They are not established biological science or medical diagnoses.</p><p>But as mirrors for a life already lived?</p><p>OH MY STARS. &#127775;</p><p>The parallels are fascinating.</p><h2>&#129293; Different titles. The same calling.</h2><p>Look at where almost 60 years of life have led:</p><p>Clairaudient Root-cause Buddhist Biohacker.</p><p>Primal Personal Trainer.</p><p>Reiki Master.</p><p>C-PTSD Peer Supporter for Addiction Soul Peace.</p><p>Buddhist Wedding Officiant. &#128141;</p><p>Womb-to-End-of-Life Peace Doula.</p><p>At first glance, those may look like completely different roles.</p><p>But underneath them is one continuous thread:</p><p>Mothering.</p><p>Listening.</p><p>Observing.</p><p>Protecting.</p><p>Investigating.</p><p>Walking beside another Soul without needing to walk the path for them.</p><p>There is the beginning of life.</p><p>Childhood.</p><p>Trauma.</p><p>Relationships.</p><p>Addiction.</p><p>Recovery.</p><p>Marriage.</p><p>Grief.</p><p>Dying.</p><p>Different thresholds.</p><p>The same desire for peace.</p><p>Perhaps those were never separate roles at all.</p><p>Perhaps they have always been different expressions of the same calling:</p><p>Mothering the unmothered. &#129293;</p><h2>&#129516; The firstborn fixer who asks WHY</h2><p>A parentified firstborn can learn very early to notice everything.</p><p>Who is upset?</p><p>What changed in the room?</p><p>What sound was that?</p><p>What does that smell mean?</p><p>Who needs help?</p><p>What needs fixing?</p><p>What is about to happen?</p><p>For a high-sensing human, that awareness can extend beyond relationships into the physical environment.</p><p>Sounds.</p><p>Scents.</p><p>Food.</p><p>Air.</p><p>Buildings.</p><p>Temperature.</p><p>Light.</p><p>Sleep.</p><p>People.</p><p>Energy.</p><p>The body becomes an extraordinary observer.</p><p>That is why DBM-5&#8482; keeps returning to the root-cause question:</p><p>WHAT CAME BEFORE THIS?</p><p>Not simply:</p><p>&#8220;What is the symptom?&#8221;</p><p>But:</p><p>What happened before it?</p><p>What happened in the womb?</p><p>What happened within the walls?</p><p>What has the body been exposed to?</p><p>What patterns preceded the change?</p><p>What has the nervous system been adapting to?</p><p>What has the Soul been carrying?</p><p>What are stools, mood, food, fluids and sleep trying to tell us?</p><p>Your body leaves clues.</p><h2>&#127775; Are you twinkling &#8212; or living through a star storm?</h2><p>This may be the favourite metaphor to come from this entire exploration.</p><p>Ask yourself:</p><p>Is your energy gently twinkling like a peaceful little star?</p><p>&#10024;</p><p>Or has your biological system been living through its own Cytokine STAR STORM?</p><p>Always moving.</p><p>Always scanning.</p><p>Always anticipating.</p><p>Always solving.</p><p>Always protecting.</p><p>Always preparing for whatever might happen next.</p><p>A body cannot be bullied into peace.</p><p>Perhaps the answer is not another push.</p><p>Perhaps the storm needs somewhere safe enough to settle.</p><p>That is Biological Peace.</p><p>And that is why the DBM-5&#8482; philosophy is:</p><p>Your worth is not in the push.</p><p>It is in the pause.</p><h2>&#127758; YOU ARE NATURE</h2><p>This is where the conversation leaves the stars and comes all the way back to Mother Earth.</p><p>YOU are Nature.</p><p>The human body is not separate from the natural world.</p><p>Water.</p><p>Food.</p><p>Light.</p><p>Darkness.</p><p>Movement.</p><p>Rest.</p><p>Breath.</p><p>Microbes.</p><p>Plants.</p><p>Soil.</p><p>Sleep.</p><p>DBM-5&#8482; returns again and again to these foundations.</p><p>Water-based drinks.</p><p>Foods from Mother Nature&#8217;s medicine cabinet.</p><p>Movement that honours the body.</p><p>Natural light.</p><p>Darkness at night.</p><p>Deep sleep.</p><p>Connection.</p><p>Rest.</p><p>Awareness of the womb and the walls surrounding the body.</p><p>And curiosity about the everyday environment &#8212; including what we eat, drink, breathe, hear, smell, touch and repeatedly experience.</p><p>Even words form part of our social and sensory environment.</p><p>Perhaps that is another reason gentle language feels so natural around here.</p><p>No need to fill the air with harsh words when&#8230;</p><p>OH MY STARS works beautifully. &#128514;&#127775;</p><h2>&#127807; From cellular health to Mother Earth</h2><p>There is another layer to DBM-5&#8482; that extends beyond one human body.</p><p>As within, so without.</p><p>Healthy humans depend upon healthy ecosystems.</p><p>Our food depends upon soil.</p><p>Our cells depend upon nutrients.</p><p>Our bodies depend upon water.</p><p>Our circadian rhythms respond to light and darkness.</p><p>Our lives depend upon the natural systems surrounding us.</p><p>So caring for our internal environment and caring for Mother Earth do not need to be competing ideas.</p><p>They can be part of the same relationship.</p><p>Care for the body.</p><p>Care for the home.</p><p>Care for the water.</p><p>Care for the food.</p><p>Care for the soil.</p><p>Care for the next generation.</p><p>Healing our relationship with our cellular, Soul and energy barriers can inspire greater care for Mother Earth&#8217;s depleted soil and ecosystems too.</p><p>Everything affects everything.</p><h2>&#127775; Maybe being made of stardust isn&#8217;t about leaving Earth</h2><p>Perhaps this is the most beautiful part.</p><p>The elements making up our bodies have cosmic origins.</p><p>Yet here we are.</p><p>Living biological lives on Mother Earth.</p><p>Maybe being made from stardust was never an invitation to escape the planet.</p><p>Maybe it is an invitation to marvel at belonging to something much larger while becoming more responsible caretakers of the tiny piece of Earth beneath our own feet.</p><p>&#127775; Cosmic Blueprint.</p><p>&#129516; Biological Body.</p><p>&#128167; Water.</p><p>&#127793; Soil.</p><p>&#127758; Mother Earth.</p><p>&#129293; Soul Peace.</p><p>From womb to walls.</p><p>From first breath to final breath.</p><p>From surviving to living.</p><p>From star storm to peaceful little twinkle.</p><p>Come home to Biological Peace.</p><p>&#127909;

It is environmental. It is a fried nervous system and a leaking microbiome /gut. </p><p>&#8220;I&#8217;m so OCD.&#8221;</p><p>&#8220;That&#8217;s crazy.&#8221;</p><p>&#8220;That&#8217;s insane.&#8221;</p><p>Words matter.</p><p>Not because we need to become perfect speakers or police every word that comes out of our mouths, but because language carries meaning, emotion and intention &#8212; and our bodies are constantly responding to the environment we create around them.</p><p>When we casually use clinical terms as insults or exaggerations, we can trivialize deeply complex conditions.</p><p>But there is another reason I care about our words:</p><p><strong>What we repeatedly say can shape the environment we live in &#8212; including the environment inside our own bodies.</strong></p><h2>The Science Behind Harsh Words</h2><p>When we experience anger, threat or chronic stress, the brain and nervous system can activate the body&#8217;s stress response.</p><p>Repeated or prolonged stress activation can influence cortisol, inflammatory signalling, sleep, digestion, immune function and the body&#8217;s ability to return to a restorative state.</p><p>Your body doesn&#8217;t need to understand the dictionary definition of every word.</p><p>It responds to the <strong>emotional and physiological experience surrounding those words.</strong></p><p>That distinction matters.</p><p>If you continually speak to yourself with anger, shame, criticism or contempt, what kind of environment are you creating inside?</p><p>And if you begin speaking with compassion, patience, kindness and curiosity, what changes?</p><p><strong>When you speak fire, your own cells swallow the smoke.</strong></p><h2>The Spiritual Truth: Your Soul Is Always Listening</h2><p>In Buddhist wisdom, <strong>Right Speech &#8212; Samm&#257; V&#257;c&#257; &#8212;</strong> asks us to become conscious of what we say, why we say it and whether our words create harm or peace.</p><p>For me, this goes deeper than simply choosing nicer words.</p><p>Your Soul is always listening.</p><p>Your cells are always listening.</p><p>Your nervous system is always receiving information.</p><p>Your body is continuously interacting with your internal and external environment.</p><p>So I want you to pause today and ask:</p><p><strong>What am I feeding my temple with my words?</strong></p><p>Am I telling myself:</p><p><em>I&#8217;m broken.</em></p><p><em>My body is betraying me.</em></p><p><em>I&#8217;ll never get better.</em></p><p><em>What&#8217;s wrong with me?</em></p><p>Or can I become curious enough to say:</p><p><em>I&#8217;m listening.</em></p><p><em>I&#8217;m learning.</em></p><p><em>My body is trying to tell me something.</em></p><p><em>What is my environment asking my body to respond to?</em></p><p>You don&#8217;t have to pretend everything is wonderful.</p><p>You don&#8217;t have to force positive thinking.</p><p>You don&#8217;t have to deny pain.</p><p><strong>You simply don&#8217;t have to make war with yourself while you&#8217;re trying to heal.</strong></p><p>You cannot shame your body into safety.</p><p>You cannot bully yourself into peace.</p><p>You cannot fight your way into restoration.</p><p><strong>Clean the words.</strong></p><p><strong>Calm the terrain.</strong></p><p><strong>Create safety.</strong></p><p><strong>Allow the body to rest.</strong></p><p>Because sometimes the first healing conversation you need to have...</p><p>is the one you have with yourself.</p><p>&#128156;</p><h2>And this is why I keep saying:</h2><p><strong>It&#8217;s not mental.</strong></p><p><strong>Look at your environment.</strong></p><p>Your body has been whispering, talking and now screaming in a cytokine storm by midlife.</p><p>Perhaps the question isn&#8217;t:</p><p><strong>&#8220;What&#8217;s wrong with me?&#8221;</strong></p><p>Perhaps the question is:</p><p><strong>&#8220;What is my body trying to tell

