In Today’s National News…
So the word on the street is that American dogs and cats are fatter than ever with the greater percentage of them now overweight.  The blame is attributed to loving them too much and offering too many treats, but I suspect there is more to the story.

I believe your animals are eating too many poisons.  GMO products of grain and corn filled with pesticides and chemicals causing diabetes, endocrine problems, hormone disruption, cancer, bladder disease, kidney failure, liver disfunction, high blood pressure, thyroid damage, gall bladder disorders and obesity are the normal diet.  The theory holds some logic when you look at the general population of humans in America suffering the same ailments.

We are eating the same poisons we give our animals.  We have the same conditions of diabetes to weight gain and we also know there is chronic pain, chronic illness, neurological disorders, brain fog and infertility added to the list.
It does not take a genius mind to see that the physical body, animal or human, does not do well on a diet of poisons.  The allowable levels of toxins, pesticides, and chemicals in our food is killing us to be sure.  We are more apt to take notice when it is our animals that are suffering, but without a doubt Americans are slowly and methodically being poisoned under the watchful eye and authority of the law.​

This is not a problem that is going to be corrected by government action.  It is going to stop when you tell manufacturers, by holding back your dollars, that being fed poison is unacceptable.  Until change is on the horizon, your option is to avoid all GMO crops and buy as much organic as possible.

 This is not just one more bit of hysteria brought to you by the overly concerned.  This is truth that is geared to undoing lies that have been imprinted on your belief system for decades.  Being armed with the facts will allow you to make your own decisions and potentially prevent years of unexplained illness and pain.  

Dental implants and root canals seem to be the miracle of dentistry.  They seem to be life saving graces of modern medicine, but the truth lingers far from the story told.  Dentists who know these truths are risking their professional careers and licenses to expose the facts, yet they continue because the risks are so high to consumers.  

What we now know about these common procedures is that they are dangerous surgeries that can harbor bacteria in the mouth, resulting in systemic infections.  The end result is chronic illness, chronic pain, heart disease and symptoms that can mimic dozens of conditions and diseases.  Because we are not given informed consent of the potential risks, we don't think to look to the mouth as a source of the resulting illness.  In most cases, these conditions are treated without success while the on-going infection continues to poison the body silently and relentlessly.

Why isn't the possible outcome of root canals and dental implants thoroughly explained to you by your dentist?  It is primarily because the American Dental Association does not teach these realities and, in fact, denies the dangers.  If you need to test that theory, read the ADA position on mercury and compare it to the World Health Organization, The Food and Drug Administration and the United Nations.  There is great discrepancy in the position of the ADA.  To read the positions of governing agencies see www.searchforthecausenotjustthecure.com/blog/who-is-in-charge-of-keeping-you-safe-from-mercury-poisoning-in-dentistry

From personal experience I can tell you that your mouth will likely be the last place you will Search for the Cause of illness.   You can easily have zero to only slight indicators.  Usually you will have no suspicion that your chronic illness or debilitating pain is sourcing from your mouth.  When the constant flow of infection ends, which takes undoing root canals and removing implants, symptoms can leave miraculously once the body has healed.  (See more about this at www.searchforthecausenotjustthecure.com/blog/dental-implants-and-illness.)

The bottom line...Understand and make your own decisions about your past and future dental work.   If you have a dentist that is not interested in this discussion, you need a new dentist.   Just FYI, there may be no definitive trouble markers  from an examination or even from X rays.  Some of your decision will be gut instinct or pure faith.  It is not an easy process, but the reward is wellness.  The video will teach you what you need to know.

​40 Million Americans can't be all wrong
...Or can they?

"Irritable Bowels" is a household phrase, but what does it mean
and why do you take pharmaceuticals to solve it?

Long before you ever told anyone that your bowels were untrustworthy and that they controlled your life, you knew something was wrong.  You tolerated and tolerated it until one day you realized that your plans for the day were centering around your bowels and their potential "frame of mind" for that day.  That is when most finally seek help.  

The help you receive  usually comes in the form of pharmaceuticals that address each and every symptom, but cure nothing.   In fact, they can exacerbate the problem.  If you want to understand how you can cure your body yourself, you must learn about gut health and what is really going on in the bowels.  It's pretty simple once you understand how your body works.  

