No Need to Put Dog Under to Clean Teeth!

7/16/2014

 
PictureLOOK MOM, NO MORE TARTAR! :)
YAY!  I'm so glad to have found some products that will help my dog's teeth get cleaned without having to put him 'under'.

A few months back I noticed that our older dog's teeth had started to become yellow, especially at the gum line.

There was even some heavy looking tartar buildup on a few of the back molar teeth.


I was
very fearful of having to take him to the 'Vet' where he would be put under by gas or injection for a cleaning.

It was also very expensive, but it was more the procedure our dog would have to go through that made me apprehensive.

So, I put it off for a while to do some research on other available options.



First, I purchased a 'finger' brush made for dogs as a type of toothbrush, but he didn't care for that at all.

Then we read about trying a 'raw'
meat bone such as beef, but while the dog really loved it, even a little upset his digestion.

The next suggestion we received was to try a rawhide chew.  He liked this too, but
caused stomach upset and constipation.


So, did some more 'digging' and found a product made by
C.E.T. called Enzymatic Oral Hygiene Chews for Dogs.

These really work, and both of our dogs love them as a once-a-day snack (unlike
the 'hateful' teeth-brushing!).

These come in different sizes for all types of dogs.  We have so far only tried the Petite Chews as our dogs are both small.


Another natural brand that we've tried is the Breath-Less Fizzy Plaque-Zapper that you just add to the dog's water.

It doesn't have any odor, color or taste - and the 'Pets Do All the Work' while just drinking their daily water!


Also available is the Breath-Less Brushless Toothpaste chew which is a tasty chewable treat
with a 'toothpaste' center.


I am SO glad and relieved to have found some things that work for our dogs, and that don't require a visit to the veterinarian.

I hope these suggestions will help other dog owners too, who don't wish for their pet to undergo a dangerous treatment.


THESE PRODUCTS WORK - AND THE PET DOES THE WORK WHILE ENJOYING A TASTY TREAT!!   : )



Perfect Depiction of How a Lower Back Injury Feels...

7/13/2014

 
Picture'CORELESS'
I saw this picture the other day, and thought it shows exactly how it feels when your lower back goes out.

This is how it felt to me, anyway when my back went out.  It's as though there's no longer any support in that area.

I went from being able to pick up decent sized weights, to not even being able to pick up my shampoo bottle.

I definitely learned how important the 'core' is to your overall strength.  My arms still had the same strength they always had, but I was unable to lift anything due to the support from the lower back being out. 


It truly feels as if 'nothing' is there except for a blank space.  But, fortunately with time, strengthening, and proper rest the area does eventually heal and 'reappear' again.  Listed below are some of the items that helped me get 'back in shape'.

Organic Cotton Sateen Sheets For MCS

7/10/2014

 
PictureComfy Organic Cotton 'Safe Haven'
Turn your bedroom into a non-toxic & chemical-free haven with Organic Cotton Sateen bedding.

If you have MCS, there should be at least one room in your home that can be your 'safe room'. 

Organic Sheets, Shams, Pillowcases, and Duvets can really help with this important goal.

My previous post on Organic Cotton Quilts and Duvet Comforters included a mention of Sateen Sheets.

I've been using Organic Cotton Sateen Sheets and Pillowcases from Lifekind for a while now, and really love them.

They wash out well from the minimal finishing chemicals used, and are super soft and silky.


I have also found that they really last a long time through many washings due to their high quality.

They cost a little more than 'regular' sheets, but they are well worth it, especially if you have MCS (like myself).

Try just an inexpensive pillowcase or boudoir sham to try them out, and start turning your room into your own organic 'spa'!

MCS Compatible Organic Cotton Sateen Quilt

7/9/2014

 
Picture
If you have MCS (Multiple Chemical Sensitivities) then you know how difficult it is to find products that will work for you.

I end up going through a lot of different products just to find the right ones that I can actually tolerate.

It can be frustrating, but also very rewarding when you find a brand that really delivers on it's promise of being non-toxic.

