The following blog is an excerpt from my book: The Sovereign Health Solution

Many years ago, I learned first-hand how powerful your mind is in influencing your physiology. At that time, I was working while still studying, and my idea of managing stress was daily intensive exercise. No matter how exhausted I was feeling at the end of each day, I would gulp a caffeine drink or two and head to the gym, usually for a couple of hours of weight training followed by a high-intensity run or cycle.

This was long before I had a proper understanding of the fact that even though exercise is a healthy habit to have, it quickly starts working against you if you take it too far. I was absolutely taking it too far. At that point, I had a lot of unresolved trauma and was very easily emotionally triggered. It was not difficult for me to feel stressed to the point of feeling like I was not quite coping with life. I had very little resilience and so I was unknowingly abusing exercise as a way of trying...

All Healing Is Really Quantum Healing

Quantum physics is the main reason why somebody can have multiple traumas and be very emotionally toxic, or can have an autoimmune disease or cancer, and yet with the right motivation and application, this individual is able to not just restore their health but to thrive. Quantum physics teaches us that every material structure in the universe has a unique energetic signature. The surface you are resting on right now appears to be solid. However, in reality, if you were to examine these seemingly solid objects under an atomic microscope, you would realize there is nothing solid there and that you are looking at empty space. This is because 99.999999999999 percent of an atom is made up of nothing. By “nothing” we mean no solid particles, but this “empty space” is actually made of a matrix of a wide range of frequencies that creates a field of information.

We perceive objects in our physical reality as solid because their...

The Control Is in the Environment

Another empowering science with massive implications for healing is epigenetics. Until recently, we used to hear frequently that: there is nothing you can do because it is genetic. We know now that this is yet another outdated way of looking at disease and healing. Believe it or not, many doctors and patients are still playing the blame the genetics game. Those who like being victims love this narrative. That is OK. Some people are not ready to take responsibility, and we are not here to judge that. However, for anyone who wants to take control of their health, this science gives them that power because it clearly shows that we are not victims of our genes.

Epigenetics means the control is not in the genes but above the genes, which is what epi means. The bottom line is that if we optimize our mindset for healing and get all the dietary and lifestyle factors right, we have an incredible level of control over our health, which makes the relatively...

By now everybody out there is aware that meditation has a wide range of positive benefits for our health. A consistent mediation practice helps us reduce stress, slow down the ageing process, as well as improve concentration, sleep, our self-awareness, and acceptance. Because the process of meditation improves parasympathetic tone (induces relaxation), it does promote cardiovascular health and it also encourages the immune system to work correctly (super helpful for anyone with autoimmunity). But that is the thing. The main key word in this entire paragraph is CONSISTENT.

The effects of meditation are cumulative and even though many people appreciate that, how many people do you know who have a consistent meditation practice? The truth is that you will enjoy the benefits with as little as 15 minutes per day (although more in this case is better), yet how many of us do it regularly? When I quiz my clients on this, most of them will say: “I know it is super beneficial and I...

There are huge energetic changes on the planet. You will be particularly feeling this if you are more sensitive energetically.

This could mean all sorts of symptoms; fatigue, aches and pains, difficulty sleeping or waking up, new food intolerances or reactions to foods, attention deficit or lack of focus, memory issues (especially short-term), lack of drive or enthusiasm, physical sensations (e.g. humming or vibrating inside your body), difficulty breathing, digestive issues or discomfort, skin issues (dryness, eruptions), muscle spasms or random twitching, vibrations in your extremities, headaches, fatigue, electrical zaps, tooth pain, ringing in the ears, sensitivity to light and sounds, all-over body ache, or swinging from one symptom to its opposite for no apparent reason.

Emotionally it is a struggle for many too (I have some affordable resources that are the best help you can get with this) - increased fear and anxiety, agitation, feeling easily irritated or provoked,...

