This message is one I need to share here. It is a great low impact, total body workout, but ALSO a superb message all the way through about widows and widowers.
An article from Got Questions, said, “widows are often grouped with vulnerable members of society such as the fatherless, aliens, and the poor (Deuteronomy 14:29; 16:11; 24:20; 26:12). The Bible says widows are to be treated with honor and compassion and offered protection so that no one takes advantage of them.” The article goes on to say, “God recognized the widow’s plight and rose to her defense: “A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in his holy dwelling” (Psalm 68:5). A person who denied justice to a widow was cursed by God: “Cursed is anyone who withholds justice from the foreigner, the fatherless or the widow” (Deuteronomy 27:19). Laws and special provisions were put in place to safeguard widows against neglect and abuse.”
Jesus condemned the Pharisees for their ill-treatment of widows (Mark 12:40).
widows and widowers can be young, or older. REMEMBER THAT. They all need the same care.
Stay connected. Call, text, message, often.
Say you are sorry for our loss.
Call and ask specifically, “Can we go for a walk together?” “Would you like me to take the kids to the park?”
Refer to spouse’s acts or words – serious or humorous.
Invite them to anything, as if they were not widows/widowers. Include them in your activities just as you did before the spouse was no longer there.
These genes multiply to trillions upon trillions as organs grow and humans develop.
Genes: 65% are the same as a banana, 75% are the same as a fruit fly, 80% are the same as a mouse, 99% are the same as a chimpanzee. We are human, not animal. We have a percent that is only human, setting us apart from all life forms.
96% of all elements in the body are Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, and Nitrogen. 4 % are all the other elements. All are important blocks to our body.
What does this have to do with stress and anxiety? Before our birth (constitution), our conception day, while we are in the womb, our birth, place of birth, and after birth (condition) play a part in our daily lives. Stress and anxiety can be from imbalances of elements, trauma, circumstances, food, environment, and more.
Everything that occurs in our lives is embedded in our fascia; imprints of trauma in life never go away, but it can be turned around/changed.
Join us as we take on this huge subject, break it down into intricate parts, and tune into bio individuality.
Live Stream, Rumble, each Thursday at 10 am. It will be recorded as well. WE will be in the series of stress and anxiety for the next 6 weeks or more. Series episodes will include: nutritional influences in connection to emotional eating, dehydration, maternal caregivers and general caregivers, navigating relationships, and physical manifestations such as allergic reactions, panic attacks, and mood disorders.
I am sharing an article I received from a gardening planning newsletter. Check it out. Utilize the information. DIG IN AND CREATE. Happy gardening. Jeana
Do you ever get overwhelmed with all the decisions that need to be made in your garden? They seem endless.
And then there are the decisions around what to buy. What supplies do you really need for your garden? Maybe you have questions similar to most of us…
what organic pest control methods work?
what fertilizer do I use?
what tools do I really need?
what irrigation method should I use?
I remember asking all of those questions when I started gardening, and back then I had no one to ask. Of course, my mom gave me a bottle of Sevin dust and I used it because I didn’t know what I know now.
That’s just one example. I really had no clue what I needed and what I didn’t. Unless you have someone beside you giving you advice, you never know.
Because over the years I found so many people asking me the same questions I wondered as a first-time gardener, I decided to make a list of my favorite gardening resources, from books to tools and beyond.
If you’re wondering what gardening books are good for beginners, or what organic fertilizer you should choose, or what tools are must-haves, I’ve created collections on Amazon with links to my favorites.
Click on over to discover:
My Favorite Gardening Books for Beginners (My own book, Vegetable Gardening for Beginners, is included in this list, but there are so many other great ones here, too, many whose authors I’ve interviewed on the podcast.)
Hopefully these supplies will get you started in knowing what you might need (and not need) in your garden. If you’re looking for a tool or resource I haven’t mentioned, let me know and I’ll give you my thoughts.
Manifestations take hold by graveling with our hearts and minds. They attack our thresholds and tear down our ability to let go. We build expectations in everything. Expectations lead to distress in body, mind and soul. Expectations lead to “unforgivingness” with others, self, situations, and things. (note: unforgivingness is NOT just with humans) Unforgiveness (or unforgivingness) leads to stress and anxiety of all levels. Unforgiveness is poison. The way to release stress and anxiety is to get rid of the toxins creating it, one at at time, pulling them out like weeding a garden. Forgiveness, releasing, and serving heals the heart (quite literally) and gives your health back.
