<p>You might hear these probing questions from a friend, a colleague, a co-worker or a relative. How would you answer them?<br />

What are you actively doing to recover from Fibromyalgia or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome? Find the answers right now with <b>alternative health tools</b>.</p>

<blockquote>I figure that it&#8217;s not an exaggeration to say that you want to get well from Fibromyalgia /or/ Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Am I right?</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p><em><strong><font color="2f8c8c">&#8211;No, it&#8217;s not an exaggeration at all. I&#8217;ve love to get well. I&#8217;m tired of being sick and feeling so rotten all the time.</strong></font color></em></p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>That&#8217;s what I thought. So tell me what are you doing to help yourself begin the process of getting well? Have you tried anything beyond traditional medicine? Have you tried any alternative health tools?</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p><em><strong><font color="2f8c8c">&#8211; Well, I guess when you ask the question like that, I&#8217;m not doing much really. I take some prescription drugs that my doctor recommends and a few supplements. Most of them don&#8217;t do more than ease my symptoms a little. I&#8217;m unsure of what types of alternative services and products to look into? Frankly, I don&#8217;t know much about any of them.</p>
<p>You see&#8230; I feel terrible most of the time. My health is definitely not improving. I&#8217;m not the least bit well. I do the same ole&#8217; things over and over again and hope for different results. In truth, I am barely surviving.</font color></strong></em></p></blockquote>
<p><!--more--><br />
If these comments sound like you and your health, then why aren&#8217;t you considering <b><i>alternative health</i></b> ideas and methods of healing?</p>
<p>We discuss a lot of different ones here at the <strong>Health Matters Show</strong>, plus we provide you with timely and helpful information and lively interviews with professionals. Many of the special alternative health and healing tools that you will find and learn about here will give you additional resources for improving your health.</p>
<p>You must know that in your heart of hearts&#8230; you <em><strong>deserve</strong></em> to have your health turn around and you deserve to feel better, sooner rather than later! Don&#8217;t wait any longer.</p>
<p>Now&#8230; what do you say? Will you join us here?</p>
<p>Cinda Crawford, host of the <a href="http://www.healthmattersshow.com"><strong>Health Matters Show</strong></a>, an absolute treasure trove of information about how to heal Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and the alternative health information and health tools that can help you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today on the <b>Health Matters Show</b>, we will look at the topic of <b>working with your energy for health</b> and how doing so can affect your health status in a major way, if you have the right means to make &#8220;healing&#8221; happen. Mostly this information on energy is general and easy enough to understand. But there is bonus material here: an explanation of how to manipulate your energy matrix and impact your health in a positive way. Now, that&#8217;s valuable!</p>
<p><center><b><font size="3">What is this information?</font size></b></center><br />
<!-- AudioAcrobat.com Player code BEGIN --></p>
<div class="aaplayer"><iframe src="http://www.audioacrobat.com/playweb?audioid=Pbbf0c2eec0a039b90930dcce18d938f0ZVl7RnxuY2F1Ug&amp;buffer=5&amp;fc=0066CC&amp;pc=AAAAFF&amp;kc=888800&amp;bc=009999&amp;brand=1&amp;player=ap03" height="20" width="164" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe><br/><a rel="enclosure" href="http://www.audioacrobat.com/export/Pbbf0c2eec0a039b90930dcce18d938f0ZVl7RnxuY2F1Ug.mp3"><img src="http://www.audioacrobat.com/images/buttons/downloadmp3.gif" width="72" height="16" border="0" alt="MP3 File"/></a></div>
<p><!-- AudioAcrobat.com Player code END -->(Audio 12 min 15 seconds)<br />
<span id="more-16597"></span><br />
Case in point: today we&#8217;re looking at energy and how the teachings of the <b><i><a href="http://www.getwellhealth.com/learn">Learn How to Heal Yourself</a></i></b> membership course can help you begin to improve your health because it teaches you how to use your own energy to get well. If you haven&#8217;t heard much about the course, let me encourage you to investigate it now and join the program&#8230; that is, <b><i>if</i></b> and <b><i>when</i></b> you&#8217;re ready to heal from Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome or other chronic illnesses&#8230; because that is what you&#8217;ll most likely do. HEAL!</p>
<p>I could go on and on with how wonderful this coure is, but I&#8217;m not. Just check it out for yourself. Essentially, you&#8217;ll begin to see that there really is a way for you to turn your health around. Then, you&#8217;ll be headed back in the direction of being healthy and enjoying your life again. At the least today, you&#8217;ll likely learn some information about your own energy system that you didn&#8217;t now before.</p>
<p>Thanks so much for joining me. Know that &#8220;working with your energy for health&#8221; is a doable and worthy goal.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://healthmattershow.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/how_do_i_get_better.jpg"><img src="http://healthmattershow.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/how_do_i_get_better.jpg" alt="" title="how_do_i_get_better" width="111" height="168" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-5088" /></a>What does it take to make sure that you have good <strong>muscle</strong> and <strong>bone health </strong>when you&#8217;re already sick with an illness like <strong>Fibromyalgia (Fibro)</strong> or <strong>Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS)</strong>? That&#8217;s a tough question because you&#8217;re starting off sub-par and symptomatic from two of the least-respected and toughest illnesses around anywhere. Even some doctors will equate the pain levels of living with Fibro and CFS to the horrible pain of someone dying in the last stages of cancer!</p>
<p>I acknowledge your hurts and your aches. Sharp pains would just as soon shoot across your back as stay still. Your legs may just as well cramp and seize with charley horses as hang below your hips in submission. You may be suffering with the deep bone ache of Fibro &#038; CFS&#8230; almost as if you had a fullblown case of Lupus or Lyme Disesase. How horrible!</p>
<p><b>What you need are recommendations for:</b><br />
<span id="more-15280"></span></p>
<ul>
<li><b>Muscle, fascia and tendons</b></li>
<li><b>Joints and connective tissue</b></li>
<li><b>Bones and cartilage</b></li>
</ul>
<p>All of this week, please think about this topic and the others to follow. Jot down some notes on a sheet of paper. And then on Friday this week, I&#8217;ll ask you to post all of your ideas about everything. There&#8217;s an important reason for this.</p>
<p>Plus&#8230; you can expect much more on this topic on the Friday podcast, namely specific ideas and help functions to <em><strong>Get Physically Healthy Again</strong></em> and to feel better from Fibro and CFS.</p>
<p>Thanks so much,<br />
Cinda Crawford, host of the Health Matters Show</p>

