I am Writing a Book!!!

The past year my life has changed so much my head spins. I am not alone. Overnight, 70 percent of my diet and the foods I loved were no longer something I could enjoy. I have some things to say, to vent, to teach, and to search out. I have a story that is one among thousands. I am on a mission to find a cure, to find a way to combat this and drive it out of me. The thing that rocked my world: alpha-gal mammal allergy! It is mind boggling! I have had menopause food sensitivities, hormone food sensitivities, and more, but nothing like this nasty thing.

I am writing a book to help those with food allergies and sensitivities find healing and positivities in what they can eat. I am writing a book to let others know they are not alone. I am writing a book to bring to light something that we think cannot be dealt with. I am writing a book to drive home the message to restaurants, activity coordinators, friends, and family members to be aware and make options for these people. Life is tough when we cannot eat anything and have to ask about the ingredients everywhere we go or bring our own food everywhere; it is humiliating, embarrassing, maddening, and exhausting. I have stories of establishments (will be named in my book), who went out of their way to create a menu item for me because I chose to ask! The more I ask the more I find that people will make something work for me. I have been humbled in my frustrations.

I am writing a book to shove the fears out and pull in our internal strengths. I am writing a book to show the Father of all does have our best interest and will make a way for us when we act on His core voice, for it is His voice that has given me life where I thought I had lost and had no way out.

I AM WRITING A BOOK. Follow my blogs and teachings and updates.

By the way. I am using all my modalities and knowledge and connections to find this cure for Alpha-gal mammal allergy. Explore my web page for what I do. Also, watch for Pinterest to see the cookbook I am beginning and the video blogs I am beginning to make on this very “sensitive” (pun intended) subject. 🙂

Live well, Be well, Listen to your intuition.

More Alpha-Gal Research

I am very excited to find this research article (and yes, I read every bit of it slowly and carefully) after many months on a mission to find a cure for this ghastly thing called alpha-gal- many of my friends are afflicted with this, myself included. I have had it about a year, but only discovered what it was about six months ago. I immediately was on my knees asking the Father to lead me to figure this out or be led to the people he has on the same path. Before I came across this article, I was at the conclusion that there is more to this allergy than meets the eye, that it has to be a parasite, that it is a gut issue in the lining or tissues, and that the core is the place to kill it. I found this article to be on the same path in its questions of conclusion. I am contacting these doctors and setting up sessions to talk to them about being on the team of explorers to find the cause and cure. Pray with me and all who are in this cause and mission.

Separate the Wheat from the Tares

Obadiah… wow! And then we have Abraham Lincoln’s Lyceum Address in 1838, a prophecy for what has occurred in this nation, a nation chosen by Yahweh and now dying from within not from without. Coexisting with “tares” (evil) never succeeds nor ever becomes more peaceful; it is always less and less peaceful. Tares are false grain, zizanion, resembling wheat in every way except the seed; the seed is black and poison. (II Corinthians 11:14)

Now look up the address (link above) and read it carefully. Love is one thing, loving one another is not coexisting with evil. Love is changing evil to good, and saying no when it wants to come into your world (church, workplace, etc) with its agendas. We have to work with and school with the “world’s” junk but are not supposed to allow it to be heard or rule. Period.
Wheat Field
Quote from friend, “And health wise we have an ever increasing issue with wheat in this world. Makes you ponder how prophecy extends into all aspects of life to touch everything…..M has an epipen her reaction is so bad. She is allergic to most of the grasses here.”

MY response, “it is a gut issue, and the gut is the voice of God, plus the physical core of all our entire system. This is a fact. This is how I lead people to healing and myself as well, by getting to the core and ridding the cause, the tare, from the core, so that it cannot reproduce and become worse to death. This is a process you can combat and heal from. Begin to ask for the spirit to guide you, then begin to read all you can about the gut, and read about the lining of the stomach, and read about the tares in the bible and the physical ways the tares get in and cause issues. Begin to wipe it out from the inside out. Begin to rely on the Father as the primary physician, completely, trusting experimentation without the pharma/crooked doctor influence. Find a solid functional/integrative doctor who has this knowledge of process and elimination and healing, and faith as a top priority. You can turn it around.”
Wheat in July
There is only one way! There is only one God: the Almighty Elohim. We cannot be led by man and The Almighty, but only one: and only one has life.

