Living with Tourette’s Syndrome with Johnny Bahar
MATURE AUDIENCE-Due to involuntary cursing today’s show is Mature Audience only
“Johnny is an amazing person! I was so honored to be able to interview him. His book “The Other Me” touched me to my soul. Johnny never gave up and still today is out there trying to help others understand more about Tourette’s Syndrome. I highly recommended Johnny’s book “The Other Me” for anyone who wants to learn more about Tourette’s Syndrome. The strength this man shows everyday; how he didn’t let anything stand in his way plus his great sense of humor is truly inspiring”-Rebbbekah White
Born in Afghanistan, exiled to Pakistan by the invading Russian army, Johnny Bahar and his family eventually moved to India and from there to America.

The Other Me-Johnny Bahar
In his book “The Other Me“, Johnny tells the fascinating story of his life and of his struggles with Tourette’s syndrome. The involuntary tics and twitches and cursing caused by Tourettes made Johnny, for many years, the butt of bullies and social outcast. Misunderstood, feared and harassed by even ordinary people, as well as transformed into a Dracula-like figure by the terrible medicine he was told to take, he spent most of his youth getting expelled from school and hiding out in his bedroom.
Many times, in fits of despair, he attempted to take his own life. But with the constant support of his family, with the special love of a woman who would become his wife, and with his own remarkable blend of determination, courage, humor and faith, Johnny slowly emerged from self-imposed exile to began to live a more “normal” life. He is now the father to three beautiful daughters.
His central message to his readers is to respect and have compassion for every person, whatever his or her appearance, background or limitations. This is one of the funniest and most disturbing books you will ever read. It is essential reading for anyone who wants to learn about the trials and triumphs of living a life with Tourette’s.
To purchase “The Other Me” go to Amazon.com or contact Johnny Bahar for a personalized autographed copied.
For more information you can visit Johnny’s new site “I Have Tourette’s Radio“. Johnny will soon be launching a new radio show dedicated to sharing with the world information about Tourette’s to better help people understand the syndrome.

With Alyson Mead-WAKE UP TO YOUR WEIGHT LOSS is anything but an ordinary diet book. In fact, it has very little to do with counting calories, and nothing to do with the self-hatred too often found in books about weight issues.
WAKE UP TO YOUR WEIGHT LOSS is anything but an ordinary diet book. In fact, it has very little to do with counting calories, and nothing to do with the self-hatred too often found in books about weight issues. The author picks up where she left off with her first book, WAKE UP TO YOUR STORIES. Using meditation, follow up exercises and development of a personal storytelling practice, the author helps readers see where weight comes from, what it means, and how to start achieving the best body for them, by quieting the mind and curbing the reactivity that makes us eat.
Alyson is also an entrepreneur, and we have worked with her to release the Write It Off Club, an ongoing weight loss coaching community, which can be found at http://www.writeitoffclub.com. It is very motivational in tone, and uses positive reinforcement to help people change their minds and bodies together. Her work is entirely original and forward thinking.
LIVE Address for Health Care Reform with President Barack Obama
One of the biggest concerns that is facing our nation is the “new” health care reform that President Obama is trying to enact for all Americans. Many Americans are facing each day a decision we should not have to make:
- Am I having a heart attack, should I go to the emergency room, the doctor?
- How will I pay for an emergency room visit? The ambulance? The doctor’s bills?
- Is my child’s arm really broke? What if it turns out to be just sprained then I will have a hospital bill I cannot pay?
- Should I go to the doctor?
- How will I pay for my medications?
- I don’t have insurance, how am I going to pay for this?
- My insurance company is refusing to pay for a hospital visit even though we followed their instructions? NOW what?
My family is one of the 46 million who do not have health insurance and when we did we might as well not have had insurance at all. But I digress my “story” is only 1 in millions of other Americans who are facing the same problems.
There are so many questions that come to mind when I hear news reports about Health Care Reform.
- Should the government step in?
- Will the health care reform really help those of us who need health care and insurance?
- What will it cost?
- Will this be another plan that will only adds to the debt our children are inheriting?
I do encourage each of you to do your own research, share the facts, and tell your senators and congressman what you think.
50% of 1,001 Americans in a recent poll disapproves of what is happening right now with health care. READ BELOW.
The latest ABC News-Washington Post poll of 1,001 U.S. adults found that 50 percent of the country now disapproves of the job President Obama is doing on healthcare, up 6 points from 44 percent who felt that way in July. And a minority, 49 percent, think he will be able to “make significant improvements” in the U.S. healthcare system.
Many people now believe, based on the results of the poll, that it may in fact be better to do nothing at all. A whopping 80 percent of those surveyed said the quality of their healthcare would, at best, stay the same or get worse if the healthcare system is changed.

Listen below to President Barack Obama as he talks about Health Care Reform
President Barack Obama’s 15 minutes LIVE address on the 40 Minutes For Health Reform .
- What are your thoughts?
- Do you agree with a nationalized Health Care Reform?
- What drawbacks do you see from the government stepping in?
- What benefits do you see from the government stepping in?
Please KEEP IN MIND that I will not allow defaming of any sort, foul language, or anti-government protests in the comments section HOWEVER I do want to hear your thoughts just please keep them clean.

So I was excited when I heard she had created a drink that helps protect your immune system, gives you the Vitamin D you need plus helps Anti-Aging!
I cannot be out in the sun for very long due to a condition which makes me burn easily and makes me very ill, nauseous etc. I have to stay in the shade when I am outside, where the highest level of skin protection or go outside in the early or late day. So I was very excited to hear that I can get the dose of Vitamin D I need in a delicious drink. I love pink lemonade! Before Sip of Sunshine I loved to drink Crystal Light, because I could take the powder with me anywhere I went HOWEVER it Crystal Light doesn’t have any health benefits.

Quote from Suzanne Sommers:
After interviewing hundreds of anti-aging doctors and health experts, they all agree upon the importance of anti-oxidants to enhance our immune system and stave off age related illnesses; with vitamin D at the top of the list. While we can absorb vitamin D from sun exposure, most of us do not get our 15 minute daily dose, or are not willing to risk damage from UV rays. Studies have shown people who live in the northern or southern parts of the globe have higher rates of cancer, due to lack of vitamin D.With SUZANNE Essentials, Sip of SunshineTM, now you can get your daily vitamin D in a delicious pink lemonade drink, sweetened with All Natural SomerSweet. The powerful anti-oxidants in Sip of SunshineTM strengthen your immune system and fight cancer-causing free radicals. Plus, with an extra boost of GliSODin, it’s clinically proven to support cardiovascular health! Did I mention how delicious it tastes?

Filed under Alternative Healing, New Shows
I will be the first to tell you that when John Lucas first contacted me about what he could do I was skeptical, I have an open mind however it seemed to me that it would be impossible to change things I was going through both physically and mentally just by a telephone call and by John “deleting frequencies” that he felt from talking to me.
On the day we were talking by phone I had a horrible migraine, I don’t get them that often but when I do it is almost impossible to think, work or basically do anything! I have to admit I wanted to test John to see if what he could do what he said he could do! Boy am I red faced now!
Literally in minutes my migraine was GONE! I had been suffering from a migraine for 3 days, I had tried everything! Drinking lavendar and chamomile tea. Everything holistic I could think of till I got so desperate I took some migraine medicines the night before and was zonked out immediately! I hate taking medications because I have allergies to most medications so rarely do I not have a side effect.
John and I talked another time right before our interview and I was dealing with some very negative thoughts that were hampering me from moving forward, thoughts that no matter how many affirmations I said, no matter what tools I used to change my thinking they didn’t help, I was battling with the harsh negative thinking. John dealt with those frequencies and I am here to tell you he knows what he is doing! He helped not only myself but my husband as well!
So enough about what I experienced on to the interview:
After 30 years in the so-called Wholistic or Natural Health Field John Lucas has developed an ability and a system using the laws of physics, intention and non-contact muscle testing to access anyone or groups of people anywhere in the world and delete the frequency or energy cause of any problem they may have whether physical, mental or emotional. This includes and is not limited to virus, bacterial infections, fibromyalgia, post traumatic stress syndrome, pain of injuries, migraines, etc. The results are generally instant and immediately verified by the person being treated. Eliminating these frequency/energy causes on “call-ins” to a radio program and speaking about the depths of this work make for an interview and program that people never forget, especially when days-weeks- or years of suffering disappear in seconds. Since we are deleting only frequency causes no medical type of claims are made nor do they need to be.

