Becoming Disease-Proof

Yikes! Another form of staph infection and it’s drug resistant. This one called is Mersa (short for MRSA which stands for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus). This is a fast-acting bacterial infection, one of many we are now commonly seeing. Why? Researchers believe one reason is the overuse of anti-biotics. When you add poor health, environmental toxins, impure water, unmanaged stress, lack of sleep and a few other wild cards to the mix, you have a recipe for disease.

Before you decide it’s time to nail the door shut forever, consider this:

You can disease-proof yourself.

If you are already ill, you can heal yourself.


If you’ve never heard this before, it may sound too good to be true. Rest assured, it is true. I challenge you to prove it to yourself. How? Learn how to take excellent care of yourself. Find out what you can eat and drink and do to build dynamic health. Seek out a highly skilled and experienced natural health teacher/counselor to guide you. When you learn how to care for yourself, the knowledge will be yours for a lifetime.

When you have this kind of energy and vitality, there is nothing that can touch you. I’m not kidding.

Healthy Teeth for a Lifetime

Healthy teeth are a great asset and can help you live a long and healthy life.

Interestingly enough, our teeth can reflect our physical health. Gum disease, tooth decay and other oral infections are related to many conditions as diverse as heart disease and skin rashes.

There is no substitute for good food and water – they’re essential for overall health. Beyond that, here are a few simple things you can do to help your mouth cleanse and heal.

1. Eat lots of fresh, organic greens. Chew thoroughly, allowing the food to become liquid and your mouth to soak in the organic vitamins and minerals.

2. Consider oil pulling with unrefined, virgin coconut oil. Oil pulling is a technique that comes to us from Ayurvedic medicine and many have experienced miraculous results. (For details on oil pulling, you can google it or go to http://www.earthclinic.com/ for more information.) Coconut oil is my first choice for this as it is pleasant tasting, antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, and antiparasitic.

3. Avoid eating between meals – particular sticky and sweet foods that cling to teeth and encourage bacteria to proliferate.

4. Consider rinsing your mouth with water and sea salt when you are not able to brush (like after snacking or eating on the run). Sea salt contains trace minerals and also has antiseptic qualities.

Your teeth are meant to last a lifetime and with a little maintenance, they will serve you well.

Taking Care of Yourself

There has never been a more important time to take care of yourself than right now. What you do for yourself everyday makes a difference. The intention you put forward to care for yourself is always rewarded. And make no mistake: there is no selfishness in caring for yourself. The stronger you are – the more you have to offer others.

Your body always wants to move in the direction of health. Symptoms are your body’s way of communicating to you. Even if you get off track, you can tune back in to your own inner knowing. Get quiet. Relax. Trust your gut. Your body could be asking you to change your diet, get exercise, seek out more knowledge – whatever the call – take the inspired action.

High Quality (Homemade) Foods for Dogs

Are you among the people who no longer want to feed their family pets canned and processed foods? The ingredient lists, the recalls – dog food products are enough to make you sick (and our pets, too!)

Here are some simple suggestions for high quality nutrition.

Lentils provide a lot of nutrition and fiber, don’t take much time to cook and need no overnight soaking. All beans add nutrition and are pretty simple to cook. (Soak overnight and cook slowly on low heat to keep enzymes intact.) They are relatively inexpensive and you might even find a farmer’s market where you can buy them in bulk.

Dogs need oil and extra virgin olive oil is a great choice. You can supercharge it by adding garlic. Here’s how: peel & press at least 4 or 5 cloves into a pint-size glass jar. Add olive oil to the top and shake. Keep this in the refrigerator and add a tablespoon everyday to your dog’s food.

To this mixture, I like to add lots of raw, ground up vegetables - whatever I have on hand.

Other superfoods you can add: wheatgrass, barley grass, chlorella, spirulina and alfalfa.

Many people overlook the humble alfalfa, yet it is a superfood and here’s why: the roots can go down deep into the ground, 60 feet and beyond, soaking up nutrients that are no longer available in topsoil.