<blockquote><p>Similar to creating &#038; maintaining a blog&#8230; every so often you mess up, have to clean out and re-do something that isn&#8217;t right and needs work. Such is the case today with the Health Matters Show. Thanks for your patience in waiting around some extra time for it to air. (It&#8217;s normally available on Friday 3:00 PM EDT.) Plus, I&#8217;m hoping that you enjoy the <strong>video</strong>. As a re-mastered, QuickTime project, hopefully it will load correctly to i-Tunes. <img src='http://healthmattershow.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p></blockquote>
<p>Now, back to our big &#8220;cleaning&#8221; task at hand. Today on the Health Matters Show, we&#8217;re talking about <em><strong>you</strong></em> cleaning up <em><strong>your</strong></em> health. Watch today&#8217;s video because it offers several ideas for cleaning up, cleaning out and finally&#8230; <strong>getting well</strong> from chronic health problems like Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.<br />

<blockquote><p>As you probably know by now, &#8220;getting well&#8221; can seem like an unreachable, lofty goal.  It doesn&#8217;t help when you&#8217;re already sodarned sick!</p>
<p><b><i><font color="2f8c8c">Being sick ain&#8217;t for sissies.</font color></i></b></p></blockquote>
<p>However, today I have good news. I&#8217;m pleased to tell you that &#8220;getting well&#8221; is more possible than ever for a lot of people. I&#8217;m hoping in my heart of hearts that you&#8217;re one of them. <img src='http://healthmattershow.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<blockquote><p>I am purposefully attracting the people to my new <strong>&#8220;<a href="http://www.getwellhealth.com/learn">Learn How to Heal Yourself</a>&#8220;</strong> course who really, <em>really</em>, <em><strong>REALLY WANT TO HEAL!</strong></em></p></blockquote>
<p>For today&#8230; well, I&#8217;m sitting here by my pond waiting for you. Let&#8217;s talk about this ever-important subject of &#8220;cleaning up your health&#8221; and getting well. I know that you&#8217;d like to feel better sooner rather than later from Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and the other health problems that have nagged at you for so long. Get your gloves on (wink, wink). We have a lot of work to do!</p>
<p>Thanks, Cinda Crawford<br />

