WELCOME from SALLY HOLMES REED

Flower and Energy Essences are a very special type of holistic healing that work with the nature spirits and elementals that give form to all living things. Our nervous system receives and transmits knowledge, accessing the bio-energy/life force that is unique to each flower or natural material. Essences work in subtle, gentle and safe ways on the fields of energy within and around our body, allowing healing to take place at all levels.

The Hawaiian language is beautiful and complex. The word, Akua, has many meanings. I use it here to mean the invisible, creative essence of nature, including the nature spirits that surround us. Please use these Essences with deep love and gratitude for the guidance, love, friendship and total commitment to our healing from the Flower and Nature Spirits.

Allow me to be your guide in choosing and working with the vibrational healing qualities of Flower & Energy Essences. Working co-creatively with the Akua, nature spirits, devas and elementals, each drop of the healing waters of Flower & Energy Essences vibrates with its own positive healing quality.

Molly from Green Hope Farm reminds us to follow our hearts when being guided to take Flower Essences.

It is my greatest pleasure to offer my combined training and experience in holistic hypnosis, vibrational healing, meridian tapping, educational kinesiology, breath awareness and Hawaiian healing to begin the process of change, activate healing and inspire a beautiful life with intuition, expertise, elegance, compassion, grace, truth, love and gratitude.

I hope you benefit from the information shared here. If this is different from what you have been taught, I am sorry. Please enjoy what is of interest to you and leave the rest.

Take care, Sally

mineral or vitamin deficiency

A deficiency in vitamin B12 (pyridoxine) and or B6 (pyridoxine) will produce excessive sweating, excessive urination, dizzy spells, ataxia (tripping over), chest pains and heart palpitations, numbness and tingling and prickling sensations in the outer extremities, depression, headaches and migraines, muscle cramping and night sweats.

B12 and B6 NEED sufficient calcium to be effectively assimilated.

Some symptoms of calcium deficiency are headaches and migraines, insomnia, achy bones, moodiness and irritability, digestive issues such as bloating cramping and constipation.

Most over the counter (otc) and prescription meds, such as antidepressants, will trash calcium and magnesium as will a diet high in processed sugar, processed salt, animal protein, saturated fat, caffeine, alcohol, sodas / pop. Other things that will trash your calcium supplies are laxatives, diuretics, and estrogen supplementation.

So... eat more green leafy vegies and green salads, fresh salmon and fresh sardines, which are all rich in both calcium and magnesium.
Try juicing celery and limes and drinking that each morning... rich in calcium and magnesium and an easy way to ingest lots of greens if you don't like eating salads.

Eat more foods rich in B12 and B6:
B12 - lean meats and fishes, eggs, cheese
B6 - lean meats and fishes, raw nuts and seeds (only a handfull daily ground up for easier digestion), brown rice, rolled oats.

Radiation Update from Dr. Cousens

The radiation that is being measured in general from the Fukushima release includes I-131, Cesium 134, Cesium 137, Uranium 238, and Xenon 133. Vietnam, which is 4,000 km away from the Fukushima reactor is now reporting an increase in U-238 in pine needles. Radiation, in general, has been found 300 times higher in the US milk supply. Nuclear radiation in Hawaiian milk has been found to be 2,033% higher than permissible levels. Radiation in milk has already been reported in Phoenix, AZ, Spokane, WA, Montpellier, VT, as well as in, Los Angeles, CA.

Abnormally higher levels of radiation, in general, have been reported in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Philadelphia, Niagra Falls, Denver, Detroit, Trenton, Oakridge, Cincinnati, Pittsburg, and Boise are all reporting elevated radiation levels.

Side effects of radiation exposure include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, fatigue, fever, loss of appetite, and skin damage (swelling, itching, redness, and hair loss). Long-term effects show a decrease in IQ, an increase in mental illness (as fat tissues in the brain are oxidized by radiation), and cancer. The rate of mental illness, particularly depression, has also been connected to proximity to nuclear testing and depleted uranium exposure.

The US has the highest percentage of mental illness at 26.4% of population. France is at an 18% depression rate, and may have the most nuclear plants of any country in the world. Brain tissue is affected by radiation, which causes by free radical damage of DNA and destruction of brain cell membranes. Radioactive uranium is particularly attracted to DNA, and so it is particularly damaging.

Research is also clear that uranium particles are capable of long distance travel. Not only does I-131 affect the thyroid gland, but also breasts, ovaries, uterus, prostate, because all these organs need iodine to operate optimally.

