Naturally Yours in Good Health,

Imported from external blog

How is health created?  Health is created by living in accordance with that which we were meant to be.  Good health is a natural thing! We were created in perfection in the image and likeness of God, and we were placed in an atmosphere conducive to healing, offering up everything we need to live.   The universe is as it should be, and everything in it acts together in balance and harmony.  The design is completely unflawed.  Life was given to us in abundance, and God saw it as good. 

Celebrate life!  Not with fake food from which the vital nutrients have been stripped away...and not with beverage which dries up the cells of the body and brain making them brittle and dry.  Celebrate life's goodness with drink and food which reflect the goodness of life...food with the nutritional value intact and food which has not been senselessly tainted through un-natural means!  

Celebrate life with dancing and singing and laughing and loving!  These are gifts meant to bring happiness and healing to us!

Celebrate life by smelling the flowers...and the pine trees...and the wonderful smells of the fruit orchards and the sweetness in the air after a rain and the natural scent of your mate.  What could be better than natural fragrances?  (Synthetic ones are actually toxic to your nerves and brain!)

Celebrate life with prayers of thanksgiving and works to help others find a more healthy and joyous life.  Celebrate life with your family, your loved ones, with strangers and also alone with yourself.  Celebrate life in your heart!

Celebrate life by seeing the good in it ALL.

Blessings,

Natural is ALWAYS better.  Come on!  Everyone KNOWS that!  When is the fake product ever better than the real one?  When are artificial ingredients ever better than pure?  Why do we accept imitations so easily in food?  Why in medicine, too, of all things?  The public in general, I think, has been SCAMMED!

All Natural HealthWorks!  It's real! 

(If you don't think real is better, can I sell you a fake diamond, then?  Hahaha!  THINK about what you base quality on!  Just because it's well-known and used more than the real thing, doesn't make artificial as good!!!)

Just my thought for today!

Hmmm....

Naturall Yours in Good Health!

Please join us for a time of amazingly delicious and incomparably healthy food, fun and new-found friendship. It is for everyone who may be interested, not just the already committed pure raw foodist.

Arrive anytime after 7 pm--we will eat at 7:30. Bring a Raw Vegan dish (no meat, no dairy, and not heated over 110 degrees, organic if possible) along with serving utensils. Please also bring the recipe for the dish that you're sharing, so we can all learn!

The food we choose to consume plays a vital role in healing the body, mind and soul. Raw food is rejuvenating...life giving. Cooked and processed food is hard on the system and devoid of most of it's nutritional value. It's lost it's vitality, or vital energy. Raw food cleanses the system and restores enzymes, vitamins and minerals which are essential for mental and physical health. It is vibrant with life!

Raw food enthusiasts credit their diet with imparting physical vigor, mental clarity, and exceptional health. By following natural hygiene laws through a raw food diet, the body is given the chance it needs to detoxify and heal from years of the standard American diet.

Mankind originated on a raw food diet. Nothing can be healthier than fresh, organic, raw foods.

Let's enjoy getting to know others who want to learn more about how to eat truly healthy! Life begets life, and raw foods are brimming with LIFE! I am a doctor of naturopathy, and in my opinion, there's really nothing better than this to restore our vigor and health!

Thursday, October 1, 2009 - 7pm (we'll start eating at 7:30)
Essentials of Life Holistic Enrichment Center, 214 S. Prospect Ave., Hartville, Ohio

R.S.V.P. is greatly appreciated. If you don't have a dish to share, that's okay if you're in a rush. Or just stop at the store and pick up a dish...it's as easy as picking something up from the produce section. Please shop organic for this event as much as you can. (Pesticides and GMO foods aren't what we'd want for our health!)

Please bring your recipe along with your dish...and if you can, please bring a friend!

Hope to see everyone there who can come!!

Hello everybody.  I've been doing much better than I had been before.  I didn't realize what bad shape I was in.  Now I'm living a much healthier and happier life.  I've gotten back more into my roots.  I have been recuperating from years of excessive stress...on a sabbatical, to say...and allowing myself time to rebalance and heal. I'm so grateful for the regenerating power of Life!

