Sunshine...and More Sunshine!!!

Spring has SPRUNG!!!...here in the beautiful and previously damp NW! We had an absolutely wonderful, sunny day. It is amazing how just a little time outside, doing simple chores, can lift a person’s spirits. I didn’t even realize that they needed to be lifted.

Well, I am now following the writings and newsletters of 2 different MD’s and one researcher who all subscribe to the theory that almost all of us here in the USA have an overgrowth of fungus, and it is mostly at the root of all our illnesses. I read a very good paper last night on how candida cells mimic and transform themselves to look like different cells in our bodies. Such as brain cells or membranes of the human body. This causes our immune system to be fooled and when they attack candida cells they also attack other cells that look like candida, which are really our healthy cells, such as brain cells,(resulting in multiple sclerosis) or joint tissue (resulting in rheumatoid arthritis). Hence, autoimmune diseases. This is a very simplistic explanation of this article. The website for this paper is www.nutritioninstitute.com/Multiple_Sclerosis.html It is a short but very good read.

There is still more research being published on VitD. It is a very important supplement that has been ignored for far too long. Also, probiotics are still in the news and in the advertising budgets of several companies...yogurts and Milk of magnesia to name two of them. Despite the fact that they are commercials and the company is more interested in their profits than our health, probiotics really are “pro-life” and really are one of the most important dietary additions that we can do for ourselves.

We are still on our sugar free, wheat free, and yeast free eating plan. It is definitely different but we’re thinking it is well worth it. MDH really likes not having to get up at night, anymore, and I’m sleeping better, too. We also have more energy, which is always nice!

Time to work on the baby quilt. It’s almost done and the baby is almost here! Spring is going to be so wonderful!!!

Healthy Days to You...Your Smiling Maven
