, and answer with “I hope I can have seconds and thirds!” She’ll
smile and nod, knowing her effort is appreciated. Be kind to your body!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 14px;">The
greatest gift is joy! It has been said that laughter is the best
medicine. Finding a way to look upon your world with the wonder of a
child, appreciate the sunrise and sunset. Marvel at the spectacle of
beauty around you: snowflakes and flowers, raindrops and rainbows. All
of these bring a priceless gift into our lives when we take the time to
notice and appreciate them. Perhaps you will spend a winter day looking
out at the big beautiful planet from your home, and en”joy” that moment.
It is a gift from creation to you.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 14px;">As
your day comes to a close, snuggle into bed with a warmth and
recognition of the kindness you have given to yourself, your body and
your being. Welcome the rest, relaxation, regeneration and sleep that
you deserve. Acknowledge that you consciously took time to gift your
body with greater habits of health.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 14px;">Aristotle wrote, “We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.”</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 14px;">Your
efforts today are building blocks for a better you each day of your
future. Set into your intention to sleep well, arise rested, and
continue with gifting yourself with health. May the ending of 2023 bless
you in ways you know not of.</span></p>MyRealHealthhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14951754114367501648noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6132841353328095067.post-51567122073107908882023-10-31T12:08:00.000-07:002023-10-31T12:08:06.152-07:00Health Is Another Form of Wealth!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<i><span style="font-size: 10px;"><br /></span></i><p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-size: 10px;">© 2023 Victoria Bowmann PhD </span></i></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;">Imagine neglecting your car and then wondering why you are broken down on the side of the road. Is it the engine burning up? Or the transmission? Or perhaps the radiator over heated? Or did a tire blow? Neglect leads to all sorts of problems where a little maintenance might reduce the risk.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;">Health is the state of being free from illness or injury; and a person’s mental or physical condition. Wealth is the abundance of valuable possessions or money.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;">So let’s look at the abundance of valuable possessions regarding our health. Perhaps the first one might be mental acuity, the sharpness or keenness of thought, vision or hearing. When one has well functioning senses, we make better decisions, we can navigate through our world of information to our own betterment.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;">Next we might want to decide the best </span><span style="font-size: 14px;">“</span><span style="font-size: 14px;">doctors</span><span style="font-size: 14px;">”</span><span style="font-size: 14px;"> to use: I recommend Dr Sunshine (Outdoors), Dr Exercise, Dr Nutrition/Fasting, Dr Rest/Sleep, Dr Pray/Meditate, and Dr Laughter. I’m sure we could expand this list, however let’s just start here.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;">Sunshine is the life force of our planet, without it our beautiful earth wouldn’t thrive, so think of your body in the same way. Especially enjoy the early morning or late afternoon rays since they are more gentle on our system. Spend time in the outdoors, basking, walking or vigorous activity, but enjoy the outdoors for this nurtures more than just our body.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;">Dr Exercise might share an office with Dr Sunshine, maybe, maybe not. However find some form of exercise to enjoy for your entire lifetime, incorporate into your daily routine at least 3 or 4 days each week. It might be as vigorous as mountain biking or basketball, or more calming such as yoga or the <a href="https://www.healthline.com/health/5-tibetan-rites" target="_blank">5 Tibetan Rites</a>. Be sure to stretch and challenge your system, which increases energy, stamina and physical capability.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;">Our next doctor is Dr Nutrition/Fasting. It is important to include life enhancing foods and eliminate those that do not promote well being. Mostly eliminate foods that are over processed, modified or engineered beyond what nature provides. I think that there are many beneficial ways to eat, so explore the varieties of programs and select those that increase your well being.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;">We might call Dr Rest/Sleep our Dr Rejuvenation, for sleeping is a time that many cellular activities are busy replacing cells, building cells and cleaning up the chaos of our daily living. Prepare your sleeping space to nurture restful sleep, remove the electronics, make the room dark and snuggle into a bed that comforts and supports this important “activity”. Also, whenever possible, take a nap of any length. This is a mini reboot opportunity to refresh as well.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;">Dr Pray/Meditate is the physician that understands the importance of quieting our mind, reflecting within and allowing your connection to your higher power. My personal definition of prayer is talking to my higher power, whether it be God, or Holy Spirit, whatever name you find comfort and guidance. Meditation is the time I spend listening to that Higher Power, such as <i>“Speak Lord, thy servant heareth!”</i> It is a time of quiet opening to Omniscience. A daily 15 minutes practice has become a way of life that brings peace, understanding and clarity into my life and the lives of many others.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;">The last doctor on our list is Dr Laughter for joy is the sweetness of life. No matter what we face, or the challenges we encounter, one can seek out joy. This need not be deep overzealous belly laughter, and it can be. It can be the observation of two children playing, or a cartoon that evokes a smile. Select an activity that brings you joy, such as gardening, or playing cards with friends. Find joy in the little things, and the big things too. Find joy.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;">I’m sure you will find other </span><span style="font-size: 14px;">“</span><span style="font-size: 14px;">doctors</span><span style="font-size: 14px;">”</span><span style="font-size: 14px;"> to put on your list. The six on mine are wonderful starting points for maintenance of our body, mind, and spirit. Employ it daily whenever possible. When this type of approach is used, the body’s reserves of nutrition, energy, and immune function are engaged. While something can go wrong, illness could happen, the reserves have a greater capability of carrying us through to well being.</span></p>

It’s called the mitochondria.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: black; font-family: Helvetica; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Each and every cell has a cell membrane and a variety of organized and specialized structures within each cell. One of these is the <i>mitochondria</i>, which produces the energy required for everything: cellular metabolism, transport, production of hormones and antibodies, as well as communication with other cells and cellular reproduction.</span><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><p></p>

It could be cancer, some immune disorder, diabetes, or other diagnosis. This decrease in its inability to work properly contributes to aging, fatigue, increased pain and flares in existing health problems.</span></p>

As with other natural things, there are no claims that it treats any illness or disease. It is a component of our food that has gone missing through over processing and refinement. Dr Raghavan’s ability to develop this is a gift to our health and well being.</span></p>