I don’t receive any compensation for referring people to John, I just know what he is able to do and know that he can help those who truly are searching for help!

Losing weight with Chocolate? It is possible with Tru Chocolate

Filed under Losing Weight
I love chocolate! In fact I am a “Chocoholic”! There are days I dream of chocolate! I used to drool at the checkout counters! The temptation to grab that delicious candy bar was some days too hard to resist, I would give in and then feel guilty afterwards for ruining my hard work of eating right.
That was till I found Tru Chocolate! Back in April of 2009 I went to Boston to participate in the Health Fair and met Paul Pappetti! That day changed my life and my fight to eat right yet still have my chocolate!
Still to this day I cannot believe that I can have my chocolate and still be able to watch my weight, enjoy the health benefits that come from eating dark, delicious chocolate! The most wonderful thing when you eat a piece of Tru Chocolate is after wards when you go to drink a glass of water, the water tastes just like chocolate! You know you need to have at least 8 glasses of water a day, yet drinking plain ole water can get let’s face it BORING! However when you eat a wafer of Tru Chocolate and then drink your water, that water is gone in an instant because it tastes so good you can’t stop drinking it.
Plus Tru Chocolate is GOOD FOR YOU! It is not made from the by products of the cocoa bean but from Organic Cocoa Liquor! At the end of this page I will list to you all the wonderful ingredients!
Tru Chocolate™ may be the most healthy and tasty chocolate ever created. This delicious treat is ideal for the entire family; it’s a snack that can be enjoyed by everyone at any time. The benefits of eating Tru Chocolate are so tremendous that many call it, “Guilt Free Chocolate”. It tastes so good and is so good for you that it is beyond the normal chocolate experience.

Tru Chocolate
What can Tru Chocolate do for you and your health? Many of my past listeners may remember me saying that both myself and my business partner Buffy Lauer are now promoting and using Youngevity products.

Organic Cocoa Liquor: It’s produced by grinding the cocoa bean nib (center) to a smooth, liquid state. The Cocoa liqueur can then be cooled and molded into blocks.
Organic Cocoa Butter: Also called the obroma oil, is the edible natural fat of the cacao bean, extracted during the process of making chocolate and cocoa powder.
Xylitol: Xylitol is a white crystalline substance that looks and tastes like sugar. It is a popular sweetener for the diabetic diet. Xylitol is right here, inside, already. Our bodies produce up to 15grams of xylitol from other food sources using established energy pathways. Xylitol is not a strange or artificial substance, but a normal part of everyday metabolism.
Proprietary Herbal Formula containing:
Momordica Charantia: This herb grows all over the tropical zones of the world and has been used for centuries to combat various human ailments but to date has not been very effectively marketed. In a controlled study, individuals with blood sugar levels above 140 mg/dl had the most significant reductions in blood sugar levels, ranging from 28.40% to 37.69%.
Noni Fruit: The fruit of the Morinda Citrifolia, or noni, was an important food source for the early French Polynesians. These early settlers wasted none of this highly valued plant and used it for nearly every medicinal purpose you can imagine. It was treasured by these early cultures for its healing properties and nutritional value. Picked ripe and flash frozen. Hawaii and Japan used the fruit to contain fever outbreaks, the Philippines used Noni to treat arthritis, and the Malaysians heated the leaves to relieve nausea, coughs, and colic. Noni nearly unknown in the western world until 1996,is now being used worldwide because of its great health benefits.
Citrus Extract: A sweetener from botanical extract derived from the seeds, pulp, and inner rinds of certified organically grown citrus extracts do not contain wheat, rye, oats, corn, barley, gluten, starch, soy, egg, dairy, yeast, sulfates, chlorides, wax, preservatives, colorings, or artificial flavorings.
Ellagic Acid:
Supports and Promotes:
- Immune System Function
- Promotes Healthy Cell Production
- Promotes Healthy Cell Function
Noteworthy Facts:
- Ellagic Acid is in the Phenol Family and is Naturally found in healthy berries, and fruits
- Ellagic Acid is being studied more today than ever before and may hold tremendous promise in the Health and Wellness Field.
Green Tea Extract: In a study reported on in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, it was found that green tea extract resulted in a significant increase in energy expenditure (a measure of metabolism), plus also had a significant effect on fat oxidation. While some of the effects were originally theorized to be due to the caffeine content of green tea, the researchers discovered that the tea actually has properties that go beyond those that would be explained by the caffeine. The same amount of caffeine as was in the green tea, administered alone, failed to change energy expenditure in other studies. This led researchers to believe that there is some interaction going on with the active ingredients of green tea that promotes increased metabolism and fat oxidation. The researchers indicated that their findings have substantial implications for weight control. A 4% overall increase in 24-hour energy expenditure was attributed to the green tea extract, however, the research found that the extra expenditure took place during the daytime. This led them to conclude that, since thermo-genesis (the body’s own rate of burning calories) contributes 8-10% of daily energy expenditure in a typical subject, that this 4% overall increase in energy expenditure due to the green tea actually translated to a 35-43% increase in daytime thermo genesis.
Fabanol® Studies have shown Fabanol® to block sugar absorption.
Bioprene® A standardized extract from the fruit of Piper nigrum L (black pepper) or Piper longum L (long pepper). It contains 95 percent of piperine. Bioperine® may be co-administered with various nutrients for both human and animal health. Piperine, in the patented form of Bioperine®, enhances the body’s natural thermogenic activity. This enhancement may be explained as a means of increasing the thermal energy sufficient to “power up” the mechanism related to thermo genesis. This in turn results in increased metabolic processes that creates a “demand” for” supply” of a broad range of nutrients that contribute to metabolism, i.e. vitamins, minerals, herbals, amino acids, etc. It is as if Bioperine® activates a metabolic paddle wheel, of sorts, that selectively provides a more efficient mode of nutrient transportation into the blood.
Lectin: is a fat like substance called a phospholipid. It is produced daily by the liver if the diet is adequate. It is needed by every cell in the body and is a key building block of cell membranes; without it, they would harden.
Organic Lecithin: Protects cells from oxidation and largely comprises the protective sheaths surrounding the brain. It is composed mostly of B vitamins, phosphoric acid, choline, linoleic acid and inositol. Although it is a fatty substance, it is also a fat emulsifier. Hence, it supports the circulatory system. Its choline is useful for making acetylcholin.
The “magic” chocolate taste comes from three special ingredients:
1. Xylitol, a natural sweetener, helps create the long-lasting chocolate taste.
2. The Bioperine®, a patented phytonutrient and natural thermonutrient, is a derivative of black pepper and enhances the perception of taste.
3. The Fabenol®, a derivative of lentils, helps increase the sensation of sweetness. It is also a natural carbohydrate blocker!What are you waiting for! Start enjoying your chocolate again!

