Body wrap experience at the Dead Sea

Our trip to the Dead Sea was incredible. Actually it was mind boggling to me to actually be there after 10 years of studying and working with its precious raw materials.

While we were at the hotel, we HAD to see if we could learn some hidden secrets from 'the experts'. Myself, Jim & Jessica all had a full mud body wrap and massage. We felt this would 'complete' our learning experience.

Much to our dismay the experience was less than we were expecting! They never had us fill out a consultation sheet - therefore they did not know if we had any allergies, body ailments or chonic issues (such as my Fibromyalgia). They wisked us all away to separate rooms that were fully tiled, no circulation and 'cold' feeling. They weren't 'spa' rooms by any means. My therapist could not speak much English at all. She pointed at a table that was covered with a blue tarp and had me change into disposable under clothes and lay down. A few minutes later she emerged with a gallon bucket of mud. I was quite hesitant for her to slather it on me. I could smell menthol and when I looked at the mud I could tell it wasn't 100% pure product. I asked her what other ingredients the mud contained - she blew me off with 'I don't understand' and proceded to take her glove covered hand and raised my right arm and in one fell swoop - slathered the warm, menthol Dead Sea 'wanna be' Mud on. She was so fast with the application it literally took her about 5 minutes to cover my entire body. Interestingly enough she left the abdomen & chest area open. I questioned why she didn't cover those areas - she told me it wasn't good for my heart. Then I realized what she meant - because she wrapped the blue tarp around me and left me in the room with no circulation. I literally felt mummified! I tried to get comfortable and think about being in the Dead Sea. Then I started to sweat profusely. The sweat came out of the chest & abdomen area and of course my face and scalp. I was burning up! There was a fan in the room (not turned on) but I could not get to it because I was packed in tight! In about 20 minutes the therapist appeared and wiped my forehead with a lukewarm cloth. What I would have given for it to be ice cold at that point! I asked if she would turn on the fan but she didn't hear me as she closed the door. So there I lay - sweating in a blue tarp wishing I was in the Dead Sea instead of that room! I could have done a much better job at the Dead Sea and would be mobile, in the sun and able to float in the silky water instead of being trapped up like Sushie in a blue tarp! Not to mention the exhorbadant amount of money it cost! Then came time for the 'unveiling'. She followed me into the shower and hosed my back and legs off with a high powered sprayer. I was slightly embarassed. I politely asked her if I could take care of it myself and she got the hint.

I was shocked that the high end treatment did not do what our products do at home - which is firm, tone & tighten the skin while reducing the appearance of cellulite. (Sorry, it's not permanent - but it lasts for at least 24 hours!) Then came time for fresh disposable clothes and a robe. I was escorted to my massage room which had a very inexpensive treatment table and two plastic out door chairs in it. She turned around while I removed the robe and got under the sheet. I had a feelilng they were going to use cheap products on my skin - so I came prepared with my own Mud-Lite™ Mineral Creme and asked that she use it instead of her products. She opened a jar of pink cream and stuck it in my face to try and get me to let her use it. I could immediately smell the chemical fragrances in it and refused the product. She used my creme and I was soooo glad because I love the aroma I had created for this massage! It had Rosewood, Sandalwood, Jasmine, Geranium, Bulgarian Lavender, Ylang II and a few drops of Bulgarian Rose Oil. Decadent - Yep! And I deserved it! The only thing that was pleasant about the massage was the end of it! She didn't know I had Fibromyalgia so she rubbed me down like a race horse. At one point she took off her lab coat and layed on my back with her forearms and rubbed up and down on my back as if I were a 500 pound man. I let out a few grunts and she asked if she was hurting me. I told her yes. I tried to explain that you don't do deep tissue massage on Fibromyalgia patients, but she did not know what I was talking about. I made it through the massage and got back in my swim suit (I had come there directly from being in the Dead Sea!) and headed right back down to my precious mineral oasis. There I slathered on the pure Dead Sea Mud to detox the junk the body wrap had done and then I did a full body scrub with the mineral salts and floated away. That was heaven to me!

