WHAT I BELIEVE

My Faith and My Work

The first part is about my faith, the second part about my work . They are in that order because that is the order of importance.

First and foremost I believe in God, that all living things are created continually, moment by moment by God. I believe that humans (and all living things) are made in the image and likeness of God and that man's destiny is to find LIFE which is God's Love within and express Life's Love without. I believe that God created 'all' and God said 'It is good'. We are created in God's image, after God's likeness. The LIFE in us is God's Life. The LIFE of the earth is God's LIFE.

I believe that when we do not believe in LIFE (GOD) we cannot see. We are in darkness and see darkness, in ourselves. We spread the darkness. We must OPEN our eyes and see the Light is is present, always present.

I believe that our bodies are parts of planetary life which is God embodied. I believe that illness occurs when we or our parents, in free will (which does not necessarily mean we know what we are doing, just that we have choice), break the laws of Life and Love we close our eyes and see darkness instead of the Light.

I believe that to attain and maintain health, love, joy and peace, God's (Life's) laws cannot be broken.

1. Thou shalt not have any other gods before God. God is Life and Life is Love. These must be our focus, our source, our family. To believe you are God or that you have knowledge or power is a fool's path. You will always lose. In making your own god, to become dead to all Good. Dead, living in darkness and fear and loss.

2. Thou shalt not make yourself an idol. To worship anything but God/Life brings death. To worship dead things separates us from all Life, all Good, all Love.

3. Thou shalt not take the Lord's name in vain. To use Elohim in any false way is again, darkness and severs all connections with Life. All you want and need have already been supplied, all Love and all Joy and all Goodness, lost in darkness chasing false gods.

4. Remember the Sabbath Day and keep it Holy. To rest is to trust, to be present, to recognize the miracle of LIFE, to honor Life. It is a Great Blessing.

5. Honor your Father and Mother. The earth is our parent, the microbes, the plants and animals and birds and trees, the water, the air, the light. We are nothing without Life around us. Life is mother and father and mom and dad are personal expressions of Life. Without all Life you do not exist and you are ALONE no matter how big your 'crowd'. Parenthood is to be greatest human expression of gratitude for Life.

. Thou shalt not murder. Definition- Unlawful premeditated killing of a human being by a human being; to alter so as to make unrecognizable  To murder you have altered YOU. You are lost in darkness, alone. We are One Life, One Body.

7. Thou shalt not commit adultery. When we marry it is to become one with our mate. To betray that relationship betrays all relationships. There is now no bond with ANY Living thing. You are separated from all Love and Life by your action.

8. Thou shalt not steal. One who takes what is not theirs will never know the Joy of life. What is yours is your life. In stealing you give up your life, no longer connected, and will never know Joy.

9. Thou shalt not testify or bear false witness against your neighbor. To lie means you will never believe what anyone else tells you, ever. You have sealed your fate. You are separated from all Living things because you now cannot believe.

10. Thou shalt not covet. Def: To wish, long, or crave for (something, esp the property of another person) Wanting what belongs to others means you will not be able to see what you have. We are Life.

We have been given all that we need but can only see the truth if we are looking within, knowing all has been provided.

We are made blind to all our own good by our false gods, possessions, immorality, covetousness.

The 10 Commandments are not laws we are later punished for breaking. Breaking any of the laws HAS THE PUNISHMENT built in.

I believe that sin is separation from Life, all life including the Life of our bodies, and forgiveness of sin is rejoining Life. Life, encompassing all living communicating cells, awaits and welcomes us Home. I believe that salvation, reuniting with our bodies, with others, with life and grace and joy, are God's gifts received by reconnecting to LIFE the source, remembering we are creatures, not Creator. I believe that faith without works (action in one's life connecting to all living things) is dead faith. Faith precedes action but only compliance with the laws of life (God) will bring full healing of body mind or soul.

Whether in suffering or In death for me there is only a shadow for I am convinced that Life is eternal. God's love, in greater fullness than can be imagined, is offered freely when we turn within to rejoin LIFE. Now, in our earthly bodies, we are offered truth, love, joy. Turning within we find the Wholeness from which we were created and by connecting within we become whole. 

"I have set before you this day life and death, Choose life that you and your seed may live".

One of my favorite verses:

Jeremiah 9

23 This is what the LORD says:
Let not the wise man boast of his wisdom or the strong man boast of his strength or the rich man boast of his riches,

24 but let him who boasts boast about this: that he understands and knows me, that I am the LORD, who exercises kindness, justice and righteousness on earth, for in these I delight, declares the LORD.

The Holy Bible : New International Version. 1996, c1984 (electronic ed.) . Zondervan: Grand Rapids

Jesus KNEW and understood the laws of the body and spirit. The miracle of the loaves and fishes was a living response to physical, body, need. It was Jesus who said 'we must feed them lest they faint on their way'.

We are dependent on LIFE, in every way. We are not META nor will META heal, make better, make whole, anyone or anything. Dead things KILL, body, mind and soul, living things restore, heal and regenerate. Not only did Jesus recognize this more than 2,000 years ago, He considered it His duty to feed them. He did not say 'Be spiritual, think good thoughts and go on your way'. He fed them.

My Work

My faith deeply influences my work. Much in health and medicine seems to be about fixing things, an innate sense we humans are just happenstance, a lucky chance in evolution which we must maximize through our magnificent technologies.

