BioMat Used As Cancer Therapy by Successful Doctor

12/5/2015

Dr. Sircus has been successfully treating cancer patients in the tropical jungle....a location in which he is allowed to help cancer patients HEAL their body. You see, here in the United States doctors are not allowed to heal cancer through alternative treatments. We have BIG PHARMA to thank for that.

Today I want to share one of Dr. Sircus' latest articles on the use of BioMat as a part of a wellness protocol for cancer patients. What makes Purely Living Wellness Center unique is that we can off the "sandwich" style therapy that Sircus describes. Many Bio-Mat facilities do not have the BioMat devices on hand to do this. For a person who has cancer, that chooses to do this therapy, the therapy session cost does not increase with the use of multiple BioMats. It has been our mission from the start to make holistic therapies affordable for those who are dealing with chronic disease.

As Sircus states, we are not suggesting that infrared heat therapy is a cure for cancer. Sircus writes, "Oncologists, if they were honest, would not say that radiation or chemotherapy cures cancer either. Both radiation and chemotherapy cause cancer meaning they increase the chances of getting more cancer in the future, besides bringing a whole range of serious side effects that are tough to live with."

If you want to learn more about the mathematical science behind the use of raising core cell temperature to reduce diseased cells and promote healthy cells in the body, I encourage you to read "98.6F Ideal Body Temperature".

I firmly believe that there is no single protocol that cures cancer. Also, one has to rule out that there are other compromising health issues besides cancer taking place in the body. Speaking from experience, once a person is diagnosed with cancer, doctors will attribute all symptoms, no matter what they are to the cancer. They won't look for herniated discs, nor will they look for Lyme's disease when one's body becomes debilitated, as this is what happened with my husband. This is specifically why Purely Living Wellness invested in the Qest4 equipment, to help provide such answers in a non invasive manner for those who are seeking to learn more about their "causal chain". To learn more about this service check out the link or contact me for a consultation.

The Richway Amethyst Biomat is a wonderful medical device, safe to use, and promotes ever-accelerating levels of health when used on a regular basis. Here are some of the benefits of the Richway Amethyst BioMat.

increases core body temperature if used aggressively enough
helps alleviate pain
detoxifies the body
strengthens cardiovascular system
devitalize, and clear pathogens from the body
produces potent antioxidants, neurotransmitters and artery wall relaxers
helps regulate muscle tone of the arteries and prevents arteriosclerosis
is anti-inflammatory, preventing injury to vessel walls and normalizing blood pressure in the process
increases negative ion activity to boost the immune system
increases oxygenation to the cells
increases metabolism
helps reduce anxiety and promotes a feeling of tranquility

During this time of the year stress and anxiety is at high levels for many people. Even if physical health benefits are not your goal in using a BioMat, the emotional benefits cannot be dismissed. We have been fortunate to help offer relief to people experiencing migraines fibromyalgia, chronic pain and more at Purely Living Wellness. Gift certificates are available for someone you care about, that deserves an hour of stress-reducing time in our rustic oasis spa.

Be sure to raise your core cell temperature this winter for optimal health - try a BioMat today!

Feel great, look great, live great,

Surrounded by Conversations of Hopelessness

12/2/2015

This morning I sit at Crossroads Coffeehouse in Cross Plains, typing this blog post...working away from home just to get out of the house for a bit. I guess having an in-home business can be a bit of a downfall if you are a social person. I find I can update my website just fine in a remote location. In this community setting I am surrounded by conversations of family tragedies, injuries and cancer journeys, stories of hopelessness.

To my right a local financial adviser converses with a politician, sharing the story of a head injury his father experienced and his current state, which is not so well. In my mind I want to say, "look into curcumin as a supplement to reduce inflammation in the brain". I would be happy to forward a PDF newsletter by Dr. Russell Blaylock on the subject of brain injuries and suggested holistic treatments.

At 1 o'clock four women are in conversation, with one describing the state of a friend whose cancer came back in the bones. This is how most conventional treatments work, but sadly, people do not receive full disclosure on the side effects of standard treatments. The outcome is not good for this person, and I would love to interrupt and encourage a family member to review my website and find the resources that could turn the doom and gloom picture around for this person. If only to learn of modalities that could provide relief of pain when cancer enters the bones.

At 11 o'clock two men are sharing life. One is also experiencing a cancer journey with a loved one. Apparently the oncologists are honest enough to say that chemo and radiation will not work for this person's advanced cancer, and there is "nothing they can do".

