Extract from a Seed

A friend recently returned from a wonderful trip to Costa Rica and Ecuador. The food is incredibly delicious and requires those not indigenous to the region to take some dietary precautions to prevent intestinal upset. She mentioned an old favorite of mine, grapefruit seed extract. It has powerful antibacterial properties. Taken ahead of time or in case of a suspected early onset of digestive chaos, it wards off a potential painful, time consuming recovery. I have had reports of relief from possible food poisoning by many who keep the inexpensive supplement in the medicine cabinet.



Another feature of grapefruit seed extract is that it helps to dissipate yeast in the body. Yeast contributes to a number of illnesses and the unwanted retention of fat in the body.



I suggest a high quality, organic product. Paste the link below and when on the home page, do a search for “grapefruit seed extract”. There, you will find a price and size that is perfect for you. Here’s to your health.

To the Purple Rain

One musician that I do not even list on any list or even think about anymore is Prince. He is now a very religious person and not too proud of his earlier creations of his career in the 1980’s. His epic song, “Purple Rain” was one of my anthems as a young woman in her 20’s back then. The songs deeper meaning just hit me and, instead of giving my interpretation, I humbly submit a cherished quote from a Master:



Thoth- They that are guided go not astray but they that are lost can not find a straight path.



The Purple Rain flows within…To reach it, seek those who reside there to guide the way.

So the Dream dreams you.

Let your Rivers flow. Tell all the Dreamers wake the Nations

For the new Atlantis

For it is the Dream afraid of waking, that never takes a chance

Radiate Life Liberation so the Dream dreams you…

Adapted from songs I love…
and from Paramahamsa Nithyananda

What About Gout?

What about Gout?



Gout is the result of an over accumulation of uric acid, that forms crystals in the body, resulting in severe joint pain. Some culprits that may trigger an episode are:



Stress-This causes the body to become too acidic, away from the natural body’s Ph balance. Also, the immune response is weakened by stress, thus rendering it less potent to help balance imbalances. Remember, like the Universe, we are delicately structured for just the right balance. Upsetting this equilibrium precipitates dis-ease. So RELAX…Try meditation, Yoga, prayer, chanting, singing, deep breathing to open the vital pathways in the body to begin to heal.



Diet- Eating foods that cause the body to make more acid such as, too much meat, organ meats, not combining foods correctly for proper digestion. I have had reported relief from clients who simply added some alkalinizing foods to their diets. Some of these foods are: cherries, lemons, especially in every glass of water consumed, avocadoes and sprouts. When eating meat, make sure the proportion is no bigger than the palm of the hand. Combine meats with fresh and lightly cooked veggies.



Medications-An RN, BSN of Columbus, a colleague and life-long friend (35 years), stated after she noted a change in a patient’s medication, “the symptoms were alleviated”. She goes on to remark, “Too many times one cause is targeted, when it may be as simple as a medication dose or brand change to bring about a remission”.



My father endured Gout off and on. He found taking some baking soda, couple of teaspoons in a full glass of water helped bring about a faster remission. Baking Soda has sodium bicarbonate, a great alkalinizer. Taking this remedy at bed-time until results occur is most helpful. If loose stools, diarrhea, occurs, take just one teaspoon full until symptoms subside.

Feed the Skin

Feed the Skin




I was asked lately about skin rashes on babies. Psoriasis, seborrhea and eczema are very prevalent among persons of all ages. One would wonder why a fresh, new baby would get these conditions. We know food allergies are rampant. Cow’s milk is most destructive these days. This is because of some of the processing of the milk, not the product itself. Pasteurization has all but eliminated the healthy probiotics in milk, making it a precipitator of imbalance in the body. Milk is good for rebuilding after an illness. The milk must be of high, organic quality. Raw Kefir, also known as Qephor, is milk with the good stuff not withdrawn from it. A good source of bi-available nutrients, probiotics and calcium. There is much debate on the matter of this product due to the worries of non-pasteurization. It is illegal to have it in some places. WOW.



So, what to do…Castor oil. Used by many of our parents, grandparents ancestors. Going even further, used by the Ancient Egyptians as a cure for many ailments. I know, if you have tasted the oil, it is not the most palatable. Well, you do not have to ingest it. Rub it on the body. Here is the secret: Rub it on the liver area of the body. That is right, the right side of the upper abdomen is the liver area and castor oil will sink right into that organ to begin detoxing your body. Light application to affected areas of the skin may be very helpful. Just go light so the skin can still breathe.

