    Introduction:

    Vera Boss is a mom of four. She has been suffering from chronic pain, digestive issues and brain fog for many years now.  She is frustrated with western medicine because none of the treatments and medications have helped her.  She has seen a vicious cycle of new prescriptions and side effects. Her symptoms progressively got worse after each child. Her youngest is now 1 year old and she is so exhausted she just feels like she is not able to keep up with her.  Her digestive issues and bloating have become severe and now it happens 3-5 times a week.  Her headaches are also getting worse.  She is desperate to find a natural alternative.

    Discussion

    A multitude of diseases (200+) are linked to oxidative stress and inflammation.  Oxidative stress is an imbalance between antioxidants and Free radicals.  Patients with weight gain and inability to lose weight have high levels of free radicals in the body.  They cause damage to the body on a daily basis.  The body has poor capability of creating antioxidants like glutathione, catalase and SOD.  These antioxidants are the only way to fight free radicals, so as they decline illness, disease and decline progressively continues through life.  By enabling the body to produce antioxidants and remove toxins, they client will reduce inflammation, bloating and fat build up to promote weight loss.  Lupus, digestive issues and chronic pain are all impacted by the increased inflammation throughout the body.  It is essential to provide the body with nutrients that will help it fight back on a daily basis.

    Nutritional Support for Children

    Author Diane Vich Posted on

    There are plenty of foods and nutrients around us. These powerful foods and compounds directly impact the health of children at a genetic level. I know, I thought it was impossible too, I’m a nurse, we are skeptical by nature. It took me 5 months of suffering before I gave in. What was I waiting for? I was living in severe pain and constant exhaustion daily. Even though I had started eating tons more fruits and veggies than before, but there was not much difference in my health. Food, just was not enough, my body was aging every second! As, I look back at my symptoms and those of my mom, I truly see my aging and disease process. All my health issues started in my childhood and poor diet filled with junk food was the reason.  My mom’s recent surgery and severe symptoms that reemerged reminded me of all the health issues I had during my childhood. (See My Mom for story)  Reflection helped me realize the severity of my illness since childhood. I had stomach pain, constipation, migraines, chronic arm pain during my childhood.  It progressed and worsened throughout my life until 2017 when I truly made a change to impact my genes.  I was in constant BRAIN FOG, every single day. I wrote notes but couldn’t focus enough to prioritize my 2 jobs. I’m a registered nurse by day and holistic health coach by night. (My day job – teaching parents about viral illness, medications and follow up). By NIGHT advocating for true health prevention for children.

    Brain Disorders and Oxidative Stress

    Author Diane Vich Posted on

    My desire to help children has always been my priority throughout my career.  I began helping children as a Special Education teacher and progressed into Nursing.  My curiosity and interest in identifying the causes of brain disorders, developmental delays, autism and seizures in children has been ongoing.  This knowledge and expertise has flourished through my career in the healthcare and educational spheres.  My personal experiences with learning disability, attention problems and chronic health issues made me search for the link between these conditions.  My own healing process has helped me realize the connection between chronic illness and brain disorders is real.  Over the years, I have researched to determine the common factor in all of these conditions.  It took me years of research and personal healing to identify the common factor.  The common factor in all brain disorders, chronic illness and disease is oxidative stress.  Oxidative stress is an imbalance between free radicals and our antioxidant defenses.  This causes an accumulation of free radicals in the body that provoke tissue damage which leads to illness and disease.   Everyone has their own genetic differences and weaknesses.  As the damage in the cells continues to progress, the bodies genes are altered causing bad genes to turned on, leading to illness and disease.  In my case, free radicals were related to severe food allergies.  The attack on my body was constant with processed foods and damage my body significantly throughout my childhood and adult life.  My food allergies changed from hives to an internal damage throughout my body that eventually turned into autoimmune disease.  Throughout my childhood and adult life my diet was filled with corn and gluten filled products that wrecked havoc on my digestive tract and body.  This damage impacted my memory, attention, digestion and many more aspects of my health.  Now, that I am through the detox and healing phase, I realize the true impact of free radical damage throughout my life.  I am more energetic, happy, active and healthy than ever before.  My memory, attention, chronic pain, digestion and sleep have improved.  Now, I am sharing my store to help prevent these health issues in children before their adult lives.  My burning desire is to stop the struggle with pain, symptoms and disease by impacting the body with unique nutrients and diet to heal the body naturally.

