Managing RSV and Pertussis

Our family caught a virus, which went from one member to the next with a fever and cough. I didn’t get the fever, but got the cough. Soon my 6 week old started coughing too. On the third night, he wouldn’t stop crying and his cough sounded congested.

We tried suctioning out his nose, but didn’t get much at first. Mike could tell that there wasn’t liquid in his lungs. The majority of congestion or mucous was right in the throat and nose where we couldn’t reach. Mike decided to take him to the ER and suction out the mucous. There are so many cases like this where we live, that there are “suction clinics” set up in Utah InterMountain hospitals, so parents can take their child and get the mucous suctioned out quickly.

  • Yeast Infection No More-I struggled with yeast infections and Candida for years and was miserable. It can affect you negatively in so many ways! I cleansed for 3 years to get rid of my symptoms and feel like I had it under control. I wish I had "Yeast Infection No More" which would have guided me better. Linda has 240 pages of thorough information on how to get yeast back into balance. I highly recommend it!

  • Family Manifesto Inspiring Family Manifestos - I have purchased one of each of these manifestos and LOVE them! I would count it as a whole year of education if my children could internalize the amazing messages on  these manifestos! I feel they are worth every penny I spent as an investment in teaching my children values. Check it out and don't forget to look at the package deals!

  • Personal Path to Pregnancy-I really like this program for addressing fertility problems! I've reviewed others I did not like. Beth's recommendations are in line with what I know to be true regarding health and natural tools. She is clear and comprehensive while addressing common conditions such as PCOS, endometriosis, fibroids, abnormalities, miscarriage, RPL, thyroid dysfunction, and more! I strongly recommend following this program along with taking Vickie Sorensen's FemEase formula to increase fertility.

  • Mommy Without Pounds-I loved going through Michelle's comprehensive program! Learn how to feel great, loose unwanted pounds, resolve problems and safely develop washboard abs after childbirth. She even has a specific exercise program during breastfeeding, bonus charts, recipes, and more. It's fantastic!

  • Home Pregnancy Massage-Not only does she address how to use massage during each trimester to address specific problems, she even has a whole section on labor and delivery.  Bonus videos included. Wish I'd had this for my last pregnancy!

  • Nature's Amazing Ear Infection Cures - This Australian lady naturopath teaches how to use natural (easy to find) tools to strengthen and heal the body and prevent further infections. I bought this and really like it. This eBook goes into more depth than my article & it offers many good natural remedies. She has a great freebie too about natural antibiotics!

  • Prince or Princess? Plan Your Baby Program - I've known for a while that it's possible to choose the gender of a baby. I charted my own cycles for a time because I didn't want to use birth control, and the book I used mentioned it. Alicia's product outlines how to do it in easy steps. It's 94.8% successful, which is very good odds. It works. It just takes effort, know-how and good planning. If you're willing to do it, then this is a great program to follow.

  • 12 Steps to Whole Foods Course - My friend, Robyn Openshaw, aka Green Smoothie Girl, has an excellent course for becoming knowledgeable at using whole foods in the kitchen.  So if you're trying to get off a junk food diet, or need more ideas for healthy food preparation and lifestyle, I definitely recommend this.

Are You On Guard Against Colds & Sickness?

Hey! This is Jenni’s sister, Emili.  Jenni and I aren’t big believers in getting a flu shot.  You can read more about her opinion on that here.  But we both believe in doing all we can to prevent sickness and working with the tools we have.  I would like to tell you about a popular tool we use in our family, doTERRA’s OnGuard essential oil blend.


A few months ago I was in a meeting with Dr. Hill, one of the main developers and researchers on the doTERRA team, and he was explaining a study they had just completed at the University of Oklahoma.  It’s in the process of being published, but I’ve learned that it takes a long time to get through that process.  I’ll put a link to it once it does though.  For now I’ll just summarize.

Resolving Urinary Tract Infections

I ate a bunch of sugar over Thanksgiving weekend. Who can resist all the tempting pies and other treats within easy reach over these holidays? I can’t. Especially when I’m 7 1/2 months pregnant.

I’ve been feeling fine, but a couple days after I got home from our trip I found myself with very low energy. I should have been tipped off by my feelings of not caring about anything and just wanting to go back to bed.

