ZENDOCRINE: CLEAN UP FOR THE NEW YEAR!

I will be using the essential oil, Zendocrine, for a complete body cleanse of all of organs. Read the following in stars for more information on how exactly it works. Otherwise, skip to the bottom if you could care less ;). 

***dōTERRA®'s Zendocrine™ essential oil blend is a proprietary blend of therapeutic-grade essential oils of clove, grapefruit, rosemary, and geranium that have been studied for support of the cleansing organs of the body with a focus on the liver. The blend is formulated to be used individually or in combination with the Zendocrine botanical extract complex.

The following is taken from the Zendocrine Detoxification Complex concept information:  The body's filtering and waste management system is quite capable of managing a certain amount of exposure to toxic influencers. But in a modern world of environmental pollutions and harmful chemicals found in prepared foods, beauty products, treated water, etc. the body's filtering system can be significantly challenged. Just as a filter in a car, furnace, or coffee machine can plug up over time, your body's filtering organs can also become "plugged" with toxins. Healthy organs have the capacity to "clean" or "unplug" themselves under normal conditions, but many sub-optimal health conditions of the liver, kidneys, colon, lungs and skin can result from an overexposure and buildup of toxicity in these vital organs.***

I will be applying one drop of this oil to the bottom of my feet every morning. I am using this method specifically to detox my mold intoxication hoping to purify my body as much as I can before my surgery to hopefully entirely remove the cause of my problem. 

Along with the oil, I will also use the detox complex capsule.

Concept

As part of requisite body functions of eating, breathing, and coming in contact with our environment through our skin, our bodies are exposed to numerous toxins and microbial pathogens. One of the primary functions of vital organs is to act as protective filters against such harmful agents. The largest organ of the body, the skin, has a primary protective function against toxic exposure and infection. The lungs help filter the air we breathe from particulates and pollutants. The gastrointestinal tract from the stomach to the colon of the large intestine also perform significant cleansing and filtering of toxins entering our bodies with the food we eat. If toxins make it past these organs on the first line of defense, other organs such as the kidneys and liver perform additional filtering functions to rid our bodies of chemicals and pathogens that can cause us harm.
The body's filtering and waste management system is quite capable of managing a certain amount of exposure to toxic influencers. But in a modern world of environmental pollutions and harmful chemicals found in prepared foods, beauty products, treated water, etc. the body's filtering system can be significantly challenged. Just as a filter in a car, furnace, or coffee machine can plug up over time, your body's filtering organs can also become "plugged" with toxins. Healthy organs have the capacity to "clean" or "unplug" themselves under normal conditions, but many sub-optimal health conditions of the liver, kidneys, colon, lungs and skin can result from an overexposure and buildup of toxicity in these vital organs.
Supporting healthy cleansing and filtering functions of these organs begins by limiting exposure to environmental toxins we breathe or touch and by eliminating foods that have artificial chemicals or that have been treated with pesticides and other harmful chemicals. Hydrating frequently with clean water is also essential for healthy function of our cleansing organs. Additionally, supplementing our healthy diets with functional nutrients that provide targeted support for specific organs can support healthy cleansing and filtering functions of the body.

So far i've been doing this for two days. I am a little tired because I am still on my oregano, melaleuca, onguard blend as well. However, I am really honestly starting to feel cleaner. I am looking forward to what this will do for me. Although, if it doesn't work I will blog about it. My goal is to be completely upfront and honest with what works for me, not to scam anyone. I have found so many things that have helped that even if some things don't, I still believe in the product. Everything doesn't work for everyone.

This is why I give away free product. I sincerely want to help you get healthy naturally and in combination with western medication. If it doesn't work, try something else. If you don't like it, dont worry about it. 

Simple as that. 

GYM TOMORROW!

I am starting my gym routine tomorrow and going to be using slim and sassy and lemon in my water. 

As always, I will be totally using Catilyst and muscle gain by Advocare.

