Lyme Disease, the "Great Imitator"

Sat, 20 Apr 2024 14:10:37 GMT

I recently completed the Certified Lyme Specialist program through Trinity School of Natural Health, and it was very eye opening! Did you know that Lyme Disease is known as the "great imitator" because it mimics so many other diseases?

Symptoms of Lyme are often mistaken for chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, ADHD, mental health disorders, Parkinson's, multiple sclerosis, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and pretty much any auto-immune disorder.

Lyme can affect almost any part of the body even years after a tick bite, and on average people suffer for 5 years before being diagnosed. And ticks are not the only way the bacteria that cause Lyme are transmitted. Other insects as well as intra-uterine and sexual transmission may propagate the disease. To add to the confusion, a negative Lyme test doesn't mean you don't have Lyme; 56% of people with Lyme disease test negative using the approved testing system.

Symptoms of Lyme may include persistent swollen glands, sore throat, fever, chills, sore soles of the feet, joint pain and swelling, numbness in arms and legs, unexplained back pain, muscle pain (especially in the neck and shoulders), muscle cramps in calves or feet, Bell's palsy, confusion, brain fog, headaches, mood swings, depression, disorientation, memory loss, anxiety and panic attacks, light and sound sensitivity, paranoia, vertigo, TMJ, fatigue, Multiple Chemical Sensitivity Syndrome, and POTS (postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome).

If you are struggling with any of these symptoms and can't find answers or don't know where to turn, I may be able to help. Contact me for a BioScan to begin your healing journey. Click here to learn more.

Money Blocks SEFI Group

Fri, 01 Dec 2023 11:17:57 GMT

Are you ready to shift your ability to attract abundance?

Does making money seem to be difficult and/or exhausting? Does just thinking about money cause you stress and anxiety? Did you know that your subconscious beliefs around money, which are formed from past experiences, are largely responsible for how much or how little money you have? That's because your beliefs influence the frequency that you send out to the Universe. The Universe responds to your frequency, and only your frequency. If you are putting out a frequency of lack or not enough, then that is what you will get back.

The good news is that you can change that by releasing your old beliefs around money. If you would like to see what addressing your beliefs around money can do for you, then join us for this Money Blocks SEFI Group. (SEFI stands for Subtle Energy Frequency Imprinter, which is part of the AO Scan, and where the frequencies will be broadcast from). Dr. Tonya Nichols, Certified Therapeutic Coach, will be running the group and helping you to discover and release the blocks you have around money and abundance.

What you get:
1. Three weeks of frequencies tailored to support your growth and expansion into a more abundant money mindset and vibration. This will be broadcasted from Dr. Tonya's AO Scan for 2 hours a day.

2. Daily affirmations and exercises to help you discover and release the subconscious beliefs that you have around money and abundance.

3. Support from Dr. Tonya within the group to help you with questions or concerns throughout the 3 weeks.

The cost is $88 per person. The frequencies will be broadcast from 6pm to 8pm EST.

The group begins on January 1st and will be run virtually with a daily playlist of frequencies, daily affirmations, and daily clearing exercises communicated through Facebook Messenger. When you join the group, you will be added to the Messenger group.

You do not have to be available to "attend" the 2-hour sessions. We will send a message through Messenger that the session has begun and another message when it ends. You can go about your daily business. If you are available during the sessions, that is a great time to work with the daily affirmations and exercises that will be given. Otherwise, you can do the exercises at a time that is convenient for you.

Payment may be made by Venmo to https://venmo.com/code?user_id=3712965387748582098...

Or Paypal at paypal.me/thcoflakeview

After payment is made, please email Dr. Tonya at drtonyajnichols@gmail.com to let us know you have paid and we will add you to the Messenger group.

New Services Offered at The Healing Center

Mon, 09 Oct 2023 17:05:50 GMT

By Dr. Tonya Nichols, PharmD, CEMP, CTC

At The Healing Center, we are continually working to improve and expand the holistic services we offer. That's why I'm excited to announce we have recently added Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) Therapy and Trauma-Informed Therapeutic Coaching.

