Your Health is Your Choice with Sara Troy and her guest Monica Kahio, on air from January 16th
Over 1 million people in the US suffer from asthma and allergies, majority of these are children and most triggers are as a result of environmental toxins, pollutions and different types of chemicals found in indoor environment. People with asthma and allergies are the most overmedicated, misdiagnosed and misunderstood. These are the number one result of school absenteeism and for emergency hospital visits. By eliminating the triggers, and fueling the body with whole food nutrition, individuals have been able to enhance their heath, reduce the number of prescribed medications or heal.
I do this is because the above was my story. I suffered from allergies that turned into allergic asthma, and developed nasal polyps and severe sinuses. I’ve always followed the naturopathic route but even with that I got worse every single year. It was not until I discovered the invisible toxins, hidden mold, chemicals, VOCs and more in my home that I realized why I wasn’t improving. I came across some technologies for the home that eliminated what I was breathing and my symptoms completely went away. I understand the people I serve. I have walked in their shoes, I know what its like not to be able to take a breath, have a full night’s sleep, and wake up with a tight chest, cough, sneeze and brain fog.
I made it my life mission to help those who suffer the way I did or more.

My Way is related to my own journey
When I was in my twenties, I endured an operation to remove two disks from my spine, and though the surgery was successful, I was left needing crutches for an extended period of time and had to live with chronic pain. Understandably, I was distraught, often to the point of absolute misery. Nearly twenty-five years later, a friend who had watched my suffering, introduced me to ASEA Redox Molecules and having nothing but pain to lose, I gave it a try. Shortly after this, it was clear to me that my pain was subsiding. Within six weeks, I was able to work in my garden without the agony that such an activity would normally cause. Now, I am pleased to say that I am pain free and feel an overwhelming obligation to share the wonders of Redox with the world. ASEA has truly given my life back to me.

Being a caregiver for someone you love who is dying is a profound and emotionally challenging experience. It involves not only physical care but also a deep emotional and spiritual connection. Here, we’ll explore the gifts of memories, perceptions, and the connections of the soul and spirit when crossing over from those who are dying and the deceased.
Memories and Shared Moments: As a caregiver, you have the unique opportunity to create and cherish lasting memories with your loved one. These memories become treasures that you can hold onto long after they have passed. The simple act of being present, listening, and sharing stories can bring comfort and joy to both you and the person you’re caring for.
Perceptions of Life’s Meaning: When someone is nearing the end of their life, they often reflect on the meaning and purpose of their existence. As a caregiver, you can engage in deep conversations that allow your loved one to explore their life’s journey, accomplishments, regrets, and hopes. These discussions can bring clarity and a sense of closure.
Spiritual Connections: Many people find solace in spirituality when facing the end of life. Caregivers can provide support by facilitating spiritual practices, whether through prayer, meditation, or connecting with religious or philosophical beliefs. This can help your loved one find peace and transcendence in their final days.
Soulful Bond: Caregiving is an act of love that transcends the physical realm. The bond you share with your loved one deepens as you accompany them on their journey. You become witnesses to their vulnerability, strength, and courage. This soulful connection can bring immense comfort and reassurance to both you and your loved one.
Crossing Over and Legacy: As your loved one approaches the end of life, there may be moments of transition and crossing over. These can be deeply spiritual experiences filled with profound insights and connections to the unknown. Caregivers often report feeling the presence of their loved ones even after they have passed, suggesting a continuation of the soul’s journey.
Grief and Healing: After your loved one has passed away, the memories, perceptions, and spiritual connections you shared can be a source of healing. While grief is a natural part of the process, these gifts can provide solace and help you navigate the complex emotions that accompany loss.
Being a caregiver during the end-of-life journey is both a challenging and rewarding experience. It allows you to give the gift of love, compassion, and companionship to someone you care deeply about. The memories, perceptions, and spiritual connections forged during this time are precious and enduring, providing comfort and support as you and your loved one navigate the profound transition from life to whatever lies beyond.
Jeff says “I spent twenty-five years in the wonderful world of road construction. Back surgery in 2010 put the skids on that career. My body couldn’t handle the rigors of twelve to sixteen-hour days, six to seven days a week anymore. As I convalesced, licking my wounds, I wondered what to do next. Not being out in the sun getting baked, or dodging traffic, was going to be a hard act to follow. Seriously, what else did I know? An article in the Dallas Morning News caught my eye. It was about being a professional speaker. Hmm? That sounds interesting. Becoming mobile again, I took a seat in front of a blank monitor, pondering what to write”.
Let’s start with something I know: my life. The first work is titled “God’s Plan: A Glimpse Into One’s Life.” I re-titled it six months later to “Why Did Everything Happen?” This is a look back at the last twenty-five years of my life and how the death of my partner, father and true love affected my life. I was amazed at the revelations.