I didn’t have the normal symptoms of burning when I went to the bathroom or the frequent need to go, but I know I am more prone to yeast and urinary tract infections when I’m pregnant. Luckily, I had an appointment with my midwife, Vickie Sorensen the same day I lost my energy. Read more…

Constipation: Eliminate It!

What health problems do you struggle with? Chances are, the root of your problem stems back to some form of constipation.

Dr. Christopher, my old-time herbalist hero, taught that constipation is the cause of every disease. Some part of the body gets constipated and causes problems which are manifested as “dis-ease.” It doesn’t have to be just the digestive tract. It can be any system of the body.

Slim & Sassy – The Fat Burning Revolution

Hey! This is Emili, Jen’s sister.  I think most of us have a couple unwanted pounds we wouldn’t mind parting with. True? I’m going to share how new Doterra products have helped me and how they can help you shed extra lbs.

 

(Please keep in mind that I am a stay-at-home Mom that has had some great weight-loss success lately, but I am not a doctor or trained health professional.  I’m just sharing what has worked for me.)

First and foremost, your body needs good food and nutrition to lose weight.  There are many fad diets, magical Read more…

Help for Endometriosis, PCOS & Other Pelvic Issues

Do you ever experience intense discomfort or cramping during your monthly cycle? Do you ever have unexplained pain or heavy bleeding from the uterus? Do you or anyone you know suffer from Endometriosis, polycystic ovaries (PCOS) or Pelvic Inflammatory Disease?

Recently I’ve been studying essential oils and how they can help with these women’s pelvic issues.
From what I’ve found, many of the same essential oils are recommended for these different issues. I’m also including information on herbal and dietary help.

Why Spend More For Quality Essential Oils?

This was one of my first questions as I learned about essential oils years ago. The first thing I noticed was there is a wide spectrum of prices for essential oils out there. You could pay $5 for one kind of oil by one brand or $100 for a bottle by another brand. What’s the difference?

I am currently taking an aromatherapy course through Dr Christopher’s School of Natural Healing, and one thing I’m learning is that the same plant can have different compounds and constituents depending upon what variety it is, where it’s grown, how it’s processed and what parts of the plant are used.

 


Usually, there is one specific part of a plant that contains essential oil of the highest medicinal value. Many producers Read more…

Unfortunately, when it got thrown at Isaac’s head, the foam slipped down so the sharp end of the PVC gouged him just Read more…

Resolving Earaches & Infections

Earaches are not difficult to resolve at home.

The most economical tool is garlic. Garlic oil can be rubbed on the bottoms of the feet, around the ear and dripped in (2 drops in each ear) at night to kill infection. Two cloves of garlic is equal in strength to an adult dose of penicillin.

Fixing A Crushed Toe

One time a good friend of ours called and informed me that while he was moving a pool table with his wife (Nicole), they had dropped one corner of it on her big toe. The toe was crushed. They didn’t think going to the ER would be all that productive and would be expensive to boot. What should they do?

I told them to come over and I started gathering remedies.
I pulled out my dependable Cuts & Bruises oil which eases pain, reduces inflammation and fights infection.

 


I grabbed some Complete Tissue ointment and Bone, Flesh & Cartilage herb blend (BF&C) for her to use in a tea for Read more…

Resolving Sore or Strep Throat

I’ve had 2 calls in the last week about sore or strep throat, so I thought I’d share my recommendations.

My throat is my barometer for the well-being of my body. When my throat starts to hurt, I know I need to cut back on heavy foods (especially after the holidays) and give my body a break.

Here are a few things I do to help my body get balanced again and fight any infections that may be starting. Read more…

Swine Flu Vaccine: Get Informed Before You Vaccinate

Read Up Before You “Go With The Flow” to get vaccinated

***Update-You’ve got to read this recent article that claims the flu vaccine is not as effective as everyone thinks. The article published by naturalnews.com is called Shock Vaccine Study Reveals Influenza Vaccines Only Prevent the Flu in 1.5 out of 100 Adults (not 60% as you’ve been told). Why are we getting any flu vaccines if they’re not effective?

I have not felt comfortable with the Swine Flu Vaccine since the beginning of the swine flu pandemic. It seems that the Read more…
