VIII - RESET WHAT WE LEARNED


OK, I think it is time for a reset. I hope to recap what we have covered in the first seven posts. The next few posts are going to veer into lifestyle. Before doing so, let's recap:

THIS BLOG IS ONE OF HOPE. This is the MOST important point! I believe auto-immune diseases – like Meniere's – can be managed through life style changes. It is difficult. Like all life challenges, THE REWARDS OUTWEIGH THE CHALLENGE.

·      There are a few covenants to use in pursuing a healthy life:
o   The body is one organism governed by the immune system
o   Fluidity + Mobility = Longevity
o   The three step process to healing is: clean, heal, nourish
o   We are designed to breathe fresh air, drink water and eat natural foods and animals that eat natural foods
§  Anything else taxes the immune system

·      When looking through the immune system lens, the three most important parts of the body are: 
o   PSOAS
§   Physical and Emotional center of the body
§  Connects legs and hips to spine
§  Fascia runs through psoas
o   FASCIA
§  Sophisticated system of connective tissue from head to foot
§  Varies from bands to sheaths
§  Network on which lymph travels
o   LYMPH
§  The “motor oil” of your body
§  Delivers nutrients and extracts toxins
§  Needs to be cleansed annually

·      CLEANSE LYMPH ANNUALLY
o   Like changing the oil in your car

·      To clean the lymph, you need to avoid the following FOR AT LEAST 40 DAYS:
o   Bad air – smoking, mold, allergens, and work hazards
o   Unnatural drink – unfiltered well water, aspartame, sweets, beer, alcohol – anything in a can (even Gatorade)
o   Unnatural food – yeast, dairy, sweets, preservatives
o   Medications – synthetic medications manage symptoms instead of curing problem

·      To assist the cleanse, add the following
o   Breathe clean air daily – walk outside
o   Natural drink – filtered water and American herbal tea
§  Two favorites are Yogi Tea and Traditional Medicinal
o   Natural Foods
§  Nine helpings of fruits and vegetables
§  Natural herbs and spices
§  Nuts and Legumes
o   No medications – NONE

·      A “sick” lymph shows in a myriad of symptoms.
o   Headaches (migraines too), runny nose, diarrhea, heavy menstruation, cramps, joint pain, rosacea, dry eyes, ringing ears, vomiting, pressure in the ears, dizziness, light headedness, FAT, etc.
o   All can be cured with a thorough cleanse
