1. Holistic Treatment for Disease - Your First Step
=============================================

Whether cancer, diabetes, arthritis, autoimmune disorders,
and other chronic conditions - the most important thing to
do is to ~

>>>> Alkalinize the body <<<<


Naturopathic physician Carson E. Pierce wrote in his book

"What I Would Do If I Had Cancer Again"

"Adjusting a cancer victim's pH is an absolute must at
the start of any treatment, whether orthodox or holistic
(non-toxic). I consider it a gross oversight that this
major modality has been ignored for so long.

Could it have been overlooked because the cost is only
about five cents a day?"

"What I Would Do If I Had Cancer Again"
(http://www.worldcancer.com)



We want to create an alkaline environment in
our body for several reasons. Being alkaline
can prevent or help treat many degenerative
conditions such as cancer, heart disease, arthritis,
kidney stones and gall stones.

Cancer cannot survive in an alkaline environment.
Many pathogenic organisms cannot exist in
an alkaline environment.

Acid conditions lead to degenerative
diseases, especially arthritis and kidney/gallstones.

What creates an acidic environment?

Coffee, tea, sodas, meats, desserts,
sugars, chemicals, medications, thoughts -
and how about stress? Just thinking
stress-filled thoughts can increase acidity
levels in the body.

These acid levels aren't just about the acid in the stomach.

The entire body has varying levels of pH.

The body works hard at maintaining a blood
pH of 7.4. So much so that it will pull from
other areas of the body to keep that blood pH
fairly constant. It will work by depositing and
withdrawing acid and alkaline minerals from other
locations including the bones, soft tissues,
body fluids and saliva.

So the pH of these other tissues
fluctuate. All forms of arthritis are associated
with excess acidity. Acid in the body dissolves both
teeth and bones, so this is also a factor in osteoporosis.

How do we remove excess acidity?

Eating alkalinizing foods (also call acid-binding foods) is the
best way. Here are very high level acid-binding foods:

--Oysters
--Unpasteurized dairy from cows, sheep, goats
--pumpernickel bread
--coconut
--black radish
--spinach
--endive
--tomato
--dandelion
--figs
--citrus fruits
--root vegetables
--sweet potato
--olives
--greens

Eat raw foods - fresh fruit, nuts, sprouts, vegetable juices.
Cooked whole foods work too. Especially vegetables and certain
grains.

A great supplement to instantly alkalinize - from Young Living -
is Alkalime.


Once alkalinized through food, then move the alkaline condition
throughout the body by:

--Exercise

--Massage

--Yoga

Mobilize the lymphatic system in the body (a circulatory system
designed to cleanse the body of toxins) by using a mini-
trampoline also called a rebounder.

Rest the digestive system by once a week doing just organically
grown fruits and vegetable juices. This helps to neutralize the
acidity.


How can we easily alkalinize?

Drink beverages first thing in the morning that are alkalizing.
Some good beverages to alkalinize your body are:

--Orange juice, and to alkalinize further squeeze lemon in it

--Water with lemon. If you want a hot beverage, drink hot water
with lemon.

--Certain teas. Kukicha (Twig) tea, Green teas

--Vegetable broth. Boil cabbage, carrots, onions together and
drink the broth.

--Vegetable juices, preferably fresh and organic - green is great

--Apple Cider Vinegar with water

--Alkalime (Young Living)


How do we know if we are acid or alkaline?

Measuring the pH of the saliva gives us a window into our
susceptibility to degenerative diseases. Here's how to test your
saliva pH:

--Wait two hours after eating or drinking juices.

--Fill your mouth with saliva and swallow it a few times to make
sure it is clean.

--Put clean saliva onto pH paper

--The pH paper should turn blue which would indicate that your
saliva is slightly alkaline with a healthy pH of 7.4.

Only a few spots left


=================================================
1. What Does Twitter Have to do with Health Care?
=================================================

I can read your mind right now.

You're thinking something like ~

"What on earth is she talking about?" ...
...for one of these following reasons:

--You NEVER heard of this silly 'Twitter' word and don't know
what it means

--You HAVE heard about Twitter on TV and in the newspapers but
have no idea what it is

--You've heard your kids or grand kids talk about twittering but
never thought you would see it mentioned in an online ezine
that YOU subscribe to

--You DO know about Twitter but have no clue how it connects
to health care

--No matter what I wrote for the title article you ALWAYS
wonder what I'm saying (ha ha - I just had to throw that in)

Now, I happen to know about Twitter because I'm very involved
in online and internet marketing and social networking, and I
actually Twitter at least four times a day.

I'm following several hundred people on Twitter and I have
several hundred people following me (you can follow me on
Twitter too. . . http://twitter.com/homespalady )

And despite that I'm still pretty amazed at what I learned today
which I am about to share with you regarding Twittering and
healthcare.

