Introducing Protandim!

Tuesday, February 9th, 2010

As a Reiki Master/Teacher and Practitioner, I am always on the lookout for new ways to enhance my clients’ health. That’s why I’m so excited about an herbal supplement called Protandim. Why am I so excited about Protandim? It’s the only product on the market that’s been clinically proven to reduce oxidative stress by an average of 40%!*

Yep, I thought the same thing you’re probably thinking. “So what?” Well, oxidative stress is the damage done to our bodies by free radicals, those organic molecules created by environmental factors such as pollution, radiation, cigarette smoke, and herbicides, as well as physical and emotional stress. Now, the resulting oxidative stress doesn’t cause disease, but it does give disease a foothold in the body and, the older we get, the more difficult it is for our bodies to combat the oxidative load. Protandim slows down the rate of cell aging to the level of a 20-year-old!*

Some of the conditions linked to oxidative stress are:

     • Age-related physical and mental deterioration (e.g., Alzheimer’s)
     • Age-related vision loss 
     • Alcoholism
     • Arthritis
     • Cancer (e.g., prostate, lung, and breast cancers)
     • Crohn’s disease
     • Diabetes
     • Glaucoma
     • Heart disease
     • Hepatitis
     • High cholesterol
     • HIV/AIDS
     • Infertility
     • Memory loss
     • Migraine headaches

And the list goes on. For a more extensive list of the conditions linked to oxidative stress, please click here.

I can hear your next question: “Why can’t I just eat foods rich in antioxidants and take antioxidant supplements like Vitamins C and E?” You can, but not in enough quantities to equal what you get with Protandim, which isn’t really an antioxidant anyway. Protandim triggers your body’s cells to produce its own natural defenses, boosting the body’s production of antioxidant enzymes at the cellular level and eliminating free radicals at the amazing rate of one million per second! No foods or vitamins can do that!

Since Alzheimer’s runs in my family, as does cancer and glaucoma, and my aging joints creak and grind more and more each day, I personally am very excited about Protandim and have started to take it myself. I understand fully that this supplement will not cure disease. I am also aware that it will assist my body to maintain optimum health, and that’s what I hope to do. In fact, in just a little over one week, I’m noticing that my tricky right knee hasn’t given out on me nearly as often, and the pain in my right arm from tendonitis has diminished by at least 50%. Can’t wait to see how I feel after a month or two! And, it will be interesting to see at my next eye exam if the pressure in my eyes has lowered (higher pressure, which I have, means greater risk of glaucoma).
 
Talk-show host Montel Williams, who suffers from MS, has been taking Protandim for several years, and has said that Protandim is an integral part of the daily routine he follows. For a couple of testimonials on YouTube, click here and here. Also, keep in mind that everyone responds differently to this supplement. If you’re in good health, you may not feel any different at all after taking Protandim. But you’ll know that you’re keeping your body healthy and strong and in optimum physical condition.

As a matter of fact, I’m so enamored of Protandim that I’m not only taking it, but I have decided to become a distributor of this product. I bet you knew THAT was coming, didn’t you!

If I’ve piqued your curiosity and you want to know a bit more about Protandim, go here to watch an ABC Primetime Special on Protandim and here to view a report on Protandim on the PBS show Healing Quest.

If, after watching the testimonials and the ABC and PBS specials, you’d like more information before you decide to become a customer, or if you’d like to find out about becoming a distributor yourself, let me know. My “teammates” Thomas (Tom) Day and Deanna Washington, the Protandim experts, will be happy to meet with you and answer all your questions. Yes, they’ll even travel out of the San Francisco area, so whether you’re in Sacramento, Los Angeles, or Timbuktu, they’ll come to you!

I’d like to ask a favor. Even if you aren’t interested in Protandim, I’d like you to share this blog with someone you know who might benefit from this supplement. Do you have a relative, friend, or colleague who has Heart Disease? Diabetes? Hepatitis? HIV/AIDS? Arthritis? Or any other condition that is linked to oxidative stress? Do them a favor and send them to this blog. If they have any questions I would love for them to contact me directly.

Thanks so much for your time, and I wish you a healthy, happy, and prosperous 2010.

The 5 Principles of Usui Reiki

Monday, July 20th, 2009

If you are an Usui Reiki practitioner, you are aware of Dr. Usui’s 5 Principles of Reiki. These principles form the foundation of Reiki, encouraging us to live a life of peace and harmony, thereby creating healing of the self and becoming clear and powerful conduits for Reiki energy. These principles do not apply only to Reiki practitioners; they can be followed by everyone.

There are many different translations of the 5 Principles, but all pretty much say the same thing:

Just for today, I will not be angry
Just for today, I will not be worried
Just for today, I will be grateful
Just for today, I will live my life honestly
Just for today, I will be kind to others

I encourage you to choose one of the Reiki Principles each day and live by it.

Today, don’t be angry. Words spoken in anger can never be taken back. Look at that which has caused anger, and find a calmer, more healing way to express your feelings.

Today, don’t be worried. Let go of that which you cannot control. Worry will not resolve the situation, it will only drain you of energy.

Today, be grateful. Life has its ups and downs, yet it is always a miracle. Showing gratitude for what you have allows more abundance to enter your life.

Today, live honestly. It is vital to your own well-being to be honest with yourself, to live from that place of truth within. Do the best you can do today, without a hidden agenda.

Today, be kind to others. Treat every living being, human and non-human alike, with respect and consideration.

If you are not yet a Reiki practitioner, you might want to think about taking the Reiki I class I’m offering on August 22!
