<br />
Can be taken internally to detoxify and as a general tonic. Deep cleansing extracting/drawing facial mask for any skin type & condition. A healing poultice & dressing for wounds of all kinds. <br />
<br />
The many benefits are due to the mineral rich and natural state of the clay. Whether used internally of externally the minerals are in an ionic state. This means that the cells they come in contact with, can fully utilize them immediately via molecular bonding. The clay goes to where the abnormalities are in the body, absorbing harmful substances- leaving healthy areas untouched. At the same time your body absorbs the essential minerals it needs from the clay. <br />
<br />
The Action of Clay <br />
The minerals within clay act on multidimensional levels of healing and contain the elements existing and of creation!<br />
• Clay is not materially absorbed by the blood or cells.<br />
• The action of clay is that it exhibits a negative charge.<br />
• Toxic, diseased, acidic and pathological material in the body is associated with a positive charge.<br />
• The purification process of clay works by delivering its negative charge to an exceptionally large surface area. This is possible due to its very fine microscopic particle size. <br />
• It must be consumed in a glass of water in order for this charge to work.<br />
• It is conducted in the stomach and intestines, throughout the body where this neutralizing of the positive charges attached to the toxic materials where they are hidden.<br />
• The body is then able to use it as a source of purification due to clay's ability to attract this positively charged noxious material.<br />
• Afterward it is eliminated through the normal channels, having utilized the valuable minerals where needed and neutralized acid poisons. There is no way that clay can form deposits in the body.<br />
Internal Cleanse<br />
• First, put 8 oz of water into a 10 oz container with a lid (plastic or Glass)<br />
• Drop 1 oz. = 2 heaping tablespoons on top of (leave Do not stir)<br />
• Leave for overnight and then shake and stir until it is smooth like Ketchup<br />
• Take 1 teaspoon or 1 tablespoon in 8 oz. of water 1-2 times per day, as you have been directed by your therapist until finished. <br />
• Communication of your progress is important part of treatment.<br />
<br />
Important Note: <br />
<br />
If you are taking vitamins and/or any medications, take the green clay 2 hrs before or after. This will insure they will not be perceived as foreign and thus be prematurely removed from the body. <br />

Some Research Information</b><br />
<br />
WASHINGTON, DC- Americans are denied crucial information about more than 65 percent of new chemicals approved by the U.S. government since the mid 1970's, including the substances' makeup and what health and safety hazards they might pose.<br />
<br />
Why? Under the 1976 Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), the chemical industry has been allowed to stamp a "trade secret" claim on the identity of two-thirds of all chemicals introduced to the market in the last 27 years, according to an Environmental Working Group (EWG) analysis of data obtained from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). These include chemicals used in numerous consumer and children's products.<br />
<br />
The number of children diagnosed annually with autism is escalating at a truly frightening rate. In the 1980s, a study showed that 4 in every 10,000 children showed signs of autism. A recent study by Cambridge University`s Autism Research Center showed that approximately 1 in 60 children has some form of the condition. The controversy over what causes autism spectrum disorder has grown almost as rapidly as the number of cases, with most researchers searching frantically for a genetic culprit, while others point to environmental factors.<br />
<br />
Why have the number of cases increased so dramatically since, this law was passed? The 33-year old law that was supposed to ensure that Americans know what chemicals are in use around them, and what health and safety hazards they might pose, has produced a regulatory black hole, a place where information goes in - but much never comes out.<br />
<br />
The public has no access to any information about approximately 17,000 of the more than 83,000 chemicals on the master inventory compiled by the EPA. Industry has placed "confidential business information" (CBI) claims on the identity of 13,596 new chemicals produced since 1976 - nearly two-thirds of the 20,403 chemicals added to the list in the past 33 years.<br />
<br />
From 1990 to 2005, the number of confidential chemicals more than quadrupled - from 261 to 1,105 -- on the sub-inventory of substances produced or imported in significant amounts (more than 25,000 pounds a year in at least one facility). In July 2009, the EPA released the identity of 530 of these chemicals, lowering the number of moderate- and high-production volume secret chemicals to 575.<br />
<br />
Secrecy claims directly threaten human health. Under section 8(e) of TSCA, companies must turn over all data showing that a chemical presents "a substantial risk of injury to health or the environment." In the first quarter of 2009, industry concealed the identity of more than half the chemicals for which studies were submitted under 8(e).<br />
