Health and Wellness

"Beloved, I wish above all things that you may prosper and be in health, even as your soul prospers." (3 John 2)

Some things in life you just shouldn’t take advantage of and your health is one of them!

Are you aware that the overwhelming majority of what you eat everyday is poisoning you?

Did you know that the medical profession, in partnership with the pharmaceutical industry, has a huge interest in keeping you sick rather than healing you?

The drug war we need to fight against is pharmaceuticals…which are being advertised directly to the consumer, pushing their use to an all time high ~ are actually the cause of illness and disease climbing to near epidemic levels.

There are many books, CD’s, DVD's and websites that promote education about natural healing therapies.

The thing that gets me is that people think the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is protecting them. It isn’t! What the FDA is doing and what the people think its doing are as different as night and day.

I applied for a job in which I had to have a complete physical and they discovered I had hepatitis C that I got from a blood transfusion when I had a hysterectomy. That meant liver biopsies, the hepatitis shots, and some kind of treatment…

After the biopsy the doctors wanted to treat me with the Interferon treatments. I refused, saying I will fix it with the help of God and change my diet. They told me that it was impossible to repair the liver. I told them, NOTHING is impossible with God.

My journey begin fifteen years ago and continues to this day. I can say with proof, my liver is healed!! Today there is no sign of liver damage or hepatitis!

It is because of God's healing touch and strength. I really discipline myself daily to eat foods that are good for me and drink a lot of water, herbal teas and tinctures. I do liver/gallbladder cleanses, colonics, exercise, get lots of fresh air and take my supplements.

There are natural treatments that work that are not approved by the FDA. Treatments that are inexpensive (compared to pharmaceuticals), all~natural, painless, quick, and they work!

Look at how doctors and teachers often attribute different behavior to attention deficit disorders and want to prescribe medications. (Remember that the medical profession, in partnership with the pharmaceutical industry, has a huge interest in keeping you sick rather than healing you).

Did you know that Ritalin and many other ADD/ADHD drugs are Schedule II drugs? They are in the same category as Cocaine, Morphine, Opium, and Oxycodone. This means that these drugs have a high abuse potential with severe physical and psychiatric dependencies. In fact ADD/ ADHD prescriptions for children in the U.S. have jumped six times in the last decade. About 10% of kids in public elementary schools are taking these prescription drugs. Even if you wanted to get your child off these drugs you would have to consult with your doctor first. They are too powerful to stop “cold turkey.”

What is AD/ADHD?

In today’s classroom of 30 students 1-3 children will have Attention Deficit Disorder/Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. ADD/ADHD is a neurological disorder that makes it hard for an individual to control their behavior. The difference between the two is that a person with ADD is your quiet daydreamer having problems staying focused on anything while a person with ADHD has a more disruptive behavior. And boys are diagnosed with ADHD 3 more times often than girls.

What Causes ADD/ADHD?

ADD/ADHD has NOTHING to do with intelligence. The majority of these individuals are highly intelligent with above average IQ’s. About one fourth of ADHD have serious learning disabilities such as reading comprehension, listening skills, or working with numbers. A major cause is poor nutrition resulting in a deficiency in their B-Vitamins, Minerals, Omegas, and especially Amino Acids (Neurotransmitters). Other causes are brain trauma, metal toxicity (vaccines, mercury, lead, aluminum, etc), food and environmental allergies, and yeast overgrowth. To better understand a holistic approach for ADD/ADHD you need understand the roles of neurotransmitters. You should also become familiar with the common neurotransmitters that these individuals are lacking.

Is there a cure for ADD/ADHD?

A doctor’s method of treatment is by using drug stimulants to decrease impulsivity, hyperactivity, and increase attention. Drugs always come with side effects. ADD/ADHD side effects are problems sleeping, stunted growth, loss of appetite, vitamins and mineral depletions, headaches, liver failure, heart failure, suicide and much more. . And before you realize it, you or your child will be on a list of medications for headaches, sleep, facial tics, and depression. Do you think by adding more medication that you are curing the root of the problem? Is this the price your willing to pay? A child’s brain and body are still developing until they are in their 20’s. Their undeveloped bodies may be able to handle the drugs in the beginning, but eventually it will take its toll. ADD/ADHD is a collection of many symptoms not just one. So treatment should address multiple aspects of an individual’s life: Diet, High Quality Bioavailability Supplements, Behavior Treatment, Tutoring, Self Esteem, Sports, and Parent Education.

