Bowel Regulation Using Natural Supplements Rather Than Synthetics (Biohacking Series 25 of 25)

Bowel Regulation Using Natural Supplements Rather Than Synthetics (Biohacking Series 25 of 25)

When you consider all the natural plants and supplements that can get the bowels moving it has to make you stop and wonder, why do you usually get recommended to take a synthetic chemical produced in the lab that can also be used as an engine lubricant?  Hmmmm…
 
I don’t know why, or I guess I could surmise a few reasons but that is not the point of this blog.  The point of this blog is to tell you what I did with my son for many years and quite successfully I might add. 
 
When my son was young, maybe two years old, I found he was going downhill in the energy department. Now, I don’t think this was just because he was lacking in minerals but that definitely was part of it.  We actually had been living in a home that had black mold spores floating around and sewer gases, unbeknownst to us.  Invisible poisons that were changing the landscape or as some would say, the terrain of our intestinal microbiome, not to mention our lungs and skin.  
 
Sadly, it would be over 6 years before we discovered it and this time included the conception and birth of our second son who was diagnosed with the two genes for Cystic Fibrosis at a mere 2 weeks old.  Maybe you are familiar with that?  By that I mean, the phone call that turned your world seemingly upside down.  
 
When he was just over three and our older son just over 8 years old, we would finally discover the reason we were all getting ill.  Mold.  Before the discovery however, I discovered the beauty of liquid minerals, containing mostly magnesium but also trace minerals important for cellular health as well as energy and GI motility.  
 
My son would take this for several years until he could take capsules. But then I also had to find a replacement for the minerals.  But this may be a little off course.   The point I am trying to get across is that the importance of magnesium and other minerals to keep the body properly functioning cannot be underestimated.  
 
This includes the significant issue of bowel motility.  If changing the diet does not take care of the issue, then it bears considering what else the body needs to function at it’s best.  Magnesium.  Vitamin C.  Vitamin D.  CBD.  Yes, CBD.  All of these nutraceuticals (fancy word for food supplements or vitamin supplements) help to keep the functions of the body, well, functioning!  
 
What if the slow down of the bowels is not due to sticky mucus but actually due to a lack of vitamins and minerals that a normal body needs and the person with CF genes may need even a bit more due to absorption issues and/or sticky mucus?
 
This is where it is critical to watch and observe the function of the GI tract, the sooner in life you keep this moving the better for the health of the child.  Epsom salts are largely comprised of magnesium, so why not give a baby a bath in Epsom salts?  It can help your child also get a great night’s sleep as well as get magnesium into the body through the skin, thereby skipping the GI tract.  It is calming and can help with your child’s emotions as well.  Put a drop of lavender into the salts and you also help the child relax and feel that all is well.  
 
The other neutraeutical that is helpful for moving things along is vitamin C.  The body does not make Vitamin C so it is important that a person gets enough through food and supplementation.  Some say you cannot take too much Vitamin C, but I do think there is a balance.  It also matters the source of the vitamin C and how it is processed.  
 
Last, pure powerful essential oils used consistently over time will also help keep the motility closer to normal.  There are several different options for which oils will help, but a few of my favorites are fennel and cardamom.  Herbs are similar to essential oils but not as powerful as a combination of the two.
 
This is what I have discovered after studying the oils and using them with myself and my son to help us keep our digestive systems regulated.  It is important to know the source of the oils you are using and how to use them safely.  That is what I love to do.  Help people do things more naturally.  
 
If this interests you, please feel free to reach out to me via FB messenger or through my contact page at www.pureliving316.com.  God gave us all we needed to expectorate, facilitate and break up fecal matter in the intestines and really, mucus throughout the body.  It is just a case of knowing how to do it with wisdom, safety and in amounts that will get you the desired result.    
 
Please reach out to me if you have any questions.  
 
Much love and thanks for reading,

Getting Your Good Fats For Cystic Fibrosis (Biohacking Series 24 of 25)

Getting Your Good Fats For Cystic Fibrosis (Biohacking Series 24 of 25)
 
When I started going to the clinic with my son what seems like forever ago and yet not that long ago, they definitely stressed he would need a high fat diet.  McDonalds?  Oh yeah.  Biscuits?  Oh yeah and make sure to have lots of gravy with those biscuits.  Hamburgers?  Order with extra cheese please.  
 