</span></div>
<p style="text-align: left;">The discussions of the best dietary program that is right for you will go on, and on… forever, and for good reasons. Each individual has differing needs, whether they be blood type, allergies, food intolerance, preferences or availability. Many clients cringe when I start talking about diet because they fear restrictions, “it’s <i>die</i> with a ‘t’ ” and “what things do I enjoy that I can no longer have.”<br /><br />Because I specialize in <i>natural</i> gut health, diet is a significant component that needs to be considered and addressed. Diet is actually defined as “selection of food.” What we select to eat will affect our nutritional availability, energy, cognitive skills, as well as digestive health. So, let’s choose wisely.<br /><br />Food fads come and go, and in the last decade the keto diet has come into that realm. However, unlike most fads, this one actually has a long medical track record of positive health benefits for numerous conditions. It was introduced by modern physicians as a treatment for epilepsy in the 1920s, and was the protocol of choice for these conditions for over two decades. Then, with advent of modern anti-epileptic drug treatments, its use declined dramatically. However, we know that pharmaceutical medications come with side-effects, some of them tragic. </p><p style="text-align: left;">In recent years, many physicians and health practitioners have championed the *keto diet for bringing positive effects for weight loss, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, and heart-disease, among many other health concerns. My approach has always been to utilize <i>natural</i> remedies as well as good food choices that can reduce the need for medications, and hopefully be able to eliminate them completely. Medications can be life saving, for sure, however they might also be crutches for poor food and lifestyle choices.</p><p style="text-align: left;">Historically, prior to the discovery of insulin, diabetics could consume a very strict diet with minimum carbohydrate intake and survive at least an extra few years with the disease. It was later discovered that the use of insulin can be greatly reduced with the selection of foods that produce a lower insulin demand in the digestive process. Enter the keto diet.<br /><br />When we think about our organs and how they function as well as their needs, we must remember that our brains are 70% fat! Yup, we’re “fat heads!” For this reason, I choose a dietary approach that includes lots of fats, but not just any fats.<br /><br />Fats in the presence of low carbohydrate intake is the basic approach of keto. Consuming unprocessed carbohydrates reduces the stress on the pancreas, while the higher level of good fats increase brain function and clarity. Science has been talking in recent years about our “second brain”; our precious gut, and the focus of my work for over four decades.<br /><br />While the percentages might fluctuate slightly, depending on the study and healthcare provider, the generally accepted percentages for the keto diet consists of 5–10% of unprocessed carbs, 15–20% protein, and 70–80% fats! However, be aware that the <i>kind</i> of fat is critically important as it should not be from processed oils like canola, corn, soy, safflower, or other processed polyunsaturated oils.</p><p style="text-align: left;">The best fats come from saturated oils such as olive oil, avocado oil, butter, and the fats in meat and fish. In many respects, the keto diet is about avoiding processed sugar or starchy foods, giving the body a needed rest from inflammatory foods that are well-known to be allergens and digestively problematic. Meanwhile, the increase of good fats and proteins, which are slower to digest, bring greater satiation and far fewer cravings between meals. It has also been noted that IBS and other gut challenges, such as Crohns and Ulcerative Colitis (UC), respond really positively to keto. </p><p style="text-align: left;">With keto in general, inflammation in the body is greatly reduced, yet when considering our <b><i>total</i></b> gut health, we should consider a multi-faceted approach. In particular, one that is helpful to restore the microbiome of the large intestine, while also transitioning to a beneficial diet like keto. I call this <span style="color: #2b00fe;"><u><i><a href="http://www.myrealhealth.com/06.products/products" target="_blank">reflorastation</a></i></u></span> of the colon, and it is applied directly to the source with a rectal suppository. While this may sound slightly uncomfortable, it’s actually quite painless, quick, and easy to retain, with 100% of the healthy bacterium being introduced where it's needed. The re-population of the large intestine is fully colonized within an hour and completely stabilizes within 3 days. This treatment has been shown to produce stable and balanced bowel regularity, with general improvements in overall gut health, resolving many negative digestive issues that have been present for years.<br /><br /><b>Case #1: </b>A 67 year old male with a history of UC had a heart attack with appropriate medical intervention. However, 3 years ago he investigated keto, to reduce the <i><b>bad</b></i> fats that aggravate UC, and within 5 months he completely transitioned to the keto diet with adding moderate exercise. Since then he reports that he has lost 46 lbs, has zero UC symptoms, and his gut feels as goods as when he was a young man. His A1C has been reduced from <i>prediabetic</i> to perfect levels, his cholesterol is in balance, and his blood-pressure and overall heart health are great.<br /><br /><b>Case #2:</b> A 69 year old female who couldn’t reduce her menopausal weight, 20 extra pounds. She’s active, eats moderately, and knows how to employ a healthy lifestyle, yet to no avail. The weight persisted. She looked at the keto approach and thought what did she have to lose? 20 pounds! And 30 days later, she did, almost. Her weight loss was 18 pounds in those 30 days, she slept well, felt satiated, and had energy to live an active life. Keto diet and taking care of her gut with reflorastation.<br /><br />So whether you need to consider the keto diet, or want to for general health purposes, it is time tested and can be a very enjoyable way to eat.

<p>Nowadays we can be reached at any time and in any place. Huge transmission towers ensure an optimal mobile network (3G – 5G) while WiFi, Bluetooth and modern smart homes, right down to microwaves, have become our daily companions, making our lives easier and more comfortable.<br /> <br />Because of this, we spend more time in closed spaces, as we can take care of a great deal from home or directly from our place of work. But often that which is more pleasant has its price in the end. 5G and E Smog disrupts your body’s natural magnetic field.<br /> <br />All of this leads to oxidative stress, creating a vicious cycle where our cells continually lose their healthy charge.<br /> <br />The withdrawal of the Earth’s natural magnetic field and the additional exposure to radiation—1 trillion times as much as 10 years ago—which bombards us 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Leads to numerous health problems, such as:
<br />
<br />
• Sleeplessness<br />
• Fatigue<br />
• Forgetfulness<br />
• Stress<br />
• Attention Deficits and Brain Fog<br />
• Low Performance<br />
• Emotional imbalance<br />
• More rapid aging<br />
• Lowered immunity<br />
<br />
One patient, with a high level of electro-magnetic frequency sensitivity wore one of the personal devices as directed, for one week. At the end of this time period, she refused to return it, saying, “I’m buying it because I’m feeling so much better. I really noticed the difference. I’m sleeping better and my energy is improved.”

My daughter, from another mother, and her four sons, my grandsons share our home. It’s delightful, yet challenging to have four rowdy, active boys around. It’s also a huge blessing to be able to impart their lives by talking and applying this training. I often think, “Where would I be if I had learned this when I was 8, or 10, or 13 years old?”</span></p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: black; font-family: Helvetica; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;"><p><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: medium;">I’d like to introduce you to these four amazing boys. The fraternal twins are Bryce and Bradley, in that order. Since fraternal twins are not from the same egg, but from two eggs that were fertilized and implanted, we often say that while in the womb they shared a tent, but they had their own sleeping bag. Bryce is the oldest by 5 minutes and the typical oldest child. He’s on the honor roll at school, is a bit more reserve and sometimes takes on more responsibility than one his age usually does. He’s allowed to explore these areas with guidance. He’s great at basketball and has a wall full of ribbons from competing in gymkhanas, which are western horseback riding events, such as barrel racing and poles.</span></p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: black; font-family: Helvetica; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;"><p><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: medium;">Bradley is a creative and artist young man, a bit more social and outgoing than his twin. If there’s a bunch of kids around, he’s in the middle of it all, having fun and keeping the joy and excitement at a very high level. He excels in school because of a meticulous nature, he dots the<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><i>i’s</i><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>and crosses his<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><i>t’s.</i><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>It’s interesting to watch the closeness they share as well as the differences in their personalities.</span></p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: black; font-family: Helvetica; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;"><p><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: medium;">Kyler is 15 months younger. Sometimes he wants to be “the third twin” and compete with his older brothers, and sometimes he slips away to be alone, in his own space. I’ve noticed that he’s quite a thinker as he looks at situations and figures them out. I love watching him when he goes into this mode, the gears in his head start grinding and spinning. I wonder what’s going on in there and wait for the results. They will be amazing, I promise you that.</span></p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: black; font-family: Helvetica; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;"><p><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: medium;">Well, Jaylon arrived three years later and he’s the apple of everyone’s eye! What a charmer. He boogies around, plunks out tunes on the piano, and keeps our home hopping. He feels with every cell of his body and expresses his joys day in and day out. Whatever he does in life, it will be done with gusto, that’s for certain.</span></p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: black; font-family: Helvetica; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;"><p><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: medium;">One day I wanted to offer them a challenge with something that I heard during an event I attended. What would they come up with? I know boys are usually hungry and up for a snack. So, we sat down at our kitchen table with some great big juicy red delicious apples, the ones that just drip with flavor in every bite. I decided to cut them in half.<span> <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span>Not vertically, or lengthwise, from stem to bottom; but horizontally, crosswise, so that we could see the star pattern in the center. Each one had half of an apple and before they began eating I asked, “How many seeds are in your apple?”</span></p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: black; font-family: Helvetica; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;"><p><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: medium;">As they were munching away, they dug through the middles discovering their seeds. The lefties, Bryce and Jaylon, shared one apple. The righties, Bradley and Kyler, shared the other. We determined that our apples had between 3 and 5 seeds. H-m-m-m, that’s interesting.</span></p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: black; font-family: Helvetica; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;"><p><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: medium;">Then I asked the question that I had heard at the event, “How many apples are in a seed?”</span></p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: black; font-family: Helvetica; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;"><p><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: medium;">The twins looked at me as if I had slipped off my rocker!</span></p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: black; font-family: Helvetica; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;"><p><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: medium;">“There aren’t apples in a seed.”</span></p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: black; font-family: Helvetica; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;"><p><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: medium;">“That’s a crazy question.”</span></p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: black; font-family: Helvetica; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;"><p><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: medium;">I raised my hand, which is a gesture in our home to request silence. They all looked at me, quieted down and I repeated, “How many apples are in a seed? Let’s think about it without judging the question.”</span></p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: black; font-family: Helvetica; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;"><p><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: medium;">Again, they all looked at me. Their eyebrows wrinkled up as they thought about my question. Kyler tilted his head sideways and I saw those ingenious gears go to work. Jaylon, too young to know it’s a crazy question, picked up one of his seed, stared at it, and wondered if there were apples inside. We’ve often discussed “you don’t know what you don’t know” so it seemed like they were willing to be open to figuring out or learning something new.</span></p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: black; font-family: Helvetica; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;"><p><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: medium;">After a few minutes, Kyler spoke, “Nana, I think I might have an answer.”</span></p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: black; font-family: Helvetica; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;"><p><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: medium;">“Okay, whatcha got?” I asked.</span></p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: black; font-family: Helvetica; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;"><p><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: medium;">“Well,” he said slowly, “We don’t know. There could be a lot of apples in this seed.”</span></p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: black; font-family: Helvetica; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;"><p><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: medium;">Now the twins were looking at both Kyler and I as if we were nuts, but they kept quiet. I had a grin from ear to ear, watching his cognition. He continued, “If we planted our seeds and one of them grew into a tree, it would have apples on it. Apples have seeds. And those seeds could grow into apples trees and they would have more apples. This could go on<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><i>forever</i>.” Then he said some magical words, “We just don’t know how many apples; there could be an infinite number of apples in just one seed.” WOW! My body was filled with chilly bumps.</span></p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: black; font-family: Helvetica; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;"><p><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: medium;">Bryce got the cognition as Kyler talked about it, so did Bradley. Jaylon did too! So I explained the concept of<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><i>depth of vision</i>. Look beyond the obvious! Explore and discover the possibilities. Our conversation was quite lively as we grasped at all the possibilities.

