Getting Out Of The Way of Yourself

Getting Out Of The Way of Yourself
How do Religion and Politics Affect This?

I had a great conversation with someone yesterday and it ended up being the highlight of my day. We were talking about growth and why we, as humanity, get in the way of our own growth, healing, and daily lives. Neither one of us had the answer to that in the broad sense but it really doesn’t matter. What does matters is what I do in my own life not to interfere with my growth, healing and who I am. Many of my beliefs, thoughts, and realities are popular with other people, and some are not. I always think how boring our world would be if we all thought, spoke, acted and had the exact same beliefs. My upbringing taught me that we are all created as one. I know that is true. I am as equally as important as a tree in a forest. I am as significant as the ant. Everything is created by design and for purpose. Nothing happens as an accident. While we may have not had a certain vision in our mind, in the large picture, everything comes into fruition by divine design. With the thought that we are all one, where is the room for individuality? Everyone grows, learns, and experiences at a different pace. Some people are hit hard with experiences early on, some sail through life until they slam into a brick wall. This is where diversity is important. Since we are all connected, our own personal evolution is connected to the evolution of everything else. Notice the mental/emotional/physical state of the general population living in the United States. How many people do you know that have an ailment, are worriers, fearful, angry, complain, are tired, aging, and tend to be more negative than positive? Now how many people do you know are always uplifting? These ratios are often unbalanced in favor with the negative. Now look at how our environment tends to reflect that negativity. Kids are not like they were when I was growing up. Adults are not like they were when I was growing up. Society is not like it was when I was growing up. But there is a direct connection with how people feel and how that affects everything else. Negativity breeds more negativity unless you put a stop to it in your own life.


Politics and religion have always been of interest to me. These two subjects are two of the most controversial subjects that can bring up a heated discussion rather quickly. I know someone that owned a business. The business was VERY poorly run but it still managed to hang on. There were changes just about every month in personnel and it got to the point that the only people that went to work there were fresh out of school and they quickly were given an education in business success. This business held on for 7 years and had a slightly steady flow of customers. The business owner decided to verbally announce their political views in open forums. Within 3 months, there were ZERO clients and the doors closed. People are stuck on their own opinions and of course, most people feel their way is the right way and the ONLY way. Anyone that has a different opinion is deemed poorly misguided and disillusioned. But you see, in this thinking, people are standing in the way of their own growth. I am an open book. I allow all beliefs. I allow all people. What this means is that I am not going to think any differently about an atheist, a highly religious person, a family that does not go to church, or a psychic. I am not going to pity someone or believe they are misguided because they have the right to be who they are. Remember, we are all one. The hierarchy thinking has never proven to be a winner in the past and yes, history does repeat itself for these reasons.


Our family takes 2 trips to Austin each year, on a non-holiday, to feed homeless people on the street. The reason I point out non-holidays is because I believe you should never do something by guilt or because it is a time of year where it is expected that you are charitable. I have one charitable deed I do every day. I make sure I do at least something every day to unexpected enrich the life of someone else. Not because I have to or should, but because I have a vision of a world I am working towards. This vision is drawing more people to me that have the same vision. The change starts right here with me. In Austin, we fill our car and hand food out to the people on the street. This appalls some people. Some people are not for supporting homeless people, some people crusade for them. My opinion is this, they are human and they have a need. No matter what their circumstances are, no matter what their personal responsibility is or is not, does not matter to me. I don’t make judgments and I do not give something with expectations or with strings attached. I give because that is what is inside me. Of all the hundreds of people we have fed since moving down here, do you know what I have learned? The power in human random kindness. Homeless people have feelings. Their eyes well up with tears and when they say God Bless You as they are looking you straight in the eye and you are looking straight back at them, they mean it and you FEEL it. It also hits me in a way that I can never ever put into words because it touches my spirit and stirs something in me that I do not feel every second of every day. My life is an adventure and I am going to experience and learn all that I can so I can keep making ME a better place to live in.


The next time you come across someone that has a vastly different perspective than you do, acknowledge them for the human they are, and treat them with the same respect you want to be treated with. We are blessed with diversity and we can learn so much from others if we’d only get out of our own way.