When I read this and saw this video it confirmed for me that this
'Twitter thing' is not a passing internet fancy. It's providing
immediate health updates and education.

What you are about to see here in this video clip from CNN are
surgeons in the operating room twittering on the surgery
that is taking place.

http://TwitPWR.com/4Ra/

It is also affirming that I am on the right track with
teaching Internet Marketing to Health Care Professionals and
Practitioners (Twitter is part of this teaching).

This is the third year that I have been offering this course.

It is very popular and is becoming more so, now that:
--there is much more awareness about the internet
--these programs are so easy to do
--the economy is lousy and people want to learn ways to
make money with the internet

People love this course for many reasons:

--No travel necessary (the course is taught in a live teleseminar
format that you can take from your home)

--All classes are recorded for people who can't make the dates

--You can always come back for f'ree to future classes.


The benefits to taking this course are many:

--make money with your area of expertise
--leverage your time and money (work once get paid many
times over)
--most things are no to low cost
--teach / coach / mentor in a whole new way
--get publicity without spending a cent on advertising
--no technical expertise needed

I am not the only teacher in this course. I bring in famous
industry experts to speak in these classes in which I moderate.

In the hours after the gurus teach, I work with the participants
with their questions and how they want to use what they are
learning to get themselves going in their online and offline
business.

I keep the group fairly small because I like to give personalized
attention.

If this is something that may be of interest to you - here is a
link to read more about it:
http://www.introtointernetmarketing.com/spring2009.htm

The class starts next week and is filling up (I just ran two
teleseminars for this and folks are jumping in. Here is the link
to listen to the most recent teleseminar explaining the class:
http://sn.im/iim_preview_spring09).

If you are interested you need to register soon to assure
your seat.

Yes, this will be offered again - probably in the fall, but it
may not have the same Bonus Packages (which in my opinion are
worth the cost of this course!).

Back to Twitter. . .here's some interesting facts:

--The first communications about the recent plane crash
tragedies came from someone who Twittered.

--Lance Armstrong will be Twittering from the Tour De
France.

--I heard even the Dalai Lama is twittering! (but then
I also heard that may not be true)


So follow me on Twitter! Yes, you might read about what I'm
having for breakfast some days - but I also continue giving great
Home Spa Lady tips too!

2. Essential Oil Tip: Abundance Aftershave

3. Success Tip
==========================

It wasn't raining when Noah built the ark.

~Howard Ruff, How to Prosper in the Coming Bad Years, 1979


======================================================
4. Recipe of the Week: Mango Man's Sauteed Greens
======================================================

Thank you Mango Man!

INGREDIENTS

· 2 large bunches of either Collard Greens or Kale
· 1 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
· 4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
· Few pinches red pepper flakes
· 1/2 teaspoon Sea Salt (or Sea Kelp)
· 4 ounces of Raw Unsalted Cashews
RECIPE

Rinse greens well. Remove the leaves from stems and get rid of
the stems. Coarsely chop.

Heat a large skillet over high heat. Cook garlic and pepper
flakes in the Olive Oil for about 2-3 minutes, then add greens, a
few handfuls at a time, stirring in between.

Stir in the Sea Salt or Kelp. Cover. Cook until just tender, 2-10
minutes, depending on the type of greens and your preference.

Now put this in a large bowl and sprinkle ground up Cashews over
the top of it. Not only is it a thing of beauty but it's
incredibly delicious.

========================================
1. Home Spa: Ready for Romance
========================================

Readying for romance can be healthy and fun
and it doesn't have to cost big bucks and long
hours at a day or destination spa.

Here are some quick tips and techniques
you can do at home to get ready for
Valentines Day.

To start with, the two big secrets to being prepared are:
--Feeling good from the inside out
--Charging your energy field

When you come from that awareness and follow
these tips you will create an irresistible 'glow'!

>>First start with your thinking process.

Some key words to hold in your mind:
. . . softness, centered, receptive, grounded,
cleansed, moisture, compassion, gratitude,
love, heart.

These words will vibrate in your energy field and
"set the stage" for you to create those 'states of
being'.

>>Internal cleansing can help your skin and aura glow.
A few ways you can internally cleanse:
--Foods - veggies, fruits, juices
--Fasting - juices only or the Master Cleanse prep
--Essential oils / herbal preps
--Colonics

>>Taking a steam shower will purify, cleanse, and hydrate
--Run a hot shower and sprinkle your favorite essential
oil into the running water and steam (precautions:
don't burn yourself with the hot water - and don't slip
if there is a fatty base oil in your essential oil!)

>>Do a body scrub
Scrubbing with sugar is a great way to get sweetness
without taking sugar internally (which is a big no-no)

Sugar topically is great for the skin because the sugar
cane produces glycolic acid which is a great exfoliant.
(see recipe in essential oil tip below).


