Through T.I. Bishop’s holistic approach to good health, our entire family has received healing:
God heals in many different ways, using various means. Our healing occurs instantaneously (miracles) or gradually, but both are gifts. God has granted to T.I. the gift of wisdom and discernment to aide in the healing process that He has uniquely designed for each individual. Along with these gifts, T.I. possesses a heart of compassion for each person she sees. Our family is grateful for the blessing God has given us in T.I. Bishop. -- K. P. I am eternally grateful to TI for keeping me in good health for the last several years... when I feel a cold coming on, I go to her, and she gives me drops or nasal spray to stop it in its tracks. My family genetic pre-disposition to hypothyroidism (sluggish thyroid) has yet to show up in medical testing because I am still fairly young; but TI detected a iodine deficiency, and has had me on inexpensive but effective supplements for years now. As a result, I may be one of the first in my family to avoid having decades of thyroid medications and diabetes. She can even give remedies for yeast infections! TI is compassionate, patient, and genuinely interested in her clients and getting them well again, and I have been greatly reassured and comforted by having her as one of my primary health resources. I call her before I call my doctor - she can usually see me much sooner, too! -- Susan Houston After years of going to the doctor about my digestion issues and having been tested for everything under the sun (blood, urine and stool tests), no one was able to help me. I eventually was diagnosed with IBS - and my condition and symptoms only got worse as time went on. I sought T.I. Bishop as an alternative to what doctors couldn't figure out. She was able to get to the root of my issue by detecting parasites. The treatment she advised brought these critters out of me! I know because I saw them! I am forever grateful for finding T.I. and I believe she one of the biggest reasons I am on the road to recovery today. -- Kelsie I must tell you about Breanna - beginning 48 hours after visiting you Breanna has slept soundly each night since. She has never slept soundly a single night since birth! She always tossed and turned, had vivid dreams or nightmares and talked in her sleep. She hardly stirs now. Mike and I can't believe it. Yesterday upon rising her saliva ph reached 7.0... I have been testing her for 2 months each morning, and this is the first time she was in the normal range. Her first morning urine is actually more acid; 5.75-6.0 (was up to 6.25-6.5). I am guessing her liver and digestive systems are beginning to balance (showing in the saliva) but it is taking time for her kidneys to move the waste out. The Dr. dropped her Lantis (long acting insulin) completely last week. She takes a total 1.5-2.5 units of Humalog (short acting) each day keeping her post meal blood sugar from shooting up too high. In January when we left the hospital, her original perscription was 12-15 units of Humalog. We are so close to turning. Thanks for all your help. I am still praying the Lord will heal Breanna's body completely and bring a cure for so many who live daily with diabetes. It is hard to watch that tiny body struggle with the fluctuating blood sugar levels. It is hard to see her finger pricked every 4 hours as well as administer the injections as needed. It is a huge lifestyle adjustment and it amazes me that so many, many people have had to deal with this for 30 years or more. It saddens me when I hear of one more person getting the disease (like Denver's quarterback at age 25). I pray to see Type 1 diabetes be prevented just like small pox, polio and other terrible diseases that struck children in the past. I know all things are possible. I was glad to hear about your office from a friend and very glad to experience improvements in Breanna's pH, sleep and lowered insulin needs. The Electro-dermal screening helps to take the guess work about what supplements and medicine works for Breanna's body. Every body is different and has unique needs. As we go forward in a few weeks with a followup screening, we have a way to measure improvements in her body and make adjustments. For the first time I feel a huge amount of hope. -- Joni H, Atlanta, GA [note: Breanna is 4 years old, and was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes in January.] As a former athlete, I have been privileged to some of the leading clinical practice treatments in the country for better health. A friend recommended T.I. to me, and although I was not familiar with her testing and treatment, I went anyway. Since that first visit, I have felt healthier and more energized than at any point in my life and I intend to continue my visits to T.I. -- Drew Maddux, TN A moment of peace! That's what I need as a mother of four young children! Ah, and lets add in, some strength for the task, certainly some joy for the undertaking, and maybe a clear mind so I can decide where to charge forth next in this great adventure called motherhood! I am truly amazed at the modern-day miracle of the Electro-dermal screening device. In the