Every once in a while, I find a modality that can make a significant difference in the comfort of our body. I’m excited to have been introduced to the <b>Avacen</b>. It is a safe, patented, FDA-cleared Class II medical device that non-invasively uses clinically proven <b>Avacen</b> treatment method. It’s a patented, drug-free alternative for temporary relief of pain.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="-moz-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; caret-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 18px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">

It is currently FDA-cleared as a heat therapy device (much like a Far Infrared Sauna although) for the temporary relief of minor muscle and joint pain and stiffness; the temporary relief of joint pain associated with arthritis, muscle spasms, minor strains and sprains; and muscular relaxation.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i>By Victoria Bowmann, PhD</i></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">What’s in your first aid kit? Other than not having <b>Body Mend</b> inside, ours are probably much alike. However you might want to add <b>Body Mend</b>,
a combination homeopathic that is designed for the treatment of minor
injuries, such as sprains, strains, and bruises, and as an aid in the
recovery from surgical procedures.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">First
let’s understand a little bit about homeopathy. It is a safe
alternative medicine system developed in 1796 by Dr. Samuel Hahnemann.
The basis is that like cures like and that a substance that in a large
dose causes a symptom, if used in a homeopathic dose would promote a
cure.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I like to use
Homeopathic Apis (honey bee) as an example. Two steps are in the
process. First is to mix the bee with a carrier such as milk sugar or
alcohol. Then, second, it is pulverized or shaken (called <i>"succussion"</i>)
a specific number of times. This is diluted by a specific ratio and
succussed, numerous times. Dilution, succussion, dilution, succussion.
If it is diluted 6 times, the potency (energy level) would be 6X. Each
time it is diluted, the amount of the original substance is less,
however there is greater energy because of the succussion.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Now
let’s ask: When would we use the remedy Apis. Well, if we were stung by
a bee, we would probably have pain, swelling, and redness at the sting
site. So, if we had a reaction to something, perhaps an ant bite or some
other stinging bug where there was swelling, pain, and redness, we
could use Homeopathic Apis. It doesn’t have to be exact, such as Apis
only for a bee sting, but for any situation that is expressed as pain,
swelling, and redness. Rather we look for similarity of symptoms.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Some remedies are only one substance, called single remedies. Others are a combination of substances. <b>Body Mend </b>is a combination remedy, which is why it has such broad action on injury and recovery.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Years
ago, one of my friends stood of the top of a ladder to put holiday
decorations on the house to excite his three-year old daughter. You
know, the step that says, <i>"don’t stand here</i>." Well, he did and
the ladder collapsed, twisting his arm in the cross supports and the
legs of the ladder. He didn’t break his arm, but wrenched the ligaments
and tendons severely. There was nothing for the orthopedic doctor to do,
as nothing needed to be pinned back together; the arm simply needed
rest. He was put in a brace and told to <i>"take it easy."</i> He started <b>Body Mend</b> at my insistence.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Six weeks later at his doctor’s appointment, the physician said, <i>“You’ve healed more in six weeks than I expected you to by the time I released you. Keep doing what you’re doing!”</i> I consider that the value of <b>Body Mend</b>.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I
keep a bottle out in my barn where my horses reside. Sometimes I hit my
head on a rail as I duck in and out of pens, sometimes these big beasts
push me around and I push back. If I have a concern, I take a dose of <b>Body Mend</b>.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">You
can put a few drops under your tongue and hold for 30 seconds or you
can add it to a bottle of water and sip on it throughout your day. This
is great after dental appointments or to aid healing after surgery.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Homeopathic remedies are also safe and effective on animals. I use <b>Body Mend</b> in the water of a dog or cat that is hurt. It will aid the healing after the veterinarian has sent them home to recuperate.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">One
of the most valuable aspects of homeopathy is safety. If the bottle
were to spill and the dog lap it up, it would not cause harm, because of
the dilution of the substance. It is the combination of this dilution
with the increase of vibrational energy that promotes the body to begin
its healing process.</span></span></div>

Neuroscience News and Research reported on research originally from McGill University Health Center. The Montreal-based research team has shown that there are alterations in the bacteria in the gut of those diagnosed with fibromyalgia. Some subjects had greater amounts of the 20 different species, some subjects had lesser quantities of these species. They also looked at factors such as diet, medication, physical activity, age, etc that are known to affect the microbiome and confirmed that they were not factors affecting the species of bacteria.</div>

It was not determined whether the changes in gut were markers of the disease or whether they are a factor in causing the disease. The severity of the symptoms was directly correlated with the increased or absence of these certain bacteria. This is the first time this information has been reported.</div>

My research into probiotics began in 1991 while reading an article from the Lancet:<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><i>Rectal Infusion of Bacterial Preparations for Intestinal Disorders</i>. Knowing about the destructive effects of gastric juices on oral probiotics, this approach is highly successful in changing the microbiome. In collaborating with McGill trained physician Abram Ber, MD, MD (H), we began testing the effectiveness, efficiency, and safety of probiotics administered rectally.

Twenty eight years of administering a variety of probiotics has resulted in greater success than those taken orally. It’s easy, and can be done in the privacy of your home. The probiotics come from reputable labs that are FDA cleared. I have concerns with using fecal material from a donor as was given in the article published in the Lancet. The health of the donor, the viral load of the donor, and what else could pass through while filtering the fecal material and potentially causing additional health problems.</div>

