Personal Growth

We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty.
I’ve learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision.
You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them.
It's one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself, to forgive. Forgive everybody.
If we lose love and self respect for each other, this is how we finally die.
We may encounter many defeats but we must not be defeated.
If you have only one smile in you give it to the people you love.
It’s critical to know that our bodies don’t attack themselves.
The medical establishment is a bit of an addict—one that gets its fix from being the authority on health. So what can happen when neither alternative nor conventional doctors have the answers? Denial. This denial may come in the form of mislabeling a condition instead of saying, 'I don’t know.' It may come in the form of prescribing drugs or [continue reading...]
Mystery illness is at an all-time high. With each new decade to come, the number of people suffering from autoimmune disorders and other chronic mystery illnesses will double or triple. It’s time to expand the definition of mystery illness, to wake up to the fact that millions of people need answers.  
If you visit a physician and complain of elbow pain, then hear that you have rheumatoid arthritis (RA), that’s just a tag—not an answer.
Limiting the definition of mystery illness to rare, acute diseases is not helpful. It tricks the public. It makes people think that the medical cases that stump doctors are minimal and affect only a minute portion of the population. Truth is, millions of people suffer from mystery illness.

I’m not a physician. I have no medical training. Yet I can tell you things about your health that no one else can. I can give you clarity on chronic and mystery illnesses that doctors often misdiagnose, treat incorrectly, or tag with certain labels even when they don’t truly understand what causes the symptoms.  
When we’re sick, we question ourselves. We feel cut off from life, from what we were put on earth to do. We doubt basic truths, like the body’s ability to heal, because we haven’t yet connected to what’s really behind our illnesses. We go from doctor to doctor, medical community to medical community, looking for an answer. We lose faith in [continue reading...]
There are genuine explanations for the conditions that leave doctors stumped, and there are powerful methods to deal with the challenges we face in the modern era.  
Spirit calls our current era the Quickening. Never before has civilization changed at such a fast pace. Technology has revolutionized virtually everything about our lives. We live in a period of breathtaking wonder and opportunity. It’s also an era of danger.  
Health trends and fads come and go. When one is popular, it’s hugely persuasive for people’s consciousness. Then the new attraction comes along, the old one fades, and we’re too distracted by the shiny new packaging to realize it contains the same misconceptions all over again.
