Hi Lonnie....I have to say I heartily agree with you...the first time I read

those numbers about the deaths from Rx drugs....I couldn't believe it!

I'll just keep on drinking my Kombucha and Water Kefir....and my good

water....

Happy New Year's to all of you!!

Thanks Lonnie, Similar experiences here. Family, friends all dropping

off the edge of the world all around me,

others hopelessly disabled via strokes, etc. My father was totally

disabled at the ripe old age of 49 due to strokes, brought on my not only a

horrible diet, but lousy lifestyle that included entirely too much work and

almost no time for relaxation and heaven forbid any form of play.

You cannot save the world, you can only change your own. Congratulations for

making a stand, its not easy with all the media hype pulling us in another

direction.

Bottom line is, when you truly take control of your own healthcare, its more

than just a philosophical decision. This requires a lot of work and even more

study. We never quit seeking and learning and then implementing what we learn.

Every aspect of your life is involved in the process. What you eat, when

you eat, how much you eat, Sleep patterns, exercise patterns, how you deal

with dinner invitations, eating in restaurants, learning to create your own

herbal medicines. I found that making this switch requires many layers as

with the onion, it simply cannot be done overnight. Eliminating all

processed foods from our diet is not as easy as it sounds, but it can be done.

My recent venture is in obtaining organic grains and grinding my own

flours., then creating a pseudo bisquik like

mixture to make baking times less expensive ( timewise). In other words

creating my own convenience foods- I am still working full time and long

shifts, so time is of the essence for me.

Getting OFF all pharmaceuticals was a decision I made just last year. In

order to do that I had to have some herbal preps in place and ready to go.

Kombucha certainly aided in this process, so did both the Kefirs and other

herbal teas.

At no time during this year have I even been tempted to go back to the OTC

remedies I had used previously.

I cannot tell you how much better my body feels after being completely drugFREE

for all this time. There is however a rather demanding regimen that must be

adhered to religiously in order to prevent problems from developing due to

some rather bad dental problems. ( NO I am not considering Dental Care when

they are demanding $20,000 up front before they even begin !!!!!))) My

solutions are working at least for now. No swelling, no sign of infection, no

pain and as long as this doesn't change I have no incentive to change my

protocol.

Each of you must make your own decisions, I can only share with you what I

have chosen to do for myself and how well it is working for me.

Healthy Diet and Nutrition ( Organic fresh fruits & veggies, grass fed meats,

RAW Milk)

Colon Cleansing ( Preferably done with diet)

Detoxing heavy metals and other ooglies

Probiotics - Kombucha, Kefir and Water Kefir

Unprocessed Sea Salts

Omega 3's

Coconut Oil and Raw Honey

Herbal Remedies ( grown and created with my own hands)

Colloidal Silver ( Created by myself) www.silverpuppy.com

Lugol's Solution ( The original 5% solution) www.jcrows.com

These are my priorities in the exact order as stated here.
