Migraine Headaches, Weight, Anxiety

Migraine Headaches, Weight, Anxiety

 One lady, I will call her Allie, was coerced by her friend to succumb to the CoVid shot otherwise she would not be allowed to visit her friend and play with the baby. This lady did not want to get the CoVid shots but she was afraid of losing a friend and she loved her little baby. The thought of losing a friend and not seeing her baby, the thought of rejection was unbearable and she succumbed to 3 shots. The third shot sent her straight to the hospital with dizzy spells and vertigo where she could not function. Then she had the 4th shot which completely wiped her out.

To add injury to the CoVid shot reactions Allly was also on antianxiety medications and suffered migraine headaches. She would get brain fog, sore joints and muscles and anxiety attacks even though she was on a medication for 10 years. She was also overweight. Then one day she saw a young woman working on the fire team. This woman was tall, very fit and in great shape. Allie was awe struck and decided she wanted to be like this woman she just saw. Ally changed her diet. She stopped all pop and she was drinking lots of it. Each pop had 75 grams of sugar in it and she drank at least 2 of those a day. She stopped eating all junk food, the cookies, the cakes and all wheat products. She stopped drinking milk and started drinking only water. Then a friend of hers introduced her to Natures Sunshine products. She drank water with Sixated in it. Sixated has Chromium Picolinate in it that helped to regulate metabolism and maintain blood sugar levels. She took Cat’s Claw combination and Liver Support to detoxify the heavy metals from the CoVid shots. Ally did admit that after she started the simple herbal program, she had a bad case of diarrhea for one day.

Then Ally was hit with a migraine headache which was usually the case when her menstrual cycle came along. In the past the migraine headaches were so severe that Ally would go to the doctor for an injection. This time Ally asked her friend about using herbs for the migraine headache. He suggested 8 Cat’s Claw combination and 4 capsules of Liver Support, drink lots of water. Ally did just that. At the point of getting that blurry vision that indicated a migraine she took the herbs as suggested; 8 Cat’s Claw combination and 4 Liver Support with lots of water. The migraine headache stopped dead  in its tracks and never manifested into a full blown migraine headache. No trip to emergency. No injection was needed. Ally was excited. Never in her 10 years of migraine headaches had she ever experienced such amazing results.

Ally has now been on a herbal program for about 6 weeks. The migraine headaches are no longer a big problem, the anxiety is history, she is off all anti-anxiety medications and Ally has lost 81 pounds.

It is so sad for me to witness these young people suffering from such symptoms; anxiety, depression, weight problems, migraine headaches, infections, liver disorders, menstrual problems, joint problems and they have no idea that this other world of wonderful herbal remedies exists. How deceitful to hide this herbal information from them! I know that herbal information is not taught in any school system, or any university. As a matter of fact herbs as a remedy to health does not even cross the average person’s mind or any doctor’s mind. It is a hidden knowledge that our society needs to wake up to. That is why I was inspired to develop my TAFYH course. It is a course that teaches you to become self-reliant in health. You come to know how to be your own doctor.

From Brian and Maria

All great change begins with imagination, all transformation begins with a vision.

 Take time each day to visualize the person you are capable of becoming. If you cannot visualize the better person you wish to become, you cannot become that better person. The more specific your visualization, the faster and more effectively you will be transformed into that better version of yourself. Visualize particular ways of acting in certain situations. Imagine a situation with a particular person where you are normally impatient. Visualize the perfect way to respond to that person, over and over again in the empty moments of the day, and before too long you will begin to respond in the way you have imagined.

All great change is first an idea in our minds. The first expression of every great achievement in history has been in the wonder of the imagination. Visualize the changes you wish to achieve.

If you do not, you will not.

From America’s Frontline Doctors

The World Health Organization (WHO) this month held a summit on traditional medicine which is being seen as a move by the organization to co-opt or altogether confiscate effective, non-pharmaceutical medical practices from the public.

One Health, which has been highly endorsed by the World Economic Forum (WEF) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), would prioritize “climate change” over human health in some regard. No sacrifice would be too great to save the climate if it is the chief determinant of the health of all living things. A zoonotic outbreak, therefore, could open the door for climate mandates like lockdowns and forced vaccinations to stop the spread.

Indeed, the WHO recently paired with the Rockefeller Foundation to search for “climate pandemics.” It also partnered in June with the European Commission to develop international vaccine passports as drugmakers call for “climate vaccinations.” 

From Donna Roth

Reading this dismal information I could not help but tell you about my conversations with people this week  and what I learned from them regarding CoVid shots.

I can’t help telling you about a lady I recently had a conversation with you succumbed to the CoVid shots. She has a severe reaction to the CoVid shot where she lost sight in one eye, broke out in terrible mouth sores, lost her hearing on one ear, her tongue became swollen, and the allergy specialist assigned to her case spent 2 hours with her after her shot. The allergies were unbearable. Did her doctor acknowledge it to be a reaction to the CoVid shot? NO ! The doctor found a diagnosis that fit the reactions and he called it Mass Cell Disease.  So I ask ; Is this not a blatant  deception;  masking the reactions to these CoVid shots by giving it some insignificant disease name?