breadcrumbs.</strong></p><p>Read that again, sweet soul.</p><p>You deserve the feast.</p><p>Not crumbs of affection.</p><p>Not occasional attention.</p><p>Not love that only appears when you&#8217;re useful.</p><p>Not protection you have to beg for.</p><p>Not a lifetime of carrying everyone else&#8217;s weight while quietly wondering:</p><p><strong>&#8220;Who is going to take care of me?&#8221;</strong></p><p>This is where <strong>Mothering the Unmothered&#8482;</strong> came to be.</p><p>Because I wasn&#8217;t mothered in the way my little soul needed.</p><p>And before I could truly mother my son, I had to learn how to mother myself.</p><h3>I had to become my own mother</h3><p>I had to learn how to listen to myself.</p><p>How to comfort myself.</p><p>How to protect myself.</p><p>How to say no.</p><p>How to stop accepting breadcrumbs when my soul was starving for the feast.</p><p>How to recognize that being loving doesn&#8217;t mean allowing everyone access to you.</p><p>How to understand that forgiveness doesn&#8217;t require me to keep standing in the same place where I was hurt.</p><p>And slowly, I began learning something profound:</p><p><strong>The little girl inside me was still waiting for someone to protect her.</strong></p><p>So I became that person. <br><br>You can learn more in this weeks Sober SoulCare Sunday video for addiction

DBM-5&#8482; work.</p><p>If you didn&#8217;t have protectors in your life, we begin learning how to become a safe place for ourselves.</p><p>Not perfectly.</p><p>Not overnight.</p><p>But one peaceful choice at a time.</p><h3>And then I became a mother</h3><p>When Noah came along, I knew something very clearly:</p><p><strong>I was not going to make my child carry what I had carried.</strong></p><p>I raised my son the way I had wished my protectors had raised me.</p><p>He was rooted in love.</p><p>He was surrounded by hugs.</p><p>We had mental health check-ins every day.</p><p>I treated him like an adult even when he was little because I respected his intelligence and his voice.</p><p><strong>But I never gave him adult responsibilities.</strong></p><p>That distinction matters.</p><p>I let him be a child.</p><p>I let him play.</p><p>I let him say no.</p><p>I didn&#8217;t make him responsible for my happiness.</p><p>I didn&#8217;t make him my emotional caretaker.</p><p>I didn&#8217;t ask him to carry the weight of the world.</p><p>He was allowed to simply be Noah.</p><p>And that is something I wish every parent understood:</p><p><strong>Respecting your child&#8217;s voice does not mean making your child your equal or your caretaker.</strong></p><p>I was his mother.</p><p>I was his parent.</p><p>And I let him be my child.</p><h3>And now he protects me, too</h3><p>Noah is 28 this year and we still live together with his Love. <br>My heart sings each morning, knowing we are all under one roof.<br><br>I raised my son with intention to be the best father and husband if that is what he desired. <br>It began as soon as he could walk with 10 second tidy ;) </p><p>Any Blues Clues fans among our fellow high sensing health detectives. </p><p>He has never had a puff of anything, no toxic coffee and has never had a drop of alcohol.</p><p>But the thing I&#8217;m most proud of isn&#8217;t that.</p><p>It&#8217;s the human being he became.</p><p>He is calm.</p><p>He is grounded.</p><p>He is protective.</p><p>And yesterday, I asked him something that brought me to tears.</p><p>I asked:</p><p><strong>&#8220;Noah, do you ever feel paternal towards me?&#8221;</strong></p><p>He didn&#8217;t hesitate.</p><p><strong>&#8220;No, Mom. I didn&#8217;t feel paternal. I&#8217;ve always been protective.&#8221;</strong></p><p>Oh my stars.</p><p>That distinction touched something very deep inside me.</p><p>Because we are not best friends.</p><p><strong>I am his mother. He is my son.</strong></p><p>But there is tremendous love between us.</p><p>And there is something beautiful about knowing that the little boy I protected grew into a man who naturally protects his mother.</p><p>Not because I made him responsible for me.</p><p>Because love became our language.</p><h3>&#8220;I want what you guys have.&#8221;</h3><p>I&#8217;ve heard this from other mothers more times than I can count.</p><p>People come into our space and feel the energy between us.</p><p>And they say:</p><p><strong>&#8220;I want what you guys have.&#8221;</strong></p><p>I understand why.</p><p>What they&#8217;re seeing isn&#8217;t perfection.</p><p>They&#8217;re seeing a relationship where neither person has to shrink.</p><p>Neither person has to perform.</p><p>Neither person has to carry the other person&#8217;s emotional backpack.</p><p>There is love.</p><p>There is laughter.</p><p>There are hugs.</p><p>There are boundaries.</p><p>There is respect.</p><p>And there is room for both people to be fully themselves.</p><p>That is what I wanted to create for my son.</p><p>And somewhere along the way, I realized I needed to create it for myself, too.</p><h3>To the firstborns carrying the invisible backpack</h3><p>If you are a firstborn who became the responsible one...</p><p>If you learned to read the room before you learned to read yourself...</p><p>If you have been carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders since you were little...</p><p><strong>You are safe here.</strong></p><p>If you had no protectors...</p><p><strong>You are safe here.</strong></p><p>If you became the peacekeeper, the caregiver, the good child or the strong one...</p><p><strong>You are safe here.</strong></p><p>If you love souls who made you feel small...</p><p><strong>You are safe here.</strong></p><p>If you have spent your life caring for everyone else while quietly wondering who would care for you...</p><p><strong>You are safe here.</strong></p><p>And if you have been dismissed by the medical system while your labs were called &#8220;clean&#8221; and you were still struggling despite doing everything you could to live, eat and fuel your body well to age gracefully...</p><p><strong>You are not alone.</strong></p><p><strong>You are safe here.</strong></p><h3>Drowning with clean labs?</h3><p>This phrase has become important to me because I know what it feels like.</p><p>I spent years trying to understand what my body was telling me.</p><p>I was looking for the root.</p><p>I was testing.</p><p>I was searching.</p><p>I was living as cleanly as I knew how.</p><p>And yet I still felt like I was drowning.</p><p>My experience eventually taught me to look beyond the question of:</p><p><strong>&#8220;What&#8217;s wrong with me?&#8221;</strong></p><p>and start asking:</p><p><strong>&#8220;What is my body responding to?&#8221;</strong></p><p>That shift changed the way I looked at my entire life.</p><p>I began looking at the environment, the nervous system, the body and the soul as interconnected pieces rather than isolated problems.</p><p>That is the philosophy behind my DBM-5 Sacred Reset&#8482;:</p><p><strong>De-stress.<br>Detox.<br>De-bloat.<br>De-clutter.<br>Deep Peace.</strong></p><p>It is about pausing long enough to listen.</p><h3>The feast begins within</h3><p>Mothering the Unmothered&#8482; isn&#8217;t about pretending the past didn&#8217;t happen.</p><p>It isn&#8217;t about blaming your parents forever.</p><p>It isn&#8217;t about becoming perfect.</p><p>It is about learning to give yourself what you can give yourself today.</p><p>The hug.</p><p>The boundary.</p><p>The rest.</p><p>The nourishing meal.</p><p>The glasses of water.</p><p>The peaceful walk.</p><p>The sacred tears alone in your bed, letting them flow till they stop.</p><p>The no.</p><p>The yes.</p><p>The bedtime.</p><p>The quiet.</p><p>The connection.</p><p>The compassion.</p><p>The protection.</p><p>The feast.</p><p>Because sweet soul:</p><p><strong>You were never meant to survive on breadcrumbs.</strong></p><p>And perhaps your inner child has been waiting all these years for you to finally say:</p><p><strong>&#8220;Come here.<br>I see you.<br>I believe you.<br>You don&#8217;t have to carry this anymore.<br>I&#8217;ve got you now.&#8221;</strong></p><p>That is Inner Child Care.</p><p>That is Sober Soul Growth.</p><p>That is Mothering the Unmothered&#8482;.</p><p>And that is why I created this flock.</p><h3>Your Soul Anchor for today</h3><p>Put your hand over your heart.</p><p>Take a breath.</p><p>And ask:</p><p><strong>&#8220;Where am I still accepting breadcrumbs when I deserve the feast?&#8221;</strong></p><p>Don&#8217;t judge the answer.</p><p>Just listen.</p><p>Then choose one tiny place today where you can give yourself more love, more protection or more peace.</p><p>One peaceful choice matters.</p><p>Every smile.</p><p>Every step.</p><p>Every sacred meal.</p><p>Every sacred sip.</p><p>Every sacred word.</p><p>Every sacred sleep.</p><p>Every sacred connection.</p><p><strong>It all matters for a peaceful you.</strong></p><p>As within, so without. &#129392;</p><p>Welcome home to your flock, rare bird.</p><p><strong>I TRULY LOVE YOU &amp;

