Health Triggers – Become Your Own Health Detective

UPDATED: I first wrote this article in 2017, but it is worth readdressing after the last couple of years since new and unusually health triggers have been introduced.

Did you know that most diseases take an average of 8 to 12 years to develop? Autoimmune Disease, Arthritis, Diabetes, MS. . . . and, yes, even cancer. Even chronic conditions like asthma, allergies, or histamine intolerance are often developed over time. 

Most people will have a hint that something is wrong long before a diagnosis. You may have insomnia for months or even years. You may have heartburn and/or indigestion when you eat certain foods. You may have constant diarrhea or constipation, or even gas and bloating after eating. You may have unexplainable skin issues or constant headaches or brain fog. You may have a nagging pain or feeling of anxiety that won’t go away.

These are just some of the signs that something is wrong. It is when these little things show up, when you find your life is out of balance, that you need to take notice. Your body is magnificently designed and it talks to you on a regular basis. Pay attention to it. And, pay attention to the health triggers in your life.

What Are Health Triggers?

A health trigger is anything that pushes you over the edge of being healthy one day and then not feeling well, either the next day or weeks or months later. Since each of us is unique, this trigger will be different for everyone.

There may be multiple triggers. Certain triggers, like toxins and EMFs (electromagnetic frequencies), can accumulate in the body over time. Then, suddenly, a new trigger is introduced that seems to “push you over the edge” into not feeling well.

Looking for health triggers in your life can be the difference between staying healthy and getting sick. The sooner you recognize a trigger and modify and/or remove it the better.

Health triggers can include any of the following: Continue reading →

C-virus V*ccine – Are You Informed?

I do not typically write about v*ccines since it is such a polarizing topic and it is one of the most censored topics on the internet, but I feel this information on the newest v*ccine is critical for you to make an informed decision. V*ccines are a personal choice that each person should make after analyzing ALL the formation available and considering your personal health situation. Unfortunately, not all information is readily available unless you know where to look. Many links below to websites you should consider following for additional information going forward.

UPDATES: Since originally posting this article, more information has come to light and some experts are stating that this is not a v*ccine after all, but rather gene therapy. Click here to learn more. As of June 2021 all versions of the c-virus v*ccine have been approved only for “emergency use” in the US and have yet to be fully tested. As of late May, here is a summary of typical adverse reactions to the shots and related deaths in 12-17 year olds and in general. Plus a more current article with more details. We are also hearing of many women, both v*ccinated and unv*ccinated, having menstrual problems as well as pregnancy and fertility issues, some of which is explained here and here. If you already had the c-virus, read this article before considering the shot.

July 2021 UPDATES: A recent and comprehensive interview about the c-virus and the related shot from a MD that has treated both can be found here. Listen to this 7 minute talk by Dr. Tess Lawrie to learn more about Iv*rmectin specifically, so you can be better prepared going forward. Plus latest injury and death reports from CDC VAERS data. (Keep in mind that other v*ccines have been pulled off the market after less than 100 deaths.)

The concept of v*ccines is a noble one that can sometimes be very effective. In fact, my dad often spoke highly of a v*ccine used on their cow farm when he was growing up that saved most of the animals from an illness spreading through the country. Some human v*ccines may have saved lives as well.

However, today when there are multi-million-dollar pharmaceutical companies and many political agendas involved, there is sometimes a wide gap between the original v*ccine concept (of using the original infectious agent) and the final product typically used today (a shot with many additives and toxins).

Each v*ccine comes with a potential risk and that risk is different for each person. Continue reading →

Can Your Mask Be Hurting You? What You Need to Know.

UPDATE 2020: A new negative affect of wearing masks for extended periods has come to light, this time from dentists who are beginning to see more cavities and gum disease since the higher use of masks. Dentists share my concern of continually breathing in your own microbes. We all have them in our mouths – they are an extension of your gut’s microbiome. If your microbiome is out of balance and you have more bad bacteria in your mouth than good bacteria, you could be making matters worse by wearing a mask and breathing through your mouth. If you have been wearing your mask for extended periods and you know you have potential dental issues, you may want to schedule a dentist appointment and get your teeth and gums checked out. In the mean time, breath through your nose when wearing a mask. See additional tips below.

Now that more and more cities, town and states are requiring masks in public places, I wanted to put out a few words of caution. The science is still not clear. Is a mask really beneficial? Does it truly prevent the spread of the virus? Can it cause more harm than good?

It is confusing, especially when the experts and government officials give us conflicting information, first telling us that masks were not necessarily protective and now telling us the opposite.* The truth may lay somewhere in between. And, it may depend on various factors.

As masks are required to work, go to school and be in public, it is time to consider some downsides of wearing masks, especially for longer periods of time. They can potentially hurt you. I am even more concerned about our children as they go back to school. I will explain below the possible negative effects and provide suggestions to minimize potential problems. Continue reading →

Leaky Roofs, Alzheimer’s, and Healing Your Body

What does a leaky roof and your health have in common?

I was recently reminded of a concept that I first learned from Dr. Dale Bredesen in his book The End of Alzheimer’s. As he explains in detail in his book, Bredesen is having great success helping those diagnosed with Alzheimer’s Disease, helping them recover and return to leading full lives.

In his book, Bredesen makes an analogy between someone with Alzheimer’s and a roof with holes, or what I like to call a leaky roof.

He determined a total of 36 health markers that can compromise the brain, causing it to degrade. These markers include those that can be measured, such as brain-related peptides, hormones, and neurotransmitters, as well as lifestyle factors like quality of sleep and stress levels. (See details below.) Continue reading →

Plastic Toxins in Our Bodies and Our World

Last week my son and I watched a documentary called A Plastic Ocean  and I can’t stop thinking about it. I knew that plastic is bad for the environment and I knew that plastic is bad for our health, but I did not truly comprehend the full extent of the damage.

Over the years, I have taken a number of steps to reduce the amount of plastic in my family’s life, most often for health reasons. After seeing first hand the damage it has done around the world to people, wildlife and nature in general, it makes me want to take it to a whole other level.

There are still areas where I can improve, like using less plastic (or reusable) bags in the produce section of the grocery store. Plastic bags alone can survive up to 500 years in the ocean!

Plastic is indestructible. It is not biodegradable. Harder plastics may break down over time but it only breaks down into smaller pieces. Pieces that animals mistake for food and even smaller microscopic particles that get into our waterways and drinking water and into our lungs as dust. Plastic nano-particles can also get absorbed by our skin.

Read on to find out how plastic affects our health, as well as the health of our pets and wildlife in general. Use the lists below to see how you can reduce the plastic in your life. It is not too late to make a change. Plus the less plastic you are exposed to on a daily basis, the easier it is for your body to be healthy. Every little bit helps. Continue reading →

Know Your Pesticides – The Clean 15 and Dirty Dozen by EWG