by Raymond Francis
Very few people know what they should be doing to improve their health. This is why the health of the American people is in a long-term downtrend, and why we are experiencing a pandemic of chronic and degenerative disease. One of these diseases is cancer—perhaps the most feared word in the English language. Cancer used to be a rare disease, but we have managed to make it commonplace—half of all Americans will get cancer in their lifetime. Fortunately, it doesn’t have to be this way. An anti-cancer diet will prevent and even reverse most cancer.
Since we have created this epidemic, we can un-create it. The most important thing anyone can do to prevent and reverse cancer is to eat a good diet. Unfortunately, few people know what a good diet is. A quick trip to a bookstore will quickly reveal so many books on nutrition that the simple act of eating can become bewildering. Some people have anxiety attacks trying to decide what to eat. Meanwhile, the science and the human history are there; we know what a good diet is. All we have to do is teach it. One problem in getting this knowledge to you is that the folks who sell you the bad diet really don’t want you to know what a good diet is or how bad your present diet is. They try to obscure the truth. They are succeeding!
To beat cancer, you have to first get off your bad cancer- causing diet and then get on a good anti-cancer diet. In Never Be Sick Again and Never Be Fat Again, I identified what I called the Big Four. These four “foods” are responsible for most of the disease in our society, including cancer. They are: sugar, white flour, processed oils and dairy/excess animal protein. To prevent and reverse cancer, getting off the Big Four is mandatory. They are the foundation of a bad diet, and they support the initiation, growth and metastasis of cancer. A good way to get off the Big Four is to get off all processed foods.
Eating sugar is an excellent choice—if you want cancer. Sugar is a deadly metabolic poison; it promotes cancer in many ways. Studies have shown that those who consume the highest amount of sugar have the highest cancer risk. Eating sugar produces a flood of inflammatory free radicals that damage DNA, turning healthy cells into cancer cells. Sugar depresses immunity and a strong immune system protects against cancer. Sugar makes the body acidic, and cancer thrives in an acid environment. By different mechanisms, sugar deprives cells of needed oxygen and oxygen-deprived cells become cancerous. Sugar disrupts hormone balance, producing too much estrogen and excess estrogen drives breast and prostate cancer. Lastly, sugar feeds cancer cells, and the more sugar you eat the faster your cancer will grow. White flour is similar to sugar because the body quickly metabolizes it into sugar.
The processed oils that make up most of the average American diet are toxic to your body. These include all hydrogenated oils plus canola, cottonseed, corn, peanut, sunflower, safflower and soybean oils. These common oils contain excessive omega-6 fatty acids, which promote inflammation. Studies show that decreasing the amount of omega-6s stops the growth of tumors. Conversely, increasing omega-6s will “rescue” dying tumors and bring them back to life. Processed oils also damage the integrity of cell membranes, causing cellular malfunction. Anti-cancer oils include olive, coconut, flax and fish oils.
Dairy and excess animal proteins promote cancer. Animal protein, in excess of the amount needed for growth, promotes cancer. Americans eat about ten times too much animal protein—far too much. Excess animal protein turns cancer on 100 percent of the time in test animals. Cancer can be turned on or off simply by changing the level of animal protein in the diet.
One of the most powerful cancer promoters is dairy protein. Casein, a protein in cow’s milk, is an exceptionally powerful cancer promoter. Consuming milk is both unnatural and unhealthy. Nowhere in nature does one species regularly drink the milk of another, and nowhere does an animal drink milk after weaning. Only humans are crazy enough to do these things, and we suffer the consequences—heart disease, osteoporosis, diabetes, infections, arthritis, allergies and cancer. Modern milk is an especially toxic soup loaded with undesirable hormones, antibiotics, pesticides, herbicides, PCBs, dioxins, viruses, pus, solvents and excessive bacteria. Almost all milk is pasteurized. This process changes the chemical and physical properties of the milk, making it less nutritious and toxic.
The facts are these: High-animal-protein diets promote cancer, and low-animal protein diets dramatically inhibit cancer. At least ninety percent of our protein should be derived from plant foods such as whole grains, legumes, lentils, seeds, nuts and sprouts.
Cutting bad foods out of your life is one step; putting good foods in is another. A diet consisting primarily of fresh plant foods is an anti-cancer diet. Consuming an anti-cancer diet is not just a luxury, it is a necessity. It’s bad out there! After accidents, cancer is the leading cause of death for children. Almost every American over the age of 50 has cancer, with small clusters of cancer cells throughout their bodies—just waiting to grow. It is imperative that this cancer be prevented from growing and metastasizing. The good news is this:We know how to do it!
There are well-known mechanisms for interfering with tumor growth and inducing apoptosis (cancer cell death). The biochemistry of cancer is extremely complex, requiring the successful navigation of numerous biochemical pathways to make it happen. Each of these steps in the process can be interfered with. Existing clusters of cancer cells can be kept small and harmless. For those who already have diagnosable cancer, cancer cells can be restored back to normal and the cancer will simply disappear—surgery, chemotherapy and radiation not required. In fact, standard cancer treatments damage the body, making survival less likely.
What is required is a diet rich in fresh fruits and vegetables. Plant foods have all the chemicals necessary to interfere with the cancer process at every level. Unfortunately, only one out of ten Americans is meeting the current USDA guidelines for consumption of fruits and vegetables. In fact, one way to look on cancer is as a vegetable-deficiency disease. Supplements are also extremely helpful in preventing and reversing cancer.
Many fruits and vegetables contain carotenes. Animal experiments and human experience have shown that high amounts of dietary carotene will stop cancer from growing. The same holds true for vitamin A. Omega-3 fatty acids suppress cancer. Plant flavonoids, including quercitin, interfere with the effects of estrogen in stimulating breast and prostate cancer. In fact, plant flavonoids will act to prevent cells from becoming cancerous, even when exposed to powerful carcinogens. In addition, they inhibit the growth of cancer cells and stimulate cancer-cell death. Olive oil helps to protect DNA from oxidative damage, which can make a cell turn cancerous. Both green and black teas inhibit DNA damage, and can prevent cancer cells from dividing, thus inhibiting cancer growth. Herbs such as silymarin and ginkgo biloba also contain powerful anti-cancer compounds. Numerous plant chemicals are known to inhibit and down-regulate cancer growth mechanisms.
As you can see from the above, the right foods are highly protective against cancer and even curative. A diet high in fresh, organic fruits and vegetables and high in omega-3 fatty acids is what you want. The critical nutrients in plant foods can be made even more bioavailable by juicing or blenderizing so as to break up their cells and release more of their goodness. Eighty percent of your diet should consist of raw fruits and vegetables. Non-gluten grains such as buckwheat, millet, brown rice, quinoa and amaranth are healthy in moderation. Legumes and lentils are good sources of plant protein. Occasional small portions of high-quality fish and organic eggs can be added to this nutritious diet.
All real food is good, but certain plant foods are even more protective than others. These include cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, and kale.

Just because the doctor doesn’t have an answer doesn’t mean there isn’t an answer!
There is always hope!
Once you’ve tried complementary and alternative therapies you won’t want to go back to drugs and surgery!
Most mainstream medical doctors believe in the old adage that “you can’t unbreak the mirror” so they try to glue your health back together with drugs. Holistic and natural therapy practitioners want to treat the real source of the problem and deal with all facets - mind, body and spirit. This complete approach to health care can produce dramatic results, often after doctors has declared there is nothing that can be done.
This is the complete guide to different types of alternative medical concepts, different processes and techniques and a variety of healing devices.
- Discover everything from Acupuncture to Zen Bodytherapy.
- Learn about devices from Edgar Cayce’s Radiac to the newest cold laser technology.
- Hear from real people who’ve experienced these therapies and products.
- Find out how to maximize your wellness and prevent illness.
UnBreak Your HealthTM offers proven healing techniques from 5,000 years ago to the most modern innovations. With over 300 listings in 136 categories this is the most complete book ever published on complementary and alternative therapies. There is only one short paragraph on diets and supplements however since there are so many books already published on the subject. This new book focuses on therapies, systems and devices.
I interviewed author Alan Smith on Wednesday June 24, 2009.
Alan Smith was at a tough spot in his life, he was in the Mayo clinic and told by his doctor there was NOTHING he could do to help Alan get better. There comes a time in everyone’s life that something spurs us into action, this was the time for Alan. So he started doing research on alternative healing and alternative options to help heal not only his body but his mind and body as well. After using alternative methods to heal his own body Alan felt the desire to help others know that there is HOPE, there is other methods of healing yourself besides the traditional route. Unbreak Your Health was born!
Listen to Alan’s interview on Heal Yourself Talk Radio and to learn more about “Unbreak Your Health” please watch the book trailer below.

