Boron plays a major role in preventing osteoporosis by reducing the loss of calcium and magnesium in urine, as these are responsible for building and maintaining strong bones. Boron elevates the level of serum, estrogen and calcium especially in women suffering from osteoporosis. It is essential for maintaining cells for the normal functioning of cell. It has been studied that deficiency of boron causes impair mental functioning and depressed mental alertness.

Boron is also important in the function of repairing joints and hence in prevention of arthritis. It also helps in prevention from tooth decay. It functions to regulate the level of calcium, magnesium, and phosphorous not only helps in maintaining strong bones but also in keeping teeth strong.

Boron is also involved in body metabolism which helps to regulate hormones. It regulates the level of testosterone in men which helps in maintaining muscle. It regulates the level of estrogen by converting it into vitamin D which in turn increases calcium absorption. It is required to strengthen bones and prevention from fractures. Boron also affects memory and brain function so that proper transfer of nutrient can take place throughout the body.

Benefits of Boron

• Build and maintain healthy bones.
• It is also necessary for the metabolism of calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium.
• Elevates levels of serum estrogen and ionized calcium.
• Boron benefits include proper brain functioning.

Lithium is a naturally occurring trace element that is found in water, soil and a number of fruits, vegetables and other plants. In the early 1950s, psychologists discovered that very large doses of one form of lithium could help control and/or prevent episodes of mania that occur in bipolar disorder.  Lithium is taken up by all plants, although it appears not to be required for their growth and development.

Many nutrition and health experts believe that daily consumption of up to 2 mgs of lithium may be necessary for a number of important cellular interactions.  At those levels, lithium seems to carry no risk of side effects, and several major studies in the 1970s suggest that there may be some very important benefits.

Uses and Benefits of Lithium

• Reduces aggressiveness, violence and self-destruction.
• The biochemical mechanisms of action of lithium appear to be multifactorial and are intercorrelated with the functions of several enzymes, hormones and vitamins, as well as with growth and transforming factors.
• Lithium appears to play an especially important role during the early fetal development as evidenced by the high lithium contents of the embryo during the early gestational period.
• Helps regulate nerve impulses by regulating sodium and potassium
• Increases lymphocytic production
• Influences distribution of sodium and potassium
• Influences sodium transport
• Possible cancer suppression
• Stabilizes serotonin transmission in the nervous system
• Suppresses some cells within the immune system thus enhancing the immune system
• Possibly helps increase brain matter (grey part)
• Possibly protects the brain and nerves against glutamates

Deficiency Symptoms of Lithium

• Depression, manic depressive disorders, mania, suicide, spousal and child abuse.
• Joint pain
• Nervous disorders
• Paranoid Schizophrenia

Toxicity: Tremors, drowsiness, headaches, confusion, restlessness, dizziness, psychomotor retardation, lethargy, coma.

Rich Food Sources of Lithium

• Among plants, lithium is retained most easily in foods of the nightshade family of plants, which include tomatoes and cucumbers and mushrooms. Seaweed and kelp often contain high levels of lithium.
• Apples, asparagus, bananas, cauliflower, cinnamon, cucumbers, lemons, lentils, marjoram, pepper, plant ash (shale), red cabbage,  sea vegetable, sugar cane, tomatoes, tobacco plant, mushrooms, whole grain foods, white cabbage and seeds.
• In general, diets rich in grains and vegetables may be expected to provide more lithium than diets rich in animal proteins. However, due to the uneven distribution of lithium on the earth’s crust, a predominantly vegetarian diet is not necessarily lithium rich.

Lithium May Help Alzheimer’s

Three research studies in 1999 and 2000 from Wayne State
University of Medicine found that low levels of lithium used
to treat manic depression were also effective in protecting
the brain against Alzheimer’s disease. A key protein needed
to protect the brain against Alzheimer’s is Bc1-2 (related to
the B-cell lymphoma/ leukemia-2 gene). Lithium is the first
substance found to increase the concentration of Bc1-2 in
brains tissue.

Alzheimer’s is characterized by the existence of
neurofibrillary “tangles” in the brain. These tangles are
enabled by a destructive protein called glycogen synthase
kinase 3b (GSK-3b). Lithium has been found to decrease the
supply of destructive GSK-3b in brain tissue.

The Wayne State researchers also found that the gray matter
of patients treated with lithium over time grew by
approximately 3%, regenerating even after loss of brain cells
due to injury or disease.

