Changing Body Energy
By Dr. Carol Ann Fischer, BS, DC, ND

Healthy bodies vibrate with lots of energy. All cells work using an energy vibration known as voltage. Just like an alkaline battery is used to power radios and toys, bodies store and use voltage. In energy medicine, health is associated with negative voltage, and an alkaline state. Conversely, chronic disease and pain are associated with acidity and a loss of voltage.

Voltage is stored by the fat cells that make up the body cell membranes. This allows the cell to have an unlimited source of energy. Bodies will only be able to store energy if the right fats are consumed. A diet rich in good fats like coconut oil, olive oil, avocado and raw butter/raw milk allows cells to properly store energy.

Faster aging, fatigue, pain and dis-ease formation occurs when the wrong fats are eaten. The worst offenders in the food category are cooked and processed foods, especially those made with canola oil, and any type of trans fat from partially hydrogenated or hydrogenated oils.

To reduce spoilage, food manufacturers heat oils to increase the shelf life of processed foods. The heated oils are trans fats that act as plastic fats in the cell membrane. These fats wrap the cells in a substance like cellophane, which cannot store voltage. This is what makes these fats unhealthy.

Environmental stress and toxins, negative thoughts and emotions, trauma, EMF, caffeine, and a poor functioning thyroid also rob the body of energy. Other culprits are the chemicals chlorine and fluoride that are added to the drinking and bathing water. Bottled water contains plastic residue that causes reduced voltage. A diet high in fried foods, meat, pop, sugars and grains also reduces voltage.



The human body functions at -20 to-25 millivolts, which is the healthy blood pH of 7.365 to 7.4.  The body becomes susceptible to dis-ease when voltage drops. A sick body is associated with a low or positive voltage. Increasing the cellular voltage provides the power for the body to heal itself.

The earth recharges itself lightening strikes, which is 800 times/second somewhere around the world. Human body voltage can be increased by connecting with the earth when swimming in the ocean, standing barefoot in dirt, getting sun exposure and standing in running water. This is why most people feel energized when bathing in water through a shower filter, instead of chlorinated tap water. Hugging someone can also increase energy.

Another way to increase voltage energy is to eat a diet that consists mainly of organic raw, unprocessed, chemical free food. Raw foods can be combined and blended into a smoothie or eaten as a salad. A raw food diet alone may not be sufficient to offset the voltage stealers that rob our bodies of life energy. 

Energy can be increased with proper mineral supplementation, sufficient iodine and natural thyroid support, effective digestive enzymes, and organic, unrefined, unprocessed oils. Drinking living water with a high negative voltage can rapidly increase body voltage, allowing the body to start the healing process. The body can heal itself when given the right tools.

Sweets for Your Sweetie

By Dr. Carol Ann Fischer, D.C., N.D.

Valentines Day is the one day that we give something sweet to someone we care about. Show your affection by giving the gift of sweets with real ingredients. There are many different types of sweeteners available today, from natural to man-made synthetics.

Man-made sugars are causing health issues and creating hidden food allergies. The three most common food allergens are wheat/gluten, dairy and corn. Many digestive issues, migraines and headaches, brain fog, aches and pains, chronic sinus congestion and asthma/allergies are related to hidden food allergies.

Most processed foods now contain some form of sweetener. Of the three food allergens, corn is the only food that is used to make sweeteners. For those with corn sensitivities, eating sweets made from corn can be the cause of many unwanted health issues.

Corn is used to make sweeteners because it is cheaper and twice as sweet as table sugar. It is absorbed only 40% as quickly as glucose and causes only a modest rise in blood sugar. Corn has been altered to make high fructose corn syrup (HFCS), sorbitol, xylitol, fructose, sweet & low, sucrose, maltodextrin, poly dextrose, inosital, and saccharin. The average person today consumes 60 pounds of HFCS, which is approximately 19% of the average person's diet.
This man-made HFCS has replaced sugar as the sweetener in many beverages, candy and foods such as breads, cereals, breakfast bars, luncheon meats, yogurts, soups and condiments. In 2009 The Wall Street Journal reported that half of the tested samples of HFCS also contained mercury. Mercury is the most toxic substance known to man, and it is now combined with HFCS.

HFCS with mercury were found in nearly a third of 55 popular brand name food and beverage products. HFCS is now the first or second highest labeled ingredient. HFCS alters body chemistry by causing the growth of fat cells around vital organs, setting the stage for heart disease, obesity, and diabetes. HFCS interacts with oral contraceptives and elevates insulin levels in women on "the pill,” setting them up for diabetes. It also raises serum triglycerides significantly and LDL cholesterol levels. HFCS has no enzymes, vitamins, or minerals and robs the body of its micronutrients in order to metabolize it.

Sucralose or Splenda is another man-made sugar substitute that is high in chlorine. Splenda is made by binding three chlorine atoms to a molecule of sugar. When the body attempts to metabolize this chemical sugar it makes dioxin, a cancer causing chemical that can trigger fatigue, headaches, dizziness, brain fog, nausea, depression, digestive issues and joint pain.

Seventy percent of American women consume Sucralose daily. Sucralose is found in nearly 4,000 food, beverage and health-care products, including diet drinks, ice cream, protein bars, salad dressings, over the counter drugs, chewing gum, vitamins and toothpaste

Another man-made sweetener is Aspartame, commonly known as Nutra-sweet or Equal. Aspartame is now present in 6,000 products and used in over 90 countries. It is even registered with MSG, an aspirin derivative and Mercury Thiomerosal by the FDA for use in vaccines. 
Nutra-sweet is manufactured in North America in Aiken, South Carolina in a genetic engineered GMO bacterial factory. The parent company is Monsanto, maker of the popular weed killer, Round-UpÒ. Aspartame consumption through diet pop has recently been linked to MS, Systemic Lupus and Fibromyalgia.
When aspartame is consumed it breaks down into these neurotoxic substances: Methanol (wood alcohol), Formaldehyde (embalming fluid, also found in commercial cosmetics), Formic Acid, (ant sting venom) and DKP (a known brain tumor agent). All of the man-made sugars HFCS, Nutra-sweet and Splenda, along with mercury can accumulate in the body and cause toxicity reactions.

Show your sweetie how much you really care by giving real sweets this Valentines Day. Look for Valentine sweets that are not made from corn with high fructose corn syrup or vanillin flavoring (artificial vanilla), or artificial sweeteners. Good sweets have real flavorings, real sugar and real ingredients. Most of the better Valentine sweets are available in local health food stores and specialty shops.
