FOOD and nutrition: The good, the bad, and the ugly, including some excellent recipes and commentary about certain types of food/meals, which have proven to be of benefit. Also some harsh warnings about food and food-related products, which are over-sold, over-bought and over-used, many of which raise questions as to their safety and nutritional value.

Is it HEALTH or is it HELLth?

Foods from the ‘alkaline’ side include fresh seasonal fruit

I am sitting here this morning waiting for my primary care office to call me to set up an appointment to have the stress test the ER doctor ordered to be done.

So, while waiting I have been checking my news trap line and listening to NewsMAX. They have several items related to Covid and the *vaccines*. Continue reading

How to Boost Your Immune System

NOTE: It is rare, if ever that we will post a column which embeds links to products being offered by any author, however you will note that the following does make an exception to the rule, as the source is extremely reliable and trustworthy – in our opinion. Those related links are colored in blue.~ Ed.

We are continually exposed to organisms that are inhaled, swallowed or inhabit our skin and mucous membranes. Whether or not these organisms lead to disease is decided by the integrity of our body’s defense mechanisms, or immune system.

When our immune system is working properly, we don’t even notice it. But when we have an under- or over-active immune system, we are at a greater risk of developing infections and other health conditions. Continue reading

The Ultimate Guide To Composting

Each day, I receive many emails for all of our daily websites “offering” to share links to one of our posts – IF – I would post an article which the sender wants me to believe would benefit our site(s). In 99% of those received – I have never heard of them and in each case – what is really being “pushed” is a column which is full of many built in links for something which THEY have to sell. I typically reject ALL of them… BUT – what you are about to read below – although there is an ad built into that – which I am gladly sharing – I feel that the lessons here are far too great NOT to offer – and because of it – I gladly welcome all that has been provided below.

One must also understand, that I was born and spent much of my early years in farm country back in the 50’s and early 60’s, and learned much from my great grandmother about gardening and canning – you know – ‘putting up‘ for the winter – as we used to say. I used to hop the fence into the land that the Arendorfer family leased from our family in order for their cattle to graze. Oh yeah – I learned at an early age, the art of ‘pooper-scooping‘ (dried stuff) to use for Granny’s compost pile. …and just how do think that the tomatoes came out?

So, what REALLY made me want to post ‘The Ultimate Guide…‘? From time to time I HAVE posted several articles as relates to growing one’s own food – whether it be for guidance and the importance of a full garden – maybe even for the near or long-term unknown that we may be facing in America – or maybe because I believe that teaching our children and grandchildren (as I was taught) how to be self-sufficient. Whatever your reasons are – they are GOOD ones… and hey – you will be able to control what you eat – and keep Monsanto and the rest of the poisonous bad guys out of your “farm” – and that is not such a bad idea. You will learn much about how to grow a vegetable garden – and THAT is the best part of all – you can do it as a family. In addition, the nutritional gain that your family will receive – will be of immense to one’s overall health. Besides – it’s all about taking Back CONTROL of your life, your diet and your overall health!

I will be adding several links within this post (OOPS – I already did – right here in the Foreword), which will allow you to gain a better understanding as to WHY I have gladly chosen to share all that is before you ~ and if you should choose to give the great folks at Simple Grow a call – tell ’em where you read of them – won’t you?

I’ll See you at Sundown ~ after the Harvest is done!

Health CHOICES

I am so tired of all the Covid-19 and related issues as I am sure most of you are as well.

I’ve posted out volumes of emails about how to PREVENT any Virus or Bacteria from living in your body but so many of you refuse to do the SIMPLE things to maintain good HEALTH and PREVENT virus or bacterial illnesses from surviving in your body. I speak from personal experience and on YEARS of being both a regular victim of the virus and bacterial illnesses – and – once I learned of the pH balance in 2008 or so – I have not suffered so much as a SNIFFLE!

Big Pharma lies about vitamin C to keep people sick with cancer… while reaping huge profits from toxic cancer treatments

Vitamin C may have gotten a bit of buzz as the coronavirus pandemic ramped up, but the truth is that this wonder vitamin is often ignored by conventional medicine and the media. However, it can’t be a coincidence that most people who suffer from a chronic degenerative disease are deficient in vitamin C and that lots of cancer patients have been helped by high doses of vitamin C delivered intravenously over the years.

Your kids are yelling, the dog is barking, the phone is ringing and you’re pushing yourself to finish a project that was due yesterday. Balancing career with family is challenging enough, but when daily stressors are heightened by a serious medical diagnosis, financial hardship, or the added responsibility of caring for aging parents, life can feel unmanageable. While some stress is healthy and stimulating, chronic stress can be debilitating to your body, mind and spirit. What we eat is critical to our ability to manage stress and poor eating habits only add to the toll stress takes on our bodies. Continue reading

The Ways the Pandemic Has Influenced Our Eating Habits

More cooking, more uncertainty, less exercise and less sleep have taken their toll

Making banana bread was popular early in quarantine

Last week, my husband and I decided since outdoor dining resumed in our state, we would go out to dinner. For the first time in several months, I decided to get dressed up. I noticed that all my “real” pants felt snug at the waist. The pandemic and staying at home had changed my eating habits immensely. Continue reading

Turmeric, The Supplement that Targets Cells in over 600 Diseases

Villagers in Northern India have some of the lowest rates of mental decline and Alzheimer’s in the world.

Your Immune System, An Army that can prevent Cancer, Covid-19, and Other Diseases

Your immune system is one of the most important systems in your body. The immune system is very large. It consists of many disease fighting complex parts.

Most people think that the immune system consists of white blood cells, vaccinations, and lymphatic cells that respond to pathogens. The immune system is a whole lot more than that, and protects a person’s whole body, 100 percent of the time, 24/7. Continue reading
