Don’t stand in the Shadows with health care

December 27, 2019by T.MeeksLeave a Comment

There are many questions when it comes to healthcare, but we should be more in control. First there should always be a second opinion. Mistakes happen! Right ? We are all capable of making mistakes. Then opinions on how to handle the situation come into play, one doctor might go the extra step & order a couple additional test or maybe they have some insight into the situation and would go completely a different route, offering a different course of treatment.

The first thing I do is turn to the internet and look up my diagnosis so that I completely understand, then I research treatments.

Now I have my second diagnosis and have been on the internet so I am fully aware of my options, I go over my concerns with my primary doctor.

If possible at least by this point, I believe everyone should take a loved one or…

October 19, 2019October 27, 2019by T.MeeksLeave a Comment

Wooly lamb’s ear typically thought of as a textured addition to landscapes, but it has amazing antibacterial,
anti-viral and anti-inflammatory
properties and is useful in the treatment of cuts abrasions and bruises in addition to reducing
fevers and swelling due to insect bites and bee stings. It also has super absorbent properties, it makes a perfect make-shift bandage, causing the blood to clot more quickly and the fuzzy leaves absorb blood. Has been used by women for menses before the invention of feminine products.

If living off grid this is a must have plant they’re drought tolerant, and deer resistant. They are also super easy to grow.

Please comment if you know a recipe for this plant. Thanks

Coconut oil is it a Superfood?

October 7, 2019October 31, 2019by T.MeeksLeave a Comment

There have been many studies on coconut oil, below are some reasons I believe in the power of coconut oil inside and out.

#1. Can heal or slow the growth of Cancer cells. Remember always use unrefined virgin or organic coconut oil, (never processed or hydrogenated). There are many many articles and u -tube videos with backed up data, some of which I mentioned below. This makes it a super food to me!

#2. Coconut oil contains fatty acids.

These fatty acids are high in healthy saturated fats. They raise good HDL. They are medium chain triglycerides.

Medium chain triglycerides are harder for the body to convert into fat and easier to burn than long chain triglycerides. Medium chain fatty acids posses same anti microbial properties found in breast milk. Therefore being able to kill bacteria that form many diseases and infections, like Candida and yest infections.

Coconut oil can aid you in weight loss, even help control diabetes. There is a lot to read about Coconut oil. Want to just chill & listen? look up benefits of coconut oil on u- tube!

I have read many studies and the one I found most interesting is Dr.Bruce Fife, who said he has researched what other researcher’s have written about coconut oil. iving magazine said They consider Dr Fife “one of the world’s leading experts on coconut oil.”

#3 Coconut oil can protect your hair, skin and teeth.

Coconut oil can be used as a moisturizer as well as an antibiotic.

Coconut oil can be used as a lubricant.

Coconut oil improves hydration as well as elasticity. Coconut oil contains vitamins A and E which slow down the aging process.

How to get rid of wrinkles using coconut oil…(read the article at stylecraze.com)

There are many uses such as oil pulling. Oil pulling is an ancient practice

I hope you find many uses for coconut oil. Have a blessed day!

Don’t forget eat healthy, get plenty of sleep and give thanks to your higher power.

Why are you giving your family drugs?

September 25, 2019October 28, 2019by T.MeeksLeave a Comment

Hardly anyone wants to believe the severity of damage from sugar, but the truth is it’s catastrophic. We are abusing our body with drugs, because sugar is found in almost everything we drink and eat. Sugar like a drug has no nutritional value and does not have proteins, minerals or vitamins. Furthermore our bodies crave it, we even get a withdrawal when we quit using it. So “Sugar is a drug”.

We turn to Ice cream, cookies and even chips when we are sad and blue. We get a craving for a candy bar, our favorite shake. We finish our meals with dessert. These are the same behaviors we have when consuming alcohol, drugs and even nicotine.

I read an article called the “sugar detox” by the people’s chemist, the article stated that heroin was easier to quit. “Wow”he has also stated sugar ages us. More important he talks about how it triggers receptors in the brain. The sugar makes us crave stuff like nicotine, alcohol and drugs, bringing up another can of worms “quiting smoking, drinking or drugs” can be much harder when we are feeding our bodies “Sugar”.

There are different forms of sugar one being high fructose corn syrup used in many products. This has been linked to “Fatty liver” The effects are devastating to our bodies by promoting inflammation, Obesity, type 2 diabetes and even heart disease. Inflammation and insulin resistance leads to certain cancers. There have even been studies linking sugar to depression. Let’s not forget the fact it increases aging in a cellular level.

The recommended daily allowence for a women is 6 teaspoons and 9 teaspoons for a man. Most people consume up to 10x the recommended daily allowence. This means 1sweet tea or Soda (any sugared drink) has already put you past your recommended daily allowence. There is an article @ Healthline.com That list 56 most common names for sugar. This is a must read article.