Here is the second case of a severe reaction to the CoVid shots. One man was terrified that he would lose his job if he did not get the CoVid shots even though his employer never once requested the shots. Fear overcame his common sense thinking and as a result he lined up for 4 CoVid shots. He suffered some severe reactions of vertigo off and on and he now knows that those CoVid shots caused the reactions.

One lady, I will call her Allie, was coerced by her friend to succumb to the CoVid shot otherwise she would not be allowed to visit her friend and play with the baby. This lady did not want to get the CoVid shots but she was afraid of losing a friend and she loved her little baby. The thought of losing a friend and not seeing her baby, the thought of rejection was unbearable and she succumbed to 3 shots. The third shot sent her straight to the hospital with dizzy spells and vertigo where she could not function. Then she had the 4th shot which completely wiped her out.

It is so sad for me to witness these young people suffering from such symptoms; anxiety, depression, weight problems, migraine headaches, infections, liver disorders, menstrual problems, joint problems and they have no idea that this other world of wonderful herbal remedies exists. How deceitful to hide this herbal information from them! I know that herbal information is not taught in any school system, or any university. As a matter of fact herbs as a remedy to health does not even cross the average person’s mind or any doctor’s mind. It is a hidden knowledge that our society needs to wake up to. That is why I was inspired to develop my TAFYH course. It is a course that teaches you to become self-reliant in health. You come to know how to be your own doctor.

I know that TAFYH costs money. I know that this is a draw back to many people. I know I had to put a price on TAFYH. Let me explain why. TAFYH took 30 years to develop. I say that because it took that many years to put together the thousands of anecdotal testimonials to prove that the formula you are taught in TAFYH works. The formula I am referring to is I + I + I + I + C = results.  To decipher this formula: To achieve health you need to address Injury, Inflammation, Elimination, Infection, Circulation equals results. It works every time. Now if you calculate the number of hours it took for me to work with these amazing people to get to the point of success then you can start to appreciate that $ 377 is a small price to pay. I have worked with 100’s of cancer clients and each cancer client took a year before success was imminent. Then I write their story as they have shared it with me. I then email the story to them for editing. I edit the story and send it back until the story is pure and true according to their words. I then get their permission to share it. Just this part takes hours of work.

Each lesson in TAFYH has been carefully structured to give you the bottom-line information, NO frills attached. In other words, each 5-minute lesson could easily be extended to a 2 hour presentation.  Is this not what universities do to justify their university fees?

My daughter, Susan, who has done TAFYH at least 4 times was instrumental in assisting me in structuring TAFYH. The structure took a long time to build. We started with a team of people who volunteered to be part of the course so that we could structure it into easy comfortable 20 minute segments. Then there was the method of measurements that had be in place ; the Body Systems Questionnaire,, the Candida tests and the body temperature.  

Many of my TAFYH grads have reported that the fee of $377 is beyond reasonable. Imagine overcoming cancer or diabetes, or arthritis or kidney disease or  MS or saving someone from having their breast cut off or their bladder removed or their prostate cut out with this knowledge! I am grateful to the TAFYH grads for their never-ending sustainable support and their continuous words of appreciation. Now my vision is to set up funds for those who cannot afford TAFYH and the products required for TAFYH. I do hold this vision for the future and perhaps there are people on the call today who may assist in setting up such a foundation.

I am reminded of the power these humble herbs have. They are not created in any lab as are all medications, they are not created by the hand of man, they are created by the hand of God. No man can create the herbs that  God has created for us for our health and for our wellbeing. These herbs have an energy frequency that were meant for our use in times of stress, or conditions of disease and this is all very well documented in scripture. It is interesting to note that science the way I see it does not consider the Bible as a documented source of reference. The criticism I hear is that much has been removed from the Bible. But does not the same criticism apply to science. How many times have a heard of data being removed from science or data manipulated in science for the purposes of marketing a chemical drug product? How many times have I heard of Big Pharma companies providing funds for the science? Is this independent science and is it not conflict of interest?

The herbs and these programs are there for anyone that wants health, joy and wellbeing. Even if you are not a TAFYH grad you can take on your health by taking a super food smoothie every day and cleansing your big inner tube, the intestinal tract. Your super food smoothie should look like this: Water, Collagen powder, Power Greens, Power Beets, Solstic Energy, These are all meticulous super foods from Natures Sunshine. Tomorrow is the last day of their long weekend special. Check out the special and place your order by calling Nature Sunshine 1 800 265 9163.

From Pauline

This past week I talked to Pauline. She is registered to take the TAFYH course. She has been following the herbal program for a few weeks. She is having a smoothie every day. She takes Ultra Biome DTX and Liver Support and Methyl combination and  Cat’s Claw combination every day. She reported that her blood sugar levels have dropped from 14 to 7.

 

From Dr. Mercola

It is interesting that as a long-distance runner, Noakes developed diabetes. I used to believe that cardio was the cure for diabetes. It is well-known now that this is simply not the case. Food choices are responsible for causing diabetes.

However, excess carbs and not enough fat are not the reason someone develops diabetes. It is interesting to note that in 1890, about 2.8 people per 100,000 had diabetes. Today that number is likely 30,000 per 100, 000 if you include those with prediabetes. That is a more than 100,000 times increase in a little over 130 years.