own healing journey and share what I&#8217;m learning along the way, the place where I gather most regularly with our community is on YouTube.</p><p>Each evening at <strong>7 PM ET</strong>, I offer <strong>Soul Peace Anchors&#8482;</strong> on the YouTube <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@DeStresswithDeeSOS/posts">Community Tab at </a><strong><a href="https://www.youtube.com/@DeStresswithDeeSOS/posts">@DeStressWithDeeSOS</a></strong><a href="https://www.youtube.com/@DeStresswithDeeSOS/posts">.</a> This is part 2 from last night&#8217;s post discussing how our Soul never dies.<br><br>If you haven&#8217;t done so please hit the notification bell on the Youtube Channel so you don&#8217;t miss any videos on how to regenerate new cells frugally, for peaceful sleep, stools, Soul and a <strong>PeacefulU&#8482;.</strong></p><p>These daily moments are a gentle invitation to <strong>pause for peace</strong>, reconnect with your sacred temple and create more moments of stillness, compassion and connection on your journey to a <strong>PeacefulU&#8482;</strong>.</p><p>This space is for the rare birds who have spent years carrying too much, sensing too much, giving too much or wondering why they experience the world differently.</p><h1><strong>From Ironwoman to Inner Peace: The Power of the Pause at 60</strong></h1><h3><em>How a lifetime of competing, achieving and pushing taught me that your sacred temple is not a machine &#8212; you are a living human animal deserving of rest, repair and peace.</em></h3><p>Today, in Canada&#8217;s Capital, incredible athletes are swimming, cycling and running an Ironman.</p><p>Years ago, I would have understood that drive.</p><p>I lived it.</p><p>I was a competitive swimmer.</p><p>A gymnast.</p><p>A badminton player.</p><p>A track and field athlete.</p><p>A personal trainer. <br><br>A dancer.</p><p>I competed in many different events and spent years challenging myself to do more.</p><p>Run faster.</p><p>Run longer.</p><p>Tumble more.</p><p>Win more.</p><p>Achieve more.</p><p>I was blessed with a body that loved movement and a brain that was always searching for the next challenge.</p><p>I call myself a rare bird because I have always experienced the world differently.</p><p>But that gift also came with a lesson I had to learn:</p><p><strong>My worth was never in the push.</strong></p><p>For many athletes and high achievers, perfectionism becomes part of our identity.</p><p>We believe that if we stop striving, we will stop being valuable.</p><p>We confuse exhaustion with dedication.</p><p>We confuse survival with strength.</p><p>We forget that we are not machines.</p><p><strong>Machines break down.</strong></p><p>And when we treat our sacred temple like a machine, eventually our human animal begins asking us to listen.</p><p>We are living beings.</p><p>We are nature.</p><p><strong>We are energy.</strong></p><p>If you are waking up exhausted, your energy is leaking through 40+ leaky body barriers due to stored toxins and traumas trapped in your tissues since the womb. Combined with living in a constant Cell Danger Response, your body is simply unable to pause, reset and de-stress.</p><p>Thank you for the feedback on caffeine and its cellular toxicity. Because my son and I do not drink coffee or caffeinated drinks, I sometimes forget to share things I assume everyone already knows.</p><p>If you wake up exhausted and immediately grab coffee, caffeine acts like pouring gasoline on an active cellular fire. </p><div id="youtube2-Vlkhb9BBjac" class="youtube-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;videoId&quot;:&quot;Vlkhb9BBjac&quot;,&quot;startTime&quot;:null,&quot;endTime&quot;:null}" data-component-name="Youtube2ToDOM"><div class="youtube-inner"><iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/Vlkhb9BBjac?rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;enablejsapi=0" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" gesture="media" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowautoplay="true" allowfullscreen="true" width="728" height="409"></iframe></div></div><p><br>Last week, I shared both a deep dive video and a short explaining exactly how harmful coffee is to our cells, especially when we are already go-go-going and carrying a heavy toxic load.</p><p>You do not need a stimulant; you need hydration.

For over 50 years of my life, a full moon meant guaranteed, agonizing insomnia. </p><p>I did everything &#8220;right&#8221;&#8212;living clean, eating clean and showing up with clean lab results. Yet night after night, my body refused to rest.</p><p>No doctor ever explained that my temple was locked in a <strong>Cell Danger Response (CDR)</strong>. No one pointed out that my 1:00 AM to 3:00 AM awakenings were not a mental failure or natural menopause, but an environmental warning light telling me: <em>we must pause</em>.</p><h3>The 3:00 AM Toxic Surge</h3><p>Passing out the moment your head hits the pillow is not healthy sleep. It is chemical exhaustion and metabolic collapse. </p><p>When your nervous system is hyper-vigilant and your body is carrying hidden mycotoxins from mould illness, your cellular trash cans are full.</p><p>During the pre-dawn hours&#8212;specifically between 1:00 AM and 3:00 AM&#8212;your body attempts deep cellular cleanup and filtration. </p><p>If your <strong>liver and brain are overloaded with toxins</strong>, your liver becomes overheated trying to process neurotoxins, histamine and systemic waste. </p><p>This internal heat and neuro-inflammation force an adrenaline surge that wakes you up wide awake, hot, anxious and unable to return to rest. Your cells simply do not feel safe enough to remain in restorative sleep.</p><h3>The Shift from Survival to Biological Stillness</h3><p>As I approach my 60th birthday, I have now lived two full years completely free from insomnia. I solved 55 years of sleep deprivation in two days using the DBM-5 framework:</p><ul><li><p><strong>De-stress:</strong> Ending nervous system hyper-arousal, setting firm boundaries and soothing the inner child.</p></li><li><p><strong>Detox:</strong> Clearing hidden mould, mycotoxins, heavy metals, plastics and synthetic chemicals to unburden the liver, brain and physical body.</p></li><li><p><strong>DE-Bloat:</strong> Removing all stimulants, caffeine, alcohol and high-histamine triggers to calm microvascular and gut inflammation.</p></li><li><p><strong>Declutter:</strong> Eliminating sensory overload, bedroom electronics and toxic relationship dynamics.</p></li></ul><p>For two years I have not needed a fan, white noise or chemical sedatives to achieve unbroken peace. When you align with Mother Nature&#8217;s natural rhythms, unburden your liver, stop the cell danger response and clean the air you breathe, your innate healing capacity takes over.</p><p>If you are a Rare Bird who is drowning inside despite doing everything right, know that your body is not broken. It is simply signalling for safety and detoxification.</p><p>Our flock of rare early Love Birds :) gather each night at 7:00 PM ET for sacred sober soul care support on YouTube at <strong>DestresswithdeeSOS</strong> on the community post tab.<br><br>You are not alone.</p><p>Sending loving-kindness from Canada&#8217;s capital,</p><p>Dee<br><br>If you need additional 1:1 support I have 2 spots available.<br><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/destresswithdeesos/">You can learn more on Linkedin.</a></p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Clean Labs and the Truth About C-PTSD it is C-PTSR]]></title><description><![CDATA[Happy Hello Sweet Soul this Trauma & Toxin Tuesday.]]></description><link>https://deesdharma.destresswithdee.love/p/clean-labs-and-the-truth-about-c</link><guid isPermaLink="false">https://deesdharma.destresswithdee.love/p/clean-labs-and-the-truth-about-c</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[Momma Lovey Peace☮️🌎💜]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 21 Jul 2026 15:55:20 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://i.scdn.co/image/ab67616d0000b2739e0ba3f8e8349d6a7a648703" length="0" type="image/jpeg"/><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Happy Hello Sweet Soul this Trauma &amp; Toxin Tuesday. <br>Learn why the medical system labels environmental trauma as mental illness and how to step into true healing in 40 days with the DBM-5 trauma &amp; toxins detox. <br><br>It was wonderful connecting with so many of you during Pema Chodron&#8217;s annual talk.<a href="https://youtu.be/OBSwv3ZSjVc"> Wish her a happy 90th birthday in the comments</a><br><br>If your Mom never told you coffee, caffeine, soda and anything processed in cans, plastics, processed foods and man made meds are all poisonous for your human animal.<br><br>My son and I have never had coffee and I ditched the caffeine 10 years ago when I dropped the booze.