Alan Smith has found greater health and happiness thanks to complementary and alternative therapies. Today he wants to share this hope of health with the world with his first book, UnBreak Your HealthTM.
A few years ago his deteriorating health took him to the finest medical facility in the world, The Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. Unfortunately they didn’t have any solutions for his digestive problems. The doctor managing his case put it simply: “There’s good news and bad news. The good news is your condition isn’t going to kill you. The bad news is you aren’t going to like it and there is very little we can do about it.”
Just a few weeks later he discovered a new book by Bruce Lipton, Ph.D. called Biology of Belief. This was the kind of answer he had been searching for - scientific evidence that the energy of thoughts and feelings could directly influence the function of cells. In other words, the right beliefs and attitudes could improve health! Lipton’s book led him to Rob Williams’s PSYCH-K® process. With the first signs of improvement he became so excited about complementary and alternative therapies that he began offering PSYCH-K® in Plano, Texas.
The challenge of introducing a new type of healing, especially in a conservative Southern location, was the inspiration for his book. After speaking to local groups it was clear that very few people had ever been exposed to complementary and alternative therapies but there was tremendous interest in more natural, holistic ways to improve health without prescription drugs. Someone with a health problem simply didn’t have a place to go to learn about the options available.
Even though his journalism degree was decades earlier he dusted off his reporting skills and began researching and writing. As he finished one subject he’d discover one or two more he’d never heard of until eventually UnBreak Your HealthTM grew to more than 300 listings.
Today he enjoys the best health he’s had in decades as a direct result of the complementary and alternative therapies included in his book.

Raw Foods Introduction
Part One of a Two part interview with Tina Jo Stephens about Raw Food diets.
*Due to a mistake on the time difference, we will be featuring Tina Jo Stephens back on Heal Yourself Talk Radio in the next couple weeks to get the full interview on Raw Foods.
I became interested in what the Raw Food diet was all about a few months ago after watching Wife Swap, then I found Tina Jo Stephens through a networking site and we got to talking. I am excited to hear more from Tina Jo on another show with HYTR. Be sure to either sign up for our newsletter if you are not already signed up so that when the next part is scheduled you will not miss it.
During the first part of this episode of HYTR I talked about how Dr. Wallach and Gerard Kielty are helping my family learn how what we eat and put into our bodies is what is affecting our physical and emotional states. My husband is a Type 1 Diabetic, my oldest son has asperger’s syndrome, my middle son was diagnoised with Asthma when he was only 6 months old, and my youngest son is autistic. WOW! I know you are thinking that is a lot to deal with in your family…yes it is but as I have said in the past this is my family and while day to day life is complicated when looking from the outside in it is normal for us. HOWEVER I want to change that normal for “us” to what is normal for everyone else. Meaning I want a healthy family.
In the upcoming weeks I will be discussing on Heal Yourself Magazine the diet that both Dr. Wallach and Gerard Kielty put my family on along with the supplements that Dr. Wallach put my 3 sons on.
For now during the first part of this Raw Foods show I discuss the diet, what raw foods really means and information that I have gained from doing my own research.
Also each Monday I am joining Viveca Stone-Berry of Adrenal Fatigue Be Gone and Fatigue Be Gone on the once a week juicing diet. Women from all around the world are participating and I encourage all of you to take a part in this once a week diet change. Be sure to check out Heal Yourself Magazine later this week as Viveca will be relaunching her blog and we will be blogging together about our juicing joys and findings.
Towards the end of the introduction to Raw Foods Tina Jo Stephens joins us and we discuss the beginning of what raw food is all about. I will post here the date of the next show where we will learn in greater detail how to start out on a raw diet, the tools you need to succeed with a raw diet and why eating a raw diet is good for your health.
Tina Jo Stephens offers weekly videos on Raw Food Diets and Food preparation at her site

SOLUTION TO THE HEALTHCARE CRISIS!
A new DRUG-FREE cure for most everyday health problems has been developed. A computer that is capable of identifying bad nervous system signals that are causing the brain to malfunction. The brain (that computer in your head) runs your body and if it is not running properly then it cannot run your body properly. The HEALTH SCAN computer will send signals to the brain, the same signals the brain receives when you eat the food and it will monitor your brains resistance to those signals. Then all the sufferer has to do is to stop eating/drinking those foods that upset the brain and most health problems clear up within weeks. This technology is well tried and tested as Health Scan has cured 10,000 patients of over 50 different health problems.
For further information see: www.healthscan.co.uk
or phone MR KIELTY I.R.B: I.D.E. on (0034) Spain 952 933618.
Do you suffer from a Food Intolerance? Many people do not even realize that they have a food intolerance but Gerard Kielty has the answer. A computerized scanning system that tests whether you have a food intolerance, not just a food allergy. They are different!
Gerard talks about the difference between food intolerance and food allergies, what they are, how to find out which one you have and much more!
This revoluntionary scanning system may be the answer to so many health issues such as migraines, deficiences for Vitamins and minerals, eczema, and so many other health issues.
Gerard Kielty also filmed a video of his letter to President Obama because he knows that his system could solve a lot of the American Health issues and help our health care system become more efficient. I will post his video and a few other articles etc after the show audio below.
Gerard has invited me to try out his system to help myself and my family, I will be doing so this weekend and will be reporting back to you all about how his system has helped my family.
More about Gerard Kielty
Mr Kielty is qualified to American Food and Drug Administration standards and is a leading specialist in the field of Electro-Dermal Screening.
This non-invasive state of the art technology has now brought healthcare into the 21st century.
The work of Health Scan has been featured throughout the world on radio, television and in numerous
magazines and newspapers.Treatment often succeeds where allergy testing does not.

