I feel lucky that I grew up in the 50's and 60's. 
What I didn't grow up with was

• Roundup - A glyphosate-based, organophosphate weedkiller that is one of the most widely used pesticides in the world. In 2019, Monsanto was found liable for causing cancer in a school groundskeeper through exposure to Roundup
• PFAS - A family of around 12,000 chemicals that are global pollutants and have been found in the blood of most Americans. They are linked to cancer and other serious health effects and contaminate the drinking water of about 200 million people in the US.
• Styrene - A petroleum by-product used to make Styrofoam, plastics, rubber, and resins. It can increase the risk of cancer and other diseases.
• Trichloroethylene (TCE) - A toxic, cancer-causing chemical used in stain removers, degreasers, and many industrial processes. The EPA classifies TCE as carcinogenic to humans by all routes of exposure.
• Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) - man-made organic chemicals with many uses that do not break down in the environment
• Dioxin (see 188 Toxic Air Pollutants on this list. )

To learn about the many products you might be using that contain asbestos, check out this list. 

Of course we did have heavy metals that came in with the Industrial Revolution like lead, mercury, arsenic, and cadmium; however,  more recent industrial uses of Beryllium, Hexavalent chromium, and Thallium have caused major problems. 
​
So in the past 30 years we've learned a lot and we've paid the price for the use of these substances. (see the list below).

That is why I am so EXCITED to share that I know of a way to easily and quickly rid your body of toxins.  It's so safe you can even use it with infants  - and there are many reports of forever chemicals being found in umbilical cord blood. 
Please contact me to learn how to get started. It really is easy. ​

Learn about the toxins in our environment, how they affect our bodies and what you can do about it.  

It’s that time of year when you may just resign yourselves to an influx of colds and flu. So many children sharing books, supplies, toys and germs.

I like to be prepared with completely natural and clean products from the Earth, and energy that I know will be protective.  
So, in addition to the energy clearing, house clearing and emotional energy release that can be lurking under any dis-ease, I look to the Earth for natural protection.

Here are some of the items I use.
doTerra Essential OIls:

1. OnGuard Blend kills bacteria, viruses and fungal infections better than other sanitizers. Get it in an oil, a hand sanitizer spray, oral gels, throat lozenges, and household cleaners.
2. OnGuard+ GelCaps contain the additional oils of Oregano, Melissa and Black Pepper. This is my go-to at the first sign of chills or sore throat.
   Find these oils here or sign into your doTerra account.

Another way to give little and big bodies extra immune support is by getting rid of heavy metals, organic toxins and micro-plastics with Avini Products.

Cell Defneder’s Detoxolite™, the micronized and activated clinoptilolite zeolite that is in Avini Health’s products, is the world’ greatest systemic detoxifier. It removes heavy metals, volatile organic compounds and other toxins throughout the body. This improves overall health by eliminating competitive metals while stabilizing all of our metabolic functions. The zeolite does not stimulate the immune system, but allows it to function optimally by removing toxins, viruses, yeasts, bacteria, and fungi which can depress immune function and interfere with hormones. Additionally, heavy metals have been indicated in the inhibition or down-regulation of zinc finger proteins. These proteins are necessary for proper cell division and immune system response. The zeolite has been indicated in stabilizing zinc finger protein activation through the removal of inhibitory toxic heavy metals.

ZMUNITY Mushroom Blend Mushrooms have been used for health, wellness, and medicines for thousands of years. It has been known for along time that fungi produce potent bioactive compounds with medicinal properties. Classic examples of this fungal-derived class of medicines are antibiotics, such as Penicillin. It is therapeutically best to utilize a blend of several mushroom species, because “the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.” For one thing, it is easier for pathogens in the body to adapt and become resistant to one mushroom than to several. Secondly, each mushroom species has a unique arsenal of anti-infective and immunomodulating agents. These special agents include: Polysaccharides, Glycoproteins, Ergosterols, and Triterpenoids. These agents are precursors to the more complex compounds, beta glucans. It is the synergy between ALL of these elements that makes mushrooms so medicinally powerful when consumed as a whole food.

The mushroom blend utilized in Avini’s Zmunity are grown in a controlled environment in competition with each other. This allows the fungus to create incredibly high levels of beneficial biomolecules that include: antioxidants, fibers, and signaling molecules. To get the full benefit of these mushrooms, we only use a full spectrum extract of all seven mushrooms in the IAS blend.

