Good Morning, World! Well, today marks the last day of 2005. Much has happened over the past 365 days; some good, some bad. It’s been wonderful for me to share all the good things about the blood type diet to so many people. Some saw the light and made the necessary changes. Some decided their doctors were in the know and right and kept eating their usual foods. Many of those have worsened and been hospitalized. Some just plod along. So sad. But, what can a person do? Well, you can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make him drink. Sometimes he does get a little thirsty.

The Bible tells us not to hide our light (faith). We do need to show others the effects that being a Christian has on us. Sometimes that is just what someone else needs to take a look at Christianity. Well, I also think that when we have the good news of healthful eating, we have an obligation not to keep that info under wraps either, but to share what we know and the impact it has had on us. What they do with the information is up to them. They need to know they have life-changing choices available if they will try them .

Driving has been interesting this week. We are in a pattern of thawing and then freezing. That makes the roads a wee bit slick, especially at the intersections. It is currently 26 degrees and it is 10:20 am. It’s been warming up to almost 40 during the days. Today’s forecast is for it to reach 28 degrees. Yesterday, it wasn’t supposed to get above freezing, but it did. Lots of people will be out tonight celebrating the beginning of the New Year. Hopefully the roads won’t be too bad.

Health-wise I am healthier than I was a year ago, although I am still fighting that head cold and the blood pressure. I am walking more and feeling somewhat more energetic. I bought a rebounder and hope to start using that next week now that the Christmas decorations are out of the way. I’m hoping the twins will also use that. Sitting at the computer for hours on end hasn’t been healthy for either of them.

See ya next year!

The business divorce is complete and I think it is equitable. The other side was blindsided and in a shambles, but we took advantage of the Christmas break to reorganize and get moved. Christmas was a blur, I make a turkey with spelt stuffing, sweet potatoes, beets, turnips, baby romaine green salad, and of course a few glasses of red wine. The meal was enjoyed by all our guests. My oldest son worked at his first job on Boxing day and the 27. He worked for a large retail chain bagging clothes. He said it was fun (better than working for mom and dad)!!!!

We have had relatives from Germany over the holidays, so the Blood Type eating has been tested. The O children don't eat vegetables, mostly noodles, bread, cheese, wurst and copious amounts of juice. I haven't bought any bread or juice for the past few days and the last of the pasta (probably 3 years old) has disapeared from the pantry, so New Year's Eve dinner will be Prime Rib with carrots and beans and a fish dish for my husband.

My kids were in a ski/board camp for the past 3 days, so I have been driving my niece and nephew up each day. My nephew is a ski coach and just gave blood this week. He was excited to find out he was an O and is determined to eat an O diet. He was so happy to find out red meat is the best and to celebrate I cooked him up a rare steak last night. He wants me to take him grocery shopping next time I go, so he can see what to buy and from which store.

Cheers and a Happy New Year to All.

Ihr Liebchens,

kurz was zum geistigen Nagen :-)

Du bist was Deine Mutter ist; Du siehst die Welt und alles was auf ihr ist,durch die Augen Deiner Mutter.

Was Du später von Deinen Vätern lernst, ist was anderes.

Die Kette der Kultur ist die Ketter der Frauen,die die Vergangenheit mit der Zukunft verbindet

Diesen Spruch habe ich neulich gefunden mit einem wunderschönen männlichen,indianischen Gesicht auf der Frontseite.... schöööön gelle? Ich mags' einfach, obwohl wir ja wissen, dass die meisten Natives in dern USA O-er sind..... und unser maischddaa Dr. Peter D'Adamo ja auch sehr, sehr viele Aehnlichkeiten zwischen uns festgestellt hat . Yup manchmal... das mit dem *cholerischen Temperament* yup.....snief

bin auch eine davon aber ich habe kein A-shapement.....chuckle

seis' wie es will.... Euch allen alles Liebe und Gute, seid geärmelt und gedrückelt

vom Isa

und noch vielen Dank dass Ihr Euch die Mühe gemacht habt, meine Zeilen in Euch aufzunehmen;

Gott mit Euch, und bitte denkt daran- es gibt wirklich keinen Einzigen Grund nicht BTD-compliant zu bleiben

also Ihr Sweeties... muss Euch was erzählen... habe gestern ein entzückendes Jüngelchen... ne einen jungen Mann...hey Isa bitte ein bisschen mehr Respekt vor den youngsters...gelle .....

als Client getestet... wir hatten vorab den schriftlichen Keirsey-Test gemacht- prima und irgendwie juckte mich die Sache in den Fingggerles und mein Tester rief mich an..hey Duu da...mach mit mir mal nen Test in

Richtung Bachblüten aber dann richtig und guck mal wie es bei diesem jungen mann läuft.... und wo ist hier noch der Ansatz zur Integration.... supi---mach ich doch...mach ich :-)

tja also wir wissen es ist ein ENXJ.... aber welche *Formula* von T oder F es zu entwickeln...rausnöölen..arbeiten...pfriemeln...gilt...na schaun wir mal..... was sich da als *seine* Präferenz darstellen wird.... in den nächsten Wochen.....

Biiiinngggooooo......... alles eine Frage des Systems........ und der richtigen Verknüpfungen..... ergo nix

mehr im Schwarzen rumstochern sondern wirklich die Ganzheitlichkeit auf den Punkt bringen und richtig um-und einsetzten können.... japperdapperduuuuuu...... es ist richtig und D'Adamo hatte mal wieder in Schwarze getroffen---- toll!!!

It is hard to believe that another year is nearly gone. The days seem to just fly by and the months turn into a year very rapidly. We are experiencing a very mild winter overall. We did have a stretch of very cold temperatures with these much milder temperatures on both sides. Right now it is 31 degrees under mostly cloudy skies.

We had a 1 minute 10 second increase in daylight today. We are now up to 5 hours 45 minutes and 40 seconds of daylight. Sunrise was a 10:13 this morning and sunset was at 3:59 this afternoon. Sunset was quite beautiful with all the golden and pink shades. The state temperature extremes were at -18 at Fort Yukon and 50 at Annette for a 68 degree difference. The aurora forecast is for an active night. Unfortunately, with the clouds it is very unlikely anybody will get to see them in this area.

Christmas Eve was spent at our son’s and daughter-in-law’s home with all our relatives who live on the peninsula. They prepared most of a lovely dinner with each family bringing in a food dish to share. I'm glad I they decided against ham as the main entree. They bought a turkey instead. Yeah! Everybody had a nice time and spent Christmas day with their own families.

I think I may have eaten way too much wheat or maybe I just caught a cold, but I’ve been sneezing and using abundant Kleenex to blow my nose since Monday. My granddaughters made a canister of delicious cookies for me as a Christmas gift. They tasted great. Npw,I feel yukky even though it is just sinus. There don’t seem to be any other symptoms. Much more with the nose and I’ll be in competition with Rudolph.

Yesterday I had acupuncture for the first time. With all the ailments that are causing me problems right now, I figured I’d give it a try. Sure wish I could say I notice a difference, but I really don’t. I’ll go back another few times just to see whether or not it will help.

