Eat for your blood type diet reviewed

By: Juliana LaChance

 Do you know what blood type you have?

Did you know that your immune and digestive systems have a predisposition for the same foods that your blood type ancestors ate? This claim is based on research by the creator of the blood type diet Dr. D’Adamo generated through decades of his ongoing research and clinical work. His New York Best Selling Book, Eat for your blood type, outlines the four blood types and there link to the foods that your blood type ancestors ate.

Scientists have been able to use blood type to map the movements and grouping of our ancestors and the way they adapted to challenges, changing climates, and germs and the foods they ate. 

These blood types contain the genetic messages of diets and behaviours that still affect us. It suggests that based on our blood type certain foods are more beneficial than others.

 This can bring relief to the one size fits all diets that work for some people and not for others. Especially in the 21st century where there are so many varieties of foods to choose from. This brings some clarity on how to choose foods for ultimate health and vitality.

Eat right for your blood type makes choosing foods easy when you know your blood type and can modify your diet and exercise to its guidelines and see if it works for you. If you have been trying everything to create balance and healing or increase energy perhaps following your blood type diet will create profound and lasting changes. 

I recommend the book, eat for your blood type which has interesting insights and stories about this research and outlines the foods that are beneficial for each of the four blood types. Eat for you Blood Type by Dr. D’Adamo is available at the public library. If you are interested in finding out your blood type you can donate blood at Canadian blood services.  The blood type diet provides interesting information with great claims for a balanced diet that is in harmony with your blood types predispositions.

Purging Emotional & Physical Parasites

By: Juliana LaChance

Contracting internal parasites may go undetected  but the great thing is that they are easy to get rid of.  Intestinal Parasites are more common than one might think, however what is uncommon is that people don’t do parasite cleanses more often. Native Americans would do them every spring and every fall to ensure a healthy balance. 

Parasite cleansing is important especially because the symptoms of parasites are general and can be mistaken for other ailments and sometimes there are no symptoms. If you have tried everything to regain your energy by changing your diet to taking supplements, exercising and the low energy remains a parasite cleanse may do the trick. 

There are three trusted and effective herbs that when combined will kill intestinal parasites and there eggs. These anti parasitic herbs are Wormwood, Black walnut Hull, and cloves. The best time to start a parasite is a week before the full moon before the eggs have time to hatch. There are many different recipes and formulas but these main three ingredients are key. Pre-made kits can be bought at health food stores and have extra added herbs to enhance the cleanses effectiveness. These kits are made specially with the right amount of dosage to get rid of parasites.

I personally know the power and relief that comes from doing a parasite cleanse. After summers of in British Columbia spent drinking out of rivers and streams I had begun to feel a loss in vitality and energy. I did everything from changing my whole diet, and going to the doctors. I began asking for help and the answers to my questions began pouring in, everything pointed in the direction of parasite cleanse. To my relief after going through half the bottle of New Roots Para purge I began to feel notably back to my high spirited self and had my energy back. 

As well as taking the parasite cleanses I also did an emotional and mental parasite cleanse, of getting rid of any thoughts or people that were draining my energy, and sucking the good out of my life. It is becoming more known that our emotions are connected with our mind and body.  In Louise Hays book, ‘Heal Your Body’ she provides a listing of illnesses and affirmations to help overcome imbalances in the body. She suggests that parasites stem from “Giving power to others, letting them take over and suck life out of you.” She offers this affirmation to bring balance “I lovingly take back my power and eliminate all external influences.”  

It is such a relief to know that all imbalances in the body can be healed with simple methods. And that these times of healing are great opportunities for reflection and growth mentally, physically and emotionally. Weather one has intestinal or emotional parasites, the great news is there easy to get rid of and regain your health and personal power.

The power of flower essences

By: Juliana LaChance

Flower essences are considered to be the soul of the plant and heals us on an emotional and energetic level. The highest purest energy of the flowers is contained in flower essence remedies. They treat emotional imbalances that in turn balance physical ailments. 




They promote emotional well being and are first aid for the spirit. They are gentle, safe and enhance other modalities of healing.

Dr.. Edward Bach a surgeon, doctor and immunologist, developed these simple and effective flower essences to go beyond treating the physical disorders and get to the root of disease. With a more simple and deeper understanding he began treating the personality and balancing the emotions using flower essences.  Dr Bach proclaimed that “there is no true healing unless there is a change in outlook, peace of mind and inner happiness. Disease is the consolidation of mental attitude and the physical manifestation of imbalances brought about by the various negative states of mind that so plague mankind.”He was a holistic physician treating the whole individual rather that external symptoms of disease.

Flower essences are prepared from wild flowers in their local habitat. The original 38 remedies  were found in the area where Dr. Bach lived in the English countryside.

However every flower can be made into flower remedies that contain there own unique essence and healing properties.  These remedies treat the seven basic categories of emotions, fear, uncertainty , insufficient interest in present circumstances, loneliness, over sensitivity to influence and ideas of others, despair, over care for the welfare of others. They are gentle and powerful homeopathic medicine for the mind and soul.

Flower essences can contain up to 6 different remedies. The recommended dosage is four drops, four times a day directly under the tongue or in a little water. There are dozens of books dedicated solely to flower essence, that contain case histories to validate their effectiveness.

 I have been graced with 5 years experience with flower essences 

taking them, and making them. I love making blends and sharing their gifts.  I am a flower essence practitioner that uses Genuine Bach Flower Remedies made by a company in England called Creature Comfort. I would love to create a unique and specific blend for your needs.