As I pointed out before, almost all major radiation medical experts agree that there are no safe levels of radiation exposure.

As a holistic physician looking at patterns appearing all over the globe, it would appear that increased radiation exposure from several sources, “forced” vaccinations, chem-trails, GMO’s and excessive use of psychotropic drugs, especially in children, all weaken the immune system and decrease and impair brain function. These effects impair our ability to transcend the bio-computer mind, and thus prevent our collective evolution of consciousness on the planet. This entire world pattern evokes an eerie feeling that there is more at play here than meets the superficial eye.

The good news is that we have ways to protect ourselves. Although my March 28th list was more complex, on popular request I am providing a simpler, more condensed list based on the six strategies I previously outlined.

One radiation protective strategy is competitive inhibition, which means that when you have plenty of healthy minerals in the body, they keep the radioactive particles from affecting particular organs. I-131 is one of our big immediate concerns, and I am recommending a new form of colloidal singlet, scalar wave prepared iodine called Illumodine, which is a 2% solution and it 100% absorbed. It is the best iodine in the world. When you order this you will get the recommended dose.

Other sources of iodine include 4-10 kelp tablets per day to build up iodine levels.
It is estimated by some medical experts that approximately 13 mg daily will give 96% protection from I-131. This will protect your thyroid. It takes about 4 months at 15 drops, 3 times daily, to reach full iodine sufficiency.

In addition iodine supplementation also removes toxins like heavy metals (i.e. mercury) from the body. It also neutralizes free radicals. Full iodine sufficiency has been shown to increase IQ by up to 13.5 points in a medical analysis from 17 clinical studies.

Iodine is the most potent killer of viruses, bacteria, and fungi in the world. It also regulates estrogen production and is involved with protection of hormones to stabilize mental health, control weight, and increases our ability to fight infections. It also helps with food allergies.

It is estimated that somewhere between 72% to 99% of people in the world are iodine deficient, so not only is iodine protective against Iodine 131, but it extremely good for building ones health. It is also known to be spiritually elevating. Scientific evidence as old as 1953, shows that the thyroid even controls the pituitary gland and, thus, is the master gland of the body. Connected with the fifth chakra, it mediates between the mind and the heart. Its butterfly shield shape is a symbol of transformation and protection.

There is one caveat to using iodine. It is such a potent detoxifier that people may have a healing crisis, so go slowly with it. An iodine healing crisis looks the same as iodine toxicity making it hard to distinguish between them. We do have a reasonable approach to this. Because 72%-99% of the world population is iodine deficient, it is best to consider a healing crisis before iodine toxicity, but we cannot discount bio-chemical individuality and toxicity response.

These detox or toxicity symptoms include rapid heartbeat, itching skin, fatigue, skin outbreaks, skin swelling, swelling of the salivary glands, metallic taste, burning mouth and throat, sore teeth and gums, head cold symptoms, and upset stomach. Other symptoms include headache sweaty palms, diarrhea (particularly if you have parasites). If you get these symptoms, stop iodine immediately and wait till all symptoms subside (usually 3-4 days) before resuming with a lower dosage. There has been no documentation of death from natural iodine. It is documented that one person, who ingested 100,000 times the recommended amount, had an uneventful recovery after a few days. A few people are also allergic, and these allergies may present as fever and joint pain, swelling of face and body, and even severe shortness of breath. Some of these are also symptoms of overactive thyroid. Paradoxically, I know of two cases of people with hyperthyroid, which is a deregulation phenomenon, who were cured using Illumodine.

However, I would not recommend taking iodine supplements unless under supervision if one has a hyperthyroid condition.

The point is that in this time of crisis, with I-131 radiation exposure in the world, it is important to take iodine as protection, but use caution and increase the dosage slowly to maximum.

In response to the crisis, the Tree of Life Natural Pharmacy is offering Illumodine at half the price it is selling for in Hawaii. You may purchase it from us at $26.00 per bottle and at $22.00 per bottle when you order a quantity of 12 or more.

Radiation protection strategy number 2 is chelation. I recommend eating as much sea vegetables as possible. Natural Cellular Defense (NCD) is the best chelator protection (except for protection against I-131, during the first 8 days). It is best to take NCD at 10 drops 4 times daily. Because of the crisis at hand, the Tree of Life Natural Pharmacy is offering Natural Cellular Defense at a 44% discount until the threat of radiation poisoning passes, which unfortunately may be months.

