Everything's quite nice out lately, it's warming up now here; I am getting along wonderfully.

The guest are getting along wonderfully. The stay is one to two weeks depending on severity of the problem, and expenses. Most stay two weeks, but this comes with exceptions. One lady is treating her cancer with natural remedies, and all the other guest are here for other extreme problems as well. Most have found that western treatments product little results or none; or just seem to cover up the symptom yet the underlying problem is still existing.

A lady did a liver flush for her gallstones last night. most people believe that gallstones can be found only in the gallbladder. This is a common, yet false assumption. Most gallstones are actually formed in the liver, and comparatively few occur in the gallbladder. It was a rough night for her, yet she seems to be doing okay this afternoon. (It's a completely natural remedy composed of few items such as oranges, olive oil and lemon juice ect.) It's wonderful to see such people relying on God's natural remedy for healing instead of man's concoctions. The liver flush is a very interesting topic -- a great book was recommended to me about it called "The Amazing Liver and Gallbladder Flush" by Andreas Moritz. People here in Australia really rely on this program for health concerns; its truly a wonderful structured program for the ill.

Lecture today was about the liver and sex hormones. She explained the theory behind Dr. Akins Diet -- and how it was truly a revolutionary topic and study. Except for one minor detail -- animal protein. It has been proven in many studies including the most famous, the China Study by Dr. Colin Campbell, that a high meat diet can accelerate cancer growth while a diet high in plant protein can reverse it. Grains, Legumes, Seeds, and Nuts are all wonderful forms of plant protein. What Akins proved is that fiber is essential, and that your gastro-intestinal track must be swept everyday. And also that without protein your body cannot heal. He also gave a wonderful example of if you stop carbs, your body will start living on stored fat, and you will lose weight quickly. But understand that not all carbs are bad. They can be adjusted in your diet according to what you need at the certain point. She also recommended a great book called, "Why French Women never get fat".

Another point was cholesterol medication. A good question is, is the medication curing you? or is it coving up your symptom (i.e. lowing or raising your blood pressure)? All medication cover up a symptom they do not treat the cause. Also, we were brought to the topic of mercury fillings (silver fillings) and some problems that lie within that area of dentistry. She also went to the topic of fasting and how water fast are dangerous, yet juicing is beneficial. Some interesting points that I need to look into further.

Than we shifted to the sex hormones and the 1960's sexual revolution and the introduction of the pill in 1957. And how the pill has formed a problem with hormone imbalance in all generations leading up to now. And how that relates to the epidemic of infertility in the World. A good point was that estrogen is a good slave, but a bad master -- in our society we are being force fed estrogen through the birth control pills, meats (GMO chickens, cows always have high hormone level to increase growth speed, and even some organic chickens are still being fed estrogen in their feed.) Think of children now who are getting their menstrual cycle earlier and earlier --its an epidemic of estrogen, everywhere. Breast cancer rates have risen, along with migraine issues. And estrogen even resides in the plastics. The liver can detoxify excess toxins or estrogen by simple herbs: cabbage, licorice root, Anna's Wild Yam Cream (a natural hormone balancer) and flax seed.

Another book recommended was "The Ultimate Detox" by Sandra Cabot.

Thanks for reading, but a little about me. I am doing really well. I stay on campus and have two roommates. I did my laundry yesterday and hung it all out to dry in the sun -- it was lovely. Kind of neat how old fashioned I feel these days. I hike to and from work everyday. I start around 6:30 and finish around 8pm. I get a few breaks for lunch, and the food here is fantastic -- its simple. But today we had gluten free pancakes with chia seeds as a binder --wow. after being gluten-free; my acne is starting to clear. I feel clearer like I can think and my hyper activity has decreased! I took some B-vitamin supplements today. And other than that -- Australia has lived up to its expectations. Except for one detail, my husband. I miss him a lot. He's my best friend, and it's hard being away from him for so long.

Some bible verses Barbra pointed out was psalms 104:14 and the original diet in Eden in Gen. 1:29. You can't argue with the original diet, it was perfect. These related to her lecture on herbs, and food.

I hope you all are doing wonderful, to both my family -- the Emmi's and the Bellefontaine's I miss and love you. And Blake, hope you are feeling better -- sleeping better? Hope all is well and sending my love! Please keep in touch via email, I have little to none cell phone reception! Till next time.
