We All Lead Toxic Lives

I am just amazed at all the things I have learned and am learning about my body and toxins throughout these past few months. Basically, toxins are why we all get sick and are overweight.

I have learned and am constantly learning new information about things in our everyday life that are dangerous to our health and are making our bodies toxic.

From the moment of conception to your current age, you have been around "stuff" that has gotten into your body (and even your mind) and could possibly causing you to suffer from health problems. Sometimes it's easy to make statements like "A little won't hurt me!" or "Everything's going to kill us some how so what's the big deal?" However, God gave us wisdom to make the right decisions for ourselves and our families.

I am almost certain God planned for us to choose to live a healthy life! In the modern age of convenience, it's true, we simply can not avoid everything, however, there are steps we can take to help our children and family lessen our toxicity in our bodies and live a healthier life.

Always shop in the horseshoe: Try to avoid going down middle aisles at the grocery, that is where the pre-packaged junk resides. Eat vegetables and fruits as much as you can. Also, be aware of hormones and antibiotics in your meats. Also, avoid foods with hydrogenated oils, words with numbers like Polysorbate 8O, MSG, aspartame, sucralose, hydrolyzed yeast extract and Red 40.

I have Hashimoto's Thyroiditis which is a thyroid disease that has caused me to be hypothyroid....my thyroid function is slow. I have Reverse T3 Dominance. A measurement of rT3 is valuable in identifying a Reverse T3 Dominance. But many doctors do not check all the things that they should when it comes to thyroid function. What Causes Reverse T3 Dominance?....Prolonged stress and toxicity are the major causes of reverse T3 dominance.

Over the past year, I have experienced some pretty severe swelling at times. One of the symptoms of an Advanced Level of Toxicity: Having a lymphatic system where the lymphs in your body do a poor job of draining fluids from tissues.

Over the past year, I have also experienced some pretty severe headaches as well. The EMG that I had at the Mayo Clinic showed some abnormal nerves in my head and face. A headache is the body's chief warning signal of body toxicity. The toxic load in the body has increased so fast that poisons are circulating in the bloodstream and cause irritation to the brain and nerves.

Ten weeks ago, I started Goga....Whole Body Vibration. Goga is a lifestyle change that gives you the opportunity to improve your life forever. The Goga machine activates the body through muscle contractions, the circulatory, lymphatic and digestive systems.

I also use a Far Infrared Sauna to help detoxify my body. It helps release toxins, like: heavy metals, chemicals, and plastics that may have accumulated in your body. The sauna's light rays stimulate the body's metabolism. The body burns approximately 300 calories in a 15 minute session.

The third component that is useful to me is the alkaline water. Alkaline water balances the ph levels in the body and helps flush out toxins.

Goga is truly been a lifesaver for me! I have only had two headaches in the past 10 weeks and they have not been as severe. I have lost over 20 pounds and the best news of all is....my eyesight has improved! PRAISE GOD!

I like to write about the lessons God is teaching me along the road of life. You may wonder...why am I making myself so vulnerable? Because God has done so much that I cannot keep quiet. I have to share. Jesus's last words to his desciples were, "Go,tell." We are His disciples too and this is just one of the ways of telling. I like to spread hope and encouragement by sharing my own experiences in order to help others that may be experiencing similar situations.

God’s power is made perfect in weakness. This stirs my heart. Weakness is hard, but weakness doesn’t have to mean defeat. It is my opportunity to experience God’s power firsthand. - Made to Crave: Satisfying Your Deepest Desire with God, Not Food

God....He makes it all an awesome incredible journey. Even when I get down I can't stay down. He carries me....sustains me.....It's the best feeling ever!

Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go” (Joshua 1:9). Through you and me God can touch another, perhaps save a life. The possibilities are endless if you only have the nerve.

Blessings,
Dalinda

  1. Dalinda, thanks for sharing. I just tried "goga" yesterday and am checking w/my massage therapist if it would be okay to do as she is using me as a case study for fibromyalgia and I don't want to mess up her case study. Otherwise, I plan on joining up as soon as I can.