search for health and wholeness, T.I. pairs the best of technology with the best of what has been gleaned from the ages--solutions from nature applied with a gentle, discerning approach. I arrived at T.I.'s door, a year ago, a tired, depressed, very ill young woman who had recently settled on feeling sick for the rest of my life. I thought doctors did not have any other answers for my life or for that of my ill family. After all, we were living with the diagnosis of and daily suffering from: Daily seizures and other ramifications from Epilepsy in 2 different children, severe Asthma interrupting the activity level of a preschooler, a thyroid condition (that was bringing on hot flashes, low energy), depression, achy joints, allergies, no energy, eczema, sour tummies...you name it we had it! What an effort it was, dragging through days and nights with my sick body, tending to the ongoing health issues of my family , which the doctors said would only worsen with age as their medication levels would rise up. T.I.'s screening and treatment was painless. Actually my children found it to be interesting, enjoyable even. We never had to wait to be seen and we were always made to feel unique and valued. The homeopathic remedies we were given were very easy for my children to take--they never resisted the flavor like they had conventional medications. Again, it was enjoyable, especially as we watched each member of our family restored to healing over the course of the year. Yes, not one item from that previous list of illness remains in our family today!! Today, I look out at the world with a much different perspective then the "me" of just one year ago! I have the energy and stamina to match the desires and dreams God has placed in my heart and the strength in my hands to joyfully accomplish all that's before me each day. What's even more exciting to me ,has been to watch the impact of T.I.'s treatment upon the lives of my children. Their health has brought newness and growth to every aspect of their lives. From sleeping through the night, to a new-found joy and social confidence, to lungs that will keep up with as far as little legs will run, to a hope for their healthy futures. We are truly blessed! --Gillian Tucker, Franklin,TN Dear TI- Just wanted to write and say thanks so much for helping me out! My stomach had a huge turn around from day one after seeing you and getting the papaya pills! After finishing the drops and taking the herbs you suggested for a few weeks-- I don't have any stomach problems! I have told EVERYONE about you, and they are all amazed! Once again, thanks so much --A. Kelley, Murfreesboro, TN Last April I went through a series of doctor’s appointments and tests confirming a medical condition and a prognosis from 3 doctors that it would be very difficult for me to conceive a child. Refusing to accept this as an end (or the beginning of a very long trail through infertility drugs), my husband and I prayerfully decided that we would do everything possible that we could naturally before turning to infertility drugs to bring my body to a place where I could conceive on my own. Several friends referred me to TI Bishop for consult. I didn’t really understand exactly what she did… but I trusted my friends and so we made my first appointment. As I sit to write this, my little 18-week-old baby continues to grow in my womb with no complications to report to date! To say that I am thankful that my path crossed with this exceptional woman is an understatement. It has been a gift beyond measure. Not only am I pregnant, but I also feel better than EVER before. I have experienced healing in my body that I didn’t think was possible. I used to experience headaches daily, low energy levels, and allergies that were at times unbearable. All of these symptoms have either gone away completely or reduced greatly due to my partnership for health with TI. This didn’t happen overnight… or even with one visit. It was a series of visits and two committed people working to uncover my optimal health. It continues to be amazing to me the objectivity of the measure that TI uses to detect what is going on in my body as well as what will be helpful for me to get better. You and I could have the exact same problem, but our course of treatment would vary significantly depending on what our bodies respond to. Though this is true in the medical community, the only way to see what treatment will help is to try the drug. With TI, she is able to test different options to see what will help you up front. It is amazing!! I have never felt such a strong alliance for my health with another health professional. She listens… REALLY listens to what I have to say each time I go into her office. I have never felt so validated. There are so many little things that I just thought I had to live with. I have learned that there is so much more to the quality of my health and life that can be uncovered. I feel as though I have been empowered to take control of my own health. And I truly feel like I have a partner in that venture. I also know that TI genuinely cares for me and about my health. Her excitement when I shared with her the news of our