How Wellness Became My Cause

There are many reasons…here are a few.

When I was growing up my grandmother was an amazing part of my life…she was my best friend and cheerleader. She was so full of spunk & humor…my friends called her “hot rod granny” – because she had a sporty Cougar and would squeal the tires when we asked her to lay a patch! Later in life, she developed Parkinson’s Disease, which took its toll on her quality of life…her hands shook so bad that she couldn't’ feed herself so it became necessary for one of us to go the nursing home each night to feed her and get her ready for bed.

Spending several days a week at the nursing home was a very sobering experience…even though its one of the nicest facilities in town, I am determined never to end up in one. The majority of the people on the nursing floor sit in their chairs or beds, day after day, waiting for someone to bring them food, dress them, take them to the bathroom…which often doesn't happen in time, say a kind word to them, many don’t seem to be aware of what’s going on and are being kept alive with drugs and Ensure. Not my idea of quality of life. In fact if you need incentive for making it a priority to age as well as possible go spend some time volunteering in one…its heartbreaking at times.

In the past year alone several people in my circle of family and friends have passed away due to Cancer…people of all ages and backgrounds. Others have Diabetes, Heart Disease, ALS, Parkinson’s Disease, Trigemina Neuralgia. All of them take numerous prescription drugs that help deal with the symptoms and discomfort of the disease but do nothing to eliminate them.

Add to that the children who have horrible eating habits, and based on what I now know about nutrition, if left to their own devices will end up in the above category…very,very, sad.

Perhaps, I’m being too much of an optimist by thinking that if all of our cells are being replaced yearly, that it’s possible to reverse much of the damage we have done to ourselves, largely due to poor nutrition. The other contributing factor to illness/disease is toxicity. It seems, again, based on research, that it would be in our best interest to make sure that the cells that are being replaced are the healthiest possible cells. Why isn't this common knowledge?

I’m so convinced that prevention of disease IS possible, based on countless studies and research, that I have become passionate about sharing this information, in hopes that some will take it seriously, and live healthier, more vibrant lives, and that it will be catching, people will eventually desire what we have! Especially, when they see that its true and it works.
