My excitement is barely containable, I have gone from someone who was
feeling like there was no hope in the world and that I would never be
able to eat normal food or have a normal life again to someone who is
excited about all that life has to offer me and am getting better every
day in every way!
It all started with Louise Hay.
This semester
has been my first at my new college where I study Naturopathy and
Nutrition. I had been told about Louise Hay before by a wonderful
massage therapist, Kim from the Kahuna Connection in Brisbane, she
mentioned it might help for my skin problems, I thought it sounded a bit
silly and had been so used to telling myself such negative things that I
brushed it off.
This semester my favourite teacher Leonie
constantly referred to Louise Hay in different subjects and in different
ways and many of my students spoke of her teachings highly. I finally
got up the courage to purchase a single book, Empowering Women. I
devoured it rapidly and wanted more so I bought two of her audio Cd's
for personal healing, I Can Do It affirmation cards and You Can Heal
Your Life the movie and book as well as Modern-Day Miracles, the stories
of those who changed their lives with Louise Hay's materials.
It
has only been two weeks since I started this Louise Hay business but
since then amazing things have happened. My friend Reece casually
mentioned Bioresonance therapy for allergies/intolerances and I
immediately looked it up and found Melanie from Into Harmony, I liked
the look of her site best http://www.intoharmony.com.au/. She had a nice
video explaining the treatment and her personal story resonated with
me.
I also came across several wonderful facebook groups of others
who are experiencing food related problems, they also mentioned
Bioresonance therapy as well as provided me and each other with a
tremendous amount of support.
I couldn't afford the appointment
and then my tax came back! (All my affirmations and changed thoughts
about the way the universe works were working). I was thrilled and
booked in with Melanie right away. She was so warm and accepting of me
immediately. We got to work straight away and she started testing
different things in my body with the Bioresonance machine- if you want
to know what on earth this thing is watch
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-Oyrc752C4
In between all the
tests she also worked with me on Emotional Balancing Therapy which was
really wonderful and powerful, quite similar to Louise Hay's work, you
can read about her different therapies here
http://www.intoharmony.com.au/id138.html
So my tests revealed that
I have Epstein Barr virus, Herpes Simplex (cold sore virus), I react to
dust mites, grass, sulfur (just sulfur ripened fruits, dried fruit and
smoked meat), animals, wheat flour (but not gluten), dairy (just that
with sugar in it, which means I can have natural yoghurt, fresh goats
cheese and fresh organic cheeses), sugar and oats (weird), salicylates
didn't even register and apparently my reactions are from the the other
environmental allergens exacerbated by a candida problem (I knew this
would be the case given the huge amount of antibiotics, steroids and
also the bout of contraceptive methods that I reacted very poorly too). I
also had some parasite issues, a bit of a copper problem as well as a
few other heavy metals and some radiation.
It is important to note
that there is no point in undergoing Bioresonance if you are unwilling
to make the necessary nutritional and environmental changes in your
life. You have to be ready and willing to HELP YOURSELF!
The
machine then went about its business of beginning to eliminate these
problems for me by treating them with the appropriate frequency patterns
and supporting the body's own regulatory system. This sorts out the
communication among the cells meaning the stressing substances can set
free and removed!
Melanie also prescribed me a single remedy to
assist with my healing and gave me a pack of information to read to help
with creating an environment and body that can maintain my health.
It
was the best thing I have ever done with my life. I will literally be
cured of all my problems in a very short time with the help of Louise
Hay, Bioresonance and nutritional support. I couldn't be happier or more
excited!
All the best to you all and if you suffer from
allergies, anxiety, stress, migraines, chronic fatigue, candida,
sinus/hay fever, pain, ADD/ADHD, viruses, chemical sensitivities,
radiation, heavy metal toxicity, parasites, scars, hormonal imbalances,
skin conditions, infections, addictions, emotional issues or digestive
complaints (or really anything) I HIGHLY recommend looking into
Bioresonance therapy in your area and starting your own personal healing
with Louise Hay!

