It is hot outside. Plants such as tomatoes stop growing when it gets to hot. A tomato stops photosynthesis around 83F and coasts. Those days when it's over that, your plants aren't really growing or doing much other than surviving. When it gets to hot, the plant will stop working and try to protect itself by shutting down. Enough shutting down and your harvest disappears.
A solution to this is to put a high sprinkler on your garden or lawn, this will cool it off.

A Look at the Road to Health
And the many systems in your body that play a big role in your health.

Your body is composed of a series of integrated systems—some large (such as your organs, immune system, and hormonal systems) and some small (such as your cellular energy system, the blood/brain barrier, and various enzyme systems). Your body is the sum of those systems and it is only as strong as the weakest of them.

The road to health begins with intestinal cleansing and detoxification—no matter what the disease or problem. Here's why;

We live in a world where heavy metals, prescription medications, environmental chemicals, and antibiotics leach into our food and water supply. With all that going on, it’s no wonder our bodies are fighting to keep clean! This toxic sludge can build up in your system faster than you think, clogging your primary detox systems in the digestive, liver, blood and lymphatic system. And when the body’s natural detoxification pathways are disrupted, your hormonal balance and overall feeling of wellness can be quickly degraded.

Intestinal Cleansing - cleansing the elimination channel is fundamental. Many diseases that at first glance appear to have no connection to the digestive tract - have actually been related to functional bowel disorder - these include: Diabetes, gallstones, kidney stones, gout, hypertension, varicose veins, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis and obesity.

Probiotics - a result of chlorinated/fluoridated/treated water, antibiotics - pesticides in our food - to get relief from disease we need to rebuild. Intestinal bowel disorders, or IBDs, including Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, diverticulosis, diverticulitis, and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) are on the rise. Research shows that these conditions often display a reduction in symptoms from probiotic supplementation that contains bifidobacteria and lactobacilli.
Specialists are now studying the link between mental health and gut health, and the gut is referred to as the “second brain” because we have more nerve cells in our bowel than in our spine and our brain. It truly has a great impact on how the rest of your body functions.

In a study of 34 women with chronic constipation, UK investigators linked emotional distress with changes in the nerve pathway that help control gut function. Many Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease patients suffer from constipation. Antibiotics, which kill the ‘good bacteria’ in the digestive tract, have been associated with attention deficit disorder in children. The stomach is loaded with the neurotransmitter serotonin, key to healthy mood. These are just a few of the links between the brain and the digestive system. So the message is if we take care of our bellies, our bellies will take care of us. We will have better digestion improved mood, improved sleep and ability to deal with stress, and more.

Enzymes = Life. We don't get enough live enzymes in the typical American diet as a result we could have an enlarged pancreas by the age of 40. Proper function of the human body is dependent on the continuous activity of thousands of different enzymes. Enzymes can be extremely sensitive, and many can only exert their effects within narrow environmental conditions. Small changes in factors such as pH or temperature can cause enzymes to be destroyed lose their structure. Due to the thousands of important roles enzymes play in normal body activity, insufficient production can severely impact overall health. Dr. Christopher's Pancreas Formula was designed to heal and nourish and support the pancreas.
Hanna Kroeger's Pancreas Formula

Diet - every cell, system and organ in our body is produced by the food we eat....

Vitamins, Minerals and Phytochemicals

Herbs - the greatest herbalist can cure cancer.

Free Radicals and Antioxidants - Scientists know that free radicals play a major role in the aging process as well as the oneset of cancer, heart disease, stroke, arthritis and allergies and a host of other ailments.

Hormone Balance - chemicals we are exposed to daily destroy the hormone balance of our bodies. While women’s hormonal balance is more overt, subtle changes in the endocrine system in men can cause a variety of conditions such as hot flashes, psychogenic changes, bone mineral loss, decreased libido and/or sexual function, weight gain, depression and other symptoms identical to the female menopause.

Water - many Americans drink tap water that is polluted with feces, radiation and other contaminates. Half Americans drink water that has been used before at least once.

Your mouth - Changes in color or texture can signal that all's not well with your anatomy. People with serious gum disease were 40% more likely to have a chronic condition on top of it. Bacteria that builds up on teeth make gums prone to infection. The immune system moves in to attack the infection and the gums become inflamed. The inflammation continues unless the infection is brought under control. The working relationship between diabetes and periodontitis may be the strongest of all the connections between the mouth and body. Inflammation that starts in the mouth seems to weaken the body’s ability to control blood sugar. People with diabetes have trouble processing sugar because of a lack of insulin, the hormone that converts sugar into energy.

The theory is that inflammation in the mouth causes inflammation in the blood vessels. This can increase the risk for heart attack in a number of ways. Inflamed blood vessels allow less blood to travel between the heart and the rest of the body, raising blood pressure. There’s also a greater risk that fatty plaque will break off the wall of a blood vessel and travel to the heart or the brain, causing a heart attack or stroke.

