Positive thinking overrides worrying.

Fri, 21 Feb 2025 23:05:07 -0500

Are you well balanced emotionally? Do you have a genuine respect for the rights of others? Do you try to discover your true relationship with others? Or has bitterness and unhappiness, in your life, due to worry, caused you to unintentionally cultivate a critical outlook on life in general?

You must learn to think positively, without worry. Thoughts materialize themselves into reality, as “thoughts are things”. Worry is a ravenous creature that can destroy you. It destroys your strength, induces major and minor illnesses, sicknesses, diseases, and can cause a complete nervous and mental breakdown. It can so mess-up your subconscious mind that an individual is totally unable to deal with circumstance at hand. Worry makes the slightest irritant seem like a catastrophe.

Worry, does indeed, exist. One must make an effort to conquer it. Develop faith and strength with constructive mental exercises, like meditation, on a daily basis. If you try, you can achieve a happy, peaceful, healthy, harmonious and abundant life.

By the thoughts you entertain, you can either strengthen or weaken your world every day. You can destroy your health and vitality in the same manner.

Most people are victims of chronic exhaustion and mental fatigue, with only a small percentage from purely physical reasons. Yet, over 75% are tired from worry and emotional difficulties. Emotional fatigue and worry can cause you to become thoroughly discouraged, terribly tired, and, at times, lose the will to live.

Our need is to develop a positive attitude by positive thinking and faith. Secondly, stop pushing so hard at life and get off the emotional merry-go-round you’ve been riding. We are possessed by negativity when we worry, and borrow trouble unnecessarily by conjuring up things that never really exist. We become so distressed and anxious at times over a normal happening that we personally turn it into an unbearable crisis, which we can hardly cope with.

Many common diseases are due largely to our inability to handle stress, rather than direct damage by germs, poisons, or other external stimuli. Stress, fear and anxiety are personal problems of most everyone and a part of life. Unfortunately, as long as we are alive we cannot avoid stress, but we can learn how to handle it and keep it to a minimum.

Vital health lies in the successful adjustment to changing stresses. If not, ill health and unhappiness become the penalty for failing to adapt. When a person stops worrying and develops self-confidence and self-assurance, a wonderful feeling of peace prevails. We must learn to carry out our daily chores quietly, without stress, strain or nervous tension.

We look at the world through the windows of our own mentalities and interpret everything we see in terms of our own mental limitations. So, renew your thoughts and make them constructive. Transform your life into a success story.

You alone can re-shape and re-mold your character by changing it the way you want it to be. Learn how to be content with what you have and don’t worry about what your neighbor has.

We come into this world carrying baggage as a result of previous actions. There is nothing you can do about that. But you can do something about your actions in this lifetime. Every action has a reaction, be it good or bad. Let the past work itself out but re-shape your future by your actions from this day forward.

Aloha!

Food allergies – 9 triggers

Fri, 21 Feb 2025 23:03:33 -0500

Some foods can trigger uncomfortable and health risk immune responses for people who consume them. Lately, we hear about peanuts and dairy being common foods people are allergic to. According to the Food Allergy Research and Education (FARE), 33 million people have food allergies and 1 in 13 children have them too. The FDA has concluded that there are specifically 9 foods that are responsible for 90% of these food allergies.

When the immune system reacts to a food it does not like, it is on the defense against a food protein the system feels threatened by. The immune system will then create antibodies to put up a fight. Food allergies come in 2 types. Immunoglobulin E (IgE) mediated are the most common type. When unwanted food enters, gE antibodies release chemicals to put up a fight. For example, histamine can be released which can cause anaphylaxis. The other type of food allergy is called Non-IgE mediated. Something like heartburn or eczema might happen as an immune response.

Some signs of an allergic reaction to a food could be dizziness, hives, stomach pain, vomiting, difficulty breathing, diarrhea, low blood pressure, and/or feeling faint. The most severe reaction is anaphylaxis. Symptoms of anaphylaxis can include difficulty swallowing, lips, tongue, and/or skin becoming blue or swollen (such as the throat), very fast breathing, sudden rash, and/or fainting/unconsciousness.

