Do you wake up feeling tired, stiff, or have muscle and joint pain?  You may be suffering from a chronic condition called Fibromyalgia.

Fibromyalgia: “pain in the muscle fiber,” is a term for deep muscle pain that lasts for more than six months and includes sleep disorders, foggy thinking, mood swings, and exhaustion or anxiety.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: is distinguished by muscle and joint pain, mental and physical exhaustion unrelieved by rest, poor immune response, depression, sudden-onset flu-like symptoms, and post-viral fatigue.

The BodyTalk System™ has the ability to approach these complex disorders, addressing the poor immune response, the chronic mental and physical fatigue, and the deep muscle pain.  BodyTalk assists the immune system to respond appropriately to infection. The BodyTalk protocol allows a practitioner to highlight and address viruses and bacteria that the body couldn’t recognize as threatening before your session.

Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue ultimately stem from stress.  They are signs of our times.  We are bombarded by electromagnetic frequencies that interfere with the micro-electrical impulses in our nervous system.  And we are overwhelmed by news streaming to us constantly from all over the world.

Processed foods, food additives, and artificial sweeteners can be contributing factors in these conditions.  These substances cause our systems to become inundated and toxic.

Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue are complicated conditions.  Each person has a unique set of symptoms that need to be addressed in an individual way.  BodyTalk is unique in approaching these multifaceted conditions with individualized sessions, establishing the right timing and a proper sequence of healing for each client.

The BodyTalk System™ is a form of natural healthcare that can be used as a stand-alone system, and also integrated with any other modality in health and preventive care.  It recognizes and addresses all sides of the human being:  physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, hereditary and environmental.

BodyTalk is a simple, effective, and non-invasive method that makes use of the body’s innate healing powers.  Communication is restored among all the parts of the body, then reinforced by light tapping on the head and chest.

Schedule your BodyTalk session today which can be performed locally or long distance.

Recently, I read an article by Jayme Hirashiki on banishing fatigue, enhancing gratitude and taking response-ability.  This is what he said and I agree that we should take responsibility for eliminating the things that drain us and focus on what will help us live a better life.

By Jayme Hirashiki

Today, the world moves at warp speed and the mind-body connection is often tested for its durability, especially when multi-tasking a number of assignments.  How often have you heard someone say they’re running a few minutes behind?  Does it feel like the faster you go, the behind-er you get?

In our technology driven world we daily interface with cell phones, smart phones, text messaging, Twitter, computers, the Internet, fax machines, television, radio-all competing for your attention.  All this before you consider the people in your life.  Picture yourself as a modern day juggler with a number of balls in the air at one time. Drop one, and your tightly scheduled day can go awry.  Drop several, and you invite a downward spiral that affects your sense of well-being and sanity.

Is this the way you want to live?  Of course not. And you don’t have to.  Here are some amazingly simple and effective steps you can take to banish fatigue, enhance your gratitude and take response-ability for a better life.

Avoid Negativity:  If you want to develop loving relationships and explore new possibilities, you should plan to stay optimally healthy and eliminate the negatives.  Negativity is like a slow-release poison that drains your energy and creates a non-specific fatigue that diminishes your ability to enjoy life.  Negativity requires nourishment to develop and grow so don’t feed it.  Remove your focus from negative things, be it in the news, in your work or in your home environment.  Refuse to participate with people who foster it.  Instead, place your attention on doing one kind deed for another person every day, without asking for reward.

Cultivate Gratitude:  The mind is a powerful entity and often modulates whatever goes on in the body.  Cultivating gratitude and the habit of looking on the “bright side” becomes a healthful way to manage stress and enhance mind-body health.  More now than ever, we must protect the brain and nervous system against its own primitive instinct to “fight or flight.”  From the dawn of man, our bodies have been genetically programmed to automatically attack or flee from perceived threats.  In these modern times, mental and emotional stressors can still flip the Paleolithic survivor switch.  However, you can override it by building an internal sense of well being.  You do this by cultivating a real sense of gratitude.

Recognize and Stop Brain Burn-out:  For many people, prolonged tension turns into anxiety and is experienced as “burn-out”.  Outward symptoms of burnout may include fatigue, moodiness, depression, low libido, food cravings, skin rashes, indigestion, memory loss, difficulty in sleeping and other physical disturbances.  On a physiological level, this means your endocrine system is confused by the emotional and mental messages it’s receiving.  The body’s circadian rhythms and hormone levels rise too high and fall too low.  The mind is particularly vulnerable to this kind of unhealthy metabolism.  Left unchecked, hormone and neurotransmitter imbalances can also lead to premature aging of the brain.  If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, be kind to yourself and focus on eliminating the cause.

