Hey everybody,
Today I got the privilege of learning in another herbal class led by Kshamica MD, a guest on my radio show 'Perspective's Corner' earlier this year. Every week she shares her knowledge about the many healing herbs on the planet, and how to specifically use them for overall well-being, remedies and cures.
I was impressed with the information I gained today, and I had to share!
Type 2 Diabetes is a widespread disease in America, and is growing in the number of people diagnosed everyday. This particular type of Diabetes can be brought on by poor eating (lots of fats, carbohydrates, sweets, etc...), no exercise, and genetics. Some of the symptoms can include feeling very tired and weak, excessive urination (peeing a lot), blurred vision, and unnoticed foot ulcers.
The #1 cause of blindness in America is now associated with Diabetes. It has also been linked to Heart Attacks and Strokes.
If your blood sugar is 125 or over, you are considered Diabetic.
Below, you will find herbal remedies and cures for one of the most preventable and all too common diseases effecting our culture. Aside from these herbs though, if you don't change your eating habits, they can only do so much to help you heal. With an altered lifestyle of eating less fats, sugars (candies, soda, white processed sugar, etc...) and simple carbohydrates (ie; pastries, white rice and pastas, certain types of breads, etc...), you can turn your diagnosis around. Or, at least you can see about getting off of the prescription drugs and using these natural remedies for maintenance of your well-being instead.
Did you know that ... ?
Gymnema Sylvestre (herb), if used consistently for a year, can treat your symptoms: improve blood sugar/ block the sweet tastes from your taste buds to lower your desire to eat sweets. Studies have also shown it to cure Diabetes in patients! ~ If you're serious about turning your health around, and would like to try another way (other than prescription drugs for maintenance) to get your well being back in order, try this herb.
Cinnamon (an herb native of Sri Lanka) is more than just an aromatic spice with great flavor. Practitioners say that taking a 1/2 teaspoon a day is great for treatment of Diabetes. Even Herpes, AIDS, cold and flu ailments are associated with benefits from Cinnamon!
Prickly Pear (herb) is another one of nature's healers linked to Diabetes treatment and even enlarged prostates.
Bitter Melon (an herb native of India) is excellent for Diabetes care. It helps to control blood sugar because it resembles insulin, which is how glucose (energy) gets into your cells. In addition, this bitter herb is a great anti-cancer and anti-viral remedy. It has also been celebrated to help with weight loss. You can cook this plant/fruit, or you can juice it for a more potent injection in the body.
So, there you have it... These are plants from Mother Nature that can help and heal you! Try them 'cut and sifted', ground and powdered, or in capsule form for use.
I almost forgot to add! Check out the video 'Raw for 30 Days' ... There are people who have released this condition from the body just by going raw (eating only living foods). Give life to life! ;-)
Live WELL,
Rho

Is It Time To Let Go?
“Some people believe holding on and
hanging in there are signs of great strength. However, there are
times when it takes much more strength to know when to let go and
then do it.” - Ann Landers
When I read that quote, I really
connected with it because I just recently went through a similar
situation. I had held on and hung in there... then, there came a time
when I needed to pay attention to the signs in front of me, and the
feelings inside of me. I had to gather the courage to face the fear
of letting go, and dive into the unknown.
I find that a lot of us will hide from,
mask or cover for what's in front of us, so that we don't have to
deal with the uncomfortableness of a haunting reality.
Is it time for
you to “feel the fear and do it anyway”? Are you possibly
blocking your ability to receive something better, or that's more in
alignment with what you want in your life? We've all been given an
intuitive sense, also called a “gut feeling”. Have you been
ignoring yours? This is a gift already placed within us to help in
times of decision and confusion. Will you let that still small voice
finally speak up and tell you what it's been trying to tell you for a
while now?
Sometimes, letting something go doesn't
mean that it's gone forever. It could also mean that you're allowing
time for a person, situation, or even yourself to heal, grow and/or
change for the greater good. No matter what your reasoning may be, if
you're dealing with a situation that has run its course, I'm wishing
you the best with taking the next necessary step towards what can
bring you more joy, prosperity, and fulfillment in your life.
Live BOLD, xo

