I plan to provide short (1000-word) blog to address these issues five times a week. When I finally figure out how to do videos (this part is all new to me), I will choose one of these blogs to turn into a video, expanding the content. Each video episode will be between 15 and 30 minutes, depending on what needs to be covered. Sometimes I will use the video to demonstrate how to make something, such as an herbal preparation. Each week I will share a preparedness skill. Each week I will also share a reflection emphasizing the One who has given us this amazing natural bounty.

My Background

A number of years ago, my husband and I moved to a community (in a mobile home park) we thought we could afford in order to retire. We were living on Social Security only, so we needed to watch every penny. But our car was a Land Rover that loved gasoline as much as I love breathing.

Our budget only allowed one trip into town a week, so we chose Sunday, because our worship is very important to us.

But no doctor visits happen on Sundays. We needed to pay off the little trailer house, however, before we could see any slack in our budget. It wasn’t an expensive house. It took only five years to pay it off, but during that time, we were extremely strapped financially. So we canceled our supplemental health insurance, hoping we wouldn’t have any major health problems until we could afford them.

I was in a bit of a panic. We weren’t young anymore. At our age, did I really believe we could count on not encountering any health problems for the next five years? There was no good answer to that question. So I did some research into alternative health.

What I found was amazing, especially when I looked into herbal health. I was already a gardener. I knew I could expand into growing herbs. I could learn how to prepare them. I could learn what parts of the plants were the most potent. And all it would cost me was seeds. Tiny budget, remember? My health concerns became my greatest asset. As I learned to conquer each concern, I wrote the information down, the attributes of the herb, its physical effect on me, plus how to grow it and prepare it into a usable form.

My Personal Experience

For example, when herbal remedies were too new for me to completely embrace, I developed a severe ear infection. I felt it blossoming inside me. The side of my face swelled up. I had a constant headache. That side of my face was hot to the touch. I even had trouble swallowing. I realized that if I waited another day, I was going to need a hospital, a bill we definitely couldn’t afford. So I chose the most potent natural antibiotic I could find – garlic. Garlic was reported to even eliminate MRSA, a hospital-born infection resistant to most drugs.

I didn’t trust garlic yet, but I took the herb as I had learned to do: one clove (crushed) every two hours for the first day, swallowed, not chewed (I didn’t want garlic breath). To my surprise, by bedtime, all symptoms had vanished. The headache quit. The swelling went down. I could swallow without difficulty. I slept peacefully.

“Wow!” I thought. “So easy! I’m cured!”

Not exactly.

As it turned out, I didn’t know as much about taking garlic as I needed. The next day, feeling so much better, I stopped taking any more. By the next day, all symptoms returned. ALL of them, So I resumed my garlic cloves every two hours that next day. Once again the symptoms disappeared.

Encouraged, the following day I took the garlic once every three hours, but just in case, decided to do so for two more days instead of just one. Still symptom free, I tried taking the cloves once every four hours, which I used for the next several days.

The process, just like most antibiotics, took about ten days. But now, YEARS later, I have not had a recurrence of the ear infection.

My Passion

I was sold on herbal medicines from that point on. I made it my goal to learn as much as I could about the uses of each one. Learning, as it has turned out, is a continuous process, but I wanted to share my discoveries with the world!

This became my passion. We can actually grow our own health! How exciting! And now I’m inviting you to share my journey with me.

My mission is to awaken as many people possible to the FACT that herbal medicine isn’t just alternative health. It’s the ORIGIN of all health. To accomplish this, I intend to shout to the world. I believe that we have been given the authority, by God Himself, to take back what the medical profession has nearly succeeded in hiding from us.

As I’ve already said, we can literally grow our own health! People who garden can literally divorce themselves from from the pharmaceutical industry. And people who can’t garden, can still take advantage of the herbal world around them.

I will show you how, in detail, with each blog and video post.