Radiation protection strategy number 3 is to increase antioxidant intake. Radiation creates free radicals, which is the major mechanism by which it causes sickness and decreases lifespan and death. I recommend Nano-Green Tea at 1/2 teaspoon twice daily. I also recommend taking Mega Hydrate at 2 capsules 2 times daily.

Radiation protection strategy number 4 is to take anti-radiation food and herbs. Spirulina, chlorella, E3Live, and bee pollen are effective against radiation. Siberian ginseng, chaparral, aloe vera taken at 1 oz twice daily are also effective. Gotu kola and gingko billoba are also recommended. I also recommend our new marine phytoplankton powder called Alpha 3CMP at ½ teaspoon once daily.

Radiation protection strategy number 5 is to eat an organic and plant-source-only cuisine. Eating low on the food chain significantly reduces your exposure to toxins in general, as well as to radiation particles. Avoid all animal products including dairy, meat, fish, and chicken as these animals concentrate radioactive particles in their bodies 30 times more than are concentrated in plants. This situation makes the point that a plant source only cuisine is not only the diet for the future expansion of consciousness, but for the immediate healthy survival in the present.

Radiation protection strategy number 6 is political action to both close old nuclear facilities, (which become more dangerous after 40 years of operation), and prevent the building of proposed nuclear plants. Avoid back-scatter x-ray devices. Doctors Otis Brawley, Carl Bilimoria, Len Lichtenfeld, and Dong Kim (neurosurgeon for Congresswomen Gabrielle Giffords), all make a point of avoiding the backscatter devices in airports as they all feel there is no safe dose of radiation. Actually the FBI, the Soviet Union, Iraq, and Afghanistan all use bomb and explosive powder smelling dogs, which are far more sensitive and accurate than the backscatter devices. The backscatter devices are both poorly monitored and concentrate the radiation in the skin rather than spread it throughout the body, as well as not working as effectively as dogs.

Radiation in the water is a problem as no system, as of yet, fully protects from radiation. However, it appears that reverse osmosis (RO) water units and also water distillation can make a significant difference when combined with ion exchange filtration. Soon we’ll be carrying zeolite shower filters at the Tree of Life Store, to protect you in travel or at home. We are looking for the best in house water filters to protect from radiation in water. I believe we’ll solve this problem in the near future with a special form of zeolite filter we are researching. The Environmental Protection Agency recommends RO to remove radioactive isotopes that emit beta particle radiation; however, I-131 is still present in water as a dissolved gas and RO does not remove it. We can wash our vegetables thoroughly. It helps. Activated carbon filters also remove I-131, unfortunately carbon filters ultimately get clogged with radiation. Ion exchange filters used in water softeners are good for removing cesium 137. The optimal system would be a combination of filter devices. At the Tree of Life Rejuvenation Center we use ion exchange and reverse osmosis filtration so our water is relatively safe. In conclusion, we have ways to protect ourselves.

It is important that we as human inhabitants of the earth look at our lifestyles and stop living as if we have a right to disregard the laws of nature. It is important to actively challenge public agencies that support anti-human and anti-Planet Earth dissonant activities. It is dysfunctional to mess things up and then pray for divine help. The Divine is not about to exonerate our imbalanced lifestyles on the earth. I call for us to examine our lives and contemplate how we can bring ourselves back into harmony with the living planet. Stay tuned for an anti-radiation visualization and a discussion of radiation as the frequency of dark light. In the next few days a worldwide radiation meditation to nullify radiation will be released.

May your days be filled with health, peace, and harmony with the living planet and yourself, Gabriel Cousens, M.D., M.D.(H), D.D., Diplomate American Board of Holistic Medicine, Diplomate Ayurveda


Dr. Gabriel Cousins, in his book Conscious Eating, says, “Foods containing chlorophyll have long been known to protect against radiation. Generally speaking, any green foods have chlorophyll. From 1959 to 1961, the Chief of the U.S. Army Nutrition Branch in Chicago found that high-chlorophyll foods reduced the effects of radiation on guinea pigs by 50 percent. This includes all chlorophyll foods: cabbage, leafy green vegetables, spirulina, chlorella, wheatgrass, any sprouts, and the blue-green algae from Klamath Lake called Aphanizomenon flos-aquae (AFA). This variety of blue-green algae is an excellent anti-radiation food because of its high cellular immutability and high regenerative energy, as well as its high chlorophyll content. It should be taken in a dose of four capsules (one gram) four times per day for one week before, and several weeks after, radiation exposure.”