Hematite: Healing and Energetic Properties

Hematite, also spelled as haematite, is the mineralform of iron(III) oxide (Fe₂O₃), one of several iron oxides. Hematite crystallizes in the rhombohedralsystem, and it has the same crystal structure asilmenite and corundum. Hematite and ilmenite form a complete solid solution at temperatures above 950 °C.

Hematite is a mineral, colored black to steel or silver-gray, brown to reddish brown, or red. It is mined as themain ore of iron. Varieties include kidney ore, martite(pseudomorphs after magnetite), iron rose andspecularite (specular hematite). While the forms of hematite vary, they all have a rust-red streak. Hematite is harder than pure iron, but much more brittle.Maghemite is a hematite- and magnetite-related oxide mineral.

Huge deposits of hematite are found in banded iron formations. Grey hematite is typically found in places where there has been standing water or mineral hot springs, such as those in Yellowstone National Park in the United States. The mineral can precipitate out of water and collect in layers at the bottom of a lake, spring, or other standing water. Hematite can also occur without water, however, usually as the result ofvolcanic activity.

Clay-sized hematite crystals can also occur as a secondary mineral formed by weathering processes insoil, and along with other iron oxides or oxyhydroxides such as goethite, is responsible for the red color of many tropical, ancient, or otherwise highly weathered soils.

A short list of Hematite benefits:

Molybdenum is absorbed through the intestines and stored in the liver, bones, and kidneys. It is required for proper growth and development, the metabolism of fats and nucleic acids, metabolism of nitrogen, copper, and sulfur, and normal cellular functions. Cofactor in enzymatic systems involved in the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, proteins, sulfur-containing amino acids, nucleic acids (DNA, RNA) and iron. Helps prevent cavities. Cancer-preventative (esophagus, stomach), helps detoxify or eliminate harmful sulfites from the body.

Molybdenum is a very important mineral for regulating the pH balance in the body. For each one tenth of a pH point difference,  the oxygen level in the blood may increase or decrease by ten times. Although molybdenum helps to induce sleep, it also helps promote a general sense of well being.  With molybdenum’s ability to change the body’s pH, it is very beneficial in the treatment of many severe illnesses. in helping to control viruses and parasites. A high amount of molybdenum in the body could interfere with the absorption of copper

Molybdenum deficiency may include acne, allergies, anemia, anthrax, asthma, athletes foot, bells palsy, bladder infection, cancer, candida, canker sore, cavities, colds, flu, depression, diabetes, e-coli, eczema, Epstein Barr virus, liver damage, sclerosis, lupus, Lyme disease, multiple sclerosis, obesity, parasites, prostate infection, and ringworm.

Humans require very small amounts of molybdenum, and deficiency appears to happen only under the rarest of circumstances.

Food Sources :  legumes, such as beans, peas, lima beans and lentils; grains, such as barley and buckwheat,  leafy vegetables; sunflower seeds,  whole grains and nuts. However, the amount of molybdenum in plants varies according to the amount in the soil.

Healing/recovery from any mental, physical, emotional, or spiritual illness follow a familiar pattern which you may already know.

These “Rules of Recovery” are from the most famous recovery source of all: Alcoholics Anonymous – The 12 Step Program.

Recovery becomes the search for serenity. You may remember the famous Serenity Prayer:
“God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can; and the wisdom to know the difference.”

1> RECOGNIZE THAT YOU HAVE A “REAL” PROBLEM

You can never heal any problem unless you first admit that you have one (see the “Rules #4: Healing”). In fact, from the moment you recognize you have a problem, your healing process begins. In the language of 12 Steps, “we admitted we were powerless over our problems (fill in the blank with your problems): that our lives had become unmanageable”. We promise ourselves “we are going to know a new freedom and a new happiness”. We choose to know “hope instead of desperation”.

2> YOU NEED HELP FROM OTHERS TO SOLVE YOUR PROBLEM

If you could solve the problem on your own, you would have. When you cannot, you need to get help. In the language of 12 Steps, “we came to believe that a power greater than ourselves could restore us to a joyous and peaceful way of thinking and living “. We promise ourselves “we will not regret the past nor wish to shut the door on it”. We choose to know “faith instead of despair”.

3> BECOME OPEN TO RECEIVING THIS HELP FROM OTHERS

Knowing that you need help is no good unless you are open to receiving it. Openness to receiving help always involves courage to make an extraordinary leap of faith. For to heal, we must put ourselves in the hands of others. In the language of 12 Steps, “we made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of this power of our own understanding”. So we promise ourselves “we will fully comprehend the word serenity”. We choose to know “courage instead of fear”.