I've always believed it was the most basic right and true gift from God to be able to accomplish good health and a feeling of overall well-being.  I truly believe good health is a natural thing. 

Natural's not always easy, however, because we've learned to live incredibly unnatural lives, and that's how we get out of balance and lose energy and get sick so much of the time.  It's happened too often with me as it does us all.  It occurs often through trauma or ill-conceived ways.  (Of course even ill-conceived ways, I believe, begin with trauma somewhere.  Even birth itself is a trauma, considering we used to live effortlessly in the spiritual realm.) 

The most important thing is to love yourself, God and others....and to always love and stay true to the good in all life.  Living a life on this earth isn't easy.  It never has been and it never will be.  Sometimes we take on a lot in a lifetime in order to learn.  This is how it's been for me.  This might include extreme sadness and grief, but it also includes plentiful joy and an abundance of satisfaction and peace.

So all I can tell you is to live as close to the heart of your heart, and to live close to nature as was provided.  This will help you in all aspects of life.  Eat food as close to being in it's natural state as you can.  Raw organic fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts, seeds, etc. are of course the absolute best.  Drink lots of pure water.  Stretch your body each day and move it in every way it will go.  I find this easiest to do in my own home with dance every morning to start.  This is good, too, because music is very healing in its own right.  It has the ability to make one feel happy or to release overburdening sadness from the heart just as well.  Take walks out in nature.  The forest, the meadow, the sunshine and all!  Love those that you love and bless those that curse you.  Love is the master cure.  Take time to commune with the God of your being, and give thanks for the goodness inherant in life.

These are the things I recommend for good health, and the most important food is your herbs.  Please visit my website at www.mynsp.com/eshelman and then ask me any questions you'd like to know by filling out the contact form on the site.  (There is no charge associated with this.)

Please watch the calendar on my website for I'll be posting many new wonderful things very soon, and you're more than welcome to join in on the learning and fun.  I wish I had time to write letters personally to all of my wonderful friends, or talk to you all on the phone.  I am doing wonderfully well on my journey to healing, so please don't worry for me but please pray for me and us all as I do. There is much to heal in this world and us all!  Enjoy the blessings of life...sing, love, dance, smell the beautiful fragrances of life, partake of good natural whole foods, herbs and clean water, breathe deeply, rejoice and take part in nature...and naturally good health will be the result.  Good health is a natural thing! Pain gets carried in the body as well as the mind.  The root causes need to be healed.

May blessings be abundant for you...

Massage is one of the oldest methods of healing in existance, and it's very powerful in its ability to go beyond the surface of tension and get to the root of the pain.  This is accomplished not only by the mechanics of the massage contact itself, but also by the energy flowing through the practitioner to the recipient of the massage.  Massage is a very effective means of working with the physical body, but it's also very effective in the emotional and spiritual realms, making it an excellent tool for holistic healing.

There are many forms of massage, each with it's own attributes for improving health.  LightTouch massage, for instance, identifies and corrects postural imbalance through very light manipulation of specific points, resulting in reduction of tension and pain.  Deep Tissue massage, on the other hand, focuses on specific joints, muscles or muscle groups, with the practitioner accessing deeper layers of tissue.  TriggerPoint Therapy applies pressure to areas of muscle which refer pain sensations to other parts of the body, leading to improved muscular function and immediate tension release. 

The list goes on and on!  There are literally hundreds of types of massage...Swedish, Thai, Neuromuscular, Breema, Shiatsu, Nerve Energy Alignment Technique (N.E.A.T.), Hot Stone Massage and so many more!  The type of massage I like best, however, is the aromatherapy full-body massage, ala-Vibraceous!  It's a little bit of Lomi Lomi thrown in with a whole lot of me.  It's just what comes naturally!