WHY are we so fat?

WHY are we so fat?
the real answer once and for all

It appears that some people are really bothered by the word fat. If you are one of those people, I apologize in advance but please read on to understand how fat is not an ugly word, it is actually a self protective function of the body.

I have spoken often about the connection to emotions and toxicity. The body sees toxic emotions no different than a physical poison. The body handles all toxicity the SAME way. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the liver processes all of our thoughts and emotions. What are you feeding your liver? Someone following Dr Emoto's work took 3 grains of rice to carry out an experiment on the power of our emotions. To the 1st grain of rice, the family said "I Hate You" to it. The 2nd grain of rice, they said, "I Love You" to it. The 3rd grain of rice they completely ignored. After time had passed, the grain of rice they said "I Hate You" to was starting to decay. The 2nd grain of rice they said "I Love You" to still was in good condition. The 3rd grain of rice that they ignored, had rotted. Emotions have power. Many people stuff emotions down and ignore them. This is how disease gets a hold in the body. Other people are angry, and while they may not have a disease, they do have toxic personalities. These are people that are hard to be around for any length of time. There is a tv show called myth busters that carried out a similar experiment. I wrote about that in another blog so I will not revisit it here, but all of these independent experiments prove that emotions, while seemingly not tangible, do greatly affect you.

The body's response to negative emotions? Weight gain and swollen fat cells. The body protects itself by padding the internal body with cushioning. Think about the eating disorders that are emotion related: anexoria, bulemia, and emotional eating. Emotional eating is where people eat for comfort. There is such a large percent of the american culture that eats for comfort. Look back to the programming we had as children, and how we program our children today. Family events are celebrated in a restaurant, centered around food. Birthdays are centered around a birthday cake. If a child feels bad, we "cheer them up" with food. After winning a baseball game, families huddle around pizza or ice cream at the local shoppe. We use food all the time as a reward and comfort system, it is no wonder people turn to food for comfort.

But there is another aspect to fat that we have not considered and it has nothing to do with emotions and everything to do with toxic chemicals.

Toxic chemicals surround us and are making us fat despite no fat, low fat, exercise, and diets available today. Everyone is looking for the quick fix, but in order to understand what will help, you need to understand what is going on in the body. Our high stress, highly refined and processed diets, not having enough relaxing time or beneficial exercise, and not enjoying life enough leads us to an impaired detoxification system. Our major detox pathways have been interrupted and we no longer can expel harmful substances like our bodies once did. Picture a stopped up drain and there you have our detox pathways. Our lymph, our skin, our liver, kidneys, and lungs are not functioning at optimum anymore. Toxic chemicals are highly fat soluble. Which means, when the body cannot detox the toxins on it's own, it stores the toxins in the fat tissue and the cells fill up with lymphatic waste.

People think that if they are eating vegetables, they are healthy, but little is known about the way food is grown. Carbamates, also in medicines and cosmetics, are herbicides and pesticides sprayed on food and given to livestock to promote growth, fatten livestock and vegetables by slowing down the metabolic rate. We ingest these foods and this slows down our metabolic rate, causing weight gain.

If you experience hormone problems and researched the cause, you will find that hormone imbalance and toxins are directly related. Catecholamines, the body’s slimming hormones, are impaired by the toxins clogging up in your system. When adrenals are fatigued, you have a perfect recipe for low thyroid function to add on to your list of reasons why you are gaining weight.

I know it sounds daunting but I cannot stress enough the need to Detox, Detox, and Detox some more. In the world we live in, detoxing must be a part of our every day lives and I can promise you the detox packs you find at the health foods stores are not enough. You have a life time of built-up chemicals and toxins. If you have questions, look at our webpage. We not only offer detoxing options but we offer a plethora of information to educate you.

Morgellons, Cancer, Osteoporosis, Lymes, SARS, Staph Infections, Superbugs

Morgellons, Cancer, Osteoporosis, Lymes, SARS, Staph Infections, Superbugs, and all other Degenerative, Debilitating Disorders, Diseases and Illnesses

I want to start out by saying that we do not claim to cure anything. We do offer information based on our research and knowledge. This information and our programs are intended to educate and shed a beam of knowledge on the body/mind systems.