Although my blood pressure had improved to the point of my being off all medications, it shot way back up again a few months ago. When I get stressed out it is really noticeable especially when there are several reasons for becoming stressed. Such was the case and although most of the reasons have abated, my BP remains very high. For the most part I’m able to keep my breathing at 6-8 breaths per minute and my pulse rate isn’t too bad (69-74 bpm), but higher than it was earlier. I’m not able to relax internally even when I relax outwardly. I don’t want to have to go back on prescription drugs, but having my BP this high (up to 210/95) is not good either. The systolic number is all over the place. The diastolic number is usually in the 80’s. I’m following the BTD about 90% compliant, using herbs, tinctures, minerals, etc. that my ND has prescribed, but they aren’t doing much, yet. It is getting frustrating.

I did a web search yesterday and found that tofu or soy protein has the same sulfur-based proteins as cottage cheese. So, I’ll use that to make my flaxseed oil base for smoothies. I would like to find that rice milk would work too, but haven’t been able to find any good info on that. Soy milk isn’t to be used daily if you are an O. Making farmer’s cheese is another option, but then again it is still dairy. Finding a good sulfur-based protein that is okay for an O diet and able to be consumed everyday in a smoothie is difficult. Maybe something will show up, yet.

Till next time.

also Ihr Liebchens......

habe Euch von einem meiner liebsten Patienten berichtet..90 und fit.... nun seit geraumer Zeit habe ich das mit einer lady about 102- und im Februar 103 getoppt :-) ...doll gelle ?

Fragwürdig ist ob es wirklich schön ist sooo betagt zu werden... ich meine eher ................

gestern fragte ich die old lady ob sie sich an ohre Blutgruppe erinnere... sie lächelt mich selig and und sagt ja-Wassermann 8.ter Februar 103 Jahre alt....und sie sei so traurig -da sie alle überlebt häbe......



p.s.

sorry wenn Ihr Schreibfehler wahrnehmt....zur Zeit ? wie ich diese korrigieren kann...da läuft nix mit ner Richtigstellung zur Zeit..... kein Zugang ? also nich böse sein....weiterlesen......ein Teil ist *Neue Schreibreform* chuckle-

Well, as I'm certain many of you have been following my Dilbertesque work sagas that I blog about every so often, I am pleased to announce a very positive change in my life! I have a new job! It's actually a part-time position at a clinic-based pharmacy allowing me to keep weekends at my favorite current location uptown (I'd miss the patients and the staff there too much to leave!!), but the great news is that the benefits are going to be much nicer. Medical and dental start out at 20 hours/week so if I wanted to take a class or two, I could do so without spreading myself too thin.

One of the coolest things about my new job is the benefit for working moms. No, I'm not a working mom, but if I were a working mom I'd be taking full advantage of this: let's say you are supposed to be at work and your child is sick. Daycare won't take your child due to illness but you don't want to miss work and neither does your employer. Well, this company has a program where you can call in for registered nurse to come take care of your child for you while you are at work. You pay the RN $3/hour...the company picks up the remainder! Is that cool or what?

OK, ideally, we women would all be at home raising our children while our husbands are at work, but unfortunately, that's not the way the real world works most of the time. I think this is a darn good compromise!

Oh, and the best thing about my new job....no more customers rudely interrupting me with "Where's the shoe polish?" while I'm trying to help a patient or concentrate on verifying a script. All of this begins next week, just in time to ring in the new year.

Other news...I got a bread machine for Christmas. On the forum, Cocky has a great spelt bread recipe that I'm eager to try out! I also got some awesome Wustof knives from my dad. And some cast iron cookware. Dear Lord that stuff is heavy. I gotta get my butt back to the gym just so I can actually cook with this stuff!!!

The building biology stuff is coming slowly but surely at my new humble abode. It's an expensive project but as a pharmacist, it's easy to budget for it with each paycheck. Even so, the more I learn about this, how can one afford not to do this to one's home?

Christmas, Christmas, I don't want to talk about Christmas. It never goes quite right for me. My favorite intern/tech and little buddy Elana is inviting me to light the menorah with her and her honey. Maybe that's a sign. Hey, I've already given up pork due to the BTD. It's really wouldn't be a big deal for me if I one day decided to convert, just a blow to my Irish Catholic side of the family, haha. Well, it's a thought anyway. Amazing how our tribal forces within our upbringing can inhibit personal growth and instill a deep sense of inner conflict. Well, my family all thinks I'm a weirdo anyway so would it really be that much of a shock? Hmmm....

In fact, in my mom's annual holiday letter to friends and family, she basically gives a reader's digest version of each family member's year in review. Mine went something like, "Erika is continuously trying to convert us to organic living. But I'm not sure if I'm supposed to be using this bottle of flaxseed oil she gave me on my salad or my dermatitis."

With that thought in mind, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

na...habt Ihr mal gezählt, eigentlich gibt's uns nur ca. 3-5 % und hier haben wir uns versammelt........

4x auf diesem Board vertreten- irre...... das schafft nur Peter D'Adamo :-)

Wir, als die krassesten aller types.... aber liab ......von wegen irgendwelcher Aehnlichkeiten... seltens... kaum... oder fast garnicht....... doch....hier war jemand vor Kurzem bei mir am Draht- der gelibte Cück hat mir eine österreichische AB-lering übergeben- zwecks Test etc.... und da muss ich sagen- noch nie gesehen- aber sofort wiedererkannt- ich habe mit meinem Spiegelbild gesprochen... oups....gibts nicht- sagt Ihr......gibt's doch sehr wahrscheinlich auch ein A2B nonnie- etwas älter als ich... aber rasend ähnlich.... wei-aua- ......................toll............................................................................

Tja und nun zum Thema *super-intraversion* yup zum Teil schon richtig...fragwürdig mit wem und wann wir aufdrehen können- eher eine Frage des Vertrauens und des aroganten Gelangweiltseins unsererseits :-)

und da wir meistens sowieso schon wissen was unser Gegenüber gleich sagen wird..... nun ja...so is es halt.........aber wehe wenn wir losgelassen werden........ dann gehen die Tiraden endlos über die Bühne.....

und wir meinen -na klar jetzt ham'ses' kapiert.... und ach du grüne Neune- nix is....... wiedermal haben wir es geschafft vor lauter Laberei.....Schatten über das Licht zu werfen...soviel Gründlichkeit langweilt aber auch jeden.......sag ich doch.... ich war schon immer ein Blaustrumpf ...................

also meine Lieben, Deborah,yuppers diese über mir, hat mir meine Idee gegeben über mein neuestes Mampf

zu berichten- sehr fein -in allesn Variationen erhältlich....für A-B-O und für uns natürlich hauptsächlich....den Royals :-)

Man(Frau) n nehme: einen ganzen Truthahn-oder-Truthenne -oder Hühnchen........bepinsle diesen mit Olivenöl, fülle ihn oder lasse seinen Bauch leer.... je nach Lust und Laune-

und ab in den Ofen-je nach Grösse zwischen 2-3 Std.'s unterste Leiste im Elektro-Ofen.(180-200grad)

