We drove to Anchorage and back today. The roads were clear except for a couple places. The pass still has quite a bit of snow and the mountains look as though they’ve had a recent snowfall as they just glistened in the sunlight. The lakes in the pass were almost covered with ice and snow, however, I did notice some open water near the edge opposite the mountain. The lakes from here all the way into Anchorage were still icy, too. There was finally some open water in the large marsh outside Anchorage where many sea gulls were already nesting. We also saw a couple pairs of swans and several different kinds of ducks.

The dall sheep are also on the move and enjoying fresh moss, lichens, and grasses on the mountainside. I never tire of seeing them.

The trees haven’t started to bud, yet. Some grass is becoming a bit greener, but it looks as though it’ll be at least a couple weeks or more before everything begins to turns green. I’m hoping to go gold digging as soon as it dries out and gets a bit green.

We stopped at our favorite buffet restaurant for a late lunch. It is nice to be able to choose an almost totally compliant meal. There aren’t many options available elsewhere. We also stopped about 40 miles south of Anchorage to get a coffee on the way home and have a stretch break.

My husband has been a real dear this week in going above and beyond in cleaning the house of cat hair and dander. He steamed cleaned the 1900 square feet of carpeting, rid the cat of most loose hairs, cleaned the cat, and has been keeping everything well vacuumed. My allergy tests came back and registered a total IgE of 40.3! Well, 3.9 is considered a very high allergy rating and #4 on the scale of 1-6. A number 6 is 25 and above. Forty point three is just a tad higher than that!

I am following Dr. Dadamo’s suggestions from his Allergy book and I’m also using things prescribed by my naturopath in an effort to return to a normal life free of sneezing and congestion. I’ve been mildly allergic to cats for many years, but this year things went haywire. Guess that is why we have so many reptiles that live with us. At least I’m not allergic to them.

Till next time.

guten Abend meine Liebchens :-)

gerade habe ich die latest edition der teutonischen Orthomolekularen Fritzles durchgeackert und komme zu dem Schluss, dass dies doch alles recht hirnrissig sich zeigt...es erscheint alles in grau mit einigen Pastellfarben...aber dann ist alles wieder schwammig und eine Auslegungssache.

Also NEM = Nahrungersgänzungmittel

EBD=Erezugnisse für eine Bilanzierte Diät....

BTD= is ja klar..odrr??

Evidence-Based -Medicine= tja auch ne Auslegungssache :-)



wo sind hier die Möglichkeiten auf vielfältige Art die wissenschaftlichen und unwissenschaftlichen Nachweise über einen Bedarf solcher Produkte unter Evidenz zu stellen... einfach ein Witz.....

Entweder sind wir BTD-ler somit fein raus und können sagen...ok das sind Nahrungsergänzungen.... und dann kommt Vater Staat und sagt..hey hier sind aber herbs drinne das hat nix mit Nahrungsergänzug zu tun...tja wo ist hier die Evidenz??

ok...hier ein paar Beispiele:

Konzentrationsstörungen...........= keine def. Krankheit,Störung oder Beschwerde

Amalgamvergiftungen................= " " " " " "

Beschwerden infolge oxidat. Stress= Krankheisbild nicht existent,bzw.nicht definiert

Augenerkrankungen wie zB: grauer Star und Makulaturdegeneration ....=zu breit gefasste Patientengruppe

Stress-u.-Erschöpfungssyndrome....= kein konkretes u. eindeutiges Krankheitsbild

ergo nun komme ich hier angetrabt und sage für bt. A dieses und jenes Produkt...für die anderen bt's andere Produkte.... der Enzyklopädie entsprechend..... keiner kann mir hier sagen ob das evident ist oder nicht... da keiner sich hierbei wirklich auskennt.... ergo sind diese BTD-produkte Nischenprodukte.... bis auf Weiteres......

jetzt kommt ein clou....Aus ernährungsphysiologischer Sicht bilden die Referenzwerte der Nährstoffzufuhr in diesem Zusammenhang keine geignete Grundlage.....tja sag ich doch.... :-)

und noch ein clou: Der Nachweis des Nutzens, bzw. deren juristische Anerkennung erweist sich in der Praxis zunehmend als zentrales Problem..........................