Increases in sugar intake or carbs did not just cause this. It was the introduction of seed oils that caused severe mitochondrial dysfunction, causing the body to burn fatty acids rather than glucose. While limiting carbs can help when one develops diabetes, the solution is to radically reduce seed oils and every milligram of processed foods.

My comment: avoid canola oil that is found in many grocery bought products. Use coconut oil, avocado oil, olive oil instead. And I suggest to  take fish oil capsules like Super Oil, and Super Omega 3 to bind the bad seed oils.

 

Skeletal Strength US and Canada

Supports the health of the skeletal system such as the health of bones, cartilage, teeth and gums.

Magnesium and Phosphorus help the body to metabolize carbohydrates, fats and proteins.

Calcium intake, when combined with sufficient vitamin D, a healthy diet, and regular exercise, may reduce the risk of developing osteoporosis

Properties: Alkalinizer and Mineralizer

Systems Affected:  Parathyroid Glands, Skeletal System, Skin and Structural system.

Conditions:   Arthritis, Backache, Broken Bones, Calcium deficiency, Cramps and Spasms, Chrohn’s disease, cystitis, Leg Cramps, menopause, Menstrual Cramps, Osteoporosis, Over acidy and Spinal Disks. 

How It Works:

Skeletal Strength is a vitamin, mineral and herbal supplement formulated to nourish the structural system of the body that have been shown to promote bone mineralization and inhibit bone loss.  The formula contains a wide range of nutrients known to benefit the structural system, as well as the nutritive herbs horsetail, parsley and valerian.  Skeletal Strength is designed to nutritionally support the skeletal system and help maintain healthy bones and structural integrity and it also provides digestive aids to ensure absorption of nutrients that are vital for bone health.

 

Recent research shows that calcium operates according to a diurnal time cycle. During the day when the body is active, calcium in nerve cells is utilized for muscle contraction and nerve transmissions. When this calcium is depleted, muscle fatigue is experienced. During sleep when the body is inactive, calcium is extracted from bone tissues to replenish cellular stores, that is, unless calcium is being adequately supplied in the diet.

Researchers have shown that taking calcium supplements at night helps to balance calcium levels in the blood, reducing the risk of calcium deficiency and osteoporosis.

There is more calcium in the body than any other mineral. Almost 99 percent (two to three pounds) of all the body’s calcium is found in the bones and teeth.

Calcium, magnesium and phosphorus all work together for healthy bones and teeth. When stress is present calcium is lost, and a deficiency in magnesium may occur in highly stressed individuals.

Magnesium has been referred to as the ant stress mineral.

The best time to take Skeletal Strength is at bedtime.

 

Ingredients:

Medicinal ingredients: Each tablet contains

calcium (hydrolyzed vegetable protein (HVP) chelate,

phosphate dibasic, citrate) 150 mg;

7 Year Old Fox Hound, Duke’s Testimony:

  Our 7 year old Fox Hound runs around all day long and then comes into the house limping in pain at night.  His hind left leg is inflamed and red and sore to the point he will not let you touch it.  He actually nips at my hand if I try to massage it for him.  I decided to try him on Skeletal Strength.  We started crushing up 4 tabs a day and put them into his dog food.  Within just 7 days, his leg has no more pain, no more inflammation, I can touch him anywhere on his hip leg area without him becoming angry and he runs even harder all day long.  He is now on 2 crushed Skeletal a day for maintenance.  I have now incorporated into our own personal regime 2 tablets a day of Skeletal Strength.  If a dog has this much success imagines what it will do for our own bone structure.

Berberine

 Berberine From Dr. Keith Scott Mumby

Berberine is an herbal plant substance which surpasses all others!

It is a stunningly versatile plant substance, proven to have many useful pharmacological effects, including weight loss, glucose control, antimicrobial and antiviral activity (including anti-SARS-Cov-2 virus we’ve been hearing so much about), antitumor activity and it is a strong anti-inflammatory!1

Berberine is a naturally occurring plant alkaloid extracted from Turmeric goldenseal (Hydrastis canadensis) or orange-root, coptis, European barberry, goldthread, Oregon grape and Phellodendron (Cortex Phellodendri) or Huangbai.

We’ve been battered by the cholesterol hoax for decades.

Berberine can be used as an alternative treatment for patients who do not tolerate statins, because of its lipid-lowering effects. The findings of a 2021 review (meta-analysis) demonstrated that Berberine alone can reduce dangerous triglycerides, total cholesterol, LDL and HDL cholesterol, fasting blood glucose and HOMA-IR levels in patients with metabolic disorders (HOMA-IR or Homeostatic Model Assessment for Insulin Resistance is the best measure we have of insulin resistance).

Compared with Berberine, metformin had little effect on lipid parameters. Compared with statins, Berberine is a miracle worker… and safer by far!

Several in vitro studies have shown that Berberine can promote glucose-stimulated insulin secretion, which is clearly better than injecting it. It had a positive effect on pancreas size, islet cells (which secrete insulin) and pancreatic insulin secretion.3

Another study found that Berberine treatment for 8 weeks could significantly reduce fasting blood glucose (FBG), which is something we want to keep as low as possible. Years ago, FBG was widely preferred as the number one marker for how long you would likely live!