WHY DOCTORS DON’T MAKE YOU HEALTHY!
Available at all good bookshops/google/amazon ISBN 978 1 84747 000 3
CURE YOUR HEALTH PROBLEMS THE SIMPLE ‘DRUG FREE’ WAY!
Mr GERARD KIELTY I.R.B. I.D.E. a Harley Street (London) specialist has recently published a book about his work in the field of FOOD INTOLERANCE.
The book is packed with all the information you need to become seriously healthy within a few months.
Health conditions that Mr Kielty has treated successfully are:
- Arthritis - Asthma - Athletes Foot - Bloated Stomach
- Blood Pressure problems
- Catarrh - Colitis - Concentration problems - Constipation
- Coughing - Cramp - Crohn’s Disease
- Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (M.E)
- Depression - Dermatitis - Diarrhoea - Dizziness
- Eczema - Epilepsy - Eye Sensitivity
- Gout - Tourette Syndrome
- Haemorrhoids - Hay fever - Headaches - Heartburn
- Hot Flushes - Hyperactivity
- Irritability - Irritable Bowel Syndrome
- Lack of Libido - Leg Ulcers
- Lethargy - Loss of Sense of Smell
- Loss of Confidence
- Memory Loss - Migraine - Mood Swings - Sleep problems
- Mouth Ulcers - Nausea
- Palpitations - Panic Attacks - Pre-menstrual Tension
- Rhinitis - Sciatica - Sinusitis - Sneezing
- Snoring - Stress - Sweating
- Thrush - Tinnitus
- Vomiting - Weight Gain or Loss
All of the above health problems were cured by the patient simply ‘avoiding’ the (DRUGS) foods that were causing them in the first place. Having scanned many thousands of people over the last 10 years Mr Kielty has identified and written about the major culprits, the ‘everyday’ foods that generally cause most health problems. His book also explains in great depth the considerable resistance that exists within the medical profession, the drug companies and many government agencies throughout the world to this advanced ‘drug free’ path to good health. The sale of medication makes vast fortunes each and every year for those that dispense it, so they’re not about to change anything. Mr Kielty has proved beyond doubt that 80% of everyday health problems are easy to cure ‘without’ drugs, all that’s required is to find the cause of the problem and remove it. Everybody on this planet suffers with Food Intolerance to some degree (this is a completely different thing to an Allergy) and when you poison your brain with ‘drugs’ called food it then gives you problems in return. Within a month or so of reading this book and following the advice given you will find that a great deal of your current health problems will have either improved dramatically or cleared up altogether.
If you would prefer a Health Scan then contact Mr Kielty directly via his website: www.healthscan.co.uk he also offers ONLINE HEALTH ADVICE.
Be sure and watch his video: MY LETTER TO PRESIDENT OBAMA you will also find it on his website.
HOW IT WORKS
Our brain is a computer that controls everything that happens within our body and just like all computers it runs on electricity, we do not generate this electricity so therefor we ‘have’ to put it into our body. We get the electricity our Nervous System needs to keep us alive from the foods that we eat. If we do not eat for a few months then we DIE!… what actually happens is that we run out of electricity!… we run flat like a battery!… and the first thing a paramedic will do on arrival is defibrillate us!… they jump start our heart ‘and’ our brain… it’s no different to a car with a flat battery.
(Remember: Our brain and heart are connected via the Nervous System and it’s our brain that sends out the signals that makes our heart work, our Brain sends out the signal that makes ‘everything’ work)
Whether we put Heroin or Chicken into our body they will both end up as an electrical signal (Drug) at our brain, problems then occur when our brain becomes INTOLERANT to these electrical signals. All foods send their own ‘unique’ electrical signal to our brain because all foods are different chemicals once they’ve broken down in our body. As a result of a ‘bad’ signal entering our brain it then sends out ‘bad’ signals that run down wires called nerves to various organs and parts of our body, these bad/wrong signals then cause organs to malfunction which in turn result in health problems such as those listed above.
A simple example of ‘bad’ signals coming from our brain would be the symptoms experienced from drinking a bottle of whisky! Our brain tells us that it works better ‘without’ that drug called whisky by giving ‘us’ problems in return. If you deliberately poisoned your brain then you would NOT expect it to run your body properly, would you?… well your doing that every day of your life with so called ‘healthy’ foods! Mr Kielty has scanned thousands of people over the years and he has not found a single person that does not have an intolerance to some of the foods which they eat each and every day. This new approach to good health certainly seems to get results, when you think about it if you take away the ‘cause’ of any problem then the problem goes away!… and of course then you don’t need the remedy (not that they work most of the time!…if they did then the drug companies would go out of buisness).
There are hundreds of testimonial letters at Mr Kielty’s clinic from people that suffered with ‘all’ of the health problems listed above. Below are just a small selection and several more are highlighted in the book.
MIGRAINE
It is now 3 months since I was tested and I am delighted to tell you how well this has worked for me.
If you recall I came to you with a history of severe headaches and migraines, high blood pressure, weight problems, acidity and back spasms due to injury and allied rheumatic pains etc. Also some recent problems with my eyes.I am pleased to let you know that these have all now cleared up.
My blood pressure has been monitored and is down to a very low level.
I no longer have migraines nor muscle spasms in my back nor the rheumatic or inflammatory pains in my calf muscles.
My weight is down also.
I have recommended your clinic and this testing to my friends and
relatives. I wish you all the success you deserve.
ASTHMA
Having suffered with asthma since the age of 22 I am delighted with the results since visiting your clinic six weeks ago. I have not had to use my inhaler once, I am so pleased that this is now a thing of the past and I cannot recommend Health Scan enough.
- ASTHMA
- ARTHRITIS
My visit to you was the result of speaking to someone suffering from asthma and arthritis, who, after following the new diet indicated by your test experienced a truly remarkable improvement not only in those conditions but in general health. I am also an asthmatic and suffered from severe headaches, I am glad to say that after avoiding the foods to which I show a high intolerant reaction according to your test my health has improved. My breathing has become easier and I have been able to reduce the strength and frequency of the inhalers that I use.
I have already recommended your service to my friends.
Many thanks for your help.
M.E.
ECZEMA
I came to see you three months ago to have an intolerance test done. I had suffered from M.E. for five years and also had major problems with food intolerance. I had tried different things but nothing seemed to work.
I will admit I came to you with a fair degree of scepticism but felt there was no harm in trying it.
Well, here I am writing to say;
“THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME BACK MY LIFE”
My gut problems have sorted themselves out provided I stick to the list of safe foods and my energy level has increased to such a level that I am able to do things I thought I would never be able to do again.
We are just back from a holiday in the Lake District and I managed to climb two Fells, one at 1,500 and the other at 2,500 feet.
My niece Laura, whom I brought to see you in April has also improved quite spectacularly, her skin is the best it has been in two years and she also feels so much better. She is off to Bavaria and Austria next week with the school, something that might not have been possible a few months ago when the eczema was making her life a misery.
I have been recommending you to so many people and I understand a few have already made appointments to come and see you. Needless to say I have run out of copies of your brochure and wonder if you could send me another ten or so as there are people asking me about the test, especially when they see how well I look after five years of really poor health.
If you would ever consider emigrating to Scotland we would make you most welcome.
ARTHRITIS
For many, many years I have been a sufferer of chronic osteo-arthritis (registered disabled). I have been happily following the advice given and have to report that the results so far have been tremendous. The constant arthritic pain has subsided and I feel a different person altogether. After such nagging pain for so long I can hardly believe it myself, never the less it’s true. A thousand thanks for helping me to help myself overcome my debilitating complaint.
- I.B.S.
- HEADACHES
- SKIN
- WEIGHT
I visited you to have the combined screening package almost four months ago. I feel that I can now truthfully say that it is the best money I have ever spent. Since visiting you I have changed my diet and cut out all the foods which my brain showed an intolerance to. Before doing this I was ill, had constant stomach problems, I.B.S, headaches and skin problems, plus silly things like clammy hands all the time. All of these symptoms have now cleared up. Since the changes I have lost the stone in weight that I put on and my weight has now levelled off to what it should be.
I also do not get hungry all the time any more and don’t just eat for the sake of it. All in all I feel much happier and healthier.
Be sure to visit http://www.healthscan.co.uk today and talk to Gerard Kielty!

May 8, 2009 by Rebbekah
Filed under Fighting Cancer, Health, New Shows
Healthier Eating and Living with Cancer by Karen Jung is an extensively researched and valuable patient-tested cookbook on preparing healthy and palatable meals for patients undergoing cancer treatments or people living with cancer. This book is also an excellent resource for individuals, family members, caregivers and friends who wish to prepare healthier meals.
Many recipes contain healthy and low-fat ingredients that will contribute to avoiding if not reducing the risk of coronary heart disease.
“I was initially inspired to write this book with the earlier encouragement of my husband who was diagnosed with cancer. I also wanted to share my culinary experience and ideas with other people living with cancer or life-threatening illnesses, and to help them prepare healthier meals. My husband overcame food challenges and avoided nausea and weight loss during cancer treatments and post-treatment recovery. Many of these recipes contributed to maintaining and/or increasing his weight during and after cancer treatments. During his recuperation, we entertained guests with these healthy and appetizing meals with the goal of persuading others to change their lifestyle and eating habits, too.
My passion for cooking came from my mother, and my father and grandfather who were both restaurant cooks. My professional background includes 24 years of experience in the health care industry. I served for 12 years as Director of Human Resources in several large hospitals and a residential care facility in British Columbia, where I have worked with all levels of staff including physicians and external caregivers.

Today’s show we have on author Boyd Hipp who wrote “Glad You Are Here“.
During the show Boyd and Rebbekah talk about how he didn’t even realize that he was an alchoholic because as he states “I was still functioning, and I only drank for a few hours each night….” however family and friends were very worried about Boyd so they set up an intervention.
Boyd talks about his first few hours at the center, how he felt those first few days while detoxing and what he learned throughout the whole experience.
Boyd talks about the withdrawals, how he coped with no outside contact with anyone for 39 days by writing in his journal which he started to be able to give to his children which he eventually made into his book “Glad You Are Here”.
This is a very touching interview a must listen to anyone who lives or loves an addict.
More about Glad You Are Here
The story of an unexpected intervention and the subsequent experience of 38 days in a rehab hospital is the theme found in Glad You Are Here.
It is a journey bourne of despair and hopelessness that transcends to one man finding his spiritual compass while beginning the long road back to sobriety.
A must read for anyone wrestling with the demon of addiction and personal turmoil this is a message of hope for all. Around the rooms of AA all over the world newcomer and visitor alike are always greeted with a resounding “Glad You Are Here”.