<br />
We
have learned that disease can also be considered "dis-ease", which is
not necessarily illness but perhaps a lack of energy, vitality and
comfort within our bodies. So, what is the "dis" of disease? The origins
of the word comes from Old French where the "dis" represents a reversal
or the lack of something. In this regard, it means the lack or reversal
of "ease". So, how do we drop the "dis" and get ourselves back to the
"ease"? Well, through my many years of clinical work, I have happened
upon this useful acronym, DIS, to illustrate the vital factors that
contribute to dropping the "dis" and keeping us in "ease".<br />
<br />
"D" stands for <i>digestion</i>,
which is our fuel source. The foods we consume including our vitamins,
minerals and other supplements make up our fuel. So let's take a look at
what foods we are consuming to propel our bodies forward. <i>Clean and fresh is best!</i> We can even make successful selections when eating out if we follow a motto of clean and fresh is best!<br />
When
we're wandering around the grocery store, let's stay on the outside
areas where the fresh foods are: produce such as fruits and vegetables,
proteins in our meats and seafood, those items that have a short shelf
life. The longer a product can stay on the shelf, whether at the store
or in our pantry, the less vitality it contains to provide the nutrients
we each need.<br />
<br />
Another component of digestion is our stomach and
intestines' ability to actually break down our foods into absorbable
parts. This is where chewing becomes important as the saliva in our
mouth actually starts the digestive process. Then the stomach secretes
acids and pepsin to digest proteins and fats. Once the partially
digested food moves into the small intestine, we need the pancreatic
enzymes to continue with the breakdown of carbohydrates and sugars.<br />
<br />
If
there is discomfort during the 60 to 90 minutes after eating, our
system might need some additional support. Making a decision about
supplements is best done with the direction of a health practitioner.
You may need enzymes, Hydrochloric Acid, or even ox bile. There are many
brands, products and varieties to choose from, so be sure your
selection is based on evaluation of your needs. There are also more
effective times to take each of these, so become an educated consumer.<br />
<br />
The
final process of digestion is elimination. While we think of the large
intestine or colon as the body's "trash can", it has many more functions
than that. When there is a healthy microbiome (environment of the
colon) numerous processes occur. Our colon manufactures B12 and vitamin
K, it absorbs nutrients that might have not been absorbed in the small
intestine, binds to wastes and toxins so that they are not reabsorbed,
reclaims moisture so we don't dehydrate, and also reclaims bile, which
is recirculated for protein digestion at our next meal.<br />
<br />
WOW! There's a lot happening here.<br />
<br />
Many
of us have elimination problems; constipation, which is too slow, or
irritable bowels, which is too fast. Perhaps there is excessive gas and
bloating, which increases our <i>dis-</i>ease. The ideal transit time
(from eating to elimination) is just under 24 hours. If these
elimination problems are disruptive to our lives, we should consider <i>reflorastation</i>,
which is the repopulating of our colon with healthy probiotics (at
least twice a year), and the most efficient and effective method is
rectally. Application is easy and simple to do. I personally feel this
is a much better and safer method than fecal transplant.<br />
When we
take probiotics by mouth, most are destroyed by the digestive juices.
When we do them rectally, they are all delivered immediately. I
pioneered this method in the early 1990s with amazing success. As of
today, I've administered over 40,000 treatments.<br />
<br />
The reason this is so important is the "I" of disease. This stands for the <i>immune</i> system.
At least 70% of our immune system is in the intestines. The small
intestine is 22 feet long and the large intestine is 5 feet long. So,
digestion and immunity walk hand in hand. By keeping the digestive
system working well we will automatically have a stronger immune system.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.myrealhealth.com/06.products/products" target="_blank">MYREALHEALTH.COM/PRODUCTS</a><br />
<br />
<i>Reflorastation</i> can
help keep our immune system at an optimum level and support healthy
digestion. Think of our bodies like we do our cars. If we use inferior
gas, the engine doesn't work well and over time this can have a
deleterious effect on the cars ability to function properly. If we
neglect our cars, they break down. The same is true for our bodies.<br />
<br />
The <i>stress</i> of
our bodies breaking down is the "S" of disease. Stress comes in many
forms: mental, emotional, physical, intellectual and even spiritual.
Many of us have not been coached in methods to handle stress. Different
personalities manage stress differently. Perhaps it's time to look at
the stressors we have in our lives, how we handle them and how much it
impacts our well being and our health.<br />
<br />
I'll be addressing Methods
of Stress Management in a future article. For now, let's be mindful of
our foods, selection of supplements and optimal elimination. Consider an
"At Home Kit" to fortify your system—effectively!<br />
<br />
When we manage <i>D</i> for digestion,<i> I</i> for immune system, and <i>S</i> for stress, we can live with "ease".<br />

One
little known or discussed fact is that all mammals—your puppies,
kitties, horses, and all humans—have an endocannabinoid system (ECS).
This is the largest self-regulating system in your body and you have
receptor sites for cannabidiol (CBD). There are two areas of these
receptor sites: the first is in the brain, spinal column and the central
nervous system, the second is in the gut, the visceral and your
internal organs.<br />
Cannabidiol occurs naturally in marijuana, however it also occurs in <em>large</em>
quantities in hemp. Interesting to say, marijuana in high in
tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), which is the substance responsible for the
recreational use, and lower in CBD. The opposite is true of hemp, as it
is high in CBD and considerably lower in THC. In fact, most people don't
notice any "recreational" effect from the small amount of THC in hemp
products.<br />
In 1937 hemp became illegal to use in the US. While the
reasons were financial, this was a great loss to supporting the ECS of
people and animals. This has changed in resent years and there are
quality products cleared by the FDA and the DEA.<br />
Since it is my
opinion that most people are deficient in CBD. We can all benefit from
taking some form of hemp in our diet. The benefits are many, some of
which are: neuroprotective for things like seizures and convulsions as
well as neurological decline similar to Alzheimer's and Parkinson's,
promotes bone growth, reduces pain, inflammation, vomiting, nausea,
anxiety, and muscle spasms.<br />
It is important when selecting a
product that it be very clean, preferably organic and that the final
production of the product holds to very strict standards. During the
growing of hemp it cleans the soil, so the plant actually uptakes the
toxins from the soil into its leaves, stems, buds and seeds. I have
researched numerous products and know that some are safer and more
effective than others.<br />
Please know that many health concerns can
be made less intense and complicated when hemp products are added to the
diet, whether by using a salve and having it absorbed thru the skin,
swishing the product in the mouth so that it is absorbed in the mucosal
tissues of the mouth, swallowing a nutritional pill or taking it into
the lungs as a vapor. I'd be happy to share some studies and further
information, just email me: <a href="mailto:%20%3Ca%20href=mailto:vbowmann@gmail.com%3Evbowmann@gmail.com%3C/a%3E" rel="nofollow"> </a><a href="mailto:vbowmann@gmail.com">vbowmann@gmail.com</a></div>

<span style="font-size: 24pt;"><span style="color: black;"><b>I</b></span></span>magine having your appetite regulated by your guts! That’s the latest findings published in the journal Cell Metabolism. The good bacteria in your gut controls two things: when you eat and how much you eat. We’ve heard that it takes 20 minutes to begin to feel full and now we know why. At 20 minutes after eating a meal, these bacteria produce proteins that influence our appetite regulating neurons, which communicate with our brain. These are called satiety hormones.<br />
<br />
There are other beneficial things that the gut bacteria regulate. Our immune system dramatically improves, we are better able to produce and assimilate nutrients, and they protect our intestinal cells from inflammation. Many diseases are associated with an imbalance in the gut microbial environment (microbiota). Effective use of probiotics can restore this unbalanced state. Health improves and weight regulation can also improve with healthy gut flora.<br />
<br />
While many take probiotics orally, it isn’t the most effective way to rapidly change the environment. Digestive processes frequently interfere with the viability of the probiotics. Using a suppository will be effective and also efficient. In the last 25 years, I have pioneered this procedure, which is simple and easy to do for yourself, in the privacy of your own home! It’s called an “<a href="http://www.myrealhealth.com/06.products/selfreflorkits.php" target="_blank">At Home Colon Kit</a>.”<br />
<br />
Certainly, this isn’t the only factor for weight loss; however it is an exciting one. Just like many things, a multifaceted approach can bring about easier and better results. Using a positive mental attitude, healthy eating habits, exercises that you enjoy are important. The key to being even more successful might just be in your gut.<br />

