Cancer and Chlorophyll

Chlorophyll is one of the top-selling dietary supplements worldwide. Chlorophyll has been used to detoxify and deodorize the body and to support gastrointestinal health. These health benefits are complemented by a pleasant taste in the case of Liquid Chlorophyll. A major component of chlorophyll is the green-colored, water-soluble chlorophyllin. Researchers at the prestigious Oregon State University Linus Pauling Institute have found that chlorophyllin can potentially be used successfully to prevent and treat cancer. Their findings, published in the International Journal of Cancer, showed that chlorophyllin inactivates a cellular enzyme called ribonucleotide reductase (1). This enzyme is needed by cells to produce DNA, the core substance essential for cell…

A Remedy for Clarity and a Decisive Confident Mind

A Remedy for Clarity and a Decisive Confident Mind Fact:  Your body’s physical health is interconnected and cannot be separated from your body’s mental health. One affects the other. A large portion of my CNHP training last week focused on the emotional aspect of healing which I found absolutely fascinating.  I learned about energy and frequency and specifically about Bach Flower Remedies.  Our class was able to create our own remedy that addressed our personal emotional challenges. ( Making the remedies took me back to my days as a lab technician working for Bristol-Myers Squibb.)  It was so much fun and empowering to learn additional ways to take charge of…

The Time Management and Cancer Correlation

The Time Management and Cancer Correlation First Things First is a self-help book by Stephen Covey  focused on time management and holistic life balance.  This 1995 book has always played an important part of my life as I try to live by the philosophy it teaches of sorting tasks and projects into Quadrants. This diagram has been a part of my planner for years to review daily (or at least that is my goal!). Reviewing this page today revealed a perfect analogy between cancer (or other health issues) and time management. Most of us spend our life in Quadrant III which is considered the Not Urgent and Not Important projects or…

Struggling with Commitment

Struggling with Commitment Jack Canfield, author of The Success Principles, said it so well. 99% is a Bit__ (my PG version is Bite); 100% is a Breeze. He also states that, “Successful people adhere to the “no exceptions rule” when It comes to their daily discipline. It has to do with making a commitment to someone or something. Do you make a decision when you arise each morning whether or not you will be faithful to your significant other? I doubt it. You made that commitment long ago and you just do it without having to think about it. If you forget to brush your teeth before you…

How to Break Bad Eating Habits

How to Break Bad Eating Habits I’ve realized through coaching that weight-loss is more about habits than anything else.  It is about breaking old habits and replacing with new.  With food and eating, some are so deeply ingrained that they are hard to recognize.  One of my habits is grabbing “a little something sweet” after lunch and/or dinner. I met my hubby for lunch and he had a chocolate chip cookie sitting on his plate for dessert.  I automatically reached over and started to break off a piece like I normally would.  I realized what I was doing and retracted the action.  So, he graciously broke the cookie…