Your Health is Your Choice with Sara Troy and her guest Dee Lippingwell, on air from September 25th
The Real Truth is there are over 100 known causes of liver disease that affect everyone from infants to seniors. One in 10 people will suffer from it. Liver disease is not just with Rock and Roll stars, but anyone can have it. Have you had the blood test that can save your life? Do not delay, it could be life or death.
The liver is an organ about the size of a football. It sits just under your rib cage on the right side of your abdomen. The liver is essential for digesting food and ridding your body of toxic substances.
Liver disease can be inherited (genetic). Liver problems can also be caused by a variety of factors that damage the liver, such as viruses, alcohol use and obesity.
Over time, conditions that damage the liver can lead to scarring (cirrhosis), which can lead to liver failure, a life-threatening condition. But early treatment may give the liver time to heal.
Many people have only heard of Cirrhosis which is often considered to be a form of liver disease. Cirrhosis is not a form of liver disease, it is a condition that results from permanent damage or scarring of the liver. It is the end stage of many different forms of liver disease and is known to cause a number of other health problems. You can learn more about Cirrhosis at HealthLinkBC
Some of the most frequent liver diseases are usually caused by one of these factors: Viral hepatitis (Hepatitis A, B and C)Obesity (fatty liver disease) Alcohol Genetics Autoimmune disorders of the liver Drugs and toxins Cancer
Liver disease doesn’t always cause noticeable signs and symptoms. If signs and symptoms of liver disease do occur, they may include:
Skin and eyes that appear yellowish (jaundice)
Abdominal pain and swelling
Swelling in the legs and ankles
Itchy skin
Dark urine color
Pale stool color
Chronic fatigue
Nausea or vomiting
Loss of appetite
Tendency to bruise easily
The Happy Liver Society of BC is a non-profit society focused on providing housing to support patients and their families from all over British Columbia as they need to travel to Vancouver General Hospital for a life-saving Liver Transplant. Liver transplant patients must stay in Vancouver for up to three months following their transplant for post-transplant care as an out-patient.
The Happy Liver Society opened Stacey House in September 2008 — a “home away from home” for post-operative liver transplant patients. It is located one block away from Vancouver General Hospital. Stacey House is a one-bedroom apartment that will sleep up to four people. The Happy Liver Society of BC provides for the rent and utilities of this suite.
The Happy Liver Society is raising funds to support Stacey House and to promote awareness of liver disease to the greater public. We promote immunization for Hepatitis A and B, testing of all people for Hepatitis C, and early screening and detection of liver disease in general.
Dee her self compromised her Liver, not through booze but through Idiophone
In 2022 Dee’s collection of thousands of photographs was accepted into the National Music Centre – Studio Bell – in Calgary, Alberta, where a special section will be dedicated to her vast collection of photographs for all to see. Although Dee’s work has been published all over the world since the start of her career she is definitely proud of the fact that she was a featured photographer in the best-selling “Expo Celebration Book” published in 1986. Her photographs were also a main feature of another best-selling book by Greg Potter and Red Robinson – “Backstage Vancouver”, published in 2004. She was also a substantial contributor to the “100 Years of Fun – The PNE Story”, released in 2011. Most recently Dee was part of the “Live at the Commodore” historical rendition by Aaron Chapman. In 1987 Dee published her first book of photographs called “The Best Seat In The House”… a title since used by major companies to promote their own products! This book was a collection of her best photos of rock and roll royalty to that date. She started her own publishing company (No Flash Publishing) and compiled photos and stories for her second book, “First three Sons…No Flash!” which not only highlights the famous performers that she’s shot but also deals with the behind-the-scenes, sometimes amusing, stories associated with her concert photos…it seems that everyone wants to know what it’s like backstage with the Rolling Stones! In 2021 Dee published “Memories From The Mountain”, a photographic essay depicting the 17 years (1993-2009) that she was the head photographer for the Merritt Mountain Music Festival. This was a Limited Edition printing and sold out quickly so another book was published featuring all the artists that performed over the year.
Just a sample of some of the greats Dee has captured over the years.