Adopt New Habits:  Do some research or seek the advice of a qualified health professional to develop new lifestyle approaches.  Learn to adopt new positive habits to replace old negative ones.  The best cure for the ills of modern day stressors is not just medicating.  Discover ways to replenish your mind, body and spirit.  The best plans are multi-fold and include eating a variety of the right foods, getting plenty of restful sleep, making time for regular daily exercise and changing unproductive mental thought patterns.

Consult your health care professional to advise you on how to use vitamin and mineral supplementation effectively, to use specific nutrients like a vitamin B complex.  Effective strategies include eating an anti-inflammatory whole food diet, incorporating fermented foods and/or probiotics, taking vegetarian nut-based omega-3 fats and including vitamin B12 and D particularly during cold weather.

Take Response-ability:  What’s that?  It’s the ability to respond to the world in such a way that you maximize your capacity to learn, to love, to enjoy and express yourself fully.  Response-ability is something you cultivate and is your greatest tool towards renewal and replenishment.  Remember, response-ability is something you do for yourself.  It’s what you practice in an unhurried manner with bold deliberation.

How do you do this?  In next month’s article we will give you steps on how to banish fatigue, enhance your gratitude and take response-ability for a better life.

Recently, I read an article by Dr. John Apsley on hidden hunger.  I shared with you Part I last month.  Now let’s continue with Part II of The Hidden Hunger and learn what you can do to make a difference in your family’s diet.

By Dr. John Apsley

People familiar with the startling taste differences between commercially raised versus organically raised vegetables have speculated that the more bio-available the minerals are for the plants, the sweeter the vegetables will be.  In my opinion, this is where regeneration factors are found.  What happened to the flavor of our vegetables?  We should always be eating these sweet vegetables.  From my personal experience, the second tomato is a great example of what causes the hidden hunger, as described by Albrecht, even though the tomato had been organically grown.  I knew instinctively that eating anything less than the first tomato was inadequate to maintain total health.  The satisfaction in both its mental as well as physical rewards was indescribable.  In a sense, I had always been “craving” such produce, only I didn’t know it until I stumbled across it for the first time in my life.  This was my first experience with a true super food.

The older couple I met had been eating inferior produce for years, leading them to suffer from hidden hunger.  They aged just like most people do, never realizing this need not be the case.  Then, when they joined the Findhorn community, they ate almost exclusively from the specially grown super produce of community gardens.  It has become very clear to me, based on my own experience with this hidden hunger phenomenon, that properly grown organic produce, in soils heavily re-mineralized with rock dust, are the key to health and longevity.  These are the only kinds of real foods that satisfy the hidden hunger plaguing the vast majority of people today.

The more the food industry is motivated by profits, the more our foods will proportionately produce the hidden hunger phenomenon.  No amount of money in the world can replace the health lost through eating foods not grown in accordance with the principles established at the Findhorn community.  These are the quality foods required to regenerate our tissues and prevent the aging process from taking hold.

Organic farming, utilizing precisely applied rock dust re-mineralization techniques, is the key to reversing this scheme, ultimately setting ablaze our regeneration effect within.  This is the only means to avoid the aging process until we attain at least 90 years of age, and all throughout our years experience nothing but exuberant health.  The regeneration effect is all about the ability to heal at an accelerated pace and to heal tissues completely.  When people are deprived of nutrient rich foods, their bodies resist healing. Such deprivation induces the hidden hunger and enslaves us to the inadequacies of modern medicine.  Poor quality food causes us to overeat or become addicted to eating because our bodies are not able to satisfy the real hunger we seek to satisfy.

For example, when flour is bleached, over 40 nutrients and Associated Food Substances (AFS) are heavily compromised, adulterated and/or removed.  In response to this situation, the highly respected nutritionist Roger Williams stated, “…ordinary white bread is so deficient that it is intolerable.”  However, only four synthetic nutrients are added back into white bread, and they are expected to make up for this loss.  In fact, both the synthetic qualities, coupled with their disproportionate quantities, make these four nutrients into nothing less than imposters.  It is well known that such slapping together of the synthetic B vitamins will induce additional vitamin losses and never satiate the hidden hunger.