My faith tells me we are all children of God/Life and so my work is about learning how to honor Life's plan for our bodies. God made us. He did NOT make a mistake. When I look for answers to health questions I am asking 'what was the original intent? God's idea, LIFE's plan?' This has led me to answers often quite different from current popular opinions regarding nutrition, health, disease, and Life itself.

Nutrition is and will always be a viceral reality as well as a science. My concern is the overall well-being of a client. I do not treat disease. Particular foods and supplements are used as adjuncts to support the body's natural process of healing and regeneration.

At best I am an educator. My goal is to support my clients in the process of attaining the knowledge, skill and habits needed to be at his or her best in a variety of life situations. It is my purpose to provide that education for my clients, students and friends.

I accept the following concepts as true:

• It is best (and really only possible) to get essential nutrients from REAL food.
• REAL food may only be found in food grown in microbe rich soils, fed by mineral rich unpolluted water. From animals and fish, free and well fed on natural real food, without antibiotics, fertilizers, pesticides or herbicides. REAL FOOD as produced by LIFE, from LIVING SOIL.
• The tendency to disease states is enhanced or reduced by NATURAL REAL living elements in excess or missing from the diet. Toxins in the environment, in our soils, water, and air, contribute to lowering the body's 'aliveness' and resistance to infection and contribute to the formation and progress of ALL degenerative disease.
• Processing, artificial flavors and colors, artificial sweetners (including stevia) and agri-business soil management techniques with regular use of fertilizers, herbicides and pesticides change the value and nutrient content of food and introduce chemicals that KILL LIFE, in the soil and animals and plants and in us.
• Heredity alters in our nutrient needs and personal tastes. We are trees without roots who have left our ancestral soils and microbes and waters. Your ancestors dietary and planetary location must be considered in determining your food and nutrient needs.
• All health of the planet and all other living things including our bodies is 100% dependent on the planetary and personal MICROBOME. Your microbiome FAR OUTWEIGHS YOUR DNA in determining your health.
• All living things communicate, have consciousness, LOVE. From microbes to trees to birds to fish in the sea, ALL LIVING THINGS HAVE CONSCIOUSNESS AND COMMUNICATE. All LIVING CELLS communicate. We don't listen. It is time to LISTEN. Every living thing feels pain, joy, sadness, but most of all LOVE, from the smallest microbe to the largest tree. Because we assume they do not 'feel' we have learned endless ways to murder Life itself. It is time to wake up, open our eyes and ears and hearts to Life, to Truth.
  
  

  "Humans and other animals with brains perhaps aren't the only beings on the planet to experience consciousness, says a study in the journal EMBO Reports.

  Consciousness instead underpins all life forms, from the smallest cells to the most complex organisms. Far from being limited to creatures like ourselves, the cell-based theory of consciousness frames the phenomenon a fundamental part of life itself.

  Conventional thinking about consciousness—called the standard model of consciousness—focuses on the brain, supposing only complex organisms like humans and animals have it. But the new cell-based theory argues that consciousness started with the very first cells that emerged about 3.8 billion years ago and plants, bacteria and even amoebas have it. https://phys.org/news/2023-12-explores-cell-based-theory-consciousness-entails.html

• We are ONE LIFE. Every cell in your body is connected to every cell in all Life and there, in your body, is your connection to Source. LISTEN TO YOUR BODY. You are connected. Consciousness is not now nor has ever been in your brain.
• The final authority for all health/life choices must be our bodies, not what we think or anyone else thinks. If we thrive we got it right. If we fade, we weren't listening. LISTEN TO YOUR BODY.

A personal nutrition program must fit, as closely as is possible, the clients current life-style. If it requires drastic change, the client will not be able to comply.

Nutrition supplementation can be used to minimize the effects of all forms of stress, viral/bacterial, psychological and stress from injury. Persons recovering from illness, injury or surgery can significantly enhance healing time with food and supplements. Athletes can enhance performance and speed recovery time by educated use of food and supplements.

Most modern degenerative conditions and diseases can be prevented or reversed with adequate REAL food, a diverse and healthy microbiome, sunlight, learning to Rest in Rest (the parasympathetic) and when needed supplements. These conditions include osteoporosis, heart disease, PMS, hypertension, cancer, diabetes, obesity and arthritis, rheumatoid and osteo-arthritis.

Current research shows a healthy and diverse microbiome and if not available in your foods, specific vitamins, minerals, amino acids, omega-3 fatty acids and accessory nutrients can prevent many short and long-term side-effects of prescription medications. A healthy body will eliminate the need for medication. Headaches are not caused by an aspirin deficiency.

With that said, we will all eventually pass from this life and it is my deepest desire we may have lived our lives to the fullest, honoring Life/God and all that are living including one another.

The Offer of Life or Death- Deuteronomy 30

11Now what I am commanding you today is not too difficult for you or beyond your reach. 12It is not up in heaven, so that you have to ask, “Who will ascend into heaven to get it and proclaim it to us so we may obey it?” 13Nor is it beyond the sea, so that you have to ask, “Who will cross the sea to get it and proclaim it to us so we may obey it?” 14No, the word is very near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart so you may obey it.

19This day I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live 20
