Corona Virus Fear

The corona virus is giving us an opportunity to watch, in real time, how we and others respond to fear.  Are you ignoring it or are you having anxiety attacks over the mere thought of it or do you fall somewhere in between?  Pay attention to how your body feels when you think about the corona virus and its effect on the world.

It isn’t here yet, but we already have emotions around it, largely fear.  I do not know how much the virus will affect us, but the thought of it and the fear of it is affecting us a great deal.  It is such a great reminder that taking care of our body means taking care of our mind too.  

There are many emails going around about how to take steps to possibly avoid this virus.  It is mostly about washing your hands and sanitary practices.  

I’ll add, keep yourself healthy.  A balanced diet, enough rest, deep breathing, good thoughts and enough exercise keeps us on top of our game.  On our better days, our body is less likely to succumb to a virus than it is if we ignore all the “health practices” we have in our life.  Let’s stay healthy.  And if you are fighting something now, come see me!!

Autism at its best

Autism: One Man’s Journey is a documentary and memoir about Scott Michael Klumb, a local film maker diagnosed with autism at age 23. Scott takes viewers on a journey, wanting to bring awareness to the issues related to late diagnosis; and not understanding what was “wrong” with him for most of his life. This is a story of hardship, perseverance, and hope. It is a story of inspiration including Scott’s personal interview with Dr. Temple Grandin, one of the world’s most accomplished and well-known adults with autism.

Scott filmed, edited and produced this inspiring autobiographical film with the hope to reassure late diagnosed autistics that they are not alone, there is support for them too, and that it is possible to connect with people who care.

Autism: One Man’s Journey proves that an autistic person can hone their strengths and abilities to create a meaningful life and career. It can be hard, but Scott wants to inspire others and let them know that things do get better. All things are possible.

Trailer available on Scott’s website.

Healing our Childhood

Most of us have at least one issue we have to “work on” during out lifetime.  Often, probably most often, it was something that happened in childhood.  And when we hear what others went through, somehow it helps us process what we went through.

People may think you have to have cruel parents, or be beaten or abused to have issues from childhood.  But it isn’t true.  I was not beaten, and I wasn’t abused, but I had numerous traumas in childhood that caused me to spend the bulk of my adult years working to heal.  Listening to what others went through and what they did to help themselves, often helps us. 

Here is my follow up podcast.  Hope it helps your healing. Feel free to pass it to others.

Corona Virus

Everyone is afraid of the next pandemic. And we should be.

We need to care for ourselves nutritionally to make sure our body is in the best shape to ward off any virus. Just as a doctor has found that the best way to avoid sepsis is using vitamin C in an IV in the ER (a procedure he is advocating to hospitals), the same can be said for many organisms.

Here is an article where this medical doctor encourages the use of vitamin C for avoiding the corona virus. It is inexpensive, it is easy, and it is powerful. Let’s do what we can do, and we can do this. Spread the message.

Come On Over!

Last week I talked about using ozone, at home, to keep you healthy.   I have a unit at my house and am setting aside time that you can come over and see and possibly experience an ozone treatment.  I will give you 3 dates and times.  Please call or text (303-929-4320) to make a reservation for the time that works for you. When you make the reservation, I will give you driving instructions. I am basically at the intersection of Quincy and Sheridan.  And yes, you can bring a friend.

February 6, 1-3 pm.

March 1, 1-3 pm.

March 31, 1-3 pm.

As long as people are interested, I will make future dates available.  Put this on your schedule so you won’t forget. Even if you don’t want to purchase one, it will add to your knowledge base of what is out there if you need it in the future or someone you know needs it.


In case you didn’t see last week’s health tip, read this.

And remember, Good Health is Priceless!

Roll Back the Clock!

From the moment we are born, we all have an expiration date.  We just don’t know when it is.  Most of my patients agree that it isn’t so important how long we live, but our quality of life while we are here.

This year I’m dedicated to teaching others the things they can do at home to help their health.  Why?  Properly prescribed and properly taken prescription drugs are the third leading cause of death in the US.

