Often putting your health first is not easy and not an option for many reasons. For me, though, it’s a necessity right now. In originally getting well from Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and other illnesses, I was like an athlete suddenly waking from a horrible nightmare and wanting to bolt out of the gate. (Learn “how” with the video below.)

Thankfully, that revival happened over six years ago. I enjoy great energy and few symptoms most of the time, but currently…I’m struggling. Why? Probably from stress and burning the proverbial candle at both ends. So you ask…

Answer: In being truly transparent with you, my audience, I plan to drop back and return to basics by taking some downtime for “Cinda”. I’ll spend time being revived and refreshed using the energy and spiritual healing work that helped me heal in the first place! With Sacred Cellular Healing!

I hope you enjoy the following video that explains this even better. And, I promise to update you on my progress as I feel better.

Here’s a belief I believe we all share: as human beings living in a complicated modern society, we all are at the mercy of stress in our lives. I didn’t suddenly “run down”. The truth is my engine has felt challenged, running slower and darned rough for awhile. So, logically, I will be working to recoup my vitality. My efforts to feel better may take some time to work because the stress in my life is not going away simply because it’s affecting me negatively. We’ll have to see how I do. Either way I promise to check back in with you for an update.

So…how about you? What are you doing to feel better? How are you getting well? What do you have to fall back on when your health and life are challenged and stress is cracking your whip?

Two of the most recognized, hallmark symptoms of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome are fatigue (or lethargy) and immune system dysfunction. Today let’s not address fatigue but immune system dysfunction, possibly one of the more elusive symptoms of any chronic illness of this type. Can it be seen or witnessed in the dis-ease or ill health of the patient? Yes. Can it be measured? Yes. Can it be explained? No. What causes it? Scientists don’t know. Can the immune system dysfunction be corrected and the body’s “germ” fighting ability be returned to normal? Sometimes, over time, a person’s body will gradually begin to return to a more normal state, but what about the people whose bodies and systems never recover? What has gone awry and affected them so severely?

Well…scientific researchers and doctor investigators do not yet have those answers. (*I have my own ideas and talk about the possibility of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome healing on another page.) But today let’s look at a recent research study entitled, Chronic fatigue syndrome, the immune system and viral infection, as published in the journal Brain Behavior Immunology. (This excerpt is offered ahead of standard print by E-pub.) *Notice how they do not talk about getting well or healing.

Note, as published: Immune system abnormalities in ME and CFS are most likely not a single specific aberration, but rather a pattern possibly reflecting the microbe(s)/toxins involved as well as disease stage of the patient.

Chronic fatigue syndrome, the immune system and viral infection.

Bansal AS, Bradley AS, Bishop KN, Kiani S, Ford B., Dept. of Immunology, Epsom and St. Helier University Hospitals NHS, Trust, Carshalton, Surrey, SM5 1AA and Chronic Illness Research Team, Stratford Campus, University of East London, London E15 4LZ, UK.

Abstract

The chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), as defined by recent criteria, is a heterogeneous disorder with a common set of symptoms that often either follows a viral infection or a period of stress. Despite many years of intense investigation there is little consensus on the presence, nature and degree of immune dysfunction in this condition.

However, slightly increased parameters of inflammation and pro-inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin (IL) 1, IL6 and tumour necrosis factor (TNF) ? are likely present. Additionally, impaired natural killer cell function appears evident. Alterations in T cell numbers have been described by some and not others.

While the prevalence of positive serology for the common herpes viruses appears no different from healthy controls, there is some evidence of viral persistence and inadequate containment of viral replication. The ability of certain herpes viruses to impair the development of T cell memory may explain this viral persistence and the continuation of symptoms.

New therapies based on this understanding are more likely to produce benefit than current methods.

*Please leave your thoughts and comments here about the immune system’s involvement in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/ CFS/ CFIDS. Why do you think your body has given in to immune system dysfunction, is not righting itself and is not healing?