One thing I learned from the experience was - I really am The Mud Queen™! I really do know my stuff and how to implement it better than the people that live at that miraculously healing & therapeutic God-given resource. My next trip will be to stay at the Dead Sea and do my own body wraps. That was really sheer heaven to me! What can I say? I'm The Mud Queen™!!! :o)

Miracles occurred at the Dead Sea

We had two miracles take place at the Dead Sea while we were there! Allow me to share the stories:

My DH re-hurt his right knee this past December doing sprints on our local high school's football field. It had gotten so bad we had resolved that when we got back from our trip he would bite the bullet and get knee surgery. Even though he suffered tremendous swelling in his feet on the trip - his right knee has been completely healed! There is absolutely NO PAIN at all! He's absolutely thrilled and is claiming it as a healing and giving God the glory for it!

Then there was precious Mark & Kim. It was a miracle they were both able to go on the trip in the first place. Mark was wearing knee braces and using a cane everywhere we went for the first 4 days. When we arrived at the Dead Sea he shared that God had given him a dream to get into the Dead Sea and apply the mud to his body and he'd be healed. The first day/evening none of us knew where the mud was located (see my previous post on how we found the mud on the list here - The Most Incredible Days of My Life!). A select few of us found it that night due to my insane persistence and determination! The next morning we went out to get Mudded Up again and there were several from our group already out floating in the Dead Sea. I immediately made a bee line to the right side of the shoreline and started Muddin' 'Er Up and low and behold here they came! We all slathered mud on us head to toe! As Mark began applying the excessively warm mud to his body he shared his dream with us. We all agreed with him for his healing. Then I had to rinse off and go to the spa to get my Dead Sea Mud Body Wrap. (Yes, I know I can do my own, but I wanted to see what the spa did at the Dead Sea. That experience will be a future post) Long story short - Mark was Healed at the Dead Sea - Praise the Lord!!! The rest of the trip to include the extremely hard ride home on the airplanes and a three hour layover in Germany he NEVER used his knee braces or his cane! I saw him on Sunday at church and he's REALLY HEALED!!! No cane or knee braces still! How awesome is that!

The same thing for my DH! Absolutely no pain at all! And the biggest test for him is when he sits for any duration of time - the knee would (previously) set up and he would experience excruciating pain for several minutes while he tried to walk. He would actually limp for many minutes. Now - no pain - no setting up - just like new! I love it! God is so good!

Other smaller miracles occurred to some of the ladies (and even a few of the men!)from the application of the Miracle Dead Sea Mud, Salts and Brine. As I have written in my Great Beauty Tips Article (7 years this month on a weekly basis) the Dead Sea returned to them life to their hair, faces and body - the baby like softness and a healthy radiant glow. This is always something I love to watch occur on people. It never ceases to amaze me!

Well, that's all for this post!
Shalom Y'all! :o)

On the Plane Again!

OM! We're not in the USA Toto! Checking into the airport was a complete nightmare! It was like dealing with downtown New York at rush hour! The people are very rude and cut in front of you. It's almost as if you don't exist! I miss Southern hospitality tremendously right now!

We had a bit of a scare while in airport - there was a lady and her family of 6 (she made it a family of 7) that took almost 2 hours getting their plane tickets! We were all afraid we were going to miss our plane. Of course it all worked out, but it was quite unnerving for a while.

On the plane God gave us another miracle. Jim was in severe pain with his crushed hip (car crash in 1980 – that’s another miracle story for another time!) and bad back - plus the poor man's feet were severely swollen. (BTW, the man NEVER complained once – I just knew and could feel his pain – he’s such a trooper!) We were in the middle row of seats with Jim on the left aisle seat. When he sat down his right knee stuck through the two seats in front of him and that was before those seats were reclined! We had 9 hours on that plane back to Atlanta! If he had to stay that way for that long, they would have had to get the Jaws of Life to cut him out! I knew this could not happen to my dear hubby so I got up and went to talk to a stewardess. She saw how crammed in Jim was and said she’d do what she could. I went to the restroom. When I came out there was a young man with crutches right in front of me approaching the bulk head emergency seat and he said, “As much as I would love to sit here – I can not because I would be unable to help others. When I heard I looked at the stewardess and I immediately said, “I have the perfect seat for you my dear!” I then proceeded to introduce Thomas to my DH and they swapped seats. It turned out that Thomas had a cast on his left leg so he had to have a left aisle seat in order to be comfortable! Is God good or what!?

