Frustration With Money

Who isn't feeling the money pinch these days? I am no different. I wish we could just do away with money, and live free. I wish money wasn't such a presence in life. I know I am no different than anyone else, feeling overwhelmed by this subject. I am desperately trying to find my way in life, and I have so many people to help out financially. I have dreams and aspirations, just like most people do. I would like to do things with and for my children and husband, but it all comes down to money. I have been so focused these days, in learning how to make more money, and I have come across some really good stuff. I just need to implement what I'm learning, which is not easy for me. I am truly trying my best. Another question on my mind is: Am I just wasting my time, or am I on the right track? Who knows. I do know that I am on a journey of knowledge, and I need to go with the flow, and see where it takes me. Thanks for listening, I needed to vent my thoughts.

Sleep problems

Over the last few months, I have really paid attention to how many people out there have sleep problems. I am amazed that we can even function in a day! I personally struggled with this issue, as did my mother and my daughter as well. I don't think we give sleep the credit it's due. What happens when we lack sleep? Our bodies suffer greatly. Our immune systems are compromised, making us get sick easier, our brains can't function at their normal level, we get sleepy at the wrong times during the day, we are moody, we lack energy and motivation, it leads to obesity, or even the other side of it, anorexia. Do you think this sleep thing deserves more of our attention? I certainly do! Most of us just barely function, and chalk it up to it being just a part of life. Well let me tell you it isn't just "LIFE". There are many reasons why we don't sleep. Some of it is medical issues, some is stress related, and some of it is just the inability to get things done in normal waking hours. Some of us cannot shut our brains off at night either. I can't tell you how to overcome these things, but I can share my story and help you find a solution. First, there is my mother. She has always had trouble sleeping, and has taken many sleeping pills in her day. She had a sleep study done, and discovered she has Sleep Apnea. This of course, is a big problem for many people. This is a medically related problem. She also has stress in her life, and has difficulty shutting her brain down at night. Then there's myself. I am lucky not to have Sleep Apnea, but I do have the stress, and the overactive brain. My 10 year old daughter has this same issue. She thinks way too much at night! Thankfully we have all found a wonderful solution. We are all drinking an amazing nutritional beverage that has helped us find sleep again. We all feel terrific! It's amazing what getting proper nutrition can do for your body! Who knew it was related to sleep problems? My sleep is so much deeper than before, which is what we need. I used to be an extremely light sleeper, and would wake many times in a night. Sometimes I would "doze" which means I sort of slept, but not really. I am so happy to have found this solution, and to have helped my daughter and my mom too. I would love to hear your comments and thoughts.

My Health Story

This is a condensed version of my life. Just like most people out there, I too have a story to tell. I am a wife, and a mother of two beautiful children. My oldest child is my daughter who is 10, and my son is 6. I have sufferred from depression of varying degrees since before I had them, and I had horrible post-partum after my daughter was born. I have always struggled with my weight, since I was a child, and that didn't help matters. My son was diagnosed with Autism when he was 2 years old, and that led to a whole new world of emotions and heartaches. I am an emotional eater, always have been, so needless to say, weight is a huge issue for me. I have tried all kinds of diets and pills, and with not much success. I was constantly tired, had no motivation to try to be healthier, and I constantly complained about it. Whenever I tried to exercise, my toes would go numb, and get cramps in them, forcing me to stop, not to mention my knees ached from my Arthritis. I was living a vicious circle of things. My doctor said I had to lose weight, as I had something called Insulin Resistance. This is basically a pre-warning sign that diabetes is inevitable if I don't change. I also had high blood pressure, and sometimes would get dizzy spells, I also had trouble sleeping. I really did not know how to change. My doctor offered me antidepressants, which I tried for a while, but I don't like bandaids for my problems. I tried counselling, which gets very expensive, and really did not help me enough. What did I do? Well for a long time, nothing. I just kept hoping my problems would disappear. I did try natural supplements like St John's Wort, but it did not work for me. Finally a friend of mine introduced me to a health beverage that literally has changed my life. I have lots of energy, I am motivated, I sleep better, my aches and pains are gone, my blood sugar is regulated, my blood pressure is back to normal, I am losing weight without even trying, and I can exercise without problems now too. My husband and children have noticed the change, and are very happy about it. No more grumpy, crying, angry me to deal with. I would be happy to share more information with you if you wish to know more. My email is traceyarcari@gmail.com

So Many Acai Products, How Do I Choose The Best One?

