Episode 1 - Modern Medicine & the Cancer Pandemic

Procrastination and distraction

Today I must start cleaning and decluttering but, there is probably a really important e-mal that I must read or a Facebook post, and there is that 'stuff' that I have to research for someone.  Distraction and procrastination can very often keep me from doing something that I just don't like doing; such as cleaning house (decluttering), but I must, I must.
Last week I just brought more stuff into the house and now I must either remove it or remove other stuff to make room for what I added; that is what the books say that I should do and while I am trying to declutter the spiders are making more webs, the dust bunnies are collecting and the dogs are leaving more waste/fur/etc.  It is a rainy gloomy day and I do not want to do anything except read, lie on my biomat and comb my dogs, so why not at the age of 80 do what I like???
Taking my supplements today and a smoothie with added Bio-Energy C and of course, I must have another cup of hot coffee with added organic raw milk......................

just wondering

I am perplexed that people will allow themselves to be so self centered that they are unable to get out, meet people, help others and generally get involved in life.  I have been distributing my little book: The Reinvention of You and Me, just hoping that some one will follow some of my suggestions and make a life that will help themselves and others.
Today is very wet, rained all night and I had to almost swim to the barn to feed my farm animals, as I walked out the backdoor into the rain an old dead redbud tree began to slowly fall to the ground. It was like watching a slow motion movie. Not a big tree but the snarled old root system finally could not hold itself together in this wet soggy ground. 
It took me a very long time this morning just to get this old computer open and then it is reluctant to let me type on it, so I just went of QVC and ordered a new laptop for 5 easy payments, my stress levels every day will diminish a lot.  I will probably live several years longer just because I got rid of that stress. I revealed to someone the other day that I would rather go without food than to go without a computer.  So I guess for the next 5 months, I had better eat less and enjoy my computer more.......

my 80th birthday

It has come to my attention that I am now 80 years old, that is an accomplishment that many do not achieve and I am very grateful to have reached that milestone in life.  I do feel better than I did 40 years ago. How does that happen?
I had a really big birthday dinner prepared by my family and many of my friends celebrated with me.  Because I could visit with these wonderful friends, that made me happy.  I just could not talk fast enough.  The Kansas City Royals are winning in October, the St. Louis Cardinals are winning in post season too and they are making me happy.  The beautiful weather is giving me great sunshine and wonderful breeze, the birds are singing and my animals are all free of disease, so what can be wrong in  my life. 
On my Facebook post, I related that I had contact from friends from the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s and on until new friends that I am making this week. At my birthday dinner I had people from church mission trips, people I met when working with John Hawkins, people from my class and the holistic wellness conference, people from organic gardening, people from my pet sitting, etc. etc.  We lead so many lives and we learn from each of them. 
I started distributing my newest book this week and hope it is enjoyed by many: The Reinvention of You and Me..

Achieving Optimal Wellness While Living on a Toxic Planet - Dr. Gary Gordon

Stomach cramps, Home remedies:

Usually what I am seeing is diagnosed as a virus but most of the people I have talked to “it is very painful cramping in stomach area”.  It does not matter when it is happening, what caused it, you just want to relieve the pain and then you can figure out what caused it.

Suggestions:

• Sip  warm Chamomile or ginger tea
• Warm castor oil pack to abdomen, a great remedy for lots of stuff so if you do not know how to make a castor oil pack, learn how and use it.
• Homeopathic:  Belladonna, Mag phos, nux vermica, all these should be in your medicine cabinet at all times so study them and use them, they are inexpensive and do not have expiration date.
• Rest and relax when possible
• If you feel the ‘gas’ moving about, take a small enema to relieve the gas. If you do not have an enema bag, those small enemas in plastic bottle will work and you can always use just plain warm water in the bottle.
• Drink Aloe Vera juice
• Eat fennel seeds
• Take an Epson salts bath, or soak your feet in warm Epson salts

You may try several of these because none will have a harmful effect. 

It is so painful and sudden sometimes and you do not have time to think, so if you can make up a little box of this stuff and keep it handy, it may save you a hospital bill and the trauma of going to the ER.  When you feel like it, start sipping on sodas, cocobiotic or other fizzy drink and do not become dehydrated. 

I don't believe it!

It was hard for me to believe but I have had a week of unusual abdominal activity.  Last week I did not feel super so just fixed a Quinoa salad and then later we had my daughter's birthday dinner.  That night I had an episode of abdominal cramping, lots of gas and felt nausea. I did not sleep at all and the next day was not feeling well enough to eat, finally broke down and sipped a grape soda, that made me feel better and by the next day, Monday I felt well enough to at least want my coffee.  Felt better until Wednesday when I decided to eat some quinoa and freeze dried vegetables, Wednesday night had another attack, got out of bed, gave myself a small enema and layed on the biomat with a castor oil pack on my tummy and by morning was feeling better but no sleep.  Yesterday I spent most of the day napping with my animals and sipped a bit of grape soda, nothing else by mouth. 
Today I am on the mend and was even able to drink my coffee, have some freeze dried applesauce with cinnamon and honey, on a piece of sprouted toast.  I am however, a bit puzzled that in each instance I consumed Quinoa, it is supposed to be so healthy.  Could be that I was just warned that I had better be more aware of my body and catch it before it happens?  Anyway it is the first time in many, many years that I had a problem with my abdominal area and I do not seek to do it again. Now I have to catch up on my chores......
