Making
the move to anything “new” is challenging. Whether it is a new country, a
house, a belief, parenting for the first time or a way of approaching health,
there are inherent challenges that lay within making those moves. But now is
the time to make the move. Why? Because one person dies every twenty-four
minutes in the USA alone from drugs the majority of which do not start out as
addictive but turn out that way. This year more American’s for example will die
from drug overdoses than from any other type of accident – including car
accidents. And if you live in another country don’t be fooled that it is not
happening in your country too. In most cases those deaths are a result of what
is stored in the home medicine cabinet. Here are some stats to sober the
situation.
- 61… the average number of deaths from pharmaceutical drug deaths per day according to the CDC
- 12 million people 12 or over have used prescription drugs non medically
- Everyday 2,500 teenagers will use a prescription drug to get high for the first time.
- 12 to 17 year olds abuse prescription drugs more than they abuse ecstasy, crack/cocaine, heroin and methamphetamine.
- 90% rise in poisonings from 1999-2008 many due to prescription drugs
- Just as many children per day abuse prescription drugs as there are abusers of marijuana.
Currently
there is a state of dilemma when it comes to health and not just for the 12 –
17 yr old age group either. People are living longer and yet they are sicker.
It is not uncommon now for an elderly person to be on five or more medications
in their later years; drugged and deadened to their senses and thus their
world. I ask you is that what you want your life to look like or better yet the
life of your child? I lay my life on it that you’re not wanting or wishing for
that. People of western industrialized countries are now living 10 years longer
than what people did in the 1960’s and yet we are a more drug addicted
population reliant on outside means to make us supposedly “healthy.”
The medicinal, mechanistic, allopathic health world you live in has
led you away from all things natural such as your innate intelligence, plant
nourishment, organic food, herbs and oils. You are bombarded daily with advertisements
from TV, radio, print media amongst others that will supposedly cure you.
What a grim image.
Question…
If
medicine gives you health shouldn’t the people taking the most
medicines
be the healthiest people?
1) Umm…
so really there is no time like the present to get back into the driver’s seat
of your health and your child’s health and look for new ways to approach
health! I image you want to open up your world and see how health can have a
different expression and be a very different experience, however
you may be wondering where to start and you maybe over whelmed. Moving away
from what is familiar to a place where it can look starkly different can raise
your uncertainty about undertaking such a new step. To assist you with the
uncertainty I have provided for you three helpful ways to at the very least
give you some momentum.
Read
as much as you can on the innate intelligence of the human body. A great place
to start of course is my book The Vital Truth which you can download here
This will assist with building your confidence as you read the stories from
people who decided to do something different in the face of a health challenge.
2) Register for the
complimentary vital moms e-course 5 Powerful Steps on How to Take Charge of
Your Child’s Health & Be Confident With The Decisions You Make! We have
just finished loading it into the website! It is packed with easy to understand
information to assist with opening your world, instilling confidence and
creating the first steps to seeing health differently.
3) To make the transition
smoother I educate parents on what I call scissoring. It is
a term I coined to describe the movement that will begin when you decide that
taking the step to look at health differently is indeed what you want to do. I
couple it with a well known theory called Kaizen (see chapter 22 of The
Vital Truth). When combined - scissoring + Kaizen - you have
a powerful and proven strategy for how to begin making the move. For
those of you familiar with my book The
Vital Truth you will know of Kaizen, for those of you newer to me
Kaizen maybe something quite foreign.
Let
me explain a little more about Kaizen. Kaizen originated in Japan in the
1950’s, actually more specifically the automotive industry in Japan with Toyota
still using the philosophy today to manufacture cars and build it’s company. It
is interpreted as continuous improvement and is seen as a way of life
philosophy. Proponents of Kaizen accept that change is imminent in our life and
every aspect of it deserves to be continually improved. Kaizen espouses
simple, specific, gradual and continuous change. In acknowledging that
small, gradual and continual steps are beneficial in sustaining change, you can
move forward to look at how to integrate the changes you wish to see in your
health and indeed your life.
At
vital moms we understand that you may not be ready nor might you be at the same
level of confidence when it comes to making decisions for yourself and your
child as other moms and that’s okay. That is one of the reasons why the Vital Moms
club was established, to assist you with making the moves and
empowering you with choice – allopathic, alternative and alternate.
I
believe your innate intelligence, our vital moms philosophy, regular
adjustments, nerve system integrity and tuning into the wisdom of your own
body (physically, chemically and emotionally) can assist you to resolve the
many health challenges you create.
You
however have to be prepared to start!
