February 2010
Over the years, I have seen so so many people who have been so imbalanced that their body exhibited a plethora of signs and symptoms that seemed relentless.
Many of these patients have been the recipient of incredibly unempathetic remarks with accusations
of the symptoms being in their head.
While it is true that one cannot separate the mind from the body, and that there are definite connections between the two, I was really put off by reading a most recent diagnosis.
A patient found this product and recommends it for a great hair result.
It will probably be too intense for new patients, but may be better for
people who have reached list #3.

Someone sent this to me yesterday and I really liked it. It goes along with my constant
advise to keep things positive and in focus. Because what you think and what you do really
makes a difference in more ways than you may know!
Watch your thoughts;
They become words
Watch your words;
They become actions.
What your actions;
They become habits.
Watch your habits;
They become character.
Watch your character.
It Becomes your destiny.
I am always experimenting with baking and because I cannot stand following recipes,
I often dont get a good result. Although sometimes it is outstanding!
Yesterday, I made a decadent chocolate cake that I need to try and remember-so
here it goes:
3 cups flour
1 cup oil
1 package sunspire grain sweetened chocolate chips
1 jar wax orchard's fudge sauce
3 eggs
some milk add to create cake batter consistency
1 tsp baking powder
Stir well and bake at 350 until done
As usual, the support group meeting was filled with great questions and great
conversation. We spoke about many different topics and people had a chance
to "connect", which, is always wonderful.
I want to add some thoughts with regard to things that have come up lately.
During these meetings and via private emails, many times people ask me
about an enormous amount of other kinds of health protocols and programs.
I am going to post this based on my thoughts and experience not on any factual
information. However, I do want to share my thoughts because I think they are interesting.
Last week someone asked me what I thought about the relationship between getting
in better balance and the health of the teeth and gums. And, if I thought that intervention
was a good idea. I shared some of the things with her that I am about to say here.
I can't believe another month went by so fast! The support Group meeting this month will be next Friday the 12th at 4 pm Pacific.
I look forward to talking to all of you!
I dont know how many of these are around. But, for those of you who are local, this is good to know!

But, be careful of some yoghurt places that are "sugar free" mostly that means splenda, and sometimes they offer some with splenda some with agave, you have to ask!
One of my patients sent this in and wanted to share:) I recommend subbing in agave or maple syrup in place of the sugar. Otherwise they sound really tasty. If you want, you can even use raw cocoa powder instead of regular. Just make sure it is unsweetened.
BLACK BEAN BROWNIES
I often serve these with homemade ice cream, so delicious!
And for those of you who are able to eat chocolate and treats, I found this book. I have not read it, so I cannot guarantee there are not ingredients that I don't advise, but, it looks good and RAW chocolate is even better than not.
You might want to check it out and see what you think.