<span style="font-size: 18px;"><b>W</b></span>e
are a world of dog lovers! When our pets hurt, we hurt, at least I do
and I suspect that you do too. Skin problems are frustrating and
worrisome. Sometimes the diet is a contributor, but the root cause is in
the intestine.<br />
Seventy percent of the immune system in mammals is
in the intestines and the skin is the largest organ of the immune
system; therefore, when the skin is inflamed in any way, the intestines
are inflamed as well. Dermatitis? Yes. Skin allergies? Yes. Acne in
humans? Yes. When we address the intestines, there is a greater chance
of helping the skin.<br />
About a decade ago, I was visiting with my
friend Angie, who is a veterinarian and works with dogs and cats. Her
husband is also a veterinarian, and their pride and joy is a Springer
Spaniel named Carli. As we talked about our mutual love of four footed
animals, she shared that her dog had hot spots, that caused her to chew
on these areas almost non-stop. They want to avoid cortisone treatments,
which is the standard of care for this problem. Since Carli has been
18 months old, she has struggled with allergy and skin related ailments:
yeast otitis, Staph dermatitis and flea allergy dermatitis, and now the
'hot spots'. This caused her bedding to smell like dirty wet socks!<br />
I
explained the connection between the skin and their guts and suggested
one application of rectal probiotics, which I call "reflorastation". I
sent a kit with her when she left. That evening, Tom and Angie discussed
my suggestion. Tom's remark was, "It couldn't hurt so let's give it a
try."<br />
Dinner was served, they all went out for their evening walk,
and their Springer did what dogs do, and emptied out her bowels during
this time. When they returned home, they followed the simple
instructions and administered the Canine Kit.<br />
Imagine my delight
when Angie called the following morning, "Within 5 minutes the sores
quit oozing and began to heal over. My dog no longer wanted to lick or
chew at the areas. She improved measurably with only the
reflorastation."<br />
I explained that she needed to evaluate the diet
and look for allergy or suspect foods. In time, Angie designed an
organic diet for her dog. This information she offers to her patients
and their pets. Not only do we need to correct the microbiota of the
intestines, we need to see that what is going in by mouth doesn't
contribute to the problem. Instead food should be designed to support
the health and well being of our pets.<br />
I've helped many dogs, and a
few cats, with skin issues. There are natural ways to adjust the
environment of the intestines. If you'd like to read more, visit: <a href="http://myrealhealth.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">MyRealHealth.com</a></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Look Your Best for Summer in Just Weeks</b></span></h3>
<h4 style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">I</span></b>magine looking at your hips and buttocks in the mirror and watching the <i>cellulite</i> just vanishing before your very eyes! Sounds like a dream come true, and it is! Actually, the results begin to show within 6 weeks, but this is still amazingly fast. If you’re like most women, cellulite is so challenging to diminish (even with extraordinary dieting) and <i>never</i> seems to go away. Part of the reason for this is poor circulation in these body areas.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Cellulite (that orange peel, cottage cheese skin texture we despise) comes from fat deposits that have low, decreased or poor blood circulation. Even if we diet, fat burns from all the places with the best circulation but leaves the areas with poor blood flow to remain and forms the appearance of cellulite.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It’s an endless battle that, even if you are eating right, exercising, and losing weight, seems futile. However, there is a <i>new and exciting technology </i>applied to <i>salt water</i> that actively attacks cellulite by increasing blood flow to those affected areas and, in as little as 6 weeks, produces <i>amazingly positive changes</i> in the skin texture and appearance by diminishing all signs of cellulite. At the end of this article, I’m going to share some<b> tips</b> to make using this product even <i>more</i> <i>effective</i>. How does that sound?</div>
<br />
In a 12 week clinical dermatest trial being run in Germany, this was noted: <i> </i> <br />
<blockquote>
<i>“Ultrasound taken of the fat globules shows reducing cellulite while increasing elasticity of the skin. On first application, the blood circulation <u>increases <b>45</b>%</u> and at 96 hours, the circulation <u>increases to <b>55</b>%</u>.”<br /><br />“At only the <b><u>six-week mark</u></b>, the preliminary results are astonishing.” </i></blockquote>

<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">BURN FAT, BURN!!</span></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you’d like to lose your cellulite beginning today, go to <a href="http://myrealhealth.teamasea.com/pages/Products/RENU28.aspx" target="_blank"><i>http://myrealhealth.teamasea.com</i></a> and order <i><b>Renu 28</b></i>. A simple twice daily application to the affected areas is how the dermatest is being run, which easily works for me and I'm sure it will for you too.<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Tip:</b> There is also a <a href="http://myrealhealth.teamasea.com/pages/Products/WhatIsAsea.aspx" target="_blank">liquid ASEA</a> that, when taken internally (follow product recommendations), increases the body’s ability to be even more youthful. When you decide to add this to your cellulite removal program, you’ll be giving your body the added ability to <i>increase</i> even more fat burning and “youthing”.<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Extra Tip:</b> If you use a bath scrub, a loofah, or a vegetable brush and “buff up” the cellulite areas to a nice <i>healthy red glow</i> prior to using the <b>Renu 28</b>, you will accelerate the blood circulation even more. Two to five minutes of scrubbing for each <b>Renu 28 </b>application is sufficient, depending on how many areas you want to treat. Once you have scrubbed the area to a healthy glow, squeeze some <b>Renu 28</b> in your hands and rub it on just like body lotion. That’s it! Just twice a day! </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>M</b></span>edical doctors are now offering <i>fecal transplants</i> for patients who suffer with Clostridium Difficile (C-diff), which is a very difficult intestinal condition to resolve. This procedure was first used in the 1980s with a level of success, however, one should look at <i>all</i> sides of this procedure and do so with caution. The procedure involves taking a sample of stool from a “healthy” donor individual, processing it and placing it into the colon of an affected recipient. Medical doctors don’t understanding <u><i>why</i></u> this procedure works yet they are doing it anyway. <br />
<br />
When we look at the method of processing the donor stool for a fecal transplant, we find that the donor stool sample is liquefied and filtered. Unfortunately, any virus present in the donor sample still <i>remains!</i> It's important to note that a virus is <i>much smaller</i> than bacteria. So, viruses can readily pass right through the filtration process and can still be present in the donor sample that gets used. While the positive bacteria certainly may be needed to jump-start or restore one's own digestive system, an unpredictable viral load could compromise the patient in potentially negative ways.
<br />
<br />
Now, let’s think about the DNA of the donor stool. Most often the suggested stool sample is from a close relative; if one is available. So, where do you get a sample, and is the donor's DNA in the stool? DNA (genetic material) is also smaller than bacteria and is in our hair follicles, our saliva, our blood, <i>and, yes,</i> it’s in our stools too.<br />
<br />
Personally, I’m still uncertain if I would want someone else's DNA implanted into my colon and the negative impact this could create from the body's rejection of foreign genes. I truly question sharing this, especially if one is critically ill.<br />;
<br />
Another concern I have is for unknown toxic materials that the donor sample could contain. One of the jobs of the large intestine is to bind to and eliminate toxins via the stool. So, an important question to ask is, how does one go about removing these potential toxins from the donor sample?<br />
<br />
Since fecal transplantation is a medical procedure that requires doctor visits, a diagnosis, and expensive costs. Alternatively, using “rectal probiotics” is a quick and simple procedure (called “<i><a href="http://www.myrealhealth.com/04.services/reflor.php" target="_blank">Reflorastation</a></i>”), which is effective and as safe as choosing a vitamin supplement. As an informed consumer, you have an alternative that is safe where you can help yourself inexpensively.<br />
<br />
Since 1991, I have pioneered the use of <i><a href="http://www.myrealhealth.com/06.products/selfreflorkits.php" target="_blank">probiotics</a></i> and administering them rectally (<i><a href="http://www.myrealhealth.com/04.services/reflor.php" target="_blank">Reflorastation</a></i>) with great success, even with difficult conditions such as C-diff. This process is very much like the fecal transplants but without all the risks or concerns I mentioned above. Probiotics are a pure source of healthy colon bacteria that, when infused directly into the colon (rectally) have the opportunity to establish and cultivate directly <i>where</i> it is needed.<br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
Oral Probiotics</h3>
I often hear people mention that they take oral probiotics (either in pill form or in a foundation such as yogurt). And many believe that this is sufficient to treat difficult conditions that have put their digestive system radically out of balance. Unfortunately, very little if <i>any</i> probiotic survive the transit through the gastric juices to be able to establish themselves as positive flora in the large intestines where they are truly needed. It should be understood that probiotics at their strongest and most effective state are extremely fragile and even need to be refrigerated to ensure their potency.
<br />
<br />
Thus, this oral method of probiotic delivery has virtually little positive impact on the flora of the large intestines. So, why not put the bacteria <i>directly</i> where it is needed, in the colon. After all, would you put eye-drops in your mouth and expect it to help your eyes? No, you put them directly in your eyes to moisten or treat an eye problem. How about nasal spray? Do you spray that in your mouth? No, you spray it in the nose, which is where they are designed to treat nasal congestion or problems. So, taking probiotics orally is a 22 to 25 foot long journey to the large intestine, where their survival rate is 2-5%. Alternatively, using them <i>rectally</i>, is a quick and easy 6 inch journey that avoids the deterioration of time and destructive gastric acids. Right place, right application.<br />
<br />
The process by which probiotics, lactobacilli and bifidus bacteria, are grown is in highly regulated and well established laboratories. Those that are produced are the major types found in the intestines of humans and other mammals. Yes, we do share some of these strains of bacteria with our domestic pets and even horses. The ratios and proportions are different in each species, however, the bacteria are the same varieties.
<br />
<br />
My research has been in isolating probiotic bacteria with the <i>highest</i> vitality, efficiency and effectiveness for human use. This has been exciting and very rewarding work, with little or no risk to the recipient.<br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
Why You Should Consider <span style="color: black;"><a href="http://www.myrealhealth.com/04.services/reflor.php" target="_blank">Reflorastation</a></span></h3>
Many circumstances can have a negative impact on the digestive system, putting individuals into digestive distress. Taking antibiotics (which destroy <u><i>all</i></u> bacteria—even the beneficial flora of the large intestines), having food poisoning, or intestinal flu are some ways that our digestion can become compromised. When traveling in foreign countries, we are often exposed to conditions that can disrupt our body's defenses and digestive system. Unfamiliar bacteria can create fermentation in the intestines, causing increased bloating and flatulence. These conditions could all be indications of putrefaction in the intestines where the flora has lost it's strength and effectiveness. By supplementing the intestinal flora with a variety of strong and effective Lactobacillus and Bifidus, you replace or reinforce the less effective flora.<br />
<br />
The primary importance of the <i><a href="http://www.myrealhealth.com/04.services/reflor.php" target="_blank">reflorastation</a></i> is to restore the colon's bacteria to its healthy and normal state. Many individuals report an substantial improvement in bowel function, including resolving chronic constipation. It has given relief to irritable bowel problems, reducing pain and bloating.<br />
<br />
The functions of the large intestine are many. When the dynamics are at an optimum, then the body's production of certain nutrients is enhanced, the absorption of ingested nutrients, vitamins and minerals is increased, and the binding of toxins for elimination is greatly improved.<br />
<br />
In the first three days after <i><a href="http://www.myrealhealth.com/04.services/reflor.php" target="_blank">reflorastation</a></i>, there may be some very mild responses such as a change in the color of the stool. Yellow is a liver response, army green is a bile response, mucus may be present, or any increase in flatulence for a few hours. These are a natural regulation responses of the intestines. Generally, within three days, there is ease in going to the bathroom, as well as a reduction in gas and the elimination of bloating.<br />
<br />
If you or someone you love is experiencing digestive distress and either
taking oral probiotics without relief or, perhaps, they are considering
something more radical like fecal transplantation, please, consider <i><a href="http://www.myrealhealth.com/04.services/reflor.php" target="_blank">reflorastation</a></i> <u><i>first</i></u>, which is a truly <i>positive</i> and proactive alternative with great effectiveness that can resolve many difficult digestive conditions. </div>