Danach gelten randomisierte, kontrollierte Studien als *Goldenstandard*; liegen mehrere, sich zum Teil wiedersprechende RCT's vor,so kann eine gesonderte statistische Auswertung vorgenommen werden, deren Ergebnisse in Form von Metaanalysen bzw. systematischen Uebersichtsarbeiten dokumentiert wird:

nun sei dem geneigten Leser bitte bewusst, dass ide meisten sogenannten M-analysen von den jeweiligen Pharmaherstellern propagiert und ausgeführt werden und wurden...ahem...sehr neutral somit und aussagekräftig.............. man lese bitte den letzten Newsletter über dieses Thema mit und von Dr. Michael Murray Natural Living- Canada Monat April 06....

wiedersehen macht Freude :-)

und bis bald Eure Isa

Well, things are peachy in Erika's neck of the woods. The garden plants are coming up just beautifully. Now if only I could get my dog to stop peeing and pooping in it!

I always enjoy highlighting new culinary experiences and would like to share with you my latest Whole Foods adventure: Kombucha. According to the label for this drink made by Millenium Products, Inc., "Kombucha (pronounced kom-Boo-cha) is a handmade Chinese tea that is delicately cultured for 30 days. During this time, essential nutrients form like: Active Enzymes, Viable Probiotics, Amino Acids, Antioxidants, and Polyphenols. All of these combine to create an elixir that immediately works with the body to restore balance and vitality."

This particular version I'm drinking as we speak is called, "Gingerade" which contains organice raw kombucha and fresh pressed ginger juice. Due to fermentation, the label also warns that the product may contain a trace amount of alcohol (less than 0.5%).

Indeed, one can taste a slight fermentation so please be careful driving, haha.

This stuff is quite strong but it certainly is interesting in my humble opinion.

What else is new? I've been doing this yoga class once a week (alternating w/pilates once a week). This yoga instructor is this tiny little middle-aged Asian lady. It's a beginnger's class but it focuses more on core stability versus flexibility so it completely kicks your ass. Watching her instruct us while doing these asanas herself with ease is quite entertaining. There is always a lot of laughter in the class because most of us are no where near that good (hence, it's a beginner's class).

The instructor has studied many different schools but her primary training is in Synergy yoga. And I will attest that it certainly is synergistic! I think this is the very first time, despite many months of Bikram in past years, a short fling with Iyengar, and numerous journal articles and books on the subject, that I truly understand the benefits of yoga to the body and how my own personal imbalances can truly be corrected through body awareness.

Being left-handed, imbalance is incredibly prominent in my body language and posture. My left shoulder slumps forward after years of writing the way most lefties tend to do. Typing is my saving grace because it allows me to write square on and use both hands (though most experts agree that the most frequently used keys are actually on the left side). It seems the majority of the world's ergonomic accomodations are based on right-handedness. This "dextrocentric" point of view is a curse to lefties. But we have our strengths as well. For instance, music and rhythm come very naturally to me. I can pick up a song off the radio or a CD and play it with little effort on my piano or guitar. Once you have the chords as the skeleton of the song, the rest is all in the details. Most recently, I was in the mood to imitate U2's "Pride" and Brian Adams' "Do I have to say the words?" Both songs were puzzles solved within minutes even with me singing along at the same time. I am so happy to have a Clavinova at my disposal. It is such a cool toy!

Well, I think I've really come to peace with my current career. Where I am working now, I am mainly dispensing acute care meds (for pain control, infection control, etc.). I work for a wonderful not-for-profit health system that really cares about the well-being of their employees. I no longer have to work evenings, my schedule is not stressful or overly demanding. And I can bike to work. What more could I ask for?

Well, Grubster is informing me that it's bedtime. I should go now. Ta ta for now!

Today was a bit blustery, but with temperatures in the mid-40’s. We also have nearly 200% more daylight now than at Christmastime. We are over 15 hours a day of daylight now with about 5 ½ minutes increase each day. The state’s low temperature today was -28 degrees and the high was at 50, still a 78 degree temperature range.

Have you seen the new program “Honey, we’re killing our kids”? It’s on TLC. I’ve seen a couple episodes and it does get parents’ attention. They are shown computerized photos of how their kids will look when they are 40 if they continue eating as that have up till now. Then a doctor gives them rules to follow for three weeks to realign themselves with a “proper” diet and exercise. Although the doctor stresses a low fat diet as THE solution for all the weight gains, it is still interesting to watch the kids and the parents go through the process. At the end, parents and kids are willing to continue with the new lifestyle. Update computer-generated photos show how the kids will look at 40 IF they maintain this new dietary and exercise program. Maybe it will get the attention of many parents. Unfortunately, sugar-free cereals don’t help everybody to lose weight.