When you know better you must do better.<br><br>Watch all the mental responses like ADHD, anxiety, depression and so much more disappear when you stop treating your sacred temple like a trash can.

What happens in the gut, happens to your brain.</p><p>&#128591;When people push back saying it is mental, I point to the reality of the body. My labs have been completely clean for decades as a primal personal trainer, root cause Buddhist Biohacker using autophagy lifestyle medicine, yet the system still tries to insist it is &#8220;mental.&#8221;</p><p>&#128591;All of my chronic mental responses have disappeared for two years since doing the DBM-5, including insomnia, digestive distress, mental distress, suicidal ideation, food fears and my bloated Buddha belly that I have had as a personal trainer even at 100 lbs since I was 5.</p><p>&#128591;The root cause is a buildup of toxins from cans, plastics, processed sugar, caffeine, booze and living in a constant cell danger response.</p><p>&#128591;Your Type-A, go-go-going mothering the world since you were little when you became the third parent to emotionally unintelligent parents.</p><p>These things are all poisonous to your temple.</p><p>&#128591;When you stop treating your temple like a trash can and start mothering your cells and your leaky soul, you will heal quickly.</p><p>&#128591;The standard medical system has no diagnostic tools to measure a nervous system carrying years of heavy environmental mycotoxins, biotoxins, neurotoxins and relational trauma. </p><p>&#128591;Because standard blood work cannot quantify toxic relationships or systemic stress, the system shifts the blame back onto the individual.</p><p>It medically gaslights survivors into believing their physical pain and mental anguish are &#8220;all in their head.&#8221; </p><p>&#128591;Many doctors are narcissists. I have challenged many who wanted to put me into a mental health institution, like they did to my mother repeatedly when it was actually mould illness and sick building syndrome.</p><p>&#128591;When you are doing everything right, living a clean life&#8212;we don&#8217;t even swear&#8212;living the Buddhist way, eating the Buddhist way with one meal a day for autophagy and managing your stress, it is CIRS. We are one in five of the population who are unable to tag toxins.</p><p>&#128591;The medical system becomes part of the problem when it protects the abusers by trying to &#8220;fix&#8221; us, rather than addressing the external toxicity that caused the damage.<br><br>&#128591;Want to know if you have mould illness. Stop pouring gasoline on the fire with what you are putting into your temple, learning how to pause in biological stillness. </p><p>&#128591;We are one in five of the population who are unable to tag toxins with the HLA-DR gene. </p><p>80% of you will feel better the moment you stop drinking and eating poisons.</p><p><strong>&#128591;You Are the Medicine, Sweet Soul</strong></p><p>&#128591;Healing begins when you realize you are not broken. </p><p>You do not need to be cured of a label because you are having logical responses to unnatural conditions. </p><p>When you reclaim your environment, clean up what goes into your body and step into peace, you realize that you are the medicine.</p><p><strong>&#128591;My Focus: P.A.R.E.N.T.S.</strong></p><p>While I support every victim and survivor on every step of their path, my dedicated focus and heart remain with P.A.R.E.N.T.S.:</p><ul><li><p><strong>P</strong>eace</p></li><li><p><strong>A</strong>fter</p></li><li><p><strong>R</strong>ape</p></li><li><p><strong>E</strong>nding</p></li><li><p><strong>N</strong>arcissistic</p></li><li><p><strong>T</strong>rauma</p></li><li><p><strong>S</strong>uicides</p></li></ul><p><strong>&#128591;</strong>Narcissists leave a trail of suicide, victims and survivors.

This is not a drill and it is not a vague theory.</p><p>Right now, five slow-moving outer planets are locking into a tight, lopsided geometric pattern that French mathematician and astrologer Andr&#233; Barbault called &#8220;the basket.&#8221; </p><p>This incredibly rare alignment hits its exact, volatile peak between July 19 and July 21, 2026. </p><p>The alignment is so heavy it literally shifts the solar system&#8217;s centre of mass away from the sun. <br><br>Barbault spent his entire life tracking this data, proving that every single time this physical lopsidedness happens, human civilization undergoes a massive, unavoidable shock. <br><br>It marks a precise three-day window when the old world order breaks apart so something new can take its place. The last time the planets clustered tightly like this? January 2020.

I raised him to be an awesome, emotionally intelligent partner or father if that was what he chose. <br>We are two calm, cool and collected Souls leading a life of love with addiction peace. We still live with each other simply because we want to.</p><p>Addiction peace begins with the mother. Because of this foundation, Noah has never had a drop of booze or a puff of anything.</p><h3>Becoming a Health Detective in a Toxic World</h3><p>I had to become a brilliant health detective early in life when I was forced to become the third parent to emotionally unintelligent parents. </p><p>Be mindful, maternal moms and dads, that each child will have a entirely different relationship with you.</p><p>Growing up as a parentified, petrified problem solver and perfectionist, I constantly felt like a burden. I had an absent father who did not pay child support and a stressed mom who blamed me for the divorce.</p><p>This left me with deep abandonment issues while she and I held this man on a pedestal for 58 years. <br>Because of this environment, I carried lifelong suicidal ideation that began at age 5 and lasted until I was 58.</p><p>This painful developmental pattern repeatedly attracted similar emotionally unintelligent dark souls who also refused to pay support unless I dragged them to court. </p><p>Because I felt completely unwanted and deeply distrusted the medical system, I became proactive in my own health. </p><p>I watched man-made meds make my own mom medicated and miserable. I stayed away from them since the &#8216;80s, never relying on them to fix a broken environment.</p><p>Are you a firstborn &#8220;oops&#8221; baby who has clean medical labs, lives clean and stress cleans your house&#8212;yet your body feels like it is dying inside despite doing everything &#8220;right&#8221;? You care deeply about Mother Earth, you are actively practising and protecting your peace, yet you are completely collapsing from within.</p><p><a href="https://youtu.be/M2f2g33oTys?si=s2BiZwPVdVwJSK1U">This life-saving deep dive will help you frugally heal in 40 days.</a> &#128198; I personally had to execute this exact detox three times to walk without a cane in 4 months and completely ditch my glasses. In just 2 days, I was finally sleeping deeply after a lifetime of chronic insomnia.</p><h3>The Inherited Nervous System: Toxic Wombs and Sick Buildings</h3><p>If your mom didn&#8217;t tell you, I will: <br>if you were born into a toxic womb, you inherited a nervous system trapped in a wild, perpetual fright-or-flight, PTSD state from the very beginning.</p><p>Growing up or living in tense, mouldy, water-damaged homes or low-income, mouldy military bases with an absent father and a highly stressed mom means you share her exact nervous system. </p><p>You have CITS (Chronic Inherited Toxic Stress) and CIRS ( Chronic Inflammation Response Syndrome).<br><br>It is all connected, every single thing. Just like you and I are connected.<br>We are all nature. We are all energy. <br>Caffeine and Energy drinks will harm your DNA, along with anything from a can or plastic water bottle, causing hormonal chaos.</p><p>Did you know that Cancer, MS, Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, your shifting moods, food fears, your addiction of choice, chronic stress, mental and digestive distress are all deeply affected by your physical environment? </p><p>What you put into your body shifts your entire cellular energy.</p><p>How you manage your stress out of the Cell Danger Response (CDR) depends entirely on your ecosystem:</p><p>&#127823; <strong>The Food:</strong> From Mother Earth, not from a processed metal can.</p><p>&#128167; <strong>The Fluids:</strong> Pure water, kept far away from chemical plastic bottles.</p><p>&#129504; <strong>What You Think:</strong> Your brain only knows what you tell it, so be mindful of the thoughts you feed it. </p><p>Shift away from chronic stress by humming to regulate your nervous system. #humwithdee To restore calm in an instant.

