<p>I replied..<br />
&#8220;That&#8217;s because we were raised to take it on the chin&#8230;get back up and start again.We don&#8217;t reach for the phone everytime we are in need. We hold our heads high&#8230;though we bleed&#8230;<br />

<dt class="wp-caption-dt"><img class="size-medium wp-image-44" title="bloodcells" src="http://catherinegrace1.files.wordpress.com/2009/09/bloodcells.jpg?w=131&#038;h=300" alt="Cells That Tell/Dried Blood Cell Analysis" width="131" height="300" /></dt>
<dd class="wp-caption-dd">Cells That Tell/Dried Blood Cell Analysis</dd>
</dl>
<p>Dried/Live Blood Cell Analysis is one of several tools used by a Naturopath  in assessing the body&#8217;s imbalances. Patterns that set-up in tiny dried blood droplets voluntarily sampled from the client show areas of stress, imbalance, toxicity and the like. Once identified, a Naturopath can target the areas that are out of balance and tailor a program which will aid the body to move toward wellness. The body does not want to be ill. Through his/her suggestions of cleansing, diet, lifestyle changes, and nutritional supplementation, balance can then be returned to the body on many occasions in a relatively short period of time.</p>
</div>
<div class="mceTemp">The top dried blood cell picture to the left is one of acid spiking. Having too much acid in the body can be deadly. The body&#8217;s pH imbalances can lead to failing health. Cancer,bacteria, and viruses thrive in an acidic environment.</div>
<p class="mceTemp">Even mild acidity in your body can over time cause such problems as :</p>
<div class="mceTemp">
<ul>
<li>Cardiovascular damage, including the constriction of blood vessels, clogged arteries, weakened veins, and the reduction of oxygen</li>
<li>All forms of Cancer</li>
<li>Unwanted weight/fat gain, obesity, insulin disorders, and diabetes</li>
<li>Liver, Bladder and Kidney conditions, including kidney and gallstones</li>
<li>Weakened Immune system, increased stress, higher blood pressure</li>
<li>Neurological Diseases: MS, ALS, Parkinson&#8217;s, Alzheimer&#8217;s</li>
<li>Acceleration of free radical damage, possibly contributing to cancerous mutations</li>
<li>Premature aging, frequent headaches, sinusitis, constipation, hemorrhoids</li>
<li>Osteoporosis, weak, brittle bones, hip fractures, bone spurs and calcium deposits</li>
<li>Osteoarthritis, joint pain, aching muscles and lactic acid buildup</li>
<li>Hormonal imbalances, Prostate problems and adult acne</li>
<li>Low energy and chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, acid indigestion and flatulence</li>
</ul>
</div>

<div class="mceTemp">A Naturopath does not diagnose or treat disease. Instead they use several modalities to assess imbalances in the body and then recommend nutrition, vitamin/mineral supplements, homeopathy, herbology, cleansing, and changes in diet and lifestyle to aid the body in rebalancing itself.</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-34" title="herbs blog pic" src="http://catherinegrace1.files.wordpress.com/2009/09/herbs-blog-pic1.jpg?w=300&#038;h=225" alt="herbs blog pic" width="300" height="225" />While waiting for your featured program to come on the television you hear another ad pushing a new prescription drug. A new pill for this and a new pill for that. Haven&#8217;t you had enough of the pharmaceutical propaganda? Well, people, let me tell you, the well &#8211; informed consumer is not their target audience. It is not my intention to say that you do not need your prescription. I am merely asking you to get informed. One important fact is looking at the alkaline vs. the acid body.</p>
<p>pH levels:</p>
<p>Causes of an Acid-Alkaline imbalance are overuse of prescription drugs, eating processed foods, smoking,and  excess drinking of alcohol. These all contribute to the  impairing of the body&#8217;s ability to maintain a proper acid-alkaline pH balance and could lead to chronic illness and degenerative disease. Some of those diseases may be high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and diabetes. Cancer thrives in an acidic enviroment. That is a whole blog in itself. More on that subject to come.</p>
<p>A product that I use that is pH balancing is Ultimate GreenZone.  Click on URL below. </p>

<p>. Normal pH level range is above 6.8. One can test the pH level of the body with a pH tester placed in the mouth to gather saliva or in the urine stream first thing in the morning before brushing, eating or drinking.  pH test strip are available on my URL above.</p>

<p>So, you fought tooth and nail to get the position. You said ALL the right things, made all the moves, campaigned your own brand  until you were blue in the face with hopes of landing that dream job when&#8230;.BAM!&#8230;the career opportunity door slams in your face! What do you do now? Some may say that it is all in the cosmos as to where we are to be and when and others may think that there is no predestined outline and that luck is merely preparation meeting opportunity. If we stop for a moment and breathe then maybe we could consider that there may be a greater picture involved here. We are all so caught up in our everyday grind that taking a &#8220;NOW&#8221; moment may seem out of the schedule. If someone text the words &#8220;Take a Now Moment&#8221; to you you would probably do it. Oh, the power of the opposable thumbs! We all do it. We get so caught up in the ego part of our lives that we fail to see the precious &#8220;NOW&#8221; moments and other opportunities that are right in front of our faces. Hanging on to the bruised ego of a past defeat and keeping the ego alive by dwelling in the future that hasn&#8217;t happened yet is counterproductive. You miss out on the here and now.    Ego has been referred to as a &#8220;pain-body&#8221; when you hold on to the grief and negative thoughts of your mind. The more you hang on to it the more you keep it alive by negatively recharging the whole cycle. Learning to let go is an art form. One must be an observer in the sense that you watch yourself  reacting to something and be able to disconnect from it. The quicker you catch yourself slipping into the madness of negative thought patterns the better. You will eventually say to yourself,&#8221;Wow, look at me going crazy for nothing&#8221; and you don&#8217;t get involved in your own train wreck. You will then gain control of the thoughts that navigate you and begin to choose what you focus on instead. It is understandable to get upset when something doesn&#8217;t pan out the way you wanted it to. There is nothing wrong with declaring that you are disappointed so acknowledge your defeat, grieve the loss, and let it go. You will then be able to fill those spaces that you released with new energy, opportunities and experiences that you could grow from. Who knows, you may turn the corner tomorrow with your new attitude and embark on a &#8220;coincidental&#8221; moment that potentially constructs the framework of a new endeavor. If veiled by pessimism you may never be able to envision the coincidence as an opportunity for repositioning yourself for the better.  So, take off those flat- lined glasses and awaken yourself into the &#8220;NOW&#8221;!  There is a whole world out there to rediscover in a different light. It is all in the details.</p>
