why just medicate when you can heal disease at its root!

I recently attended a birthday party where two of the guests were teenage sisters on wheat-free diets. These young ladies had been told by their doctor that they were wheat-intolerent, and in addition to needing to stay away from all wheat products, they were on medication to help with the problem.

Now, I know enough about wheat allergies, gluton intolerace and celliac disease to know that they stem from an overgrowth of Candida yeast and a resulting overloaded and underactive (suppressed) digestive tract. And while wheat can be extremely irritating, it is not the cause of the problem. (I'd have said something but we were at a family gathering and my opinions are not valued there, so I chose to keep my thoughts to myself).

Still, I couldn't help but observe what the girls who were so conciencious about not eating wheat, chose to eat. They ate large helpings of meat with sweet barbeque sauce on it. A veggie dish loaded with melted cheese. Desert. And 2 and 3 sodas respectively!!

If you don't know much about Candida and what feeds it this might not alarm you. But if you have an understanding of Candida and how it affects the body, you know that yeast thrives on sugar, dairy, and soft drinks. And these foods make all of the symptoms it causes (such as wheat intolerance and so forth) worse!

So, here is my irritation with the medical world. And I know what I'm talking about because I've suffered from an overgrowth of Candida yeast my entire life. For the first thirty six years it was like this. . . I'd eat "normal" foods including a lot of bread, cheese, and sweets (that's what I grew up on and liked :) and then I'd get a fungal infection under my nails, and/or a painful bladder infection, and/or a case of itchly vaginal yeast. Then I'd go to the doctor who'd write out prescriptions for antibiotics and/or cortizone cream. I'd take the meds, and for a while the conditions would clear up.

And then, the same old problems would always return with a vengence a couple of weeks or months down the road.

Never once did the doctor explain to me that my diet might be causing the problem. Nor did he seem concerned that I was taking antibiotics on a regular basis. He just wrote me prescription after prescription. (Is it possible that he didn't know about Candida yeast, and that antibiotics actually make it much worse?)

My main problem with doctors who merely prescribe medicine for everything, is that is MEDICINE CANNOT FIX HEALTH PROBLEMS! It can only suppress them.

Not to mention the fact that medical professionals routinely poison continuous connective tissue (tissue that's connected to everything else in the body) as a form of treatment, or perform surgery to cut it out, rather than support it by giving it what it needs to cleanse and self-heal, which is another story for another blog. . .

Thankfully I now know a lot about yeast. And so I make it a point to drink plenty of pure water and eat lots of alkaline foods like raw greens, and avoid dairy, refined grains and sugars, and soda pop etc. I also take digestive enzymes and probiotics and other supplements on a regular basis to help keep my system balanced.

As a result, I'm never bothered with fungal or yeast infections anymore, and the only time I get bladder infections is when I'm dehydrated or have eaten too many acidic foods. When I do feel poorly I simply drink a lot more water and take herbs and essential oils etc. (including a melaleuca, oregano, lemon and cinnamon combo which kill yeast, and uva ursi which cleans and nourishes the bladder and kidneys) and I'm able to quickly get my body back in a feel-good mode.

If you are experiencing health problems it is simply an indication that something is out of balance. You are either toxic or undernourished, or both. And what your body needs is most likely not medicine or surgery but cleansing, and good nutritional supplements and a diet overhaul. If you are wheat or gluton intollerant it would do you a world of good to go on a yeast-free diet (or a raw food diet) for awhile, and give your gut a break so it can heal.

Did you know that most people who go on raw food/juice (yeast-free) diets are able to quickly reverse and heal diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, kidney disease, and even cancer, as long as they're not too advanced?

It's a "scientifically proven" fact that Candida yeast is behind virtually all health problems, including chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, all digestive diseases, all autoimmune diseases, and cancer. Rather than wait for symptoms to show up and then go to the doctor for treatment, it makes sense to take action now and rid your body of yeast (treat disease at it's root) and change your diet and overall lifestyle so you can keep yeast away for good!

TO KEEP YEAST AWAY, AVOID:
Medicines (drugs), sugar, dairy products, processed and refined foods (all junk food), fast food, processed juices, soft drinks, energy drinks, alcohol, coffee, tobacco, etc.

YOU CAN EAT:
Raw or lightly steamed veggetables, especially greens (avoid starchy veggies)
Some fruits - apples, berries, grapefruits, lemons (other fruits are too sugary)
Lean proteins - antibiotic- and hormone- free meats and eggs
Small amounts of whole grains, brown rice, beans and legumes - preferably sprouted (once yeast is gone)
Raw nuts and seeds (raw nut butters) in limited amounts
Unsweetened organic coconut, rice and oat milk
Goat-milk feta cheese
Good-quality plain yogurt (like Stoneyfield Farm, Brown Cow)
Vegan mayonaise (Vegenaise)
Avage nectar, Stevia, and xylitol (don't overdo it)
Herbs and spices!
Bragg amino acids

autoship redemption!

I am a doTERRA wholesale business partner, and as such, I have been placing $150.00 orders on four separate doTERRA autoships every month for the past two years- and consistently using doTERRA essential oils and other awesome wellness products- no wonder I feel SO GOOD. (My mom, daughter and friend stopped buying product so they let me order on their accounts :) This means at the end of the first year I got $240.00 in free oils, per autoship. Then, because I continued to purchase at least $100.00 worth of oils etc. each month, I qualified for 30% back in free product points. (By purchasing $150.00 PV each month, we all qualified for our "power of 3" bonuses :)

So today, for the second time (I cashed in last year too), I redeemed my points on three of the autoships. And here is what I got. For FREE!

Purchasing doTERRA products through a monthly autoship is a no-brainer. The oils were so heavy that they tore the bag :) Here's an itemized list of what I got:

2 Family Physician Kits

3 Clear Skin (new oil blend)

1 Deep Blue roll-on

1 Deep Blue (5 oz)

1 Past Tense

2 Melissa (new oil)

1 Helichrysm

2 Frankincense

1 Oregano

2 Birch

2 Peppermint

3 Patchouli

3 Bergamot

3 Lemon

4 Lime (new oil - yum!)

1 Citrus Bliss

------------------- And the retail price without tax. . .

$1,566.27

(FREE for me :)

Notice that I got 2 Family Physician Kits (10 oils each- including frankincense and Deep Blue :), plus 2 Melissas' (115.00 each, wholesale), 1 Helichrysm ($75,00 wholesale), 2 Deep Blue ($32.00 and $64.00, wholesale) and 2 Frankincense ($70.00 each, wholesale). These are all quite expensive oils. But they have amazing healing properties and you only need to use a drop so they're well-worth the price.

Sometimes people ask me how I can afford to buy oils and supplements etc. each month, and I say, "with doTERRA, I can't afford not to!!"

Not only does their awesome product line keep me and my family well and doctor-free, but doTERRA also gives me a very generous pay-back for buying and using their oils and supplements and such!

And just think, I still have over $300.00 worth of unused rewards points left on my forth autoship. . .

Not to mention the fact that lots of other people LOVE doTERRA as much as I do, and quite a few are on my team, so each month I earn enough in monthly commisions to MORE than pay for my autoships in the first place. No wonder I get more excited about doTERRA as time goes on!

Show me another company that's so generous. . . THANKS doTERRA.
