Reactions Change With Time

Submitted by mbrizman on Wed, 03/31/2010 - 16:51

So interesting I had several conversations today, as I do on many days, about people being able to tolerate foods or supplements that they once could not at all.

It is so interesting to reflect back on the conversations that have transpired with those same people in which they expressed such fear around never being able to again tolerate certain things or ever improve at all. When the day comes, it seems that it fits itself into life so nicely and neatly as if it were never a problem before. it is often hard to remember when it was a problem. It is really exciting to be able to assist someone in making those steps forward and then going on to bigger and better ones.

Agave Sweetened Chocolate

Submitted by mbrizman on Tue, 03/30/2010 - 09:20

I met someone the other day and had an interesting conversation. Sometimes the most unexpected conversations come up in the least expected places.

I was at a friend's house who had visitors from out of town and those friends have friends here that have a store in Los Angeles for something completely different than chocolate. However, they expanded their store to include agave sweetened chocolates, and now it is growing in popularity.

So, I thought I would post their store here so that local people could know about it, but also, I understand, they ship!

Some More Scoop On Poop

Submitted by mbrizman on Sun, 03/28/2010 - 05:12

I don't agree with everything in this article, as many of you will quickly realize as you read it. I don't advocate, vegetarianism, fasting, or colonics. I have seen too many people become ill from all three. Some of them have taken two years to rebalance in the clinic after much suffering.

However, much of the clinical information here is really good, and I absolutely agree with it. It is nice to hear from another source.

We were meant to eat, assimilate, and excrete. Much of our health begins and ends with the digestive tract. Malfunctioning within this system leads to chronic illness, including chronic mental health issues in many cases.

Die-Off

Submitted by mbrizman on Fri, 03/19/2010 - 14:15

There are so many variations to die-off that it is not relevant to compare or expect your reactions to be like someone else's. Some people will experience a tremendous amount of symptoms-nausea, headache, fatigue, cloudy urination, sore throat. While someone else may experience a little loose stool, a little gas, but otherwise feel an increase in energy and increase in well being.

Other people may have lots of acne, while some experience an improvement in skin right away. Some experience hair loss, while others none at all. Some lose weight, others don't shift in weight, and in some cases there is weight gain, although, that is less common.

Are Taking Homeopathics and Other Supplements OK in Treatment?

Submitted by mbrizman on Wed, 03/17/2010 - 09:34

I don't read the board, as all of you know. But, someone brought to my attention a couple hot topics. So, I need to comment on what I heard was said bc it needs to be clarified.

1) Is it OK to take other homeopathics or supplements if you are treating with me?

ONLY AND ONLY IF I HAVE SAID IT IS OK IN YOUR CASE. IN MOST CASES, THE ANSWER IS AN ABSOLUTE NO.
IN A FEW CASES, I HAVE MADE EXCEPTIONS FOR VARIOUS REASONS AND CIRCUMSTANCES. DOING THIS CAN CAUSE HUGE PROBLEMS.

2) Is the sunscreen ok to use on your body and not your face?

MY SUNSCREEN WAS DESIGNED FOR THE ENTIRE BODY INCLUDING THE FACE. OTHER SUNSCREENS OFTEN CAUSE MANY SYMPTOMS-PLEASE AVOID USING THEM!

Opening Our Eyes When We Shop!

Submitted by mbrizman on Tue, 03/16/2010 - 12:22

I must admit, I was kind of stunned watching this video, and this will change the way I shop and how much I am reading fine print even more than I was doing before.

This is crazy and is a must read!
