White Nose Bat Syndrome

As if Tennesse weren't already in a dire Health Crisis with low birthweight babies and extreme obesity of it's residents from young to old. Now we just saw the worst flooding in decades with thousands left homeless and billions of dollars needed to repair.

What could possibly be added to this equation to turn This situation from bad to Worse?


White Nose Bat Syndrome (WNS)


This is an infectious fungus which has killed over 1 million bats in the North Eastern U.S. since it was 1st observed in 2006.

There has been NO human illnesses due to this and there is NO evidence to suggest that it is harmful to any species other than bats.

6 caves in TN alone have been confirmed & documented with the syndrome, with the first case in March, 2010. Also confirmed in Missouri, Ontario, Canada, New England, West Virginia and Virginia.

Eating up to 2/3 of their body weight in insects in one night. By keeping the insects under control it ultimately reduces the quantities of insecticides used on crops as well as play a role in pollination.

In April the U.S. Forestry Service issued an emergency order to close caves and mines in 33 states for up to one year.


How does This affect Tennessee's Health?

The 2010 Farmer's Almanac predicts that June, July & August will be The Hottest and Dryest that have been recorded in decades in TN.

With only roughly 5-10% of bats surviving this WNS, and the continued abundant rains & flooding makes for a perfect storm of record high mosquito & other insect counts.

Mosquitos carry And transmit to infect: H1N1 - Bird Flu, the "new" Swine Flu, Malaria & Cholera just to name a few.

The other insects will attack the food crops & the (animal) meat supply which will cause Farmers & Ranchers to depend on enormous amounts of pesticides & insectesides - Poisons to do what the bats Would have done Naturally.
All of those toxins come down the food chain to Your dinner table.


Now, add to the equation:

Hundreds of Thousands of people left homeless through NO fault of their own.
(People who were already in an unhealthy state - Both personally and geographically.)

In about a month we will see the temperature rise as always - only This time (predicted) to have little relief in the form of cooling rain and certainly NO air conditioning.

Where will all these people go to get out of the heat? I spent a summer in N. Florida living totally outside with NO a/c and let me tell You, in hindsight, by the end of 3 months I was literally going insane from the 24 hour heat; and that was with the Blessing of all the hurricanes the summer of Katrina to give us a cool respite.


I'm sorry to be the messenger or the one to see the handwriting on the wall, but I have to tell it like I see it.

So we have:

100s of 1,000's with an already compromised immune system due to a lifetime of poor diet practices
+
90% Decrease in the Bat population
+
100% Increase in Toxin use
+
Standing water in most of TN's Counties
+
100-fold Increase in Disease transmitting mosquitos
+
100-fold Increase in other insects
+
50+% Decrease in pollination

=

A (TN) State of Health Disaster of epic proportions.

We are moving quickly from "Crisis" mode into "Survival" mode here in Tennessee.

If changes are Not made Immediately - on the State And Personal level - we will see the death toll and the cost of infectious disease "treatment" & "cure" skyrocket beyond exponentially.

THIS IS THE WAKE UP CALL!

THERE Is NO Snooze Button!

IT IS TIME TO ACT!

A word with AN

Today's focus: Preparing to Refeed & suffer the Syndrome

For the past week I've allowed my AN to have the upper hand. After extenuating circumstances and months of anxiety, depression & stress my AN has been out in full force. In fact I sit here now taking a quick break inbetween staying busy from 1 chore to the next. (I have been been ingesting My LIMU juice about 4oz a day with about 300 cals. a day)

This is why I am Here.

To have a few words with the AN and the Voice.

I have known for a week that I Will be back on the LIMU LEAN. I've also learned in that time about the Refeeding Syndrome so I now know what to expect so it won't be such a shocker to Me.

So, I'm here to say:

I Will allow Myself to feel bad when the Refeeding Syndrome process hits.

I have prepared the house and the Family for this event.

I will take the down time that the Syndrome forces on My Body & Mind to use constructively & actively to learn how to Better take care of Me.

I will NOT stop the Syndrome or Refeeding process half way through.

I will continue to ingest the LIMU Nutrients & Protein a couple of times Everyday.

I will consume My safe foods in addition to drinking My Nutrients.

I will NOT let the Voice make Me feel guilty for laying down and allowing My Body AND Mind the rest it Needs to repair & regenerate My Health.

I will actively speak out aginst the Voice with my mouth and writings.

I will share My experiences, thoughts, feeling & emotions with My Support Team of Family, Therapists & Friends.

I will NOT let AN get the upper hand again.


I Have learned tools to help Me in My fight against AN & The Voice.

I Know the triggers.

I know their tricks.

I know what is safe for Me.

I am going 2BRecoverED!

Thanks for being a witness to my conversation with RAN! (Restrictive Anorexic)

Blessings of Peace & Health, Enlightenment & Prosperity to YOU & Yours!

Refeeding Syndrome

Refeeding Syndrome is a Real biological response to the introduction of Nutrients into the body of a person suffering starvation or severe malnutrition. As in the case of the Eating Disordered patient, the reintroduction of nutrients can place a heavy toll on the Body and Mind of the person in the beginning stages of Recovery.



