(Previously AuthenticMSLymeLife. I decided it was time to freshen up my handle.)
Hey there! I'm a Canadian Christian living with chronic illnesses. Yes, plural!
Finding my way through, to heal naturally, and without any real medical system care, being in western Canada.
I've got lots of hope to offer, but note that: if you're looking for someone to blow sunshine up your butt, this may not be the channel for you. If you're looking for the real deal, you're in the right place!
I have MS & Lyme (maybe the same thing?), toxic mould exposure, and now hypoglycemia and epilepsy.
Over the years I have found the medical system has failed me and even harmed me many times. I've had to learn a lot on my own and really learn how to advocate for myself.
It has been a bumpy road at times!
This channel is my vlog and also a place to share information I have found along the way that may help you too.
My pursuits are primarily diet/nutrition/exercise/lifestyle, functional & holistic treatments.

FYI, I'm taking a break from making coconut yogurt for a while.
After making several batches that all had mould on top I realized it's because we're in that season when the A/C is going most of the time.
Dr. Davis has said that you want to be careful to make sure you don't have air blowing around a lot while making it, and that makes sense. Because it has to be boiled and then left to cool, it really needs the lid off for some time. That's clearly not an option in the summer!
I'm sure in September I should be back to making lots more though. :D

I'm thinking of so many new yogurt ideas I want to try. Which ones would you most like to see? Please comment if you have other options you would like me to try. It needs to be coconut as I can't eat dairy at all right now. I froze all that's left from my first batch of L. Reuteri and first batch of L. Gasseri so that I can use them as starters. That way I can start doing this without inulin and hopefully it will be easier on my digestion. Lots of fun exploring these options with my new yogurt maker!

EXAMPLE OF MINDFULNESS
by Marcia Montenegro
I have warned about Mindfulness on Facebook since 2011 (and my first website article was also then). It is in the business world, schools, health care, and the church. It may not always use the term "mindfulness." It is not about being "mindful" in the normal sense. It is not for relaxation, anxiety, normal meditation (as in biblical meditation), or to help focus the mind. Also, many of its claims were shown to be based on bad data due to faulty methodology (see the book "The Buddha Pill," which I have read).
Mindfulness is from Buddhism. I practiced it for 12 years as a New Ager when I got involved with Zen Buddhism. The purpose is to cultivate detachment from the mind and the self so that you can escape rebirth by no longer being attached to this reality, which is a construct (as is the self). Mindfulness is really mind conditioning.
Recently, I posted an article about a study which showed that Mindfulness produced altered states of mind up to a year later. That is the state most will go into (like a light hypnotic state) if they do it according to how it is normally taught.
In this area where I live, some parents discovered that their seven year old son was being exposed to mindfulness practices in school last year when he was in the first grade. The father found this out when he asked his son to calm down or quiet down. The first grader sat down on the floor and went into what appeared to be a a Lotus position with his hands up and fingers touching. The parents talked to the teacher who, of course, didn't understand why they did not want this used on their son.
I attended at least 10 years ago a gathering for teachers and parents in a large high school in this county about Mindfulness. A well known teacher of Buddhist meditation in this area, Tara Brach, was the main speaker and she led the audience into a brief Mindfulness exercise (my friend and I who attended did not participate). Then Ohio Congressman Tim Ryan, who is an adherent of Mindfulness and wrote "A Mindful Nation," spoke. He was able to get Mindfulness into several school districts in Ohio.
The school did introduce Mindfulness as did other schools in the area. Mindfulness and other Eastern or New Age practices are often introduced under the rubrick of "Wellness," which is another reason I warn about that word. And the Mindfulness programs usually have another name or simply be incoporated into physical education, a health class, or as part of the day at the elementary level.

Sorry so long since my last video. Things have been challenging for me lately with no time alone to do filming. But I did have a couple more seizures recently, one of which my husband actually caught on video. Hoping to post that soon.
