Hello Everyone
I believe that Alzheimers, like Pam said is a form of dementia and that of course in the past what is known today as Alzheimers, was dimentia.
Anything to do with the mind is related to the spleen, which is the seat of the mind and the element of air. For example when we use the mind too much we deplete the earth in our bodies, which the spleen governs. Air which represents the mind is also governed by metals. Within the last 50 years we have become dominated by metals through technology and metals polluting water and land. Too much metal in the mind/brain and we are affected adversely at the mind and memory level.We have also become more sedentary, staying indoors attached to our computers and technology in order to make a living. Less exercise, less wholesome eating, no fresh air and bad water.
The body is basically made up of 4 major elements, earth, air, fire, and water and the componenets within them. Each of these elements affect specific organs within the body, so it is imperative that we keep our bodies in balance through the kind of air we breathe, water we drink and foods we eat.
It is important to understand that 50 to 75 years ago, the land still had natural bacterias and so the vegetables that we ate or the grains that we prepared had a heck of alot more food value than today. We were also connected to the land more and our communities, since most of our food was from regional sources and we ate what the seasons provided.
In these times we have an enormous amount of choices with regard to food but I don't believe that the benefits outweight the negatives, in essence covering our soils with pesticides and destroying the natural bacterias in the land that provided strong produce, or polluting our air and water for the sake of ever increasing profits is destroying the health of nations.
Alzheimer's ladies is just an imbalance in the way we live, it isn't something that just shows up and is the enemy in old age. We have to come to a place where we are not divorced from our bodies.
Western medicine has taught us that disease is the enemy and it just shows up, like an enemy. Disease is a direct by-product of our thinking patterns, our emotional patterns and our way of being, how we process life and what we ingest, either through food or our thoughts. Our actions will delineate our destiny.
All in all, we do have power over our health and our future, if we educate ourselves with regard to balance, and work to free our minds from fear, as the energy of fear itself depletes the body's systems.
Power, ladies is in each individual's hands...it just depends on what we do with it, and within that power is the ability to understand ourselves and gain knowledge of ourselves....
We are not replicas of other people's misfortune, we are all unique and can create the lives we dream of, for that is the power of the creation force within us, when used with knowledge, wisdom and will.
We are in control of our destiny every single moment and nothing can be held from us...if we but listen the heart within and seek knowledge and knowing, rather than listening to the whim and banter of other's fears.
Most of what we read, see and hear is based on research reports, and views given to the media. A) who is paying for the research reports. Rember ladies most of our universities are funded by pharmaceutical interests and universities hold patents. To whose gain does this research benefit?
All in all, if you 'follow the money' you'll come across more truth than you can deal with sometimes...that's why it is so important to connect with who you are on the heart, mind, soul, spirit and body level. For the knowledge and truth within will lead you on a journey that will free your heart, mind, body, soul and spirit and the journey to that freedom will bring joy and a lightness of being as the layers of past beliefs and fears fall away day after day as you come home into yourself and a knowing that supercedes all fear.
Enjoy the day ladies, it's brighter than you can imagine.
With love
Leigha
