Educated and Inspired

Last week I didn't post because we were out of the area for a weekend conference for Hubbs. We got to meet Chiropractors from all around the world and we got to learn about more elements of being healthy and living to the best of our capability. 

Health is such an important part of life and vitality. Taking care of our bodies is not only a base element for our religion but also in the general public's goal of living as long as possible. Everyone is separated into three categories. 

The first being those who know and want to learn more. They also want to do what ever they can to be completely healthy, also known as, "crunchy". These people know about the importance of home grown fruits and veggies, grass fed animals used for human consumption, Coconut oil and all the different ways to use it as a more natural moisturizer and cleanser. 

The second type is those who know and have heard about the importance of eating healthy and care, but don't really change many of their habits. Usually they can't let go of their "conventional" foods that have GMO and pesticide changing the structure of our daily meals. They usually cut down on the pre-processed foods at the very beginning. 

The third type is those who don't know and don't care what they eat. Usually you can find these in fast food restaurants multiple times a week and when not found there, they eat pre-processed frozen meals. This type is usually overweight, unhappy, with several health issues and lots of pain in their joints that they either are highly aware of and use as an excuse, or they don't pay attention to pain at all and have mass inflammation issues. 

We are working to be fully engaged in the type one category. There are so many alarming stories we have heard about the food we eat and how it changes our DNA for generations. We are learning about how "diseases" are possible and likely, but often over exaggerated by those ignorant to this information, causing and over diagnosed and mis-interpreted by society. We are working on getting more exercise on a daily basis and eating less during a meal, but eating more frequently to keep hunger at bay. The more I do to try and lose my weight the more I seem to gain and it's frustrating for me and confusing. 

Having cancer issues at a young age, I have become aware of this importance younger than most of my peers in high school. Now we are involved in a group of peers that are more knowledgable than we are and learn from them about taste as well. We have decided that with all this knowledge and understanding we need to start over and have a fresh start if you will. We are doing a detox cleanse to completely clear our body of all the gunk that has built up and creating blockages. We also just invested in a fancy new blender. It's like the Vita-mix one but the original designers at a cheaper price. I am excited because I can make so many fun things and not have to worry about jamming the machine or overheating it like a cheap blender from Wal-mart or Target. 

We have been using this to blend more veggies into drinks and make our consumption of veggies much higher. I can mix in different ingredients to help with eliminating cancer cells and free radicles like Kale, Chia seeds and more. With my most recent experience of symptoms coming up again, I have figured out it was time to get things moving forward with my health vs our adoption. I have put everything in our life on hold. I talked to my doctor and started tests. There has been several moments where I have determined that there is a mass that will most likely need surgery and that it could be cancerous. We are trying to plan accordingly but bottom line is we really want to know. I have called my doctor several times since all the testing has been done and there is still no response. 

I am fed up with that so I took my scan copies to a Chiropractic Radiologist who will have a report written up for me within the next few days hopefully.  We still don't know what is going on or any results for sure. I know we have had a load of friends and family asking about what is going on and how I am feeling. Truth is, I don't know. I don't know anything. I take it day by day and sometimes I feel amazing, others I feel pain and just want to lay down and not do anything. There are also days where I am wanting to be fully engaged with people and have fun being around them, others I just don't want to talk about it and want to be alone. I have nothing new to say to anyone and it kind of gets me down sometimes when I think about the different issues going on that others don't understand. I am doing the best I can with what I have available to me. Yes, it's not fair or acceptable. I can't change this right now. 

I am not ignoring your messages and phone calls, I just have a lot of them and I am trying to distract myself right now so that I can stay in the right mindset for myself. Please be understanding that I do want to talk to you, I just need some time. Thanks for your patients, your love, support, prayers, kindness, we really appreciate it. Stay posted for weekly updates on what's going on. As we know more, we will let you all know. Till then keep smiling!
