Choose to rest

Emotional
/
Andrea Thompson

Rest.  

The word alone brings up thoughts of luxurious vacations filled with trips to the spa and lounging by a pool!  I admit, I would never turn down such a vacation!  

However, I can’t help but ask myself why rest is now considered a luxury as opposed to what it really is: a necessity.

We all know the story of creation.  God created the world in six days and on the seventh day, He rested.  

What I find interesting is that after God created man on the sixth day, he didn’t immediately put them to work.  No, instead he made them rest. Humanities first day of existence was a day of rest!  I believe that there is a powerful message that God was trying to send to us. 

We are unable to function to our fullest unless we are well-rested.  

I want to clarify that rest and laziness are not the same thing.  

There are many people who are lazy and find themselves slouched in front of a television set as soon as they get off work.  They aren’t resting, but instead they are numbing.  

Rest consists of something that helps rejuvenate your soul and feeds your spirit.    

It could be anything from setting time aside to journal, painting, reading, taking a long walk, or even getting caught up on some much-needed sleep.  

Rest in itself is an act of worship because it is surrender.  We are surrendering to God and laying our lives before Him.  It is an act of trust when we set aside everything we know to do and place it before God.   

I want to encourage you today to make plans for rest.  Contrary to popular opinion, rest is not for the weak, but it is for the strong.

Choose to be strong. Choose to rest.

    I never realized that rest was an act of worship. that is good to know. I am currently going through chemotherapy treatment There are times that I am just so exhausted and feel bad for sleeping so much. I understand my body is healing while I rest and sleep but sometimes I feel like I miss out on too much for sleeping and resting.

FOLLOW UP

Your blood changes about every 4 months in response to your environment, diet, emotions, travel etc. so following up with Dr. Hilu is important.

When he will need to reanalyze your blood will depend on his findings and the protocol you receive. He will not ask you to retest before 4 months and may recommend a follow up in 6, 8 or even 12 months.

Following up is a crucial part of the process since it is how Dr. Hilu and his team track your progress and update your protocol accordingly.

The last page of your results will include when to retest but you will also receive an email reminder. You will then order a follow up kit the same way as your first test.

Your follow up results will include:

  • The percentage of improvement in the areas listed in your first results
  • Any new findings that need to be addressed
  • An updated treatment plan/protocol

SUPPORT

Once Dr. Hilu analyzes your blood, you will be considered one of his patients and the clinic will be available to answer any questions you may have.

Our team of Personal Health Instructors are also available for hire if you feel it would be beneficial for you to speak with a health coach. Your Personal Health Instructor can help interpret your cellular analysis results and provide answers and tools to help you implement your protocol.

This includes:

  • Going through your results one line item at a time explaining Dr. Hilu’s findings. Helping to identify a theme in Dr. Hilu’s findings and highlight some potential root causes (dietary, stress, physical exercise etc).
  • Providing practical recommendations of changes  you can make in your everyday routine that support the protocol and its effectiveness. Without making these lifestyle changes, the supplements will only be so effective.
  • Thoroughly explaining Dr. Hilu’s recommendations and treatment plan and simplifying what your daily routine will look like.
  • Spending as much time as you are willing to address some of the emotional stressors that could be hindering healing and supporting you with tools that you can use to alleviate them.
  • A thorough follow up email after your consultation with all of the links to the suggested supplements (it is very important to use high quality and ethically sourced supplements), PDF food/recipe recommendations and other recommendations that are specific to you.

You can learn more about consultations here

TREATMENT PLAN

Your treatment plan will include a list of specific supplements you should purchase along with instructions on how to take each product and for how long.

Other potential recommended treatments may include:

  • Therapies
  • Detoxes
  • Cleanses
  • In more severe cases, receiving on-site treatment at Dr. Hilu’s clinic in Marbella, Spain

RECOMMENDATIONS

Under “Recommendations” in your results, Dr. Hilu and his team will list lifestyle changes you should make in order to maximize the effectiveness of your treatment plan.

It is crucial to address every area in order to see the results you are looking for.

Some examples include:

  • Certain foods or food groups to avoid or minimize
  • Specific foods to add to your diet
  • Detox suggestions
  • Tips to address eating habits
  • Potential sensitivities to avoid/address (nickel, emf, humidity, toxins, etc.)
  • Exercise suggestions if applicable
  • Tips to improve mental/emotional health
  • Tips to address environmental factors
  • Dental suggestions if applicable
  • Tips for reducing stress and stressors

And much more according to Dr. Hilu’s findings…

Dr. Hilu’s Findings

Your results will include a complete list of all the abnormalities and imbalances Dr. Hilu found in your blood (does not include numbers or levels).

It is difficult to give a list of specific details you will receive in your results since every test differs from person to person depending on what Dr. Hilu sees in their cells.

You can find a list below of some of the things that he can see:

  • Permeability of the cell
  • If oxygen is getting into the cells
  • Every organ and organ system in the body
  • Vitamin deficiency or if a person is producing too much and not eliminating certain nutrients
  • Metallic and chemical toxicity
  • How cells are communicating with each other or not
  • Abnormalities or diseases with no name or origin
  • Oxidation stress which would hinder biological years
  • Imbalance of hormones but not specific levels or numbers
  • Everything about the immune system including any imbalances or infections
  • If you have food intolerances (not full panel test)
  • Joint and tissue degeneration
  • Inflammation
  • Lymphatic system/circulatory system
  • Digestion/enzyme production
  • Fats and proteins digestion
  • Vacuolization due to past or present infections (bacterial, viral, parasitic, or fungal)
