What if I were to tell you about a story of what seems like the impossible. Would you listen? Would you believe? That’s what today’s blog will be about, a story that while it seems like it would be impossible, let me tell you, I lived it and it is possible.
Easy? Far from it. Quick? Not at all. Neverending? It sure seemed like it. But it did finally come to an end.
What am I talking about? A child conceived and born with two abberant genes for Cystic Fibrosis to a 43 year old mother who was already unknowingly infected with black mold from a house full of invisible spores. I guess that right there could be miracle enough, but the story goes on much further.
Our baby boy was born at 12:34 pm, a healthy 8 lbs 3 ounces however a code had to be called because he wasn't breathing and his skin was an awful shade of blue. Thankfully his breathing was cleared almost immediately and it seemed like all was well after that until his night feeds. It seemed like he was hurting.
We got “the call” at two weeks saying there was an abnormality on the new born screen but the pediatrician assured us they often have false positives, so the hospital lab would run the test a second time for Cystic Fibrosis.
Sure enough a week later, we found ourselves at a pulmonary clinic in Ft. Worth Texas, where we were told of all the grim details of a disease that was known to be progressive. My husband at the time asked the dreaded question regarding our son’s life expectancy. The doctor explained that it had been twelve years old but recently the average life span with someone having these genes was 34.
I was angry, hurt, sad, confused, bewildered, exasperated. I was numb and I was horrified all at the same time. How could this be true? This was supposed to be a pregnancy of redemption. I had thought that for his whole pregnancy, but I thought it was just about me. You see my life had been filled with serious abuse in my childhood and my first pregnancy was fairly rough. So, I thought God had promised me a free ride so to speak with baby number two.
That’s what happens when I don’t ask too many questions but go on my human natural minded assumptions. I had been attending a church that operated in the prophetic, giving words “in due season” as it is called. This is where someone tells you some insight into your life that may be true right then or in the coming years. It is always a positive encouraging word, so I interpreted that my pregnancy of redemption would be a really blessed event from start to finish.
What I learned later was that when something is redeemed, it is bought and paid for with a price. This pregnancy was not a free ride but a blessing of difficulties that would later be used to help many many people, including myself.
It would bring people to the saving knowledge of Jesus and a God who did see and care about the difficulties they were facing when struck with a child having a potentially life-threatening disease.
Our son actually looked great and grew well once getting on the life saving enzymes at that first appointment with the CF clinic. But what we would come to discover when he was three years old was we all were getting sicker and sicker due to the invisible source of black mold and sewer gases coming up via the pipes in the bathrooms and kitchen sink.
The builder did not cap off the main clean out and so the entire house had odorless unseen poison circulating in it for years while we slept, played, ate, and lived our lives until we couldn’t any longer.
After discovering the source under the kitchen sink finally, we fled the house and had to have it remediated and renovated. A short four months later we were able to move back in, thanks to God and His amazing work of coordinating all the right people, materials and workmen.
This would be the start of a 5 year process that seemed endless for our son with the sticky mucus and all the infections he was harboring but never showed up on throat cultures until he was four. When “they” say CF is a silent disease, they are very accurate. A person cannot rely on a throat culture or even signs or symptoms necessarily. This is where I have learned how to be proactive from day one.
The first thing I recommend when getting a diagnosis that deals with chronic inflammation like Cystic Fibrosis, is to consider all the environmental things that can be changed first. I have written about them if you would like to go back and read my blog on your environment:
There are several blogs that would be helpful, so feel free to click around and read more than just one.
The second area I would tell you to address ASAP would be the amount of radiation coming into your home and especially take a look at the sleeping areas. Click here for the blog that pertains to this:
After reading, I would be happy to help you in any way that I can. I have set up a Zoom room where we can meet and I can determine next steps if you would like me to. My specialty is being proactive, preventative but not perfect. Perfect is too stressful. But I can improve the odds of helping you to achieve homeostasis in your body or your child’s body which will help put it in a place to heal itself.