<br />
At least 10 of the 151 high-volume confidential chemicals produced or imported in amounts greater than 300,000 pounds a year are used in products specifically intended for use by children age 14 or younger. TSCA's failings have been repeatedly documented by the Government Accountability Office, in Congressional hearings and by independent investigations. But it has generally been assumed that at a minimum, the law required an accurate public inventory of chemicals produced or imported in the United States. As this investigation shows, it does not.<br />
<br />
Instead we have a de-facto witness protection program for chemicals, made possible by a weak law that allows broad confidential business information (CBI) claims, combined with EPA's historic deference to business assertions of CBI.<br />
<br />
"The chemical industry has turned TSCA -- a law once thought to protect people and the environment - into its own witness protection program, where it has safely stashed the very existence of thousands of chemicals behind the doors at EPA," said Richard Wiles, Senior VP for Policy and Communications at EWG. "Mafia informants don't enjoy the level of protection these secret chemicals receive under the federal toxics law," added Wiles. <br />
<i>Google ‘chemtrails’ to see what they are releasing into the atmosphere.<b></b></i><br />
<br />
EPA data compiled in response to an information request show that a large number of these secret chemicals are used every day in consumer products, including artists' supplies, plastic products, fabrics and apparel, furniture and items intended for use by children. But EPA cannot share specific information on these chemicals even within the agency or with state and local officials.<br />
<br />
No One except a few select EPA employees has any knowledge of their identity, and even they usually know nothing about their potential hazards to human health or the environment. How can we possibly have any idea what is in our bodies? We can't! The good thing is that we can get it out!Imani Trustee-091913, sui juris.http://www.blogger.com/profile/06281336192159147283noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4332165924561422039.post-75990224657886171032010-07-13T19:47:00.000-07:002010-07-13T19:47:20.065-07:00Uterine Fibroids<span style="color: #330099;">I just returned from having my Pelvic sonogram to check the status of my Uterine Fibroid.<br />
As i mentioned in an earlier post, I have suffered hemorrhage for over a decade. Recently I have started to concentrate more on the aspect of my health. Not on the dys-function. I made a vow to myself - to heal myself. I started this over a period of years starting with various detoxification processes. One such process is in a link of 'sites worth visiting' it is called the Master Cleanser - I have been performing this every year for the past 3-4 years. with wonderful results. I have also been drinking Xango for the past 3 years as well. I some amazing true stories both personally and of Patients whom I have treated in the past. Recently, feeling as though something was not right in my body- I started drinking 1/2 bottle a day for 21 days. While simultanteously doing the Master Cleanser (which I did for 10 days), meditation, and self-healing self-hypnosis. As you can sense-I am quite serious about this all.</span><br />

She informs me that although my Fibroid has not shrunk (any further than it already has in the past few years -by about 2cm? ) it is probably just not paying attention to me. The truth is I am not paying attention to it. Not avoiding it but concentrating on my healing rather than the 'problem'.<br />
<br />
Tuesday - I go for my repeat Breast Sonogram to check on my little growth, and see how powerful my self-healing powers are. Perhaps it has shrunk - I believe it to be gone. Soon we will see! If it hasn't resolved - I will continue. Keep my thoughts pure and my mind working and firm in my believe that I have power over my body, my thoughts, my circumstances, my life, MY EXISTANCE! I choose a happy and healthy one.<br />

<span style="font-size: small;">This is the herb I use when I get my period and start bleeding very heavily. I usually have them on hand. About 6 months ago, I started bleeding so heavily that I could barely raise my hands to wash my hair without feeling exhausted. I attempted to call several Herbal dispensaries around the NY area, as I was out of my supply I had purchased online. This was to no avail. Not one of them understood what I was saying.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Afraid that I was bleeding to death, I checked myself into the Emergency Room. After many hours which blended into half a day and $4,000 bill, I was released with a diagnosis of hypermenorrhea (heavy bleeding). On my way home, I stopped at Main Street Flushing NY, and purchased $20 worth of the Yunnan Baiyao Capsules. Took some in the car and by the next evening I was on normal flow again. Thank God for this herb, for without it I am sure that I would have lost my uterus to a hysterectomy years ago.</span><br />

<br />
Many years ago, when I was in my teens, my Aunt Ethel told me a little known - and even more dismissed from conversations -FACT. Hardly anyone ever hears or engages in conversations about "how to have BM- Bowel Movement".<br />