And you’ll never guess what he was in school for – are you ready? He’s a geologist! OM Goodness! God paired me up with a mineral studier! We talked for hours! He even looked at my Power Point Presentations on the Dead Sea! How cool was that! The best part is – he’s going to help me create a layman’s laboratory that will allow me to test for mineral content of our products! I was soooo blown away at how God hooked all that up!

The flight was extremely long but we made it through without a glitch! We all got our luggage coming and going! I must say if you travel over seas book with Lufthansa! They take phenomenal care of their customers - no matter what time of day it is!

Our luxury bus ride home was over before I knew it - because I slept most of the way home! It's good to be home again. But I must tell you - half of my heart was left in Israel! I can't wait to return!

Luv~N~Hugs to you all!

Our last day in Israel

Well we’re back home – safe & sound! We had quite an incredible experience these past few days I couldn’t post to the blog site. Allow me to share them with you (FYI: this may be quite long!)

Our last day in Jerusalem was quite amazing! After the enormous breakfast feast (it was a feast every morning & night at the hotels! We all ate way to much!) we headed out the door for Hazon Yeshaya a local mission’s outreach that feeds the poor in Jerusalem. The soup kitchen that we went to was in the middle of a Modern Orthodox Jewish community. We went by a bus stop and saw literally hundreds of Modern Orthodox Jewish men & women herding into the bus station. The men were dressed in black pants & jackets (like a men’s suit coat), white shirts and a Yamaka (skull cap) and some a large black hat. There are several reasons why they wear the Yamaka:
• For recognition that God is "above" humankind
• Showing their "acceptance" of the 613 mitzvot (commandments)
• demonstration of the "ministry" of all Jews
• "identification" of/with other Jewish people

Some have a custom of wearing two head coverings, typically a Yamaka covered by a very large black hat. The two coverings correspond to two levels of intellect, or two levels in the fear of God. The other thing we noticed was many of the Jewish boys and men had what is called Payot - which are long , mostly curled side burns. These are worn ranging in size from 1 up to 8 inches long. (I saw a few men that had Payots this long – possibly longer).

There we learned that about 38% of Israel is poverty stricken. We all went into the kitchen and were given disposable gloves and aprons and we began to peel literally mounds of potatoes. We had several stations where we broke up into small groups and worked together. As we peeled we began talking to each other. I learned all about my church’s food ministry – Isaiah 58. This ministry reaches out into our local community and helps to feed the poor with not only physical food but spiritual food as well. You can read more here: http://isa58waio.blogspot.com/

As we worked peeling potatoes in an enclosed kitchen cubical with no air conditioning or circulation it dawned on me how ‘wrapped up in myself’ I have become. God really convicted me about getting/reaching out to help others no matter where I was. I really can make a difference if I would just be willing to show up and do the work. My goal is to make myself available in my home town with our church’s Isaiah 58 ministry.

Once we left the soup kitchen we headed out to the Judean Desert for lunch in the Tents of Abraham (Genesis Land). None of us had any idea what we were in store for here. The land was completely barren and the heat index ‘felt’ like 130°! When the wind blew it was hot and dusty! We met inside the main building where we were told the story of the land and all about father Abraham and how he came to the area. Then we went outside and half of the group went down to the tents/restaurant via a camel ride! Those camels were the most hysterical thing I’ve ever seen! They had double seated saddles on them so two people could ride at one time. There weren’t enough camels for all of us to ride at the same time so we split the group up – half would ride down – the other half would ride back up. I was in the ‘ride back up group’. As I walked on the dusty road I looked at my feet and saw how filthy they were. I began to think about the time Jesus washed his disciples’ feet and realized their feet were probably a lot dirtier than mine were at the time and how much work Jesus must have put into each foot to clean them up! Then I realized how much work He has done to clean me up! I was quite emotional behind my sunglasses in that desert heat. But a spirit of true thankfulness and realization of my heavenly Father’s love really hit me at that moment.