    Now that you understand the true impact of free radicals on the body, let’s talk about brain disorders and oxidative stress.  The research shows that children with epilepsy, autism, ADHD, Cerebral Palsy have high oxidative stress.  Oxidative stress impacts their bodies by impacting brain function, memory, attention and seizures.  These are only a few of the possible symptoms associated with oxidative stress and free radical damage.   Free radicals and oxidative stress continue to increase as we age.  This damage multiplies and builds in children with these conditions increasing their symptoms and health issues as they age.   These children have low antioxidants in their bodies, which makes it impossible for the body to fight the damage and repair itself.   Indirect antioxidants are the only effective way to fight free radical damage and oxidative stress.  These indirect antioxidants are created by the body to protect itself but children with oxidative stress are not producing enough to repair the accumulating damage.  The only way to stimulate the body to produce them is by activating the Nrf2 pathway.  In healthy adults, these indirect antioxidants stop being produced after 20 years of age.  So, if children with disease are already low, damage is multiplying and they are aging, the oxidative stress is growing rapidly.  Let’s make it simple, think of children like a bright light bulb.  They were born full of energy and the light bulb was burning strong.  As they age, symptoms started to arise and the light began to dim.  As the light dims, free radical damage increases and the light progressively dims.   Some children have so much stress that the light dims much faster.  So what does that mean, children and adults with these conditions need nutrient-rich supplements to enhance their bodies defenses.  Nutrients and diet are essential in maintaining the appropriate balance of elements in the body to heal and repair itself.  The key to healing is nutrigenomics – the science of using nutrient-rich supplements to impact genetics.   These unique elements activate bodies ability to heal and detoxify itself naturally. I am here to guide you through the process.  Schedule a Free Consultation to develop a plan for you or your child.

    Tribute to Miami-Dade and Monroe Counties Family Friendly Hands

    Author Diane Vich Posted on

    I am very grateful to God for reuniting me with the Mother of one of my Special Education Students again.  I was able to reunite with the mother of Robert Alfonso Murguia Clark. Alfonso is known well and loved by many.  I remember him as my student and the seizures he used to experience in school and the visits to the school nurse.  I also cared for Alfonso during seizure episodes as a bedside nurse many years ago in the Pediatric Emergency Room. I love the passion and compassion Elsa Murguia Clark has shown toward other families in need of assistance with their special needs child.  She is doing a fantastic job educating and helping families obtain resources for their children experiencing medical and educational necessities for their children.   Over my career as a special educator, nurse and nurse educator I have researched and learned the impact of stress and disease on children and adults impacting their health and development.  I started my journey with a yearning to find the causing factor of all these developmental delays and their relationship with medical diagnosis.  I was a child with learning disabilities, attention issues and many chronic health issues.  I grew to become an adult with memory and chronic health issues.  Through, my research I found the common factor in developmental delays, illness and disease to be oxidative stress and inflammation in the body.  I began using a product with 23 Published studies on the benefits of reducing this inflammation and stress in the body naturally.  I can’t claim that this is a cure, treat, mitigate or prevent disease but I can tell you the root cause of disease is oxidative stress. I have seen it benefit a variety of clients with attention disorders, autism, epilepsy, diabetes, cancer, fibromyalgia to name a few.  I began using the product little yellow pill myself 1 year ago and found a reduction in pain, inflammation and digestive issue. I also found some interesting improvements in memory, focus, attention, depression and anxiety.  This brought me to the realization that I needed to spread the word, so that others can make the decision for themselves and their families. Thank you for the opportunity to share the product that changed my life.  I once again thank Elsa for helping so many families in need to Access services for their children.  She is creating a wonderful support community.

