Natural Health Tip – Be Thankful ...
Really
A gratitude attitude is the best way to build good health….Really! Nothing
contributes to wellness as much as truly feeling thankful each and every day!
This is not psycho babble, mumbo jumbo. One of the most important scientific
crossroads in recent decades was Dr. Candice Pert's identification of neuropeptide
molecules that continually flow through our bloodstream. These molecules connect
the space between each cell and respond almost instantly to our feelings. This
means that every part of our body is connected. Our whole physiology experiences
and reacts to every emotion we have almost instantaneously. When we laugh we
flood our system with happiness and when we are sad our total being is weakened.
Laughter really is the best medicine!
When we are thankful we do everything better. Our minds are
clearer, our bodies stronger, our manner more convincing, personality more
attractive, intuition sharper, health better and life enhanced and extended.
But we have to really be thankful….a genuine attitude change.
So, I have asked you to send me stories about ways that your
life was saved that you are thankful for. My goal in this is simple. Let’s
share experiences in a way that helps each other be thankful!
Here is a really timely story from our friend and real estate
agent, Trey Morrison, who is a World Cup fan. I normally do not share names
but Trey has asked me to do this. He writes: “What a great day with FIFA
Word Cup. After reading your newsletter I thought I would share why this is
such a special time for me personally, or…
“How the World Cup Saved My Life”.
“About 12 years ago I found out that I was born with
a slight congenital heart defect. I had a leaky aortal valve. The doctors said
I might never need to do anything , or might need surgery someday. Just over
four years ago I had the surgery. It was tough to sign up for a procedure where
your heart is removed from your body. But it seemed that it was the best thing
to do. The rest of my heart was compensating for the leak. Two days after my
pregnant wife graduated from ASU, we drove to Duke Hospital. My surgery began
at 5:30 AM and was supposed to last 2-3 hours. It took 12. They had a hard
time stopping the bleeding after the surgery. They kept me alive by giving
me all the blood in the hospital until my surgeon finished his second surgery
at which time I went back in to surgery and the heart and lungs were stopped
again. I left the hospital in 4 days. About 2 weeks later I was laying in bed,
still purging the vast array of chemicals that had been introduced into my
system, couldn’t figure out my pulse. It seemed around 160. My wife confirmed
this and I ended back in the hospital ICU with a potentially life threatening
arrhythmia. I lay in bed for a couple of days being pumped full of God knows
what chemicals to try and get my heart back in rhythm. Nothing worked. I was
then told if nothing happened by morning they were going to try the defibulator,
that shocks the heart. Cruelly, they parked the machine outside my room so
I had to stare at it all night.
“Being a huge “football” fan I was watching
the World Cup games. This particular morning the USA was playing Poland and
needed a win to advance out of their group. Well in the first 5 minutes Poland
scored 2 goals!!!! I was outraged!!! This was the worst possible news!
“The good news was that this shock was what my body
needed. My heart reverted to a normal rhythm and has been fine ever since!!!
Plus as it turned out South Korea's 1-0 victory over Portugal in the other
Group D match rendered America's defeat irrelevant. Two years later I did my
first triathlon, last year I did my first Olympic triathlon and this year I’m
training for my first 100 mile bike race.
“This is the first World Cup since that time. My family
has grown. We have a beautiful 3 year old daughter. Our son will be born during
this World Cup! What could be finer.”
What a fun and vital inspiration to remind to give thanks
every day!