Lomi Lomi massage is a traditional form of massage used in Hawaii.  I didn't even realize that's the form of massage I was using until I saw it labeled as such on a video I watched, and then on others that I watched after that.  I don't wear the traditional Hawaiian dress, and I don't do much of a hula dance when I am performing massage, although my body does sway and move rhythmically while I'm giving the strokes. 

The main thing I see in common is the technique of the hands and also the basic intent of the massage.  The Lomi Lomi masseus (or masseur) sees her or himself as a channel of healing energy which they are passing on to the recipient with love.  That's the same way I see the work that I do.  I take a moment of silence before beginning every massage in which I open myself up as a channel for healing good.  Every massage that I give is slightly different, as I ask for guidance in where healing is needed and then I let intuition guide all my strokes.  

As to the technique that I use, I perform full body strokes, with the forearms being used quite a bit.   The strokes are smooth and flowing, and different parts of the body may be massaged at the same time.  This creates an extremely relaxing affect on the body and mind.  The mind cannot focus easily upon two separate parts of the body being massaged at the same time, and so it simply releases control and lets go, imparting a sense of inner harmony and peace.   I also incorporate right-left brain integration techniques into the massages I give.  Lomi Lomi massage also pays special attention to the internal visceral organs, focusing a portion of each session upon the abdominal region.

The word Lomi Lomi actually is translated to mean, "massage," and it is considered to be one of the most profound forms of massage, as it reaches into the inner spirit where true healing occurs.  Another name for this type of massage is the "Loving Hands Massage."  This is because the intent of the practitioner is fixed upon giving love to the recipient and infusing it into each movement and stroke of the hand.  To those such as myself who hold the spiritual belief that everything can be healed by love, this is the most powerful massage in the world when given in the spirit of Love.

This type of massage is very effective in removing mental and emotional blocks to our healing, such as deep rooted negative beliefs, resentments, fears, and scars from past traumas which keep us from being well.  Wellness is the natural state of our being.  When the blocks are removed and techniques are used to restore a state of internal balance, then it is natural for the body to manifest wellness, given the proper nourishment and nurturing it needs. 

Nourishment, yes...as a doctor of naturopathy, I can help you in designing a nourishment plan for your good health, if you'd like, to include whole healthy foods and the proper use of food supplements to optimize your level of health.  Wellness depends upon many factors, and proper nourishment the body is something which can drastically improve ANY condition you're in! 

Herbs are nutrition.  Herbs are the original food-source of all vitamins, minerals, and other vital nutrients.  I often recommend herbs when working with anyone in an effort to help them make the most of their health.  Herbs are not drugs, they are food.   Herbs work in the body in such a way as to enable it to function according to its natural and perfect design.

In massage, plant medicine can easily be applied through the use of essential oils.  Essential oils are pure plant essences extracted through the process of distillation, and applied to health through inhalation or direct application, where the plant constituents are absorbed into the blood through the skin. 

The main purpose of an aromatherapy massage is the application of essential oils to relax the body and mind, as well as to impart the specific effects of the oils being used.  In my massages I use essential oils which are generally very relaxing, uplifting, and pain relieving.  If more targeted results are desired, I am available for clinical aromatherapy massage, too.  This is where I gather information from you to assist me in choosing the oils which would be most appropriate to target your particular condition of health.

It is commonly thought, even amongst many experienced massage professionals, that in order for deeper  healing to occur that the deeper parts of the body structure need to be directly massaged, rather than just a lighter massage.  The use of heavy oil is often seen as a detriment to the basic goals of massage, as it does make the hands slide a great deal, making it difficult to dig in really deep.  When using the type of massage that I use, however, it is not necessary to work deep in order to achieve good results.  The essential oils do much of the work, and the effects last much longer than without using the oils.  Also, a more permanent effect can occur over time with consistent exposure to essential oils.

The carrier oils that I use also play a big role in the effects of the massage.  I use high quality oils which still have their nutrient properties intact.  I choose oils which are very nourishing and replenshing to skin as well as to muscles.  It's important what type of oils that you use if you want to enhance the massage!  A lot of practitioners use oils which are not beneficial, and many use oils and lotions which carry synthetic or harmful ingredients into the body.  Remember...what you put on goes in!   If you wouldn't eat it, you should not put it onto your skin, particularly during a healing massage. 

