Specialist Osteoporosis Treatment without the side effects is possible.   Usually I spend more of my time talking about joints than bones! But with all of us wanting to stay active and healthy for longer, this often ignored condition can no longer be dismissed. When is a broken bone not a broken bone? Bones are alive and continually changing – worn out bone being replaced by new.  In fact you get a completely new skeleton every 10 years! Bones have a thick outer shell and a honeycomb mesh inside – when the gaps in this internal mesh become bigger, making the bone fragile and brittle, this is osteoporosis.  Literally porous bones. Surprise! Osteoporosis is often called a silent disease as there are few obvious, external symptoms. Many people only realise they have it when they break a bone in a tiny fall and an X-ray reveals loss of bone density. However it can be painful and seriously affect your lifestyle – fear of breaking a bone means you don’t live the life you want to. Causes The biggest one is being female! While there are a few other disorders and medications that can contribute to bone loss (listed on our website) being a female over 50 is the biggest cause. Diagnosis The easiest and quickest way to diagnose osteoporosis is a bone density scan. This is a simple procedure, you don’t even need to remove your clothes, and will give you a bone density score which can be used to monitor your progress and reaction to treatment. Treatment Medication – there is a huge range of medication available so it is important that you work with your physician to choose the right one for you and this can be a long and involved process. Some medications have very serious and painful side effects so make sure to ask all the questions before starting treatment. Some also only prevent bone loss rather than creating new, healthy bone. Nutrition and Exercise – a diet rich in Vitamin D and Calcium is important in supporting bone health. And weight bearing exercise is also key. But balance is important – too much exercise on a too low calorie diet can be as damaging as too little exercise on a too high calorie diet. Or . . . . . . There is another option which has demonstrated results of a 4-30% increase in bone density within 6 months in over 20 years of clinical use throughout Europe. Magnetic Resonance Therapy (MRT) – a treatment based on the MRI scanner, it stimulates bone regrowth and regeneration and can be used in conjunction with other treatments.

My whole body swelling up with great sadness and uncertainty… and tears begin to fall.   I go into my bedroom and cry… trying to sleep… trying to escape this world. I breath, deeply… surrendering to everything I had ever dreamed. Lying there… empty, yet fearless… and I hear myself speaking the words… what is the worse that could ever happen to me? I die! and everything I had ever worked towards, would be gone. It was all ok… It really didn’t matter… AND I find myself on the other side, a new adventure of pure passion was just beginning.   While I was crying, in my Human panic I had contacted a couple of trusted friends to ask for help… but they both came back to me later, confirming a deep feeling and message I was receiving from my Divine Self.   I write my message to YOU, as it is applicable for all who are aware of their own transformation!   It seems you have been waiting for this time for so long… struggling in the Human Body and Mind AND keeping focused on your grand dream… the grand dream of your Divine and Human selves, coming together as never before on the Earth plane to experience a most sensational life of unity, love, joy and freedom.   You’ve spent time embracing and releasing everything that no longer serves the Master and Creator, distilling all the Human experience of joy and pain.

Complete surrender… trusting the last days of shredding the old are here, knowing you are not crazy and well on your way to experiencing your grand dream right here.   You know that everything you are going through, is helping yourself and the rest of humanity move into a new state of being… Allowing others to awaken, integrate and experience embodied ascension in an easy and graceful way.   You know this is all part of the reason you chose to incarnate now.

Summer can be a little difficult for ladies with hormone imbalance, but the secret is to keep cool at all times………..and carry on. Hot flushes and night sweats are difficult with the summer days ahead of us, but keeping cool in the evening is the key. Before bed, take a cool shower and apply lavender body lotion, or if that is not your taste; another body lotion with relaxing properties. If you wake in the night, go and take a cool shower, pat-dry yourself, put a few drops of lavender on your pillow and drink some water, got back to bed and you will sleep relaxed. This week our Blog is highlighting “the sun” and how to take care of ourselves in summer   Hot flushes are caused by excess estrogen in the body, it houses itself in different parts of the body, but if you are happy balanced then you will be able to control them. Using alternative hormone balance, such as Natural Progesterone Cream ProgesterAll, you will be advised exactly how and when to apply the cream to avoid hot flushes and night sweats, like most natural therapies this takes time and patience, but with a balanced diet, daily gentle exercises and some positive mind therapy, every woman can be balanced and free of the symptoms of perimenopause, postmenopause and pmt. Please feel free to contact me for a free consultation regarding symptoms and issues with hormone balance. Ali Farmer www.mividanatura.com

The midpoint of this year has arrived and it made me think of the popular question, “Is the glass half empty or half full?” What would your answer be? This simple question can give an indication of our worldview. Are we focusing on the lack (half empty) or the abundance (half full)? You might have a natural tendency to see it one way or another – or even refuse to play the game and say that there’s a certain amount of liquid in the glass, which is more like a “what is” observation. When it comes to abundance and prosperity in our lives, we can also choose what we focus on. Are you focusing on what you have and what you get to experience, or on what you don’t have and are not experiencing? We all have personal measurements for abundance and prosperity, as one person’s lack can be another’s abundance and vice versa. Now that we have reached the middle of the year, it’s a good time to check how full or empty our own cup is. Are you where you want to be in life? If not, you can brainstorm ideas to help you adjust your direction and feel supported on your onward path. Remember to also celebrate all those milestones you have achieved so far! Have a wonderful month! P.S. If you would like to attract more abundance and prosperity into your life doing work you love, I have a special GIFT for you! I’ve created a brand new 5-Day Abundance Activation Online Challenge to help you discover how you can unlock and unleash more abundance in your life.
