Hering’s Law of Cure is the basis of all healing.

This is the way the body heals or cures itself. Consider this: All cure starts from within out, from the head down and in reverse order as the symptoms have appeared or been suppressed. We don’t catch diseases, we create them by breaking down the natural defenses according to the way we eat, drink, think and live.

The definition of Hering’s Law of Cure is as follows: “We heal from the head down, we heal from within out.”

This means we must allow the body to cleanse. In order for the body to eliminate toxins it must be allowed to do so by not suppressing any kind of discharge. Most over-the-counter medications and prescriptions do suppress discharges. This is not good as these toxins can go deeper into the body and create other weaknesses. The body must be allowed to cleanse itself in whatever manner it needs to without interruption by synthetic suppressive substances.

“We heal in reverse order as the symptoms have appeared or been suppressed”. This means that most of the time the last problem someone has is the first problem to be dealt with by the body in the reversal process. For instance, let’s say the last illness you had was a sinus infection and a suppressive medication was used to stop any sneezing, coughing, dripping nose or sinus drainage.
In order for the body to heal itself it must eliminate these toxins and mucous that were suppressed at this time. Since this was the last illness it is the easiest for the body to heal. The body may stimulate the Immune System to create a fever to burn out the toxins, the toxins may be eliminated through the Lungs or Bronchioles causing a large amount of phlegm to exit these areas, it might eliminate them through the skin causing breakouts or it could eliminate them through the Colon in which case mucous, old feces and food that hasn’t been eaten for quite a while may be eliminated. These are just a few ways the body heals itself.

Unfortunately, Hering’s Law of Cure is not used today in Orthodox medicine. Orthodox medicine generally believes that because the symptoms are suppressed the problem is cured, or by removing the organ, which is not functioning correctly, it can cure the problem. Perhaps this is why no one knows what a “cold” is today. A “cold” is the body’s way of eliminating toxins, which it does by increasing the mucous from the mucous membranes in order to free the toxins. Toxin elimination is imperative in order for the body to stay healthy. Disease reversal is also imperative in order for the body to “cure” a disease.

Things to consider with Hering’s Law of Cure:

• Symptoms of a chronic disease disappear in definite order, going in reverse and taking about one month for every year the symptoms have been present.
• Symptoms move from the more vital organs to the less vital organs; from the interior of the body towards the skin.
• Symptoms move from the top of the body downward.
• This means that before we can even begin to heal we must believe we can heal. We must be mentally prepared and strong in order to allow the body to heal. We must not doubt the body’s ability to heal itself.
• Hering’s Law is a very important law to understand and remember. It is imperative to follow this law in order to allow the body to eliminate toxins created daily.

Always remember, “We don’t catch diseases, we create them by breaking down the natural defenses according to the way we eat, drink, think and live.”

Before you go to reheat something in the microwave, take a look at these 10 facts…

We can no longer ignore the dangers of the microwave sitting in our kitchens. Many research has been done through Swiss, Russian, and German scientific clinical studies proving to the immediate dangers of these appliances.

Here are 10 Reasons (based on the alarming research) to Throw Out Your Microwave Oven:
  1. Continually eating food processed from a microwave oven causes long term – permanent brain damage by “shorting out” electrical impulses in the brain (de-polarizing or de-magnetizing the brain tissue)
  2. The human body cannot metabolize (break down) the unknown by-products created in microwaved food.
  3. Male and female hormone production is shut down and/or altered by continually eating microwaved foods.
  4. The effects of microwaved food by-products are residual (long-term, permanent) within the human body.
  5. Minerals, vitamins, and nutrients of all microwaved food is reduced or altered so that the human body gets little or no benefit, or the human body absorbs altered compounds that cannot be broken down.
  6. The minerals in vegetables are altered into cancerous free radicals when cooked in microwave ovens.
  7. Microwaved foods cause stomach and intestinal cancerous growths (tumors). This may explain the rapidly increased rate of colon cancer in America.
  8. The prolonged eating of microwaved foods causes cancerous cells to increase in human blood.
  9. Continual ingestion of microwaved food causes immune system deficiencies through lymph gland and blood serum alterations.
  10. Eating microwaved food causes loss of memory, concentration, emotional instability, and a decrease of intelligence.