Healing music also takes the effect of massage to deeper levels.  Music has the power to relax us and bring our being into harmony through it's rhythm and harmonic chords which resonate inside the listener, ushering peace and tranquility in.  Evn music which is meant to stimulate is very relaxing when it resonates within the deepest parts of ourselves.

And again, when giving a massage with the mind centered on love, there is no need to have to go DEEP with your muscles, if you can go deep with your mind and your heart!  This is what to look for in choose a practitioner...someone who's able to freely give of themselves and devote the time to being a channel through which healing energy is able to flow.   This goes deeper into the tissues than any amount of deep tissue work can possibly go.

Full-body aromatherapy massage performed in this way is a great all-over healer. It's very relaxing and it feels great! (I'll wake you up when we're done!)

Why not schedule an appointment for yourself and find out how good it feels to relax.  I charge $75 per hour, and I'm very flexible in the hours I work.  Just let me know what time's good for you and I'll see if I can accommodate you.  Mornings are best, but I run a natural health business full time, so anytime is okay, depending upon the day and prior commitments.  I work some evenings and weekends, as well.  I'm easy to find...located on State Rt. 43, just a couple blocks south of 619. 

In addition to massage I also offer wellness consultations and extended natural health services to individuals seeking to make the most of their health naturally. I am a doctor of naturopathy, nationally certified by the American Naturopathic Certification Board.  If you'd like to know more about this, let me know.

Naturally Yours in Good Health!

A definitive review and close reading of medical peer-review journals, and government health statistics shows that American medicine frequently causes more harm than good.

Report: Drug Errors Injure 1.5 Million By Todd Zwillich

WebMD Medical News Reviewed By Louise Chang, MD on Thursday, July 20, 2006 July 20, 2006 -- About 1.5 million Americans are injured each year because of errors in their medications, an Institute of Medicine (IOM) report concluded Thursday. The report estimates that such errors in hospitals alone cost the health system well over $3.5 billion per year. That does not include errors made at doctors' offices, pharmacies, long-term care facilities, and in patients' own homes.

The report says on average a hospital patient is subjected to at least one medication error per day.

Experts said that dangerous interactions between drugs probably account for the majority of medication mistakes. But errors and misinterpretations occur at any of dozens of points between a drug's manufacture and when a patient receives treatment.

Preventable Errors

"Many of these errors are preventable," said J. Lyle Bootman, PhD, who chaired the panel issuing the report. The report calls on Congress to drastically boost funding for research into the causes of medication errors, noting that only a few million dollars annually are spent on studies now.

A 1999 Institute of Medicine report estimated that more than 7,000 Americans are killed by medication mistakes each year. "We think that medication errors deserve a really serious commitment. We need to rethink our priorities," said Albert W. Wu, MD, an IOM panel member who is also professor of health policy at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Md.

U.S. doctors now prescribe more than 14,000 drugs, not including the huge range of over-the-counter medications, supplements, and herbal remedies in many Americans' medicine cabinets. The report called for policy makers to speed the development of electronic systems to help catch prescribing mistakes and alert doctors to potential drug interactions.

"It's virtually impossible to be able to track that any more by yourself," Wilson D. Pace, MD, a professor of family medicine at the University of Colorado and a panel member, said of the number of drugs on the U.S. market. Even well-informed physicians and pharmacists face hurdles when ordering drugs.

The FDA is trying to cut down on drug names that sound or look alike. Pharmacists still have to contend with notoriously bad doctors' handwriting, and patients frequently don't inform their doctors about all the drugs they're taking.

More Active Patients

The Institute of Medicine advises Congress on science and health care, and often does so at a level of bureaucratic detail beyond the interest of most members of the public. But experts Thursday appealed directly to consumers to help cut down on medication errors by actively tracking their medications and other treatments. They urged patients to maintain lists of all treatments and to become active in double-checking medications at the pharmacy and at home.

