Personal Transformation & Radical Remissions

My friends who’ve known me for a long time know, that I sometimes go through periods of being “closed for renovation.” Time when I need to hibernate or go inward for introspection. Time to get back in touch with ME, to rediscover what’s important to me, what I really really want. Wintertime is a good time to do that.  The bears do it and after all, I didn’t get the nickname “Momma Bear” without reason.

Spring is a time of transformation.  The caterpillar wraps herself in a cocoon to emerge in the springtime as a beautiful butterfly.  There’s a natural rhythm to personal transformation. Change happens whether we want it or not. We are always transforming in one-way or another. We now know that we actually get a new body every seven years as our cells die off and new cells are created.  We know that even the brain can create new neuro pathways, at any age. We are not bound by our current condition; neither are we bound by our genes.

I lead a weekly nutrition support group for an oncology clinic where we share specifically how we can change the genetic expression of our genes through diet, and mind body practices. A frequent guest speaker, Victoria Wood RD, MPH, CNS says, “We can become “the conductor of our own genetic orchestra”, or we can feel stuck and paralyzed by our circumstances.  The truth is, even the scariest of diagnoses, like cancer is not a death sentence.  Instead, it can be that wake up call to change the environment creating the dis-ease.

We now have the opportunity to actually learn about Radical Remissions from the subject matter expert. A PhD researcher who has spent over a decade interviewing, researching and studying those who have healed themselves against all odds.. To quote, Dr. Kelly Turner, “If we are trying to win the war on cancer, doesn’t it make sense to study those that have already won?”

Dr. Turner is now offering an online course, RadicalRemission: Applying the 9 healing Factors into Your Own Life, that you can listen to and take at your own pace.  As I said in last week’s blog, I am proud to be affiliated with her and she’s granted my readers an extra 10% off the 20% early registration price. The entire course has been discounted from $245 to $175 but only until April 1^st. So click HERE now to register.

You know that I believe in the power of having a private coach. Not only is this what I do for a living; I also have my own coach and mentors that I invest in. Not everyone can afford private coaching but being part of a group is so vital for support. Personal transformation, although a natural process, takes courage and a conscious commitment and we could all use some encouragement and guidance in the process. Group and online programs like this can be a perfect companion.  I welcome anyone to join our weekly luncheon at The Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders, Wednesday at 12noon. RSVP to me at ljackson@ccbdmd.com Our Integrative Wellness Program also offers yoga and meditation classes, and more.

Have a wonderful weekend and celebrate the many messages of renewal that spring brings to us.

Carpe Diem!

Radical Remission, Surviving Cancer against all odds, by Kelly A. Turner, Ph.D

Dr. Turner now has an online course based on her ten years of research and we (my followers) can get an extra discount if we register early! Click HERE for details.

 We are still grieving my late brother in law as we are coming up to the one year anniversary of his death. When he received his cancer diagnosis, he said to me, “No one survives lung cancer”.  I said, “That’s not true. The largest living lung cancer survivor is in his 80’s, has his Ph.D. and is from Vienna, Va. Dan didn’t believe me. He said, “If this is true then why isn’t it all over the news?”

With so much remorse, I also felt his fear and paralysis and I couldn’t answer his question, but in my search I came across this book by a Harvard graduate and a researcher who chose to study those who DO survive cancer against all odds. She found a 1,000 of them in medical journals and also wondered why she had not heard of them before.  She went on to study radical remissions and her Ph.D thesis  and 10 years of research culminated into her book,  Radical Remission, Surviving Cancer against all odds.

 Talk about Savvy Secrets! We get to hear from an expert the top most common healing factors that literally thousands of people have used to overcome “incurable” dis-eases.  Dr. Turner has personally uncovered over 6,000 such radical remissions and is opening up and sharing her research with the world.

If you or a loved one has ever received a cancer diagnosis, or if you are concerned about prevention, this is a worthy course to consider.

And it get’s better, because I offered to share this message with my followers, you can get an extra 10% off her online course!  Registration opens today and those that sign up in the next two weeks receive an early bird discount of 20% PLUS my followers get an extra 10% off. We want to spread the science, wisdom and hope to as many people as possible on how YOU can improve your immune system and your life. 

