Veterans Day 2022

Liz James · November 12, 2022 ·

Thank you Veterans! We love and appreciate you….. I am blessed to have so many of you in my circle of life (these pics are just a few!) . You all have given so much, and our country wouldn’t be the Home of the Free without you. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ May your service never be in vain.

Biblical Citizenship

Liz James · August 19, 2022 ·

Good morning friends! Terry Billups and I will be starting our 6th round of Biblical Citizenship Class๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ on Sunday, August 28th.
ย 
When: Sundays from 6:30-8:00pm August 28th thru Oct 16th! Start and finish before the holiday season!
ย 
Where: from the comfort of wherever you are located!
ย 
Why do I do this? (Good question…. I’m certainly busy enough already!) Though I was first drawn to stepping in to make a difference in our health and wellness world, it quickly became very clear that just like all diseases….. the terrain is more the problem than the actual germ. As a country, we have to get our “terrain” back on track again, and that can’t be done by ignoring the root cause and “pathology” of why we are where we are now.
ย 
Total class time investment is 16 hours…. an hour and a half weekly for 8 weeks. The return on your investment is priceless! (I promise! … you’ll never look at history, our country, or your civic responsibilities the same again. In other words, if you want to keep your head buried in the ever deepening sand, DON’T take this class ๐Ÿ˜‰).
ย 
Cost: Free
ย 
Cost for not taking the class: continual loss of freedom (Together we rise).
“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge; because you have rejected knowledge, I reject you from being a priest to me. And since you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children. ” ~ Hosea 4:6 ๐Ÿ‘†Let’s not be THOSE people.
ย 
Here’s a link to register for the class! We look forward spending this priceless time with you. https://www.patriotacademy.com/coach/register/4718

History of Sacred Frankincense

Liz James · May 10, 2022 ·

History tells us our story. I love when Biblical truths line up with my day to day living. Sacred Frankincense is just a little more sacred to me after reading Dr. Cole Woolley’s post. Sacred Frank is part of my DIY face serum recipe. I have always felt a kindred spirit with Noah and his wife๐Ÿ™๐Ÿฅฐ. Our farm is named Ararat Acres (named after the mountain the ark came to rest upon after the flood, and where all the animals were released. ) It felt so right when we named our farm 27 years ago, and it still does.๐Ÿ™Œ
ย 
Sacred Frank…. do some research on this VIP oil and then don’t be afraid to use it! It doesn’t work in its beautiful ways if it sits in a bottle on the shelf!

What Sacred Frankincense Means to Me โ€“ Grandsons of Noah
You may be a bit surprised about the story I tell today. The people who harvest Sacred Frankincense are pure descendants of the grandsons of Noah.
Ali Ahmed Al-Shahri documented in his book โ€œThe Language of Aadโ€ regarding the tribal origins of the Sacred Frankincense oleogum-resin harvesters. Noahโ€™s son Shem had a 2nd great grandson name Joktan (Noah-Shem-Arphaxad-Shelah-Eber-Joktan). Joktan had 12 sons who settled the perimeter of the Arabian Peninsula (present day Oman, Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and United Arab Emirates) along the Red Sea, Gulf of Aden, Arabian Sea, Gulf of Oman and Persian Gulf.
Ali Ahmed has documented that three of Joktanโ€™s sons settled in present day Oman in the Dhofar Mountains surrounding Salalah, Oman. These 3 tribes: Uzal, Ophir and Jerah and their childrenโ€™s subtribes are stewards over the Dhofar Mountains and harvesting Sacred Frankincense. They donโ€™t own the land, but their right to farm, harvest frankincense, and graze animals is dependent on tribal lineage.
It is thought that tribal boundaries are marked by tetralith markers โ€“ acting as tribal agreements for land boundaries. I have photographed many of these ancient tetraliths that are found in the high deserts where only wind and sand slowly deteriorate them.
These three tribes of Joktan make up present-day Shahra and Mahra language tribes in Western Oman and adjoining Eastern Yemen. These are the harvesters of Sacred Frankincense for the past 5000 years.
Ali Ahmed Al Shahri wrote a book โ€œThe Language of Aadโ€. Aad was a 1st Great Grandson of Noah (Noah-Shem-Aram-Uz-Aad).

Imagine how different our lives might be if we didn’t have the US Constitution. Our personal health is very much dependent upon the health of our country.
Make today a great one!