I believe that the biggest reason there are wheat sensitivities (such as myself this year even though I ate clean all my life) are from the wheat being mixed with the tares so much that the tares and wheat can hardly be identified as different, BUT the tares will always be poison and always weaken the wheat where they are allowed to be. I grew up with wheat farmers and my Dad told me how much harder it was to get the tares out compared to when he was a kid, etc…

THIS IS SPIRITUAL, not physical. If we followed the Creator’s law to the letter, took care of the earth as we were directed, the tares would never have a chance (try but never come in). Our people (the believers) have allowed every “christian” belief system to be ok and accepted into the “body”, and every doctrine be deemed tolerable, and every lifestyle be acceptable, and every dirty joke be just a joke, and every kind of clothing style and hair style be a “phase or personality”, and every doctor and pharmacist be a god, and every judge and leader walk on red carpet, and, and, the list can go on. This is all a disgrace and embarrassment to each and every one of us. We have allowed political correctness to live out its definition: “fruit of the silencing of the opposition of the tare.”

Reason Two

Reason two that this helped me:

I have had a hard time going out to eat, or buying groceries, with the limitations I have. I have had to read every label, and I mean every label, even the organic ones and the supplements (kosher gelatin is beef so I can only use capsules that are vegetarian), and so many other things that have mammal products. I cannot eat real yogurt, ice cream, sour cream, cream, milk, cheese, etc….and it is the hardest food thing I have ever done. Sweets have been a big issue for me also; I do not eat many but the ones I enjoy are now a no. I have to find sweets that have no soy, dairy, wheat, or mammal. I am wheat,

I cannot eat real yogurt, ice cream, sour cream, cream, milk, cheese, etc….and it is the hardest food thing I have ever done. Sweets have been a big issue for me also; I do not eat many but the ones I enjoy are now a no. I have to find sweets that have no soy, dairy, wheat, or mammal. I am wheat, almond, and egg white free also from hormonal changes, but that is iodine and other things and I will get over that soon (those have nothing to do with the alpha-gal, but the balances in my body). I have to buy gluten-free even though I am not gluten free because nothing is just wheat free. Fortunately, I grind my own flour and make my own bread and can use spelt, barley, and other grains with gluten and bread is good. (if YOU have been told you are gluten intolerant, please do yourself a favor and have a food allergy panel to see if it really is gluten or just wheat…it is worth the effort).

ANYWAY, the point is I have been guided to so many places and found so many things I CAN EAT, and that is encouraging 🙂 I am healthy and feeling fine, but I do not want to stay this way. I WILL HOWEVER stay as positive as possible and keep to programs like www.faithfulworkouts.com and Pinterest, where I can find so many good things to eat without having to stress, and feed my entire family (who are not limited) without stress

Reason Number One

Last night I shared an article that was really encouraging to me. Today I’d like to share one of the reasons the article really helped me.

I recently acquired a terrible thing called alpha-gal….it is a tick-borne protein in the blood of mammals and ticks, that causes humans not to be able to eat anything mammal. I have had this for about a year but did not really figure out it was alpha-gal until the past few months. I have not told anyone much because it has rocked my world and taken me time to really ingest what I have and research it out.

I have decided that I do not believe this is a “protein” but rather a “parasitical protein”> I am on a BIG mission to find a cure. I know I will find it despite the labs and doctors saying there is nothing that can be done except elimination for life. I am unwilling to live without dairy and mammal foods for the rest of my life, or even the next year. I am totally faithful that the Father will allow me to find a way through this and help the world with the cure.

If you all know of anything that can enhance my learning, please send. Do not send links or media or whatever else, but rather personal learning from solid sources that has helped you or a loved one. I am on a program right now to see if it will lead to a cure.

