Why You May Want to Add Turmeric to Your Diet!

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.

My Mind Says Give Up! My Heart Won’t Let Me

heart_comment_201

I just can’t help it; maybe I’m too positive. I still love life and probably always will. I began this week not being able to wear clothes. It felt as if I was bruised all over my body. It also felt like I was burnt all over even breathing hurt. It lasted about two days, and each day after that it either became more bearable to me or was less–I’m not quite certain. My spine is still tender, but I make it a point to dress like I was going out somewhere. My short-term memory is short, short, short and, at times, nonexistent. I feel like I am watching myself through a movie and just can’t seem to get enough rest. The fatigue is just so intense at times.

I just look around and thank God for everything. I love my husband, my dog, my family, and my friends. I love looking at the mountains, the sunsets, the full moon, etc.  I just have this feeling that all will be OK. A sense of well-being and contentedness. I know I will get through this stronger in mind, body, and soul. We will all get through this I know, not all the same way, and the way we imagine but we will get through it. For we all have our purpose here on earth so I guess I better go and do what I can and enjoy every minute of life.

My mind says give up, but my heart won’t let me. As Evander Holyfield says:  “It is not the size of the man but the size of his heart that matters.”  I may add, it is also the strength of your heart too that matters.
