Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

I woke up at 1:30, turned on my light and read awhile.  I'm reading Nine Dragons by Michael Connelly.  I went back to sleep and slept until 6:00.

When I checked emails and Facebook I found out from Sheila, my sister, that Mom fell and was transported to the hospital. 

I got a sweet message from DIL, Amy.  We are missing you, too!

My job today was mowing grass.  It's such good exercise, but my arms are still flabby.  Grand-daughter, Ashlyn, is concerned about my flabby arms.  Any suggestions on how to make arms look younger will be appreciated.  The grass looks nice, though.  Ian helped John feed trees.

I had a chat with Eddie about chronic fatigue syndrome.  It is such a debilitating sickness...totally curable with Nature Cure...but hard to convince people that change of lifestyle will make such a huge difference.

I got another muddy shower, then helped John prepare lunch.  I got three letters in the mail.  Happy Day!   Two from friend, Theresa, and one from grand-daughter, Ashlyn.  Ashlyn said Cool + Awesome + Excellent = Coolawesolent.   I think she is coolawesolent!

Lunch was papaya, star apples, sapadilla, avocado, yellow sapote, banana with macadamia nut spread, and grated coconut.

I read my Bible chapters.  I slept too late to read them this morning, so I read them after lunch.

We had consultation with Eddie at 2:00....Sauerkraut is the best thing to use for stomach acidity problems, better than hydrochloric acid or other remedies...Grains prohibit the absorption of some minerals.  If you want to avoid cavities in your teeth, avoid grains...Cold sitz baths can help chronic fatigue.  A person with chronic fatigue is not digesting their food properly.

We met with Ian next....Don't blend avocado or oil in the blender.  It breaks down the fat globules until they are so small that they are absorbed into the gut at a stage of digestion when it is harmful.  It is okay to mash them and blend them with a fork...just don't whirl them in the blender or food processor...Arthritis is the accumulation of waste matter in the joints.  As you eliminate the waste, the arthritis leaves...All vegetables are herbs.  Some are edible herbs and some are medicinal herbs.  Some herbs, such as parsley, can be considered edible and medicinal.  In Nature Cure we do not use medicinal herbs.  It is okay to eat the edible herbs in their whole form.  But don't use them to make something you don't like edible....Garlic is a no-no straight across the board...Ginger is also to be avoided.  Ginger is suppressive of the function of the digestive system.  Thus it gives the impression that it is calming down your digestion.  The relief of symptoms comes at a price.

More messages from home indicate that my Mom has been admitted to the hospital. She has bronchitis and is not doing so well.  I am worried about her.

Supper was tomato, cucumber, sauerkraut, avocado, pecans and a date.

I changed the sheets on my bed and got everything ready to go to Cairns tomorrow.  I have a box of my clothes and other things ready to mail home.

To health and happiness.

Happy in the Garden

Yesterday I worked in the garden instead of walking around the neighborhood.  It is a different feeling. It's true that I only got in about 6500 steps by the end of the day instead of over 10,000, but it was a different feeling.  Travis planted some tomatoes and peppers, I cleaned the lower deck and pulled some weeds.  Lucy dug in the dirt and felt so happy.  I felt the same way. Working in the garden makes you feel happy and productive. I was puzzled by a plant growing in the herb garden as a weed.  I started pulling them out but decided to check if they are edible.  Edible weeds, such as dandelion,  can be used in our smoothies.  I put a picture on Facebook to ask for help identifying the weed, and the consensus is that it is plantain.  Some say edible and some say not, but I am inclined to think that it is edible.  My brother, Max, lives up in the mountains, and his neighbor says it is edible and the smallest leaves are best with...

The Lou Corona Story

Yesterday, we went to Magic Springs with our daughter, son-in-law and three grandchildren.  The landscaping there is beautiful this year.  This one little flower didn't let a little concrete stop it.     Lunch today was three bananas which I ate about 1:30.  I'm letting my body rest a little bit after eating too much food the last couple of days.  I did domestic chores today.  But Travis made a trip to the City Compost Facility for another load of compost.  We'll use it on the trees we still have left to plant. We have a volunteer tomato plant coming up in one of the garden beds.  It's doing pretty well, too.  I have it on my to do list to buy some more tomato cages. The arugula I planted is up. The kale Travis planted is up. The new plum tree is planted. Here is a volunteer Poke Salat that came with the blueberry plant.  Travis planted some more blueberries in the blueberry row that lines our driveway. The...

Alko Shredder

 It was chilly this morning, but I got out and worked a bit in the garden bed that had the strawberries moved out yesterday.  I fed it with the mineral supplement and fertilizer.  I started putting on compost, but ran out of time before I finished.  We are going to plant some kale in this bed. Bed #3 weeded, minerals added, fertilized, and partly composted. Travis and I went to an estate sale today.  First thing we saw was a garden shredder.  We bought it for $60.00 and brought it home.  There are lots of leaves in my yard that could be shredded. Our new used Alko shredder...made in Germany.    For dinner tonight I made a soup.  The inspiration came from Dara Dubinet on her You-tube video, but mine was different because I used what we had. My vegetable soup recipe:  Juice a beet, 6 carrots, 3 broccoli stalks, and a sweet potato.  Then heat a pot of water on the stove, but do not boil.  In the Vita-Mix, put 3 med...
