Courage Doesn’t Always Roar

Many of you are extremely ill and essentially have lost your lives, your families, friends, and livelihood. Your life, as you knew it, has been destroyed, worst of all, many have lost their hope and faith. Or, you are still mourning your life and the person that you used to be. That is why I was so torn and confused with what I am about to share with you.

On the one hand, I didn’t want to shatter your hope. I even thought that was it was for the greater good that I didn’t share this bit of news. But then, my feelings, as my younger sister so eloquently stated, is I do believe in miracles and that you can be cured and regain your life.

Adrenal Fatigue or Lyme?

Since my horrific experience with Lyme and Babesia, I have been a major advocate of being proactive in your health. This includes listening to your body and following those signals that it sends out. It also includes thinking outside the box; also, following the less-travelled roads, unlike many in the medical community frown upon, which I attribute to how well, I have been.

Lately, it seems that I have been dead tired for no reason, having trouble getting up in the morning, just feeling run down and dragging throughout the day, and just simply too tired to do anything.

turmericWhy You May Want to Add Turmeric to Your Diet!

Ayurveda means “the complete knowledge for long life.” In India, ayurvedic medicine is used a traditional medicine and turmeric has been in use for over 2500 years there. Also, I remember that in my life, I have known and worked with many from India and the other countries that use Turmeric for several medicinal purposes and long life. Many of them seem to have been quite healthy and happy.

Dr. Andrew Weil, M.D. in his blog also addresses the benefits of turmeric in your diet. He was also instrumental in Dr. Zhang writing his book, Lyme Disease and Modern Chinese Medicine, and Dr. Zhang has very high respect for Dr. Weil. Those of you that are familiar with me, I have nothing but the utmost respect for Dr. Zhang and his Lyme protocol. Also, as one that was unable to take many of the conventional anti-inflammatory or pain medicines, I felt it was important to search for other remedies that may supply some relief. There are many others that also rave of the benefits of turmeric.