(Col. 3:13). As the old hymn says, “Nothing between my soul and the Savior, so that His blessed face may be seen. Nothing preventing the least of His favor; keep the way clear! Let nothing between.”
I am writing a book on this subject: Weeds. Commit to pulling one weed a day. I made a commitment to be in my physical garden every day. I see more fruit than weeds with this approach. When this is applied to the body, mind and soul, stress and anxiety decrease greatly. When stress and anxiety decrease, the body heals from the inside out, heals the organs, heals the brain, heals the nerves, heals the bones..you see where I am going with this.
Joy is not happiness. Happiness is circumstantial. Joy is lasting, constant, settled, and not affected by the “outside” distractions. We have to roll up our sleeves, join the adventure, and take care of our garden.
We tend to avoid and resist all suffering at all costs. We demand to bring our expectations to reality through various means. However, there IS redemption and value in pain, illness, or any experience that isn’t what we have envisioned for ourselves. Escaping from discomfort, or helping others do so, will never be successful. All of us are frail, going about life’s journey, breakable.

Prevention and Treatment of Illness During Flu Season
I would like to share some things with everyone that may help in this season of sickness. I want to stress that the “swine flu” and other similar viruses have been around before in this country, so this is not a new thing for the human race as it has been portrayed to be. The Bible says “be not afraid”, and “seek knowledge” and other statements that should lead us to take the time to research all aspects of what is going on around us. For your convenience, I have listed resources and books that are a few of the most reliable I have found in my lifetime. I encourage you all to use these resources as a springboard, and a foundation, to build your knowledge of prevention and the things Yahweh our God has created for us to use in times like these. I always tell people to ask for His direction and hand in the stuff used, because He knows what it is and how it works and will make it work to its best.

REQUEST
I request your reviews. Would you please take a couple minutes to give me a review on this link? It will be greatly appreciated and keep me on the top of the search engine for my area. IT really is quick and easy—noting details of what I have done for you helps the searchers find what they are looking for and gives them hope.
I hope you are all doing well, and walking through disturbances of life with purpose and clarity. If you are struggling, please contact me or someone who can help. Ask God to give you clarity. Listen for the first response when you ask, and that is the one to go for; the others are going to be side tracks and voices overriding the first one.
Good info to keep in mind when you feel you have been through all the options. I want to introduce you to Hyperbaric. I have used this place to rid Lyme, and build my structural issues back to strong again. I have used it to rid my mind of the junk, rid my body of the toxins creating junk, and clean out my brain. I have found that it built many things I had no idea it would, such as released my hormone pain, released old injury lock ups, released blocks in the emotions and signals from the brain, and more. I have continued to take in oxygen with chlorophyl and oxygen foods, to stay on the mend, but I will revisit the chamber ever now and then for a management session protocol. This Oxygen is the key to ridding the body of the toxins from the virus as well. I will put that link below as well so you can read for yourself, but I know for a fact that oxygen rids the junk creating residual long haul covid, and other virus residual. Keep this in mind when looking for the healing to your after virus issues. see some articles below and links for information. https://www.facebook.com/oxygen8hyperbarics/
The MOLD Connection to Chronic Illness
An article in Psychology Today by Judy Tsafrir, M.D. notes that mold toxicity is often misdiagnosed as psychiatric conditions such as depression, anxiety, brain fog, insomnia, and attention problems. Some may also receive a diagnosis of chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, mast cell activation disorder, or irritable bowel, when mold toxicity is the ultimate condition.
Dr. Joseph Brewer, MD, is an infectious disease specialist with a special interest in chronic fatigue syndrome, Lyme disease, and HIV/AIDS. He published a paper in 2013 looking at 112 chronic fatigue patients that he tested for mycotoxins in the urine. Of those 112 patients, 104 tested positive for a least one mycotoxin, with 30 percent being positive for multiple mycotoxins.
If you have suffered from one of these medical conditions but have not received relief from standard treatments, MOLD may be an underlying cause of your symptoms. Hyperbaric oxygen, or HBOT, is able to halt the growth of mycotoxins and help the body eliminate these toxins, allowing you to finally find a treatment method that works for the chronic conditions!