Please return next week for the rest of the story… Recovery from MRSA and Toxic black mold exposure.
Thanks as always for reading and sharing this post if you find it helpful. My goal is to help people world wide know about what we CAN do to fight this awful disease in as many small and big ways as possible.
Much love, grace and peace to you,

Something that I think can never be underestimated enough is the power of the spoken word. God tells us in his Word that the power of life and death is in the tongue. What kind of things do you say about yourself or your child’s diagnoses? Do you insist your child learn all about how their body is not working properly or what about teaching them instead about how God made several alternate pathways if one part is missing or broken?
Several years ago I went to a teaching at my church that was comparing “the truth” and “the facts”.
I’ll admit it took me a lot of time to understand the difference and how it mattered. If we use our minds using earthly thinking then all we will see are the facts. It takes heavenly vision otherwise known as faith to envision our bodies healed.
Think of all the women in the bible who had to exercise their faith when in fact, the facts looked very contrary to what they were believing for. Sara for instance. Well, I guess she laughed when the Lord told her she would bear a child in her old age, but Abraham believed and he was counted as righteous. And surely enough, 25 years later he started the lineage that would include the Lord Jesus Christ. Think about it, his lineage had all sorts of crazy characters from disobedient God loving servants like David to a harlot who hid people in her home so they would not be discovered and killed.
Faith is the evidence of what is not seen but what is hoped for. Did I get that right? Apparently, it got me far enough, as I admit, I felt a little funny at first speaking out over my child at night, thanking God for healing our son’s Cystic Fibrosis, and in the same sentence commanding inflammation to go from his belly and for his liver to be cleansed. Sometimes I would command for congestion to leave his bronchioles without any further harm and well, you get the idea.
Our words do matter. In the first book of Genesis the Lord tells us to take dominion over the earth and all the things in it big and small (I take that to!).
28 Then God blessed them and said, “Be fruitful and multiply. Fill the earth and govern it. Reign over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, and all the animals that scurry along the ground.”
What does it look like or better yet sound like to take dominion? I believe it takes controlling our tongues and speaking life not death over our children. It takes us commanding things to die and commanding things to live. We can speak to the inflammation or the congestion and tell it to go or we can be fearful of it and let it rule our minds. Am I saying you will not have fear? No, not likely. Unless you are way way better than me, lol. But that’s o.k. faith can exist even when there is fear.
Do it afraid.
When I was in the hospital room the night I gave birth, I was complaining to the Lord about how my son was born not breathing. Nope. Totally blue and not saying a peep. A code blue was called and it was as if the rescue team was standing right outside the room right away in case they were needed.
The Lord’s steady reply to my complaint was Psalm 8.
O Lord, our Lord, your majestic name fills the earth!
Your glory is higher than the heavens.
2 You have taught children and infants
to tell of your strength,[b]
silencing your enemies
and all who oppose you.
Your glory is higher than the heavens.
2 You have taught children and infants
to tell of your strength,[b]
silencing your enemies
and all who oppose you.
3 When I look at the night sky and see the work of your fingers—
the moon and the stars you set in place—
4 what are mere mortals that you should think about them,
human beings that you should care for them?[c]
5 Yet you made them only a little lower than God[d]
and crowned them[e] with glory and honor.
6 You gave them charge of everything you made,
putting all things under their authority—
7 the flocks and the herds
and all the wild animals,
8 the birds in the sky, the fish in the sea,
and everything that swims the ocean currents.

9 O Lord, our Lord, your majestic name fills the earth!
I had already forgotten how when the code team was working on my son I whispered across the room,
“In Jesus name, breathe”.
My son was fine. No need for the NICU, no need for anything further. And I don’t take the credit, all the glory goes to God and the power of his son’s name. We must be a part of His plan. Let Him open your mouth. Use your will to do things even though you may feel silly or are not sure.
Often in the WORD (Bible), the scriptures, we will see “if then” statements.
