Joyful Holistic Living - Loving God and Loving Life

Did you know there are better times of the year than others to do a detox?

There are many different types and ways to detox depending on the needs of your body.

There are gentle detoxes and more in depth detoxes.

Did you know that the majority of people living in the US have issues with parasites and it is recommended to do a parasitic cleanse annually? But, before you do that you need to make sure your detox pathways are open.

Working with a certified holistic health practitioner is highly recommended when looking into cleansing and going through a detox program.

"Check your deodorant labels.
Do you know which products in your home contain propylene glycol? In addition to the personal care products in this graphic, you might be surprised where else you find it listed.

Despite being classified as a skin irritant by the National Library of Medicine HazMap, it is often found in deodorants (including some marketed as safe and natural), meaning it is applied directly to one of the three most absorbent areas of skin on your body. Applying it after shaving further increases the absorption of this chemical." Heidi Lang Strong

I am super excited to be offering Energy Bits to my clients and customers! I take these powerhouse supplements and love the energy I get from this food source nutrient!

Check out the website to learn more. Let me know if you have questions. Below are just a few of the health benefits from Energy Bits' algae tablets. There is now heat used in processing so the nutrients are preserved for you!

"Superoxide Dismutase (SOD)
Don’t worry about how to say it. We won’t quiz you. What you do need to know about “SOD” is that it is a key antioxidant in the body. Studies show that spirulina raises SOD levels while reducing muscle fatigue and cellular damage. [4] Spirulina has the highest concentration of SOD in any food.

Chlorophyll
The pigment that makes plants green helps your body detoxify too – and there is a lot of it in algae. For comparison, spinach has one of the highest chlorophyll contents of any food. It contains 23.7mg per cup (30g). The equivalent amount (30g) of chlorella contains a whopping 640mg of chlorophyll!

Chlorella Growth Factor (CGF)
Chlorella Growth Factor is a compound formed in chlorella during photosynthesis. It stimulates DNA and RNA production, allowing chlorella to grow incredibly fast. You might have guessed that CGF is only found in chlorella. What you may not have guessed is that it has been linked to a range of health benefits including cell health, immune support, and anti-aging."

"The FDA does not review the safety of food additives when new science reveals potential health risks. That means there are thousands of food products on U.S. store shelves containing chemicals linked to health harms.

We created a guide so that you can avoid the worst food additives allowed on US store shelves. https://bit.ly/2WixVeo." - EWG

"The incorporation of LED light therapy into an infrared sauna further increases the detoxifying and healing powers of the sauna. Research has found that LED treatment energizes cells, encouraging them to regenerate; this can assist in the healing of acne, scarring, and aging or discolored skin. The use of color also assists with healing; this practice is referred to as chromotherapy. Each color of light offers distinct health benefits:

*Red LED light stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, which plump the skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It also increases energy and promotes tissue healing.
*White LED light is produced by the combination of three primary colors – Red, Green, and Blue. Thus, it offers the health benefits of all three of these colors. Furthermore, research has demonstrated that white LED light can increase vitamin D levels.
*Orange LED light stimulates mental activity and a cheerful emotional state. It helps combat depression.
*Yellow LED light is spiritually grounding and promotes a positive outlook on life. It may even help people feel more optimistic and lighthearted.
*Green LED light helps people feel grounded and calm and may help in the treatment of Seasonal Affective Disorder.
*Blue LED light eases pain, anxiety, and depression reduces inflammation and blood pressure, and even alleviates severe headaches! Blue light may also help in the treatment of acne because it kills bacteria on the skin that promote acne infections.
*Purple LED light alleviates neurological pain caused by diseases such as multiple sclerosis and fibromyalgia. It also slows down an overactive heart rate, stimulates the immune system, and reduces anxiety." From the Lavage Wellness website

The following is a message to myself that I thought you all may want to "hear".

Our self talk , how we see the world, how we see others - it all affects our health and wellbeing physically, spiritually, and mentally.

I know life can suck sometimes, but allowing negativity to take root in your life and grow, can destroy you in more ways than one.

When you are struggling to see it, lean on and trust in God to show you the good that is out there.

Blastomycosis is a parasitic fungus classified as an endemic in Canada as well as the Ohio and Mississippi River valleys and the Great Lakes of the United States. It is found in moist soil and decomposing leaves and branches. This fungus can enter the body through the airways and then travel to the bloodstream. Among some of the symptoms are fever, cough, muscle aches, joint pain, night sweats, and fatigue. After airways have been exposed, these symptoms may not show up for three weeks to three months.

People who enjoy outdoor activities such as camping and hiking are at a risk of becoming infected with this fungus. People with compromised immune systems are at a greater risk of complications from exposure to blastomycosis.

If it is known that someone has been exposed to this fungus, there are some natural remedies to help the body heal. Coconut oil and raw garlic have anti-fungal properties. Adding vitamin C into the diet can strengthen the immune system as well as ease the symptoms of the fungal issues. Goldenseal root is also anti-fungal and when paired with the other remedies, can be powerful at fighting this fungus. This root can affect sugar levels, so it should only be used for a few days.

The only way to avoid blastomycosis is to avoid damp wooded areas where it lives. This is impossible for me since my favorite activity is hiking and I live in Michigan. The woods are full of decomposing wood and damp soil. The best way to keep the body well would be to have healthy foundations so that your body’s terrain won’t welcome this fungus to take up residence.
