Water Creates Wood

Water is movement and flexibility.

Water teaches us to tend whatever is sprouting.

The Five Elements represent the movement of energy in acupuncture and acupressure healing philosophies.

Water creates Wood by nourishing Earth’s sprouting love.  Wood is everything that sprouts from Earth.  The Five Elements teaches us that everything sprouting is a gift.

Every child, every pain, every success, and every failure.  If it sprouts in your life, it’s a gift from Mother and Father.

I have not enjoyed any of my pain.  I didn’t enjoy anything about Appendicitis, until day 4.  Day 4 brought visions of my destiny, my gift to this world, and I felt the joy of enduring pain in faith.  I am open to the possibility that I was out of my mind.

My therapist suggested I get out of my head from the first day we met.  Lol.

Appendicitis forced me to be present to my pain, and nothing else for 5 days.  I slept for moments of time, or maybe I was unconscious, because it didn’t feel possible to sleep with that intensity of pain.

Feeling my pain that intensely and giving it over to faith, gave me a gift.  A mission to accomplish, perhaps my life’s purpose.

And a question.  How much do we miss out on by avoiding pain?

When Mother and Father gifted me Scleroderma, a disease that real doctor’s mournfully report as a death sentence, I loved their gift.  Willingly.scleroderma

There were moments that the pain was so intense, that I braced for it’s power.  I can’t say that I enjoyed those moments, but I loved them.

Scleroderma is an autoimmune disease that attacks collagen.  Collagen is the softness of our physical bodies.  Death comes when this disease crawls up your arm and hardens your heart.

How can you NOT love that?  Lol.

Yeah, it sounds grim from the medical perspective, but I have faith in Mother’s medicine, and Father’s gifts.  Father places exactly what we need right in front of us, and my gift was an incurable disease.  Momma is the healer of our most painful lessons.

Once I achieved the flexibility to receive the lesson, I just leaned on Momma heavily.  I probably doubled the amount of medicines I had used for a sinus infection that took a year to resolve.  And I took 10 times more Medicine than I did for Appendicitis.

Appendicitis was a “guy thing.”  A tiny bit of Mother, and a whole lotta facing pain and death.

Scleroderma was a “girl thing.”  A whole lotta Momma, and the wisdom to accept and embrace the softness of a caretaker and healer.

I call them my “origins story.”

Flowing Water Creates Wood.  Water represents the direction we choose.  Freezing in anxiety and worry sprouts nothing.  Raging in anger sprouts destruction. 

Let’s choose wisely.

I teach my most sensitive girl, Sacred Stone, that she can have anything she wants.  Without battle.  Just teach the people around you how your desire is to their benefit.  Use your Water express your championenergy to move and flex in that direction, and great things will sprout in your life!

If you’d like to choose Mother’s healing, visit our online storeI have been quite impressed.  I can personally vouch for True Yeast Relief and True Stress Resilience.  They helped me get over a year long sinus infection.

And True Allergy Relief.  It helped me get over a lifetime of allergies.

Getting over Scleroderma took avoiding gluten, and adding True GI and Lymph Cleanse, True Tissue Heal and Clear Skin, and True Vessel Care, which is for varicose veins, hemorrhoids, and Scleroderma, as it turned out.

 

 

 

Earth Creates Metal

Earth is the Harvest.  The value you get from taking care of Mother Earth and Her people.

The Five Elements represent the movement of energy in acupuncture and acupressure healing philosophies.

The Earth Element represents loving, nurturing care.  Mother Earth provides everything we need to survive and thrive.  Mothers make sure everyone’s needs are being met.  Earth organs, spleen, stomach, and pancreas, are responsible for delivering glucose and oxygen to every cell in your body.  

The Metal Element is the richness of life.  The wisdom acquired by reflecting on your results and keeping your focus on inspiration.

Earth is the soil that nurtures the plants, that nurture our bodies.  Under intense pressure, the Earth creates diamonds and other precious Metals.

The Five Elements teaches us that every form of life has Earth, the ability to nurture others, and Metal, something precious inside, found only by applying pressure toward inspiration.  

Inspiration is discovered by nurturing desire.

The Earth Energy is depressed in our culture.  The most popular TED talk ever, is “Do Schools Kill Creativity?”  Click Here to watch if you haven’t.  Fifty Million people could relate to rarely hearing “what do you want?”  And often hearing, “you’re not good enough.

I wouldn’t blame the schools.  Schools function to provide basic education to all, and specialized education to those who want to develop a particular skill.