AY Wellness focuses on the Core. Whether you are researching Morgellons, Cancer, Fibromyalgia, MS, Chronic Fatigue, SARS, Super bugs, Lymes Disease, or any other disease, disorder, or affliction, you should be asking, what is the Core issue? There are a million and one therapies, herbs, remedies, and protocols all designed to rid the body of symptoms.

In order to understand why some protocols, herbs, theories work some of the time on some people and not all the time on all people, you need to understand what a symptom is: Any indication of a disease or injury perceived by the patient. -by the Oxford University Press. Put in our terms, a Symptom is just a manifestation of a series of events happening in the body, all stemming from One core issue. Before we get into the particulars of what we have found that does work, I want you to know, especially in the case of Morgellons, the mysterious thread disease, it does NOT matter what the origin of the substance is. It does NOT matter if it is parasitic, bacterial, or unidentified. Knowing WHAT something is, only helps us to deal with the symptoms, but that is only needed to control the outbreaks, not freeing the body from the affliction to begin with.

In the case of Morgellons, I believe that everyone has been exposed to it and that it is contagious. I believe people drink it, breathe it, it is in the food supply, and surrounds us constantly. I believe pets are affected as well. I believe many people walk around with it, having symptoms, but are unaware of what it exactly is because it seems to present in different ways. The answer to why it strikes some people and not others, can be found at the core. I personally work on people that have Morgellons and my heart goes out to the men, women, children, and babies being born with this. One of my interests and passions is helping people with Morgellons and people that are afflicted with any disease or disorder, because the core comes down to the same. It matters not what the disease or disorder IS, it only matters why YOU have it.

There will be people that read this and think it is pure hogwash. One of the people I work with that has Morgellons had come to me because he had already rejected someone else saying the same thing I am. The theory seemed too simple and yet too complicated. This man was bound and determined to find out what it was. In the meantime, this was eating him alive and he had lost all his relationships, including a spouse. Finally he came to realization that it didn't matter what the origins of Morgellons was and it no longer mattered that a university wouldn't tell him what it was, he only wanted some relief. He came to me with a broken spirit.

When I hear the stories of adults, teenagers, and children who are trapped in their diseases, without hope, it is heartbreaking. If what you are doing or researching is not working, read on with an open mind to what we have found.

For anyone that works with people that have diseases, it is easy to see personality similarities between people that have various disorders. Yes, diseases and disorders do have emotional origins. This does not mean people are mentally unstable or weak minded. What this means is that people experienced a series of events, whether physical or emotional, that they never felt safe enough to let go of. This could be something earth shattering or something as seemingly simple as an overbearing or non existent parent. Each and every one of our cells has a brain and consciousness of it's own. This is not pseudo new age thinking, it has actually been scientifically proven. The realities in our life, tend to repeat themselves over and over. Let's say you never felt you lived up to your mother's standards. Then as you grew up, you felt that there were many repeating situations where you let people down and did not live up to what you felt they expected of you. Seemingly not very important, but as you suppress those feelings, your body gets the message to stuff anything that is remotely similar down deep in your body. Toxicity is toxicity, whether it is an outright physical poison or it is a toxic emotion. Your body deals with it in all the same way. After so many years of this poison being stuffed to the inner recesses of the body, you find a disorder has manifested in the way of a symptom. But the body is amazing. You never just wake up one day with a symptom and BAM! are diagnosed with a disease, your body let's you know for decades there is a problem, you just ignore the warning signs. Aging, aches and pains, marks on the skin, memory problems, lack of energy, blood sugar, endocrine problems, are all minor annoyances are NOT normal. This is your body signaling to you that something is wrong! The skin, from wrinkles, to redness, to spots tell a story of internal imbalance. These are all warning signs the body is giving you before actual full blown symptoms manifest. Every "healthy" person walking around has a core issue stuffed somewhere in their body. But what makes it manifest in some people and not others?