By all means, take time to listen to the whole Health Matters Show today! </p>

Dr. Funicello and I discuss <b><i>muscle memory</b></i> in the body and how it relates to 1) a type of chiropractic care called <strong>Network Spinal Analysis </strong>and b) an exercise-type process called <strong>Trauma Releasing Exercises</strong>, which is done for the purpose of removing trauma. The following is paraphrased from our talk:</p>
<blockquote><p><i><b><font color="2f8c8c">&#8230;Trauma can show up after any physical, mental or emotional biochemical event. If we do not adapt well after the event is over, the body lodges the energy bound to the event as actual trauma. *Where trauma is concerned, we&#8217;re talking about the difference between safe and un-safe experiences. How our bodies react immediately and, very importantly, how they react long term is critical to whether we&#8217;re healthy or suffer with chronic illnesses.</i></b></font color="2f8c8c"></p></blockquote>
<p>Our discussion reached a defining moment when we began discussing our healthcare system. In its present form, our present medical environment is not good at helping us resolve the underlying reasons for our (personal) recurring health problems. All too often many of us spend our life savings looking for answers that are not within the realms of traditional medical care. They don&#8217;t exist.</p>
<p>That includes a lot of people suffering with Fibromyalgia and/or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. If you&#8217;re one of those people, you need the right answers now, you need answers you can afford and you need to find the people who can really help you make healing happen!</p>
<p>I enjoyed my extended interview with Dr. Mike Funicello, who is a wise medical practitioner and, I&#8217;m sure, a skilled and compassionate chiropractor. The websites and books that we discussed are listed below for your ease in locating them:</p>
<blockquote><p>Reach Dr. Mike Funicello at the <a href="http://www.infinitehealingarts.com"><strong>Infinite Healing Arts Center</strong></a> or to find out more about Network Spinal Analysis, either read the information on Dr. Funicello&#8217;s website&#8212;</p>
<p>Or find a professional in your area to work with at <a href="http://wiseworldseminars.com">this website</a>.</p>
<p>To find out more about the Trauma Releasing Exercises and the author/originator of this healing concept, Dr. David Berceli, check out <a href="http://traumaprevention.com"><strong>his website.</strong></a> </p>
<p>To get your own copy of <b><i>12 Stages of Healing</i></b> by Donald Epstein, DC, check it out here at this Amazon.com link. It will take you to a page where you can create an account or log in:<br />
<iframe src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=heamatsho-20&#038;o=1&#038;p=8&#038;l=as1&#038;asins=1878424084&#038;fc1=000000&#038;IS2=1&#038;lt1=_blank&#038;m=amazon&#038;lc1=0000FF&#038;bc1=000000&#038;bg1=FFFFFF&#038;f=ifr" style="width:120px;height:240px;" scrolling="no" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0"></iframe></p></blockquote>
<p>Dear Ones, I hope you act on these suggestions today while they&#8217;re on your mind. You can see from the price of this great book that you can begin to use the concepts for as little as $3.47 plus shipping. If you would like information about the alternative healing concept that I have to offer <a href="http://www.getwellhealth.com/sacred-cellular-healing/"><strong>and figure out how to get rid of the trauma </strong></a>causing your health problems, please check it out. Either way you start your healing process, you will be leaps and bounds ahead of standing still and doing nothing. Wellness&#8230; here you come!</p>
<p>Thanks so much for dropping by. Please comment below, Tweet this post or send to your buds on Facebook. Let&#8217;s spread the word that there are some health practitioners who do understand us and our illnesses, have compassion and are very skilled.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Learn how getting well from Fibromyalgia or other chronic illnesses can be like selling a house. Visit the Health Matters Show with Cinda Crawford.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://healthmattershow.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/home-for-sale-sign.jpg"><img src="http://healthmattershow.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/home-for-sale-sign-150x150.jpg" alt="" title="house for sale" width="150" height="150" class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-13748" /></a>Getting well from Fibromyalgia or any other long term illness can be a lot like preparing and <strong>selling a house</strong>. To put your house up for sale you have do whatever it takes to get it into great functional shape, looking good and performing really <em>well</em> again. Believe it or not, the same goes for you if you suffer with Fibromyalgia: you&#8217;ve got to do what it takes.</p>
<p>Can getting well from Fibromyalgia be that easy? Not really, but this simple hilosophy will head you in the right direction of anticipating and planning for the <em>healthy state</em> of your future body.</p>
<p>This week we&#8217;re focusing on the topic of how to get well from Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. On Friday, Dr. Mike J. Funicello will speak with us and share his philosophy and practical experience of what makes people like us (with Fibro and CFS) sick and what can help us get well. I encourage you to begin thinking about these things and be sure to tune in to the Friday 3 pm EST broadcast.<br />
<span id="more-13254"></span></p>
<blockquote><p><font size="2"><font color="2f8c8c"><b><i>If&#8230;</i></b></font size></font color><font color="2f8c8c"> you want to be happy and you want your body to be appealing and functionally working in top shape again, then doing <em><b>whatever it takes</b></em> to have it be balanced and functional are major key support structures in your healthy house foundation. Consider approaching the task from a broad viewpoint and incorporate every component of what makes you&#8211; <em>you</em>. <em><b>Strive for complete health in mind, body and spirit, not leaving out a single building block.</em></b></font color></p></blockquote>
<p>From a marketing perspective, do the things that &#8220;your particular house needs doing.&#8221; Make yours the best <em>body house</em> around, just like you would do to the house you live in if it needed plumbing, painting, or landscape work. From a <em>health</em> perspective, figure out where the holes are in your health and begin filling them in one by one. That may seem like a daunting task. Often we know where our weaknesses are, but we have no idea how to fix them. Other times we know what needs doing, but we don&#8217;t do it.</p>
<p><b>Helpful Hint:</b> Go back in your mind to the time <i>right before</i> your health failed. Think about what shape you were in&#8230; . What was going on in your life. Were you going through a tough time for some reason? Did a traumatic event suddenly happen to you or did you experience overwhelming daily stress over a period of time?</p>