We nurture desire by looking at the child as a Gift.  There is something precious inside, and our job is to keep this little one safe as they explore desire and find their passion.

Less “telling them what they need”, and more inquiring into what they want!

If I did that TED talk, I would name it, “Do Parents Kill Creativity?”  Dads have Earth energy, too, so if it’s true, that our children lack creativity, I’d look to the Earth Element, and our ability to meet the needs of our children as parents.

If our parenting is not offering nurturing to children, Earth creating Metal, I’d look at Fire, because Fire creates a warm and loving Earth.

Fire is heart’s desire.

Are parents chasing dreams, their heart’s desire?  Most of the parents I meet are fighting for survival and healing.  I’m a doctor of something, so people come to me for healing.  Most couldn’t find healing for years, and it broke their bank, trying to find feeling ok or good.

When I met my co-parent, our sprouting friendship and interest brought her to my clinic.  She had headaches almost daily, and a couple per month knocked her on her butt.  She thought of me when she was the most desperate for relief.  Tears filled her eyes from the pain.

That was 15 years ago.  I knew something was different about me, but the only word I had learned to describe it was A-Hole.  Now I call that difference “softness” or sensitivity.

Fifteen years later, tears fill my eyes when I think about feeling her pain that day.  I did my best and her pain went away or at least much better.  My Co-Parent didn’t get the best of me, she met me when I was just practicing.

She didn’t get the softness I accepted, only by the pressure of God.

God gifted me a disease called Scleroderma.  It’s an autoimmune disease that attacks collagen.  Collagen is the soft squishy part of us that softens our cheek bones, and makes full, kissable lips.

Some people get collagen injections for the wrinkles of frowning, and to add fullness to pursed lips.

Scleroderma is considered an incurable disease that is fatal 40% of the time, when it attacks the collagen of the heart, literally hardening the heart.  Death occurs when the hardened heart can’t get oxygen to the brain.

If you can’t see the symbolism in that condition, you are literally trying NOT to see symbolism!  Lol.  I took plenty of Momma’s medicine to find my healing trend, but I also had to accept the softness in me.  Click Here to read the story.  

I realized that God had made me a Caretaker…a healer.  And God had made me a Man, and the softness is my Gift.

Man is the warrior.  The protector.  Man needs to protect Momma and give her what she wants and needs, so Momma can nurture the preciousness in our little people. 

I wasn’t great in my role as a Man!  Literally!  Just a few years ago, our family car was repo’ed.  That’s a fun night!  When I felt the Gift in me, I softened and created Care Without Expectation.  Working for appreciation, like a woman, but in the work that brings home the bacon.

I tried to offset the loss of income with an online store, and we “trimmed the fat” a bit, but after 6 months of my new “business model” we are in a better place financially than I’ve been since having an investor backing our clinic 14 years ago!

After I had been pressured into accepting my Gift with a threat of death, I have not worried or fretted over failure.  I just followed my soft heart, and it seems to be working.  The more warmth and love I give away, the more secure I feel.

I had to act like a woman.

God is hilarious!  The puzzles He places along our journey to the Gift.

And Mommas, tell your Warriors what you want, without telling them they are jerks for not knowing.  It took facing death for me to accept my softness, and understand what softness needs.  I promise you, they just don’t know.

I also promise you, your Warrior will bleed for you.

Wood Controls Earth

Wood is the structure of life.  Our boundaries and steps we take toward expansion.

The Five Elements symbolize the movement of energy in acupuncture and acupressure healing practices.

The Wood Element represents everything sprouting from the Earth.  The Earth Element represents the harvest.  The Bible says “You reap what you sow.”  The Five Elements, which was conceived before the Bible, says “Wood controls Earth.

Water creates Wood In life, our Water Energy is our Choice of Direction.  What actions do you take, or not take.  In our culture, Water is represented by the leader and the voice of the Greater Good.  The archetypes that symbolize Water energy are the Ruler and the Innocent.

acupuncture

The Ruler is the masculine, or Yang energy, and the Innocent is the feminine, or Yin energy.

The Ruler creates boundaries (laws) to protect the innocent, and the Innocent protects the Ruler with guiding Values and Principles.

acupuncture
When the Innocent has equal pull on the reins, everyone is cared for.

acupunctureMy daughter Savannah asked me in Whole Foods, while looking around at it’s Big-Ness, “I can’t believe there are people starving to death in our world…who’s in charge?”  I laughed a small, uncomfortable laugh, and explained, “A man who could probably feed them all.

