Re: Why i take supplements
Hi Kathy!
No, I don't take TUMERIC. Whenever possible I would add the
spice to what I'm cooking (which admittedly is kind of not
happening).
When I google/goggle any supplement alllll the webmd and
other medical sites tell you not to take supplements as there
is not enough known, blah, blah. I've been encountering this
for decades! It infuriates me. Just saying.
Without my longgg list of supplements, meditating daily, talking to my body and instructing it to keep me HEALTHY AND WELL, NO MORE CANCER several times throughout the day -- I would not be where I am. It's just foolhardy to tell me that I am a miracle (as my docs do consistently) and not investigate why this miracle occurred. I do believe it's far more than luck. It's resolve, unflinching determination, remaining open to offering and accepting LOVE and kindness, compassion and understanding. Seeking to be strong and brave.
I've always seen myself as being on a path, and through the 10 yrs of chemo and all that entails I would always summon the strength for that victory lap...
Livestrong has some good advice I find.
Check out this article.
Recommended Dosages for Turmeric | LIVESTRONG.COM
Tumeric's anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant properties
make it a great candidate for helping a variety of diseases.
Dr. Christiane Northrup (WOMEN'S BODIES, WOMEN'S
WISDOM) says -- THE ROOT OF ALL BODILY DYSFUNCTION
IS -- INFLAMMATION.
I believe this!!!
And, I view cancer as a bodily dysfunction (vs a thing to
reviled and hated).
To me, negative energy is of absolutely no use in working
toward to becoming victorious, or in any endeavor or challenge
we wish to undertake.
Hugs,
Andi