pregnancy ranked among that of my closest friends! I am so thankful --- Kara, Franklin, TN After struggling with various health conditions over the past 10 years, I have finally seen a small light at the end of the tunnel. I have spent most of my 20’s jumping from one doctor to the next only to hear that I was perfectly healthy. I have always known though that I had the potential to feel better physically and emotionally. Working with TI on various symptoms and conditions, has been an incredible blessing. Unanswered questions have finally started to be answered and I feel better than I have in years. I know that I still probably have a long way to go and I also know that natural healing takes Godly patience. I am excited to see my progress continue!!! ---Elizabeth, Nashville, TN "Do not take vitamin E." "Take vitamin E." "Do not eat butter." "Eat butter." "Milk is bad." "Milk is good." I am a 59 year old woman and I have been getting contradictory advice like this for years. Then three years ago I met T.I. Bishop, and through the services she offers, I found out first hand that some people do well with certain foods, vitamins, make up, hair products and medicines and some don't. And that some products that my friends use liberally every day affect me negatively. I am so relieved to know that I now have a place and person who will be able to tell me what my personal body needs are and what may be causing trouble. Every step is personalized to my particular chemistry. This alone has been a stress reducer in my life. A few testimonies - I purchased a bottle of fish oil gel caps and had been taking them for about a month when I noticed a dramatic change in my mood and nervous system within a few hours after taking my vitamins. I narrowed it down to the addition of the fish oil and since I'd been reading so much about mercury in fish these days, suspected that mercury may be the culprit. T.I. tested the gel cap to my body for mercury and sure enough it registered a substantial increase in mercury. I stopped taking it and was back to normal within a week. I began having heart palpitations. They were at first annoying, but soon became more than annoying. At night I could barely sleep with pounding that felt like my heart couldn't take any more. I went to my doctor, who put me on a 24 hour heart monitor. The reading showed a very irregular heart beat, and he scheduled me for a treadmill stress test. I called T.I. and her computer showed a pretty substantial deficiency in two minerals that I was already taking in a multivitamin. Further digging showed a parasite that was preventing those minerals from being absorbed into my system. She gave me a remedy for the parasite and started me out on a substantial dose of the minerals. When I went back for the treadmill stress test the next day, it came out absolutely clean. Not one missed or extra heartbeat. The doctor was amazed, and thankfully, he accepted my explanation gracefully. I have brought in everything from hair products and makeup to actual food and medicines. And having tested them all, she has been able to confirm suspicions on my part and eliminate problems that would have gone otherwise unresolved. Having the resources available that T.I. uses has made quite a change the quality of my life. I am truly grateful for her services. --Allie Larkin, Franklin, TN HOSPITAL MIRACLE! We have been having some work done around the house by a handyman named Jim. A few weeks ago, he told me that his schedule was some what unstable due to a family crisis. His three year old granddaughter was on life support in a Memphis hospital. No one knew exactly what was wrong, but she had something terribly wrong with her lungs. Jim was not at all hopeful. It did not look like she would survive. This was particularly hard for Jim because he had lost two of his own children to Cystic Fibrosis. My heart went out to Jim. Because I had been struggling with my own health, I felt an over whelming sense of compassion. If any of the resources that I had learned about over the past few months could help this child, I wanted to bring them into play. First I called Jina to see if she had any ideas. She said that carrot and spinach juice could help. When I offered this idea to Jim, he shook his head because there was no way to gain access to the child’s mouth. The respirator tube was blocking access. Next I called TI Bishop to see if she had any ideas. She said that she could prepare a blend of essential oils that had been helpful for some of her clients with lung problems. She prepared the blend and I shipped it to Memphis. We prayed and waited to see if the nutritional oils would help. A couple of days later, Jim called to tell me that the nurses at the hospital were amazed! Every time that the child’s dad would rub the oils on her chest, the life support readings would change. In less than a week, Kaytie began to override the respirator. Doctors were cautiously optimistic. Because they had almost lost her at an earlier time when they had tried to remove her from the respirator, the doctors decided to sedate her and give her a paralytic so that she would not try to come off the respirator too quickly. By