If  “the Donald” were guided by the Values and Principles of the Innocent.

It wouldn’t have mattered which year she asked.  Our last Ruler fined me for not carrying health insurance that wouldn’t cover True Health.  Lol, his website says “We Love You Back.”  He also signed a bill that offers greater legal protection to billion dollar corporations that produce Round-Up, the OTC weed killer.

Innocent “nerd-type” researchers are investigating a strong correlation between Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease and Round-Up.

Click Here to read the whole research paper.

You can only access the summary of most studies for free.  I’ve clicked through to purchase a few papers that were of interest, and they generally run around $100!   This one was FREE…maybe the Rulers figured nobody would listen to these dorks anyway.  Lol.

Water creates Wood and Wood controls Earth.

The lack of Wood, sprouting growth, leaves Earth a desert.  Sand blowing out of control.  Too much Wood leaves overgrown, with weeds choking out the gentle blossoms and the nourishing plants that we call our food.

How appropriate.  I call the people who trample (hurt, harm, or deceive) the innocent for profit, “hard dicks.”  With apologies for the harshness of those words. I didn’t invent words, I learned them just like you, and I was also taught another slang for erection was Wood.

What would you call the trampling of True Health?

Our Actions determines what Sprouts, and what Sprouts controls our Harvest.  I innocently tried to fit in, and what sprouted again and again was my termination as a Health Insurance Provider for not fitting in.

Mother Nature
The Actions that didn’t fit in and cost my family’s security…I spent too much time with patients, and… treated a medical condition.  I’m not kidding.  I helped a woman feel better than she could ever remember, and because I referred to her symptoms as Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis, when I shared her story on my website, I was terminated for treating a medical condition without a license.  

I said, “Oh, is that like a fishing license?  Do I get one at the gas station?”  Nope.

They call it medical school.  They tell you everything they know and that there is nothing else to know.  “We only look cool, if everyone stick to the same story.”  It goes like this…  “I’m sorry, you have a ‘named’ disease.  We don’t know what causes it, it’s all so complicated, with genes and all, and you’ve put on some weight, plus you’re definitely getting older, so anywaythis can reduce the burning, but might cause more drooping.  Its the best way, and nothing else works better.  Oh yeah, you’ll have to take it for the rest of your life.

Medicine claimed her, and insisted she take Synthroid for the rest of her life.  Synthroid made her feel worse, so she went back to the Doctor.  He told her she must be wrong, “this is the only play in our playbook.”

She spent 10 years searching, before she found True Health.  She had no money left, and very little life.  That was 10 years before I converted True Health Clinic into Care Without Expectation, but I gave her my best for whatever she could exchangeMy best achieved better than she had ever felt in her life, at age 69.

She didn’t have the Health Insurance that terminated me for telling her story.  she had the one that terminated me for spending too much time with patients.  I gave this woman her life back, and my reward was termination from my last Insurance Company.  I was done.  Out.

Maybe you don’t fully appreciate the pull that Health Insurance has on the reins of healing.  Health Insurance controls the income of Doctors.  If they don’t follow Insurance Guidelines, their security can be terminated.

Health Insurance is For Profit. Denying care increases their profit.  It looks like they are doing pretty well…how are you doing?

Terminating Doctors who don’t follow their guidelines didn’t feel like a Profit thing.  It was just blind clinging to control.  Boundaries that mean more than people, and more than facts.  The first infraction I refer to as spending too much time with patients, was flagged as “billed average per visit.”  The amount I billed per visit was higher than average.  I pointed to line 5.  This one says, “billed per client/diagnosis.”  How much did I bill to resolve a patients problem or diagnosis, and over a lifetime.  “My number is way lower than average.”

Unless I don’t understand math, that wasn’t about profit, it was about control.

The man who terminated me from the next Insurance Company claimed he read my Melissa Beats Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis story.  He didn’t care that it was a happy story, he had to uphold the rules.  I was out.

After that, every person who wanted help, I had to describe a $2000-5000 hurdle to get over to receive my care.  Some would say, it doesn’t matter what it costs.  Many more said, I can’t afford it.”  Often followed by, “I pay so much for health insurance.”  Over the next four years, I watched security crumble with five children.  Not once but twice, we watched our transportation, our family vehicle, repossessed because I didn’t have the money to pay.

I was hopeful that healing people would pay better.  Lol

I hired consultants that claimed to have million dollar CASH practices.  They said something to the effect that “these people are desperate, just name your price and they will pay it.”  “If they don’t pay, you don’t see your self worth.  See it as bigger and bigger.”