<blockquote><p><i>Fact: You would not have gotten sick if you had not been suffering with some kind of health deficit. And, what&#8217;s more interesting, you wouldn&#8217;t continue to be ill to this day, if you did not continue to have some degree of dysfunction.</i></p></blockquote>
<p>Before then, begin by making a list as details come to mind. Jot down the facts about your life right before you got ill. Have a heart-to-heart talk with yourself and be extremely honest. No cheating just to make yourself feel better. One way of the other, acknowledge your history and your true feelings. You don&#8217;t ever have to show this list to anyone if you don&#8217;t want to.</p>
<p>Know that what you&#8217;re doing may stretch and challenge you; it really should if this introspective exercise is to be effective. That is the virtual definition of a <em>personal growth process</em>. When you feel like you&#8217;re finished, save this potential <em>repair list</em> for Friday, when you visit the Health Matters Show and listen to me interview Dr. Funicello.</p>
<blockquote><p>Resolve to do whatever it takes to learn more about this subject of getting well from Fibromyalgia.</p></blockquote>
<p>Until later,<br />
Cinda Crawford, host of the Health Matters Show</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Find out why sitting can be a significant health risk and what to do about it, if you suffer with Fibromyalgia or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://healthmattershow.com/sabotaging-your-health-adding-to-symptoms-of-fibromyalgia-or-cfs/womanheadinhandspapers/" rel="attachment wp-att-2243"><img src="http://healthmattershow.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/womanheadinhandspapers-300x199.jpg" alt="womanheadinhandspapers" title="Prolonged Sitting Endangers Health" width="300" height="199" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-2243" /></a><center>New research from London warns that <strong>prolonged sitting endangers</strong> your <strong>health</strong>.</p>
<p>Even if you exercise regularly, scientists are increasingly warning that sitting for prolonged periods could be bad for your long term health.</center></p>
<p>And the type of sitting you do does not seem to matter: at the office in your work chair, at school attending classes, in the car commuting to work or before a computer or the television trying to wind down after a stressful day. The overall <em>number of hours that you sit </em>during the day seems to be the problem and the risk factor here.</p>
<p>Most of us knew that sitting for long periods of time endangers and spreads the waistline and hips, but actually the act of sitting being an overall health risk? Yes, that&#8217;s news. Check out the following link&#8230; .<br />
<span id="more-12866"></span></p>
<blockquote><p><b><font color="2f8c8c">Several studies suggest that people who spend most of their days sitting are more likely to be fat, have a heart attack or even die. The following information was published in an editorial this week in the <a href="http://hhaattzzz.co.cc/tag/british-journal-of-sports-medicine/">British Journal of Sports Medicine by Elin Ekbook-Bak,</a> from the Swedish School of Sport and Health Sciences. &#8220;After four hours of sitting, the body starts to send harmful signals.&#8221; Apparently and unfortunately, the genes that regulate the amount of glucose and fat in the body start to shut down.&#8221;</b></font color></p></blockquote>
<p>So what does that mean to the millions of people with chronic health conditions, who, out of necessity, find that they’re sitting or lying somewhere many hours of the day? (If that&#8217;s you and you’re not capable of getting up, doing, exercising and the like, then you must recline in some fashion, right?!?)</p>
<p>With illnesses like <strong>Fibromyalgia</strong> and <strong>Chronic Fatigue Syndrome</strong>, the acts of getting up and doing often bring increased pain and fatigue. For Fibromyalgia, any type of activity can result in perpetuating and escalating the cycle of pain. Often activity can compound the degree of profound fatigue felt by Chronic Fatigue Syndrome patients. &#8220;Activity&#8221; may not feel like your friend at all. If you&#8217;re really sick with one of these illnesses, being active for the sake of activity is not necessarily a win-win situation.</p>
<p>So what should you do? I&#8217;m suggesting&#8230; you do the best that you can. Exercising is not recommended for some people, however others are capable of getting up and out of their chair or bed and doing gentle-paced to moderate walking or stretching. Many people can participate successfully in <strong>warm water pool </strong>therapy or Arthritis-designed classes without causing them undue pain. This amount of activity might keep you out of the high risk category discussed above and keep you from getting totally de-conditioned.</p>
<blockquote><p>I started with warm water pool therapy and improved gradually in physical ability and stamina through the years. Because exercising in a warm water pool does not put stress on the joints, it helps to support the body during exercise, plus the warm water feels soothing to the muscles and the whole body. This type of &#8220;activity&#8221; is still one of my very favorites. Why just this morning I worked out to sixties music and had a blast!</p></blockquote>
<p><a href="http://healthmattershow.com/prolonged-sitting-endangers-health/1574r-27177/" rel="attachment wp-att-12941"><img src="http://healthmattershow.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/womantwistinginthepool-237x300.jpg" alt="1574R-27177" title="1574R-27177" width="237" height="300" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-12941" /></a><br />
So here are two things to remember:</p>
<ul>
<li><b>Do as little sitting or lying down for hours at the time as possible.</b> (Remember, it&#8217;s the total number of hours of inactivity that are the problem, according to the British study.)</li>
<li><b><i>If you can move around without exacerbating your illness</i>, do it, but only do what you can <i>safely</i></b> do. (Hint: You&#8217;re <i>less likely</i> to hurt yourself in a warm water pool exercise class, but you must be careful and vigilant. Sometimes the increased pain and fatigue comes immediately; other times it can sneak up on you a day or two later!)</li>
</ul>
<p>Often at the beginning of a tough illness, you&#8217;re not able to move and be active. If you push beyond your limits, you won&#8217;t help yourself in the long run and your efforts will only succeed in putting you back into a horizontal position! </p>
<p>Be reasonble; listen to your doctor; consider getting advice from a physical therapist  or a medical specialist who knows about this issue. There is hardly anything more important to your long term health prospects than &#8220;not becoming&#8221; an invalid forever because your body became so de-conditioned it could barely function. Ask any person who has experienced this health problem and they will tell you the same thing.</p>
<p>I wish you a great and healthy day,<br />
Cinda Crawford, host of the Health Matters Show</p>

