Vitamin B-12 (Cobalamin) Deficiency is Serious

Are you becoming forgetful, having more sleepless nights, experiencing numbness or tingling in your arms or legs,or just plain feeling tired? You may be suffering from vitamin B-12 deficiency. Catching a vitamin B-12 deficiency early is important. Severe deficiencies can lead to very destructive disease processes.

You May be More Prone to This Deficiency if you are:

• over 50 years old
• vegan or vegetarian
• experience digestive issues or have low stomach acid
• drink alcohol
• are anemic

A lack of cobalamin is associated with a wide range of diseases including anemia, gastritis, neuropathy (numbness or tingling in the extremities), fatigue, depression, kidney disease, memory loss, tinnitus, migraine, macular degeneration, asthma, shingles, multiple sclerosis and Alzheimer’s disease.

Foods That Are High in Cobalamin

1. Salmon
2. Tuna
3. Cod
4. Shellfish
5. Beef
6. Yogurt
7. Milk
8. Eggs

Vitamin B-12 is synthesized by bacteria that are abundant in the soil. Cows eat grass and pull up clumps that have dirt attached. The organisms in the dirt that produce B-12 get absorbed into the bloodstream of the animals and go to their muscles. As you can see, if you are vegan or vegetarian, it is necessary to take supplemental B-12. The good news is that this vitamin is relatively inexpensive and easy to obtain. And, if you ate meat and eggs before becoming vegan, your body may have created a great store of B-12. Often, deficiencies don’t show up for years after making a lifestyle shift to vegetarian or vegan.

Sologuard Vegetarain B-12 can be obtained at most good natural food stores.

Try mixing the juice of one lemon and a teaspoon of baking soda in 24 ounces of water…enjoy!

Numerous studies have proven the anti-cancer properties of lemon. Lemon also provides other benefits, including its strong power in treating cyst and tumors.

Lemons have the power to cure cancer, since it has been tested on all cancer types. Adding baking soda makes it even more powerful, because baking soda brings pH to normal level.

Lemon also has potent antimicrobial effect in treating bacterial and fungal infections. It is effective in the fight against internal parasites and it regulates blood pressure. Lemon is beneficial for the nervous system as well – it is a powerful antidepressant, reducing stress and calming nerve crises.

One of the largest drug manufacturers claims that 20 laboratory experiments, conducted since 1970 until recently, proved that:

Lemon destroys cancer cells in 12 cancer types. It prevents metastasis of cancer cells and it is 10 000 stronger than drugs like Adriamycin, chemotherapy and narcotic products.

What is more interesting is the fact that the combination of lemon extract and baking soda destroys cancer cells only, without harming healthy cells and tissues.

Healing Touch is a form of energy based healing… now available at Living Arts Wellness

The human energy system consists of the energy field (sometimes called the aura), the energy centers (chakras) and the energy channels (meridians). Every day we encounter stresses and challenges to our body, mind and emotions:

Physical stresses from repetitive activities, poor posture, lack of sleep, and chemicals and other impurities in our water, food and air.

Mental stress from constant worry, mental challenges at work, anxiety and depression.
Emotional stress from relationship challenges, loss, life changes, and traumas.

All of this has an effect on our energy system, which in turn has an effect on our physical, mental and emotional health. When our energy system is strong we can usually process these challenges. But for most of us, that is not always the case. Our bodies want to move in the direction of health. Healing Touch puts the energy system back into alignment so that it can move in that direction more easily.

During a typical healing Touch session, I initially take a health history and clarify the client’s goals for seeking HT. During the session the client is lying fully clothed on a massage table (unless they are also receiving massage) with pillows and blankets for comfort. I then perform an initial assessment of the energy system using my hands to scan the energy field, and a pendulum to assess the energy flow of chakras, some meridians, and organs. Based on that assessment, the client’s intention for the session and my intuition, I use a sequence of healing techniques to clear, balance and strengthen the energy system.

While receiving Healing Touch, common experiences include deep relaxation, dream like images, insights into health or other life challenges, feelings of warmth, coolness, pressure and movement. After a session, most clients report feeling very relaxed, clear and energized.

The number of sessions needed, as with all modalities, depends on the client’s healing goals, how long the issue has been present, and current life circumstances and self-care.

Healing Touch is endorsed by the American Holistic Nurses Association and the National Certification Board for Massage and Bodywork, and is accredited by the American Nurses Credentialing Center and the National Commission for Certifying Agencies.

Current research is revealing the tangible health benefits of massage. A recent article in the Wall Street Journal lists benefits such as the reduction of stress hormones in the blood, a decrease in inflammatory proteins, and a boost in blood cells that fight infection.
