Life changes

I just have to say that the Lord puts things in your life when you are ready for them. With so many people close to me finding out they have cancer, it has impacted me and made me want to be better and lower my risk and families risk of getting it. In the last couple months I have been able to attend a few classes on health and healing.  I was introduced to Doterra Essential Oils that are a Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade oil, which actually makes them the purest on the market today. (They run extra test beyond what the FDA requires on every batch to make sure they were grown properly with no chemicals, composition, weeds, or even insects mixed in.) They have been a blessing to my families lives.  Learning about why the people started the business gave me knowledge about toxic chemicals in most everyday products that we use (a lot of them are found to cause cancer).  Doterra focuses on purity so we can heal and be healthy with out chemicals or synthetics. We have used them for ear infections, pink eye, thrush, colds, coughs, sinus pressure, sore throat, scrapes, snoring, anxiety, headaches, pain, and I actually make my own all natural deodorant, body wash, and cleaning solutions using the oils. (I will eventually make more things but Im not one to waist things that I have paid money for so as they run out I will make a natural product for it, next on my list is diaper cream and facial moisturizer)  Im actually WAY excited about making my own stuff because 1) I know what is in it (free of toxic chemicals) 2) ITS CHEAPER!!

 Here is the body wash I made.  I got the recipe from this site: http://proverbs2six.blogspot.com/2010/01/homemade-bodywash.html

but I used Castile soap and 15 drops of Doterra Essential Oils (I also double the recipe)

(no thats not milk, lol  its the distilled water jug full of fabulous chemical free body wash.)

It will not lather the same because it does not have the toxic chemical called Sodium Laureth (Laurel) Sulfate that is found in most soaps and shampoos that make them lather. http://www.healthymuslim.com/articles/wqduu-safety-data-sheet-for-sodium-lauryl-sulfate---its-in--your-shampoos-toothpastes-and-handwashes.cfm (just one site with references about SLS)

  No lather doesn't mean its not cleaning!!!

I have also had the opportunity to attend a few cooking classes by the cancer project. (http://cancerproject.org/)   They have given me more information and some of the same info to help prevent cancer.  I get too overwhelmed thinking about how much i would have to change but Im not going to let it consume me.  Im taking it a day at a time and slowly working "healthy cancer fighting meals" in our menu.  

 Top picture is Party Pasta Salad with a green smoothy, bottom picture is Confetti Enchiladas. SOOO YUMMY!  I got the recipe's from http://www.wholefoodmommies.com (They call for whole wheat noodles and tortillas...baby steps)

Believe it or not both Doterra and the Cancer Project have proven that the body can heal itself and can get rid of cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and other diseases.

I am so thankful for what I have been learning and I would love to share more if you are interested in a healthier lifestyle.  I love Doterra Essential Oils so much that I am now doing it as a business and can help you with any heath concern that you may have.