The IAS Full Spectrum Mushroom Complex in Avini’s Zmunity is considered to be the most technologically advanced immune blend for use in dietary supplements on the market today. Featuring a combination of more than200 highly purified, immune-active high molecular heteropolysaccharides and Beta 1,3-1,6 triple right hand helix beta glucans, IAS is derived from seven closely related organisms—100% USDA certified organic, certified kosher, biotech lab cultivated, full spectrum, non-GMO:  Agaricus blazei (Sun), Lentinulaedodes (Shiitake), Grifola frondose (Maitake), Trametes v e r s i c o l o r (Tu r k e y Ta i l ) , Ganoderma lucidum (Reishi), Cordyceps militaris and Cordyceps sinensis (Caterpillar).

Full Spectrum mycoproducts are the complete fungal material consisting of all the biologically active components, including the mycelium, primordia, fruitbodies, and most importantly, the extracellular compounds produced throughout the entire life cycle of the organism. It is these extracellular compounds (compounds that are excreted outside of the cell and into the surrounding environment) that are responsible for the main medicinal properties known from the fungal kingdom. This includes all the antibiotic properties, antiviral properties, antifungal properties and all the other‘ survival’ compounds that the fungus produces to give itself an advantage over the competing bacteria and microbes in the highly competitive environment in which it lives. These secondary metabolites have opened up the frontiers of medicine, with such breakthroughs as antibiotics and cholesterol lowering drugs.

Avini Health’s NanoSilver   Silver, as a metal, is naturally toxic to viruses and bacteria; but it can also harm healthy human cells if it’s available as a discrete ion (individual atom). Most silver available on the market today contains silver ions in an atomic state that has no crystalline structure. Avini’s silver technology contains a nano-sized crystalline metallic core (7-10nm spheres) made of .9999 pure silver, surrounded by a silver-oxide coating (silver and oxygen combined together). This skin-like coating gives the silver its stability and unique properties unlike any other silver technology.

​Is the world feeling out of control - too much to handle?
Is it hard to get out of bed and face another day?

My work and my joy is to help you feel like a burden has been lifted - like life is easier, more fun.

I want you to feel like each day is better than the day before and life is worth living.

Everyone is unique so I look at the whole picture of your beautiful body and spirit.
If the body is burdened with toxins and dis-ease, that’s a good place to start. No one feels like skipping through life when their body is hurting or exhausted.
I work with several physical products to make detoxing quick and easy.
The product below is a great place to start.

[Want all the science? Then this is for you. ]

Then we look at the spirit - the emotional burden you might not even be aware you are carrying. We know that the subconscious is where the majority of emotions and beliefs are stored. We also know that our subconscious is pretty much in charge of all our decisions and actions.

I bet you thought you were consciously making every decision. You are, but your subconscious is dictating the choice possibilities. Your life experiences from birth, and even before that, as well as ancestral fears and beliefs that have been handed down on the DNA are all buried in the subconscious and pretty much running your life.

I can help you quickly identify these  buried energies and clear them out. We replace them with definitions of who you really are - powerful, joyful, brilliant ……

It’s so much fun to see my clients rediscover their amazingness. (real word!)
When you are ready to be everything you came here to be, I’m ready to help.

Love and light,

​Does it make you want to scream?!?
Why is losing weight so difficult?
Why does it work for some people and not others?

Have you heard of Toxic Obesity?
Turns out that our fat cells have a VERY important job. They store toxins especially when our kidneys and liver are overwhelmed and can’t detox fast enough.
They also hold onto these toxins very tightly because they know that if the toxins are released, your body could suffer. The more toxic you are, the more fat cells you need to protect your body by storing those excess toxins!

So what are Obesogens?
These are toxins that can cause epigenetic changes to our DNA that increase the risk for obesity. This change to our DNA can then be passed down to our children and grandchildren causing generations of obesity.

The good news is that we can make changes to our DNA by starting with Detoxification.  Then by decreasing our toxic burden, the fat cells can start to be burned for energy.  You also want to  make good choices in diet and exercise to help your body restore homeostasis and overall good balance.

To hear from an expert, check out his video of biochemist Rik Deitsch, a well recognized expert on detoxification and product formulation, as he explains how the body can release excess fat.
Thanks for reading and please share with people you love.
Much love and light coming your way.
