Natural relief for painful periods

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.

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

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.

Cloth diapering Part 3 - Diaper Care

click image to enlarge

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.

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:

1. Put diapers in dry bucket/pail [e.g. 5 gallon painter pail] till wash day. Wet bags are wonderful for traveling.
2. Wash hot, normal or gentle cycle; Use about 1/4-1/2 of the recommended amount of toxic free, baby safe detergent. The companies want to sell more product so are going to suggest a large amount per load; so most people use too much detergent. I use liquid brands that say "free & clear".
3. Optional -Add ½ c. distilled white vinegar to rise cycle or Downy ball.
4. Dryer on low heat &/or line dry. Line dry covers.
5. Wool Dryer Balls 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.

How often should they be washed?

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 =)

DONT

Use detergents with dyes or fragrances

Use softener - Fabric softeners & dryer sheets reduces absorbency by coating the fabric.

Use harsh chemicals - Bleach will shorten the life of your diapers, is cancer causing & can irritate babies skin.

Whitening additives will cause damage to the waterproofing. So don't use washing/backing soda or vinegar as mentioned above for diaper COVERS or diapers with covers attached.

Removing stains

I apply Peroxide or OxiClean spray, not powder, directly to stains before washing. Peroxide or OxiClean liquid or powder can also be added to the machine water.

If you use OxiClean too much or too often it will wear through fabric!! Line drying, clean, washed, but stained diapers, in direct sunlight is the best disinfectant and stain remover!

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.

Here are more helpful sites DETERGENT CHOICES from Pinstripes and Polkadots and Padded Tush Stats graph & site.

I have learned much and enjoyed our cloth diapering experience. Please share your story &/or questions. I'm looking forward to hearing from you!

Gallbladder

This is a quick post to help several of you I've been emailing & talking to. 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!

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']

Dying To Have Known

documentary about the Gerson therapy was informative & interesting. 

What is the Gerson therapy? I thought about putting a description here, but then that would spoil it! So NO SPOILER ALERT  =)

Mom is alive today by God’s grace! Yet He asks that we honor our bodies as a way of honoring Him. Each person's health journey & circumstances are different yet God says he will give wisdom to those who ask. Mom chose to use the Gerson therapy in her fight against cancer. Gerson therapy has allowed us to have more time with her! I am tearing up as I write how grateful I am to the Lord & Dr Gerson for the wealth of information that has helped my mom on her journey of health!

Dying To Have Known is about so much more then cancer! I recommend watching it even if you aren’t interested in cancer. Why? because there is a high probability of you or I getting cancer since 1 in every 2 people will get cancer in their lifetimes.

Certain Drs received the Nobel prize for research on TB. For Dr Gerson who found a CURE for TB, cancer & other diseases? Nothing… No prize, no recognition, quite the opposite.

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 and dismissed from his position…. He died in 1865 in a mental institution, 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 The work of Semmelweis

Around 57min. into Dying To Have Known it mentions parents can be jailed for choosing alternative cancer therapy for their children. It’s chemo/radiation for them or you loose your children &/or your freedom! For more on this specific subject watch the documentary Cut Poison Burn

Watch Dying To Have Known FREE to find out the cure for cancer & many other diseases.

Vanishing Honeybees

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." [quote from Netflix movie description of Colony]


We just watched Colony on Netflix tonight. Interesting. How many of you have seen it? What did you learn?


Vanishing of the Bees & Queen of the Sun are also on our list to watch. Here are the trailers:




Queen of the Sun: What Are the Bees Telling Us?





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.

I recommend Vanishing of the Bees 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!

Since I've watched all 3 of these documentaries, I recommend if you can only watch one, learn from Vanishing of the Bees. At the end of Queen of the Sun: What Are the Bees Telling Us? they give a list of what you can do.

Beautiful photos of birth ecstasy

Ecstasy = An overwhelming feeling of great happiness or joyful excitement. 

 Description of this picture from Improving Birth on facebook

"I was able to go back to my first love yesterday and continue to be inspired as this mama climbed her mountain and victoriously greeted her baby during her vaginal birth after cesarean." 

all picture from Improving Birth on facebook

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!

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^st three days and was very excited, just didn’t get the birth ecstasy till later!

To hear it straight from a Drs mouth-Wow! I praise the Lord we have a medical Doctors support backing us on our decision!

October Baby

I'm crying just watching the trailers; I better bring a tissue box to the theater!
My heart goes out to woman struggling with the decisions surrounding a crisis pregnancy. I volunteered at a CPC (crisis pregnancy center) for years. Ever since I was a little girl I have longed to adopt children! That desire only grows with time. So stories like this make me pray... and cry... and pray more! I pray that many who watch October Baby will find healing!
