Well…. this is a disappointing truth. I have to be honest, I’ve never been a huge fan of salmon until I tasted true wild caught in Washington state a few years ago. #ohmyword! Sadly, I haven’t had it since, only because….. well, when you’ve had the best…. how do you go back to mediocre?
Turns out, mediocre might reflect the flavor, but “toxic” is actually a more justifiable adjective. I’ll let you read the article or watch the video yourself. Here are my takeaway 🤯 ‘s:
😳 more than 1/3rd of “wild caught” salmon isn’t wild caught.
😳 the world produces more farmed (and toxic) fish than it does beef. Factory farming fish is a danger to the environment by polluting the waterways with excessive crowding , fish waste, and a toxic soup of fish food (made of pharmaceuticals, pesticides, PCB’s, and GMO’d crops pelletized into fish food).
😳 the “not wild ‘wild caught'” salmon is actually salmon that has escaped factory farming netted pens.
😳 Farmed salmon has 8x higher toxin loads than true wild caught salmon.
😳 Farmed Salmon contains far higher amounts of Omega6’s (It’s bad for the body to have a high Omega 6 vs Omega 3 ratio)
😳 When a factory farmed salmon breeds with a wild caught salmon, the babies don’t tend to survive because they are genetically not equipped.
💗🐟 💗 You can find healthy Salmon by looking for the MARINE STEWARDSHIP COUNCIL (MSC) logo on the packaging. (Logo: MSC plus a blue checkmark that is in the shape of a fish)
If you are eating at a restaurant…. ask the hard questions before you order Salmon!
enjoy your weekend!

Improve Cognitive Performance – Aromatherapy
Wow! Such an interesting 4 minute video and worth the listen. Dr. Michael Greger MD is a favorite of mine, and this is his video.
Topic?……. Improving cognitive performance using aromatherapy, 💖 especially in cases of neurodegenerative dis-ease.
I stepped back from corporate pharmacy and into the roots (& flowers 🌹, leaves🌿, and trees🌳 😉 ) of pharmacognosy because of information (like this) which remains largely unrecognized by mainstream medicine….. literal golden nuggets of self care…. which allow us improved quality of life, increased autonomy, and educated self care.
How many of you have seen a cognitively impaired patient who was so medicated that they were almost “zombi-fied”?
Roughly 50% of people with dementia experience behavioral or psychological symptoms that doctors often ‘chemically restrain’ by way of drugs that are often well known for their increased morbidity and mortality risks in the elderly…. not to mention dulling them cognitively even more. #riskvsbenefitfail
👆 Why?….. because it’s easier to prescribe a drug than it is to offer non-pharmacological alternatives. To be fair,few western medicine health care workers are trained in aromatherapy, nor have they taken the time to learn on their own. #notfundedbyBigPharma
Final tidbit….. I don’t want to spill all the beans here…. Dr. Greger speaks of Lemon Balm. Friends, that is also known as “Melissa”…… grown on our Young Living Farm in St. Marie’s, Idaho.
Go. Learn. Apply your knowledge! Help a friend or loved one out and share what you know and may already have in your possession.

Have you had a chance to flip thru the first issue of 40 Dandelions?
“Holistic healthy” doesn’t separate body from mind or spirit. It’s one of the reasons my business plan is in the form of a prayer rather than an accounting spreadsheet. #Godwillprovide

Detox Disinfectants
Good morning friends! 2020 has given us an unexpected load of “bonus” toxins☠️ in the form of excessive disinfectant use. #ugh “They” are squirting, spraying, fogging, and wiping down surfaces (including our hands and our lungs!) in an effort to comply with recommendations given by governing entities, but at what cost long term?
In pharmacy, there is something called risk versus benefit. We are ALL being exposed to this risk (and it is risky…. unprecedentedly so!) as businesses and schools are now disinfecting sometimes even hourly during operating hours.
We are the ultimate CEO’s of our bodies, and nobody is going to be there to pick up the pieces of this over exposure except for us.🙋♀️🙋🙋♂️If you’d like to begin making amends with your 2020 toxin load, I’d like to invite you to a class…..
☣️Detoxing the Disinfectants☣️
This class is available two ways:
Texting : Text “Lysol” to 469.425.9091
An online class on Monday November 9th at 6pm CST/ 7pm EST co-hosted by Kimber Elizabeth, Kristine Lucius, and myself. Please message one of us if you are interested in attending the online Facebook class!

Goldenrod
Good morning friends! Yesterday as I was driving home, I passed a large section of what I thought was ragweed. I stopped, hopped out, and snapped a pic….. (planning on writing about allergies). I Googled ragweed and lo and behold, I’m fairly certain what I had snapped a pic of was our highly esteemed Goldenrod!
This got me to thinking… and I messaged my friend Danette. Neither of us was 100% certain it was even tho it definitely looks like it. 😂 #weareamateurbotanists
This little scenario made me value Young Living and all of their science and attention to detail even more so….. I mean, who wants to guess on a plant like this? It could mean the difference between effectiveness or a bad rash 😳. #wherethesundoesntshine
I also love how God gave us plants that have healing powers often just in the season that we may need it.
Most of us YL’ers know Goldenrod as that magical bedroom oil💖☝️………But it’s so much more than that! #alloilsaremultipurpose
Just a few other uses….
🌾seasonal respiratory support👈🙏🍂
🌾relieves gassiness
🌾helps loosen mucus (drink more water too!)
🌾acts as a tonic to nourish and support kidneys and urinary tract #valuable
🌾supports healthy liver function
🌾creates an inhospitable environment for fungus
🌾supports a proper inflammatory response #greatforjoints!
All this to say…. don’t leave Goldenrod in the bedroom! God blessed Gary with the know how and the willing spirit to share with all of us. It’s up to us to maximize the potential of all our gorgeous and healing oils!