the end of the week, she was successfully removed off the respirator and was breathing on her own. I have never felt greater euphoria than when I heard this news. I called TI Bishop, ecstatic. Praise God! I was so elated by what had happened that I had to learn more about essential oils. I asked TI to direct me to books and whatever resources that she could. She let me borrow some wonderful books. My favorite is “Reference Guide for Essential Oils” by Higley. This book is out of print, but I found a copy on Ebay. She also gave me information about a company called Young Living Essential Oils. This company has a great deal of educational materials about these oils as well as a full line of single oils and oil blends available to the general public. I decided to subscribe so that I would have easy access to the educational materials and could order products at the lowest price possible. For more information, go to http://www.youngliving.com. My sponsor number # 876465 will give you access to the discounted prices. I found the CD “Essential Oils: The Missing Link” item #3974 particularly interesting. Now back to Kaytie. About a week after I had heard the good news about Kaytie, her grandfather called to tell me that she was not waking up from the paralytic and sedatives. He was concerned that she may not even have brain wave activity! This was so sad after the previous good news. I was not trying to “play doctor” or interfere in any way with her medical treatment, but I wanted to help. I looked in the books on essential oils for anything that might help to wake her. When I found some remedies that looked promising, I asked T.I. if she agreed. She agreed that Kaytie might benefit from the nutritional support of frankincense, myrrh, geranium, and peppermint. We sent them and the parents rubbed the oils on her neck, forehead, and feet. According to Kaytie’s grandfather, the doctors were surprised to arrive at her room to find her sitting up in her bed playing. She went home from the hospital a few days later with the title “Hospital Miracle.” --Anna, Brentwood, Tn. I first heard about T.I. from a neighbor who highly recommended her. We were discussing some health issues including infertility and she told me about T.I. At first, I was skeptical. I had asked my doctors about my health issues and had suffered most of my life with no solutions. My doctors had no suggestions that worked. My husband and I had been trying to conceive for a year and a half when I went to T.I. I took a chance thinking that it was worth a shot. Not only did T.I. fix long-standing issues like intestinal and digestion problems, but also took on several issues that I didn't even mention. I can happily say that I noticed results very quickly after following her instructions. I am healthy and more importantly I am 12 weeks pregnant! I think it is never too late to solve a health problem and feel better! --D. Kirk, Murfreesboro, TN This is an expression of the blessing Ms. T.I. Bishop has placed in my life. The conditions of C.O.P.D., asthma, allergies, joint/back problems, and arthritis are so serious that conventional doctors resorted to prescribing thirty eight (38) different medications. With T.I.'s help, the number of prescriptions is now down to four (4). T.I.'s guidance with herbal treatments have taken the place of many of the prescriptions. As a result of my experiences with T.I., my spirit is now one of hope and enlightenment. This hope and enlightenment comes from the realization that there is another way to treat health issues without conventional drugs which lead to other health problems. I hope this testimony will encourage others to try the guidance of T.I. Bishop who will certainly have your best interest at heart. --Penny, Nashville, TN I came to Breath of Life tired and overworked. I confess I am not good at taking care of myself. TI, with intensely personal and spiritual attention, assisted in answering dozens of miscellaneous questions regarding my diet, nutrition, and health habits. Right away she asked me the three areas of health where I would like to see results. I have seen progress in each of these areas. One of the first things I found out is that I had parasites!! Ugh! I was disgusted! But TI assured me that many people do, and that they are the cause of some of the systems in my body being off-balance. After we cleared them up, I had lost 5-6 pounds, and was fitting into my clothes again. I also made the decision to go off sugar and yeast, and felt a considerable difference. My body responded to essential oils, which I take for depression and muscular pain. So many people just take lots of vitamins without really knowing whether or not they need them. She can help you know what YOUR body needs, because everyone is different! What I like about her services is that you are working as a team. With most doctors, I go in complaining of a pain or ailment, and they just prescribe something to treat the symptoms, sometimes not even knowing what my body really needs or how it will respond. Several antibiotics I have taken have actually made me sicker than I already was when I went into the office!! With homeopathy, the