Health Clues from Low Body Temperature – part 2

Liz James · February 15, 2022 ·

In the mid-1800โ€™s, a German physician by the name of Carl Wunderlich measured the temperature๐ŸŒก of about twenty five thousand people and found that the average body temperature was 98.6 degrees F (37 degrees C).
ย 
Each one of us is a product of our internal, external, and emotional environment. Our personal histories (including generationally) have a way of defining us. Roughly twenty years after Dr. Wunderlich established 98.6F๐ŸŒก as the human baseline body temperature, the Second Industrial Revolution began. Railroads, new technologies including electricity, telegraph, telephones, โ€œBig Oilโ€, and later, Big Pharma each had a tremendous impact on our ancestors. As decades passed, the environmental toxin load continued to increase. The Third Industrial Revolution began in the 1960โ€™s and brought us electronics, processed foods, telecommunications, digital technology, biotechnology, nuclear energy, automobiles, more stress and more Big Pharma. The current effects of all of these revolutionary products may have made life (arguably) easier but made us sicker in the process. We are currently the sickest generation in modern history. In 2017, a study of thirty five thousand people found that the average body temperature๐ŸŒก is now 97.9 F.
ย 
Perhaps we shouldnโ€™t be as worried about global warming as we should be worried about human cooling.๐Ÿ™„๐Ÿง๐Ÿคจ๐Ÿค”
ย 
Chronic low core body temperature๐ŸŒก can create a false sense of wellness, also making it hard to mount a defense in the form of a fever if needed. A fever is an active corrective process in the body. To quote Dr. Jernigan, โ€œ Blood that is overcooled from a cool core temperature is too thick to efficiently carry oxygen and the vital lung capacity is reduced leading to shallow breathing. This means that the oxygen to carbon dioxide exchange rate in the lungs is minimal. Now, combine the [slow] degenerative effects of the oxygen deprivation and the cold temperature and the fact that all of this and the overgrowth of microbes [review last weekโ€™s post] promote an acidic environment and you have greatly accelerated cellular degeneration and the [eventual] onset of disease.โ€
ย 

๐ŸŒกTracking Body Temperature๐ŸŒก

ย 
Tracking body temperature is super easy with a basic thermometer.
Measure temperature upon morning wake up before getting out of bed (ideally between 6-8am). This will be your core body temperature that is not influenced by food, drink, or activity. Take your temperature again at night sometime between 8-10pm after youโ€™ve been sitting or resting for about 30 minutes.
ย 
Track the difference between the morning and evening temperatures. There should be a difference of at least 0.9degrees F.
ย 
Ultimately, you are looking at two things (clues):
ย 
1๏ธโƒฃIs body temperature daily average close to 98.6?
2๏ธโƒฃDoes the body allow its temperature to fluctuate from cool in the morning to warmer in the evening?

Temperature Too Cool?

If your body temperature trends towards โ€œcoolnessโ€, try incorporating some of these suggestions into your daily life:
ย 
๐Ÿ”ŽHave you had lab work to rule out a physiological issue? Labs you may want to request include a full thyroid panel (TSH, T3, T4, Reverse T3, TPOab), saliva cortisol, DHEA, and hormones, CBC/CMP
ย 
๐Ÿ”ŽIdentify any medications that might be affecting body temperature. Common culprits include beta blockers (blood pressure meds), antidepressants, sedatives, and other mood altering medications. Often, lifestyle changes, holistic (mind,body, spirit) care, and natural alternatives may reduce or eliminate the need for all of these. It requires ownership of oneโ€™s own body to do the work to identify and mediate the reason for the need. Hard stuff? Yes. Never doubt for a second that you are not worthy of doing the work to make it happen.
ย 

๐Ÿ”ŽWhat might mind, body, and spirit care look like? To each person it will look a little different because of our individual uniqueness.