Grosse Zwiebeln schälen und grob-schnippeln-dazu grosse, ganz dunkelrote Paprika in Steifen schnippeln,

Gewürz-salz dazu, Courcouma, getrockneten Ingwer, eine Spur scharfen Curry, (spüüüürchen) Knobli frisch oder aus dem Oel (stinkt weniger) alles zusammen in der Pfanne brutzeln und als Letztes kleingeschnippelte Stückchen eingemachter Ana-trocken (Ananas) :-) dazugeben-nochmals 10 Minuten alles zusammen ziehen lassen- Giggl aus dem Ofen nehmen und mit ob.Genannten servieren- dazu Reis oder was den Blutgruppen adäquat entspricht....... Sehr fein Leutchens....sehr fein :-)

hoppppààà und guten Abend;

ich hoffe Ihr habt alle die Fiestas gut überstanden und dass keiner von Euch jammere da er/sie sich mal

wieder bezüglich Fiesta-Fiasko die Ausreden parat gelegt hat...über die Stränge zu schlagen;

oderrrr ...hääääääääääää??? ich höre grad nur Stille und leises Gestöhne in der Ecke...huh zuviel Herdöpfl...

gell...und ne Sau dazu....Maaaannnn .....musste denn das sein......?

Genau dööös is es... wir lügen uns laufend in die Tasche..... und noch ein Anlauf und nochmal...und nochmal... usw.... bis es uns irgendwannmal zuwider ist wir wir ganz absacken...

hey Duuuuu daaa ich weiss wovon ich spreche- ging mir über eine gewisse Zeit auch so.-zwischen 1986

und 2005 ist ne lange Zeit Ihr sweeties.....

Aber seit 1998 bin ich wirklich fast ausnahmslos dabei und zwar 1000% compliant... nur als unser heissgliebtes Peterlein den Café für uns AB-lers' veränderte... fiel ich aus dem Rahmen und seis' drum.....

den brauche ich für ein positives Seelenkleid...... habe ge-

lesen- bei einer anderen lady AB-too, diese brauchts' auch für ihr Seelchen und bien-etre :-)

Seit ich meinen Sekretostatus kenne und diesen auch wirklich ernst nehme- viele carbs weglasse (hat mich

vorher auch nicht unbedingt gejuckt) aber jetzt nachdem ich radibutz einige Pfünders zuviel drauf bekam;

eben immer diese wunnevollen Ausreden- Geburtstag-Weihnachten-Ostern und sonstige *Fiaskos* ahem

Fiestas' nööö meine Lieben, warum diese Tage nicht genauso compliant bleiben- wie sonst auch? Warum

soll ich Dinge in mich hineintun, welche schädlich sind? Sind es denn nicht genug Situationen-inwelchen ich a)nicht von diesen Dingen weiss und diese mich trotzdem belasten können, b)chemische Keulen die ich einfach durch Weglassen nicht in mich hineintun sollte und auch nicht tue...und dies sehr ostentativ und bewusst- denn jeder öffentliche Akt lässt *aufhorchen*..............

Ich musste immer über diesen blöden Spruch von Loreal lachen: weil Sie es sich wert sind... hi-hi-hiiiiiiiiiiund das für Shampoo und andere Haarpflegemittel..... woooo-hooooo ROFLAMO..... und dann

raddaboum.... na klar bin ich mir dies wert..... meine Gesundheit ist mir wichtig und ich habe auch absolut keine Lust irgendwelche lecker-lecker Sächelchen später zu entwickeln....ergo heisst das für mich..... do no harm to yourselve.....nor to others....

jeder/e der bei uns eingeladen ist zum Essen bekommt seit Jahren seiner Blutgruppe gemäss seinen Mampf vorgesetzt- die meisten sind platt aber essen mit Genuss...und zwar alles :-)

an fiestas und sonstigen Tagen = BTD compliant...

Morgen ....

btw: Kurzgelaber:::::

wir brauchen eigentlich kaum wirklich Therapeuten o. ähnliches.......ou mann ne Tomate kam gerade geflogen - wir brauchen gute Lehrer----- Lebenslehrer-------

und nix weiter.........

davon ist Peter D'Adamo einer der ganz Grossen und Erwünschten..........

recipe:

neu gefunden für AB-lers

eine Menge... so viel Du essen magst und kannst; ganz grosser weisser Champignons, aushöhlen...füllen

mit AB-adäquatem Fleisch...und Kräutern nach Deinem Geschmack...... ein kleines Bisschen Tomatenmark dran, Zwiebeln, Knobli wenn Du magst und nicht das Alleinsein fürchtest.....

ca 30 Minuten in den Ofen.... essen........lecker...lecker gell ?? !

Du wirst erstaunt sein, mehr als 1,5 von den Riesen kriegste nicht runter... einfach satt.............

was darauf schliessen lässt ... lieber mehr Eiweissbömbis' als zuviel carbs :-).....

howdy.........Ihr Süssen grrrüezzi :-)

also heute morgen..irx shockings for mee.... bekam ich eine Nachricht, dass jemand mein Schreibstil nicht gefallen habe- diese Person- gerade mal zwei Antworten auf's board... und schon der Hammer.........!

Jedoch bin ich ja ein nachsichtiger Mensch mit irre breiten Schultern...snief...auch das werde ich noch verkraften.......(äs bizzele häts' aber doch gezwackelt) smile......

denn ich musste wohl zur Kenntnis nehmen- dass diese Person von Keirsey's sehr wahrscheinlich noch nix...aber grad garnix gelesen hat....

clarrooooo.... meine Wortwahl waren nicht immer gerade von *Feinsten* aber ehrlich und genauso wie ich es fühlte.... neee brätsch...brätsch rüber mit den Projektionen und losgehämmert.......ich meine nicht ich sondern Diese/r......

Aber immerhinquwe...quit pro quo... eine Reaktion ist ausgelöst worden...anstatt pennen :-)

Was mich veranlasst aufzuzeigen.. und da nehme ich mich als INTP/J nicht raus........ wir müssen als solches aufpassen...alle NT's haben die begeisterte Art.... Menschen korrigieren zu wollen- ungefragt und manchmal recht harrsch........oder einfach jemanden überlabern- einfach *in den Senkel* stellen !!!!

Und das ist nicht unsere Aufgabe... sweeties.... wir müssen lernen bevor wir die Schnurre aufreissen- zu hinterfragen ob wir uns dies überhaupt erlauben dürfen..... eventuell könnte man hier jemanden grausam verletzten und wenn mir was an jemandem nicht passt- so nehme ich dies heute zur Kenntnis und belasse ihn/sie....denn ändern können wir nix mehr...es ist durch......gelaufen......fertig.... und da ist der

casus cnackus..... don't harm anybody......

