The Importance of Maintaining A Stretching Routine

We all know that stretching is an important part of any workout program, but how often do we really follow through and do it. I am currently training for my second marathon and I often fail to do much stretching at the end of my workout. I am also not doing a regular stretching routine on my off training days. As you an tell by my last sentence we typically do not think of stretching as being of equal importance as the rest of our training. This is a huge mistake. I can feel tightness in my muscles, especially in the back of my legs, and I may be setting myself up for a future injury. I’m not sure why we knowingly do things, or in this case don’t do things, that could lead to possible injury and decreased performance. The fact is that if you will just work to increase your flexibility with a good stretching program it will be easier to maintain that level of flexibility in the future.

Candida, What is it?

Often people are unclear on what candida is or they may be totally unfamiliar with the term. It is important to understand what candida is and ultimately how to clear it and support your body to stay in balance. Candida is at epidemic levels yet many may not know they even have candida.

We all have yeast organisms within our gut. Yeast is part of the natural world and serves to break down our bodies once we past on. Sounds like a lovely topic however it important to understand how yeast works in our bodies and how it can transmute into a candida condition. Environment is of up most importance in whether a one cell yeast organism will mutate into a candida condition. A harmless yeast cell can under the right conditions turn into a candida parasite. A rule of thumb is that where there are heavy metals you will find candida proliferating. The truth of the matter you would be hard pressed to find anyone who did not have some level of heavy metals within their bodies if they have a candida infection.

We are Human Beings not Human Doings

I am really writing this post for myself and I know I’m not alone in our chronic desire to fill every minute with doing. Doing can be quite satisfying because you feel good about what you are accomplishing and our accomplishments can contribute to our feelings of increased self esteem. I know I love the feeling of crossing things off my to do list. However it is worth checking in from time to time to see what lies behind our doings. Are we motivated out of fear or out of a pure place of joy? I find when I have to fill every possible moment with what I deem as productive behavior that is a sure way to burn out.

It is important to pay attention to chronic busyness. Are you afraid that if you stop, smell the roses and just rest a bit that your life may fall apart? I know there have been times in my life that I felt I had to carry the weight of the world on my shoulders. Of course this was self imposed. The more I felt I had to do the less my life would work.

Gary Null Tells the Truth about Vaccines and Backs it Up with Science

homeopathic practitioner friend of mine just shared a series of videos on youtube where Gary Null delivers a Death Blow to Vaccines at NYS Assembly Hearing. He is thoughtful, complete and gives a comprehensive picture of the vaccine crisis our nation is facing. He is emotional at times yet rational and fair. I get how much he cares about the public’s well being. My take away from his presentation to the NYS Assembly is as a nation we have put the public’s health in the hands of individuals involved in the Vaccine industry whose motives are questionable, science is faulty and who as a collective have over 100,000 lawsuits made against them.

The two most important questions that Gary Null asks at the beginning of his expose of vaccines are, Are vaccines safe and what is the proof? Do vaccines work and what is the proof? It need not be any more complicated than that. However through half truths, omissions and poor and sometimes fraudulent science the public is being put at grave risk by feeling compelled to vaccinate each and every flu season.

The Life Enhancing Benefits of Water

The simple act of drinking enough of quality source of filtered water will greatly support optimal health. Water makes up more than two thirds of the weight of the human body, and without it, humans would die in a few days. The human brain is made up of 95% water, blood is 82% and lungs 90%. A mere 2% drop in our body’s water supply can trigger signs of dehydration: fuzzy short-term memory, trouble with basic math, and difficulty focusing on smaller print, such as a computer screen. Mild dehydration is also one of the most common causes of daytime fatigue. An estimated seventy-five percent of Americans have mild, chronic dehydration. Pretty scary statistic for a developed country, where water is readily available through the tap or bottle.

Not Your Grandmother’s Cleanse

Invariably when I bring up Nutritional Cleansing most people will assume an arduous process that limits your lifestyle and potentially has you in the bathroom all day. The good news this is not the case. So I bring this up early in the conversation to calm people’s fears. I have done numerous types of cleanses over the years given my health history and my desire to be proactive with my health. I always received a tremendous benefit however I knew that most the programs could not be sustained over any period of time.

Thank God, that I discovered Nutritional Cleansing over seven years ago. No more feeling tethered to the bathroom and cleansing symptoms were mild or not all all. Our bodies are designed to naturally cleanse and detox themselves and under normal circumstances with just periodic support through the seasons of year that would suffice. However, now more than ever we need to be gently supporting cleansing on a daily basis.

Why Plant Based Ionic Trace Minerals?

Much of the public is becoming aware of the importance of minerals in our diet however you would be amazed that there is still a segment of the market place that thinks of nutrition as only vitamins. Let’s get clear that without minerals in their proper form for human consumption outside of oxygen, we would die immediately. In other words if all the minerals were zapped out of your body by aliens you would die instantly. Yes, we need oxygen, water and nourishment but it is the lack of oxygen and minerals that would lead to our immediate demise. Minerals are the spark plug of life.

Forgive Your Way to Optimal Health

Forgiveness and living from a place of love is the greatest of healing healing states of consciousness. There is much we can do in terms of nutritional supplementation, exercise, energy work however when we distill healing to it’s essence it comes down to forgiveness. Until we forgive ourselves and others we are going to be consuming great amounts of energy in managing negative emotions from shame and blame. I believe until we truly forgive ourselves and each other we will eventually manifest disease (dis ease) in our bodies. Another benefit of forgiveness is that you can start right now and there is no class, or product to purchase.

Flu Protection Naturally While Creating a Balanced Immune System

There is so much controversy around pandemics, swine flu including the normal varieties of flues that one can easily get overwhelmed by the deluge of information. Of course we are getting arguments both pro and con on flu vaccinations. There is tremendous controversy around vaccinations and for good reason. When it comes to the phrase physician do no harm, we have to ask are vaccinations causing more harm than good? I will leave the whole vaccine drama for another post however here I want to give you immediate and helpful information that you can use right now to protect yourself from any infectious disease including the flu.
