Eye to Eye

Have you ever wondered what was going on in your eyes. What is actually the basic issues that may be causing you problems with your diminishing eye sight.

I recently had an eye test which is not pleasant at the best of times. Like going to the dentist. Uncomfortable chairs and machines which just do not quite get in the right place properly.

However after my eye test with the Letters on the distant wall and the young ophthalmologist who was conducting my examination we got chatting about what was happening. She was very clear and helpful in getting me to understand the issues in my eyes. She informed me that my retinas were rather thin and may have a little stretch in one of them. this to me reminded me of the time I used my mascara brush and it slipped into my eye when I was applying my make up ages ago. Anyway I digress. She suggested I go along to the eye hospital and would put in a request for me which she duly did. Although I had already informed her that I would more likely find an alternative way to treat my eyes. Especially now I knew what I was dealing with. First time ever someone had explained to me what was wrong.

Having done some research in a selection of medical books the BMA massive medical book I have in my home and also the Alternative Medicine book I have too both confirmed that there was a possibility of a Vitamin A deficiency which could be a root cause. So guess what the old adage of eat your carrots because they will help you see better is actually not far from the the truth. In fact the humble carrot has so many great properties to it that it made me do some major research in to the matter.

I sourced my Superfoods book on more information on the humble carrot and was indeed surprised at what I found out. They are indeed full of the nutrients and vitamins which do help the eyes to stay healthy. I would highly recommend you take a look at this book as it has a wide range of great information regarding all the foods we eat and their potential health benefits.

When I discovered the full benefits of eating more carrots I was delighted. I love carrots and wondered why I did not eat more of them. There are many foods we like and enjoy yet we do not fully understand the reason why certain foods attract us when we are out shopping. I always seem to be drawn to the blue fruits and greener vegetables. I have over the past few years looking at my blood group and seeing what is the connection between certain foods and their benefits to me. So I invested in a book called Eat Right 4 Your Blood type and started some serious investigations. Since I have started to notice the changes and improvement in both my movements and overall energy increases and less tired and irritable I started to make a more serious investigation into it. So if you are interested in discovering more about how to improve your overall wellbeing and healthy body in all your organs and understand the connections between the food we eat and the state of our health then I recommend this book to you.

OLIVE OIL

I LOVE OLIVE OIL, the taste and the potential healing and health properties this beautiful oil has to offer us.

It is one of the most precious oils that we have on this earth and I have recently been doing some research into the potential health benefits not just as a culinary asset in the kitchen.

Here is a link I have been looking at to get some better understanding of the best qualities of this great oil.

I am present doing my own personal research into the health benefits of this oil and have been finding it to be as good as it gets. I am not one for pharma and so always looking for a much more healthy way of dealing with issues that arise in my own life.

I fell over at the beginning of this year and damaged my shoulder and tendons in my right arm quite badly and it was taking a long time to heal, however over the past few weeks since I started taking 20ml each morning of olive oil I have noticed a significant improvement in both the swelling and movement of my arm and shoulder. I am not saying it will work with everyone, I just happen to enjoy seeing the results it is having on my own issues.

I also watched a video on how it also improves your weight management so this was my first port of call to try to see how it would help me. I have noticed some changes but it is still early days so will only be sure it has made a positive impact in that area in a more longer study of myself.

Anyway, I enjoy the flavour and smell, love it dribbled over hot toast and tomatoes so for me it is a very useful and fun oil to use. I ALSO use it in my own essential oils mixes and the combination for me is great. I know others will not like it. However I am only just saying it works for me.

Hormones

Wow, we humans are a complex creation. Considering what our bodies are able to do.

Growing up is such a painful experience for lots of people. Watching how people deal with their variety of ages of children and themselves got me thinking about the absolute bottom line of our issues. We are a complex mix of spirit, flesh and bone. We have great capacity to love and hate. Manipulate others to suit our own needs. If we are honest with ourselves we could see we are exactly the same.

When looking back over my own life issues on how to handle myself when the dreaded monthly cycle was to start becoming an issue and also through the menopause I decided to look for some information that could help me overcome my own issues and in the process maybe help others to come face to face with their own.

Watching my daughter reaching the age of the beginnings of the menopause really got me thinking about how early we start to manifest signs of hormonal disturbances in our lives. Was surprised when I looked back over my own life and saw that I was manifesting hormonal and emotional outbursts from a very young age.

Hence the reason I am very curious as to where it all started. Not just in myself but in human beings in general. Looking at the book of Genesis gave me some insight as to the reasons we were given such complex issues to deal with. As a woman – Eve was told that since she had listened to the voice of another other than Gods voice He said He was going to increase Eves troubles by her having issues with childbearing and obviously that meant something happened at that time to cause womankind to develop hormonal disruptions, difficulty with conception. Difficulty within the family. Look at the amount of issues we have regarding our relationships with each other. If we take a closure look at our behavioural patterns regarding our high and low days, we start to see a pattern emerging.

I am only a lay person, not a doctor or anything medical just someone who observes my own body and always seeks to find a solution other than running after the doctors all the time with everything thing that can possibly go wrong.

I look for herbal solutions and also when it comes to understanding myself it gives me I think a bit of insight into how others tick too.

I have throughout my blogs endeavoured to share some knowledge from other sources who are probably way more qualified in lots of different fields than I. I for my own part just seek to find out what kind of things work for me and in doing so help others to their own research into their own issues.

I enjoy researching especially if it brings about positive results and allow us to live in peace and harmony with our own selves. We are a complex breed and therefore should respect one another as such. We are all built the same, no matter what colour and place we were born into.

The information is my own researching to help myself and my own daughter to find a better understanding on how we tick.

Have a great day. Do check out some of the books I have posted in the past, they will help you.

Menopause

Not a subject many people like to talk about yet is fundamentally a vital part of every persons life. It affects everything from the way we see ourselves and others.

Recently my daughter has struggled to come to terms with the fact that she is in fact menopausal and as such needs some guidance on how to find the best solution for herself.

We all deal with situations differently, me I seek always a more natural way of doing things with herbs and oils and have found that this works best for me. However others are not so ready to accept that way of doing things, the thing is that is the most tried and tested route for centuries women and men have sought the natural path for healing, I also include prayer for healing and understanding our connection to the rest of humanity and the universe if vital for us to have a better understanding on helping one another discover a resolution to our issues.