recognizing the real biological cost of survival mode and reclaiming the heart space on Father&#8217;s Day</h2><p>Sweet Soul,</p><p>There comes a point in the journey where pouring absolutely everything into trying to heal a relationship just to be seen must stop.  <br><br>I tried for 59 years for my Dad to see me, he hasn&#8217;t. <br>He doesn&#8217;t have the emotional intelligence to care.<br>We attract the Father Wounds we have not yet healed.<br><br>For high-sensing souls, the sad truth is that the predators who abuse the temple are drowning, and they look specifically for a soul&#8217;s light to pull it down into the darkness with them.</p><p>Living under the constant threat of a predator, especially when it triggers the deep, unhealed father wounds from early protectors, forces the body into a permanent Cell Danger Response. <br><br>The cellular damage of this prolonged survival mode manifests as multiple addictions, severe digestive distress, insomnia, profound isolation and suicidal ideation.</p><p>Living in silence, trying desperately to numb the pain, becomes the only way to survive.</p><p>But cells will only ever know it is safe to heal when the body actively moves out of this constant state of stress. <br><br>Only the self can save the self. The ultimate lesson on this day is that all of that profound love must be turned inward to the soul and the inner child. <br><br>Always send grace to all, beginning with the self and the soul, for deep cellular renewal for a heart and earth rebirth. <br>As Within. So Without.<br><br>Five new videos on Youtube this week including, the root cause of Divorce,<br>VOL. 1 of the Biological Stillness Bible, how to heal Father and narcissist wounds.</p><h3>Grab the Free 5-Page Healing Guide</h3><p>To help recognize these counter-intuitive red flags, unmask the mirage of narcissistic abuse and protect the biological temple, a complete 5-page resource is ready.

being overfed but undernourished and a major update on Berry&#8217;s Biological Stillness Bible.</p><p>How are you sweet soul from 1-10?</p><p>Take a true breath before you answer that.</p><p>If Mom didn&#8217;t tell you, did you know that your body can only heal when it is in a completely paused, calm state?</p><p>Did you know that if your nervous system is stuck in a chronic survival response, your cells drop into a defensive lockdown called the cell danger response where they literally harden their membranes and refuse to heal?</p><p>For many first born who were born in a toxic womb, this c-ptsd response has been running since the womb. Your peace tree can&#8217;t heal till it knows it is safe to do so.</p><p>If you are feeling the quick, scattered energy of this Gemini New Moon, you aren&#8217;t alone. It is a time when the mind wants to race but your body is asking for something much deeper: <em><strong>grounding.</strong></em></p><p>Many of us are cat people, right?</p><p>Lifelong companions like Thumper are our greatest teachers along with our children. Look at how a cat purrs to regulate its body and heal its tissues&#8212;it is a natural frequency of peace.</p><p>As a human animal, you have the exact same built-in biohack: you can hum.</p><p>When stress hits&#8212;when the world feels too loud or the environmental toxins feel too heavy&#8212;that is the moment to start humming. It is the fastest way to drop out of the cell danger response, calm a scattered, overwhelmed mind and step back into the safety of your physical temple.</p><h3>The Science of the Cell Danger Response: Why Fasting Fails in a Crisis</h3><p>For the health detectives out there looking at the data, let&#8217;s talk about the foundation of cellular repair: The Cell Danger Response (CDR). When your body detects a threat&#8212;whether it is environmental mould, synthetic chemical toxicity, emotional trauma or chronic stress&#8212;your cells actively harden their membranes.</p><p>They stop producing energy, halt normal metabolism and drop into a defensive lockdown and why I had a bloated Buddha Belly life long as a primal personal trainer.</p><p>Your human animal must understand this: Healing only happens in a paused, calm state. If your nervous system is trapped in chronic fight-or-flight, your cells are stuck in CDR. Trying to force a prolonged, multi-day water fast while locked in this danger response causes more harm than good. The body perceives the lack of food as an additional life-threatening stressor, spiking cortisol and exhausting the adrenals.</p><p>You cannot starve a cell that is already fighting for its life. The system must first know it is finally safe to pause, drop its guard and heal. We do this by clearing synthetic scents, grounding our feet to Mother Earth and using the physical vibration of humming to switch the vagus nerve back into rest-and-digest mode.</p><p>I answer all your fasting questions on SKOOL @ PeacefulU.</p><h3>The Microbiomental Connection &amp; Reclaiming Your Sanctuary</h3><p>Your brain is your most energy-hungry organ. You are energy so you must be deeply mindful of what you are nurturing that energy with. The truth is, the only true fuel needed&#8212;the only fluids and energy that sustain us&#8212;come straight from Mother Earth.</p><p>We live in an overfed, undernourished society. For decades, listening to the body&#8217;s unique rhythm rather than a clock has been the only way I survived after 30 years of HEAVY drinking. This is how my lifestyle can be sustained on just $100 a month for food today.</p><p>But let&#8217;s be completely transparent about what it means to live on $100 a month for food when you are invisible to the system.</p><p>You might know what it feels like to not qualify for disability because there is not a single OHIP doctor who can diagnose environmental illness here in Canada&#8217;s Capital.</p><p>Conventional medicine simply does not have the diagnostic tools and the disability sector doesn&#8217;t even know what this biology is. I just wanted a pee test for toxin levels and they don&#8217;t have the tools. Functional medicine does because Mother Nature is our medicine cabinet.</p><p>And why is a diagnosis impossible? Because living a clean life, taking no medications and treating the body like a temple means labs come back completely clean.</p><p>On paper standard tests can&#8217;t find anything &#8220;wrong.&#8221;</p><p>When it has been this way for a lifetime, the system&#8217;s immediate default is to claim it is all mental.</p><p>Imagine presenting an active autonomic flare right there in the doctor&#8217;s office, only for the physician to look at the charts, look away, nod and ask your partner, &#8220;Is this mental?&#8221;</p><p>A simple nod yes and off you are sent for another mental health evaluation where you end up being the teacher because you already know how to heal c-ptsd responses holistically.</p><p>A lifelong fear of doctors is a natural response when you witness how they treat mothers and children. So you stop going. You search for the root cause on your own.</p><p>The system fails people like us because we make up only 1.1% of the population. We are the High Sensing Souls whose nervous systems and cellular blueprints do not fit into mass-produced clinical boxes. Because they cannot measure this precision with their outdated tools, they write us off.</p><p>Survival forces you to become your own doctor.</p><p>And for the parentified Souls who grew up showing up as people-pleasers, serving to survive and leading a life of love, a heavy truth remains.</p><p>You can pour love into so many souls, yet not a single one asks how you are doing over a two-year period while you grow weaker each day.</p><p>If you are carrying that exact same quiet ache right now, sweet soul, please know I see you.</p><p>It is the kind of profound exhaustion that led my son Noah and me to sit down and hold each other through one of the most tender, difficult conversations a mother and child can have.</p><p>We had to softly face the reality of this physical temple growing weaker. I looked at my beautiful boy and told him with all the love in my heart that there won&#8217;t be a funeral.</p><p>I am choosing to donate my body to science so they can take care of the rest and lift that final earthly burden from his shoulders.</p><p>Even through that grief, those loved ones who drifted away are still held daily in Loving Kindness prayers. It is a gentle realization that souls who are disconnected from their own inner child care simply cannot connect vulnerably with another.</p><p>When isolation by the world feels that heavy, your daily nourishment becomes your ultimate sanctuary. If the world will not protect your biology, you must protect it yourself with what you put into your temple.</p><p>Mainstream perspectives will look at eating once a day and relying on just five safe foods to survive a distressed belly as an eating disorder. </p><p>But that one meal a day triggers autophagy&#8212;the body&#8217;s natural cellular cleanup&#8212;which is exactly what keeps a system alive through years of heavy stress or heavy drinking. When the body actually needs nourishment, it is fed. It is never deprived but it is rarely hungry.