A couple weeks ago I had a blood test to determine air-borne allergies that are bothering me. The results showed four, bright red squares in the cat category. Apparently, that is an extreme allergy to cats. It may be the allergy that is causing my blood pressure to stay so high, my eyes to be a bit dry, my sinuses to be so stuffy, and for all the sneezes. Thankfully I still drink my noni every day and it does help combat some of the symptoms. Also, maintaining my O diet is essential. I’m also using EFT and hoping that I’ll be able to reverse the allergy or at least mitigate it enough to cope. Katie cat has been a resident here for 10 years. So, now we have a real problem. I don’t want to have to get rid of her and I know the rest of the family doesn’t either. Well, it is almost warm enough to open some windows and let the fresh air in. Maybe that will help.

With the price of gasoline going skyward, I’ve decreased my driving and just do the essentials. I rarely drive more than 25 miles a day and do that in one trip. So, I missed the snow geese this year, although I haven’t heard that anybody saw any either. They started changing their route a few years ago and the numbers have been declining.

Today I did most of the shopping for the month. I stocked up on lots of frozen foods and good fruit juices. Also, I picked up some organic pears, gala apples and fresh bananas. I did get a large bag of fresh spinach and organic carrots, too.

Well, it’s late and I’m tired (or at least my eyes think so). Till next time…

guten Morgen Ihr Liebchens:-)

sorry habe mich nicht mehr gemeldet da ich einfach kaput war; jetzt verstehe ich eine Sache besser wenn Peter schreibt, dass sich AB-lers manchmal wie *gesplitted* fühlen; hier ist eigentlich schon der Wink mit dem Zaunpfahl zum 5-er in Risos' denn dieser sagt hierzu: ambivalent....(Kindheiszauber :-( ) und wird zum grössten Teil total missgedeuted und überladen mit Eigenprojektionen von ....

Das was ich jetzt gespürt habe war eher ein totales ausgepowert sein, keine Reserven mehr da und sehr

fragile in meinem mentalen Zustand. Der Vorteil an und in diesem Zustand ist, man (Frau erst recht :-) )

wird offenbar luzider und die Wahrnehmung ungemein geschärft.Die körperlichen Reaktionen auf avoids sind noch stärker als vorher und die beneficials scheinen nur so aufgesogen zu werden; hm...kaum zu glauben dass ich jemals dermassen hinter etwas stehe; aber BTD ist und bleibt meine Art zu leben und auch ein grosser Teil meines Lebensinhaltes, welches ich weiterhin gerne teilen möchte, aber mich auch dadurch mit-teilen.

Was ich witzig finde ist, wie schaffte es Peter D'Adamo vorausschauend etwas darzustellen, oder besser gesagt fassbar werden zu lassen, was im Grunde keiner bis dato erreicht hat; weder wusste er um die

Umgebungsbedingungen-egal welcher couleur- in die wir hineingeboren werden und wurden, die unsere psychischen Korrelate darstellen, noch um unsere körperlichen Stärken und Schwächen.

Auch können wir nicht davon ausgehen dass hier immer nur Identifikationsprozesse den Träger darstellen

soll; auch nicht die Lektininteraction mit unseren fluiden Körpersäften.....also was diente hier als Grundlage

eines dermassen fundierten Fachwissens und seinem einzigartigen Kombinationsvermögen? Vielleicht die einzigartige Sichtweise nach langen Jahren der Forschung und Beobachtung wann und wie ein Individuum auf einen Stoff agiert und somit etwas danach manifestiert?!

Ja wahrscheinlich ein grosser Teil- jedoch vermute ich hinter all diesem einen genialen Geist mit einer einzigartigen Sichtweise, der zum Teil leider von Vielen verkannt wird und zur Zeit noch nicht die Importance zugebilligt wird, die ihm eigentlich zusteht.

Today has been a lovely day. There were eagles soaring every which way I looked. The marsh has open water in several areas and the snow geese should be here by tomorrow. Soon the caribou will migrate to their calving grounds. Spring is indeed here. Oh, we may still get a snow shower, but it won’t last. The nights are still in the 20 degree range, however, within a couple weeks it should stay above freezing most nights.