Before I share with you my essential oil detox blends, I just wanted to emphasize that as powerful as essential oils are, they cannot work miracles. They are not a substitute for a good diet, adequate sleep, clean lifestyle, physical activity, etc. In my approach to autoimmunity (and health overall), I combine nutrition, mind-transforming modalities, herbal medicine, bioenergetics (incl. energetic medicines), and essential oils. It is this truly holistic approach that produces the amazing results I get with my clients. I am sure you can appreciate that when you integrate essential oils with other modalities that promote healing, you will have a much greater impact, compared to looking at essential oils as that one-stop solution to all your health problems.

Some safety tips - THIS IS IMPORTANT!

1. These days, many people claim to be experts on essential oils but the truth is that many blogs that offer advice on essential oils are not written by qualified practitioners. Be careful as...

There is no one thing that is going to make your system virus-proof. It is really a combination of strategies that is going to do it. Again, what I am sharing here is worth saving for reference purposes because one thing I can guarantee is that Covid -19 is not the last health crisis we are going to see.

None of what I am sharing here is a direct recommendation or is designed to replace medical advice of any kind. I am sharing with you what I do and how I approach my own and my family's immunity based on my 20+ years of study and experience of natural medicine. You have to decide for yourself if this is right for you or not.

Before I even go any further, please remember that the more fear and stress you introduce into the equation, the more suppression you cause within your immune system, which makes you more defenseless should you get infected. This is simple psychoneuroimmunology. So keeping calm and trusting your body knows how to deal with a virus (or any other infection) is...

You can read part 1 of this article here.

Foods, supplements and botanicals that can help you make your body a hostile environment for viruses include:  

Antiviral foods – raw garlic, onion, leek, ginger, broccoli sprouts, reishi and shiitake mushrooms, green tea, cinnamon, clove, oregano, thyme, bitter melon, stevia.

Botanicals (I recommend taking a mix of 2 or 3 of these preventatively and rotating every 4-6 weeks) - cistus (Cistus incanus), olive leaf (Olea europea), echinacea (Echinacea purpurea), goldenseal (Hydrastis canadensis), elderberry (Sambucus nigra), Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica), astragalus (Astragalus membranaceus), cat’s claw (Uncaria tomentosa), mullein (Verbascum thapsus), Chinese skullcup (Scutellaria barbata), Pau d’arco (Tabebuia impetiginosa), St John’s Wort (Hypericum perforatum), Stinging Nettle (Urtica dioica).

Vitamins, minerals and other supplements – vitamin C (liposomal or at least whole food), methylated B...

Have you ever asked yourself a question: why our bodies break down over time? The reason this breakdown occurs is actually very simple: the body stops responding to instructions from the genes because the right communication depends on having healthy cells in every tissue, organ and system of the body. This communication ensures that messages are delivered and received to modulate cell production, initiate and sustain cell repair, and perform other restorative processes.

For example, if the heart cells do not get the right messages, they simply cannot carry out the genetic instructions to keep the heart functioning well. So our health depends on turning on the genes that communicate messages to the cells so that the cells can perform their functions. The molecules involved in this communication are called cell signaling molecules.

Cell signaling in the body stimulates the pathways for gene expression. These are genetic pathways that carry life-sustaining instructions from the genes...

The first blog in this series that I published back in February was very popular so below are some more great insights from our speakers. There is of course a lot more of those golden nuggets of information to come in Part 2 of the Autoimmune Vitality Series so make sure you add those dates to your diary.

Tissue Repair & Restoring Immune Tolerance (May 21 - 28, 2018)

Click here for the event agenda.

So here you are:

Watch out for magnesium stearate in supplements and medications as many people with autoimmunity are sensitive to it. Magnesium stearate does nothing for the human body nutritionally and it is only used for a manufacturer convenience (it is a synthetic cheap filler). Vegetarian sources of stearic acid (part of magnesium stearate) include cottonseed oil (highly likely to be GM), canola oil (highly likely to be GM), and palm oil (sustainability issue). Remember that everything we consume has to be metabolized and detoxified by the liver, and then assimilated or...
