CELIAC Disease

Are you feeling well.....or maybe not? Celiac disease may be a problem......with many problems that come about because of the comsumption of gluten, found in wheat, barley, oats and rye, the lining of the intestines (villi) become damaged and nutrients are not as easily absorbed and a person can become malnurished even though he or she may be eating nutritional foods.....not realizing the damage. Some of the problems of celiac disease is an Autoimmune disorder, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, other symtoms may be lactose intolerance, thyroid problems, type 1 diabetes....just mentioning a few here. Treatment for celiac disease is a gluten free diet, because there is basically no cure, so changing one's diet will help rebuild the villi and absorbtion will be greatly improved, however, it may take several years to accomplish this. Many gluten free foods are available.....I recommend reading labels. Meat, fish, rice, fruits and vegetables are gluten free. Coconut flour, rice flour, and others are also available.

Helping to keep the kidney's flushed and detoxified is an ongoing task.....the kidney's remove impurities and filter the blood; filtering about 150 quarts of fluid daily. Drinking plenty of water....an average of about 6 to 8 glasses a day is very beneficial, also drinking cranberry juice is great because it is a excellent source of vitamin C which helps dissolve kidney stones. http://www.merrittouch.com

Benefits of coconut oil

Using coconut oil, health can be greatly improved by ingesting and using it topically....from cancer to digestion to high blood pressure to skin care. Lauric acid, capric acid and caprylic acid is present (just to name a few) in this sometimes misunderstood product because of all the fat content....however learning that Medium Chain Saturated Fatty Acids (Triglycerides) are assimilated well by our bodies, which makes up of about 40 % of this oil, along with Capric Acid, Caprylic acid, Myristic Acid and Palmitic properties of various percentages. Another exciting fact is that it is great for cooking....can be added to most foods either as flavoring or use as butter on bread, great mixed in with peanut butter, on toast, melted on popcorn, unlimited ideas for use.
By consuming coconut oil we can accually help repair and heal our bodies, especially the arteries reducing risks of heart deasese. Coconut oil is not easily oxidized and works in the body as an antioxidant helping to resist free-radicals.http://www.merrittouch.com/

Hemorrhoidal bleeding

Hemorrhoidal bleeding has ceased since using the essential oil blend called Digestzen since day one.
It can be applied topically on the tummy area or also taken one or two drops internally or both. It is a great digestion aid and thereby the elimination process is helped by not having to push as much.

Plantar Fasciitis - No more pain with Essential Oils

While visiting a friend (Josh) he was telling me about a couple health problems.

One particular problem was:

Plantar fasciitis which is a painful inflammatory process of the plantar fascia. It has been reported that plantar fasciitis occurs in two million Americans a year and 10% of the population over a lifetime.



The pain is usually felt on the underside of the heel and is often most intense with the first steps of the day. Another symptom is that the sufferer has difficulty bending the foot so that the toes are brought toward the shin (decreased dorsiflexion of the ankle).

A symptom commonly recognized among sufferers of plantar fasciitis is increased probability of knee pains, especially among runners. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plantar_fasciitis

His feet were really giving him problems and he couldn't find anything that would help with the pain. It so happened that I had my box of essential oils in the car.

My first thought was to use Deep Blue Essential Oil but as he shared with me a little more the pain he was experiencing I finally decided on Birch (which is like a Cortisone shot effect).

Within minutes of applying the Birch Essential Oil to his heel the pain started to subside and the difference was day and night.