While feeding the Savannah monitor lizard a few days ago I was mistaken for her food. She grabbed hold of the side of my index finger and when it didn’t die right away, she clamped down harder. Well, with my husband tapping of the side of the aquarium she let loose. Then she saw her real food. I washed up really well, rinsed with hydrogen peroxide and then applied grapefruit seed extract to the area. I really expected that to be the end of it. I’ve soaked the finger in Epsom salt water a couple times a day and put calendula tincture, tea tree oil, or GSE on it, but it is still red, swollen, and sore. It’s about time to soak my finger again.

I have been busy working on our taxes for several days, but now they are finished. I’ll be sending them off on Monday with a check.

I made up a double batch of vegetable broth this morning, packaged it in two gallon-size bags and put them in the freezer to use at a later time. It certainly smelled good. Then, this afternoon I bought three legs of lamb. One will be for Easter dinner and one I cut up into several bags of stew meat and a bag with a meaty bone and fat. The third just went into my freezer for a large meal some other time. If it didn’t have a bone in it, I would have cut it into two roasts. I really like lamb, but it is usually only available here for Easter so I had to buy in a little bulk amount.

While at the store, I also bought some fresh green beans. Okay, they aren't extremely fresh, but they are almost as fresh as we can get here. They will be a part of Easter dinner. I also bought some mint jelly to go with the lamb, and sweet potatoes, too. That should make a pretty good meal full of "O" foods.

That is just about all for now. Those taxes just wore me out. Till next time…

Since I am a raging Intuitive, I have some real problems writing down recipes because of my interpretation problems. So when I read a recipe I will start thinking about what to do with the recipe. My interpretation of recipes goes something like this:

This recipe looks really interesting, I could do some really creative things with this food. Open the fridge, let my imagination roam. Onions, garlic, some mustard, what about the kale sitting in the back. You know what, I need some meat in this soup. I think I have ground beef in the freezer. Go into the freezer and emerge with beef sausage. I need some vegetables, mashed carrots, sweet potatoes will do. I only want to use one pan, so I will start sauteeing the onions, then the beef. Add ingredients as flavour and colour dictates. Did I mention the spices, because I can't remember what I threw in the pot.

While soup is simmering, clean out fridge and rearrange cutlery drawer. I could probably get a start on next week's dinners by cooking the frozen hamburger I went to find in the freezer, but I will do the dishes instead.

Serve soup, and dream about being a professional chef or opening a restaurant.

I am sure you all guessed the original recipe was for pea soup.....

Well, I’m back, Rossini is over and I can sort of breathe. Now back to my other problems. Oh good. Honestly I don’t whine all the time, even though it might seem like I do, it is just the rush and stress of this has shown me that unless I find some way to improve my health I cannot move to the next stage of life.

Case Study #1

Career. Many exceptional career opportunities have had to be passed up in my life due to my poor health. Either because I was constantly running to the bathroom, too fatigued to get through a whole day or plagued with a terrible flare that stopped me dead in my tracts (or put me in the hospital) Many dreams have been lost, money turned down, bridges burned

Case Study #2

Social Life. This too has had to be sacrificed in order to take care of myself and devote the energy I do have to trying to work. Plus, I have had to break many engagements, cancel at the last minute or just not accept at all, because I was ill.

Case Study #3

Love Life. None. For most of the same reasons as #2. Plus, oddly enough, I have to say I think not having a period in 10 yrs has done something. I’m sort of stuck



Case Study #4

Financial. This I will save for my next blog…….the rant about health insurance companies and mainstream dr.’s…………Get ready, it’s coming………



So where do I go from here? I ask you kind readers for analysis and suggestions. Use your intuition, ask your dog, refer to you Tarot cards (Isa?) And join me along the way, we all have hurdles in our lives that prevent us from getting to the next phase in life. I have been stuck in different levels of this stage for too long, it's time for me to move on, where are you going?

hallo Ihr Liebchens:-)

heute sah ich in der Mattscheibe die ch-Diskussionen bezüglich Kostenexplosionen im Gesundheitswesen und die rasenden Probleme die sich unser Staat selbst im Wege steht durch rasen komplizierte Einfuhrbestimmungen;- jeder weiss es..jeder schreit...hey wie ungerecht, wir müssen was ändern und wenn' in medias res gehen soll ist keiner mehr da zur executive....ha-ha-haaaaaaaaa......

wir erlauben uns, den grossen Teutoniern nachäffend ein rasend teures Gesundheitssystem, mit allem Schnick-Schnack, vieles ist total überrissen und übertrieben- aber äbbä gell mir hän's jo.....ergo wird

eine wunderbare teure Apparate- und- Medikamenten austeil-Heilsversprechen gepflegt und gehegt und

für was???

