Kare-N-Liver ~ Supports Liver Function

Thank you to Josh,  from Kare-N-Herbs for making sure I got the Kare-N-Liver in time for my trip to Las Vegas.     Right away, I started taking them.  My liver is not in the best shape so anything I can do to help it out, I will do.  By they way,.... Your liver is one of the hardest working organs in our bodies and many of us abuse it.   We never think of helping it out with herbs like Kare-N-Liver until we are in dire straits.

I wasn't sure if I would be able to tell if the Kare-N-Liver was working, but I ended up getting that cold where you cough your head off and nothing comes up.  All I did my make my stomach muscles sore from coughing.   I did my darnd'est not to break down and take any medication because every time I take a cold medicine, it messes my liver up.  

I know you are probably wondering how I know when my liver is messed up.  For me, I see undigested food in my stool.  That is the first thing that I usually notice.  After that, it all goes down hill and I start having problems having a BM.

Well, I could not handle the cough any longer, I coughed all night one night, so I broke down and took some cold medication that I think cost way to much, but it did the job.   The Kare-N-Liver ended up being a life saver, or should I say liver saver.     It worked so well that  not once did I see any undigested food in my stool.

Not only did I have a cold, but some nights, I would not get to eat exactly the way I wanted to.  I was eating things cooked in ways that I would never eat at home.   The Kare-N-Liver helped me out there too!!   I didn't get sick when I ate those tempora vegetables cooked in peanut oil.... that is the worst oil for me. 

If you suspect you have liver problems, get in touch with Josh and see if the Kare-N-Liver would be right for you.     You can also reach him on Twitter and Facebook
YOUR LIVER WILL THANK YOU FOR IT!!!

Leaving Las Vegas and Heading Back To Winter Wonderland

After 5 weeks of being in Las Vegas, I can tell you that I am ready to head for home.   There is no place like home!!

We have actually had a very mild winter this year in Pennsylvania but it was nice to get away for awhile.

We are leaving all that desert beauty for Winter Wonderland.   I did hear it is warming up in Pennsylvania so I am happy about that.

 

Did Anyone Else Get The Cold That Makes You Think You Have Whooping Cough?

While we were in Las Vegas, my Hubs got a terrible cold.  He would cough and cough and bring nothing up.    I was afraid he was going to have a stroke coughing.  

His cough reminded me of when I was young and my cousin had whooping cough.  He would cough until his face turned a purple red and he looked like he was going to pass out.     This is exactly how my Hubs looked.   Plus, every time he would lie down, he would start coughing again.   He was getting no sleep and neither was I.

I tried to stay as far away from my Hubs as I could, but when you are staying in a motel room, it is hard to get away from any germs floating around.   

Lucky for us there are quite a few drug stores on the strip in Las Vegas.   I walked to one of them and talked to the pharmacist about what would be best for my Hubs cold.   She suggested I get Benadryl and Mucinex DM.    The Mucinex DM seemed to work pretty well when taken with the Benadryl.   Hubs had his first night of fairly good sleep.

Needless to say, I ended up with the same cold Hubs had.   But I had been taking Grapefruit seed extract for a protocol that I am working on and will be posting about soon.

I ended up in bed one full day and never got dressed.   I coughed all night one night..... that was good compared to my Hubs who coughed nightly for at least 10 days.    I told him to start taking the grapefruit seed extract but of course he wouldn't think of it because it really tastes bad.

I also took Mucinex DM two different times.  I hated doing that because it bothers my liver.  But I did it anyway because this cough was horrible.

Grapefruit seed extract is a natural antibiotic and in 4 days my cold was pretty much gone.     I do still have a cough but it is very loose and I cough easily. 

Chocolate And Sugar Can Be As Addictive As Cocaine

I used to have an addiction to sugar and chocolate.   I would skip eating a meal and eat a hot fudge brownie sundae.     My Hubs always wondered why it didn't make me hyper, but it didn't.    It soothed me, it was almost as good as S - X.       To this day, I miss it and probably always will.   I will never, never eat sugar  again.   For me, it is poison.  But darn it!!  I miss the heck out of it!!
I now know that the candida made me crave sweets, but I am sure a lot of you that don't have candida, crave chocolate and sweets.   I go to a lot of cooking blogs and they are always making something sweet and tasty.   I could almost lick my computer screen, that is how much I miss having sweets.