So what are you waiting for? Go toss out that microwave oven right out!

Let me talk to you about Meridian Autonomic Testing!

‘I’ve heard people talking about Meridian Autonomic Testing, but don’t really understand what it is…’

Meridian Autonomic Testing is a very unique and most importantly, non-invasive, system of evaluating the body in order to determine the underlying causes of health complaints or imbalances.

‘I see, but how is Meridian Autonomic Testing unlike other tests?’

Unlike a blood test or tissue sample, Meridian Autonomic Testing uses your own body’s bio-feedback. This technique analyzes different areas on the surface of the body that relate to the state of health and to the flow of energy in each organ or system.  

‘This all sounds very interesting! Can you explain more about the flow of energy component?’

So as you know, there are certain points on the body that correspond to an organ, tissue, or function. By applying very slight pressure to those points, a practitioner is able gage the effect that energy or lack of energy is having on these specific areas, and in return, help identify exactly what the body needs to obtain balance and optimal health.

‘Okay I see. So what is this type of testing used for?’

There are many reasons to use Meridian Autonomic Testing. This type of test isn’t necessarily used to diagnose or treat disease, but rather to assess your body’s current state of health. Using real food nutrition (meaning safe, natural foods) means we can then help the body repair itself attain more optimum individualized health.

Interested in learning more about what the test entails and how it might benefit you? Please fill out my Contact Form and I will happily reach out to set something up!

All symptoms are warnings that there is a breakdown in your body. How will you choose to take control of this information and react? 

What is a Stress? 

  • A force that tends to strain or deform 
  • A physical, chemical, or emotional factor that causes bodily or mental tension, and may be a factor in the cause of disease

Identifying The Stressors 

Lets talk about some different stressors in our lives. The past two or so years of unprecedented times added so much stress to our lives, on top of those everyday stressors we were already dealing with. Some possible things that might be stressing you out are: 

  • Work
  • Relationship problems
  • Physical pain
  • Lack of sleep
  • Toxic exposure
  • Chronic illness
  • Physical pain
  • Spinal problems
  • Money
  • Food allergies

These are just the obvious stressors! There are also the stressor like bacteria, parasites, and allergies that we could also unknowingly be impacted by. 

Let’s shift gears now and talk about how the body deals with stress…

We know all that certain organs and glands perform particular functions in the body.  For example, the heart pumps blood through our system, the liver acts as a filter from toxins and waste. 

Whenever your body is under stress, your adrenal glands produce a hormone called Cortisol. 

There are many different hormones in the body that work synergistically together and play a part in over-all health. In fact, we all have a Master hormone which I will refer to as P.

P is considered the master hormone because it converts to most of our other hormones.  On one hand it is converting to Cortisol, but on the other it is converting to another important hormone called DHEA. I like to refer to Cortisol as the bandit of all hormones because it STEALS from the pathway that produce many other hormones. Every time your body is exposed to that stressor, it is demanding cortisol –  it is pulling from our master hormone P to make more C and depleting D. 

The Pillars of Health & Beyond 

  • CHEMICAL – Environmental Pollutants, Toxic Food, Smoke, Heavy Metals, Drugs (pharmaceutical and recreational),  Vaccines, Infections, etc. 
  • PHYSICAL – Fractures, Muscle Injuries, Nerve Compression, etc. 
  • EMOTIONAL/MENTAL – Fear, Excitement, Worry, Anxiety, etc. 
  • SITUATIONAL – Job, Family, Location (factors not easily changed or avoided)

How We React To The Stressors 

What’s important to note is that stress is inevitable. How we REACT to the stressors is what is more important. Here are a few things to consider in regard to those reactions:

  • What We Eat: Simple Carbohydrate ingestion leads to rapid elevations in blood sugar which ultimately leads to ups & downs and irregulation of insulin and cortisol responses.” Too much sugar, processed fats, skipped meals, not enough pure water, etc. 
  • How We Digest:  Overeating, poor digestion, toxin producing bacteria, and yeasts (maldigestion) 
  • How We Assimilate: Decreased absorption, rapid transit time, inflammation, etc
  • How We Eliminate: Constipation, faulty detoxification 
  • What We Do: Occupation, exhaustion, toxic workplace
  • How We Breathe: Shallow breathing, smog, smoke
  • What We Think: How we perceive an event, rather than the even itself, is most important in generating a stress response”. Negative thoughts, attitudes, emotions 
  • What we inherit: Genetic weakness, e.g. adrenal insufficiency, headaches, allergies

