<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">WATER</span><br />
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #141823;">Too
put it into perspective - 1/2 a gallon = 8 cups of water daily is the
MINIMUM for a person who is not pregnant or nursing how much more
when feeding two! During pregnancy </span></span><span style="color: #141823; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">& nursing </span><span style="color: #141823; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I recommend a gallon of water DAILY! Yes, you read that correctly and It is </span><span style="color: #141823; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">possible! You will thank yourself someday ;-)</span></div>

<span style="color: #141823; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2,500-3,000 healthy calories DAILY. Yes every day! I find mamas simply are not eating enough healthy calories. Start a diet log (easy on phone) until you can see you are getting that amount consistently.</span></div>

<div align="LEFT" style="line-height: 0.16in; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #141823;">I
highly recommend <a href="https://www.facebook.com/MiyasLaCOOkie">these delicious cookies</a> that increased my milk! I
want some now just thinking about it... Tasted like homemade
chocolate chip cookies to me! <a href="https://www.facebook.com/MiyasLaCOOkie">Lac-OOkies</a> </span></span></div>

<span style="color: #141823; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: normal;">EXERCISE</span><span style="color: #141823; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span></span></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="line-height: 0.16in; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #141823; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Wait till you get the ok from your care provider then start slowly. If you notice a decrease in your supply, don't exercise as long/as much. If that does not seem to make a difference then you may need to stop all together until you feel you have a good balance of all that's listed. Deep Breath! Smile =) You have plenty of time to lose the weight, yet you and your baby have a better chance of creating lasting benefits for both of you if you focus your energy on feeding your little one! =D </span></span></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="line-height: 0.16in; margin-bottom: 0in;">

<br />
You will have so many options to try once you've read this post; yet don't get overwhelmed. Each person will find what works for them. Yeast a.k.a. thrush is something you DO NOT want to "wait to see" or it could last months! Start at least 1 thing on this list TODAY!!<br />
<br />
Mixed opinions on this one, so up to you but you will be doing so many other things it will be nice to have 1 less thing to think about- STOP using lanolin.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
COCONUT OIL</div>
Take a spoonful of high quality Coconut oil by mouth w/every meal!! Then rub it on nipple topically, alternating with no sugar, organic yogurt with live cultures. Be sure you have clean hands or use different jar for nipples since yeast is highly contagious! If you don't notice a difference in a few days up doses or switch to a different natural remedy. Advice from other moms They have found Vit E on nipples to be helpful.<br />
<br />
Reduce carbs & sugar, for best results NO sugar! I can not stress enough how important good nutrition is or it will just keep coming back =(<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
Hidden sugars:<br />
dried fruit, trail mix, store bought pasta sauce, protein & granola bars, packaged hot & cold cereals...<br />
So it's not too overwhelming for now you can still do brown rice & sweet potatoes.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://candidacuretips.hubpages.com/hub/Candida-Albicans-Overgrowth-And-Treatment">Candida overgrowth and Treatment</a></span></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Grapefruit SEED extract (GSE)</div>
Must be from the seed! Consider buying liquid AND capsule form. Not to scare you- I still recommend using GSE but <a href="http://www.thecandidadiet.com/candida-die-off.htm">read over die off symptoms</a> then watch LO for a rash etc. If baby gets a rash YOU cut back on the amount of GSE capsules you are taking orally. Yet don't stop everything just cut back on some supplements while continuing diet.<br />
<br />
You'd take the capsules, then the liquid GSE would go on nipples & in baby's mouth.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Probiotics for MOM and BABY</span></div>
<br />
<a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=Baby+probiotics">Baby probiotics </a><br />
<br />
If mom has IBS or GI issues... Or if you find it is causing gas in mom &/or baby try diary free probiotics.<br />
<br />
Scroll down till the end of all the links on right side of this blog Above “Blog Archive” are link lists you should explore: Systemic Candida<br />

<span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;">This is a summary of my nursing experience with my daughter. Every baby is different. This is not for moms to compare, but to encourage moms to continue nursing as long as possible!</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;">As a newborn our daughter nursed for an hour at every sitting. She had acid reflux with projectile vomiting so she'd often throw everything up. After which we'd nurse an other hour or so. Moms with newborns with out reflux feel they are constantly nursing, but mom's of reflux babies really are constantly nursing! <a href="http://crystals-health-corner.blogspot.com/2012/04/acid-reflux-in-newborns.html">Here's a post I wrote about it</a>. </span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;">Once we resolved the reflux it spaced out to every 2-4 hrs around the clock till around 16 months. That is when she started walking. Now that she has more to do, is more independent, she doesn't nurse as long though still 24/7. </span></div>

<span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;">During the day it's a few minutes here & there, with cluster feeding before we get out of bed & at night.