4> AGREE TO DISCOVER THE INNER CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM

Your illness and your problems are intensely personal and meant to propel you on a journey of learning (see the “Rules #7: Illness”). You cannot heal the problem unless you are willing to discover it’s inner cause. You cannot discover the inner cause unless you are willing to look within. In the language of 12 Steps, “we made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves”. We promise ourselves “we will know peace”. We choose to know “peace of mind instead of confusion”.

5> ADMIT TO OTHERS THE EXACT NATURE OF YOUR PROBLEM

Admitting your problems to others is what allows the darkness to be brought to light and is what allows the healing to transform your state of being. Admitting your problems to others allows them to benefit by avoiding the mistakes you have made. In the language of 12 Steps, “we admitted to this power of our own understanding, to ourselves and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs”. We promise ourselves “no matter how far down the scale we have gone, we will see how our experience can benefit others “. We choose to know “self-respect instead of self-contempt” because we believe we are worthy.

6> MAKE THE COMMITMENT TO CHANGE FOR THE BETTER

Changing for the better is simple but often hard to do. It is simply this: “Choose to love at every moment: forgive everyone, everything”. For negative emotions – like fear, hate, anger – lie at the bottom of illnesses and love is the cure. In the language of 12 Steps, “we were entirely ready to have all these defects or character removed”. We promise ourselves “the feelings of uselessness and self-pity will disappear “. We choose to know “self-confidence instead of helplessness “.

7> ASK OTHERS TO HELP YOU CHANGE FOR THE BETTER

Change can happen in an instant. To make sure that the change lasts, we need the help of God and all other people in our lives to keep our feet planted on the path of change. For know that if we do not stick to the necessary changes we have agreed to make in our lives, our problems will return to us. They return until we have learned our lessons or our bodies-minds have no choice but to die. If we die, it so that we can get another chance to learn to love. In the language of 12 Steps, “we humbly asked God to remove our shortcomings”. We promise ourselves “we will lose interest in selfish things and gain interest in others”. We choose to know “the respect of others instead of their pity and contempt”.

8> PUT THE PAST BEHIND YOU AND MAKE A NEW START

You life can only begin anew once you have agreed to put the past behind you. You cannot change the past, you can only become willing to make amends for it. Others may or may not forgive you. Whether they do or not, realize that you are making amends primarily for your peace of mind and to ingrain in you the habit of always projecting love. In the language of 12 Steps, “we made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all”. We promise ourselves “self-seeking will slip away”. We choose to know “a clean conscience instead of a sense of guilt” because today is the first day of the rest of our life.

9> TAKE STEPS TO “SHOW” YOU HAVE MADE A NEW START

Our bodies and minds were not meant to hold negative emotions – they were meant to receive and give love unconditionally. We cannot heal our bodies-minds as long as we continue to drink in the poison that sustained negative emotions and bad treatment of ourselves and others produce in us. In the language of 12 Steps, “we made direct amends to such people (including ourselves) wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others”. We promise ourselves “our whole attitude and outlook on life will change”. We choose to know “friendships instead of loneliness” because we know that we are loving and loveable.

10> IMPLEMENT THE CHANGE EVERY DAY, ONE DAY AT A TIME

To be effective and long lasting, change must be a continuous daily process. Many fail to make changes because doing so forever seems overwhelming. The process becomes manageable when we take it one day at a time and allow ourselves to have setbacks without ever giving up on ourselves. In the language of 12 Steps, “we continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it”. We promise ourselves “fear of people and insecurity will leave us”. We choose to know “a clean pattern of life instead of a purposeless existence “.

11> GOD WILL ALWAYS HELP YOU EVERY STEP OF THE WAY

Opening ourselves to God’s help is the only way that we ultimately succeed. In the language of 12 Steps, “we sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God, as we understood God, praying only for knowledge of God’s will for us and the power to carry that out”. We promise ourselves “we will intuitively know how to handle situations which used to baffle us”. We choose to see “the love and understanding of our families instead of their doubts and fears”.

12> AS WE HELP OTHERS TO HEAL, WE HEAL OURSELVES

In the language of 12 Steps, “having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these twelve steps, we tried to carry this message to others, and to practice these principles in all our affairs “. We promise ourselves “we will suddenly realize that God is doing for us what we could not do for ourselves “. We choose to know “the freedom of a happy life instead of the bondage of our problems”.

