I wish that being a doctor meant that my family and I would never get sick. Unfortunately, viruses, bacteria and other sources of illness do not discriminate based on profession. Here’s what’s in my toolkit to keep us going in sickness and in health.
Natural remedies for cough and sore throat
Tea – teas with ingredients like licorice and slippery elm have throat-coating properties that help reduce irritation.
Honey – its throat-coating properties can soothe sore throats and suppress coughs. Have some on a spoon or stir it into tea.
When you sleep, your body repairs and restores itself. Studies have shown that poor or interrupted sleep slows down healing and has a negative effect on body systems.
How can I improve my sleep quality?
Slow down: create a routine for winding down at the end of your day. This might include sipping herbal tea, doing a calming meditation or breathing exercise, stretching gently, or curling up in bed with a book.
Turn off: power down your electronic devices at least an hour before bed. The blue light from your...
A few years ago, I began to hit a serious dip in my energy levels. Each day, I would wake up feeling like I had been beaten up in my sleep, rolling out of bed with pain in my muscles and zero energy.
Walking up the stairs felt like a herculean effort—and I’m in good physical shape. This wasn’t like me.
We try to do everything we can in our house to stay healthy. Eat right, exercise, meditate, work with traditional healing practices, ceremonies—you name it. After all, this is what I do...
The full moon of July 3, 2023 continues to work in the cosmic light. The first ‘wake up’ wave will spread and the head will be touched via the photon light.
The pineal gland therefore receives a very high light and the power is increased and expanded. The third eye opens the images of yesteryear in a clear layer.
COMPLAINTS
Physical complaints can occur in the head, such as tired eyes and poorer vision, the ears can slam shut, which can cause ringing in the ears, high beeps and other...
What if I told you that there are ways to relax and improve your intelligence at the same time?
Hopefully, all of you are doing some sports to be in good shape and feel better. However, not all people pay as much attention to stretching their brain even though it is also extremely important. Your brain needs constant care and exercises to keep up the good work and generate healthy ideas.
However, boosting your creativity and exercising your brain is not all about hard work. Sometimes, all...
There are many symptoms of cognitive decline which show that your brain is actually slowing down. It can happen at any age or for any number of reasons.
Determining whether your brain is functioning properly or not might be a bit confusing, but you should pay attention to certain kinds of situations. For instance, you may find it hard to understand new technology and gizmos even though you may have been considered a “techie” in the past. Also, you may find people talking to you...
If you want to learn how to become happier, the following science-backed methods will help you a lot.
One of the theories in the field of psychology claims that all people have a “starting point” of happiness, which defines their wellness. All our life revolves around it and the fact if we feel more or less happy depends on what is happening in our daily lives. But we can “reboot” our minds.
While the world may or may not be in worse trouble than...
Have you ever been convinced that you’d woken up from sleep, but in fact, you were still dreaming? If so you might have experienced a false awakening.
A false awakening happens when the dreamer wakes up during their dream only to realise they are still dreaming and wake up later on. While the dreamer believes they are awake, they might go through the motions of turning off an alarm, getting out of bed and eating breakfast. However, they will then suddenly...
Have you been dreaming of earthquakes recently? Normally this is a very rare dream, but several people I’ve spoken to recently reported having this dream. So what does an earthquake dream mean? Let’s find out.
How to Interpret Your Earthquake Dream
9 General Meanings of Earthquake Dreams
If you live in an area that is prone to earthquakes this dream indicates minor difficulties to come. However, generally speaking, earthquake dreams are a lot more significant.
1. Dramatic changes ahead
Dreams about an earthquake signify drastic changes and a complete...
Did you wake up depressed and tired? The good news is there are ways to help. A diurnal variation known as morning depression happens to more people than you think. Sometimes these changes in overall mood happen rapidly and randomly. The strange thing is, people often just think it’s grogginess or a normal process of waking up, but it’s not. Morning depression is characterized by several symptoms that may differ from the normal process of waking.
