“Your attitude” hints at how your body may have arrived at such a frail place as to allow in Fibromyalgia. It hints at how an opportunisitic infection may have set up shop and overwhelmed your otherwise healthy immune system when you got so sick with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. But there’s much more, so let’s look at 9 specific examples and then decide what to do next: (Note: only a portion of the information is here. To get every bit of it, take the time to listen to the full audio version below.)

#1) Fear. If you find reasons to fear a portion of your life, you may not boldly address problems and deal with them. Every person has the capacity to fear, but the people who allow fear to cripple them stay relegated to a subservient status in life. That is the true damage of fear-based thinking. What started you to feel fear is often not nearly so dangerous as the result of ongoing, unresolved fears. Allowing longterm fear to control you imposes a special kind of damage on the immune system, your organs and more. Fear is the ultimate negative emotion and it does nothing good to the human body when left unresolved or unaddressed.

(Audio 13 min 45 seconds)

#2) Being overwhelmed. Feeling overwhelmed occasionally is perfectly normal. Everyone gets overwhelmed. However, without the ability to move forward, we human beings feel like frustrated failures. That is no way to live a measurable and happy life. Feelings of frustration and being overwhelmed can damage the body and the immune system. It may even contribute to autoimmune illness symptoms.

#3) Not seeing what’s ahead of you. Some people like a challenge. It gets them up in the morning and motivates their actions. Other people are intimidated by the unknown and shrink from unanswered questions. They literally cannot see the future ahead, so they cower in the background, do nothing and hope the situation will resolve itself. If you’re having trouble, ask yourself which type of person are you. Are you scared and unsure? Are you excited and hopeful? The attitude that you maintain concerning life’s unknowns has everything to do with whether your system operates at a high output level and you’re happy or whether it is pooping out before you get started and you feel miserable.

#4) The How questions. If there’s not a clear road map ahead for how to tackle your problems, how will you solve them? How will you move forward? How can you make progress and solve the how questions? How questions imply that you need a detailed roadmap of where you’re going and how you’re going to get there. I suggest that you only need a starting place. None of us knows the future. It may be much grander than you imagine it to be.

#5) The need to be perfect. How many of us who are ill with Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome or some other chronic illness are perfectionists of some sort? We have the need to perform at our best. This is innately human and involves feelings of pride, self-esteem and accomplishment. But when the need for success drives you to perform in ways that drive you over the edge of reason, you’re courting disaster.

#6) Being the caretaker. And going along with this super-achieving person can be a role you assume as caretaker. Women are especially vulnerable to the pressures of being a caretaker, but men are not immune. If someone you care about is ailing or in need of your help, you may be tempted to jump right into the situation. In the process, you add to your own life burdens and effectively write a check that your body may not be able to cash! Unless you’re sensitive to your mind, body and spirit needs, fulfilling your role as someone else’s caretaker eventually may mean that you need one of your own because you’re no longer able to function.

#7) Today’s pressure. Most of us do what’s in front of us most of the time. If that means that you’re not thinking about tomorrow, that lack of vision and focus could end up being very short-sighted. No matter how pressure-filled your life is today, you must make the time and emotional effort to plan for and take care of your long term needs. If you don’t, you run the risk of not being very functional tomorrow. Anyone with a long term illness knows that at some level.

#8) Being in control. People who feel like they have to always be in 100% control are often doubtful of their own ability. They worry about the future, so they try to control it and the people around them. If you look beyond that limitation and realize that you don’t have to be in total control, yes, you’ll be tested, but you’ll grow in the process. The testing process means you’ll extend your boundaries, resilience, strength, and perception of what you can and cannot do. You will have taken action and will have been brave in doing so.

#9) Staying with what you know. How often does fear of the unknown keep you from moving forward? Think of the first question today: fear. Sometimes it feels more comfortable to stay where you are, even if that’s in a dysfunctional state, than to go beyond what you already know for sure. If your life and health are to be good again and you to improve, you must learn how to handle the unknown and not be afraid of it. Long term progress is built on moving forward.

Okay, except for the additional info included in the audio broadcast, that’s it for today. However, take one more minute to sign up for my next teleseminar series that’s coming up soon! Hearing the information and ideas I will bring to you will get you further head faster than trying to do all of this on your own.

Cinda Crawford, host of the Health Matters Show

How can I make that statement when there seems to be nothing worthy of your dreams? When instead your fantasies seem more like nightmares?

Because there is still hope today. It exists in several forms and I’ll tell you more about each piece of the puzzle during the next few months. I personally am very thankful that you’ve arrived here at the Health Matters Show. You can find hope and some very specifically tailored help.

I invite you to check out my newest published article, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Information - What’s Out There to Help You?
If you like what you hear and it gives you a reason to smile, sign up to join me for my upcoming teleseminar series about healing. It starts very soon. You have nothing to lose by attending and everything to gain. (See the signup box in the top right hand column, underneath the video.)

I welcome you here and cherish your participation,
Cinda Crawford, host of the Health Matters Show

Young people, I implore you. Do not give up hope. Please… please don’t. There is actually a lot of good news and it’s not all drug-related. There is an outstanding possibility that the majority of you can heal from this illness! (I had it for 15 years & I got better… really!)

