Combat Colds or Flus

Liz James · December 29, 2022 ·

I’ve read a few articles now recently on the shortage of cold and flu products on the shelves of pharmacies. I can think of at least 2 dozen ways to combat colds or flu, and none of them involve the chemicals missing on these shelves. โค๏ธ๐ŸŒฟโค๏ธ And there’s no shortage ๐ŸŒฟ ๐Ÿ˜‰.
Perhaps you’ve recently stumbled across my page or this might be the first time you’ve ever thought about something outside of using “itchy, sneezy, stuffy head so you can rest medicine” from the pharmacy.
Perhaps you are a little dubious.
If the shelves are a little barren, this might be the time to learn a new trick or two. Self reliance is becoming more and more important, as is being part of a community that teaches others how to be self reliant too.
My dad gave me some great advice. This is one of his nuggets…..The best time to learn to change a tire is not when the tire is flat. The best time to change a tire, is when you have time to learn how to change a tire. ๐Ÿ˜‰ Come kick some tires with me.

Dr. Peter McCullough writes,
“For the last three years I have noted that those โ€œawakeโ€ to the government false narrative on “C-๐Ÿ’‰19″ tend to be in the 40-80 year age range and far more women than men. Perhaps women have a vestigial alarm system that is activated when there is a threat to the clan and certainly when a childโ€™s life is in danger. “
ย 
I agree with him. Do you?๐Ÿค”
ย 
I have wondered this too regarding health in general. Why is it that more women than men seem to be awake and aware (and doing something about it!) when it comes to protecting the health of ourselves and our loved ones?

Young Living November Gifts

Liz James · November 1, 2022 ·

Charlie and I woke up early this morning (a normal thing! ๐Ÿ˜‰) and one of the first things we talked about was how fast November arrived this year. Soooooo fast! This year is scooting by!
The first of every month is a little like Christmas…. getting to see what Young Living is offering us for free (with qualifying purchase)!
ย 
Loyalty rewards are like getting a gift card with your 100PV purchase. 10 points spend just like ๐Ÿ’ฐin the Young Living store on an order in the future. If you are not yet using Loyalty rewards as part of your thrifty shopping, you are missing out on savings! 10-25% back on your purchases? YES PLEASE!
ย 
YL Vitality Drops ($10….but free this month!). Did you know that the vast majority of people living in the USA have a fairly significant electrolyte imbalance and don’t even know it? Gatorade and other sugary (or fake sugar) drinks designed to boost electrolytes are helpful, but they create an even bigger problem by causing inflammation in the body (both sugar and fake sugar does this). Get your electrolytes with a healthier alternative that tastes delicious too! YL Vitality drops is an electrolyte blend that also contains more than 70 naturally occurring trace minerals ….. something else we tend to be deficient in. (The Grapefruit Bergamot flavor is my favorite!). What does a mild electrolyte imbalance look like or feel like? Glad you asked! ……. dizziness, irregular heartbeat, brain fog, fatigue, muscle cramps, constipation, headaches. (When you have the opportunity to try a product for free….. take advantage of it! You never know what you might be able to accomplish with it! I’ve had several ah-ha moments in my walk with YL that have been health game changers for me personally!)
ย 
Thieves Hand Sanitizer (the big one… 7.6oz member value $36.75ish I don’t think the large size is even available to buy right now ) ….. it seems like we live with year round germ season. Thieves doesn’t just help reduce infectious germ๐Ÿคข๐Ÿคง spreading, it also has a little bit of extra ooomph. It also helps support a healthy immune system. You won’t find that in your standard hand sani’s.
ย 
I know so many people whose “gateway” oil was/is DiGize (member value $37.75…. but free this month!). Why is that? Well, it’s because our guts are assaulted in 1001 different ways, and if you experience any ๐Ÿ˜”๐Ÿฅบ๐Ÿ˜ณ๐Ÿคญ๐Ÿ˜ฌ๐Ÿ˜ตโ€๐Ÿ’ซ๐Ÿคฎ๐Ÿ’ฉ(or lack of ๐Ÿ’ฉ!) occasionally, DiGize just might become your new bestie. Apply directly to the belly button (don’t knock it til you’ve tried it!) for some quick relief. (Side note…. if you have any really stinky gym clothes, I add a few drops of DiGize to my laundry detergent and it does a fantastic job of giving my clothes a fresh scent. If you’ve ever struggled with gym clothes laundry funk, you can thank me now for this tip! ๐Ÿ˜‰)
ย 
Thieves Chest Rub (member value$30….but free here!). We have all gone thru a couple of years of really nasty hacky cold and flu seasons, and this is one staple you do NOT want to not have on hand when you have a house full of hackers๐Ÿคง. Not only does Thieves Chest Rub help loosen up and relieve the hacking, remember….. it’s also got Thieves in it. And what does Thieves do?….. it helps support a healthy immune system. News flash…. if you’re hacking ๐Ÿคง, your immune system needed some support like yesterday!
ย 
Digest and Cleanse ( member value $31.75…. but free this month!) had been unavailable for forever and a day, and I know some people are doing the happy dance ๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿ•บthat it’s back in action. Tis the season for eating and over eating. These capsules are loaded with ingredients that stimulate digestion. For those of you who don’t like the smell of DiGize topically, this is a fantastic “on the go” (pun intended!) capsule for a sluggish or overtaxed digestive system.
ย 
And finally….. my friend Frank! Most people think of baby Jesus when they hear the word Frankincense (member value $84.75….but free this month!). And while anything that was good enough for Jesus is good enough for me, there’s more to Frankincense than simply a good smelling gift given by a very wise man. Even back in the day, Frankincense was known for its amazing health and wellness properties. Today…. if you were to simply search the word frankincense in pubmed.gov, you’d find over NINTY SEVEN PAGES of studies on the effects of frankincense on the body. I urge you to let your fingers do the walking and just spend a few minutes learning about this powerhouse of an oil. I use it daily in my DIY face serum (because of the effects it has on the skin), and in doing so….. I experience other beneficial results throughout my body and mind. It truly has been an amazing (and dare I say, miraculous!๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™Œ) addition to my healthy and wellness world for me personally.
ย 
Which freebie(s) are you most excited about this month? ๐Ÿ˜