“If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and turn from their wicked ways then I will forgive their sin and heal their land.
If we seek Him with all of our hearts, [then]we will find Him.
Praise the Lord, oh my soul, bless His holy name.
Praise the Lord oh my soul, all my innermost being.
Praise the Lord oh my soul, He who forgives all of our sins AND
Heals ALL our diseases.
What, you think you don’t have enough faith? I would say it only takes a mustard seed. I would tell you that there were plenty of times where I felt scared and confused. That’s o.k. Keep on keepin on. Do your best to make the changes in your environment, diet and lessening the amount of synthetics in your life. Every little bit adds up. Make one change at a time or many at one time. However you can, just begin the process.
I’m not saying it will be easy. I’m not saying this will be done over night or even in a year. It took five years for my son to be cleaned out so to speak from the damage done by the black mold that we had been living in for several years, unknowingly breathing in toxins throughout our beautiful home.
Don’t be afraid to try. I had plenty of times where we fell off the wagon so to speak, I did not do everything perfect but God honors your efforts and hears your prayers, even when it may not seem like it, choose to keep on going, making natural choices in all that you do. It does really matter.
In the famous words of Maya Angelou, once again, “Know better, do better.”
Much love, peace and grace to you and yours,

Have you been reading my series on ways you can get your body to heal itself? Over the past 13 weeks I have been writing and posting a blog a week, each with a tip about what you can do to help your body be able to do what God designed it to do, heal itself.
For example, when you see you have a scratch on your arm, you may or may not notice that the body goes through a series of steps to get back to normal. First a red area will appear and if the scratch is deep enough blood will come out. Immediately if the body is in it’s right state, meaning no disease or excess inflammation, then the cut will begin to clot and the inflammation in the area will show up to bring all the parts of the blood that need to be present to fight off infection and make sure the blood clots and eventually to close up the wound and lay down any new skin needed.
Now think about if that area had diabetes and the person tended to carry a lot of inflammation in their body. The cut would have more trouble healing up because there were other factors impeding or preventing the body from doing it’s job.
It’s much the same when the body is bombarded by all the different pollutants in today’s environment, be it high amounts of radiation from all the electrical devices we use or high amounts of synthetic ingredients from our many bath, body, laundry & cleaning products.
Now let’s say this person also ingests high amounts of sugar and takes multiple prescription pills. More inflammation, more foreign substances that the body is already having to deal with.
Now expecting the body to heal itself is, well, not quite fair. So then we get irritated with our body and think it should do better. Negative thoughts towards ourselves.
It all matters. So, to circle back around to the beginning, I have written a series of articles on things you can do to start getting the body better able to do what it was designed to do, heal itself. Shut down misinformation and function as it should. This is what bio hacking is.
If you want to go back and read my first 13 blogs at:
You will find everything from certain vitamins and supplements to decrease inflammation to information on how to decrease the harmful radiation from all your electrical devices, at least at night.
In the coming weeks my blog will be taking a slight turn to focus much more on your thoughts, words, and beliefs. This is very much needed because the body definitely follows instructions, whether good or bad. Please stay tuned.
Much love, peace and healing,

Have you heard about the benefits of swishing coconut oil around in your mouth? Some call it “oil-pulling”. The benefits are many, similar to how using a mouthwash could be beneficial but way better. First off I would like to let you know about the types and grades of coconut oil.
When you go to your big box stores you are likely to find a couple kinds, but you will get even more selection at a health food store or you can do what I do and buy it by the 10 gallon drum at Costco. Hehe O.k. maybe not 10 gallons, but you get my point. Costco does everything bigger and IMO better, kind of like Texas. Everything is bigger in Texas! Big hair, big trucks, uh oh, rabbit trail. Sorry.
Back to the topic at hand. My recommendations are for food grade, unrefined, organic, whole coconut oil unless you are making your own capsules, then MCT oil. MCT stands for Medium Chain Triglyceride; this is what I would say is a modified form good for massage and making capsules, otherwise why not use the whole natural unrefined form? The impact of a plant is always greater in the form closest to how it was created.