Female Cancers-signs, symptoms and where to find help
January 25, 2009 by Rebbekah
Filed under Boston Shows, Fighting Cancer
Friday January 16, 2009-Dreamvisions 7 Radio and WBNW 1120 AM Show 1:00-2:00 pm est
I felt led to do a show this week on Female cancers. I was updating my Heal Yourself Magazine site with information on cancer for women and updating the videos and articles from Fran Drescher’s organization CancerSchmancer.org. While I was updating it I realized that much of the information about signs and symptoms I found I didn’t know myself and felt led to do a show on female cancers.
During the show Maureen from New Jersey called in to tell me about her cancer experience when she was pregnant. The story that Maureen shares is both a story of courage and strength and how she went through saving her baby who was born a healthy 9+ pounds and how now she is wanting to be a help to other women who are going through the same thing. Maureen wanted to me to post a website and organization that helped her through this time in her life Pregnant with Cancer Network.
“They provided me with someone who went through similar experiences that I was going through and my “buddy” was able to give me insight and information that only someone else who has/is experiencing what you are experiencing can do.”-Maureen
During the show I read an email sent from a listener who could not come on the show.
Towards the end of the show I give a list of symptoms to look out for from several different female cancers. Like I stated on the show, while many of the signs and symptoms may suggest cancer many times these symptoms also mean something else is going on. So I encourage you before you panic should you display any of the signs or symptoms to call your doctor for an appointment first.
For more information I posted some articles and cheat sheets on Heal Yourself Magazine

If you have cancer or you know someone who does and are looking for support I found a few websites online that I feel will be a good way for you to find a support group in your area, I have never been to these groups or websites and I am not being paid to write about the groups below. These are just a few of the many cancer support groups I found online and felt they needed to be posted on this page.
Article about finding a good cancer support group from About.com
There are many, many more cancer support groups across the nation and world. The best way to find a group in your local area is to do a google search with terms like “your city, cancer support groups” in the search box.
How dealing with our healing helps us in Business
Denise Michaels is on HYTR today she is the author of Testosterone FREE Marketing, we will be talking about how healing our own bodies and mind can help us heal our own marketing efforts as well.
I have had the priviledge to have known Denise for over 3 years now, when I first started Heal Yourself Talk Radio Denise was one of many people who were instrumental in keeping me motivated and knowing that while I was not in my comfort zone at the time, I felt it was what I was lead to do.
During that time my private life was in an uproar, my health was bad and I was just plain scared! Thanks to Denise who was one of my business coaches at the time, I was able to overcome my fears both professionally and personally and move on to where I am today.

IBC the Silent Killer
January 16, 2009 by Rebbekah
Filed under Women's Health
While preparing for today’s Boston Radio show (Friday January 16, 2009) about cancer an online friend emailed me about IBC. I had no idea what IBC was…she sent me a link to some You Tube Videos that helped explained one of the least known breast cancers that are usually NOT DIAGNOSED till the women are in Stage 4!
Note from admin: I posted this on the Heal Yourself Magazine site first but this is too important for just one site! SO I am featuring this here on Heal Yourself Talk Radio as well.
I will be posting a video at the end of this post as well so you can listen to some important information about IBC.
I want to help spread the word about IBC, I lost two aunts to breast cancer several years ago and my mother in law had breast cancer as well. But the term IBC was new to me so I did some more research and here is what I found out:
Taken from Cancer.gov
- Inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) is a rare but very aggressive type of breast cancer (see Question 1).
- IBC usually grows rapidly and often spreads to other parts of the body; symptoms include redness, swelling, and warmth in the breast (see Questions 2 and 3).
- Treatment for IBC usually starts with chemotherapy, which is generally followed by surgery, radiation, targeted therapy, and/or hormone therapy (see Question 4).
- People with IBC are encouraged to enroll in clinical trials (research studies with people) that explore new treatments (see Question 5).
- What is inflammatory breast cancer (IBC)?
- What are the symptoms of IBC?
- How is IBC diagnosed?
- How is IBC treated?
- Are clinical trials (research studies with people) available? Where can people get more information about clinical trials?
- What is the prognosis for patients with IBC?
- Where can a person find more information about breast cancer and its treatment?
- NCI’s Breast Cancer Home Page (http://www.cancer.gov/breast/)
- Breast Cancer (PDQ®): Treatment (http://www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/pdq/treatment/breast/patient/)
- Understanding Breast Changes: A Health Guide for All Women (http://www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/understanding-breast-changes)
- What You Need To Know About™ Breast Cancer (http://www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/wyntk/breast)
Inflammatory breast cancer is a rare but very aggressive type of breast cancer in which the cancer cells block the lymph vessels in the skin of the breast. This type of breast cancer is called “inflammatory” because the breast often looks swollen and red, or “inflamed.” IBC accounts for 1 to 5 percent of all breast cancer cases in the United States (1). It tends to be diagnosed in younger women compared to non-IBC breast cancer. It occurs more frequently and at a younger age in African Americans than in Whites. Like other types of breast cancer, IBC can occur in men, but usually at an older age than in women. Some studies have shown an association between family history of breast cancer and IBC, but more studies are needed to draw firm conclusions (2).
Symptoms of IBC may include redness, swelling, and warmth in the breast, often without a distinct lump in the breast. The redness and warmth are caused by cancer cells blocking the lymph vessels in the skin. The skin of the breast may also appear pink, reddish purple, or bruised. The skin may also have ridges or appear pitted, like the skin of an orange (called peau d’orange), which is caused by a buildup of fluid and edema (swelling) in the breast. Other symptoms include heaviness, burning, aching, increase in breast size, tenderness, or a nipple that is inverted (facing inward) (3). These symptoms usually develop quickly—over a period of weeks or months. Swollen lymph nodes may also be present under the arm, above the collarbone, or in both places. However, it is important to note that these symptoms may also be signs of other conditions such as infection, injury, or other types of cancer (1).
Diagnosis of IBC is based primarily on the results of a doctor’s clinical examination (1). Biopsy, mammogram, and breast ultrasound are used to confirm the diagnosis. IBC is classified as either stage IIIB or stage IV breast cancer (2). Stage IIIB breast cancers are locally advanced; stage IV breast cancer is cancer that has spread to other organs. IBC tends to grow rapidly, and the physical appearance of the breast of patients with IBC is different from that of patients with other stage III breast cancers. IBC is an especially aggressive, locally advanced breast cancer.
Cancer staging describes the extent or severity of an individual’s cancer. (More information on staging is available in the National Cancer Institute (NCI) fact sheet Staging: Questions and Answers at http://www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/factsheet/Detection/staging on the Internet.) Knowing a cancer’s stage helps the doctor develop a treatment plan and estimate prognosis (the likely outcome or course of the disease; the chance of recovery or recurrence).
Treatment consisting of chemotherapy, targeted therapy, surgery, radiation therapy, and hormonal therapy is used to treat IBC. Patients may also receive supportive care to help manage the side effects of the cancer and its treatment. Chemotherapy (anticancer drugs) is generally the first treatment for patients with IBC, and is called neoadjuvant therapy. Chemotherapy is systemic treatment, which means that it affects cells throughout the body. The purpose of chemotherapy is to control or kill cancer cells, including those that may have spread to other parts of the body.
After chemotherapy, patients with IBC may undergo surgery and radiation therapy to the chest wall. Both radiation and surgery are local treatments that affect only cells in the tumor and the immediately surrounding area. The purpose of surgery is to remove the tumor from the body, while the purpose of radiation therapy is to destroy remaining cancer cells. Surgery to remove the breast (or as much of the breast tissue as possible) is called a mastectomy. Lymph node dissection (removal of the lymph nodes in the underarm area for examination under a microscope) is also done during this surgery.
After initial systemic and local treatment, patients with IBC may receive additional systemic treatments to reduce the risk of recurrence (cancer coming back). Such treatments may include additional chemotherapy, hormonal therapy (treatment that interferes with the effects of the female hormone estrogen, which can promote the growth of breast cancer cells), targeted therapy (such as trastuzumab, also known as Herceptin®), or all three. Trastuzumab is administered to patients whose tumors overexpress the HER–2 tumor protein. More information about Herceptin and the HER–2 protein is available in the NCI fact sheet Herceptin® (Trastuzumab): Questions and Answers, which can be found at http://www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/factsheet/therapy/herceptin on the Internet.
Supportive care is treatment given to improve the quality of life of patients who have a serious or life-threatening disease, such as cancer. It prevents or treats as early as possible the symptoms of the disease, side effects caused by treatment of the disease, and psychological, social, and spiritual problems related to the disease or its treatment. For example, compression garments may be used to treat lymphedema (swelling caused by excess fluid buildup) resulting from radiation therapy or the removal of lymph nodes. Additionally, meeting with a social worker, counselor, or member of the clergy can be helpful to those who want to talk about their feelings or discuss their concerns. A social worker can often suggest resources for help with recovery, emotional support, financial aid, transportation, or home care.
Yes. The NCI is sponsoring clinical trials that are designed to find new treatments and better ways to use current treatments. Before any new treatment can be recommended for general use, doctors conduct clinical trials to find out whether the treatment is safe for patients and effective against the disease. Participation in clinical trials is a treatment option for many patients with IBC, and all patients with IBC are encouraged to consider treatment in a clinical trial.
People interested in taking part in a clinical trial should talk with their doctor. Information about clinical trials is available from the NCI’s Cancer Information Service (CIS) (see below) at 1–800–4–CANCER and in the NCI booklet Taking Part in Cancer Treatment Research Studies, which is available at http://www.cancer.gov/publications on the Internet . This booklet describes how research studies are carried out and explains their possible benefits and risks. Further information about clinical trials is available at http://www.cancer.gov/clinicaltrials on the NCI’s Web site. The Web site offers detailed information about specific ongoing studies by linking to PDQ®, the NCI’s comprehensive cancer information database. The CIS also provides information from PDQ.
Prognosis describes the likely course and outcome of a disease—that is, the chance that a patient will recover or have a recurrence. IBC is more likely to have metastasized (spread to other areas of the body) at the time of diagnosis than non-IBC cases (3). As a result, the 5-year survival rate for patients with IBC is between 25 and 50 percent, which is significantly lower than the survival rate for patients with non-IBC breast cancer. It is important to keep in mind, however, that these statistics are averages based on large numbers of patients. Statistics cannot be used to predict what will happen to a particular patient because each person’s situation is unique. Patients are encouraged to talk to their doctors about their prognosis given their particular situation.

