Is it really *f l u* season or could it be...

Here we go, my friends!!

It's officially "Sugar Poisoning Season"!

Never heard of that?

Just consider this...

We have Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas (and all those holiday parties...), quickly followed by New Years, Valentine's Day, Easter...we could even add Mothers Day and Fathers Day...

And yet, we simply call it "f l u" season...


Cancer cells have more sugar receptors than healthy cells...

Not only does sugar feed cancer cells, it also shuts down your immune system for 7 hours after you consume it. 

Check your ingredient labels to see how much sugar, or anything ending in -ose, is in what you are ingesting...does your immune system even stand a chance??


Higher blood pressure, inflammation, weight gain, diabetes, fatty liver disease, Alzheimer’s, depression, heart attack, stroke, headaches, irritability, fatigue, anxiety, bloating, hunger. Your brain shrinks. Your skin loses elasticity, making it look stiff...

Refined sugar is 99.4 to 99.7 percent pure calories, with no vitamins, minerals, fats, or proteins – just carbohydrates that spike blood sugar and affect your brain pathways like addictive drugs do…
Just sayin’…


is there really a "f l u" season??

I will let you sit with that for a little bit...

Then, when you are ready to detox your body and reduce that inflammation, let me know. I am here to help you take responsibility for your own health and healing through holistic and spiritual modalities leading to improved quality of life, inner peace and overall wellness.
