THANKS for learning with us! I established Lumigrate.com for "Lighting the Path to Health and Well-Being" because I felt SO fortunate to have found out in the year past about food allergies ... hypothyroidism ... detox and cleansing .... supplements ..... mindfulness .... And I found out the HARD WAY and was VERY sick for a long time and was SO impressed with these progressive providers I was 'lucky' enough to land in the middle of here in little ol' Grand Junction, Colorado that I thought 'why NOT make a website and put their seminars on it?' So please, take advantage! The light is here for you to grab and start shining on YOUR path! ~~Mardy
Here are links for TWO other Lumigrate.com videos I wanted to produce for the launch of Lumigrate.com and this is why I/we produced these two (that 'complement' 'Full Barrel Syndrome', or once you watch Full Barrel and have the 'aha moment' and YOU could have the sense of what resonates for you and then want direction and education in a direction, these are the likely directions for most --
One is Dr. Christopher Lepisto (naturopath)'s "Food Allergies and Sensitivities" because you can, for $20 anywhere in the world get a video AND handouts emailed to you that you can watch the full hour long video seminar and be as close to being lucky enough to be his patient as I am.... with diligence you can actually identify your allergies for $0 in testing, it's just easier if you have access to the testing (and the $400 for the testing). (And to be honest, I think it's more accurate to do elimination, it just is time consuming and takes a lot of effort and ... diligence, which is hard to do realistically).
AND for those of us who then know what we need to do with eating differently (or exercising, or stopping or starting any new 'habit') Dr. Paula King (psychologist) was kind enough to contribute her time to record 'Strategies for Lasting Change' which has a cool handwriting exercise that shows why it's so HARD to take on a new habit, and then gives us a full on 'guided imagery' exercise! Again, for $20, anyone in the world can download a video and powerpoint of what she says in the seminar. All videos are set up to not have any time limit or 'watch limit' on them... you can watch them a million times for 100 years! Show others! Maybe charge $1 admission for everyone and recoup your $20! My concept with Lumigrate.com is different: we don't have advertisers. It's like milk: you want a bottle, it's a charge for the production, and we're charging a low price ... the cost of going to a movie! And it's your HEALTH. We also hope that the public will call up, write, or email their health care providers and say 'please look at this website and download this video, as I think it describes what I might want YOUR help with.'