The report also urges patients to:

• Have the provider explain how to use medications properly.
• Get in writing, the name, dosage, purpose, and directions for taking each drug.
• Maintain a list of all drugs and other over-the-counter treatments and take it along for every doctor visit.
• Discuss side effects.
• Discuss drug interactions with other drugs, foods, and diseases.

"There's no way a provider can get them into their system without you telling them about it," Pace said. "If you can, become a more active member of the health care team. If you aren't sure of something, ask," Wu said.

Sound-Alike Names

The FDA recently moved to make drug safety labels more consumer-friendly. Only one drug has so far included the new label in packaging, according to the agency. The FDA is also preparing to issue guidance for the drug industry on how to avoid look-alike, sound-alike names that can confuse patients and health providers.

"We're trying to get companies to seriously think about the names before they submit them to us," Carol Holquist, director of the agency's division of medication errors, tells WebMD.

The report also calls on all physicians to use electronic prescribing systems by 2010. While some hospitals and pharmacies are moving to electronic prescribing, small doctors' offices have been slower to use the technology because of cost. Wu acknowledged that some doctors may chafe at being asked to provide written descriptions on every drug they prescribe to patients. "We'll get used to it," he said. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------SOURCES: "Preventing Medication Errors," Institute of Medicine, July 20, 2006.

Medical Malpractice Statute of limitations by State

THIS LIST OF MEDICAL MALPRACTICE STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS IS LIMITED AND IS NOT INTENDED TO BE COMPREHENSIVE. THERE ARE OTHER EXCEPTIONS AND TIME PERIODS THAT APPLY TO MOST CASES. THEREFORE, YOU MUST CONSULT A LAWYER WITHOUT DELAY. In addition, special rules and exceptions exist in many states for medical malpractice cases. For example, minors can have the statute "tolled" or stopped until they reach the age of majority in many states. Many states toll the medical malpractice statute for incapacity. Often language exists in the statute that does not start the time limit running until the victim knew or "should have known" about the malpractice. Special rules can exist for medical malpractice involving hidden surgical instruments or "foreign object" cases, in which malpractice is difficult to find in a timely manner. In addition, where there is a death from medical malpractice, many states have "wrongful death" statutes that govern the time limit for bringing an action. Stautes of repose can also place absolute time limits on these exceptions. These rules and exceptions exist in almost all states so you should not merely rely on the general rule, but should seek legal counsel as to the specific rules and exceptions in your state governing medical malpractice Statutes of Limitations.

Blog: URGENT CALL FOR LIGHTWORKERS AND PRAYER!    This is my mom.  She's 93 and the sweetest lady you'd hope to meet.  They almost killed her.  Read how. 

How many times have they almost made deadly mistakes with your loved ones?  This is not the first time for us, but it is by far the saddest...To let an elderly person almost die of thirst in an extended care facility is about as low as you can possibly get!

My mom would be dead right now if I hadn't been of the mind to stir up such a fuss.  The nurse kept trying to tell me that she was just tired.  Here she was severely dehydrated and dying...Worn out from trying to run her bodily functions without any water.  Water is essential to LIFE!

Sometimes it's just the simple things that make the difference...not drugs...but something as simple as water. 

Please read my share.  This hits hard when it hits this close to home...and it's happening more and more all the time.

Nursing Home Abuse Statistics

The reported nursing home abuse statistics only solidify the fears that nursing home abuse has become a widespread nationwide concern. Reports show nursing home abuse statistics that 30% of the facilities are cited for instances of abuse. Still, even more alarming is the nursing home abuse statistics showing that the majority of all nursing home abuse instances are never even reported. The nursing home abuse statistics include severe instances of abuse ranging from death to malnutrition and dehydration, inadequate medical care, and many other serious injuries and conditions.

