Vitamin D deficiency is a pandemic in the United States, but many Americans, including physicians, are not aware that they may be lacking this important nutrient. 

Despite its name, vitamin D is not a regular vitamin. It's actually a steroid hormone that you get primarily from either sun exposure or supplementation, and its ability to influence genetic expression that produces many of its wide-ranging health benefits.

(NaturalNews) For those who are familiar with the GAPS diet, rebuilding the gut is of paramount importance. After all, the gut isn't only involved in properly absorbing nutrients to keep us fit - it's the foundation for a strong nervous system and immunity as well. When the gut is in top form, food sensitivities and illnesses have a harder time taking root. Interestingly, research has shown that probiotics can also heal the gut to such a point that food intolerance and allergies disappear.

Thousands of Romanians marched to commemorate 24 years since the 1989 21 December bloody anti-communist Romanian revolution and to protest against parliament approving a bill that increases the immunity of deputies from corruption charges, against a Canadian company's plan to set up Europe's biggest open-cast gold mine in Romania, as well as against plans by U.S. energy group Chevron to explore for shale gas in a poor eastern region of the country.

GFP Commentary: You're God=Love. Love is truly All there is,in Reality.

As the soft flow of energy moves above you, within you and all around you, you will come to the discovery that there are many experiences that can be found while experiencing God’s Light. It is important to understand dear ones, each experience you encounter will produce an imprint on your awakened self, a kind of mark that helped to change the parts of you that needed changing, that allowed you to become liberated and no longer feeling separated from your own truth or from the Light of God.
 
The radiant brilliance of God’s Light flows gently around the dear souls that are completely ready to receive this divine Light. Even your own beautiful Earth receives nourishment from His penetrating Light very similar to the way dry earthly soul will absorb a drink of life-giving and sustaining water and it is true many plants that grow on your Earth will send their roots out seeking as far as possible in order to sustain its life and to thrive. As you reach towards God’s Radiant Light, you too are being nourished and sustained.
 

This time of year, we are heavily conditioned to GIVE: presents, time, energy, parties, fruit cake, gratitude. Quick check-in: Are you receiving as equally as you give?

Receiving is a necessary component to the continual flow of Universal energy. Receiving balances. It renews. It is the inhale to every exhale. It is a connection to the eternal ebb and flow of blessings that surround us. Receiving energy is required for your life force to prosper, grow and breathe.

It is your birthright to receive in numerous ways as cycles of energy come to and move through you.