</p><p>Fun Fact: Longer fasts when fighting something actually provide more energy. To be completely clear, this means a strict water fast supported by raw, healing teas.</p><p>In moments of absolute crisis, I did a three-week fast with a 1/4 tsp of baking soda, this gives the system the space to completely overhaul itself.</p><p>But this can only happen when the nervous system has been safely paused and calmed out of the Cell Danger Response.</p><p>We stay in bed with the DBM-5 to cry out stored trauma, I cried for 7 weeks, it is a sacred time to rest and to only serve you and your cells. The DBM-5 course is on Youtube as well for the health detectives.</p><div id="youtube2-cJeKigcBvC4" class="youtube-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;videoId&quot;:&quot;cJeKigcBvC4&quot;,&quot;startTime&quot;:null,&quot;endTime&quot;:null}" data-component-name="Youtube2ToDOM"><div class="youtube-inner"><iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/cJeKigcBvC4?rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;enablejsapi=0" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" gesture="media" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowautoplay="true" allowfullscreen="true" width="728" height="409"></iframe></div></div><p>When the body is properly regulated, a 3&#8211;5 day water and healing tea fast once a month when needed is the magic window for deep cellular healing for women.</p><p>It takes roughly 72 hours for a down-regulated nervous system to safely signal the immune system to clear out old white blood cells and regenerate new ones without triggering a spike in cortisol.</p><p>For men, the biological timeline behaves differently due to a distinct hormonal baseline. The optimal window for this deep cellular and immune reset typically peaks around a 3-day fast, hitting that sweet spot between 48 and 72 hours where stem cell activation peaks.</p><p>Alignment with these natural laws changes everything. It happened for me in May 2019, a date that completely altered my lifelong work and became what is called a true Microbiome Milestone.</p><p>After choosing sobriety in 2017, the time came to enter a specialized outpatient program for mental health in 2019 because I was wanting to expire before I desired.</p><p>The conventional system laid out its strict rules and dictated a long three-year timeline for eating disorder recovery, especially with the clinical odds stacked against a woman over 50.</p><p>But right at that exact same moment, in May 2019, landmark, massive research on the human microbiome was published. It felt like a direct wink from Mother Earth, confirming what intuition already deeply knew: our gut, our stools and our mental health are all completely connected through the microbiomental axis.</p><p>By quietly ignoring their rigid timelines, treating the gut as the absolute foundation and working with biology, that heavy three-year recovery sentence was cut by two-thirds. </p><p>There was no need to stay trapped in their system for three years. Graduation came in just one year in March 2020 when COVID hit and I have been serving silent observers in crisis, silently each day ever since.</p><h3>Grounding for the Months Ahead</h3><p>Astrologer Pam Gregory has shared that we are entering a historic three-month period across June, July and August. Cosmic shifts are coming that will challenge global food supplies and agriculture.</p><p>Instead of moving into fear, take your power back. Get your hands into the soil, plant your own food and connect with the dirt. If you want a bit of laughter while learning to love the earth, watch Zach Galifianakis in <em>This Is a Gardening Show</em> on Netflix. Getting dirty is medicine.</p><h3>Protecting My Energy: A Deep Community Update</h3><p>There are a lot of moving pieces in this world right now. Behind the scenes, individuals navigating severe crisis are being supported every single day. To protect this biology and ensure the ability to show up for those who need it most, there will be an intentional pull-back with less content across the main feeds this summer.</p><p>The primary focus right now is completing Berry&#8217;s Biological Bible (our Buddhist Biological Bible) for you. I will connect with you all once a month with articles.</p><p>This book is a sacred legacy project meant for my first-born son, Noah and for you. You need to know what you don&#8217;t know about your own body, your environment and your power.</p><p>Because this information is so vital, it will not be held back until final publication. Each chapter will be released raw and in real-time inside our PeacefulU community on SKOOL. If you want to read along as the chapters are poured out, that is where you need to be. The founding rate is good till Sept. 5th when the price goes to 55.00 when the Bible is out.</p><h3>Connect With Me Daily</h3><p>While main posts will be fewer, you can still tune into the daily rhythm on YouTube for fresh community updates, videos and daily Shorts dropping at 7:00 PM on Sat &amp; Sun. If my energy is weak, I have to pause to protect me first so at times there might not be shares at 7pm.</p><p>Here is the live weekend sanctuary schedule:</p><ul><li><p><strong>Saturday Night @ 7:00 PM:</strong> Couch Chats with Momma Lovey &amp; Thumper. We deep-dive into the &#8220;what your mom didn&#8217;t tell you&#8221; topics, environmental healing and how to protect your temple while listening to the new songs I wrote for our Peace for Geese mission, saving our own before March 17 2027.</p></li><li><p><strong>Sunday Night @ 7:00 PM:</strong> Sober Soul Songs. This is where the nervous system lullabies and original music tracks live to help you vibrate at a higher frequency. You can also find new music weekly here for your favourite streaming service: <a href="https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/mommaloveypeace/momma-loveys-light-geese-for-peace">https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/mommaloveypeace/momma-loveys-light-geese-for-peace</a></p></li></ul><p>We have 7 songs for the label to date and the videos are on youtube each Sunday.</p><p>This brings great glee. A nice balance from the daily crisis support along with officiating Buddhist weddings.</p><p>Take a deep breath. Start humming. Get your hands in the dirt. You are exactly where you need to be.</p><p>Are you ready to hum and heal?</p><p>You are the medicine sweet soul. You got this. You are Love. You are Peace. You are the Medicine.</p><p>Sending Loving Kindness from Canada&#8217;s Capital, Dee :) <br>I am rooting for you and your inner child. We got this!<br><br><strong>A mindful note:</strong> I have closed all comments for our silent observers to protect our cells from reactive souls. If you are in crisis reach out to me on LinkedIn at Destresswithdeesos I help souls for free because I believe healthcare should be accessible to all including the homeless who I am trying to reach the most. <br><br></p><iframe class="spotify-wrap album" data-attrs="{&quot;image&quot;:&quot;https://i.scdn.co/image/ab67616d0000b2735a8913d741c16be880273f0c&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;Don't Fear

type="image/jpeg"/><content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>In Honour of Another Firstborn: Gone Too Soon, Claude Lemieux.</h3><p>The hockey world is in absolute shock. Just days ago, Claude Lemieux was standing on the ice at the Montreal Canadiens game, smiling, laughing and carrying the ceremonial torch. To the untrained eye, he was full of life.<br><br>To his teammates and friends, he was the ultimate, unbreakable Type A warrior.</p><p>But I have spent 50 years as a peace pathologist of the human condition and a root-cause Buddhist biohacker of my own health. I can see behind the smile. It is the exact reason the late Shaun Simpson and I connected back in the day before we lost touch while I was fighting to save my own life since 2013.</p><p>When an intense, hyper-vigilant athlete suddenly exits this world, society rushes to label it purely as a &#8220;mental health crisis.&#8221; They tell people to &#8220;reach out.&#8221; But what happens when the system itself completely ignores the physical, inflamed engine driving the dark thoughts?</p><p>This article is specifically for those who are suffering with dark thoughts right now and are wondering <em>why</em>&#8212;especially when you have clean labs, live clean, eat clean, lead a life of love, have a genuine joy for life, movement and spend your days in service to others.</p><h3>Raised in the Fire: My 58-Year Biological History</h3><p>Since the age of five, I have had an inflamed brain. I grew up on a mouldy military base after being raised in a toxic womb and having my tonsils out at just six months of age. </p><p>As the firstborn in my family, I received the highest toxic flush in the womb, inheriting a nervous system primed from day one for hyper-vigilance.</p><p>On top of the environmental poisoning, I suffered unspeakable traumas from a young age. I was raised in a very tense home with an absent, abandoning father. My childhood was not rooted in love; our family didn&#8217;t say &#8220;I love you&#8221; or give hugs. To make matters worse, every single home and gym I ever lived and worked in had mould in it.