CFS and childhood trauma can easily be linked together. Think of your accidents, scrapes, falls, and mishaps when you were little. Then think of all of the other kinds of trauma that you could experience as a youngster besides physical trauma. Wow. It’s a lot! I’ll cover some of it starting with the birth process and demonstrate how it can be intimately related to CFS.

I remember how awkward I was as a child. I’m still pretty clumsy. I had more knee scrapes and bike wrecks than any one kid should have. But before that I had the severe trauma of an abnormal birth. My mother’s labor stopped in the middle of the process and some badly-handled forceps pulled me from her body. Not to mention the fear I must have felt, physically I looked like a monster by the time they took me to the nursery. Barely alive and wondering if I should hang on… .

(That passage is paraphrased from my new book, which is almost ready for publication, From the Floor…Looking Up. Sign up in the box at the right to get the notices and special goodies surrounding its release!)

Studies have been done that indicate that CFS may be brought on by trauma like a car accident. A recent study by the CDC found that childhood trauma can be a risk factor-although the CDC points out that childhood difficulties do not cause the disorder. They insinuate a pre-sickness trigger or pre-event that is the subject of their investigation.

Think how possible it is that:

• the energy from every argument you ever witnessed remains lodged within you
• every memory cell in your body can recall every physical pain or traumatic event that you’ve ever had
• every negative spiritual encounter continues to ravage your soul and deny it peace
• every trauma you have ever experienced is still a part of you, that is…UNTIL YOU WORK TO REMOVE IT.

Removing these kinds of trauma will give your mind, body and spirit a clean slate and enable your own healing. You were meant to be healthy.

Yes, the CDC has found evidence of neuroimmune-endocrine dysfunction, but any sacred, energetic healer could have told you that. I work with these types of trauma in my clients everyday. The damage from unresolved trauma is as real as it gets. Hello illness!

CDC: ‘It is increasingly clear that persons with CFS have altered responses to physical, mental, and emotional stressors. Moreover, physical, infectious, and emotional stressors are risk or triggering factors of CFS. A large body of evidence shows that stress early in life (such as childhood abuse, neglect and loss), within a genetic window of vulnerability, permanently programs an individual’s responsiveness to subsequent stress throughout the lifespan.

These long-term consequences of early life stress occur through direct effects on brain circuits involved in the mediation of cognitive-emotional regulation, vigilance, arousal, and the integration of endocrine, autonomic, and immune regulatory systems. Of note, similar changes in these circuits and regulatory outflow systems have been implicated in the pathophysiology of CFS.’

It’s also no longer impossible to get rid of these negative energies and the damage they inflicted upon you. Think about how this could really help and be the answer you’ve been searching for. Email me with your questions: cinda(at)getwellhealth.com.

PS- I invite your comments. Be anonymous if you like. Have you ever suffered because of something horrible someone said to you? Done to you? Inflicting long term damage on you that you’ve never gotten over?

Here on the Health Matters Show podcast and blog post today, we’re talking about CFS and Sacred Healing Resolutions. (See the audio podcast file below.)

Today’s show is happy to link together two parts of the CFS discussion: the physical nature of CFS discoveries, such as with spinal fluids and the spiritual or sacred nature of getting well.

First off, recently 3,000 proteins were discovered in the spinal fluids of people who suffer with the illness and from those with Lyme disease. As quoted from the source material:

‘We discovered that both diseases- chronic fatigue syndrome and post-treatment neurological Lyme disease- are central nervous system disorders,’ said Steven Schutzer, professor of medicine at UMDNJ. ‘They have their own characteristic set of spinal fluid proteins that lets us distinguish one from the other.’

So what does this really mean? To me it indicates that how there is at least one definite marker for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Are there more implications for this find? You bet. Here are some important ones to think about… .

(8 minutes 25 seconds)

When you’re talking illness, scientists and researchers look for proof that an active process of some kind is going on or has recently occurred. When they find it, that’s proof. Spinal proteins don’t just happen. Something must be happening to cause them. Now that researchers have this much data, they can keep moving forward to discover a more complete meaning.