Make More Empowered Choices NOW
"It's not the conditions of your life that
determine your destiny, it's your decisions..."-Tony Robbins ~ How many
people can you think of that came from challenging conditions
(neighborhood, poor parenting, negative influences, etc...), yet they
still turn things around and create prosperity (financially, in
relationships, in health)? We can learn from our decisions (especially
the "bad" ones) and choose more empowering ones NOW. Make a decision
today that can move you one step closer to the greater living you've
always desired for yourself. #YesYouCan #FindAMoreEmpowerdChoice #ActNOW

Is It In You?
"True ambition... is disciplined, eager
desire. A minute by minute, day by day mentality." - Jim Rohn ~ No
matter whether your desire is for better health, better finances, or
better overall living; your vision must be vivid... and your disciplined
drive...relentless. #IsItInYou

Get "Suited Up" ... You Never Know
So... I was asked to do a musicians showcase by a buddy in the entertainment industry. I didn't really know what to expect, I was just hoping that it would be decent enough to be apart of, and not regret it. Using the word regret is a bit strong, but you get my point.
When the day finally came to do the event, I was operating on 4 hours of sleep, and really wanted to throw in the towel. I fantasied about not going. I imagined myself getting the rest I so desperately needed, but I had given my word. Over time, I've really realized the power of 'keeping your word'. And, if for some reason, I'm not gonna be able to follow through, I do what I can to rectify the situation. However, this day, I made my way down to this restaurant/ diner.
I knew that it was an ongoing event for the day, so I figured that people would be flowing in and out. Upon entering the establishment though, I didn't realize the crowd would be so ... intimate ... and the initial described luster of the event would take on more of a 'dull finish' look. I mentally engaged, and prepared to 'do my best' anyway. The vendors, agents, etc... that were mentioned to be there seemed to had already made an exit, and the crowd seemed to be the gathering of a few old friends and supporters of the event organizer. Well ... my name was called ... and I greeted everyone and did what I do... perform. I met a few cool people afterwards and that was it. No fanfare ... just a few appreciative on-lookers and a showing of sincere gratitude from my buddy for coming out. I figured ... hmph... maybe it was a bust. Oh well, at least I kept my word. At least I showed up ...
Today (a little over a week later)... my entertainment buddy called me to say that someone had heard about my performance via another musician that attended. He listened to a snippet of what I did, and wanted to know if I would be interested in a few opportunities for recording and performing. Although I don't know if this venture will be more than the conversation I had with this person, this experience reminded me of the great teaching to always "suit up" anyway. You never know what might come your way. It could be from the most obscure place. Life is interesting and tricky like that.
Staying engaged in life requires our willingness, and meeting opportunity requires our preparation. If you've made a conscious and clear decision to do something, then following through on that decision instead of bailing on your choice, could be more valuable than you expect. And, you'll never know that if you don't "suit up" anyway. If nothing more, your experience could lead to more personal growth, and more people being able to depend on you. You can earn more respect from those around you, and gain more self confidence for pushing passed the uncomfortable. 'Showing up' is an invaluable trait that can produce even greater results later down the line.
Get "suited up", and let life open more pathways to your self-fulfillment.
Live Well,
Rho

Eating To Live ...
Some benefits of eating live foods: It can relieve and/or heal conditions and chronic diseases like Diabetes, High Blood Pressure, Migraines, Depression, Anxiety, Allergies, Asthma, Joint Pain, Fibrosis, and even Cancer ...
You can also lose weight, beautify the skin, tap into the 'fountain of youth' (slow aging), and provide 'natural' vitamins and minerals to the body that can enhance your vitality, clarity and energy. Imagine what it could feel like giving living foods to a living body more often.
Tip: Start adding more 'live food' (salads, vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds, legumes, sprouts, 'real juice', etc...) to your current eating lifestyle now. At the same time, cut down or eliminate some processed foods from your meals and snacks. Go through your kitchen and find healthier alternatives to the things in your cabinets and pantry. Take it one day at a time, and keep taking a step. Soon, you will find yourself making a sincere and realistic transition into a healthier lifestyle.
Give yourself the opportunity to 'thrive' through better choices in your foods. The more you know, the better choices you can make. Make the Internet, Youtube, books, etc... your friend. There's a wealth of information out there. No excuses ... Create the life you want for yourself. #YouCAN #LiveWELL