Next we go on the journey of energy. There are 3 types of energy we have in this life. Our Universal energy (aka God Force energy) is our first energy, the second energy came from our parents the second they conceived us and the last type of energy is what we build up in this life. The first we deplete is our life accumulated energy, then we deplete our parental energy, and lastly, we deplete our universal energy. When that is gone, we die.

Children that receive toxicity from their mother during the pregnancy will have a harder time building a strong life force energy during their life. In the 9 months of growing, they typically will not be building high reserves. When babies are first born, they eat and sleep and that is about it. They are building reserves during this time. As children become older and older, they need less naps. Teenagers tend to need more sleep because they are buring their reserves faster than they are building. If parents were exhausted/fatigued or low on their own reserves of energy when a child was conceived, the child will not have a strong parental reserve energy to fall back on and will typically feel more drained and need more sleep, even as adults. Depression usually settles in to low-energy people as well. You can now understand why children are born with weaknesses and potential for diseases that are (so called) hereditary disorders.

When the body is toxic and the energy is low and people are not actively detoxifying their body, this creates a breeding ground for parasites, viruses, bacteria, microbes, and toxins. Have you ever stopped to think what the role is of parasites, bacteria, viruses, and microbes are in life? They do all have a roll, a very important roll! Their job is to break down what it not healthy. As icky as this may be for some people, it is typically why you see flies and bugs around something that is dying.

That's why you hear that cancer, chronic fatigue, AIDS, Morgellons, Diabetes, and every other disease has an association to bacteria, parasites or viruses. These associated bacteria, viruses, and parasites, are all doing their job to break down what is not healthy in the body.

So where does someone go that is looking for preventive help or help in deal with their associated disorder? Detoxify and Rebuild. Sounds simple, I know. It is not. Detoxifying every organ and every cell and then rebuilding is so far beyond what all over-the-counter or advertised main-stream detoxing will lead you to believe. It is one of the hardest things you will ever do in your life. It will change every cell of your being from physical to emotional to spiritual, IF you are willing to go through the processes. So many people go back to that core emotional issue and shield themselves so much that they will not let themselves advance and they never find any relief. No one starting out on this journey can quite comprehend all of this, or the changes that can take place, until they reach that point in their own journey where they fully are experiencing it. Even if you feel it is too simple, but believe in the principals of detoxification, what have you got to lose by trying it? Read more on our website.

Foot Detox- Scam or Real?

Foot Detox- Scam or Real?

Many people type in the words "Foot Detox Scam" in their favorite search engine. Maybe you are also wondering the very same thing. Are foot detoxes scams?

My approach and view of detoxing is slightly different than many other's. I am skeptical and sometimes saddened about some of the claims being made by people that promote the foot cleansing. I am skeptical because I do not know everything and just about the time that I do think I know everything, I learn something new, but I keep a discerning view until something convinces me otherwise. I feel saddened because there are great therapies available to people that are often cheapened by hype and false information. For the people that are mainstream and look for any reason to prove alternative therapies wrong, the hype gives them a hook to point out the "scam" behind the therapies. I feel it is a disservice that people try to oversell the foot detox by making false claims about its abilities. Some of what people say cannot be proven. Some of the claims are anecdotal and some are pure false advertising. While antidotes are great, they need to be confined to just that, anecdotal. I am a fact person. I like for science to back up therapies when possible. Now, this is not always the case with energy medicine, which I do believe in but that is a whole other category that the foot detox does not fall into. There are limitations to what the foot detox system can and cannot do. The foot detox is not a medical device; it was never intended to be. This is a non-medical non-intrusive machine. The foot detox can help in lightening the toxin load on a body, but let's stick to what the foot detox can do.

