Hey there Friends,

It has been a moment since we have connected. I have been on a bit of a hiatus, dibbling and dabbling in the realms of unconscious living for about 2.5 months and I have to tell you that I am paying the piper for it. OK... LESSON LEARNED.... AGAIN!

Coming back however, I have discovered quite a bit about myself, hence the retitle of my blog page. There is still much to share about my journey of how I overcame cervical cancer, and much of it has to do with my personal development.

It is my belief that cancer is a dis-ease of emotion (e-motion / energy - in motion) and it is through my authentic journey that I want to share this.

Ok... I gotta run now, but I will be back at 'cha. Same time, same station. Until then, enjoy your day and...
I will see you on the other side of greatness!

Ciao! 

ReEmergence

Hey Friends,

I know it has been a while since I have posted anything here. I just got caught up in a moment of some unconscious living for about 2.5 months. It was fun for a moment, but I have to tell you that I am paying the piper for my decision(s).

One thing I have come to learn over this bit of time is that sometimes, love really isn't enough, at least when it comes to making a decision to create a life with someone. This is another blog... we'll get to that at a later date.

One thing is that I am revamping my blog(s). There is so much I want to express / share. More than just wellness / health information on cervical cancer. I believe that much of what I have to say can help shed a light on many facets of why to approach health and healing from a WHOLE(listic) stand point.

Well, friends... there is much to share and as time goes on, I'm looking forward to sharing my journey with you.

The Not So Sexy Seduction of Sweeteners

Ok, so here we go again. I try to not let other people’s issues be my issues, but this is an ongoing work in progress for me. I guess someone has to care. Why not me?

I was speaking to a lady the other day and she was explaining to me that she is diabetic with high blood pressure. Looking at her eyes I could also see a propensity for heart dis-ease and with her extended abdomen, all I could think was - CLEANSE!

As we got wrapped up in conversation she asked me what I did for a living. I told her that I’m a naturopathic wellness coach and author and then shared with her my story of overcoming advanced cervical cancer without surgery, drugs, radiation or chemotherapy. Well, as per usual, that opened up a flood of questions. She was very interested to learn about my diet.

Now I have to digress for a moment. Whenever I get someone that asks about my diet and I begin to share with them my eating habits, it almost never fails that their response is, Oh my diet is healthy too! Of course with a little probing the truth always comes to the light. My inquisitive new friend shared with me how she takes time to make sure the foods she eats do not contain sugar. Her doctor told her that it would be better for her to use artificial sweeteners in lieu of her sugar addiction and this would also help her to lose weight. I tell you… it boggles my mind. Clearly some of our medical professionals are trapped in their ignorance, or they are just really in it for the money.

What you will find in a great majority of these artificial sweeteners is this little thing call aspartame, however, this little thing packs a deadly punch! Aspartame, also known as NutraSweet® has a very interesting checkered past. The FDA had received numerous research reports of the chemical effects this drug was having on the neuropathy of the laboratory animals. The reports were highly unfavorable, yet the FDA pushed it through anyway. Mind you that aspartame is not allowed in any of our neighboring countries. Here’s a little history for you:

Aspartame is the technical name for the brand names NutraSweet, Equal, Spoonful, and Equal-Measure. It was discovered by accident in 1965 when James Schlatter, a chemist of G.D. Searle Company, was testing an anti-ulcer drug. Aspartame was approved for dry goods in 1981 and for carbonated beverages in 1983. It was originally approved for dry goods on July 26, 1974, but objections filed by neuroscience researcher Dr John W. Olney and Consumer attorney James Turner in August 1974 as well as investigations of G.D. Searle's research practices caused the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to put approval of aspartame on hold (December 5, 1974). In 1985, Monsanto purchased G.D. Searle and made Searle Pharmaceuticals and The NutraSweet Company separate subsidiaries.

Aspartame accounts for over 75 percent of the adverse reactions to food additives reported to the FDA. Many of these reactions are very serious including seizures and death. A few of the 90 different documented symptoms listed in the report as being caused by aspartame include: Headaches/migraines, dizziness, seizures, nausea, numbness, muscle spasms, weight gain, rashes, depression, fatigue, irritability, tachycardia, insomnia, vision problems, hearing loss, heart palpitations, breathing difficulties, anxiety attacks, slurred speech, loss of taste, tinnitus, vertigo, memory loss, and joint pain.

So it has been approved by the FDA and the doctors say, Sure take it, it’s ok, it doesn’t mean for you to give your power away [again] and just go for the first little blue pack so seductive sweetness you see.

There is a wonderful documentary I just reviewed called Sweet Misery. Check out the trailer on YouTube:

So MadSexy, why isn’t this public knowledge?
Well, actually it is public knowledge. Anyone can get this information, but few will do the necessary research to find it. My grandmother use to tell say to me, Baby if you ever what to hide anything important, put it in plain view or put it in a book.

We have all the information we could ever want right at our finger tips, yet people for the most part are spoiled and lazy. Unless there is drama attached to it, the attitude is like, Who cares?