In my essay Treatments for Nuclear Contamination I mentioned that spirulina and chlorella have been used heavily by the Russians after the Chernobyl nuclear plant disaster. Dr. Cousins knows his medicine and his food. What he says above is critical information and that is why I recommend Rejuvenate in high doses because of its high spirulina and chlorella content and because it is refined cellular rocket fuel providing them with a broad range of concentrated nutrients in high enough dosages to make a huge difference to the cells, especially when they are under oxidative stress. Dr. Gabriela Segura reminds us that, “radiation produces free radicals (inflammatory molecules) that damage cells that make up tissues such as organs, glands, muscles, and bones. Besides causing the cells to age more quickly they also become distorted, or mutated, creating cancers such as leukemia, anemia, birth defects, and other diseases.” As you will see on my blog post about Rejuvenate, it is its great taste that makes it much easier to overwhelm the cells with concentrated broad-spectrum nutrition.



While we are talking basics I want to remind people also to stock up on vitamin E tablets and one way to go with this is with MegaFoods’ combined selenium and vitamin E formula or any formula that is whole food oriented like New Chapter formulas are. Megafood and New Chapter are companies that set the standards when it comes to quality whole food oriented manufacture of vitamin and mineral supplements.



Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that will help to prevent damage to cell membranes caused by ionizing radiation. It works by stopping the chain reactions triggered by the radiation that oxidize the polyunsaturated lipids in the membranes. These chain reactions are what make fatty food go rancid if you keep them for too long. In effect, radiation makes your cell membranes go rancid and it is this that does most of the damage to the rest of the cell, including damage to its DNA.




Yesterday I was on the radio with my colleague Dr. Gabriela Segura, a French heart surgeon. She and I have both recently published on the side effects and dangers of MMS (Miracle Mineral Supplement) and neither of us would be surprised if its advocates start preaching that it’s good for nuclear fallout as well.




Dr. Segura recently posted an important page on the Net that introduces something I overlooked completely in my first report on how to protect one from radiation as well as treat radiation sickness. This is incredibly important information for people to have in the northern hemisphere because radiation levels are only going to increase from this point on. This problem is not going away, though the authorities will try to hide as much as they can.



We need extra sulfur in our systems to help protect and treat radiation contamination. Segura published that, “Sulfur has a long history of use as an antidote for acute exposure to radioactive material. DMSO is the classical sulfur compound. A Japanese study showed that even low concentrations of DMSO had radio-protective effects through the facilitation of DNA double-strand break repair, providing protection against radiation damage at all cellular levels in the whole body. Remember that boosting your body’s detox capabilities and overall antioxidant levels is a key to survive in these stressful times. Being on a detox diet is crucial to regaining health in a toxic environment. Our extensive experience and research shows that those on a no grain/low carb (no gluten) and non-dairy diet fare MUCH better.”



There are four ways to get sulfur into our systems that I know of. There is DMSO, then sodium Thiosulfate, which I have recommended to people for years to put in their therapeutic baths and can be taken orally as well; there is also MSM and of course Epsom salts. I suggest you flood the companies that sell these products with your orders because like everything necessary and helpful for surviving the coming onslaught of slowly increasing radiation, these things will be in short supply.




I’m talking here about dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), an organic sulfur compound that was used only as an industrial solvent, that is, until its medical properties were discovered in 1963 by a research team headed by Stanley W. Jacob, MD. DMSO is a byproduct of kraft pulping (the “sulfate process”), which converts wood into wood pulp consisting of almost pure cellulose fibers. As industrial as it may sound, the process simply entails a treatment of wood chips with a mixture of sodium hydroxide and sodium sulfide, known as white liquor, breaking the bonds which link lignin (from the Latin word lignum, meaning wood) to the cellulose.




DMSO is useful as a pain reliever, in burns, acne, arthritis, mental retardation, strokes, amyloidosis, head injury, scleroderma; it soothes toothaches, eases headaches, hemorrhoids, muscle strains; it prevents paralysis from spinal chord injuries; it softens scar tissues. In fact, it is useful in well over 300 ailments and is safe to use. You would think that a compound that has so many alleged uses and benefits would be automatically suspect, but careful examination of its properties and the data available will shed some light in this miraculous chemical.