I encourage you to sign up for the a set of teleseminars that I’m hosting in the next few weeks. Come hear what I have to say. If you can’t be on the call live, sign up anyway. I’ll send you a link to hear it afterwards. I hope you consider this your invitation to sign up and attend. The box to do so is on the right. You have my solemn promise that I’ll bring young people and adults alike exceptional news of how to begin healing from Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. For real. For sure.

Here’s to your health and happiness, Cinda Crawford
Host of the Health Matters Show

Point #1: People are getting well and reclaiming their lives from “Fibro” and all types of chronic illnesses everyday. Now, that includes getting help with all their symptoms, including pain.

Point #2: Open your mind to the possibilities of healing, feeling good and getting well again. If you think you’ve already heard the latest buzz of sensationalized hype, don’t turn a deaf ear just yet. You don’t want to miss out on really solid information that could help you.

Point #3: Consider learning about what’s out there. And one of the easiest ways to learn is by joining me on the telephone for special teleseminars designed specifically to provide you with the “healing” information you need now.

*Teleseminars are special telephone call/ conference calls set up in advance to listen to someone’s teachings, philosophy and more. These particular teleseminars cost you nothing but the price of your own phone call which is what you normally pay your carrier. Whenever there is a cost involved, I will let you know that in advance.

I give teleseminars because it is an easy way for you learn great information quickly and painlessly. You can even listen in bed with a speaker phone! That won’t bother me in the least. And please know one more thing… if you can’t be on the live calls for whatever reason, you should go ahead and register for them anyway. I plan to include a 48-hour window after these calls where you can go to your computer and listen to them for free. Now that can be the first time you hear the information or your fifth. I simply want to give you the best opportunities to hear this message.)

See the “Sign Up 4 Live Event Teleseminars Here!” box in the top right corner, underneath the video on this website.

I want you to feel better. That journey begins now by deciding to learn what you need to know. I’m happy to guide you and help you every step of the way. If you get real help, you’ll be better able to manage your pain and every other symptom.

PS- I’d appreciate your sending this blog entry or the ezine article itself on to your friends with Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. The more people we have on the calls, the better for all of us. No one wants to suffer or see their friends suffer either.

We’ll be talking more about healing soon,
Cinda Crawford, host of the Health Matters Show

Please go and check it out. Enter to win a nice prize. If more of us laugh and smile, not only will there be fewer tears and frowns, but our happiness and health quotient will go up by a zillion percent!

Thanks, Cinda Crawford

If you adopt this attitude and choose this action, you move from being in charge of your health to assuming a passive role. You’re choosing to react at the smallest level possible and still considered to be in the game.

In a nutshell, there lies the problem. Essentially you give away your power by allowing it to be usurped by the medical profession. And, dear one, you probably did this because that’s what you’ve been led to believe was the smart thing to do.

(8 min 50 sec audio)

If you’re critically ill, that may be the best policy. But if you’re not critically ill and instead you’re suffering with a long term, chronic illness like Fibromyalgia or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and you’re not getting better or getting your life back on track, I urge you reconsider your choices.

Instead, I urge you to take back your power and move forward on your own terms. That may include some consultation and services by a regular doctor, but on a smaller scale. Very possibly you can accomplish more and make progress faster using this revised approach.

Plus, you may incur less cost and less aggravation time-wise, socially, emotionally, professionally and economically by choosing an integrative medical approach that includes several aspects of a broader mind/ body/spirit concept.

Okay, I hope that’s enough reason to get you interested in joining a special group of people. Over the next 6 weeks, people who sign up for my Teleseminar list will be invited to participate in a set of “on the phone” health teleseminars to learn about these concepts. We’ll meet at the same time each week and investigate:

1) What is the mindset that allows you to purposefully and powerfully choose to leave illness behind and choose health once again? What is this concept of mind/body/spirit medicine? Why is it so important and how does it interact with the energy components of your body and health?

2) What is energy healing all about and how can it affect your health? What are the bio-energetics of the human body and how do they work to keep you healthy? What types of healing information and services are available to you and how can they assist you in improving and maintaining good health?

3) What are the basic concepts of the Sacred Cellular Healing Protocol? Who developed it? How? Why? How can you benefit from it directly? Why should you look into it if you have Fibromyalgia or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome?

During the last 3 weeks, we’ll explore many of the intricacies and secrets of why Sacred Cellular Healing can be so effective for not only people who suffer with Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, but also for conditions like osteo- and rheumatoid arthritis, allergy-type problems, autoimmune illnesses (e.g. Lupus), infections caused by bacteria, viruses, spirochetes (e.g. Lyme Disease), and the list goes on and on and on.

I will send out regular notices to everyone on my teleseminar list about this special series. If you know you haven’t signed up on the list yet, I urge you to go immediately to the signup box on the right hand side of the blog page. It’s underneath the video. The box is marked, “Sign up 4 ‘Live Event’ Teleseminars Here!”

