You see, my holistic health care plan is already designed to support the body’s own immune system. I will modify it with additional vitamin C, anti-viral herbs, and immune boosting teas and foods, along with a mask.
My own research made cannabis the first priority when it came to my health, and accessing it legally covered my second, stress reduction. Watch my local TV show on video on demand.
As we drove over his Sag Harbor bridge, I told Harvey about Jordan Haerter. Then, at the traffic circle I told him about Joey Theinert, pointing to Shelter Island, where a ferry is named for him. I poured my heart out about my memoir, my ex and my father. I told him how it was so hard to live in the Hamptons where people seem to have no idea we are at war. I told him how I cut a lot out of my memoirs.
The more I practice self-care, the more my health care plan resembles caring for a child.
An employee at the Trulieve dispensary in New Port Richey, Florida also thought that my patient number was cool. I am one of the first.
Also of note is that you can pay the Florida Department of Health for your card and renewal with a debit card

“It would be easier,” my mother replied matter-of-factly when I mentioned the option of being married to my career instead of a man this morning. Another mother figure, my ex-mother-in-law,… Read more Single on Purpose: an Unconventional Life →
I am purifying my life and limiting things such as sitting, talking, eating, people, places, plans, news, noise, negativity, driving and drama.
“We all have stories–ongoing and ever-changing–that we tell ourselves to make sense of our lives. They can help us heal and powerfully guide us through life, or just as powerfully, hold us back,” Judith Fertig

But it has a happy ending. The medicinal plant is saving thousands of lives, and harming none. In fact. There are many side benefits… Here’s my latest article for Green Flower Media.

“Think before other people think for you,” Brian Clement went on, calling the modern medical system a “con job” where people are given pharmaceutical remedies that create bigger problems in most cases.
As part of my journey toward optimal health, I have been working at releasing stored toxic memories, emotions, and relationships that are having a negative effect on my health and the quality of my life.
Combined with soft music, pillows, towels and meditation in my bathtub, my plan of one year of heavy juicing and enemas became a ritual I looked forward to, with after effects of feeling clean, inside and out.
Now that doctors have been trying to scare and bully me into poisonous and life threatening “cures,” I am recalling how the cat situation worked out.
I already knew that was not going to be my path. I do not believe in poisoning myself to get well.
But everything changed that day when I watched on my East End television set as bombs were shot off like fireworks, and he came home with talk of Iraq and anthrax vaccines. I was opposed to the series of six toxic injections, and the war, yeah that too. My opinion didn’t matter. In fact, while I watched images of world wide protests on satellite TV I was told that I was not allowed to express my opposition publicly, because I was an “officer’s wife.”
This post is not meant to be a pity party for me, although those years did take a toll. I am writing about this subject because I want to share what I know to be true about those who serve, and to remind everyone that service includes the family. I enjoyed a video about parenting challenges shared on Facebook the other night titled “People with no kids don’t know.” Today, on Veterans Day, while sympathetic to the challenges of leaving the house with a child who prefers to stay home shoeless, I think there are many more people who don’t know the extent of the experiences of many Veterans.
I am truly grateful that I experienced military life. I would have never known the motivation, stamina, professionalism, responsibility, and brotherhood that resides there.