Not at all, since we co-sleep/<a href="http://crystals-health-corner.blogspot.com/2010/06/bedsharing.html">bedshare</a> I've got plenty of rest from day 1 :) I can't imagine it any other way!<!--3--><!--3--></span></div>

<span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;">This post was started to answer a friends question.</span><br />
<span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;">Q: A is almost 14 months and eats everything I do. Lately she seems to want to nurse even more... </span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;">A:</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;">Our daughter almost 2y/o eats everything we do too. People who see her eat say she has a good appetite. Those who say this often don't know she nursed before the meal or will STILL nurse after! </span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;">Seems quite appropriate that she is nursing while I type :-D</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;">Possible reasons toddlers nurse more is the same as babies... growth spurt, illness, pain, change of environment, people in their lives, low milk supply in mom. </span></div>

</span> <span style="background-color: white; color: magenta; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large; line-height: 18px;">She heals from cuts & scratches like a </span><span style="background-color: white; color: magenta; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large; line-height: 18px;">superhero!

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: x-large;">ALMONDS </span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Do NOT eat almonds from the US! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Here's why:
USDA’s raw almond pasteurization mandate
"toxic gas (propylene oxide) or steam heat for all raw almonds produced by American growers" </span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: x-small;">from</span><span style="font-size: x-small;"> <a href="http://nutiva.com/articles/restoring-raw-almonds-from-california-farmer-lawsuit-moving-forward/#more-969">Restoring Raw Almonds from California — Farmer Lawsuit Moving Forward</a> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">From the <a href="http://www.westonaprice.org/">Weston A. Price Foundation</a> WAPF Action Alert Email</span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">"<a href="http://www.epa.gov/ttnatw01/hlthef/prop-oxi.html">EPA has classified propylene oxide as a Group B2, probable human carcinogen. (5)</a>"</span><span style="font-size: x-small;"> from epa..gov</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">No labeling required to show that <a href="http://www.anh-usa.org/usda-protect-us-from-raw-almonds/">almonds have been steamed or treated with propylene oxide (PPO)</a>. And they can still be called RAW! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">If you are of childbearing age, especially avoid the organic (until the law changes)! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
"Steam processing is the method delineated to the organic... almond industry... </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Recent scientific studies show that heating almonds creates potentially harmful levels of acrylamide, a threatening byproduct of the amino acid asparagine. Acrylamide is a chemical known to cause cancer, or <b>reproductive toxicity</b> (such as <b>birth defects</b> and other reproductive harm)." from <a href="http://ethicalbounty.com/unpasteurized.php">Ethical Bounty</a> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">I will continue to look into this. I will gladly read current info you have or listen to discussion if I'm mis-reading it. In fact, I'd like nothing better than to report the law was reversed & delete this post because I really, really enjoy almonds & almond butter! </span><br />

<span style="color: #990000;"><strong>High Calcium & Magnesium (a.k.a. Cal-mag) foods, as well as good fats like nuts & avocados, will help with many female issues, as well as cramps. Cal-mag is a muscle relaxer & pain reliever. </strong></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #990000;"><strong>Cal-mag in supplementation form is so safe that even pregnant & nursing moms can take it. I recommend Cal-mag liquid or powder that you mix into liquid, so it gets into the body faster. The higher quality kind can be found in health food stores or online. I recommend going to an applied kinesiologist so she/he can test how deficient you are in Cal-mag, in order to recommend the specific amount that your body needs. "Applied kinesiology (AK) is a form of diagnosis using muscle testing as a primary feedback mechanism to examine how a person's body is functioning." from www.appliedkinesiology.com</strong></span><br />