<br />
All other problems aside; One must never forget the powerful forces of GRAVITY. I truly believe that most people DO NOT actually suffer from True-Constipation, but rather a loosing battle against the forces of Gravity.<br />
<br />
Think about how you go to the bathroom. Do your bathroom visits fall into one of these scenarios:<br />
<br />
* Slouching and relaxed - What do you hope to achieve. If your Tired, take a nap. If your Stressed -exercise always helps, cup of tea, Bubble-bath, shower, Sex.. the list goes on; however, Slouching & relaxing does not produce a BM.<br />
<br />
* Hunched over rocking, straining, pushing. Just like in the Sopranos (if you ever watched one of the first series - Yes! you CAN actually drop dead having a BM); Although, this probably would not happen in the absence of other health conditions. Coincidentally, having proper BM's and eliminating waste, toxins, and parasites-helps to insure that some dis-ease process can be kept at bay for many years. (like Leaky gut syndrome). Google it! Very interesting read.<br />
<br />
* Waiting, giving up. Not having a full evacuation, Probably because your Sphincter muscles are conditioned to SHUT OFF. Do you take laxatives? These create a dependency to themselves and your body them turns off the natural process of Mass-peristalsis. Do you prevent yourself from going to the bathroom when your body says "it's time". This also shuts off and reconditions the body's responses to Peristalsis and Mass peristalsis. These are the natural wave-like occurrence of smooth muscle contractions of the alimentary canal (esophagus to colon). When you start to eat this is the trigger for peristalsis. Once you chew you food and swallow it, these wave-like contractions pass the food through the esophagus, the stomach, small intestine. Distention in the large Intestine (Colon) triggers the stronger Mass peristalsis. Mastication (chewing), Digestion (breakdown to Chyme-food stuff), Assimilation/Absorption (Small-Intestine utilizes chemical compounds of macro and micro-nutrients), Elimination (Large Intestine re-absorbs fluids/water and some vitamins) the rest gets FLUSHED.<br />
<br />
* Are you conditioned to the idea of reading in the Bathroom, the worst thing to do. Given the importance of moving Toxins and Waste out of the body, where they fester bacteria, parasites, and a host of other nastiness we don't even want to contemplate; it is probably not a good idea to make a marathon Chapter-a-Thon out of one of the most important bodily functions we perform.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
So what can you do to have a proper, effective, quick, & effortless BM. (Leave the Book/Magazine in the Living room)<br />
<br />
1. Think of how gravity works - GRAVITY IS YOUR FRIEND HERE!<br />
2. Sit in an upright position so that your rectum is in a plumb line to the toilet. Not slouched! Not bent over! Not slumped! ERECT in a sitting position!<br />
3. Take natural breathes - a little deeper than usual, until you get used to how easily and quickly a bowel movement can be induced. Breathing causes the diaphragm to expand downward. This downward movement puts internal pressure on the abdominal/abdominopelvic/pelvic cavities. Much like throwing a rock into a pool of water, this activity sends a rippling effect that helps stimulate peristalsis. No need to push!BREATHING is a powerful process.<br />
4. Optional - With hands in a prayer position in front of the pubis, bring your forearms into the groin-as if hugging yourself. You do not need to press, just have your forearms resting gently, in re-enforcement of the fact that there is little room for fecal matter to go than OUT of your body.<br />
5. Let GRAVITY go to work!<br />
<br />
This is how to achieve an effortless Bowel Movement!<br />

In recent years, trends in cancer treatment have increased the utilization of what is known as integrative oncology. This practice stresses the use of alternative influences, such as aromatherapy, in conjunction with traditional cancer treatments. In many cases, the most debilitating effects of cancer are those side effects of traditional cancer treatments, like chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Those patients who are best able to manage symptoms of traditional treatments are those who are most likely to experience overall efficacy in their specific treatment regimens.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" face="verdana"><span style="font-size: small;">Aggressive cancers, such as <a href="http://www.mesothelioma.com/mesothelioma.htm">mesothelioma</a>, are among those most commonly treated using the techniques of integrative oncology. These types of malignancies often require extremely toxic dosages of chemotherapy and radiation to effectively manage the tumor. Patients enduring the stress of such treatment will often find comfort and solace in aromatherapy and other alternative therapies. That which can induce a sense of calm and relaxation can effectively assist the patient in their battle against cancer. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;">What’s important to remember is that no alternative therapy, including aromatherapy, can be used as a curative treatment for <a href="http://www.mesothelioma.com/disease.htm">mesothelioma disease</a> or other malignancy. What has been encouraging however, is an extended <a href="http://www.mesothelioma.com/survival-rate.htm">mesothelioma survival rate</a> in patients practicing integrative oncology techniques while undergoing treatment. For patients battling restlessness and nausea, essential oils like Lavender Highland (<i>Lavandula Vera</i>) can be utilized to create a peaceful, calming setting to encourage a good night’s sleep. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;">For patient’s battling immune system deficiencies associated with cancer care, essential oils like Bergamot and Eucalyptus can boost the body’s internal organ’s ability to defend and strengthen immune responses. Some patients will couple aromatherapy with massage or other therapy to make their own personal experience more complete and comprehensive.</span><span style="font-size: small;"> As with all integrative therapy techniques, personal preference is unique to each patient and nearly everyone’s experience will be unique to them.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;">It is important to remember that each patient’s needs and comfort levels are different with alternative therapies, but that all patients are encouraged to consider their utilization within their greater treatment plan. Patients undergoing cancer treatment should not commence the use of external or alternative therapies without first clearing their use with their oncologist or cancer specialist. While therapies such as meditation or aromatherapy will likely not be harmful to the patient, more aggressive integrative techniques like yoga or exercise may not be in their best interest.

<span style="font-size: large;">Why Channel light and what is light channeling?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Most of us can relate to how wondrous the sun feels on our skin, how is warms us from the inside out, how it fills us with love, eases our worries, fills us with hope. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Are you aware that our bodies are made up of light, are DNA is light encoded, or at least it is meant to be. Have you been depriving your Light Body of Light? Light holds the divine intelligence the codes that spur the divine blueprint of Super nature which is translated through our 12 Strand DNA. Some of us are still working on the 2 stranded - double helix DNA, which is vastly limited in it ability to heal the body. Light is love, Light is sound. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Within the light are the Adamantine particles which make up our physical being-ness. We are all beings of light or light beings, as it were. We must make a conscious choice to active our 12 Strand DNA, and awaken our true - pure - whole nature. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I find myself wanting little more these days than to be close to the sun. I race toward it at sunset. Bath in it during the day. Always looking up into the clouds. Day dreaming. Praying. Creating.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">One thing I pray and ask for often is to connect with those who are also seeking the light, to be activated. To reaffirm the believe in that which we know is the truth. We are what we are looking for.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Find yourself, look into the clouds, into the sun. Feel the connection. Realize and remember the magnificence of our being. We can all heal ourselves. We can all heal each other.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">What I do, we all can do. Some of us are further along in our journey than others. Every ones growth comes in spurts. Layer upon layer of remembering our true purpose. We are not powerless. Our creative purposes and ability is so simple that it baffles me still. I have much to learn and apply, but still much wisdom to bestow.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I am a child of GOD of which there is only ONE</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">An earth angel</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">A messenger of the truth</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">A conduit of the light</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">A believer of not only GOD, but of the supreme beings --also children of GOD, who may communicate with all of us, we have only ask. They are here to guide us, love and protect us, console us, teach us......shhhh!!!! Be still and listen!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">My partner is far of tending to his mother in Italy. She is suffering from symptoms for several months now with no definitive diagnosis —“I won’t say the words or names because they are really unnecessary”. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Uttering the words brings them to life. We don’t wish to bring about strife, but to pursuit life, to hope, to dream, to dance, rejoice, and adore! Rejoicing and adoration, to whatever you consider <b>your life force</b></span> <span style="font-size: large;">evokes feelings of extreme love that fills you with abundance and joy…..Love is created in these cycles as waves of knowledge and truth and release healing energy. When someone is ill, the most healing of all modalities is, from the source of all creation. The light-rays of sun-absorbing it, radiating it back, be a conduit, emanating. Water, Minerals, and LOVE.Never under-estimating the power of Love, Prayer, and Intention. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>I thought this is the perfect time to realize the need to heal myself. This is what I set out to do!</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">After several surgeries I had an Ovary removed. There was threat of some tissue changes, which was why it was removed. Being of child rearing years and hormonal reasons, the other ovary remained intact. I have a fibroid since my late 20’s. This has shrunk considerably both due to natural aging, hormonal changes, supplementation, herbs & Detoxification. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><o:p> </o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">One of my most recent applications is a Vaginal Poultice, which is a simple self-care for women’s reproductive organs. It cleanses, Detoxifies, Tones, and nourishes right at the level of the epithelial cells. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I have one in place as I type this, generally I will lie down quietly and feel the sensations, I envision useless and harmful substances, and life forms being absorbed from my tissue, and are removed. The mineral nutrients needed for all forms of healthy life –Land, Sea, & Sky are utilized by the body to create new, healthy DNA and tissue production. Cells regenerate rapidly when supplied with elements of Life. My body replenished. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><o:p> </o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />

<li><span style="font-size: large;">Chop the Wheat Grass in a food processor, set some aside, freeze the rest for future use </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Make a paste with Bentonite Green Clay purchased online here <a href="http://bestbentonite.com/">http://bestbentonite.com/</a></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Mix a glob of BGC with the WG (enough to fill your vaginal cavity) </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Take a piece of muslin and cut it wide enough so that you can fold it in a triple fold and then fold over</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Tie with a small strip of muslin or string: make it long enough to pull the poultice out of the vagina when done with this home care treatment</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Best to insert while lying down on top of a shuck or towel. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Stay lying down for at least 1 hour, listen to healing frequency (Solfeggio) free downloads at <a href="http://www.solfeggiotones.com/">www.solfeggiotones.com</a></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">you can do this for several days, I did it for 5 days</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Depending on your stage in life, this <b>may</b> cause some drying of the vaginal wall, but the benefits far out weigh any minor discomfort.</span></li>

Whether used internally of externally the minerals are in an ionic state. This means that the cells they come in contact with, can fully utilize them immediately via molecular bonding. The clay goes to where the abnormalities are in the body, absorbing harmful substances- leaving healthy areas untouched. At the same time your body absorbs the essential minerals it needs from the clay.<br /><br />The Action of Clay<br />• Clay is not materially absorbed by the blood or cells.<br />• The action of clay is that it exhibits a negative charge.<br />• Toxic, diseased, acidic and pathological material in the<br />body is associated with a positive charge.<br />• The purification process of clay works by delivering its negative<br />charge to an exceptionally large surface area. This is possible due<br />to its very fine microscopic particle size.<br />• It must be consumed in a glass of water in order for this charge to work.<br />• It is conducted in the stomach and intestines, throughout the body where this neutralizing of the positive charges attached to the toxic materials where they are hidden.<br />• The body is then able to use it as a source of purification due to clay's ability to attract this positively charged noxious material.<br />• Afterward it is eliminated through the normal channels, having utilized the valuable minerals where needed and neutralized acid poisons. There is no way that clay can form deposits in the body.<br /><br /><strong></strong>As well as being an excellent all round cleansing agent and detoxifier, Green Clay is also useful for Yeast Infections, Crohn's Disease, IBS, Bad breath, Constipation, Diarrhea, Intestinal Parasites, Ulcers, Gum Disease, Gingivitis and Pyorrhea, cystic conditions.Imani Trustee-091913, sui juris.http://www.blogger.com/profile/06281336192159147283noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4332165924561422039.post-1308364633052762572010-02-27T17:54:00.000-08:002010-02-27T18:03:00.441-08:00Detoxing with Bentonite ClayThere are many applications and indications for the health benefits of green clay.<br /><br />I have used it personally for Ovarian Cysts, Douching, Facials, wound care, and internal cleansing/detoxing.<br /><br />If you are interested you can have a Facial clay pack incorporated into a Repechage Seaweed facial treatment.

