An attitude shift during holidays

It’s November and I’m sure you’re aware of the upcoming holidays. Holidays have always brought me joy. In the past, I would look up new recipes and try to find my old, tried and true recipes. My mind would be consumed about what to cook and what I was looking forward to eating. For example, my mom makes awesome pecan pie and my dad makes the best dressing and giblet gravy. I knew that the gatherings were important, but honestly, they weren’t the most important thing on my mind. IT WAS THE FOOD!

My healing journey has been long and life changing. I, no longer, look at food as fun or exciting. Now food is just a tool that I use to fuel and heal my body. If it’s not a healing food, then I don’t want to waste my time consuming it. Weird right?

Shifting your focus off of the food allows you to relax a little and enjoy the actual fellowship that your family has to offer. I can do fun things with the kids. I can go outside with the grandkids and play or horse around. I can visit and be a good hostess and have the energy to clean up afterwards without feeling like a stuffed turkey. My joints don’t hurt, and I don’t have to unbutton my pants to get comfortable.

How does one achieve this? Make healthy foods to bring to the party. Last Thanksgiving I cooked the potatoes and gravy, mac and cheese, roasted veggies and wild blueberry pie for dessert. I could have eaten a little turkey if I had wanted but I decided that it didn’t really look that good. I enjoyed my foods and shared them with others. I didn’t stress about the menu or about what others would say or think. I just, simply, enjoyed being with family and friends and enjoyed being healthy and feeling well again.

Take some deep breaths this holiday. Try and start new habits and new traditions. These days are all about the memories and fellowship and NOTHING about the foods themselves.

Virus and cervical spine connection

The deeper I’m taken into this healing journey the more I learn. It amazes me how the human body can compensate throughout our lives and fight for us to the point that we don’t even know we are compromised. I’ve been coming to Upper Cervical Chiropractic of Tulsa since 2015 and my cervical alignment has gone through many changes. These changes are for the better, or course, but they don’t always ‘feel’ better. I can honestly say that my neck and shoulder pain which I suffered for years is 100% gone.

I remember waking up each morning and wondering how I would make it through my day in so much pain. I’m a little stubborn so narcotics were never an option for me but I reached for so many different creams and essential oils and never got true relief. I visited the chiropractor almost weekly, consumed the healing foods that God provided, and followed Medical Medium protocols for supplements and cleansing.

God made me aware that I had a viral component to my illness and through Medical Medium books I discovered that my cervical spine was inflamed due to the shingles virus. Not all shingles’ virus’ have a rash accompanying them and they can be very aggressive and painful. This virus is notorious for entering our spine and attaching itself to our nervous system. Another invader of our spine is toxic heavy metals. Ironically, viruses LOVE to eat toxic heavy metals which compounds the problem. This common combination is important to know in order to be able to address the underlying issues.

When you keep your spine aligned, starve the virus and remove the metals your pain will start to diminish. I know this because I’m living it. I want to be that voice of encouragement and gift you with HOPE. Everyone deserves to heal and nobody deserves to be sick. There is hope for healing. Is it easy? Heck no. Will it happen? YES! In John 10:10 Jesus said HE came to give us an abundant life. Keep this in your thoughts today “My body was created in the image of God and He provides all the tools I need for my physical body to heal itself”. Your body was designed to HEAL.

Aggressive Herpetic Viruses

Hey, hey! It’s Laurie again. In July I blogged about a viral issue I had and I wanted to elaborate on it. Unbeknownst to me, my body has been protecting me from a viral condition all my life. My immune system took a nosedive in 2012 and my viral condition made itself known. It took several years to figure it out but I had every ‘auto-immune’ symptom in the book without any explanations. I had started undergoing upper cervical treatment in 2015 and was seeing improvement but the needle had stopped and I had reached a plateau in my healing. My lymphatic system was inflamed and Dr. Opal and I determined that my body was fighting something. I had gone to many practitioners and would leave without any ‘real’ answers. After visiting with a certified nutritionist in 2017 I listened to a podcast from Anthony William (medical medium)that she had recommended. This is where I learned all about the viral epidemic we live in. After diving into his teachings for several weeks and months I determined that the ‘something’ my body was fighting was an underlying Shingles virus and Epstein Barr virus. Both of these viruses are herpetic and certain strains of these viruses can be very aggressive. When these viruses reach a certain stage they will attack the nervous system. They are usually accompanied by a high heavy metal load which is something they ‘feed’ off. In combination, both metals and viruses will absolutely destroy our nervous system.

