Emotional Nutrients, “The care and feeding of your Mind, Body, and Spirit”


"We are spiritually and vibrationally induced, chemically and electrically driven and biologically carried out." ~ Guy Devin PhD

A hard concept to understand is that primarily we are not our bodies. We inhabit these bodies in hopes of living an abundant fulfilled life. A vessel navigating the high seas of work, relationships, school, culminating in our manifest personal experience.

Along our travels the bodies we inhabit accumulate barnacles, slime, algae, which cause our bodies to be in a constant state of maintenance not unlike literally being on a boat. We have to keep it clean and filled with fuel, supplies, tools to navigate and a vast array of communication equipment to find our way to the vast ports of call that is life.

It is our emotions that provide that inner guidance and act as our communication center. How we feed these emotions will by and large determine our outcomes. The 55 million plus cells that make up this vessel are constantly eaves dropping on our every thought, morsel of food, and experiences we are having.

Ancient cultures have known this information for thousands of years. Living in harmony with their environment.  We have come along way especially in the last short one hundred years. We have explored and conquered so many frontiers yet we can't seem to agree on how to manage all the tidal waves of information, food, and lifestyles. 

Sustaining and building Year Long Immunity


The ubiquitous enemy

Perhaps you never realized that our immune systems are under constant attack by various microbes such as:

Worms (helminthes) tapeworms, filaria
Protozoan’s trypanosomes, leishmania, malaria
Fungi Candida, aspergillus
Bacteria, Bacteroides, Staphylococcus, Streptococcus and mycobacteria
Viruses, polio, poxviruses, influenza, hepatitis B, HIV

Not only do we have to worry about the above micro organisms… we have stress, poor food choices/GMO foods, the air we breath, the water we drink, external environmental factors, and oh yeah EMF’s (electromagnetic fields).

What is the average person to do?

I know this sounds bleak and yet there are many things we can do to protect ourselves from this on slot of issues that may render our immunity sterile.  We must first take responsibility for our life style this is the one thing we have absolute control over. The first and most important aspect in our lifestyle has to be our source of food. Eating organically whenever possible, consuming colorful fruits and vegetables, and making choices for locally grown foods are the building blocks to a healthy lifestyle. Limit meat consumption and focus on grass fed meats when ever available.
