How I Beat the Flu FAST and Other Secrets

The flu is going around. There's no doubt about it. I've been hearing this quite often recently:

"How are you?"
"I've got the flu (groan)!"
"Aww, me too! Which kind did you get? (respiratory or stomach flu)"

Last weekend I hosted a Chinese New Year party at my house. Three out of 8 families had to cancel because they were down with the flu or pneumonia. That's how bad it is.

I watched everyone around me come down with the flu, and felt very grateful that I've been very healthy this winter. My whole family (everyone except me) came down with stomach flu right before Christmas. My son was throwing up all over the house. My daughter was down for a day. Even my husband, who is tough as an ox, was affected. Me, usually "The Weakest Link", was fine the whole time.

You want to know my secret? Read on.

I'm not totally invincible, of course. After the party last weekend, I too came down with the flu. I got all the flu symptoms. On Monday night, I was feverish, aching all over and couldn't stop shivering. I was totally miserable for 2 days. On the 3rd day, however, I bounced back, to my own surprise.

No, I didn't go to the doctor for quick-fix antibiotics. I didn't take any prescription or over-the-counter cold medicines, either. I healed my body the natural way.

A year ago, this kind of flu would've cost me up to a whole month of misery!

Last year, I was bombarded with colds, flus, sinus infections, asthma attacks and sometimes bronchitis. It got so bad at one point, I had to use my inhaler 2-3 times every night with little relief. Walking on the treadmill for 20 minutes would trigger asthma too. Forget about martial arts training or other workouts that I love. All my doctors could offer was more inhalers, steroids, and antibiotics.

They say when it rains, it pours. My neck and back were killing me at the same time. It turned out I've got mild disc herniations in 4 vertebrae. I went through months and months of physical therapy, neck traction, chiropractic care, 6 rounds of trigger points injections, and the pain always came back, sometimes within hours. The MD told me, my next option would be pain management. Again, more drugs. Stronger ones.

Growing up with 3 generations of medical doctors in my family and being a former RN myself, I know the long-term consequences of using these medications.

For me, there's another catch. You see, I was born with only one kidney and a family history of liver disease. I cannot afford to have these drugs destroy my kidney or my liver.

That's when I decided to look for other ways to heal myself, and I did. I no longer need pain killers and inhalers. I'm back to martial arts training, yoga, and other activities I love. I hardly get sick any more, and when I do, I know how to take care of myself. I'm so grateful for my health and everyone who has helped me get here.

I've learned, first hand, that you have to be your own advocate, and take charge of your own health. If you are a mom (or dad), you owe it to your children to be their advocate and learn all the available tools to help them. Sometimes it requires that you keep a very open mind to see the right tool.

So, how did I beat the flu so quickly? What did I do to heal myself?

Acupuncture has helped me tremendously (thank you Dr. James Kan and Chunyan Teng!) But, that's only one of the things I did last year. I'd tell you the rest of my secrets now, but it would spoil the fun.

Come to the Dr. Mom Teleclass I'm hosting on Friday 2/15, and you'll find out. There is no cost to attend. Keep an open mind, and you will learn SO much about how to take care of yourself and your loved ones.

Metaphysical Essential Oils for Emotional Healing and Personal Success

Do you know that essential oils (usually referred to as aromatherapy oils) can do more than calming your nerve and relaxing your body?

The essential oil of each plant has a distinct property and use. Some essential oils are considered metaphysical essential oils. They can raise your vibrational frequency and alter your emotional state (think Law of Attraction and The Secret). They are effective tools in managing emotional stress & anxiety, releasing past trauma, anger & fears, uplifting your spirit, empowering you into action, sharpening mental focus, attracting more abundance, etc.

Because of these effects, I've found essential oils an effective tool in helping my life coaching clients overcome emotional blocks, so they can get un-stuck and move forward (Check out my life coaching site for your FREE Intensive Self-Care Kit).

It's worth noting that the essential oils are a productivity and peak performance tool that's overlooked by most people and largely unknown to the Corporate America. I've started incorporating some essential oils (such as Clarity, Peppermint) in my training workshops to help my audience stay alert and mentally focused during training. For stress management workshops, Peace & Calming and Lavender are top choices.

When choosing essential oils, it's important to choose high-quality, therapeutic-grade essential oils. The perfume-grade essential oils that you normally see at Bath & Bodyworks or health food stores only contain 5-10% essential oils, which means the other 90-95% are chemicals & synthetics. The Young Living Essential Oils, on the other hand, are 100% pure therapeutic-grade essential oils. Their single oils carry the nutritional value labels, which means they can be ingested, inhaled, as well as applied directly on skin. Which would you rather put in your body -- pure essential oils or the chemicals?