The "feelings" Are Real. The complete lack of energy after ingesting food accompanied with the pain in the stomach followed by the bloat and gas and even the hard stools as the body starts the Recovery process.



These feelings are what trigger most people to Stop the current "New" way of life and go back to restriction or binge/purge because the ED coping mechanism actually Does "feel" Better than the experience of the Refeeding Syndrome.

When the Body and Brain start to "feel bad" as many cannot fully explain or articulate just Exactly What it is they are feeling, then the anxiety rushes in and the only way known to "alleviate" this new anxiety is to replace it with the tried and true ED coping mechanisms that Never make them feel bad like the food is 'apparently' doing.

Beyond My Control

Thanks to circumstances which were way Beyond My control, I have been taken off my LIMU LEAN Meal Replacement Shake. It has been almost 2 weeks now without. I was up to 3 weeks with and feeling wonderful, the refeeding process was just starting to settle down with physical & emotional anxieties surrounding food and the Actual Act of eating food was lessening dramatically to the point of my choosing to snack during the daylight hours.
Then it was gone. No more for Me or me.

Now my muscles are killing me. Screaming out in pain with the slightest of movements which by the way has increased Steadily since the decline in my Nutrient consumption. You know that An...she'll stay busy because there is Always Something more to be done as Mom, Wife & Person - which actually there is NO time left over for Personal Self as this is considered selfish & lazy in my Distorted AN Mind as well as to the outside people around Me.

So by now my mind & body are close to being back to square 1 before the LEAN And even before the LIMU. Rest assured...because I am....LIMU is NOT the culprit or reason for any relapses.

The fact that as soon as my Body & Mind start to get fed proper, they expect it Everyday. After a few weeks or months it becomes to Rely on the Nutrients that are In the product. This is NOT a bad thing - but quite the opposite. This is the way the Body & Mind are Supposed to function properly - by Ingesting Nutrients...Not just Calories or a certain amount of Bulk food.

After 25+ yrs of being a restrictive Anorexic, i have effectively taught My Body & Mind to NOT rely on ME for nutrition. Time & again I have personally failed to ingest food no matter what form. Oh sure i would feed the body for a while, then quit. Feed & quit and the cycle has perpetuated a quarter of a century to the point of this ana being able to function independently of My wishes or wants. Always falling back on the old "I told You so______" fill in the blank about how i cannot eat because it hurts, because i "feel bad" because i am no good and don't deserve the food. And lets not forget the infamous, "You are a failure. See You can't even stick to a simple diet of "easy foods". So No, YOU canNOT be the one in control because YOU don't know how to." my AN screams at me.

And so once again I did it. I started probably The Best choice for Food Nutrition I have Ever had in my life. I was actively fighting back against ana in thought and deed. My Body was fighting back too as it WAS gaining strength for the ensueing battle to be Won...and My intention was for ME to win the war.
I continued on the new even healthier course for about 21 days - which is the amount of time it takes the average Human to pick up a new habit. Just as I was getting my feet back on The Road 2BRecoverED, up from the dark depths of the hollow to which I had fallen into yet again, the decision was made on "my behalf" by My Family to get rid of the LEAN shakes from my house & diet "because it obviously was Not working" for My Recovery.

So, I write this very personal experience today in hopes that if You or someone You know is desperately Trying & Working 2BRecoverED be Supportive of their "Safe Foods".
As Restricting Foods from a person whose mindset is to Restrict food, in one way or another, WILL ONLY Backfire on You and worse yet - THEM.

Recovery from an Eating Disorder has Got to start with Feeding the Body Nutrients. With a depleted Nutrient Supply in the Body there is NO possible way for Recovery of the Mind to begin. Without the Mental Energy or Ability to use "Mindful Thinking" during the Recovery process those who Suffer are only doomed to repeat the same "Habits" of Disordered Eating that got them to that point in the 1st place.

This is why LIMU & LEAN are an Integral part of MY fight 2BRecoverED from Anorexia. Yes, they ARE "only" Liquid food, but they are Safe as they are unobtrusive in the mouth & throat and Especially in the stomach and intestines as well as Safe for my Mind to handle ingesting. No big deal My Mind says to the shake when I am running from the steak dinner I'm serving the rest of My Family.

Safe? Very. Effective? ABSOLUTELY!

Get the BODY Healthy and the MIND Will Follow.

I believe this more today than i did 3 years ago when I got that 1st case of Golden Nectar; for today i can look back and see the progress, the slips & falls, the triggers and safe's and actually See, Feel and Think differently - for the Positive - simply because I refuse to waver from My Decision to Drink LIMU for My Health.

Sure, my Recovery has Not happened as fast as I originally hoped it would, but after tearing my Body & Mind down for all those years, it only stands to reason it would take at least few to fix Me and my An.

Here's to better days on The Road 2BRecoverED with LIMU and (soon to be again) LEAN!

Order Yours Today and start Your way to the Easiest Healthy Habit You Will see results from!

Blessings of Peace & Health, Enlightenment & Prosperity to YOU & Yours!
