Customize Your Water With Crystals!

Hey, Health Stoppers!

You already charge your environment with your crystals ... did you know that you can charge your water, too? By placing crystals within close proximity of water, the water itself begins to take on the essence of the crystals, harmonizing with their vibration. But it isn't always practical (OR SAFE) to place crystals directly in your water.... seriously, there are so many reasons why you SHOULDN'T do that. However, with the Elixer2Go Crystal Water Bottle, you don't have to; your crystals get to hang out in their own personal pod NEXT to your water,without every touching it! Awesome!!!

Elixer2Go Water Bottles are great for the crystal lover in your life (and that person may well be you :P )! Any crystal you've been carrying around with you can now be used to charge your water, so your body can assimilate the crystal's potential on an even more intimate level - from within. Additionally, each bottle comes fully loaded with a pre-made crystal blend, if you're looking to gift a bottle to a crystal newbie. Amethyst + Clear Quartz Blend - heightens intuition, clears energetic blockages and promotes a sense of well being Rose Quarts + Clear Quartz - balances the heart center, encourages sense of love and compassion for the self and others, clears energetic blockages Smokey Quartz + Clear Quartz - dispels negative vibrations, draws out impurities, clears energetic blockages Be sure to specify which blend you're looking for when you buy! We'll direct you to the correct one :) Or, even better, pick out some crystals right here to make your own!

What If Your Blanket Could Heal You While You Sleep?

Hey, Health Stoppers!

Tourmaline crystals have been known for their healing properties for centuries, but in recent years great strides have been made in the discovery of new uses for the precious stones. Tourmaline textiles are one such up and coming technology, in which tourmaline nano-particles are bound to a fabric for therapeutic use. When worn on the body, these fabrics absorb the body heat and convert it back into far infrared energy, which is redirected back to the body. This far infrared energy then works to heal the body, and mind! The most popular use for tourmaline textiles is tourmaline blankets, as the benefits of tourmaline are best seen when the body is exposed to them during a state of rest. Each tourmaline particle generates negative ions, providing a multitude of benefits. The effects of tourmaline blankets are staggering! Tourmaline encourages an alkaline environment in the body, lowering the acidity of body tissues. When sleeping beneath a tourmaline blanket, oxidative stress and free radicals can be reduced, blood flow and blood oxygen levels can be increased. In this way, tourmaline blankets can reduce inflammation and pain in the body. Tourmaline encourages serotonin production, increasing alpha brain waves and leading to deeper, more restorative sleep. Not only do they promote better sleep, but tourmaline blankets have been found to reduce anxiety, and promote a sense of relaxation. Tourmaline blankets are plush, warm, and comforting. You will never want to sleep without your tourmaline blanket again, once you’ve had one!

But tourmaline isn’t just for humans! Pets are also able to receive the healing benefits of tourmaline, and respond effectively to tourmaline textiles. Tourmaline pet beds are available for your furry friends, providing all the therapeutic benefits seen in humans. Pain relief, deep healing and anxiety relief are among the effects seen in pets given tourmaline pet beds. Tourmaline blankets and pet beds are machine washable and tumble without fear of losing the effect of tourmaline crystals, as they are bonded to the fabric. The tourmaline lasts as long as the fabric does! With the holidays coming around, you may be wondering what to gift your nearest and dearest. With tourmaline blankets and pet beds, you can give the gift of health! There is nothing more valuable than that!

Magnesium = Insulin Resistance, Anxiety and Tension Relief?

Hey, Health Stoppers!

Magnesium has numerous benefits, acting as a support to nearly every system in the body. And it makes sense - it is naturally found in untouched drinking water, our primary source of magnesium for the entirety of human history. Magnesium, quite literally, is as important as drinking water itself. Too bad many purified waters remove magnesium all together. Magnesium deficiency impacts millions of people each day who go un-diagnosed, as magnesium levels cannot be determined by blood tests. There are other ways to determine them, of course, but most doctors do not immediately test for magnesium levels. Consider Dr. Norman Shealy's statements, "Every known illness is associated with a magnesium deficiency" and that, "magnesium is the most critical mineral required for electrical stability of every cell in the body. A magnesium deficiency may be responsible for more diseases than any other nutrient." Symptoms of magnesium deficiency include muscle twitches, cramps, soreness, and fatigue. A tightness in the chest coupled with difficulty breathing is another symptom, and the occasional sensation of a lump in the throat. Back aches, neck pain, tension headaches and TMJ are more symptoms. But there is more. Anxiety, hyperactivity, insomnia, restlessness. Panic attacks, agoraphobia, PMS, irritability. Numbness, tingling, vibratory sensations. High blood pressure, palpitations, heart arrhythmia, and angina. All of these are associated with magnesium deficiency. One might say a person with magnesium deficiency may come across as "uptight". Other symptoms/manfiestations of magnesium deficiency include: Physical and mental fatigue Persistent under-eye twitch Tension in the upper back, shoulders and neck Headaches Pre-menstrual fluid retention and/or breast tenderness Low energy Fatigue Weakness Confusion Nervousness Anxiousness Irritability Seizures (and tantrums) Poor digestion PMS and hormonal imbalances Inability to sleep Muscle tension, spasm and cramps Calcification of organs Weakening of the bones Abnormal heart rhythm Extreme thirst Extreme hunger Frequent urination Sores or bruises that heal slowly Dry, itchy skin Unexplained weight loss Blurry vision that changes from day to day Unusual tiredness or drowsiness Tingling or numbness in the hands or feet Frequent or recurring skin, gum, bladder or vaginal yeast infections If you notice, some of the symptoms for magnesium deficiency are also the symptoms for diabetes. It seems that there may be a linkage between magnesium and insulin resistance. You can find out more by reading this article on magnesium deficiency. What is the best way to prevent magnesium deficiency? By supplementing it of course!