The 9 most common foods people are allergic to are the following:

1. Shellfish – The body does not like the proteins called tropomyosin, arginine kinase, and parvalbumin that are found in the crustacean and mollusk types of fish. Examples of shellfish include shrimp, scallops, squid, lobster, prawns, and crayfish.

2. Fish – This is actually different from shellfish because the proteins are not the same. About 40% of people allergic to fish don’t present this effect until adulthood.

3. Wheat – This allergy is more common in children, but most do outgrow is by the age of 10. The body doesn’t like one of the many types of proteins in wheat. Gluten is the most common protein people are allergic to which is associated with celiac disease.

4. Soy – This is from the protein in soybeans. Soy milk and soy sauce are common culprits.

5. Sesame – in 2023, all foods that have any type of sesame must be labeled. Many Asian food and sauces have sesame.

6. Peanuts – In the U.S., 6.1 million people are allergic to peanuts. For people under age 18, it is the most common allergy. About 20% of children outgrow the allergy by their teenage years.

7. Tree nuts – There are several types of tree nuts, and it is recommended that if you are allergic to one, you shouldn’t have any of them at all. Examples of tree nuts include cashews, walnuts, macadamia nuts, pistachios, Brazil nuts, almonds, walnuts, and pine nuts. Many oils and butters have these. Generally, tree nut allergies are lifelong.

8. Eggs – For children, eggs are the second most common type of allergy. About 68% fo children do outgrow this by age 10. Some people can be allergic to just the yoke or just the egg white. More people are allergic to the egg white part. Some people don’t have problems with eggs if they are baked goods or other recipes possibly because the heat preparation has altered the allergen.

9. Cow’s milk – About 2-3% of toddlers are allergic to cow’s milk and about 90% of them will outgrow this be age 3. Many foods must be avoided like ice cream, yogurt, cream, margarine, butter, and cheese.

Although these 9 are the most common, there are reported 170 types of foods people can be allergic to. Blood tests, skin prick test, elimination diet, and the patch test, are examples of diagnosis. Eating whole foods and preparing your own foods helps to know what exactly you are eating. Be in control of your ingredients. Unfortunately, food allergies are usually discovered after the fact, so some reaction occurred. Being aware of what other family members have been allergic to could be a proactive measure, but there is no guarantee. Some diets just can’t have some foods, so the restriction just comes forced.

Honey – Drizzle of sweetness

Fri, 14 Feb 2025 20:54:02 -0500

When we need a little sweet taste, honey can do the trick. Some of us put a little in our tea, drizzle it on a baked good like corn bread or a muffin, or we might add some flavor to our cereal/oatmeal with honey. It’s an “extra”, not exactly needed in our diet, but our tastebuds and cravings might say otherwise. The sticky, syrup nature of honey can be found in many people’s pantries. An interesting use of honey is for wound care, using it as a dressing for healing. It has also been used for other skin conditions including herpes, psoriasis, and dermatitis.

There may be some debate about this sweet addition to our diet. It comes from the nectar of flowers and is made by bees who collect it and take to their hive to produce honey. There are several types that vary based on whether it is raw or pasteurized and how it is extracted. Some of these types include sage honey, clover honey, avocado honey, orange blossom honey, eucalyptus honey, buckwheat honey, blueberry honey, and alfalfa honey.

On the positive side, no matter the type, honey does contain iron, zinc, and potassium, but in very, very trace amounts (less than 1% of RDI). It does have health benefits from the antioxidants it contains. Some advocates for honey say that swapping out sugar for honey is the better choice for your health because of these antioxidants that help fight against free radicals. It may not increase blood sugar level as much as sugar can. Some have said honey can reduce cholesterol, blood pressure, and triglycerides, but studies are rare backing this.