<span style="color: #990000;"><strong>These suggestions are just a ‘band-aid’ until you can get to a natural healthcare professional who can help you find the root cause. For example a Chiropractor helped me. He also did muscle testing/applied kinesiology, suggested supplements etc. You can see multiple natural healthcare professional for relief of menstrual pain. For example a chiropractor adjustment may be easier or hold longer after a massage. </strong></span><br />

</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS, cursive;">Reading
online diaper care instructions may have you overwhelmed. When I saw
long pages & websites online I thought it seemed a bit
complicated. It's rare to find steps less than 5. I want this to be a
quick & easy guide. It's not super detailed on purpose. A friend
said their diapers came with pages & pages of instructions,
sounded more like an overwhelming manual.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS, cursive;">When
looking into how to care for the particular diapers you bought, most
companies have a page on their website or instructions come with the
diapers... So my 'disclaimer' is read that first! This is what
has worked for us:</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS, cursive;">1.
Put diapers in dry bucket/pail [e.g. 5 gallon painter pail] till wash
day. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=cloth+diaper+Wet+bags">Wet bags</a> are wonderful for traveling.<br />2. Wash hot, normal or gentle cycle; Use about
1/4-1/2 of the recommended amount of toxic free, baby safe detergent. </span><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;">The companies want to sell more product so are going to suggest a large amount per load; so m</span><span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS, cursive;">ost people use too much </span><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;">detergent. </span><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;">I use liquid brands that say "free & clear".</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS, cursive;">3. Optional -Add ½ c. distilled
white vinegar to rise cycle or Downy ball. <br />4. Dryer on low heat &/or
line dry. Line dry covers.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS, cursive;">5. <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Woolly-Good-Dryer-Balls/556316577779400">Wool Dryer Balls</a> are wonderful for cloth diapers! Always having them in your dryer is a way to achieve the benefits of fabric softener/dryer sheets without the toxicity.</span></div>
<div align="CENTER" style="border: none; margin-bottom: 0in; padding: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div align="CENTER" style="border: none; margin-bottom: 0in; padding: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div align="CENTER" style="border: none; margin-bottom: 0in; padding: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS, cursive;">How often should
they be washed?</span></div>
<div align="CENTER" style="border: none; margin-bottom: 0in; padding: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="border: none; margin-bottom: 0in; padding: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS, cursive;">It
depends on your child's age & type of diapers. We used to wash
every 2-3 now ~4 days. I only did an immediate spray/rinse of
the individual diaper till DD was a couple months, since then they go
directly in the pail or washing machine. For those of you who gasped & are thinking gross (!) or but they will stain!! When I followed the advice of a friend to leave them unrinsed for days until wash day -They came out of the dryer stained. I was so upset at the lady who told me. But once I put them in the direct sun for several hours as advised, they were bright white again! Sunning diapers saves you time initially by avoiding immediate rinsing... Whether you choose to rinse or not - It makes then look brand new again =)</span></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="border: none; margin-bottom: 0in; padding: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="border: none; margin-bottom: 0in; padding: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS, cursive;">DONT</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS, cursive;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS, cursive;">Use
detergents with dyes or fragrances</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS, cursive;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS, cursive;">Use
softener - Fabric softeners & dryer sheets reduces absorbency by coating the fabric.
</span>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 0.17in; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS, cursive;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS, cursive;">Use harsh chemicals
- Bleach will shorten the life of your diapers, is cancer causing &
can irritate babies skin. </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS, cursive; line-height: 0.17in;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS, cursive;"><span style="line-height: 0.17in;">Whitening additives
will cause damage to the waterproofing. So don't use washing/backing soda or </span><span style="line-height: 16.31818199157715px;">vinegar</span><span style="line-height: 0.17in;"> as mentioned above for diaper COVERS or diapers with covers attached.</span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 0.17in; margin-bottom: 0in;">

<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;">I
apply Peroxide or OxiClean spray, not powder, directly to stains
before washing.</span> </span><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;">Peroxide
or OxiClean liquid or powder can also be added to the machine water.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS, cursive;">If you use </span><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;">OxiClean too much or too often it will wear through fabric!! </span><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;">Line
drying, clean, washed, but stained diapers, in direct sunlight is the best
disinfectant and stain remover!</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS, cursive;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
</div>
<div align="LEFT" style="border: none; padding: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS, cursive;">After
19 months of use the white diapers look a little worn, but don't look
stained. That's with the above techniques, plus only 2 stain
removing line dries in direct hot FL sun in almost 2 years! Since DD started solids I
haven't had to sun the diapers for stains. </span>

