As you consiously choose to eat healthy this week, contemplate what one single change can you make to improve the functioning of your body. What food that you’re eating actually will help you? Improve your life and health? Which ones may potentially harm you? Which ones remain questionable?

Cinda Crawford, host of the Health Matters Show

I often find myself sitting at the feet of two learned men, Dr. Wayne Dyer and Dr. Bruce Lipton, when it comes to the subject of healing and how the body does heal. I probably will never know everything these great men know. But then… they will never know what I know or what you know. Whether schooled or not, we all have a self-knowledge of healing.

I believe that not only did Dr. Bruce Lipton and Dr. Wayne Dyer learn how the body and brain function through such a mechanism as the biochemical serotonin, but they discovered why your body ultimately does not need pills like Prozac to heal itself and function more normally.

They discovered the basic language of how the body loves and thrives and, ultimately, how it is possible for healing to take the place of illness in life. Two key ingredients are intention and attention, but there’s more.

These are important lessons and purposeful mechanisms for people whose health tends to lean more toward sickness than wellness. If that unfortunately describes you, I urge you to be more intentional. Pay better attention in your life and how you can heal. And, finally, I have a couple of soul-searching questions that might make a big difference…

Where your health is concerned, what are you waiting for?

Why don’t you heal?

You may answer because I don’t know how to heal. Technically, that may be true if you’re only accessing your surface knowledge.

But you must look deeper, go deeper. Chances are no magic pill is coming your way to cure you. That means you must look elsewhere for your healing. I encourage you: don’t look too far. In this case, going deeper means going inside of you for the answer.

Dear One, know on this Sunday that, in this way, you are the creator of your destiny. God ordained the universe and you to function in that capacity. He gave you the ability to makes choices, create and manifest. He gave your body the ability to heal itself. Whether it’s a conscious or unconscious act, you truly were born with the ability of healing… to heal yourself. “You” may simply have forgotten how to do it. Never forget: together, you and the Almighty can achieve true wonders in your life.

How? What? Which ones? The choice is yours. I encourage you to make healing a priority and seek out the knowledge “again” of how to heal.

Dr. Wayne Dyer and Dr. Bruce Lipton are surely bringing you great information today by way of this video. They are both smart men and have studied, written about, spoken about and demonstrated their beliefs that what you think and believe in is critical. Your thoughts have incredible power in your life. So as your beliefs impact your health, be sure not to let your (negative) beliefs add to your misery. Why do I say that? Because what you believe is absolutely critical! If you believe disease is part of your reality, it is. If you believe in health and healing, that is true as well!

Dear One, when you have your still, quiet moments with God today, I hope that you feel that you live in a “safe” universe. Don’t let fear rule your life and your health. God guides each of us through the valleys that we walk. He will not forsake us. He promised. Know that no matter what has happened until now, regaining a measure of your health is still possible. You can manifest healing. Learn How to Heal Yourself.

If I’ve made you curious, ask me how I know this.

PS- You may remember that there are books in my suggested reading list and in the Amazon store here by Wayne Dyer and Bruce Lipton. They are classics in understanding why and how it’s possible, as an energy and spiritual being created by God, that you can have a more conscious, happier and healthier life. Remember, how you choose to live your life is your choice.

Many blessings of this good Sunday,

(See below- a video of a brave young man who took charge of his life!)

Catch a great explanatory video here. (Later on when you get a chance, please share it with others!)

Factor #1 professional medical people use a diagnosis of exlusion: because there are no clear-cut laboratory tests, x-rays or even specific bio-markers that one can point to and say, “See there. This person has Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.” That makes figuring out the presence of CFS in anyone quite challenging. (Note: there is a cluster of symptoms associated with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and the presence of quite a few of them suggests that someone may be sick with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.)

Recently reported at the…

BMC Medicine website:

At present, and despite much effort, there are no investigative tools or physical signs that can confirm the presence of CFS and it remains a diagnosis of exclusion.

Factor #2 they use the diagnosis of exclusion: because neither scientists nor doctors have come up with any clear-cut methods for getting you well from CFS. Some specialists can get you on the road to health a bit faster, albeit at a high cost, but the average general practice doctor would rather treat you for any other condition which is technically and actually treatable!

Yes, there are a few medicines around to help ease symptoms like depression and pain. But what is the reasoning for having you take prescription drugs? To cure you? No. Hopefully the drugs will help you to feel better. During that time period, you will be giving your body the time it needs to heal itself, if possible. And that is a clear picture because, in the end, your body does all the hard work of getting well.

