Answers for Those Suffering with Chronic Disease

5 Tips for Getting Through It

Some doctors will admit that there is no single cause for chronic disease and no one answer for every person. The body can and has healed itself from every imbalance and condition that has been labeled a disease. A disease, or dis-ease means that the body is not at ease, it has broken down and is not functioning optimally. One or more of the body’s systems have been compromised or taxed. Basically, the body is fighting itself. Here are 5 tips to help you regain your health and care for your body and spirit:

1. You must detoxify your body. There is a reason your body has shut down and many times it is because it has been loaded with toxins until it can no longer function as our Creator intended. For example, silicone from breast implants has caused chronic fatigue syndrome and lupus. Here are some ways to begin to minimize toxins: drink filtered water (tap water contains chlorine and in some states fluoride which are highly toxic to the body); purchase a shower and bathtub water filter; get an air purifier for your bedroom or whole house. Avoid sodas, diet sodas, artificial sweeteners (none of them are safe), all fast foods, foods labeled no fat, no carbs, no sugar, fat free, etc. These foods contain chemicals. Read the labels. Your body does not recognize many of these chemicals and does not know how to process them. Stop smoking. Be responsible about the amount of alcohol you drink.

2. Handle your emotions around being sick. Understand your thoughts and emotions can contribute to being sick. Have you found your purpose in life? Many, many people are not what I call “on-purpose”. What makes your heart sing? Take an honest look at any anger, resentment, resistance or lack of acceptance about yourself or your life. Ask yourself this question from your heart, “are there any benefits to my being sick?” Perhaps you get attention, it is a great excuse, etc.

3. Get some exercise every day. Walking is the best, because it does not deplete your energy, it adds to it. Walk for 30 minutes in the sunshine. If you cannot walk for 30 minutes, walk for 20, or 15 or 10. Sunshine helps the immune system as well.

4. Try the therapeutic essential oil, Lavender. Lavender is the most gentle essential oil and she is direct from Mother Nature. Essential oils help raise the body’s vibration and help rebuild the immune system—crucial for maintaining optimum health.

5. Homeopathy has shown great results with chronic disease because it works with the body, not against it. Natural medicine does not cause additional side effects. Seek out a knowledgable, experienced homeopathic or naturopathic physician.