Rheumatoid Arthritis. Treating periodontal disease has been shown to reduce pain caused by rheumatoid arthritis.

Lung Conditions. Periodontal disease may make pneumonia and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease worse, possibly by increasing the amount of bacteria in the lungs.

Obesity. Two studies have linked obesity to gum disease. It appears that periodontitis progresses more quickly in the presence of higher body fat.

Apply one drop of Tea Tree to your tooth brush and your regular tooth paste and brush. you won't believe the overall difference it will make.

Cleanse your Liver and Blood - the liver is the primary filter. It can be abused and so over taxed that illness will result. Our blood is filled with lots of impurities including artificial fats to toxic heavy metals. These must be removed for optimal health.

Immune System - the most awesome system! Easily rivaling your brain in how complex. One can of pop can depress your Immune system by 50% for 6 hours.

Thought - What we think affects our health. Dr. Christopher said " Most people need a colonic between the ears"

Exercise - to improve the health of your heart, build bones, and speed the elimination of toxins.

Energy - all life is energy change your body with the right frequencies and you prevent disease and cancer.

Your body is designed to be healthy. It has intelligent, built-in mechanisms to repair damage, optimize performance, and keep you going.

To renew your Health you could consider:

Many people think of detoxification as something we only need to do to get rid of unusual or excess toxins in the body, but the truth is, we do it all the time. Every time you exhale, every time you urinate or move your bowels, you’re detoxing — because the wastes you eliminate and the air you exhale include many of those molecules that your body is trying to get rid of. The liver, kidneys, spleen, and lymphatic system all target the waste and toxins that otherwise would build up in our tissues. Even when we cry we’re detoxing, because emotions, too, can be toxic! We take these forms of detox for granted, never realizing how important they are to our well-being.

To renew health consider removing old fecal matter and waste, removing heavy metals and drug residues that have accumulated. Strengthening your colon muscle so that it works again. Repairing damage such as herniation and inflammation. Eliminate the presence of polyps and other abnormal growths that have been allowed to flourish. Rebuild and replenish various friendly bacteria cultures ideally from mouth to anus.

The presence of Parasites - some symptoms; nervousness, grinding of teeth at night, aches and pains that move from place to place in the body, ulcers and various digestive pain, nausea and diarrhea, itching, acne, foul breath, furred tongue, jaundice, fatigue, menstrual irregularities and insomnia.

Candida The symptoms that accompany Candida yeast infection are: fatigue, feeling of being "drained", pain or swelling in joints, memory problems, depression, and allergies, to name a few. Candida also works to diminish immune function.

Have you heard of the "Spittle Test"? WOW!! It is a quick diagnostic test that you can do at home to check for Candida. Not for the queasy, however, it is quite accurate. Lab tests are expensive and sometimes hard to come by. The test can be done successfully in the morning it will be the most accurate. Found here > > >

Toxic Lymph - the lymph labors quietly in the shadows to clean up the mess made by virtually all the other systems of the body. Widely regarded as a lesser sister to the circulatory system, the lymphatic system is actually a crucial player in your body’s ability to ward off disease and heal from injury.
Lymphatic function supports every other system in the body, including the immune, digestive, detoxification and nervous systems. In fact, many believe that poor lymph health underlies a host of conditions, from cellulite to cancer. We don’t think much about the lymph system until something goes wrong — usually when infection causes a swollen lymph node, or worse, when we develop cancer in a lymph gland, or cancer elsewhere that metastasizes through the lymph vessels.
The reality is that you have twice as much lymph fluid in your body as blood. The lymph continuously bathes each cell and drains away the detritus in a circulatory system powered only by your breathing and movement. If the movement of the lymph stopped entirely you would die in a matter of hours.
Dr. Christopher's Lymphatic Formula - helps to clear toxins from the lymph system

Adding a few drops of System Strengthener to your hands and inhaling to support the lymph.

The foundation to a good healing program begins with the intestinal tract because it takes the greatest abuse, and it impacts every other system of the body. So we begin with Intestinal Cleansing, Detoxifying and Rebuilding.

General Recommendations

A good source of probiotic: look for L.acidophilus and bifidobacteria especially.
For some people a good probiotic formula alone will wake up the colon and get it working again. You need microorganisms flourishing throughout your intestinal tract aiding digestion, absorption and the production of significant amounts of vitamins and enzymes. Antibiotics are indiscriminate bactericides, meaning they kill ALL bacteria, both good and bad, and many of the immediate and long-term side effects are related to this fact, as disrupting your gut flora has a detrimental effect on your overall immune system.

