Never Give Up ....
I believe that whatever we are
challenged by in our lives, God gave us the mechanism
within us to heal it.
My Philosophy:
I believe that whatever we are challenged by in our
lives, God gave us the mechanism within us to heal it.
There is literally a blueprint for healing held in your
DNA that has all the information your mind and body
needs to heal. I believe that we created illness to
teach us the capacity we have to exist in difficult
states and to turn us to a higher power to seek help.
Calling upon our own energy or the energy of the heavens
activates the healing powers that lay dormant within us.
As you put your attention on light and truth, light and
truth awakens within you. Don’t wait until you feel
better to think well. Your mind is a higher power than
your emotions and your mind can raise the vibration of
your emotional state as you clear away the lies and
illusions you carry and call forth the truth of who god
created you to be.
The God I believe in did not cast us down here to live
in a state of despair to die in that state. I believe he
guaranteed our ability to succeed by endowing us with
all that we need to create success. For most people
being depressed is familiar.
Feeling good is not. Often we choose what is familiar
over what feels good because we know how to exist there
and it feels safe. I believe we live at a time on the
planet where it is becoming increasingly more difficult
to stay depressed. It will require more work to stay in
depression than heal it.
The real challenge for us as humans is no longer “how
much can we suffer?” It is “how much joy can we hold and
how long can we hold it?” Consider the possibility you
chose into and created your experience of depression
just to see yourself overcome it. As big as you have
known depression is as big as you can now know joy.
Chose to become one of God’s miracles and clear and
heal what is no longer serving you. God bless you, I
know you can do it.
I am a firm
believer in Omega 3 Fish oils for minimizing my Lupus
symptoms, and, although I do take fish oil supplements
daily, I also switched to a diet of mostly fish only
about three years ago.
The results are fascinating -- and I saw (and am still
seeing!) improvements in my quality of life, much less
pain, inflammation and fatigue, which I find, are some
of the most debilitating symptoms of lupus.
I went from being severely affected by Lupus in my daily
life to actually joining the gym and noticing a huge
difference in what I could do, simply by increasing my
intake of fatty fish such as
salmon,
tuna, mackerel,
lake trout, herring, sardines. ect.

Since I don't get outside much ( especially not in the
summer sun) I was fortunate enough to find an
online
store where I order all of my fresh fish requirements,
monthly. Whispy.com has now partnered with
Mike Mondello's SeaBear Smokehouse
in order to educate our Internet audience about Omega 3
fish oils and the great benefits and to provide the
best
fresh seafood in the US at special
discount prices.
I've
also posted several of my favorite
seafood recipes in
our
Community Recipe Collections.
If you are not able to get enough Omega 3 in your diet
through fish alone, you may want to discuss the
possibility of supplementing your diet with a quality
Omega 3 soft gel with your local health care
professional.
Over the past 40 years, an increasing number of
physiological functions have been attributed to omega-3
fatty acids, including movement of calcium and other
substances into and out of cells, relaxation and
contraction of muscles, inhibition and promotion of
clotting, regulation of secretion of substances that
include digestive enzymes and hormones, control of
fertility, cell division, and growth. In addition,
omega-3 fatty acids may play an important role in brain
development and function. Some evidence has suggested
that omega-3 fatty acids in the diet may protect against
heart attack and stroke, as well as certain inflammatory
diseases like arthritis, lupus, and asthma. The major
dietary sources of omega-3 fatty acids in the U.S.
population are fish, fish oil, vegetable oils
(principally canola and soybean), walnuts, wheat germ,
and some dietary supplements.