In fact insulin resistance is one of THE markers for obesity, disordered metabolism and thus longevity. The mechanism is straightforward and not hard for the layman to understand. We eat too much sugar, insulin levels rise to lower blood glucose, typically by changing it to fat. But we eat MORE sugar and that means more insulin…

There comes a time when we consume so much sugar and other carbohydrates that insulin cannot get the blood glucose levels down. This is the state of pre-diabetes. If bad eating habits continue the blood glucose levels soar, so does insulin levels, but THE BODY IS NO LONGER LISTENING. Insulin cannot deal with the situation and this state we call insulin resistance.

It’s very bad news because insulin is very inflammatory in its own right. It tears up the lining of your blood vessels; that leads to heart disease, blood pressure  and stroke. VERY bad news.

You must get your insulin levels down, which means eat less (or no) sugar, and lower your hbA1C. BERBERINE DOES THIS FOR YOU. It’s ace at lowering glucose and insulin! Thus Berberine has emerged as a great herbal solution to pre-diabetes and diabetes.

In summary, Berberine is a potent oral hypoglycemic agent with modest beneficial effect on lipid metabolism. It is safe and the cost of treatment by Berberine is very low. It may serve as a new drug candidate in the treatment of type 2 diabetes.4

At one time Natures Sunshine weight loss program as prescribed by Dr. matt Tripp was to take 1 Berberine and 1 Probtioic 11 with every meal. The meals were high amounts of salads, meats and no carbos or sugars. Then he recommended a smoothie twice a day once in the morning and once in the afternoon. It was a very successful program for weight loss.

Vision Board

 Quote Charles Hannel: See it through even if the heavens fall; if you make up your mind to do something, do it; let nothing, no one, interfere; the "I" in you has determined this , the thing is settled; the die is cast, there is no longer any argument.  If you cannot do these things it is because you have thus far not made the necessary effort. Now is the time to make the effort. The result will be exactly in proportion to the effort expended. One of the strongest affirmations which you can use for the purpose of strengthening your will and realizing your power to accomplish, is, "I can be what I will to be." You can create for your self the thing you desire.” Charles Hannel author of The Master Key System

Grant was diagnosed with a sarcoma tumor at the back of his leg. He started the Paw Paw program in 2014. Then in 2017 an MRI test showed that his tumor had grown bigger. This is when Grant’s vision of healing his own body went out the window. In his mind the MRI was `100 % accurate.

Grant was in shock! At this point of the interview I deviated and we talked about the accuracy of MRI tests and this is what I discovered.Ross Hauser, MD said this: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is commonly used for diagnosis and as a research tool, but its accuracy is questionable.”

 Research says 43% of Knee MRIs are arguably useless. This is huge! MRI testing is 43% useless! So I ask why would an MRI test be more accurate for a tumor measurement? Furthermore Dr, Hauser states: In other words – the MRI pointed out the obvious, but it had difficulty pointing out the less obvious. It could not offer help if the image was too difficult to interpret or were of no use at all for recommending a treatment plan.

Of course, no one ever asks about the accuracy of the MRI tests. No one ever looks at the fact that the MRI is interpreted by one MRI technologist. We are programmed in our society never to question and to assume that all MRI tests are 100% accurate.

Then Dr. Hauser and his team state: False-positive MRI scans may lead to unnecessary surgery for meniscus damage. So I point out that in the case of the tumor that MRI test could also be a false positive! Of course, Grant did not know that and he did not question it either. Fear took over. In his mind that Paw Paw program was not working, and he would have to take a different route. “I was scared. I relied on the technicians report. If the technician said so it must be true, and I had to do something.”

So off to the naturopathic doctor Grant went. The ND recommended a Vitamin C intravenous, and Grant had no hesitations. He never asked about the success stories that the ND had regarding these intravenous treatments. Fear and desperation ran the show for Grant.

On Feb 22/2017 Grant went in to have surgery and to have the tumor in his leg removed. The doctor explained that this would be a tricky procedure because the tumor was wrapped around the sciatic nerve and if the doctor even dared to knick that nerve Grant would lose his leg. The surgeon explained that the surgery would take at least 1 1⁄2 hours. Lori was left in the waiting room. It was 45 minutes later when the doctor walked out into the waiting room to talk to Lori. She was terrified. The surgery was supposed to last for 90 minutes. Something must have gone terribly wrong! But the surgeon had a miraculous report to share. Grant’s tumor was totally encapsulated, and it came out 100% clean. There were absolutely no tentacles coming from the tumor. Lori was ecstatic. The Paw Paw program had worked. The Paw Paw was able to eat up these tentacles reaching out for sugar to feed it. Once there are no more tentacles and the tumor is no longer fed it would just shrivel up and die.

 Grant then came to the realization that the Paw Paw program was working but it just wasn’t working fast enough for him. “: There would be times I would be in the shower smashing my leg and telling that tumor to get out of my body.” Little did Grant know that the tumor was doing just that. It was in its dying stage but Grant did not recognize that. Two weeks later the surgeon reported that he got is all. The lab tests showed there was no more cancer, and everything came back clean.

