Right now I am returning home from the Longevity Now Conference, thinking and processing all the information and experiences I had while at the conference and while traveling. Some were quite startling. In the past when I was traveling, I had a lot of trouble finding my way around airports and hotels without getting lost. On this trip, though, I was leading the way in the airport instead of being led around by Denny. I normally was terrified of getting lost and would make Denny promise never to leave me. We just figured I had some kind of syndrome since childhood that from which I would never recover. Hmm… This was totally different! I felt like a different person! I could actually find my way around inside a building for the first time in my life.
How was this happening? I think what I’ve been eating every night for supper had had a healing effect on my brain! I started this supper for two reasons: 1. for my blood sugar control, since it was very low in carbs and I wanted to take less insulin. And, 2., it is delicious! Okay, my new supper for the last 2 months is:
2-4 tablespoons of raw butter from grassfed cows that I either buy from a farmer or make myself from raw cream
1-2 teaspoons colostrum from Surthrival
1/2-1 teaspoon Mucuna
a few sprinkles of stevia
Stir it all up like cookie dough.
Then I eat it with a tiny spoon so I can make this delicious goo last as long as possible. I got this idea from my daughter, Camille, who is practically famous for her goos or mashups. My recipe came to me through my taste buds and the desire for low carb cookie dough. But… I wonder if it’s one particular ingredient or the synergy of the combination? Mucuna is definitely a brain food, used as a supplement for treating Parkinson’s disease & other brain issues. Colostrum helps growth hormones to become active & is high in probiotics, so maybe it could clear up candida in the brain-gut connection. And then there’s the butter’s role in adding saturated fat to create healing in the brain which is practically made of fat! This whole experience has brought with it the realization that I may have — well I do have the very real ability to heal a condition that I have had for a long time. Which means to me that future healing could possibly be the type 1 diabetes…
Ok, we were just served coffee and tea. Yeah, I know, airplane coffee and tea—yuck!. But we’re not often on airplanes, so….’nuff said. Anyway, our flight attendant, a pleasant man, offered “dairy dust” when Denny asked for cream. When Denny declined, he said, “You know, better living through chemistry,” sarcastically quoting an old Monsanto commercial! It’s nice to see someone somewhat aware out in the “other world.”
Several thoughts have been ruminating for a while now. They center on the idea of the damage all grains are doing to human and animal health. So many people at the Longevity Conference were on gluten-free diets, not because they have an allergy to gluten, but because the over-consumption of gluten had made them sick, as it will eventually do to virtually everyone. But there were many people off all concentrated sweetener. So could I question, are gluten-containing grains concentrated sweetener? Remarkably the volunteer they assigned us to assist at our booth had been really sick with a low thyroid condition, exacerbated by gluten sensitivity. She was getting no help from the many medical doctors she had gone to for help. So she took her health into her own hands, doing her own research and seeking the help of alternative practitioners. Her health has dramatically improved, which brings up another point, self-healing is possible, finding your own way is also possible!
So now I’m back on the plane flying from Fort Worth to Boston. I’m remembering something Truth Caulkins said on an incredible panel with David Wolfe and Daniel Vitalis. Truth was saying something about that you heal in layers, and all you have to do is heal the next layer, that you don’t heal all at once. Heal the next layer, keep setting the intention, and then research and heal the next layer. I found that idea so very inspiring! So this was my next layer! I also noticed on this trip that I no longer minded sitting by someone I didn’t know. I used to make Denny sit next to people on the plane. So some of this healing may be because I now own a business. But I was newly brave enough to start a business and even write a book! Where did that bravery and willingness come from? I choose to believe that was a layer of healing, maybe even spiritual healing. But why separate the forms?
“Healing always depend on the individual: How conscious is that Soul?” The Language of Soul, by Harold Klemp.
” Spirit acts in a way that is for the good of the whole, sometimes bringing a healing of the emotions or the mind instead of the body, because that is in the best interests of that particular Soul’s unfoldment.” The Language of Soul, Harold Klemp
I’m looking at more layers of healing and being grateful. Sometimes you need to look back to see that you have had improvements. They happen so gradually you may not notice. I just realized that on the whole trip I did not have a headache from traveling. Usually my neck would go out & I would get a horrible headache, but my neck & head felt great for the whole trip. This is the first time I can ever remember this happening! So, I am just looking for what is going to be my layer of healing, but maybe you can’t know ahead of time. Just go for the goal & whatever comes, comes! Truth said see your goal fulfilled. So, for me that would be living without insulin injections & having full use of my hands. But, before that I would love to improve my eyesight, because writing this on my new phone is a real eye strain, & for that matter my hand is really cramping!
The first step to the next layer of healing is to get off GMO insulin. I freaked out when I found out that human insulin that I’ve been on for at least 14 years is genetically modified! Do I really want that in my body? I found some pork insulin from Canada. It’s not available in the US yet, so don’t get me started! My health, blood sugar control & condition of my hands have gotten worse & worse since I started on the GMO stuff. Would that have happened anyway? Who knows?