>>Adequate hydration makes skin and tissues soft and plump.
Do you notice on some days you have more wrinkles
compared to other days?

This can have alot to do with how much water you
drink.

Drink more water than you normally do.

You may think you drink enough water but chances are
you are not. Even if you think you drink enough try
increasing your water intake by 50% and notice your skin
changes (and your clarity of mind!).

The standard rule is eight eight-ounce glasses a day.
Another popular water intake rule is your weight in
ounces plus 20 ounces more. Of course if you have a
medical condition that warrants water restriction you
wouldn't do this.
(that topic is for another article!).


>>Supplements. . . Essential Fatty Acids / Vitamins A & D, Cod
Liver Oil
Fish oils and flax are great for your skin (along with
their many other benefits). Taking adequate amounts of
these oils can help make your skin more supple, soft, and
shiny.

>>Essential Oils
For skin:
There are wonderful essential oils and essential oil
products for skin. My favorite essential oil product
line, Young Living, has a great wrinkle cream made with
Boswellia (that is Frankincense!) called Boswellia
Wrinkle Cream.

For your energy field:
The frequency or vibration of YL essential oils are
unmatched. This is the special part of the oil that
has the life force. The life force of these oils can
enhance your life force - which charges your energy
field.

For scent:
Therapeutic grade essential oils are not perfume grade
oils. There is a world of difference between the two.
There are no fixatives and fillers and chemicals in
therapeutic grade oils, so consequently the scent won't
linger for hours like a perfume or perfume grade oil.
But I would still recommend using a therapeutic oil
because the transforming qualities will last ongoing -
even way beyond the time where the oil evaporates and the
scent dissipates. (Essential oils are volatile - they
evaporate).

>>Back to the mindset - one more time:
Be open to receiving. Soft receptivity. Realize that this
may require alot of effort if you tend to be a
controlling person ;)

============================================
2. Essential Oil Tip: Body Scrub with Sugar
============================================

This is effective for your whole body.
If your facial skin is sensitive don't
scrub as hard as you would your feet, or
maybe skip your face.

Use a plastic container to mix - glass
may break in the bathroom.
For storage, use glass.

Combine:

--1/2 cup olive oil (or coconut oil)
--1 cup of sugar
--Few drops of your essential oil

Do this in the bathroom.
Use small amounts at a time and massage
gently on the skin.
You can leave it on for a minute or two for
a tightening effect.
Rinse.

Here is a video that shows the same recipe but for
a hand scrub. This is good for skin all over your
body!

3. Success Tip: Love ~ Robert Heinlein
=======================================

Love is the condition in which the happiness of
another person is essential to your own.

~ Robert Heinlein


======================================================
4. Recipe of the Week: Oyster Soup
======================================================

2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup carrot, finely chopped
1/2 cup onion, finely chopped
1/2 cup celery, finely chopped
1/2 cup button mushrooms, chopped
1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 quart chicken broth
1 (14 ounce) can artichoke hearts, drained
1 bay leaf
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon dried sage


--In a large pot, saute chopped carrot, onion, celery and fresh
mushrooms in 2 tablespoons of butter for 5 minutes or until the
onions are transparent.

--In another large pot, melt 1/2 cup butter and stir in the
flour.

--Cook for 5 minutes.

--Whisk in the chicken broth to the flour mixture.

--Add the sauteed vegetables, artichokes hearts, bay leaf, salt,
cayenne pepper,thyme, oregano and sage.

--Simmer for 30 minutes over medium heat.

--Whisk in cream and add oysters.

--Bring to a simmer, but do not boil.

Enjoy :)

1. Can Scent Attract Love?
============================

"Love is in the Air" is not just an expression of speech.

People who study the science of smell, 'osmologists', tell us
that there are natural chemical messengers from
a person's scent delivered through the air and captured by
anothers olfactory sensors (smell receptors) to attract a mate.

These invisible messengers are called "pheromones", a word
created by two hormone researchers, Karlson and Luscher, who
combined two Greek words: pherein, meaning to bring or transfer;
and hormon, meaning to excite.

Pheromones are released by the body through skin and sweat
and are said to stimulate receptors in another person that
will signal s!x.ual desire.

Pheromones are not unique to humans. These and other natural
smells and odors are important ways the plant and animal
kingdoms communicate.

Pheromones have been simulated and manufactured by fragrance
companies and are heavily marketed. Many of these pheromones are
supposedly put into perfumes which are not required to be listed
on the label.

Therapeutic applications of chemically manufactured pheromones
have been used in research to treat s!x.ual dysfunction
and according to Masters and Johnson are used successfully.

If you research the topic of pheromones you will find
that there are many companies marketing them
and you can well imagine why - there is huge
business for this sort of thing.