How Good is Olive Oil and Olive Leaf?

Liz James · July 26, 2022 ·

๐Ÿ‘€Well then! ๐Ÿ‘€
I’m reading an article out of the Price-Pottinger Journal while eating lunch today. (PP is under the Weston A Price family umbrella… a fantastic health and nutrition resource!๐Ÿค“)
As so often happens, I stumbled across this gem of an article on olive oil and olive leaf.
Pay close attention to the hydroxytyrosol reference…… that got me to thinking about Young Living’s Olive Essentials….. an underused, unsung hero in the YL supplement family, so I hopped over and took a look on the YL website. I make no claims here ๐Ÿ˜‰ย just observations! Follow the breadcrumbs and do some research if this interested you (as it did me!)
Quite the interesting find this Tuesday! ๐Ÿค” ๐Ÿค“

The Curious Case of Covid and the Shrinking Brain

Liz James · March 16, 2022 ·

Long Covid. Have you heard of it? Maybe perhaps you’ve even experienced it yourself. Those who have experienced it appear to have a variety of symptoms. Headaches, disrupted concentration, anxiety, brain fog, longstanding smell or taste disturbances are common complaints. Occasionally, even psychosis is mentioned.

These brain changes are now physiologically accounted for according to a recent study in the journal, Nature. Inflammation of both the blood vessels and nervous system tissue are noted as probable culprits. I agree with that, but I also believe there are likely other factors involved. One of those factors is the micro-clotting that has been identified as a byproduct of a covid infection. Micro-clotting is an interesting creature and in my personal estimation, it is not getting nearly the attention that it should be getting.

Exchange of oxygen for carbon dioxide occurs at the capillary level. Likewise, the exchange of toxins for nutrients from the blood to tissue also occurs at the capillary level. Micro-clotting wouldn’t necessarily cause issue at the larger vessel level (arteries and veins), unless there was a snowball effect of the micro-clots.

My boots on the ground theory is this: If micro-clotting inhibits the mission of the capillaries (to exchange trash for treasure) in the body, what happens? That particular tissue will pay a price. Toxins will accumulate and starvation and slow asphyxia will occur….likely not enough to cause death, but certainly discomfort. As the body starts to feel the effects of this, the subconscious will probably notice first and anxiety will be ramped up, feeling like it’s coming from “nowhere”.

The longer tissue is starved and deprived, the more dramatic the long game. What happens when the body is deprived of what it needs? It shrinks. It comes as no surprise to me that the brain is affected. I’ve worked with several people who have had long covid symptoms, and in my personal experience, there are ways to alleviate and perhaps even reverse the problem.

  1. Reduce inflammation (as the article states)
  2. Open the blood vessels up a bit more with a mild herbal vasodilator
  3. Increase the blood’s ability to “slip” a little more easily within vessels
  4. Use natural gentle products to decrease the body’s hospitality to spike proteins.
  5. Do all of this on a daily basis.

If someone is already on certain medications, there are some contraindications, but overall, it’s a pretty safe method. As always too…… if you keep adding in toxins (commercial household cleaners, bodycare products, toxin laden makeup etc) in your daily grind and only try to fix things by adding things in, the response will be slower. The body doesn’t lie about its state of affairs.