Als ich for ca. vier Jahren versuchte BTD in die Zürcher Präventivmedizin einzulotsen, so hiess es von unserem Doktorchen der Kommunalpolitik Zürich, das sei alles nicht bewiesener Lifestyle und hätte mit Prävention nix...aber auch grad garnix zum due.....ahhhaaaaaaaa.......aber dann ganz grossartig in die Klötze gehen und hochoffiziell erklären, dass die Kinder der Rudolf Steinerschulen mindestens 1/3 gesünder erscheinen und weniger Fehltage in der Schule aufweisen, als normal aufgezogenen Göfers :-) ahaaa....

à la gut.... wenn's halt dann in die Richtung gehen soll......wir haben auch Montesori u.a.

Das Gleiche gilt für unsere sogen. stabilen Preise (Abriss nenne ich dies) in Sachen Medikation, und Nahrungssupplemente (incl. orthomoleculars ) gopf..... wenn ich mit meinem Tester immerwieder feststellen muss dass sackteure Supplemente von keinem der Blutgruppen wirklich gut assimiliert werden weil meist auf Mais oder Weizenstärke die Vitaminpräparate aufgebaut wurden, u.a. und ähnlichem, dann muss ich mich langsam fragen....wo steuern wir hin???

Wenn ich dagegen andere Produkte austeste, und diese werden super aufgenommen und nur weil sie die ch-Prüfung noch nicht durchlaufen haben, jedoch in ihren Herstellerländern GPM geprüft sind,aus protektionistischen Gründen abgelehnt werden,oder dann eben im langsamten gear auf 100'oooFranken test und Prüfungsgelder hochgetoppt werden,(und das bitteschön aber nur für ein Produkt...gelle!) dann wirds mir einfach nur ganz anders; d.h. es geht nur um Umsatz und Geldeintreiberei- wie und was mit unseren schweizer Bürgern und deren Gesundheit wirklich steht...interessiert keinen in dieser Behörde!

Leute wacht auf...Codex alimentarius ist leider keine seichte Erfindung...................das nennt man dann hier die affaire *Cassis de Dijon*....................



P.S.

stellt Euch mal vor: ein Spital gibt kostengünstig nur eine Multivitaminpille, etwas Spuren- und -Mengenelemente ab, vielleicht einfach mal als gag in ihr Behandlungsprogramm einzubeziehen; was meint Ihr wieviele abertausend weniger Komplikationen vor-wärend und nach einer OP sich zeigen würden und wie schnell zum Teil Leute in die Erholungsphasen eintreten könnten.....und jetzt spielt mal mit dem Gedanken des Experiments......14 Tage vor OP adäquate BTD-ernährung und 14 Tage nach OP....incl. der BTD-protokolle...ouch.....dann hätten wir endlich unseren Durchbruch.....

Our community is so supportive of people who need our help. It is very refreshing to see so many people work to benefit someone else. Our community does this quite regularly for people with various illnesses or losses after a fire, etc. Tonight was an example of the thoughtfulness and generosity of the people of the Kenai Peninsula.

There is a 10 year old boy who was recently diagnosed with a leukemia rarely found in a child and very difficult to treat successfully. The community has gathered together to help his family pay for housing and other expenses while they are with him in Seattle. Tonight was just one of several benefits in his behalf as the Middle School transformed into a carnival with many booths, games, and entertainment. The large parking lot was filled to overflowing as people came and went. Entrance was $1 and tickets were 50 cents for each game, trinket, or snack. I know they raised lots of money tonight.

I had to stop the car on the highway a couple blocks from home two days ago as a mother moose and year-old twins crossed the road. They looked to be in fine shape for this time of year. This winter has been fairly mild even though we did have a fairly lengthy cold spell. The cold weather isn’t nearly so bad for the wildlife as the deeps snows. In a month the new moose calves will arrive.