The scientists doing this research purport that because of this finding of the spinal proteins, CFS must be a central nervous system disorder. Right now, most everyone involved with this illness considers it a multi-system health problem. Is the Immune System involved? Yes. Digestive irregularities? Yes. Lymph gland dysfunction? Very possible. Musculo-skeletal problem? Maybe; symptoms are present in most people.

This issue of CFS being a central nervous system illness probably won’t go away. Think of the pain-ratcheting-up effect of chronic pain, making it finally unbearable. Think of the discrepancies with signals and the out of balance functioning of biochemicals and hormones. And don’t forget exhaustion, depression, anxiety, panic attacks and brain fog!

You are a unique individual person created by God. He created you to be healthy and happy, giving your mind, body and spirit the capacity to interact with each other and to heal. That is a very special miracle and it occurs in you ALL the time! That is, at least until you get sick. When you get ill, normal communications break down, either a little or a lot. Some degree of illness results. With Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, it’s a lot of dysfunction!

Think about this deeply for a moment. Your body has no reason to create 3000 spinal proteins unless something is urging it to do so. A virus? Maybe. A bacteria? Maybe. Your body’s reaction to the onslaught of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome? Likely. *Just think of the cause as something that’s not supposed to be a part of you.*

You will feel better and get a tighter grip on your health, when you take charge of doing the process, not farming out the responsibility to someone of some thing else. This is dramatically proven true when you add in the concept of a total mental, physical and spiritual approach. (*What you do, don’t neglect honoring the sacred part of you. As His child, God wants you to healthy and happy. He designed you to be and live in a healthy manner.

This is one simple, but powerful idea to help you turn your health around. But, make no mistake, God wants your interaction and communication with Him.

So start today. Take action by adopting these 3 Sacred Healing Resolutions:

• Resolve to come up with a whole mind, body, spirit plan of action and approach to your illness;
• Resolve to find alternative healing people to help you attain this goal;
• Read and research the benefits of energy and sacred healing.

In a few days, I’ll bring you a special article about “sacred healing.” Please return so you won’t miss a thing!

(Video: 5 minutes 57 seconds.)

The Truth About Healing is a video explaining the fact that there are a lot of people capable of healing, even people suffering with Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. I know this is true because I help many of those same people. I work with them constantly as they progress, get healthier and work to reclaim their lives. Through God’s grace, through their beliefs, their efforts and the introduction to the concepts of Sacred Cellular Healing as one-on-one clients or as members of the Learn How to Heal Membership Course, they are doing it. They are getting their health back. They are getting their lives back!

You’ve probably heard people say, “There is no cure for Fibromyalgia,” or “You’re doomed if you have a bad case of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.” Neither statement is true.

My clients are being successful and so many of them are enjoying better health. I’m shouting “Hoorah!” and doing my Snoopy dance. This work is fun and thrilling.

But all kidding aside, please know this is one of the most critical life issues that a person saddled with chronic illness can face. I support each individual directly or indirectly through the healing course with every ounce of energy, skill and faith that I have. I’m sure you wish them well, too.

Some of the people that I see are private clients. I work with them one-on-one in Roanoke, Virginia. Others I consult with at a distance over the phone, via Skype or on private teleconferences. Because this healing technique involves spiritual/energy healing, distance of a mile or 5,000 miles is of absolutely no consequence.

Sacred Cellular Healing is based on 1) spiritual and energetic universal laws that have no boundaries and 2) the spiritual concept that holds this statement as absolute truth: God Has No Limitations.

My clients in the third group are enrolled in Learn How to Heal Yourself membership course. Check it out right here on this page before you go and the oh-so-fantastic special offer that I bring you today. If you want more healing in your life, be sure to enroll in this course.

Healing your mind, body and spirit is more possible than ever. You only need to have 2 things: an attitude that somewhere, somehow, there is healing in your future and you really, really want it! And, you need to act and seek out that healing.

I hope you feel better, get well and learn the truth about healing, too!