Risos' 1 und 5 (ich 5-4) da sind wir zu finden; die 3-er können mit dem 1-ser verwechselt werden-sogar manchmals mit dem 7bener; nur ist hier keine N zu finden .........hey Du...ja genau Du..... nocheluege ...

danke und mit herzlichem Gruss

Eure Isa

Petroleum doesn’t just fuel cars! For those of you that are so opposed to drilling in the Arctic Refuge because we need to find alternative sources of energy, you might want to encourage alternatives to this partial list of common items which use petroleum ingredients during production or within the item itself: ink, toys, dolls, tires, tents, shoes, glues, skis, dyes, cameras, combs, dice, mops, purses, dresses, pajamas, pillows, candles, boats, crayons, caulking, balloons, curtains, milk jugs, dishwashing liquids, unbreakable dishes, car sound insulation, motorcycle helmets, refrigerator linings, electrician’s tape, roller-skate wheels, permanent press clothes, some food preservatives, transparent tape, disposable diapers, sports car bodies, electric blankets, car battery cases, synthetic rubber, vitamin capsules, rubbing alcohol, ice cube trays, insect repellent, roofing shingles, shower curtains, plywood adhesive, beach umbrellas, paint brushes, insecticides, fishing lures, linoleum, paint rollers, plastic wood, trash bags, hand lotion, shampoo, fishing rods, anesthetics, tv cabinets, salad bowls, awnings, safety glass, VCR tapes, movie film, loudspeakers, credit cards, water pipes, fishing boots, garden hose, umbrellas, rubber cement, telephones, antiseptics, deodorant, sweaters, floor wax, model cars, soap dishes, clotheslines, panty hose, oil filters, upholstery, cassettes, house paint, ammonia, hair curlers, eyeglasses, ice chests, ice buckets, fertilizers, toilet seats, life jackets, gold balls, detergents, sun glasses, putty, tool racks, slacks, yarn, roofing, luggage, fan belts, carpeting, lipstick, aspirin, faucet washers, antihistamines, drinking cups, petroleum jelly, tennis rackets, wire insulation, ballpoint pens, artificial turf, artificial limbs, shaving cream, cold cream, hair coloring, guitar strings, toothpaste, toothbrushes, folding doors, shower doors, heart valves, hearing aids, wading pools, bandages, nail polish, false teeth, tennis shoes, golf bags, perfumes, shoe polish, cortisone, LP records, vaporizers, and parachutes. There are lots of plastics I’ve not mentioned.

Of course, how do you heat your homes? Was it with natural gas, oil, or electricity? Was that electricity made from hydroelectric power or maybe natural gas or oil generated? We use oil. It is the primary fuel right now at this time. Yes, alternatives would be wonderful, but as the oil companies have already “bought” many alternative solutions, they aren’t available right now or in the foreseeable future. So, until such time as alternatives are available, we must use what is available. As you see from the list, it isn’t just automobiles that use gas and oil. It makes no sense to pay other countries for fuel, encourage them to put more oil fields on line, and reject what we have in our own country. We are held hostage to those foreigners whether they like us or not, because they do like our money.

As a post script, I did mention that ANWR proposed drilling area to be approximately 2000 acres in an area the size of New Jersey. That is the size of the refuge.

Well, we did get a 3 second increase in daylight today. Within a couple weeks it should be up to a couple minutes and within a month we will actually be able to notice the difference. We got about 6 inches of snow yesterday, so everything looks so nice and clean. The roads are really slick. Mt. Augustine gave off a smelly burst today, but the odor traveled the other direction. So far, there has not been any large volcanic explosions. They may yet occur.

I’m going to make my fantastic Carrot, Pineapple, Walnut, and Raisin cake. Tomorrow we will be going to a Christmas party and I’ll be bringing in some deviled eggs using fresh eggs from our hens. Then on Saturday, we’ll go over to my oldest son’s home where the entire peninsula family will meet to exchange gifts. That way, we are all free to worship on Sunday and focus on Jesus, which is the reason for the season, anyway.

Merry Christmas!

wie uns allen bekannt ist, so sind wir das, was wir in uns hineintun als psychisches Korrelat...u.a!!

Nun, das alles was eingefleischte BTD-ler (er) draufhaben in Sachen Ernährung und die verschiedenen

Temperamente bei Keirsey's und Briggs-Myers.... ist ein toller Widerspruch in der klassischen Psychatrie.

Hierbei dienen ob. gen. pschylogogische Begebenheiten und Gesamtbilder als Vorlage zur klassischen Degradierung in den psychopathologischen Bereich.

D.h. die freudsche Theorie, welche für mich immer nebulöser wird, jedoch als Breitbandacceptanz leider

Eingang fand in die Gesellschaft, wird als Vorlage für die Erlaubnis des Einsatzes vermehrter, nicht harmloser Substanzen, Psychopharmaca genannt, positiv aufgewertet- im Grunde jedoch ersetzten all diese

Mittel nicht die Menschliche Zuwendung!!!

Die Psychatrie erdreistet sich doch, psychische Zustände, welche wohl offensichtlich auf Mängeln beruhen,

dermassen in die Psychopathologie (eine Erfindung der NT's = nix ist zu weit hergeholt-dass es nicht wahr sein könnte- oder es wird passend dargestellt) herabzuwürdigen- aufdass auch noch von diesen Armseligen ein potentieller Profit herauszuschlagen ist, und dieser bitte noch in Zukunft ,die doch lange Ausbildung rechtfertigt und somit als Re-finanzierung nutzbar wird und wurde.

Hier in der Schweiz sagte vor einigen jahren ein *ehrlicher* Psychater... oups er hiess auch noch Rothschild; dass im Grunde niemand dem psychisch Erkrankten wirklich helfen kann, ausser ihm/ihr das Gefühl zu geben-dass sie nicht alleingelassen werden.

Dafür hält die Pharmalobby wunderbare *Pillies* parat- genutzt und tonnenweise liebevoll verteilt durch die psychatrischen Handlanger und leider auch vermehrt Hausärzte, welche ihre Patienten glücklich sehen und machen möchten.

Durchschauen wir nun, besser gesagt lesen wir ganz einfach mal diverse-verschiedene Systeme- so werden wir verstehen- inwieweit diese Systeme schriftlich uns begreifbar machen wollen- was habtisch nicht greifbar ist.... alles eine Frage des Glaubens..... denn wenn ich diesem oder jenem Therapeut vertrauen kann und mich auf ihn/sie einlasse- so sollte ich eigentlich auch das glauben- was sie/er mir

galubhaft darstellt-...... was da heisst *healing-systems*

Also, meine Liebchens, seid liab mit Euch-achtet Euch und Eure Tempel inwelchen Eure Seelen leben und *inkorpoiert haben.... nicht sind !!!

Wie Graf Dürckheim immer zu sagen pflegte- den Körper den wir haben- die Seele die wir SIND......

gestaltet Eure Ernähung Eurer genetischen Grundlage...d.h.. blutgruppengemäss, nehmt Eure Supps....es ist wichtiger als Ihr eventuell ahnt- denn unsere Grundnahrungsmittel haben nichteinmal mehr die Hälfte an echten Nährstoffen wie vor 10 Jahren, lasst Euch nicht von Euren Emotionen davontragen...es könnte gefährlich werden-in unserer komischen westlichen Hemisphäre ,wenn keine starken und guten Freunde an Eurer Seite stehen- und informiert Euch über die verschiedensten Systeme- jedoch bitte keine Identi-

fikation mit diesen- denn sobald ein attachement entsteht- seid Ihr manipulierbar.

