Simply Sensible and Gentle Defense

As we all attempt to recreate our life schedules and decide how to interact with our families, co-workers, neighbors, and friends with this ‘viral menace’, the need for self-care and preservation is glaring at us. A sensible gentle defense of what we have and its meaningfulness is needed. It cannot be ignored.
Now, there are many helpful actions that can be very useful with positive lasting effects for everyone. And, while you are distancing now, you will want to take this opportunity to set out with a plan for self-improvement. If you are uncertain or confused about how to proceed, stop for a few minutes and answer the following questions:

• How do I feel?
• Am I breathing fully and comfortably?
• Is my heart beating regularly and smoothly?
• Am I eating/drinking healthfully? Consciously?
• Am I exercising for daily fitness? Outside in sun?
• Am I taking time away from cell phones and computers?
• Do I sleep restfully?
• Do I take time to meditate?
• Am I working and/or playing productively?
• Do I socialize with good relations?
• Am I engaged in loving relationships?
• Do I express respect and gratitude to family, friends, co-workers, ancestors, foes, trees, plants, animals, mountains, waters, sun, moon and galaxy?
• Do I help those who are in need?
• Am I taking care of the environment inside and outside the body?

Looking at each one…

Feelings may be shifting, and it is important to recognize and express them in healthy ways. Have a dialogue with one or a small group to openly discuss the sentiments and how you can help one another in difficult moments.

Sit upright with back straight and hands gently placed palms upward on your thighs. Breathe calmly, slowly with longer exhalations than inhalations. Focus on the end of the full breath before exhalation briefly. Let bad thoughts fall away. A powerful moment! This is cleansing and de-stressing. Try this for at least 3 minutes. Repeat at different times of the day- every day.

Place two fingers on the palm/thumb-side of your wrist and check your pulse as you sit or stand. Be familiar with that pulsation that reflects the heart pumping life’s blood through your arteries. Be thankful for its indefatigability to keep you going for a very long time! The heart needs exercise so get moving!

Chew a meal of quality nutriment that is worth the time and effort. Junk food and senseless indulgences will lead to illness. Your immune system cannot defend the body well without proper nutrition. A healthy dose of oral Vitamin C can be taken up to 3000 mg daily. Take a good multivitamin/mineral with iodine daily (check with your health provider if you have questions on this) elderberry is a nice source of Vitamin A that is important for mucous membranes of nasal, throat, trachea and gut passages. A quality probiotic is very important, especially if you have taken antibiotics. Seek further guidance from nutritionist or one skilled in this area. Don’t forget to also feed your dog or cat quality food too.

Take a power walk, jog, swim, bounce, ride, play, dance, stretch, do yoga or partake in another form of movement that invigorates the body and mind. Start slowly and work your way up if just beginning. Fifteen minutes twice a day works well. Go outside for the best form of Vitamin D – just 20 minutes will allow the liver to form about 25,000 iu of this vitamin. Immune defense requires Vitamin D. Make these motions a habit.

Turn off the cell phone or put in airplane mode when you are not using it to reduce exposure to electromagnetic frequencies (EMFs) that can impact your immune system, nervous system or entire body function. Take breaks from the computer. Use a succulent or other plant, a water feature or Shungite stone around the devices you use at a desk to also help absorb the EMFs. Avoid holding devices close to the body and especially head. Children and pregnant ladies must be protected even more!

To sleep well you must be active (see above), get some sun rays (once again, 20 minutes without sunscreen to provide healthful production of Vitamin D), relax and eat at proper hours. Consume your last meal of day 2-3 hours before bed. Turn off cellular/computer devices a good hour or more before sleep to reduce the stimulating effects. Slumber has its requirements and our bodies require slumber for every organ system to work strong and well.
Meditate mindfully in a calm and quiet position. Take the breaths as discussed above and let everything go with your eyes closed. Nothing matters but for the moment you are here taking breaths in and out, one after another. Try this for at least 5 minutes and take as much time that you need for a better day and night. Chant if you wish or simply breathe. Repeat often.

Work, create, design, compose and recreate with a sense of meaning and fulfillment. Do that which makes you feel joy on your own or with a companion. It is up to you.