Healing Leaky Gut to Ease Allergies and Food Intolerances
Leaky gut, candida and other digestive disorders can HUGELY impact
how severe your reactions to foods you don't tolerate well will be.
When the gut becomes leaky or too permeable this will mean that large particles of food as well as pathogenic microorganisms can escape into the blood stream wreaking all kinds of havoc including immune responses to foods.
Leaky gut can occur very quickly and become a serious problem. It can happen to anyone at any time. The main causes are as follows:
SO how do we deal with this problem and come to a place where we are well and can return to a nearly normal diet (just avoid those foods that a very high in salicylates most of the time)
FIRSTLY I cannot stress enough that it is fairly imperative to see a highly qualified and reputable naturopath and/or nutritionist and seriously read Louise Hay, I Can Heal Your Life. Being able to cope with life's stress and promoting positive thoughts are essential for healing.
This is how I am dealing with the problem
I take Active Elements Minerals to support my mineral deficiences.
I spoke with the founder of Active Elements, Leslie Fisher and he confirms they do not contain salicylates.
I take Bioceuticals Ultra Clean EPA/DHA plus Fish Oil to assist with inflammation.
I take Thomson's B Complex
Bioglan Vit C (pure no salicylate formula, avoid those with riboflavanoids, rutin etc)
I take Bioceuticals Ultra Biotic 45 to replenish good bacteria
(Edit) OOPS! I also take 2mLs Metagenics liquid zinc at night, I have it after dinner and have a Vit C drink as well which stops it making me feel sick in the stomach.
Doing a detox for a few days can really help, the detox may involve just drinking bone broth soup and juiced vegetables (from the low salicylate column) this gives the digestive tract time to heal as the nutrients are much more easily assimilated and digestion can rest.
When you do go back to whole foods when you are eating make sure that you are relaxed, are enjoying your food to the fullest and CHEW YOUR FOOD PROPERLY!! For the love of everything, leaving huge chunks of food in your mouth and just swallowing them whole is a sure fire way to put distress on your digestive system and contribute to the dis-ease. Sounds gross but please savour your food and chew it in your mouth WELL before swallowing. It doesn't matter if it takes you an hour to eat it. Making something delicious and yummy and savouring every mouthful will go a long way in fixing the problems.
One of the most important aspects of healing digestive health is including a good bone broth and low salicylate vegetable soup, the properties from the bones really go a long way in healing the digestive tract. See my recipe on this blog.
Eliminate unnecessary toxins, I use a Zazen water filter at home, I open and air the house daily, do breathing exercises and make sure I go out and get some sun (Vit D) and fresh air every day.
Look into other alternative methods of healing such as acupuncture, massage (my favourite is kahuna), reflexology and something I am yet to try but looks extremely interesting is Bioresonance therapy http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=bioresonance+therapy&oq=bioresonance+therapy&gs_l=youtube.3..0.74.2731.0.2832.16.10.0.5.5.1.469.1836.4j3j1j0j2.10.0...0.0...1ac.1.X3K9QJus5Fo
I am sure I will edit and update this as time goes on, I have probably forgotten a number of helpful tips.
All the best to you all and all my healing thoughts with you.
Jessie.

When the gut becomes leaky or too permeable this will mean that large particles of food as well as pathogenic microorganisms can escape into the blood stream wreaking all kinds of havoc including immune responses to foods.
Leaky gut can occur very quickly and become a serious problem. It can happen to anyone at any time. The main causes are as follows:
- Yeast or Candida- Yeast is a single celled microorganism and is found in every human body. This is fine when it is kept in check, however when it gets out of control (which is usually due to antibiotics which kill off other good bacteria but leave candida to proliferate out of control) it becomes a serious problem as it mutates into a fungal form which literally grows root like tentacles that drill into the sensitive mucosal lining and poking holes into the gut causing it to become leaky!
