Miracles in Health

This year I had plenty to be grateful for on Thanksgiving day. One of the things I am most grateful for it is the current state of my health. It has improved so much over the past couple of months, it's amazing! One drawback of the improved state of my health is that with some of the greatest miracles there was one tiny little lapse. Last month my migraines actually came back to haunt me. Last month, however, I really thought the problem was dehydration. It's starting to look like the problem was that my migraines are actually coming back. I believe this because of the fact that on Thanksgiving day I actually came down with yet another one; and it came out of nowhere.

Hopefully I can figure out what I did right, so that I can repeat the process and make these horrible headaches go away. Hopefully my brilliant new doctor, who I give partial credit for the massive improvements in my health, can help me figure out how to say farewell to my migraines once and for good.

Gobble, Gobble!

I hope everyone had a warm and wonderful Thanksgiving holiday! I truly hope that this year gave you plenty to be thankful for. Gobble, gobble and be well my friends!

Happy Anniversary: Be Well My Friends

Happy belated birthday Be Well My Friends! Last Monday, November 25th was our three-year anniversary. That's another year of growth and learning about health.

Although I am not a fan of sugary processed foods, it's tough to find birthday videos without such items. Besides, I've learned on this journey that one can actually make a very tasty and beautiful birthday cake out of real food.

Hope you enjoy the video below of one of my favorite Disney characters, one of the minions from Despicable Me, singing a birthday song.



" I'm Just a Mom!" Daphne Lee Gives Powerful Speech Against NDAA in Cla...

Some may ask what the NDAA has to do with health or healthcare. The NDAA does not convict criminals nor does it challenge criminal offenses. Under the NDAA, you can be detained indefinitely because of suspected terrorism.

A man named Will Potter, an animal rights activist, was detained under NDAA. Of course there was no charge, only suspected terrorism. Don't be so naïve to believe that this could not happen to you. Our rights are being violated America. Please observe this very brave woman who's fighting for each and every single one of us.

Kefir Grains: TheHealthyHomeEconomist

I found this video to be VERY helpful.  There are many kefir grains to choose from.  If you aren't familiar with how kefir grains function, you could kill them very easily.  In the video below, the Healthy Home Economist explains the difference between how water kefir grains and milk kefir grains function.  If you take care of your kefir grains, they will last and last.

If you plan on using kefir grains, unless you know EXACTLY what you are doing; you definitely need to watch this video. Enjoy!

How to Remove a Stubborn Splinter with no Pain or Needles

The link below is for an article written by the Healthy Home Economist.  She explains how to remove a splinter without a needle, razor blade (which I've used) or doctor visit.  The method seems so simple, that it is very hard to believe that it works.  Her husband did this and it worked beautifully for him.  It drew out the splinter, healed the infection and gave the man his finger back.  I hope this is helpful, it was sure enlightening for me.

Probiotic Foods to Add to Your Diet

Again and again, I read articles and studies about how probiotic cultures are probably the most effective part of fighting candida overgrowth.  There are supplements that one can take, however, they can be VERY expensive; mainly the very effective ones.  Even my nutritionist told me that she would prefer that I get my probiotic intake from food.

Good news!  Here is a video that lists a bunch of fabulous probiotic foods; some that I didn't even know about!  I'll be searching for recipes and brands to make most of these foods a part of my diet.
