Good News About Ian

The week has flown by.  On Monday, I made a batch of Goody Balls.  Travis had bought two bags of black walnuts a while back.  Since we weren't eating them, I decided to use them in the Goody Balls in place of the almonds.  It worked okay, but they have a definite black walnut taste.  These are Black Walnut Goody Balls.  I like the almonds better.

We had a tiny little snow.  It is the only snow of the year thus far.  It has been cold enough that I have neglected getting outside to walk for several days.  This morning I finally got outside and walked for 30 minutes and then fed one of the blueberry bushes with mineral rocks, fertilizer, compost and mulch.

 Travis and I cleaned out our closets and a few other things from the house.  There are half as many clothes in our closets as there were before.  Big Brother and Big Sisters came and picked up the boxes of clothes and household items.  Travis said he gave away some clothes he really liked.

 Today we went to visit Mom and met my sister, niece and family for lunch at McAlister's.  Back at the nursing home I had a great game of Go Fish with my great-nephew.

Health for health's sake is neither so urgent or inspiring as health in order to do some of the thousand and one things that you can do only if you are healthy. - Kiki Sidwha

One of the tenets of Natural Hygiene is personal responsibility.  It insists upon self-help and self-effort.  Even when the condition is serious you don't need to feel hopeless or panic.  Never give up because the life force is on your side.  Health and happiness come from God.

I received a very happy report regarding Ian, the man who came to the Clohesy River Health Farm while I was there last October.  Ian came with prostrate cancer....knowing nothing about Natural Hygiene...but knowing he did not like the medical options he had been offered.    He had to start from scratch to learn the natural lifestyle.  I wondered how he would do, because you never know how someone will do once they leave the controlled environment.  Dr. Fielder taught him the lifestyle during a two week stay at the farm, then he returned home and practiced it on his own.  And now his PSA levels have come down to normal.  His doctor said it was highly unusual and was apologetic that the testing company may have made an error.  Ian told the doctor that he was on a strict diet of fruit, vegetables, seeds and nuts.  He is walking for exercise.  Ian is very pleased with his good fortune with his health by following Dr. Fielder's training.  He is humbly grateful and is continuing his food restrictions and self-discipline.  According to Ian, his life will be bigger, better and more fulfilling than before.

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...

Dr. John Fielder's Visit

My Natural Hygiene teacher and mentor, Dr. John Fielder, included us again on his Worldwide Raw Food Lecture Tour.  He arrived at my house on Monday, May 14.  Tuesday we had a raw foods dinner at the house for a few of the people that helped to organize the events here in Arkansas.   Wednesday, the Hot Springs Village Raw Foods Group met at Gulpha Gorge Picnic Area for a picnic with Dr. Fielder.  Wednesday night he made a presentation here in Hot Springs Village about the Principles of Natural Living.  The following night he spoke at Mt. Pleasant United Methodist Church in Little Rock.  There was a good crowd at both events.  Dr. John Fielder Here I am introducing Dr. Fielder at the HSV lecture. At the lecture we served some raw food treats for our guests to sample.  One of the items was a chocolate granola bar.  I cut the squares much smaller for this event because of the number of people we had to serve.