- STRESS- stress is a serious factor here- most people with candida and/or leaky gut concentrate obsessively on the diet and less on dealing with how stressed, uptight, angry and/or resentful they are. Stress literally suppresses immune and intestinal function and if left will create serious problems with leaky gut. I recommend purchasing Louise Hay's book You Can Heal Your Life, cheap on fishpond and they do free postage, I have also found her Cd's very helpful for quiet meditation as well as taking a walk in the park each morning and practicing yoga. Take time for yourself, take the kids to the park if you have kids, breathe deeply and instead of criticising yourself and others so much and blaming people or circumstance, tell yourself positive, affirming statements and take control of your own life.
- Medications- See a highly experienced naturopath and/or nutritionist that understands salicylate intolerance and talk to them about coming off any unnecessary antibiotics, steroids etc. Stop taking over the counter pain relief like ibuprofen (obviously if you are allergic to salicylates you would avoid anything with aspirin anyway).
- Zinc deficiency- Have your naturopath and/or nutritionist test for zinc deficiency, this can also lead to gut permeability, if you are deficient make sure you are supplemented with a high quality liquid zinc.
- Diet- Eliminate refined flour, gluten, sugar, toxic fats and processed and packaged foods. This is an obvious for most people who are salicylate intolerant as processed foods contain a BOATLOAD of artificial colours, flavourings and preservatives which can trigger fairly major reactions. Although refined flour and sugar are apparently safe for someone who is salicylate intolerant they will most certainly contribute to a leaky gut and keep you very sensitive to any new foods. For health and healing please look at my nutritional guidelines on this blog.
SO how do we deal with this problem and come to a place where we are well and can return to a nearly normal diet (just avoid those foods that a very high in salicylates most of the time)

Yummiest Gluten Free, Low Salicylate Pasta that KIDS WILL LOVE (and adults too)
This is my absolute favourite failsafe pasta dish that I am proud to have invented myself! I adore it and so does my son :)
It is wheat free, gluten free, nut free, low in salicylates (or moderate if you prefer sweet potato) and delicious!
It does contain dairy however goats cheese is generally better tolerated than cows. I find that I can tolerate it ok but I am not as sensitive to dairy as some.
Ingredients:
Put the oven on 200 degrees or around 400 fahrenheit and peel and chop potato/sweet potato into small bite size pieces, about 2cm cubed, place on a baking tray with some oil/butter and some celtic sea salt and put it in the oven until it is nice and golden brown and cooked through.
Place some water onto boil
While it is cooking chop up the leeks and shallots into slices and place in the frying pan on medium heat with a decent amount of butter and cook until golden brown
Once water is boiling cook up the pasta, as soon as it is ready, strain and mix through the fresh goats cheese.
When everything is else is cooked, throw it all into the pot of cooked pasta with goats cheese and mix it all around, put in a little more salt if you feel it needs it.
ENJOY! Such a simple delicious meal. I hope you love it as much as I do :)
I will leave you with some affirmations by the beautiful Louise Hay, say these to yourself throughout the day, in the morning, in bed at night, as you cook and in the shower. Remember to tell yourself that you love yourself and that you accept yourself. Especially in the mirror.
"My life gets more fabulous every day. I look forward to what each new hour brings."
"I am a radiant being, enjoying life to the fullest."
"I know that old, negative patterns no longer limit me. I let them go with ease."
I have really been enjoying reading her books and listening to her audio Cd's, I highly recommend it.
Much support and healing thoughts to you.

Ingredients:
- 1 packet of organic brown rice pasta or Orgran rice, garlic and parsley pasta shells.
- A few potatoes or 1-2 sweet potatoes if you can tolerate something from the moderate salicylate category now and then, I have started introducing sweet potato, pumpkin and peas with success, I love it with sweet potato but fine if you can only use potato.
- Celtic sea salt
- 1 packet of fresh goats cheese (find at health food store or markets, can even be found at normal supermarkets generally now) if you cannot access this use cottage or ricotta cheese
- 250gms of homemade, organic butter from pasture fed cows (you should also be able to get organic butter from your local health food store or markets)
- A bunch of shallots
- 2 leeks
- A small amount of organic, cold pressed sunflower oil or more butter for roasting the potato/sweet potato
Put the oven on 200 degrees or around 400 fahrenheit and peel and chop potato/sweet potato into small bite size pieces, about 2cm cubed, place on a baking tray with some oil/butter and some celtic sea salt and put it in the oven until it is nice and golden brown and cooked through.

