A world-renowned natural healer just dropped truth bombs that will transform everything you think about healing.

@BarbaraOneillAU revealed why modern medicine fails millions—and how nature's remedies cure "incurable" conditions.

Here are 14 healing insights you need to know: Image
@BarbaraOneillAU Most parents face a moment when doctors prescribe medication they don't feel right about giving their child.

Barbara's journey began when antibiotics failed her daughter's ear infection.

After 5 useless courses, she turned to an 85-year-old neighbor's wisdom instead.
@BarbaraOneillAU 1. Natural remedies often work where modern medicine fails.

When Barbara's neighbor suggested steaming an onion for her son's earache, it worked in just 2 hours.

This simple, forgotten wisdom sparked her journey into natural healing approaches our ancestors used for centuries.
@BarbaraOneillAU 2. Your body has an incredible built-in healing system.

Barbara's approach focuses on activating this system through 9 key pillars of health:

1. Sunshine
2. Water
3. Sleep
4. Trust in God
5. Abstaining from toxins
6. Proper breathing
7. Nutrition
8. Moderation
9. Exercise
@BarbaraOneillAU 3. Your gut microbiome is incredibly specific.

Different microorganisms digest different foods—each vegetable and legume requires its own bacteria.

When introducing new foods that cause bloating, start with tiny amounts and gradually increase as your microbiome adapts.
@BarbaraOneillAU Ginger is a microbiome superfood that strengthens your gut's healing power.

It soothes inflammation, supports your gut lining, and improves bacterial diversity.

High-quality organic ginger helps prevent autoimmune issues with it's anti-inflammatory properties. Image

@BarbaraOneillAU Want to try this?

I recommend HANDPICK Organic Ginger Tea for the convenience:

↳ Caffeine-free with a soothing taste
↳Trusted by 15,540 4.5/5 Star Reviews
↳ 100% pure ginger root, not artificial flavoring or extracts

Support your gut naturally:

@BarbaraOneillAU 4. Sunshine is your natural medicine.

Despite mainstream warnings, sun exposure is critical for health.

The key? Start with just 15 minutes per side, then seek shade. Gradually increase as your skin adapts.

No sunscreen needed—just know your limits and build tolerance slowly.
@BarbaraOneillAU 5. Water therapy can transform your health.

Beyond drinking (best between meals, not with food), water as therapy is powerful:

↳ 15 minutes steam
↳ Cold plunge
↳ Repeat 3x
↳ End with cold

This equalizes circulation and boosts immunity better than most medications.
@BarbaraOneillAU 6. Sleep follows nature's perfect formula: 8-8-8.

8 hours work, 8 hours play, 8 hours sleep.

Going to bed after 10pm means missing critical hormones like melatonin that repair your body and slow aging.

Reset gradually by moving bedtime 30 minutes earlier each day.
@BarbaraOneillAU Now, Barbara recorded a 2-hour deep dive on natural healing on the George Janko podcast.

If you'd like to understand how to heal your body without pharmaceuticals...

RT this and comment "BARBARA" - I'll DM you the video.

But first, let's continue with more of her insights: Image
@BarbaraOneillAU 7. Modern wheat is not what God created.

Today's hybridized wheat has altered protein structures that didn't exist 60 years ago.

This explains the explosion of gluten intolerance, weight gain, and diabetes.

Try ancient grains like spelt or true sourdough instead.
@BarbaraOneillAU 8. Excess carbs, not fat, cause weight gain.

The typical Western diet (cereal, toast, sandwiches, pasta) forces your body to store excess glucose as visceral fat.

Focus on fiber, protein, and healthy fats. Eat biggest meals at breakfast and lunch, lightest at dinner.
@BarbaraOneillAU 9. Herbs work with your body; drugs override it.

Conventional medicine: "We evolved, cannot heal, need drugs."
Natural approach: "We were created with self-healing bodies, supported by herbs."

Drugs command: "Get out of my way!"
Herbs ask: "Where would you like help?"
@BarbaraOneillAU 10. Women's hormone issues are fixable without drugs.

PCOS, fibroids, and cysts often stem from hormone imbalance—frequently linked to contraceptive pill use.

Wild yam cream & castor oil applied to skin can naturally restore balance where conventional treatments fail.
@BarbaraOneillAU Spearmint tea is also powerful medicine for PCOS.

Studies show drinking it twice daily lowers testosterone while raising LH/FSH hormones.

This simple herb corrects female hormonal imbalances naturally. Easy to start—just brew as a tea. Image

@BarbaraOneillAU HANDPICK Spearmint Tea sets the standard for mint purity:

↳ Trusted by 15,540 4.5/5 Star Reviews
↳100% pure spearmint leaves, no synthetic mint flavoring
↳ Refreshing herbal blend that's naturally caffeine-free & non-GMO

Experience real mint:

amazon.com/SPEARMINT%20TE…
@BarbaraOneillAU 11. Nose breathing transforms oxygen delivery.