I recently had that experience with an Organic Cotton Sateen Quilt from Coyuchi at Sierra Trading.

I had heard about their organic products for some time, but had never tried them. 

I'm so glad I finally did!
Picture

They do tend to be a little on the expensive side, but now I would have to say that they are well worth it.

For the first time, I actually felt that I could almost use the quilt right out of the package. 

I do always wash things before using them - and usually many times - mainly to get the 'finishing' chemicals off.


But, this item only needed one washing and it was ready to go.  Coyuchi claims to use 'minimal processing' - I believe it!

The combination of the organic cotton fibers as well as the silky satin-like sateen really helps to make this product very soft.

I've also been using Lifekind's Organic Cotton Sateen Sheets and Pillow
cases for that reason with great results.


Coyuchi also offers Organic Cotton Sateen Sheet Sets and individual pieces.  You can get just a pillowcase to try it out.

For a less expensive option to the quilt, Coyuchi also offers
a Sateen Duvet Cover for use over your existing comforter.

Having MCS myself, I know how hard it can be to find good products and hope this information will be really helpful.

Extra Large Stretching and Exercise Mats

7/8/2014

 
PictureThe 6-Feet Square Manduka Pro Mat
Recently I was looking for an exercise mat that I could use in the house to do stretching exercises.

I wanted something that would give me good coverage on the floor even when laying full length and/or with arms outstretched.

The first mat I looked at was the
Manduka PRO Squared Home Practice Mat, Black.

The Manduka PRO looks like a really great mat, and I may save up for it.  If you can afford it, it's a really great investment in your home fitness.

However, at 360.00, I decided to keep searching for another option.  I found three others in my price range that were the size I had in mind (see below).

One is 6-Feet Square just like the Manduka PRO Square, but at a fraction of the price.  Another is 7ft. x 3ft. at a similar price.

Since it will be used on top of a rug, the one I opted for was the YogaRat
100% Microfiber SportLite Beach Blanket.

This is the Official Towel of the Los Angeles County Lifeguard Association. I figure if it's good enough for them...   :)

This towel measures
76 x 64 inches (6.3ft. x 5.3ft.). It's easy to store and lightweight enough to carry wherever needed.

Also doubles as a beach/picnic/poolside blanket or play mat for toddlers, and is easily machine-washable. 

  • Large enough to fit two people!
  • Super thin and lightweight yet super absorbent and fast drying!
  • Anchor pockets at all four corners can be filled with sand to keep it planted in windy conditions.
  • Takes up a fraction of the space of old-school terry towels--when toting to the beach and in the laundry.
  • Dimensions: 76 x 64 inches. Machine washable.

(MATS AVAILABLE HERE AT GREAT PRICES + 10. OFF!)

The 'Great' Bait & Switch Scam by the Food Industry - It's Literally Making Us Sick!

5/22/2014

 
PictureHEALING CANCER DVD
Knowledge is Power! 

Having an informed decision from both sides of a health issue can be very important.

This is especially true if you are facing a health crisis such as Cancer or other serious dis-ease.

There is a well-known saying that:


"If you want some things to change, you've got to change some things."
 

In a serious illness, this includes 'radically' changing your diet and lifestyle.


The DVD, Healing Cancer, puts forth a premise that illnesses such as Cancer, Heart Disease, etc. can be greatly helped by natural therapies, even including a more plant-based diet.


In this DVD it may sound as though some of the speakers are pushing a low to no meat diet as part of the treatment.

However, it's more a matter of balance, and quality of the food (grass fed beef vs. grain fed for ex.).


-- The real problem is that
the food industry has done a
BAIT & SWITCH on us! -- 



Food that has been a traditional part of our diet is no longer as it had once been.  This is true across the board, from meat and dairy to grains and produce.

Take milk as an example:
I can remember when we used to get fresh local milk delivery from a nearby dairy.  We all still buy milk thinking it's essentially the same as it was back then.

But, now the milk is all mixed together and distributed nationally. Even worse, it's mixed in with antibiotics and bovine growth hormones, etc. which may help producers, but not consumers.