    Homenaje de Miami-Dade y Monroe Condados – Family Friendly Hands

    Estoy muy agradecido con Dios por reunirme nuevamente con la Madre de uno de mis Estudiantes de Educación Especial. Pude reunirme con la madre de Robert Alfonso Murguia Clark. Alfonso es conocido y querido por muchos. Lo recuerdo como mi alumno y las convulsiones que solía experimentar en la escuela y las visitas a la enfermera de la escuela. También me preocupé por Alfonso durante los episodios de convulsiones como enfermera de cabecera hace muchos años en la sala de emergencias pediátricas. Me encanta la pasión y la compasión que Elsa Murguia Clark ha demostrado hacia otras familias que necesitan ayuda con su hijo con necesidades especiales. Ella está haciendo un trabajo fantástico educando y ayudando a las familias a obtener recursos para que sus hijos experimenten necesidades médicas y educativas para sus hijos. A lo largo de mi carrera como educadora especial, enfermera y educadora de enfermería, he investigado y aprendido el impacto del estrés y la enfermedad en niños y adultos que afectan su salud y desarrollo. Comencé mi viaje con un anhelo de encontrar el factor causante de todos estos retrasos en el desarrollo y su relación con el diagnóstico médico. Yo era un niño con problemas de aprendizaje, problemas de atención y muchos problemas crónicos de salud. Crecí para convertirme en un adulto con problemas de memoria y de salud crónica. A través de mi investigación, encontré que el factor común en los retrasos en el desarrollo, la enfermedad y la enfermedad es el estrés oxidativo y la inflamación en el cuerpo. Comencé a usar un producto con 23 estudios publicados sobre los beneficios de reducir esta inflamación y estrés en el cuerpo de forma natural. He visto que beneficia a una variedad de clientes con trastornos de atención, autismo, epilepsia, diabetes, cáncer, fibromialgia, por nombrar algunos.  No puedo afirmar que esto es una cura, tratar, mitigar o prevenir una enfermedad, pero puedo decirle que la raíz de la enfermedad es el estrés oxidativo.  Empecé a usar el producto una pequeña pastilla amarilla hace 1 año y encontré una reducción en el dolor, la inflamación y el problema digestivo.  También encontré algunas mejoras interesantes en la memoria, el enfoque, la atención, la depresión y la ansiedad. Esto me llevó a darme cuenta de que necesitaba difundir el mensaje para que otros pudieran tomar la decisión por sí mismos y por sus familias.  Gracias por la oportunidad de hablar sobre el producto que me cambio la vida. Una vez más, agradezco a Elsa por ayudar a tantas familias necesitadas a acceder a servicios para sus hijos. Ella está creando una maravillosa comunidad.

    Author Diane Vich Posted on

    My desire to help children with Autism and developmental delays has been a lifelong endeavor.  As an adult with Learning Disabilities, it was my goal to help these children achieve their dreams.

    I began my journey helping children with disabilities in my undergraduate education as the Web Designer and treasurer in am Exceptional Student Education program at FIU.  My first degree was an Exceptional Student Educator which I obtained under from FIU with full scholarships and graduated with Honors.  I was a Pre-K special education teacher at Blue Lakes Elementary for 2 years in a class with children with a variety of developmental delays.  After my experience with children with disabilities my desire to understand the medical implications of this population began to grow.  I changed my career once again and became a developmental specialist/  As a developmental specialist, I evaluated children with developmental delays from birth to 5 years of age to determine delays and enable placement in supportive therapies.  These therapies were essential for families to enhance the child’s development by providing key developmental guidance by physical therapy, speech therapy, teachers and occupational therapies.  Over the years,  my passion to learn the impact medical diagnosis and health issues for these children continued to grow.

    Parallel to my career journey my family was going through similar struggles with some of my cherished loved ones.  It is not my place to share the details but their journey truly hit home in my heart. My career then took a new turn, to nursing.  Nursing was always a passion of mine and pediatrics has always been my desired patient population.  I finally, decided to take the leap and leave my career as a Developmental Specialist to become a Registered Nurse.  I began my journey at Baptist Hospital with Miami Dade College.  I received a full scholarship to fund my career endeavor and a great organization to work for.  I began as a nursing assistant traveling the hospital and working with a variety of patients as my education progressed.  My passion for pediatrics continued to flourish and I knew this was my home.  Finally, the end of my nursing degree arrived and I was hired by the Pediatric Emergency Room at Baptist Children’s Hospital.  I was finally, on my way to understanding the connection between medical diagnosis and developmental delays.  Little did I know, my own health journey would further impact my understanding of my own developmental delay and memory issues.  After several years as a nurse,  I came across many children with developmental delays combined with chronic medical issues.