My muscle gain post workout recipe:

Vanilla muscle gain mixed with peanut butter and a few drops water for texture and apple, carrots, or celery to dip. 

YUM!

Should I keep you posted on my results? Before, during, and after photos may be in future blogs for my followers who are interested in weight loss. 

ANOTHER INFECTION!?!

This nasty thing grew on my leg within a fews hours while I as in Portland, therefore I couldn't really rush myself to an affordable walk in clinic. I was very worried. Best case scenario, bug bite I was negatively reacting to. Worse case scenario, staph infection. I didn't assume staph because I am a hypochondriac. I just didn't rule it out because I had just spent 2 days at Great Wolf Lodge around a lot of different half naked people and kids. 

This picture wasn't even as bad as it got, plus it looked worse in person. It just kept getting redder and spreading. It also hurt a lot, like a bruise. My knee even started to have some pain. 

I decided to go with worse case scenario and that is ok because the oils cannot hurt you unlike western medicine. 

My treatment:

I began with lavendar the first night to cool it and I asked my mentor what oils to use assuming it was staph.

The next day I started on this regimend...

3 drops oregono

3 drops onguard (which is now being used in some hospitals to kill MRSA because its very effective)

3 drops melaluca

In a capsule, 3/X a day for 30 days. The oregono needs to be done 10 days on, 10 days off. Therefore, day 10-20 will be only onguard and melaluca. 

3 drops oregono

3 drops onguard (which is now being used in some hospitals to kill MRSA because its very effective)

3 drops melaluca

Dilute with coconut oil and apply on location until infection is gone.

36 hours later:

ALL GONE :D. And the wounds are healing. I am a very happy girl. I HATE things on my skin. 

Just for good measure, I did go and visit my dermotologist when I got back and showed him the picture. He said more than likely it was a bug bite that I had an allergic reaction too, but even if it was staph I killed it. 

I will continue on the oral regimand for the 30 days just to be safe, but that mixture will also help with my black mold toxicity so all this infection did was jump start that protical. I will keep you posted.

Side note: While I was in Woodsboro, OR shopping at an amazing outlet mall, I saw this advertisement. It made me laugh and I like Columbia so I thought I would share :).

HELP ME SLEEP!

Serenity has helped many. For me, it makes me relaxed but I still have a tough time sleeping. I think it is because my sleep problems come from pain. 

Therefore I have been putting serenity on the back of my neck and birch or wintergree on my shoulders and neck. Those along with Lifelong Vitality make my sleep and pain so so much better. 

If you do not have lifelong vitality, GET IT! In fact, contact me and I will give you a three or four day supply. This stuff works and it works fast!

Funny side note: I put serenity on my neck on the way to Portland for the Empower tour hoping it would help me sleep in the car. It made me really relaxed but I still could not sleep :(. However, everyone else in the car feel asleep within 20 minutes except the driver. haha. This drive was during the day.

HOT TUB WHAT?

I was diagnosed with "hot tub folliculitis." 

I grew up in a pool and hot tub. Never in my life have I heard of such a thing.

I did not take photos of it because I did not think about it soon enough. This is a good and bad thing.

I thought about it a day later, but by then I have already applied clear skin along with lavendar to clear out the infection and reddness. Therefore, aside from a few marks here and there it was gone. 

It basically looked like a bunch of pussy zits down my side. YUCK!

A little about hot tub folliculitis:

Most often occurs in a hot tub where the chemicals are off. 

Some people get it, some dont. 20 people can be sitting in the same hot tub and only 2 might get it. No one knows why.

If you do get it, do not use that hot tub again unless the water is well treated or else you are more likely to get it again.

It only appears where you have a bathing suit and sometimes in your arm pits because that is where your arms lie. 

Any other information can be googled, including photos. :)

ALLERGIES... SINUSITIS.... WHATEVER.

This chronic post nasal drip is just killing me and I am about at the end of my rope with gagging up flem all the time. Too much info? Tough. This is reality and reality is not always pleasant. I will be honest no matter how gruesome or embarassing because that is how we can educate each other. 