On the other hand, one tablespoon (21 grams), has 64 calories, 17 grams of carbohydrates and then no other types of nutrients such as fiber, protein, or fat. A little goes a long way, but a little has those extra calories we don’t need. Even a few servings add up over time, so the waistline might show it. How much honey you are having can sneak up on you. Keeping your sweet tooth at bay can be challenging. Maybe honey instead of sugar can be a start to the transition of having less sugar. Then over time less honey. Small changes add up to big changes because even small amounts of honey can add up to big amounts of unnecessary harm to your health.

Crest Syndrome – 5 areas attacked

Mon, 03 Feb 2025 21:45:50 -0500

When five specific diseases could be showing symptoms on different body systems, the diagnosis pending might be CREST Syndrome. These five areas include the skin, hands, feet, connective tissues of internal organs, and the esophagus. CREST is an acronym: calcinosis, Raynaud’s phenomenon, esophageal dysfunction, sclerodactyly, and telangiectasia. Other names used to describe this condition are limited cutaneous systemic sclerosis or limited scleroderma.

C – Calcinosis: Calcium deposits can be seen on the skin forming.

R – Raynaud’s phenomenon: The hands and feet respond abnormally when it is cold and when anxiety occurs. Fingers and toes turn blue because blood vessels are narrowing.

E – Esophageal dysmotility: Lining muscles in the esophagus don’t move and function normally.

S – Sclerodactyly: Skin can get thick and tight on hands because extra collagen deposits are present.

T – Telangiectasia: Red spots that are very tiny can be seen on the face and hands because blood vessels are dilated in those areas.

The symptoms that arise from the areas affected can include some or all the following: heartburn, persistent cough, joint pain, fatigue, itchy skin, difficulty swallowing, skin hardening, dry skin, hair loss, bloating, ulcers on fingertips/toes, discoloration of skin, neuropathies, fecal incomitance, and/or voice hoarseness.

Females and African Americans are the most affected by CREST. There may be autoimmune and/or genetic factors that increase the risk of causing CREST. Other triggers or environmental factors may include silica dust exposure, tobacco/drug use, some medications, Parvovirus, Cytomegalovirus, Epstein-Barr virus, and/or exposure solvent and other chemicals.

Signs for diagnosis and what a medical professional may look for could be tightening of skin around the mouth, white bumps on the skin, puffy or swollen fingers, and/or pitting on the fingertips. Additional labs and imaging can be done as well. There is no exact cure for CREST. Natural remedies and lifestyle changes can help. Eating foods high in omega 3 fatty acids, exercise, turmeric, ginger, mindfulness, relaxation, moisturizing, apple cider vinegar and baking soda baths, and regular baths with salt and vinegar can all be incorporated to help alleviate symptoms and detoxify the body.

The body communicates pain/discomfort to signal something is not functioning/operating normally in the body. Understanding causation, especially with autoimmune disorders, can be frustrating and mysterious at first. Advocating and finding solutions to keep quality of life as best as possible is essential. CREST may not have an exact treatment, but it also cannot be ignored. Healthy lifestyle choices are always beneficial, and we have to keep in mind that our body takes care of us when we take care of it.

For some, ignorance is a “blessing”.

Tue, 14 Jan 2025 01:31:08 -0500

The more forcefully we ignore something, the more power it has over us and the more strongly it influences us. Taking a clear look at the foods produced by modern methods and what we have been conditioned to accept, we find misery, cruelty and exploitation. Therefore, we avoid looking deeply at our food, if of animal origin, and continue to float in that big river in Egypt (de Nial).

This practice of avoidance and denial, applied to eating, carries over automatically into our entire private and public life. We know, deep down, that we cannot look deeply anywhere. If we do, we will have to look deeply into the enormous suffering our food choices directly cause.

So, we learn to stay shallow and to be willingly blind to the connections we see. Otherwise, our remorse and guilt would be too painful to bear. We, therefore choose to ignore and remain ignorant and inattentive to the pain and suffering our eating causes.