Many people take the "seeing is believing" approach to life. I try to explain to people that the color changes in the water do not mean much. I do not subscribe to the belief that red or orange means liver, green means gallbladder, etc. I do not pay much attention to the color, I do pay attention to smells, blood clots, parasites, yeast, acidity, and to how someone feels. The reason I do not hold much value in the the color changes in the water are due to action of the foot detox module. The water that is used has its own impurities that, due to the electrolysis, are drawn towards or separated from other components. Parts of the unit itself is metal and will break down as a result in the electrolysis reaction. The skin can also contain remnants of soap, creams, nail varnish, cleaning supplies, pollutants, bacteria, fungi and fibres. There is also a release of substances from the sebaceous glands and dead cells. Remember, our skin is our largest organ of detox. When it is not properly detoxing, the capillary micro-circulation and other internal influences will be released in the water. Color matters very little in foot detoxing. I have yet to see evidence that the foot detox actually pulls from organs, as is advertised every so often. I will explain the roll of the organs in foot detoxing below.

Now the science behind the foot detoxing theory is amazing and has been around for centuries. The beneficial properties of the galvanic current have long been recognized and used in many healing modalities that date back to the 1800's. The human body is made up of 60%-70% water. There are different types of salts within the body's fluids that are capable of conducting electricity and galvanic current. In fact, our whole body acts like an industrial plant that produces chemical reactions and generates electrical currents, which produce energy. Water is, of course, very fluid and has the ability to alter molecules in the presence of certain solutions and energies, which can also be referred to as 'memory'. Search out Dr Emoto's work on the memory and outside influence on water. Homeopathy and Macrobiotics use this understanding as the core for their therapies. When we place a part of our body into the foot detox water, our body fluids are actually molecularly changing to mimic the current of the footbath water and the current is able to then flow through our bodies. In Reflexology, Chinese, and Japanese Medicine, the hands and feet correspond to every organ in the body. Applying acupuncture needles or electric stimulation to these organ reflex points or meridian points sends a signal to that organ or body system. As acupuncture can stimulate the immune system, tonify, drain and build up energy in the body, organs and meridians, the galvanic current used in the foot detox serves the same purpose. What actually happens is the foot detox restores energy and balance, eases tension and blockages. This then helps the body's organs and systems to function correctly. In other words, the foot detox is another way that the body can recharge it's system and keep it running on high.

I have found that combination therapies provide the best and fastest results. In our wellness center, we offer combination therapies that combine the vibration platform first, the infrared sauna next, and finally the foot detox. Our clients are able to reach their goals much faster. If you would like to come see us, click on the link to go to our website.

Mystery Meat Tour

Mystery Meat Tour

I am officially grossed out. I have had an email sitting in my email box for quite a while from NewsTarget. I had not opened it. Well today I did and clicked on the link.

The link sent me to the NewsTarget website and was featuring what is really inside the popular brand named meats we buy. The caption warned that you should have an empty stomach. Whatever! Things like that do not bother me. I'm a veteran at things being much GROSS, especially what we eat. I have a passion for microscopes and microscopic critters that surround us. I have seen and heard about hotdogs and lunch meat a million times in the path of wellness. I do eat meat but have not eaten processed meats in the last 10 years. But there are times I still dream of cheese, crackers and salami like my childhood days; NOT anymore. I'll admit, by the end of these pictures, I was feeling slightly queasy.

If you have an interest for the perverse or really want to stop eating what is not healthy for you, click on this link and do NOT watch this if you have just eaten. Don't forget to read the captions under the pictures.

How Will YOU Die?

How Will YOU Die?

I ran across this article and wanted to share it because it is very thought provoking reality you should be thinking about. There is a RISE in diseases and illnesses, not a decline. What will another 20 years look like? Where will you be health wise, especially if you are already suffereing from "age related" medical-termed-realities? Whatever your parents have now, will be what you get (plus more) but at an earlier age. It's time to do something about it.

What Will You Die Of? -Roger Mason

We're all going to die like it or not. Even Jesus, Buddha, Krishna, and Mohammed died. We are only on earth for a very short time so let's make the best of it.

What are we going to die of? How can we live longer and not die prematurely? DIET, proven supplements, natural hormones, exercise, and fasting will all help us to live as long as possible. Quality of life is infinitely more important than quantity of life. Quality of life is everything.

What can we expect to die of?