To most people correcting the symptoms and physical problems caused by CFS can be confusing at best, often impossible to achieve and/or a totally unaffordable and discouraging pursuit for many!

After you view the video, check out the answer for healing yourself that is located at the Get Well Health website, a sister blog and resource to the Health Matters Show. No matter how you go about it, getting well is up to you. I’m betting that you want all the help you can get.

Thank you so much for joining me today on the Health Matters Show. Please take the time to share your healing experiences and how you got diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome by leaving a comment.

See this cute, short video he did about how to “Bounce for Health with Dr. Norm Shealy” with his wife and granddaughter. Then make plans to join me on Friday to hear his wisdom about how to heal from Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. He offers us some really special information.

If you can and should do it… bouncing for even a few seconds at a time will put a smile on your face & will really work your muscles. If you can’t or should not do bouncing, simply walking for a few minutes several times a day will help. The point I am making is to do something. If you get completely de-conditioned because of total inactivity, it will be that much harder to get your body in shape once you’re ready to heal and re-start your life.

*I think as a kid, I did most of my bouncing by jumping rope. Now that was an aerobic exercise… you better believe it! I’m sure it’s beyond my capability now, but I am getting stronger everyday and gaining more stamina.

Cinda Crawford, host of the Health Matters Show

Hear this short clip where he interviews the always great Carolyn Myss, Ph.D. This video is entitled Spiritual Starvation. Even in hearing the term spiritual starvation, we are caused to wonder. The words do not give us an immediate or clear picture of what these two experts will talk about.

Before listening to this, you and I would probably think of ’spiritual’ as matters relating only to the soul and heart. And certainly we think of ’starvation’ as a physical body situation created by lack of food. Yet both of these terms are related. Hear how this is so inside of the minds and wisdom of Dr. C. Norman Shealy and Dr. Carolyn Myss in this short-clip video. It’s only one minute an twelve seconds.

Be sure to return here at the Health Matters Show on Friday. (I’ll present you with a short, but fantastic snippet of my interview with Dr. C. Norman Shealy on Friday as the podcast. To hear the whole thing, you need to sign up on my teleseminar list. Then you’ll get the whole fantastic interview automatically and “free” of charge!

Thanks so much. Many blessings to you on this beautiful day that God has made.

Happy Sunday Sharing, Cinda Crawford

The ABC points of today’s show are based on an article I published this week entitled, Chronic Fatigue: Healthcare Crisis ABCs. Go grab yourself a copy if you like at Ezine Articles and then circulate the video attached to today’s Health Matters Show podcast. You can send folks right here or you’re welcomed to download a copy, if you like.

Folks, we need to 1) take care of ourselves and find ways to get healthy, and 2) alert the world to the plight of people with Fibro & CFS. We’re in this together and there truly is power in numbers. The only way that the nation is going to get rid of the collective “us” as perpetual patients and drains on the US economy is to find answers that help a lot of people to get well. Then and only then is it likely that hundreds of thousands of people (maybe millions!) will feel better, be able to return to their jobs and be tax paying citizens again. Now, that would be an economic boost if I ever saw one!

I urge you to Tweet this file or go directly to Facebook and “friend” me. You can find me at http://www.cindaonfacebook.com. Leave comments on the podcast here, on Ezine Articles or on Facebook. I make no bones about pushing the agenda that it’s smart and it’s necessary to get well from these illnesses. And furthermore, I will tell this message to anyone who will listen!

Thanks, Cinda Crawford

PS- I’m sorry not to have Dr. C. Norman Shealy on the show today. I got my scheduling dates mixed up. Lord willing, the good doctor will be on the show next Friday. Be sure to sign up for my teleseminar list so that you can hear the entire interview. Only a snippet of our discussion will be posted here. People already on my list will receive the whole audio file automatically. Have a good one!

So I encourage you to watch this video below that I recorded on Saturday. Be sure to turn your speakers on and then sit back and relax. Let the sounds of the waterfall lighten your load, tickle your ears and send you into a daydreaming trip of delight… just imagining how good you will feel when you get well from Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.

Notice that the fish are happy and healthy. Yes… it’s true that keeping up the pond is a bit of work, but maintaining it gives my husband and I both exercise. All in all, it adds so much pleasure to our lives. Plus, having this idyllic environment right out our back door helps to meet our relaxation and spiritual needs every single day. We consider it one more mechanism that helps us get closer to God.

