My dirty little secret is out. I am happy to report that my problem is not drugs, alcohol, or nicotine, no need to take me to any drug rehab centers! With me, it’s junk food, and it’s been a lifelong struggle. The time for detoxification of body and mind has arrived, and I’m now in day 3.

Have you ever known you had to make a change in your life, and even wanted to WANT to make that change, but not had the mindset to make it happen? Well, that’s where I’ve been for the last few months and I have to tell you, I often feel like a hypocrite.

I mean really, “Achieve Health, Wealth and Inner Peace…then Pay it Forward”. That is my mantra, and if you’ve read about my struggles with rheumatoid arthritis disease you know that I’ve been able to turn my back on the pharmaceutical drugs that brought me back to health, and to overcome a debilitating chronic illness using totally natural solutions. So yes, my experiences have brought me to a place where I’m very grateful for my good health and value it perhaps more than some who tend to take it for granted.

Not only do I attribute my disease to a lifetime of poor eating habits, but intellectually I realize that I am likely to suffer more health problems if I don’t make a change. AND, I’m less than ignorant when it comes to what Jeff Olson has termed “the slight edge”.

So, what’s the problem? One word, addiction. One solution, detoxification of body.

In keeping with the perfection of the Universe, I’ve been getting hit on the head lately over and over with the concept of detoxification of body. It made sense, I knew that the right thing for me to do was to start a program to detox my body, and I kept eating crap. Until Monday morning.

Like any other day, I woke up, weighed myself, and brushed my teeth. Maybe it was the fact that I was using the natural toothpaste I had just purchased after having a discussion with a friend about the poisonous properties of brand name toothpaste (a story for another day…). Maybe it was that my weight was unacceptable to me. Maybe it was that I felt sick and tired of feeling lethargic. Probably a combination deal, but I knew that it was detoxification of body day 1.

There was no question, there was no inner grumbling, just knowing. Finally I had the proper mindset to detox my body and begin on a road to my best health! Mindset is everything!!

As I sat with my family at dinner, watching them eat the chicken parmesan I had prepared (one of my favorite meals…) my 16 year old son tried to start a pool to guess how long it would take me to cave – nice, right? After 16 years it’s hard to believe that he still doesn’t get that when I really believe in something I stick with it!

Here in day 3, I’m finding it easier than I ever would have expected. I’m not hungry, and have walked past a container of Goldfish on the counter several times today (I should probably put that away….). Honestly, the most difficult part has been drinking enough water.

If this post is part of the Universe hitting you over the head, and you’ve come to the point where your mindset is in the right place, you can find many plans online for detoxification of body. What I am doing is very simple – nothing but fruits, vegetables, water (8 glasses a day), and green tea for 7 days, which I will follow with a colon cleanse as a final step to detox my body. After that I’ll begin to add other healthy foods.

I’m sharing this confession and proclamation with you for a few reasons:

• There’s something about making a public declaration that helps to keep us accountable. Knowing that I will feel foolish if I publish this post then don’t follow through with it is just 1 of the many things that will keep me committed, even if the going gets rough.
  
• If this resonates with even just one person, who takes action to improve his or her life, it will be of value.
  
• The principles here can be taken into any and every aspect of your life, whether it’s detoxification of body, determination to do the next best thing for yourself, or any other fill in the blank goal that you wish to accomplish.

Do you have a public proclamation to make? If so, do yourself a favor share it with others. I invite you to use the comments section below this post to share your resolve with the online community. Remember, if you have the right mindset you can do anything.

Here’s to your health, wealth, and inner peace!

Looking for Alternative Cancer Treatments?

If you’re looking for alternative cancer treatments for yourself or a loved one, you’re most likely scared, confused, and overwhelmed. Your doctor may be pressuring you or trying to intimidate you into believing that there is no effective alternative cancer therapy, and that the only viable option is to cut out the cancer, destroy the remaining cancer cells with chemotherapy, then burn whatever cancerous cells are left over with radiation.

Did you know that this method results in a cure rate of less than 3%?

With odds like this, do you agree that it’s well worth taking the time and making the effort to advocate on your own behalf, or for a loved one? Does it make sense to question the wisdom and possibly the intentions of the medical field, and to open your mind and your heart to alternative cancer treatments that proponents of the cancer industry don’t want you to know about?

Incidentally, the cancer industry generates over $200 billion per year. If you think I sound like a paranoid lunatic, hell bent on exposing a corporate conspiracy, please consider this fact (as reported in “Reclaiming Our Health” by John Robbins, 1996. Published by HJ Kramer, Box 1082, Tiburon, CA 94920):

In a survey done by one of the most prominent cancer centers in the world (McGill Cancer Center in Montreal), 118 oncologists specializing in lung cancer were asked what they would do if they were diagnosed with the disease. Seventy five percent of them responded that they would not undergo chemotherapy, due to “the ineffectiveness of chemotherapy and its unacceptable degree of toxicity”.

As surely as I believe that the pharmaceutical companies, medical industry, and government are making every attempt to keep those cancer dollars rolling in, I’m equally sure that there are many dishonest people who are trying to profit through the promotion of alternative cancer treatments that are scams.

