Changing up … for Today

Thursday, August 13th, 2009

Yesterday, got up about 4:45 and was out the door by 5 a.m. Had done 8,759 steps by 7:12 so, IF my focus was on 10,000 steps, wouldn’t take much more. Didn’t go out walking again yet, what I did at home brought me to 10,455. Shows me I don’t sit as much as I sometimes think I do.

This morning, thought I’d change up. Fitness is not just about cardio. It’s about strength, balance, flexibility as well. I’ve got all the dvd’s yet, one of my favorites is Turbo Jam. Went down to the sun-room, put on Turbo Sculpt. Never did that one. It’s really good! I was looking for a great leg workout and that’s it! Funny, with all the weights and toys I have, I don’t have free weights anymore. I could use my Indian clubs but, a bit awkward. Going to use them next time since I now know the program. Even without, really good legs!

Results of the first week of my “Tap Into Your Ideal Weight” live and local program!!! A few of the women emailed me, said they didn’t do all the home-play, blah, blah, blah, so I sent an email out telling them I’m not their mommy and they’re not bad and not going to be punished ~ so one thing we worked on is “guilt”. I’ve been doing this work long enough to know that, when working with the mental/emotional, that ol’ monkey mind is NOT feeling safe and will be chattering in the ear giving ANY reason to not continue. It really likes people to stay JUST the way they are, even if it kills them (and, obesity can kill you).

So, EVERYone showed and thanked me for the email. Many said it took the burden off. They were feeling guilty. One did say, she was tapping on “loving and honoring myself completely”… and said she’d messed up on her food program yet, no beating herself up as she would have done normally. That’s a HUGE biggie for her! More about her in a bit.

A few women said they’d eliminated 4-5 pounds!!! (Funny how THEY are the ones most skeptical still). Many said that there were times they would normally eat yet, just didn’t feel to. They were more aware of what was going into their mouths, when and why.

A few said it wasn’t the tapping, but other things we worked on ~ which is fine. Whatever works. lol Personally, I KNOW the tapping enhances and breaks/eliminates the blockages in the system to where we CAN have the awarenesses.

These classes were SO much different than last week’s. Last week you’da thought I had
shanghaied them and forced them to be there instead of them voluntarily coming and PAYING!

This week the energy was SO much higher, the participation SO much better. Last week, couldn’t even hear what they were saying; this week they WANTED to talk about results! How cool is that?

Oh, the woman I mentioned earlier wanted to work on stress. Now, understand, there are more aspects than just one. We could tap on “stress” in general yet, we found what else she did when she was stressed. First off, her main thing is, when she’s stressed, she eats a full carton of ice cream. This week, she had a MAJOR situation come up and, instead of ice cream, she went for brown rice. O.k., big step and, SHOPPING! What she did was exchange one addiction for another so, we tapped on and examined alternatives including remaining “calm and serene”. I also gave her some home-play to do for stressful situations.

Other things we worked on were “food as rewards”, frustration, anxiety and more. It was a full 90 minutes of tapping, focus and laughter.

Lowest price ever is still good for the teleclasses beginning the first week of Sept. There’s a Tue. evening class as well as a Wed. a.m. teleclass. If you’re Pasadena, Ca. local, might consider coming to that class being held on Wed. evenings. Now, do this ONLY if you’ve been frustrated at being on the “lost weight/found weight” roller coaster or, TRYING to stay on a food program through willpower. I can tell you, if you are an emotional eater… it’s tough to do it that way! Your body/mind (lil monkey inside) is not use to not having those “comfort foods” and will feel deprived when it thinks it “can’t” have. It’s always better to be able to say “no, I really don’t want that right now” and really know it’s true!

Injoy,

“Fighting For the Title”

Wednesday, December 24th, 2008

Last night I went to a wonderful performance called “Fighting for the Title” by Delores Burgess. Delores is the solo writer and performer of this one-woman musical journey. She brought me to tears numerous times with the beauty of her voice and the strength of her performance. She received numerous standing ovations as well she should have as, from my understanding, this whole journey began only six months ago. Her acting, singing and timing were magnificent.

What was the theme? Breast cancer. “Fighting for the Title” is based on Delores’ life, touring the “chitlin’ circuit”, leaving that to become a gospel singer and then finding out she has breast cancer and how she survives it.

