Healing Cancer with Cannabis: The Rick Simpson Story

What really SCARES Big Pharma? People who know how to CURE their own DIS...

Okay... I haven't had a piece of bread in a week! That is saying something.  I have snacked on pistashios (the 'skinny nut', so I've recently learned..30 nuts = approx 100 calories). I've made some Boars Head turkey, munster cheese, lettuce wraps, enjoyed scrambled eggs for breakfast, sampled   fruit: strawberries are exceptional right now.. and  found tacos when on the road  ( not really recommended with the Wheat Belly plan, but I'm feeling my way through this..) There have been other meals  as well  of course .. trying to stick with protien and veggies, eggs and cheese.. got some pinto beans soaking right now...and I have ordered my new bread baking machine .. yep, I'm serious.  I must admit however that  I was tempted off my path by some dinner invites this week that sounded good at the time, but such is life.. this is going to take some work and patience.. old habits die hard. But in the mean time  while perusing wheat free and alternative dietary sites I found this really nice website and blog with a beautiful, downloadable mini cookbook filled with delicious looking, recipies of real, whole food  right here... Click here to visit Beyond The Peel Whole Living.
   Right off the bat ..for some reason, I find myself getting up before sunrise between 6 and 7 AM ideas flowing  with energy to boot.
Hmmmm.
  I have  just recently started a new business which which I am very excited about. 'The sky is the limit' with this thing and the timeing is perfect! ( More about that later). And, I am finally  taking advantage of some  great mentoring with regard to marketing my art.(Another thing dear to my heart.)  So, the new year is starting out with a bang and  I guess the excitement and novelty could be spurring the early rising phenomenon!
Well.. that is all for now.  Later.. gotta go check those beans!

New Thought Health, Wealth & Beauty

Today is January 3, 2013!  I made it!   I haven't posted anything in awhile. ( To say the least.)
 I have reservations about 'blogging' .  I don't want to post stupid stuff.  I am a bit self conscious,  and yet, I feel like I have  alot to say and offer.
I am a chiropractor.. but more of a natural healer. By natural, I mean that even though I am a  trained professional, and have been practicing some 25 years.. I rely heavily on my intuition when treating my patients.   I am also an artist. I have been painting for about 35 years. Some of my artwork is considered quite good I'm happy to say.  I know I have a gift and talent but I don't want to sound too egotistical. But you could say that art and my pursuance of it has been a lifelong passion and driving force for me.
I am a woman and am now in my sixties. When I was younger I enjoyed the status of being ' attractive.' What a lovely thing. How disappointing when time  and life take their toll.  How wonderful when we realize that  beauty is something that is inside
of us and  shines though  no matter how long we have been here.
I grew up in the 60's so I've seen a lot and am very much a product of my era.
After being there, doing that and seeing it all ..I was feeling pretty depressed.  No longer any aspirations or dreams.. little motivation and little inspiration... But then something miraculous happened..
After all the self improvement books, the decades of spiritual searching. I feel like I am getting  a second chance.  A chance to be better , at this age.  I am  begining the  journey anew... a  journey of self  're- discovery' based on the knowledge of  what doesn't work and inspired by revolutionary new information  and ancient healing arts, tools and wisdom.. 
And,  I am starting  this blog over as a sort of journal and an interactive tool to highlight and record my progress and pitfalls along the way,  as well as to share the pearls of wisdom and experience I glean with others.
It will be a work in progress and probably require constant editing. I plan on embellishing  with pictures and/or  videos when I figure out how..  but, for now....
To begin with ,and the timeing couldn't be more perfect,   I started the amazing ,best selling book by Dr. Willliam Davis," Wheat Belly."    over the weekend.  Actually, I'm listening to it on Audible.com from Amazon. They have a great introductory offer right now.. Thirty (30) day free trial with 2 free books!  Anyways to say that this book is revolutionary is an understatement.!  I was looking for something.. not a diet.. but  a lifestyle change.. and this book is definitely the game changer for me.  And this is the journey I plan to share.
I hope you will join me.  And I hope I am faithful to it as well.  ( your  job  will be to remind me.) I have an attention problem as well as  some comitment issues.. but I have a feeling things are going to be different this year.  Happy New Year to All.  Let's make it our year to become who we are meant to be. God bless  and Peace out there! . :) 

Health.. do you know what you are eating?