Being unwilling and unable to see, confront, and take responsibility for the hidden ocean of horror we condone to those who are sentient and vulnerable as we are, we remain hardened and blind by choice. We choose to be blind when we shop for, prepare, and eat the flesh of other creatures. Becoming insensitive to the pain that we cause daily to defenseless animals, we also become insensitive to the beauty of the creation that we oppress and disconnect ourselves from at every meal.

The desensitizing of millions of children and adults, on the massive scale that consuming millions of tortured animals daily requires, sows countless seeds of human violence, war, poverty and despair. These outcomes are unavoidable, for we can never reap peace, joy and freedom for ourselves while sowing seeds of harming and enslaving others.

We may speak of love, kindness, freedom and a more gentle world, yet it is our actions, especially those that are habitually practiced, that determine what future outcomes we and others will experience. The cycles of violence that have terrorized people, both historically and today, are rooted in the violence of our daily meals. Though animals cannot retaliate like other people can, our violence toward them retaliates against us in the form of heart disease, cancer, arthritis, constipation and more.

By confining and killing animals for food, we have brought violence into our bodies and minds. Our meals require us to eat like predators and thus see ourselves as such. We cultivate and justify predatory behaviors and institutions that are the antithesis of the inclusiveness and kindness that accompany true spiritual growth.

Because cruelty is inescapable in confining, mutilating, and slaughtering animals for food, we have been forced from childhood to be distracted and inattentive perpetrators of cruelty. As infants, we have no idea what “veal”, “turkey”, “egg”, “fish” or “beef” actually are, or where they come from. We don’t know what horror is visited upon helpless creatures in order to create the easily available concoctions being spooned into our little teething mouths and developing consciousnesses.

In time, we accept this indoctrination of denial and cruelty as normal and our meals become rituals of distraction and repressed sensitivity and guilt. The price we pay for this is the dulling of our innate intelligence and compassion.

Aloha!

Detoxifying Heavy Metals and Parasites the Easy Way

Tue, 14 Jan 2025 01:27:58 -0500

A Look at the power of Fulvic Mineral Acid Baths

Does it seem like every other ad on line is for a parasite or metal cleanse? I am seeing it too. A lot of buzz has been created around the subject recently and I am happy to see that it has. Clearing metals from my own body did me a world of good and I am happy to share my experiences with all of you.

If you’re a health enthusiast constantly on the lookout for your next natural detox solution that actually works, read on.

Fulvic Mineral Acid Baths

Picture this: you’re lounging in a warm bath, and tiny magical particles are working behind the scenes like little scavengers, locating and capturing heavy metals and parasites that reside in your body. Fulvic mineral acid acts much like nature’s sponge—it binds the unwanted guests and helps you wash them away. It’s like having a personal detox army at your service, all while you’re soaking in a coffee brown sea of tranquility.

How Fulvic Minerals Work

Think of fulvic acid like a master locksmith, skillfully unlocking the natural pathways of your body to promote healing and rejuvenation. By addressing the root causes of toxicity, these baths not only detoxify but also energize and repair.

Directions:

You can purchase fulvic acid baths online. They come in powder form. Run your warm bath as hot as you like it. You will be sitting in it for 30 minutes. Let the tub fill completely and turn the water off. Only then should you add 3 tea spoons full of the powder. *Its so light that if you dump it in while the water is running that wind created by the stream is enough to blow that powder all over and make a mess. I learned this the hard way. You then stir it in with your hand. There will be clumps, just squeeze and break them up. This stuff looks like a really find ground coffee.

Get in, have a seat, make yourself comfortable. When the timer beeps, get out and leave the water in the tub. Set your timer for another 30 minutes. When you come back, use a flashlight or the light on your phone and look at the surface of the water. If you released metals it will look like a reflective mirror. If you release parasites they will then be floating on the top as well.

Are Fulvic Acid Baths Safe?

