Complementary Medicine for Cancer

Many people have now turned to complementary medicine to help with the effects of cancer and cancer treatment. This is not to say that any of them have rejected traditional medicine, just supplement it with extras like prayer and meditation, nutritional supplements, relaxation techniques and more.

My middle daughter has used those listed above with great results. Oral chelation with supplements removed the toxins that come with the chemotherapy before they could make her sick. A nutrition supplement replenished her dietary needs. Prayer and meditation relaxed her and put her in an accepting frame of mind.

Plan Your Garden

It a good time of year to plan a garden. The snow is on the ground. I'm looking forward to spring, Cabin fever is living in me. I want to be outside again.

Sound familiar. Its time to plan the garden. An activity that takes me from now to planting time. There are so many items to plan and prepare. Everyone who gardens must decide what they will plant; how and where they will buy the seeds or plants; what varieties of plant will grow the best in their soil type, How they will prepare the soil and the list goes on.

The seed catalogs are arriving. That's a good place to start. After I have determined how much room is available, a seed and plant list can be formulated. I live in an area with high clay content in the soil and it is very difficult to prepare a good seed bed. Planning is required to find the necessary tillage equipment to break up more garden land and to amend the soil with the right organic matter to get and keep the soil loose for a good seed bed.

When choosing what plants to grow in my garden, I try to plant the most nutritious plants that my family will eat. Green beans, broccoli, tomatoes, onions, and peppers are a staple in my family's garden. When time and room allow cucumbers, squash and pumpkins are also favorites.

Will I grow the tomatoes, peppers and broccoli from seed in the basement or will I buy plants at a nursery? That decision depends on the varieties of plants I decide to grow. There is great flexibility and choice in growing your own plants from seed, and you can be busy with gardening from planning to planting. The draw back is the if you have a problem with damp off or something else you will not be rewarded for your extra time and planning because you will have to settle for what you find at the nursery anyway.

Whatever you decide, if you raise a garden you will be rewarded with the best possible quality vegetables and you have control over your own chemical exposure.

Relax and Enjoy Life

Relaxation is a key component to a healthy lifestyle. I like to hunt, fish, rock hound or do any activity that can be done outside. The air is fresh, I can learn from nature, and the work day stress is dissipated. My mind is on fun things rather than focused on problems when I am relaxing.

The photo shows several fish houses on the Red River of the North in downtown Breckenridge. This photo reminds me that I must have fun too. I do not always have to work or soon my fun will be work.

My relaxation activities are more physically demanding than my work so it is important for me to keep fit. So the discomfort of strenuous physical activity does not come upon me, there are two supplements in my arsenal that relieves the pain. The zeolite with its negative charge removes the pain causing chemicals from my muscles thus reducing the pain and a healthy aging product reduces the inflammation in my back and other joints to relieve joint pain. I rely on them to help me relax by not allowing the discomfort of strenuous activity to occur.