Do everything you can for yourself before running to medications!  You know that I treat sick people all of the time.  How do I stay well?  This year, I invite you to my house to see one of the ways I stay healthy.  I will have certain days and times that you are invited.  They will be different days and times so you can find one that works for you.  

But I won’t hold you in suspense.  This is what I use.  I first started using it when I was diagnosed with macular degeneration.  I researched and found that Dr. Rowen had used this to stop macular degeneration’s progression.  To my surprise, not only did it help my eyes, but I haven’t been sick (except food poisoning) since I started.  And I noticed many of the aches and pains of older age, simply were not there anymore.  

I don’t mean I never hurt.  I sprained my ankle.  In fact, I broke my ankle.  Yes, it hurt.  My experience was the aches and pains of getting up in the morning, that kind of thing, were gone.  My experience is that people with a lower immune system can really benefit.  

Does that mean I think everyone needs it?  I think everyone needs to decide for themselves.  I’m giving you the opportunity to come to my house, see my set up, and experience a treatment if you choose.  

Next week, I will have days and times that will work for me and how to make a reservation.

My First Podcast

Not long ago I gave a talk at a club meeting. In the audience was Cheryl Ilov. I was impressed as she practices martial arts. She has her black belt! She has written a book about staying fit after 50. By the looks of her, she could definitely educate us on being fit as we grow older.

She also has a website called, The FemiNinja Project which is dedicated to restoring human dignity and helping us unleash our personal power. That sounds good to me!

Cheryl asked me to be on her podcast. In this podcast, I talk about healing from childhood loss. I lost both my mother and father one night when I was 19 months old. My Grandparents stepped in and became parents to my sister and me and gave us a good life on the farm in West Texas. But there was a great big elephant in our living room. We couldn’t talk about the death of my parents! We didn’t have any help. I talk with Cheryl in this podcast about healing from my childhood loss. Please pass this along to those it will help. One in nine children lose a parent when they are a child. Shocking isn’t it?

Cheryl is the lovely woman on the right in this photo and you can see her book, “Forever Fit and Flexible.” Just look at her! We all want to look like that!

Eyelids

Do you have itchy eyelids? Do you or your children often have eyelid irritations like styes? Sometimes our eyelids are puffy or feel crusty. Women, do you feel like your eye make-up irritates your eyelids? (if it does, bring your make-up to me and I will test it.)

Whether they are irritations, allergies or infections, our eyelids need a little love. This product will help with these issues. In fact, if you use these tissues, you might say goodbye to those issues.

The product is an eye wipe that uses tee tree oil and coconut oil. It feels good. And no, it doesn’t burn. Even your children will like it.

If your child comes home with pink eye or a stye or you feel your eyelid is irritated from your makeup, before you go to bed, use this wipe. If you need to, you can use it everyday. Ahhh…relief! Please, let me know how you like this product.

Staying Healthy in 2020!

Stay tuned to my health tips in 2020.  I am going to introduce you to therapies you can do at home or in someone’s office.  At this point in time, as much as possible, it is important for you to do for yourself as much as you can.  Why?  There are problems in health care.  Problems with medications.  If you had an alternative that you could use in your own home, would you be interested in pursuing it?  

You may wonder how I stay healthy when I treat people who are sick all the time.  I do self-care to keep me from getting sick and I am going to share that with you in 2020.  I feel like staying healthy is a big job these days.  And it is one of our most important jobs because unless we are healthy, it is hard to enjoy your life.

So come on this ride with me and I will show you how to stay well in a sick world. Invite your friends. Welcome aboard.

Merry Christmas and I’ll see you in 2020!!  Happy New Year!

Stubborn

If you are a parent, it is only natural to notice the qualities and characteristics of your children.  You want to support positive characteristics and diminish the negative ones.  But do you know which characteristics are negative? 

I read an article about stubborn children.  Being stubborn is a positive sign according to this article.  A stubborn child may be more difficult to teach, but according to this article, it is a positive sign in terms of being successful in life.

I’m not sure their definition of stubborn is the same as mine.  They did say that breaking rules and being defiant with parents was a good predictor of having a higher income as an adult.   See what you think.