Bottom line we need to cut back on sugar. For our health and the health of our families.

So what are your thoughts? Please let me know. Have a blessed day! Remember to eat right, get adequate sleep and give thanks to your higher power.

Don’t stand in the Shadows with health care

The first thing I do is turn to the internet and look up my diagnosis so that I completely understand, then I research treatments.

Now I have my second diagnosis and have been on the internet so I am fully aware of my options, I go over my concerns with my primary doctor.

If possible at least by this point, I believe everyone should take a loved one or a friend with them, it’s easy to miss some of what the doctor said because your still trying to process what he or she said 10 min ago. I have never tried recording a conversation with my doctor but it could be something that I might try. Because again we all make mistakes and it’s important to know what the plan entails.

My purpose in writing this is to encourage you to always look for a solution in different areas. Never should we just blindly go into anything, always keep your faith and stay positive.

The mind is very powerful, So keep an open mind and stay optimistic.

Have a blessed day! Remember to eat healthy, get adequate sleep and give thanks to your higher power

This morning there was a news article about this subject, a doctor herself was having a heart attack but yet was told she was not! Had she not stood up for herself she may not have gotten proper treatment. “Don’t stand in the shadows”

Dandelion discovery

June 30, 2019November 6, 2019by T.MeeksLeave a Comment

I couldn’t believe that dandelions were actually “Good ” People spend a lot of money & time on getting rid of theses beautiful “weeds”.

When I was foraging for the few remaining dandelion’s, I took this picture.

My earliest memories of Dandelions were of course when they went to seed & you could blow on them & the little white ball would float in the air for a moment and scatter in the wind, This white puff contains the seeds.

I will list the top 5 benefits of Dandelion’s

#1 They have anti inflammatory properties. That’s what makes Dandelion’s such a great choice for a salve, rubbing this on your hands or any body parts needing help to reduce inflammation, therefore helping to relieve pain. Can be very benificial to those suffering from arthritis. Inflammation can lead to many serious diseases, so reducing inflammation should be high on our priority list.

#2 Dandelion’s have high source if vitamins, A, C, K & E making these dandelion’s benificial topically & orally. Really good on your skin. Including minerals, Iron, calcium, magnesium. & Potasium. These make Dandelion’s useful in many applications, including “Amazing Salve”

#3 Dandelion’s help rid your liver of toxins . Just wash the little yellow flower & eat 1 or two a day. You can also drink Dandelion tea. Research has been done on mice & the results were amazing . Mice that had been given high doses of toxins, had bounced back due to Dandelion’s.

#4 Dandelion’s have been used medically to treat high triglycerides, high blood pressure and high cholesterol. There are several ways to introduce dandelions into our diet, one form is drinking dandelion tea.

Always check with your doctor before adding anything medically to your routine.

#5 Dandelion’s contain potent antioxidants. Antioxidants are molecules that help prevent free radicals. Too many free radicals speeds up aging. Dandelion’s also are rich in beto- carotene that works really well to prevent signs of aging. Using a blend with dandelion and coconut oil is a great way to moisturize your skin while adding natural benefits.

Before Find n Beauty

Featuredby T.MeeksLeave a Comment

I had Cancer when I was in my early 20’s. For me the effects we’re devestating and life changing!

I didn’t have to endure any Chemo or Radiation but I did have a partial hysterectomy. That kept me from having any more children. (I started having children at a very young age.) Thanks to God because I don’t know how I would have delt with not ever becoming a mother, However for me it was deveistating just knowing the choice was taken from me.

Then almost to the day two years later I had another form of Cancer and had to have a complete hysterectomy. That threw me into a change of life, with hot flashes and total upset to my mind and body, some would say I became crazed!

Then in my 50’s I was getting ready for a doctor’s appointment and while I was in the shower I felt a lump in my breast, so I mentioned it to my doctor. That day lead to a series of days filled with fear.

I had a mammogram followed by a procedure. The nurse practitioner was supposed to take a piece of that lump for testing, Well it started out that way but then the nurse called in another then the attending physician. For me it was a confirmation, but the actual confirmation came a couple days later, & within days I had surgery & had both breast removed. That was 4 years ago.

Let me back up to the evening I got confirmation. I had always feared number three, I guess I associated with “Strike three your out”… I prayed and asked God to take control because I couldn’t do it on my own, then I heard a voice saying “They are going to take both breast but it’s going to be alright” that simple but it put me at such ease. I had the surgery and as God had assured me everything turned out alright. FindnBeauty in everything!

I will publish ways to keep our bodies healthy and therefore warding off Cancer. There are so many beliefs but what most have in common make sense, eat natural foods, avoid chemicals, exercise mind and body, but really important to get adequate sleep and give Thanks to your higher power.
