I was thinking today that there have been so many of you reaching out lately to help those who are just coming into treatment and how wonderful it is to create a ring of hope and help and positivity all the way around. There is so much negative information out there. And, being sick can be a lonely place to be.  

In my work I sound like a broken record, "no sugar, no sugar substitutes, they are bad for you......" Sorbitol is also in topical facial and body lotions. So, this is an ingredient to be aware of. It is present in even many natural products that might seem otherwise like a good idea. Later agave is a great natural sweetener that is not unhealthy for you, but, when you are ready!

Thank you Sydney for answering the bowling ball feeling question on the forum! Thank you for being there for the person who asked. It is so important for those that have gone before to be there for those that are now struggling. And, keeping your heart open to give back is so incredibly important. This is a dreadful condition, and the only way we will help those in it and prevent others from falling into it is by communication and education. That responsibility is something that we may all share in together however it is that we are involved. Thank you Sydney!

I always recommend keeping exposure to chemicals at a minimum. Such as: using hair dyes that are less toxic--those found in health-food stores, not going to get your nails done in hair salons where the smell of nail finishes are impossible to avoid inhaling, not using or exposing your skin to direct contact with house cleaning chemicals. Chemicals are everywhere, we certainly cannot live in a bubble. But, we can keep our awareness up and limit our exposure to chemical toxins to the best of our ability.