So as a recap: I have had a formation in my breast since before 2005. It was recorded in radiology reports, but was not brought to my attention until this year, upon my own review of older reports myself through reading them. I was comparing my older reports to my most recent findings this February 2009, because I had a 1CM formation removed some years ago--and wanted to be involved and because I thought a 9mm growth was newly discovered. It was not--it has been festering in my breast for going on five years now. <br />
<br />
It has reduced in size from 9mm, to 6mm, and again to 5mm. In time in will be gone. This is one of the focuses of my self-healing. Considering that it usually takes around ten year period for a growth to change to cancer.<br />
Although my previously removed formation was non-cancerous, the tissue through biopsy was proven to show 'focal metaplasia' this means that the tissue is changing (changing into what is the question) I feel confident in the knowledge and the ability to care for my self. I also wish to teach this to others and bestow upon them the same knowledge. Prevention & Early detection saves lives.<br />
<br />
Now this may seem insignificant to some, but not to me. Now I realize the power of Self-healing, proper nourishment, and avoidance of stress in the health of Body, Mind, Spirit relationship.<br />

<br />
I have been feeling as though, I <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">wasn't</span> taking as good care of my health as I should, I had been feeling strange sensations in by breast. I also have been bleeding quite heavily for years and staving off the need for a <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Hysterectomy</span> according to doctors.<br />
<br />
I need to let you know that I am a Licensed Massage Therapist -<span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Holistic</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Practitioner</span>.<br />
Having had my own health issues, I came into the field seeking to facilitate healing in others,and I have helped many along the way. Mostly it is through the imperialistic <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">knowledge</span>, in which I have gained in allowing others to treat and bestow upon me the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">knowledge</span>, wisdom, and powers to heal myself.<br />
<br />
Well as it is I had not been to a Doctor for over a year for routines, partially because of a lack insurance, but mostly because my view of medicine is contrary to my beliefs on healing.<br />
But Those views I have published elsewhere. (I will post <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">XDS</span></span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Xanthone</span></span> Deficiency <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Sydrome</span></span> -theory at a later time). So I now have insurance, and go to the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Gynocologist</span></span> for a checkup and Prescription for a Mammogram (my last one was several years ago). Actually, I knew the doctor was going to ask for tests so I got the Rx first, had my <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">Mammo</span></span> and made the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">Gyno</span></span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">appt</span></span> later that week. My doctors <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">appt</span></span> was on Valentine's day '09. I had the Radiology center send my Radiological review to my doctors office. I also tried to have previous results of imaging and biopsy results taken years ago.<br />
<br />
Back around 2001/2002 I had a suspicious cystic formation in my R-breast, found in a mammography and at that time it was 1cm, they had me do a breast-sonogram which confirmed a formation. They performed a needle biopsy to aspirate any fluid, and after repeated the mammogram, they found that the cyst was more like a blister formation and was covering the 1cm growth. I came to find out that in a previous year they had suspected this. Medically terminology for us being on a need to know basis is "unremarkable" which could be something or nothing --but medicine will keep an eye on it and let us know when it is big enough to do damage or need surgical removal, testing, and treatment. Medicine is a business of repeat customers. I went back 2 weeks later and had the growth removed after a <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">stereotactic</span></span> biopsy (a highly advanced and minimally invasive procedure). The result I was given was benign.<br />
<br />
So, now I'm in my new doctor's office on Valentine's day, my new reports are in, but the hospital staff was unable to pull up all my info on a new system, so she had nothing to compare.<br />
I now have a 6mm formation in my L-breast. Normally medicine is not concerned with growths of any kind less than 1cm. But wouldn't you want to know before hand. I did because I saw the results I read them myself - as opposed to a common practice of having the doctor read them and then close them in the file folder until next time. Well, I gave her a very detailed litany of the things that were plaguing me. She gave me another Rx for a 2<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">nd</span></span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">Mammo</span></span>/<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_17"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">Sono</span></span> and needle biopsy to start. I was not given nor did I ask for Pills to calm other issues, which may <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_18">elicit</span> the dispensing of Valium/<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_19"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12">Xannex</span></span>/Prozac -as the doctor quickly understood and supported my decision to treat myself prior to invasive procedures.<br />
<br />
