Perhaps I should start this post by first apologizing for not posting since late June. I have no excuses other than this was a difficult summer for me and I really battled with depression and was stuck in a very difficult place.

Moving forward now (no longer stuck thank GOD!), two weekends ago I participated in a really worthwhile training weekend with Richard Flook of META-Medicine. I’m sure that I’ll be blathering on more about the concepts of META-medicine and healing for ever. It’s based on the principles of German New Medicine (go learn more at http://www.germannewmedicine.ca/ – I especially suggest that you read the 5 principles) combined with several other healing modalities including my favourite – EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique – for videos on how to do this, just search on http://www.youtube.com/. There’s tons of information available that is very simple and easy to follow).

Since the training weekend, I’ve been reading both all of the information available online about German New Medicine (no trainings available in the GTA until 2013!) and reading through Richard’s book “Why Am I Sick?”. For me it’s a completely new way of looking at the disease process and gives many new tools for healing. Anyway, Chapter 11 is very important.

Richard Flook spent 2 months researching Antibiotics and Vaccines and their efficacy. The result is this very well written, concise, well researched chapter that is available to everyone online. I strongly recommend that everyone read it – whether or not you have children in the immunization ages. Here’s the link to the chapter: http://www.whyamisick.com/chapter-11-why-am-i-sick-extract/#more-1714.

For his research he used Lynne McTaggart’s book, ‘What Doctors Don’t Tell You’ (available online at http://www.wddty.com/ – absolutely worth becoming a member to receive access to their online information) and ‘The Vaccine Book’ by Robert Sears, MD, FAAP (available at Amazon and online at http://www.thevaccinebook.com/).

Some other useful websites about vaccination he suggests include:
http://www.nvic.org/ – National Vaccine Informatin Centre
http://www.vaccines.net/ – A website about many health issues
http://www.whale.to/ – Interesting website on all things to do with health

I spent the day yesterday working on – but really avoiding – my essay for Nutrition and the Environment. During my avoidance, I mean research, I came across the movie Vaccine Nation (it’s linked so you can watch it too when you have 1 1/2 hours).The environment course has me really struggling on so many levels – which is why I’m having a very hard time completing the assignment. I struggle with the knowledge that most people on this earth are good and do not intend to harm. I truly believe that most medical doctors honestly intend to help the human race stay healthy. And I think that most cleaning products were really developed because they do kill germs and make our world cleaner.But how did it all go so horribly wrong? How did all of that positive energy get turned around – was it hubris? Thinking we were right and not checking and re checking the results?How did we get to a place where we are poisoning ourselves and our children to the point where 1 out of every 6 women already has high enough levels of mercury in their system to cause damage to their unborn fetus? This statistic from Vaccine Nation really affected me. What happens to those tiny infants, born carrying a toxic load, and then we welcome them with adding to that burden by injecting them with known neurotoxins and heavy metals in vaccines? How can they fight back and stay healthy?Is this why so many of our children are struggling with ADD, ADHD, Autism, learning disabilities? When we introduce unnatural materials into our body, we create a burden on that body. When the body is healthy it will fight off the disease and/or chemicals and return itself to a more healthy stasis state. But if the body is already unhealthy and struggling to clear itself out, the burden becomes “unclearable” and chronic disease states occur.Yet, I choose to perhaps take a more “Pollyanna” view. Although all of this truly concerns and frightens me, I know that we, the human race, brought ourselves to this point – and are therefore totally capable of switching gears and turning this car around.Let’s accept the mistakes that we have made, learn what brought us to this point and move forward with a common goal to bring the Earth (yes, we have to focus on the Earth first) back to a stasis state so that it can heal itself – and all those who dwell here.
