Fatty Liver and Ugly Toes

Mon, 14 Jun 2010 00:00:00 EDT

My husband spent many of his young years on fishing boats in Alaska. The life of a professional fisher is not easy. Their days were 18 to 22 hours on their feet fishing, and they would be out on the boat from 2 week to a month at a time. Read more below. . . . . . Life was hard and made for real men, but it also made for toe fungus. Wearing...

Every Minute Counts

Fri, 07 May 2010 00:00:00 EDT

I grew up thinking that husbands and wives were always happy with each other—never a fuss or fight. It never occurred to me that some parents might spank in anger or be abusive to their children. I had no idea that some fathers, uncles, brothers, even pastors and deacons molested little children. The first time I saw a young couple fighting I was thirteen and babysitting their children. I was astonished! I was blown...

Healthy Broth

Fri, 07 May 2010 00:00:00 EDT

Old fashioned broth is packed with important minerals that have disappeared from the American diet. They have been replaced with the discovery of monosodium glutamate (MSG). What is MSG ? It is a neurotoxic substance that causes a wide range of reactions from temporary headaches to permanent brain damage. You might think you do not use MSG, but it is in bouillon cubes, canned broths and soups, dehydrated soup mixes, sauce mixes, TV dinners,...

I Made an Herb Girl Out of Me

Thu, 15 Apr 2010 00:00:00 EDT

When I first started learning about herbs and their properties I was captivated by the possibilities. I knew that if half of everything I was reading was true, a lot of people were missing out on the healing power of God’s plants. First I needed to test them for myself. I had to know if they really worked as well as the books claimed. So with the little herb research I had done I...

Tincture Making Made Simple

Mon, 29 Mar 2010 00:00:00 EDT

I hear all the time how intimidating it is for people to make tinctures or herb concoctions. I have realized over the years that things are only complicated when you are unfamiliar with them. So, I am going to show you, step by step, how to make your own tincture at home. Also, at a fraction of the cost of store-bought tinctures, you can make a year’s supply for your family and be assured...

The Bottom Line

Wed, 17 Feb 2010 00:00:00 EST

By now, most New Year’s resolutions have fallen by the wayside—and perhaps to the bottom if your resolution was to lose weight! Maybe your approach was wrong. Dieting is usually not effective in the long run. Low calorie diets will enable you to lose weight fast, but they will also usually lower your metabolism. What’s wrong with that? Lower metabolism means your food will not burn off as fast. Your body will be expecting...

Science Fiction Horror Story

Fri, 05 Feb 2010 00:00:00 EST

Which word in the title is erroneous: Science—Fiction—Horror—Story? It’s the word fiction. The food you eat is no longer the food God made for the human body. Evolutionary scientists have irreversibly changed the DNA of plant, animal, and human cells. They are uncreating God’s creation, rendering staple foods unfit for human or animal consumption. I recently read two books, and the following article contains quotes from those books (indicated by quotation marks), with some...

Herbs During Pregnancy

Thu, 14 Jan 2010 00:00:00 EST

What are the risks of using natural herbs during pregnancy? Although herbs are natural, not all herbs are safe to take during pregnancy. Women are urged to consult a trained and experienced herbalist (or other professional who is trained to work with herbs) if they want to take herbs during their pregnancies. What are some herbs I should be cautious about during my pregnancy? Depending on the source, some information will list an herb...

Nutrient Rich Smoothies!

Wed, 13 Jan 2010 00:00:00 EST

Are you tired of spending lots of money on vitamins that don’t seem to make a difference? I know how you feel. Most vitamins are very hard for your body to process. In fact, it's so common for vitamins to not break down at all that there is a saying, “I have really expensive pee.” Yellow, yellow, smelly vitamins down the drain. That means your body is not digesting them, and they're going right...

Tea - Love at First Sip

Fri, 23 Oct 2009 00:00:00 EDT

I discovered my first cup of coffee when I was about 16 years old. Love at first taste! Over the next several years I cultivated and refined my coffee senses, knowing exactly what I liked. I loved experimenting, trying new brands and making different combinations. My mother's early warnings of caffeine addiction began to fade to the back of my mind as I enjoyed a cup every morning. And then every morning and evening....

Castor: Bean or Seed?

Thu, 03 Sep 2009 00:00:00 EDT

Facts: The castor bean comes from the castor oil plant. Despite their name, castor beans are not a true bean; they may also be called castor seeds. The use of castor seeds dates back as much as 4,000 years, as they have been found in ancient Egyptian tombs. The oil from the castor seed was used mostly for fuel because the oil burns very slowly. Global castor seed production is around 1 million tons...

Eating Wild!

Wed, 12 Aug 2009 00:00:00 EDT

Eating wild! I know many of you are thinking this is far out and old fashioned. Old fashioned it might be, but more in fashion than you think. Many “normal people” eat things out of the wild, such as soups, salads, meat, and many more “wild dishes” that can be prepared and in a delicious way. No, you will not be malnourished, and in fact, it can be much more nutritious than your daily...

Survival

Wed, 12 Aug 2009 00:00:00 EDT

Survival, the most powerful instinct of all, recently awakened by the financial crisis and the threatening political climate, is the primary concern expressed in the many letters we are receiving. It is not a new experience for me, because I remember many similar awakenings in my 63 years. In the fifties and very early sixties, there were many businesses advertising the construction of your own personal nuclear bomb shelter. Schools and businesses had regular...

Smart Pack

Wed, 12 Aug 2009 00:00:00 EDT

In an emergency, have you ever scrambled to collect the things you need? Well, you need something like what we call a Smart Pack. It can be a serious and life-saving pack, or just a fun pack for fun occasions. Those of us who have delivered babies have already employed this concept. Knowing that the baby is coming soon, we gather up and pack the things we may need for our home birth, or...

Healthy Again

Thu, 16 Apr 2009 00:00:00 EDT

When bentonite clay is taken into one’s body, metals and toxins are drawn into the ‘sponge’ through electrical attraction and bonding. A few years ago my husband and I moved into a house infested with black mold—but we couldn’t see it and didn’t know it was there. In a short time, we both started getting sick. At first we just thought our immune systems were run down, but three months later I was in...