<b><span style="font-size: large;">A</span></b>llicin is one of the active principles of freshly crushed
garlic, with a variety of anti-microbial activities. In its pure form, it was
found to exhibit anti-bacterial activity against a wide range of bacteria, anti-fungal activity, particularly against Candida albicans, and anti-parasitic
activity. Additional research shows the ability of garlic to reduce blood lipid
levels and to have anticancer effects.
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The active ingredient of garlic cloves is a volatile
molecule that begins within seconds of being crushed. Science has found the
means of stabilization of this active ingredient, with a potency to deliver
strong immune support with a low level of garlic odor or taste. The patented
process, called Allisure, produces a purified allicin with a 100% allicin
yield. It has demonstrated significant antibacterial, anti-fungal, larvicidal
and antiviral properties, as well as reducing cholesterol and blood pressure as
well as increasing CD4 T cell count, which is astonishing!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
I have found this process to support the immune system for
the common cold to any immune compromised condition. While nothing is capable
of resolving everything, there are substances that continuously rise to the top
in efficacy and efficiency. Historically, garlic has been used for medicinal purposes and today it is available
in this unique form.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Many consider the large intestine, or colon, to be only an
organ of elimination, much like the trashcan one has in the kitchen. This
couldn’t be further from the truth. It has varied and important functions of
digestion, <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>as well as support and
protect our body. About 60% of the immune system is found in the intestines, so
there is a connection between the body’s ability to fight infection and help us
stay in a healthy condition, and the general health of the intestines, both
large and small intestines.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Just below the stomach is the small intestine that is
involved in further digestion and assimilation of nutrients. It is about 22
feet long and has little finger like structures called villi that do this
important work. At the ileo-cecal valve, the small intestine connects to the
large intestine where the bowl of the cecum and the appendix are located.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It is interesting to note that Duke University in 2007
thought they had discovered the purpose of the appendix. The article states, “.
. .the appendix is a compartment well suited for maintaining beneficial or
commensal microorganisms . . .” The study further said that is produces massive
amounts of bacteria populating the human digestive system and is believed to
protect the gut. Other scientists reviewing the paper said this theory makes
sense.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
These advances of scientific opinion resonate with my
opinion of the appendix. I have never believed it was an evolutionary mutation
that was worthless. This valuable organ acts like a bacteria factory
cultivating good bacteria to be mixed with food stuff coming into the colon
from the small intestine.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The challenge is maintaining this viable mix of
microorganisms when medications, particularly antibiotics, are needed. This
would render the appendix void of good bacteria. However, my research in
probiotics offers an effective and efficient method of administration that
brings the balance back to the colon rapidly.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When there are beneficial bacteria in the colon, the major
functions of the organ are supported. These are the production of B-12 as well
as Vitamin K, as our colon makes these nutrients. It also assimilates nutrients
that are missed in the small intestine while blocking the re-absorption of
toxins that were consumed in and on the food and fluids we had. It also is a
recycling plant in that it absorbs bile to be reused in the digestion of fats
as well as absorbs water to assist the body in hydration.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
One must think of the large intestine as the final stage of
the life cycle, being the decomposition portion. Just like what one does with
vegetable scraps that turn it into compost for their gardens. This is the break
down of food materials into compost due to the dark, moist, warm environment of
the organ and the presence of bacteria.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When one has a healthy functioning colon, there is support
for the liver, the kidneys, immune system and of course digestion.
Understanding this gives a different perspective and respect for the final
stage of digestion. A well functioning gastro-intestinal tract gives the body
fuel and energy for all of our processes of life. The greater care we give our
digestion, the better we function and the better we feel.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A sluggish body is often the signs of sluggish digestion
that could also include the liver. Part of taking care of our digestion could
include routine cleansing and re-establishing the correct balance of
micro-organisms. Please consider an occasional colon cleanse, reflorastation,
and possible parasite and liver cleanse. Your body deserves all the help you
can give it. After all, if one doesn’t take care of their body, where are we
going to live?</div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-size: 16.0pt;">Injury with pain are so all encompassing,
sometimes it even hurts to read about the accident. However, to also find
solutions that bring about quick, easy, and painless relief is the positive
side.</span>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-size: 16.0pt;">This story hurts to write and if you have ever
worked with or seen a kettlebell you will understand. Michael Krivka is a
nationally recognized Kettlebell instructor. He learned about the hybrid
technology of combining low level laser light with micro-stimulation to help
resolve pain. Michael had not been able to sleep well for several years due to
back and neck issues. One Saturday he had this technology used on him and on
Sunday he slept through the night pain free for the first time in as long as he
could remember. Michael felt this was of such value, he began using this
technology immediately.</span><span style="font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-size: 15.0pt;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-size: 16.0pt;">At a national Kettlebell classes a lady from out
of town accidently dropped a 53 pound kettlebell on her hand from about 4 feet
up. By the time Michael got to her, her third and fourth finger were
sausages, discoloring and she could not close her hand more than 15 %. Needless
to say, she was in extreme pain and distress.</span><span style="font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-size: 15.0pt;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-size: 16.0pt;">Michael grabbed his hybrid device and worked on
her hand for less than 10 minutes. When he was done, her fingers were
their normal size and the correct color. Even more impressive was that
she had full range of motion in her hand and able to continue to participate in
class. Needless to say everyone was impressed and the lady was happy to
have not missed out on the joy of playing the Kettlebells.. </span><span style="font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-size: 15.0pt;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-size: 16.0pt;">When one can catch an injury fast enough,
recovery time is cut by more than half and in some instances eliminate the
damage before the body has time to react to the injury. In essence, it can
reduce the inflammatory response the body has to injury because the injury is
being resolved with light and frequency. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-size: 16.0pt;">It is remarkable what ones body can do and how
self-efficient they can be. Having and using this technology for myself
is such a bonus to the body’s natural repair and healing process. </span><span style="font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-size: 15.0pt;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-size: 15.0pt;">Where there is pain in the body, there is a 93%
probably for relief. Interesting as well, with continued applications, this
relief may move to resolution. The reason being, the combination of low level
laser light with micro-stimulation activated ATP, which is the body’s energy
source. What is occurring is natural function of the cell: the utilization of
nutrients, the repair to the cell, and the elimination of the byproducts of
life, called wastes.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-size: 15.0pt;">If cells are too debilitated, then they will
sluff off and new cells will take their place. If a cell is capable of
regeneration, then the light and frequency will activate the cell and it will
recover and begin to function as a strong healthy cell. As I observe our
bodies, it is amazing the wisdom, intelligence and capability of every cell we
have. Do we know “how” this occurs? In science, yes; however, the intelligence
behind this healing, no, we don’t. I consider this the art of healing versus
the science of healing.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-size: 15.0pt;">When one is in pain, no matter the cause, the
focus of our concern is simply getting out of pain. Medicine, like over the
counter pain pills are temporary, useful, but temporary. However, it find technology
that can bring about rapid relief, in as little as 2 to 10 minutes, is amazing.
The list of conditions that it can help is practically endless, and certainly
worth considering.</span></div>