While fulvic mineral acid baths are generally safe for most people, if you are pregnant, nursing, or have pre-existing health conditions, it’s always a good idea to chat with your healthcare provider.

After the Bath

You may experience some achiness. What I felt was bone deep achy for 3 days on the first bath. My tub was very reflective. I repeated this bath 3 or 4 times within a month. The only time it was super reflective was bath #1.

After that initial 3 day period, I felt better! I felt lighter. I had more energy. I had previously done a hair test and come up positive for high levels of mercury and aluminum. Following this I did blood test. I came up totally clear. I did not personally release any parasites that I could visibly see.

Fulvic mineral acid baths offer a holistic non invasive approach to combating heavy metals and parasites within our bodies. It’s more than just self-care; it’s a gateway to a recharged and detoxified you.

Sushi – Rolls with debatable nutrition

Tue, 14 Jan 2025 01:25:18 -0500

Rice, fish raw or cooked, and vegetables wrapped in seaweed create the masterpiece of sushi. A sushi date night can be part of a healthy diet. Originating in Japan, sushi has become a popular food selection with many varieties to please everyone at the table.

The combination of ingredients in sushi can be nutritious. The fish in sushi provides protein, omega 3 fatty acids, vitamin D, iodine as well as other vitamins and minerals. The type of seaweed in sushi is called Nori. One roll of sushi doesn’t have a ton of seaweed, but it does contain magnesium, iron, vitamin A, C, E, phosphorus, and thiamine. Wasabi is the paste that is served with sushi. It comes from the same family as cabbage, mustard, and horseradish. It contains beta carotene, isothiocyanates, and glucosinolates. The compounds are anti-inflammatory, anticancer, and antibacterial. Pickled ginger is used to cleanse the palate in eating pieces of sushi. Ginger has copper, magnesium, potassium, and manganese. Ginger has been linked to improving memory, reducing nausea, muscle pain, LDL bad cholesterol, and menstrual pain.

There are some downsides to eating sushi. White rice that fills the roll is a refined carbohydrate. Eating refined carbs can raise blood pressure and there is little nutritional benefit because most of the vitamins, minerals, and fiber have been stripped. Sushi rice usually has sugar added to it. An alternative can be asking for brown rice to increase fiber content and/or more vegetables than rice in the rolls. Refined carbs break down quickly in the body so often hunger is not satisfied just a short time after eating sushi. The sauces and toppings can be high in sodium and fat, such as soy sauce and fired tempura batter. The fish in sushi is raw so there is an increased risk for Salmonella, Anisakis and Diphyllobothrium parasites, and various Vibrio bacteria, The FDA doesn’t regulate the fish used in sushi. Eating some types of fish also have toxins like mercury in them. Having a sushi meal usually means there will be a lot of salt. The rice might be cooked with salt, the fish and vegetables might be smoked or pickled, and soy sauce can be used to dip. Often sushi is served with miso soup which is very high in sodium.

Tips for keeping sushi on the healthier side include asking for brown rice instead of white. Temaki rolls typically contain less rice. Avoiding rolls that have sauce, tempura, or cream cheese. Use low sodium soy sauce and only lightly dip the rolls. Sashimi and edamame can be ordered on the side to increase protein and satisfy hunger. It’s always important to eat at reputable food locations to ensure proper food handling measures are followed.

There are so many types of sushi and so many locations offering sushi now. Making sushi at home has also become a popular activity. Sushi can be healthy based upon your order. Sometimes sticking to the basics even with your sushi order is the best approach to know what you are putting into your body and to help with weight management.

Limes – Sour packed health benefits

Fri, 03 Jan 2025 18:44:08 -0500

When looking for a little sour taste, limes are the answer. This green citrus fruit comes in different shapes and sizes called species. There are Persian limes, Key limes, makrut lime, and desert limes. In Mexican and Southeast Asia limes are a staple for their dishes. In India, limes are pickled. Many alcohol beverages incorporate lime. Lots of desserts include lime such as Key lime pie, as well as ice cream and cookies. Some nontoxic sprays use lime with vinegar as a cleaning product. There are lime scented lotions, sprays, and candles too.