After many minutes in the sun and heat we rounded the corner and there it was! The Tents of Abraham. They were of course more modern - after all it was a restaurant! But I have to say I was in awe that someone had a vision and came all the way up to the top of a desert mountain and created a business in the middle of barren, dry, ugly land and had enough faith that it would be profitable! Then it dawned on me it wasn’t only faith they had – they also had hard work ethics, determination & dedication to their dream/vision. People come from all over the world to encounter a memorable experience with this small business! That got me so excited about my own business! Hey – I’ve been graphed into the Blessings of Abraham – it’s there for me (and all those that will accept it!) to receive! Isn’t that an awesome thought!?

We had the tastiest meal of the entire trip at The Tents of Abraham! We all sat on cushions on the floor inside a modern day tent. Our ‘china’ was hand made pottery plates and cups that were glazed. Our host was a very handsome young actor (age 25 – I asked) that depicted father Abraham – he did a superb job! When lunch was over – it was time for The Mud Queen™ to mount her camel and conquer the mountain! My riding partner was precious little Brittany Kay (age 20) and together she and I conquered the mountain! If you’ve never ridden a camel – it is an experience to say the least! Once you are ‘on board’ the camel begins to rise up from its hind legs first – so you literally are catapulted forward with quite a jerking force. Then it stands on its front feet and begins to walk. The ride was liken to a horse ride – until it’s time to de-mount! Then the process reverses itself! The camel drops down on its front knees then the back legs fold up as the camel lays down for you to get off. Fortunately one of the guides caught Brittany as our camel sat down! I thought she was just ‘cameling (horsing!) around’ but she was really falling off the camel and the guide saved her in time. If he had not – she would have had some camel caca on her for sure! LOL! Needless to say – she was forever grateful!

We said goodbye to Abraham and his crew and headed to the Ela Valley or Sokho region. This was where David killed Goliath. My DH Jim told our tour guide not to get any ideas (Jim was by far the tallest of the group – 6’8”!) to use him for reenactment of the scene! LOL!

We all scoured the area for 5 rocks to take home. Since we had 3 in our family – I went and picked fresh Anise flowers while Jessica & Jim picked up stones to take home.

This was officially the end of our trip but we still had about 7 hours until our bags had to be in the hall way to bet put on the bus. One of the gentlemen (Bobby) in our group was on his 6th trip to Israel and he had previously started a ministry at the Jerusalem YMCA so he knew the area. Together with Bobby, his lovely wife Annette, myself, Jim (my DH), Jessica (our DD), Brittany, Leigh, Joyce & Sarah we all were dropped off in the middle of Jerusalem to see the old Jerusalem and Ben Yehuda area. The old Jerusalem was kind of unnerving for me. It was in a narrow tunnel-like section with the vendors (some) having a small 10x10 cubical as their shop. They would yell, and some would grab you to come into their shops. We had a few trying moments where it was nice to have a 6’8” husband tell them to ‘back off!’ while you looked.

We saw all sorts of things – clothes (even belly dancing outfits! Made me want to get back on my exercising badly! OM the thought of me in one of those right now is not very appealing! LOL!), prayer shawls, yamakas, silver chalices, Shofars (the ram’s horn that will be sounded to announce the return of Jesus on the Mount of Olives) silver items of all kinds, purses, shoes and my favorite – local art work, bread makers and spice shops.

It was getting late so several of us headed back to the hotel to finish packing – our bags had to be ready for pickup by 12:15am and we had to be in the lobby ready to leave by 12:45am. (Ouch! We had many ‘ouchies’ on this trip – but we made it through them all with flying colors!)

That's our last full day in Israel :o( We're already trying to return!

Much Luv~N~Hugs to you all! BTW, give three people you love a GREAT BIG Hug & Kiss after you read this post! It will make their day & yours!

Life's too precious to pass up the opportunity to love someone! It's all about the relationships you make while you're alive!

Quick~N~Simple - WE'RE AT THE DEAD SEA!!!

It just can't get any better than this! We were baptized in the Jordan River yesterday - Jim & I renewed our wedding vows afeter we were baptized and our daughter was the maid of honor! Not only am I at the Dead Sea that I have studied for 10 years - but I'm officially on my honeymoon at the same time! Neat - huh?!

Earlier today we saw where they discovered the Dead Sea scrolls and now we've arrived at the Dead Sea!

