I will admit, sometimes I feel like the kids are using the last thread of my patience. Fighting me over schoolwork, chores and even eating. The school year is the worst of course because there is SOO much more for them to fight me over. This year I am adding 2 littles to my group. I am a little...

Honey suckle syrup is supposedly good for strep throat. I use it for sore throats to be honest. I made it with a bit of lemon and ginger. It tastes awesome and it does soothe the throat. It is supposed to be a treatment though for strep. If there were no docs or meds available I would give that...

I did 28 quarts of green beans. Tomorrow I have to tackle peaches and then probably plums.

Never going to eat any pork from the stores anymore. The company looking to buy them has a HORRID track record as far as adding toxins into their food. No thank you.

Comfrey and I do not get along. Once upon a time a mom went to the garden to get some horseradish. She had planted some right beside her comfrey patch ( you can see where this is going to go). She harvested the root and took it inside and prepped some to eat with her bratwurst. It tasted a bit...

Ok so here is what I have so far ( many of these I have used already this year) Corn silk ( this stuff is AWESOME, no more antibiotics for UTI for me WOOT) Pine Honey ( great for sore throat and coughs) St johns wort red clover green oat straw ( if you are going through hormonal changes and you...

You need to look at longer term cycles in the weather also. Everyone around here keeps talking about we never had such hot weather or we never had so much rain. Sure we did. I have lived her all my life ( military town so that is kinda rare but we are out in the country so I am not the only one...

:yuckyuck That is too funny. We had a new preacher come to our house and what sat on the middle of the counter? A HUGE bottle of vodka with my beans in it. Didn't bother me a bit but it about made my dad have a stroke. He stuttered and stammered. My husband just picked up the bottle, shook it...

I just added my old beans from my first bottle to a bottle of rum. I was told this makes a wonderful flavoring for pounds cakes and such.

Ok So I have made vanilla extract but have any of you used the beans afterwards to make vanilla sugar? How did you do it. I have new beans arriving in the next week or so and beans about to come out of a bottle. I would like to use those beans for the vanilla sugar.

I don't eat any meat not from the butcher so thats not the cause this time. I think milk is :-( The only other thing I got sick from was chocolate maybe because of the milk in that? and corn. I mean who gets sick from corn but both times I ate it I got sick too. ( this is probably TMI but...

Pickles would be great. I ordered the water kefir grains too. Tired of tummy issues.

Right now I can eat almost nothing. Bread, cheese, fruit. I ate something at chick fil a and got sicker than a dog and my husband did too ( normally we can eat there). Thought it was just cause we were a bit overly hot that day. Same thing 2 days later with my daughter. She feels better already...

So lol I'm back on this topic. If anything tummy problems are worse and not just for me. The entire family is struggling a bit and i don't grasp why. We can eat nothing fast food at all now. Even the kids get gassy and ucky feeling on fast food so its not just that I am getting old. Is this a...

My dads have been biopsied and treated traditionally by his GP. However they continue to come back. If it were me I would give this a try. I just have little trust in doctors and big pharma and the FDA for that matter. One big sloppy, greedy, corrupt, mess.

I have been researching recipes and places that sell it. I am a bit wary of buying anything like that on ebay. I think my best bet would be to make it myself then I know what I am using. My dad gets skin cancers on his ears and has to have them taken off every year. They always come back. He has...

I am a little wary still on blacksalve but I am still studying. Lots of government and pharma sites that say its toxic and have supposed examples of where it was harmful. There are tons more that say it is helpful.

ACV is a must. I have been doing a mini stockpile because for a while there I had to drive over an hour to find somewhere that had the stuff in stock. I won't run out again. For food poisening or even most tummy issues I turn to activated charcoal. I carry it with me and if i get desperate and...

3 Jars red Clover Blossoms 1 jar clover 1 jar strawberry leaves 1 jar blackberry leaves 1 jar violet blossoms ( more for my nerves than anything, tastes so soothing) candied ginger 1 jar ginger/ lemon syrup ( was told this was great to put in your tea when you have become chilled) 1 jar corn...

I actually have been treating perimenopause and adult onset asthma with homeopathic remedies and supplements. I treat sinus issues, brochitis, allergies and arthritis also. So a little bit of everything. I am actually looking into horehound. I know that at times a doctor will be necessary but...