MfG

Isa

Today is our shortest daylight of the year with 5 hours 41 minutes and 20 seconds! Tomorrow will begin the increasing daylight until June 21st. I believe that we will have only a 4 second increase tomorrow, but it is a start. Sunrise today was at 10:12 am and sunset will be at 3:53 pm. Our current temperature is 26 degrees and it is snowing. That aurora forecast is moderate for those in an area of no clouds. Yesterday’s high for the state was 5 degrees at Annette Island and the low was at the Mag. North Pole where it was -24 degrees.

A few weeks ago, the ball python escaped his terrarium and wandered through the pet room. My husband found him a few days ago. Apparently he had found food while he was out as he was still quite plump and still very healthy. He didn’t get near any of my birds. Actually, they are all too big for him to eat, which is good from all points of view.

Well, ANWR was rejected again today. It is really unfortunate for Americans, but those lobbyists really need to keep ANWR closed so they will have an income. If people really knew the area to be utilized was the size of a commercial airport (2,000 acres) and in an area far removed from any mountains or scenic area, they might have been more open-minded. I’ve flown over the area several times. It is flat, very little vegetation, lots of puddles, a tremendous amount of mosquitoes (I know people that have walked through the area), and basically a frozen desert. People are afraid that the caribou will be disturbed. Well, this is in an area that few caribou ever venture into. Also, the caribou was a major concern before the trans-Alaska pipeline was built. The caribou population has expanded.

It is really irritating for people who really don’t have a clue to dictate to Alaska how to take care of our own business. Opening ANWR would benefit those very same people. Well, to those people I would say, “Enjoy the gasoline prices we pay, now. Realize that the money for that gas also is paid to the leaders of nations that prefer to do us harm”. We, as a nation, are supporting those nations because we don’t want to use oil in an area you will NEVER see. Oh well. The lobbyist won. You lost. Pay more and don’t complain. Be sure to remind yourself when you pay for that gas that it was your choice to pay more to save those poor, dear mosquitoes.

I made my own farmer’s cheese this week. Vicki sent me some directions and it was very easy to make. However, I needed to make a change in the amount of lemon juice necessary for it to curdle correctly. I’ll be using that to make my smoothies this week. I used some for a creamy cheese sauce last night and it worked quite well. The down side is that it cost about $6.50 for 3 cups of fairly dense cheese. I won’t know the cost-effectiveness of this until I see how many smoothies it makes. Regardless, it is something I do plan to continue so we will have a neutral cheese available for baking and other uses.

heute hatte ich eine, für mich eher etwas ärgerliche Begegnung mit einem sogenannten *Oberschlaule* der doch tatsächlich behauptete, dass gewisse oder ganze Vitaminkomplexe toxisch seien und viel bla-bli-blui drum herum- und ich hatte ziemlich Mühe an dieses *Käpsele* seines Zeichens Schulmediziner, heranzukommen um ihm ein bisschen auf den Zahn zu fühlen.......

Ich finde es ziemlich deprimierend, dass wir, trotz der doch so angeblich fortschrittlichen Zeit und auch adäquaten Fortbildungssysteme über alle Massemedia, scheinbar nicht in der Lage sind, einfach mal das

Maul nicht so weit aufzureissen- sondern bitte nichts mehr ungeprüft an die Oeffentlichkeit herauszuposaunen- wovon wir im Prinzip kaum eine Ahnung haben.

Wenn diese *Weisskittel* schon vorfinanziert werden von der Pharmalobby, so wäre es wohl doch nur angebracht- bevor man an die Oeffentlichkeit geht- sich vorab gründlicher zu informieren und nicht von

assoziativen Vorurteilen sich verleiten zu lassen, was das ganze Prinzip von Dr. D'Adamo genauer beinhaltet, sowie auch dem orthomolecularen Bereich seine Wirksamkeit nicht abzusprechen.

Ergo meine Liebchens, sollte dies Euch auch einmal passieren, so möchte ich heute Euch ganz liab ans Herzl legen, nicht aufgeben, sich von solchem Geschwätz nicht beeindrucken lassen und seht genau hin- wo Keirsey sich gerade mal wieder offenbahrt... oder eventuell auch Don Richard Riso auf dem desintegrativen Weg vorbeihoppelte :-) chuckle

also meine Lieben, jetzt muss ich Euch etwas erzählen:

ich wurde einmal gebeten, eine sogenannte *Sterbebegleitung* zu tätigen.... es hies,- 2-3 Tage und alles

sei dann erledigt...... da ich scheinbar hier durch meine *oelige Tätigkeiten* als Begleitungsunterstützung

irgendwie bekannt geworden bin, warum auch immer- ich frage mich immernoch...wer hat dies verbrochen- hi-hi-hiiiiiiii :-)

sagte ich zu und dachte mir, als ich den *zum Abdanken-verurteilten* sah, damals noch knackige 89 Jahre

jung; nöööööööö Isa...setzt den mal auf die O' Kost und guck was passiert......habe versucht dies der

Haushälterin klarzumachen, was hier zu tun sei, schwierig da sie selbst schon im fortgeschrittenen Alter war und aber dafür ein B.

Prima; ist sich ähnlich, nur die Milchprodukte mussten so gut wie raus.... na ja die Anfangskämpfle waren schwierig...dann gings gut......

Sicher konnte ich leider die vorausgeilten damages nicht mehr rückgängig machen, denn er hatte wohl mehrere Schlaganfälle erlitten- aber wir konnten zumindest mildern und verbessern was zu verbessern war;

adäquate orthomoleculare Stoffe in den ersten Monaten,- dann runter und jetzt nurnoch ein Multivitaminpräparat mit allem drum und dran und mehr nicht. Er spricht fast ausnahmslos zusammen -

hängende Sätze und hat kaum noch Absencen oder ähnliches. Das Einzige was zu beobachten ist, dass er vermehrt viel schläft und weniger isst.....aber dafür einen leicht süssen Zahn entwickelte :-) das könnte auf Candida schliessen lassen- ist aber nicht unbedingt als behandlungsbedürftig angesehen worden- seitens der entscheidungsfreudigen Familie.

Hauptsache er hat mich überlebt... wooo-hoooooooo :-) er fühlt sich gut und wird hoffentlich mindestens 100 Jahre alt.... zum Aerger - der Anderen :-) ......moah...moah...moah

in der alten jüdischen Tradition darf man gewisse Namen nicht aussprechen,welche als göttlichen Ursprung

gesehen wird; jedoch hat sich hier ein langjähriger (über jahrhunderte schon) Fehler eingeschlichen und es wurde übersetzt: ich bin Der ich bin; es heisst aber in Realität ich bin, der/die ich werde

und wenn wir die tiefere Bedeutung von dieser Aussage verstehn wollen und nachvollziehen bis ins' kleinste Detail, yuppers , ihr Lieben- geht mal ganz zurück an Eure Anfänge in Sachen blutgruppenspezifischer Ernährung und dann bitte nach ein paar Monaten-Jahren und Jetzt......

und nun stellt mal die Vergleiche entgegen mit Euren Freunden-Bekannten- vonwelchen Ihr die Blutgruppe

kennt und diese, die nicht BTD verfolgen und sich nicht adäquat ihrer *Herkunft* genetischer Natur ernähren...

ooohhh Mann ooh Mann... hey was für ein Unterschied- gelle ??...einfach irre.........einfach toll zu sehen und zu fühlen wir es UNS jetzt geht.... was war vorher... mit wievielem waren auch WIR geplagt oder aber auch durch Chemie unterwandert!

