It’s Who You Are

by Jill on 22. Sep, 2011 in Motivational

I just heard this song, and have to share it!
This post is dedicated to my good friend Susan Whipple,
who helped me understand that what matters is “who you are”.

I plan on living this way even more- and I wish the same
for all of you.

Love,
Jill

It’s Who You Are

It’s not the price
It’s not the game
It’s not the score
It’s not the fame
Whatever road looks way too far
It’s not what you have
It’s who you are

It’s not how fast
It’s not how far
It’s not of cheers
It’s who you are

In darkest night
You make your sun
You choose your race
And then you run

It’s never the glory
It’s never the score
It’s not about seeing about who’s less and who’s more
Cuz when you find out how fast and how far
You’ll know it’s not how much you have
It’s who you are

You lose the moon
Then be a star
It’s not too soon
Be who you are
Whatever road looks way too far
It’s not what you have
It’s who you are

It’s never the glory
It’s never the score
It’s not seeing about seeing
Who’s less and who’s more
Cuz when you find out how fast and how far
You’ll know it’s not how much you have
It’s who you are

When you have found
How fast you can run
When you have found
Your place in the sun,
It won’t be just you that you’ll find
Has made the run and the climb
It’s everyone

It’s never the glory
It’s never the score
It’s not seeing about seeing
Who’s less and who’s more
Cuz when you find out how fast and how far
you’ll know it’s not how much you have
It’s who you are
It’s who you are

Learning to bend and not to break
Living to give more than you take
Dying to live
Living to try
Feet on the ground
Dreams in the sky

It’s never how much you have
It’s who you are

Lupus and Heart Disease both helped by diet

by Jill on 01. Sep, 2011 in Heart Health

Scroll down and you’ll see a CNN video featuring former President Bill Clinton and Dr. Esselstyn, who both recently appeared on Dr. Sanjay Gupta’s CNN show. Share this information with everyone you care about – diet can reverse and prevent heart disease… even people who have severly clogged arteries!

The show doesn’t portray Dr. Esselstyn or his work all that well, though President Clinton’s health recovery story is very good (he’s almost back to his high school weight of 185). 

I highly recommend that you read Esselstyn’s book “Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease Naturally”. He has years of experience of helping heart patients who were basically told to “get their affairs in order”, because there was nothing else medically that could be done for them. 

The diet that produces these “miraculous results” is the same one that I eat and promote in my book “The Lupus Recovery Diet” – a whole, foods plant based diet with no added oil. After watching this video, you’ll see how valuable it is for your whole family to eat this way – not just people with autoimmune disease.


Natural Treatments for Lupus

by klisht on 21. Feb, 2011 in Uncategorized

Are you looking for a natural way to control lupus? Some people feel a significant difference in their lupus symptoms when they make diet changes.

What? How can something as serious as lupus be helped by something as simple as diet?

Well, the medical profession does say that they don’t know what causes lupus – and they help you try to control the symptoms. Gout is an autoimmune disease, and doctors know it is definitely triggered by diet!

If one autoimmune disease can be triggered by food, doesn’t it seem reasonable that other autoimmune diseases can also be triggered by diet?

I think lupus is a combination of both genetic and environmental factors. I have the genes for lupus – but found a way to control my symptoms through environmental factors – the foods I eat (and the foods I avoid) and sleep. I’ve been free of systemic lupus symptoms since 1995! All from diet and lifestyle changes.

When I started eating a whole foods, plant based diet – my joint pain and exhaustion melted away.

It helped me so much that I wrote a book about it – “The Lupus Recovery Diet”. Since then I’ve heard back from hundreds of people who’ve shared how much better they feel.

Why not try it for yourself? Eating healthy plant rich foods won’t hurt you, and you’ll soon find out if it helps you. Nothing is more natural than eating good food from the earth.