If you are not covinced that these rules are for real, see how they relate to the Top 10 Causes of Death… take a few minutes to save your life.

For Those in Healing

Just in case you wondered if there are rules for healing there are…

The truth is the healing rules listed below operate very impersonally just like any other physical phenomenon.

Follow these rules and you will heal. For these rules will put you on the road to recovery. Ignore them and you will continue to be ill.

No one is free from them ever. So either you decide to work with these healing rules or you will constantly bang into them.

The choice is yours.

1> YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE WHO EVER HEALS YOURSELF

You heal for two reasons. One, you believe you deserve to heal and that belief manifests as your desire to be healed. Two, your desire to be healed manifests as action on your part to get healed. So many people delay, deny, and diffuse their healing because, at bottom, they do not want to live. The desire for healing is truly the desire for living. You will only heal if you really want to live.

2> TRUE HEALING COMES FROM WITHIN YOURSELF

No one outside of you can take responsibility for your problems. This means that no one outside of you can really heal you. The truth is that healers are merely facilitators and vehicles for your healing. Healers can advise you, counsel you, and prescribe treatments for you but they cannot heal you. Only you can heal the spiritual cause (“as above”) of your body-mind problem (“so below”).

3> YOU ARE TOTALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR HEALING

When you go to see a healer, you go for a few hours a week at most (unless you are seriously ill). So do the math: the rest of the time your healing is totally up to you. It’s your job to take the medicine the healer has prescribed. It’s your job to do the things the healer has told you to do. It’s your job to assess if the healer is helping you or if you should find another one. So if you are not getting the results you want from your healing, the first place to look for answers is in the mirror.

4> YOUR STATE OF WELLNESS IS YOUR STATE OF BEINGNESS

Everything in the universe is energy. We may appear to be “solid” matter but looks can be deceiving. If you magnify your cells down to your atoms, you would see that you are made up of subtle energy fields and not matter. Your body-mind is constantly radiating, absorbing, and conducting this energy. Every action, every thought, every choice effects your energy field.

Dis-eases occur in the body-mind due to imbalances and blockages in your energy field resulting from how much/little you have honored the needs of your body- mind-spirit, respected your path, and learned your lessons. In the long run, your state of wellness is the net result of your state of beingness: body, mind, and spirit.

5> YOUR BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT ARE ONE BEING

Looking back one hundred years ago, we are amazed that anyone could believe that you could heal the body without healing the mind. Looking forward one hundred years from now, people will be amazed that anyone could believe that you could heal the body and the mind without addressing the spiritual issues arising from the manner in which you conduct your life. Your body, mind, and spirit are intimately connected and act as one. Your body-mind-spirit connect you to your lessons, your path, and to the oneness of the universal collective consciousness.

6> YOU WILL NOT HEAL IF YOU DO NOT LEARN YOUR LESSONS

The Earth is a big schoolhouse. You are here to learn lessons (if you have not already consulted Rules #1 for Being Human, please do so). There are many ways for you to learn your lessons. You can learn through pleasure or pain. The God Self within you, your Higher Self, is the one who sent you the problem to be healed to advance your learning. So the best way to heal your problems is to accept that you have lessons to learn and to do your best to master them.

7> YOU CAUSED THE PROBLEM AND ARE THE CURE

Your life is always up to you: do not ever allow anyone to convince you otherwise. Too many people too often allow those in the healing professions to define their lives by accepting the life or death sentences the healers decree. Only God is perfect: any human healer can be wrong (even me).

Case in point: if I had believed my doctors I would have died by 21, yet somehow I have lived to be 49+. I lived because I accepted that I had caused my problems and the answers to them lay within me. I was born deeply wounded because I had wounded others… but it was my wounds that led to my gifts. I healed because I forgave myself. I forgave myself because God loved and forgave me.

8> HEALING UNLEASHES YOUR NATURAL ABILITY TO HEAL

Benjamin Franklin said “God does the work (of healing) and the physician takes the fee”. And it’s true. Your body-mind was designed to be a self-maintaining system, automatically correcting for the problems inevitable to your existence on Earth. In fact, the truth is that you are always sick because your body-mind is in a continual state of fighting off threats from your environment.

You become ill when the body-mind is too overburdened by afflictions to go on functioning normally. Dis-eases and dis-orders result when long standing threats to the body-mind-spirit go untreated for too long. Death is only inescapable when the energy field is so degraded that the physical matter cannot be supported.