Früher habe ich mich über dummers-abwertendes Geschwätz der anderen via BTD geärgert; heute lache ich darüber und sehe genau hin...wen ich vor mir habe...versuche ihm/ihr, aufgrund seiner/ihrer Unwissenheit zu vergeben und ciao.....wie sagt man hier*g'sund bliebe... lang läääbe " -chuckle-und yup

shorted version- chuckle

in this moment when client might be able to give up a little of his/her EGO, healings might begin :-)

oder auch über das physische Annehmen/Ablehnen von Naturheilmitteln

also meine Liebchens, da bin ich wieder und heute vom board warm rübergebracht,dieses Thema......

was ist Eure Erfahrung hierbei?

Ich mache immer wieder diese Erfahrung, dass gerde die taffen O's aber hier die Sekretoren, häufiger nicht

oder nur sehr,sehr wenig auf Naturheilmittel ansprechen. D.h. gemessen oder gesehen im Keirseys' System sehe ich hier häufiger den SP-style, manchmal-hier, eher selten, die NT's so gut wie nie die NF's und auch

eher seltener die SJ's......die nicht darauf ansprechen.

Ok, zum besseren Verständnis kurz ein Beispiel:

Mann, Mitte 40, O-sek. macht an einer gewaschenen Depression herum, A-shapement im Psychogramm

bei Riso's 7-8 und Keirsey's ESTP........hier kommt der Einsatz von hochdosiertem Sam-e zum Zuge-B-vits,magnesium etc. sogar etwas Rhodiola, div. NAP-produkte aus dem O-programm jedoch ist das Ergebnis eher dürftig, d.h. so gut wie kein Ergebnis und keine Veränderungen weder mit Verhaltentherapie noch sonstigen Th.formen ausserdem hält er sich eher ausnahmsweise an die O'diet;

dito das gleiche Prinzip mit einem A-Mann sekretor-ENTP korrespondiert jedoch mit St.Johns.W. Magnesium,seiner A-diet und natürlich dem Grundprogram aus NAP-produkten; bestens auch in seiner

dito das Gleiche mit einem AB-ler....+ - ähnliche Verhälnisse beim Sekretor Mann wie beim O-ler sek.ENFP

dafür gute Correspondenz mit einem AB- Non-Sekretor mit St. JohnsW. + Rhodiola+ B-vits + Magnesium in höheren Einheiten -INTJ-.

Hierbei kann ich leider nichts über das B-verhalten bei Männern berichten- ich hatte noch keinen depressiven B-ler

Das Resumé hier: O sek. nimmt heuteCypralex da er agressivst ausflippte,dito AB sec. mit Zoloft; der AB

nonnie ist auf ob. beschriebenen Stoffen weiterhin und der A secretor dito auf Johanniskraut und seinen

correspondierenden Naturheilmitteln und orthomolekularen Stoffen.

Dies finde ich immer wieder- ähnlich auch bei anderen Erkrankungen vor, und sorry die wenigsten O's sind echte introvertierte...auch wenn wir gelegentlich schwanken zwischen I und E, so sind doch wohl unsere genetischen Präferenzen festgelegt, mit Wachstumspotential..... yup jedoch determiniert.........!

The weather has moderated again. Our temperature is just now 30 degrees! This has been a peculiar winter with rain, snow, warm temperatures or very low temperatures. It used to be predictable. Now, it is not. At least we don’t live in the interior or along the arctic coast where it is very cold most of the time. The state high was at Dutch Harbor with 43 degrees and the low was at my husband’s birthplace of Tanana with -23 degrees.

In about a month, Barrow will have a sunrise. We will continue to lose daylight until next Wednesday when it will very slowly begin to gain. After a few weeks of slow gain, it will increase fairly rapidly for a few months. Today’s sunrise was at 10:06 with the sunset at 3:52. That gave us a net daylight of 5 hours 46 minutes and 23 seconds which was a loss of 1 minute 28 seconds over yesterday.

Mt. Augustine is an active volcano not far from Homer on the lower Kenai Peninsula. Mt. Augustine has become somewhat active recently. Yesterday it sent a plume of steam that extended about 50 miles. It had quite a sulfur (rotten egg) odor, but for the most part didn’t spread over populated areas. The volcano has not erupted, yet, although there are many small earthquakes with the mountain each day. The last time it did was in 1986. There is a very good chance that it will do so again and probably within the next couple weeks. Depending of the air currents, we may or may not be doused with ash. It really stinks and makes a mess of things. Aircraft can’t fly with ash in the air, so a disruption at Christmas could irritate a few people. Cars shouldn’t be driven while the ash is in the air as that really messes up the internal workings.

Tomorrow, my husband and I are planning a trip to Anchorage to drop off Christmas gifts for my daughter and her family, and to finish some shopping for others, too. Next year a Walmart will be built in Kenai. That will cut down the amount of trips to Anchorage. Our area doesn’t have a K-Mart (although we did for 10 years), a Burger King (we used to have a couple), a Wendy’s (another casualty), or a KFC (went out of business this year). We do have McDonalds, Taco Bell, Arby’s, and Subway. There’s a lot of fuss about Walmart coming to town. I do have my concerns, but it will be nice to buy underwear at a reasonable price. We really don’t have many choices right now. But, I’m also afraid that more people will move into the area and we will grow even faster.

I’ve begun to do some Christmas baking. It isn’t hard to use the alternative flours in place of wheat, and to make other adjustments to the recipes. It is really surprising how wonderfully delicious good-for-you foods can taste. Next week I plan on baking about four different kinds of cookies. The one’s I made last night are already gone.

Till next time….take care.

guten Tag, bonjour, hello, grrrrrrüüezzziiii, bon dia

so jetzt bin ichs' wirklich und leibhaftig... hi-hi-hiiiiiiiiii jetzt habt Ihr mich : Ihr Armen, wirklich bedauernswert aberrrr ein muss, ein echtes Bedürfnis....von wem fragt Ihr- na von Euch dachte ich ....

neee ???

Schwierig-schwierig hier anzufangen.....über was soll ich den labern... ja natürlich ich freue mich schaurig hier sein zu können und auch direkt mit Euch via das übliche board kommunizieren zu können und natürlich freue ich mich auch über Eure Fragen oder Zuschriften, Erfahrungen und einfach Meinungsaustausch.

