Overcoming Autoimmune: NHWarriors, #5

By Tirzah Hawkins

Are you ready to learn how to stop one of the biggest causes of inflammation and immune system overload? 

Inspite of the vast array of autoimmune symptoms and diseases, the majority of them have the same root cause. My goal is to help you discover and address the cause; because when you address the cause, the symptoms go away.

This series of books is meant to help you step-by-step, at your own pace, understand the beautifully complex systems of your body, how your emotions affect your physical health, and how to begin improving your health no matter where it is currently.

This book focuses on two key nutrients that most people are either not consuming enough of or are using incorrectly: water and enzymes. 

A lack of water is a key factor in fatigue and being unable to use the energy your body is storing for you.

Digestive enzymes are vital for calming the overworked immune system but most people aren't taking the right ones. 

I pray this book meets you were you are at in your health journey and provides you with some steps forward.

Tirzah Hawkins is a Board Certified Holistic Health Practitioner with the American Association of Drugless Practitioners. She has personally overcome her own health issues including allergies (seasonal and food), anxiety, depression, chronic fatigue, and chronic pain issues.

How To Use This Series

We all have a health journey. I want to encourage you that if you do not have the health that you desire, whether or not anyone believes that your desires are possible, that you never quit seeking it.

Seek and you shall find.

This is a marathon, not a sprint. Anything worth having is worth fighting for. Are you still fighting for your health? It is worth having.

This series of books is meant to give you small tidbits of usable information in little chunks. If I taught you everything I know about autoimmune conditions all at once, it would be overwhelming. Often when we are overwhelmed, we procrastinate and do nothing.

This books are designed to help you begin doing something. Read them at your own pace. If you want to retain more of the information in them, reread them as many times as necessary. I recommend reading a book a month and allowing that information to digest. Each time you reread, you will pick up a new awareness or learn something that you did not retain the first time.

Each book builds on the information presented in the previous book. You will understand the concepts presented better if you read the books in order. If this is the first book from the series that you picked up, go ahead and read it now. Then consider getting the first book and continuing back through this one. The concepts here will make more sense with the foundation from the other books.

Awareness and knowledge are not enough to create change. We have to do something with our new information. For this purpose, each book in the series has a companion Natural Health Warriors Workbook. The number of the workbook will correspond to the Overcoming Autoimmune book it is associated with.

These workbooks are the all-important action step for you to create change in your life. Each workbook will walk you through a 30-day plan of action, except for the first one, which spans a longer length of time. You do not have to finish the first workbook before moving onto Book Two unless you desire to gradually ease into the healthy changes recommended.

Work through each workbook as many times as you would like before moving on to the next.

I would like to emphasize that I do not talk about specific diseases throughout most of this books. As you read them, I am sure that you agree with me that autoimmune diseases have the same causes. We need to learn how to calm down the immune system while preventing inflammation.

I believe that all autoimmune diseases have early warning signs that happen before someone experiences a diagnosable autoimmune disease.

If you experience ANY of these early warning symptoms, then you will benefit from these books.

Early warning symptoms of autoimmune conditions.

Please note that this is not an exhaustible list.

If you experience any digestive distress, then Book One will also be particularly helpful for you in combination with this Book Three.

Book One details the inspiring story of a real life client of mine named Rebekah as well as some common physical causes of autoimmune conditions. Book Two contains in detail my own life struggle and triumph over allergies, anxiety, depression, chronic fatigue and chronic pain as well as all the information I would review with someone if I was having a personal consultation with them.

If this book proves helpful, please consider leaving a review on any of the many sites where it is sold. Reviews and word of mouth are the best ways to help spread this information.

Life is worth living even though it may not always seem that way when we are dealing with the exhaustion of disease. Please keep seeking health and truth.

Be blessed.

Belief and Desire

Man often becomes what he believes himself to be. If I keep on saying to myself that I cannot do a certain thing, it is possible that I may end by really becoming incapable of doing it. On the contrary, if I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even if I may not have it at the beginning. -Mahatma Gandhi

I cannot stress the importance of belief enough, especially when it comes to the topic of health and healing. Without a belief that we can, we often don’t even try.

Do you believe in what you’re trying to do so much that you won’t let anything get in the way? Do you know deep down inside of you that your body has this ability to heal itself?

If you can cultivate that belief in yourself, in your body, in the process that you are working through right now, and combine it with utilizing natural health and the natural gifts (herbs) God has given us then nothing can stop you.

We need to believe so strongly, that roadblocks don’t matter. We understand that any journey will have roadblocks.

What differentiates a successful person from someone who is always unsuccessful? It’s the way that they talk to themselves. The successful people in life don’t ask themselves, Can I do this? They ask themselves, How will I do this?

It doesn’t come down to a possibility. It is a foregone fact. By the time that they have decided that they will do this, it’s just a question of how. Since it never crosses their mind that they can’t, they will eventually figure out a way.

Begin using the word will instead of can whenever you talk or think. Instead of saying, Can I do this say Will I do this? Instead of saying, I can’t do this say I won’t do this. See the difference? Using can or can’t dis-empowers you. Using the word will shows you that it is a choice.

Ask yourself deep down inside, Do I actually believe this is possible for me? If the answer is no, then that’s where your work begins.

Why don’t I believe this? Do I not have enough information? Do I not believe in my body’s innate ability to heal? Do I believe it’s possible for others and not for me? How worthy do I feel of this? Worth can be a big stumbling block for many people.

Think of the person that you love the most. How worthy is that person of all of the joy, health, abundance, and love that this world has to offer? Are you any less than them?

No!

Make a pact with yourself right now, that you will begin to learn your worth and value, that you will begin to achieve your goals, that you will let nothing stop you from doing what you believe in.

Begin asking yourself more, How will I? How will I begin to do this? Journal on that question daily. Meditate on it daily. What am I willing to go through to make this happen? What am I willing to sacrifice to make this happen? What is more important than my health?

How much of an impact on the world can I have as I am now? How much more of an impact on the world can I have if I am healthy?

Let’s explore impact because it is an integral human need to have impact. A lot of people are depressed because they don’t have a vision; they don’t have a direction; they aren’t making an impact on anyone.

What is the impact that you want to make on the world? It may be to impact your children and help them to grow up to be the most successful that they can. You may want to have an impact on the community you live in. Maybe you want to impact people you will never meet that live on the other side of the globe. Begin paying attention to what impact, what lasting legacy, what sign that you