What you need to know about ADD/ADHD medications

Medications do not go to the root of the problem, instead they only mask or reduce the symptoms. Medications are stimulant drugs that attempt to manipulate neurotransmitters by modifying the rate of release of dopamine and norepinephrine. For me ADD/ADHD drugs are a quick easy fix because they make it easier to control one’s behavior. I have the right to inform you that you may not have to pay cover at the door but you will have to pay down the road. One’s focus and hyperactivity may instantly be controlled once they start medication. But 3 -6 months down the road, you paid sufficiently with the side effects from these drugs. And eventually you will become a slave to the medication. Doctors use to be required to do liver tests every six months because these medications can cause liver failure. The pharmaceutical lobbyists were able to get that changed because they argued that it can take more than 10 years of use to cause liver failure. But doctors are now prescribing these drugs as early as 3 years old!

Which Liquid Vitamin is the Best for ADD/ADHD?

If your health is important to you and your family then you should care about the quality of the nutritional supplements that you take. High quality and absorption supplements are of vital importance for ADD/ADHD since they are deficient in their vitamins and minerals. Plus ADHD burn through their water soluble vitamins (B vitamins) even quicker and are HIGHLY deficient in their minerals (calcium & magnesium; explains their hyperactivity)! When selecting a nutritional supplement, vitamin quality is of the utmost importance! Keep in mind the more expensive the supplements the better the quality. You will get exactly what you pay for! Because vitamins are not approved by the FDA, they are not regulated, so you can not be sure that just because the label says you are getting a specific amount of a nutrient doesn’t necessarily mean that is what you are getting. This is a common problem you find when you purchase your supplements at discount stores, on the internet and mail-out order companies. Because they are competing on cost they have the cheapest packaging, delivery, stabilization, are usually cheap synthetics, and may even contain additives which get in the way of absorption giving you the less than desirable results. There have been concerns that these types of supplements can actually cause more harm to your body that good.

Pills vs. Biometics

Pills are difficult to swallow and poorly absorbed by the body ~ if at all!

"We know children are the future of our country. We must provide the critical tools their bodies need to function, and research shows that children's minds are powerfully affected by superior nutrition. Children won't take hard~to~swallow pills, and poorly absorbed liquids are ineffective. Our products taste great and utilize a patented delivery system that ensures the body can use more of what goes in."

Dr. Russell Thomas Ph.D., clinical psychologist, and author of "Turbo Charged Childhood: Fresh Hope for Raising Children with Attention Disorders," agrees. "In my 27 years of experience dealing with attention and hyperactivity disorders, nutrition has proven to be critical in treating behavioral issues. Biometic products work because of their superior bioavailability. They offer a distinct advantage for getting children to focus on tasks, and improve their mood both inside and outside of school."

Biometics is piloting a nutrition program in conjunction with Dr. Thomas to inform others about the role of nutrition in daily life, and the effect it can have on education. The Scholastic Enhancement Program features five of Biometics' iique products which are designed to work together to ensure optimal nutrition, mental clarity and resorative sleep.

God wants us to burn on, not burn out! Burnouts come from physical and emotional exhaustion, especially as a result of stress. Stress depletes our bodies, our immune systems become weak, and sickness, even depression, can set in. Are you suffering from burnout?

Manifestations include extreme fatigue, headaches, insomnia, gastrointestinal problems, tension, nerves tied in knots, inability to relax, and no medical explanation for the symptoms. Other symptoms may be emotional exhaustion (crying easily), anger, negativity, irritability, cynicism, and bitterness about the blessings of others.

Burnout causes you to be "out of control" and no longer producing good fruit. Ignoring God's laws causes burnout. You can’t overwork your mind, emotions or your body and not eventually pay the price for excess. Whose pace are you moving at? Is it the pace God has set for you or someone else's pace? Are you stressed-out from trying to keep up with everyone else? Are you living under the stress of competition and comparison? Are you a perfectionist with unrealistic goals?

"Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus Christ our Lord"...(2 Peter 1:2)