approach is to go for the source of the problem. TI almost always has some kind of hunch about why something is off balance, so that if one thing doesn't work, we can change course and move in a different direction. I know what I am allergic to, and what kinds of things haven't worked in the past, so we can quickly rule out certain hypotheses. The process may take a little longer, but the effects are gentler on the body, and monitored closely for results. I am no doctor, but I love being able to take part in attending to my health and well-being. It's not just imagined results either! You can actually see where your imbalances are by looking at the monitor as she tests various body systems, such as digestive system, neurological system, etc. This approach is preventative, too, as maintaining good health automatically minimizes the time I spend in the doctor's office for the inevitable viruses and flu. TI is generous with her attention to detail. I have left many questions on e-mail for her and always have the answer within 24 hours. I can't say enough! What is more important than having a mentor that guides you and the members of your family, along with your input, into health and long life? -- Debbie, Franklin, TN I am thrilled to recommend TI and Breath of Life. My husband and I moved to middle Tennessee four years ago to work in youth ministry with middle school and high school students. For much of my life, I have struggled with GI problems, both hereditary and nutritionally related. After moving to Tennessee, I saw my problems worsening. In addition to digestive concerns, my immune system also suffered in the move. Since I was working with students, I found myself catching every virus, ear infection and strep infection I was exposed to. It seemed I was in to see my doctor almost once a month getting antibiotics. On a recommendation from a friend, I went to see TI. My concerns were improving my overall nutrition, strengthening my immune system, and working on some of the issues with my colon. Throughout the next two years, I was faithful in seeing her about every 6 weeks. Through her computer testing, TI recommended several vitamin supplements and homeopathic remedies. Over the next 2 years, I saw HUGE improvements in my immune system. In the past year, I have not had ONE infection needing antibiotics. I also saw the problems with my GI system steadily improve and seldom see symptoms of my illness. It is amazing to see how the body can improve! I am so glad that I followed my friend's suggestion to see TI. I have also referred several friends and family to Breath of Life. I would encourage anyone who has health concerns or who just desires to improve their overall health to see TI. --Courtney, Franklin, TN I came to T.I. a total mess. I was fed up with modern medicine and being treated as a case rather than an individual. I was put on the infertility track that every couple trying to get pregnant is plopped into. And it didn’t work. I finally ended up at T.I.’s door. She completely turned my body around. I am having regular periods for the first time in my life—an issue the doctors had never been able to solve. There were a lot of other issues that needed correcting, but the irregularity of my cycles was the most frustrating. Obviously getting pregnant still remains my goal, but for the first time I feel like I’m on the right track! --H.C., Franklin, TN. I could tell by the look on her face that something was not right. I had known it for some time but when T.I. asked me to get up out of my chair and walk around her home just so she could get me to register a reading, it confirmed my fears; I was practically dead! My levels were so low across the board that she prayed about where to begin. She humbly attributes her gift of healing to Jehovah Rapha, the Master Physician, who led her to start with issues of the heart. She mixed up a "brew" as I call it, consisting of soothing oils and cleansing herbs sure to ease the chest pains and shortness of breath I'd been experiencing. From there, she focused on my allergies, which had been a life long battle. Now, I'm so happy to be using past tense words to describe the struggle, which has diminished significantly over the 4 years since I discovered Breath of Life. Also, blood sugar problems and thyroid malfunctions are all under control---I am on my way to optimum health, thanks to T.I.'s ministry. After visits with T.I., I would often see a conventional doctor, only to find the same results T.I. did for a fraction of the cost. In fact, I found T.I.'s alternative method to be even more accurate in many cases, such as the bacterial infection I dealt with last year. She has also enabled me and my husband to deal with our children's health problems intelligently with preventative, natural remedies in the early stages. Our daughter, who was adopted from India at the age of 4, came with her own set of issues. T.I. would suspect some cause for the symptom and hit the nail on the head time after time. She patiently educates and instructs us so we feel empowered and hopeful. Since I was a young child, I was emotionally depressed. After finally taking a written test at our family practitioner's office, I found it had reached a new level of severity. T.I. partnered with our doctor in the treatment of the depression, which was accompanied by suicidal thoughts. For the last 3 months, I have not had the desire to end it all, but a growing wellness I can only call peace. My quality of life has improved (how do you measure it?? 100%? 