Something deep down in my soul silently cried out that this could not be right.  Why would someone with a digestive problem that could not digest fats properly, then proceed to eat much more of them?  And what about plant-based fats?  I asked the doctor a question about olive oil and he looked at me kind of funny and said to ask the dietician. 
 
Anyhow, I never did adhere to the instructions given to me at the clinic, but instead opted for plant based fats.  I admit, getting a lot of calories in took more creativity and effort than if I had gone the fast food route or double cheeseburger route, but he steadily gained weight even if some visits it was just a pound or two.  Keeping his digestive tract “clean” with healthy foods to keep it functional was a key I believe to his being able to absorb and grow.  Plenty of good rest was also part of the puzzle.  

 
When faced with taking a medication that requires fatty food intake twice a day on top of meals, I believe it is crucial for our CF community to stick to plant-based fats.  So, how does one do this?  
 
Avocadoes have been my favorite way to get fat into my son and when I don’t have a fresh avocado on hand I can sneak some avocado oil into his strawberry smoothie.  No one is the wiser.    A handful of cashews or almonds can be the other way to accomplish getting the good fats in or even a mug of warm water with ghee butter and a little mineral salt.  Tastes good and also helps to get the salt and mineral needs met, along with helping to cleanse the liver.  
 
Chicken broth, although not plant based, if it is made from bones and butter added to it, will give you the benefits of bone broth and good fat.  Coconut milk has plant-based fat in it, or you can have hard boiled eggs on hand, or a quick celery stick with nut butter. I prefer one called “Nutzzo” because it does not contain peanuts, yet it is the best tasting peanut butter alternative that I have tasted to date.  Almond butter is a close second.   

Energy balls made with oats, nut butter and maple syrup rolled in coconut flakes would be a good choice as well! I've also seen recipes for chocolate fudge made using dark cacao powder and coconut oil.  Breads made with almond or coconut flour toasted and topped with ghee butter would be excellent. 


 
Pouring a little grapeseed oil into your morning oatmeal or bowl of black beans also helps with getting good fat with no change in taste of the food that you are eating.  Olive oil can be used to make salad dressings and is much healthier than the forms of oils commonly used in commercially prepared dressings.  
 
I used to eat avocadoes with a dash of salt and Italian dressing on top of a saltine cracker.  Substitute almond crackers for the saltines and you have increased your fat intake a bit more.  The ways to get plant-based fats in for taking meds and proper weight gain are many, but most are not available on the go, as in going through a drive through.  So, proper planning is a must.  

There are other options for sure, but I wanted to list some plant based ones as it can be very tempting to eat a lot of dairy when wanting to increase fat intake but unfortunately that causes an increase in mucus production and may also contribute to constipation.  
 
So my last solution for “on-the-go” plant based fats would be energy bars made largely from nuts.  Or simply taking a jar of “Nutzzo” on the go, with a couple extra spoons.  Just so ya know, I do not get a kick back from the “Nutzzo” company.    I get it at Costco and while it is not inexpensive, the amount of good fat in it makes it worth the purchase price to me.  And nuts that have been ground up are easier to digest and assimilate. Win-win!
 
 As always, I pray you are in good health, 
Love and peace, 

Paula Baron P.T.

Herbs and Bitters and What They Do For Your Appetite For Sugar (Biohacking Series 23 of 25)

Herbs and Bitters and What They Do For Your Appetite For Sugar (Biohacking Series 23 of 25)

When I started using essential oils 7 years ago I remember someone saying if you feel like the entire box of Oreo cookies needed to be eaten at one time then you might have a sugar addiction.  I also remember them advising “my friend” who had this problem, to use dill essential oil to curb the cravings for serious amounts of sugar.  

I just could NOT imagine that could really work or maybe it was just because I, ahem, I mean, “my friend” enjoyed her sugary treats.  The problem was, so did the intestinal bacteria in “my friend’s” gut.  Over time, what started as food poisoning became a cause for weight gain as the microbiome in her stomach went topsy turvy.  Yes, I know, topsy turvy is not exactly a medical term, but I am working to keep this blog to generalities, as that is probably most accurate and honest.  