After the performance there was a short question and answer session. I KNOW all who were there who knew me were hoping I’d keep my mouth shut, as I did.

According to Delores, she had stage 0 cancer. According to my research and interviews with people who have had up to stage 4 cancer ~ and lived w/out mutilation (surgery), chemotherapy (drugs) and radiation (burning), just a change in lifestyle can stop this from manifesting. Instead, from what I understand, Delores’ doctor pressured her into having immediate surgery.

Now, how does one stand up in a theatre and say, “So, since cancer is a lifestyle-based disease, what are you doing to prevent a recurrence?” There was talk about mammograms (yes, they’re often free because doctors make so much money on mutilation, drugs and burning, they well-cover the cost of the mammogram) and men going for check ups but not ONE word about what to do to prevent cancer in the first place. Not ONE!

People talk about having mammograms as prevention. They are NOT! They are, often, but not always (remember 50% of doctors’ diagnosis is wrong!) detection! They not only do not prevent cancer, they CAUSE cancer!

After the performance I was, well, can’t say shocked, yet kind of surprised that what was there to eat after was cookies, cupcakes, potato chips and a red, sugary drink ~ i.e. punch. In other words, sugar, fat, and artificial food coloring. All the things known to undermine the immune system.

During the program they also spoke about “soul food”. Now, the problem with many cultures is ~ the food. That’s why cancer often “runs in the family”. It’s actually not the cancer, it’s the lifestyle.

Here are a couple resources you might like to check out sometime to PREVENT cancer and, if you’ve already got it, there are some resources here in the way of interviews of people who have had cancer and have lived beyond the 5-year “survival” time. Oh, by the say, do you know how many people with would survive those 5 years without ANY “treatment” whatsoever? AND, if they took responsibility and stopped doing what was causing the problem in the first place? I can’t answer that but, in the resources listed here, you’ll get an idea there are probably a lot more than those who do.

Finally, a study was shown that chemo kills as many people as it “saves”. In reality, chemo doesn’t really save anyone. It’s a carcinogen. For those people who’ve survived it’s use, it’s because the chemo kicked the immune system into action and they lived in spite of the chemo.

Problem is, those who think the chemo was the answer, keep doing what they were doing to create the cancer in the first place and “hope” it doesn’t come back and when it does, they “hope” the chemo/radiation kills it again. Scary.

Interviews with long term cancer survivors:

Dr. Ruth Heidrich

Brenda Cobb

One of the longest and best studies ever done on cancer:

The best 2-hour video I’ve ever seen on cancer w/ interviews of doctors who healed themselves of cancer w/out drugs, mutilation or burning AND it states that oncologists will not go for chemo/radiation or suggest it for their own families:

Point of View of the Problem

Sunday, October 12th, 2008

This morning I received this understanding from my friend Sandy Brewer in her Inspirational thought for the Week: “It took me a long time to understand that I could be what I choose to be, that I am, indeed, that which has the capacity to look fear in the eye and dissolve it. No problem can be resolved from the point of view of the problem. I learned to ask myself, “What’s another way of looking at this?”

I’m going to extract one sentence from this that struck me: “No problem can be resolved from the point of view of the problem.” As a health practitioner and educator, I see people all the time coming from the “point of view of the problem”… in health, it’s the symptoms. How can I stop the symptoms? The symptoms are the “.. point of view of the problem”… they aren’t the cause, they aren’t the root, they are the warning signals that something is wrong.

So, what do we do? Let’s take the case of cancer since people are focused on that this month. Symptoms ~ lumps, tumors, skin lesions, etc. What do doctors do? They poison, burn and mutilate to eliminate the symptoms. What they DON’T do, is find the cause! Helllooooo! Anybody home? They then send the patient home to do what they’ve been doing to cause the problem in the first place! Do you know that IF the patient lives 5 years, that means they’ve cured cancer? Even if they die in the 6th (or, during the 5th)? That’s ridiculous!

Heart disease ~ same thing! We can stick some valves and some stents in to open up the arteries.. Hey! let’s take a vein out of the leg and use that! well, how cool is that? Now, go home and continue eating, drinking, smoking and living as you were, we’ll see you again in a few years.

Diabetes! Here, have some insulin and shoot up every day. You’ll be fine. Oh, and carry some candy around in case you mess up.

Am I the only one who sees how ridiculous this is?