Nursing home abuse statistics have raised serious concern as to how to even begin fixing this problem that has already taken countless lives and injured and devastated so many already. Even investigative reporters shedding light on one of the nation's greatest law enforcement challenges of today have been alarmed and appalled at the nursing home abuse statistics. The Special Investigations Division of the House Government Reform Committee prepared a study of nursing home abuse and the nursing home abuse statistics that were gathered from the report caused committee leaders and members to be shocked. The growing number of elders in the country will create an even larger challenge that has been placed on the nation as a whole to drastically and immediately reduce the nursing home abuse statistics.

If you or someone you love has been the victim of nursing home abuse, contact a nusing home abuse lawyer to learn your legal rights!

Why Trusting Your Pharmacist Could Put Your Health at Risk

We're urged to see our chemist about 'minor' ills but how safe is their advice?

Bringing home (the wrong) baby  by Sandy Maple Nov 9th 2008 10:00AM

Like a lot of expectant parents do, 35-year-old Cristina Zahariuc purchased an outfit for her newborn baby to wear home from the hospital. So when it finally came time to bring little Ana Maria home, the hospital staff dutifully changed the newborn into her 'going home' clothes. The happy family returned to their Horlesti, Romania home and all was going well until Zahariuc unwrapped her little bundle of joy for her first diaper change. "Only when I got home and I invited some friends and the baby's godparents to see her did I notice my girl had a penis. I was paralyzed," said Zahariuc.

No, the hospital had not been mistaken about the sex of the Zahariuc's newborn baby - they had sent the new parents home with the wrong newborn baby. Apparently the little boy they were given had a very similar last name - Zaharia - and was situated in a cot right next to Ana Maria's.

Obviously, the confused parents immediately called the hospital where they were treated like pranksters. "It was very strange though. We were calling the hospital to tell them about the confusion and they were hanging up on us saying we should stop fooling around. They thought we were playing tricks on them," said new dad Constantin Zahariuc.

I guess all is well that ends well, but imagine how different things could have turned out. If the Zaharia infant had been a girl, there is a good chance the mix up might never have been detected. Tragedy averted thanks to a penis!

So I want to thank you for letting me be myself.  I could have waited to put myself out there in a position of helping the way that I've done until I felt more comfortable in the way I'd be perceived.  Instead, my readers and clients and friends have allowed me to just be myself...struggling along like everyone else, and trying to apply what I know...attempting to learn html just to get out the word about natural health, and all of the other things I've stumbled through!  If I would have waited until I could afford to hire a webmaster, you wouldn't be reading this now.

This all brings me to what I'd like to say...THANK YOU, THANK YOU SO MUCH!  I've been so well received by the people I've interacted with through writing this blog and my other activity online that it has made my work very, very worthwhile!  I've received so many notes, cards, phone calls and letters telling me how much what I do has helped.  That keeps me going, because I want so much to be a channel for healing good!  So thank you for letting me know!

I'm also verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry thankful for what we've been given to heal. 

AIR to breathe into our lungs and to carry throughout our whole entire body to live! 

WATER to refresh our every cell and to move the nutrients along and the impurities out.  

FOOD the way it was created...perfect, whole, nutritious, tasty andGOOD without GMO's!!!

HERBS which are really foods, too!!!!  Herbs are food to every part of our body and provide what is needed to heal.

AROMA which is natural and fragrantly healing, touching us through the most sensitive parts of our mind.

COLOR to wrap us in vibrational healing, there to excite, calm, inspire and heal us in a rainbow of light.

SOUND - sounds of laughter, of birds, of raindrops, of singing, of crickets, of frogs and so many things which resonate through us to give vibratory healing clear down to the bone.  Even the deaf benefit from sound healing, as do those with no voice of their own.  Sound is healing both to hear and to make.  Mostly it's something to feel.  Sound touches us in so many ways.

MOVEMENT which carries our body from here to there to carry out the tasks we shoudl do.  Movement that stretches us, and keeps our blood flowing.  Movement of everything in us, representing vibration, again.  (You can see where I got my name!  Vibraceous is symbolic of all vibrational healing, which occurs in every form.)