Maybe I just wasn’t a dick!?

I would never fit in the mainstream, because I have helped so many people with “medical conditions” find freedom from pharmaceuticals and “Medical conditions.”  And I tell all the stories.  Click on Conditions, and find your condition.  If there isn’t a healing story already there, come to True Health, and we’ll make one.

I would never fit in with manly functional medicine million dollar doctors, either.  I’m a MTHFing Lady.  I give first, and trust that I am enough of a woman that you will show appreciation, and I make sure nobody is left behind.

Wood is representative within us as the Liver and Gall Bladder.

True Health offers the healing and detoxifying of Mother Nature for Wood organs in our online storeTrue Detox cares for Wood, and True Heavy Metal Detox cleans up the mess of hard dicks.  Lol.  That makes literal sense if you read the story of leaded gasoline.

True Health is my next best step to bring Value and Principle to our Rulers, and heal the Innocent.

Metal Creates Water

Metal is the richness of life.  The rubies and diamonds, and the minerals that hold us together.

The Five Elements represent the movement of energy in acupuncture and acupressure healing philosophies.

The Metal Element represents “Reflection.”  It represents the letting go of what doesn’t serve us, and looking forward toward inspiration.   Metal represents the hardness of the stone that holds Water in it’s arms, so we can drill for Water with Metal to aid our survival.

Several years ago, my family purchased a loan, I mean a home.  The county inspector said our well Water passed inspection.  Our Water turned the toilets brownish-orange.  I tested it through one of our labs and our Water had dangerous levels of heavy metals and bacteria.

I ordered a water filtration system for the house.  Out of my own pocket, because law said there was nothing wrong with my Water, so I had no recourse.  The packages arrived…big barrels and big bags.

I recreated Mother Nature in the barrels.  The bags contained various minerals that I had to pour layer by layer, into the barrels.  That is how profit creates water.  First you save money on the well by not digging deep.  Then, with no protection from the law, I have to buy Mother Earth to run my water through, so it is safe for my family.

I would guess that the builder rationalized that the law says “good enough.”  “Why spend more for doing the right thing, when I can profit more.”  By Law.

The water filtration business offered a solution to my pain.  I am thankful for their help, so their profit doesn’t feel hard to me.  They were helping What Matters Most to me, my people.

The Metal energy in our culture is confused.

Metal knows that people are our greatest resource, and you profit the most by taking good care, regardless of the price.

Profit believes that wealth is the most important resource, even at the cost of people.   

The Metal Element represents what matters most.  It teaches us to find security by Loving others, and contributing to your loves.  That is the path to significance and receiving love.  Water represents movement and our choice of direction.  Metal teaches that profit over people will lead to destruction, and needs to be stopped.

The Five Elements suggests that “Profit over People” should get a spanking and be sent to bed without dinner.

When a culture is led by “profit over people,” the rich hoard the wealth, and the people fight for the scraps.  One of the scraps we fight for is Approval.  Do you think Wealthy White Men care about your approval?  Nah, they know that as long as you fear for survival, you will do whatever they say.

Metal teaches that Approval is what matters least.

Metal teaches that if you focus your attention on what someone else wants, you lose your heart.  It says that if you trust your heart desire, you will give everyone what they want, an amazing youa Gift to Your People.

If you focus your attention on Approval, you will fear the next step on your path.

If you focus on Heart Desire, you might pause for reflection, but you will confidently take the next step…because it will feel right.  

The Metal Element represents thankfulness for our Mother and Father.  The Mother that cares for everyone.  And the Father that protects everyone.

Metal is confusedwhy would anyone worship profit?

The hard harshness of this world, like polluting our water for profit, cutting corners for profit, and healers prescribing medicine that does harm, for profit, is trying to remind us What Matters Most.  Metal suggests you take a moment to reflect on that.

True Health shares the healing of our Mother, created by our Father, and birthed by Mother Nature…Plant Medicines…in our online store.   But only if that feels right to you. 

If you buy two of any of Momma’s medicine… Allergy, Pain, PMS, Menopause…you get free shipping.  And if you don’t LOVE Momma, return the second bottle unopened and I will refund your entire purchase.  Scroll through, I bet you will find the caring you need for your hurt.

Yes, I’ll bet on Momma, all in…and I think Keeping Our Word is What Matters Most, because it holds our people together.  I will do everything in my Power to keep my Word.
