Hello everyone!!!Ā š
I am so excited to write to you today!Ā As my family and I prepare for a trip together to celebrate our sonās life and his successful journey through leukemia, Iāve been thinking, prayingā¦ā¦and packing.
As I began planning and preparingĀ for the 10 of us to take this trip, which is a miracle in and of itself; and after much thought, and prayer, I realized that something I probably havenāt shared with you is part of my heartās desire to help people prevent/get through the journey of cancer. *I actually despise cancer and prefer that it completely disappear from the earth, but since that probably isnāt going to happen any time soon,ā¦.. it is my firm belief that I should use our experience to help others prevent it at all costs, and if it does happen, they have some extra knowledge and encouragement to persevere through it.
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā 
Personally, I think sometimes in life, we get āstuckā in our ruts and routines. We lose sight of what weāre doing and why.Ā We become too comfortable.
Too often, people get comfortable and think, āitās convenientā, ā itās worked pretty goodā, āwell, Iām just not sure, I donāt like changeā, ā I just donāt have time to start something newāā¦ā¦ we have all kinds of excuses to stay comfortable, to make life as easy as possible, and to avoid putting forth any extra effort for a prevention Ā method. Then, we are upset when things donāt go the way we planned, or we get a diagnosis we didnāt expectā¦..
Ā 
We canāt prevent everything.Ā We can only do our BEST and take care of the one body weāre given.
So today, I thought Iād share some tools and tips from my lifeās toolbox and words from my heart that hopefully, will encourage and enable you to make some changes for a healthier future.Ā Ā š
Ā 
I must begin by saying, āI am so fed up with the commercials that advertise medications that will ācureā or āimproveā some ailment someone may have and the list of side effects is A MILE LONG.ā They say that these medications can help my dry skin and/or maybe my muscle pain,ā¦..BUT I may have to take the risk of: heart attack, blindness, Ā shortness of breath, legs collapsing, seizures, cancerā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦Ā seriously?!?!?!!
At this point, I think we can all agree that the American food supply is downright scary, the FDA is āout to lunchā, and the only way you can REALLY know what youāre eating is if you grow it, know who grew it, raised it, or know who raised it.
But how does one find balance?
Personally, I go to trusted sources.Ā Then, I research what the trusted source has said, checkout their trusted sources, and come to my own conclusion.Ā I would encourage you to do the same.
As I share with you some of my trusted sources, I would like to remind you that I am not a doctor and do not claim to have all of the answers.Ā I have chosen these sources Ā based on the integrity of the company, the usage of my trusted friends and colleagues, and my personal experiences and results.Ā If you would want ANY of these products, you may obtain them through me.
1)Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE JUICE PLUS!Ā Juice Plus is a company that I have complete confidence in their ability to ābridge the gapā between the foods we consume every day and the requirements of our body to obtain quality antioxidants to fight free radicals and prevent cancer.Ā *Juice Plus is NOT meant to take the place of fruits and vegetables, but is a wonderful source of whole nutrition, especially for individuals/children who do not consume enough quality fruits and vegetables each day. **Itās the ONLY supplement that was approved by our sonās oncologists as safe, WHOLE FOOD, to support his body during his 3.5 years of cancer treatment. (wish we had known about it before the diagnosis!)**ask me how you can get it FREE for you children**
2)Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE MELALEUCA!Ā The Melaleuca company provides many products that are essential oil-based and totally safe!Ā We use these products in our home so that we do not expose our children to environmental toxins that can cause cancer and affect immune support.Ā In fact, they are ultra-safe for children and pets and work like a charm!Ā **Right now, you can get $100 worth of FREE products, ask me how!**
Ā
3)Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Essential oils,ā¦.again, LOVE THEM!!! Essential oils are useful topically, internally, and in diffusers to fight infections, bacteria, viruses, and provide good immune support.Ā **I have two wonderful sources, Ā that I know use high quality processes to extract the oils from their natural sources. **Personally, I have used a couple oils to treat toe nail fungus, psoriasis, cuts, scrapes, bruises, sinus infections, colds, flus, bruising, headaches, and sore muscles.
4)Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā FOODā¦ā¦..I L-O-V-E FOOD!!! Ā Ever heard, āLet food be thy medicineā? *I love that school of thought. Since the dawn of time, people have been eating real, WHOLE, organic, GRASS-FED, pastured, made-from-scratch with whole grains food!! Some of the most nutritious foods that are often missed at the American dinner table include fermented foods that provide probiotics to support and heal the gut. Someone please, correct me if Iām wrong, but, Ā Iām pretty sure there werenāt any ādrive-thrusā in the Garden of Eden and Iāve never heard that cavemen ate pastries or complete meals out of a box.Ā Ā Ā **Take baby steps and incorporate one small change at a time, eventually, it will make a big difference. Ā Ā *If there is a recipe youād like to give a āmake-overā to and make healthier, send it to me and I will do my best to improve its quality and nutritional value.Ā Ā š
Ā 
Lastly, and MOST importantly,ā¦ā¦ā¦.I have to tell you that I firmly believe that no matter what choices you make in order to prevent diseases or chronic conditions, no matter what diagnosis you get and how great your doctors are, there is only ONE āGreat Physicianā and it is in whom I trust most.
Ā 
For those of you who have experienced the journey of cancer and for those of you who have gone through our journey with us, know that you hold a very special place in my heart.Ā As we go on this trip, Camās āMake-A-Wishā trip, my wish for you is that you have found encouragement in your reading and you find comfort in our āGreat Comforterā.
Keepinā it real,
Elena š
