Megadosing vitamins

As promised in my last post, I'm going to talk a little about megadosing with vitamins, particularly with vitamin C. I was recently diagnosed with breast cancer and I'm determined to beat it-on my terms. I'm not going to use that old destructive go-to chemotherapy or radiation. I found out about megadosing with nutrients and how a positive plant-based diet (as much as possible) and vitamins (especially vitamin C) can make a person healthy and help stave off diseases and health problems. I began the other day megadosing my vitamin C, 15,000 mg a day after dinner; it's recommended to take 2,000 mg at a time every 6 minutes or so, rinse my mouth with water, and eat a little something like a piece of bread or a cracker to help keep the acid from settling in my teeth. I'll move to 30,000 next week when my bag of ascorbic acid arrives and I can mix some powder in juice instead of taking the pills. I go to see my oncologist for the first time next week so we'll see what she says about nutrient therapy. Either way, this is what I'm doing and we'll check on the mammogram at the end of July and see how it works. My quote: "The dream can work with team work." Unknown

Vacation time!

I haven't been around for a couple of weeks because I was out of town visiting family on my short summer break as a teacher. Back this week getting ready to start teaching summer school next week! I've also been dealing with a recent diagnosis of breast cancer. I'm not worried because I know my God is greater than anything Satan can throw at me. I did some research that I will go more into in the next post. I had a great time spending about several days with my daughter and her family and then on to spend a few days with my mom. Looking forward to moving later this summer just a little closer, hoping in the next year or so to move a lot closer when I'm ready to buy a house. For my quote of the day: "There are three kinds of people in the world. The first are those that make things happen; those that watch things happen; and those that wonder what the heck happened!"

Hospitality

I came across a quote today that got me thinking about how true it is. I normally do the quote of the day at the end of my post but I'm going to do it first today because then you can relate to what I'm saying. "Some people make you feel right at home, others make you wish you were." The author is unknown but it reminded me of the importance of hospitality. When you have friends or family over to visit, it is important to make sure they feel welcome. A clean house, fresh cold (or hot!) drinks, snacks. These go a long way to making people feel comfortable and like you really wanted them to be there. You put in time to prepare for their visit. This is how you would want to feel so go the extra mile and bring the art of hospitality back.

Thank A Vet!

Yesterday was the 75th anniversary of D-Day, and for those that aren't aware of what it really is, it is an awareness of the Battle of Normandy, when the Allied Forces of Britain, America, Canada, and France attacked the German forces on the coast of Normandy, France. They gained victory and it became a turning point for World War II in Europe. So, say thanks to a vet for all they've done and continue to do for our freedom and the freedom of others!

Summer is here!

If the weather is any clue, summer is here! At least in Southern California. Temperatures have been in the 90's and 100's all week. Hopefully, it's not a trend that is going to last all summer. My favorite summer temp is about 75. If it could stay at that temp, I would be very happy:) At least summer means more outdoor time in the evening because of longer daylight hours, and that means more family time outside (at least on cooler days!) and trips to the beach and the lake. Trips to the mountains are a must; and it will be cooler. What is your idea of a great summer vacation? Today's quote: "Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out."

End of Year Trips

Graduations, parties, and the end-of-the-year trips, all coming together in June and making it a very busy month! Most high schools have had their graduations by now, and 8th grade graduations are coming up in the next couple of weeks. Schools are having their senior and 8th grade end-of-the-year trips (I chaperoned our 8th graders to Magic Mountain last Friday!)and then comes summer school for some and preparation for college for others. Of course, there are those that are going right into career tracks and may have already been working at the job of their choice. There are so many different choices for young people that we are only limited by our imagination. The whole world is in front of you-go explore and make a positive difference in it!
