I too need to practice what I preach but what use is knowledge, if you don't share it!?!?!
I have lived in this world for 35 yrs., to some, that is nothing but I have had my fair share of pain, illness, etc... I have been diagnosed with Lupus, RA,and post traumatic stress syndrome.
My brother recently recovered from a deadly, brain tumor. Thank goodness, he is A-OK, now. However, not only did this impact my mother and father, it took it's toll on me-- as well.
I soon found myself feeling horrible, down and in chronic pain. Of course, I went to my physician and they ran every test under the sun. "Anna, your blood panel suggests you have----- this, that and the other thing".
Suddenly, I am on this pill and that pill and soon, I could not keep up with what I was taking and when. I decided that steroids led to weight gain, which lead to an increase in pain. My logic said, this cannot be any good!
In my studies, I had learned that we have 7 Survival Needs:
1> Nutrition
2> Water
3> Oxygen
4> Sunshine
5> Rest/Sleep
6> Nervous System
7> Love!
If you find that any one or several of these necessities, is out of whack--it will cause a shock to the system and everything will result in your system, shutting down.
I learned that I was being over medicated and how awful all of the synthetics were on my body. I decided that I would slowly take myself off of everything, shed the steroid pounds and stick to the 7 Needs.
I also incorporated tons of water and a lot of green veggies and more organics. Also, I increased the exercise in my life--to oxygenate the organs, as they need, to survive.
What is my point in all of this??? So much of our food is processed with added chemicals, we are over-medicated, amongst the dozens of other things that we clog our systems with.
Your body cannot function and do what it needs to do, if we do not incorporate a more healthy lifestyle. This is why we are seeing epidemics of; diabetes, obesity, lupus, RA, fibromyalgia, MS, etc....
So, let's get off of our cans--focus on eating more healthy and get back to the 7 Essentials of LIFE!
Our body strives to be in a homeostatic state (a state of well being)-----IF you can accomplish this with the 7 essentials, there is no reason to have pain and illness.
If you suffer from any of the above---- there is nothing, scientifically, that can deny that if your body is in a healthy state--you can rid of the disease or at least the symptoms of the disease and will certainly slow down any progress of the disease.
Happy Healthing!!!