But the story does not end here. The surgeon asked Grant to see the oncologist. “This was the darkest experience for me. This woman oncologist cast a huge spell on me. Her words totally scared me. She told me if I did not do radiation the cancer would come back, and I could lose my  leg. The image of losing my leg was so strong that I forgot the message from the surgeon who just minutes ago said I was cancer free. For 2 days I lived in this foreboding thought that I would lose my leg. The what ifʼs kept ringing in my ears. I had to really muster enough strength to believe in myself. When you go through something like that you reach out deep into your soul level. Then it came to me. I would call Donna Roth. What she said totally surprised me. She said this: I have heard that a hundred times before. And Lori supported me.”

Off to the doctor one more time. The doctor recommended more testing and then follow- up testing twice a year and she was scheduling it all in. At this point Grant regained his power and Lori supported him 100% and I, Donna Roth, was cheering. Grant cancelled all X-rays, and all follow up testing. He was done! He was back in his power; He was in control, and he called the shots. It is now 2022  and Grant continues to have good health. “We give our power away to somebody in a white coat. We long have been indoctrinated.

What do we learn from Grant’s story:

Note Grant’s experience where he was told by his surgeon that there was no cancer in his body, yet the next minute the oncologist created a vision for Grant that he would lose his leg if he did not succumb to her authority and her chemo and her radiation. Take note who created a vision for Grant. Who created the vision that he would lose his leg? We learn that your vision can be destroyed instantly as in Grant’s case  by a white coat authority. I absolutely know that we have all been programmed  for a long time since birth to believe and to trust well educated white coat authorities.

Know the importance of creating your own vision. It is precious and it is the treasure you have created. It is your creation. You must believe in it with all the strength of your heart. Yes, there may be times that you may fall short and you may doubt your vision. But this is the time to recognize your shortfall, and this is the time you must rely solely on your own faith, that faith that your body is created to heal. Grant teaches us well when he emphatically tells us that he had to muster enough strength to believe in himself and that took him 2 days of really hard work. What hard work am I referring to? Grant had to overcome the dark foreboding thought and vision of dread and fear of losing his leg.

I have worked with many many cancer clients over many years  and I have to say that it is that the most strenuous task of my work is to  get them to stay on task and stay in their vision. The majority of the people I have worked with in the past have fallen off the path by giving up their vision to an outside  authority. Now to clarify this statement it is okay if the outside authority is lined up with your own created vision. But it is not okay if the outside authority is out of sync with your vision.

I once worked with a man diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. He faithfully followed the Paw Paw program that I had designed for him. Blood tests showed that there was a marked improvement and he felt better and felt that he was now in control. This is when I went out of town on a holiday and that’s when things fell apart. This man then decided to go back to the doctor who convinced him that he should have another chemotherapy treatment. I will never forget the shock when I discovered that he succumbed to chemo. He called me on Thursday to tell me that he just had a chemo treatment. On Saturday I received an email that had died. This many totally forgot about his blood work. He totally forgot that his body was created to heal. He totally forgot that chemo is a poison. This man lost his vision. He fell off his pathway of faith. I cannot emphasize strongly enough the importance of having your own vision board of health and sticking to your vison board.

Now I have to admit that there are times that a doctor’s vision makes you so angry that you move very quickly into creating a vision for your own body. Let me tell you about Gail. Gail was diagnosed with breast cancer and spent 5 weeks in the Psch ward after her chemotherapy treatments. Then she did radiation treatments. Listen to Gail;s words: I did 5 weeks of radiation treatments. They made me feel really tired but nothing compared to the chemo treatments. I absolutely refused to do any more chemotherapy treatments! When I told my doctor this I was told,’ You can go home, and you don’t need to see me anymore.” The feeling I got was “go home and die.” I was angry and I decided that I would not die! I would find a different way.

In this scenario the doctor made Gail so angry that she decided to find a different way. The doctor was the driving force in this situation.  And the minute Gail made that decision her neighbor told her about Donna Roth. Here are Gail’s words once again.

“I was determined to take on the Paw Paw program and do it until  I got over the cancer. Finances were tight for me and I really had to budget to pay for my products. I have taught my children to know the difference between what you need and what you want. I knew what I wanted, and I set aside the money I needed for my supplements, and I made it work!

I continued the Paw Paw program until in January of 2016 I was told there was no sign of cancer. The medical tests proved that there was no cancer at all. In June of 2016 all tests once again proved that the cancer was gone. I even had my ovaries tested and there was no sign of any cancer. The doctor told me that I did not need to see him anymore.”:

Note how nothing could stop Gail from doing the nutritional program to overcome cancer. Not even tight finances. Gail made a decision, she had a vision and she made it happen.

I can’t help but relate one more story. This is Diane’s story. She was diagnosed with MS when she was 19 years old at McGill university studying piano when her fingers could no longer move  the keys across the piano board and she was in the hospital and in a wheel chair. This is what Diane states:

I began to question the proficiency of the medical world. Surly there are cause and effect relationships when one is diagnosed with a serious disease such as MS. In other words, one symptom will lead to another. In my case I ended up being diagnosed with 4 other different diseases before the age of 30 and no doctor looked at the correlation of these diseases.

