Changes

Life is about change. It happens whether we want it to or not. So how much better is it to be in control of the change and manage it. Instead of it being something that happens to you.

In light of that, I changed the name of my blog. Be Healthy just didn't grab me. I wasn't inspired. Now I am. For now.

Do that with your life. If it's not working, if you aren't inspired, tweak it. Make a change. Drink tea instead of coffee for a week. Drive to work a different way. Or better yet, park a block or two away and walk in. Notice the neighborhood (don't do this if you live in a bad area).

Find inspiration through change.

Be Healthy

I'm changing the name of this blog. I think I can do that. I need to get Blogwild again, purchase it this time instead of checking it out at the library. Then I need to learn how to make my blog what I want it to be.

I have to change the name because I realized that altho there are many health issues I want to talk about, this is also about business, network marketing and other things related. And unrelated, really.

I guess it's a good thing I don't have a huge following yet. Just my daughter, so far, I think. (Hi Katrina).

Speaking of things health-related. There is an article in today's paper about the super-bug killing more people than aids. So far I've just read the headline. I'll read it and blog about that next blog.

Not All Minerals Are Created Equal

Not all minerals are created equal. There are the grocery store type that your body just passes thru and poops back out so undigested that you can still see the brand logo stamped on the pill. Then there are chelated minerals that your body will absorb about 50% of the minerals and pass the rest thru. Then there are liquid minerals that your body absorbs more than 90% of the minerals.

There are also different brands of liquid minerals. The brand I sell has contains almost 70 major and trace minerals, making it the most complete mineral supplement on the market. They are suspended in a liquid colloidal form and broken down to an ion state, giving them the ability to be absorbed through the walls of the intestines and colon at a much greater rate than minerals in a tablet form. An ion is the smallest component a mineral can exist within, and is the size the body requires to allow the individual cells to absorb it.

There's more, technical type stuff, that make my minerals the best in the world. Like the source of the minerals and the method of extraction but it gets boring.

I will say that my minerals also taste better than any other liquid mineral on the market. The marketing material says "a delicious lemon-lime flavor!" It also comes in strawberry-kiwi.

I would recommend trying it for 90 days, we have a one year 100% money back guarantee, if you don't notice a significant difference in your health, return the empty bottles and get your money back. You can't lose.

Did You Take Your Minerals Today?

My mom said, a lot, "You must need more vitamins." or "Did you take your vitamins?" Stuff like that, always about vitamins. She also said "You must be eating too much sugar", but that's another post. She never said, "Did you take your minerals?" The only thing I remember discussing about minerals is to take calcium. That's it.

Here's the thing. We need minerals more than vitamins. Because the vitamins don't work without the minerals. Quote from United States Senate Document number 264: "In the absence of minerals vitamins have no function to perform. 99% of the American people are deficient in minerals, and a marked deficiency in any one of the more important minerals actually results in disease."

It also says this, "Most of us today are suffering from certain dangerous diet deficiencies which cannot be remedied until the depleted soils from which our foods come are brought into proper mineral balance. The alarming fact is that the foods - fruits, vegetables and grain, now being raised on millions of acres of land that no longer contains enough of certain needed minerals are starving us - no matter how much of them we eat!"

Dr Linus Pauling claimed, "You can trace every sickness, every disease, and every ailment to a mineral deficiency."

So I ask again, "Did you take your minerals today?"

Stevia, Good or Bad?

My local paper had an article about Stevia on Fri. Evidently, in the USA and other countries stevia is banned as an additive. So you can buy it and add it to your coffee yourself but you cannot buy foods already sweetened with stevia.

Stevia is an herb that is used as a sweetener. The FDA banned it's in 1991 and then in 1994 modified the ruling to banning it's use as an additive.

The article says it's concerns are some animal studies that indicate stevia can negatively affect fertility and may have some carcinogenic properties. The article doesn't say how much stevia was given the animal to produce these results.

Here's the kicker. It also may lower blood pressure and blood sugar which may cause a problem for those taking medication for these issues. I would guess the problem would be they wouldn't need as much medication. Which sounds like more of a problem for the drug companies than for the patient.

Actually, what I understand is that stevia nourishes the pancreas which causes it to do what it's supposed to do so you don't need as much or any insulin. So which would you rather? Add a natural herbal sweetener to your beverage or foods that nourishes the body, strengthens it so it functions better, or take a drug with all the side effects that weakens your system?

This is a question you have to ask and answer yourself. Personally, I do anything I can to stay off drugs. Just say no. If you can. Even to legal drugs.

I wonder what would happen to those animals they tested if they gave them the drugs they give people for high blood pressure and high blood sugar.

Just a thought.

And I never even got into the stevia as a "dangerous" additive versus the artifical sweeteners used as a "safe" alterntive. Which are approved by the FDA.

Serious and Committed

This post, like my essential oil post of today, is about my committment and intention to this blog and my two other blogs. I am committed to learning what I can about natural healing and sharing that info with others, through this blog, speaking engagements and one on one meetings. And any other way that shows itself.

I am committed and intend to post regularly, at least 4X per week to this blog and my two other blogs. This is what I love, this is what I do.

What do you love that you need to commit to?