My friend’s cravings for sugar intensified and so did her weight.  Weight had not been a problem for over twenty years but now, with the microbiome disturbed and the stress levels high, the pounds kept adding up.  Then, the hormones began to go off balance again.  Not addressing this craving had high consequences.  

When a person has a disease that causes chronic inflammation, the risk of infection increases as the body, although trying to protect itself may inadvertently now trap the very bacteria it was trying to effectively deal with.  Ironic, isn’t it?  

Adding to the inflammation by eating sugar just inflames the problem.  Pun intended.  #sorrynotsorry.  Seriously though, sugar and especially sugar combined with dairy compounds the inflammatory issue and there is not a lot supplements can do.  Hold the inflammation at bay?  Maybe a bit, but ultimately, it will take some specific initiatives if one wants to REALLY get rid of inflammation and therefore decrease the flare ups in diseases with potential for chronic inflammation, not to mention infection.  

So how does one address the issue of a sugar addiction?  Will power is a good start but I truly believe that there needs to be a shift in one’s thinking and then the use of herbs and bitters in a capsule or as an essential oil applied to the skin.

I know, you are wondering how do you shift your thinking?  “My friend” asked the same thing.  Hehe.  There is a process called Aroma Freedom Technique.  It has to do with goal setting and clearing emotions using the powerful molecules of pure essential oils that travel up into the brain via the olfactory nerve to centers in the brain that are known to be called the seat of trauma.   This part of the brain is more specifically called the amygdala.  


I am finishing up my certification in this area of expertise, so please stay tuned for opportunities to do some group clearings.  The more people I work with at once, the more cost effective it is for everyone.  If you simply cannot wait, feel free to contact me via Fb messenger.  

Much love, 

Paula Baron P.T.

Welcome to Pure Living 316
Welcome to Pure Living 316, a company that provides multiple services including Home Safety Evaluations that help you to eliminate the most common sources of EMF and RF that could be causing you harm.  This evaluation will offer possible sources and then solutions to decrease the amount of electro smog in your home.  We are not guaranteeing a change in your health but I would be surprised if you did not feel the difference once you put the recommended changes in place.  (I provide these for the DFW area in Texas, if you live somewhere else, please read on for other ways in which I can help you). Cost is $250.

That being said, I would like to let you know a little bit about what I recommend when looking at the WHOLE picture, if you are having unexplained health problems.  The body needs care in multiple ways, the most powerful way after getting rid of as much electrical noise as possible is to change your diet.  Gluten and dairy can wreak havoc on a body’s systems.  

The other major change is the amount of exercise and getting on the actual ground.  You may have heard of grounding?  Getting outside with nature, when possible, barefoot is best.  

The other MAJOR ways to impact your health include getting rid of as many products that contain synthetic ingredients as you can.  Bath, body, home cleaning, makeup and medicines that are able to be switched out using a plant-based solution. 

When I refer to using plant-based products, that means they will contain essential oils.  And not just any but pure 100% therapeutic grade that have been safely sourced.  The goal is to raise our frequency so that we are not susceptible to everyday microbes we come into contact with.  

Essential oils have a frequency, just as every other living thing has a frequency.  Applying plants daily is the goal I have for everyone I encounter, because of the powerful role they play in wellness.  If you are interested, I have a scanner that can read the bodies frequencies and let you know which products would benefit it best.  

My company I distribute products for is the world’s leader in producing essential oils.  We have over 600 products including bath, body, a home cleaning line, supplements, shakes and bars as well as a weight loss line.  My #1 product I suggest people begin with is a starter bundle of the Thieves line.  This bundle contains many of your everyday products, making it easy to start by getting rid of synthetic ingredients in your most common everyday household products you use.  After that, I recommend getting a diffuser to use by your bed at night.  Getting a good night’s sleep is crucial to restoring your body’s health to a higher level of function.  

If you like my services, I would appreciate referrals and with it I gift you an oil from our “vitality” line, one that you can add to your water throughout the day.  Lemon, lime, orange and citrus fresh are uplifting, peppermint and spearmint help with digestion and keep you more alert when you inhale them as well as *ingest them.

Much love, grace and peace to you,    
 
     Paula

*Please do not ingest oils from other companies, unless the label actually tells you it is safe to do so.