These viruses/metals can lead to the following conditions: Trigeminal neuralgia, Scoliosis, Parkinsons, Lupus, Multiple sclerosis, Lymes, Chronic migraines, unexplained pain, arthritis, thyroid disease, brain fog, gout, mood disorders, and the list goes on and on. We will just call them mystery illnesses because modern medicine has no real explanations for them. They treat the symptoms but not the cause. I feel very fortunate to have found Anthony William (medical medium) so that my ‘needle’ was able to move forward through dietary changes and using God’s medicine to help facilitate my healing. Thank goodness God has guided my steps along this path. Between Upper Cervical care, dietary changes with Anthony, and Breakthrough to wellness sessions with Dr. Opal for my emotional and spiritual healing, I am now well on my way to complete recovery.

I now have the privilege of helping others heal from these disorders through my own experience. If you would like to consult with me I’m at the Upper Cervical Chiropractors of Tulsa ofc. in Tulsa, OK. I would love to visit!

Repairing My Neurological System

Hey, hey! It’s Laurie again. I blogged in March about my neurological system under attack by a viral condition. I want to dive into that much deeper. In this day and age, our society is exposed to so many pathogens. Some are viral and some are bacterial or fungal. How we get exposed to these pathogens can vary. Most of the time the pathogens are passed down from our parents through blood etc… or we drink after someone or swap slobbers with someone that is infected. We also undergo routine medical ‘procedures’ when we are babies and all through school that has live viruses involved. Nonetheless, they are here and we get to deal with them. When viruses have the opportunity to grow for a while they eventually attack our nervous system. Their bi-product is very toxic to our system and our nerves become super sensitive and weak. The nervous system will eventually start miscommunicating and deterioration will likely occur. If left untreated we will have persistent pain that will follow us throughout our lifetime, as well as, numbness/tingling/weakness, and sometimes we may get a ‘hopeless’ diagnosis like Multiple Sclerosis or Lupus. All of this is due to a viral condition. The virus that is usually responsible is the Epstein Barr virus. That is another deep subject that I will blog about on another day. (Nov. 2021)

The symptoms that I spoke of in my March blog that followed my upper cervical corrections were dizziness, weakness in extremities, and just overall ‘weirdness’. This was due to too many toxins being released secondary to the correction. This is a comfortable process for someone with a minimal viral load but when someone has a high viral load their body will be more sensitive. Upper Cervical care is gentle and when used in combination of antivirals and cleansing foods it will gradually move the needle in your healing. It will help reconnect and repair your damaged nervous system. So those of you that feel sick or uneasy after any kind of detoxing method like upper cervical care, massage therapy, raindrop therapy, lymph drainage, or even acupuncture just remember that less is more and that you may have an underlying viral infection. I hope this message was able to help someone and ‘fill in’ a missing piece. God Bless!

My First Upper Cervical Correction

Hey, Hey! My name is Laurie and I’m the Nurse Coach here at Upper Cervical Chiropractic of Tulsa. I’m sitting here remembering my early visits to the office and how my body was so depleted and my neurological system was so weak and disconnected. After received my first correction from Dr. Opal the room started spinning for a few moments. She allowed me to rest in their resting area before I left and I remember the next day I was so sore and ‘off’. My legs were like butter and I couldn’t walk very far without having to sit down. It was scary because, at the time, I didn’t understand what was going on. My fear came flooding in and I just knew something bad had happened and that something was terribly wrong. I felt lead to keep my appointments and just keep going and eventually, the symptoms calmed down and my fears were alleviated. Dr. Opal would pray over me during every correction and she would reassure me that my body was healing. This was 5 years ago, and today I can look back and see how my neurological system was trying to repair itself. How oxygen was flooding into areas that had been depleted and how my brain and nervous system were reconnecting. Along this journey, we discovered that I had a high viral load and it was attacking my nervous system. I will discuss this in more detail in my next blog (July 2021). Some of the things I have been incorporating to facilitate my healing are natural whole foods and taking out the foods that nourish the viruses. I keep my regular upper cervical appts. and have done some emotional healing as well. I have recovered from multiple symptoms and I am well on my way to complete recovery. woohoo!
