Have you ever considered the fact that there might be a way you could feel better without too much effort on your part?
I didn’t realize it was possible and even balked at the idea when I first heard it. Oh, if only I had listened. It was 2017 and our little family was still having difficulties with anxiety and crankiness. Crankiness, that is a good description don’tcha think? It’s one of those words that does not need explaining.
What am I talking about? In 2017 I balked when my then husband recommended we turn off the WiFi before we went to sleep at night, to see if that helped us feel more rested in the morning. Boy, what I would do to turn back the clock.
I now only use Cat 7 ethernet cables to get computer service in my home. It is not that hard and it has made all the difference in my level of health. Less general aches and pain and less pain in nerve pathways that were damaged in the past.
The second easy switch is to flip the power off to the circuits in my bedroom at night before I hit the hay. When I wake up in the morning, I actually feel like I have had a deeper night’s sleep than the days when I don’t flip off the power. My feet actually feel like they are in better contact with the floor and my spirit feels a little lighter than usual, a feeling some might call hope.
Last off is turning my phone onto airplane mode. This way my phone is not constantly searching for a signal to pick up and vice versa. It is easy to forget to do this at night, so I have gotten in the habit of turning it on before I switch to my favorite nightly podcast on Spotify. Your alarm will still work however you will not receive texts or phone calls. I try to do this during the day for blocks of time as well as it helps me focus to get work done.
Less electrical activity in the air around you gives your body a break from the constant effort it must exert to maintain homeostasis. If you don’t mind, would you please do these things and then come back and comment on this blog post? Let us know, what did you notice? Did you feel any different when you woke up? Did you sleep through the night?
Much love, grace and peace to you,

Have you ever wondered what the effects are from all the new gadgets in our lives? You know, the smart phones, Alexa, smart watches, computers that can run without a cable to gather the data from the internet? Then there are the smart T.V.s and then came smart homes even. What many people are still unaware of is that we also have smart electric meters that make it so the man from the electric company no longer has to come to your home to read your electric usage.
How is it that all this data is transmitted? Well through the air waves of course. Hmmm. So what would that look like if we painted a picture of the inside of your home, or outside of it for that matter, with all the airwaves filled with electrical signals representing all the information traveling in the form of electrical waves? I imagine the air would look full so to speak.
And now, add your body into that picture and what would those electrical signals be doing? Going around your body to get to the “target”? Hmmm. No, the signals have to pass through your body to get where they are going, all the time. Twenty-four seven as it were. Have you ever wondered how that might effect your heart considering it runs on electrical signals? Or what about your nervous system? Do you think that it is effected? Yup, sure it is.
How is it that all the electrical devices were approved for sale as if they were safe and would not impact our bodies? It seems that the studies deeming these items as safe have used data that only reflects the damage that could come if the body were heated up, otherwise known as thermal effects. We know that if you cook something for a long time the form is definitely changed. The fact that our bodies are a very large receptor for electrical signals has not been factored into those studies. Low levels of radiation that don’t heat up your body do matter.
But, industry standards have set the bar so high that all the electrical devices that we enjoy the convenience of are deemed “safe”. Or are they? Actually there are 1,000’s of studies that would show otherwise but the telecom industry is still able to continue selling these devices that I will admit do make our lives so much more convenient and enjoyable. The problem is however, our bodies are being impacted whether you feel it or not. 
My journey of discovering why I had so much pain especially in nerve pathways that had injuries many years ago was a long one. It was not until my friend sent me a Youtube video that showed a man lying in a bed with a smart meter hooked up on the wall outside causing him to have heart arrythmias that I put two and two together that a little meter on the outside of my bedroom wall could be causing me such pain.
Smart meters actually put out signals pretty much constantly 24/7. There are electrical signals pulsating inside the walls of your house no matter if your electrical panel is turned off or on. Dirty electricity is thrown off your outlets and through the walls of your home all the time. How the body can handle it is hard to imagine. The truth is, there are effects, but they may be subtle enough that you aren’t even aware that is the problem.
When electricity was introduced in the late 1800’s and more commonly so into homes in the 1930’s, the level of health began a slow decline. Now, with literally hundreds of devices that people use much of the day every day, our society has never been sicker. Chronic illness is the new normal. No? Oh, but it is. You may not recognize it in yourself, but it would be worth bearing a very good look.
Have you gotten older and so tell yourself that the aching in your body is just normal? Problems with brain fog or your memory? How about your energy level? Do you wake up feeling refreshed from a good night’s sleep? Do you get a really bad cold every winter that sometimes goes into your lungs or sinuses?
If you are not sensitive to the electricity as in you are having significant pain, your body may be suffering but in ways that you do not identify as coming from our electric world also known as electrosmog. That back injury you had as a teenager seems to flaring up now in your older years, is that normal or is that electrosmog?
My message is simple yet profound. Find all the hidden sources of poison, so to speak, from our environment and eliminate what you can. The difference in your health I believe will be quite significant. It may take time for the body to repair itself, but my passion is to teach you how to do just that, get your body in the best position possible to heal itself. This is how we were made, with a body so amazing and powerful, it can heal itself. Now, we just need to position ourselves so that it can do it’s job.
If you are interested in having your home evaluated for electrosmog and maybe even holding a class for your friends on the same, please reach out and contact me through my website. We can change our environment one home, one person, one device at a time. It’s time we start taking back our power and our health. Don’t buy into the lie that aging must be so hard on the body.
Much love,
Paula Baron P.T.

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,

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.

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.
