I had a very interesting conversation with a friend of mine who is a medical doctor, but also very committed to his own growth and healing in all areas of his life. I was frustrated because in spite of the extensive work I've done around issues of not feeling safe, I had once again dropped [...]

Dr. Kelly Brogan MD Dr. Kelly Brogan's new book is like the Listen To Your Gut version of understanding and healing depression.

Wow, I thought I understood the difference between blood types - until I watched this short, sharp video! I've had my blood tested countless times, received blood transfusions, birthed 3 healthy babies - all without fully understanding the basic framework of blood typing: This is how we should learn things in school!
Some of you may have seen this short video already - I created it years ago as a resource for people to watch whenever they were feeling down, discouraged, or when it seemed like their Healing Journey was taking forever. I just re-formatted it and uploaded it to YouTube so it's easier to watch and [...]
When I ask my family and friends why they continue to use cellphones and Wifi Internet, they reply, "Because I just don't FEEL it's bad, or dangerous." To be honest, when I use a cellphone, or iPad, or WiFi computer, I don't feel much either. And as good as I am at sensing energy, and [...]

Art by Hugo Patel Thompson In a recent video, I talked about the messaging system that exists between the body and the mind. My body communicates physical, emotional, and spiritual information that I need to know in order to be the healthiest, happiest person I can be. WHY does the body do this? [...]

When you have a chronic illness, or your health has been seriously compromised, you can become very afraid of other organisms invading your body. Especially organisms classed as parasites, viruses or infectious bacteria. However, the problem with not feeling safe, is that it really stresses your immune system! So although we have tried-and-tested protocols here [...]
Singer/songwriter Alanis Morissette shares insights about her Healing Journey in this excellent discussion with Oprah. Here are a few of my favorite, thought-provoking quotes from Alanis during the interview: "Art is cathartic, not healing." "Growth is distinct from healing."

Researchers at the University of Southern California published a paper in the International Journal of Cancer, back in 2001, concluding that women who frequently dye their hair were twice as likely to develop bladder cancer than those who abstain.

Did you know that the way you hold your body, sit, stand, and move your body through space, affects your hormone levels? Yes! Really.

(c) ESPN E60: The Turf War My two sons play soccer, my husband coaches soccer (and played himself until a couple years ago) and in our house there's been a lot of discussion about how the synthetic turf fields are really hard on the joints. In fact, this is the reason my husband quit [...]
My teenagers asked me whether vaping with the nicotine-free vape is safe. If you have a teenager, then you know that vaping is the new 'big thang' and kids have even been allowed to vape at some schools. They can also buy it themselves at the local gas station or 7/11. So is it safe? [...]

Jini wrote a blog post about a Crohn's clinical trial back in late December 2014 and the same company, Qu Biologics, has now opened a clinical trial for Ulcerative Colitis.

I recently received this email from a reader, asking about pendants that shield against WiFi radiation: "I understand that there are “medals” one can buy now. It is worn around the neck and its purpose is to inhibit the effects of radio waves, microwave, cell tower waves, etc. upon our bodies. My medical doctor wears [...]
I have been asked for references to the healers I go to in Vancouver, Canada so many times, that I realized I should put these up as a blog post! Once I had a reader in Israel who flew all the way here just so she could rent a house for few weeks and make [...]
This short, sweet video follows a Swedish family who normally eats conventional (non-organic) food. Their urine is analyzed for chemicals and then they switch to entirely certified organic foods for 2 weeks. Then their urine is re-tested.

Here are my natural remedies for achalasia and dysphagia. Esophageal achalasia is a disorder which inhibits food from passing through the esophagus and also causes the lower esophageal sphincter from relaxing. The most common result of this disorder is difficulty swallowing but it can also cause regurgitation or chest pain. Dysphagia is the medical term [...]
In one of my presentations, I talked about how "not feeling safe" is usually at the root of most allergies and auto-immune disorders, and in that video I take you back to some possible childhood/infancy triggers. But here's the next step - once you've identified that you have a gut or visceral feeling of 'not [...]
Here's a common scenario for people with active Crohn's or Colitis: "I'm still at the hospital and I have a feeling I'll be here for a while. It's not my appendix. The CAT scan showed that I have an abscess in my small bowel. I'm on a liquid diet and they're giving me a lot [...]

