A Cure Beyond Diet and Exercise

It wasn’t so long ago I fell desperately ill. Despite eating a clean, vegan diet, supplemented with powerful superfoods (and exercising regularly) I got sick—really sick. I’ve written an earlier post about it, and how EFT (or tapping) helped me work through emotional blocks that had affected me at a cellular level, manifesting as chronic fatigue, low blood pressure and rapid weightloss. In short, my thoughts and emotions were stronger than any food or yoga pose.

Fast forward a couple of years and things are back on track. I’m still eating a clean vegan diet and exercising when I can (as I’m now a mama to a seven month old bub). But there’s another important addition to my health routine: healthy thoughts, regular meditation and taking stock of emotions and regularly releasing any low vibrational fears and thoughts using Emotional Freedom Techniques (of which I recently became a practitioner).

It’s something that doesn’t get any attention: that our thoughts are actually more powerful than diet and exercise when it comes to maintaining good health. And that’s not just me waxing lyrical, it’s now proven by science that our thoughts are just as important—if not more—than what we fuel our body with.

I’m incredibly blessed, as part of my company, Conscious Life Media, to be working with filmmaker David Scharps, to introduce a powerful film to the world that addresses this very idea. Called THE CURE IS… it brings forward a life-changing message that I believe the world is ready to hear, as billions of dollars continue to be spent on cancer research, while the numbers affected by the disease continue to boom.

In Australia and the United States one in two people are expected to get some form in cancer. In New Zealand, it’s one in three. This speaks loudly. What’s currently been done about disease isn’t working. The slash and burn approach disables the body’s natural healing ability and does nothing to address the cause of the body’s upset. It’s time to rethink it all—literally.

“I looked at what’s happening in our world today, and realised that we’re in the middle of a disease epidemic. Cancer has become the norm in our society. How can that be? I decided I wanted to research how we’ve got to this situation, and what we can do to save ourselves,” says David, who is launching the film to the world online on November 1.

“What I found, after speaking to medical experts, scientists and scholars was a revelation. For generations we’ve thought that the main cause of serious illness was down to genetics. People think that heart disease, cancer or other serious illnesses run in their family. It’s simply not true. We’ve found that only 5 to 10 percent of disease is genetic, the rest is lifestyle, and lifestyle can be controlled by all of us.”

THE CURE IS… explores the relationship between emotions and health, suggesting that an individual’s negative thoughts can contribute to disease and may be the most powerful factor in determining whether a person succumbs to a life-threatening illness. According to the film’s experts, our thoughts are so powerful that they can negate the benefits of even the healthiest diet.

“We now know that our body releases chemicals that either support our health or can destroy it, all based upon what we think and feel,” David says.

“We’ve examined how our thoughts communicate with our heart and then our brain, which releases chemicals that either keep us healthy or break down our immune system and allow for disease. This revelation has highlighted an incredible relationship – that between our emotions and our health.”

“Our emotions may be the most overlooked aspect to good health.”

Experts featured in THE CURE IS… include stem cell biologist and author Dr Bruce Lipton (The Biology of Belief), spiritual teacher and author Marianne Williamson (The Age of Miracles), leading health authority Paul Chek, scientist, visionary and scholar Gregg Braden, internationally recognised cancer expert Dr Bernie Siegel, fitness expert Tony Horton, physician and nutritional researcher Dr Joel Fuhrman, internationally recognised authority on bridging science, spirit and human possibility Dr Sue Morter and nutritionist Deanna Latson.

THE CURE IS… will premiere on www.thecureismovie.com on November 1.