I feel a sense of hopelessness all around me. People resigned to the limitations of conventional medicine. People who are kept in the dark of integrative and alternative treatments...treatments that can provide HOPE.

I sit here with my new Qest4 machine at my side (with purpose of training on it this morning) - a piece of equipment that could provide answers to the functional disturbances of all of the individuals that have been given a limited life sentence. But I sit in silence. A stranger to these people, I am not bold enough to introduce myself and give them a business card with this website so that they may learn that HOPE is available.

Instead, I pray for each of the afflicted individuals...that they or a loved one will continue to look for answers. I pray that some thing will draw them to my cards sitting out by the community bulletin board, or that someone will direct them to me.

This is where I ask for help from you, my readers. Purely Living Wellness is a place of hope. We may provide direction to those who have a strong will to live and are seeking alternatives. Please help pass the word.

Offering hope in this season,
Rita

Feeling Loss on This Anniversary Day

10/14/2015

Today would have been 26 years married to my best friend and soul mate. Each year, for our anniversary, Jesse and I would take a day trip to see the fall colors, usually around the Baraboo hills. Pewitt's Nest was a favorite location.
I made the trip with one of my girlfriends, in his place. The day was sunny and the fall foliage spectacular. As I took photos I remembered Jesse's words of caution as I neared the edge of the bluff to get the best angle of the waterfalls below for that awesome photograph. I pictured him walking ahead of me in his bright blue hooded jacket, contrasting with the yellow and gold colors of fall. We would stroll hand in hand, and have a little picnic with some wine from Wollersheim and smoked Gouda cheese.
He would smile and greet anyone we would meet, agree to a few selfie photos of the two of us, and help me maneuver the steep areas, to ensure I would not fall. We would later find a restaurant to try, perhaps shop a little, and head home to meet the kids off the school bus.

Pewitt's Nest was not the same this day in 2015. Arriving, the first thing I noticed was the parking for maybe 6 cars at most, had easily be doubled. The DNR had obviously come in and cleared fairly wide trails were previously paths were questionable. A number of trees were cut down. The leaf covered paths were replaced by smooth, rock-like surface, which made the trails slippery and even a bit treacherous. Where previously we may have met perhaps 3 people, there were well over a dozen. But for me, the greatest change was not the disturbed natural state of Pewitt's Nest, but the void of a person who thoroughly relished the beauty of nature, the birds of the air, and who marveled at the great works God had made for our viewing pleasure and enjoyment. I know he was with me in spirit today, but oh how I miss the most kind and gentle person I have ever been blessed to know and love.

Immune System Fuel As We Enter Cold & Flu Season

9/18/2015

Today I was listening to a podcast on NaturalHealth365 which I am privvy to as a paid subscriber to the inner circle - one of the best investments I have made into my holistic wellness training, and for my family.
The speaker was a very wise, quite old integrative doctor who had seen many changes through his lifetime. Through generations we have lost the wisdom of using good things from the earth to help our bodies heal. Such as elderberry to prevent colds and flu. Turmeric to reduce inflammation and pain. Ginger for digestion, and so on.
I would like to give you his name, but it is not one I can pronounce, much less spell. But I plan to look up his site. He commented that cancer is growing in our bodies 25-40 years before we have the symptoms that alert us to its presence. This is why it is often a disease that manifests with age. It only gets out of hand when the immune system is not functioning and doing its job of erradicating free radicals.
What do you use to boost your immune system? My family members are huge fans of a 2 oz power pack of anti oxidant juice. At the first sign of illness, exposure to a slew of viral breakouts at school - we start the day with these powerful shots of super foods and anti-oxidants.
When my husband was on his journey with late stage cancer he never once caught a cold or flu that year - even though he was exposed during the holidays to people getting over the flu or with colds. People did not think we should leave the house and expose him to all the germs - but he wouldn't hear of missing a family get together. Every morning began with an Anti Oxidant Immunity Booster. To the morning shot I would add drops of Lugol's iodine and collodial silver, with the latter being an anti-bacterial (nature's antibiotic). Before bed Jesse was glad to have the super food drink on its own so he could completely enjoy it. That said, it is a great way to mask some other supplements one might take.
As we get into the cold and flu season give your body what it needs to maintain a healthy immune system. Your natural defense system depends on you to fuel it properly to provide optimal performance.