Some benefits of optimizing gut flora include: lower cholesterol, inhibition of cancer, protects against food poisoning, ulcers, lactose intolerance, harmful bacteria, viruses and fungi, candida overgrowth and yeast infections. And a whole range of digestive dysfunction.

The benefits of bifidobacteria: consume old fecal matter, has the ability to remove cancer forming elements, protect against formation of liver, colon and mammary gland tumors.

Fermented vegetables are rich in nutrients, fiber and digestion-enhancing enzymes. They also help the intestinal tract maintain a healthy balance of flora by increasing beneficial bacteria.

A good source of fiber:
Similar to psyllium, the swelling action of Chia in the body helps to cleanse and soothe the colon, and absorb toxins while lubricating and strengthening peristaltic action.
Bananas restore normal bowel function, especially if you have diarrhea. Bananas restore electrolytes and potassium - and a lot of fiber to aid digestion.
Cabbage is a type of fiber that is not digested, so it helps eliminate waste, keeping bowel movements regular. We need 20 - 30 grams of fiber a day are you getting enough?

If a colon cleanse is not completed before attempting other cleanses, the toxins will just be recycled back into the blood.

Most people need a good herbal stimulating activator that provides cleansing, disinfecting and healing.

Caffeine, fried and refined foods, meat sodas and even undigested foods from overeating can become toxic.

Look for ingredients such as; cape aloe, senna, cascara, barberry root bark, ginger, african bird pepper and fennel.

Dr. Christopher has a new Intestinal Sweep excellent for the bowels and Lower Bowel Formula

Herbal Colon Cleanser & Tonic by Grandma's Herb - will detoxify the bowel, tone and strengthen the muscles.

Every 3 months or so you need a strong purifier and intestinal vacuum to help draw old fecal matter off walls and out of any bowel pockets.
Look for ingredients such as; apple fruit pectin, clay (the clay absorbs water and the toxins are drawn and bound to it, then eliminated through the bowel. Many studies have reported that this clay can actually absorb herbicides, pesticides and pathogenic viruses), slippery elm, marshmallow, fennel seed, activated charcoal, psyllium seeds and husks. The mucilaginous properties soften hardened fecal matter for easier removal, help inflammation and irritation.

Detoxification of your Body through Bathing

Essential oils are little miracle workers for both our body and mind. Their scents help to calm, relax and uplift and when applied to our skin they deliver intense healing and protective properties.

Essential oils for Detoxing

Detoxification of your body through bathing is an ancient remedy that anyone can perform in the comfort of their own home. Your skin is known as the third kidney, and toxins are excreted through sweating. A detox bath will assist your body in eliminating toxins, as well as absorbing the minerals and nutrients that are in the water.

Add 2 cups or more (up to 16 lbs) of Epsom Salts, aka magnesium sulphate. Athletes will often bathe in Epsom salts after a long workout. The salts help to remove the buildup of lactic acid from the muscles and speed up recovery. The natural elements in the Epsom salts are powerful.

Add 1 to 2 cups or more of Baking Soda, aka sodium bicarbonate. This is said to help eliminate the chlorine in the water, as well as soften the water, and help the body to absorb the magnesium.

Ground ginger, or fresh ginger tea both work quite well. The ginger is heating to the body and may cause your skin to turn slightly red for a few minutes, so be careful with the amount you add. Depending on the capacity of your tub, and your sensitivity, anywhere from 1 tablespoon to 1/3 cup can be added. Most people sweat profusely with the addition of the ginger, and if you wrap your body in a blanket immediately after getting out of the tub, you can continue to detoxify through perspiration for another couple of hours. This is especially beneficial if you are trying to rid the body of a bug of some sort, like the flu, or a cold.

Add aromatherapy oils; this is optional, but there are many oils that will help the bath to be a pleasant and relaxing experience, around 20 drops is sufficient.

Consider the following

Basil to give you a lift by stimulating and energizing you.

Chamomile to relax you by soothing and calming you.

Clary sage to relax you by inducing a sense of well-being and strength.

Lavender to help you unwind by relieving both your body tension and any aches and pains.

Lemon grass to leave you uplifted and energized after that long day by relieving aches and pains.

Peppermint to refresh and revive you by also relieving aches and pains.

Rose geranium to relax you with its nurturing effect.

Rosemary to revive and stimulate you by deep cleansing and improving your circulation.

How to use Essential Oils for Boosting your Energy

There are many ways to use essential oils to boost energy levels, but the best are the inhalation methods. You can use either individual oils, or a prepared blend (using the suggestions in the descriptions) in any of these methods.

Basil: Basil oil stimulates the adrenal glands, relieves mental fatigue, and clears the mind. It blends well with lime, spearmint and rosemary. CAUTION: Basil should not be used by pregnant women.

Ginger: Ginger essential oil has an invigorating effect on the nerves, and is especially useful if you’re short on sleep. It blends well with lime.

