Fear is what keeps you in line
Pharmaceutical companies use fear and doubt to keep you in line with their program. They are masters at it. They manipulate, trick and use every which way they can to keep you from taking responsibility and learning about your own body and health. There are infinite options when it comes to holistic/natural healing. Diet, herbs, acupuncture, yoga, meditation, homeopathy, massage, cranio sacral therapy, placebos, shamanism, reiki, compassion, love, community, essential oils, chi kung, and sooooooo much more. Everything listed above has thousands of years of testing, research and proof that they WORK!!!!!
If you ever hear that something or other does not work, or research shows that herbal formulas are unsafe, just look up the amount of overdosed, side effected people from the pharmaceutical companies. Wake up people, drugs are bad, healing is good. Stop listening to the news, the spin doctors, the media for your health information. Start listening to your neighbors your health food store owners, your naturopaths, your herbalist, your medicine people, your grandparents, your elders, your heart, your intuition. Your health matters and YOU and YOU alone are responsible for it. There is no doctor in the world that can cure you of anything, you can find the solution, learn the lesson and gain health with the help of many doctors, Medical doctors and Which Doctors alike.

Sesame Oil
I have mentioned this before. Seriously magical stuff available everywhere you go. Sesame oil has helped me and a lot of people I know with psoriasis, dry scalp, sun burns (absolutely magical when one has a sunburn).
All you do is take sesame oil, not the toasted kind, and put it right on your skin. Put is on your scalp for a scalp treatment. I prefer to use it when before I get into the shower. I find the heat from the shower opens my pours and my body just soaks up the sesame oil. Try mixing in a few drops of your favorite essential oil, or blend some.
My skin is happy, my friends are happy with it. I do not make a cent of off this blog. I share cause I am excited and want to talk to people about their experiences with Sesame oil. Try it and let me know what happens, hell let everyone know.

Healing Self of Cancer and not Everyone
I was on my way into work today when I heard on the radio that this dude had cured his cancer by drinking Dandelion tea. The researches in charge of a study where trying to
"Figure out how to make this treatment effective for everyone and not just one person".
I laughed my ass off. One treatment for everyone.... Seriously, who is teaching this shit to these people. There never will be one treatment for everyone. How about celebrating the one dude who found what he needed and made it work. ALSO, I am 110% sure that it was not only the dandelion I am sure there was some life changes, some emotional changes, some spiritual changes. Cancer, like any challenge is not a one stop shop. There is a multitude of reasons that one would have cancer and it takes a shift in every place posible.
You wanna cure cancer? Start by living your dream, being playful, loving life, loving yourself, finding honor, finding spirituality that works for you, finding art, community, expression, song, dance, smells, food anything that you love, explore it an you might just find what you need. even if you do not live a long life, you will at least live a life worth living.

Imagination is the Best Medicine
I swear there is nothing greater and more powerful then the imagination. If you do not feel excited about your life, engaged in you life or a sense of consecutiveness with this world then I would encourage you to start flexing and working out your imagination.
You are the most powerful person in your universe. You can imagine anything!!! And there is nothing more powerful then a well imagined life. Try it, live in a world where you can imagine anything and see how it changes your physical reality. It is truly amazing. This not something that will change over night but it will change EVERYTHING!
If I can suggest one thing to believe in, one thing to have faith in, one thing to follow or worship, I would suggest your imagination.

Plant People
Another addition of WDHC, which is all about healing and tips that I learned from my travels that I wish to pass one.
One of the most effective and inexpensive medicines I know is Herbal Medicine. I am talking about plants. We all know some of the more popular ones like Echinacea, Mint, Ginger, but their are millions of herbal remedies on this planet. There are so many remedies that it would be impossible to decided upon one set treatment for one ailment. Every plant has AT LEAST 10 magic tricks up its sleeve.
Here is what I suggest. Learn about 10 herbs intimately. Read about them, plant them in your garden, make teas with them, do everything you can to get to know them. Then when you have a base of 10 herbs of your choice, this is how I suggest you blend them. Get a bowl, preferably a nice one that you really like. Sit in front of the bowl and stare at it, picture the person you are blending for. Have the 10 herbs close at hand. Pick up on of the herbs, and feel if it is the right herb for the mixture for that person. Blend them and put them in a jar. Put hot water over the herbs and allow the mixture to steep. Pour off a cup as often as needed and refill the jar with hot water. Do this for 3-5 days.
You see if you are looking at the Herbal Medicine in terms of "Medical" significance in our western minds then you are missing a major part of the power of the plant world. Big pharmaceuticals have been trying for many years, with billions of dollars in research, to isolate and extract the healing principals of the plant world. So far they have extracted and synthesized less then 1% of the medicine found in plants. LESS THEN 1%. All their technology, research, money and experience in labs there is nothing that will replace listening to the plants, smelling the plants, growing the plants, learning the language of the plant.
The plant people are alive, they are vibrant and brilliant and will share with you their healing if you listen. I know it sounds weird but I swear it is true.

