GMOs- More Nefarious Than You Can Imagine

6/28/2023

The greatest threat to society is that we are not given full disclosure. – Morley Robbins

If people only knew the critical importance of the mineral copper in the body…the blue mineral, not the heavy metal copper. Purely Living VIP members received a researched article from me on this topic ($20 annual membership) earlier in the year. Whole food sources of copper include beef liver (if using capsules obtain freeze dried from grass fed cows), and spirulina (derived from blue algae).
Low copper in the body promotes oxidative stress. Oxidative stress generates abnormal cell growth. It is important to dump the iron – donate blood!

I have listened to a podcast interviewing Morley Robbins three times, at this point. I learn something new each time, and my article on importance of copper continues to be edited. I very much believe this podcast is going to more than revolutionary in regards to your mindset on nutrition and our food sources, relating to our health.

In today's blog post I am sharing take-aways that I hope fascinate you as much as they do myself.

"GMO was introduced to all the crops that are high in copper after WWI. GMO is a plant modified so it can withstand the assault of glyphosate. High fructose corn syrup is made from GMO corn and sulfuric acid." – Morley Robbins interview, author of “Cu-re Your Fatigue” – a must-read book if your desire is to thrive.

Glyphosates chelate copper – in other words, GMO binds copper and eliminates it from your body. Stealing a mineral that is critical for every mitochondria, every cell in the body. Melatonin is copper dependent. Are you having trouble sleeping?

Copper is the great detoxifier, it is in charge of four tasks:

Creates energy
Clears exhaust
Catalyzes enzymes
Combats all enemies – all enemies!!

There is no other element on the planet that is more important.

Copper has vanished, and iron is disregulated. - These two elements are “duking it out”, and have been since the beginning of time – fighting over oxygen. Copper is the only element on planet earth that can regulate oxygen (2nd most powerful element on earth) and iron. We are iron-laden, iron-toxic. – Morley Robbins

I have been in process of writing a Qest4 bio-energetics scan based on information I have learned regarding copper and other minerals, and environmental factors, from Robbins and my mentor Dr. Alphonzo Monzo. Although I am always tweaking, it is essentially complete - enough to where I have added it to my "General Support" scan to help obtain information for each member receiving Qest4 services. It is included in the Comprehensive Wellness Scan package.

With all that we are exposed to in the environment today - for example, haze from Canadian fires carrying toxins such as pesticides in the air, heavy metals, petro chemicals - it is more important than ever to be proactive in your health. We provide services remotely for anyone in the U.S. Contact us very soon to schedule a bio-energetics scan, and learn more about the imbalances affecting your body and what your body is ASKING for to help it rebalance.

Experience life with joy,

Don't Let the Hazy Sky take your breath away!

Mullein to the rescue!

Although Purely Living offers herbal tinctures - this time of year you can easily identify mullein. It's soft, fuzzy leaves are graced by a spire that forms clusters of yellow blooms.

If the poor air quality has you concerned - forage for mullein, make and drink a tea.

We do have dried mullein for tea available for purchase...but it is not hard to find! Harvest from non-polluted areas.

Purely Living's mullein tincture has helped many people with respiratory issues and long-staying coughs. If you are affected by the current hazy air, reach out to me if you would like my help.

Easy to Grow Radishes Address Difficult Issues

6/19/2023

Radishes are not only loaded with vitamins A, B6, C and E, but they also contain folate and additional essential minerals. Rich in flavonoids radishes are a great source of antioxidants.

This year I am growing two different types of red radishes. The long ones, shaped more like a carrot, are considered salad radishes. Oh my, do they pack the heat!
I've decided I'm going to tincture the long purple radish in the photo. I will program it into the Qest4 system and see what type of concerns it shows up for as a remedy. I am willing to bet it will address circulation and cardio imbalances. Below are a number of health benefits in consuming radishes.

Promotes oxygen to the cells - Radishes help prevent damage to the red blood cells by increasing the oxygen supply in the blood. A primary benefit – shouldn’t everyone consider growing radishes?

Heart support - Radishes contain anthocyanin, which is responsible for the red, purple and blue tones of radishes, are also beneficial for proper heart function. Yet, another score for circulation and the heart.

Regulates blood pressure - Radishes contain potassium which helps to lower blood pressure, and regulate blood flow. The herb yarrow also regulates blood flow. For those of you with hypertension, what if a person drank yarrow tea daily and ate a few radishes? However, I would not recommend this if you are taking medication as it would be a double dose for what ails you, and you may end up with low blood pressure and dizziness. Remember, this information is for educational purposes only.

Boosts the immune system – High in Vitamin C, radishes are a rich source and can boost your immune system overall. It is an inflammatory as well, and prevents early aging, yet another reason to grow and consume radishes.

Detoxifies the kidneys – “D’ is for radish. Diuretic. Disinfectant. Detergent. Radishes naturally help to wash and flush the toxins gathered in kidneys and blood.

Fights abnormal cell growth. Radishes contain glucosinolates, which are sulfur-containing compounds. Sulfur compounds, also found in ginger, onions, garlic and cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, Brussel sprouts and cabbage), are well known in helping to prevent your genes from mutating.

Digestive Health - Eating a radish prior to a meal provides the same benefit as taking digestive bitters to stimulate bile production. Radishes make a great appetizer!

Are you ready to grow radishes? The sprout quickly and prefer cooler temperatures. We plant our radishes in early spring, and are harvested in about 4 weeks. If the season remains cool you can plant another crop. We usually plant additional rows in early September for a fall harvest.

Enjoy eating for your health,
Rita S.

How fat is your pantry?