Do you know that the majority of Americans in this country experience detectable cancer approximately 6 times in their lives? Cancer cells, from my understanding, live in our bodies. For them to get to a detectable stage takes YEARS of eating and doing the wrong things.

Do you know that the majority of people who have Type 2 diabetes can be diabetes free in as little as 3 days and sometimes up to 2 weeks? AND, many with Type 1 have eliminated insulin shots altogether or at least dropped the dosage significantly?

Do you know that heart disease can almost always be reversed w/in a few months?

So, why don’t doctors tell people this? There’s no money in it! At least not enough to keep them in the style to which they’ve become accustomed to.

How can you find out more? Check out these two videos as a first step.. There’s over 3 hours of interviews with accredited doctors, excerpts taken from many prestigious medical journals and interviews with people who’ve healed themselves without poisons, burning and mutilation. I’ve got these on sale until the end of the month of Oct. ‘08. $20 (and taking action on what you see) may save your life or that of someone you love. “Healing Cancer From the Inside” and “Eating“. Get them while I’ve got them in stock at that price!

If you know someone who has diabetes, there’s a new dvd out which addresses that specifically. It shows the journeys of 6 people diagnosed with diabetes ~ 5 with diabetes 2 and 1 with diabetes 1. All but one were insulin-injection free w/in 2 weeks… most w/in 3 days. It’s called: “Simply Raw ~ Reversing Diabetes in 30 Days“.

Yes, the holidays are coming up yet, what a great way to start the new year… taking better care of oneself. What do you think?

By the way, I’ve currently got openings for two clients for consultation. If you’re interested in working with me, please contact me at: Revvell@Revvellations.com and put “Potential Client” in the subject line.

Yours in health,

Still In the Dark Ages

Tuesday, September 23rd, 2008

Yesterday, after finding out an acquaintance has just been diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer, I received a newsletter from Glendale Adventist Medical Center. Now, I have to tell you ~ this is supposed to be one of the most prestigious medical centers in the U.S. if not the world.

Before I go into the newsletter, let me tell you MY experience with this place. Back around 1980 I knew I didn’t want to have children and chose to have my tubes tied. I went through all the counseling, all the fears, etc., then had a friend drive me over as it’s an out-patient operation and one can’t drive themselves home. They do a final blood test before doing the operation and come back to inform me that I’m pregnant. Well heyyy! The woman next to me is obviously pregnant! I am NOT! 13 years on “the pill” and I go to get my tubes tied and I’m told I’m pregnant?

They tell me they cannot do the operation and to come back in two weeks. Well, I KNOW I’m not pregnant. I go back and another doctor tells me I have no signs of pregnancy. I tell her, “well, there’s a reason for that ~ I’m not pregnant”. She then asks me what I want to do? Reschedule the operation? Um, no, I don’t think so.

This was the second time I’d been misdiagnosed and that was the last time I’ve been to a doctor.

Now, the GAMC newsletter. Front page: “Treatment You Can Trust”… “Over the course of a lifetime, one in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer….. What kind of surgery do I need?” Then they go on to talk about surgeons, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists and plastic surgeons! Not one word about any other way of eliminating a lifestyle-caused dis-ease!!!

Here’s the topper ~ “Your best defense agains breast cancer ~ Annual mammograms…”. The thing that CAUSES cancer is your best defense?

Let’s go to page 3 ~ “reduce risk” ~

* More intensive screening. To find any potential cancer in its beginning stages you may be closely monitored with mammograms, ultra-sounds of the breast and ovaries, breast MRIs and other screen tests.
* Risk-reducing drugs. Certain prescription medications may help reduce, although not eliminate, the risk of breast or ovarian cancer.
*Prophylactic surgery. Surgically removing HEALTHY ovaries or breasts, or both, before they become cancerous.

Does anybody else see the insanity here? They will “screen” women with the stuff that CAUSES cancer, and remove HEALTHY organs and tissue. Nowhere does it say that lifestyle-caused disease can be reversed by stopping what’s causing the cancer. Nowhere does it say that disease cannot live in an alkaline/oxygenated environment. Nowhere does it say that ones’ thoughts and environment as much as anything else, can cause cancer and once those change, the cancer can disappear. Nowhere does it say there are other ways of healing oneself other than drugs and mutilation.