Last night I made a rice pudding using leftover rice, raisins, agave nectar, eggs, rice milk, and cinnamon. It turned out quite well. Rice pudding is one of my favorite desserts. Even Muppet enjoys a nice spoonful of pudding for his treat.

I bought most of the seeds I’ll need for this year’s garden, most of which will be in containers. A few year’s ago I completed the Master Gardener’s course and promptly broke my ankle which has prevented me from doing much gardening. My ankle turns on uneven ground, so I do have to be careful. But, if I do most vegetables up in containers I should be able to work it out okay. I’m especially hopeful that the root crops will do well, but then there are the lettuces, broccoli, kohlrabi, and summer squashes, too.

Planting out of doors can usually be done around the first of June. So, I’m going to start some seeds now and more each week until the first week or so of May. Hopefully they will ripen at slightly staggered times. Sometimes the zucchini get a bit out-of-hand and we wind up with more than we can eat, but I may try the dehydrator for some veggies this year. Such wonderful thoughts of all the upcoming bounty while the yard is still knee-deep in snow!

Till next time…. Take care!

guten Abend Ihr Liebchens :-)

gerade habe ich mir mal wieder eine Dokumentation bezügl. ob.gen.Themata reingezogen und deren Verriss via Schulmedizin. Aufgeführt (sehr genüsslich) wurde Dr. Raths' Versagen bei der Behandlung eines krebskranken Kindes namens Dominik. Therapievorschlag u.a. waren höchstdosierte Vitamin C gaben per oral und Lysine; tja da muss ich sagen- eigentlich wissen wir heute- dass hierbei eigentlich eine Vit.C Infusion notwendig wäre , um den Magen des jeweiligen zu schonen und um auch diese Höchstdosierungen überhaupt erreichen zu können. Desweiteren muss ich zugeben, dass eigentlich Lysine eher ein Mittel der Wahl gegen virulente Infektionen darstellt, was genau das u.a. dann noch zu bedeuten hatte, wurde leider nicht näher spezifiziert.

Wie wir wissen, so hatte dieser Behandlungsplan leider einen letalen Ausgang und somit ist für ausreichen Stoff gesorgt, uns Complementären in den Dreck zu ziehen und überhaupt keine Relevanzen uns zuzugestehen dass auch die Naturheilkunde absolut in der Ca- therapieform angebracht ist, uns zwar mehr als das. Complementär = bedeuted zusätzlich, auch die Orthomolekularen sind sich ihrer Aufgabe wohl bewusst und agieren adäquat. Bis dato habe ich aus diesen Reihen seltenst jemand gegen die Behandlung solcher Patienten in der üblichen Schulmedizinischen Form wettern hören, noch sehen, Rath scheint hier die unheilige Ausnahme zu sein.

Ich muss dazu sagen, dass ich immer die Begleitung aller natürlichen Behandlungsformen begrüsse, denn diese sind immer als support gedacht und somit auch die toxischste Behandlung etwas auszutarieren.

Obwohl unser Oberster hier in Zürich sich dagegen stellt und sagt *wärend der Chemo keine Gaben von orthomolekularen Adjuvanzen, noch sonstigem.....* hmmm hier bin ich anderer Meinung und habe andere positive Ergebnisse gesehen.

Wobei mich heute Abend hauptsächlich eines sehr störte; dies war, dass man nun wiedereinmal alle Formen der Naturheilkundlichen Verfahren schlichtweg in Abrede stellt, dito Ernährungsempfehlungen einfach vom Tisch wischt (unwissenschaftlich....ich frage mich hier welche Verfahren in Sachen Oekotrophologie überhaupt zu Anerkennung gelangen, nur um nichts ändern zu sollen, da wir hier das Thema *wissenschaftlich * falsch beleuchten; wir kriegen es nun mal nicht hin, bei der gleichen Erkrankung zweier komplett unterschiedlicher Patienten, die gleichen Parameter zur Anwendung zu bringen, noch die haargenau gleiche Situation zu creieren; der Factor Zeit, Aussen-Umwelt, die eigene

psychische Verfassund und Veranlagung spielen alle eine enorm wichtige Rolle. Ergo vielleicht sollte man geneigt sein, doch sich Gedanken zu machen ob der richtige Fragestellung!)