As I said in my book, Savvy Secrets: Eat, Think & Thrive:Seven Steps to Optimal Health, one of the steps to healing is to turn fear and overwhelm into empowerment. The fear of a cancer diagnosis (or any other chronic disabling disease) can be paralyzing. When we are frightened we are unable to make the best decisions for ourselves and/or our loved ones. Education is empowering and Dr. Turner can light up the path by sharing the stories of those who have walked the walk before us.

I’m definitely taking advantage of this life affirming opportunity, how about you? If this speaks to you, then click HERE to register.  You must sign up before April 1st to get the discount plus you will have lifetime access to the course, including videos and worksheets and bonus materials from other CAM experts. I'm honored to be affiliated with Kelly A. Turner, Ph.D. and to be able to share this with you. I plan to integrate this knowledge and share this with our patients in The Integrative Wellness Program at The Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders too.

Carpe Diem!

Calling Men & Women

I know last week I said that western women were going to heal the world, but YES we need men too! I'd like to invite you to join me to be part of something very special. My husband says less words = more. If you have enjoyed reading my blogs OR if you want to give back to mankind, please consider supporting this vital fundraiser with a small donation and click HERE for more information. One $50 filtration system brings water to 100 people for 10 years!

Currently 100,000 people die everyday due to lack of clean water. This needs to change. Thank you for taking a look, I really appreciate it.  Carpe Diem.

With Love & Gratitude,

Lisa

PS
Why is water so vital for optimal health?  Here are some interesting facts and estimates:

1. It is estimated that the body is 70% water, the brain is 75% water and the blood is 92% water; dehydration can cause dizziness and headaches
2. 2% drop in body water can create difficulty concentrating and effect short-term memory.
3. Three quarters of Americans are chronically dehydrated.
4. We often mistake hunger for thirst. Try drinking water before grabbing an unhealthy processed carbohydrate. It can stop hunger pangs.
5. It can lower joint and back pain as water is required for synovial fluid.
6. Mild dehydration slows the bodies metabolism.
7. Drinking 5 glasses of water daily decreases the risk of colon cancer by 45%, plus it can slash the risk of breast cancer by 79%, and one is 50% less likely to develop bladder cancer.[1]
8. Lack of water is the #1 trigger of daytime fatigue.
9. Water is required for nearly every part of the human body to function efficiently from carrying nutrients and oxygen to all the cells in the body, to converting food into energy and to protect and cushion vital organs.
10. Water is required for breathing.

Help Make History!

The Dali Llama once said that it is Western Women who will heal this world and I so believe this. It is now time for new leaders who will make the change needed in this time of great dis-ease in our environment, evidenced by the pandemic of chronic, autoimmunity, and cancers.  We need leaders that are full of integrity, compassion and connection to self, our planet and to each other.

Please join me and 100 women leaders who have pledged to bring water to one million people on the planet who currently do not have access to safe clean water. The goal is to Carpe Diem and have this done by March 22, 2016 

Click Here for more information.

Water is one of our most vital resources. See this past blogpost on how it affects everything from your energy level, to your thyroid to cancer prevention. 

You may not be aware that 100,000 people die each day on this planet due to lack of clean water. How do we solve this crisis? With a $50 donation (or whatever you can give). Just fifty dollars will bring water to 100 people for 10 years!  My goal is to raise $5,000 over the next three weeks. So will 50 people donate $100? Or 100 people donate $50 or maybe 1,000 people will give $10. I will be so grateful for each and every donation.

For those that donate over $100, I will donate a 30 minute health coaching assessment. Ask me any questions and receive a one on one strategy session for you or a loved one. If you’ve received any benefit from my blog posts then please consider joining me in this worthwhile cause. 

Go to www.thewaterbearers.org to see the 100 amazing leaders that have stepped up to make history. Never before has a group of diverse women across the globe formed to create a goal to meet this vital need. Won't you please join us? 

With Love and Gratitude,

Lisa