Cinda Crawford of Roanoke, Virginia, host of the Health Matters Show and creator of the Learn How to Heal Yourself membership course

When I was so sick, all I thought about was how to get well from CFS, in other words, healing CFS. The very thought of not getting better from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome was unfathomable, even during my darkest days. Today, I find it sad to hear many people ‘not talk’ about healing CFS.

Instead, it’s more common to hear people say things like “People don’t get well from CFS,” or “I’m doomed to be sick for the rest of my life.” Whether that is a conscious attempt at garnering self-pity or not, maintaining that type of thinking can be unwise and downright dangerous! So stop talking like that to yourself, if you really want to get well.

Doctors who know better will tell you that people do get well from CFS. Some people must maintain a few restrictions or limitations, but consider themselves otherwise pretty healthy. Others are able to resume active lives. A lucky few are able to live to the max, virtually full throttle, Katie bar the doors.

The Health Matters Show today wants to encourage you to believe that healing CFS is just as much a possibility for you as it is for anyone else. (No matter how long you’ve been sick. I was very ill for fifteen years before I got better.)

Stick around and listen to the Health Matters Show audio podcast today. I explain more of what I mean by healing CFS and I’ll even tell you how to heal and get well from CFS…

(Audio podcast is 10 minutes 52 seconds.)


I’m not going to pack this post with a lot of advertisement. No. I simply want to invite you to go to the page that explains the healing program that I make available to you. It’s called Learn How to Heal.

Note: If you want a more direct and faster approach, may I suggest private Sacred Cellular Healing sessions. Email me: cinda (at) getwellhealth.com with your inquiry. Both programs are based on the same mind, body, spirit approach and involve the same healing technique. It’s just that with private sessions, I do a lot of the work for you. In the membership course, you need to be prepared to get actively involved in your own healing. Both methods work well and most people enjoy a wonderful degree of health improvement. In short, “they get well.”

Sacred Cellular Healing and the Learn How to Heal Yourself membership program are proprietary to me and I designed them with your needs in mind.

If you don’t take anything else away from here today, know how incredibly important it is to…

Cinda Crawford, host of the Health Matters Show

If you are curious about the new healing technology called Sacred Cellular Healing (SCH), you’re not alone. I’ve had quite a few people ask me lately for more information, more explanation and maybe a first hand account from someone who’s done well with using this technique. Essentially, a testimonial about healing and “how” SCH is so effective.

So here is a video of a recent client of mine, Lori Webber. She was anxious to do this when I approached her about the possibility. I think the reason for that is because she feels so much better.

So here’s special thanks to Lori for her kind words and the great explanation she offers in her testimonial about how Sacred Cellular Healing worked so well for her.

Ps-s-s-s-st…Lori really is a great gal. “Friend” her over on Facebook under the name, “Lori Hillman Webber.” Lori is now feeling great and having fun selling Premier Designs Jewerly.

PS- It is possible for you to get private Sacred Cellular Healing work done with me in person or at a distance. [Send your interest and questions to cinda (at) getwellhealth.com.]

Or, if you’re a ‘can do’ type of person, you can take your healing more in your own hands and investigate the “free” to low cost Learn How to Heal Yourself Membership Course. You will learn how to heal while taking this course! Be sure to check out both of these options while you’re here.

*The link to sign up for the membership course is the first thing you see on the top right of the blog underneath the video.

Dear One, it’s time that you got rid of Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome… isn’t it?

Cinda Crawford, host of the Health Matters Show -and-
Creator of Sacred Cellular Healing

If you’re sick, when it comes to motivation and action, you may need a little (or a big) tune-up from time to time. That’s because…

Okay… okay… I know I may have opened up a proverbial can of worms last week with Part 1, but I’m really hoping that it caused you to think a lot about this topic. It’s time for Part 2 and letting you in on the real truth about attitude.

It’s important to ask ourselves– what does attitude have to do with motivation or taking action? As it turns out, attitude has a direct bearing on your motivation and what action(s) you decide to take.

