A new study just released at the American Stroke Association’s International Stroke Conference concludes that there could be some very negative consequences associated with artificial sugar substitutes, including aspartame. One of the major risks is a much higher risk of strokes. Researchers concluded, “This study suggests that diet soda is not an optimal substitute for sugar-sweetened beverages, and may be associated with a greater risk of stroke, myocardial infarction, or vascular death than regular soda." |

Are Your Symptoms Linked to Aspartame? |
|||||||||||||||||||||||
| Most people don’t make the connection between aspartame ingestion and their physical symptoms. They spend countless amounts of money and time chasing their symptoms with no positive result. They often resort to over-the-counter or prescription drugs to combat their symptoms. These drugs bring their own set of symptoms to the problem. Here is something you can try to detect if your symptoms are linked to artificial sweetener ingestion. There are plenty of alternatives to drinking diet soda. There is no substitute for a good glass of water! Other choices include herbal teas, (sweetened with agave or honey), and fruit and/or vegetable juices. Hydrating your body is a vital part of our physiology, but poisoning your body with artificially sweetened beverages is just plain self-destructive. |

Resonance physical, emotional, spiritual Application LeAcknowledge should be applied over the liver when the liver is toxic and the mind and emotions are sluggish or slow. Other particularly effective places for application are behind the ears, on the face, neck, thymus, or wrists. I especially like applying oils to the wrists because I frequently wave my wrists in front of my face for one reason or another. Aromatic Considerations This blend has a pleasant enough aroma to be worn as a perfume and is especially nice used in a bath when one is feeling overwhelmed or discouraged by life. The aroma of this blend can promote feelings of calmness, courage, and increased self-confidence. Emotional/Spiritual Aspects LeAcknowledge nourishes and strengthens the nervous system, helping to quiet feelings of fear and discouragement. Another benefit of this blend is in enabling us to see the ‘reality’ of life or health situations. Accepting what will be or will not be in our lives can allow us to move forward with healing and peace instead of discouragement and despair. Recognizing what it is that we are feeling, and knowing that it is acceptable to feel that way for the moment, often allows us to move through that feeling and move on with our lives. LeAcknowledge may also give us increased confidence in social situations and enhanced creativity in our attitudes and skills. One aspect of this blend concerns a better balance in attitudes and desires in sexual matters. LeAcknowledge is also one of the great oils for depression. Because it balances the heart and sacral chakras, LeAcknowledge can help us recognize and accept the love and sympathy that people around us are trying to express. For those of us with very independent natures, it may help us with the ability to let others be of service to us. Increased balance in the throat chakra allows us to express our own feelings and needs and to express feelings of appreciation and gratitude for the services we receive. Balance in these areas may also bring relief from feelings of frustration, self-pity, insecurity, hopelessness, inadequacy and feeling that we are being overwhelmed by the responsibilities of our lives. This allows us to feel enthusiasm for new things and to expect to find joy and abundance in our lives. LeAcknowledge, like LeBountiful, may change the way that we feel toward material possessions, making us both more appreciative of them and less focused on their acquisition. Physical Aspects Because LeAcknowledge has a cleansing effect on the liver it may be useful for allergies and other mild immune system dysfunctions. Any ailment that has anger as an underlying emotional component, which many physical ailments do, would benefit from the use of LeAcknowledge. Kidney and bladder problems such as frequent infections and cystitis, with their emotional connection to fear and feelings of inadequacy, often respond favorably to this blend. The use of this essential oil blend may not only relieve the discomfort of the moment, but will also help lessen the likelihood and frequency of future attacks. LeAcknowledge is an excellent oil when applied as a deodorant and is considered a mild hormone balancer. |

Application Coriander should be diluted well and applied as needed. Aromatic Considerations The aroma of coriander is like taking a deep breath—breathing out the old ideas, breathing in a new perspective. Emotional/Spiritual Aspects Coriander combines a warm, woodsy serenity with the peppery stimulation of a fire meridian remedy. This essential oil is especially appropriate for creative individuals who struggle when locked into situations of predictability and routine. While they need stability and emotional security, they seek these things through passionate involvement with people and causes and not through fear or selfprotection. Coriander refreshes and revives our spirits. It can be helpful in overcoming fear of failure or fear of making decisions.

Coriander comes from the seeds of the plant we know as cilantro. Cautions Coriander should be used in small quantities and for short periods of time. Over use of this oil can result in a cloudy or stupefied feeling.

Why Not Plant a Garden?
Health Tip: Sharon Moran |
||||
|
|
||||
|
As winter slowly loses its grip on the land, why not turn your mind to planning a garden this year? If you have never planted a garden, the advantages are endless. Growing your own fruits and vegetables can help you maximize the potential health benefit your body gets from your produce.
|
 |
|||
|
||||
|
By harvesting your crops just before consumption, you can be guaranteed that your produce is as fresh as possible and full of vitamins and minerals. Plus, you can’t beat the wonderful taste and flavor of home grown produce. The satisfaction of eating the fruits of your own labor is unequalled.
