Day 1 Healthy is God's Way




With all the questions I have gotten in just the few hours since my post, I realized that I will not have time to answer each question individually, so I decided to start a blog for those interested.  I want to begin by saying that I think God designed our body to heal itself.  There were no doctors as we know in the Old Testament and people lived hundreds of years, doing it God's way.  The Bible is full of suggestions on foods we should eat and not eat, herbs that we should be eating and essential oils and plants that we should be putting on our body. This statement has motivated me to learn everything I can to heal myself naturally. Larry and I read a book several years ago called The Solid Gold Stethoscope by Edgar Berman, MD.  It was an eye opener for us, realizing for the first time, I guess, that the medical field is a business. I won't go into a lot of detail, I'll just say it changed our lives.  Now there are places in your life for doctors. I have seen 7 in my 69 years that have helped me with things I felt like I could not do myself.  If I knew what I know now, I could have eliminated a few of those, and I would have sought out more Nurse Practitioners and Physician Assistants, who have more time to listen and analyze without just throwing out a pill for everything that ails us. But the truth of the matter, in my opinion, we have turned our healthcare over to man instead of God. God gives lots of guidelines in the Bible about health. I have read testimonies of people healing cancer with baking soda. I have read others that used the Budwig diet-- eating cottage cheese and flaxseed oil.  If I had cancer I would try any or all of these because they are natural choices.


Now as a disclaimer, I would never suggest any medical advice or healthcare practices for you. Our bodies respond differently to different foods and different drugs. We are all unique individuals and we have to listen to our bodies. Larry and I have tried things that did not work for us. I will only be sharing what did work for us and why we decided to do it. I will also suggest books that we have read and you can feel free to buy them and make up your own mind. I just ask that you take charge of your health and you will be amazed at what you will discover and the money you will save. I also suggest that you do it before you develop some chronic illness, because when it strikes, we panic, run to the doctor and grab the treatment. Whereas, if we know the options before we get sick we can make wiser decisions.

Day 28 Sleep--Can't we give it a rest??? You just do not know how hard it is to give up on this subject of sleep. I think good sleep is one of the most important habits that we can incorporate in our lives. Sleep deprivation is rampant and is causing so much chaos in our world. I mentioned a case in a previous blog about how SAT scores went up drastically when a school system started school 30 minutes later. A fact that I did not mention is that student car accidents went down 31%. Before I started this health journey I remember reading a statistical report about how many car accidents happen because the driver goes to sleep at the wheel. This was including adults. I have a family member (who I am pretty sure is not reading my blog) who went to sleep in the morning traffic and totaled the car they were driving  when they crashed into a school bus. I taught school, so I saw the effects of sleep deprivation with students. It was so hard to keep some of them awake during class

Day 26   It's the Blue Light Special Day!---Not Kmart Style Before I get started today I had to share this little tidbit. Larry and I reading through the Bible each year together--- in the morning while we drink our lemon water. The reading plan contains a little Old Testament, a little New Testament, a little Psalms, and a Proverb or two. Today our part of our passage in the Old Testament came from Deuteronomy 34:7. It was a verse about Moses' death. It said he died at 120 years----and his eyes were not weak and his strength was not gone . He's my man!!, my goal setter!!!---the motivation for setting up my website for my blog.  http://healthyandhappyto120.blogspot.com . Just on a shorter side note, I have been criticized a bit, suggesting that I was trying to control my destiny that may be already in place by God. Now I believe in an all knowing God, who yes, knows the date of my death. I have even been quoted the Scripture that says it is "appointed man once t

Sending Love to My Foreign Readers I know it is unbelievable to you because it is certainly unbelievable to me, but I have a host of foreign readers. There are people in over 13 countries that follow my blog. It is hard to know how many countries because my stats only show the top 10 at any given time. I even have readers from Russia (collusion do you suppose)???? Anyway, the reason I am writing this is because there are readers who do not go through facebook, they have been following my website. With the new blog system my website has changed and I do not want to lose my readers. So I am posting both websites so that you can change to the new one if you have been following the website.  If you get my blog through facebook, you will not miss anything. It is business as usual. This is just for those who go through other means. I hope you will keep following along. The success stories that I have been made aware of are amazing. We have to control our health---our very lives depen
