IDENTIFY YOUR PROBLEM - Emotional, Physical, Mental or Spiritual

PLAIN & SIMPLE

If you have been diagnosed with cancer. Simplify your life, clean out the rubbish which has accumulated over the years on a physical, mental, emotional and spiritual level. In other words, my advice is to audit your life in minute detail.  

Change your diet to nourish the physical body.

Question your current belief system, it is no longer working for you. Change what needs to be changed. Friends? Job? Career? Spiritual Beliefs?

Core Values given to you by your parents when growing up? Values change you only have to look at how industry and technology has changed in the past few years. Your core values are also on the never-ending cycle of evolving and changing. Nothing will remain static in your life. This gives us an opportunity to question, assess and change our lives when we need to.

If you do not find support in your current environment, then change it! Have the courage, step up to the building block of your evolving, changing, and growing nature. 

What was your comfort zone for many years, is now changing? My best advice is don't hide it, be honest that things need to change in your life. Only you can face this truth about your life. Only you can take responsibility and make the decisions which need to be made - no matter how difficult.

Explore Life…. and OWN YOUR OWN TRUTH.

and

most of all.

IMMENSE TRAUMA LEADs ME TO ASTOUNDING GRACE

Malonic & Lectin Foods to Avoid

Sometimes I am inclined to do a comparison with what people recommend with various diets. The related article I wrote back in October 2017 about “Fresh Foods I Avoid and Why.”

Looks can be deceiving!  How many foods have Malonic & Lectin in this meal?

I have mainly followed the Hulda Clarke recommendations over the past 11 years. Her findings reported that Malonic Acid was found in tumours. After surviving this long, I am inclined to give credence that she was on the right track with which foods to eat and what to avoid.

The similarities between Dr H Clark and Dr Gundry recommend with their diets, to assist and improve health, including healing cancer.

If you are already taking care of your health by avoiding starchy, refined and processed foods. Delving deeper into the differences between Malonic Acid foods and Lectin Foods may also help improve your health if you have the willpower.

I was interested to find so many similarities between the foods to avoid.

Take for instance - tomatoes being on both lists, considering they are prevalent in our salads and foods in Australia. Some people remove all the seeds and consume that way. There again do what is right for you and what your body will tolerate.

To this day rarely do I have any dairy. The occasional meeting with friends and a cup of Latte in a coffee shop is all I have these days. I no longer have the addictive behaviour of craving cheeses, milk, cream and yogurts. Foods are like people, you can love them, BUT it doesn’t mean they are beneficial for you or love you back. 

While the foods tantalize your taste buds, when being digested in the gut they can harm your health, and the consequences is like a slow acting poison.

For example I have a low tolerance to quinoa due to it being high in oxalic acids, and prone to mold in the packets you buy off the shelves in the supermarket. Mold producing aflatoxins, which is a cancer causing toxic substance, which I know is not good for my health. This won't apply to everyone with cancer, I have found I have a particular weakness to it's detrimental effects. I live and breathe my research ......IT KEEPS ME ALIVE!

Always do what is right for you!

Stay Strong!

Succeed and Defy Cancer

DO YOU HAVE THE WILLPOWER?

"Willpower" is something you discover within yourself, when you become sick and tired of being labelled according to other people’s perceptions and abilities. Other people is the term meaning  - referring to well people who don't have a medical label placed on them.

I am a born and bred rebel, who detests other people telling me what I can and can’t do. People who haven't been in my shoes - not even close. Dosing me with clichés and chit chat which is surface grit. Annoying at best, like the sand that finds itself into your bikini or swimming togs when you are at the beach. Grating and irritating, rubbing the sensitive spots raw all the time.

Most of all I detested people who tried to smother me with sympathy. I wanted action and I wanted results!

Action and results are the mindset and self-talk I give to myself. No one else in my family or close friends were diagnosed with incurable terminal cancer with the bonus of being labelled disabled. As I have mentioned willpower was an amazing discovery. I never knew I had.

Being medically disabled flowed on to me becoming socially disabled. I didn’t have years to accustom myself to the changes in my body. I was too careless and didn’t heed the warning signs. I loved life and crammed it full every waking minute. Now the problem was identified, and I focused put my thoughts about how to go about fixing it.

When an acquaintance threw a bucket of cold water on me and told me on a self-pity party moment. That everything I experienced in my life at that point, was everything I asked for or let happen. After a few of days going through the denial stages. I finally admitted if I let all this happen to me and my current circumstances. Then it was time I grew a back bone stopped being so easy to get along with. I always admired people who draw this conclusion and change their lives so elegantly and make it look so easy.  I was more like the person with gumboots stomping around in a muddy pig pen. So crass and sooo.. undignified!

I stomped and cried and battled an emotional tsunami wave of emotions not just over days, but it took weeks and months. A real battle of the Titans between the changes I wanted to make emotionally, physically, intellectually and spiritual tagged along as the bonus.

The thing about the intangible willpower everyone has hidden in them, is that it doesn’t surface until you put action to thought. You can lie to yourself and other people of the positive thoughts etc, but the willpower is yours and yours alone. Not a parent from our younger years, wanting us to succeed in a science project or essay assignment. No one can help you, it is time to build whatever mental bridge to get over the doubts and fears from holding you back.

Some days I would agonise over, doing all this hard work mentally and physically only to find myself slipping backwards - it would be a crushing blow to be sure. There again it was up to me to ensure to not slip backwards. The words never give up should have been tattooed on my forehead, because it was certainly tattooed in my soul.