KNOWLEDGE IS POWER

  1. Knowledge – Learning about the function of your body

Now that you have more insight on the stress your body endures, we can formulate a plan for how to combat this stress. It’s important to be empowered by this new knowledge and make an action plan with me to determine next steps.

I always tell all of my clients you must become a self nurturer and have some faith and trust in your body’s own ability to heal. That’s when the magic starts!

MASTER YOUR HEALTH

When I first meet with new clients, I have them go through a checklist so I can get a better sense of what wellness journey they want to embark on. Since I have such a plethora of services and topics I discuss, it’s helpful for me to narrow down some of these topics from the beginning.

I wanted to give all of my blog readers a SNEAK PEEK of this checklist, so you get an idea of what I am capable of helping you with! Taking control of your health and wellbeing is the best thing you can do for yourself, and I’d be honored to guide you through your new lifestyle.

Check out the checklist here!

Nutritional “myths” and why following them can be dangerous to your health. One of my favorite topics because these myths can be so detrimental to health and often people have no idea…

  • The truth about cholesterol and saturated fats
  • The truth about soy
  • Is milk or fortified orange juice really a healthy source of calcium?
  • Is there such a thing as too much grain in your diet? 

The “One Size Fits All” approach to nutrition and why it doesn’t work. Everybody is different. Read that again. EveryBODY is different… 

  • Origin of the nutritional technology, known as Metabolic Typing 
  • Eating a primitive diet (closest to how are ancestors ate),  can give us the most health benefits 

Comparison of eating styles & how to make your eating style work for you. Food is fuel. Once you realize that your eating experience changes exponentially.

  • Vegetarian 
  • Vegan (the dangers of eating too much soy)
  • Whole Foods 
  • Metabolic Typing  

Understanding macronutrients – your body’s source of fuel. Do you know what a macronutrient is? Most people don’t. I’m here to change that. 

  • Carbohydrates and their glycemic load
  • Sugar and Artificial Sweeteners
  • The importance of fats
  • The importance of animal protein

10 tips on how to reach your weight loss goals and maintain them for life. Another one of my favorites to work through! 

  • Review of “blocking factors” – what is getting in your way (physical, emotional, mental  – internal and external stress factors).
  • Menu building / how to shop and plan 

Hormones and your health. We all have internal and external stresses in our life. How we overcome these and take control of our hormones is what is available to us. 

  • How to overcome the affects of stress and hormonal imbalance 

Digestion and your health. So important, yet so infrequently talked about. 

  • A review of digestive disorders, how rampant they are, and how you can heal your digestive system.
I hope you found this checklist interesting! If you would like to learn more about any of the above topics, I’d love to hear from you. Simply submit a Contact Form on my website.

September means Self-Care Awareness Month!

Self-care is a hot topic these days as mental health and wellness become more of a prominent focus in society. Everyone has different ideas about what self-care is, and that’s OK considering relaxation can mean something different to everyone. Some of my clients thrive in a relaxing setting, where others experience peak anxiety. For some, the body resting means the brain racing with all of the things they could and should be doing. I’m going to share some of my favorite forms of self-care, so that hopefully you can relax and take advantage of this extra time for yourself, regardless of where you currently fall on the self-care spectrum.

1.) Eat well

Greens, greens & more greens!

I say it time and time again, but so many of our underlying issues stem from our diet and how we take care of our bodies. The idea of self-care simply means taking care of yourself, so next time you find yourself reaching for the bag of chips or your go-to comfort food, attempt to choose one of the healthier options instead. Check out one of my blogs for recipe ideas for juices, smoothies, and other alternative snack options.

Another way to take care of yourself is to limit your alcohol consumption, or opt for less sugary cocktail options.

2.) Exercise 

Move that body of yours! 