A Husband, A Wife and an Illness

They were living the American Dream…then their dream became a nightmare!
The July’s want to help you and your loved one(s) LIVE life beyond illness!
Their story captures the devastation and pain chronic illness exacts on the patient and the caregiving spouse. The July’s lost everything but each other. They were torn from their dreams and thrust headlong into a fight for their lives with an illness that wrecked their plans, their finances, and ultimately became a battle for their souls. But they have learned how, not only to survive, but to have a life beyond illness.
Jamey Lacy July was struck down with a devastating illness right at the prime of her life. She went from being an athlete, wellness expert, and speaker to living her life day to day. William July is a nationally recognized author on four relationship books and has been interviewed on national TV and radio stations.
Together they fought to reconstruct their lives.
Their story amazed me when I first went to their website. The strength still have and the love that they had for each other. Jamey during the show shares tips for the caregiver to take care of themselves, while she is the one with the chronic disease she recognized that her husband still needed to get out in the world and go to the gym, have time to rejuvenate his body and soul.
I know many people who are caregivers and see the strain it can have on a relationship if the caregiver does not take time out and get away from being a caregiver. While we fight with the guilt of being able to go out and do things, or the guilt of leaving the person we are taking care of when they cannot get out and about themselves…we as caregivers do need to learn that in order to be the best we can we still need to allow ourselves time to be just that ourselves.
The July’s book “A Husband, A Wife, and An Illness-Living Life Beyond Chronic Illness” is one of the best books as it talks about both sides of the story. From the stand point of both the caregiver and the person who is chronically ill. The book is also set up with questions and an action plan at the end of each chapter that helps you think and process what they chapter was all about.

Importance of Working With Long-Term Care-Givers
October 26, 2008 by Rebbekah
Filed under Book Recommendations, Shows, being a caregiver
With more and more families having to deal with dementia and alzeheimers people are searching for the help and assistance they need to help those they love be more comfortable as they combat this increasingly broading disease.
In the next few years more and more families will be faced with having to take care of aging parents, family members and even friends (According to a 2007 survey conducted by Harris Interactive for The MetLife Foundation, memory loss is second only to cancer as the nations most feared disease.)…while there is help out there for those who have dementia many times there is not help for the caregivers. Caregivers are a rare breed, they give and give all the while still trying to keep the rest of their lives normal.
Dr. Bresky has developed a 9 point system that not only helps those who suffer from dementia but also help for caregivers. We all know that if caregivers are not taking care of themselves, they too will fall ill.
On today’s show Dr. Bresky talks about his 9 point system and how caregivers can give more to themselves while still helping out those they love.
All supporters who donate $5.00 will have their website links added to our Recommended Links section on HYTR & HY Magazine plus a special thank you will be sent out to our newsletter as our way of thanking you. Thank you again for all your love and support.After delivering nearly 10,000 babies (using husband-coached natural childbirth) as a board-certified Obstetrician-Gynecologist for over 30 years, Arnold Bresky M.D. switched his focus 12 years ago to the other end of lifes spectrum. He now devotes his full attention to memory function and considers himself a quality of life healer and preventive gerontologist. He maintains that most individuals and their families who are dealing with issues related to aging can be helped through pro-active intervention and treatment.
Recognizing the importance of assisting Alzheimers and dementia sufferers, Dr. Bresky began to practice Preventive Gerontology in 1996, and continues to work daily with his patients one-on-one. In 2005, he became known as the memory doctor at the Jewish Home for the Aging in Reseda, California, and then co-founded the Brain Longevity Center in Thousand Oaks, California in 2007. He currently serves as Medical Director of the Camarillo Springs Holistic Medical Center in Camarillo, California. He is also spearheading the Memory Care Network and Brain Tune-Up Center (www.mybraintuneup.com).
As an expert in the field, Dr. Bresky recognizes the important role caregivers play in society in working with seniors and individuals with disabilities, as well as long-term care workers to provide quality care.
While Alzheimers disease has reached crisis proportions in the United States, the good news is that physicians now know how to protect aging brains and to slow the progression of cognitive decline.
Dr. Bresky says planning for tomorrow starts today. The symptoms of dementia can be delayed for 3-5 years through healthy lifestyles and behavior modification. If we can slow the progression of Alzheimers by 5 years, we can cut the number of cases in half, he says. If the onset of Alzheimers were delayed by 10 years, the disease would essentially be eradicated.
According to a 2007 survey conducted by Harris Interactive for The MetLife Foundation, memory loss is second only to cancer as the nations most feared disease.
Care-giving is a vital linked issue, Dr. Bresky notes. As the years pass, he says the supply of caregivers will decrease and the demand needed will dramatically increase. Both the drafted and professional caregiver have no scientific protocols to follow and therefore they burnout and become victims.
Memory is crucial for learning new material and new skills every day. We have the power to have a younger and healthier brain, but we have to continue to be a life-long learner, Dr. Bresky says. You either use it or lose it!
Dr. Bresky has created a caregiver road map for both self-care and how to care for others. Its all contained in his new book The Secret for Caregiver Success which will be released in mid-June, and available online (www.mybraintuneup.com) as well as at leading bookstores.
In his book to help combat memory loss, Dr. Bresky outlines a revolutionary new program called the Brain Tune-Up, a multi-disciplinary system to teach individuals how to continue growing intellectually, creatively, gracefully, successfully and emotionally as the years progress. My program improves the memory function to enhance a persons quality of life, he adds.
Dr. Breskys user-friendly 9-Point Brain TuneUp system is holistic and centered on preventive medicine. Simply, its therapeutic recreation for individuals and facilities to combine attention-training workbooks using art and music (Mozarts piano Concerto #21 is his favorite) and over 2,000 brain exercises. His four pillars of brain health are — physical activity, mental activity, social activity and good cardio-vascular health.
A native of Brooklyn, New York, Dr. Bresky received his B.S. Degree from Brooklyn College and M.D. Degree in 1965 from Albert Einstein College of Medicine. Along the way, he attended Yeshiva with his sights set on becoming a Rabbi, but instead won a scholarship which helped him enter medical school. Upon moving to Los Angeles, he began his residency as an OB/GYN at Kaiser Foundation Hospital in Hollywood in 1966 and in 1970 entered private practice in the San Fernando Valley.

