We are blessed with some rain to cool things off at night before the sweaty hot summer nights settle in.
Talking about hot summer nights – this month in our library, we explore the varied reasons that make you sweat…
Of course there are many subjects these days that can make you hot under the collar, everyone knows getting angry puts a strain on your liver. With all the anxiety over the past couple of years I would recommend everyone in Australia doing a liver flush.
If you think you need one see our special this month.
I just completed a liver cleanse recently; I couldn’t believe the size of stones that came out. It was astonishing – despite me having done the flush already 28 times in my life. I will have to do another soon.
It seems many of my customers are particularly angry at the moment about the pandemic and it is having an effect on our health especially the liver. I have tried to avoid the subject in my newsletter but I have seen a number of patients this year who have been caught up in pandemic disparaging. It is having a profound effect on their health and our community. Now we have righteous
indignation about these health issues, dividing our communities not uniting them.
In wholistic medicine we don’t have sides. We treat everyone and do our best to do no harm. We do our best to avoid the polarizing viewpoints, misinformation and agendas of business and government, but it seems impossible to get away unaffected by it all.
We are being taught how to marginalize other people based on medical choices and this cannot stand.
We have to try a little kindness.
I saw an older woman the other day at the petrol station she was overwhelmed and distraught trying to make the QR code on her phone work.
A younger man and woman offered to help her when she turned and told them I haven’t had the jab yet. The young women said no worries let’s get this working for you.
When I came out from paying for my petrol the young people were still helping her and they were all smiling and talking.
This is the Australia I know and love. The Australia that says live and let live and offers help to people less fortunate than them.
We are all so blessed in Australia there is no reason to manufacture fear and distrust.
Kindness is a type of behavior marked by acts of generosity, consideration, or concern for others, without expecting praise or reward.
Kindness is defined as the quality of being friendly. Being kind is doing intentional, voluntary acts of kindness.
Not only when it's easy to be kind, but when it's hard to be.
We are humans, and therefore, we make mistakes. We can be kind in our response to ourselves and others when those mistakes occur.
This means thinking before speaking, forgiving before seeking revenge, and thinking about long-term relationships instead of short-term pride.
If we could all remember that none of us are perfect, we would be a lot kinder to each other. Just offer grace and be kind.
Let’s stop for a moment and try and forget all the words we have learned in the past couple of years like mandate, antivaxxer, and lockdown.
Let’s try for just a minute to think of kind words that describe our human existence and our health will benefit immensely in the process.
Here are just a few words I will try to use through the holiday season to shift my outlook from the fear campaign surrounding the pandemic:
Benevolence, Compassion, Courtesy, Friendliness, Gentleness, Goodness, Goodwill, Gracious, Helpfulness, Loving, Patience, Sympathy, Thoughtfulness, Tolerance, Understanding, Unselfishness.
Speaking of Christmas we have had a surge in people buying a lot of gift certificates of late. Both for treatments and products.
This has to be a good thing. Stepping away from the commercialism of Christmas and giving meaningful health-giving gifts seems to me to be
an act of kindness and supports our community in recovering from a very strange couple of years.
Wishing you the best in health and life.