Mouth breathing reduces oxygen by 18% and triggers stress responses.

Practice nose breathing even during sleep.

It expands nasal passages and activates your parasympathetic (calming) nervous system.
@BarbaraOneillAU 12. The liver can fully recover with proper support.

Bitter herbs like dandelion and milk thistle stimulate liver regeneration.

The saying "bitter to the mouth, sweet to the liver" highlights how bitter-tasting plants support this vital detox organ.
@BarbaraOneillAU 13. Most blood tests create unnecessary fear.

Results vary widely based on recent sleep, hydration, stress, and diet.

Barbara's approach: address symptoms, not numbers. Focus on what your body tells you rather than becoming dependent on tests.
@BarbaraOneillAU 14. Nature provides perfect multivitamins better than any supplement.

Look for nutrient-dense superfoods like beef liver, organ meats or moringa.

Moringa is especially beneficial:

↳ 17× the calcium of milk
↳ 4x the vitamin A of carrots
↳ 7x the vitamin C of oranges
@BarbaraOneillAU I recommend HANDPICK Organic Moringa Tea.

It's is the gold standard for moringa

↳ 100% pure moringa leaves from authentic Indian origin
↳ 100 eco-conscious tea bags, caffeine-free
↳ Trusted by 15,540 4.5/5 Star Reviews

Try nature's multi-vitamin:

amazon.com/MORINGA%20TEA-…
@BarbaraOneillAU That's a wrap! For deeper understanding of natural healing principles, look for Barbara's book "Sustain Me" - a handbook every home needs.

PCOS isn't just about irregular periods.

It's a metabolic condition that affects your skin, hair, weight, mood, and long-term health.

Yet 99% of doctors will tell you to "just lose weight".

Here's what women’s health nutrionist—Dr. Hazel Wallace—says is missing: Image
Image
First, let's clear up the name confusion.

PCOS stands for polycystic ovary syndrome, but not all women with PCOS have polycystic ovaries.

And having polycystic ovaries doesn't mean you have PCOS.

The name is misleading and needs to change.
Why is PCOS bad for women?

It disrupts your hormone signals.

Your ovaries make too much testosterone. Your body can't use insulin properly.

High insulin triggers more testosterone. More testosterone disrupts ovulation.

It's a vicious cycle that affects everything.

You've been told cortisol is bad for you. That's WRONG.

Cortisol isn't a stress hormone - it's an energy hormone.

Its main job is getting glucose to your brain, helping clear brain fog and boost focus.

Here's Dr. Huberman's explanation on how it works: Image
Image
How cortisol works in your body:

A brain area called the hypothalamus sends signals to your pituitary gland.

Your pituitary then signals your adrenal glands.

Your adrenals make and release cortisol into your blood.
Cortisol has a built-in timer that runs itself.

When cortisol gets high, it tells your brain "stop making more."

When it gets low, your brain says "time to make more."

This creates a daily pattern that repeats every 24 hours.

Brain fog isn't just "being tired."

Dr. Rhonda Patrick breaks down the two hidden mechanisms that activate when you have it.

Here’s the breakdown on what they are (and how to make sure they’re working optimally): Image
Image
Brain fog is when your thoughts feel slow and unclear.

It's a reduction in mental clarity that Dr. Rhonda Patrick says comes down to one thing:

Food.

Every meal triggers blood sugar spikes and inflammation that directly mess with your brain's ability to think clearly.
Now, there are two things happen when you eat that make your brain foggy.

First: Your blood sugar goes up and down like a roller coaster.
Second: Your body gets inflamed after meals.

Both mess with how well your brain works.

Getting sick every winter isn't bad luck—it's a sign of WEAK immunity.

Most immune weakness comes from other problems in your body. Fix those root causes, and you can strengthen your immunity naturally.

Here are the absolute best ways to strengthen your immunity:
Firstly, your immune system has two parts working together:

1. Innate immunity (first response)
2. Adaptive immunity (makes antibodies)

When these fail, viruses win. Every virus blocks interferon - your main defense. Image
Signs your immune system is weak:

↳ Slow healing
↳ Always tired
↳ Getting sick often
↳ Wounds heal slowly
↳ Infections come back

These point to deeper problems in your body.

PCOS affects 16M+ American women with irregular periods, acne, hair loss & infertility.

Yet doctors are STILL treating it completely wrong - addressing symptoms instead of root causes.

Here's Dr. Elizabeth Boham's explanation of what PCOS actually is (+ 7 natural solutions): Image
Image
First, meet Dr. Elizabeth Boham.

She's a functional medicine physician who's helped thousands of women reverse PCOS naturally using food as medicine.

On Dr. Mark Hyman's podcast, she revealed the exact protocol she uses. Image
Here's what most doctors won't tell you:

PCOS isn't actually an ovarian problem - it's a dietary and gut health problem.

When you fix your diet and heal your gut, the symptoms disappear naturally.

Dr. Boham proves this with patients every day.