Shhhh can be good medicine
Shhhhhhh. Find the silence. Find a place away from the noise. No music, no city hum, no voices, no distractions. Sit with yourself in silence. Take time to think. Just think. Don't be afraid, your thoughts will be interesting, challenging and scary at times. Allow your thoughts to just do what they need to do, think. Process, digest and heal in silence. There is more wisdom is silence then anything I know.

Healthfood store Rules
Imagine yourself in your local Healthfood store, eco store or even local grocery store. Now imagine walking down the isles, checking out the deals, what’s new, what looks good for dinner. You pick up a favorite product, put it in your basket and move on.
Now let me ask you 4 simple questions I bet you cannot answer;
1. Is the packaging of that product recycled, or eco friendly?
2. Who owns that company and where do the profits go?
3. Where are the raw ingredients actually from?
4. What’s the point of this product?
I can assure you that there are many questions facing Eco/Health products that need to be asked that I am not going to talk about. What I am going to talk about is what questions the Eco/Health companies do not want you to ask. Lets take a look at what I have found.
1. Most companies use “main stream”, “non eco” packaging and WAY to much of it.
2. Big companies like, Colgate, Clorox, Kraft and more have bought up many of the companies that are on the Green/Eco/Health shelves
3. SO many “Local” companies import products from the other side of the planet. Consider the packaging, the local climate and what is in the package and ask yourself, how could I get my hands on local raw materials to make this product? Is it possible?
4. What is the point of Organic Oreos? Or Organic Fruit Loops? Do you need them for any reason besides pleasure? Hey I’m not saying don’t enjoy them, I am just asking so you are aware of why you buy them. Don’t assume that if it is in a small independently owned health food store that Millions of dollars has not been spent on the marketing to try to convince you that you “NEED” this product
Start by asking the store employees. If they cannot find an answer then contact the companies VIA websites and contact info on the back of the product. Use common sense. And remember, you hold all the power. The biggest companies in the world are afraid of you finding out the truth, they will change their practices if enough people ask questions they don’t want to answer.

Bad for the skin
Face to Face with the truth
Five years ago most Natural Cosmetics lines contained known carcinogens, toxic ingredients and poisons. I know this sounds harsh and alarmist, which is not my intention. I just wanted to point out that these “Natural” companies used ingredients that where known to be harmful. Companies like Kiss My Face, Jason’s, Toms of Maine, Avalon, Giovanni and many more. They used ingredients like
Parabens - Parabens are esters of para-hydroxybenzoic acid, from which the name is derived. Common parabens include methylparaben (E number E218), ethylparaben (E214),propylparaben (E216) and butylparaben. Less common parabens include isobutylparaben, isopropylparaben, benzylparaben and their sodium salts. The general chemical structure of a paraben is shown at top right, where R symbolizes an alkyl group such as methyl, ethyl,propyl or butyl
SLS - Sodium laureth sulfate, or sodium lauryl ether sulfate (SLES), is a detergent andsurfactant found in many personal care products (soaps, shampoos, toothpaste etc.). It is an inexpensive and very effective foaming agent
Peg - Polyethylene glycol (PEG) is a polyether compound with many applications from industrial manufacturing to medicine. It has also been known historically as polyethylene oxide (PEO) or polyoxyethylene (POE) depending on its molecular weight, and under the tradename Carbowax.
Perfume - About 95 percent of the chemicals used in fragrances are synthetic, petroleum-based compounds. For people with allergies or multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS), these chemicals can lead to allergic reactions like sneezing, itchy watery eyes, wheezing and headaches.
Most of the companies have stopped using these ingredients and I have heard the formulators, owners and CEOs of all of these companies exclaim at one point that this is all a passing fad, soon everyone will forget about this and we can start using them again.
Do not stop fighting for safe products. Food, soap, water whatever it is it can be clean.

Angry Heart
My heart holds so much anger. Its not something I carry with pride. I actually hide it well. I do work hard at letting it go and finding forgiveness. Sometimes anger seems to collect faster then I can get rid of it. My heart it has been beaten many times. I know I can not truly love myself or another if I hold onto this anger. I have much to learn about how to trust people and let go of my anger. I am not a particularly trusting person. It takes me a long time to trust someone, mostly cause I carry the wounds with me from times I gave away my power and did not honor myself. That is it I guess. I am trying to learn how to honor myself. If I can truly honor myself then I can probably let go of the anger, actually if I honor myself there will be no need for the anger.
So the cure for my anger is self honor. Makes sense to me.
Imagination is the greatest of all medicines.
