Global Metamorphosis - A New Way of Living...Out of the Dark Into The Light

My Dear Readers: First and foremost at this challenging time our world has been forced to endure, I pray all of you and your loved ones are staying informed, staying smart and staying safe. What do I mean by that? I am absolutely proud at how some communities, like the one I'm in here in the states that are being very conscious and staying home as we are; we only go out once a week to pick up pre-ordered groceries that are loaded into our car without any personal contact other than for me to say, "Be Safe and Thank You for All You Do." That said, I'm hearing from patients that some of their communities are continuing to open non-essential businesses (beauty salons, nail parlors, etc.) because their particular state or municipality isn't required to "stay at home" by local or U.S. ordinance...what a shock to me that some people are not taking this pandemic seriously.

PLEASE PLEASE stay home unless you are an essential operation. AND...my prayers and heartfelt appreciation to all those on the front lines who have become our "soldiers" in this fight for our lives, literally. In that I include, but is not limited to, all military, civil defenders, health care professionals, truck drivers, delivery personnel, mail and delivery personnel, etc.

I have made the decision to NOT post any more investigative health articles until at least June 1st so that you can all devote your time and energy in staying healthy and getting to KNOW yourselves like never before. Times like these give us the opportunity to "dig" deep into what is important and how to learn to live in a new reality, the likes of which none of us have ever experienced or even dreamed we'd experience. 

For me, it's a time to be thankful and reflective of where my life's turns have taken me and where I will decide what the next chapter of my life will include as I truly believe that we will all look back and believe, "this is the best part of the rest of our lives" and I pray we will all be more tolerant of each other and learn that we truly are all in this together.

A patient sent me the following saying and I slightly adapted for what I hope will shed light on each of you to what awaits at the end of this long dark tunnel:

In this expansive world, we are billions of caterpillars forced into our cocoons; we're being called upon to change from the inside out - our health and consciousness - to metamorphosize, to rest our tired mind, body and spirit from an ever-demanding life, and reflect what wasn't working so that we can sprout our wings into a new world of compassion, trust, prosperity, health and beauty.

Be Informed, Be Safe, Dr. Gloria

 

HD 3.20.20 Where Does Natural Pain and Inflammation RELIEF Begin?

I’m going to share with you a “secret” that most individuals know nothing about that is without side-effects yet effective with dozens of clinical studies to prove it.

The “secret” is known as Kinases, they’re actually enzymes that control complex processes within our cells. Ground-breaking research now reports that certain hop components – you read that right, hops (you know the kind they make beer from) – can actually modulate the kinase activity in our body to provide relief from pain and inflammation, including joint pain.

While most pain and inflammation formulas are synthetic and only address symptoms, this complex actually addresses the underlying causes. It is physician-formulated with a modified hops extract known as THIAA that has demonstrated in study after study to modulate specific kinases in our body that are associated with pain signals, joint health repair and maintenance.

HD 3.13.20 Vitamin D3 Deficiencies and Pain, Inflammatory Disorders & Chronic Fatigue Syndromes

New research confirms the connection between inflammatory and immune system disorders, unexplained pain, sleep disorders and low levels of Vitamin D3 – and that  Fibro and Chronic Fatigue ARE alleviated with bio-absorbable sources of supplementation…AND…all Vitamin D is NOT Created Equal!

Being a doctor and recovered victim of Fibromyalgia, and working with thousands worldwide with what I call the “Invisible Illnesses” the following quote by Dr. Samuel Johnson says it all about this disorder before I even go into specifics: Those who do not feel pain seldom think that it is felt!

HD 3.6.20 Interrupt Pain Signals - Are You Listening Fibro Patients?

After 15+ years as president/research consultant/instructor of two non-profit international fibromyalgia organizations, and numbers of those afflicted rising to epidemic proportions – now estimated to be one in forty people – my commitment of finding causes, effects and non-drug solutions to inflammatory disorders is one I take very seriously. Both in my private virtual global practice and in teaching post graduate courses for health professionals, my professional commitment of “Health thru Education™” remains focused on identifying and reporting natural solutions.

SAFE Pain Alternatives to Toxic Drugs

This research article helps you to understand the terms Kinase or Kinase Modulators

               Kinases play a critical role in pain syndromes because they are the signals that influence transmission of the pain cascade and the signal pathways from the affected areas to the brain. The use of kinase modulating ingredients help to interrupt pain signals and I’ve found it to be extremely effective for most pain syndromes particularly those from fibromyalgia, arthritis, Lupus, etc.

               Interrupting pain signals not only provides soft tissue relief but also join relief. In other words, if pain signals are not getting through to the portion of the brain that sends up “red flags” that then accelerate existing pain, pain is lessened...CLICK HERE to read full report. 

HD 2.28.20 Blood Sugar Regulation - Grapes to The Rescue

Before delving into research and natural solutions to diabetes, let’s first “digest” the following alarming facts:

In 2015, 30.3 million Americans, or 9.4% of the population, had diabetes – In 2019 (just 4 years later) approximately 35 million were diagnosed. Approximately 1.25 million American children and adults have type 1 diabetes, the remainder have type 2, also called adult-onset.

How many people die from diabetes in the United States each year?

According to recent figures, the CDC reports that 89,535 deaths occur each year due to diabetes.

A new study investigated whether an antioxidant commonly found in some wine and fruits has beneficial effects on the cardiovascular health of patients with diabetes. CLICK HERE to continue reading the entire report.

HD 2.21.20 Coffee and Cholesterol - Cholesterol-Increasing Factors

 

 

 

The Way I See It…

• There are many claims about coffee and cholesterol.
• One thing is clear: Coffee may raise cholesterol; however, this depends on how you brew it and how much you drink.
• If you’re drinking black coffee or decaffeinated to keep cholesterol in check…think again. Cafestol, a compound found in coffee, elevates cholesterol by hijacking a receptor in an intestinal pathway critical to its regulation, according to recent research.

HD 2.7.20 The Greatest Discovery Since Antibiotics - Don't Wine - Take Action

What natural food controls the following better than any substance identified by science?...keep reading:

• It helps keep your blood pressure in the normal range;
• Helps your heart health and;
• It better controls the overall aging process than other nutrients.

No wonder Harvard researchers are calling it a medical breakthrough – some Harvard-educated researchers believe they’ve discovered a proverbial ‘fountain of youth’! CLI CK to read the entire report.

They’re talking about resveratrol, calling it a miracle ingredient, and the greatest discovery since antibiotics*.

HD 1.31.20 OMEGAs - Support for Heart Health

Yes, we know that health focus in February is on heart health, and this post is no exception…except…in this investigative report I’m going to share with you some of the additional benefits that many do not attribute to Omegas. Once you know the long list of health benefits, why would you choose to not include it daily with a supplement that’s easy to take and healthy…assuming the source of the fish is independently laboratory triple-tested to insure its sources are “clean” and not laden with toxic chemicals.