Many of us have probably seen the push to buy organic milk, and even 'raw' milk (like our parents used to drink as children).

They 'survived' on this...and even thrived on it!  Raw milk still has the enzymes and all the other good stuff, IF you can get it. 

It's a similar story with the produce - GMO's & Pesticide, (if not organic), picked unripe, shipped from far away, etc.


It's a food quality issue now - what we used to call 'normal' food is now a 'specialty' item, and one pays dearly for 'Organic'.

But, it's well worth it for our health.  Especially in these days with so many illnesses that are results of 'deficiency & toxicity'.


These illnesses are so many times are then treated with very toxic and unnatural substances such as chemotherapy and other 'drugs'.


In thinking of this, I thought this saying might apply to the use of such things as chemo & radiation, as in the case of Cancer:

'How can the unnatural cure the natural?'


It's strange to think that a better diet & a non-toxic lifestyle can be an answer, but (to me) it's even stranger to think that toxic chemicals & harmful radiation could be very helpful.


Even if you choose chemotherapy and radiation, a healthy diet and lifestyle can go a long way in helping you to feel better and stay healthier through the treatments.

May God bless you, and give you good health!


"I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live...

That thou mayest love the Lord thy God, and that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he is thy life, and the length of thy days.
" 

Deuteronomy 30:19-20


Another REALLY Great Reason To Exercise

5/21/2014

 
PictureUSE IT - OR LOSE IT IN 96 HOURS!
The benefits of fitness span a wide range of health.  The body needs proper exercise.

We also need rest and recuperation: but just not for too long.  



Try not to go more than 4 days without some form of exercise and muscle training - or muscle loss will begin.

But, don't train hard every day.  You also need some 'downtime'  for your muscles to recover or strength and fitness can actually regress.



A very effective strategy would be to alternate heavier cardio or weight workouts with stretching, pilates, or deep-breathing.

Without proper recovery time, exercise and weight training can be counterproductive.  Many beneficial muscle adaptions occur during recovery.


Fatigue and decreased strength occur when the body doesn't get enough rest between weight-training sessions.

However, excessive recovery time prevents you from reaching your goals...


AFTER JUST A WEEK OF NOT TRAINING YOU CAN LOSE UP TO 10 PERCENT OF YOUR STRENGTH!!



According to American Fitness Professionals and Associates:

"After 96 hours changes associated with muscle atrophy begin."


That's only 4 days!!  If you've ever been in a cast, you've probably experienced how quickly muscle can be lost.



USE IT OR LOSE IT - TRULY DOES APPLY TO MUSCLE.


Realities of Training

According to American Fitness Professionals and Associates:

A
fter 96 hours changes associated with muscle atrophy begin.


Your training history, the weight lifted and sets performed determine how much recovery time you need.

Beginners performing a full-body workout should take one to two days of rest between each session.

BOTTOM LINE
:
Don't stop working out for too long, but do get proper rest between workouts!

Avoid the ACA Penalty: There's Still Time! Join MediShare & Avoid Being Penalized

5/8/2014

 
PictureCLICK IMAGE FOR MORE INFO
Medi-Share Is Open, In Season and Out: 

As you’ve probably heard by now, the open enrollment season for insurance under the Affordable Care Act has ended.

Fortunately for Medi-Share members, this isn’t a big deal. Unfortunately, for those who didn’t get insurance during the enrollment season, they could be facing a penalty.

However, for those who still need to meet the requirements of the Individual Mandate, they can take advantage of the special provision for members of healthcare sharing ministries!


They can STILL join Medi-Share and avoid being penalized.

- IT'S A WIN-WIN! -


 
Medi-Share is in compliance with the healthcare law
, but it's NOT subject to the requirements placed on insurance companies for things like pre-existing conditions and routine care.

This is a blessing as it keeps costs low and MediShare is not required to share in unbiblical procedures like abortion.
 
So, take the time to familiarize yourself with Medi-Share and spread the word: we’re still open for enrollment!
