Intestinal Flora and Autism III

I was going to stop after the first video, but there is just so much WONDERFUL information.  So, change of plans; I will do more!  Enjoy!

Intestinal Flora and Autism II

Here is more info:

Intestinal Flora and Autism

There are few things that I know about autism.  I've known that at least some types of autism can be treated to cure via neurofeedback therapy; but the following video offers yet another approach to autism that I never knew about.  The video is presented by Donna Gates (the author of this month's book) and Dr. Campbell-Mc Bride.  If you have a child with autism, this is DEFINITELY a video worth seeing.

 Enjoy!

August's Book

Now that we understand the many benefits of bacteria, what are some ways that we could rebuild our bodily flora?  That is where this month's book comes in.  I am working on rebuilding my flora and I just purchased this book recently.  I've never had a chance to read the book, but I have heard what Donna Gates, the author, had to say about intestinal flora.  If I understand correctly, she was once very sick much like I was.  After much research she realized that she had poor flora; hence the beginning of her journey.  This book gives similar information to last month's book, but this one gives recipes as well.  I hope you enjoy the Body Ecology Diet as I know I will.  I'm going to be very focused this month on rebuilding my flora.  I'm very excited about the information this book will bestow and the changes that I will see in my health. 

GMOs Limitations, Risks and Alternatives

I can't even begin to express how excited I was to read the featured article.  It compares what biotech companies like Monsanto said about GMOs and compared that with the reality of what many observed.  MANY of the unanswered questions are answered beautifully in this article.  It shares findings from studies from studies on GMOs.  It even compares nutritional content.

I was never a proponent of GMO, anyone who has been reading my blog knows this.  Until I realized how it has been literally pushed on us, I wasn't so compelled to fight against it as I am now.  I must live in a world where I have access to clean food/real food.  As I see that access becoming more and more limited, I become increasingly disturbed and frightened.  The following article shared everything I know, divulged some things that I've suspected but did not know and even revealed things that I never imagined.

DIY Coconut Kefir

I take coconut kefir as a daily supplement.  Imagine how elated I was to learn that I can make it myself!  I've seen a few videos that gave step by step instructions on how to do it, but this was my favorite because it talks about how to do it both with and without the kefir starters.  There are some foods that can ferment without the starters like coconut, cucumbers and cabbage to name a few.

I've tried this and it is VERY easy, healthy and yummy!

Intestinal Flora

I’ve had many health problems due to poor flora.  I’ve posted about the different ways that I've tried to rebuild my flora.

I’m learning about other symptoms of unhealthy levels of intestinal flora.  I wasn’t surprised to hear about Candida, because that was my issue.  I was very surprised to hear that doctors attribute symptoms like fatigue, depression and even autism to unhealthy flora.  Unhealthy flora equals a poor immune system and a poor immune system can mean a number of different poor health conditions.

There are a few things that I've tried to rebalance my flora which I will share this week.  The only thing that I haven't yet tried is raw milk.  I'm still trying to find the best resource for that.