A large percentage of IBS is influenced or created by candida overgrowth.  Candida is gut bacteria that gets fed by the typical diet of processed foods and sugars.  Once it controls the gut, trouble begins and can take shape as lethargy, pain, allergies, food intolerances, fatigue, skin disorders, infections, hair loss, weight issues, loss of sexual drive and bowel issues.  Left unchecked it can lead to Leaky Gut Syndrome and a host of other symptoms.  

Curing candida is simply done by feeding the bacteria, called "good bacteria," that keeps the gut balanced.  The fastest way to do that is by introducing fermented foods into your diet and let them do the work for you.  Fermented foods include sauerkraut, raw vinegar, kimchi, probiotic yogurt, kombucha and miso.  

You will also want to lose the foods that cause candida to be fed.  It is not an instant fix.  You will be changing your diet to accommodate your body instead of yourself, but the reward is wellness.

Of course there is more than one answer to every skin condition but for millions, it is simply diet.  I know you would rather hear that a pill will solve your issues, but there is no pill for a bad diet.  Your body requires certain things to operate reasonably.  When you deprive it of those things, it acts out in conditions that range from infections, bowel disorders, food intolerances, pain, lethargy, fatigue and skin eruptions.

Many discount the issue of diet being the solution and fall into the belief that their psoriasis or eczema is genetic.  Could it be that the diet and environment of the parents is similar and so, the reaction is the same?   Heavy metals, use of medications and diet can all produce a sick gut and a variety of reactions.

Why hasn't your doctor mentioned foods that can cure skin disorders?  The age old answer is that doctors did not study nutrition in med school.  What they did study, drugs, can actually exacerbate the problem while masking symptoms.  

Why sauerkraut?  Sauerkraut is one of many fermented foods that feed what is called the "good bacteria" in the gut.  When good bacteria flourishes, your gut stays in balance and healthy.  When the gut is fed sugars and processed foods it can only feed the bacteria known as candida.  When candida is in charge the body reacts negatively.

Whether you have suffered a lifetime, or if your condition is new, researching candida and Leaky Gut Syndrome could save you years of discomfort.  To see a bit more see:  www.searchforthecausenotjustthecure.com/blog/symptoms-and-causes-of-candida

​We came from ancient people who understood the earth
and how it provided for our health, food and medicine.

​Then we forgot.

The labeling of "fibromyalgia" is a dangerous choice in my opinion.   It is a catch-all for a variety of conditions that are not understood and have yet to be explained.  Drugging each symptom as though they were all the same problem does not seem reasonable.  

Fibromyalgia is not a disease.  It is categorized as a "condition" that is determined to be incurable.  Taking ownership of the word as your diagnosis is accepting a life sentence.  Think of it as nothing more than an insurance code that will get your doctor paid.  If you accept it for more than that, you might never get well.

There is no single cure for fibromyalgia, because there is no single cause.  Finding your particular situation and cause is your mission.  It takes effort and the reward is wellness.  The most help you will find will likely be within holistic resources.

If I was guessing the primary cause of fibromyalgia-like pain, my best and only guess would be toxicity.   Our water is tainted, our crops are laden with pesticides, farm animals are contaminated with drugs and hormones and our manufacturers are operating within very lenient laws that govern toxicity.   When you poison the human body to the degree allowable by law,  it has to manifest negatively.  I believe fibromyalgia is one of those ways.

If you are likely to Search for the Cause, Not Just the Cure, there are some reasonable starting points.  

• Your diet is the first place to look for poisonous and inflammatory sources.  Clean up the kitchen and delete most goods made by the leading food producers.  
• Next, clearing out sources of poison in the home will be helpful.  Eliminate all cleaning products with chemicals in favor of natural products or homemade replacements.  Eliminate room sprays, candles and plug in scents that are not natural, throw out bug sprays, oven cleaners and harsh scrubbing chemicals and lighten your laundry toxicity by eliminating dryer sheets, fabric softeners and harsh detergents.
• Clean up your cosmetic choices in favor of non-toxic choices.
• Clean up all of the personal care products that are manufactured by Corporate America.  This means sourcing clean versions of toothpaste, hand lotion, shampoo, soap, antiperspirant and deodorant. 
• Empty the garage of toxic chemicals and eliminate poisons used on the lawn, garden and insects.
• Check for common issues that mimic the symptoms of fibromyalgia which start with sugar addiction, candida, leaky gut and metals poisoning.