Symptoms of morning depression This diurnal variation can cause similar symptoms to normal waking moods, especially negative feelings, but they are...
Sharks. Denizens of the deep. Fearsome predators. Sharks have a negative association in real life. Just two bars of music from Jaws conjures up the image of that terrifying mouth of razor-sharp teeth rising from the ocean. So what do dreams about sharks mean?
Does the presence of a shark in your dream indicate a threat in real life? Is it, therefore, a warning to be careful? But we often swim with sharks so it is a signal to be more daring? Let’s first look at what sharks in dreams represent. Then we can interpret various scenarios....
Mental blocks are stressful and sometimes painful things to experience and quite hard to overcome. When you have a mental block, your own brain is preventing the recall of memories or your ability to understand something.
Remember your school days. Did you ever feel like no matter how many times the teacher explained something, you just couldn’t get it into your mind? What about trying to recall information you previously knew, but now can’t seem to find the memory in your brain at all? These are both examples of mental blocks. Writer’s block is also a type of mental block...
Men and women want long, healthy hair, so to lose it in real life is devastating. But what do dreams about losing hair mean? Let’s find out.
The Importance of Hair Both in Dreams and in Real Life
From the Bible to the modern-day, a full head of hair signifies masculinity, sexuality, and fertility. For example, Samson was a famous Israelite warrior. He was renowned for the strength he gained from his long hair. Samson’s hair was cut by his true love Delilah, who was sent by the Philistines to defeat him. As a result, he lost this...
Seasonal depression isn’t just about suffering in the wintertime. Summer depression is also a problem and can be just as debilitating.
Seasonal depression disorder is known as the almost paralyzing feeling of depression which generally attacks during the fall/winter months. I know this condition well and struggle horribly just to get through the seasons.
Science teaches us of seasonal depression that strikes during the winter months, but there’s little information about the seasonal episodes that characterize summer depression – this also exists.
The tragedy of summertime depression
What’s worse than the end of summer? That would be a summer filled...
There are many people who have a phobia of snakes, but whether we like it or not, snakes feature in our waking lives. We use them to describe certain attributes in other people. For example, a ‘snake in the grass‘ is someone we don’t trust. Snakes are symbolic. From the very beginning in the Bible, a serpent beguiled Eve in the Garden of Eden and tempted her to offer an apple to Adam. But what do dreams about snakes mean?
Dreams about Snakes and Their Meanings
Snakes feature a lot in dreams. But are dreams about snakes still...
There are many theories as to why we dream, but dreams about animals are particularly interesting.
We use animals in our everyday lives to describe certain aspects of human behaviour. For example, we ‘horse’ around with our friends when we have fun, we call a person a ‘snake’ if we don’t trust them, and someone is a ‘rat’ if they talk behind our backs.
Therefore, animals can symbolise parts of our personality.
Dreams about driving a car can be wonderfully exhilarating or extremely frightening. It all depends on the context.
If you were driving a car in your dream and it’s stuck in your mind, it could be a sign from your subconscious. As to why we dream? There are many theories.
Freud was the first to put forward the idea that we all have hidden desires buried in our subconscious mind. Freud believed that dreams are a way of letting us...
Why do we dream? Experts do not agree on one simple explanation. But there are many interesting theories.
So why do we dream? Are dreams worth analysing or are they simply reflections on thoughts and experiences of the day?
You could argue that cats and dogs dream, but we don’t pay special attention to those dreams. When a dog is sleeping and its legs twitch, we can safely assume it is dreaming of running or chasing. Not that its psyche is struggling with some unhidden...

I’m reposting this blog from May of this year, as it has been very disturbing to see the mainstreaming of the Satanic Agenda and astral black magic being targeted at the younger generation of teenagers to 20 something millennials. This group has a much harder time with discernment and personal clarity, being able to navigate the maze of increasingly distorted realities from aggressive use of AI, electronic harassment, frequency of fear related bullying and holographic insert mind control. Many millennials exist as an emotional powder keg, ready to explode into panic, fear or aggression, never having...