Immernoch gilt....hört denn dies nie auf...eben gegen Dummheit kämpfen selbst Götter vergebens....

eine Therapieform muss bei allen gut und gleichsam wirksam sein....und das ist sie eben nicht. Gerade bei diesem Thema möchte ich ein Beispiel anbringen:

eine lady in ihren frühen 70gern, mit einem Rezidif eines Mamma-ca's....(incl div. Metastasen)gegen ihren Willen, nur aus Liebe zu ihren Kindern hat sie die Chemo akzeptiert. Genutzt hat es nicht- nichteinmal angeschlagen hat diese Art der chemischen Keule (n) und die arme Frau starb in kürzester Zeit.

Das gleiche Geschehen bei einer jüngeren lady, auch diese musste durch entsetzliche Leidenswege- jedoch heute ca. 2 Jahre nach Op und Chemo und Bestrahlung, geht es ihr recht gut (ausser Müdigkeit) und sie kann als geheilt gelten. Hierbei sind orthomolekulare Substanzen, inc. Misteltherapie zum Einsatz gekommen, was bei der älteren lady leider abgelehnt wurde.

Ich meine, wie Peter D'Adamo es auch präzisiert in LR4YT- in solchen Fällen sind alle nur erdenklichen schulmedizinischen und complementären Begleitmassnahmen dringlichst angezeigt; jeder hat das Recht seine Lebenschancen um jeden Preis aufrechtzuerhalten......wie ist im Prinzip in seiner eigenen Verantwortlichkeit und hier darf sich keinerlei Rechtsstaat einmischen, der Entscheid liegt immer bei dem

Erkrankten (im Falle von Erwachsenen, natürlich).

Following the BTD and making wonderful meals from our lists of beneficial and neutrals is such a blessing. Usually I just comment on the content of what I’ve made for dinner without elaboration. So, tonight I decided to elaborate a bit and give you some additional information.

Although beef is listed as a beneficial for us O’s, grass-fed or organically grown beef is so terribly expensive at $15-17 a pound. So, I buy primarily ground elk or buffalo (bison) and sometimes buffalo roasts or steaks. Until a second store decided to have the ground elk and buffalo as a stock item at $3.99 a pound, the price at the first store was $6.99 a pound for ground and more for the roasts and steaks. Now their prices have dropped to $4.49 for ground and $6.99 and up for roasts and steaks.

Last week I cooked up some quinoa for a side dish and followed their recipe that used crimini mushrooms, onions, and garlic with a touch of soy sauce. It was really very good, however, there was still quite a bit left over. So, in a rather creative mood, I used those leftovers mixed in with ground buffalo, more onion, eggs, oats, and some ketchup to make a nice meatloaf. I got great reviews on that one! It really had a super flavor.

Tonight I prepared rice, beef bouillon, and onions in my rice cooker. I steamed some fresh carrots with basil. The main dish was sliced buffalo round steak with onion pieces, crushed garlic, and two large, sliced portabella mushrooms sautéed with just a little soy sauce for flavoring and served over the rice. It was very flavorful and everybody enjoyed it, even my type A husband who does know he shouldn’t have red meat but does so regularly.

We returned to winter for a few hours yesterday when we received some fresh snow. It has pretty well melted today. The nighttime temperatures are still going into the lower 20’s and the daytime highs are in the mid-30’s to mid-40’s here. The annual migration of snow geese should arrive in 10-14 days. The northern region of the state is still seeing temperatures that are below zero. In fact, one day last week the low temperature at Chandalar Lake was -41 degrees! About 1/3 of Alaska is above the Arctic Circle, so it does take a while for that area to warm up for spring.

The bears have left their dens, now, and are on the lookout for fast and easy meals. A couple days ago, my daughter got a good whiff of one when she got out of her car at her house. The dog was making a low growl sound, his hackles were up, and he was looking into their woods. She quickly escorted the kids into the house where they all stayed for a while. We have bears around here, too, but haven’t seen or heard from any yet this spring. Actually, I hope we don’t, either.

Daylight saving time began this morning. What a waste that is for us. It does nothing to help conserve gas and oil, but does serve to get us up earlier “just cause” so we can be just like those in the lower 48. Never could figure out the “reasoning” behind that one.

Oh well. That’s about all for tonight. Till next time…
