My journey started 57 years ago in Hervey Bay raised on a pretty much self-sustaining property with the only electricity being the lights...for the first few years. We chopped wood for the stove and copper in order to cook and have hot water for all needs. Mum and Dad had scores of chooks and ducks and 1/2 acre of heavily covered land full of fruit and vegetables behind our ever-increasing in size stucco cottage which Dad and his stepgrandfather built. We also foraged the footpaths for fresh mushrooms and yabbies after the rain that we would then eat for breakfast. Dad was an avid fisherman and crabber so we were never without seafood in the house(: My mother's family had citrus orchards in Gayndah and provided the citrus to feed the 7 of us. We had bush around us and beach a block away...basically, we lived in paradise and thought we were badly off. Today, it is impossible for the majority to be as well-off as we were, as our wealth was in the lifestyle, not the bank. I am pleased to say that I was influenced by my family background to pursue a more natural way of living and eating. My idol was my great grandmother who lived to be 93yoa and worked her gardens from light to dark and was eternally caring for others and giving her last penny selflessly. She laid the real foundation for my love of natural remedies as used them religiously and only went to the hospital not long before she died...maybe that is what finished her. When I was 22yoa I had a lot of pain in my right kidney and doctors kept ordering harmful IVP x-rays which involved nil by mouth for some time prior, then shooting dye into my veins, then tying a heavy object to my bladder area and telling me not to sneeze, cough, fart or similar for at least 20 minutes whilst lying flat...oh, and prior to the dye, I had to have barium meal mixture. Anyway, a blessing in the end, as the 4th one indicated I may have been pregnant, so they stopped and I had a termination in Sydney, where I got a referral to an actual Urologist, one of the best, who ordered a vertical x-ray that took seconds, no pre-anything, and showed a 'floating kidney'. Floating kidneys are common and can be caused by a heavy fall ( I had a fall from a horse in a race when I was 15yoa) or too little Vitamin C. The problem was fixed a year later when I was sent to hospital after passing out at work. The specialist sewed the kidney to my side to anchor it, then all hell broke loose as my colon began to move again. the pain was excruciating and the hospital were hopeless. On my release ten days later, I went to Laidley to my uncles cousin for a colonic irrigation...which led to 5 more to clean the trapped feaces and detoxify my system. Oh yes, I forgot to mention the previous doctors had me on long-term antiobiotics for 2 years and not once mentioned the need for yoghurt or pro-biotics. I was also put on the 80% Alkaline/20% Acid diet and my body healed 6 weeks earlier than the specialist expected...he hated that. My skin and hair shone from top to bottom and there was no need for deodorant, no flatulence, burping or bad breath. I was full of energy and started looking at studying natural therapies. Our family health, although we grew vegetables, was not great. Dad's family all have heart and blood pressure problems, and my mother's family all died of cancer-related illnesses. I had a lot of reasons to want a different lifestyle and not to believe doctors. When I was pregnant with my now 28yoa daughter, I worked on a prawn trawler to get the money to buy my Dietetics and Nutrition Course and got 100% for all but 3 of my assignments...very proud.(: However, being a sole parent, the money to register never came available so I just gave advice or free...like a true practitioner. On top of the nutritional interests, since I was about 8yoa that I can recall, I have had out of body and psychic/ESP experiences. I remember telling my mother on several occasions that 'I have seen this before' or 'heard this before' and she told me I was crazy. Now, after studying literally hundreds of hours of neuroscience and metaphysics, and hearing my Father tell me of his out of body experience on teh way to hospital after a massive heart attack, I know I am not crazy, just blessed with the awareness. Years of being put down throughout my life, and circumstances masked this awareness until now, and I wish to share whatever I can with all of you to help you gain premium mental and physical health. I also completed a double Degree in Environmental Science and Communications when I was 45yoa, a year an half before my Motor Vehicle Accident that has forced me to rethink my life and goals. It has taught me a lot about human nature and the manipulation of the little guy by large corporations who also run the governments...just like they run universities. My studies also continued to Post Graduate and a TEFL Certificate which I taught in Thailand with. I have a book called 'A Comprehensive Guide to Living Sustainably in Marine Environments' which is full of health tips, water saving tips, and Gluten-free recipes etcetera...too much to mention. It is available by sending me a message with your address as is in USB format. Payment will be arranged via direct debit for ease and security. I also have a Gluten-Free cookbook with my unique recipes and it is available via e-mail with payment via direct debit. More will be available as time goes on. Any queries, just go to the message area and message me...I have so much to pass on to others and hope you can appreciate it is too much to make available here.