Here are metaphysical and medicinal uses for some essential oils. You can find these Young Living Essential Oils on my website True Healing Oils.

Metaphysical Oil Blends:

Abundance - Enhances the frequency of the harmonic magnetic energy field that surrounds us. This higher frequency creates what is called the Law of Attraction, which helps you overcome "undeserving" mentality and attract more abundance in life. Apply to heart chakra for love, crown chakra for spiritual connection, throat for self-expression, kidney area for wealth, or diffuse in office & home.

Acceptance - Stimulates the mind to promote feelings of accepting ourselves and others, regardless of perceived barriers. This blend also helps overcome procrastination and denial.

Awaken - Helps bring about inner awareness and awakening. True understanding of one's self is the first step toward making successful changes and desirable transitions. This blend may help you progress toward your highest potential.

Believe - This blend has a steadying, balancing effect on emotions, providing feelings of strengths & faith, helping you overcome feelings of despair and move beyond them to a higher level of awareness. It helps release the unlimited potential everyone possesses, making it possible to experience health, happiness and vitality more fully.

Highest Potential - Increases your capacity to achieve your highest potential. Apply to crown chakra and third eye (forehead). By the way, world-renowned medical intuitive & psychic detective Nancy Orlen Weber (as seen on Discovery, Biography and Court TV) used this oil to overcome her unentitlement mentality and tripled her income in one month (listen to her story first-hand in this FREE Teleclass on Metaphysical Essential Oils for Personal Success).

Clarity - Enhances mental clarity & alertness, combat fatigue, provides more oxygen to your brain. Good for anyone who desires higher productivity, and those with ADD/ADHD (use it along with Brain Power and Peace & Calming)

Motivation - Helps you overcome procrastination & fears, while stimulating feelings of action and accomplishment. It enhances the ability to get unstuck and move forward in a positive direction.

Present Time - An empowering blend that heightens the sense of being "in the moment". Concentrating on the past can be counterproductive. You can go forward and progress when you can focus on the present time.

Envision - Stimulates creativity and resourcefulness, encouraging renewed faith in the future and the ability to maintain the emotional fortitude necessary to achieve goals and dreams. Sometimes in life, for a variety of reason, people supress their internal drive. Envision helps awaken and renew that drive to overcome fear, and begin experiencing new, more rewarding dimensions.

Transformation - Helps you stop "looping" (repeating the same negative emotional pattern) and overcome negative limiting beliefs, so you can move forward in life.

Trauma Life - Releases buried emotional trauma from accidents, neglect, death of a loved one, assault, or abuse.

Release - Releases anger, frustration and resentment (apply to liver area)

Forgiveness - Enhances the ability to release hurtful memories and move beyond emotional barriers. The process of growth can only proceed when we have the ability to forgive and let go of negative emotions, and let the past be the past.

Peace & Calming - Helps calm tension and uplift the spirit, promoting relaxation and a deep sense of peace. Great for promoting restful sleep and calming overactive & overtired children. (apply to pulse points, bottom of feet, diffuse in room)

Joy - Creates magnetic energy to uplift your mood and brings joy to the heart. Can be used as anti-depressant, wear as perfume or diffuse in the room.

Gathering - Helps overcome the chaotic energy that combards our everyday life and clouds our focus, thus diverting us from the path to higher achievement. Gathering combines Galbanum and Frankincense oils from resins used by Moses for incense with sandalwood to help gather our emotional and spiritual forces, so we can achieve greater unity of purpose.

Valor - An empowering blend that works with both the physical and spiritual aspect of the body to increase feelings of strength, courage and self-esteem in the face of adversity. Also helps energy alignment of the body. Great for neck & back pain too.

Dream Catcher - An exotic formula designed to enhance the process of dreaming and visualization, and protect you from negative dreams that may cloud your vision.

Dragon Time - A blend of calming and soothing essential oils including Clary Sage, which contains natural phytoestrogens, making it the perfect choice for women's emotions during special times and needs. Its balancing properties makes it a perfect choice for supporting normal, healthy emotions during the female monthly cycle. Recommended for both young and mature women.

White Angelica - Encourages feelings of protection and security. It combines oils used during ancient times to enhance the body's aura, which brings about a sense of strength and endurance. Many people use it as protection against negative energy (apply to shoulders). Great for therapists, coaches, energy healers, holistic medicine practitioners, massage therapists, etc.


Single Oils:

Frankincense - Metaphysical: Considered the holy annointing oil in the Middle East, improving one's spiritual connection & centering for religious ceremonies and visualizations, helps calm the mind to overcome stress and despair.

