Uterine Fibroids

I just returned from having my Pelvic sonogram to check the status of my Uterine Fibroid.
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.

I had a lovely young Sono-technician named Julian, HI! 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'.

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.

Health and wellness to you all!

Avoid heavy bleeding, Anemia, & Hysterectomy

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.
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.

Bowel Movement 101

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".

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.

Think about how you go to the bathroom. Do your bathroom visits fall into one of these scenarios:

* 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.

* 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.

* 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.

* 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.



So what can you do to have a proper, effective, quick, & effortless BM. (Leave the Book/Magazine in the Living room)

1. Think of how gravity works - GRAVITY IS YOUR FRIEND HERE!
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!
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.
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.
5. Let GRAVITY go to work!

This is how to achieve an effortless Bowel Movement!

Aromatherapy Beneficial in Complementary Cancer Care

(click on this link directly to Mesothelioma.com)

By Jack Bleeker

Nearly all of us have been touched at one time or another by a personal or loved one’s battle with cancer. 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.

Aggressive cancers, such as mesothelioma, 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.

What’s important to remember is that no alternative therapy, including aromatherapy, can be used as a curative treatment for mesothelioma disease or other malignancy. What has been encouraging however, is an extended mesothelioma survival rate in patients practicing integrative oncology techniques while undergoing treatment. For patients battling restlessness and nausea, essential oils like Lavender Highland (Lavandula Vera) can be utilized to create a peaceful, calming setting to encourage a good night’s sleep.

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. As with all integrative therapy techniques, personal preference is unique to each patient and nearly everyone’s experience will be unique to them.

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. The practice of alternative treatment depends entirely on the patient’s overall health and their willingness to explore these non-traditional areas.

Visions of Sitting Bull

A view over the Manhattan Skyline. When asking who my guide was, this cloud appeared minutes later. When I asked for a name 2 weeks later-Sitting Bull is what came to mind.

Channeling Light

Why Channel light and what is light channeling?


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.  


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. 
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.


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.


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.
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.


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.


I am a child of GOD of which there is only ONE
An earth angel
A messenger of the truth
A conduit of the light
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!

Vaginal Poultice for the Wounded Womb

Journey Into Wellness Vaginal Poultice for cysts, fibroid tumors, infections, warts, or spring cleaning your flower!


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”.  

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 your life force 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. 

I recall body issues I had in the past and treatment that I had for both uterine and ovarian issues.  
I thought this is the perfect time to realize the need to heal myself.  This is what I set out to do!

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. 

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.  

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.

Here in my home land…. I am reconnecting with my many native roots…wisdom remembered……I have made amazing discoveries…….I love to share it, that’s the best part…..

1. Purchase some Wheat Grass from the health food store
2. Chop the Wheat Grass in a food processor, set some aside, freeze the rest for future use
3. Make a paste with Bentonite Green Clay purchased online here http://bestbentonite.com/
4. Mix a glob of BGC with the WG (enough to fill your vaginal cavity)
5. Take a piece of muslin and cut it wide enough so that you can fold it in a triple fold and then fold over
6. 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
7. Best to insert while lying down on top of a shuck or towel. 
8. Stay lying down for at least 1 hour, listen to healing frequency (Solfeggio) free downloads at www.solfeggiotones.com
9. you can do this for several days, I did it for 5 days
10. Depending on your stage in life, this may cause some drying of the vaginal wall, but the benefits far out weigh any minor discomfort.

Please comment and share your experience on this practice.

Uses and Benefits of Green Clay

Green Clay can be taken internally for detoxing and general tonic.
Deep cleansing extracting/drawing facial mask for any skin type and condition.
A healing poultice/dressing for wounds of all kinds, as a douche, and as an enema.
I have used it for All of these purposes.

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.

The Action of Clay
• Clay is not materially absorbed by the blood or cells.
• The action of clay is that it exhibits a negative charge.
• Toxic, diseased, acidic and pathological material in the
body is associated with a positive charge.
• 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.
• It must be consumed in a glass of water in order for this charge to work.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.

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.

Detoxing with Bentonite Clay

There are many applications and indications for the health benefits of green clay.

I have used it personally for Ovarian Cysts, Douching, Facials, wound care, and internal cleansing/detoxing.

If you are interested you can have a Facial clay pack incorporated into a Repechage Seaweed facial treatment. The results are instantaneous and leaves the skin feeling light, very clean, silky, and vibrant.

I am offering and express Seaweed facial for $40.00 you can add a clay detox mask for $5.00 for optimal results.

I look forward the sharing this amazing beauty treatment with you. Call for more details.

Human-Being or Human-Doing

The first poem, I recall writing or at least that I remember the words I had written was at the age of 19. Then, even as simple as the message was, sounded beautiful to me-however, I was at that point not fully able the identify with all that it stated.

“As the creatures of the earth hurriedly mottled through life entangled in all its’ confusion, they fail the see the beauty that surrounds them in so many forms”.

This is one of the lines that resounds so deeply, amidst what I see in the masses of society everywhere; a society of which I was once a member.

Recently, although it has been journey; even longer probably than I can fathom; I have decided to withdraw myself from society.

I consider being part of society, and conformity to it; as that of being engrained within the grooves of a record that just got smaller and smaller as the record moved on. Of course I do move throughout society now, without becoming distracted by all the influences. Without my self-centered focus on my hopes & dreams—society would be all to inviting to suck me back in, but I am in control of my entire life and chose not for this to be. I did not run away from society, nor did I turn my back on society. I focused only on being what I want to be, and beautiful things come to me out of that, which keeps me happy. So I just keep perpetuating that. I am addicted to happiness.

I have always been concerned with the happiness of others, especially those that I care for or those who pass through by life. I see some of them “hurriedly mottling” through life. Pursuing what they think makes them happy, yet many are still not satisfied, worried & fearful, stressed out! Why is that? I believe, based on my life experience--that there are many things that we think we want because we are ingrained to believe that we want, need and must have all the material things that will bring us happiness. So what do we DO? Without cognition, we enslave ourselves to relationships (jobs, personal, financial) in pursuit of money or other material things to gain what we want. This is largely due to media and propaganda. More often we get entangled in the dreams or dramas of other people’s existence, and get sidetracked from concentration of our own existence; our own imaginations from which materialize our dreams.

People are always doing things- I’m trying to Relax, I am going to exercise, I’m working, I’m shopping, I’m bringing the kid’s somewhere, I’m meeting clients……………but somewhere the joy about doing these things in the pursuit, eludes us for later. But someday (later never comes-or is fleeting to the next dreaded thing). Why does joy and happiness elude us, when it is right in front of us? All we have to do is look in the mirror and realize our magnificent being.

Examine your conversations, how many times do you find yourself saying I AM……, professing what you believe about yourself, beside how tired you are? Do you tell yourself good positive things to reinforce your endeavors? Many people are tired, although; they do not know how to break this cycle. One day blends into the next. Our lives become a chore.

I know how I broke this cycle, I realized that I AM a Human-Being, and not a Human-doing.

I AM!

YOU ARE TOO!