By letting me know your interest, I’ll stay in touch about this special teleseminar events and others as they’re scheduled. Okay, I have to run now and start planning how to provide you the most powerful information about healing that you’ve heard to date!

Thanks so much for dropping by,
Cinda Crawford, your host of the Health Matters Show

Decide to join me today. Here are 3 Things You Can Do:

1) I would greatly appreciate you going to Technorati and submit a Reader Review about the Health Matters Show blog and podcast.

2) Also, anytime you read a blog post or hear a podcast that you think is valuable or helpful… Please click the ‘Share This’ button directly underneath the post. Then share it or link it to Facebook, Digg, StumbleUpon, Delicious, MySpace or whatever. Your action really helps because it spreads the good words from the Health Matters Show and also helps the website to rank higher in the natural search engine process with Yahoo and Google.

3) I would love it if you would “Leave a Comment.” Each time you leave your thoughts or questions, it allows you and I to interact at a deeper level of understanding. It allows us to help each other. Plus, comments are often picked up by the search engines, too, if they are relative, content-rich and really add to the conversation. Leaving a comment improves the visibility of the Health Matters Show.

Now… I know these things are a teenie bit of trouble, but here’s another very important reason why I ask you to do them. Unlike a lot of other websites, I am coming off of disability and choose to spend my dollars on improving the website and providing you the best material possible. The fact is… I choose not to buy paid Internet advertising to get people here.

I depend on good folks like you to help me spread the word about the Health Matters Show so that it gets a good, “natural” placement in the rankings when people search the terms Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Plus, word of mouth is the best way to really find out about anything fantastic on the Internet anyway. Please talk up the show. Send your friends and family here. Everyone is welcome.

Note: If this website is to be relative today to the 15 million people suffering from Fibromyalgia, they must find it. The same goes for the 1 million Chronic Fatigue Syndrome sufferers. Consider this my thanks to you for being involved with me and the Health Matters Show. Let me know how I can help you anytime at cinda@getwellhealth.com. You cannot imagine what you mean to me or how much I value you.

Thanks, Cinda Crawford
Host of the Health Matters Show

That statement probably hits close to home. Why? Because you want to get well more than anything else in your life right now.

Because I think this aspect of the Health Matters Show’s purpose is so important, I’m adding a section to the inner column of the blog entitled, “How Health Matters Show Can Help You.” I hope you’ll check out the entire passage. Then refer your friends and colleagues here to read it. They can sample this special blog and podcast that’s devoted to helping millions of people heal from Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. (I know… a mighty objective, but it’s more do-able than you realize.)

Just know that people who get involved with me personally and professionally at the Health Matters Show and at Get Well Health get enthused about their chances of “health recovery.” Truly, this work is exciting.

People ask what they can do to help me promote my work and, specifically, help to promote the Health Matters Show. Simply know that there is much to be done and you really can assist in the process. Return here tomorrow for more information and a very special and personal request.

Thanks so much,
Cinda Crawford, host of the Health Matters Show

Why do you need this info? How can it help you? Because Kimball is a real expert who fights the good fight as a skilled massage therapist and aromatherapist. He helps so many people and is so giving with the knowledge that he’s learned. I marvel at what he knows and keeps tucked away in his brain. I’m determined to absorb as much as possible when I’m in his presence. I know you’ll feel the same way.

So let’s delve into the matter of exactly what is pain, how do we address it head on and what tools we can use to find relief from pain. And as you guessed, we’re talking about Young Living Essential Oils as the specific tool to help us. I find so many of these therapeutic-grade oils to be the best mechanisms for relieving pain symptoms and for encouraging my body back to health. I hope you experience them for yourself, but of course, if you ever have a question about an oil, how to use it or you decide you’d like to get involved in Young Living as an exciting business opportunity, just email me at cinda@getwellhealth.com and I’ll get back to you. It is always my pleasure.

Okay, now… let’s find out how to relieve pain.

Note: This interview went a whopping 43 minutes and 40 seconds. Every minute is jam-packed with fantastic and useful data. I highly encourage you to listen to the entire interview. I wouldn’t spend my time providing you with anything but the best. But if you need quick answers for fighting pain symptoms immediately, download the mp3 file to your computer or mobile device and fastfoward it to about the 35 minute 43 second mark. At that point in the interview, Kimball really spills the beans with some specific answers!)

And one more thing to add to your information about getting well…

In the interview I promised to provide you a list of all the Young Living Essential Oils (both individual oils, blends and compounded products) that Kimball recommends and that you can consider using for pain relief. Here it is! Read it, use it, share it. I will be that much happier when more people get relief from pain.

Dear One,

*And come back to visit me here at the Health Matters Show blog and podcast as often as you can.

Thanks, Cinda Crawford

No matter whether you’re toughing it out alone with Fibromyalgia, you’re in a support group with others, chatting in a forum or working with a group with more national exposure like FAME or the National Fibromyalgia Association, know that your life, health and attitude make a huge difference.

I made only a very small contribution to the cause this year to honor Fibromyalgia Awareness Day. I hope to do more in the coming years. Please enjoy the following video that shows the success and hope of so many people!

You can make a difference,
Cinda Crawford (host of the Health Matters Show)
