Basically everything it covers is the same things I was taught when learning Reiki. Of course much was clarified that it was not in the 'Reiki teachings" but we were still taught it as a 'whole package" kind of thing. My teachers thought that all the same information was imperative to healing, and learning to heal. I have been doing research on this method and am frankly a bit confused.

At least then I can research all the possibiities and see which one fits more. Or something like that..lol. I had been given so many different "lables" back in my "pre-diagnosed" days of lupus. Remember when my leg was paralyzed and you so lovingly gave me a new nickname (gimpy)? You wouldn't believe all the things they told me I had then! That is the kind of answer I like to get.

How do you REALLY feel about your doctors?? :) I can think of a few times that my own doc has said something that made me suspect that he was saying that just to cover his ass. It seems to me (and I could be wrong) that there are many doctors who will lean to the most negative side of a diagnosis in order to make sure they've forewarned their patient just in case. The doctor I have now (not that I really have a primary care physician, so I should clarify that by saying: "the last doctor I saw") will at least say, "I have no idea what the problem is," rather than put any sort of label on it. So now I get the... it could be this or that or the other" kind of answers. Wait... is that even an ANSWER??? So. How do you REALLY feel about your doctors?? :)

As someone who has been dealing with Lupus for 30+ years and has had a lot of time to investigate and contemplate all the possibilities I have often wondered if this "overactive" immune system of mine is just doing it's job. Afterall my immune system has attacked all my connective tissue, organs, etc., and isn't that just where all the toxins are stored? And as a side note: I think the only reason that I have been alive this long is because I haven't paid homage to the Pharmaceutical Companies I wholeheartedly agree with this statement …“Look for the root, it is in the basics beginning with what is on your fork, what toxins are in your body, what exercise do you do, what stress is in your life, what is your spiritual base”.

The jist of it was that this preacher heard about a position coming up in his church and it meant a huge bump in pay. So he prays every night for it. He tells God that he really needs this position, and he has been a good and positive influence to the congregation, as well as a good role model. Pays all his tithes, donates to chaities, does charity work...etc., so he know he deserves it. Finally the day comes when they tell who got the position, and it wasn't him. So then he says to God, "why not me?! You know I deserved it! I have been praying for weeks and You just ignored me!" To which God replies, "Well it would have helped if you had at least put in an application!" This reminded me of a joke I once herad.

Especially broccoli, for whatever reason. Instead of that beautiful dark green color it becomes a brownish green color. Maybe because they've boiled it to death.

Cooking vegetables is not hard if you steam them rather than soak away all the nutritients...overcooking is more the problem! The goal should be use the lowest amount of a medication to get the max benefit combined with dietary modification, such as avoiding raw versions of the above foods. The weight issue has a lot to do with the processing of food for shelf life stabilization and distribution. It's not an easy situation to solve as cost leads to overprocessed food choices, but in effect, we are starving our bodies of nutrients.

Interesting you have listed just the produce that a sufferer would want to eat and juice the help them cure HT. The thyroid may temporarily cleanse eating/juicing these foods raw but that is the idea if you want to get to the root of the thyroid problem Using them in small doses might be a better way to use them to rid yourself of the toxins slowly so the cleansing does not come on so strong. Cooking vegetables is also part of the problem as it destroys just what your body is looking for. You have to choose a direction, go with drugs for the rest of your life or go with nature as God intended and cure your disease. But choosing has become so difficult because the natural practitioners and their voice have been restricted so strongly in the United States despite freedom of speech and choice. Look around you it is obvious that we are in trouble we are the fattest country in the world now, 70% of us; that is a food problem.

However, I also believe that we are slowly, but surely, moving in the right direction. On a national scale, insurers are steadily broadening the types of alternative therapies that receive coverage… as well they should, if we want to drive down the cost of health care. It’s long amazed me how insurance companies have no problem shelling out millions/billions of dollars to cover things like back surgery, yet won’t cover Chiropractic care. It’s good to see that more insurers ARE now covering Chiropractic, Acupuncture, and Massage Therapy. Hopefully, as we move toward health care reform, other therapies will be included as well.