You know what I love? People are giving BILLIONS of dollars every year to the ACA to find a cure for cancer and it’s already there ~ it’s called our immune system.

What’s truly funny to me (not funny ha ha but funny peculiar) is that, every once in awhile they pretend to have come up with something new ~ a new drug, they’ve isolated some cancer cell or cancer “gene” to make people think they’re really doing something. Well, I’m here to tell you, we’ve all got cancer cells inside us from what I understand and a strong immune system is what’s keeping them at bay.

Also, if any of these things worked, why, are their only choices the same they’ve been for over 30 years now ~ Radiation, chemotherapy and mutilation?

Now, I don’t think I’ve ever seen where they suggest men have their prostates or their testicles removed to prevent cancer. I guess women’s body parts are expendable.

Oh! BTW ~ the surgeons they are promoting on the front page ~ are all women.

Enjoy your day,

Sizzling Summer Special

Monday, July 7th, 2008

As I’m reading the usual bad news in the latest AARP Bulletin about Sick Care (o.k, they call it “health” care but you’ve got to be sick in order to take advantage of it) I’m truly amazed at the advice given including:

Know your coverage
Challenge the decision
Apply for “charity care” ( huh? )
Get an advocate
Seek other money
Avoid medical credit
Get Insurance (and, what does it insure?)

Nowhere does it say ~ Stop expecting others to do what you can do for yourself ~ Change your lifestyle and become healthy! It’s your health! Your life! Your body!

The American Cancer Society, with all it’s billions of dollars will never find a cure for cancer as long as humans keep creating it! The American Heart Association will never find a cure for heart disease as long as humans keep creating it! Consider this ~ IF the AMA and ACS go out of business, what happens to our economy? THOUSANDS of people will be out of work, lose their homes, etc. THOUSANDS of people who are living off the laziness of others. Yes, you read that right. People have told me straight out that IF someone else made the food for them they’d eat it. MANY have told me they don’t have time! My question is, if you don’t have time to make a simple smoothie that takes less than 15 minutes a day including clean-up, how are you going to have the time to go to doctors? How are you going to have time to recover from the treatments? When will you find the time to have surgery? How will you take care of loved ones when you are ill? Who will take care of you?

Changing you lifestyle and eating healthy is waaaaay less expensive than paying off hospital bills. 

This is YOUR life and YOUR life is your responsibility! 

There is no CURE for what WE are doing to ourselves other than to stop doing it!!! Drugs do not cure! Radiation treats symptom. Surgery removes symptoms! Get to the cause! Illness is almost 95 percent lifestyle caused. WE are the cause, we are also the cure!

I’ve started a mastermind group where you can learn how to take back YOUR health starting from where you are now. Contact me for more information. 

To get a head-start on this, you can order my Sizzling Summer Special between now and the end of July for only $19.95! (a $29.90 value) here: Sizzling Summer Special.

About the DVD:

The award-winning Eating Plus DVD covers a lot of ground very comprehensively – and all within 110 short minutes. Among the many highlights are interviews with Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn, Dr. Neil Pinckney, Dr. Ruth Heidrich and Dr. Joseph Crowe.

Dr. Crowe and Dr. Esselstyn are from the world-famous Cleveland Clinic Foundation and know something about heart disease. In fact, Dr. Esselstyn directed the longest and most successful heart disease reversal program ever. These interviews will convince you that cardiovascular (heart) disease, the #1 killer in America today, can be reversed by changing to a plant-based diet. What you will get is a virtual one-on-one consultation with some of the world’s leading authorities on heart disease reversal. Dr. Pinckney and Dr. Crowe both reversed severe heart disease by simply changing their food program.

If you know someone with heart disease, cancer or any other dis-ease – who doesn’t? – this will probably be the most valuable tape they will ever watch – and from authorities with impeccable credentials. And if you eat to prevent disease, you will also prevent the other major chronic diseases that are plaguing Western nations. You will also hear from 72-year old, Dr. Heidrich who, after surgery, treated her breast cancer without chemotherapy, radiation or any other conventional treatments.

In addition, the DVD also contains testimonials from people who have reversed a wide range of diseases, including genetically-based high cholesterol, gout, arthritis, chest pains/acid reflux, high blood pressure, asthma and adult-onset diabetes.

The Eating DVD is used in wellness clinics throughout the world to motivate people to change their diets and restore their health.