<p>Now don&#8217;t turn away. Hang in here with me. Yes, there are only a handful of people who say that it&#8217;s possible to get over, get well from, heal from&#8230; either illness, yet people are getting well. You may not have realized it, but healing is happening. </p>
<p>Make it your New Year&#8217;s Resolution: listen to the rest of this story, as Paul Harvey would say. It is &#8220;possible&#8221; to heal from Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.<br />

Other people have done it. Why not you? Yes, I asked&#8230; WHY NOT YOU? Really, why not you? Is there some scar you have emblazoned across your chest that says, &#8220;I will be sick forever!&#8221;?? Of course, not. So why incorporate that attitude into your thinking?</p>
<blockquote><p><i>Embrace change&#8230;an opportunity to learn and grow.</i> <b>James Arthur Ray</b></p></blockquote>
<p>Wise people repeatedly tell you that you can change your future by believing in what you want to happen. Dear One, believe it or not, right now you&#8217;re influencing what will happen to you in 2010 and beyond. Don&#8217;t stop here on this mere webpage. Don&#8217;t dismiss this idea because <i>other people</i> are negative and say it can&#8217;t happen. Instead, take your personal power in your hand. Stoke the fires of your personal enthusiasm. Start making plans to get well&#8211; today. Let this be your first step of many to come. <img src='http://healthmattershow.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>If you didn&#8217;t catch this week&#8217;s posts that highlight the work of James Arthur Ray, I encourage you to review the concepts of the <em><b><a href="http://healthmattershow.com/attracting-health-you-want-part-1/">peasant</a></b></em> and the <em><b><a href="http://healthmattershow.com/attracting-health-you-want-part-2/">warrior</a></b></em>. </p>
<p>Then your next step is to sign up to catch every podcast and post of the <strong>Health Matters Show </strong><i>automatically</i>. (Don&#8217;t depend on your memory to remember to come back here.) The facilities to do that are in the right-hand column. Feel free to sign up via the RSS feed or by email notification. (If you do it that way, be sure to clear your email filter to receive notices from &#8220;Get Well Health.&#8221; Don&#8217;t let them go to spam because your email filter locks them out as unfamiliar.) However you choose to read and listen is fine. Just be sure not to miss a thing; this is too important.</p>
<p><strong>Why? </strong>Because it&#8217;s vital that you stay tuned to the Health Matters Show. I provide all kinds of important information, products and services all the time.</p>
<p><b>Why?</b> Because within the next few weeks I will open up at least two membership sites for those people 1) who want to learn more about how the <b><font color="2f8c8c">Sacred Cellular Healing</font color></b> concepts work and 2) who want to feel better and make their own healing happen sooner rather than later!</p>
<p>My tentative plans are that one of the membership sites will be absolutely &#8220;free&#8221; and one will be paid. I will provide both groups of people with information about how to get well using Sacred Cellular Healing. That&#8217;s right. You guessed it&#8230;</p>
<p><center><b><font color="2f8c8c"><font size="4"><u>I WILL TEACH YOU HOW TO HEAL!<br />
AND ALMOST EVERYONE IS CAPABLE OF HEALING TO SOME DEGREE.<br />
15% 25% 50% 90%<br />
CAN YOU BE THE 1ST PERSON TO HEAL 100%?</u></font size></font color></b></center></p>
<p>All of this is so exciting! (I like to think of myself as being healed from Fibro and CFS at the 95% level.) That&#8217;s why you must plan to join in and sign up for one of these membership sites. They&#8217;re coming very soon in 2010. I will explain more as we get closer to the launch date. I can find nothing else like this opportunity anywhere else on the web or otherwise. This is truly a unique, life-changing opportunity.</p>
<p>So&#8230; as it stands right now, I plan to teach the concepts of Sacred Cellular Healing at the free level. However, I will provide personal access to me only at the paid membership level. There, you will hear me (audio), see me (video) teach the concepts directly. I will answer <em>all of your questions </em>about: how it works, why and the knowledge, attitudes and actions you must take to make healing happen. Also, for people who need a bit more help in getting well, I will offer special, discounted rates for individualized healing sessions. To qualify for that reduced hourly rate, you must maintain the status of being a paid member. </p>
<blockquote><p><i><b>Dear One, I have so many people who want this type of healing work that I have trouble keeping up with the demand. Everyone wants to feel better. So I&#8217;ve decided to do this within the framework of a membership site. It works well because 1) money is tight for many people, yet they want to feel better, 2) I want to help a lot of people and there are millions that are sick, and 3) this type of learning works best in a small group setting where you have time to take in the concept slowly and methodically. Hopefully, teaching within this membership framework will help me to keep up with demand and you to get the help you need at the same time. That&#8217;s a win/win situation!</b></i></p></blockquote>
<p>As I reveal my ideas, techniques and methods for healing, you have to know it is my sincere desire that many, many get well. I want <em><strong>you</strong></em> to resume your healthy, happy life!</p>
<p>Today, let me say a sincere &#8220;Thanks for joining the Health Matters Show today.&#8221; I&#8217;m your host and the creator of Sacred Cellular Healing&#8230; Cinda Crawford</p>

		<itunes:subtitle>Whether you&#039;ve been hiding in the closet fervently hoping that Fibromyalgia or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome would go away on its own -or- you&#039;ve been fighting with every last breath, speck of energy and last dime in your pocketbook,</itunes:subtitle>
		<itunes:summary>Whether you&#039;ve been hiding in the closet fervently hoping that Fibromyalgia or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome would go away on its own -or- you&#039;ve been fighting with every last breath, speck of energy and last dime in your pocketbook, it&#039;s still incredibly important not to lose hope because 2010 can be your year to return to better health.

Now don&#039;t turn away. Hang in here with me. Yes, there are only a handful of people who say that it&#039;s possible to get over, get well from, heal from... either illness, yet people are getting well. You may not have realized it, but healing is happening. 

Make it your New Year&#039;s Resolution: listen to the rest of this story, as Paul Harvey would say. It is &quot;possible&quot; to heal from Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.
IT REALLY IS.

 

(Audio 18 minutes 27 seconds. Listen here or download.)

Other people have done it. Why not you? Yes, I asked... WHY NOT YOU? Really, why not you? Is there some scar you have emblazoned across your chest that says, &quot;I will be sick forever!&quot;?? Of course, not. So why incorporate that attitude into your thinking?
Embrace change...an opportunity to learn and grow. James Arthur Ray
Wise people repeatedly tell you that you can change your future by believing in what you want to happen. Dear One, believe it or not, right now you&#039;re influencing what will happen to you in 2010 and beyond. Don&#039;t stop here on this mere webpage. Don&#039;t dismiss this idea because other people are negative and say it can&#039;t happen. Instead, take your personal power in your hand. Stoke the fires of your personal enthusiasm. Start making plans to get well-- today. Let this be your first step of many to come. :-)

If you didn&#039;t catch this week&#039;s posts that highlight the work of James Arthur Ray, I encourage you to review the concepts of the peasant and the warrior. 

Then your next step is to sign up to catch every podcast and post of the Health Matters Show automatically. (Don&#039;t depend on your memory to remember to come back here.) The facilities to do that are in the right-hand column. Feel free to sign up via the RSS feed or by email notification. (If you do it that way, be sure to clear your email filter to receive notices from &quot;Get Well Health.&quot; Don&#039;t let them go to spam because your email filter locks them out as unfamiliar.) However you choose to read and listen is fine. Just be sure not to miss a thing; this is too important.

Why? Because it&#039;s vital that you stay tuned to the Health Matters Show. I provide all kinds of important information, products and services all the time.

Why? Because within the next few weeks I will open up at least two membership sites for those people 1) who want to learn more about how the Sacred Cellular Healing concepts work and 2) who want to feel better and make their own healing happen sooner rather than later!

My tentative plans are that one of the membership sites will be absolutely &quot;free&quot; and one will be paid. I will provide both groups of people with information about how to get well using Sacred Cellular Healing. That&#039;s right. You guessed it...

I WILL TEACH YOU HOW TO HEAL!
AND ALMOST EVERYONE IS CAPABLE OF HEALING TO SOME DEGREE.
15% 25% 50% 90%
CAN YOU BE THE 1ST PERSON TO HEAL 100%?