Limes have health benefits. They might be small, but they are packed with a big amount of vitamin C. A medium lime has about 20 calories, 22% of the recommended daily value (DV) for vitamin C, 7 grams of carbohydrates, 1.9 grams of fiber, 2% of the DV for iron, 2% of the DV for Vitamin B6, and 2% of the DV for thiamin (helps turn carbohydrates into energy). The amount of vitamin C limes helps boost immunity. Vitamin C increases the production of white blood cells which are the foundation of a strong immune system. Vitamin C also helps lower high blood pressure, which can prevent heart disease. Plus, limes contain antioxidants that help cells fight off free radicals. Flavonoids are a type of antioxidant that help stop the genes that cause cancer from progressing. Vitamin C is also a collagen producer in the body which is great for skin. Collagen keeps skin strong and firm. Antioxidants also help skin age well by fighting against oxidative stress that can cause premature aging.

Another reason to keep limes around is because they help the body absorb iron. Low blood iron levels can cause anemia. For people who do not eat meat sources of iron, but rather follow a more plant-based diet, limes can help absorb iron from plants more efficiently. Limes also keep kidney stones away. Citrus helps keep the levels of citrate in the body down so that minerals won’t form in urine.

Besides a little acid reflux or weaking enamel on the teeth, the pros of limes outweigh these side effects. Limes are found in nearly every grocery store almost always right next the lemons. Many people have lime trees in their backyards. Limes have many uses and many benefits that sometimes get overshadowed by other members of the citrus family. They’re a green machine even if tiny in size.

Sage – Array & aroma of benefits

Wed, 11 Dec 2024 00:48:37 -0500

The strong aroma of just a tiny bit of sage goes a long way. Sage is part of the mint family which includes herbs like basil, oregano, and rosemary. We often hear of sage being used for spiritual reasons and are unaware of health benefits it has and its versatility. Sage is often an ingredient in tomato sauce, with eggs, in stuffings, as a garnish, as a rub for meats, and for flavor with vegetables.

Sage does contain vitamin K, calcium, manganese, iron, vitamin A, copper, zinc, vitamin B6, and fiber. Although most of these nutrients are in trace amounts, sage contains 10% of the amount of vitamin K you need. Plus, it is packed with antioxidants that fight free radicals. Sage has over 160 polyphenols which are plant-based compounds that act like antioxidants. These compounds keep inflammation down, are anticancer, and are neuroprotective. Sage can help ward off certain types of cancer-causing cells from growing abnormally. Antioxidants also help the brain. It helps stop the breakdown or halt the breakdown of the chemical messenger acetylcholine (ACH which is used for memory. People with Alzheimer’s disease have low levels of ACH.

The aroma of sage contains rosemarinic acid, rutin, ellagic acid, caffeic acid, and chlorogenic acid. These have been found to be beneficial for health as well.

There are some interesting benefits of sage that might seem unconventional. Sage is also useful for women in menopause. It can help reduce symptoms including sweating, vaginal dryness, hot flashes, and feeling irritable. There is a decline in estrogen during menopause and sage acts like estrogen in the body which reduces symptoms. Sage can be an ingredient in mouthwash that can fight off plaque. It can break down Streptococcus mutans bacteria that causes cavities.

Sage can also help lower “LDL” which is bad cholesterol. Sage can keep diabetes away too. It helps lower blood sugar levels and improves insulin sensitivity. It also helps the skin by keeping wrinkles away. Some people use sage to alleviate diarrhea symptoms.

There are some herbs like sage that don’t get all the credit they deserve. With so many uses, sage is something to keep in stock. Between cooking, aroma, dental care, and health benefits, sage doesn’t skip a positive note. Many people grow it, and practically all stores carry it. Add some sage to parts of your life and reap the benefits this herb generously offers.