Erythema Novosum, big purple bumps on my shins

Sarcoidosis, nodule between my lung and my heart.

Fibromyalgia, painful muscles

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

I remember asking a specialist if there could be a connection between the 5 diseases, because I simply could not believe that somebody could be so doomed, and I was told “No, no connection at all – that is the way it is”. 

Well that didn’t make sense to me at all; to be given so many labels. For example, I was much more tired than the typical MS patient – so CFS became part of my list.  I had tremendous pain and according to their books, MS is not painful, so Fibromyalgia was another label on my list. And the list continued…

There was this one day when I was in the neurologist’s waiting room. He was a specialist treating exclusively MS patients and   I brought it to his attention that 8 out of 10 people in that waiting room with me were also in pain so who said MS is not painful? – By the time the 5th label was placed on my doom and gloom list, I’d had it with the medical system! I got very angry and frustrated. This is when I took a different pathway.

I began researching natural modalities and remedies. I thought about my situation and I realized that when we get sick, it does not happen overnight - it is one drop at a time and it is just that one last drop that makes that bucket overflow. These little drops, these symptoms happen over time, month by month, year by year … one symptom, then another one … then another … until it becomes a full-blown diagnosed disease.

My research led me to eastern philosophies, nutritional strategies, herbal medicines, mental visualizations, alternative therapies and so on.  The more I studied them, the better all these pieces of the puzzle seemed to fit together. There weren’t 5 diagnosed diseases in my body. There was only an overload of toxicity which created a lot of inflammation and a serious lack of nutrients. This is when I met Gail who gave me direction and helped me back to health. She was instrumental in leading me, inspiring me and mentoring me to keep me on track. I followed Gail’s program; I worked at it.  It was when I finally started to get well that all of my diagnosed symptoms as listed on my doom and gloom list; Sarcoidosis, Erythema Novosum, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia all mysteriously disappeared including all the symptoms of MS.

My family doctor at that time was a staunch supporter and simply said “whatever you’re doing Diane, don’t stop!” My neurologist finally threw his hands up in the air and said.” it’s gone, I don’t know why, but it’s gone, check-in annually so I can document this. “And I did, though I stopped checking in several years ago…But I do wonder if he really has it documented that I no longer suffer with MS.  As you recall I was strongly told by all authorities that I must accept the fact that I have MS and that it would never change!

It is my strong belief that everybody needs to know there are choices ...

You do have options and there are choices ... and they are a powerful combination!

After all my experiences and all my trials and tribulations I decided to take ownership for my own recovery! 

My decision was crystal clear. Note that I did not think, “I might not recover”. I did NOT say,” If I recover.”  I strongly stated, “when I recover.” And I strongly emphasized, ‘once I would come back to health.” This is a very important point and I believe crucial to successfully overcoming any illness or disease or achieving any goal for that matter. You see, in my mind and in my heart - there were no doubts.  I created my own vision where I was symptom free, playing in the grass and running after my children, having a career and living a life full of joy and fulfillment.

I did not know how long it would take.

I did not know what I would have to do.

I did not know how much money it would cost.

My one burning desire was to get well, then stay well.

I wanted to enjoy life without depending on others. I wanted to be in control, to do everything I wanted to do, when I wanted to it and as long as I wanted to do it and to do whatever it takes to get healthy and to stay healthy. I wanted it so badly!!

I now knew I had an option and I started to make changes. During these years I nutritionally supported my body and I did all that was required to get my body functioning normally. This included a clean diet with lots of whole foods plus large quantities and correct formulations of nutrient dense herbals and nutritional supplements. Over the years I always followed the medical advice first and it didn’t work for me. Out of desperation looked for other answers. I visited dozens and dozens of practitioners always searching and never giving up. Somethings worked to a certain degree and other times it didn’t work. The three times I came back to 100% healthy I discovered there was a common denominator. Each one of them used Natures Sunshine products. Later on, after extensive research I discovered why Nature’s Sunshine worked. It was the company with the highest quality and   the correct formulations. To this day Nature’s Sunshine continues to be part of my maintenance program and I use them in my natural health practice.

How much did it cost?

For me there is no cost. We borrowed the money, so I could do this program. I can’t put a price on it. If I am not healthy I can’t do anything:

 I could not work without health.

 I could not look after children without health.

 I would be a burden without health.

 There is no cost. You are never too old, you are never too young. And you need to stick to it. I decided to do the program until it worked. I made a decision and I became involved in taking control of my own health. I took courses because nobody had been able to help me to stay healthy. Money was not going to stop me from getting healthy.

One day after doing the program for many months and still seeing no results I called my Mom and I cried. I had spent all my money. I had taken all my supplements. I was ready to give up. I cried all night. Then something happened. During the night I got this inspiration. I realized I could not quit and wait for a solution to be handed to me on a silver platter. I decided  I would not quit, I would not give up. I be if I quit. I would do the program until it worked. I did it and it worked.

What about taking drugs for bladder and colon control like I do? Can you take herbs with them?