What we should all bear in mind is that we have the perfect reference standard for what to eat and how to grow our foods.  These guidelines are universal and come from all long-lived cultures that have and do span the globe.  Eating organic, uncontaminated mineral laden foods, 50% raw, is the key.  Consuming sufficient raw foods is easily accomplished.  Joining a local community supported agriculture (CSA) farm is another action you can take.  Most rewarding is to learn how to grow your own foods.  Consider taking classes at certified organic, biodynamic farms.  Please go to my website for other suggestions:  http://doctorapsley.com/Remineralization.aspx HK

Correcting problems in the stomach can help improve your health.  You can improve your immune system, vision and memory by increasing stomach acid.  A common diagnosis of bloating, gas, indigestion and heartburn is too much acid in the stomach and antacids are used to eliminate the pain but it just makes it worse.

Your problem may be low acid.  Stomach acid is required for the digestion of food.  As you get older, your stomach will reduce its levels of acid production.  Here are some facts you need to know about stomach acid:

• Most indigestion is caused by low stomach acid instead of too much acid.
• Stomach acid is needed to absorb the nutrients your body needs.
• A low-salt diet can cause low stomach acid and weaken your immune system.
• Antacids in older people can increase the chance of getting pneumonia due to low stomach acid.
• Stomach acid kills harmful bacteria in the body.
• Low stomach acid is the main cause of acid indigestion, intestinal damage, malabsorption syndrome, leaky gut syndrome, candidiasis, and dysbiosis (abnormal gut flora).

One way to improve and maintain good stomach acid production is to take Zypan produced by Standard Process.  This is a premiere digestive enzyme containing hydrochloric acid and pancreatic enzymes to facilitate healthy digestion.  Take Zypan with meals, eliminate process foods, switch to Celtic Sea Salt, and drink plenty of water to help produce an adequate amount of stomach acid to maintain good health.

Learn more about digestion and ways to improve your health.  To improve your stomach acid order your Zypan today!

Did you know there are literally thousands of chemicals and toxins that are registered in the United States?  Hundreds of these chemicals are present in our bodies according to the Centers for Disease Control.    These toxins and chemicals can have massive disruptions to our body systems causing a number of health issues.

So what toxins are you and your family using daily?  Here’s a short list.  Water pollution, cosmetics, household cleaning products, pesticides and herbicides, pharmaceuticals, food preservatives, caffeine, ammonia and this is just a short list.

Toxins can contribute to a wide range of conditions such as reduced mental clarity, low libido, digestion issues, weight gain, food cravings etc. The Standard Process Purification Program can help remove toxins from the body and reduce or eliminate symptoms such as these.   This program stimulates specific detox organs such as the liver, kidneys and intestines.   Each of these organs plays a major role in cleansing specific toxins from the body while preparing the body for transporting necessary nutrients for the body to utilize.

The Standard Process Purification Program takes just 21 days to complete.  It involves eating whole organic food, eliminating processed foods, drinking plenty of water and incorporating the use of whole food supplementation to assist with the cleansing process and re-building of healthy cells from former habits.  Refraining from certain toxins such as caffeine, alcohol and tobacco products also contribute to a purifying process.  Certain dietary restrictions apply as well such as the elimination of dairy, nuts and most grains and refined foods.

Read on to learn more about how the Standard Process Purification Program has helped people eliminate arthritic symptoms and lower key health markers such as blood pressure, blood glucose, etc.

Contact me for more information and to learn whether this program is right for you.

It seems like everywhere you turn many people suffer from any number of stomach and digestive disorders.  And if you watch television, there will be even more options than you can imagine to help you through the discomfort.  I am not totally against the options you might see on TV, but I will say that your solution may be simpler then you know.

Digestive disorders include Heartburn, Gastritis, Stomach Ulcers, Diverticulitis, Crohn’s Disease, Ulcerative Colitis, Chronic Constipation and Diarrhea.

The digestive system stores neuropeptides – the same molecules that make up your brain – except we have ten times more of them in the body than in the brain!

By using a technique called Active Memory, BodyTalk is especially successful at retrieving and neutralizing the thoughts and emotions from the gut that have become pathologies.  The consciousness of the large intestine relates to the idea of letting go of the past, e.g., old resentments, trauma, or former relationships.

Environmental factors affect the internal chemistry of your digestive system.  Stress relating to your boss, mother, son or husband directly affects the intestinal lining of your digestive tract, minimizing the absorption of vital nutrients.

BodyTalk teaches the body to produce its own digestive enzymes and regulate its stomach acids in order to assimilate foods within the small intestine that previously caused harm or discomfort.

BodyTalk is a holistic form of therapy that recognizes the interrelationships within the body/mind and works to achieve balance and healthy communication among all body systems.

“All disease has emotional, psychological, spiritual, nutritional, and physical dimensions, each of which plays a distinct role.” – Christiane Northrup, M.D.

The BodyTalk System™ is a form of natural healthcare that can be used as a stand-alone system, and also integrated with any other modality in health and preventive care.  It recognizes and addresses all sides of the human being:  physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, hereditary, and environmental.