Be well and stay well,
Rita S.

Healthy Living Doesn't Have to Be Hard - Start with Gluten!

9/18/2015

The idea of eliminating multiple food groups at one time to begin a lifestyle of CHANGE towards healthier living is overwhelming to many. I want to share today a bit of my own story...which began five years ago.
It all started with REDUCING gluten, about 50%. I lost weight easily, and at the time I was 264 lbs. and very much needed to turn my health around (with a host of issues besides being overweight). You can ready my story for full details.
Not weighing myself, but having room in my clothes to breathe, I was encouraged. And reduced gluten even more...75%, 80%, and to the point where I reserved Friday mornings for a special visit to the coffee shop with my daughter to have a scone and a mocha. I lost 32 lbs.in 3 months.
Eventually I went on to eliminate most dairy, and even have gone completely gluten free - and at which point all my aches and pains totally cleared up. This is because my body has a sensitivity (not an allergy) and these food groups caused inflammation.
What do heart disease, type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and cancer all have in common - INFLAMMATION.
How do we reduce inflammation - we reduce, and ideally, eliminate the foods that cause it. So let's start with the biggie...GLUTEN. If you want the story on gluten I suggest you read the book Wheat Belly, or African American Healthy.
Eliminating gluten for 30 days has made a huge difference for many. I have clients with fibromyalgia, Lupus, IBS, arthritis and other auto immune diseases of which gluten is a huge promoter of inflammation. People with auto immune are more sensitive than others to certain food groups. Thirty days of your life to determine what ails you could prevent a future lifetime of knee and hip surgeries, organ transplants, surgeries, and more.
So I ask, is your life and your future worth a 30 day sacrifice of pleasure foods? Only you can decide.
Rather than tell you what you cannot eat, I found this wonderful video that helps provide a gluten free overview of what grains you CAN eat. Be sure to check out my recipe library (which is growing as I find time to transfer my recipes) - which is completely gluten free - and kid approved. My children, now ages 12 and 17, have been taste testing my elimination diet recipes for the past 5 years. My daugher says that the Teff flour pancakes are the best pancakes she has ever had - say good bye to dry pancakes!
If you want to say good-bye to aches and pains, poor heart and high cholesterol - start small and reduce gluten in your life. Once you start to feel better I am confident you will want to eliminate more and more just to experience how good feeling good feels!

May you live each day making healthier choices for you and your body,
Rita S.

Choices...SICKcare or WELLcare?

9/16/2015

PILLS. PILLS. PILLS. Our healthcare system is really about SICKcare. Rx are bandaids to cover the root of the cause of the symptom. No pill is without a side effect, which creates yet more symptoms.
TRUE HEALTHCARE REFORM can only take place when we educate and take to heart the importance of TRUE FOOD. God food vs. Man Food. A berry, instead of a pill, for example. It is only with this conscience act of eating that we can avoid, diminish or even reverse issues such as Type 2 Diabetes, Heart Disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and even cancer.
Misconceptions abound,,,for example, a person with a heard condition is likely told to avoid fat. FAT. There is no distinction as to what type of fat to avoid...so the patient assumes ALL FAT. Contrary, the heart needs GOOD FAT to function properly. Avoid the fats found in processed foods, salad dressings, Canola (sorry - it is NOT heart healthy), margerine (one of the most toxic "foods" on the planet!), etc. Instead, eat REAL BUTTER made from milk from grass fed cows, coconut oil - know for its heart healthy benefits, flaxseed oil (fresh - avoid anything that has been on the shelf long term or doesn't have a system to reduce air exposure - we use Barleans brand). If your body does not have an intolerance or sensitivity to dairy - a bit of cheese from grass fed cow or goat is fine in limited amounts.
Remember that dairy is an acidic food, so moderation is key. One wants to strive for the 80/20 rule to maintain disease preventing oxygen ratios to the cells. One's food choices should ideally be 80% plant based, and 20% animal based. To learn more about blood pH and its importance please visit my friends at Truth About Cancer and this very helpful article. We use pH test strips by Hydrion to monitor each member of our family. Our daughter is fascinated by the subject and is always asking questions about the pH of the foods we eat and what she sees other kids eat in their school lunch.

Your cells need to be firing at 100% and to do so they need the proper fuel.

May you feel great, look great and live great!
Rita S.

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!