So, whether we human beings are sick or well with Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome or some other illness, we’re better off when…

You are better off when “the thing” that you desire seems to come from a deep, urgent place within you, when you are inspired to take action (even if it takes a lot of courage to take that action!) -and- when your desire is closely aligned with the planning, work, struggle, and the amount of time and energy that you’re willing to put into it. Truthfully, getting well is an investment of you in you. It is a telling indication of when you’re dedicated to a purpose. Now, is this beginning to make sense? Are you getting it?

If you do all of the “right” things and you enjoy being healthy, the results make you feel good about yourself. There’s a real sense of hope and accomplishment.

However if you’re sick, there is this immediate sense of failure. You feel lousy and seem to do all the “wrong” things, nine times out of ten. You have trouble accomplishing our goals (sometimes to the extent that you can’t even see your goals clearly). That makes the results disappointing and not the outcome you wanted at all!

On this Sunday, your job is to recognize the state of your attitude and change it, if it’s negative. Having and maintaining a positive attitude -and- planning and preparing for having a healthier body, mind and spirit will lead you closer to attaining your goals.

There’s a big part of me that believes that at the heart of every person who suffers with a chronic illness, they ‘expect’ and ‘wait’ for the return of their good health. After all, under normal circumstances when we’re sick, we get better and we eventually heal, correct?

And, whether you can easily admit it or not, on those days when you’re feeling horrible and in a frightfully, foul or depressed mood, you know that you want to be healthy and feel good. You want to feel well again. You want your life back!

Dear One…, just for a moment, you have my absolute permission to drift off into dreamland and close your eyes. (Assuming you’re not driving or operating heavy machinery.) Breathe deeply. Relax. Let your past, bad health days fade away. Take the time to gently remind yourself:

• 1) How important it is in life to be patient and wait for God to show up and reveal what you must know about yourself and what you need to do to be healthy;

• 2) And how crucial it is for you to seek His will in the healing process.

May these two goals go hand in hand and work together for your good.

I’ve done that at a major level several times in my life, but the most recent one was when I asked God to give me the capability of helping other people feel better. He had provided the means to heal me and I knew how wonderful that would be for others… other people like you. He did this by granting me the gift of the Sacred Cellular Healing Protocol!

It didn’t happen overnight. In fact it was a long and difficult process to develop all of the elements of this healing tool, but finally my dream is coming to full fruition thanks to God’s mercy, grace and favor.

The bounty of love and gratitude that I feel is only surpassed by the end result that I pray for: hundreds and thousands of people getting their lives back again! That dream motivates me and leads me to take bold action.

*To see a recent testimonial from a lady who used to be sick with Fibromyalgia and, after SCH work now has her life back, see the video of Lori Webber.

Because you and I are human and our baser nature screams for its needs to be met in a quick and easy fix, it’s easy to lose focus and get sidetracked when the results are not immediate. Let’s face it… when that happens our ability to take action may not be readily there because our motivation and attitude have taken a slap in the face.

But if you can keep the right attitude- one of openness to healing and acceptance of God’s will- and if the situation presents itself- like one of learning and understanding new ways that might promote your healing- then it’s time for you to add up all of the pluses and minuses and see what’s really staring you right in the face.

Life’s answers may not come quickly or easily at times, but they’re often more accessible than you realize. Today the answer to your health problems with Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome may be yours for the taking if you really listen and adopt a “can do” attitude.

I hope you’ve enjoyed this 2-part series about attitude, motivation and action. Thanks so much for joining me on Sunday Sharing. May your day be glorious!

Even though I work in the healing business of helping people heal, I shy away from calling myself a healer. I believe that God is the ultimate healer. You and I are capable of little without His help.

Still, every once in awhile, people will tell me that what I do is nothing short of incredible. I guess that’s because SCH is so different and the process works well.

Decide for yourself with the following 3 truisms, plus something I’ve discovered… the fact that I’m not the only person who thinks this way or is saying these things:

Listen to the 10 minute 9 second audio podcast by pressing the small right-facing arrow on the bar. (Or, feel free to download it.)