BodyTalk is a simple, effective, and non-invasive method that makes use of the body’s innate healing powers.  Communication is restored among all the parts of the body, and then reinforced by light tapping on the head and chest.  Schedule your BodyTalk appointment today.

Recently, I read an article by Dr. John Apsley on hidden hunger.  This is what he said and I agree that even when nutritional food is available, we do not choose to eat it.

By Dr. John Apsley

People wonder about the relationship between their diet and their health.  Popular media would have us believe that foods available in the Standard American Diet (the S.A.D. Diet) have plenty of nutrition to sustain a healthy life.  The food we eat is the basic fuel for every experience we have in life.  And yet, the quantity of “bad fuel” people put into their bodies is astounding.  Even in the midst of a plentiful food supply, people are suffering from a hidden hunger due to a serious lack of nutrition in our foods.

Our population is replete with people who crave salt, sugar, alcohol, tobacco, greasy foods, caffeine and drugs of all types.  Dr. William Albrecht defined this as the hidden hunger phenomenon.  In his research, he discovered that animals were fatter and less muscular when grazing on lands where the soil was depleted by heavy farming and pesticides.  This was because the grass and grains that the farmers were feeding the animals were less proteinaceous (protein-containing).  As a result these animals had more diseases, and in many cases, failed to reproduce normally.

“The soil is the ‘creative material’ of most of the basic needs to life.  Creation starts with a handful of dust.”  Dr. William A. Albrecht

In his studies, he also found that men who were raised eating meat from these animals often failed the physical examination for induction into the US Army at higher rates than normal.  These men also showed an increase in dental disease and other bone deformities.  My personal experience as a physician and student of the true nature of health leads me to believe that we have an epidemic arising from eating a diet with little nutritional value.  With the dramatic increase in obesity in this country, I believe this is related to nutritional deficiency.  People are eating more food but are less satisfied.

The lack of minerals in our soils, common to the practice of modern commercial farming, can only produce nutrient-deprived, calorie rich foods, which are low in proteins and high in cheap carbohydrates.  This produces an insatiable hidden hunger and underlies the fundamental causation to chronic degenerative disease and premature aging.

Discovering Super Foods.

In the fall of 1978, I traveled to Forres, Scotland to visit a very special community called Findhorn where some remarkable things were happening.  Findhorn is a teaching community and is famous for the superior crops from their spectacular gardens.  I met people who had lived there for some time.  An older couple caught my attention and I dined with them on several occasions.  They looked like they were in their late sixties; however, they were quite active and full of spirit.  Not a wrinkle on their faces, full heads of white hair, and rosy cheeks wrapping around warm smiles.  I eventually started asking them about their life, and they told me they had lived in the Findhorn community for only five years.  Before that, they had lived in the adjoining trailer park.

They asked me to guess how old they were.  I hesitated, feeling confident they were 70 years of age each, but wanted to flatter them a bit, so I said I thought they were 65.  They both smiled broadly and then showed me a picture of the two of them from the days before they joined the community.  In the photo they looked much older than the robust people I saw sitting before me.  Their wrinkles were clearly evident in the photograph; they were hunched over and appeared quiet frail.  Yet, their skin was now soft and smooth, they were broad and muscular and walked around quite capably.  With the rosy tint in their cheeks they looked like the perfect “postcard couple.”

When they told me exactly how old they were-over-95-I didn’t believe it.  They had their friends swear to it and confirmed it with their British drivers’ licenses.  I was astounded.  What had turned these two around?

A few days later, I was working hard in one of the many organic, biodynamic, remineralized gardens that abound in the community.  I noticed a tomato was ripe, so I picked and ate it.  To my astonishment, my whole mouth lit up with its overwhelming sweetness.  Never in all my life had I tasted such a delicious tomato.  I was picking these tomatoes to load on a truck that would transport them to a nearby village.  I looked in the truck and I noticed some of the produce came from local farmers who also grew their produce naturally.  I reached into the back of the truck and tried one of the tomatoes from a nearby farm.  I had no plan in mind.  I was simply still a little hungry.  When I bit into it, it tasted like pure water!  The taste from the first tomato was still fresh in my mouth; not more than two minutes had passed.  And so, even when I, again, tasted this second tomato, the difference was astounding.

In next month’s newsletter, look for Part II on the Hidden Hunger Phenomena and learn what you can do to make a difference in your family’s diet.  In the meantime, consider the Standard Process 21 Day Purification Program to start moving your body in the right direction to eating right.  Learn more about this cleanse in next month’s newsletter as well.