I have always <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_20">believed</span> I could stay healthy, by keeping a positive outlook, taking care of my diet, exercising, and being happy in what I was doing. Having recently chosen to get back into a former field of work, I was quickly reminded of why I had chosen to leave the field in the first place, and how quickly I allowed myself to be drawn into the stress, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_21"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13">un</span></span>-happiness, never good enough, not enough time, constant complaining, dis-like for others, judgment and <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_22">basically</span> ugliness that exists outside of what for the past 10years of my life have be behind me.<br />
Working on a one-on-one basis with the people who have past through my life and those that still remain. Undivided attention to their needs, not how they were dressed, how they looked or how much money they made, or education; but of who they are, what they think, how they feel.<br />
They have come to me to feel better. There is a direct correlation between our emotions and actions, and our health. So quickly remember to pick myself up, dust myself off and not let my emotions and work environment get the better of me.<br />
<br />
Anger/Frustration/Repression - cause imbalance in Liver/Gallbladder<br />
Sadness -affects the Lungs/Colon<br />
Lack/Over-joy - affects the Heart/Small Intestine<br />
Worry - affects the Spleen/Stomach<br />
Fear - affects Kidney/Bladder<br />
<br />
<br />
Mid-week after Valentine's day I get a call from the hospital that they have located my films and all of my records. I cried tears of relief -because I was a little concerned in not knowing, & being aware of how generally crappy and tired I felt. I left work early and went to pick them up.<br />
I stayed in the parking lot in my car going through my results and films from years going back to 2005. My biopsy did say "benign" but it also read the terms "Focal <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_23"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14">metaplasia</span></span>" This means that the tissue was changing. changing to what - if left to fester long enough or just life tendencies and risk factors - changing of tissue form from normal to abnormal is a precursor to cancer. That is what I have been taught.<br />
<br />
I also find out that what I thought to be a new growth 6mm has actually been there, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_24"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15">un</span>-known</span> to me since 2005 ( four years festering without my <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_25">knowledge</span> or choice to treat myself holistically ) but most importantly and a blessing is that during most of this time period, I have be in the Wellness and Healing arts and have been taking good care of not only others but myself. It was 9mm back in 2005. So it has shrunk in the past 4 years as-well-as my Uterine fibroid which has also shrunk by 2-3cm.<br />
<br />
So I decided to simply <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_26">amplify</span> my intentions of healing myself to include self-hypnosis - I down loaded an application called "ATTRACTOR" on my <leo_highlight id="leoHighlights_Underline_0" leohighlights_keywords="iphone" leohighlights_url="http%3A//thebrowserhighlighter.com/leonardo/highlights/keywords?keywords%3Diphone" onclick="leoHighlightsHandleClick('leoHighlights_Underline_0')" onmouseout="leoHighlightsHandleMouseOut('leoHighlights_Underline_0')" onmouseover="leoHighlightsHandleMouseOver('leoHighlights_Underline_0')" style="-moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-size: auto auto; background-attachment: scroll; background-color: transparent; background-image: none; background-position: 0% 0%; background-repeat: repeat; border-bottom: 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 150); cursor: pointer; display: inline;">iPhone</leo_highlight>.

I did the Master Cleanser 10 Day De-T<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_29">ox</span> which I have been doing now for the past 3 years. This was shared with me by a Therapist named <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_30">Merrill</span> -we used to treat each other on a bartering system, and share ideas, views and practices. </span></b><a href="http://www.mastercleanser.com/"><b><span style="font-size: 85%;">http://www.mastercleanser.com/</span></b></a><b><span style="font-size: 85%;">.<br />
Christ was said to fast for up to 40 Days. Fasting is also a well known remedy for ailments in preserved cultures, and also a means to spiritual growth and enlightenment.<br />
I generally do my <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_31"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_17">de</span></span>-<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_32"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_18">tox</span></span> right around this time. I have realized this time around that life becomes more clear to me and I have <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_33">Epiphanies</span>, I find overwhelming love for those around me and a need to nurture humanity and the world - to share truths.<br />
<br />
I passed a lot of toxins over the past month and even felt something passing my L-kidney.<br />
Someone I work with, who is actually younger than I had passed a Kidney stone the week before, resulting in a brief hospital visit. His experience compared to mind were not as intense.<br />
I purposely induced the cleansing - and although is was not pleasant sensation that I experienced, it did not result in the need to go to the hospital.<br />
<br />
I am going to have my breast <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_34"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_19">Mammo</span></span>/<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_35"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_20">Sono</span></span> again early April and know that I will be healed.<br />
I will report my results and maybe even try to post my results to you can see for yourself.<br />
<br />
I hope that my story will be an inspiration to you and help you on your quest to learn how to heal yourself. We are all healers. Hippocrates said "Physician heal thyself"' and "let food be your medicine"<br />
