"The Body Knows" - Ask a Medical Intuitive
|

Dear Caroline,
For the past 10 years I have suffered from itchy, flaky skin on the soles of my feet. My heels are particularly bothersome with deep grooves that bleed from time to time. Topical creams seem to help - but only temporarily. Can you shed light on this?
Richard L. Boise ID
Dear Richard,
Flaky skin, eczema or psoriasis is often attributed to the Candida Yeast Syndrome. Unfortunately, topical creams, while useful in the short term are not getting to the root of the problem. I believe that Candida Yeast is rampant in our society - one of the great plagues in our culture. It is not surprising, given the frequent use of antibiotics, which affect intestinal flora balance plus our high consumption of starches and sugars.
For many years, I have detected this "fungus among us" by scent. It is a sweet, sickly smell that wafts off the body and when I detect it, I can almost predict that the person will be tired, craving sweets, may have skin eruptions or the beginnings of memory loss not to mention, gas, bloating and mood swings among other seemingly unrelated symptoms.
We only need to look at all of the ads on television to see the array of creams and compounds for psoriasis, dandruff, toe nail fungus, bladder infections, vaginal yeast infections as well as memory and energy enhancers, to know that millions of people are dealing with this yeast and do not know it.
On a metaphysical level, I believe that Candida is the beginning of "the death process" - the slow, steady, cell-by-cell decline of the physical body. Not only candida yeast, but parasites, fungi, bacteria and infections of all kinds contribute to this breakdown and decay.
Yeasts are fed on sugars and starches. Often, we try to salve the deep yearnings of the heart with these foods. Your problem, will correct with persistence and diligence when you realize that it is not coming from the surface of your skin but deep within your body - both physically and emotionally.
I suggest that you seek out a local practitioner or ask at the health food store for a preparation that eradicates candida. You will probably have to take this preparation/supplement for at least six months. Along with your anti-candida supplement, I suggest you follow the "candida diet" in which sugars of all kinds including, fruit juice, honey and dried fruit are kept very, very low.
Now lets look at the problem and its emotional correlations. The feet are related to understanding. The soles of the feet represent our platform, stance or belief systems. Interesting that the heels are most deeply affected. Think of it as your Achilles heel. Look inside and see what is bothering you deep down. Where is the "wound" in your life? Count the number of deep grooves that bleed and you will probably come up with the exact number of unresolved issues that you are dealing with. It is probably something that goes way back such as many years of financial strain, hard work with out validation or recognition, a loss of love or a disappointment in love that was hard for you to bear. The body knows. It has a miraculous capacity to recover and in time with all of these pieces in place, your feet will heal and reflect to you all the profound work you have done.
Dear Caroline,
Four months ago, I had a cancerous tumor removed from my left lung. I often suffered from asthma as a child and I wondered if there could be a correlation. Currently, although I am healing from the surgery, and the prognosis is good, I feel weak and listless. I am interested in your intuitive impressions regarding my situation.
Graham B. Corvalis, OR
Dear Graham,
Bless your heart - my thoughts are with you move forward on the road to recovery. Keep a positive focus on your body's capacity to recover. Speak to your body and encourage it to repair on all levels. The pivotal question in terms of any illness is to engage the will to live. Ask yourself the question "What is my will to live." On a scale of 1 - 10, the will to live should be high - 7 or above. If you intuitively sense that it is less than 5, do your best to engage it. Bless everything in your life - even your illness and fill your body with gratitude and love. As soon as this takes place, the energy for healing will flood back into your body.
The left side of the body is considered to be the feminine or receptive side. The lungs, in Chinese medicine represent grief. Interesting that you suffered from asthma as a child. Asthma on an emotional level can stem from an overbearing or smothering mother or grief from a loss or disappointment in relationship or career.
On the physical level, your aim is to strengthen the body and rebuild your immune system. Food allergies can play an important role here. Any food, to which the body is intolerant, can initiate a histamine response and weaken the immune system. Few people are aware of the negative effects of common foods.
I suggest that you eliminate wheat-based products from your diet. Wheat is a very common allergen and can make a person tired, not to mention contributing to arthritic symptoms, due to carbohydrate content and gluten - use 100% rye bread or rice instead. Milk-based products are mucous-forming and can affect the respiratory tract as well. While you are recovering, I suggest eliminating dairy products and substituting small amounts of rice milk, almond milk or soymilk into the diet.
Now look at your home environment - are you exposed to molds, pet dander or airborne allergens? All of these impact the lungs. When a person has had a serious illness, iron and B vitamin levels can be low. I suggest B vitamins and an absorbable liquid iron supplement. Red meat is one of the best forms of absorbable iron and B vitamins. If you are not currently eating red meat, you might consider adding it to the diet twice a week. Beef broth or beef soup can also be helpful.
Did you know that cancer cells are glucose supported? Any fast-growing cell needs sugar to live. Along with all of the above strategies, keep your sugar intake as low as possible.
Finally I suggest a visit to your local health care practitioner who can assist you in building your immune system and body's defenses. Take time to explore the core emotional issues and release them. Then the body is well on its way to experiencing a whole new level of wellness.
