Saturdays Conference call (15th August) had none other than the most excellent Dr Allison Ashley on as our special guest. She was extremely pleasant and deeply informative :-). In this community we talk about doing, 'the sum of the parts.' Which is looking after body, mind and spirit. And im very glad to say Dr Ashley has exactly this same ethos. She talked about Loving ourselves and listening to our own bodies and minds and spirits. She talked about being informed, educating self about what we need for Healing and Health. She talked about hobby's and doing things we enjoy regulating the nervous system, like Mel's trains:-). After all, being creative releases dopamine and oxytocin. Its very important to tell our nervous system that it is safe, especially when we are unwell. Mel whistles a lot, that stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system to relax too. To be fair, Mel is always singing a song or two, his nervous system must be a happy camper:-). Dr Ashley said there is a time when pharmaceuticals are needed, but take only if needed. We have to learn to rebuild our immunity, look at our microbiomes. Everybody's additional needs are different some need to look at mitochondrial function, others obesity, others heart disease, others cell membranes and what needs to be restored. Some in our community need mold testing (HLA haplotyping blood test) to see if they can detox mycotoxins naturally or need help to do so. As Mel says too,"Be thine own Physician." Dr Ashley talked about, 'iatrogenic illness,' which is medical errors, failed diagnosis, unnecessary procedures, drug interactions. She is not arguing against medicine, she's asking us to advocate for our own Health when dealing with the medical system. BE INFORMED. Get second opinions, listen to your body, make your own informed choices! Its especially important when you are unwell to make sure to the best of your ability that you are on the right tract for your body and mind. Be astute, ask questions, get the right information to make informed choices. Take in natural healthy food and water as much as possible. Watch your food quality. Be an informed consumer, know what you are eating and drinking. Don't follow the hype. Dr Ashley also answered many questions about community members Health and was very helpful and thorough in her knowledge! And as Mel says, "knowledge is Power." Listen in to hear the whole call as Dr Ashley may just point you in the right direction for something you need answers too! Thanks to Mel and to Dr Ashley for a very enjoyable, insightful call.