ย 
๐Ÿ‘‰Jump start metabolism. A sluggish metabolism may simply need movement and exercise. Hot/cold therapy is another way to stimulate metabolism. I wrote about cryotherapy in the topic devoted to dopamine deficiency. Do you see the connection?
๐Ÿ‘‰Prayer and meditation relieve stress. Both activities also activate certain parts to the brain that control attention and autonomic functions such as blood pressure and metabolism. This is not an โ€œAmen, Dig in.โ€ type of prayer, rather developing a deep rooted connection with God in quiet and solitude. The studies on this are fascinating.
๐Ÿ‘‰Music influences physiological variables such as blood pressure, heart rate, immune and endocrine functionโ€ฆ.. and body temperature. Body temperature tends to rise when listening to music, particularly when listening to classical or specific frequency based music. Look for a company called Wholetones (founded by Michael Tyrrell) for more information on healing music.
๐Ÿ‘‰Infrared saunas and biomats. While they have multiple health benefits, for the sake of this particular discussion, they work to help the body โ€œheat upโ€. Think of them as โ€œtraining wheelsโ€ for 98.6.
๐Ÿ‘‰Outdoor time on the regular. Bonus points for pairing this with exercise!
๐Ÿ‘‰Dry brushing for improved lymphatic flow. A healthy lymphatic system is crucial in the toxin elimination process. If you are not already adding a drop or two of Young Livingโ€™s Lemon Vitality essential oil into your water (use a glass, ceramic, or stainless steel cup) start now for daily gentle lymphatic system support.
๐Ÿ‘‰Removing toxins from daily life. I cannot stress this enough. Our bodies are dropping in temperature because of daily cumulative exposure to toxins. We can detox all day every dayโ€ฆ. But if we continue to add in toxins as fast as we detox, there is no end in sight. Medications (tho occasionally needed) are a toxin by definition. Knowing this is one of the biggest reasons Iโ€™m such a strong advocate for finding a healthier way whenever possible. Additionally, a healthy body temperature starts with a toxin free home. Have you ditched the chemicals yet? Young Livingโ€™s Thieves Household cleaner and Thieves Kitchen and Bath Scrub fulfill all cleaning needs, and support healthy immune function in the process. Crank up your diffuser and ditch the fragrance plug inโ€™s. There are a million crazy good smelling possibilities as you make your own signature diffuser blends. My favorite right now is Young Livingโ€™s Believe essential oil blend and Lushious Lemon (oh my!). Soaps, skincare, cosmetics, perfumesโ€ฆ.. All of these generally are loaded with toxins and Young living has safe, toxin free alternatives. We simply cannot afford NOT to use them.
๐Ÿ‘‰Chiropractic care. Chiropractic manipulation supports nervous system function and regular chiro care may ultimately help a thyroid, adrenal or other underlying physiological dysfunction.
๐Ÿ‘‰Learning to release emotions and attitudes that donโ€™t serve your body. Unhappy, uninspired, dissatisfied, dull, and passive living (ie: life happens to you, you donโ€™t make life happen) are all associated with lower body temperatures. Live life fully and engaged. Nobody can steal that from you. It is a personal choice regardless of circumstance.
๐Ÿ‘‰Raindrop. Have you received one yet? If not, find someone who can give you one. Better yet, get the Raindrop Technique Collection and begin learning with a buddy. There are comprehensive instructions included in the kit.
๐Ÿ‘‰Detoxification of the body is not a โ€œonce and doneโ€ process. Itโ€™s a lifestyle. Make sure your gut is moving proficiently. Probiotic Life 9 (MightyPro for the kiddos), ICP Daily, and digestive enzymes (such as Essentialzymes-4, Detoxzyme, Essentialzyme, Allerzyme, or Mightyzyme kids chewables) may be integral tools for optimal gut health support for the motility or toxin challenged individual.
๐Ÿ‘‰Support the adrenal glands as needed. Endogize capsules or Endoflex essential oil blend are two highly supportive tools.
๐Ÿ‘‰โ€œHot oilsโ€ have their place too in supporting a healthy bodyโ€™s temperature. Consider applying these oils to the bottoms of your feet daily as a supportive measure: Thieves, Mountain Savory, Nutmeg, Oregano, Rosemary, Thyme (notice how many of those are in the Raindrop protocol!)
ย 
Consider this. Raising core body temperature by 2 degrees positively influences immune system activity by up to 40%. This is why having a low grade fever when you are fighting off something isnโ€™t a bad thing and it isnโ€™t a good idea to suppress a low fever.๐Ÿค“
Iโ€™ll leave you with this. Make 98.6 F great again, and improve your overall health! ๐Ÿ™Œ ๐ŸŒก
If you have lived with a low body temperature for years, be aware that your body will need retraining, and that doesnโ€™t happen overnight. This kind of clue scene takes awhile to clean up. It may take a year or longer of daily care before the body is able to begin correcting the impact of chronic low temperature. Patience and baby steps, but I promise it will be worth it!
