Body Detox Program - The Lightweight Version

Detoxification is a must for anyone over 30 who wants to avoid imbalance and disease as they age, yet can be beneficial for those as early as in their teens and 20s as well.  We accumulate many toxins, chemicals, and heavy metals in our bodies through the food we eat, what we drink, and our interaction with the environment.  The body needs to be relieved of these toxins to function properly.  It is also important to create a more alkaline environment in the body to balance gut flora and help the body heal. The liver, which filters much of these toxins, naturally enters into detoxification on its own in the spring so this is the perfect time to cleanse.  I also feel a second cleanse in the fall is useful.

 There are many ways to detoxify the body, from the lazy way of taking gobs of cleansing supplements without any diet change (which truly doesn’t do much), to the extreme of fasting for weeks on end, drinking endless green shakes, and doing colonics, which for many is not feasible, possible, nor tolerable, and can be unsafe.  In my 25 years of practice and knowledge of natural health, detoxification doesn’t have to be that hard.  Each time you do it, it is a bit of an experiment as our body changes over time, but gets a little easier with experience.  The process needs to be something you can do once or twice a year while working and living your busy life, or you won’t do it at all.  I suggest 1-2 weeks once or twice a year.  Your results will be based on how often you do it and how much you put into it; you will get better at it over time.  Don’t give up, just give this a try……..

Depending on how addicted you are to refined foods and how toxic you are, you may experience hypoglycemia, withdrawal symptoms, cravings, tiredness, or weakness due to dumping of toxins.  It is a must that you are eliminating easily on a daily basis; if not please include a product or supplement for safe daily elimination.  Also drink lots of pure water!  Email me at evolvingwellness@yahoo.com or Message me with questions.  Good luck and trust the process!

Yay 2016!!! Posts coming......

It's now 2016 and I guess I had to get a bad cold to force me to sit down and take the time to write in my blog again. Not that I haven't wanted to but finding the time is a struggle. Maybe I can get in the habit of writing and giving my natural health knowledge as well as my experiences studying my spiritual path and the insights I gain from it to those who are interested.  I want so badly to share my knowledge, experiences, and understandings in the hope that they will be helpful!  Today I'm attempting to turn this common 7-day cold into 4 days by taking some Chinese herbs, oil of oregano (a great anti-bacterial that I do ok on but can be hard on the stomach) and a tincture formula called ChemBuster that is helpful for a variety of concerns.  We shall see what the outcome is. Anyway, more posts to come!
If you are interested in receiving these posts on a regular basis right in your email, become a "Follower" which you will find the link on the blog's front page.  If you have ended up on my email list and would like to be deleted, just email your request to me at evolvingwellness@yahoo.com (I won't be offended!). All my best to a healthy, happy day!!  ❤️

RoundUp in Drinking Water

I learned recently from my NAET practitioner (Nambudripad's Allergy Elimination Technique) that there are new studies showing that RoundUp has gotten into our drinking water. This chemical is used so prevelently that we are now drinking it in our tap water!  Monsanto (the maker and controller of GMO seeds and products) is the monstrosity of a company who makes this product and it is now entering our organs and body systems, creating havoc especially for children and people with week immune systems. But do they care?  No they just want to make money and make excuses. Please research water filtration systems that remove all chemicals so you can drink pure water. I will post an option for you as well soon.

Principles to Live By

I'm wondering what principles people govern their lives by if they are not spiritual or religious, or are in some way working on themselves and being aware of the level or consciousness they hold and express. I see in my own mind and ego as well as in other's the tendency to be reactive and act on impulse, usually displaying vanity, anger, fear, jealousy, selfishness, judgement, criticizing self and others harshly, excessive sadness and anxiety. This is a very tough place to live from and causes so many problems in our lives yet many people don't think or believe they have the option to move beyond this low level way of living. Through spirituality I have sought to transform this in my own life as it has led to so much fear, anxiety, and depression, which has been unbearable at times. Not that we can expect to rid ourselves of these difficulties, but we can see them as a part of us and something we can observe and be aware of while not letting them rule us.  The truths I have learned and attempted to live by, which come from Soul and are within us all are:
Contentment
Compassion
Forgiveness
Patience
Love
Wisdom
Understanding
Trust
Belief
Kindness
Caring
Rising Above
Giving
Objectivity
Sharing
Tolerance

Understanding Soul and seeking to know your true self are key....Blessings and love!  ❤️