Magnesium may no longer be available in (most) waters, but you CAN add it to your water. CALM can be taken throughout the day, but we find it best taken before bed, as it is relaxing, and helps you get to sleep! But if you want to take it throughout the day, it will provide a sense of tranquility. Additional methods of supplementing magnesium also exist. Capsules, tablets and trace mineral blends contain magnesium. But whatever your delivery system, make sure you get some magensium everyday! Consider it as important to your well-being as H20!

A Planet Saving Skincare Routine!

Hey, Health Stoppers!

In these times of ecological crisis, it is imperative that we attempt to live our lives as sustainable as possible. Unfortunately, modern living and sustainability don't always go hand in hand. Specifically, for the purposes of these article, in the realm of beauty. The sad truth is, most products designed to sustain our looks come at the price of harming the planet - and our own bodies. Plastic packaging contributes to our landfills, and the ingredients themselves pollute our own bodies. Just because something is sold for topical use doesn't mean it is safe. The moment a substance is absorbed into your skin, it is inevitably destined to filter into your bloodstream. Synthetic dyes, perfumes, parabens, sulfates - all used regularly by millions of individuals, slowly toxifying their bodies. Realistically, shouldn't what we put on our bodies be safe enough to put IN our bodies? If topical applications are absorbed into the body anyway, they should probably be safe enough to eat, don't you think? It seems to be a logical conclusion. In comes - The Herbs & Bees wellness and beauty line, providing us with a solution to this dilemma. The Herbs & Bees handcrafts natural, organic, raw products that are safe for both the environment and your body!

When Bombarded By EMFs... The Solution is to Neutralize Them!

Hey, Health Stoppers!

We live in a technology-dominant age. Radio, Wifi and Cellular frequencies permeate the air, a smartphone is in every pocket, Bluetooth headsets and car communicators have become a way of life. In addition to this, we are, one might say, a heavily 'electric' society. Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs) are everywhere, whether they are coming from your Macbook Air or your refrigerator. Whether this is a positive or negative thing is up to you to discern, however it has been found that exposure to EMFs can lead, at the very least, to heightened tension and anxiety. At most, they have been classified as 'possible human carcinogenics'. What can we do about it? Short of moving out of our convenient technological metropolis and living off grid, there are few things we can do to limit our exposure to EMFs, outside of keeping our cell phones away, or turning off devices in our homes. However, a new technology has been created which limits the harmful effects of EMFs on the human body. This is GIA. GIA has created patented cell phone cases, pendants and and other deviceswhich put out a frequency of their own, that effectively neutralizes EMF frequencies, as well as strengthens the resilience of your body's biofield to electromagnetic stress.

How Does GIA Work? "Man-­made electromagnetic fields radiate with steady, regular oscillations or pulses with constant frequencies. However, natural electromagnetic fields are highly irregular, with random and mixed frequencies and waveform." (1) It has been discovered that man-­made frequencies had a detrimental, negative effect on biological cells, whereas the natural frequencies did not. They called this natural electromagnetic field with random and mixed frequencies and waveform, “Noise Field”. (1)

These Noise Field frequencies, when imposed over man-made frequencies, act to neutralize the negative effects of EMFs. GIA products contain this Noise Field techology. GIA Technology allows you to thrive in an increasingly stressful and wireless world! They are designed to address the effects of daily stressors*, including EMFs and electromagnetic radiation. We personally recommend the GIA Pendants, Cell Guard cell phone casesand Cell Guard applications, which can be placed onto any electronic device. Additionally, we recommend GIA's SmartMeter Defender, which provides radiation protection against SmartMeters. If you recall our email on SmartMeters a few months ago, they are being introduced to homes in our area by local electric companies, and some of our customers have had them installed without even being notified. If you are curious has to the impact of SmartMeters on human health, you can find this information on the internet.

If you are interested in fortifying yourself with GIA technology, it is available for special order at The Health Stop in store, or you can access these, and more great products, through our Gia Wellness Shop! We would like to state that we are behind their Energy line at the moment, but are still researching their other products. After months of thorough study, the Energy line is the one we stand behind. We are still doing research on their other products, and will keep you posted on our findings! :) If you have any questions regarding GIA technology, drop by the shop and we can offer an in-person demonstration regarding the impacts of the GIA technology on the human body. When life gives you EMF soup ... Learn to swim in it! :) For more Information, Check out this video from The Truth About Cancer;GIA Products are mentioned here!
