Oh the powers of nature. She knows what we need, and the doctors know nothing. ~Benvenuto Cellini

As I am too preoccupied with stuffing tissues up my nose, my blog entry will be short and to the point today. Cursed with the flu at the most inconvenient time. Very busy weekend as usual. The lethargy was most problematic. And I refuse to take any more meds. Literally felt the lining of my stomach burning away. It’s just not natural to be intoxicating your body with all that crap. What you need is a warm bed, a good movie and a nice big hug. Otherwise stick to organic home remedies. The lady at the airport suggests chewing ginger. I’m not prepared to try it though. Haha. Anyone willing to volunteer?

“The art of medicine consists in amusing the patient while Nature affects the cure.” ~Voltaire

“Poisons and medicine are oftentimes the same substance given with different intents.” ~Peter Mere Latham

“He's the best physician that knows the worthlessness of most medicines.” ~Benjamin Franklin

“A Short History of Medicine
2000 B.C. - "Here, eat this root."
1000 B.C. - "That root is heathen, say this prayer."
1850 A.D. - "That prayer is superstition, drink this potion."
1940 A.D. - "That potion is snake oil, swallow this pill."
1985 A.D. - "That pill is ineffective, take this antibiotic."
2000 A.D. - "That antibiotic is artificial. Here, eat this root."”
~Author Unknown

I have some good news. My module has been completed and submitted. The relief is inexplicable. I cant wait for the competition results now.

Take care of yourselves.

Keep reading.

Have you looked into essential oils, specifically doTERRA? The most empowering thing I've ever found for taking control of our health.