How many times have you dreaded starting a workout only to feel like one million bucks after you finished it? Endorphins are SO special. Obviously exercising is beneficial to our overall health, but it’s arguably just as beneficial for your mental state.

Exercise doesn’t need to mean an intense HIIT workout for it to qualify as self-care. Anything you can do to actively move your body will make a huge difference for  – stretch your body, take your dog on a long walk around the neighborhood,

Next time you find yourself stressing over your never ending to-do list, make an effort to exercise. I guarantee you it will clear your head and re-energize you to do whatever it is you need to do.

3.) Sleep 

The key to a well-balanced lifestyle!

We often overlook how truly important sleep is. If we’re not getting enough sleep at night, we’re not able to start the day as our best selves. I recommend following a consistent sleep routine by setting new sleep goals. Getting into bed at the same time every night is a good start. Another pro tip is to replace any electronics before bedtime – try to replace that iPhone with a new hardcover book! Reading is yet another of my favorite self-care methods.

4.) Find a New Hobby

Try new things until something sticks!

As adults, we are often so busy with our everyday lives (work, family, etc.) that we forget to take time to do things that make us HAPPY. It’s so important to take a step back and re-find those hobbies that you once loved, or maybe instead trying something you’ve always wanted to do.

Some hobbies I recommend include yoga, meditation, hiking, cooking, gardening, dancing.

5.) Set Boundaries & Start Saying NO

You don’t have to do everything… 

One way we can practice self-care is by simply saying no to things we DON’T WANT TO DO! Again, as adults we are faced with many obstacles and long lists of things we feel like we ‘should’ do because society says so. Start taking a greater look at the things that fill your cup, instead of drain it.

Feel like you can’t possibly socialize after the long week you had at work? Cancel those plans, draw a bath, and light a candle. You’ll thank yourself the next day.

There are so many ways we can practice self-care, but these are just a few to get you started on your journey to a happier, healthier life. Start showing up for yourself so that you can show up as a greater self for those around you! 

I look forward to hearing your favorite ways that YOU take care of yourself…

How I Helped a Client Take Control of Her Heath: Client Testimonial

I form a special connection with all my clients, but some client stories resonate with me more than others. One in particular was one of my younger patients named Lauren, who came to me two years after giving birth to her first child. Please note, client’s name has been changed to respect her privacy. 

When Lauren sought out my help, she was truly at her wit’s end. Two years post-partum she was struggling with chronic fatigue, depression, weight gain / inability to lose weight, constipation, and digestive issues. After many visits to the doctor to find the root of the problem, she was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s Disease. In general, this means her immune system is attacking the thyroid which in turn results in inflammation leading to excess thyroid hormones, or hyperthyroidism. Over time, this inflammation prevents the thyroid from producing enough hormones, meaning hypothyroidism. Because of this many people, including Lauren, have struggle maintaining a healthy weight.

Following the diagnosis, Lauren was put on thyroid medication and sent on her way, as is the case in many traditional doctor-patient relationships. Unfortunately, Lauren’s various symptoms did not subside with the intake of the medication. Frustrated and determined to find an answer, she continued seeking out medical attention only to be told the same thing by multiple different endocrinologists: “You just aren’t trying hard enough, we’ll increase the dosage of your medication.” This is the terrible reality of many people struggling with health conditions, but fortunately for Lauren my approach turned her life around.

When Lauren came to me and explained everything she had been struggling with, I was shocked that none of the doctors and endocrinologists had investigated it further. Lauren had been struggling with chronic constipation issues for her entire life, never realizing how she was feeling was abnormal.

Today, after working closely with me and taking complete advantage of my services, Lauren is living her happiest and healthiest life. She has replaced her prescription thyroid medication completely with diet and supplements, which gives her the energy she needs to keep up with her energizer-bunny three-year-old all day! In addition, she has lost 40 pounds and has corrected all the digestive issues she came to me with, which makes a huge difference in how she feels.

Unlike her first pregnancy, Lauren didn’t have to worry about the threat of gestational diabetes during her second childbirth. In fact, she went through that pregnancy feeling healthier than ever – a complete difference from the first time around!

“Aubrey’s extensive knowledge and guidance has quite honestly changed my life and I feel more control over my health than I ever have before.”
