The lack of balance results in the interruption of the energies that flow through you under the directives of your innate intelligence and weakened connection to your source. This results in "dis-ease"--a lack of wholeness, coordination and harmony. When you are "dis-eased," stress can overwhelm you and disease, illness, exhaustion, accelerated aging and shortened life results.

Interestingly, a person with "dis-ease" who feels fatigue may have tremendous energy, but it's often trapped in their muscles, joints and other body tissues and is not flowing freely. That's why people often have sensitive spots in their muscles or tendons called trigger points and may jump when these points are even lightly touched. In these cases accupressure, acupuncture and even massage can be helpful in regaining balance. Unfortunately relief is only temporary.

The Connections of Emotional Health: An emotionally disconnected person holds pockets of unresolved anger, fear, resentment, pain or other emotions locked up within their body and mind. Whatever the cause (abuse, conflict etc.), trapped emotional energy prevents us from living fully in the present because some of our energies are still being affected or living in the past.

Past traumas and fears cause chronic physical tension and emotional stress that disconnect us from our deeper selves. This can lead to an abusive life style and disease. In this state, intuition is clouded, life's purpose is confused, and there are difficulties forming healthy relationships.

The Connections of Spiritual Health: The more spiritually connected you are, the closer you are to the love, energy, joy, vitality and wisdom of your source. The goal of all spiritual and/or religious practices is to teach you to commune with, be in the presence of, or connected to your soul, God, the universe or whatever term you wish to use. When you are spiritually healthy, you are connected to the depths within you and the universe without.

A spiritually connected person is in harmony with their life's purpose and meaning. They are following their heart, trusting their instincts and are sensitive to the laws and powers that create and recreate their illusion of reality at every moment. There is more sensitivity, inspiration, empathy, compassion and intuition as well as more synchronicity (meaningful coincidences) and meaning unfolding in their life. Such people speak of having "peak experiences," of feeling connected, or of communing with those around them, humanity, a loving nature, God or a loving presence. They feel joy, happiness and peace in these states.

The spiritually disconnected person is separated from the love, energy, joy and vitality of their source. Out of touch with their deepest needs and desires, a sense of isolation, loneliness, confusion and fear permeate and harm both mind and body. One's will to live is weakened and life lacks vision and meaning. One's purpose in life is clouded and poor physical health can easily manifest.

Hormones, stress, and toxins underlie autoimmune disease. The body's internal defense mechanism sometimes goes awry, attacking the body in what seems like an overzealous attempt to protect it. Two diseases frequently linked with or mistaken for each other is Lupus and Rheumatoid arthritis.

Complementary Approaches: Avoid animal proteins, saturated fat, and salt. Brown rice, eggs, fish, leafy greens, oatmeal and non-acidic fruits are useful as are sulfur-rich garlic and onions. Consider DHEA, (only if your body indicates a low level) Colostrum and essential fatty acids to reduce inflammation.

A popular combination of anti-inflammatory enzymes is Wobenzym N which contains bromelain, papain, amylase, lipase, trypsin, chymotrypsin as well as the bioflavonoid rutin. Recently on the market is a new enzyme with potent fibrinolytic activity that rivals pharmaceutical drugs is Nattokinase.

Q. Is there anything natural that can prevent mosquito bites?

A. One of the ways the U.S. Army deals with the problem of mosquitos is to use vitamin B1 or thiamin. This vitamin is a natural mosquito repellent when taken at a dose of 200 mg per day. (When ever taking one B vitamin, be sure to take the full B complex).

In addition, a natural way to take some of the itch away is to take an ordinary band-aid, wet it slightly and rub it with a charcoal tablet or use the powder from a capsule until it is entirely black. Then apply it to the bite. Charcoal is a powerful absorbent and it simply draws out the factors which make the bite itch.

Thought For The Day: If the body is sick, the mind worries and the spirit grieves; if the mind is sick, the body and spirit will suffer from its confusion; if the spirit is sick, there will be no will to care for the body or mind.