Yes, we all need each other. Solitude is good but more times than not- and especially now- we all need a buddy, be it a human, fish, plant or animal. Do not disconnect. Natural personal touch is crucial to the health of everyone. Allow yourself to love and be loved.

Let gratitude be part of your daily life. Remember those who gave life to you, came before you, nurtured and guided you. Give back to them and to the cause for a better world. Remember that we are all part of the universe that extends backward and forward. Help those who need assistance including children, the infirmed, animals, veterans of war, elders and whoever is calling for a hand or heart. Join a community garden, plant a tree or crop. Volunteer for others. It all can be done safely.

With all the admonition about hand cleansing, take care of the environment within and outside the body by using natural soaps and cleansers. Use ‘simple’ soaps without harsh chemicals, dyes or colognes. Leave your shoes at the front hall or door before entering your home to avoid tracking in chemicals and debris from outside that may be hazardous. Have a ‘home shoe’ ready. Pets need non-toxic cleaning as well. Please be much more conscious as you are washing your hands face, clothes, home and all where you work or dwell!

A sensible approach to caring and protecting yourself and the world around you will have long-lasting positive effects.

Health, peace, harmony, and joy be with you always.

Unify, Fortify and Transform

May I take this opportunity to express a world of gratitude to you all who have sacrificed for the sake of all humanity. Bravery and the drive to bring peace and harmony to a disturbed world is where you have gone and it is truly a massive feat for commendation.

If there is one motto to live by, this may be it: unify, fortify and transform.

The absolute connection cannot be denied or violated. The health and proliferation of humanity is fully associated with human decisions. The problems come when there is a breakdown and distortion in the communication between humans and the powerful energies of this world.

At this very moment in time- as has happened many times ago both recently and remotely- there is a reverberating lesson and message that we are to take better care and respect our environment both outward and inwardly for the sustenance of this magnificent planet.

We must all face an ever-present fact: we are responsible and accountable for each other and all that we come from.

To paraphrase the keen 16th-century scholar & poet, John Donne:

‘No one stands alone…each is a piece of the continent, a part of the main’

As we are faced with this latest novel viral “attack” in our midst, let us be reminded that the root cause of this apparent catastrophe flows through our very own processes, decisions, movements and so it has manifest itself.

We are repeatedly being messaged by Nature to collectively pull together- as we ironically pull apart- to improve how we live and make harmony and peace return as it should in the great wisdom of this universe.

The “virus” is part of the transformation that we are all experiencing. Call it a strange blessing or another strong lesson, it must be recognized and respected. Coronavirus- named for its “crown” of studs that surround its capsule or outer coat- is not a new virus. It is a variant strain from a larger family known as coronaviridae. It is a mutated form as far as we have been able to understand its composition.

The virus has moved from animal to human through the ages. The ‘usual’ state of the virus is not generally a cause for any harm to anyone, however, if given the opportunity to push through the immune barrier of the human body, it can violate membranes and cause some mild cold or even flu-like symptoms. Any pre-existing serious immune issues in a person’s may cause even more trouble. And, it is the combination of many factors in our daily living habits and decisions that are probable causes for the novel strain to have developed and taken a stronghold on many lives.

However, we shall not fear. We shall become more aware and take better care to help all and especially our children.

Important concepts to ponder are that our ecological/biological systems are not meant to be intoxicated, poisoned and disregarded for the sake of greed, profit or control. Our food, water, air, earth and dwellings are to be pure as possible and respected to the beat of our ability. They will otherwise collapse. Let us be fully conscious of this.

Here and now may we unify, fortify and transform.

In closing, I will tap the wisdom of a Native American proverb:
Love yourself; get outside yourself and take action; focus on the solution. Be at peace.

In health always,

Dr. Maria Scunziano-Singh, MD, NMD

Avert Disease: Re-balance the Imbalance

 

The human body is a powerhouse of energy with a keenly orchestrated system of checks and balances to sustain it. At every fraction of time, there are forces– call them deific or divine- that protect the living body from utter ruination. In the world of science, this process is recognized as an exquisite evolutionary step that has its origins in the earliest and simplest forms of life. Adaptation to natural challenging elements, i.e. extreme temperatures, predation, etc., of early life forms to actually change their bodies. Eventually, higher sea and land plants and animals also had to transform in order to survive. Heavier fur, thicker skins, sharper eyesight, stronger leaves or roots, and noxious scents- or even seductive ones- all evolved, accordingly, for the innumerable species on this planet.