I hope you enjoy the video and feel closer to Him too on this edition of Sunday Sharing. Daydreaming is good for the soul.

I promised you that I would put in the same effort right along with you to answer these “trouble questions.” I am doing that. However, I am having one quick thought concerning the question D) Are you the same person you were before you got ill? How are you changing?

Imagine for a moment… that you are the raw material that a blacksmith uses. He pounds it time and time again on the anvil with his big hammer, adjusting its shape, making it stronger and tougher. He put it in a hot fire to sear it; that action first makes it more pliable, but ultimately, makes it harder. The whole process becomes arduous and possibly exhausting for both parties, but in the end, the material is made into a useful object that will stand the test of time. It will perform with grace even when enduring additional and worse stresses.

To illustrate this, see the video below of a blacksmith. You only have to watch a couple moments of it before you notice the tough pounding on the metal. The bends and curves then the straightening effect from the hard, persistent hammer. Ask yourself, how is your life like that? Is the ultimate blacksmith working on you?

Dear One, if you feel that you have trouble transforming and/or becoming a better person in the face of your illness and adversity, know that God loves you. The challenges that you face will help you to grow.

Be hopeful and look to God for your inspiration and hope for what tomorrow will bring. Receive His best blessings of healing and nourishment by being open and unafraid, even when He bends and curves you like a blacksmith.

*Note: We are only covering a tiny sliver of The Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren. If you don’t have a copy, pick yours up today.

‘A new infectious disease is spreading in large areas of Mainland China. Symptoms are similar to AIDS but it spreads faster between family members, even via bodily fluids like saliva.

Mr. Lin from Yunnan Province caught a disease last May, unlike anything he had seen before.’

The illness in China is supposedly spread by person to person contact (Hint: viral infectious nature?), which is unlike and outside of the normal, accepted criteria for CFSME. Although there are many precautions about giving blood at this time if you suffer with CFSME, no one is coming to the conclusion that this “illness” is absolutely infectious by nature. Whether that is true or not remains to be proven. If it is concluded to be a true hypothesis, you have to ask yourself why do some people get sick and others don’t. The answers are critically important.

Such a viral outbreak of a fatigue illness was experienced, reported and studied in the close American community of Incline Village, Nevada in 1980).

I encourage you to leave your comments and opinions below. What do you think is happening? Is this CFSME? Could it be another form of the fatigue illness that is more easily “caught”??

Cinda Crawford, host of the Health Matters Show

I hope you enjoy this video and take it to heart. It’s the new “Learning to Dance in the Rain” by Simple Truths. Through the years Simple Truths has gained quite a following.

To me this video speaks of the rain that comes into your life when you’re sick with an illness like Fibromyalgia or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. It’s message is about the power of gratitude and keeping hope alive in your life. I know this is true because I’ve been where you are today. There is hardly anything more powerful to feel when you’re sick than gratitude and, on really bad days, it may be the toughest feeling to feel. That doesn’t mean it’s not important and it doesn’t mean you cannot have that feeling if you seek to feel it. So I encourage you…

If you have ME/CFS or know someone who does, you realize what an important day Awareness Day is. It means you can shout to the rooftops about what this illness has taken away from you -and- what it still could claim. Please watch the video and leave a comment.

This could be you. It definitely could be me, except I never looked as good as the lady in the bikini twenty years ago. The important thing is that you and I do what we can to increase the world’s awareness of this horrible illness! After you watch the video, be sure to check my ending remarks below. Thanks, Cinda

My best wishes for your return to health, always, Cinda Crawford

PS- If you’re looking for a way out of ME/CFS, I encourage you to try many things. Be sure to check out my suggestion below and do it today. Time is running out on this special offer for something I’m doing. It’s important. It’s good and it possibly can work for you. Know that in your heart of hearts… I would really like to help you feel better!

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!

Cinda Crawford

So that leads me to make a request of you and I’d like to have your response:

If you were able to ask someone like Dr. Donnica Moore one or two specific questions about Fibromyalgia, what would they be?

Please leave your response in a comment below. I have several teleseminars planned in honor of Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Awareness Day and these questions will be a big help! (Also, sign up to receive a notice about the teleseminar schedule in the appropriate box in the right-hand column. It would be an honor to have you in the audience. )

(See the video below about Relief from Fibromyalgia.)