9> CURES HEAL ONLY IF THEY CREATE ENERGY HARMONY

The energy field that surrounds, penetrates, and binds your body-mind-spirit is in a perpetual state of activity. It is constantly in motion, continuously taking in and sending out vibrating energy waves. It processes signals of energy created by your actions, your thoughts, and your emotions as well as by your environment and lifestyle choices (food, sleep, exercise, etc).

Medicine, drugs, or herbs work to heal your body-mind because the vibration they produce has the right harmonic relationship to the part of the body-mind currently in a state of dis-ease. These harmonic boosts serve as an aid to the the self regulating mechanisms of body-mind in eliminating the energetic imbalance that caused the dis-ease to begin with. For only a balanced field can supply the body-mind with sufficient energy to maintain a healthy state of matter.

10> GREATEST HEALING TOOLS YOU HAVE ARE LOVE AND JOY

One of the best physicians there is has the sign saying “Laughter is the Best Medicine” prominently displayed in his office. That’s just goes to prove that the best things in life are still free – even in a doctor’s office! When people come to me for healing, I always know that those who can laugh about their ills and have a sense of humor about their problems will do the best. No matter what treatment you are on, it can always be improved by “a smile a day to keep the doctor away”.

11> TO HEAL IS TO ACHIEVE A BALANCED STATE OF WELLNESS

Simply defined, healing is achieving and maintaining a state of “wellness”. Wellness flows from fully developing each dimension of body, mind, and spirit and finding an overall balance between them. Ultimately, this balance is achieved by honoring your spiritual path and your unique purpose in life.

12> HEALING IS NOT ONLY REPAIR BUT ENHANCEMENT

Most view healing as a process of just “repairing” problems. Yet when all the repairs are completed, continuing the healing process takes you to the next level of your growth and enhancement. The universe is a continuously unfolding and expanding creation and there is always more to explore and to grow. Healing is the means to get you there: it becomes a journey and not just a destination.

If you are not convinced that these rules are for real, see how they relate to the Top 10 Causes of Death… take a few minutes to save your life.

If you want to clear, heal, and balance your karma, there are additional rules you will need to consult… the Rules of Past Life Healing.

For Those in Illness

Just in case you wondered if there are rules for illness there are…

The truth is the illness rules listed below operate very impersonally just like any other physical phenomena.

Follow these rules and you will heal. For these rules will put you on the road to recovery. Ignore them and you will continue to be ill.

No one is free from them ever. So either you decide to work with these illness rules or you will constantly bang into them.

The choice is yours.

1> ILLNESS ALWAYS HAS A PURPOSE – IT IS ALWAYS PERSONAL

The first thing anyone asks once they have contracted a serious illness is “Why me?” The question gets asked without the person expecting the answer. Yet there is an answer and it is “you agreed to it in advance for your own growth”. This is directly contrary to the strongly held societal belief that illness is something that “happens to us”, that somehow it is outside ourselves.

The truth is that your illness has everything to do with you. Your illness has been directed at you by spirit. Usually you agreed to it before you incarnated here. Or more often you contracted it while you were “down here” because you strayed from your path. Your illness is meant to propel you on a journey of self-discovery. If you cannot accept this, then your illness will be harder than it has to be.

2> ILLNESS REFLECTS A STATE OF DIS-EASE WITH YOUR LIFE

If you have ever noticed that most people seem to be in a perpetual state of complaining about their lives, it is because they have “forgotten” why they are here. People are here on Earth to learn lessons and, in general, have chosen to accept experiences that are harder than they can handle – hence the complaints.

This usually manifests as a profound state of dis-ease with their life. This feeling of dis-ease, if deep and long standing, manifests as illness. Thoroughly joyful, ecstatic people are usually in great health. If they do have serious illness, it is because they have chosen it at the level of spirit to advance their learning (and they know it!).

3> ILLNESS=IMBALANCES IN GIVING/RECEIVING LOVE

When we are babies, most of us are bathed in love. Babies are totally focused on getting and giving love every moment of every day. Often, they get touched, hugged, and kissed more as babies than they will for the rest of their lives. In return, babies are absolutely not afraid to give love or to get it.

As we grow older, we are taught to fear getting or giving love. Love becomes associated with pain and we narrow the circle of those we allow to come close enough to us to exchange love. Yet love is as important to our health as the air we breathe or the food we eat. When we are chronically unable to give or receive love, the lack of this vital nutrient always manifests as illness in our bodies or minds.