    My curiosity and learning continued to grow and flourish.  At this point, I decided to return to school and obtain my Master’s Nurse Educator degree from Nova Southeastern University.  Once again, I obtained a full scholarship from Baptist Health to continue my learning and career endeavors.  As my education progressed, my health began to decline.  My memory, pain and anxiety began to multiply and impact my work and home life.  I began to visit doctors more frequently and emergency visits on a regular basis.  My desire to help children had to be placed on the back burner until i overcame my personal health issues.  At this point, I began my health journey in 2013 to improve my energy, memory, anxiety and pain.

    I became a priority again in my life and it was a necessary obstacle to become the woman I am today.  I learned so much from my health journey.  I realized the significant impact my nutrition had on my memory, energy and focus.  I became aware of the impact yoga and regular exercise had on my physical health, pain, stress and circulation.  Finally, in 2017 the little yellow pill helped me complete the circle of health and wellness.  I can’t claim that this is a cure, treat, mitigate or prevent disease but I can tell you the root cause of disease is oxidative stress. I can tell you that treating oxidative stress is the only way to get to the root cause of disease and illness.  At the time, I had no idea the potential this product would have on children with developmental delays and autism.  As my healing began to progress, my memory, learning and focus began to improve and I was able to remember many things that just would slip my long-term memory before.  Throughout my childhood and college years my friends would tell me stories about my young life and I could not remember anything.  Sometimes even looking at pictures, I would still draw a blank and not remember the events of my youth.  Little by little, my memory started to improve and I would make connections between my health struggles and my childhood allergies/diet.  The fact was that as a child I was highly allergic to everything, I would always have hives or rashes and my parents took me to take shots on a regular basis.  At the time, my parents didn’t understand the impact processed foods and poor diet was having on my health and development.  I continued to eat junk, high sugar processed snacks and tons of corn products.  I was unaware that these foods were creating inflammation in my body and impacting my memory, pain and development.  Now, I know the true impact because I have learned to understand my body, my symptoms and the impact various foods had on me.

    My specific symptoms with toxic foods for my body:

    Corn and Corn syrup – brain fog, memory issues, fatigue, body pain, IBS and headaches

    Gluten- body pain, migraine, brain fog, fatigue, memory issues and pain. After 6 months of no gluten, I tried gluten and developed an abdominal rash that lasted  2 months.  I had a migraine, chronic body pain and IBS for a week until the gluten left my body.

    Sugar from fruits and carbohydrates – body pain, fatigue, IBS, memory issues and headaches.

    Fast forward to 2018, now I am feeling fabulous.  My memory, energy, pains and migraines are in control.  I was finally able to focus more on helping others again.  My desire to spread my knowledge, experience and personal journey with the community began to flourish.   I began to focus on oxidative stress, nutrigenomics and biohacking to impact a variety of diseases and developmental delays.  It was hard for me to develop the courage to speak my story via social media and public forums but I knew I had to overcome my fears and help others.  Finally,  I reunited with Luly B. in April 2018 and my motivation came.  Luly B. was a classmate of mine in elementary school but I had a fear of her outgoing, happy personality at the time because my learning disabilities and fear were beginning to arise.  She became a true inspiration and push for me to get out of my shell and finally do all the things I have wanted to achieve.  So here I am in May 2018, excited to attend her event and finally strong and confident.  With her inspiration and guidance, and the support from BNI Rainmakers my confidence is here.  Miami and the world my goal is set, my passion and focus is here and my story will be told.  I am focusing my events to support Autism Speaks because of my personal connection with children with autism and my desire to help them heal naturally.  I urge you to support this fabulous cause and learn more about natural healing, nutrition and enzyme activation.  Join me on May 27 or June 10 in the Microsoft Store at Dadeland Mall.  If you are not local to Miami and would like to support the event, donate today and watch Live on my Youtube channel.  Become a follower on my YouTube Channel and get instant access to the live events.  I hope to see you there.