All of this is so exciting! (I like to think of myself as being healed from Fibro and CFS at the 95% level.) That&#039;s why you must plan to join in and sign up for one of these membership sites. They&#039;re coming very soon in 2010. I will explain more as we get closer to the launch date. I can find nothing else like this opportunity anywhere else on the web or otherwise. This is truly a unique, life-changing opportunity.

So... as it stands right now, I plan to teach the concepts of Sacred Cellular Healing at the free level. However, I will provide personal access to me only at the paid membership level. There, you will hear me (audio), see me (video) teach the concepts directly. I will answer all of your questions about: how it works,</itunes:summary>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well, as many of you know, one can do just about anything and everything when you&#8217;re sick, if you really want to do it, and blogging is one activity that&#8217;s surely in that group. We talk and walk, we bathe and eat. Two of the things we like to do the most are communicating and acting like real people. (Even when we don&#8217;t feel like average, real people at all.)</p>
<p>I find myself this week unable the do much blogging and, frankly, it feels totally weird. Somehow, some way, I&#8217;ve hurt the soft tissue of my pinkie finger, right hand. It&#8217;s swollen, sore &#038; kinda&#8217; blue! (That&#8217;s a pretty strategic finger if you&#8217;re working on a keyboard. I&#8217;ve already corrected more mistakes in this little post than the number of letters. <img src='http://healthmattershow.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' />  The doctor says I have to keep it immobile and not to use it. Boo&#8230; hiss&#8230;)</p>
<p>So I won&#8217;t be blogging much this week about Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome or any other health issue. I do have a special video I found for you and I&#8217;ll offer it Friday on the Health Matters Show for your enjoyment Christmas Day. I did not do it, but it really is something grand. (Curious? I hope you plan to check it out.)</p>
<p>For this Christmas holiday I suggest that we keep each other in our prayers for safety, a roof over our heads, good food, improving health, fun and good times with our families and having a spiritual season to remember. </p>
<p>Thanks, Cinda Crawford<br />
Your host of the Health Matters Show</p>
<p>PS- I actually have a Fibro friend you had her car repossessed yesterday and she may lose her home at any time. Let&#8217;s always lift up each other in prayer, Christmas or not.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-946" href="http://healthmattershow.com/happy-new-year/cinda-standup-facing-left-to-right-sideview/"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-946" title="cinda-standup-facing-left-to-right-sideview" src="http://healthmattershow.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/cinda-standup-facing-left-to-right-sideview.jpg" alt="cinda-standup-facing-left-to-right-sideview" width="115" height="300" /></a>As I write this blog post today, I have to confess that I&#8217;m really stressed, yet trying hard to keep up every commitment and every goal for the approaching holidays and for my self-committed responsibilities to maintaining the <strong>Health Matters Show</strong>. Why you ask? Because life happens and we never want to &#8220;not do&#8221; what&#8217;s important to us or what we&#8217;ve already promised to do.</p>
<p>Case in point, take this week&#8217;s subjects: <strong>a)</strong> being <strong><em><a href="http://healthmattershow.com/sick-all-over-fibro-chronic-fatigue-syndrome/">sick all over</a></em></strong> with <strong>Fibromyalgia</strong> and <strong>Chronic Fatigue Syndrome</strong>, <strong>b)</strong> how and why the body gets so confused about how to heal and <strong>c) </strong>the <a href="http://healthmattershow.com/whole-body-healing-cfs-and-fms/"><strong><em>holistic healing </em></strong></a>and health answers for improving your health.</p>
<p>This week my husband hurt his back badly. We&#8217;ve been to the emergency room twice in four days. He&#8217;s on high-powered drugs&#8230; and he can&#8217;t drive safely. So I&#8217;m not only playing nursemaid, but chauffeur. My time and energy have not been my own. Thank goodness I&#8217;m well enough now to do that. Way back when I was so sick, that would not have been the case.<br />

<span id="more-11028"></span><br />
I started the Health Matters Show in the spring of 2008. For some time I had been training to learn the technology with high hopes of putting all of the knowledge and contacts I had created for 15+ years to good use. <strong><em>I really wanted to make a difference in the Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome communities.</em></strong></p>
<p>But since I&#8217;d been working so hard, day and night, for months on end and considering I was under an emotional strain from a particular family situation, I had not been paying really close attention to my own health. Working on clients? Yes. Working on family? Yes. Seeing to everyone else&#8217;s needs? Yes. Putting the show and the websites together? Yes. Even planning a two-week trip out west for more training? Yes.</p>
<p>Well, the day before I was to leave for the trip, I started getting <em><strong>sick.</strong></em> Within a day on the proverbial road, I was much worse. Thank goodness I took along my <strong><a href="http://www.youngliving.org/getwellhealth">Young Living essential oils</a></strong>, Thieves, Oregano and Lemon. It would have been nice to have had some others to help me, too, but at least I had those. The airlines overlooked the bottles in checking me out, but oh how mighty and important they were to me!</p>
<p>I probably smelled like an aromatic pharmacy in the meetings, airplanes and restaurants. I could have cared less. The point is that my body survived what probably would have otherwise been a severe case of broncitis or walking pneumonia. I had not been that sick since 2003, right before I healed from Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. I used my oils religiously, slept as much as I could, drank a lot of pure, clean water and practiced as many holistic healing regimens on myself as I had time for. The point is, I survived.</p>
<p>Now, even with what I&#8217;m doing for my husband, I&#8217;m still surviving and flourishing, too. Playing nursemaid when necessary, driving as needed. My husband and I make a good team because we each try to help the other one out when it&#8217;s needed. Right now he&#8217;s putting a roast in the crock pot with potatoes and carrots.</p>
<p>So, I ask you, dear one, are you prepared for both the good days and the bad ones to come, even the ones when you&#8217;re sick all over? Are you using tools like Young Living Essential Oils and their other products to bolster and support your Immune System? Do you have an understanding with your spouse and family members how important it is to pitch in and help each other out when needed?</p>
<p>If you answer, &#8220;No,&#8221; to any of these, you have some work to do. Now, I&#8217;ve got to run and take a quick peek at that roast. You have a good one and a very happy weekend,</p>