1000%?)-- I cannot put a value on good health. I'm so thankful that T.I. is doing what she's doing. Breath of Life is an answer to my prayers. --Karthi M, Franklin, TN My story begins about a year ago (last Spring): All fall and winter I had been in and out of the doctor’s office with a series of infections ranging from strep throat, to sinus, to bladder. The doctors prescribed an array of antibiotics for me. I was also suffering from joint pain in my wrists, knees, and shoulders. The slightest strain or activity left me exhausted. I went to bed tired and woke up tired (I later learned that this is Chronic Fatigue). I also had to write everything down to help me remember things. For the past nine years, I had suffered from extreme pain in my right wrist. I was convinced that it was Carpel-tunnel. I was very concerned that my Faux Painting business was going to be impossible to continue, so I decided to go to the Bone and Joint Clinic for treatment of my wrist. X-rays and MRI showed no Carpel Tunnel but they did detect Arthritis. At about the same time, I experienced a strange dizzy spell where I saw zig zag flashing lights. This really scared me. As soon as the episode stopped, I went to the Walk-in Clinic. The doctor said that what I had described sounded like a Migraine. She prescribed medication but also decided to run tests. My mother had died of a brain tumor so we wanted to do a brain MRI. She also ran several blood tests. I am very grateful to her for being thorough. The tests revealed that I was suffering from a relapse of Mononucleosis that I had first contracted when I was fifteen. She told me to rest for a couple of weeks and I should feel better. Several weeks went by and I still did not feel any better. I went back in to see the doctor about two months later. They ran more tests which revealed that I had some sort of arthritic auto immune disease. The doctor could not give me any more information and referred me to a rheumatologist. Rheumatologists are very busy people. It takes about two months to get an appointment with one. I made my appointment but decided to do some research on my own. I went on WebMD and found a product called Monobrex. This did help with my energy, but I still felt sick. By this stage I was really in despair. I felt helpless, hopeless, frustrated, and overwhelmed. I prayed for healing and asked friends at church to join me. That is when things began to change. While I was still waiting to get in with the Rheumatologist, I made an appointment for the family to see a new dentist who was closer to home than our previous dentist. By the grace of God he just happened to be a holistic dentist. When Dr. Warden saw me he was very concerned about how sick I looked. My glands were all swollen and my skin color was grayish. Despite the fact that I had a cavity that needed to be filled, he refused to attend to it because he felt that I was too sick. He said that I looked like a “tired Mom.” Dr. Warden was the first person to introduce me to the concept of nutritional healing. He told me to cut out all sugar and white starchy foods in order to allow my immune system to get stronger. He also taught me that the cereal that I was eating for breakfast (thinking that it was healthy) was actually causing me to crave carbs. He showed me what he eats for breakfast and recommended that I try it: A shake made with Whey Protein Powder and milk or soy milk. I took his words to heart and began eating differently. I began to feel better very quickly. That meeting sparked my interest in nutritional healing and I wanted to learn more. I was in Borders Bookstore and my eyes fell upon a book: Adrenal Fatigue by Wilson. I thumbed through it and it made so much sense that I bought it. This book talks about some of the same things that Dr. Warden had said. Two weeks after meeting Dr. Warden I returned with one of the girls. He was so impressed by the change in my coloring that he almost did not recognize me! My interest in nutritional healing soon developed into a passion. I have done extensive reading on the subject and have acquired a nice personal library. I have felt God’s presence very strongly over the past six or seven months. I imagine Him taking me by the hand and leading me to the people and knowledge that is helping to heal me. The next person that I felt led to contact was TI Bishop, certified nutritional counselor. She had been a client of mine a few years ago and several people had told me that I should go see her. When I began to experience symptoms that reminded me of the bladder infection that I had been treated for several weeks earlier, I called T.I. in an effort to avoid anti-biotics. Using an electro-dermal screening machine (this scans internal organs along the acu-puncture meridians), she found that I did have micro organisms