Gerade liege ich in den Blogger-Geburthswehen........und es will mir einfach nix Gescheites einfallen-

is auch juk..... dann eben nicht reicht ja eigentlich auch kurz mal vorbeizuwinken-zeigen hallo ich habs' geschafft in Sachen *Hineinbröseln* wenn Ihr wüsstet wie einfach es eigentlich ist und ich es mir so schaurig schwierig gemacht habe : nah so was- clarroooo da chömmt meine Zwanghaftigkeit etwas zum

Durchscheinen....aber mein B-part rettet mich in die Lächerlichkeit und dann kann ich mich halt einfach nicht erst nehmen- auch gut soo.

Also mein Pc-crack war heute da, hat alles wieder hingepfriemelt, nun ist nix mehr separiert bei mir in Sachen mail und internet.... so was blödes aber auch und ich selbst habe es sogar verstanden was er tat und sagte.... himmlich ist das rückvergewissernd dass ich nur noch losdöggelen brauche und dann aber mit Freude und ohne Angst...oups gehts' wieder schief oder nicht. Prima.......

meine Liebchens.... wir sehen uns später wieder das war nun der allerste Gehversuch in Sachen *zu Papier bringen* so long, grosses bises - truly yours Isa -

Hello, sorry I've been out......too much going on personally.....Thanksgiving in Florida for 2 weeks, 2 family funerals, not to mention THE holidays............I'm sure everyone's busy with all their personal ups & downs as well but I'm definately over due for a check-in here............so what have I been up to food wise...........

A little cheating here & there & it shows mostly in stomach aches & digestive woes. Since it's been so long since the last blog, I can't really remember exactly WHAT it was that sent me down hill but there's a few memorable instances.......like the Korean BBQ I went to a few weeks ago for a friends B-day/surprise engagement. Great time & great food but boy was I feeling it later. Not ONE THING there was beneficial & like one neutral. B/c it's a family style place w/ no lettering on the food, I'm positive almost everything I ate was an avoid. It was however, delicious. Sometimes, especially during the holidays, you can't help yourself, you're just going to end up in a place or situation where there are NO other alternatives. The best you can do is enjoy yourself......that's what the good Doctor reccomends & it makes perfect sense to me. Another good tip I read somewhere online.......you like EGGNOG.....

Think of it as your dessert, not your drink........that way you limit yourself to one glass towards the end of the party instead of chugging down several all night. Another good tip for O's from the message boards..........seltzer neutralizes the avoids in white wine for you so go crazy on the white wine spritzers!!!! (Just give someone else the keys.....:-) They are however a neutral which won't help that beer belly of my hubby's so I try to get him closer to the beneficial RED WINE.......it works.....sometimes.....:-D

The DDR has also been put on hold w/ the combination of getting out Christmas/wedding picture cards & studying for the next LIRR exam. It's tough. Even my mom whose a flight attendant doesn't have to memorize & go through all the safety procedures we do. It's like studying for a bar exam one friend said, but about trains.........I'm looking forward to it though when I finally get paid in April........then it will all be worth it.

Not sure what to get people for the holidays? Here's a healthy & probably welcome change from cookies. Expensive as they are, pick up some bulk bags of walnuts, pecans & dried cherries. All are neutral or beneficial to all blood types. Put them in a pretty tin, like the 99 cent ones from Party City, & you should be set. If you know the person's blood type, throw in some other trail mix type goodies that might be beneficial for them. They're great pick me ups when you feel your blood sugar drop but you know you should stay away from that holiday fudge.....:-) If you want to throw in some chocolate, try the choc chips by Trader Joe's - they don't have all the additives & avoids that the big name brands have hidden in them........

Cheers & Keep up the warm spirits everyone! Email if you have a question.

As I wrote previously, my husband and I sold our business to another company in August. The other company was not well put together as our company and were not able to complete the last part of the vendor take-back on November 30.

Because of that, my husband and I are taking control of our business again, but we are tangled in issues with the rewind, so I have spent the better part of a week unwinding the combined company.

The kicker to this whole thing is the owners of the other company were trying to remove me as a director for the past month!!!! I think they thought if they could get rid of me, they would have a chance to take over our company.

My staff keep commenting on how well I am taking the stress (my A husband is not taking it well). I actually enjoy this type of stress, even though I find it difficult to eat, I make sure I eat a piece of beef and some spinach everyday. Believe it or not, that piece of beef seems to centre me and allows me to take things in stride. My husband looks haggard and has put on about 10 lbs. He got a sinus infections and isn't handling the stress well. By the end of this week we should have a resolution and we can get our offices moved and totally separate the companies.

There has been a nasty Asian Flu circulating throughout the school systems here for the past month. It finally arrived at my teen's school this week. B was down for 3 days, but has made a total recovery, I understand many children have ended up in the hospital with terrible cases of pneumonia. My son said there were only 12 of 25 in his class on Friday. My youngest son was playing Star Wars and got his heel caught on a cold intake vent. The heel peeled back so wehad to take him to a Mediclinic to get glued back together, but he is good to go a week later. The Canadian Medical System is great for emergencies.

I must go finish another 1000 journal entries!!

Get ready, becasue Isa's Blog is coming soon!

Ugh..

It's been quite a skin nightmare for me since Thursday evening. As winter progresses and the air dries my skin out, I've been looking for a good bath product in hopes to keep my skin hydrated and soothed.

I ordered some Melaleuca stuff (see a previous blog re: multi-level marketing companies) because they have a tea tree oil-based bath oil that is supposed to work wonders on dry skin. Well, I got the product in the mail on Thursday but of course the delivery guys left it on the front porch. Everything froze including the Renew bath oil. I let it thaw out though I have to wonder if somehow freezing the product perhaps altered its chemistry...

I hopped in the bath, but of course my evening bath rituals are never so simple. I also added some Masada bath salts (the Woman version with chasteberries, rose geranium, etc). As I began soaking in the tub, my skin did feel instantly better; however, I also noticed a film building up on my skin that I was not fond of. I have this habit of scraping down that film with my fingernails because I love seeing it leave my skin, all those toxins, etc. Well, the majority of this film was not the typical grey but instead a bright white, most likely from the product itself.

I followed this bath with the Renew Lotion. Next thing I knew I woke up ITCHING. All over! OH MY GOD. I haven't itched this bad in YEARS!

Now, add this to yet another factor. I had my ears candled right before Thanksgiving. While I got rid of a lot of wax this way, my ear canals were dried out too much in this winter weather. Within two weeks, perhaps I was sticking my fingers in my ears too much afterwards, but I think I then gave myself an otitis externa infection. I tried the natural stuff (garlic/mullein, tea tree oil/grapefruit, etc), but the pain and itching in my outer ear never let up so I got an rx for Cipro-HC (expensive!!!).

So, with all these factors in mind, I'm either:

a)allergic to ciprofloxacin

b)an idiot for scraping the film off my skin b/c it probably took away the good protective stuff as well

c)an idiot for using an altered product (due to freezing)

d)an idiot for mixing products (though I've never had a problem like this before!)

e)not an idiot, but perhaps sensitive to Melaleuca stuff.

Well, hmmm.....as I sit here itching away, just pray that this will go away sooner than later...