I have started dropping two drops of peppermint oil under my tongue 3 times a day to clear my sinuses. With that, I have also starting rubbing two drops of digest zen around my naval on my stomach to support digestion of the flem as well. 

Its been about 3 days and it definately helps. I feel it wears off a bit too fast though. I will have to find a way to tweak it and see if it works better.

Anyone out there with any suggestions?

NOT A COLD!

This post will be short and sweet. 

Aside from taking the flu bomb, which works wonders when you feel a cold coming on, there are a few other steps you can take that have worked well for me so far.

1) Peppermint! This is your go to oil. It helps with allergies, colds, flus, stomach, ect. You name it. 

           * 1 drop of peppermint oil consists of 28 CUPS of peppermint tea!  Therefore, 1 drop in your hot water and you are set!

           * Rub it on yours or your childs stomach to calm down an upset stomach.

2) Onguard down the spine!

              * If your visit our facebook page then you will see many ways onguard has been scientifically proven to support immunity. Disease lives in your spine. Putting a few drops of onguard down yours and your families spine everyday will help in keeping everyone from getting sick. Its been working out well for me so far! 

The family physician kit is highly reccomended. 

HEARTBURN, UPSET STOMACH, INDIGESTION....

This is a rememdy I most commonly get asked for from people in my life. 

Tums, pepto, and gas x are just not cutting it anymore for many. Although, as a side note, did you know gas x has zero known side effects to date? That is impressive in today's medicine. That is definately my medicine of choice that I would go to if the oils did not work. 

What is the essential oil cure that works for the people in my life?

Heartburn:

8oz vanilla almond milk

2 drops peppermint

2 drops lemon

2 drops digestzen

Does it taste good.... o.O Can't say I love it.

Does it work? It has worked within 10 minutes everytime so far. :)

Indigestion (very similar):

8 oz. vanilla almond milk

2 drops peppermint

2 drops ginger

2 drops lime

This one tastes better. 

You can also always put these in a capsule or use them topically. However, I have yet to do either because I like the almond milk in my stomach as well. 

MY FIRST DOTERRA EXPERIENCE

I have been dealing with chronic health issues for over two years stemming from an accident I was in. Every doctor I went to told me, "yes, there is a problem. This blood work is off, this test is implying this or that and on and on. Yet, they had no solutions. They did not know what was causing it. All they could do it guess and check. Guess and check was done using western medicine and I just got sicker most of the time. 

One problem was the constant use of antiobiotics. They were not working too well and they completely ruined my stomach causing all sorts of chronic indigestion on top of everything else. 

I came down with bronchitus last fall. I was really sick and my cough was so painful. My doctor wanted to start me on antiobiotics which I really do not enjoy. That night, I went to a doterra event because my mom talked me into it. My friend, who was hosting, gave me the "flu bomb" (1 - frankenscence, 2 - oregono, 3 - onguard, 4 - peppermint). She told me to take it for 24 hours. If I did not feel better, start the antiobiotic. The goal of using essential oils is to limit 'sick care' with doctors and to bridge the gap between easter and western medicine. 

I was not coughing after 24 hours, and by day three I could breath. I went to the doctor and she commented saying, "Wow, this antiobiotic kicked in quick. It typically takes about two weeks and the cough can linger some a month or so." I called my friend back the next day and said, "OK. Im listening. Tell me about this stuff." 

Just the idea of having a safe, natural, PURE, first step to my health concerns was reason enough for me. The fact that this stuff works has been a blessing on my life. I have more energy, I feel healthier, my immunity is 10 times what it was, and I can fix some of lifes most chronic problems with a few drops of oils. 

I will post recipes and pictures, when applicable, for everything I try that works and even things I try that do not work. 

Follow me on my journey and if you see something you  like, JOIN me on my journey. Sample oils for your personal needs are on me. I wouldn't want anyone using a product that they do not want or like.