The leading causes of death for Americans according to the National Center for Health Statistics are: Cardiovascular disease is far and away the biggest killer of all. The fact we eat 42% fat calories in our food is the basic reason for this. The most important indicator of CHD health is your total cholesterol (and triglyceride) level. Cancers of all types are the second leading cause of death. Prostate cancer in men and breast cancer in women are the leading cancers. We could almost put an end to cancer with diet and lifestyle changes. Stroke and similar conditions are the third cause. Here the 160 pounds of sugar we hog down every year seem to be a prime cause of brittle brain blood vessels. Emphysema and similar respiratory illnesses are the fourth cause.
Accidents, especially automobile crashes, are the fifth leading cause. Almost 50,000 people a year die in auto accidents alone. Alcohol and drugs play a big part here.
Diabetes is a growing epidemic in America. 1 in 3 American children born today will grow up to be diabetic. The 42% fat in our food, refined grains, and the 160 pounds of sugars we eat every year cause this more than anything.
Pneumonia and influenza (flu) are the seventh. This is due to low immunity basically. Alzheimer's disease was unknown fifty years ago. Now it affects millions of Americans every year. This is not to be confused with common senility. There are causes for this recent epidemic, but we're not yet clear on exactly what they are. Kidney failure such as nephritis and nephrosis is the ninth cause. Dialysis machines and kidney transplants are obviously not the answer here. Our kidneys fail due to abuse from bad diet, alcohol, prescription drugs, coffee, and other factors.
Blood infection or septicemia is the tenth leading cause of death. You hear very little about such a major cause of death. Low immunity again is the basic cause here.
Suicide is supposedly the eleventh cause, but a lot of deaths are not classified as such even though they should be. Suicide actually is more prevalent that the statistics say. When someone has three times the legal blood alcohol level and is driving at 70 miles an hour and crashes, that is not an accident- it is suicide. The main cause of suicide is depression.
Cirrhosis and liver disease (such as fatty liver) is the twelfth cause. Liver transplants are not the answer here. Our liver is the largest organ of the body (after the skin) and processes fats, drugs and chemicals. Better diet and lifestyle would pretty much eliminate all liver disease.
Hypertension or high blood pressure is another epidemic in America. Most of this is due to stress and insulin resistance. This is the thirteenth cause of death but contributes to early death in many other causes.
Homicide is the fourteenth cause, but much higher if you are African and much lower if you are European.
Parkinson's disease is the fifteenth cause of death. Poisoning people with prescription drugs is not the answer to this condition either.

All of these diseases and conditions could be reduced to a small fraction with healthier foods lifestyles.

Every year we eat more meals in fast food restaurants including McDonalds, Hardee's KFC, Wendy's, Pizza Hut and all the rest.

Until we change the way we live our quality of life will just get worse. Doctors, drugs, radiation, surgery and chemotherapy just deal with the symptoms of our problems and not the cause.

DHEA- reduces wrinkles... and life span?

DHEA- reduces wrinkles... and life span?

Okay, I know that was dramatic, but the potiential of using toxic substances day in and day out, without regard to the impact it has on our heath is dramatic.

Below is a paragraph from a book entitled Young Again by John Thomas. What do you really know about anti-aging products? I have questioned the safety of DHEA for years. A look into at the FDA website concerning the safety of cosmetic ingredients, will show you that DHEA is a neurotoxin at best. Putting a neurotoxin around your eyes, where the skin is thin and has more permeability, leaves me uneasy.

"DHEA is one of the magic bullet hormone analogs available over the counter. No one tells the public that there is NO difference between analogous DHEA, anabolic steroids, birth control pills, and estrogen replacements. All of them are VERY dangerous because they lock up the receptor sites in the body and prevent regulatory centers in the brain (hypothalamus, pituitary, and pineal) from keeping the body's hormones balanced and maintaining the body's terrain. Worse, analogs have a forever life and don't break down. Marketing claims of natural DHEA are BOGUS! Crafty chemists, have moved the -R group on the organic molecule so they can patent it. The real stuff can't be patented and anything natural isn't profitable for the industry. Real DHEA is made in the body by the adrenals, and production slows beginning at age 24 followed by other hormones like progesterone and melatonin. Stay away from these popular drugs. They are not safe. Once they attach to your receptor sites, you will become a prisoner of your own body."