You just keep taking the drugs and add the herbs. As you start to feel better you can decrease the drugs and increase the herbs. Herbs rebuild your body. It’s like mending a sock. It takes time for the herbs to build.

What about fear?

Feeling fear is normal. If you didn’t feel fear you would be abnormal. You are a very special person but you are normal. It is very scary when you are given a diagnosis, when you hear what the doctors are saying. There is a lot of uncertainty. Usually there is not much positivity. You really don’t know fear until you are in a crisis. It’s like going out in the night. You can’t see ahead, and you don’t know what is coming. But just know one thing. If you drive 50 feet you can now see the next 50, your drive 50 you see the next 50 and you keep going until you get there. If you are doing the right thing your body will repair itself! Do the right thing and come back to health and balance.

How long did it take before you got out of your wheel chair?

From the time I was in a wheel chair to the time I was almost functioning normally it took a year but I was not in the wheel chair the whole time .

Have you ever had an MRI?

Yes, the last time I had an MRI was about 4 years ago for a totally different reason. The doctor told me that my MS was progressing! Progressing??? I had been out of my wheel chair and walking in high heels for 20 year and he told me my MS was progressing! That is when I decided to “walk away!”

There are many of you on the call this evening. I strongly suggest that you create your own vision for your health and for your body. If you don’t create your own vision then know that someone is creating the vision for you. I once talked to a friend who started telling me how fortunate we are to have nursing homes and that she was looking forward to being a resident of a nursing home when it comes to that time that she is no longer able to look after herself. Check out her vision. She is unknowingly accepting the vision that is being created for her.  Who is creating that vision for her? The people who own the nursing homes, the people who are running the nursing homes have already created the vision for you. Is that really what you want your senior years to look like? Think about it; disabled, unable to walk, body is out of control, people catering to your drug needs, nurses waiting for you with their syringes full of vaccines. Flu shots, shingles shots, Covid boosters and the list goes on.

It is time you sat down with a vision board and created your own vision for your own health weather in your senior years or otherwise, hiking, skiing, paddle boarding, swimming, dancing, playing with your grand children, travelling, having fun , herbs in your hands, knowing how to use herbs, no fear, no dark forboding thoughts, only faith and joy.

Helen Keller says, “The most pathetic person in the world is someone who has sight but no vision.”  The purpose of these Monday night calls is  to provide you with the education, the knowledge, the skills and the empowerment to heal your very own body be it from cancer, blood pressure, diabetes, arthritis. loss of memory and so on. If you do not have the skills, insights and strategies to wrestle cancer effectively then you can end up being miserable, anxious, stressed and full of fear. However if you have the skills, insights and strategies and you are consistently engaged in learning and applying the skills that are taught then you can overcome your own cancer or any other diseased condition To really take on your cancer or any other diseased condition it is imperative that you be assertive and very clear- “I want a healthy body” Know what you want. “ I want to heal my cancer or diseased condition “. Why do you want it. “I want to be healthy and to help other people heal.” Your success will be in direct proportion to your clarity and your consistent application of all the skills that are consistent with the Laws of Nature. That’s where TAFYH comes into play. TAFYH has the answers to your healing process presented to you in short 20-minute teleconference call every day for 5 days a week for a period of 2 months. TAFYH makes you accountable and empowered to take responsible action for your own health while digesting a 5-minute profound lesson every day. You learn it then you do it every day. There are 2 spots remaining for TAFYH team 74 to start after September 15 and the fee is $377 plus the cost of your products. If you are needing answers to your serious health problems, then I urge to come on board TAFYH.

MCT Oil,Coconut Oil,

 Anecdotal reports claim coconut oil produces remarkable recoveries from Alzheimer's disease, but is there research to support this? Now,  one study published in the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease shows that a mechanism for coconut oil's brain rescuing properties does in fact exist

The internet loves a good "natural cure" recovery story. For instance, when Dr. Mary Newport, MD, dramatically reverses her husband's symptoms of Alzheimer's disease after just two weeks of adding coconut oil to his diet, thousands enthusiastically share the story. But despite their popularity, anecdotes rarely stand the test of time, nor the scrutiny of the medical community, at least not like experimental research published in peer-reviewed biomedical journals.

All the more reason to celebrate a promising study published in the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease titled, "Coconut Oil Attenuates the Effects of Amyloid-β on Cortical Neurons In Vitro."[i] The study lends fresh experimental support to an accumulating body of anecdotal reports that coconut oil may alleviate and/or regress cognitive deficits associated with aging and neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's.

Medical researchers from the Memorial University of Newfoundland, St. John's, NL, Canada, undertook a pilot study to investigate the effects of coconut oil supplementation directly on cortical neurons treated with amyloid-β (Aβ) peptide in vitro. Aβ peptide is the main component of certain deposits found in the brains of patients with Alzheimer's disease believed to contribute to the disease.

The researchers noted that a clinical trial, which we reported on in our article MCT Fats Found in Coconut Oil Boost Brain Function in Only One Dose, reported significant improvements in Alzheimer's disease patients after 45 and 90 days of treatment with medium chain triglycerides from coconut oil. They pointed out that this trial led to the marketing of the FDA-approved 'medical food' caprylidene (trade name Axona), but that the public has shown greater interest in coconut oil itself as a potential therapy, owing to its far greater affordability and availability.

