Be The Healer in Your Home

Posted by Joette Calabrese on March 9, 2012

As parents, our great responsibility is to nourish and protect our children. We must defend them like mother lionesses. Let me point out that “mother” is a term I use for anyone who has loving charge over another. The same holds true for the “mothers” of friends or pets. Here are my strategies to become the healer in your home:

1. Always protect your thinking. When you’re told that the only way to address an ear infection or fever is with an antibiotic, learn enough homeopathy not only to prove otherwise to yourself, but to offer the same success to others.

2. Create distance between your chosen method of mothering and those who criticize your choice. This doesn’t mean that you purge family and friends. Instead, saturate yourself with enough homeopathic mastery to protect your family from negative influences.

3. Learn basic homeopathy strategies and stay connected with others who do the same. That may mean joining a homeopathy study group or starting your own. (See the free bi-monthly Ezine and blog www.homeopathyworks.net.) Once you’ve mastered some of the basics, don’t stop there. Homeopathy has an undeniable compendium of medical literature from around the world from which millions of mothers have drawn their skills.

4. Use the naysayer as motivation. Remember…the best retribution is a life well lived. Go out and cure a dog of an ear infection, treat a neighbor who was just stung by a bee, help your spouse get over that insomnia and anxiety. Arm yourself with just enough homeopathy to get the ball rolling in your life so that others can’t help but eventually recognize your skill.

5. Employ pig-headed willpower. Commit to staying on track. Being a “good little patient” will not serve you or your family. Keep yourself stimulated with knowledge and information. Utilize learning techniques by using your time cleverly. Download classes and study via CDs. They’re a first-rate way to exploit otherwise wasted time in your busy day. Constant learning and reaffirming will hold you to your convictions.

As you become a grandparent or great grandparent, my hope for you is that you will be able to look back at your life with a satisfying inner smile that speaks of what was set right by your hands. Hold your head high and declare: I raised my family. I healed my family. I cured friends and neighbors because I used my God-given intelligence and committed time to a life worth living. Then, when you see an ad for Pepsi Cola or a billboard for another flu vaccine, you can smile knowing that your power was in your resolute knowledge.

If you yearn to learn, contact Joette Calabrese at HomeopathyWorks.net for a free, 15 minute SKYPE or phone session and find out if homeopathy is a good fit for you and your family’s lifestyle strategy.

The scale of the human tragedy of abortion in New York City demands action.  But what can we do?  In such a large city the task can seem daunting, but we must do what we can.

Liberation Wellness Comes to Lehigh Valley

Posted by Kevin Brown on September 16, 2010

Liberation Wellness Dynamic Duo Make First Official Appearance Together!

On Thursday, 10/28/10, Kevin Brown and Maureen Diaz, will speak about “Liberation Wellness” at the United Steelworkers Hall, 53 East Lehigh Street (just north of the New Street/Fahy Bridge), Bethlehem. Doors open at 6:30pm. The presentation begins at 7. Free admission (donations welcome).
Kevin will talk about his groundbreaking nutrition plan that has proven to help many people become truly healthy and maintain normal weight. Maureen will walk us through implementing Liberation Wellness/Weston A. Price principles in our daily lives, providing “many helpful tips, solutions, and ideas about how to transform your life into one of vibrant health.”
More about the event

