Metaphysical Healing

Uncategorized No Comments

It is with great pleasure I have permission to share a statement of a believer in Metaphysical Healing methodologies and protocol.

We go to a medical doctor because of a symptom and often receive what we have asked for…a way to get rid of the symptom. This type of ‘healing’ is superficial. The cause of the symptom is not gone, and it is only a matter of time before the symptoms reappear. A medical doctor can measure results on the basis of whether the symptom has temporarily disappeared or not. A metaphysical healer is looking to the root of the problem…the energy of the problem within your system. In order to ‘heal’ this deep, the client MUST be actively involved in the healing process. Metaphysical healers bring focus on the root cause of the problem - although identification of the problem is not all that is needed to find healing, it helps and is the first step! It is then together that the client and the healer can investigate the root problem (through whatever means you are most comfortable with…could be regression, could be soul work, could be an intensive healing retreat etc.). This step can be done alone though, without a healer if you have some knowledge of the steps required of you…this is the part where a healer (if you choose to use one) can only guide you through the process. You are really the one doing the healing.

You may argue at this point that you don’t really NEED the healer then - and in part you would be right! The healer is there to help YOU to see the root problem, if you are not able to see it for yourself…. Linda

When observing the state of Western Medicine and the unprecedented influence of pharmaceuticals and over-the-counter (OTC) drugs, an interesting paradox arises. The drug companies claim that pharmaceuticals and OTC can do wonders for people: lower cholesterol, end clinical depression, reverse osteoporosis, eliminate allergies, cure cancer, cure MS, calm children and many other similar promises.

If prescription or OTC drugs are so good for people, where are all the healthy medicated customers? The truth is, there aren’t, any. There is nobody taking twelve prescriptions or OTC drugs with a clean bill of health. In fact, the more prescriptions a person takes, the worse their overall health. And if you approach the healthiest people you can find and ask what prescription drugs or OTC drugs they are taking in order to be so healthy, they give you a confused look: Healthy people do not take prescription or OTC drugs!

This sort of language is not uncommon from researchers in Western Medicine. They perceive the human body as a battleground on which wars are waged against invaders (viruses, bacterial infections and tumors). Beginning with the Victorian era, Western society has become addicted to quick fixes and results with no effort. Western Medicine has in some instances provided this result. When Western Medicine does not produce a quick fix result the answer is: Sorry, it couldnt be helpedthe surgery was a success, the patient died. It is interesting to note the AMA reports a dismal success rateapproximately 250,000 people die each year due to misdiagnosis and/or the treatment does little or nothing to improve the persons health. In other words these people did not die due to an illness they died due to the wrong treatment.

Western Medicines theory and doctrines fail to recognize that diseases are not separate from the person. In fact every disease can be more accurately called an expression of the patient’s lifestyle, beliefs, and energies. Cancer is not a tumor, for example: it is a systemic disorder that can only truly be cured by helping to support the body, not by attacking it with chemical bombs or knives. The tumor is merely one physical expression of the systemic disorder, and simply removing the tumor does nothing to cure the disease.

The body is designed to heal itself provided it has the proper support to do its jobnutrition, herbal and mineral supplements, spiritual and emotional well-being and peace of mind. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is based on a concept of balanced qi (pronounced chee), or vital energy, that is believed to flow throughout the body. Qi is proposed to regulate a person’s spiritual, emotional, mental, and physical balance and to be influenced by the opposing forces of yin (negative energy) and yang (positive energy). Disease is proposed to result from the flow of qi being disrupted and yin and yang becoming imbalanced. Among the components of TCM are herbal and nutritional therapy, restorative physical exercises, meditation, acupuncture, and remedial massage.

Holistic, Metaphysical, Energy or Mind, Body, Spirit healing has existed since the beginning of time amid religious beliefs and practices, along with the mystery, superstition, fear, and misunderstanding. Holistic Healing is now becoming recognized regardless of what anyone chooses to believe or think. Ask almost anyone about their spiritual well-being and they will probably tell you, Yeah, I am a spiritual person, I go to church frequently. Therein, the confusion arises out of the association of healing with religion. The majority of people, including religious leaders, do not understand the difference.

Holistic Healthcare practices include:

Acupuncture
Aromatherapy/flower essences
Ayurvedic medicine
Bio-feedback
Chelation therapy
Chiropractic
Craniopathy
Essential Oils
Guided imagery Herbology/Herbal remedies
Homeopathy
Hydrotherapy
Hypnosis/Regression
Iridology
Massage

Mind, Body, Spirit healing (using the unconscious mind)
Movement and exercise therapy

10 Natural Agents To Help Protect Against Heart &amp Lung Disease

Uncategorized No Comments

There are many natural agents widely available that can improve your health. Here are 10 natural agents proven to help protect against Heart and Lung Disease.