I used a little bit of Nature's Gate oatmeal lotion and Dr. Haushka's moor/lavender oil last night hoping to relieve some of the itching. A little relief but nothing major yet. Here's to one more round of bathing, this time with Dr. Hauska's lavender bath. Wish me luck.

Food, diet, etc....I was reading an interesting article on raw foods dieting. And how that just doesn't fly too well here in Minnesota winters. Sometimes you just HAVE to have warm food in your belly when it's 5 degrees outside! I'm all about eating in season and if that means roasting the squash, I roast the squash!

Have you seen those lovely Christmas cards that show a wintry scene of ice covered trees? Well, that is how it looked yesterday as we drove through town. All the trees, shrubs, and grasses were coated with that white hoar frost. Hoar frost occurs when there is an ice fog which clings to whatever it touches. It is amazingly beautiful and gives such a serene and surreal effect to everything you see. Wow! Even though it must be very cold for such to happen, the sight makes it worthwhile.

Today the temperature has warmed up to the low 20’s. That is quite a jump. It is expected to be in the 20’s and 30’s throughout the coming week. The roads will certainly become more treacherous as the temperatures rise, especially if we do get a freezing rain and snow mixture as forecast. Out will come the cleats so walking will be less hazardous. That is a dangerous time for man or beast to be moving around. Just imagine walking on a wet ice cube. It’s a little unnerving.

Today we are at 6 hours 5 minutes 41 seconds of daylight. Sunrise was at 9:52 am and sunset was at 3:58 pm. We still have about half an hour of light to lose before the 21st of December when things begin to turn around again. The state’s high was 44 degrees F at Annette Island, while the low was -47 degrees F at Eagle, a difference of 91 degrees!

I’m beginning to feel a bit more human. I estimate that it might take another week or so for me to be totally back to where I was before the teeth incident. Tomorrow I’ll be getting a Vitamin C cocktail IV. That should make a considerable difference just as it did last year when I was recuperating from the flu. Hardly anybody hates needles as much as I do, but after getting this IV last year the difference was so dramatic that I’ll gladly undergo the needle anxiety again.

Tonight’s dinner was so good. We had steamed rice covered with turkey gravy (kamut) with large chunks of turkey, onions, and peas. It certainly didn’t look very fancy, but the flavor was wonderful and everybody ate their fill. It was a wonderful winter dinner.

The Lake Harriet Spritual Community was having a bazaar featuring all sorts of interesting booths. It was like an expo, only much smaller and more intimate. I had my tarot read and it was right on the mark. Then I decided to have my power animal read. I closed my eyes and began visualization with the spirit reader lady by my side gently keeping in contact with me. As I had just heard and seen two owls in my backyard the other night (both good and bad omens depending on the cultural source), I thought perhaps this was my power animal.

I scanned through my mind many different creatures trying to find one that stuck with me. However, most animals just kind of floated by never identifying themselves. Then, as the reading came to an end, I opened my eyes and the woman said to me she has found my power animal.

Diagnosis: Wild Turkey

With this I bursted out laughing. Not in absurdity nor in dismissal, but simply in the humor and surprise of this discovery. I remember as a high school kid walking home from school, coming into the subdivision where the old Asbury farm still stood (until some plastic surgeon took over the lot and put up an annoying white picket fence around this previously open mysterious land). Anyway, one day I saw a wild turkey in the barn. It was the coolest thing! I started to chase after it hoping to hang out but it just kept running away. I told everyone I knew about this turkey and they weren't very moved. From that point on, the fascination with this wild turkey encounter was always in the back of my mind.

I was told to learn as much I can about turkeys and turkey medicine. The most amazing thing about turkeys is their hopeful presence in today's environmentally unsound world. Man did many destructive things to bring the population down to 30,000 back in the early 20th century; however now these fine birds are thriving at 6.4 million! Turkeys symbolize giving, going above and beyond the ego, being resourceful and sharing.

There is much to soak in right now. Samsu, the female turkey spirit by my side, and I have much bonding to communicating to do. It should be a great journey.

Now I might be back to normal for a while! Yesterday afternoon I had those two infected teeth removed. My ND gave me some rauwolfia to place under my tongue just before going to the dentist’s office. I also took along my blood pressure diary so he could see that my BP doesn’t stay elevated to the extreme, but rather upon going to the dentist. Fortunately, the diary was effective as the rauwolfia didn’t get the BP down that soon. So, they put me to sleep knowing the rauwolfia would drop my BP shortly (which it did), they pulled the teeth, and I awoke and headed home much improved. The fever and high blood pressure should both be gone soon. Today my jaw feels a bit tender, but no real pain.

I’ve also noticed within the past few days that I’m more clear-headed than I’ve been for the past couple months. During this ordeal with my teeth, I’ve used three sets of antibiotics. About the time I was finished with the last set, I noticed that improvement. I’m wondering whether the antibiotics were finally effective in eliminating whatever infection I had or if my flaxseed oil smoothie played a major role. I was off the antibiotics for five days before the surgery and feeling pretty good overall. And, I’ve turned the thermostat back down to normal. I’ve been cold at 74 degrees! Now, 70 degrees is okay, again.

With more energy, I’m hoping to get back to baking and fixing better meals again. When I’m feeling so poorly and foggy –headed, I really don’t want to spend time in the kitchen trying to fix well balanced meals. Foggy-headedness just doesn’t motivate me to get much done. Well, fortunately, today I’m feeling clear-headed and almost energetic. I’m drinking my smoothie and have a good meal planned for tonight. Yup! It’s nice to feel human again!

I decided to open up the Joy of Cooking today and also a couple of weeks ago to make the old-fashioned oatmeal w/spices for Grubster and me. I subtracted one-half cup of oats and replaced them with buckwheat. I bought a quart of goat milk and decided to use some of it in place of water. Grubster was not so hot on the goatmeal concept. He doesn't quite understand why I can't use cow milk like the rest of the world. I've been trying to explain to him the fact that the milk protein is better assimilated by the human body than that of cow milk but he still think that goat milk sort of stinks. Well, it does.

However, the goatmeal turned out quite nice tonight. Pure maple syrup rounded out the plump raisins and cinnamon and nutmeg for me (avoid for Os). It was yummy in our tummies!

Speaking of yummy....a new bakery opened up near my new neighborhood called Yum! Deli and Bakery. And lemme tell ya, it is AWESOME!

We are currently watching Rx for Survival, narrated by Brad Pitt on public television. I'm trying to stock up on as much herbal remedy for the upcoming flu season...elderberry extract, etc. All you can do is be prepared. Worry is inefficient.

I've been doing much work around the house with Oram Miller and electrical mitigation whiz Kent Haugan who have already worked to reduce the magnetic fields in my house. Their next step is to reduce the electrical fields around the house primarily when I sleep. Most of us cannot reach stage 4 (non-REM) deep sleep because we are bombarded with electrical currents all night long. I really think this is the key to better health, more important to spend money on than any other thing we could do including diet and exercise. I'm so eager to learn more about building biology!!

Again, check out this website if you haven't already and find a building biologist near you!

Hope everyone had a wonderful thanksgiving!