<br><br>I also have learned that when you have mould illness and sick building syndrome that Canada&#8217;s Capital is the mouldiest place to live for our lungs all year round.  <br>Learn more in today&#8217;s video and dbm-5 deep dives on Spotify.</p><p>My mom had exactly what I had. It is a physical, cellular reality: histamine overload, the HLA-DRG gene, the MTHFR gene mutation and POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome). <br><br>This is Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS). This is what I have been dealing with my entire life and it is what millions of you are suffering through without even knowing it because the doctors keep pointing to your head and telling you it is mental.</p><p>It is not mental. It is environmental illness.</p><p>For most of my life, I could only eat five foods because of severe digestive stress. I lived with constant mental distress, loving dark souls who betrayed me on the regular, chronic stress as an athlete and a type-A working 3 jobs as a single mom. <br><br>Chronic stress is the absolute root cause of all disease. Athletes are at great danger and why MS is on the rise and why I had MS type symptoms that I reversed in 4 months. No meds needed.<br><br>Many high sensing souls also have misophonia&#8212;a severe sensitivity to sound linked to a specific gene in the brain&#8212;your brain is locked on high alert 24/7, making you an incredibly light sleeper. Misophonia is directly linked to dark thoughts because the nervous system never gets a single second of biological stillness.</p><p>For decades, I thought my lifelong depression, acute anxiety, deep fear and being completely petrified all my life was simply because of C-PTSD and my childhood traumas. But it wasn&#8217;t. </p><p>My body is a highly sensitive biological instrument and those dark thoughts were my brain on fire, warning me of danger.</p><h3>Out-Running, Out-Playing and Out-Loving the Trauma</h3><p>For thirty years, I tried to out-pace the noise. High-achieving, Type A firstborns do this naturally&#8212;when the internal pressure builds, the default response is to push harder, train longer and out-perform the darkness.</p><p>We try to out-play, out-run, out-lift, out-work, out-eat or drown our sorrows in booze, out-shop and out-love trauma.</p><p>But you cannot out-manipulate biology. Eventually, the body runs out of resources to suppress the exhaustion. In 2017, I decided I wanted to live in c-ptsd peace. I reversed all of my lifelong symptoms.</p><p>How? I stopped trying to out-play or out-love toxic souls who greedily take your energy when they need you but are nowhere to be found when you need them. I stepped offline, cooled my nervous system and built a strict, non-negotiable rule to protect my inner child, my cells, my soul and Mother Earth:</p><blockquote><p><strong>The Compost Rule:</strong> If it doesn&#8217;t go in the compost bin, it doesn&#8217;t go within or on our human animal.</p></blockquote><p>You cannot heal in the same environment that is making you sick. Many of you are sitting in homes, offices or rehab facilities right now that are filled with mould in air tight containers and you will never get better if you have CIRS and the HLA-DR gene until you change your environment.<br><br>Be mindful reno work is very toxic for your brain because of all the dust. I presented MAID papers to my doctor Thanksgiving 2022 because I hadn&#8217;t slept in months because of a major reno for months to remove mould on all levels of my home. <br><br>Mould loves dust and will cause souls to want to expire before we desire because doctors can&#8217;t find what is wrong with us.<br><br>You can&#8217;t heal in the same environment that is making you sick.</p><h3>The Firstborn Burden and Sibling Responsibility</h3><p>While we do not have an official obituary confirming if Claude Lemieux was the absolute oldest child, records show he was the older brother to fellow NHLer Jocelyn Lemieux and they had a brother, Serge, who required institutional care for cerebral palsy. </p><p>If he was indeed the firstborn, he carried that exact same double burden. He was a parentified caretaker who learned early on that he had to be the strong one who never cracked.</p><p>Once the initial shock of this sudden loss wears off, give yourself absolute grace and the time to cry a lot. Grief is simply love in motion but it takes an immense amount of physical energy to process and heal.</p><p>I know this exhaustion intimately. In September 2024, after a lifetime of keeping a stiff upper lip, my system experienced a total body collapse. I cried for seven straight weeks. My body was finally forcing me to release what my mind had been suppressing.</p><p>This is why I teach biological stillness&#8212;to show you how to safely detox stored grief, emotional trauma and physical toxins from the cells up. The heavy armour you have worn for decades to survive does not need to stay on anymore. To heal the soul, we cannot keep fighting outward; we must drop the shield, let go and go within.</p><p>If your cells are currently screaming for stillness, please know that you do not have to out-run the darkness alone. <br><br>Below is the video I uploaded today&#8212;the Coles Notes version of my DBM-5 method path to C-PTSD peace.  Let your human animal finally rest.</p><div id="youtube2-cJeKigcBvC4" class="youtube-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;videoId&quot;:&quot;cJeKigcBvC4&quot;,&quot;startTime&quot;:null,&quot;endTime&quot;:null}" data-component-name="Youtube2ToDOM"><div class="youtube-inner"><iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/cJeKigcBvC4?rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;enablejsapi=0" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" gesture="media" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowautoplay="true" allowfullscreen="true" width="728" height="409"></iframe></div></div><p><br>Sending a 21 second hug from my heart to yours,<br>You are not alone.<br>Dee Anne Berry<br><br><a href="https://youtube.com/shorts/0_oIOVVEWcI">Geese for Peace filmed under the rare double moon today.</a><br><strong>PS:</strong>  I am uploading a song most Sundays at 7pm for Geese for Peace, our mission to change MAID, disability and create a No Scent Law, finding fellow rare birds who do no harm to our cells, soul and mother earth&#8217;s soil, living the Buddhist Way.<br><br>Be mindful addiction peace begins with the parents, my son hasn&#8217;t had a drop of booze or a puff of anything because we had the conversation daily since he was 7.</p><p>DBM-5 provides the path to addiction peace.</p><p></p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Clean Labs, Clean Living and Dying Inside: The DBM-5 Map ]]></title><description><![CDATA[Mould, microbiome, it&#8217;s not mental illness or menopause Monday.]]></description><link>https://deesdharma.destresswithdee.love/p/clean-labs-clean-living-and-dying</link><guid isPermaLink="false">https://deesdharma.destresswithdee.love/p/clean-labs-clean-living-and-dying</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[Momma Lovey Peace☮️🌎💜]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 25 May 2026 17:11:28 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/0e68ab8e-25fc-4690-8096-34a1089a52cc_1376x768.jpeg" length="0" type="image/jpeg"/><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Why Type-A, high-sensing feelers face 40+ leaky body barriers and C-PTSD in a locked Cell Danger Response&#8212;and the natural protocol to reclaim biological stillness.</strong></p><p>Be mindful to follow me here on Substack so you don&#8217;t miss future shares, notes and live sessions.

Yet, I was still dying inside.</p><p>What I discovered changed my life and it will change yours: your worth is not in the push. It is in the <strong>pause and the paws</strong> for your human animal.</p><h3>The Canary in the Coal Mine</h3><p>Many of us who are type-A, sober vegan athletes, healers and high-sensing feelers are actually biological prophets. We became the &#8220;third parent&#8221; to emotionally unavailable parents, which conditioned us into a lifetime of people-pleasing, problem-solving and a perma-smile.</p><p>But our bodies are highly tuned. We hear, smell, feel and sense everything. We are warning systems for environmental danger, toxic souls, mould and sick building syndrome. Because many of us were born into a toxic womb to a stressed mother, we inherited her high-alert nervous system.</p><p>By age 40, this constant state of threat leaves us with 40+ leaky body barriers (including leaky gut) and a locked Cell Danger Response. Chronic stress is the root of all dis-ease.<br>I needed glasses at age 40, leaky eyes and I no longer need glasses at 59.5 and my cells are 41.</p><h3>Returning to Biological Stillness</h3><p>If you have lived with a bloated belly, insomnia, acute pain, deep exhaustion or misophonia (a high sensitivity to sounds that signals the brain into a state of panic), you are not alone. When I was in crisis and near death and the broken OHIP system in Ontario could not help me, I stopped pushing. I chose biological stillness for 40 days in bed.</p><p>In today&#8217;s deep dive episode of the podcast, I share the exact frugal protocol that saved my life.

