What Clients Have Said

 

Welcome to the May issue of my e-newsletter. My vision is to help you create a healthy, fit body; emotional harmony; and passionate, abundant living. The focus of this issue is Spring health and treatments for allergies and hayfever.  The energy of spring supports transforming a life of crisis management to a life that flows in all ways.  I hope you'll join me for my Free TeleClass on May 13 to learn how.  Details are below.

Health problems, stress, and lifestyle problems are out of control do to the prevalence of health undermining factors so common in our modern world. Most problems can be successfully resolved with a rational approach to diet, herbs, stress reduction techniques, Attitudinal healing and work-life balance. 

All of your choices Matter-what you choose to eat, think, feel, and believe; how you relate to others; your life's work; and the rhythm of your life all impact your well-being. If some aspect of your health or life is not working as well as you would like, you have many options when you choose a WholeHealth approach through my TeleClasses and individual counseling in person or long distance.

Your birthright is radiant health and joyful, abundant living. I've dedicated much of my life to sorting through the hype, studying with masters, and teaching clients how to create radiant Whole Health-physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and in their lives.

From my 25 years experience counseling and coaching clients, I've learned the many ways we stop ourselves from having radiant health and joyful, abundant living. Until these unconscious habits and ways of being are eradicated, your positive affirmations and visualizations will have little impact.

Every challenge is a catalyst for change so that you may experience your life and health in happier, easier, and better ways. Simply wishing your problems away does not work.

My Whole Health approach will help you recognize the ways you stop yourself from getting what you say you want. You'll learn many tools for eliminating unknown saboteurs that are draining the life from your positive vision for your health and life.  

My Life and Health by Design™ TeleSeminar was a huge success in terms of results in participants' lives and I've decided to repeat it beginning May 19.  Click here for details.

Spring can open you to a fresh, bright perspective on your health and life.  It is the season of beginnings, clearing out the old, and rapid growth.  Cycles of rejuvenation and purification are at their height in the spring.

During spring, with new growth of plants and grasses, many people suffer with allergies and hay fever.  This is especially true from spring through fall, but can occur anytime of year, especially in warm climates.

 

You're exposed to more than 60,000 different chemicals that accumulate in the body's tissues and organs, weakening immunity and organ health.  Pollen, molds, foods, and chemicals, are external sources of the problem. 

The root of allergies is poor immunity and malfunction in the antigen-deactivating capacity of the liver.  The primary organ affected is the Lung.  When the Qi (energy) of the lung is deficient its function is impaired and immunity is weakened.  When external pathogens attack the already weakened Lungs and immune system, the result is often allergies, sinusitis, and asthma. 

 

Symptoms from allergic reactions range from frequent colds, hay fever, sore throats, itchy eyes, mucus problems, irritability, malaise, fatigue, depression, skin diseases, insomnia, headache, and digestive disturbances.  Candida overgrowth is also implicated in extensive allergies.

 

Allergic reactions to foods are your body's way of telling you that certain foods are not appropriate.  Reactions to highly refined, denatured and chemical foods and other imbalanced foods are helpful since you know those foods are compromising your health.  You now have no choice but to avoid them. 

 

 

 

Xanthium is an herb well known to modern research and TCM.  It opens nasal passages, expels dampness (mucus), treats sinus headaches, aching muscles.  It is also effective against itching skin rashes, including dermatitis, hives, poison oak, psoriasis and eczema.   

Astra C  treats chronic rhinitis and allergic rhinitis; enhances the body's protective power, or Wei Qi; strengthens resistance; dispels mucus.  Also treats burns.  Take prior to the onset of allergy and hay fever season for prevention.  Taking Astra C with Xanthium while experiencing symptoms is an effective protocol.

For immune enhancement, use Cordyceps, Cordyseng, or Power Mushrooms.

Doctor Christine Northrup of Maine states, "dairy is a tremendous mucus producer and a burden to the respiratory, digestive and immune systems".  Hormones in dairy have been linked to PMS and menopause systems as well.

To improve immunity, use chlorophyll-rich foods including all dark leafy green vegetables such as kale, boy choy, collard greens, watercress, mustard greens and dandelion greens.  These help clear allergies because of their immune-enhancing, anti-inflammatory properties, and their abundance of omega-3 and GLA fatty acids.

Pungent foods help clear mucus. They include onions, garlic, turnip, ginger, cabbage, horseradish, radish, daikon, and seaweed.  Use basil, fennel, marjoram, rosemary, caraway, dill and bay leaf.

 

The rich beta-carotene content of golden-orange and dark green vegetables helps protect lungs and immunity. They include carrot, winter squash, broccoli, parsley, and the above mentioned chlorophyll rich foods.

 

High fiber foods cleanse the colon and lungs and whole, unprocessed grains are the best source, including brown rice, barley, quinoa and millet.

Nutritional cleansing can enhance your health and attitude, depending on why and how it is done.  Seasonal transitions are key times of stress when you need to simplify your diet and life.Spring is the most important time for detoxification..  Fasting and cleansing are not recommended for pregnant and lactating women and those who are weak, frail and deficient. 

 

Cleansing is a relative term and means purging of toxins and residues you have accumulated from dietary excesses.

 

Many people believe quicker cleansing is better and use rapid cleansing methods such as juices from fruits and vegetables and herbal detoxification products.  Fasting on an abundance of fruit and vegetable juice can seriously damage the metabolic rate and digestive strength, and can lead to abnormal weight gain after the cleanse.

 

I believe it's best for most people to do a milder cleanse using select foods for their therapeutic values.  Doing so can bring remarkable healing and foster a consciousness of patience and faith in the wisdom of living with gentler cycles.

 

 

Are you suffering with health, weight, or lifestyle problems? Have you accepted as normal problems that you know can be changed? Are you too close to your issues to recognize what may be holding you back? Do you think you'd benefit from having a counselor or coach who can strategically help you achieve your health and personal goals, and make a difference in your life?

Do you experience discomfort, unhappiness, uneasiness and pain because you do not have what you want? You're here to enjoy your life with vitality, abundance, and well-being--not just weekends or that once a year vacation. Have you gotten used to managing your discomfort, unhappiness, and pain--even become comfortable with it?  I can help.