Live for the moment? Maybe not

this was my encouragement today 🙂 love being a member of this faithful team.

Inspirational & Informational Article for Week 17:
written by Michelle Spadafora

Live for the moment? Maybe not.

If you struggle to make healthy choices when it comes to food (and you’re not alone), here’s what I want you to try. When offered something unhealthy, I want you to stop and ask yourself some questions. Ask yourself if the choice you’re making will cause you to feel guilty later. Will it lead to you beating yourself up for hours? Will it bring you into a mindset of shame and a belly that aches?

We’ve conditioned ourselves to view certain foods as “rewarding” and delicious, but the truth is, these things only taste delicious and feel rewarding for a moment, a minute, and then the shame sets in. When offered a dessert or something else unhealthy, before you dig in, maybe just ask yourself, “how will I feel if I eat all of this and how will I feel if I only have a bite or completely pass?” No, having only a bite or passing entirely on dessert is not the cultural norm. Yes, people probably (for whatever reason) will still try and get you to eat more. Yes, your own mind will try and argue that it’s okay to have more. More, more, more, it’s always okay to have more.
BUT, I just want to tell you right now that your body and your health are worth it! YOU are worth it! You can change, you can say no, you can resist—do you understand that you have the Spirit that raised Christ from the dead living inside of you! If that’s not power and authority, I don’t know what is. You don’t have to play the victim anymore. You don’t have to wallow in a sea of shame and guilt after every meal. You CAN say yes to health and, in that yes, pass on things that come against that yes and that desire to have a body fit to run the race set before us with perseverance.

Many of us tend to live in the moment, and we often think we are powerless to change this way of living—but, of course, we aren’t. Even if you’ve lived in the moment when it comes to those delicious and unhealthy foods all your life, you can still change. You see that chocolate cheesecake sitting on the table in front of you, and then envision yourself sitting down later and rubbing your stomach and feeling sick and ashamed, and you can say no to more cake or cookies or whatever it might be.

I have learned that sugar doesn’t make me feel good. I physically feel sick if I eat more than a bite or 2 of something sweet (so thankful for this!) So, when I have a bite of something sweet, I know I don’t want to feel sick later, and I know I don’t want to put something in my body that will zap me of energy. I know I want to do all I can to live out the rest of my life with health so I take a pass on another bite. And I’m no one special! This way of life and way of saying yes to health is available to us all, and I promise the more you consistently do this, the more natural it becomes.

The cool thing is you can use this with most decisions you face. To exercise or not?? In the moment I might feel tired and stressed and too busy, but then I can think of how, after I workout, I’ll feel better, have a better attitude and feel accomplished. To read my Bible or not?? In the moment I might feel like I have too much to do and don’t have time, but I know if I spend 15 minutes with God I’ll have such a better outlook on my day and be filled with more peace.
The truth is, we don’t have to live our lives based on how we feel in one particular moment. Maybe the kids kept me up and I don’t want to work out, or maybe I’m already working late and I don’t feel like reading my bible, or maybe I’ve had just had a fight with my spouse and some sugar seems like the perfect comforter—whatever it is, we don’t have to be enslaved to our feelings. We have God’s Spirit in us and we are powerful and we can say yes and no, even if we don’t feel like saying yes or no. Jesus didn’t feel like going to the cross, but he did. God didn’t “feel” like watching his own son be crucified, but he did. Isaiah and Jeremiah and the rest of the prophets didn’t “feel” like crying out for people to repent day after day, but they did. Esther didn’t “feel” like approaching the king on behalf of her people, but she did.

The truth is, you can say no to your desires and feelings and emotions in the moment, and you can say yes something greater. You can. I’ll say it again, you can. True freedom and courage and bravery are found in saying yes to something greater than ourselves and our momentary, fleeting desires and feelings.

God has given you a spirit of power and of love and of self-control. So my only question to you is this: will you use it?

I continue to pray for you!

Blow Your Mind Today…and Tomorrow!!