At Oxygen8, there’s nothing we love more than seeing hyperbarics working and changing lives. We are sharing (with permission) the amazing transformation we have seen in one of our clients with long haulers syndrome after having Covid. This young man had a mild case of Covid in November of 2020. He recovered well initially, but soon developed debilitating symptoms of intense headaches, dizziness, shortness of breath, heart palpitations, brain fog, fatigue, insomnia, inability to control body temperature and many other symptoms. After seeing three neurologists, a cardiologist, going through many tests, ER visits, a hospital stay and 10 different medications with no relief, he found hyperbaric oxygen therapy. 13 months of constant headaches, and his headache was gone after the first session! After the next session, dizziness had faded and as he continued a few more sessions, all of his symptoms were going away! He is now able to think clearly, play all sports and perform like a champ! What a wonderful testimony to the power of oxygen and pressure! His story is just one of many we have seen in our clinic who have had major relief of post-covid symptoms!
With all that said, I will plug in biofeedback: I am a biofeedback specialist. I have used the biofeedback to do many of the things stated above as well by using the signals the body already generates (light and sound), and re-establishing them to the strength the body needs them. The body is a great creation, created to heal, and when we give it what it needs, it will heal itself. Biofeedback is stress management, and a great way to consistently keep your body stable. https://www.naturalhelp.net/services/biofeedback/

I was cleaning, and while sweeping the floor I had a strange thought. I visioned a person doing my cleaning. That person was deep cleaning my house during the spring cleaning time of year, that being now. I then had the vision of myself cleaning, deep cleaning. After this vision, I realized the meaning. This time of year is the beginning of the year, and tonight will be the new moon, and the first day of the first month of the year in creation. Spring is a time of cleansing. The earth shows the cleansing herbs growing, the new buds everywhere, the green ears of the vegetables and grains, and the rains. This time of year, especially the Passover in 14 days from the new moon, is a time of cleansing our insides spiritually, emotionally, and physically. It is a time to reflect on our year and realize our growth, and the power of the Messiah to intercede in the forgiving of our trespasses. If we “hire” someone else to clean our homes, we miss out on knowing what we leave behind, and never learn to have better habits of cleanliness. If we expect the pastor, friend, or counselor to fix our issues and tell us what to do, we will never see it for what it really is. If we take the time to weed the innermost parts of our heart, mind and soul, we will become aware of the crumbs in places we never knew. We can free ourselves of chains, overcome fear, conquer anxiety, and heal our bodies of impurities. The only one that can do this best is you. It is hard work, there is pain, and you will not like what you find, but the rewards are far more plentiful. This is the time of year to set goals, and new year confirmations. NOW.
I will give you a few examples of things can do now that will absolutely change your life, and I mean for real, If you set your mind to them for the long haul.
Use “I require” instead of “I need”. The word need projects lack. If we are in the right mind set, we have no lack, only requirements. Clear the channel for only the Creator and you.
Use “inspiration” instead of “intention”. The word intension projects a sense of tension. Clear the channel for only inspired words, actions, and thoughts.
Keep the thought that all is well. There is nothing to “protect”. We are aware, safe, prepared, and educated. Keep the channel open for the messenger to relay the message we need when we need it, and the knowledge pop out when the moment lends itself. I have experience this personally as I allow for the knowing to be there when I need it. I continue to learn.
What is your word for the moment? Look at these words. Make chart for yourself using these or your unique words and phrases. “stop and smell the roses”, “nothing matters more than the present moment”, “begin now…and now…and now”, “never give up”. There are so many things you can put on the chart. Keep it minimal, but enough that you are satisfied with the unique words and phrases that will help you each day connect with the moment, and get unstuck from the “yesterday” or “last week”.
Pray and ask. Visualize your moments. Meditate and listen. Act and move. Fear not.
Thanks to Dr. David L. Watts (Founder and Director of Research, Trace Elements Inc.) our Trace Elements Inc. hair analyses not only reveal your current metabolism but equally important, they also reveal your metabolic synchronization.
To explain, your nervous systems must be synchronized with their corresponding endocrine glands. For example, your parasympathetic nervous system (slow) may be dominant but you may have sympathetic endocrine glands (fast) that are dominant at the same time. This reveals that your metabolism is not synchronized and that you do not have a “true” fast or slow metabolism.
This is important information to determine whether you are truly a slow metabolism, fast metabolism, or a metabolism that is out of sync. Remember, each system produces different hormones that have opposing effects throughout the mind and body. As such, each metabolism must be addressed differently.
Dr. Watts established eight metabolic sub-types for the Trace Elements Inc. hair analyses that help determine your metabolism and more importantly, your metabolic synchronization. Keep in mind; individual mineral levels, significant mineral ratios, and toxic elements help derive these sub-types.
The following sub-types are very helpful in determining neurological and endocrine imbalances – metabolic synchronization.