Letting go of the Resentment
I have resented a lot of things in my life. My asthma, acne, the
people that bullied me, friends that weren't there for me, my allergies,
salicylate intolerance, government bodies, situations, day to day life.
I have also harboured a great deal of anger about many of these things.
According to Louise Hay the biggest four emotions that create dis-ease
in the body are resentment, anger, fear and guilt. I think I have been
holding onto all of these emotions for many years, and by the way it is
now scientifically proven that thoughts and emotions can either create
dis-ease or promote healing, I mean Louise Hay and many of her readers
have cured themselves of CANCER with the power of nutrition,
affirmations, self-love and positive thinking and there has been a great
deal of research surrounding neuropeptides and their connection with
illness. If you are interested in understanding more about the amazing
power of your thoughts and emotions take a look at the book It's the Thought that Counts: Why Mind Over Matter Really Works.
If you only ever buy one book in your entire life make it Louise Hay's You Can Heal Your Life. Honestly. It will completely change the way you think and if you practice your affirmations and are truly grateful for your life, your family, the food you CAN eat rather than that you can't, your life will completely change for the better. For the love of everything stop blaming other people for the way your life is, your partner, your parents, your kids, your boss, the asshole that just cut you off, the bully at work. You attract your experiences by the thoughts you think, if you take control and think positive, loving, affirming thoughts and stand your ground, be kind but firm, these experiences and situations will begin to dissipate.
Look in the mirror and say to yourself I love you, I really love you. Practice your affirmations, you can make them up, or buy a deck of cards from Louise Hay, everything is cheap on fishpond, get some SUNSHINE, it's not hard to take your kids down to the park or go on a nice walk and sit in the grass, look around you at all the beauty, stop seeing the ugly and the bad in everyone and look for the good, the little old lady with a scary beard and not so attractive clothes could be the kindest, most wise woman you have ever encountered.
Stop WHINING about your intolerances, really, last night I ate an organic eye fillet, in a homemade butter sauce (butter that I had made myself from organic, pasture fed cream), fried up some leeks and shallots and made some suede mash with butter, celtic sea salt and natural yoghurt. Dinner fit for a queen! Next post I will post my all time favourite delicious pasta dish that kids will LOVE.
Also if you are worried about all the butter I consume, stop, you have been fed a ridiculous amount of lies about butter, read these articles for more information http://bodyecology.com/articles/benefits_of_real_butter.php, http://www.westonaprice.org/know-your-fats/skinny-on-fats.
Much love and support to you all :)

Affirmations and my Perfect, Low Salicylate Breakfast Smoothie
Recently I have discovered the magic of Louise Hay and her healing
through affirmations, self love and positive thinking. Every morning I
wake up, thank the universe for my beautiful family, my life, the food I
DO get to consume (and forget about the food I can't), my home, my
friends and my education. Then I meditate for a little while in the sun
and tell myself that I am worthy, vibrant, healthy and a good person. I
actually stand in front of the mirror and say I LOVE YOU, I REALLY LOVE
YOU. Yes I felt like a complete and utter dickhead when I first started
doing this, like I am tooting my own horn or something. But it has
really changed my life, I also read I Can Do It Affirmations every day. I
can feel my health getting better, my skin is clearing and even my sons
behaviour has changed because I am happier within myself.
According to Louise Hay, metaphysically allergies relate to being allergic to someone and denying your own power, she recommends the affirmation "The world is safe and friendly. I am safe. I am at peace with life". Say this to yourself several times each day.
Now for a delicious, low salicylate, green breakfast smoothie!
Juice a few stalks of celery and one packham pear, add some low salicylate pea protein powder (I like Tony Sfeir's or Eagle) and blend with some natural yoghurt (Barambah is organic and ridiculously delicious), voila! Protein packed, alkalising, energy giving and DELICIOUS smoothie :)