We're having all sorts of internet issues between hotels - but we are fortunate to get access in our room right now ($23 a night - ouch!). Our hotel room was upgraded by my mother (Thanks Mom! You ROCK!!!) to a suite and we're in a corner room of the hotel over looking the Dead Sea! I'm so excited and thrilled to be here! We have literally hundreds of pictures to download on our site - just unable to do that right now.

BTW, if you see spelling errors - I can't get spell check to work and am unable to cut and paste this into my MS Word program from the blog site. Weird I know but it's the way it is right now. So excuse me if I over look some misspelled words!

We've got our bathing suits on and are about to head to the Dead Sea shoreline! I want to take a quick moment and send out a Muddin' Wave "Hello" to all of our family, employees, Mudology University members back in the USA that are reading the blog. As well as the TSA Convention attendees! I miss you all and will think of you as I float in the Dead Sea in about 15 minutes! I pray you all have a WONDERFUL Spa Pampering Nite™ tonight! We held a private one in our room last night with about 8 ladies in our group that had nave had a Dead Sea facial! We had a blast! I told them all about the TSA convention and how Spa Pampering Nite™ originated with your group!

Off to float in the Dead Sea! Will post more later - access permitting!

Packed & ready to go!

This is the day the Lord has made! I will rejoice and be glad in it! Amen! :o)

We're packed and ready to go! Keep us in your thoughts and prayers as we travel today. The flight is going to be VERY long! The time difference is 8 hours. It should be interesting to see how we all adjust to it.

I can't wait to see how God impacts our lives with this trip. I don't know when I'll be able to connect to the internet - so until my next post - Keep the Faith! We love you all!

God Bless,Tammy Doering

Less than 24 hours & counting!!!

OM Goodness! It's almost here! I can't believe how fast this day has passed by! I still need to finish packing! Where did all the time go!? At this rate I might get left behind! LOL! That will never happen - I'd go naked if I had to! (Ugly thought I know! But I would! )

I had last minute ideas just in case our bath room suit case got lost. I created 3oz travel bottles and labeled them all (Really pretty deep blue Clowningway Font) then put pretty red bows on them for an accent. Over board - probably - but they look really cute! ;o) And I did it - BECAUSE I COULD! I just love the fact that I know how to make a formula, create it, make a label for it and package it! I'll get my DH to take a picture of it tonight for y'all to see. I think it would make great travel kits to retail in our boutique. Maybe it can inspire some of you!

Well, I just want to take a moment and Praise the Lord here! All of the AP is paid in full and so are the taxes and additional payroll! Is God GOOD or what!? Best part is - DH & I both had new sales take place today - we're pretty pumped!

Our staff has worked so hard and been very diligent with learning. I am so thankful for them! One of the really cool things we learned about this week (and implemented in our office on several computers) is Skype technology! We set up web cams with built in microphones and will be able to talk to our office on a daily basis - FOR FREE while we're in Israel - how COOL is that!?

Well, I guess I'd best be closing down the office the night and get home and finish packing and finishing up the outstanding laundry and house cleaning. I can't stand to leave our home in a mess before I go away. I want to come home to nice clean house when I return from a trip. The mess you're bringing home with you is enough to make you lose your hair as it is! LOL! I don't want an additional mess to contend with! Signing off for now!

Luv~N~Hugs!!!

Another day closer!

Today has been extremely hectic! I went out yesterday to a local Nubian Goat Milk Farm and purchased 5 gallons of fresh Nubian Goat Milk. Came back to the office and filled about 50 ice cube trays (Have about 5 qts remaining to freeze!) Worked all day on getting our products together for the TSA Convention's Spa Pampering Nite™ in Austin, Texas on July 18-20. I'm thrilled I will be at the Dead Sea during those dates, but I will deeply miss the wonderful people that attend this convention! This is where Spa Pampering Nite™ originated 5 years ago this year! In honor of our 5th year we are throwing a celebration Spa Pampering Nite™ for all of the attendees. We're shipping out a full Mud~N~Peel Bar™ that will be set up by 4 wonderful ladies that have attended previous this special nite with me at the convention. We plan on sending out a Muddin' Wave from the Dead Sea to the convention on the 19th & 20th from the Dead Sea. Who says you can't be in two places at one time! My body will be covered in the Miracle Dead Sea Mud and my heart will be in Texas! LOL!