		<description><![CDATA[When you're sick all over with Fibromyalgia or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and feel totally confused, take a moment to visit the Health Matters Show.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you&#8217;re <strong>sick all over </strong>and suffering with <strong>Fibromyalgia </strong>(Fibro or FMS) and/or <strong>Chronic Fatigue Syndrome</strong> (CFS or ME/CFS), you&#8217;re not suffering in just one, easy-to-point-to, physical spot or location.</p>
<p><strong>A. </strong>In fact, your entire body is involved. You feel sick all over, you&#8217;re exhausted and you probably hurt in so many places that you can&#8217;t point to them all. How can that be?</p>
<blockquote><p><em>If I&#8217;m guessing right, you&#8217;re worrying that something major has gone haywire in your body and you may this sick&#8230; indefinitely!</em></p></blockquote>
<p><strong>B. </strong>And what is the absolute pits, you&#8217;re suffering with different types of multiple symptoms. They come and go at will, plus they show up at the most inconvenient times. Some of them are so odd that you can&#8217;t describe them well to your doctor, friends or family.</p>
<p><center><strong><em><font size="3">Your body acts confused.</font size></em></strong></center></p>
<p>Yes, everything about your health seems off-track. The most critical issue is how to successfully treat your symptoms and get you back to normal. Consider the following examples:<br />
<span id="more-10863"></span></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Unreliable/ Factoid:</strong> It&#8217;s not logical to think that a medical professional would treat your thyroid (if its dysfunctional) and magically every part of you (that is suffering with Fibromyalgia) will get well. Your thyroid may be dysfunctional, but thyroid dysfunction is not proven to be the cause of Fibromyalgia.</li>
<li><strong>Truth/ Fact:</strong> There is no evidence to conclude that an all-over-the-body illness like Fibromyalgia is caused by thyroid dysfunction or <em>any</em> one body system dysfunction. It&#8217;s more likely that Fibromyalgia stems from multi-causes and results in a multi-system health failure of sorts.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><strong>Unproven Generality:</strong> If you boost (improve) your immune system through better diet and consumption of vitamins and antioxidants, you&#8217;ll get well right away from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome -and- you won&#8217;t get sick again.</li>
<li><strong>Truth/ Fact</strong>: No amount of quality food and water consumption can guarantee such a statement. Certainly your body has the capacity to be healthier by eating a good diet. That is a major tenet of good health. However, no one can claim that you absolutely can heal any illness (except malnutrition) by improving your diet and taking supplements.</li>
</ul>
<blockquote><p><strong><em><font color="2f8c8c">Time and time again, history shows us that healing and remission of disease occur in people when their whole concept of what it takes to feel good and lead a healthy life expands galaxies beyond the old &#8220;I&#8217;m sick&#8221; mentality. &#8220;You must begin to believe in healing.&#8221; There are cases of spontaneous remission of cancer and chronic illnesses like Fibromyalgia or Chonic Fatigue Syndrome, but in every case that I know of, there is a purposeful intent of the person to be healthy again&#8211; mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually healthy.</font color></em></strong></p></blockquote>
<p><center><strong><em><font size="3">Healing happens on purpose.</font size></em></strong></center></p>
<p><strong>QUESTION:</strong> How &#8220;on purpose&#8221; are you going to live your life? More than the act of simply wishing and hoping is required, if you intend to get well. <strong>I dare you to make a resolution not to be <em>sick all over&#8211; any longer</em>.</strong></p>
<blockquote><p>(The word <em>resolve</em>: make a decision to act; make a forward change.)</p></blockquote>
<p>PS- If you return here tomorrow, we&#8217;ll discuss a list of &#8220;holistic&#8221; suggestions that are helping people like you heal&#8211; and more!</p>
<p>See you tomorrow,<br />
Cinda Crawford, host of the Health Matters Show</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Catch two answers, four tips and a video about getting healthy with Fibromyalgia on the Health Matters Show with Cinda Crawford.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What would it mean if someone told you that she was <strong>getting healthy with Fibromyalgia</strong>? Does it mean that she&#8217;s getting really, really well and no longer has symptoms? Or just that she&#8217;s found some ways to cut down on her symptoms and is feeling a tiny bit better?</p>
<p>Is this level of health even possible for someone suffering with Fibromyalgia? Surely the title phrase implies that getting healthy is an attainable goal. So I ask you, how does anyone feel good enough to say he or she has gotten over this confounded illness!??!</p>
<p>The reality is there are people who will tell you that they no longer have Fibromyalgia. Up until now, there weren&#8217;t that many of them or at least we didn&#8217;t hear about them. And the ones who did proclaim it usually found a level of healing through vitamins or supplements of some kind, which required a constant investment of money and time&#8211; possibly over a long period of time.</p>
<p>And the other people? The ones who improved, but you don&#8217;t know how they did it because they kind of faded away into the sunset&#8230; back into life and back into the workforce, never to be heard of again? How did they improve their health so much? How did they feel well enough to resume anything approaching a normal life?</p>
<p>Well, here are 2 answers, 4 tips, plus a video which might help:<br />
<span id="more-8268"></span><br />
<strong>a)</strong> Some people manage their life and symptoms well enough to survive by taking prescription drugs. Example: Lyrica, which is made by Pfizer, a major drug corporation and the source of the video below. (Take note of the 4 tips listed there.)</p>
<blockquote><p>Note: taking a drug as a &#8220;solution&#8221; is normally longterm at best and costly at worst, because Lyrica does not cure Fibromyalgia. It simply helps to alleviate the symptoms as long as you take the drug. As far as I know, it makes no claim to &#8220;cure&#8221; Fibromyalgia.</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>b)</strong> The rest of the people use alternative health methods to improve, feel better and return to normal living. (I&#8217;ll be bringing you more about this soon, but for now, you&#8217;re welcomed to watch a second, short video here. It explains how I got so much better because of <strong>Sacred Cellular Healing</strong>. (Today this video resides on the right side of the page, but I can&#8217;t guarantee you how long it will sit here. I change the website all the time! So, watch it today before you leave.)</p>
<p>No matter how you approach your health problem, the decisions and challenges are all yours: Vitamins &#038; supplements, prescription drugs or more natural, low cost means such as walking, warm water aerobics, stretching, yoga, meditation, essential oils, homeopathy, massage, acupuncture, chiropractic or a how-to-heal mechanism like <a href="http://getwellhealth.com/SCH.html"><strong>Sacred Cellular Healing</strong></a>. (It&#8217;s goal is a longterm health solution that is truly designed for you. I know because I had your healing in mind when I created it!)</p>
<p>So, here&#8217;s hoping that today you&#8217;re making good, longterm choices that are positively impacting your health. I like to say, &#8220;Why wait? There&#8217;s no time like the present.&#8221;</p>
<p>Thanks, Cinda Crawford<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-8892" href="http://healthmattershow.com/healing-fibromyalgia-in-silence/youngwomaneyesclosedincontemplation/"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-8892" title="youngwomaneyesclosedincontemplation" src="http://healthmattershow.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/youngwomaneyesclosedincontemplation-226x300.jpg" alt="youngwomaneyesclosedincontemplation" width="226" height="300" /></a>If you&#8217;ve ever heard of the old phrase, that something is too loud and <em>you can&#8217;t hear yourself think</em>, then you have the idea behind one of the values of solitude in the practice of <strong>mindfulness</strong>, and maybe even a bit about how <strong>meditating </strong>can help if you suffer with <strong>Fibromyalgia</strong>.</p>
<p>If something is too loud, your inner critic (that decides what&#8217;s best for you) may get overwhelmed and not be able to make itself known above the noise. Unless you&#8217;re sensitive to what is going on, you might ignore the warning signs and miss a valuable level of awareness.</p>