I mourned the friends and acquaintances I thought I had. I learnt who of my friends had grit and who didn’t; it was a long time of mourning and coming to terms with my labels. I became a recluse; you understand, like the hermit or a person who doesn’t leave the house, what was the point. I had become invisible in society. No one wanted to talk to someone who would die in a couple of months. I was not worth their valuable time.

It has been thirteen years since the woeful soul searching person wrote the above words. I have gained a great deal of experience with the quiet times spent in reflection. I have learnt a great deal about myself and the rest of the world.

Without the hard times there is no way I would be enjoying the pain free world I live in today. I am grateful and so very happy. I never gave up on myself when everyone around me had given up, see… they really didn’t identify with me at all. And importantly I didn’t have a good perception of them either. Friendships and the threads that bind us emotionally and spiritually are clarified.

Discipline was something I sucked at and had to work hard at maintaining consistency, especially on the painful days.

It was learning to recognize, when to push through the procrastination lazy days, and when I had in fact pushed too hard, and when to hold back and rest my back. Frustration reigned supreme on many days, the doubts of never getting better. I developed affirmations to short rhythmic beats to drown out the doubting voice within me.

I write these words of my past to encourage and assist others who are currently going through the various stages with their health problems. As an empath I feel for you and all I can do is to send these encouraging words to transmit HOPE!

If you can't make the changes look simple and elegant. Then give yourself permission to stomp around in the mud and be crass. There is no judgement and no right or wrong.

The focus is on results and the outcome, at the end of this process.

Do what is right for YOU!

Either way forge yourself in fire and burn brightly.

Stay Strong!

TERMINAL CANCER - HOW I SURVIVE (cont…)

Living Life with Courage & Conviction ^TM

This is my final posting as I don't feel there is anything else to share, which hasn't already been written and expressed on my blog and in my books?

Scroll through my previous postings... the information can not be outdated, because it comes from nature itself. Not cooked and hatched in a lab and given expiry dates and warning labels. (I may pop in occasionally if there is something to post or add.)

I wrote about the battle I fought (especially since January 2006), and the war I waged. I wrote to express - not only the battle for the right to live. But discovering the whole medical system and treatments given to people diagnosed with a chronic illness is mostly based on hidden political agenda’s.

I ask myself and ponder on the turning point of the country’s material greed, overturning the humanity we once had for each other?  I feel for the parents of children diagnosed with cancer, who according to the courts ruling, can not try other options outside the medical system, and are given - No Hope.

They stand by and watch their loved ones fade away. How are they going to feel in years to come? When they know people are alive and thriving outside the medical system, and they realise they had their human right as a parent taken from them, and their child could have survived?

The stolen generation isn't only recognized by the indigenous people of this country.

The thing about greed is it has a short term memory,

but the people who suffer as a consequence of this greed do not.

 
I followed through on every avenue of our medical system to discover where these rules and regulations are formed. Leading me not to any medical facility, but to the monetary hub of this country in Australia.

 Sharing my joys and sorrows over the past 12 months with my readers and supporters, has been liberating and healing. It is time to prepare for new changes. The cycle of life continues to turn.

Being able to express the trauma, 

to enable healing

emotionally, mentally, physically and spiritually.

I realise by writing my story - I at least, have given people hope on what can be achieved, and accomplished - even when no one else believes in you.

Stay Strong!

TOUCHED BY BREAST CANCER

Reading this book is an eye opener on so many levels. 18 other people contributed to this book and wrote about their experiences.

It is not until you see many stories come together that you see the common thread, which the medical system and medical science doesn’t address, and it is so obvious. 

Although, I have written about at length throughout my postings.

When we are diagnosed  - we focus on our own families, and situations within our little sphere of our life. Rarely do we think outside the box presented to us. Blindly trusting people without any experience of surviving cancer.... and at our own peril.



We all have our own journey, and interpret life through perceptions which hone our belief system.

Assess your life honestly and remember….

I can only live my experience and beliefs, leaving you to live yours.

TREASURE HUNT FOR FOOD

I enjoy learning and studying ancient philosophy, therefore I enjoy learning about the hidden treasures foods can bring into my life, which I like to share with my readers. I am only presenting ideas.. the rest is up to you.

After my turbo boost of fennel and asparagus last week, this week I eased back and took the gentle approach of eating asparagus and fresh salmon for two meals. An alternative to my staple diet mentioned in my book.

Cook before eating!

As usual, I cook with no additives and squeezed fresh lemon juice on the asparagus and salmon after cooking. So easy…. and minimal fuss.

The treasures I found in having and enjoying basil tea. I make from cutting fresh basil from the garden, given by a precious friend.

BASIL

I use 3-4 leaves of the fresh basil and cut up into the teapot, then pour the boiling water and let steep for about 5-10 minutes.

Basil calms the nerves and eases tension. Increases the natural immune system against stress and disease. Also, good for energy and strength. I concur, that I always feel energised and renewed after drinking basil tea. Many other benefits recorded is memory improvement, intelligence, and heart health. Also used to treat fatigue, liver, blood and skin disorders, nourish the central nervous system and balance cortisol levels.

I stay away from basil oil.

I encourage you to study and look into the benefits yourself to see if it suits your metabolism and assists with your health.

Book Reviews

I have collected book reviews left by people, and would like to share them and say “Thank You!”
