Happy Holidays!
Do you like December? It might just be my least favorite month of the year – brrr! So I have to do extra things to keep my spirits high and my energy up while the days are so short and cold.
Warm drinks, extra light, a fireplace video on Netflix, hot soup and spending at least a little time outside communing with Nature can go a long way to lift my spirits. What are your favorite seasonal inspirations? I’d like to know.
One thing I’m doing to make the season bright this year is a Yule ritual called Rekindle Your Joy! It is happening on December 18th and it’s sure to lift your spirits. Find out more HERE.
Don’t worry, I haven’t forgotten about Aligning with Affluence! I just moved it to the new year so I can give it all the attention it needs after the holiday season is over. I’m really looking forward to it. You’ll hear more in my next newsletter!
This month we have a really good video on preventing/treating Breast Cancer, an article on preventing Gum Disease, the latest research on Alzheimer’s and animal products, Vitamin C for cancer, and how Marijuana stacks up as a cancer treatment.
I hope you care more about your health than one vegan I ran into on Facebook who stated that “some vegans don’t care about their health.” They are only in it for the animals. Huh?
How does it make any sense to destroy your own health with vegan junk food to protect animals when there are so many delicious and healthy vegan options available? Does not compute!
Have questions or comments? —>>> Email Bernadette <<<— Please use this link and do not hit reply to this post or I may never get your message.
Wishing you and yours the very best in this Holiday Season, whatever you like to celebrate… or not celebrate.
Stay cozy and healthy!

The Real Scoop on Breast Cancer
I thought this short video was full of very helpful information for anyone facing breast cancer or the threat of it. Dr. McDougall is a very thorough researcher with decades of clinical experience – he also seems to have a mind like a steel trap. It is amazing how much information he remembers without looking at notes.
Have a listen it could save you life or the life of a woman you love.

Vitamin C for Gum Disease
Do you have bleeding gums, receding gums or other periodontal disease? Find out what scientific studies are saying about cause, prevention and healing.
From NutritionFacts.org:
Part of the development of periodontal disease may involve oxidative stress, so not only do we need to reduce our intake of pro-inflammatory foods, such as refined carbohydrates and saturated fats, but it may also help if we seek out foods that are antioxidant-rich.
Is there an association between periodontitis and dietary vitamin C intake? Apparently so, as you can see in the graph below and at 3:34 in my video. Increased risk of periodontitis has been associated with lower levels of vitamin C intake. What effect might vitamin C depletion and supplementation have on periodontal health? Researchers provided controlled amounts of vitamin C to study participants for three months and found that measures of gum inflammation were directly related to the subjects’ vitamin C status.

Animal Products and Alzheimer’s
Animal products and high-fat diets raise your risk of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease and are “detrimental to the heart and brain” according to recent scientific studies.
From NutritionFacts.org:
AGEs may be one explanation for why those who consume meat may have up to three times the risk of developing dementia compared with vegetarians.
Three times the risk! I don’t like those odds. Let’s stick to whole plant foods.

Vitamin C & Cancer
Not only can Vitamin C protect our gums, it also shows a lot of promise as a cancer treatment. That’s a great motivation to eat fresh raw fruits and vegetables, or at least take a vitamin C supplement.
From NaturalHealth365:
Increasingly, researchers are discovering the role played by cancer stem cells in the growth and spread of the disease. In groundbreaking research, vitamin C showed its ability to target cancer stem cells and stop their growth – preventing the recurrence of tumors.
That sure sounds promising. There are even intravenous Vitamin C treatments available that seem to be quite effective for some forms of cancer. A regular oncologist may not be up to date on the latest treatments, so be sure to do your own research if you are faced with a cancer diagnosis.

Can Pot Actually Remove Cancer?
While we are on the subject of cancer, lets take a look at the prevalent notion that CBD and/or THC can get rid of it. (Big Pharma doesn’t like us to use the word “c-u-r-e” in connection with the big C.)
Unfortunately, though some improvement may occur temporarily, it doesn’t look like MJ is the wonder drug we’ve all been waiting for.
From NutritionFacts.org:
THC may have worked for a few weeks, but then their tumors began growing again despite repeated treatments. The patient with the most dramatic result was a 35-year-old man. At four weeks, his tumor had shrunk dramatically, but then it came back with a vengeance and, despite more infusions, his condition worsened and then he was gone. With no control group, the effect of the treatment on overall survival is unclear.
Too bad. That would have been such an easy solution.

New Earth Ambassador & Faery Emissary
Sharing Health, Wealth & Faery Magic to Uplift the World!
What I love best is creating opportunities for people to tap into the New Earth reality — a reality of harmony, cooperation and prosperity for all. I call it the New Camelot!
I still recall the thrill of discovering how to break through the confusion and angst of living in the old 3D Matrix. That’s when I realized I had found something far more valuable than money or worldly “success.”
So now I spend my time creating courses, blogs and tools to support the citizens of the New Camelot in their ongoing quest for more vital health, abundant wealth and the magic of the faery realm (which is woven into the fabric of the New Camelot like silver threads of wonder).
I am also passionate about protecting Nature, educating people about a healthy whole plant foods diet, artistic creativity, connecting with the faery realm, Celtic and Arthurian lore, writing, painting and gardening.