Aspartame caused diseases are not headlined in the metro section of your daily newspapers like last night’s American Idol winner. This is because these incidents occur one at a time in thousands of different locations across the United States. Incidents such as: Birth Defects / Cancer (Brain Cancer) / Diabetes / Emotional Disorders / Epilepsy / Seizures, just to name a few, just don’t line the pockets of the FDA and their affiliate very well. It’s better to just keep you barefoot and ignorant.

Then there are those people that have been drinking diet soda and indulging in other no-sugar, low-sugar, sugar substitute foods so long that they do not associate their symptoms with the long-term use of aspartame. This includes those that are sadly dealing with neurological disorders that have destroyed a significant number of brain cells causing chronic illness (Alzheimer’s / Dementia / Schizophrenia / etc.)

If you drink diet sodas, if you eat or drink anything with any type of artificial sweetener and you are experiencing headaches, digestive issues, dizziness, weight gain, depression, mood swings, skin breakouts, joint pain, weakness, lethargy or anything that is substandard of feeling sexy, seriously… ixnay the substitutes.

As for my diabetic friend, she informed me that she will consult with her doctor to maybe cut down her consumption of NutraSweet. She finished off our conversation my saying, “Maybe the doctor could up my insulin.”

And the beat goes on….

The Sexy Side to Natural Body Sculpting: Internal Cleansing for Toning and Weight Loss (with the Added Benefit of Healing)

When I look at all the beautiful glossy magazines I am amazed by the plastic surgeon advertisements for breast augmentations, tummy tucks, face lifts, butt lifts, rhinoplasty and vagina rejuvenation – YES, they will even nip, cut and tuck your vajaja to make it pretty!

In these expensive glossy, flossy ads every body looks absolutely fabulous – smooth, curvaceous, sexy! Now, what they don’t show you are the bruising, sores, stitching, scar tissue, etc., etc., etc… They also don’t mention the costs. But who cares? All you know is that you want that and you want it NOW!

Humans - we are so shallow in our knowing and subvain in our perceptions. It’s only because we don’t know what we don’t know.

There is a way to get that look (and feel) of sexy, come hither, don’t hate me ‘cause I’m beautiful, glowing, slimming, ultra fabulous image – naturally. And here’s the bonus – the health and wellness benefits can be life saving.

There is a sexy side to internal cleansing. Colon Hydrotherapy is a process of irrigating the large intestinal system with warm purified water. The therapy is simple, timely and financially advantageous (compare 2 weeks down time + $6,500 or more vs. 30 minutes + $75/ session), clean, odorless, and can also be very relaxing. You can find a colon hydrotherapist in your area by logging onto www.i-act.org.

Now you have a choice, you can either go to a Colon Hydrotherapist or you can invest in your own personal and portable colon hydrotherapy unit to experience cleansing in your home. What you would pay for a year series of colon hydrotherapy, you could have in your home at your convenience. There are so many options available. I just purchased a portable home unit that I love!! It packs up and goes where I go (no pun intended). To get more information about this unit, log onto my website at www.madisoncarlista.com

You want me to stick what where??? Yes, I know this topic may cause you to giggle and squirm, after all, it involves a part of the human anatomy that most people are embarrassed to speak of. I tell you this though; I have been doing colon hydrotherapy for myself for over 11 years and I personally have witnessed dynamic shifts in my physiology. I have gone from 35% body fat to 18% (145lbs to 127lbs). The dimpling in my thighs and buttocks has smoothed and my skin glows with a youthful vitality. As a matter of fact, I don’t wear make-up at all. Oh and my libido is off the rector scale!

Colon Hydrotherapy is a very simple process that only takes about 30-45 minutes. You can typically continue on with your day as usual. The process is clean, odorless also very dignified. When you choose to work with an I-ACT certified colon hydrotherapist, you are almost assured to have an awesome and very informative experience.

Here’s something else to share with you. I’m a cancer survivor. I was diagnosed with cervical cancer and given a prognosis of 3-6 months. This was 9 years ago. Of course, my doctors wanted me to have surgery to remove as much of the infection as possible and follow-up with radiation and/or chemotherapy. Oh, and by the way, if I were to hemorrhage on the operating table, they would just do a complete hysterectomy.

With the choice not to do any of the conventional therapy options I was offered, I chose internal cleansing, juicing, nutraceuticals and took responsibility for my health. Well, needless to say, I’m still here! The cancer they initially found was the size of a grapefruit. After 10 months of my holistic healing therapies that infection had gone down to the size of a lima bean and the cysts that were on my ovaries were all gone! The body has the ability to cure and heal itself, but it needs to be facilitated with the right environment in order to do so.

Along with the healing, everyone noticed that difference in my skin. It glowed! I lost a great deal of body fat which showed off the muscle tone, even revealing a pack of abs! The texture of my thighs and buttocks were like that of my teenage / early 20s era.

Even today, I still give myself a colon hydrotherapy treatment at least every other week. It really keeps my body toned and tight and makes my skin look flawless. No tele-tubby tummy here!

Whether you are looking to tighten and tone your body, clear your skin of breakouts and eruptions, or support your body in healing. Do your research and consider natural alternative healing therapies. Consider colonics! So much can be accomplished with internal cleansing.