The researchers sought to test the hypothesis that coconut oil is beneficial for neurodegenerative conditions using a cell model. Live rat neurons were exposed to various combinations of Aβ peptide and coconut oil, with the result that Aβ peptide reduced survival of neurons and coconut protected against this Aβ-induced reduction in survival time. The researchers noted that coconut treated Aβ cultured neurons appeared "healthier," and that coconut oil "rescued" Aβ-treated neurons from mitochondrial damage caused by their toxicity. The researchers observed coconut oil preventing Aβ-induced changes in mitochondrial size and circularity. These findings have great significance, as mitochondria function is often compromised in the brains of Alzheimer's disease patients.

According to the researchers, "The rationale for using coconut oil as a potential AD [Alzheimer's Disease] therapy is related to the possibility that it could be metabolized to ketone bodies that would provide an alternative energy source for neurons, and thus compensate for mitochondrial dysfunction." The researchers proposed that ketone bodies formed as a byproduct of coconut oil metabolism may offset Aβ-induced impairment of mitochondrial function and thus energy metabolism. Considering that the medium chain triglyceride found in coconut known as caprylic acid does cross the blood-brain barrier, and has been found to have anti-convulsant, in addition to, ketogenic effects, coconut oil likely does have a neuroprotective effect.[ii]

The researchers concluded, "The results of this pilot study provide a basis for further investigation of the effects of coconut oil, or its constituents, on neuronal survival focusing on mechanisms that may be involved."

Clearly, one of the ways that coconut oil can 'rescue' the brains of Alzheimer's patients is by addressing the metabolic derangement in the brain associated with the condition, or what is known as "type 3 diabetes." As the brain ages, it becomes increasingly resistant to insulin, and therefore incapable of using glucose efficiently to meet its significant energy needs -- hence the metaphor "type 3 diabetes." Thankfully, nature has devised an alternative fuel source for the brain that is independent of glucose utilization and the insulin signaling system, namely, the use of ketone bodies. Coconut oil provides the substrate for the immediate production of these ketone bodies, enabling significant quantities to be produced within a matter of only minutes following ingestion. This metabolic restoration of function may explain why remarkable recoveries in cognitive function and memory have been observed, anecdotally.

Putting the science aside for a moment, coconut, like walnuts, both obey the so-called 'doctrine of signatures.' Both foods are encased by a skull-like shell, and contain within a fatty acid-rich 'meat,' that feed the organ - the brain - they resemble. Could the poetry of our direct experience tell us something about the value this food has to our brain, or should we continue to play agnostic and exercise great caution incorporating a 'food as medicine' approach until the men in white coats, and powerful economic forces behind them willing to shell out millions, if not billions of dollars, to "prove" in randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled fashion something we probably already know is true?

Words of Interest from Donna Roth

Words of Interest from Carol

 

Write a letter to your MP and ask them to help us by:

1. Getting sections 500-504 of Bill C-47 repealed.

3. Getting the Charter of Health Freedom enacted.

5. De-regulating natural health products.

The Charter of Health Freedom is proposed legislation that gives Natural Health Products and Traditional Medicines their own Act.

The Charter protects our access to Natural Health Products and Traditional Medicines by creating separate legal category for them.  Rather than being deemed as dangerous drugs under the Food and Drugs Act, under the Charter Natural Health Products and Traditional Medicines are deemed to be safe, as they are in the United States

The Charter of Health Freedom offers an appropriate, healthy, beneficial, safe and well-rooted change for regulating the natural health community.  Canadians are protected by permitting unsafe products to be removed while at the same time ensuring that safe and effective treatments remain available.


Recently Fran called me to tell me how much she loved Gingko Biloba.

 Then I got a call from Brian with some really exciting news. Brian said this : I told you , you would be the first. I will let Brian tell you his good news.

 On Saturday I went to the Farmer’s market because I love farmers and I love their products. That is where I buy cottage cheese, yogurt, raw milk gouda cheese, seed crackers and so on. This past Saturday I stopped at a kiosk of a wonderful lady who is very talented in pressing flowers from Nature and creating amazing art work from her pressed flowers and plants. From our conversation of the beauty of Nature we moved into how CoVid shots defied Nature. Sadly she reported how she had succumbed to these shots because she wanted to protect other people. She said she bought into the narrative. My response was this: Those shots are all dangerous and how could I ever help to protect others if I am sick from the shots. Then I moved into telling her that I do not go to doctors. I simply rely on our God given plants from  Nature. Then the great question came up. We need doctors. What if you ended up with a kidney infection? That is the time you need a doctor. I remarked how I could confidently heal any kidney infection using herbs from Nature. Now you just heard Brian. Did the antibiotics heal his UTI infection that he would get every time he had one of those doctor prescribed cystoscopy. NO! It did not because the UTI always came back. It did not work. And every time he had another UTI infection it was worse and worse. It was the One Day Kidney Flush using K. Cat’s Claw and UC3 J that worked and he has not had one since. How many of you on this call have the confidence to turn to herbs instead of doctors and drugs if you have an infection?