6/16/2023

Do you need to clean out your pantry?
Contrary to what you may believe, those vegetable oils, such as canola, are contributing to the hardening of your arteries. In my pantry, the fat staples I keep include organic avocado, coconut, and extra virgin olive oil along with ghee.

EVOO - for making homemade salad dressings I use Extra Virgin Olive Oil - make sure it is PURE. Olive oil has a low smoke point and if used in cooking, should only be used with low heat settings.
For baking, I use either ghee or coconut oil.
I use avocado oil to brush on meats before adding a dry rub, roasting vegetables, or making homemade mayonnaise. Avocado oil has a high smoke point - we love it for frying our fresh caught fish. The kitchen remains smoke free!

Grass fed unsalted butter has its place. I prefer to add healthy pink Himalayan, Redmond, or Celtic Sea Salt of my own accord.

If you bake - you want to find a source for Leaf-Lard, which is soft fat harvested from around the kidneys of the pig. Leaf-lard is the highest quality lard you can purchase - soft, creamy and free of pork flavor. Leaf-lard makes the flakiest pie crust ever! If you make cookies, combining leaf-lard with butter or coconut oil, will result in chewy cookies versus crunchy, hard cookies. It was a game-changer in making Pfeffernusse during the holidays - no longer having to be concerned with chipping a tooth!

Although sesame and flax seed oils have health benefits, and add unique flavors to your cooking, the oxidize quickly once taken from seed to oil form. Purchase the smallest bottle possible, refrigerate after opening and use the product quickly. Remember that these oils are sitting on store shelves for a very long time before they end up in your pantry.

When we purchased our grass-fed beef we told the farmer we wanted ALL the fat. Arriving at the butcher-shop to pick up our meat, we were asked if we wanted the fat from the other customer who purchased from the same farmer, as they had no interest. Of course we said yes, and have rendered the fat into beef lard. Contrary to what we have been programmed to think - lard, and healthy fats DO NOT contribute to heart disease.

Frankly, if you have issues with high cholesterol and high blood pressure - review the amount of simple carbs and processed foods you consume. Canola and soybean oils are hydrogenated, chemically processed and also will contribute to hardening of your arteries. Heart disease skyrocketed with the introduction of these oils and the push to make us believe they were the healthy choice. Heaven forbid if you are still using margarine or butter substitutes!

Listen, our great-grandparents knew what they were doing. They consumed healthy fats. They took a tablespoon of cod liver oil daily, and used castor oil on their aches and pains. Cancer and heart disease arose in the 1900s along with the chemical revolution. Think about it...

Be joyful and well,
Rita S.

Are you Expecting?

6/2/2023

When you pray, do you expect God to respond, or do you speak to Him, doubtful He even hears you? When you face the day, do you face it with a "gloom and doom" attitude, or do you EXPECT that God is working on your behalf - whether it be in your personal life, family life or business?

Never doubt that Yahweh loves you and is working on your behalf, always. He knows your needs, and the desires of your heart. Do you TRUST Him for all of it? I don't have a clue about the Lord's timing, but I trust it will be so in His time.

Job 22:28 reads, "You will decide on a matter, and it will be established for you, and light will shine on your ways."

Never forget the Holy Spirit dwells within all believers and each of us has the ability through the Power of Christ to do wondrous things. What holds us back? For me personally, it is that lack of a powerful connection to my Creator. Yes, I have pretty good discernment on a number of issues relating to health, wisdom that embeds into my hard drive once I learn something I am passionate about. But I lack the discipline of finding an hour of quiet without distraction daily, a time to meditate and be quiet...not lifting up my prayer requests, but listening for Ruach, the Holy Spirit, and open to receiving God's personal message for me. Divine communication exists for those who put this into practice...and I do question why God has wired me more as a Martha than a Mary!

Sure, in the past I have had several encounters which is why I am doing what I do today to help others receive answers regarding their health concerns, and supporting their bodies towards healing as they are designed by God to do.

I am certainly becoming more bold in my statements of authority in Christ when I see a need for a spiritual deliverance in Purely Living PMA members, for I know through scripture that the physical body is connected to the soul. Does it work, when I release a dark angel attachment from someone on the other side of the county, or out of state? I expect YES, because I command it in the name of Yeshua to be bound, leave that person and go to the feet of He who is to judge.

I am a work in progress. It has taken me a long time to EXPECT to be blessed, especially with the trials that have been a part of my life. But I know that God wishes to bless me abundantly with a gift that serves humanity. He has, He does and He will continue to do so...far more than I could ever fathom. As I am expecting, I am certain that I will give birth to unrealized gifts in my future.

When you pray or communicate with your Creator God - are you expecting that He will? Visualize that portal within you, receive the active stirring of the Holy Spirit, and be blessed so that you may be a blessing to others!

Shalom,

Health advocate, educator and wellness consultant...I am a forever student of integrative and holistic approaches to wellness.
This blog is dedicated to everyone who is on a wellness journey. Each journey is unique, yet we may share commonalities. You and I may follow some of the same alternative and holistic brilliant minds who practice outside the box of traditional medicine. We may be eliminating the same food groups from our diets. Perhaps you have successfully turned your health around, as have I done, or you are eager to learn more of how you may do so.
With each and every day I believe there is a lesson to be learned. Life is an experience. We all make mistakes, I know I do! But the only true mistake is one in which we don't learn from our errors, or we cease to seek out knowledge from those who have become wise on the journey.
Much of the information on this website, and this blog, are the result of my own wellness journey, and my husband's journey with a terminal cancer diagnosis and an undiagnosed advanced Lyme disease - which ultimately contributed to his earthly body failing him. Yet his Spirit was intact and whole, and he rejoiced the day he went home to his Creator God.

It is my hope that you embrace LIFE, and live intentionally from experience!