Now here's a topic I have been struggling with for quite some time now. Not all products out there are created equal. After my extensive research, I have discovered that some products are made just to "cash in" on the "Acai craze" that is going on right now. It is difficult to determine which one's these are, but if they are sending you spam mail, you can be sure their product is not what they say it is. Then I've noticed all these Acai juices in the supermarkets now, and of course the health food stores too. If you actually look at these juices, most of them are clarified, which means most of the pulp and oils have been taken out. The thing about the Acai, is that the pulp and skin is where the nutrients are. This is the part we need to put in our bodies for FULL nutritional benefits. Another issue is that there really is very little Acai in these juices or products at all. Maybe a total of 3 or 4%. Then they add other juices to the mix. I even know about one product that says 100% Acai, but it is mostly water, and sugar. They call it 100% because there are no other fruits added. Also, the Acai berry is not a juicy berry by nature either. So in order for it to be juice, the processed berry has to mixed with something. Some of the products out there taste absolutely terrible too. The Acai itself has somewhat of a bitter taste, and some people have been turned off by this. There are also different grades of the Acai berry, just like there are different grades of coffee beans, meats, produce, etc... This fact is not well known, but it's true. Because it is very expensive to harvest and process this fruit, many companies will save money by using the lower grades. Of course they would never admit to it, but nonetheless, it is a common occurance. Then that brings me to the harvesting process itself. It is very hot and humid in the Amazon, and when the Acai Berry is harvested it immediately starts to decompose. And if the berry is not processed within 24 hours of being picked it loses almost all of its' nutritional content. Some companies pick the berry before it is ripe for these reasons. Then they can transport it easier, and then process it. The problem with this practice is, that picking any fruit too early, makes it so that the fruit has not reached its' full nutritional potential. This is a common problem with the produce we buy as consumers. Why do you think our nation is so malnourished? We don't get what we think we're getting from our food. So what do we do? Well I can't tell you what you should do, but I do know of a product that is far superior to anything you can buy in the store. This product not only has a very high grade Acai, but also is blended with other highly graded fruits that compliment each other, and allows your body to absorb the nutrients much better. Plus this beverage gives you 13 servings of fruits and vegetables every day, which I don't think many of us get. This product is backed by science and literature, and has a patent pending harvesting process, which allows the nutrition to remain in the berry. They pick it ripe and process it right there with facilities they have bulit in Brazil. This product was 10 years in the making because the company wanted it to be the perfect nutrional food. It is just that. It has everything your body needs to be healthy, heal itself, fight illness and disease, and prevent you from ever getting the serious diseases out there. It gives you energy, helps you sleep, improves your mood, helps you look younger, improves memory, and much more. Who doesn't want all that? This is the only health product anyone needs, no more popping pills and supplements. Want more information? I would be more than happy to help you with that.

It's only money.