According to research done by these companies, here is a list of
the effects of these chemically manufactured pheromones:
(many of these sound like the benefits of essential oils!):

--A heightened state of relaxation
--Ease in social situations
--Less anxiety
--Increased confidence
--Decrease of social butterflies
--Feeling more attractive
--Happier; more optimistic outlook
--Enhanced working relationships
--More romantic relationships
--Empowered
--Increased sense of well-being


For those of us who use essential oils therapeutically we
naturally would ask - might therapeutic essential oils and
medicinal aromatherapy have the same effect of pheromones? (we
know they can do these things listed above - but what would
experts like Gary Young say?)


I can recall sitting in one of Gary Young's lectures years ago
when he spoke to this issue of pheromones.

What I remember him saying was that essential oils are not
pheromones themselves but they enhance production of our
own pheromones.

This made sense to me in understanding the general action
of therapeutic essential oils which is to encourage the body's
own innate ability to achieve natural balance.

So how can we use this information about essential oils to
attract love?
(remember, this doesn't have to be "new love",
this can apply if you are already in relationship)

Here are some suggestions:

--Start with having the awareness of this natural
mechanism in the body to respond to scent.
When we have an awareness of things like this we can
bring consciousness to it, and work with it.

--Remember that the essential oils work by
balancing and enhancing the body's own abilities.

--Know this:
High quality essential oils have tremendous 'life-
force' and there is intelligence in them. . . so much
so that they can follow intentionality. As you use
your essential oils have an intention that you want for
your life, health, well-being etc. If you want to
attract love or improve a love relationship for example
- hold that as an intention as you use your oils.

--This concept is not new to folks who use "Abundance"
essential oil blend from YLEO. It was created with the
intention of helping people attract abundance in their
life.

And diffuse, diffuse, diffuse - for many reasons but especially
to infuse your environment with LOVE - to attract it- any kind of
love!

Manifest in Molecules)

1. Hair Loss Solutions with Essential Oils
=============================================

When people lose their hair it can be devastating,
whatever the reason.

I've known more than one woman diagnosed with cancer
who was more concerned about losing her hair
from treatments than with the cancer.

It is amazing the value people put on hair.

And it is also amazing how many products are out
there that attempt hair regrowth.

I am often asked if there is anything natural
and available in the essential oil arena for hair loss.

There are many causes for hair loss.

Alopecia (the medical term for hair loss),
can be related to different things such as genetics,
hormones, drugs, or illness.

And there are many types of alopecia.

Alopecia areata is a type of hair loss that causes
patchy baldness (this not the "male pattern baldness"
hair loss).

It affects men and women and is most
likely caused by an inflammatory immune response
often followed by stress.

This is the type of hair loss that can respond to
the use of essential oils. A 1998 study was done
with 84 people who had been diagnosed with alopecia
areata who used essential oil applications to their
scalp:
--Cedarwood (2 drops)
--Lavender (3 drops)
--Rosemary (3 drops)
--Thyme (2 drops)
--Placed in carrier oil mix of jojoba (3 mL) and
grapeseed (20 ml)

(FYI-all of these oils have been used to treat alopecia for more
than a century).

Researcher Isabelle C. Hay and colleagues from the Aberdeen
Royal Infirmary in Scotland ran this study and had
half the group use this essential oil mixture and the other half
use a plain carrier oil.

Testing was done several times in during the seven month trial
by photography and scalp measurements.

Of those receiving active treatment, 44 percent significantly
improved, while 15 percent using placebo improved.

One male patient with alopecia areata as well as severe male
pattern hair loss saw improvement in both areas after using the
essential oil blend.

These results suggest that one or more of the essential oils are
biologically able to promote hair growth.

4. Recipe of the Week: Curried Celery Soup
===========================================

2 Tbsp. Ghee
1 onion, chopped
1 leek, washed and sliced
1 1/2 pounds celery, chopped
1 TBSP medium or hot curry powder (or more to taste!)
3 large red-skinned potatoes
3 3/4 cups water or vegetable stock
1 bouquet garni (Place a bay leaf, a sprig
of thyme, and a sprig of parsley on one piece
of green leek. Cover with the remaining piece of
green leek. Tie securely with fine string, leaving
a length of string attached so that the bouquet
garni can be easily retrieved. )
2 TBSP finely chopped mixed fresh herbs
Celtic Sea Salt and Herbamare
Celery seed and celery leaves to garnish


--Heat the ghee in a large saucepan.
--Add the onion, leek and celery,

--Simmer for 20 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.
Remove and discard the bouquet garni and set the soup aside
to cool slightly. Puree in a blender or food processor until
smooth.
--Add the mixed herbs, season to taste and process VERY briefly.
--Return to the saucepan and reheat gently until piping hot.
--Garnish with celery sprigs