Local producers may bring grass-fed, organic, and/or biodynamic products for sampling or sale. Attendees can check out the produce tables before and after the presentation (bring your coolers!). Books & videos will also be available. Ample on-site parking: the parking lot is accessible from Center St (at the equivalent of 315 Center St if you’re googling). Sponsored by the Lehigh Valley Chapter of The Weston A Price Foundation, a nonprofit organization.
About Liberation Wellness
(from the Liberation Wellness website: www.liberationwellness.com )
When did our nutritional values start falling apart?  Early to mid 1900’s, the message that butter, eggs, beef, coconut oil and other sources of saturated fats changed from good to bad.  Manufacturers found a way (laboratory experiments) to imitate the taste of foods and extend their shelf life (chemicals and preservatives). Then they sweetened our meals for us, literally, with added sugar, alternative low calorie sweeteners and fortified our foods with synthetic vitamins, minerals and fiber.  How can we make healthier food in a lab than a backyard garden?
We transitioned from butter, lard, and coconut oil to hydrogenated to partially hydrogenated vegetable oils.  Saturated with lies, marketers had us believing that this was heart-healthy and would be the solution to the rise in obesity and incidences of cardiovascular disease.  Natural, saturated fats were the culprits and the answer was in fake butters and oils. We bought into the low-fat craze. Manufacturers are quick to point out (market) benefits of eating whole foods while providing products that didn’t come close to whole.
And yet, America’s health hasn’t gotten any better. The foods our ancestors ate were no longer good for us, and for the first time EVER, we’re finding out that today’s children may not live as long as their parents.
Over time, true nutrition ideology got lost in translation.  We intellectually talked ourselves out of the game, believing we can eat ANYTHING we THINK is good for us.
People are made to believe that…
  • vitamins in a bowl of cereal are just as nutritious as eating organic fruits.
  • cooking with vegetable oils is better than grass-fed butter and organic virgin coconut oil.
  • it’s safe to consume aspartame, high fructose corn syrup and other alternative sweeteners and our bodies can naturally process these “just as real” ingredients.
  • commercially raised beef (full of hormones, fed an unnatural diet) is perfectly acceptable to eat.
We at Liberation Wellness want to empower people to have excellent health and normal weight by:
  • Teaching about REAL food (know which foods and ingredients matter and why numbers on labels don’t mean much)
  • Exposing partial truths and lies (truth about marketing hype and manufacturer claims
  • Changing the way people think about food (such as knowing when to say when and when to say MORE to eating)

About The Weston A. Price Foundation

The Weston A. Price Foundation is a nonprofit, tax-exempt charity founded in 1999 to disseminate the research of nutrition pioneer Weston A. Price, DDS, whose studies of isolated nonindustrialized peoples established the parameters of human health and determined the optimum characteristics of human diets. Dr. Price’s research demonstrated that men and women achieve optimal physical form and health, generation after generation, when they consume nutrient-dense whole foods and the vital fat-soluble activators found exclusively in animal fats, whereas they have numerous physical form and health problems when they switch from their traditional diets to the displacing foods of Western commerce, such as foods made with white sugar and white flour, canned goods, and commercially-processed foods.
The Foundation is dedicated to restoring nutrient-dense foods to the American diet through education, research and activism and supports a number of movements that contribute to this objective, including accurate nutrition instruction, organic and biodynamic farming, pasture-feeding of livestock, community supported farms, honest and informative labeling, prepared parenting and nurturing therapies. Specific goals include establishment of universal access to clean, certified raw milk and a ban on the use of soy-based infant formula.

Weston Price THUMBS UP on New Liberation Diet Cooking DVD

Posted by Kevin Brown on August 10, 2010

Liberation Wellness DVD

with Nutritionist and Chapter Leader Maureen Diaz.

Using the Principles of the Liberation Diet, learn how to Eat Like a Queen, and Look Like a Princess!

Full of delicious, rich, home-cooked meals congruent with the Liberation Diet, the healthy eating program that helps you maintain great health and normal weight!

This DVD features Maureen Diaz, Nutritionist and mother of 9 who lives on a farm in the heart of rural Pennsylvania, and Chef Rachel Marie, the head chef with Liberation Wellness.

Here’s the Review…

This video makes a very good companion to the Liberation Diet book which was reviewed in these pages in September 2009 and given a thumbs up.

Having read the book and learned the value of good fats and the dangers of too many starches, many people are often flummoxed as to how to put together a meal that incorporates these principles. And these are the people who already know how to cook whole foods from scratch! Add to them the legions who have never done more than microwave or order take out and you have an enormous audience who will benefit from this video.

In a clear and easy going manner Maureen Diaz shows us how to prepare complete, satisfying meals without undue demand on our time or budgets. One of my favorites is the broccoli fritatta. An entire meal in one bowl, taking minutes to assemble, it is offered as a breakfast option, but could well be served for lunch or dinner. After eating a portion of this I feel confidant that the dubious will realize that they do not need to load up on bread or potatoes to be satisfied.

This is not to say the video demonizes carbohydrates. In fact there is a demonstration for properly preparing porridge. Maureen merely show us how to dine beautifully with somewhat fewer starches and how to replace those calories with more nutrient dense ones from good quality fat.

Most of the basic WAP principle foods, such as bone broths, cultured dairy are included. Organ meats are hidden in a meat loaf. It is all there, without a lot of fuss or bother.

There were a few mentions of other recipes, such as one for homemade ketsup, that had clearly not made the final cut. This was only slightly disconcerting; a minor editing flaw that could be easily avoided in future episodes, which I hope will be forthcoming. Because once this one has been fully digested, I am sure the viewer will want more.