We are working each day on preparation of our businesses while we are out of the country for this blessed trip. There are soooo many things that must be done before we go! Pre-pay all of the payables, write several weeks of payroll checks, create payroll tax payments on line, pay June sales tax, pay quarterly payroll state taxes, teach the employees about what to do in case of an emergency, go over how to make invoices, go over how to make deposits! The list seems to be never ending! Most of these tasks don't take a lot of time - just money! :o) I praise God for taking care of all of this ahead of time! He has supplied everything we need to be able to take care of all of our responsibilities and obligations - How Great is our God!!!

Then we have our home to deal with. We are soooo thankful for my precious father - Tom Ossink who is a vital member of our family and our businesses. He does it all - waters the plants, feeds & lets out our black & tan miniature Daschund Annabelle, washes floors, vacuums, picks up the daughter from school or ball practice. Then there's yard work - he's relentless when it comes to helping there! A few weeks ago we were leaving for the early morning service at our church and realized his car was in our driveway - as we passed by the house we saw him putting the yard clippings in the wheelbarrel that were left from the night before! When we called his cell phone and asked what he was doing - he said, "Just wanted to get a jump on the work before church starts! See ya this afternoon!" When we came home from church, most of the work was done! At our office he does the bank deposits, manages our warehouse, fills the distributors pallet orders, takes care of warehouse inventory and watches over things. Are we blessed or what! Thanks Dad - you're the greatest!!! We can go out of the country an know everything will be all right with you here!

Well, it's getting late and time to head home! I pray you have a blessed evening!

July 8, 2008 - Anticipation!!!

Hello & Welcome to my blog site! I am Tammy Doering - The Mud Queen™! Having lived with Psoriasis & Seborrhea for 16 years, I really wasn't a stranger to excessively over dry skin. But my entire life changed in 1997 when I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. My precious little girl was only 2 years old. I was partners with my DH in our computer & Internet business - Network Technology, Inc. After a year of 'zombie drugs' I prayed and asked God to show me what He had here on this earth that could help me function naturally without the use of harsh medications. Be careful what you pray for - you just might end up with more than you bargained for!

In 1998 I began learning about ancient natural therapies such as Aromatherapy (use of essential oils), Thalassotherapy (use of Mineral Salts & Hydrotherapy), Balneotherapy (use of mud wraps), Phytotherapy (use of Plant Extracts) and Heliotherapy (use of the sun for therapy). I began dreaming skin care formulas that incorporated all of these therapies. I began documenting and implementing natural treatments on myself. I have personally witnessed and experienced so many different types of healing from using Dead Sea ingredients blended with various other natural oils, butters and essential oils that I have made it my life's mission to teach the world about the Healing & Therapeutic Powers of the Dead Sea.

I am the President & Founder of a bulk company called - Dead Sea Bulk Materials & More!!!™. I have been researching, formulating, importing spa quality raw Dead Sea ingredients, manufacturing & teaching how to create spa quality Dead Sea Hair, Skin & Nail products for over a decade now.

The time has finally come for me to meet the Dead Sea face to face! I'm so excited I feel like a kid at Christmas! Our trip is only one week away from today (July 8, 2008)! I can hardly believe it! My family and I will be embarking on an adventure of a lifetime! We will be touring The Holy Land - Israel! We will be walking where our Lord & Saviour Jesus Christ walked, ministered and lived, died & rose again! How awesome is that!
And after 10 years of research, formulating, importing and manufacturing spa quality products with Dead Sea ingredients - I will have the awesome privilege of personally beholding as well as getting into the the incredible - Dead Sea! I can't wait to see what God does with this trip for my life, heart, mind, body & soul - as well as my families! In addition to my DH - Jim Doering, DD - Jessica Doering (and of course - ME!) we be sharing this experience with my loving mother - Nancy Waters, step father - Steven Waters & my brother - Michael Waters along with 24 other ladies and gentleman from our church - Word Alive International Outreach.

Our goal with this blog to allow our beloved friends & customers to share in our incredible journey and experience our trip through pictures and postings on this site! Visit often and tell your friends and family about this site, too!