Our modern world is inundated by prodigious and diverse newer invisible and visible energy sources such as microwaves, cellular technology, x-rays (along with our ancient sun), microbes, artificial processed foods, drugs, and chemicals. In order to protect all that the body is exposed to vis-à-vis these energies –or any energy, the human body automatically enlists intelligent lines of defense with the immune system as its primary guardian. The latter is wholly integrated with every cell of human tissue to come to the rescue when the needs arise- and they do on a constant basis. Any insult or disturbance in an organ or group of cells in a body cavity will instantaneously signal for a defense mechanism to be mobilized to protect and repair the mishap. Other systems that are to be fully acknowledged for their role in the defense department include the skin, liver, adrenal glands and the large intestine. These organs have a complex coordination of their own detoxifying and/or reparative mechanisms along with immune cell activity that conducts according to any given specific need.

(special note: the impact of constant waves of electromagnetic energies, especially from cell phones, is a subject all unto itself. Educators should closely examine this issue and urgently act to protect our children who are the future leaders in this world.)

So, the problem is…the human body defenses can and will be overwhelmed by the distortive nature of many of these energies. Gleaning from the timeless principles of macrobiotics, a series of biological changes emerge when there is a state of imbalance.

Let’s look at how the stages of imbalance in the human body can instigate the onset of disease.

Stage 1: Generalized Fatigue

Normally, the body will discharge waste and toxins via breathing, perspiring, urinating and defecating. Physical and mental work with ideas, creativity, other gentle and loving expressions including intimacy are all forms of energy discharge. A natural feeling of sleepiness arises at the end of a day. All immune/defense functions will preserve and maintain good order of mind and body.
However, if there is exposure of excess food or other energies (often accompanied by deficiencies of quality enzymes, vitamins and minerals), abnormal dispersal will manifest as headaches, dizziness, vomiting, coughing, sneezing, wheezing, excessive perspiration, frequent urination and irregular bowel habits. Other discharges like anxiety, tremors, shouting in anger and mental fogginess can occur as well. As days, weeks and months continue with these symptoms, generalized fatigue will arise. Unless corrected by proper diet, lifestyle and removal of other toxic exposures, immune defenses are heightened and constantly stressed. As a result, the fatigue will persist as a feeling of endless need for rest or sleep that ultimately will lead to the second stage of disease formation.

Stage 2: Aches and Pains

Muscle aches, headaches, cramps, gastrointestinal disturbances/pains, palpitations, worry, increasing anxiety, tremors, numbness and tingling are all added issues that can develop in this next stage. With continued exposures to various forms of radiation, processed meats, milk, sugar, artificial foods, drugs and other toxic environmental chemicals these problems are inevitable. Sudden accidental falls or injuries can manifest as distorted energies in and around the body. Proper guidance with removal and correction of the imbalances can prevent the next stage from developing.

Stage 3: Changes in Blood and Lymph Quality

If the above stages are not addressed, the blood and lymph will be overwhelmed and problems like skin eruptions, abscesses and skin cancers can develop. Infections can begin easily in eyes, mouth, respiratory tract, ears, bladder or other area. Depression and mood swings are seen, lack of productivity and loss of life direction are often noted at this stage of imbalance. Detoxification on many levels is necessary for one to halt the progression to more complicated conditions. At this stage you are advised to begin working with a health provider trained to recognize how these problems are managed with good preventive practices.

Stage 4: Accumulation

Sinus congestion, inflammation and pain are common at this stage with lack of corrective methods in stage 3. Pain and infection in the body cavities mentioned above occur with increasing frequency and intensity. Lungs can become heavy with congestion and pneumonia can develop. Breast cysts, lumps and prostate enlargement in men are common at this stage. Excess use of dairy, meat, oils, sugar, icy foods and drinks, chemicals in food and home/garden/workplace, various drugs, inhalants and other debris, electromagnetic exposure from cellular devices with wi-fi (many hours and close to body) all are contributing elements to the deteriorating condition of stage 4. It is imperative that one changes many aspects of one’s lifestyle for a chance of rebalance. Consult with a holistic or integral provider is highly recommended.