In the spirit of Mind Body Spirit health, we offer many modalities at The Healing Center to address not only physical health, but emotional and spiritual health as well because they are all connected. I have been doing Emotional Clearing with my clients for over 6 years now, and I am always amazed at the wonderful changes I get to witness in my clients as they let go of old emotional trauma. I get to watch people who have been shut down, stuck, and feeling lost and hopeless open up and really begin to shine their light and move toward the life they really want. Many also experience lessening of their physical issues as they begin to heal emotionally. But I have been looking for a more efficient method of clearing out stuck emotions and beliefs as I was beginning to feel a bit drained by the method I was using. I stumbled across the Clear Beliefs Method of Trauma-Informed Therapeutic Coaching last fall, and I intuitively knew that this was what I had been searching for. I enrolled, and after over 7 months of intense classwork and practice coaching sessions, I completed my certification in June. Since then I have been using this new healing modality with my clients with great success! It is amazing the changes that occur even in just one coaching session. My clients who have experienced my old method of emotional clearing really love the Clear Beliefs Method of coaching, and so do I!

We have also added Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) Therapy, which is a safe, non-invasive therapy that consists of lying on a PEMF mat (fully-clothed) for 20 to 30 minutes. During that time, the PEMF mat emits earth-based frequencies that works at the cellular level and promotes micro-circulation and cell metabolism. This stimulates the regeneration processes of the body and eases pain and inflammation. In this way, it stimulates the body to heal itself. PEMF therapy can be used by people of all ages. It is most beneficial for the elderly or anyone suffering from chronic illness and/or has a diminished immune system. Regular use of PEMF therapy will increase your strength and stamina.

Dr. Tonya Nichols is an Integrative Pharmacy Specialist, Certified Energy Medicine Practitioner, Reiki Master, and Certified Trauma-Informed Therapeutic Coach. She is also certified in Past Life Regression and Spiritual Hypnosis. She has studied holistic nutrition, herbs and supplements, homeopathy, essential oils, and flower essences. She specializes in Therapeutic Coaching , Full Spectrum Healing , Past Life Regression , and BioScans .

Change is in the Air

Sat, 24 Jun 2023 17:30:21 GMT

I'm going to visit family in Indiana tomorrow. I get a whole week of R&R just hanging with them. I go for a week every year, and I can't wait. And at the same time, this year I'm noticing my excitement isn't because I'm burned out and seriously in need of the rest. Because for the first time in a long time I feel like I have my energy back. I get up in the morning excited to see what the day will bring. I can't wait to work with my clients, and I don't mind taking care of all of the details of running our business.

So what has changed?

1. I quit my day job. I haven't been at the pharmacy for almost 6 months. I was scared to death to do it, but I did it. And I can't begin to describe how good it feels to be able to put 100% of myself into our business. I wouldn't have been able to do it without a lot of work on all of my limiting beliefs that popped up after I quit. Thank goodness I was in the middle of my therapeutic coaching course when I did it. That seriously helped me work through my shit. (I am currently awaiting my final certification and will soon be offering this service).

2. I finally got my hormones balanced with the help of my AO Scan, some supplements and homeopathic remedies. thcoflakeview.com/bioscan

3. I have been faithfully using my LifeWave patches for about 3 months. thcoflakeview.com/lifewave-patches

That's what changed for me. I addressed my whole self - mind, body, and spirit. That's what I do every day with my clients. It makes my heart happy to see their progress and know I'm making a difference.

Making Space for You

Fri, 24 Feb 2023 15:27:56 GMT

The alarm goes off at 6am, you jump out of bed and begin to navigate your busy day. My first thoughts are what do I have to get done before I walk out the door? How much can I cram into the 2 hours I give myself before I have to leave my house and go to work. At least those used to be my first thoughts until I realized that I was stressing myself out, and that stress was the cause of most of my health issues. Did you know that 79% to 90% of doctor visits are stress-related? Stress contributes to digestive issues, elevated blood pressure, difficulty sleeping, anxiety, impaired immunity, depression, weight loss (not the kind you want), and much more. In fact, stress is considered a silent killer for those who don't listen to what their body is trying to tell them.

How many times do you say to yourself, I just have to get through today, or I just have to make it to the weekend, only to start the vicious cycle over again. Unless you intentionally make some changes to your life, it is never going to get better. And the changes don't have to be huge. Start with baby steps. Get up 15 minutes early to meditate or do yoga or sit outside and watch the sun rise. Take a hot bath on your day off. Read a chapter in that book you have on your nightstand before bed. Go outside (I know it's cold) and breathe in the fresh air for just a few minutes and feel the calmness all around you. Make some space for you. Allow yourself to relax into your body and feel whatever it is you need to feel. I think we have forgotten how important it is to just feel. We live in our heads and forget that we have a body that needs our attention.