So, back to the “Pull”. Putting a tablespoon of coconut oil in your mouth and pulling it forward and back, and side to side will have amazing power to pull out bacteria hiding in gum tissues. It is good for the health of your whole body actually, as oral health is directly related to gut health and gut health is related to lung health and well, you get the idea. Our bodies are intricately intertwined.
You might find just swishing for a couple minutes in the beginning will be enough to pull up the unwanted bacteria. It is super important that you don’t then swallow the coconut oil but dispose of it in a paper towel and toss in the trash. I don’t want to take the risk of clogging up pipes when it turns back from liquid to solid form and you certainly don’t want to put that bacteria into your stomach.
The mouth is considered a mucous membrane, right? So, now onward to the other mucous membranes that could benefit from the soothing properties of coconut oil. Your nasal membranes for example, and the lady bits or your “package” if you are male. Sorry, I guess I could be more anatomically direct here. The vagina, rectum and penis/scrotum are also considered internal areas aka mucous membranes. This is because of the nature of the skin, so thin it has been said to be 300 times more absorbent than other areas of skin on our bodies.
Wowza, hopefully that will make you think twice or three times what lubricants, sprays and gels you might be using in or on any of these orifices. Have you read the bottle for the ingredients in your nasal spray for example? Our bodies would be so much better off if they were not having to deal with all the synthetic products that we apply or have floating in the air that we then absorb into our systems via the nasal membranes, mouth or private parts. Think about it, laundry detergent, simple nasal sprays may contain preservatives, dishwashing liquid, dishwasher detergent, and the list goes on. You may have already read my blog on household products where I tell the story of smelling a toilet and sink scrub product down the hall an hour after using it to clean my son’s bathroom.
If our bodies are so busy processing, filtering and trying to get rid of synthetics it makes it a whole lot harder to do the job it was designed to do, heal itself.
And in case you were not aware, mouth health is related to gut health is related to lung health! We are a very intricate finely connected masterpiece. Why not start with assisting your body to pull out unwanted bacteria?
Thanks as always for reading. Please consider signing up for my blog if you want to know more about the power of plants. If not, you can come back each week for more information on bio-hacking your health. In fact, next week I explain that term in more detail: bio-hacking.
Grace, peace and truth to you,
Paula Baron P.T.
Have you ever thought about the fact that you don’t need ANY devices to be turned on throughout the night? Did you know with the new “smart” meters installed on our homes you constantly have electricity running throughout the walls in your home? Well, not to worry.
You can call the electric company and ask for what is called an “opt out”. Yup, they will come and take down the existing meter and replace it with one of the older formats, a digital meter.
This will be step one.
I live in an apartment, so although I cannot eliminate the electricity running through adjoining walls, I can have some rooms that have less radiation exposure. My meter is the one on the left.

Step two, be sure that you are not sleeping next to any Bluetooth devices or cell phones that are turned on and thereby receiving cell signals all night long. Think of it like this:
Cell phone: “Hey, where’s my connection?” Sends signal.
Cell tower: “Where are you? I want to connect!” Sends signal.
This goes on all night long. If you are in an area of poor cell coverage you get an even stronger charge of radiation coming into your home, right next to your bed or even your head if you sleep with your phone near your pillow. Teenagers are famous for sleeping with it under their pillow.
Now there is the issue of magnetic fields and dirty electricity. If you sleep with your bed right up against the wall where your lamp and clock radio are plugged in, you are getting a constant electric field shooting off of those as well.
What are the answers? Pull your bed 6 inches away from the wall. Test the wall outlets with a meter that will tell you if it is wired properly as well. (see picture below).
Turn your cell phone onto airplane mode. Your alarm will still work and you can still listen to any content you have downloaded. I like to listen to podcasts as I go to sleep on Spotify. I love that it still works in airplane mode!