RELAXATION is important, too.  I forget that sometimes and I go, go, go, but then Life steps in and MAKES me relax when I don't take the time to do it myself!  That's when my body gives way.  It's much easier and more effetive and less stressful to just do it in the first place, I find.  Meditation seems to take time, but in the long run it saves it by much.  Meditation, sleep, and just plain letting all problems go and enjoying a quiet moment or two, even if in front of TV.  (I don't even have TV!  I really do need to learn to relax!  Hahaha!)

LAUGHTER to massage the happy zone in our brain and to move all our organs around to feel good!  Laughter is a really good thing and it sets happy and healthy chemicals off, besides oxygenating our bodies and a lot of other good healthy things. It also keeps our attitude up and that's always good in the healing realm.

TEARS are good, too...they release toxins and pain, besides of course washing our eyes.  They wash our souls is what they do the best.  There's a lot to be said for just sitting down and having a good cry now and then!  Sometimes we think that we're not allowed.  That's one of the biggest health problems I know!  Waters flow for a reason for good within and without.

PRAYER has so much power to heal.  Prayer has ALL the power, in fact!  Positive prayers of belief that there is perfection within our design.  Prayers asking for guidance of how to proceed.  Prayers to have an open mind in the face of all else we are told, to keep believing that we can be healed.  Prayers to see the good in life every day and to focus on only GOOD.  (I believe God is Good!)

LOVE - of ourselves, of each other, of God.  Love can heal all wounds and comfort all pain.  Love of friends, family, animals, and life itself is what heals better than anything else.  Even in death, when there is love, there is life.  

I'm very thankful for the awareness of these healing gifts, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to pass this awareness along.  It's more than an opportunity to me, it's a responsibility...part of what allows me to become more and more aware of these gifts all the time.  It is in helping othres I learn.  (Not that I'm practicing medicine...I'm not licensed for that!  But I'm am trying to pratice as much natural health as I can!)

Today I am going to go to my mother's.  Perhaps you've read of her in my writings before.  My mom's 93 and cute as can be.  She's the one who first taught me about natural health.  I'm so happy to be able to be with her today!

Then on Sunday I'm going to cook here at home with the kids, and I'm also looking real forward to that!  I'm going to make everything homemade....dressing, mushroom gravy, organic sweet corn and mashed pototoes and fluffy green salad and real cranberries that pop!  I love it!  Sweet potatoes with butter I'm going to whip myself from fresh cream, and whipped cream for on top of the homemade pumpkin pie that I"m going to make!  Woo hoo!  I don't eat turkey, but someone gave one to us and my kids and the cats and the dog will make sure it did not die in vain.  God bless all the sweet turkeys at this time of year for the terrible sacrifice they make for us.

I'm grateful for all the animals and all the sacrifices they make, and I pray that people will learn to be kind. 

I'm grateful for the beauty in all of nature, in everyone, in every song of the bird and every beautiful rainbow and smile.

I'm so thankful for my mom and my kids and my grandson and my sister and brother and all my cats, dogs and friends!  I'm grateful for the people who have taught me so much, especially those that I serve. 

I'm grateful for the relief from sickness I've had in my life, and I'm grateful to be free from drugs, alcohol, tobacco, and the addiction to many foods which are not good for me. 

I'm grateful for my home, for my health, for the daily bread that I eat. 

I'm grateful for the books and the knowledge I have and the experiences which have helped me along the way, and all the people with blessings and lessons for me. 

I'm just grateful to be alive, especially when there have been so many times in my own personal life when I've almost died, mostly through my own neglegence to do things according to nature, although sometimes I just didn't know.  In all of those cases I'm extremely grateful for GRACE! 

I'm thankful to God for creating and sustaining all this.

So many things to be grateful for, even in hard times.  I'm grateful to learn from the hard times and use them to soften my soul, and I'm grateful for the good times that come as surely as the rising sun.  

I'm grateful to know that there's nothting that cannot be healed...no physical injury, no sickness, no relationship problem, no financial crisis...there's nothing, NOTHING that cannot be healed!
