Something From Nothing

 

You know how when you don’t have enough money to pay for a new outfit, you find a way to make your own or scour the consignment shops instead? Or how you’d never entertain the idea of buying a pie for a potluck gathering, but you would instead pick apples from the neighbor’s backyard tree and make your own? And how in the end, the product was far superior to what you could buy retail?

Having the ability to make something from nothing or next to nothing is one of my favorite things in life to do. And I’ll bet it is yours, too. But there is something else that plays into this. Your new skirt, made from fabric found in the remnant bin, is different from anything anyone else is wearing. YOUR pie used butter or lard instead of commercial vegetable oil … and the house smelled of baked apples all day. What could be better?

And that’s independence. That’s self-reliance; it is pride.

And that, my friends, is the making of excellence.

A Tale of Guts & Glory (And as Usual, a Good Remedy, Too)

I’ve just returned from the hugely successful Weston A. Price Foundation Annual Convention in Atlanta, meeting new friends, connecting with old, eating gourmet nutrient-dense foods, listening to wonderful talks from top experts in their fields, and of course, the highlight for me: teaching a six-hour course on How to Raise a Drug-Free Family. If you have never been to one of these conferences, I urge you to try to attend next year.

Somewhere around 1200 people attended the keynote presentation given by  Andrew Wakefield, MD, the British gastroenterologist and vaccine expert who established the connection between vaccines, gut dysfunction and autism. One of the most noteworthy statements he made in relation to vaccine damage was, “We are here on this earth because of mothers’ instincts. We need to pay attention to what mothers observe.” (more…)

Here’s an Opportunity You Won’t Want to Miss

In just a few short days, I will be leaving for the Weston A. Price Foundation’s 14^th Annual Conference, Wise Traditions 2013, held November 8-11 in Atlanta, Georgia. I can’t wait!

And the conference fee includes five delicious gourmet meals that incorporate the principles of these healthy diets! Where else could you find that?

No Cure for the Common Cold? Hogwash!

“Sniff, sniff … I hab a code!!”  Our office is starting to get the calls and emails, the perennial sign of the season: “What remedy does Joette teach for the common cold?”

I will tell you what I recommend, folks: a lovely bowl of bone stock, herbal tea, a few oranges … and bed! A cold is your body’s way of telling you to slow down and prepare to hibernate, if you will. Drink some yummy broth and eat oranges. Allow yourself to be deliciously sick. Watch a funny movie and nod off on the couch with the purring cat.

We live in a high-pressure society. Americans have a developed sense of obligation and ethic. A double-edged sword, I suppose. It’s what makes America productive, as well as bringing us to our knees … or our couch.

Don’t Accept Less in Your Quest for Genuine Health

 

My husband and I recently contracted to have some work done to the outside of our house. Winter is just around the corner, and several places on the roof needed repair.

The contractor came that first day, sun shining, full crew and eager to start, but they did not finish. After that first day, they never returned, despite the fact that the job was incomplete. We paid them a large portion of the agreement at the end of that first day and haven’t seen them since. Paying without completion of work was probably the problem, but that’s the subject of another story.

As I write this, it’s day 18 (but who’s counting?) after the project began, and the last little bit that will complete the roof repair remains elusively incomplete. I am beginning to accept that the work may never get done. I’m already past the stage of being angry with the contractor. I’ve begun to creep into the “oh-well-I-guess-I-have-to-learn-to-live-with-it-as-it-is” stage.

Good Gut, Bad Gut: Most Common Questions

Good Gut, Bad Gut: FAQ

“Read the Science. Raise Your Hand. Ask Your Questions. Learn the Facts”

Many of you have asked very good questions, so I know you are learning the facts.

 

 

1) I can’t see my insides … how do I know if my gut is good or bad?

 he relationship between digestion and overall health is much more far-reaching than simply experiencing frank gastrointestinal symptoms. Various mental and physical ailments, such as ADD and autoimmune diseases, have been observed to have their origins in poor digestive health. The way you might know if an illness is related to the gut is if there are chronic problems that began after a gastrointestinal event, even years previous. Also,  if foods seem to be bothersome, even if the symptoms present in remote areas such as on the skin, the respiratory tract or neurologically, it can potentially mean the gut is disturbed and is worth investigation.