Or see what you believe?<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<span style="font-size: small;">Perhaps when one is confronted with illness, diseases and syndromes on a minute-by-minute basis, almost every day, one believes what one sees and forgets the reality of living in a dream state. In one’s nighttime dreams, one can fly away from the problem, or plunge into danger and awaken to find themselves safely in the comfort of their own bed. If one has had the experience or training to Lucid Dream, one can even change the results in their “night time dreams” before they awaken to the daytime dream life.<br /><br />One’s life can be seen as a dream with continuity, where one awakens every morning to their dream-life that isn’t recognized as a dream, with a continuity of the problems, people and circumstances from the day, or week, or year(s) prior. Stretchy concept, isn’t it?<br /><br />A philosopher and thinker, Albert Einstein said: “Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.” Does this perhaps explain the continuity of life’s dream state? As a great scientist, Einstein spoke of “spooky action at a distance” as he related to coherence in mathematical generators that were responding to events prior to their occurrence. It is seen before major disasters, such as massive earthquakes, and before the events on 9/11/2001.<br /><br />Another German born physicist, Helmut Schmidt, is discussed in Bruce Lipton’s book, Spontaneous Evolution, on page 274. In his work, he connected a random number generator to an audio device to record clicks in either the left or right ear of a set of headphones. Later, a volunteer was asked to mentally influence the outcome of these clicks. To his surprise, Schmidt found that the volunteers could indeed influence the distribution of clicks on tapes recorded two days earlier, if and only if, the recorded clicks went unobserved until after the volunteer had the chance to influence them. Consequently, if they had been observed prior to the volunteer’s time with the tape, there was no subsequent influence on the clicks.<br /><br />Modern day speaker, presenter and participant in The Secret, Mike Dooley, stands on his key phrase: thoughts become things: choose the good ones. In his books and recordings, he discusses many aspects of engaging the magic to create change in ones life. Seemingly the most important one is visualizing the end result without determining the numerous possible “cursed hows” of getting there. Tomorrow comes with it’s own set of resources.<br /><br />So how does one relate to these ideas? Perhaps if one’s life is fabulous in every way, one needn’t. However, if one finds that anything out there is disrupting one’s joy, one might attempt to influence the unified field. Let’s look at some common phrases that might be heard in today’s world:<br /><br /> * In this economy, of course I don’t have enough work.<br /><br /> * Sometimes, I feel like I’m preaching to the choir, why doesn’t everyone get the importance of …<br /><br /> * The standard medical model just doesn’t accept integrative medicine.<br /><br />Yup, yup, and yup. Phrases are thoughts manifested into words. So according to Dooley, the Universe has to manifest these results when one has an attachment to the validity of the statement.<br /><br />TRUTH doesn’t care what rules one makes, it simply unconditionally supports those beliefs. It’s part of one’s dream, or one’s illusion; one can change the nightmare into sweet dreams by adjusting thoughts, words, deeds and behaviors to support a new goal. One can also change the rules so one always wins when there is understanding on how to change the rules. Interesting?<br /><br />In adjusting ones thoughts, bringing them into line with Truth more rapidly activates the results. Monitoring words in both an offensive and defensive manner is important. Offensively, one speaks of the desired results as if it has already occurred. Defensively, one avoids words that would contradict the end results as well as avoiding discussions with others that support i.e.: “the recession” as listed above. As for cultivating ones deeds and behaviors, begin to demonstrate gratitude and methods of operating in the new desired belief system. (Isn’t there enough for everyone in a dream?) One cannot know when or how the Universe will enter into your affairs, only that it will. Therefore it is important to stay the course and take whatever steps are available – just for today. Tomorrow, continue with the available steps. One only looses if and when one gives up.<br /><br />The understanding of phenomenal power available to each and every one comes with great responsibility. So how does one fit into the equation of being a reality creator? Become a thinker, visualize, verbalize the sought after end results and take small steps toward the goal. Move with consciousness to honor the responsibility one has with higher knowledge.<br /><br />As an experiment, challenge yourself to repeat the following phrases with gusto and emotion for several minutes each morning, perhaps getting ready for the day or on the drive to work. Make this commitment for only 6 weeks. Then evaluate the benefits in your life. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /> * It’s all easy.<br /><br /> * I am inspired and motivated when I need it most.<br /><br /> * I receive new ideas when challenged by any serious situation.<br /><br /> * I’ve got all the time in the world.<br /><br /> * I always have the right thing to say, at the right time, and to the right person.<br /><br /> * I have total clarity.<br /><br /> * I live deliberately and consciously.<br /><br /> * My body is a self-regulating, self-healing point of light.<br /><br /> * I hone my skills and improve my talents.<br /><br /> * I summon new opportunities.<br /><br /> * I’m worthy.<br /><br /> * There’s enough for everybody.<br /><br /> (Psst, it's okay to make up a few of your own, first person, present tense, and positively charged. <br /><br />If at the end of the 6 weeks one isn’t pleased with their progress, one can always make this a cross over study by returning to old beliefs and behaviors.<br /><br />If you wonder what you believe in, observe your life. If this is unpleasant and one would like to change their dream, instead of believing what one sees, one can now begin to see beliefs by changing thought, words and actions. While one could argue that we live in a physical universe, study of the unified field suggests otherwise. In conclusion, I would offer this thought: “Let’s behave physically but with spiritual awareness. Choose the good ones and take the high road.”<br /><br />Would you like more information on these concepts. If so, email Dr Victoria for a free CD to clarify these ideas.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">One might ask, “How can something be life saving and life
threatening at the same time?” The broad answer could be, “Whether this
something is used appropriately and not overused.” Antibiotics have been
available since the 1940s and have been used successfully to treat bacterial
infections such as pneumonia and even sexually transmitted diseases.</span><span style="font-size: small;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">The latest information in the United States is that there
are 833 prescriptions written for every 1000 people. That’s 4 out of 5
Americans, every year. With this overuse comes the problematic resistance that
causes these life saving medications to lose effectiveness, necessitating
larger doses, longer time using them and the mutation of bacteria to no longer
be affected by the medication.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">There are also times that antibiotics are used for the wrong
reasons. Many times ear infections are viral in nature, whereas antibiotics are
used for bacteria. To prescribe an antibiotic “in case” there is a bacterial
infection later is a misuse. One particular antibiotic is frequently used for
the symptoms of bronchitis, however a virus usually causes bronchitis. In these
cases, the antibiotic may not be warranted and could contribute to the loss in
efficacy when it is later needed, as well as the increase in resistance.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">A number of years ago, I received an autographed copy of a
‘novel’ entitled: <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Probed by Aliens</i>.
It was written by one of the holistic physicians who studies biologically based
medicine. The premise is that a civilization many light years away so over used
antibiotics that they were destined to become extinct as their immune system
and defenses became ineffective. So they traveled to earth to extract ‘healthy
bacteria’ from the mucous membranes of the abducted aliens.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">While I don’t think we are that close, we have certainly
compromised our health and made the overuse and abuse of antibiotics life
threatening. The super bugs and the increase in Clostridium Difficil are
alarming. Without a swift turn around, things will continue to decline.
However, my research into probiotic rectal infusions holds great hope. In fact,
my holistic research is based on scientific research published in numerous
medical journals over the last 30 years.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">The first such article was published in 1983 in the Lancet.
It reported only 4 cases in the study: two were for chronic constipation, one
with constipation from an influenza-like syndrome, and one with irritable bowel
syndrome with diarrhea and abdominal pain. The conclusion was: Bowel function
promptly returned to normal in all four cases and remained normal (one or two
normal stools a day) without further treatment. This article motivated me to
accumulate other valuable research on the use of bacteria to rebuild the
microbiota of the large intestine.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Since 1991 when I read the Lancet article, I have tested and
used multiple strains of probiotics in retention rectal infusions. It’s safe,
efficient and effective. It also bypasses the digestive juices of the mouth,
stomach, pancreas and small intestine. Essentially, one is placing the right
stuff in the right place and giving it an hour to colonize in the dark, moist,
warm environment of the sigmoid colon. This method is 100% effect with often
only one application, whereas oral probiotics are often destroyed by
hydrochloric acid and other gastric juices. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">After one hour, one can empty the bowel if needed. In the
next three days, the bacteria will continue to multiply and stabilize the
entire large intestine. Some people are hesitant because of the sensitivity and
privacy of the rectum, however it is the best delivery system. As mature
adults, let’s make decisions based on knowledge. Once we’re over this hurdle,
it’s an easy treatment that takes only a few minutes.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">I received an email earlier today from a client in Canada.
She was visiting Arizona and came to see me for body pain as well as
constipation. Her email said, “</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-size: 15.0pt;">My body has been in good
working order since receiving the irrigation treatments. I just wanted to touch
base with you, and hopefully I will be back in November. I will be in touch
shortly before then and hopefully be able to make an appointment with you.”</span></div>

