How to Reverse Chronic Inflammation - Naturally! :By
Maggi Cameron of Bio Beauty.
Chronic
Inflammation has long been linked to a wide variety
of conditions. Time Magazine wrote an article on chronic
inflammation calling it “The Secret Killer” and linked
it to many serious diseases.
Now, scientists are finding even more links between
chronic inflammation and a wide variety of conditions
including:
· Cardio Vascular disease
· Many types of Pain (fibromyalgia-spinal stenosis-arthritis)
· Diabetes
· Cancer
· Alzheimer’s Disease
· Gum disease
· High Blood Pressure
· Eye Problems
What is inflammation? Inflammation is the immune
system’s response to traumas like bacterial, viral or
parasite infection; stress; metabolic disorders; genetics
etc. This is aggravated by free radicals created by
the body in an attempt to overcome the damage. Our modern
lifestyle contributes to inflammation - poor diet; stress;
sedentary life- style; obesity or smoking. Inflammation
causes pain; swelling; (erythema (redness), and loss
of function.
When the body is functioning correctly, it repairs tissues,
and restores balance. However, when the damage can’t
be overcome, inflammation continues to increase. Free
radicals continue attacking the tissues and damage healthy
cells leading to more inflammation, And so the cycle
of chronic inflammation develops. This never ending
inflammation can leads to chronic disease.
…… Inflammation can worsen your health over time!!
Though you may not see or even feel chronic inflammation,
it could be silently causing trouble within your body
right now. Over time, it can result in damage: 1) to
the injured and inflamed area of your body
2) to your overall health.
Common problems arising from chronic inflammation include:
· Heart Problems –inflammation is thought to
contribute to plaque in blood .vessels. This can block
blood flow to the brain or heart, resulting in a heart
.attack or stroke.
· Brain Problems –chronic inflammation is thought
to play a role in Alzheimer’s disease. A common theory
is that inflammation kicks into gear due to plaques
and tangles in the brains of Alzheimer’s patients.
· Joint Problems – chronic inflammation of the
joints contribute to damaged lig.aments; tendons, cartilage
and even bone erosion. This causes pain or de.formity
and affects quality of life.
· Muscular Problems - Inflammation is one of
the most important factors associated with Fibromyalgia.
Symptoms include fatigue, pain, muscle spasms, and bowel
problems.
· Mouth and Gum Problems – The National Institute
of Dental and Craniofacial Research, report that inflammation
can break down bone and connective tissue that keep
teeth in place.
· Emotional Health Problems –Scientists at the
University of Illinois discovered that an enzyme secreted
by the immune system caused inflammatory-related, de.pression-like
symptoms in mice. Researchers believe chronic inflammation
is linked with depression.
· Eye Problems - often occur from inflammatory
disease affecting other parts of the body including
rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes, virus, fungus or bacteria..
· Cancer Problems – although researchers haven’t
discovered the exact mechanism of inflammation’s role
in cancer, according to the American Cancer Society,
inflammation creates perfect conditions for cancer cells
to multiply.
Can Inflammation be reduced Naturally?
Help is at hand in a variety of ways 1) Betalains: The
people of the Sonoran Desert have been using a Cactus
containing Betalains (bay´ta lins), known for centuries
for its ability to reduce inflammation.
They are found only in a few of the world’s plants.
The Nopal Cactus fruit contains one of the highest
amounts of Betalains in all of nature.
Betalains are a rare and potent class of antioxidants/anti-inflammatories
that flourish in the Nopal cactus fruit of the Sonoran
Desert. Recently it has been scientifically proven (in
hundreds of studies) that Betalains have strong anti-inflammatory
properties. Scientific research shows betalains help
to:
Reduce the risk of blood clots – they protect the thin
lining of blood vessels.
Reduce bad cholesterol -- Betalains reduce oxidized
LDL cholesterol.
Betalains protect cells from toxins known to trigger
tumours.
Liver protection -- Betalains protect the liver from
toxins.
2) LifeWave Nanotech Acupoint patches are applied
to the body along acupuncture principals and have been
shown in scientific tests to reverse inflammation. The
Y-Age Aeon patch reduced inflammation within 10 minutes
in clinical tests. Glutathione is the body's master
anti oxidant that declines with age In tests blood glutathione
levels rose by 300%. LifeWave technology may be the
drug free healing of the future.
3) Diet: As well as adding Betalains to your
diet, doctors advise a diet rich in anti-inflammatory
foods. Anti –inflammatory foods include fruit, vegetables,
olive oil, black tea, ginger, grapes, tuna, salmon and
lean white meat. Foods to avoid are fatty food,
junk food, white milk, sugar, bread, potatoes, meat
(sausage) and trans fats.