Lime: Lime essential oil is a restorative and tonic, and is excellent if you’re having trouble concentrating after long hours of work or studying. It blends well with basil, ginger, and rosemary.

Mint (Peppermint or Spearmint): The mints have similar effects, but spearmint is milder, and therefore safer to use with children. They have a stimulant action, as well as calming and soothing the nerves. Peppermint essential oil blends well with rosemary and spearmint; while spearmint essential oil blends well with basil, rosemary, and peppermint.

Rosemary: Rosemary essential oil is a stimulant, and is excellent for use in mental fatigue, low energy, and nervous exhaustion. It blends well with basil, lime, and both mints.

To stimulate the mind:
Use 6 drops of either lemon, orange or peppermint,
3 drops of either anise seed, clove or rosemary and
1 drop of either sandalwood or patchouli.

To stimulate the body:
Use 6 drops of petitgrain, peppermint or tea tree,
3 drops of black pepper, juniper or rosemary and
1 drop of rose, patchouli or ginger.

To stimulate the emotions:
Use 6 drops of bergamot or thyme,
3 drops of pine or melissa and
1 drop of rose, sandalwood.

Try guided imagery. To boost energy, take a virtual vacation while sitting at your desk. Close your eyes and breathe deeply. Then imagine a peaceful place. It could be someplace you’ve been before -- the beach or the mountains. Try to fill it out with detail. What does it smell like? Is there a breeze blowing on your face? Imagine you’re walking along a path; the farther you go, the more relaxed you get. Once you feel fully relaxed, gradually ease yourself back into the present. Count to three and open your eyes.

Breathe deeply. Deep breathing can relieve stress when you’re feeling burned out. Sit down, keeping your back straight. Inhale through the nose while you count to four. Hold your breath while you count to seven. Then exhale deeply through the mouth, counting to eight. Repeat the cycle.

The Many Uses Of Tea Tree Essential Oil

Tea tree It can be mixed with water, shaken well, and sprayed on surfaces to clean and disinfect; or sprayed on carpets, mattresses, and upholstery to get rid of bedbugs, mites, and fleas (for this last, a 50/50 mix of lavender and tea tree oils will work best.)

Tea tree essential oil has anti-bacterial, anti-viral, and anti-fungal properties, as well as the ability to stimulate the immune system and eliminate external parasites such as lice and the mites that cause scabies. Studies have indicated that tea tree oil is an excellent disinfectant, and kills more germs than the disinfectants used in hospitals. It can be used in skin care, hair care, and household cleaning, and will even prevent mildew and remove mold.

Athlete’s foot: A foot bath containing one cup of epsom salt and 10 drops of tea tree oil will stop an early infection of athlete’s foot in its tracks, and repeating weekly will prevent it from coming back. For more established infections, blend 1 oz. of coconut oil with 1/4 oz of tea tree oil, and follow the foot bath by applying this twice a day for about 4 weeks.

Toenail fungus: Using a clean cotton swab, apply a drop of pure tea tree oil to the infected toenail(s) twice daily.

Cold sores: Mix 1 tablespoon of olive or coconut oil with 5 drops of tea tree oil, dip a clean cotton swab in the mixture, and apply directly to the cold sore. Store the remaining mixture in a tightly sealed glass container, and reapply several times a day until the sore is gone. Beginning this treatment at the first tingling sensation that indicates a cold sore is starting will prevent it from even getting bad enough to hurt or scab over.
Dandruff Using a 5% tea tree oil shampoo has been shown to reduce or eliminate mild to moderate dandruff with regular use. You can make your own, by adding 40 drops of tea tree oil for each ounce of shampoo base and shake well before each use.

Acne: Mix 40 drops of tea tree oil with 1 oz of coconut oil in a glass container with a tight fitting lid. Apply lightly to the acne twice a day after cleansing. (Keep well away from the eyes, and test the mixture on the inside of your forearm, waiting for at least 24 hours to make sure there is no reaction before using it on your face.)

Cleaning and disinfecting counters, tubs, and tile: Mix 2 teaspoons of tea tree oil with a bit over 1 gallon of water. Mix well, and use to wipe down kitchen counters, tables, bathtubs, tile and floors. (Remix frequently, since the oil and water will separate pretty quickly)

Removing mold and mildew: Add 2 teaspoons of tea tree oil to 2 cups of water in a spray bottle. Shake well and spray on the moldy areas, then wipe away the mold. For heavier mold, or for mildew, you may need to use one of the sponges with the scrubber side to loosen it before wiping it away.

Laundry Add 2 teaspoons of tea tree oil to a regular load of laundry to freshen and disinfect. For bedbug or mite infestations, using very hot water with the oil to wash your bedding will kill the pests.