Stage 5: Storage

It is important to truly change a chronically imbalanced lifestyle to avoid reaching this stage of increasing biological disturbances. Here is where there is significant hardening of tissues such that we see abnormalities in heart, liver, gallbladder, intestinal, and endocrine systems. Ultimately, cancer develops. The help of a holistic practitioner is recommended to help restore the body back to balance in the most gentle and unobtrusive means. Conventional physicians will generally add medications and order various studies and procedures for the conditions that can be severe.

Stage 6: Neurological Disorders

From a macrobiotic perspective, this is a deeper deterioration of the transmission of nerve impulses- also known as chi or life flow-throughout the body generated by chronic imbalance. Mental depression, organ and system disturbances become even more pronounced. Joints, muscles and most bodily functions are impaired to the point of significant disability. Diseases we label such as multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s, osteoporosis, rheumatoid arthritis and dementia manifest in this later stage. With a proper healing approach, it can take several months or years to ameliorate or seriously change the course of these conditions. One can persevere with determination and will to be well.

Stage 7: Self-Justification and Arrogance

This stage is one that none should ever enter. A time of detachment from nature and virtually the meaning of life, the moment of arrogance is a truly sad one. It is what starts and ends the whole disease process. Years of selfish disrespect and carelessness of the natural order of the universe leads to breakdown of the universe within the body. This reverberates to the world around and about the body. You see, the body is a microcosm of the macrocosmic world. If the mind has decided to violate and distort the body, it has done the same to the universe.

The goal here is to recognize that it takes conscious change to reduce or eliminate disease processes and ultimately heal the ailing body.

If you are not feeling well or know that something is not right, take the time to help your body restore balance. Seek the counsel and services of health providers who can help you redirect your life that may be on a downward spiral. Those who have the knowledge and training in a “wholistic” and/or integrative approach to health and healing, are recommended. It is best to find the path to wellness in the most logical, gentlest and harmonious ways. Do the best you can if you want the best outcome.

You are urged to act now- not later– and look at how you are truly living. How are you treating your body- your living matter? And, what you do impacts the entire world. Simply ask yourself: how much does it matter to be in peace and harmony with all of life?

Rebalance the imbalance. It is time.

Thank you,
Dr. Maria Scunziano-Singh

Message on Higher Consciousness from the Founder of WellCome OM

Our history is where the lessons all are…

Unconscious choices are forcing us to awaken and change now.

Life begs for higher awareness. Our global misconduct with our natural world is resurfacing as we, yet again, face the power of the invisible world of both EMFs and viruses over our human physiological defenses. Our immune systems are challenged every moment as we struggle to prevent or suppress illness. But are we preventing anything??

As the current “novel” strain of coronavirus is causing a stir (bats and pangolins in China have been considered among the key sources), we need to look more closely at why these outbreaks are happening.

Truth be told, we have been preoccupied with technologically and, may I say, carelessly in our life habits. Since the First World War, we have seen the escalation of massive viral surges in many areas of the world. These eruptions are (very interestingly) coinciding with significant electromagnetic additions to the planet. Note the introduction of massive EM forces in the defense and communications industries right along with bombardments of chemicals into the environments (DDT, glyphosate and other organophosphate materials in agriculture). Moreover, there has been a tremendous explosion of new drugs, alcohol, artificial foods, endless beverage selections and other human practices that are all collectively creating a cryptic soup, the likes of which we are consuming on a regular basis. (This is not soup that I want to take in and hopefully you agree). We have pushed the proverbial needle way too far – literally…

Here is a reminder of all those pandemics and epidemics that came into our lives commencing about 100 years ago:

• The Spanish Flu – (avian source implicated) in 1918 after soldiers returned home from war in many countries including Ireland, France and the US.
• Swine flu, H1N1 – (began as human to pig transmission and pigs were implicated) of 2009 and considered a new version of the Spanish Flu of 1918
• H5N1 – (avian/poultry implicated as source in Asia) since 2003
• HIV/AIDS – primate source implicated in the 1920s with full re-emergence in humans in 1983 particularly in Congo, US and globally eventually.
• Influenza A – (avian source implicated) known for more than a century with mutations continuous
• SARS-CoV-1 – (implicated source-civet animal) sold as meat in China in 2002
• Ebola – originating in Congo (fruit bats and monkeys implicated) detected in 2014
• Zika – (mosquito considered cause) originating in Brazil in 2016. Babies are born with microcephaly (small brains that cannot survive)

And the list goes on (within and around these mentioned above) that involves other countries worldwide. Only now suddenly it appears that because of the new virus in the air many people have a heightened awareness of the upsurge the multiple viral infections over the past 100 years.

Why have we not been more conscious? In general, people are easily seduced by convenience, speed, ease of use and what “they cannot see”. The fact is, however, that we are heading further into a particularly dangerous state of global health. A reminder to all is that we are exploiting animals, birds and the entire ecosystem to the point of vast human suffering. A big concern – if not the essential key – is the technological disruption of the natural energy fields on the planet. The massive human-directed electromagnetic forces (EMFs) that are part of the cellular world have enveloped our planet and are affecting the cosmos around it. We have never experienced this prior to the past century. In all this, we just happen to be seeing a universal transmission of novel viral strains that are emerging more and more. As humans assume increasing control over creatures and their habitats, the viruses are going to mutate and rapidly replicate for their survival. Viruses are technically “non-living” and must inhabit living creatures for their own permanency. These simple structures composed of genetics with a coating surrounding them) can undergo both intraspecies (within a group) and interspecies (between groups of species) transmission. The result is massive imbalances in the ecosystem and ultimately in our environments where we dwell, including the very bodies we live in!

Preventive strategies are important now more than ever in order for our nation and the world to keep well and life sustained. Let us make a dent in the viral issue with sensibility and better lifestyles.

Let us all reflect and act now to change the way we are conducting our lives.

Here are important sustainable moves everyone should make now:

• Be calm and step back for a time to look at how you are living. Have you been treating your body and outer environment well?
• Breathe slowly and exhale fully several times throughout your day in a peaceful posture wherever you may be – practice often!
• Cultivate organic gardens and consume the plants as the majority of your food intake; eat clean natural foods only
• Take poultry and meat out of the diet more often and consider removing them with a proper balance of protein, fat and carbs from plant and some seafood sources
• Cook at home and eat with your loved ones
• Exercise outdoors daily and get a good dose of sunlight for best health; spend more time with nature and less with artificial settings and devices
• Avoid smoke, fumes and toxic air in general; use essential oils for diffusing/applying in home and office settings to clean the air and enhance your immunity and well-being.
• Be with loved ones and friends – socialize in healthy settings outside and inside health-promoting indoor venues. Keep your distance for now but do not avoid being with others!
• Help in any way you can to make life better for the planet
• Work productively and safely in any environment respecting everyone’s personal space
• Use natural stones like tourmaline, jasper, hematite and shungite along with plants and water features in and around your areas of computer devices. Turn off Wi-Fi and use only if absolutely needed. Hard wire (plug in) devices and less Wi-Fi use is recommended!
• Use blue light blocking eyewear if you are working later in the evening on computer devices. This can help improve your sleep.
• Stay clean and practice good hygiene without artificial chemicals used on the body or on the environment outside of the body (your home, garden, workplace, etc.)
• Sleep soundly through the night after a good day of conscious living. Again, keep all devices turned off and especially away from your heads at night.

Preventive strategies are important now more than ever in order for our nation and the world to keep well and life sustained. Let us make a dent in the viral issue with sensibility and better lifestyles please. Put down or turn off the devices more often and turn off Wi-Fi when not in use (put in airplane mode) – cannot emphasize this enough! Remember that our children are all participating and they need us to be more aware and conscious of our actions.

We are all in this together, my friends.

Health to you all,
Dr. M