Experience the #1 Antioxidant Power to Fortify, Replenish and Rejuvenate Your Body

Copyright 2007, Carey Yang, PhD, Certified Personal Trainer, Your Dream Body WorkoutXpert

Why Antioxidant?

By now, you should have known that the oxidative stress generates superoxide free radicals in your body. Millions of these dangerous superoxide free radicals are currently damaging your health causing all sorts of illness, disease, fatigue and pre-mature aging problems.

Read my last post in case you miss this critical health issue >>

It's becoming well known in health, nutrition and medicine community that it's possible to protect or reclaim your nutritional health, possibly reverse disease and prevent illness, by eating antioxidant-rich nutrients or supplements to absorb and neutralize the superoxide free radicals.


What's the Most Powerful Antioxidant?

No other functional drink delivers more Super Oxide Dismutase (SOD) neutralizing capacity than NingXia Red™.

NingXia Red™ is a naturally delicious, nutrient-infused wolfberry drink that will energize, fortify, and replenish your body.

Rich in wide-spectrum antioxidant activity, NingXia Red has the highest levels of naturally occurring, age-defying S-ORAC (Super-Oxide Radical Absorbance Capacity) activity to help support immune function, cardiovascular health, and nourish the eyes.

S-ORAC testing meaures a product's abilitly to detroy the most dangerous and prevalent free radicals - Superoxides.


Why NingXia Red™?

An independent lab test data tells the whole story ...

Here is a S-ORAC comparison chart of NingXia Red™ with several other popular drinks.



What Does It Mean?

NingXia Red's S-ORAC activity rated at 363 is well off the chart and far exceeding other brands by a wide margin. In order to get the same benefit as drinking just 1oz of NingXia Red, you would have to drink:

> One and a half bottles of Via Viente™ or
> Eight bottles of Xango™ or
> Nine bottles of Noni™ or
> A whole truckload of Himalayan Goji™ !!!

These popular "functional drinks" don't compare to NingXia Red's activity. This third-party S-ORAC comparison is one of many ORAC comparisons that prove NingXia Red is in a class of its own.

What's in NingXia Red™?

NingXia Red starts with the finest organic, whole NingXia wolfberries grown without chemical fertilizers and pesticides. Only NingXia wolfberries carry legendary reputation, scientific validation, and delicious taste.

NingXia Red is made by Young Living's "Nutrient Guard" preparation to protect complete wolfberry benefits and activity.

It's then blended with clinically and historically proven super fruits (e.g., blueberry, pomegrante, red raspberry, dark grapes, apricots).

Finally NingXia Red is fortified with lemon and orange therapeutic-grade essential oils rich in the powerful antioxidant d-limonene to promote healthy liver function.

• Ningxia Wolfberry puree (50%) - the world's highest antioxidant food, rich in immune-stimulating polysaccharides, ellagic acid, cerebrosides, pyrroles, and other unique phytochemicals.
• Blueberry juice - rich in proanthocyanidins. Tufts University studies show that it protects blood cells against free radical oxidation and slows brain aging. University of Mainz studies shows that it protects cell DNA.
• Pomegranate juice - 3 times the antioxidant activity of green tea or red wine, reduces oxidized cholesterol by 40%.
• Raspberry juice - high levels of ellagic acid (cancer fighter)
• Apricot juice - revered for longevity support, contains beta carotene and vitamin C.
• Therapeutic Grade Essential Oils - Lemon (citrus limon) and Orange (citrus sinensis) both high in d-limonene which combats cell mutation.
• Nutrition Values (one serving = 1 oz)
  Calories: 19 per serving
  Total Carbohydrate: 4 grams per serving
  Dietary Fiber: 0.2 grams per serving
  Sugars: 3.4 grams per serving
  Sodium: 15 mg per serving
  Protein: 0.65 grams per serving
  Vitamin C: 180 mg per serving
  

What's Good in NingXia Red™?

Essential nutrients in NingXia Red help support normal cardiovascular function, normal eye health, normal cell growth and healthy live function.

The all-natural, powerful, nutrient-rich ingredients in NingXia Red help you provide:

• Dynamic energy and stamina without harmful stimulants (e.g., caffeine, refined sugar, ephedra)
• Key glyconutrients that fuel vital energy systems
• Unique protein-polysaccharides that help sustain proper immune function
• Highest levels of naturally occurring, age defying S-ORAC and ORAC activity
• Great taste with no sugary "junk-juices" (e.g., apple, white grape, pear)
• An amazingly low glycemic index of only 10.6 that does not spike blood sugar levels. (The glycemic index of table sugar is 83.)