• ONE, All true healing work comes from God. When it corresponds to His will, I believe that our Father designs healing tools and puts us to work using them in people’s lives. He gives us new information all the time. He gave me the knowledge of how to design Sacred Cellular Healing (SCH) and I am very grateful.

As the servant, I carry out the work He gives me to do (a) by helping people feel better, and (b) by teaching and coaching others about the concepts and philosophies of Sacred Cellular Healing. Very soon, the people who study and become skilled in doing SCH will be able (through certification training) to go out into the world and also do this type of healing work. I not only will give them my permission to do so, but also my blessing to manifest this important service work! (More details about this important event will be out soon.)

• TWO, I titled this healing modality Sacred Cellular Healing because it has a divine origin and nature and, as a comprehensive health tool, it works from the smallest cellular structures out, the cells;
• THREE, Sacred Cellular Healing is birthed from the underlying concepts that you and I are a combination of mind, body and spirit.

On this earthly planet, you and I are spirits living in physical bodies. Every Bible teaching I know supports this concept. We ultimately will shed our body one day and live solely as spirit.

Recently I came upon an article on the internet by Dr. Michael J. Funicello, DC, from the Infinite Healing Arts Center of Gilbert, Arizona. The article is entitled, Local Chiropractor Confesses to the World. Dr. Funicello tells about some of the early beginnings of Chiropractic care back in 1895 with Daniel David Palmer when he was not known as a chiropractor. The term had not been invented. Dr. Funicello not only tells about D. D. Palmer’s success in helping people, but also about how he began chiropractic and how chiropractic began changing people’s lives by way of dramatically improving their health.

Now, with a little different emphasis, that’s effectively what I’ve been saying all along.

God made your body.

He gave it innate wisdom and He gave it the capability to heal.

Under most circumstances, it still can heal itself.

God is the giver of life and health and is the supreme healer.

Trust that He will provide a way out of the muck and mire that you and I call bad health and the chronic illnesses known as Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.

That answer for you may come through experiencing the marvelous touch and work of someone like Dr. Funicello, who will be speaking on the Health Matters Show soon! Stay tuned for the schedule.

Or- your answer may come from some other type of healer like myself.

The point is that healing is God’s work. If you’re looking for answers, you’ll find healing in the touch and work of many different practitioners. He provides us wonderful doctors, chiropractors, therapists and other professionals to help us. He provides other answers, too. Your job is to seek out the right answers for your life.

One of my favorite sayings is that “God is large and in charge!”

I invite you to email me with your questions about Sacred Cellular Healing. Check out the SCH reference page. I will be starting the membership program classes soon to teach you its concepts, how to do it for yourself and, possibly, learn how to do it for other people, too.

This is an exciting time!

Cinda Crawford, your host of the Health Matters Show and creator of Sacred Cellular Healing

When we’re having fun, we’re smiling and life is grand, however, people who suffer with a chronic illness like Fibromyalgia or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, often cannot begin to imagine better times, getting well or having any fun at all. I encourage you to turn your back on that type of thinking. Instead, today, let’s simply let our minds wander, dream and contemplate “the possibility” of healing.

For today there are only 2 things to think about. Then finish up by watching a precious video below. It will make you smile!

HINT HINT HINT…

If you are smiling, there is no way chronic illness can get the best of YOU in that moment!

Activitiy #1) Smile. If you smile, you’re happy and you don’t feel sad. It is literally impossible to be sad and smile at the same exact moment. Your face won’t allow it.

Activity #2) Dream. If you dream, you’re thinking of the future. As such, you’re imagining what “could be” and even going so far as imagining that your future is real– right now.

Take a moment to smile. Dream. Better options for your getting well and getting over Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and other types of chronic illness are right around the corner.

Thanks, Cinda Crawford, your host of the Health Matters Show

*I really enjoy hosting the show and creating a means for your getting well from chronic illness. Plus, it’s my pleasure to provide you with access to an extraordinary health tool. Take the time to learn about Sacred Cellular Healing (SCH). You may be one of the lucky people to discover a way to actually get well, recover from chronic illness and get on with the rest of your life!