*Updated May 2018: Absorb Plus Sweetened Chocolate is now available in the shoppe! I've been receiving a lot of feedback from readers lately asking about a chocolate version of the unsweetened Absorb Plus. There isn't an unsweetened chocolate flavor in the works as yet, but I can certainly understand as I'm rather partial to chocolate myself! So, [...]
As you walk your Healing Journey and you delve into not just the physical contributors to your dis-ease, but also the emotional contributors, I want to call your attention to one more source of healing: The animal world. As lowly humans, we often forget (or don't even realize) the interconnectedness of all beings. This can [...]
I just got back from a couple of weeks in Akumal; which is on the Caribbean side of Mexico. The resort we go to is particularly wonderful because it is owned by a local Mexican man and is built horizontally - all along the beach. So whether you're sleeping, or eating, or walking around, you [...]

*Updated September 2019 I received a message from a doctor about a patient of his who had his stomach removed due to cancer, and as a result had severe protein malabsorption. Because of this, the doctor was wondering if Absorb Plus could be assimilated by this patient. Now, we have lots of people missing parts [...]
If the whole complicated mess about food allergies, food intolerances, blood allergy testing, skin pinprick allergy testing and what that means - i.e. what tests you should have done, who you should listen to, what impact (really!) does this have on your health - is driving you crazy... Then be sure and join us as [...]
Most manufacturers include prebiotics (often Fructooligosaccharide - FOS or galacto-oligosaccharides) in their probiotic supplements, claiming that the prebiotics increase the potency and effectiveness of the probiotic (good bacteria). However, as many people with IBD or IBS have experienced, ingesting prebiotics often just leads to more gas and bloating! Interestingly, this recent study on adding prebiotics [...]
Have you ever wondered what blood food allergy tests actually mean? When you order an IGE or IGA test, to test your blood for food allergies - what exactly is being tested, what do the results mean, and how reliable are they? This is NOT a cheap test to have done (around $250-$300), so if [...]

We now have clinical trial evidence that a 14-day elemental diet is "highly effective" with an 80 - 84% success at eradicating small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) because: "Elemental diets have been shown to reduce enteric flora." Dr. Alison Siebecker has a lot of great information about SIBO [...]
UPDATE: My friend who received the original psychic prediction emailed the psychic back for further clarification about the cancer. However, due to the holidays, the psychic did not answer her right away. This gave my friend time to do what I suggested above - and she asked 3 of her closest friends what they thought [...]
I've recently learned about a new, experimental Crohn's treatment I want to tell you about. It involves stimulating the innate immune system to wake up, and clean up ALL pathogens in the body (kill all the bad bugs).

2019 UPDATE: Unfortunately, my dental clinic in Vancouver has now stopped using this machine. The problem they found is that many of microtubules branch off sideways (not just straight down), so the light/sound was not reaching the end of these sideways branches. Well, hopefully someone figures out how to grow teeth this century! We have [...]
A really great article on apple cider vinegar by Dr. Joseph Mercola is the inspiration for this blog post (and I excerpted a lot of his article here). But I had to do a bit of searching as many sources cite this first 2004 study - but no one (not even Mercola) gave the dosage! [...]
I have read Joseph Mercola's position on magnesium stearate - however I do find it interesting that he only started to speak out against magnesium stearate after he came out with his own supplement line. So it just makes me wonder, is it truly as much of a concern as he proposes, or is it [...]

My own mother suffered from recurring cystitis or bladder infections for years and kept having to see the doctor [...]
I recently had a reader who's doing well in his Healing Journey, but he still needs to gain about 15 pounds. He also still has to be careful about what he eats, so needs easily-tolerated, yet high nutrient foods. Notice I'm not just talking about calories - I'm talking about nutrition. Because we want to [...]