I have noticed that many people have different opinions about what they should and shouldn't spend their money on. For instance, I think health is something we all need to be investing our money in. Why? Well, it' simple really. If you have lots of money, but your health is poor, you won't be able to enjoy that money. If you know your body could be healthier, and you go and spend your last dollars on things like eating out, movie night, lattes, cigarettes, more clothes you don't need, or any other unneccessary items, then you are obviously not seeing the bigger picture. We are nothing without good health and well being. Who out there would rather get the best health they can? I know I do. I have found a way to be very healthy for the cost of a latte per day(the good kind). If I add up the cost it takes for me to buy a bunch of vitamins, and the cost of good quality produce, it is very expensive! And most of what we pay for is barely used by our bodies because of chemicals and over production. For example, a peach from the 1950's, has the nutritional value of 55 peaches today. That is outrageous! The vitamin industry makes a killing on us suckers who choose to buy their products. We are lucky if they dissolve in our stomaches at all, and if they do, we might only absorb 7% of them in our body. Then we go buy more, thinking that maybe the next batch will show us some results. Well why waste your money on stuff your body doesn't use, or just eliminates all together? I will let you in on a little secret, you don't have to waste that money anymore. There is hope. I know first hand the difference this health juice has made for myself, and my entire family. It truly is a gift from God, and he has meant for us to find it and use it to become disease free. This is not just a bunch of hype either. I know there are many products out there, I have tried almost all of them. This one is by far, the most superior, and complete nutritional product out there today. Invest in your health, before you lose it all together, and then nothing matters anymore anyway.

Autism can be healed.

I have a son with Autism, or more specificly, PDDNOS. I have always believed he was born a normal boy, and things changed after immunizations. Of course I have no proof, just my word, and my observations. I have recently read books by Jenny McCarthy about the subject, and how she healed her son. In her second book, "Mother Warriors" there are stories of other parents who have healed their children as well. My eyes were opened to this new way of believing. I always knew something could be done, because I had already done things on my own to help heal my son. I have been a frequent visitor on this web site http://www.talkaboutcuringautism.org/ . There is tons of great information there about healing. Nutrition and supplementing is very important for these children, yet, a vast majority don't get what they need. There is a wide range of healing methods out there, and I encourage anyone who is wanting to get involved to go see a special doctor, called a DAN doctor. (Defeat Autism Now) Jenny McCarthy mentions a product that is very popular for nutritional supplementation called Mona Vie Original. This is by far the best way to get nutrition into anyone with just 2 shots(drinks) per day. This way, all the nutrients required are given at the same time, and no other supplements are needed. It is extremely convenient for everyone to use, and it tastes great! This juice provides the equivalent of 7-13 servings of fruit and vegetables per day. How many of you actually get your recommended servings? If you would like more information about any of this information please email me. traceyarcari@gmail.com
Believe me when I tell you, that we are very capable of healing many diseases, and ailments. All we need to do is look for it, and be willing and open minded enough to try. We don't have to be sick, we can choose to get better.

Health: does it really matter to you?

I am finding that I am really concerned about health these days. There has been a lot of death in our family, and it almost all is due to diseases. My biggest burden is the thought of cancer. The statistics show now, that 1 in 2 people are likely to get some form of cancer in their life. That is down right scary! Other diseases on my mind these days are heart disease, diabetes, and Alzheimer's. I have personally dealt with all of these in the past two years, and let me tell you, I am afraid. I know we can't go through our life afraid of everything, but I have been on a mission to find out how to prevent these things from happening to me and my family. I have done a ton of research, and have come to the conclusion, that our doctor's are not the one's we should be asking for help on this subject. They all say there really is nothing we can do, other than exercise, and eat right. Well, I happen to know that this isn't always the case. I know many people who died anyway, or got sick, even though they were/are very healthy, or at least that's what we all thought. The problem is that our food is so nutritionally depleted, that we are not getting what we think we're getting from our food. I was taking lots of supplements too, but we are lucky if we actually absorb 7% of what is in these supplements. Some supplements don't even dissolve at all, and are eliminated the same as when they were ingested. So what? Well, if we aren't getting the proper nutrition, then how can we possibly fight off disease and illness? I am happy to say that I have found a solution to this dilema. I have come across in my research, a health beverage that is the perfect balance of nutrition. It by far out surpasses any other product I've tried. It is backed by doctors and scientists, and has been researched heavily. I know it is the most powerful prevention out there, and I am very blessed to have found it, or actually, it found me. What is this product? I cannot actually tell you here, as I may get in to trouble. As most of you know, any health product that is not a proven drug, cannot make any claims. If you would like to know more about this product, please send me an email, and I would be glad to educate you on it. Here is my email: traceyarcari@gmail.com Thank you for reading my very first blog.