Sub-types for a slow metabolism (para-sympathetic neuroendocrine system dominance) include:
Slow 1 – indicates a slow metabolism with low thyroid and adrenal production (synchronized)
Slow 2 – indicates a slow metabolism with adrenal dominance (out of sync)
Slow 3 – indicates a slow metabolism with thyroid dominance (out of sync)
Slow 4 – indicates a slow metabolism with thyroid and adrenal dominance (out of sync)
Sub-types for a fast metabolism (sympathetic neuroendocrine system dominance) include:
Fast 1 – indicates a fast metabolism with thyroid and adrenal dominance (synchronized)
Fast 2 – indicates a fast metabolism with adrenal dominance and low thyroid (out of sync)
Fast 3 – indicates a fast metabolism with thyroid dominance and low adrenal (out of sync)
Fast 4 – indicates a fast metabolism with low thyroid and adrenal activity (out of sync)
For more information: Utilization of HTMA for Metabolic Typing. Trace Elements Inc., TEI Newsletter, Volume 3 Sept/October 1989, Number 4
Which metabolic sub-type is best?
A typical question during a consultation is which metabolic type or sub-type is best. The Slow 1 or Fast 1 sub-type is actually best. Best is a bit misleading but in this context, it simply means your dominant neuroendocrine system (nervous system and corresponding endocrine glands) is metabolically synchronized. In essence, this provides a much truer picture of your current metabolism. However, as revealed by the complete nutritional/toxic element pattern, a Slow 1 may be too slow and a Fast 1 may be too fast.
In every instance, it is a matter of increasing or decreasing specific nutrients to achieve a synchronized and more dynamically balanced metabolism. This is accomplished primarily through specific foods and secondarily through a specific dietary supplement program that augments the foods.
Understanding your true metabolism is important and confirms the need too accurately test your metabolism. As you can see, each sub-type would require a slightly different nutritional approach to either shift your metabolism or synchronize your metabolism.
Note: Over 80% of our analyses results reveal most people are a slow metabolic type and includes the 1-4 sub-types.
I utilize reflexology in my practice. The following article will explain what this is and how it can benefit you. I have worked with this modality for over 20 years. I have seen many wonderful results from reflexology alone. Jeana Natural Helping Hands
Some say that the best part of getting a pedicure is the foot massage.
Yet it pales in comparison to a reflexology session, where a reflexologist applies specific techniques to the feet, hands, face and ears to optimize your health and well-being.
Reflexology boasts an array of health benefits. “Reflexology is beneficial for so many conditions,” says Laura Norman, founder of Laura Norman Holistic Reflexology and a leading international expert on reflexology, practicing in Delray Beach and New York City.
“Due to the concentration of thousands of nerves in the feet, hands, face and ears, reflexology is an effective way to induce relaxation in one’s body, mind and spirit. When you’re relaxed, your body can find its natural balance. Circulation improves, the immune system gets stronger and aches and pains throughout the body melt away.”
Reflexologists also address concerns unique to women like PMS, fertility, pregnancy and menopause. “People tell me they sleep better since their mind is at peace,” says Norman. “They wake up restored, refreshed and full of energy, which sharpens their focus and helps them get more done in a day.”
What to Expect
During your visit, your reflexologist will ask about your health history and goals to understand how they can best support you. Fully dressed, you’ll remove your shoes and socks and lie on a table in a dimly lit room. “The ambiance is cozy and the reflexology is deeply soothing,” says Norman. “People often fall asleep while we work on them.”
Your reflexologist will apply moderate pressure to reflex areas on your feet, hands, face and ears, which correspond to different parts of your body. The frequency of your visits depends on what issues you’re addressing. “Results are cumulative. The more regularly you go, the better the impact,” says Norman. “Consistency brings optimum results.”
Reflexology is safe and effective. “If you have any serious medical conditions, check with your physician before your session,” says Norman. Reflexology is complementary to traditional medical care and also helpful for preventative care. Rather than treating specific illnesses, reflexologists supercharge your body’s natural healing abilities.
Bottom line, reflexology’s benefits are immense. “It helps my clients and myself relax so much,” says Norman. “You’ll feel wonderful all over and your whole being will thank you.”

Alpha-Gal,histamine,allergies, food sensitivities, product sensitivities, fume sensitivities, and this list can go on. I suggest you go back and read the posts I have written on these subjects. I will explain the possible core of why these things happen and my personal protocol.
The subject is very sensitive, as these things change our lives, and the lives of everyone around us. The subject is for enlightenment, encouragement, empowerment and hope. The process I lay out can create long-lasting options, easy to tweak and change as the body changes and improves.