Vitamin C

Study after study has shown how taking a daily dose of Vitamin C (1g a day) really can lower your risk of cardiovascular disease. This nutrient also protects the lungs, especially in smokers. Smoking increases your need for Vitamin C and smokers are recommended to take an extra 35mg a day to compensate.

The richest food source of vitamin C is acerola berries and Viridian (http://www.viridian.com) has launched a new vitamin C made from this fruit.

Hawthorn

Roman physicians used hawthorn as a cardio tonic in the first century AD and clinical studies now show that its healing action is thanks to the presence of proanthocyanidins - red and purple pigments (sometimes called anthocyanins) found in plants which help prevent degenerative disease of the heart, blood vessels and lungs, and are thought to help reverse arthesosclerotic plaque deposits.

Cleverly hawthorn can re-regulate both high and low blood pressure and works to dilate both peripheral and coronary blood vessels, making it a useful aid in the management of angina.

Garlic

With the advent of more cutting-edge remedies, such as red yeast, it seems almost old fashioned now to recommend garlic as a cardiocascular tonic, but it does still merit a mention as a broad-spectrum treatment for arterial disease.

The active agent is an odourless chemical called alliin. When you cut or crush raw garlic, this is immediately converted to allicin, which is the substance that gives garlic its powerful smell.

Allicin then rapidly breaks down into various components and unless herbal remedy manufacturers who want to offer odourless capsules, find a way to stop this process, no active agents will be left. This is the reason there is so much controversy about the different brands and forms of garlic.

Apples

An apple a day may help keep lung cancer at bay, according to preliminary evidence that suggests a very positive relationship between eating five or more apples a week and healthy lung function. Researchers admit they cannot explain why eating apples can offset normal age-related deterioration in lung functioning but suggest it may be thanks to the presence of two active agents quercetin and pectin.

Dandelion

This humble backyard weed is a powerhouse of nutrients that work together to promote healthy heart and lung functioning. Although better known as a digestive tonic it can also work to promote good cholesterol and has a diuretic effect in the body, which then works to regulate blood pressure, when you use the leaves.

Dandelion provides more membrane and lung supporting vitamin A than carrots, is an excellent source of heart-protecting potassium and can help maintain good iron levels to prevent anaemia. The young leaves are delicious tossed into a summer salad.

Guggul

This is a mixture of gum resin substances taken from the plant Commiphora Mukul, which is approved for use as a cholesterol lowering agent in India. Guggul which can also play a role in the treatment of Acne has also been shown to exert protective properties against drug-induced myocardial necrosis and is thought to have useful anti-inflammatory properties.

Taurine

A sulphur-containing amino acid present in high levels in meats and fish, taurine, taken as a supplement has been shown to lower blood pressure and plasma epinephrine (adrenaline) levels. People with high blood pressure and heart problems have higher levels of this hormone circulating in the blood - since it helps the heart work harder to increase its output of blood and thus compensate for any pumping problems - but lower levels in the heart muscle itself, which usually has more taurine present than any other amino acid.

Arginine

Sold in supplement form as L-arginine, the body uses this amino acid as a precursor to nitric oxide, which, in turn, dilates blood vessels and lowers blood pressure. It has been successfully used to help support stable angina patients and in clinical trials, high dosages (17g a day) have been shown to lower bad cholesterol without affecting levels of good choloesterol.

Arginine is found naturally in meats, diary products, poultry and fish.

Homocysteine Modulators

Homocysteine is known to be 40 times a more accurate predictor of the risk of heart disease than cholesterol levels. Homocysteine itself is not a natural protector against heart disease, but the agents usd to regulate its levels are.

Magnesium

Many unexpected adult deaths are thought to occur as a result of fatal hearts rhythm disturbances. We know that magnesium defeciency, which is common in men and women, predisposes to higher risk of these kind of disturbances, so taking a therapeutic daily dose of a magnesium supplement would seem sensible along with increasing your dietary intake of this nutrient.

Potassium

We know that potassium works with sodium to regulate the body’s water balance and normalise heart rythms (potassium works inside the cells; sodium works outside them) and documented research proves that a low-potassium, high-sodium (salt) diet is linked with high blood pressure.