So, if you’re researching alternative cancer therapy you have your work cut out for you.

What Led Me To Research Alternative Cancer Treatments

Sadly, my current research has been done on behalf of a friend. He’s recently been diagnosed with liver cancer and given less than a year to live. I’ve been a believer in and advocate for alternative healing methods for several years, and called him the other night to ask if he was open to considering alternative cancer therapies.

What he shared with me was remarkably consistent with the material I’ve uncovered in the last couple of days.

• Despite the fact that he is considered terminal, chemotherapy is recommended.
  
• As a candidate for a liver transplant, he’s putting most of his hope in a possible surgical cure.
  
• He feels that since he has so little time, he doesn’t have the “luxury” of trying liver cancer alternative treatment options.
  
• He doesn’t know how to fight cancer and win, but he’s not ready to die.
  
• Basically, he doesn’t know who else to trust or where else to turn, except to the medical profession.
  

It’s human nature for most of us to follow the path of least resistance, even if it will kill us. My friend is exactly like every other human being in that we each have the power to make decisions that will impact our future either in a very negative or a very positive way. I’ve offered to send him some information and hope and pray that he will venture out into the unknown and become a living example of the power of alternative cancer treatments for many, many years.

In doing this research for him, I’ve found a tremendous amount of information and many great links, and feel a responsibility to pay it forward by sharing them with the world. Please understand that I’m not specifically endorsing any of the information provided below. One of the sites has over 100 pages, which I have not taken the time to go through thoroughly. My goal is really to point those who are in need to information that they may choose to accept or reject it.

Alternative Cancer Treatments – Information and Links

The links below will help you to learn about one or more of the main principles used in alternative cancer therapies. Whether you choose to combine holistic therapies with traditional methods such as healing herbs, or take drastic action such as seeking alternative treatments altogether, you can find some great information here.

Rather than focusing on the cancer, the holistic approach works to rebuild health and create an internal environment in which disease cannot survive. The path to health is with solid, practical steps which include:

• Detoxification of the Body
  
• Nutrition & oxygenation
  
• Strengthening the immune system
  
• Enzymatic therapy
  
• Mindset & emotional health
  
• Natural, non-toxic chemotherapies

These videos focus on the advantages of using Mangosteen juice to create healing from the inside out. Similar claims have been made about other juice products that are both highly anti-inflamatory and high in antioxidants. I’ve focused here on mangosteen because I can offer a personal testimonial to its benefits.

This is a sales site that promotes the book “Cancer, Step Outside the Box“. Although I have not read the book, I did research it and found testimonials from many prominent advocates of alternative cancer treatments.

If you choose to give your body every possible nutritional advantage, you’ll want to learn about proper supplementation. When I learned that a company called GeneWize had developed a supplement product that could be customized to each user based on their unique DNA makeup, I ditched the products I was using and became a GeneWize customer. Although I don’t focus on building a GeneWize business, I obtained a distributor account in order to save money on my monthly autoships. If you’d like to do the same I invite you to check out the information on my GeneWize replicated website.

This is by no means the extent of information available, but can at least give you a good start on your journey to knowledge and health. This is information that we need to shout from the rooftop!. It has been predicted that by 2020, fifty percent of the population will be diagnosed with cancer. You and I have the power to spread the truth and change the destiny of millions if not billions of people.

Hi there everybody!

If you’ve read my story you know I struggled with a rheumatoid arthritis disease that was crippling and extremely painful. It took away 2 years of my life but left me with valuable lessons that every one of you, whether you’re in great health or suffering with health issues, can gain from.

Your health is without a doubt one of the most important things in life. Safeguard it, cherish it, and never take it for granted. Wishing you well , Kathy

If you’re health conscious and are looking for nutritional products that will meet your needs, there are certain facts that are important to know. You may be comparing the cost of a pharmaceutical grade supplement product to a generic or multi vitamin brand and be confused about the huge price difference. The question that begs to be asked is, why are pharmaceutical grade supplements so much more expensive, and are they any more effective than the lower cost brands?

Believe it or not, many people are just throwing their money away on the low cost vitamins they purchase. There are several reasons why pharmaceutical grade supplement products are superior to the generic vitamins you see in the drugstore, supermarket, etc. Two of the most important factors are absorption and elimination.

Absorption Into The Bloodstream

The low cost vitamins sold through most retailers are manufactured with inferior products that are quickly destroyed by stomach acids once they’re ingested. Pharmaceutical grade supplements, on the other hand, are manufactured using a unique and costly process that enables them to survive the digestive system.

Compounds are added to pharmaceutical grade supplements that bind to the essential vitamins and minerals, enabling them to remain intact as they pass through the digestive process. This is an expensive procedure, but is essential in providing effective pharmaceutical grade vitamin and mineral products.

Once the essential vitamins and minerals have made it through the stomach undamaged, they’re absorbed through the intestinal wall, processed by the liver, and enter into the bloodstream. Then and only then is the body able to benefit from the nutritional benefits of the supplement. Due to the quality differences, any pharmaceutical grade supplement will perform in a superior manner to an over the counter or generic product.

