Brain injuries and water

“Drinking the right water, not just any water, is critical for your health and the prevention of disease. This is true, now more than ever, in our acidic 21st century society.” ~ Horst S. Filtzer, MD,
F.A.C.S. Former Chief of surgery ,
Cambridge Hospital,
Harvard Medical School.

Water is what generates life on the planet and when you have the right quality of water in your body you feel different. This I found out over seven years ago. As I said I loved water and all I drank was a certain label of bottled water, no matter where I was in the world I searched for this bottled water as I felt to me it was the best, that was until I drank ionized Alkaline Water. I thought I was Miss Fitness and when I drank this Alkaline Water how wrong was I!!
Little Miss Fitness became Miss unfit my body went through a huge detox and my body was flushing out all nasty stored up toxins, and over a period of time I really began to notice and feel the benefits of this water in my body.

One of the biggest things I noticed from drinking this alkaline water and still I am so glad to this very day, I had very bad acid reflux from the age of SIX, yes I know so young and boy oh boy did I suffer, and three days of drinking this alkaline water I no longer suffered with acid reflux and that is over seven years now!.
Also from my head injuries I still suffered with bad sleeping patterns, not any more now from drinking alkaline water my sleeping patterns have improved and I am keeping my body and brain constantly hydrated.

What is traumatic brain injury?
Traumatic brain injury, also called TBI, is sudden damage to the brain. It happens when the head hits something violently or is hit again and again, or when an object goes through the skull and into the brain. Causes include

  • Falls
  • Motor vehicle accidents
  • Violence, such as gunshot wounds, child abuse, or beatings
  • Injuries from sports or during combat

Dehydration leads to changes in the volume of compartments within the cranium that could put men and women at risk of brain damage after head injuries, according to a team of UK researchers.
Another important key piece of information I would like to share with you, and going back to my TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury).

Depression
I would like to say I never had this illness until after my accident, and all people both young and old who suffer with head trauma unfortunately can suffer with depression. I call it a silent illness as you may look fine on the outside but there is something else no one can see which is eating you up on the inside. I have spoken with groups and worked with Clients both young and old going through Depression. Another mental health concern which is also becoming common is Anxiety.

Most people do not know that Depression is a common problem after TBI. About half of all people with TBI are affected by depression within the first year after injury. Even more (nearly two-thirds) are affected within seven years after injury. In the general population, the rate of depression is much lower, affecting fewer than one person in 10 over a one-year period. More than half of the people with TBI who are depressed also have significant anxiety.

It is so important for people suffering with depression not to be afraid to go to someone, an either a close family member or friend. I know from a personal point of view that you can’t beat depression through sheer willpower, but you do have some control—even if your depression is severe and stubbornly persistent. The key to depression recovery is to start with a few small goals and slowly build from there. Feeling better takes time, but you can get there if you make positive choices for yourself each day and draw on the support of others, and keep your body physically in the best working order you can, hydration is an important key here.

I have coached and applied healing work with clients of all ages dealing with depression over the years. I would encourage if you are feeling this way to reach out for support or help if you know of a family member or friend that may assist you. To anyone reading this knowing of family/friend suffering with depression  please be their light in the dark tunnel they are caught in. If you would like to contact me regarding this issue I would be more than happy to answer your questions.

It had taken me some time to overcome this but I knew there was light at the end of the tunnel as I had overcome so much before, I could not allow this to stop me. With some of the healing work I had done personally and changing and improving my nutrition  plus drinking alkaline water, I really started to notice that I was no longer slipping into a dark place which would happen so unexpectedly. One of the most important roles of water I learned is to keep your brain and body hydrated consistently.

WholeBrain-450x253I will be posting more on your Holistic Health in future blogs and if there is anything you would like me to discuss, you are more than welcome to drop me an email. And again if you would like to contact me regarding Depression I would be more than happy to answer your questions.

Enjoy and please share if you like.

Water ~ An Introduction

Water Water everywhere, it is the foundation of Life, a combined life force energy along with Air which sustains us as living beings.

Nearly most functions of the body is monitored and noted to the efficient flow of water through our system. Water transports hormones, chemical messengers, and nutrients to vital organs of the body. When we don’t keep our bodies well hydrated, they may react with a variety of signals… some of which, we would never think or consider are related to our poor drinking habits, and actually they are! When we starve body cells of water they start to reset differently, which would include the number one component of health issues presently at large which is STRESS, both Physical & Emotional Stress.
Along with feeling exhausted and lack of energy, constant headaches, and dizziness. Another two big issues in our health and wellness in the present time is Obesity and Diabetes which is on the rise along with Autism, ADHD, Memory loss or foggy brain, Depression, many different skin problems such as dermatitis, psoriasis, there is high cholesterol, high blood pressure, kidney problems, colon issues, acid reflux, arthritis, chron’s disease and the list the list goes on. Yes there is always a pill or a lotion or potion to fit every ailment to give you that temporary remedy, but would you believe me if I said that most of these ailments could be reprogrammed and reset by just drinking water?
Of course I am not kicking the medical society as I am so grateful it saved my life. I was in a very serious accident some years ago I was knocked down in a hit & run, which left me in a coma for a number of months. My Neuro-Surgeon’s considered opinion there was no chance of a full recovery, but here I am fully recovered a passion inside me and  more about that in an and coming  blog post.

I was blessed with a gift and with that and the fire I felt inside myself I had to prove to the doctors that we can make ourselves well as the gifts on the earth all our natural resources which are here for us to use for OUR benefits and to serve us in this lifetime, as fire can breathe fire, life can create life, it’s all energy and that’s what we are made from. Water like us is such a sensitive force, as it is known that plants absorb more water at full moon and least water at new moon.

DNA-double-helix-MTHFR-gene-folate-folic-acid copy All life is motion. And natural movement does not come in straight lines but in spirals which is the actual shape of fluid energy, patterns and rhythms.
I have travelled and lived all over the world and worked with some well renowned and respected healers both in America and Brazil, Egypt and many different parts of Europe, Ireland, Austria, Germany, UK, and Bosnia-Herzegovina.
One of key elements with all the healers I worked with was Water, and I was really involved in the fitness industry and I knew that water is the most important thing we need our bodies to consume each and every day, as a health and holistic therapist my clients would try to fob off their way of drinking water was by having a cup of tea or coffee!!! With hydration you simply cannot beat water.
This is actually one of the ways to Dehydrate your body as this is a list of Dehydrating Drinks
*Coffee,
*Tea
*Soda
*Alcohol
*Sports Drinks
*Energy Drinks
These are NOT water!
They contain water but also dehydration agents, Do NOT treat dehydration with these drinks your choice of drink should be HEALTHY ALKALINE WATER! 
This is one area where I am so passionate about, Water.3792403_orig
