Have you ever tried a 40- hour fast?

????????????????? Have you ever tried a 40- hour fast? It sounds gruesome, doesn’t it? I have been doing a program called The Long-Term Solution with David King (?https://www.davidkingfitness.com/ ), who is a diet and lifestyle coach. He is the Tony Robbins of the weight- loss world. He has a major health program going. It is obviously very successful. ?He insists that though his diet guidelines are definitely Keto in design, he makes sure it is nutritional Ketosis. And it is….

My first post in a full year!

Comments 0 Comment

I am terrified to write this blog post. Why? I write every single day in a journal that I have been keeping since August 2015.? Writing does not scare me and I have a lot to say. Procrastination is probably the reason behind the fear or maybe it is the other way around. The fear is uppermost in my mind. Perhaps it is because I have not written a blog post since almost exactly one year ago. So much has…

I am alive and well and living with my mother

I am alive and well and living with my mother

Comments 2 comments

My Mother is 98 years old. She is beautiful and cheerful. But things are changing for her as she becomes more frail and less able to participate in the activities that kept her young. For instance she loved to play golf, and she starred at croquet, but her balance is not what it once was and she hates walking as a sport. Dancing was her very favorite. But now her partners are all gone and she, herself fears that loss…

Health Myths Created by Father of Spin

Health Myths Created by Father of Spin

I love Dr. Mercola’s articles. Here is one everyone should read. It just amazes me how people simply go along with the herd. Don’t you want to KNOW? Don’t you want to be told the honest truth about what is being touted as “good for you”? The information is available, but you have to look for it. It is foolish to just accept everything the Drug companies tell you to do. They have an agenda and it is NOT your…

This is directly quoted from my blog for www.childbirthsolutions.com but I have modified it for this site, leaving out some of the ?rant? about childbirth and the way doctors use dogma to coerce women into being compliant patients when they go to the hospital to give birth. I prefer home birth and feel that is the safest way to have a baby. But I will spare you the whole post about that. My point today is that much of what…

Aging, I am for it!!!

Recently I was in a Facebook discussion with some young women about aging.? It made me think of an answer for all of them. “Oh …You girls…..You are ALL so young.” and I continued with much of what I have written here, though I have embellished it for you. I am 69….still have most of my natural hair color, though in the last couple of years it seems to be shot with silver all through my hair, rather than just…

The Case for Home Birth

The Case for Home Birth

Comments 0 Comment

A home birth is the best place for a calm birth. In one?s own home that sense of being in a foreign place is simply not a problem.? After all, this is ?home?.? In a hospital there are different smells, different sounds, and a large number of strangers all intent on their own agenda, not putting the pregnant woman first.? There are noises and loudspeakers and pinging machines and germs in the air and on every single surface. Those in…

Drinking diet soda is not a wise option

Drinking diet soda is not a wise option

Comments 2 comments

I read an article about a new study that says daily drinking of diet soda may lead to higher risk of stroke or heart attack. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/41479869/ns/health-diet_and_nutrition/ I was surprised to see some comments on Facebook about this article that showed surprise. ?The surprise came from the claim that caramel coloring might be part of the problem. ?I concur. ?But any drink called diet is dangerous. ?There is just too much information suggesting that artificial sweeteners are neurotoxins. ?It is not…

1. Be a student of life. Learn something new every day. The day you stop learning is the day you begin to become obsolete. Never stop learning. 2. None of us is Perfect. The sooner you know this in your heart, the sooner you can start being excellent. Begin every morning fresh and ready for whatever challenges await you. Try harder than you did the day before. Never give up. You can achieve that which seemed impossible. 3. Play the hand…

What do we do now about health care?

What do we do now about health care?

Comments 0 Comment

The first suggestion from me would be educating people about how to take care of their own health. The whole MEDICAL INDUSTRIAL complex is out to make money for themselves. They have NO desire to keep people well. That would be bad for business (and I am all for legitimate business, but NOT for making money by keeping people from being healthy.) Our system has almost nothing to do with health. It waits for people to be ill before even…

I stole the above quote from Equilibrium http://www.equilibrium-clinic.com/ because I believe it is so important. ?So many people are unwell for so many diverse reasons. Do you know why you are sick, if you are suffering from some condition? ?Have you thought about what that means? There is a fear in people’s minds that if someone suggests that they are ill by choice that it is “blaming” the victim. ?Do you feel that way? ?Or do you have some small…

http://www.hersfoundation.com/anatomy/index.html I hope every woman will watch this wonderful video. It may save your uterus and or ovaries.? We need our organs.? Do not let a physician tell you that you do not need them. I spent years and years looking for a doctor who would understand my desire to keep my body intact. My ovarian cyst started almost 15 years ago. At first it was small and the radiologist who gave me a sonogram to see how big it…

What are you expecting from the Government bailout program? Are you expecting money deposited in your bank by some mythical program? There is only one person who can make your bank account grow fast and it is you.? You are so powerful, but when you start to believe the media about how tough times are you lose hope.? You let fear and negative thinking trip you up and keep you from moving forward into a wonderful world awaiting you. You…

Do you sometimes feel that things will just never work out for you? Do you worry that you are reaching an age where no more good things will happen? And whose fault do you think that is? It is the fault of your own attitude. Where did that attitude come from?? Is there truth in it? Or are you just saying and feeling and believing something that you heard in childhood? Have you ever thought about just where your ideas…