Elimination From The Body

When comparing generic vitamins to pharmaceutical grade vitamin products, another important issue to consider is that of excretion. You may have noticed that some supplements are very hard. Because these products are usually not chewed, the body is forced to work extra hard to break down the materials and convert them to be effectively passed through the intestinal wall. The portion that is not properly processed is passed through the body and excreted.

There’s an easy exercise you can do to better understand the difference between over the counter vitamins and pharmaceutical grade supplements.

• Prepare 2 glasses of cider vinegar, heated to 98 degrees
• Drop a generic vitamin into 1 glass and a pharmaceutical grade supplement into the other
• Allow the supplements to dissolve for half an hour
• Chances are that the glass that was used for the generic vitamin may contain quite a bit of residue at the bottom, while the glass that was used for the pharmaceutical grade supplement will be free from residue.

The amount of product that remains in the glass after half an hour is illustrative of the amount of the total product that’s eliminated from the body, rendering it useless.

Conclusion

Although billions of people are taking vitamin and mineral supplements every day, most don’t feel any better, and are not any healthier than they would be without these products. This isn’t because we don’t require nutritional supplementation. Rather, it’s because most people aren’t aware of the differences between inexpensive and pharmaceutical grade vitamin and mineral products. Sadly, most of the money spent on over the counter supplements is literally being either dissolved by stomach acids or flushed down the toilet.

The bottom line is that if you’re taking supplements you should be able to judge the effectiveness of the product you’re taking. An effective product should return noticeable results, including more energy and an improved feeling of well being. If you’re not getting that, either from your generic or pharmaceutical grade supplements, do yourself a favor and find a product that will give you the benefits you expect and deserve.

If you’ve read my story you know that I’ve experienced major health issues and have become an advocate for the wellness industry. I’ve found a pharmaceutical grade supplement product that’s customized to my unique genetic characteristics, has kept me healthy, and has drastically improved my energy level.

As a person who has suffered through a severe inflammatory disease, I can vouch for the benefits of Xango. After having amazing results I naturally wanted to help others who were going through similar health problems but hit a roadblock.

Although others witnessed the mangosteen health benefits through my experiences, many were unable to buy Xango juice due to its high cost.

After doing some research I learned that anybody can buy mangosteen juice at most health food stores, as well as online. Not only is this about a quarter of the price of products such as Xango and MonAvie, but it’s much more consumer friendly.

Consider the fact that you can only buy Xango juice, MonAvie, and other direct sales products through a distributor. Shipping charges are hefty due to the weight of the product, and in many cases you’re asked to join an autoship program that provides delivery (and a bill) once a month.

Those who buy mangosteen juice at the health food store have the advantage of receiving the same mangosteen health benefits, without the added cost and shipping charges, and are able to purchase the amount they need only when they need it.

If you’re not familiar with the benefits of Xango and MonAvie you may be interested in my story. Several years ago I had a sudden onset of rheumatoid arthritis that first affected my right wrist, then both knees. I hadn’t learned about the benefits of Xango and went the traditional medical route of trying one drug after another, with no success. In a matter of less than three months the cartilage in my wrist had been destroyed and my wrist was replaced with a titanium plate.

It took many, many months of physical therapy before I could use my right hand, and though the damaged wrist had been replaced I still had the disease. Soon my knees became affected, to the point where I couldn’t walk without help. It was at this point that my sed rate (measures inflammation in the body) was so high that the insurance company agreed to pay for me to receive a very expensive medication, Enbrel.

After the first shot of Enbrel my pain was substantially decreased – it was a miracle! I was also taking Methotrexate, a very damaging chemotherapy drug, along with Naproxen to treat the RA. My rheumatologist told me that I‘d need to take these medications for the rest of my life.

Enbrel is a fairly new drug, and there are no statistics on its safety, and Methotrexate has a lengthy list of side effects – including liver damage. Needless to say I wasn’t too happy to learn that I’d be dependent on these pharmaceuticals for the rest of my life, but the freedom of being practically pain free was incredible.

I learned about the benefits of Xango and became a distributor so I could buy Xango juice at wholesale cost. Slowly but surely I weaned myself off the medications, eventually stopping them altogether. It’s been over two years not that I’ve been drug free, and my RA symptoms have not recurred.

My research taught me that the benefits of Xango have been documented for cases involving hundreds of different illnesses, including rheumatoid arthritis. It’s hard to believe that the mangosteen benefits could be so far reaching, but it makes sense when you understand one proven fact. Most of the illnesses experienced by the body are in some way a result of excessive inflammation. When inflammation is reduced, the body is less prone to disease.

Along with its anti-imflamatory properties, the mangosteen benefits include very high antioxidant values that help to nourish the body. Many who wish to create better health through natural means have found this to be an effective solution.

Now that you know that the benefits of Xango and MonAvie can be experienced without the need to buy Xango juice or the MonAvie product, I hope you’ll consider taking a trip to your local health food store. The mangosteen benefits are now within reach for those who can’t afford to buy Xango juice or other expensive alternatives.

Here’s to your health!
