Creating a Buzz about Health with Paula Carnell

Today's guest is truly inspiring, Paula Carnell first started her own business in 1990 as an artist and has sold works for five figure sums. She was a very successful artist and then after 20 years she fell ill and became bedridden and wheelchair bound with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. Her husband built her a bee hive which aided her remarkable recovery using herbal medicine and plant-based minerals. She's on The Wellness Way to share the wisdom that she gained from her bees.Show more

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Ehlers-Danlos syndromes are a group of conditions that cause very flexible joints and stretchy and fragile skin. EDS can affect people in different ways. For some, the condition is relatively mild, while for others their symptoms can be disabling.
There's not just one thing that makes us sick. It's this piling up of negativity leading to death by a thousand cuts.
There's about 250,000 people in the UK who are bedbound with chronic fatigue syndrome who can't access treatment because it’s not available in a way they can actually use. It was when she discovered that fact that Paula started to realise how our health system works.
Beekeepers live longer than any other profession. Paula puts it down to the fact that when you open up the hive and you're working with bees, you are breathing in the air of the hive, which is really rich in propolis. This is the waxy resin that bees collect from trees and its antibacterial, antifungal, antiseptic, antibiotic, and it's an incredible substance.
Paula did a Tedx Talk on the connection between Himalayan monks, plant based minerals and dandelions. When the video of the event was eventually put online it had been edited to cut out some of the important points she had made. There was no reason given by the people at Tedx and Paula had provided them with all of her references that were used in her speech.

BEST MOMENTS

‘You get very adept at covering up your illness’
‘They had taken out the key bits that explained how everything was connected without reason’
‘I knew talking about natural healing would be a little bit controversial’
‘If you want to hear what people want to say then you have to hear it live because there is censorship now’