<br />
Our gastro intestinal tract is a complex system that digests
food and absorbs nutrients to feed our cells; it is also where 90% or more of
our immune system works. The third component of this system is that it is where
we find a high concentration of toxins. In addition to this, there are many
nerve endings in the intestines so emotional stress affects the system. No
wonder so many people complain about digestive issues.
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
One must remember that digestion starts in the mouth as one
chews, since saliva contains enzymes that begin to break down carbohydrates.
Once food reaches the stomach, hydrochloric acid and pepsin begin the digestion
of proteins and fats. As this “mush” moves into the small intestine, pancreatic
enzymes mix continue this process. There is also enzymatic activity at the
level of the villi of the small intestine where nutrients are absorbed thru the
intestinal wall into the blood stream. This is an amazing process!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
One of the most interesting facts is the population of the
intestines. There are over 500 different species of bacteria in human
intestines. It is a highly complex and genetically diverse population that
interact with one’s entire body as somewhere between 40% and 80% of the immune
system resides. This bacterial community is called the microbiota and can be
greatly affected by stress that increases the level of inflammation in ones
body.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In a study published in Brain Behavior Immunology 2011, mice
were exposed to a social stressor and the findings stated, “Stressor exposure
significantly changed the community structure of the microbiota, particularly
when the microbiota were assessed immediately after stressor exposure.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Bacteroides (common to mammalian
intestinal flora) were decreased and the Clostridiums (about 100 species of
which 5 are responsible for diseases in humans) were increased. This certainly
indicates that stress weakens the innate immune system of the intestines and
causes changes in this balance.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As inflammation increases, so do diseases such as cancer,
auto-immune diseases (Sjogren’s, Lupus, Rheumatoid Arthritis) and the specific
auto-immune diseases of the large intestine (Crohn’s, Ulcerative Colitis,
Inflammatory Bowel Disorder) as well as cardiovascular disease. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
While many diseases are treated with medication, the side
effects often affect the large intestine with either diarrhea or constipation.
Many disrupt the microbiota, leaving the digestive tract further susceptible to
inflammation and infection. The use of antibiotics destroys much or all of the
microbiota leaving the body at risk. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As patient complaints rise, one might look at simple and
effective ways to bring healthy balance back to the microbiota. There is
evidence that the quality and quantity of bacteria in the intestines
contributes to the reduction of inflammation in the body. Certainly fermented
foods such as kefir, yogurt, kim chee, kombucha, and sauerkraut have wonderful
digestive value, as do cleansing procedures. Colonic irrigation therapy
promotes large intestine cleansing as it removes pathogenic bacteria, fungi,
yeasts and parasites. Without re-establishing a healthier balance, these
pathogens can quickly reproduce in the dark, warm and moist environment of the
large intestine. The introduction of selected probiotics when administered in a
suppository form will rapidly establish a healthy microbiota that has a
beneficial effect on the digestion, liver, kidneys, and immune system.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
To maintain and promote healthier digestion, one can look at
food combining for easier digestion, take digestive enzymes when appropriate,
add vegetable juicing to their daily program, and eat smaller meals. From an
emotional angle, one can take 10 or 15 minutes each day to sit quietly and
participate in some form of meditation or biofeedback technique, with rhythmic
breathing and a removal of thought, ‘just let things go’. When one can find a
method to release stress, studies have shown that it will support ones physical
health.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Whatever approach or combination one uses, the value is in
greater quality of life and energy to enjoy all that is beautiful.</div>

One certainly feels “dirty” after working in the flower beds
planting their spring flowers and tending to the rose bushes; all the while
enjoying the beauty and fragrance. However, once we are done, a good shower,
shampoo, and scrub is needed to remove the dust and debris. This isn’t much
different from what the inside of one’s body needs as well.
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Often I’m asked, “Where do these toxins you speak of come
from?” From the air we breathe, anything that touches our skin and on foods we
eat. It could be anywhere and everywhere. One evening I was driving home from a
meditation group when I remembered that I needed to get a couple of cans of cat
food, as the cabinet was bare. I knew I wouldn’t be sleeping if I didn’t show
up with food for my two fluffy felines.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
While I didn’t normally shop at this particular grocery, it
was on my way home and it had later hours than most stores. As I parked my car
in the lot, an exterminator truck pulled in and began unloading the equipment.
My eyebrows went up and I scurried into the store, picked up two cans and made
my way to the check out line just as the service man began his job. I took a
big gulp of air into my lungs, grabbed my purchase and hurried out of the store
without breathing.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
One of my challenges has been allergies and sensitivities. I
knew if I was exposed to this I would have challenges and need to do a big
cleansing detoxification. So I hurried out before there would be much exposure.
There are “studies” that show the pesticides are “safe” however they attack the
nervous system of bugs, so who’s to say it doesn’t also affect us. I would
rather avoid any exposure and be safe, instead of sorry. Fortunately, I didn’t
have any bad reactions. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I just wondered, if I had arrived at this store 30 minutes
later, I wouldn’t have known that I was walking into an area that could
compromise my health.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The interesting thing about one’s body is the ability to
store toxins as a safe guard against damage. There are both water soluble ones
and fat soluble ones. We often store the fat soluble ones in fat. So when one
cleanses, the fat and cellulite reduces in quantity. Getting fat to release
isn’t as easy as water soluble toxins, which can be released by sweating.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Two of the easiest and most successful means of getting to
the fat soluble toxins are using far infrared saunas and colon cleansing to
address the bile. Let’s look at the far infrared sauna therapy first. This
invisible band of electromagnetic light spectrum warms objects without first
warming the air between the source and the object. The tissues of ones body
selectively absorb these rays as the water in the cell reacts in a process
called “resonant absorption.” The frequency of the far infrared matches the
frequency of the water in the cell causing toxins to be dropped off into the
blood stream. Then it is excreted in sweat, feces and urine.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The toxins excreted in the feces can be bound in bile which
is a digestive component involved in fat and oil digestion, hence the binding
of fat soluble toxins. When one cleanse the colon and dumps old bile, the
toxins in the bile is also eliminated. However, one must be nutrient rich in
minerals since it takes minerals to make new bile salts. One’s body recycles
bile so that it is stored in the gall bladder and reused as needed during
digestion. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A method of removing the toxins from the bile while not
needing to eliminate the bile is reflorastation. This is the rectal
introduction of probiotics in quantity, quality and variety to provide many
varieties of lactobacillus and bifida bacterium to carry the toxins away in the
feces without needing to remove the bile. <span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica; mso-bidi-font-size: 18.0pt;">We might consider this planting
"flowers" in ones large intestine to bring health and beauty to it's
soil. </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One must admit that
our bodies are amazing in their ability to protect and care for us. Our job is
to give it the opportunity and methods to do its job easily and effectively.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So avoidance is our first line of defense and cleansing is
the second. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
