Health and Healing: Changing Lives through Daily Choices

by
Tera Warner

Last week, I met a woman who had given up on her health.

After 19 years of struggling with Crohn’s disease and being told to eat more white rice and drink more milk, she was sick and tired of being sick and tired. She paid big bucks to be seen by the “top” doctor for Crohn’s in the city. He told her to avoid fiber, eat white bread and cheese. She took immune-suppressing drugs and went to the bathroom more times in one day than most of us go in a week. When she heard about me, she figured it would be another fruitless encounter with promise, but no possibility.

She was wrong.

I’ll tell you what happened in a minute, but first I want to let you know that one of the biggest reasons I do what I do, is because when I walk in the street and see people plagued by illnesses that do NOT need to exist in the first place, I ache inside.

I want to DO something, CHANGE something, SAY something loud enough that people will hear it and wake up to the fact that life is not always as it appears.

People are told their illnesses are “genetic” or “hereditary” and that there’s nothing they can do so, “Line up at the counter and pop another pill, Jack!”

I’m not saying genetics don’t play a role in health, I’m just saying you shouldn’t sublimate your health to someone else’s opinion that you can’t do anything about it.

You CAN do something about it! You can ALWAYS do something about it.

There ARE solutions, and chances are they are simple, easy and right under the tip of your nose. But don’t give up on trying to find them, just because you’ve bumped into a few posts along your path. Keep going. Keep looking.

You’ll find them.

Lies require layers of elaborate explanations. They are complicated things.

Truth is simple. It just works. It makes sense.

People accept pain, discomfort, illness and fatigue as a part of their every day lives. It’s not “true” that life has to be this way. There are solutions and YOU can do something about it, whatever “it” is!

Heard any of these names circulating around your local “coffee shop”?

-Candida
-Eczema
-Psoriasis
-Weight gain
-Bloating
-Water retention
-ADD
-Autism
-Brain fog
-Mood disorders
-Bipolar
-Depression
-Anxiety
-IBS
-Leaky gut syndrome
-Crohn’s
-Thyroid and hormonal imbalances.

I have seen, heard stories and received countless letters by people who have overcome ALL of these conditions and a whole lot more as a result of ONE THING.

But that one thing is so misunderstood, so mystified, and so couched in confusion, that my dear friend and superhero Dr. Ritamarie Loscalzo and I are going to set the record straight in a series of 4 teleseminars happening throughout the month of November.

ANYONE you know who suffers from ANY of the above conditions needs to be on these calls.

You don’t have to pay a dime. You just have to invest some time, hope and a willingness to learn while Dr. Ritamarie and I get up on our soap boxes and share some things that we KNOW will change the lives of anyone who hears it.

Everyone is invited. It doesn’t matter how sick, fat, tired you feel, there is SOMETHING in these calls that could turn your life around, so sign up and tune in. The calls are starting this Thursday:

It doesn’t take more than your name and email address.

We won’t chase you down to sell vacuum parts. We just want you to help us help the world. If you know anyone who is suffering with ANY of those conditions, or if someone came to mind while you read this letter, then send this to them.

I don’t know what it’s going to take to make this world the place I KNOW it can be, but I’m going to be frizzy- haired and frazzled at the end of my days for having done my best to make it happen.

I appreciate your help in getting this information out there. My megaphone can reach a lot farther with your help.

Thanks for listening and spreading this around.

It means a lot.

Love and red-headed determination,

Tera

P.S.

By the way, the calls will be recorded, so if you can’t attend the live version, we’ll make the recording available for you. All you have to do is sign up, we’ll send you the details right away.

P.P.S.

Oh my! I almost forgot to tell you about the woman that I met last week. I gave her a whole list of foods I thought would help her and some suggestions based on the people I’ve seen overcome the condition.

24-hours later, she was a COMPLETELY different person.
She said she’d not felt so much hope, so much health in almost 20 years. She wept at the fact that a perfect stranger seemed to have the solutions and offered them for free, when NO ONE else, not even the most highly paid doctors had any idea what to do.

Kinda puts things into perspective, doesn’t it.

Detoxing Your Gut: Understanding Leaky Gut and Candida Infections

by

Dr. Ritamarie Loscalzo

I’m always asked questions like, “What’s the best way to cure Candida”  and  “How long does it take to heal leaky gut?”  The strategies for both are amazingly similar.  Not surprising, though, when you realize that both are caused by an overload of toxins that your body just doesn’t have the resources to get rid of.

I recorded a video clip about candida to answer some of the questions I get most frequently:

Watch my video about candida here…

So what is leaky gut , anyway?  It sounds kind of scary, doesn’t it?  Can I leave the house with a leaky gut?  Is it messy?  What’s actually leaking and where does it leak to?

Rest assured,  while leaky gut can have some very serious health complications, it’s generally not life threatening….at least not in the short term.  And nothing is leaking out of you, so no one can tell that you have it unless you tell them.  What’s leaking is the some of the contents of the small intestine, and where it’s leaking into is the blood stream.

Leaky gut is a very common condition of the small intestine.  Whereas a healthy small intestine will allow only fully digested food particles and nutrients to pass through, a leaky gut has been damaged and thus allows larger food molecules and toxins to readily enter the blood stream.  This can lead to food allergies, autoimmune disease, eczema, psoriasis, and a long laundry list of symptoms and health conditions.  Here’s a summary:

  1. **Gastrointestinal complaints: Abdominal pain, bloating, constipation, diarrhea, gas, indigestion, heartburn
  2. **Neurological disturbances: Aggressive behavior, anxiety, confusion, fuzzy or foggy thinking (brain fog), mood swings, nervousness, poor memory
  3. **Breathing troubles: Shortness of breath, asthma
  4. **Immune System Imbalances: Poor immunity, allergies, autoimmune diseases, recurrent bladder infections, recurrent vaginal infections
  5. **Skin Problems: skin rashes, eczema, psoriasis
  6. **Other Symptoms: chronic joint pain, chronic muscle pain, fatigue, bed wetting, hormone imbalances

These symptoms are, not surprisingly, very similar to the symptoms of candida overgrowth.  And, as you can tell, the symptoms are not confined to the gut!

There’s so much more I’d like to share about these very common yet often times overlooked conditions.   If you’re suffering from any of the symptoms listed above, you owe it to yourself to find out more.

If you’d like to learn what causes candida overgrowth and leaky gut,  and how to prevent and reverse them, be sure to sign up for the new free teleseminar series that Tera and I are offering.   The first class is Nov 5 and we’ll be talking about why undigested food is toxic, no matter how good the food is, the harmful byproducts of incomplete digestion and what happens when they enter your bloodstream, how your gut contributes to depression, brain fog, aches and pains, what caused your gut bacteria to go out of balance and so much more.

This is the first in a series of 4 free teleseminars, our gift to you as we enter into the holiday season.  Even if you can’t make the live classes, sign up anyway and we’ll send you the   recordings.