4> ILLNESS=LACK OF/DERAILING LIFE’S PURPOSE & MEANING

Even when we are receiving and giving our minimum daily requirement of love, we still can be starved for another vital nutrient. This is the inherent need in each one of us to find purpose and meaning in our lives.

At some point as we grow older, we must ask ourselves: “Am I leading the life I want to lead?” and “Am I the person that I want to be?” If the answers to these two questions are “No”, this never fails to induce a profound state of dis-ease in our lives. Either we take the action that is needed to turn those “No-s” into “Yes-es” or illness will manifest in our bodies-minds.

5> ILLNESS=RESULT OF HOW YOU HAVE LIVED YOUR LIFE

It is amazing how readily when can accept that this is true for other people and not for ourselves. It makes sense to us that women we know, who cannot accept their femininity, contract breast and/or ovarian cancer or that men who, struggle with their masculinity, contract prostate cancer. Or that those who have been inflexible all their lives manifest the rigidity in their bodies as arthritis. Or that those who have difficulty speaking up for themselves end up with throat cancer.

Yet, we all have a blind spot when it comes to ourselves that keeps us from seeing how our conduct is helping or harming our overall health. The truth is “the fault lies not in our stars, but in ourselves…”

6> ILLNESS=CHRONIC PATTERNS OF SPEAKING & THINKING

Everything you think and speak, in essence, is a command to the universe. So if you are always thinking and saying “I’m tired”, then you should not be surprised when you always are. Of if you are always thinking and saying “I’m going to die before my time”, then you will. So watch your thoughts and your words for these are your spiritual commands that will manifest in your body-mind.

7> ILLNESSES ORIGINATE AND HEAL IN YOUR ENERGY FIELD

Unless you are on the brink of death, before you seek a cure by chopping (major surgery), burning (laser/radiation), or poisoning (hard “drugs”) your body or mind, first give peace a chance. You owe it to yourself to seek cures that work with your body and mind instead of against them.

Do energy work, meditation, visualization – anything you can – to avoid the drastic measures that chopping, burning, and poisoning present. Since you are all energy, the problem and the solution healing to your illness begin and end in your energy field. For more, see the “Rules for Healing“!

8> ILLNESS CURED BY ACCEPTING & MASTERING IT’S LESSONS

If you are looking for a miracle cure, here it is: “Choose to love at every moment: forgive everyone, everything.” This magic cure will speed you through whatever lessons you have to learn. When you have learned your lessons, the clouds of illness hanging over you will magically part – with one important exception. That is where death has been deemed as the ONLY way for you to learn. Yet we are all creators here so anything is possible. See the “Rules #1 for Being Human”…

9> MORE SERIOUS THE ILLNESS=GREATER NEED FOR CHANGE

In the spirit worlds, those on the Earth plane with serious illnesses are called butterflies. This is because illness has put them into a cocoon of survival. To keep on living, the “butterfly” must struggle and force it’s way out of the cocoon by learning the lessons that life has to teach. The more serious the illness, the greater the need to change ways of life that no longer serve the individual.

10> ILLNESS STAYS WITH YOU IF YOU IGNORE IT’S LESSONS

Illness used to be the greatest excuse in my arsenal for not living. As long as I ignored it, illness clung to me. Once I “listened” to it, my illness fell away. So no excuses: just choose to live!!! For more, see the “Rules for Recovery”!

11> IGNORANCE OF ILLNESS FEEDS IT’S POWER OVER YOU

The saying the “ignorance of the law is no excuse” is never more true than when it comes to illness. Illnesses run like trains on a predefined track with predetermined timetables. While you choose to ignore the illness, it keeps going, chugging on schedule down the track. Ignoring it never stops the illness train. What stops it is a conscious desire on your part to switch to a safer length of track.

12> ONLY YOU CAN REALLY KNOW YOUR ILLNESS

You are the only one who lives inside your skin: 7 days a week, 24 hours a day. When it comes to diagnosing and treating your condition, the difference between you and your doctor/healer is that they have read more books than you have and they have more practical experience with healing dis-eases than you have.

When it comes to caring about and understanding your condition, never forget that only you really care and only you really understand because only you are living with it. You can always learn more about your condition but your doctor can never live inside your skin. So until they do, you will always know best. So listen to the doctor but be sure to follow your heart and your gut.