Sulfur: The Stuff of Life



DMSO is an intermediate product of the global sulfur cycle, which distributes bioavailable sulfur for all animal and plant life (Parcell, 2002). Sulfur compounds are found in all body cells and are indispensable for life; they are needed for a number of chemical reactions involved in the detoxification of drugs and other harmful toxins, and they have potential clinical applications in the treatment of a number of conditions such as depression, fibromyalgia, arthritis, interstitial cystitis, athletic injuries, congestive heart failure, diabetes, cancer, and AIDS (Parcell, 2002). Among the sulfur compounds, DMSO is probably the one that has the widest range and greatest number of therapeutic applications ever shown for any other single chemical. It has around 40 pharmacological properties that may be beneficial in the prevention, relief or reversal of numerous diseases (Morton, 1993).



The Sodium thiosulfate can be put into a bath along with magnesium chloride….and yes the magnesiumsalts you found should be fine. For making an oil, just add spring water till saturated.


For DMSO instructions you should look to Dr. Gabriella’s infoirmation on it. We tried , but failed to get more specific instructions from her.

You can find some information on reduced glutathione here: http://naturalallopathic.com/cms/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=100:glutathione-sources&catid=41:product-endorsements&Itemid=117 (for oral and nebulization….but for nebulization get only the form bufferred with bicarbonate)

Yes, Lugol’s is safe to take orally…use 1-5 drops in a glass of water 2-5x/week or more depending on the radiation situation there.

Sodium thiosulfate can be added to water a few times /week, to taste, or added to the bath.

Wisdom of Healing

Wisdom of Healing
Herbal and Wellness Education


ADD, ADHD, various learning difficulties, childhood depression and a host of other physical or emotional health issues have risen exponentially in the last few decades.

Whenever possible, buy organic foods and beverages.

Essential fatty acids (EFA’s) are crucial for literally every cell in the body.

Numerous studies have been done showing EFA’s effectiveness with some of today’s common conditions, including ADD, ADHD, IQ scores, depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, dyslexia, learning difficulties, visual function, hostility, aggression and many other related conditions.

Studies have also shown that children with any of these conditions are more likely to experience allergies, asthma, eczema, stomachaches and ear infections than other children. This indicates the probable connection to the digestive system, including both assimilation of nutrients and elimination of toxin accumulation.

Supplementing at mealtime with children’s digestive enzymes and an excellent probiotic (acidophilus, bifidus, etc) first thing in the morning (wait 15-30 minutes before eating) will help the body to get the nutrients to the cells and improve elimination of toxins.

Include more cultured foods in your child’s diet. Kids often love yogurt, kefir, miso, sauerkraut and pickles, given the opportunity, because they taste sour and/or salty!

Gentle daily detoxification using foods and nutritious herbs is the safest method for reducing this toxic load from the liver, blood, organs and cells. Lemon juice, organic blueberries, Cellfood, nettles and raspberry leaf tea can all support gentle and safe daily detoxification.

Here are the top 10 favorite general cleansing herbs and foods. Please pay close attention to the quality of the product you choose. Please buy organic/ local whenever possible.

Turmeric
Ginger
Holy basil (tulsi)
Red clover
Burdock
Hempseeds
Sea vegetables
Blessed thistle
Dark leafy green vegetables
Sprouts

When Holy basil (Ocimum sanctum) or Melissa (lemon balm) is added to the EFA’s, probiotics and dietary modifications, results can be profound. Positive results are often noticed by teachers and parents within just a few days.

Holy basil can also help with feelings of anxiousness, irritability, attention, focus, blood sugar issues, restlessness, disturbed sleep and mood swings.

Melissa is soothing, calming, and beneficial for helping to improve focus.

Both of these gentle herbs can support the immune system, helping to prevent cold, flu, ear infections, etc. according to research.

Minerals are also an important group of nutrients for brain function.

An easy way to ‘sneak’ minerals into your child’s diet is to sprinkle kelp or dulse flakes into everything you cook. Sea vegetables have all the macro and trace minerals needed by the developing and properly functioning brain.

Another way for children to enjoy consuming vital nutrients is by offering them herbal teas every day. Experiment with flavors that they may enjoy, and feel free to add extra nettles, raspberry leaf or alfalfa to increase the nutritional profile. Be sure to cover the tea cup or teapot as it steeps to retain those important vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients.

Ample amounts of Vitamin B complex have been associated with good brain and nervous function. Likewise, low amounts of B vitamins have been shown to reduce cognitive function, increase irritability, depression and poor test scores. Good food sources of the B vitamins include all cultured foods, including whole milk organic yogurt and kefir. It is important to choose whole milk organic cultured dairy foods, as many important nutrients are bound to the fat, so low-fat and fat-free versions are simply not as nutritious. And as far as the fat goes, these are good fats, the ones that support good health and brain function!
