Almost immediately after I started taking coconut oil, both as a supplement and a little for cooking, I felt energized. The Lilacs are finally on the wane, (they bloom so briefly yet cause great havoc on my sinus and nasal passages, not to mention what it does to my weakened bronchial area.
I never had a bronchial problem in my life until I worked at a dotcom here in Dowagiac that had some interior issues; I was told (later) the formaldehyde was never completely removed from the carpeting. I coughed the entire time I worked there and have never been the same since. Then came the dotcom crash and I was ‘rescued’.
With the extra energy I have gardening and lawn maintenance is easier to do. Saturday I got the mowing, trimming, raking, watering and most of the remaining planting done. We have over a ½ acre to take care of so it’s a job.
My colon has normalized but then I’m eating lots of low-carb fiber. I eat about a handful of raisons per day; it really helps. And so far it’s not raising my bg levels, in fact I’m getting low 90 readings in the evening, and 119 in the AM, [the Dawn Phenomenon, sigh]
Oh I just have to tee you what happened today, this is so exciting, I own and maintain the freecycle here in my town, and I always offer lots of stuff to give away. I had an old horse or mule halter sitting in my garage and I offered it to anyone responding. A man I'd never seen before on the group,(I have nearly 500 members)came out to get it and we started talking farm talk. Pretty soon he asked me if I ever use any honey, I got excited and said Oh yes, is it unpasteurized? He assured me it was but it was part of the fall crop so it was pretty dark and strong tasting, I got even more excited and he gave me some, I immediatly opened and tasted it, Oh yummmy it was ambrosia! I got this wonderful and valuable honey for FREE! God is Good!

Another new thing I’m doing now is taking Mega- EFA’s a combined flax, borage, fish, olive oil, made from non-GMO seeds, free of contaminants including pesticides,herbicides, PCB's dioxins, heavey metals like mercury; that balances my omega 3-6-9 intake ratios for healthy skin, joints, hormonal balance and cardiovascular function. I’m hoping the EFA’s and neem will also help to normalize my lungs, I am doing my lung exercises as described on Thursday, May 10, 2007 entry.