Want your mind blown? Seriously let The Father take it all for the day. It is hard to let go of “plans”, “tasks”, etc…and you do not have to let them all go (dishes and laundry and cooking have to be done 😉 wink). I have tried my schedule for months, and I am not building… I decided to wake up Sunday and let it all just be as it would be: have a plan but if it changes, look up–ask–and go with the answer……..UNBELIEVABLE!

I did this well while a mother homeschooling, but the past few years while life transitioned before my eyes without my “permission”, I have struggled with letting go. I am guessing I was not letting go as much as I thought in the past, OR, most likely, I became comfortable with that level and it is time for some shake up. I do not do well with instability. I know this. With practice, however, and with constant listening practice (meditation mindfulness), I have learned to release the core issues ground deep in my core. With EACH release, comes more opening, more opportunity, more strength, more connections, more ease in letting go!!!

On two days, I had a timeline plan, and both days, I kept the voice loud that what comes into it will be (and the other things will be done later or switched around). I had time with my daughter Aimee I hardly ever get – 😉 big smile – just from letting the Jeana timeline go… I made two business connections that I would have never considered, and I had a conversation that helped a frustrated mother and she then built a marketing plan for me that will be instituted today. I am on cloud 9 with God and gonna just stay here a while! Oh, the biggest thing that has come out of all this: I will be OK with my husband’s career adjustments or timeline. There is a time and place for real needed change, and we will know when that is, when it occurs, even if it is difficult instability for me now.

I can do all things through Messiah who strengthens me — this is not doing my stuff, it is doing HIS stuff with the gifts he has given me.

Keep in Mind…

I will get right to it.

While going through life, and walking this earth, one must take into consideration some fine points about the human disturbances before putting out information to friends that something is toxic or not good for us or our animals.

I have recently heard some things about foods and plants that have me wondering, “what happened to research before you post”? What happened to “think before you speak”? What happened to “prove all things”, before forging forward explaining things as fact? What happened to reason?

okay, we cannot answer these questions, but I can make a few statements to get it turning back to thinking, reasoning, and researching again.

One: If one puts out the word that gluten is the killer of society, or gluten needs to be cut out of every diet, or the best one, “we are not supposed to eat bread”…let us go all the way back to the Bible. Jesus ate bread, yeast bread, wheat and barley bread. Now, forward, we have changed grains to where they are not what they were. JUST research this and one can find this to be true. If we buy grains from the best possible sources, and find them untainted as possible, most gluten intolerance would not be happening.  Enough said on that because all I wanted to do was point out the fine point of research and then one can find the truth, not depending upon the doctors, pharmacies and media to inform you (lies and trends instead of truth).  Another fine point to this has to do with not just the changing of our grains, but the changing of our dependencies, our farming, our living conditions, our lifestyles, our soils, and so the list goes on.  Take all into consideration, as the Bible says, “and the truth will make you free” and this applies to our food too.

Two: If one says that your pets will die from a certain plant or flower, think twice or even three times.  Flowers and plants are part of our world.  If your plants are coming from a non organic source, such as a flower shop, then there is more to the story of what is toxic in the plant than just the plant alone. RESEARCH and find out the source of the plant.  A plant from a flower shop (rarely are there organic shops), is a plant that has been created and farmed with chemicals and gmo, and has a history of poor genetics.  The plant it NOT the problem, rather the junk in the plant is the problem. Do more research and talk to others with animals, both in organic farms, and in cities, to find out if they have heard of these things. Call vets from small towns. Get the point? Find out if it really is the plant that killed your pet (or made it ill), or if it was something else before spreading a scare to all pet owners that a simple lovely flower that a friend gave you in a vase, was the evil, and therefore “all” of those particular plants or flowers in the world are evil to your pets.

I can continue to give examples of things I have been sent or told, but I feel that these two get across the point well, that we need to reason, think and research before making blanket statements to friends. Our world is full of lies because of blanket scares or statements, in wellness and health.

Take care.

be well, be healthy, be
