Cellular Patterning

Do you find that you regularly get sick at the same time every year?

This might be related to a cellular patterning. Look back to when you can remember this first happened and then go one year prior to that time. Ask yourself, "did anything happen to me physically, emotionally, financially or spiritually in that year?" If so, was it about the time that you were getting sick? If yes, you may have an association to that life stressor that has not been resolved.

It is important to become aware of the association and then start reprogramming. If you always get sick and say, "I always get sick or have allergies at this time of the year", start saying, "I have really taken charge of my health and I am able to fight off issues around a weak immune system. I will not get sick, I will not have allergy issues." It may take a few years to break through but each year should get better and better.

The rule of thumb for "unwinding" an imbalance is 1 month for every year you have had the problem. This is not a quick fix solution. You did not get to this compromised state over night, so plan on taking the time to clear it for good. Work back through the imbalances and allow the body to rebuild the correct way. We must look at not only the structural body but the emotional/spiritual associations too.

The other option is to look at that emotional issue in relationship to the Bach Flower Remedies so you can clear it at the cellular level quicker. This can be done through the Body Scan.  There are three main emotions and most diseases are rooted in one of these imbalances. Fear is Kidney/Bladder and can be paired with adrenal stress, Anger is Liver/Gallbladder and paired with thyroid imbalances and Sorrow is pancreas and often associated to "a loss of sweetness in life".

Louise Hay has a great book, "You Can Heal Yourself" with affirmations for various health issues.

Dr Cheryl Townsley has written "Discovering Wholeness" which covers more in depth the health issues/disease and how they are expressed along with the branch and root emotions.

Fabulous Five Remedies to Have on Hand to Stay Well

• Probiotics
• Vitamin C (acreola/rose hips-good form)
• Echinacea Goldenseal/Astragulus (Depending on Your Blood type)
• Zinc, Slippery Elm or non-sugar throat lozengers or spray
• Vitamin C (up to 10,000 IU/day based on bowel tolerance)
• If you can find Colloidal Silver (natural antibiotic-Whole Foods carries it with a disclaimer)

Some Good Old Home Remedies

• Gargle salt water at the first onset of a sore throat
• Swallow honey with lemon juice and then dissolve in hot water what's left on the spoon. Drink at the onset of a sore throat.
• Hot water with lemon first thing in the morning to keep the bowels clearing well. First thing in the morning helps clear the bacteria that released during the night.
• Epsom Salt soaks (1-4 cups, water as hot as you can tolerate, 5-7 minutes, get in, get out and rinse off). Can be helpful when one is having trouble sleeping or bowels aren't moving as well as they should.
• Use a Nette Pot (can get at drugstores) to do a saline rinse of the sinuses to clear bacteria and keep infection down. It is very important to warm the water on the stove but not to a boiling point.
• Ear candling is very helpful for clearing excess wax build-up  but can't be done when there is sinus pressure issues.
• Jumping on a mini-trampoline to help move the lymph. You can also tap the body up the legs and up the arms, down the neck, under the armpit and back into to the middle of the chest. It is important to always move towards the heart when tapping.  In addition, you can also walk or soak (as listed above) to help move your lymphatic fluid.
• Drink water (take your weight and divide by 2 to get your base amount needed) and then add 2-4 ounces for every 15 minutes of exercise.  

If you end up getting sick, you can always contact me to do a BodyScan (visit my website to find out more). This can help you clear the crude quickly. Getting support so that you do not create a cellular memory is important too if you are one of those that says, "I always get sick at this time of year" You may have an emotional correlation with that sickness.  Stay tuned to my next blog for more on this patterning.

How Does Sugar Affect Your Body/Health?

Did you know that each TBSP of sugar you consume, lowers your immune system 50% for 3-5 hours. A standard soda pop has 3 TBSP's (9 teaspoons) of sugar in it. This can compromise your system for 9-15 hours!

This is often why the beginning of a new year people end up getting sick. Starting after Halloween through the holidays people are consuming alot more sugary products, not only are they gaining weight they are weakening their immune system.  Once they stop "hitting" the system with all the sugar it collapses.

An important supplement to consider so you can help your bowel flora stay stronger is a probiotic. 70% of our immune system is rooted in our "gut flora" health.  Keeping the good bacteria up is important. For some, yogurt is not a good choice as they have difficulty digesting dairy. If this is the case and you eat the yogurt you create more inflammation from the indigested food and that compromises your immune system.

When purchasing a probiotic at the store be sure to check the label to make sure you are getting the various good bacteria strains not fillers like wheat and chemicals which would cause a weakening of the system too.

Here are some other things that sugar does:
Causes Congestion
Causes Headaches
Cause Aging
Can lead to Alcoholism
Can cause a significant rise in Triglycerides
Can upset the mineral balance in the body
Can cause Kidney Damage
Can cause Hypoglycemia
Can cause Varicose Veins
Can increase Cholesterol
Can cause Food Allergies
Can contribute to Diabetes
Can contribute to Eczema in children
Can lead to Anxiety,  a difficulty in concentration and crankiness in children

A very important food balance if you choose to eat something sugary is to  have some protein with it to help control the high then low insulin affect. If the sugary item does not have fat in it then adding some nuts with the protein will really help regulate it.