in my kidneys and bladder and that both organs were inflamed. She told me to go home and rest, and she gave me a blend of essential oils to rub on my tummy and soak with a hot compress along with a homeopathic tincture. My symptoms improved and I decided to continue seeing TI so that she could help me improve. She found that I needed more vitamin C and Magnesium. She also recommended that I take Melatonin to help me sleep. She recommended that I take an array of supplements including one called “adrenal support” to help aid in the healing process. The two month wait for the rheumatologist was finally up. I went to see him, feeling much better than I did when I first made the appointment. My joints really did not bother me much anymore. I told him how I had given up sugar and white flour products. I listed all of the supplements that I was taking. He listened to my case history and reviewed the data from the blood tests. He tested me for the fibromyalgia tender points and found that I fit the profile in many ways. He told me that the condition was caused by sleep deprivation and problems with the adrenal glands secreting too much cortisol. I told him that I wanted to continue the nutritional route toward healing and not use medication. He sent me home with several pamphlets on Fibromyalgia, but did not prescribe any medication or schedule a follow-up visit with him. Over the past eight months, God has continued to lead me on this journey. The healing process has been slow, but steady. There have been many times over the past few months where I have thought that I was better only to suffer a “flair-up.” I have had to learn to pace myself and not get too busy or over-whelmed with projects. Releasing the “rat race” pace that I used to keep and replacing it with a gentler pace that allows time for rest and relaxation has been very beneficial. Nourishing my body with fresh fruits and vegetables, as well as lean protein and fiber has encouraged the healing process. Lubricating the joints with essential fatty acids contained in Flax and Olive oils was a big help. Detoxifying my joints, glands, and fatty tissues of accumulations of paint solvents, metals, and micro organisms has been critical!!! My diet continues to be refined the more that I learn about nutritional healing. At the end of this letter you will find a list of books that were helpful. My new friend, Jina, who had contacted me to learn about faux painting, actually taught me a great deal about juicing. She has helped several friends and relatives recover from cancer and other debilitating diseases with fresh juices. The difference between fresh juice and canned or bottled is profound. Only fresh juices contain live enzymes. Enzymes are critical in the digestive process and the absorption of nutrients. Good nutrition leads to healing! Jina inspired me to read about juicing and to improve my breakfast shake. This is my current recipe: POWER WELLNESS SHAKE Organic ingredients. 1 cup soy milk 1 tbs Miso 1 tbs yogurt 1 tbs Flaxseeds 1 tbs flaxseed oil 1 tbs olive oil 1 stalk celery ½ peeled cucumber 2 slices beet 1 handful baby spinach 1 handful baby carrots 1 handful blueberries Prepare in Vita-Mix blender for about 1 minute. Most people think I am nuts after I tell them about my breakfast shake. It really doesn’t taste that bad. A more palatable recipe that I make for my family with the Juiceman Jr. ($50 at Walmart) is 1 pound of baby carrots, 3 slices of pineapple, and 2 apples. If this is too much effort, there is an alternative: Wolfberry Juice. Wolfberries grow in Mongolia where people often live past 100 yrs free of cancer, arthritis, and other debilitating diseases. A few companies are importing it as a “super food.” The company that was the first to import it and package it as a juice calls it “Ninja Red.” According to their promotional materials, great care has been taken to preserve the nutrients in the packaging process. Third party testing by Brunswick Laboratories’ S-ORAC test shows that it offers excellent protection against superoxide free radicals. Promotional material claims that “NingXia Red is packed with the nutritional abundance of wolfberries: powerful polysaccharides, 18 amino acids, 21 trace minerals, 6 essential fatty acids, vitamins B1, B2, B6, C, and E, protein, and beta-carotene.” For more information about this juice, go to http://www.youngliving.com. I decided to subscribe to this company because TI Bishop has had great success in using several of their products to help her clients. She did caution me, however, that it is a “multi-level” organization with some controversy surrounding it. I usually avoid anything like that, but I was very impressed with the educational materials. My sponsor number is 876465. This number will give you access to discounted prices. After eight months of prayer and nutritional support, I feel better than when I was fifteen years old! My flare-ups are occurring farther apart, and I seem to rebound more rapidly. I feel happy, strong, and energetic. I want to celebrate everyday! I hope that the information that I’ve shared is beneficial to you or anyone that could use it. --Anna Aycock, Brentwood, Tn. |
