Alpha-Gal Product Awareness

This is astounding. People with alpha-gal (AG) can have a reaction to so many things we never would think of. Use this only as a reference and know that pig and sheep and other mammals have about the same pic but beef is used the most. This may be the biggest plague to mankind food based, because of the masses of uses of mammal.

Everything but the Moo

If you have had reactions, brain fog, triggers, and cannot figure them out, pay attention to this list. I just figured out I was in a vicious circle because my charcoal brand has magnesium stearate and stearic acid (neither veg based); the charcoal works superbly on a reaction but then hours later in the night I had issues from the ingredients setting in. Then, I discovered the vitamin D in the Emergen-C Immune Plus powder (from cholecalciferol), and my glandular was bovine. So, I had a week of circling and because of lack of sleep from it all, was becoming worse. 

I read a post from this group Monday and all of this became clear. I stopped the supplements I had just started a week before, and took regular Emergen-C without D, and have new vegan charcoal on the way.  Sheesh! Thanks to this group and the Savior for all the answers just when we need them! I am continuing to search for a way out of this. Think positive. Do not fear. Stay prepared. Find alternatives. Keep moving forward.

Weeds…the Continuing Series…(and video)

More weed lessons:

  • Weeding on your own gets a lot. Weeding with another gets double or more. Weeding with a team gets most or all.  Weeding on your own takes time; Weeding with another, or a team, takes much less time than on your own. Weeding on your own, depending on your circumstances, can be pretty thorough; Weeding with another can be much more complete.  There is a method to weeding that takes full focus.  Weeding is painstaking at times, and having help will take some of the load off. If there is a team, each member can be put into a particular task area; each area will be able to perform with more energy and detail. With weeding on your own, you can end up weeding with less detail because you have the entire garden to tackle.  Weeding, whether on your own or with help, should be performed with great care, with the goal of completeness; there needs to be a regard to every detail, not superficial or partial.
  • There is a side to weeding that can be unwelcome or unpleasant, yet it has to be done. When you weed thoroughly, and the area looks clear, there is a hidden seed, unseen, that will show itself days later. It is a nuisance. It is utterly, downright maddening sometimes. We must never leave it unattended, or forget to check on it.  The grass and the weeds will always be there, in the soil, in the air, outside the fence, or in the corner, and they will come back, or new ones will grow in the place they were pulled.

Weeds…the Process

I have made a few videos on my Natural Helping Hands Facebook page on the subject of weeds. (click on the titles to view them)

I am developing a book with this subject as the theme. I am developing this from the perspective of food allergies, namely the one I have “alpha gal.” If you have followed my blogs and my videos you have learned much about alpha gal already. If you do some research in my blog posts and my Facebook pages, you will find the best resources, truths, about alpha gal. I have been learning how to deal with food allergies like never before. I have never been allergic to anything in my entire life, except kerosene. This has rocked my world! I now understand to the bottom of my soul how this all feels, the risks it involves, the minute by minute care it takes, and the constant battle of risk behind every bite of food we take in.

I intend to write everything that has been messaged to me from the Father of all creation on the subject of weeds in hopes to give you a perspective on what I have come to coin as a nickname for “alpha gal” (mammal food allergy): a weed.

Weeds and wildflowers can be found just about anywhere. While some weeds are well worth the trouble of removal, others are actually attractive and useful.

Weeds are simply plants growing in the wrong place. Some wildflowers are nothing more than weeds while others provide crucial sustenance to wildlife.

There are two types of weeds—annuals and perennials. Annual weeds grow faster, typically spreading by seed and die out within a year. Perennial weeds are more difficult to control, as these weeds usually have extensive root systems that can cover large areas. They also come back every year.

Look for new blog posts to learn all the lessons I have learned from weeding in my garden, and how it is related to food allergies like alpha gal. In this process, we will find a way to “weed” the weed of food allergy out of the body for good, creating a way to eat the foods we so long to have again. Come with me on my journey. Find empowerment in your journey. If we have this a while longer or if we find ways to come out of it, please share those with me in your feedback to these posts. Please share this with your friends and family.  Together we will grow stronger no matter what ails us.

I am Writing a Book!!!

The past year my life has changed so much my head spins. I am not alone. Overnight, 70 percent of my diet and the foods I loved were no longer something I could enjoy. I have some things to say, to vent, to teach, and to search out. I have a story that is one among thousands. I am on a mission to find a cure, to find a way to combat this and drive it out of me. The thing that rocked my world: alpha-gal mammal allergy! It is mind boggling! I have had menopause food sensitivities, hormone food sensitivities, and more, but nothing like this nasty thing.

I am writing a book to help those with food allergies and sensitivities find healing and positivities in what they can eat. I am writing a book to let others know they are not alone. I am writing a book to bring to light something that we think cannot be dealt with. I am writing a book to drive home the message to restaurants, activity coordinators, friends, and family members to be aware and make options for these people. Life is tough when we cannot eat anything and have to ask about the ingredients everywhere we go or bring our own food everywhere; it is humiliating, embarrassing, maddening, and exhausting. I have stories of establishments (will be named in my book), who went out of their way to create a menu item for me because I chose to ask! The more I ask the more I find that people will make something work for me. I have been humbled in my frustrations.

I am writing a book to shove the fears out and pull in our internal strengths. I am writing a book to show the Father of all does have our best interest and will make a way for us when we act on His core voice, for it is His voice that has given me life where I thought I had lost and had no way out.

I AM WRITING A BOOK. Follow my blogs and teachings and updates.

By the way. I am using all my modalities and knowledge and connections to find this cure for Alpha-gal mammal allergy. Explore my web page for what I do. Also, watch for Pinterest to see the cookbook I am beginning and the video blogs I am beginning to make on this very “sensitive” (pun intended) subject. 🙂

Live well, Be well, Listen to your intuition.