Can one book really change your life? We think it can.
Thousands of people around the world have participated in The AIM Program of Energetic Balancing after reading about a powerful and unique spiritual healing technology in the novel Sanctuary.
Stephen Lewis is with us talking about the frequencies and how his program can help those children with Autism. Stephen is offering his program THE AIM Program of Energetic Balancing free to those children who have been diagnosed with Autism.
|
Stephen Lewis, founder of EMC² and co-author of the novel Sanctuary: The Path to Consciousness has been exploring energetic balancing for more than 25 years. His path began with an interest in oriental philosophy combined with German psychiatry; specifically the work of W. Reich who believed energetic imbalance was the cause of all the pathology. |
|
| Eventually Lewis was led to the healing arts. His degrees include acupuncture and homeopathy, both of which are forms of energetic healing. Lewis’ extensive studies and research led him directly to the insights upon which EMC²’s spiritual energetic balancing technology is based. Thousands of people worldwide have healed themselves using their intention and the balancing frequencies of AIM. The AIM Program has earned the endorsements of Dr. Wayne Dyer, Dr. Michael Beckwith, author Kevin Trudeau and many others. | |
| EMC²’s purpose is to find imbalances in consciousness and offer energetic balancing as a way to assist living beings in the clearing and release of those imbalances in order to increase their well-being. Lewis has always made an explicit distinction between the healing that is the natural result of a shift in consciousness as compared to the medical trio of diagnosing, treating and, hopefully, curing. That medical trio is the work of medical professionals and is done TO you. Healing, on the other hand, is definitively in the realm of spirituality and must be done BY you. Lewis points out that true healers don’t actually heal you, but rather teach or inspire you to find the healing power that you naturally possess. All healing is a result of your consciousness directing your Life Force. And, in that realm, because everything is energy, anything is possible! The character of Max in the novel Sanctuary: The Path To Consciousness by Stephen Lewis and EMC² co-Founder Evan Slawson is based on the life and work of Stephen Lewis. | |

October’s Flower Essence
October 13, 2008 by Delores
Filed under Healing with Plants
What a month!
Election campaign craziness, financial institutions failing, personal life and business challenges. Even knowing that this is all a part of a necessary vibrational upgrade, it is still easy to slide into worry and overwhelm. October’s Flower Essence can help with these feelings.
What Are Flower Essences?
Expanded Definition as spoken by the plant:
Thimbleberry (Rubus parviflorus) -– Cultivates engaging daily life with joy and gratitude without being attached to the circumstances or a specific outcome.
I AM Joy and Gratitude overflowing in daily life!
Medicinal, Food & Wildlife Qualities:
Thimbleberry, native to western and northern North America, has large white five-petal flowers and edible raspberry-like, red half-sphere shaped fruit. Thimbleberry has no thorns unlike others berry bushes of its genus. Thimbleberry often grows on roadsides and other disturbed sites, forest edges and clearings, or along streams. At Tree Frog Farm, it grows primarily has a hedgerow along the forest edge with nookta roses, snowberries and salmonberries. Thimbleberry’s fine branches make dense cover for nesting birds. Many indigenous peoples ate the young shoots and the fruit of thimbleberry.
Symptom:
Experiencing a lack of joy from believing that the circumstances in your life or the world around you control your life. Wanting a specific outcome to a situation so you can feel happy. Feeling unable to connect with gratitude for the wonderful aspects of your life.
Action:
Thimbleberry flower essence supports flowing through daily life bathed in joy and gratitude regardless of circumstances. It helps you to step back and look, without attachment, at the situations and people that appear to be creating your life or the world around you. And it supports taking a fresh look at possibilities for different outcomes while encouraging joy and gratitude for the learning experience.<br><br>
This essence was made by the no pick method. While the essence was being made, gemstones of amber, bloodstone, green tourmaline, red jasper, rose quartz and drusy quartz were placed among the storage (mother) bottles. The sun acts as a transformer to step down spiritual energies from higher dimensions. While the essence was being made, Amber acted as a lens to receive and focus sunlight for this purpose. Bloodstone is a stone of courage that helps you to recognize the beneficial aspects of turmoil before balance. It rebalances your base, sacral, navel and heart charkas, energy fields, and total body during the realignment of these energies. Green tourmaline holds the essence of the plant kingdom and assists with transferring the vibrational frequency of minerals to the vibrational frequency of plants. It helps to attune energy between the brow eye and the heart chakra. Red Jasper instills physical vitality, emotional balance and zest for life. Rose quartz works on all of the chakras to gently remove negativity, to reinstate the gentle forces of self-love and to heal emotional wounds. Drusy quartz helps to energize and stabilize your subtle bodies. The actions of the gemstones inform the way this flower essence seats into the physical body.

I have known Katherine for about a year now, and have been so amazed at her spirit and how positive she is about making time for her kids and being sure that her kids are not hurt during her seperation. Katherine shows us in so many ways how to put your kids first, how to handle family and friends who want to put your ex down in front of the kids and so many more tips.
Also towards the end of the show we have Jennifer Munger on talking about The New York State Coalition Against Sexual Assault. She talked about their Race on Saturday September 27, while the race is now over you can still donate to the cause.

MORE ABOUT BOK

Body of Knowledge by Dr. Robert Moore
Body of Knowledge system was created with the sole purpose in mind for people to be able to manage their weight and overall health on their own. The BOK system is not a magic bullet or a fad diet but a sensible, sustainable program for weight management and promoting good health. The BOK system offers a realistic plan to help people make life-altering, life-affirming changes by utilizing nutrition, exercise and support.
Our mission is to provide information that gives you the ability to create and maintain a healthy lifestyle that adapts to change-one that naturally manages your weight, keeps you fit, promotes good health, and gives you a Body of Knowledge.
Most doctors share a common dream-to help cure those who are in need and to do something really special in their career. While I enjoy every facet of my medical and surgical practice, overall my professional sense of accomplishment has come from successfully helping people transform their lives through the Body of Knowledge system.
Body of Knowledge, or BOK (pronounced “Be Okay”), is the result of twenty years of study, research, and working with people who have come to me overweight, out of shape, and often despondent. I believe that my vision and expertise mirrors an emerging public demand for healthy lifestyle programs. I have found that most people prefer a blend of truth and essential information in an organized, facts-driven format over the gimmick-driven and “quick fix” weight loss plans of the past. This new enthusiasm could not have come at a better time. Serious health problems associated with weight gain in both adults and children are increasing across the nation. Even though there are more diet and fitness plans on the market than any time in history, there are more people considered obese and overweight than ever before (over half of our population).