Enzymes are the components that keep us alive. without them we would not live. The best book on this subject is Enzyme Nutrition, the food enzyme concept. I suggest you read this book.
A little background
June 2016 I had a tick bite on my thigh; it bothered me for a couple weeks. In February 2017, I had logged more and more reactions to beef and mammal products; these included fumes, live animals, and body fluids from my spouse if he ate mammal meat. By April 2017 officially tested for AG mammal allergy.
From August 2018-October 2018, I had a healing of AG and lyme; this included 40 days of oxygen hyperbaric therapy, eating super clean, and anointing. The months of October 2018 to September 2020, I had other issues came to surface unrelated to AG; these included higher reactions to bug bites and stings, non-mammal food issues, and hormone changes. Dairy and other mammal products were safe for me in these months. At the time, I kept mammal meats out of my diet; overcoming the fear of eating mammal meats is tough.
September 3, 2020, I tried SAAT for AG because the test showed it still in my system. Oct 2020, I broke out in hives all over my body. After a week, I figured out the hives were high histamine, mast cell-related and monthly cycle related (perimenopausal). I feel strongly I had a reverse reaction to the acupuncture triggering my histamine release and the mast cell complication. Acupuncture and SAST is not bad; for many people, it can create a new kind of monster in the system. I went in for the SAAT histamine and mast cell needles mid-November 2020; this was a 28 day program. I never had improvement.
NOW
I decided to do research that was solid with decades of backing. and find a sustainable solution.
The gut is hit hardest by AG, lyme and the histamines. Building the gut was crucial. I know the basic process of gut building kept me from having the severe symptoms that many have; living a very healthy, organic life helps greatly in these situations. From all my research into Lyme over the years I knew there was a connection to AG. The best resource for Lyme is Buhner. AG symptoms are in several of the Lyme and Lyme coinfections. I believe AG at its core is a histamine/lyme co-infection issue, due to the sugar protein it comes in on from the tick. I have written on this in my past blogs.
Moving on
Enzymes and adrenal balance are at the core of AG and lyme takes hold, becomes serious, or not. I decided to run full force. I did not want to live with this any longer. The first step was balancing the system.
Hair mineral analysis is a test I use with my clients to check the mineral and nutritional balances in the body. Using diet and nutritional support to provide essential compounds for healthy function can be foundational to a good treatment plan. Making sure that the balances are in check ensures the body will function at its full potential. With AG, minerals will deplete very rapidly. Part of mineral supplementation is actual adrenal (bovine) enzymes; with AG bovine is a NO. Using vegan adrenal supplement, minerals and vegan digestive enzymes begins the process of restoration. Quercetin, NAC, Probiotic, and digestive enzymes is the key to calming the histamines symptoms associated with AG. After 1-3 months, the next step can begin.
Transition to DAO enzymes continues the path of calming the histamines and mast cells. I used one a day for a week. I added one per day every few days until I got to two capsule three times a day; these are taken at every meal. I continued to take the list in the previous paragraph. After a month on DAO I began to add the actual bovine supplement for adrenal support, replacing the vegan version. The supplements I take are from the lab I use for the mineral analysis. They are made to be individually matched. Building the minerals, calming the histamines and adding the enzymes back into a depleted body feels so good. The enzymes Then comes the fun step.
I began to pick one histamine or mammal product a day, adding it back into my diet. It was amazing how it all came together. In the Enzyme Nutrition book, healing issues of this nature is all about building slow and steady. He describes how to take in small portions, wait a few days, repeat. Each person must take the path as their body leads them. I have over done it, cut back, and keep on moving forward at the pace needed. If I have had a small reaction, I just take extra Quercetin or NAC and Oxygen. OH! Oxygen is super key to all of this; let’s say a bit about that.
Chlorophyll (Chloroxygen) has been a daily liquid since I was diagnosed with AG and lyme. Take this daily for sure! Oxygen wipes lyme out, and a lot of other bad things. Read my oxygen article.
The best part is taking the first bite of meat. I took that first bite after four years. It was small and tasted so good. A couple days later I took another bite. All the while, I continue to take the enzymes, minerals, and DAO (beef) and lists in previous paragraphs, three times a day with meals. I am still in the process, taking small steps. It will be lasting and it will work better than any other way. Nutrition, gut health, stress management are important, but there is one more.
Yahweh was the one who gave me all the guidance and all the resources. I never did any of this on my own. Fear is a liar. AG can be done away with inside our bodies. You do not have to live with this. Now take action 🙂
