Now you know what I know. After reading about the advances being made relative to our health, I hope you will take advantage of the opportunities presented here. The changes you need to make are not drastic, not really. They simply involve choices.
Now that you know how great you can feel with balanced hormones and the major health benefits of replacement, I’m sure you have already chosen to make an appointment with the doctor nearest you. Using natural hormones is as easy as rubbing cream into your arms or thighs each day.
For those of you who want to go further, you can add supplements, vitamin B injections, and/or HGH injections. I’m sure after reading Dr. Ron Rothenberg’s interview and the section on HGH, you are at least interested. If lack of energy is plaguing you, you were probably turned on by the possibilities that Dr. Michael Galitzer and Dr. Larry Webster are offering to restore energy. Now that you have read how the environment is harming us, you will want to meet with an antiaging doctor to see about ridding your body of these dangerous pollutants.
Soon you will be like me, passing the word to anyone who will listen about the glorious effects of real hormone replacement and the abilities of new doctors to restore energy and reverse aging. This is the way medicine will change—through a grassroots effort. We of this generation are once again leading the way. We don’t want to accept inferior health care. We don’t want to accept anything less than superb quality of life. We don’t want to accept sickness with aging.
As for nutrition, it’s clear that eating real food and choosing organic food, if you can afford it, is the way to go. Real food tastes better and offers greater nutrition. You can still enjoy all your favorite dishes; it’s not as though you are being asked to eat plates full of hay.
Yes, it is harder and harder to eat in restaurants these days because the quality of food is compromised for financial reasons. As consumers, it is important to question your butcher and to ask your favorite restaurant to start serving organic meat, chicken, and fish. Be vocal; it brings results. If you are willing to pay a little more for the sake of your health, the owners will comply. After all, they are in business and do not want to compromise their profits.
Once you get your health in balance, you can finish off any emotional work you still need to do to let go of old angers and resentments, because they cause stress. Find yourself a good therapist to help you accomplish this one. All therapists are not created equal. Sometimes you have to try a couple until you find one with whom you feel comfortable.
By now you realize the dangers of stress. Had I not been able to do the work and find true forgiveness for my alcoholic father, I believe my stress would have made me a very sick woman. I believe my breast cancer had a lot to do not only with the chemicals I was given for birth control, but also the pain and anger of my childhood had to be a factor. I believe I “entombed” that anger in my body until I reached a place in my life where I could handle it. My “tumor” changed my life. It was the wake-up call for just about everything. It put my life into perspective, not only regarding a new approach to my health, but also in terms of giving me a better emotional perspective. I realized that by not forgiving my father’s alcoholism, I was letting the disease win. A brutal childhood takes so much from your life; by not getting to the bottom of that sadness, hurt, and anger with the help of a good therapist, you allow it to continue to take from your life; it negates happiness, and the stress can make you sick. My brutal, violent childhood has turned out to be my gift. I have done the emotional “work” to undo the pain, anger, and resentment I harbored for so long. Doing this work has enhanced my life more than I can describe, and it led me to understanding and true forgiveness. I have come to be grateful for this childhood because it forced me to confront myself and transform my life into a life I love living. If what I project professionally and personally as a public person is something that appeals to you, then everything in this book is what I have done to get to this place.
By looking deeply into who you really are, you will realize that the key to all of this is doing the work to love yourself. Taking care of yourself requires self-love. Without that, you are never going to care if your liver is cleansed or not. People do destructive things to themselves and their bodies when they have no self-love. I know this sounds very 1960s, but think about it. If you really cared for yourself and valued the life you are living, you would not treat your body with such disregard. This could be the key to why you are gaining weight or why you are in such poor health. You can change your attitude, and you can reverse your poor health. But it is going to take some soul-searching to find out why you have never bothered up to this point. The fact that you have read this book means that you are ready. Take it from someone who has done the work. Yes, it is agitating at times to stir up the past, but we have to know where we came from to understand where we are today. That understanding unlocks the answers that you have been hiding from. When you feel clear about the past, the future holds nothing but excitement and joy. As I said in the beginning, good health brings joy, balanced hormones bring joy, and a well-running body brings joy. Emotional health brings joy.
So do the work. Listen to what these doctors are telling you. They have explained the medical answers to fight the damage that has been done to our planet that is affecting each one of us personally. They have given you the key to unlock the answers to the ravages of aging that we are seeing all around us.
This information and these tools are your hope and your chance. We all want to live a long, healthy life and die healthy. Now you know how.
Thank you for taking the time to read what I have to say.