Extensive medical research confirms that the wide-ranging and impactful benefits of NingXia Red's powerful nutrients. These nutrients support healthy liver function, increase immune activity, promote cellular health, encourage healthy eyesight, support healthy cholesterol levels and improve cellular energy production.

"When one understands that there are only a few basic mechanisms underlying all diseases, then it is extremely simple to see why NingXia Red is so effective for practically all ... organ systems." - Hugo Rodier, M.D., Adjunct Nutrition Professor, University of Utah

The wolfberry also has a high concentration of the branched chain amino acidL-leucine, that we can only obtain from our diet. Inside the body, L-leucine is converterd into a powerful compound called HMB (betahydroxy beta-methylbutyrate). To date, four human clinical studies have been completed, including a double-blind study at the American College of Sports Medicine in Minnesota. Test subjects who used only 3 grams of HMB a day gained up to 300% more lean muscle mass and experienced 295% gain in strength.

My Young Living Story and Exciting News

(Get a FREE Essential 7 Kit, details below)

Many of you know that I've been using the therapeutic-grade Young Living Essential Oils since a health scare last summer (I've blogged about it here). I can honestly say that the combination of acupuncture and the Young Living Essential Oils & supplements (especially NingXia Red, a super antioxidant energy drink made from Chinese goji berry) has helped me tremendously in relieving several health issues, including severe neck & back pain from herniated discs, migraine, asthma and frequent colds & sinus infections.

My husband commented the other day about the dramatic turnaround I have made since last winter, and we were both amazed. I've long stopped using pain killers, neck traction, physical therapy, and inhaler, and I haven't got sick (knock on wood!), not even once this winter, despite some severe weather here in northern NJ. I'm back to martial arts training and other activities I love. I'm SO grateful for regaining my health!!!

Last Fall, I hosted a two-part Essential Oils Teleclass with guest speakers Nancy Orlen Weber, RN and Christina M. Santiago, and I learned that the Young Living Essential Oils not only can heal the body, many metaphysical oil blends they have can also help people manage their negative emotions & stress, overcome limiting beliefs, fears & procrastination, improve productivity & focus, attract abundance, etc. So, I decided to offer the oils to my coaching clients and whoever can benefit, thus started True Healing Oils, a division of my coaching company Beyond Horizon Coaching. It's been great working with Christina and Nancy, and helping many others with their health & emotional challenges with Young Living Essential Oils.

By the way, do you know that most so-called aromatherapy oils you find in health food stores or stores like Bath & Body Works, only contain 5-10% essential oils? That means, the other 90-95% is chemicals. Those oils are the perfume-grade essential oils. On the other hand, the Young Living Essential Oils are 100% pure therapeutic-grade essential oils. Their single oils carry the nutritional value labels and they can be ingested, as well as inhaled & applied on skin. Which would you prefer to put in your body?

Anyway, I have some exciting news to share today.

1) Young Living Essential Oils is running a fabulous promotion in both December and January, which will end on January 15, 2008. Order for at least 250 PV (roughly equals $250) between December 1, 2007, and January 15, 2008, and receive a FREE Essential 7 Kit ($64 value). This kit includes seven of Young Living's most popular and versatile oils: lavender, lemon, peppermint, Joy™, PanAway®, Peace & Calming® and Purification®. You can order in both months and get TWO Essential 7 Kits for FREE (that's what I did). If you are thinking of ordering something this month, be sure to take advantage of this great promotion.

2) For those of you who know my Teleclass guest speakers Christina Santiago and Nancy Weber, RN -- BOTH of them won the "Serenade of the Seas" Southern Caribbean Cruise (April 12-19, 2008). Nancy won the FIRST PLACE (in the entire Young Living worldwide contest) for Grand Suite and airfare for two. Christina won Ocean View with Balcony and airfare for two.

Nancy's team has been #1 in sales in the entire Young Living company for the past few months. How awesome is that!

Visit this page for more details about the Cruise Contest and other monthly prizes.


3) Also, I thought you might like to know that Nancy has just made Gold level (her monthly commission is over $7,000) and Christina just made Silver level (her monthly commission is over $3,000). I asked Christina recently how long she has been working her Young Living business, and she said she didn't really start building her business until Spring of 2007. It's a business that can help many people heal their body, mind & spirit (which is very important to me), with great potential of earning tremendous income for you and your family.

If you would like to explore the Young Living Essential Oils business, please let me know, and I (along with Christina and Nancy) will do my best to help you create an action plan and help you achieve your goals. We have a world-class team of amazing healers & business-builders, and we would love to have you join us.

No matter what your personal & professional goals are, I wish you great success in 2008! Please do not hesitate to email or call me, if I can support you in anyway.