From the two large glasses you drink to rehydrate your dehydrated cells upon waking to the cold water you splash on your pulse points to stop a histamine flare in its tracks, water is your primary biological medicine.</em></h4><div><hr></div><p><strong>SOS: Soothing Our Souls &amp; Saving Our Soil</strong></p><p>For the Rare Birds, the Sober Sunflowers and the Health Detectives.</p><p>This is for the firstborns&#8212;those who have spent a lifetime mothering the world, now learning how to mother our own soul, cells and soil after a lifetime of trauma and stored toxins in our tissues since the womb.</p><p>We have spent a lifetime in Cell Danger Response, being hunted by predators.</p><p>We are taking our peace back, loving our cells and leaky bodies and soothing our souls back to health. </p><p>When you live with CIRS (Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome), MCAS, have the MTHFR &amp; HLA-DR gene and with histamine overload you are a &#8220;canary in the coal mine.&#8221;</p><p>In our Non-Toxic Nest, we don&#8217;t put anything on or in our human animal if it doesn&#8217;t fit the <strong>Compost Rule</strong>: if it doesn&#8217;t go in the compost bin, it doesn&#8217;t go in or on our skin.</p><p>This is what I have been using for decades as my daily antibiotic. </p><p>If I feel something coming on, I take two servings&#8212;one tablespoon in the morning and one with my last tea of the day. We only drink fluids made by the sun; it is the only &#8220;energy drink&#8221; we need.</p><p>I have never had coffee and I even worked at the second cup in the 80&#8217;s when I was homeless.</p><p>We do not need it. My son has never had coffee either. When you wake up drink two large glasses of water because you are dehydrated after sleep.</p><p>With only 9% of waste being recycled globally, we must be the solution to Save our Soil.</p><p><strong>As Within, So Without.</strong></p><h3>&#9888;&#65039; THE SACRED DISCLAIMER</h3><p><strong>This is potent biological medicine. If you are taking any man-made synthetic medications, do not use the natural antibiotic tonic. It is powerful enough to interfere with pharmaceutical chemistry. This is for those who are currently medicine-free.</strong></p><h3>The Science of the &#8220;Energy Drink&#8221; Protocol</h3><p>Since we practice OMAD, the Buddhist way of eating, every liquid is a <strong>Biological Offering</strong>.  </p><p>We are feeding our cells the light and information they need to thrive. Here is why we choose these healing fluids:</p><p><strong>The Morning Green Tea, Apple Cider Vinegar &amp; Lemon Ritual:</strong></p><ul><li><p><strong>The Science:</strong> Green tea is rich in EGCG (Epigallocatechin gallate), a powerful polyphenol that stabilizes mast cells&#8212;crucial for MCAS&#8212;and supports the MTHFR methylation pathway. Adding lemon juice provides Vitamin C, which acts as a co-factor to increase the bio-availability of the tea&#8217;s antioxidants by up to 13 times.</p></li></ul><p><strong>The Ritual:</strong> Use an old-style glass juicer to keep your process non-toxic and plastic-free.</p><p><strong>Frugal Tip:</strong> Keep using your loose leaf teas or tea bags until the colour runs clear; those later steeps continue to provide vital hydration and subtle minerals.</p><p><strong>The Smile &amp; Soul Tip:</strong> To protect your enamel&#8212;especially important for keeping all your original teeth and wisdom teeth as I have at 59.5&#8212;always use a metal straw. Don&#8217;t swoosh your tea around your teeth; instead, sip and swoosh it in your cheeks if you wish before you swallow. We are mindful when we eat and drink now for the <strong>Sacred Pause</strong>.</p><p>These are gifts from Mother Nature. If you can enjoy your tea and meal while looking out a window at the trees or the sky, it is lovely for the nervous system too. Sending gratitude in this moment for this healing tea from Mother Earth.</p><p>Sip from the side of your mouth to ease the repetitive motion that causes wrinkles above the lip, preserving your &#8220;calling card&#8221; perma-smile. I am blessed with an upside smile on top of my upper lip too (-;</p><p><strong>The Supergreens Boost:</strong></p><ul><li><p><strong>The Science:</strong> For the HLA-DR detective, chlorophyll and probiotics help bind to biotoxins in the gut so they can be excreted rather than recirculated. Adding it to hot water (not boiling) increases solubility and eases the digestive load on a &#8220;leaky&#8221; gut.</p></li></ul><p><strong>The ACV Rule:</strong></p><ul><li><p><strong>The Science:</strong> Apple Cider Vinegar contains acetic acid which improves insulin sensitivity and stomach acid pH. However, if it has &#8220;The Mother,&#8221; it is a living probiotic.</p></li><li><p><strong>Note:</strong> Boiling water kills the living beneficial bacteria (the microbiome &#8220;workers&#8221;) your system needs to fight histamine overload. Use warm water only with a capful in your teas.</p></li></ul><h3>The Natural &#8220;Antibiotic&#8221; Tonic</h3><p>This is our foundation for navigating chronic flares without synthetic interference.</p><p><strong>The Science of the Roots</strong></p><ul><li><p><strong>Garlic:</strong> Contains Allicin, which is nature&#8217;s broad-spectrum antibiotic and antifungal. It helps the MTHFR body produce glutathione&#8212;the master antioxidant.</p></li><li><p><strong>Ginger:</strong> A potent inhibitor of pro-inflammatory cytokines. It moves the body out of Cell Danger Response by soothing the Vagus nerve and reducing internal heat.</p></li><li><p><strong>Turmeric (The Golden Healer):</strong> Contains Curcumin, the &#8220;master switch&#8221; for inflammation in CIRS and MCAS. If funds allow, add 3 to 4 inches of fresh turmeric root to this batch.</p></li></ul><p><strong>Daily Dosing</strong></p><ul><li><p><strong>The Daily Handshake:</strong> 1 tablespoon of the liquid gold tonic in your healing tea. Don&#8217;t do more of a good thing, like I did. You will have loose stools.</p></li><li><p><strong>The SOS Pulse:</strong> One dose each morning and one more later in the day if you feel a &#8220;leaky&#8221; flare, MCAS trigger or illness coming on.</p></li></ul><p><strong>The Protocol</strong></p><ol><li><p><strong>In the Blender:</strong> 1 whole &#8220;naked&#8221; peeled garlic bulb, 2 large unpeeled ginger roots (and turmeric if available) with 2 cups of cooled, previously boiled water.<br>Cut away any dark mould parts on skin and the rest is still great. The skin is valuable for our cells.</p></li><li><p><strong>The Extraction:</strong> Strain through a cloth or strainer into a Mason Jar.</p></li><li><p><strong>The &#8220;Gold&#8221; Pulp:</strong> Spoon the leftovers into Stainless Steel Ice Cube Trays. Never use plastic; we cannot afford the xenoestrogens leaching into our medicine.</p></li><li><p><strong>The Zero-Waste Boost:</strong> Drop a frozen &#8220;pulp cube&#8221; into soup or a mug of boiling water for a fibre-rich, healing boost later.</p></li></ol><h3>The Ritual of Connection (Anxiety Release)</h3><p>For those healing from eating responses, the kitchen is often a &#8220;Shark Tank.&#8221; By using your hands to smash the garlic and shake the jar, you are parenting your inner child. </p><p>You are teaching your nervous system that food is safety, not a threat after a life time of food fears.  Our intelligent bodies were warning us of dangerous foods for our  body overloaded with toxins and traumas. </p><p>Hum when in the kitchen for your vagus nerve to move your body into parasympathetic stress.<br><br><a href="https://youtu.be/N13VoMsRbKc">In this Video Discover the science-backed truths about nutrition</a> <br><br>and how whole foods can transform your health! It is in Skool at PeacefulU and normally unlisted on YouTube. I will leave it public for this month. <br><br>Guided by the wisdom shared by the inspiring team at https://foodrevolution.org/ <br><br>with the very kind Late John Robbins, we shared the same brain. I miss you our long talks. <br><br>He granted me permission to share this video, featuring his son the wonderful Ocean Robbins&#128591; <br><br>Be mindful when you are in a cell danger response with CIRS, CDR, MCAS, histamine overload and diverticulitis, even certain healthy foods will cause harm.</p><p><em><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QU43Ou9W9qw">Learn why here:</a><br><br></em><strong>&#9888;&#65039; THE HISTAMINE &amp; DETOX ALERT</strong></p><p>For my fellow <strong>Health Detectives</strong> navigating an acute <strong>MCAS</strong> flare or the <strong>40-Day Detox</strong>:</p><p>While these ingredients are powerful biological healers, our &#8220;Canary&#8221; bodies sometimes require a different timing.</p><ul><li><p><strong>Green Tea Warning:</strong> If you are currently experiencing high histamine (hives, flushing, nausea or dizziness), skip the green tea. For some of us, green tea can act as a <strong>DAO inhibitor</strong>, meaning it slows down your body&#8217;s ability to clear histamine.</p></li><li><p><strong>Listen to Your Human Animal:</strong> If you have ever had a severe reaction to green tea (like fainting or vomiting), your body is telling you its &#8220;bucket&#8221; is full. Trust that signal.</p></li><li><p><strong>The 40-Day Detox:</strong> During an active detox, your body is already busy moving old toxins out of your tissues. If you feel &#8220;leaky&#8221; or overwhelmed, simplify. Stick to pure, cooled water or ginger-only tea until your nervous system finds its <strong>Sacred Pause</strong>.</p></li></ul><div><hr></div><h3><strong>Is it safe?</strong></h3><ul><li><p><strong>Ginger &amp; Turmeric:</strong> Generally safe and actually help lower histamine and inflammation.</p></li><li><p><strong>Lemon &amp; ACV:</strong> These are <strong>histamine liberators</strong>. They aren&#8217;t high in histamine themselves, but they can &#8220;encourage&#8221; your mast cells to release it. If someone is in a severe MCAS flare, they should use these very cautiously or wait until they are more stable.</p></li></ul><p>You are doing the work of a warrior by mothering others while your own nerves are shot.<br><br>Please protect your own soil first today.<br><strong>Your worth is in the pause</strong>, not the push.</p><p><strong>Biological Stillness over the Shark Tank.</strong></p><p>We are soothing our stomachs (SOS),<br>saving our soil (SOS), <br>parenting our cells to Save Our Soul (SOS) after a lifetime of traumas by the system.</p><p>If it doesn&#8217;t
