🧄 There’s a little kitchen chemistry in your garlic harvest: crushing a fresh clove brings together an enzyme and a plant compound to form allicin. Lab studies show allicin can inhibit certain microbes and influence how immune cells respond. Freshly crushed garlic forms allicin before you eat it, while many capsules rely on that reaction happening during digestion; meaning their formulation affects how much becomes available to the body. From garden bed to dinner table, what’s your favorite way to use this kitchen staple?

Here we go again. I have had 7 people with macular degeneration come to me in the last 2 weeks!

What is going on? So I started to look into it.

Roundworms
The University of Maryland School of Medicine researchers believe they have identified a new and distinct cause of macular degeneration. The discovery offers the potential to identify new ways to treat the disease.

With cold and flu season right around the corner, it’s important to get ahead of the curve and focus on prevention so you aren’t scrambling for things when it hits. How do you prepare your body for the upcoming winter months?

Ok guys, need some input.
Our December is pretty open, is there a group, festival, church festival, somewhere near you, you would like to see us at? We travel a couple hours radius.
We also find that the smaller festivals are better for us.(you know 50 vendors versus hundreds) We dont have to jump up and down, waving, yelling over here to help people.
Love ya!

Yesterday we were at Woodbine Vineyards. We had a few people coming to meet us there for the purpose of what we do.

My son was having a really hard day. Very unsteady, couldnt keep eye contact, falling and you couldnt understand anything he said.

I thought he got ahold of food he shouldn't have, because he was bad.

I found out today, he had not been taken the Lyme tincture for about 2 weeks, so he took the entire 2 ounce bottle. Im not worried about the dangers of that, except the die off would have been substantial and all at once (and was, as it was apparent through yesterday) and I could have helped his body get rid of those poisons had I known so his balance and speech would not have been so affected.

Who is loving this cooler weather? Me! Me! A little rain forces us to slow down, not a bad thing.

I am consulting on several people that this affects so thought it's a good time to write a blurb. You know, educational purposes only....

Kidney Stones. It used to be about 4 in 100 people got them, now that is more than double....so what is causing this? Remember, our body will always try to save our life so what are the poisons a kidney stone is saving us from?

There are many lab created medicines that are proven to cause kidney stones, as well as a diet high in protein. (right, all the rage lately, please stop) The American diet is high in sweets, yep, that lends to it and we drink a lot of things like pop, things with preservatives and bottled water that are of no help.

So what are just some of the medicines that cause kidney stones and can explain this increase of them?
Many anti-virals(we teach a class on this and the alternatives proven by science to work better) Many anti-biotics, protease inhibitors like indinavir, antibiotics such as sulfonamides and ceftriaxone, and drugs like topiramate, acetazolamide, and triamterene—are well‑documented causes of kidney stones due to direct crystallization or changes in urine chemistry.

Now, what are some of the actions and herbs that we can take to break them up and stop getting them. Of course, the less sweets diet, more water with lemon, less protein, and question lab created meds and if they are necessary or there is an alternative. Lets eat alkalized foods. Examples are Alkalizing foods are those that help neutralize acid in the body by providing minerals like potassium, magnesium, and calcium, supporting overall pH balance and health. So....salt, the good wet, unrefined salt a long with things like asparagus, citrus fruits, apples, bananas, avocados, seeds.

As far as herbs, things like stone breaker (shows to reduce size by almost half in a 10 to 12 week period), tulsi, nettle and barberry are all great, you can use as teas. Aerva lanata or dried mountain knot w**d has a 90 percent success rate. Try adding clove for a little pain relief.

Need some help? let's use Gods creation to heal and give me a ring.

I'm off to show my goats HOW to play with those tetherballs.
Sign up for a class at Main Street Art Collective and we will see you Thursday for ladies night at Karen's Hallmark Shop Danville, Virginia( you can also sign up there)
We also were asked to come next week to Randolph-Macon College for a wellness day.