<div><span style="font-size: small;"><strong><strong></strong></strong></span></div>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><strong><strong></strong></strong></span></p>

<div><span style="font-size: small;"><strong><strong><strong></strong></strong></strong></span></div>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><strong><strong><strong></strong></strong></strong></span></p>
<blockquote><p><span style="font-size: small;"><strong><strong><strong><em><span style="color: #2f8c8c;">I&#8217;m convinced that most chronically ill people quit paying attention to themselves.</span></em></strong></strong></strong></span></p></blockquote>

<div><em><br />
By purposefully paying attention to a warning sign, you have a chance to do something about the situation and take measures to improve&#8230; (See A through D.)</em></div>
<p><span id="more-8711"></span><br />
<strong><span style="color: #008000;">A)</span></strong> what stimuli you allow into your environment,<br />
<em> </em></p>
<p><em></em></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #008000;">B)</span></strong> the people you interact with,</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #008000;">C)</span></strong> the amount of stress in your life, and</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #008000;">D)</span></strong> any other aspect of your environment that you have a chance of controlling.</p>
<p>And once you&#8217;ve done all that plus you&#8217;ve begun to practice mindfulness, as I already recommended that you do, I&#8217;m positive that your health will have started to improve. Yes, when you pay yourself forward with that kind of care and attention, you will realize powerful health benefits.</p>
<div><strong><em>Have you ever heard of anyone meditating to loud music?</em></strong></div>
<div><strong><em>I don&#8217;t think so.</em></strong></div>
<p><strong><em><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #2f8c8c;"><strong>When you still your mind, healing can happen.</strong></span></span></em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em></em> </strong></p>
<p><strong></strong></p>
<blockquote><p>This type of action shows itself to be true in an opposite fashion in people suffering with Fibromyalgia.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s possible that you become totally overwhelmed with pain and body discomfort. Your nerves feel <em>overloaded</em>. Through a central processing-type error, nerve centers cause a ramping up of exaggerated pain signals. This results in a system-wide escalation of pain that overwhelms the sufferer. In effect, you experience a pain cascade that is very difficult, if not impossible, to control even with narcotic pain medicine.</p>
<p>The type of control that you can gain through the practice of a mindfulness routine may help with a Fibromyalgia pain overload problem. You won&#8217;t know the benefits unless you try.</p></blockquote>
<p>I encourage you to keep noise and distraction levels down in your life. You&#8217;ll not only feel better, but you&#8217;ll give yourself a better chance at real healing. Check back here every day this week. There will be more information about the practice of <strong><em>mindfulness</em></strong> and <strong><em>healing Fibromyalgia</em></strong><em></em>.</p>
<p>Thanks,<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For most people, how to stay healthy or get healthy is a bit of a mystery. We all are curious about health issues. Certainly we know that vitamins (like Vitamin D), health supplements and <strong><a href="http://www.youngliving.org/getwellhealth">Young Living essential oils </a></strong>can help us feel better, plus maintain and/or improve our health.<br />
<blockquote>Suggestion: put the term &#8220;Vitamin D&#8221; in the search engine on this site and you&#8217;ll come up with several informative posts.</p></blockquote>
<p>But I bet right this moment you&#8217;re having serious doubts about any &#8220;cure&#8221; for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome or Fibromyalgia. No one has announced a full-fledged, unequivocable CURE for either condition!</p>
<p>And you&#8217;re right&#8230; so far.<br />
<span id="more-8680"></span><br />
But just in case there is more information or technology that you don&#8217;t know about, just in case there is now a different way to approach your body&#8217;s healing needs, I encourage you to check back here tomorrow at the Health Matters Show. You&#8217;ll find a special post and video during which I talk about a &#8220;cure&#8221; for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia. Curious? I hope so.</p>
<p>Thanks, Cinda Crawford<br />