So proud of the effort my dear friend put into treating her gallbladder attacks naturally, thus saving herself from surgery while bettering her overall health! Keep up the good work Michelle, you can be an encouragement to others!<br />
<br />
I plan to come back & give more details on what I did personally to save my gallbladder. I also plan to give suggestions if you already have had removal surgery, to hopefully lessen the side effect of not having a gallbladder. SO check back again, become a follower, or get updates through email [see button right side of blog 'submit']<br />

Reminds
me of Dr Ignaz Semmelweis “he noticed that the ward run by midwives had a much
lower death rate than a ward run by doctors. …his claim that the doctors were
doing a worse job than the midwives led to him being shunned by his colleagues

widely regarded as a madman, and never lived to see the theory that tiny
particles, invisible to the naked eye, could carry infectious disease from
person to person.” From <a href="http://www.typesofbacteria.co.uk/how-when-were-bacteria-discovered.html">The

Bees are vanishing "how does it impact America's food supply? This documentary explores how the deaths of millions of bees threaten the livelihoods of many beekeepers and the nation's crops." <span style="font-size: xx-small;">[quote from Netflix movie description of Colony]</span><br />
<br />
<br />
We just watched <b><a href="http://www.colonymovie.com/">Colony</a> </b>on Netflix tonight. Interesting. How many of you have seen it? What did you learn?<br />
<br class="Apple-interchange-newline" />
<br />
<b><a href="http://www.vanishingbees.com/">Vanishing of the Bees</a> & <a href="http://www.queenofthesun.com/">Queen of the Sun</a></b> are also on our list to watch. Here are the trailers:<br />

Queen of the Sun: What Are the Bees Telling Us?<br />
<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/2vQ5PV-bNtM" width="400"></iframe><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I feel I have a better understanding of what honeybees do. How they not only effect our food supply but so much more. Now I want to plant a garden for bees or become a hobby beekeeper! It's not something that I'll be doing anytime soon, but maybe someday.<br />
<br />
I recommend <b>Vanishing of the Bees</b> for family movie night. Homeschoolers consider watching these documentaries for health &/or science. We can learn so much from what the Lord has placed around us. God made the fascinating honeybees that I now have a new found interest in!<br />
<br />
Since I've watched all 3 of these documentaries, I recommend if you can only watch one, learn from <b>Vanishing of the Bees</b>. At the end of <b>Queen of the Sun: What Are the Bees Telling Us?</b> they give <a href="http://www.queenofthesun.com/get-involved/10-things-you-can-do-to-help-bees/">a list of what you can do</a>.<br />

In general, I don’t see these kinds of pictures, this joy, this birth emotion in medicated births. I didn’t say hospital ‘cause you can still have birth ecstasy in an all natural hosp. birth =) Of course there are always exceptions. Notice I did say ‘in general’. If you have a medicated birth picture that looks like these that you’d be willing for me to post please share!<br />

Just because you have a natural birth doesn't mean your face
will look like these ladies. It doesn’t guarantee that you will feel birth
ecstasy. I believe I experienced birth shock (the emotional, not physical kind)
though in no way did I feel like it was a traumatic birth. Maybe “birth
surprise” is a better description at least in my case. So my face did not look
like those above. It was surreal. When my milk came in around 3 days I got overwhelming
feelings of emotion and joy. I sobbed like I thought I would have immediately
after our daughter was born. Please, don’t misunderstand me, I loved her the 1<sup>st</sup>
three days and was very excited, just didn’t get the birth ecstasy till later!</div>

I’m so grateful & blessed that God has led us to a Pediatrician that can not only give prescriptions but suggests natural remedies too! I really, really like our Ped. =) We had such a great visit yesterday! <br />
<br />
Hearing this Doctor confirm that the reading & research I have done on vaccines is truly accurate was reassuring. She will support what ever the parent decides, but does NOT recommend vaccines!!! To hear it straight from a Drs mouth-Wow! I praise the Lord we have a medical Doctors support backing us on our decision! <br />