I'm not an expert at this, but I am working on it. And that's ok. I still get caught up in the chaos of running a business and seeing clients and helping everyone else with their stuff that I forget about mine. But I try not to ignore my own well-being for so long that my body has to scream for me to hear. I am much better at feeling when I need to take a break, and I am also much better at doing small things throughout the day to take care of myself. I do get up early in the morning and do yoga. I make sure to take time to eat lunch before I am starving and cranky. I dedicate time to doing things that I love, like taking classes and researching health stuff for my clients. (I know, pretty nerdy, but I love it). And most importantly, I try not to worry about the stuff I have to do tomorrow or the things I have no control over, and I try to give 100% of my attention to right now. Sometimes right now is uncomfortable and icky, but right now is the only thing we can ever do anything about.

So how can you make some space for yourself today? Give it some thought because it's really important. You are really important. Take time to take care of your whole self, not just that never-ending list you made that only a super-human could accomplish. I speak from experience, my friends. I am a recovering perfectionist and overachiever. I have been where you are right now. But I decided to make some changes. It didn't happen all at once. In fact, it has taken years for me to get where I am today. But I won't go back to that life where I didn't matter, where my feelings didn't matter. Change is hard, but it's totally worth it, and so are you.

Homeopathics for Cold & Flu

lemaster@digitalproductsuite.com — Wed, 01 Nov 2017 00:00:00 GMT

Homeopathics can be very effective for cold and flu symptoms; the trick is finding the right remedy for the right situation.

Fear no Fruit

By Bob Huttinga – Unfortunately I have had to say this before. I have been promoting information that I now believe to be inaccurate. Many times I have told people, especially folks who desired to eliminate some weight or people who were diabetic, to avoid fruit.

It appears that his information is simply not true. The concept of eliminating fruit from the diet comes from the popular advice to eat a lower carbohydrate diet. I still believe that low carb diets are beneficial especially when referring to foods made from grains, refined sugars and high fructose corn syrup.

Pure raw fruit, especially when grown organically, is one of the best foods on the planet. Fructose is the main sugar in fruit. Our body does not make an enzyme to digest fructose, so I was taught that it was hard to digest fructose. This is true when the fructose has been extracted from the plant and made into products like high fructose corn syrup and Agave Nectar (high fructose extracted from the starchy roots of yucca plants). But when the fructose enters the body in the form of a raw fruit, it can be quickly absorbed in the mouth and first part of the small intestine, and the enzymes to help digest it are actually found in the fruit itself (cooking and canning fruit destroys these enzymes). Processed sugars can feed cancers, but fruits actually help prevent and heal cancers because they contain large amounts of antioxidants that neutralize oxidation. Oxidation promotes aging and mutations of the DNA in our cells.

The big problem with fruit, especially in diabetes, comes about when it is eaten with any of the grains in the grass family. These grains like wheat, rice, corn, oats, and more, contain gluten, gliadin, and agglutinin. They all interfere with our body’s ability to use insulin correctly. When we eat something sweet, insulin is released from the pancreas. Every cell in the body is covered with insulin receptors. These receptors act like a lock, and insulin (the key) fits into the lock and turns on the sugar pumps that carry sugars into the cells for energy. The unfortunate thing is that gluten and it’s buddies look so much like insulin that they can fit into the receptor sites, keeping the insulin out. When this occurs, sugar cannot be transported into the cells and blood sugar increases. To reduce the excess sugar, the liver converts some of it into triglycerides, which are then converted into fat. This is the main reason obesity is at an all-time high.

The grains in the grass family include the following: Barley, Bulgur wheat, Corn, Durum wheat, Farina, Fonio, Graham flour, Kamut, Millet, Oats, Popcorn, Pumpernickel, Rice, Rye, Semolina, Sorghum, Spelt, Teff, Triticale, Wheat, and Wild rice. These grains and foods made from them should be avoided because they are at the root of type 2 diabetes. The following “grains” and flour products are not in the grass family and therefore can be eaten: Amaranth, Arrowroot, Buckwheat, Chia, Flaxseed, Quinoa, Potato flour, Sweet potato flour, coconut flour, nuts, and some Ezekiel products (not Ezekiel bread, it is made from sprouts but has gluten added).

So you can see fruit is not the problem. When we fix the issues with the insulin receptors, fruit becomes one of the best foods we can eat. This information comes from Anthony William, author of Medical Medium. This book and its companion cookbook are very helpful to learn to make great tasting healthy foods. The books are now available at The Healing Center in Lakeview. I am not saying everyone needs to be a vegetarian, but increasing fruits and veggies in the daily diet is a must to create and maintain sound health as we move into a food future that is becoming more and more filled with processed foods and additives that are ruining our body’s ability to give us perfect health.