Nopal Cactus may reduce Inflammation and Toxins:
With its amazing anti inflammatory Betalains, a wellness
drink called ‘Nopalea’ ™ with high betalain content,
has been proven to work in two vital ways:
helps neutralize the body’s inner toxins helps reduce
chronic inflammation.
Small amounts of Nopalea™, taken daily allow betalains
and essential nutrients to enter the cells to reduce
inflammation and toxins surrounding affected cells.
The Betalains in Nopal Cactus wellness drink harness
the power of this ancient desert super fruit to bring
scientifically proven health benefits. It is listed
with the TGA as a medical drink.

Life Lessons Canoeing The Zabezi: by Sue Lester from
Growing Content.
So
there we were, canoeing the Zambezi River with Zambia
on the left, Zimbabwe on the right, a vast blue sky
overhead and monstrous sized crocodiles and pods of
hippos lurking beneath us. Being tall I was allocated
the back seat, my companion the front and our share
of the camping gear and food was piled up between us
in that Canadian canoe. That meant I was in control
of the steering, with a paddle cut out of plywood.
I didn’t really know what I was doing, but I had an
idea of where we were going, and I figured that as long
as I worked hard I could work it out as we went along.
So we struck out, paddling hard, nervously dodging the
occasional hippo that popped up to breathe. I noticed
we were veering left so I paddled harder on the left
to correct it, then we were too far over to the right
so I paddled harder on the right, and soon we were zig-zagging
down the river. Those others who had started at the
same time were well ahead now, gliding straight down
the river.
Our guide called out something, but I didn’t listen
as I was determined to get it right all by myself –
I just had to work harder, didn’t I?
So we zig zagged wider and wider, stirring up hippo
pods we could have easily avoided if on course. My companion
had given up yelling at me and was muttering viciously
under her breath. I was getting exhausted but still
I battled on in increasing frustration and self doubt.
The guide paddled up to us again and this time I listened
– and what a revelation it was. “You are trying too
hard! Relax! Go with the flow!” Of course, I was already
on the river, I just had to go with the flow, and only
make small corrections if we started going off course.
Our guide stayed along side, talking about where we
were headed, sharing tips to make better progress and
encouraging our efforts. We quickly made up for lost
ground, paddling straight for where we wanted to go
with little hesitation, watching, listening and learning
from those who had gone before us.
And when the hippo erupted out of the river under the
canoe in front, our guide quickly settled us and showed
us what to do when, so we cleared that obstacle quickly
and safely, and got back into our rhythm, albeit sweat
soaked with hearts thudding.
Having him beside us made the journey so much easier
and more enjoyable, and my companion started smiling
at me again. I even had time to notice the scenery and
wildlife – and remember I was living my dream!
That guide was my inspiration, and what he did for me,
I now do for my coaching clients. Ongoing goal setting,
accountability and support, plus of course I have the
power of Neuro Linguistic Programming to clear blocks
that appear in your path so you can continue your progress
smoothly.
So you’ll never again find yourself up the proverbial
creek in a barb wire canoe without a paddle!

Brisbane Organ Regeneration Workshop July 2 and 3, 2011:
Brisbane CBD.
Organ
Regeneration is a very effective healing modality that
brings about amazing results which may include re-growing
teeth, organs or hair and regenerating internal bodily
processes. Serious illnesses can be wound back from
the very first cell.
The workshop leaders, Ken and Ann Graydon have complemented
many years of healing work by studying the Russian New
Knowledge and combining it with other processes from
entities such as Seth, Abraham, Kryon and Bashar that
allow for each person to quickly adopt these new methods
and experience amazing results.
The workshop is primarily directed at people on a healing
path and first deals with self-healing, working on others
and then, teaching the process. A Certificate of Completion
is awarded when workshop participants complete the practical
portion of the program.
This healing modality complements the practice of most
of the serious healing processes but is not loaded down
with restrictions or exclusiveness. Our objective is
to share these processes with as many people as possible
so that everyone has the opportunity to at least self-heal.
One of the main benefits is the freedom it allows. When
you no longer have to be a victim of illness you can
experience the world in new ways.
Each participant will receive two work books which cover
a really wide range of processes from Removing Spiritual
Blocks, Regeneration of the Spine, Teeth and Organs,
Clearing the Past, Abundance, the Shield of Life, Treating
the Treatment [to remove negative side-effects] and
a series of Number Codes among many others.
The cost of the workshop is only $250 and more details
and registration may be effected by visiting www.healingintention.org
where there are a number of testimonials from previous
workshops and a secure PayPal button for instant bookings.
The minimum number of registrations needed for the workshop
to proceed is twenty – the venue is limited to thirty
people so that every person has opportunities to practice
and develop confidence in the processes. Ongoing email
support is part of the total package. You will need
to act quickly to secure a place.
We will look forward to meeting with you and sharing
these life-changing processes.
Reduce
Your Waistline: By Victoria Gill of Greenapple Wellness
Centre!
