Sunday School...2 Nephi 1...the past week's study reminded me of the importance of faith and willing obedience.
Praying For...Tyson and Nikki...safety, peace, happiness, and comfort for children all over the world...for leaders of nations to turn from following the wrong master...people of the world to accept and embrace the Prince of Peace
Scripture Meditations...When I see the face of a child, I see the face of God. Jesus told us to become as little children, childlike but not childish. Because of their sweetness and innocence, little children bring out the best in me."Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven." Matthew 18:3 "Brethren, be not children in understanding: howbeit in malice be ye children, but in understanding be men." 1 Corinthians 14:20
The Herbalist...using herbs to heal body and spirit, I have seen miracles. Chronic infections and illnesses are sometimes hard to clear up. Many people don't consider the lymph system, when cleansing the body of toxins. When I began this journey, I had my standard treatment protocol for all disease. For any chronic infection, start with the complete mucusless diet, miso and/or kim chi, carrot juice, and 1oz. distilled water per lb. of body weight. Additionally, begin using Lower Bowel formula. After a few weeks add Liver/Gallbladder Formula followed by Kidney a week or two later. Finally, cleanse to the cellular level with Blood Stream. Often the 'big four' is enough. However, I've found using fifth and sixth formulas, Lymphatic (aka Infection) and Lung and Bronchial speed up the process tremendously. Also, I've discovered with chronic infection the adrenals are often sluggish and the hormones are usually a mess. To give the person energy to go on and help them maintain a positive attitude, Adrenal Formula and Hormonal Change-ease are needed. Then we work on specific inherited or acquired bodily weaknesses: heart, thyroid, nervous system, and so forth. This seems like a lot of herbs to some. Instead of looking at herbs as medicine, I see them as plant foods that clean, feed, and build specific parts of the body such as flax or chia seeds with their omega-3s and fiber. When the body is chronically infected, inflammation becomes a huge problem. Inflammation can lead to other chronic disease. After adopting these cleansing and building foods, inflammation calms down and pain leaves. Yes, I know these formulas are not my own. Although I have developed a few formulas, I like Dr. Christopher's very much. They have been used for decades with great success; if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Project Joy...I'm ever so grateful for central heating, warm blankets, wool socks, sunny weather, and a hard working, loving husband.