Sensual Reverence for a Peach

Some evenings, I enjoy sitting on my backyard deck and feel the sun. I do this during various times in the day and notice the power of the moment. It is in very pure truth that that exact moment is the very best. The other day, I had a very fresh peach in my palms. It was one of the darker ones on the peach tree in the yard. It was soothingly warm from the sun, rather like something one would like to snuggle up to because of its warmth. I held the luscious edible jewel up to my nose and waved it from side to side, relishing in its peachy bouquet. It was alluring in its delicacy. Taking the fruit to my mouth for the first bite was done carefully, so as not to loose any of the juices that would no doubt burst forth with the impact of my sinking teeth into its sweet flesh. I did loose some drops, for the gift of its fluid nectar was quite full. Savoring the bite in my grateful mouth, I chewed until the morsel was a creamy mouthful. I paused to swallow and experience the abundance of this gift. I knew the nutrients would assimilate into my very cells with goodness and heavenly energy. I finished the peach, slowly, deliberately; so as to eat to live, not live to eat. This peach was as good as my grandmother’s peaches in Arkansas when I was a little girl. Then, I ate greedily; the flies and bees were trying to advance on the juice running down my chin. I remember that goodness and this past day, I experienced that same precious moment, in a holy, sacred time. A sensual moment between a woman and her peach…





Eat with reverence, slowly, in consciousness and you will begin to notice health changes…

Silky Skin and More

Skin Brush for Your Health

Using a vegetable fiber brush with a long wood handle, slowly dry brush every part of your body before showering. A youthful glow will appear.



According to Dr. Linda Berry from Internal Cleansing, the basic principle is to brush from the outermost points of the body (hands and feet) toward the center. Do the upper body toward the heart and the lower body toward the abdomen. Begin with gentle strokes. Use a softer brush for your face. If vegetable brush is too hard at first, put a thin nylon stocking over the brush and use.



What does skin brushing do?

• Improves your lymphatic system

• Helps remove toxins from the body

• Stimulates the sweat glands

• Increases circulation

• Rejuvenates the skin

• Aids weight loss and loss of cellulite

Reference: Yerba Prima



I have been skin brushing for a while and I do it everyday, whenever I bathe, which can be over 3 times in the summer time. I have noticed more tone and skin that is silky to the touch. That long handle really allows the difficult areas on the back to be reached. It is truly a pampering with noticeable benefits!

Another Star

We look at the many stars hanging in the black onyx heavens and distinguish the subtle differences. One twinkles more than another, the next is brighter, it's close neighbor seems to pulse with inner light. We see them all and honor the unique attributes, one of the Godz many gifts to us. An offering in variety that appeals to the souls senses and delights our natural state of being. We marvel  at  what possibilities they bring. What energies we may capture from them. What pure love they hold in mystery.  Of all these wonders, we are drawn to a particular star that speaks in light and radiance only to it's mate in form, bound to earth.

My lips

Here are some useful tips for healthy lips on your face...
A moist cloth rubbed in just the right amount of friction for you will slough off chapped skin. Chapped lips may not only be due to dry environment. It may be indicative of a type of lip fungus caused by petroleum products. Yes, I know, I find the products effective too. But, they seal in too mmuch moisture, not letting the skin breathe enough, thus setting up a perfect host for fungus. Instead, try more gentle oils such as sesame or olive oil. Very good to put on at night after exfoliating. For some sexy color, try a natural Henna stain, known as Mehndi in India. Those lips you see on my profile picture are stained with a Henna stain called Marvest wine. Hows about a little kiss?!

Ducks in a pond

I tell this story in my Yoga class for holding on to "dead in the water " issues.
Two peaceful ducks in a serene pond floated upon the quiet currents with no worries of each other. Aware of the others presence, they both paid little attention of the closing distance between them. Such thoughts in a duck's mind could have been; " I see you over there, getting too close...", or " This is my space, duckie, back off!."
Once the distance became too short to ignore, the two ducks reached out and "touched" one another with fierce peckings, obnoxious  quacks and demonstrative flapping of wings. Then it all abruptly ended with one crescendo of wings extended full bredth and a gravity defying stand upon the water with their duck feet holding them high above the water's surface. They retreated to the opposite corners of the pond with one last , "in your face" quack. Then all was silent once again. Forgotten was the agressive  display a few seconds before. It just roled off their backs. Serenity returned as quickly as it left.
You decide the moral of the story...
