Why 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.

Thank you for being with me through this roller coaster of my life.
This little blurb is for those that are on the other side of this horrendous Disease. Last night as I sat and watched my husband in obvious discomfort, I experienced several different emotions. I went from fear to helplessness to anger to shame to worry to annoyance to relief to concern to fretting; the cycle kept repeating itself.

How angry and helpless they must feel. Just sitting back and not being able to do anything to help you. Then, when you are in the Emergency Room and trying to explain what is going on with your loved one and not being heard. While you are asking questions or adding to what your loved one has said, it is as if you are not there, totally ignored. For those that have not made a trip to the ER, great for you! However, for those that have whether it was for your wife, children, parents, etc. know what I am speaking about-it’s as if it’s just a one-way discussion.

What Would You Do?
Most of us often plan our lives. I know I planned my life. Early on my plan changed; I fell in love and we were married. We then made plans around love and health.
Throughout your married life you hear of others that become divorced; you then fear that if that happened you’d fall apart and not make it. You learn to live and need that love; you learn to lean on one another. It is said that divorce or losing a love is always a possibility. What if you become so used to it and it falls apart? Will you survive that pain?
