I would like to share with you some information about stomach cancer. Once again I will probably bring up things that are not normally talked about. For now, I will not talk about what causes cancer, but try to explain how cancer works - and perhaps why it happens... I would like to share with you a very unusual experiment that Dr. Hamer did many years ago in his quest to discover more about stomach cancer and to better understand what causes it. Dr. Ryke Geerd Hamer (German New Medicine) took 2 test tubes and put even pieces of meat and a fluid containing nutrients in each one.

I have worked with many years with people who have wanted to ‘give up’ smoking, these people have expressed many reasons as to ‘why they smoke’, ranging from it’s a ‘bad habit’ to my grandfather smoked’ to name just two.

Whether it be at home in the office both professional and personal boundaries are important. So what do I mean by boundaries. Understanding what is expected of you and what you expect from someone else, knowing what you will accept and will not accept when it comes to how people speak to you, how far you will allow them into your personal space. As humans it is very easy as we get caught up with living life, working our chosen job or career that we tend to forget what our needs and others needs are and what our role is in fulfilling these needs.

I’ve been watching the Olympics and I cant help but be in awe of the athletes. Their commitment, drive, focus and determination is so inspiring to me.

Maybe its not in athletics and we don’t compete with the world but that doesn’t make our gifts and accomplishments any less important.

The photo in the newspaper tugged at my heart. Something about the expression in the eyes. Still I resisted, not sure I wanted the commitment of a dog. Something urged me to just ‘take a look’. For several years, I had held in the back of my mind, the image of a loving, friendly, small and clean dog that could help me in my healing business; someone who would motivate me to get some exercise, and be a great companion. The cats were great companions, and protective, in their own ways, but I wanted someone who could go places with me and bring joy into people’s hearts.

Remember back to when you were a kid, wanting to draw, read a book, when you were playing in your backyard or in the playground at school. Did you give any deep thought behind what you were doing? You would just do things that you would find fun or you liked doing. You would build sandcastles at the beach, play with bugs in the garden, play teacher on your blackboard at home.

Life is full of stressful events. When you encounter a threatening situation, your body reacts with a stress response that helps you avoid or make it through the situation. The stress response initiates a cascade of changes that tenses up your muscles, speeds up breathing and heartbeat, increases blood pressure, and revs up energy production. This “flight-or-fight” reaction helped our ancestors deal with life or death circumstances, such as escaping from pouncing lions or fighting marauding wolves in the wild.
