Life is not always a smooth ride. The fact of the matter is, that in simply living, we can expect to be faced with many challenges that will push us well beyond our comfort zone. For one person it might be a relationship break-up; for someone else a traumatic accident; maybe a disease diagnosis; a job loss; or perhaps a sudden realisation of living another's truth and not our own?
How about you? What is YOUR unique turning point?
No matter the trigger, our real challenge is in recognising that we get to choose our response to anything that life throws at us. Not only that, but we can learn to live one step ahead of the game and prevent a spiral down before it occurs. This happens when we start to live with conscious intention. We make lifestyle decisions that are good for our body; choose life paths that stimulate and express our passion; we know when human relationships are not supporting our growth and recognise that our choices are our own to make. Why wait until we are physically sick or mentally and emotionally overwhelmed before we make the changes we really need?

They are one way we can start acknowledging that our food has the power to be our medicine.

One distinct turning point for change for me was when I lost my mum to secondary breast cancer in 2007, aged 69. This was despite her embracing the best of what orthodox treatments had to offer.
She was not just my mum, she was my best friend. Her premature loss created a void that I had to fill with understanding. It created a passionate motivation to research the most powerful natural lifestyle habits which have the potential to keep us disease free.
I discovered that there are many ways we contribute to our wellbeing or our demise. Diet can be an obvious factor, but emotional stress less known. Living authentically and on purpose can support good health, whilst living only to please others can result in immune dysfunction. Who could have guessed our mind, body and spirit are equally responsible for our physical wellbeing?
I also discovered that people cure themselves everyday of serious disease, by simply understanding their needs, removing fear of change and making the choice to choose a pro-active LIFE .
My hope and intention is to share strategies which help us all to live longer, healthier and happier lives.

When one is happy, they are more productive and positive. We all know how a smile can be contagious! Well we need more happy, smiley, optimistic people in the world and there is a way to become more consistently positive, no matter what circumstances we find ourselves in. When we align with living a more meaningful existence, magic begins to happen because we generate more positive expectation. This is such an underestimated requirement for living cancer free. We start to realise that no matter how much pain we get exposed to, (mental or physical), it is our choice if we suffer or if we grow from the experience. When we suffer we get stuck in negative emotion and become blinded to the opportunities that could raise ourselves up and out of the state we are in, so we stay there for longer than we should. When we grow, we learn, we evolve. The insight that develops helps guide and support better choices in the future and opens our hearts and minds to amazing possibilities. Like attracts like!
Central to living a natural cancer prevention lifestyle, is to respect the natural system that supports us. We live in a material modern world, one that currently is too dismissive of the reliance we have on maintaining a healthy earth. Many people still wish to control the Earth rather than be sustainable stewards of her precious bounty.
“Only when the last tree has died and the last river been poisoned and the last fish been caught will we realise we cannot eat money.” Native American Cree Indian saying.
Our highly consumerist lifestyles are taking their toll on our natural environment. Economic development has taken pride of place rather than Nature. This prioritisation is back to front and the fallout of this has led to Climate Change that threatens our very lives. And to the skeptics I say that global warming is a natural phenomena yes, but it is not natural to progress as rapidly as it has since the industrial age...it is human activity which has unbalanced the rate of progression.
In its most simplest form it doesn’t take more than commonsense to understand that if you keep clearing forest (trees breathe in carbon dioxide) and keep producing it then you are going to speed up greenhouse gases building up in our atmosphere. You would think we'd have at least stopped deforrestation? No. Here in Australia in just one state alone over the last 2 years, three quarters of a million hectares has been bulldozed as stated by Government figures.
Toxic chemicals are contaminating our air, soil, water supplies and our own bodies. They are effecting natural systems and particularly causing loss of amphibians, insect life, fungi and general soil biota- all of these elements are small but essential in the web of life. People often disregard certain life forms based on insignificant size, but it turns out that some of the smallest creatures have the biggest effect on the health of our environment. Take earthworms as an example, they are highly sensitive to chemical inputs and their role is to simply create fertile topsoil! Who needs that? We do of course.
Bees are another example...they are threatened by the use of commonly used herbicides, pesticides and fungicides, but particularly the use of those classified as neonicotinoids. Can we risk losing our bee population when they pollinate all our food producing plants?
As our environment degrades, so too does our own health. The more ailments we develop, the more we fear illness. When we are fearful we act hastily rather than thoughtfully and seek the quick bandaid solution offered by orthodox medicine.
Orthodox treatments have their place, particularly in the case of surgical interventions for accident and injury and value to isolate diagnosis. The trouble is that the system is broken. Doctors are stretched far too thinly and often do not have the time to explore all the possible causal factors that could be contributing to patients ailments.
Unfortunately, the flipside to this, is that in many cases patients don’t wish to have their lifestyle examined and would prefer to be prescribed a pill as a quick fix.
The time has come to reclaim faith in our own wisdom to know what our body needs to experience wellness. Nature has everything our body needs to heal itself. So many diseases we suffer from can be healed simply by a lifestyle change and a basic understanding of plant based medicine.
Synthetic drugs are beginning to create more illness from side-effects, than curing the diseases they were intended to heal. In-fact, most are prescribed not to heal the disease, but to simply manage symptoms...so a dependency develops which of course pharmaceutical companies absolutely love! Motivation? Money.
Everything is interconnected...our attitude, our health, our choices and the well-being of Mother Earth and her inhabitants. It exists in an inter-connective dependency. We cannot live in isolation from the natural world happily. We may think we can if it is a lifestyle grown accustomed to, but even when we live in a built up man made city environment, people always seek solace in a green parkland oasis or a serene stroll along the seashore. There exists an energetic exchange in nature which renews our spirit and provides clarity of mind.
Here are some of the best habits and attitudes that will help change your life and create more health and happiness.
Chemicals are damaging our environment. They poison our water supplies; pollute our soil; contaminate our air and damage the health of all species on this planet.
Mother Nature! Wow, isn't she wonderful? Is it random coincidence that humanity finds itself living upon a planet which not only allows us to exist, but to thrive?
Compost worms are a fantastic way to cut down on the amount of waste you send to landfill and create beautiful organic fertiliser for your garden and pot plants while you do it!