The other thing to check out is the placement of any meters outside your home. Is it on the same wall that backs up to your bed? Consider changing out the meter but first thing you can do is move your bed. Distance is your friend. The benefit of how far away you move is exponential. Don’t ask me to explain that, it just means the benefit really increases with every foot you move away from an appliance or meter.
While some people do not recommend it, I often choose to shut down the electricity to my bedroom at night. This makes a world of difference in how rested I feel in the morning and my feet actually feel flat on the floor rather than slightly tense and not quite flat. I also feel lighter in my spirit, like I have hope back again.
Please do not judge the messenger, the effects of radiation coming from electrical wiring is real and me being sensitive is a gift to you, because I can warn you, even though you might not “feel” something is wrong. Your cells know it. I know it. Now it is time for you to know better, do better.

I know. I know. Maya Angelou said the last part of the above paragraph. It’s just so, well pithy!
Love her.
I hesitate whether or not to mention it but what the hay. In my case, being highly electrosensitive required me to take yet another step in eliminating radiation coming into my bedroom from my neighbor’s weather radar as well as all the WIFI coming from the neighborhood. I don’t know what else was coming in, but I decided to do an experiment of sorts.

Picture 1:
This is my son’s bed canopy. I have a queen size one but at the moment am choosing to sleep in his bed when he is at his Dad’s because on this side of my apartment there are less shared walls and therefore less radiation coming into this room.
Inside it is sort of like a tent! :-)
Picture three & four:
You may choose to make a canopy frame yourself, as pictured here, I put PVC pipes together to form a frame about 4-6 inches wider than the bed to allow for clearance of the canopy. I bought the canopy made of blok-silver material off a website that is based in England. They are fabulous to work with.
I do not collect any commissions from the sale of any of their goods, although they did mention sending me some air tube headsets (more on these later). I also bought some leggings and a sweatshirt lined with this material and after wearing them to a conference, my pain levels were much less than I normally experience after being around so much radiation.
Picture five:
Here is my beautiful four poster bed, which I chose in order to easily hang the canopy over the top. The only issue here is the canopy does not reach the floor completely so that it touches the grounding mat that is put under the bed. I still feel the benefit is great enough and I still ground the mat underneath the bed (see next picture).
Picture six:
Grounding rod placed into the earth outside the window next to my bed and then wire is run back to the grounding mat and attached using an alligator clip. Cat's back side strategically placed to hide the dirt on the windowsill. Cat not necessary for the grounding wire to work. (if you couldn't tell, this is my odd sense of humor popping up again! #sorrynotsorry) For a grounding rod I simply used a tent stake and wrapped the wire around it before placing into the ground.
Picture 7: alligator clip attached to the grounding mat that is under my bed. Mat received from same company I purchased the canopy from. Canopy originally came with straps so it could be hung from the ceiling.
Side note: I’ve read where you can ground your mat using the electrical outlet however I found that this caused me to be picking up a lot of dirty electricity and I ended up getting a high body voltage. Not good.

Picture eight:
Meter 1: EMF meter
Meter 2: EMF, RF and magnetic field meter
Meter 3: Body voltage meter
Meter 1 is used to detect high frequencies such as WiFi usually put off by “smart” devices such as cell phones, blue tooth devices, smart TVs, Alexa (don’t even get me started) and the like.
Meter 2 is a less expensive meter that tests all three- EMFs or high frequency waves, RFs or electric waves, and magnetic fields. I bought the ES124 which seems to do what I need it to. I am by no means an expert on which device to buy.
Meter 3: Used to detect the amount of charge your body is holding. Ideally this would be a zero, particularly in bed as you sleep.
My goal for all my clients, friends and family is to get an AWESOME night’s sleep EVERY night so the body can do what it is designed to do, heal itself.
Please feel free to leave comments or questions in the chat on FB or on my website where the blog is posted.
Thank you so much for visiting my site and reading my blog post, it is so important we all take responsibility for at least our own homes and further on whenever possible!