I do use Xylitol and Stevia which really help with the sweet cravings.   Xylitol measures just like sugar, it also tastes more like sugar than anything I have tried. I use it a lot when making myself a treat.    The problem is, nothing and I mean nothing compares to real cane sugar.

Lucky for me, Debbie, at The Gluten Free Dish, makes some of the BEST gluten free, sugar free foods that you will find on the web, so it's not like I don't get my sweets.  I will just never forget the taste of REAL sugar.

If you have a lot of food allergies, check out The Gluten Free Dish.  Debbie herself has food allergies and makes good tasting food for people with candida.  You might have to tweak it to what works for you but her recipes are great!!

Digestion And Sensitive Teeth

I don't know what took me so long to figure out that my sensitive teeth were cause by digestive problems.   I think I figured it out when I took OralEase and my teeth started getting less sensitive.  A couple days later, I started on Edible Earth.

When I started the Edible Earth my teeth started getting  less sensitive   Edible Earth says it Soothes and Purifies the Digestive Tract, Alkalizes the Body, Augments Digestive Efficiency,  all these things have got to help with my digestion, plus.. it is doing a number on the parasites.   Nothing happens overnight.  It takes a lot of time and patience to get rid of parasites and candida, especially systemic candida.

So.... Now I know by trial and error....  My sensitive teeth are caused by poor digestion and candida thrush.   Edible Earth has really helped with digestion so I will continue to use it.   Like I said.... better digestion does not happen overnight and I still have to stick to an alkaline diet.

 Edible Earth is not only  helping with the first stage of digestion, but it is also causing me to have much better BMs.     BMs are something most of you don't have to worry about, but as we get older, things change.   Ask Manzanita who writes the blog.  Wanna Buy A Duck

Make Your Own Antifungal Ear Drops ~ Ear Drops That Act Against Fungus

I am always on the look out for anti-fungal ear drops.   I use these for ears that itch, swimmers ear, infected ear, fungus in my ear.   If any of you happen to have a good recipe, I would love to add it to this list .

Here are a few recipes I found

White Vinegar 1 Teaspoon
Alcohol   1 Teaspoon

1 Drop of Peppermint oil
20 Drops Olive oil

Clove Of Garlic (Chopped)
2 Tablespoons Rubbing Alcohol

Or you can mix some garlic with olive oil.

Other things you can use are (If you try any of these, be careful, some can burn your skin)  I use these in alcohol by bottle instructions
Tea Tree Oil
Clove Oil
Oil Of Oregano
Lavender Oil
Grapfruit seed Extract

Another thing I do is
Warm a grated onion in the microwave slightly.   Using a dropper, drop some of the juice in your ear.  (this helps me with pain and inflamtion)

When we were kids, my mother used sweet oil.  I haven't tried that lately.

Warmed Olive Oil can prevent wax build up.  I also use coconut oil.

* Do not do anything I do unless you check with you family doctor to see if it is safe.

Thrush Makes Me Have Dry Chapped Lips

Everytime my tongue burns, my lips seem to chap really easy.     I think it is because.... when I lick my lips, I get yeast from my tongue on them.   Not sure about that my those are my thoughts.

 The Doctor told me it was a Vitamin B defeciency, and it might be, but I think it has more to do with Candida thrush.  He also told me that the cracks at the sides of my lips are Vitamin B related too.    I believe I am low in Vitamin B and maybe that is what will help cure thrush.

Right now the thrush seems pretty much gone, but off and on while it was healing, my lips would chap everytime my tongue burned and had a white cast to it.   That is why think it is Thrush related.

I am trying to eat alkaline.  Not an easy feat while traveling, but I am doing pretty well at it.    I do notice when I get to many carbs that my tongue will start to tingle.  

Right now, I am trying something new and if it works as well as I think it is.  I will be posting about it.   One of the things I am using, you might have in your kitchen cabinet and it isn't garlic, tumeric or cayenne, although those might work for you.   They don't work so well for me but I know people who sweat that garlic helps their candida.       All garlic does for me is make my breath smell bad.... really bad.

So what do you do for thrush?