So what is going on today with all the hoopla about health care? Do you know? Well, I'm a doctor and I don't know. There are a few things I do know about health care though. One, as a chiropractor I know that health is not a pill, potion or lotion that you were born without. Health is a result of balance, proper nutrition, exercise, attitude, lifestyle, rest and of course, periodic chiropractic adjustments. The spine, you know encases the nervous system via the spinal cord or as I used to call it, Ma Bell. A break down here means a lack of communication within the body and its myriad of biochemical and hormonal exchanges. But this is not a treatise on the many benefits of Chiropractic. I will have more to say about that at another time.
And with that stated I want to say that if you are physically handicapped or suffer from a dis-ease this may be a bit too simplified in your case though it would still apply to some degree.
But for those of us blessed with general good health, I believe more emphasis needs to be placed on education. Education of the masses. Education is what is most lacking in any plausible health care reform that I've heard of. Why is that? Well for one thing.. if people begin to understand that they are responsible for their own health they have to become aware of the daily pitfalls they encounter when making healthy choices. FOOD is by far one of the most outstanding contributors to health, or the lack there of , which is easily witnessed to by the surging epidemic of obesity in this country. Obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, all go hand in hand and are all deadly. America is not fat because she is lazy. America is fat because most of the food we eat is highly processed, refined and gorged with preservatives and chemicals which do not metabolize normally in the body because the body was not designed to metabolize chemicals.
Unfortunately though, this is not really news to anyone but no one has been hollering about the REAL cause in rampant, obesity related disease because the Food Industry, just like the Drug Industry is not really interested in our health or welfare. That is because they are owned and manipulated by huge, self serving corporations and their only concern is Profit.
Real health care reform would start by really informing people of the dangers of the constant ingestion of fast food, microwavable food, highly refined flours, sugars, and oils and also reign in the companies who produce and push their products. They begin targeting children so that they are completely hooked by the time they become consumers.
So, Education,.. that is where we should begin to focus health care dollars, in my opinion. A healthier population would not need health care reform to the degree it does now with this one small, huge, change of focus. This is about PREVENTION and a far cry from the old-- treat the symptom mentality of allopathic medicine.( Supported by Big Pharma) Ask your Dr. if this drug would work for you... every other commercial. Think of the untold suffering that could be avoided if we began here. Thanks for taking the time to read my rant. :-)

(True) Stories from my life... 1)

I went to a little Christmas party over the holidays at my brother's new office and arrived a bit late. As I was making my way around my brother was introducing me to various people. Another chiropractor was there and introductions followed. He off handedly remarked that he had met my parents earlier. Well, it just so happens that my mother passed away in March of 2006. My parents had been married for 59 years and my father had been devoted to her. It was a crushing event for all of us but dad was definitely lost.
My brother and I proceeded to tell him a little story as to how my father at 83 years of age had met his friend. It seems that sometime after my mother's passing my father had been invited to his 65th high school reunion in Washington, Pennsylvania. He passed on the invitation. Apparently the organizer of the event followed up and sent him a list of the attendees and also a general list of survivors, marital status and current residences. Dad has a time share at the beach and was getting ready to spend his week over there. He casually remarked that he was going to be meeting someone who lived close by but would probably be 'dismissed'. I was surprised to say the least. As he explained later it was a girl/lady (that he apparently had liked in high school) but she probably wouldn't remember him.
I had a little time off and spent one day at the beach with him... the fateful day when he would actually meet with Jeanne face to face. They had only spoken on the phone prior to that.
Well, off he went and was gone an hour or two. He came back with some home made cookies and seemed content.
Long story, shortened.. that was in August of 2008. They have been seeing each other regularly for over a year. She just had her 84th birthday and dad is looking at 85 in April of this year. They are both sharp as tacks and it is easy to see that they have brightened up each other's lives tremendously. Jeanne's husband had Alzheimer's for 10 years before he passed away and she had been alone for some time too. They are such a cute couple! They have been on a cruise to the Bahamas and went to a 'special' reunion held in their honor in Pennsylvania... since they were"the talk of the town" among their peers.
The other chiro was impressed and said that is such a wonderful story that I hope you have written this down. My brother and I said no we haven't but that is a good idea... and so here it is, no frills... but because it is uplifting and it is true. Peace and Love... at any age. :)

Almost there. A self portrait from the good old days..... comming along!
