Journey Update/Doterra Essential Oils

Hello Everyone,

My journey for holistic healing began February 2013. In March I went to see Pamela Schwartz of Schwartz Wellness Center. She does what is called a ZYTO scan, where it reads your body for food stressors. She explained how everyone's body is different and we react to foods and everything in our environment individually. For instance one person maybe allergic to strawberries and another isn't, so when the allergic person eats them their body responds with hives, swelling, etc. while another can eat with no reaction. Your brain responds in 1of 3 ways: 1. this is good for me 2. this is bad for me 3. neutral (neither good or bad.) I did my scan and some of my  top stressors are foods I was eating EVERYDAY and a lot of them. For instance every morning I ate a banana with almond butter. Almonds were my #1 nut stressor food. My highest was artichoke.

Here's my top ten:

1. Artichoke
2. Clove
3. Cabbage
4. Cola
5. Acesulfame K - vitamin C
6. Brussel Sprouts
7. Cucumber
8. Cumin Seed
9. Beer- Dunkel  (Idk what dunkel beer is??)
10. Liquor-Rum

So you see it may be things that are actually good for you but your body doesn't accept or process them right. So she does what is called NAET treatments to reprogram your body so everything can process correctly and you can be on your way to better health. In my next post I will tell you more about NAET and my experience and if it seems to work or not. Then I will continue telling you the journey of 2013 through today. There is SO much to tell so please keep reading!!

In the mean time I wanted to let you know about Doterra Essential Oils. They are A-uh-MAZING! So real quick...my daughter has had a chronic cough she gets EVERY year in the fall and it last all fall through the winter. She has been told she has bronchitis and diagnosed with asthma.  This last year I used Doterra oils on her and her cough went away never to return. She had it from 1 years old -7 years old, so bad she would often spit up stomach acid. This was the first year I didn't have to deal with it!! :)

Also, she is allergic to diary and when she was a baby the first time I gave her formula she blew up like a red tomato, broke out in hives and got so swollen I had to rush her to urgent care. She slowly was able to tolerate it in moderation. She wouldn't swell and break out anymore but it would always result in tummy aches. Any time she has more then one diary item she wakes up at night in tummy pain. So a while back she woke up one night with her stomach protruded and hard as a rock, crying because her tummy hurt. ( when this would happen before we would be up for hours.) This time I used Doterra DigestZen essential oil, she used the restroom, threw up the dairy and went back to bed with no more stomach pain! I was back to bed in 20 mins unlike up all night in the past.

There are MANY remedies and uses with these oils and I highly recommend them in place of medicine. So if you are interested or have questions LMK. You can check them out at: http://mydoterra. If you're interesting in ordering please contact me.

Thanks for reading!! :)

Articles that explain things better than me 😁

If your one of my family members or close friends (and even if your not) please copy and paste the links and please read. These articles are helpful and explain my thoughts so well. Living with an invisible illness is a constant battle of knowing when to test your limits/boundaries and trying not to over do it in fear of being less capable later. It's a struggle of trying to decipher between: trying to look how you feel (hoping to provide others with understanding) or to take advantage and seize every opportunity when I feel ok. I decided for myself I am going to take advantage because YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE #yolo. So the next time you see me dancing at a friends wedding or event and think to yourself, she looks and acts fine, just know that may very well be last time I am capable of dancing. Why wouldn't I go for it even if it hurts? If I'm feeling limber I will timber 😜 lol. And if it takes some orange wheat or one more Tylenol to enjoy that moment with people I love then so be it!

Here's another:

Does it help or hinder the understanding of our illness when we compare our illness to normal people getting sick?

The idea of comparing a bad headache to chronic migraines, regular period cramps to endometriosis, or general soreness to Fibromyalgia or other chronic pain disorders.

Believe me, I could put in no further consideration and sit here and declaim about lack of perspective, insensitivity, and general failure to engage brain before opening mouth. But there’s two good reasons for me to not do so.

1. I don’t actually believe there’s any intended insult there most of the time
2. It’s lazy and I like to challenge the way I’m inclined to think sometimes

What I feel it’s worth thinking about is that chronic ill health is not something in the sphere of experience of the general population. I would venture as far as to say it is impossible to encapsulate and articulate the quality of that experience to someone whose life is not touched by chronic ill health–whether they are the sufferer or whether they are close to someone who is.

Since it's beyond what most people can even phantom, more frustrations derive because you can never really make anyone understand. :/
