be sure & stop by her easy Artisan Bread post.. perhaps I should bake some today .. yum..

Sunny & cold this morning .. thankfully we don't have to go anywhere ..
Tuesday I have a teeth cleaning , not a bad thing for sure. but hate to be exposed to sick people :-)

what are you doing to stay healthy ?
eating healthier , vitamins, washing hands often, using anti virus gels ? do you wipe the cart handles at the stores & do you stay out of the stores as much as possible ?
I know when states put out a Epidemic warning , it's simply to allow the shots to go to certain groups of people.. usually the young & elderly .. makes sense.
Hubby reminded me last night that he hasn't been sick for 6 yrs ! wow..
I had forgotten that, good for him.

I do all of the above to some degree.. the Vits I take are :  multi Vit , vit D .. plus I drink the lemon water every morning.. not sure that has anything to do with it. but it makes me feel good.  always yogurt .. :-)

comment to this post with your hints & I will draw for a surprise gift :-0
hint: knit item :=) I will draw from the names next Monday :-) the 21st .

Hope you have a great day !
God Bless,
Lisa

coconut oil for health :-) & must read

http://www.cbn.com/cbnnews/healthscience/2012/January/Coconut-Oil-Touted-as-Alzheimers-Remedy/

Hello, Me again.. :-)

My daughter , Daisha has a neighbor with Alzheimers, so she told the husband about coconut oil & the Christian web site (CBN.com) with a video & article about the benefits of coconut oil.
I wanted to pass on the info to you all  , so it you know anyone that has alzheimers or even a strong family leaning , you can pass on the info to them.

it has even shown benefits for some with demintia .

I say if it helps a bit or even stops the progression in it's tracks.. it's worth it . esp something as gentle &  healthy as coconut  oil..
( And to think our lovely FDA took it out of movie theatres b/c they thought it was bad ! Wow.. love the Gov . )

A small excert from the article & video :

Alternative Brain Fuel

In this case, insulin problems prevent brain cells from accepting glucose, their primary fuel. Without it, they eventually die.

But there is an alternative fuel -- ketones, which cells easily accept. Ketones are metabolized in the liver after you eat medium chain triglicerides, found in coconut oil.

Dr. Newport added coconut oil to her husband Steve's diet. Just two weeks later, he took the clock test again and demonstrated stunning improvement.

"I thought at the time, was it just good luck? Was it a lot of prayer? Was it the coconut oil?" she said. "And I thought, well, we're going to keep the coconut oil going."

Three weeks later, Steve took the clock test a third time and continued to perform better on it.

And it wasn't just intellectually, he also improved emotionally and physically.

"He was not able to run. He was able to run again," she recalled. "He could not read for about a year and a half, but after two or three months he was able to read."

cushings diease ?

Hello,
I hope you are all doing well.
It's a Windy Wednesday Pooh !!
And was a windy Monday & Tuesday as well :-)
Wow.. blowing in a storm as they say.

My oldest dd, has been diagnosed with Cushings Disease. Hope I spelt that 'write' :_)
She is to go to a specialist soon to get the exact numbers , so they know how to treat her . At least it answers a lot of health issues for her.
Please Pray for her !

Thanks,
Lisa
