When we have symptoms, they may be “common” but they are not “normal”. There’s truly no such thing as “normal”. We are all individuals with unique responses to life and require unique needs. To have a symptom, a set of symptoms is more common than ever. Migraines, digestive issues, skin issues, sleep issues, weight concerns, hormonal problems, blood sugar issues, etc are very common but far from normal. Don’t settle. You deserve more.
Be well,
Lynn

No Comments » January 9th, 2015 Lynn Many of you have asked how I’m feeling since I’m eating meat again. Here’s my update: I’ve been eating free-range chicken, grass-fed beef, new zealand lamb and even no nitrate/nitrite/MSG bacon in addition to my normal staples. Meat isn’t by any means my main staple as I eat it at one meal, probably 4 to 5 days per week.
Interestingly I was recently at a family style dinner in a remote location, with a pre-fixed menu. I had two options: beer battered cod and shrimp or lamb. Looking at the options I knew that if I’m sticking to my guns about “eating real food” lamb was the more viable option. I did eat a small amount of the beer battered cod since it was offered specifically to me, but I finished with a lamb chop, knowing that it was the more nutritious offering.
I’ve been through two menstrual cycles and this most recent cycle was my greatest surprise. I have always been forewarned (with minimally a light pain) when I would begin to menstruate. However, in this past cycle I discovered that my body had begun without any warning whatsoever. This is for the first time in my life (or as long as I can remember)!
As our female bodies begin peri-menopause (10 years prior to ending menstruation) our hormonal balances shift. At the start of the decade low estrogen begins which can create an imbalance in ratio with progesterone. Excess progesterone can lead to more bleeding and additional requirements for nutrients (iron, b-vitamins, amino acids). Since I’ve not experienced any pain and yet an improvement in a symptom I’m feeling that introducing meat is the right decision and may in fact be addressing nutritional deficiencies that I was not aware of.
Dairy remains omitted from my diet. Since mainstream dairy has dozens of hormones (estrogen is predominant and dangerous) it is looking more suspicious as the culprit behind 16 years of my pain. But I will report back in another 30 days.
(Side note: a great article from the Harvard News Office about hormones in milk http://news.harvard.edu/gazette/2006/12.07/11-dairy.html)

January 8th, 2015 Lynn The Center for Disease Control (CDC) has recently announced that this past year’s flu vaccine was not effective. 2 of the 3 strains that were injected into those that elected to get vaccinated have mutated and thus are void. Interestingly, the CDC is now urging individuals to get to the doctor’s office asap early on in the contamination to purchase two additional drugs that are antiviral and can potentially lessen the impact ofthe flu.
To begin with the CDC reports that of all actual sickness that occurs in the winter months, only 10% of individuals would test positive for one of the flu strains. The remaining 90% of the individuals would have contracted another virus or bacterial infection. The CDC prior to this recent announcement has stated that the success of the flu vaccine (when all 3 strains become present) is 56%- a coin flip.
If that’s enough to question whether the flu vaccine should be considered or not, NaturalNews.com conducted its own laboratory research in the beginning of 2014 and discovered that flu vaccines contained a mercury rate 25,000 times higher than the EPA permits in drinking water and 100 times more mercury than found in large oceanic fish. Remember that the flu vaccine is injected into the blood stream, not consumed through the digestive/detoxification process that can help eliminate the waste.

It’s time to look at how we can boost and strengthen our immune systems in a process that our body recognizes and will respond to. The digestive process, the foods we eat, how our liver performs and exploring nutritional deficiencies can not only prevent the flu but boost your body’s overall performance. It’s working from the inside out.
I figured I’d start off the New Year’s post with a bang! With lots more your way…
Be well,
Lynn
