Have you ever had a day that you were so mentally down that you could hardly find your way to do the basic daily tasks that you should…..like wash your face, brush your teeth, shower, make your bed or even eat a single meal? I want to high light in this post the MSP Connection (Mental, Soul and Physical Connection) as I have coined it. There is a rising and alarming rate of children and adults being diagnosed with some type of mental disorder. What is happening that is causing this? What are some things we can do to help ourselves and our loved ones to decrease the risk of falling amongst the ranks of the millions of those that suffer daily? Please watch these brief videos that shed a lot on this subject. The first thing we can do is recognize those that may be showing signs of a problem.

I truly believe the WHY has a lot to do with us being in such a fast paced, technology filled and social media infected lifestyle. Seems to me people were happier before cell phones, Facebook, YouTube, Instagram and tiktok. Every time you turn around there’s someone that you find is posting their inner most secrets on social media or making it to look like their lives are flawless, which can tend to make the youth, especially, feel inadequate as if something is wrong with them for not having the same experiences.

This next video shares the impact of how mental issues are affecting our youth. Keep in mind that the signs that adults may demonstrate may not necessarily manifest the same in the youth. Take a look.

So how do we prevent from going down the downward spiral of anxiety, depression and other issues tied to poor mental health? Well anyone that knows me knows that I’m a firm believer in our culture protecting us. Some of us would call it a religion or belief in a higher being. I believe that the Heavenly Father has put in place all that we need, not just for physical matters but for our spiritual needs as well. The spirit stands between the physical body and our soul. Keeping ourselves well fed physically and spiritually is imperative in order that the soul is not destroyed.

• I have posted in the past the connection between the gut and brain, knowing that if we put healthy things in our mouths, our bodies will be better off. I don’t think anyone would argue with that.
• Getting the proper amount of sleep often will help us to have a better outlook on the day and give us the energy to tackle our problems
• We need each other! Anyone that has been isolated from loved ones, or those without friends and family, for whatever reason truly are affected by isolation. Don’t feel afraid to reach out. Yes, there is the risk of rejection in trying to meet and get to know people but the benefit of friendships and love far outweighs the risk. Also, those that have found strong connections, let others into your circle or family. Love is a healer.
• Busy yourself with feeding your soul with the nourishment that it needs. Strive to be the best you and focus on TODAY. We can’t change the past but can improve on the present and future by putting in the self work.
• GIVE and do it from the heart❤️! If it’s not real I suggest you keep it. Don’t get into the pattern of thinking that money is the only thing you can give, sometimes your time is the most valuable and heartfelt thing that will reach someone.
• Connect with nature and all that the Most High has made for us to see, feel, taste, touch, smell and be grateful for your senses and abilities. Being out in nature has been shown to positively impact health.
• Have a hobby. Something that you can develop possibly even into a talent. It could be as simple as reading, writing a poem, bird watching, listen to inspiring music, dance, coin or stamp collecting, etc.
• And last but not least, be able to forgive yourself and others. Don’t carry baggage because it will only load you down. Easier said than done but most definitely there’s something that most of us need to unpack and let go of, and the sooner the better.

I’d love to hear back from those of you who have other suggestions on keeping your spirits up. Feel free to comment back😀.

I hope this will set you on a journey to a cleaner bill of MSP Health and maybe even help you to help someone else, whether they be a loved one or stranger that you encounter. Let the humanity in you shine through! Be a blessing to all you meet. One love!

Thanks so much for visiting and let’s get healthy!!!🙏🏾

In my youth I have to admit, I didn’t give to much thought as to what I was eating or pay as much attention to mouth care. I received all of the teachings from my parents and dentist to brush my teeth at least morning and night as well as floss after eating, but sadly had no idea of the impact that poor dental hygiene could have on our health. It was good that I was told to do these things but it would have been much more motivating to see the effects of what not doing them resulted in.

Fast forward to today, I have about 5 amalgam fillings (dental fillings that include a high percentage of mercury) in my mouth and with the development of certain ailments over time, I continue to wonder if these fillings have anything to do with it. Please take a minute to listen to Brian Peddicord’s story in the video below. Although I don’t have a lot of his symptoms, I can’t help but wonder what else these amalgams cause and that many of us that received them did not give our consent knowing the risks. The first time I was ever asked for me and any of my children if I wanted amalgam or porcelain (another available option), I was about 40 years old and living in Israel. Should a dental cavity develop now in my mouth or my children’s of course I choose porcelain. It is more costly but well worth avoiding the health risks of amalgam. At any rate, I am of course trying to be healthier so that we avoid dental cavities along with the development of other disorders in the body.

The scary thing about this is, how many of us know someone that fits Brian’s story? How much of this could have been prevented and think of what his life would have been like, all of the pain that could have been avoided. Of course our stories and struggles if used for good help countless others. Thank you Brian for sharing your story.

See the below article for more info on safety information and those at high risk for mercury toxicity from amalgam fillings:

Getting the amalgam removed is not without risk either, however, there is an emergence of hope. Many natural dentists are beginning to come forth and have the training to decrease the risk of toxicity to the patient and the healthcare provider by a series of steps in the removal procedure and with special equipment. See the below videos by Dr. Berg regarding toxicity, ways to detox with natural products as well as his personal story and opinion. The video that follows is a doctor who has been trained in the removal of amalgam.

Bottom Line:

With amalgam, the concern is regarding the metals used and with resin there is concern over BPA. The American Dental Association has information regarding the safety and efficacy of both solutions, but can we trust it? We must be informed of our choices and the possible consequences of those choices. Many of us I’m sure were not aware back in the day of the impact that these fillings would have on our lives and health. I’m sure some of the dental professionals may not have either. Removal will have to be weighed with the size of the filling, the soundness of the filling (is it damaged or in relatively good shape) and the health of your gum tissue, bone structure and teeth. Speaking to your dentist and your general physician can help you to decide as well as if you are having symptoms of toxicity.

Did you know that our feet communicate a number of things to us? No, I’m not saying that they actually talk to us, however, they reveal signs of some things that we need to pay attention to that pertain to our health and well being.

Check out this short video by Dr. Gus “8 Things Your Feet Are Telling You About Your Health” (Diseases Revealed By Your Feet)

So to recap the 8 things we saw in the video, look for the following things:

REPOST since it’s that time of year.  As many of you know I turn to medication as a last resort.  Try this natural homemade cough syrup.  It is a great idea to make it ahead of time.