Building muscle is possible at any age, and since the
amount of muscle on our body determines how well we
cope with activities of daily living and how much we
can eat without putting on weight, research done in
this area is critical.
I have discovered that people do not know about the
real “why” they need to exercise and the type of exercise
they need to do. Many people of 50 years and over are
unaware of the slow loss of muscle all over their body
as they age, and that this will affect the amount of
calories their body will use, that their metabolism
will be winding down. This slower metabolism alone will
cause weight to creep on, especially around the waistline.
A recently published article in the American Journal
of Medicine has nullified the belief that it is impossible
to combat this loss of muscle as we age. Researchers
at the University of Michigan’s Physical Activity and
Exercise Intervention Research Laboratory found that
older adults using weights are just as capable of maintaining
and even gaining muscle mass as young people are.
When older people, and sedentary people, know that the
key to controlling their weight and waistline is to
preserve muscle, the reason to exercise becomes clearer.
So, there is a short term and a long term management
strategy for weight loss and waistline reduction. The
short term strategy is finding some form of exercise
that lifts your heartrate and speeds up your metabolism.
It needs to be something you will do most days of the
week so you get a daily burn up of extra calories during
the activity. Walking, cycling, and swimming are examples
of the short term management strategy options.
The long term strategy is to halt muscle loss and to
do progressive strength work to slowly build up the
muscles which will keep the metabolism burning calories
all day. The key to this long term strategy is that
the strength work must be progressive and varied to
stimulate both muscle and bone growth.

How
to Detox with Colonics & Raw Food: by Annie O’Moon-Browning
of My Health Sanctuary!
We
are all born with a certain amount of enzymes in our
digestive system. Enzymes are needed on all stages of
digestion to adequately break down & absorb our food.
http://myhealthsanctuary.com.au/our-services/detoxification-services/23-all-natural-bio-rhythms-detoxification.html
As we age our enzymes are depleted through the natural
ageing process but more usually through our diet.
All
processed, refined, preserved, heavily cooked, fried,
junk foods etc.. take a large amount of enzymes to digest.
This robs our body of the enzymes we do have & our digestive
juices can become weakened, causing a decline in our
health. Raw food, especially organic, (www.ripenraworganics.com.au)
is rich in enzymes & nutrients. It is filled with fibre
& freshness that can't be beaten. It naturally replaces
the enzymes we are born with & aids the digestion of
any other food we are eating. It stimulates the immune
system & helps our bodies to cleanse, repair & heal.
It lifts our spirits & improves our libido. And the
older we get, the more we need to eat raw foods.
Eating
even 1-2 meals per day that are largely raw instantly
improves our digestion, vitality & wellness. You will
feel fuller faster & naturally want to eat less food!
Great for weight management!! http://myhealthsanctuary.com.au/our-services/personal-reinvention/26-weight-loss-a-management.html
My heart always skips a beat when I see our senior citizens
with their super market trolleys filled with packaged
processed denatured foods. And I see their low energy,
sluggishness & sadness. I always want to go up to them
& talk about the benefits of introducing even a little
fresh raw food into their diets.
The
concern over lack of protein in the diet is easily addressed
by the daily consumption of some of the Raw 'Super'
foods. 'Super' protein seems to be more easily assimilated
& therefore more bioavailable! EG: Spirulina contains
61-75% protein (the highest concentration of protein
found in any food! Bee pollen has 25% protein (that's
gram for gram 5-7x the protein found in eggs meat or
cheese!! AFA algae contain 60% protein. (this super
food contains 18 amino acids in a highly assimilable
glycoprotein & amino acid peptide form instead of the
lipoproteinform in animal product)
The
consumption of raw foods actually INCREASES your energy.
The trick is to eat a little often!!! The cleansing
refreshing action of raw food lessens the need for your
body to expend energy in digestion. This energy is naturally
then available to you for all other activities. http://myhealthsanctuary.com.au/our-services/colon-hydrotherapy.html
Committing to a detox program with Colon Hydrotherapy
& eating lots of raw food is vital in increasing your
vitality, improving your performance & if you are unwell
assisting your return to vibrant health. Having regular
Colonics, Green Smoothies & Raw Food gives you that
unbeatable 'WOW' factor & allows for natural vitality
to take the place of ill health!!!

For
a Good Cause: Why Support The Abused Childs Trust?
It
is a sad fact that thousands of Queensland Children
suffer some form of child abuse every year. But the
Abused Child Trust can help. The Trust provides prevention
and treatment programmes for families experiencing,
or at risk of, child abuse or neglect. These programmes
offer the specialised help of a social worker, psychologist,
occupational therapist, speech pathologist and nurse
to assist individuals and families to resolve the issues
that maintain destructive patterns of thought, feeling
and behaviour - helping them break the cycle of abuse.
The Abused Child Trust needs your assistance to continue
this work.
