Today I officially start my new BetterIngredients.com Blog - Yeah!
I was inspired to start this blog after watching the documentaries Food Inc., Forks Over Knives and Fat Sick and Nearly Dead - all in one month!
In 1988 I had Chronic Fatigue Syndrome for eight months. The regular doctors were baffled by my symptoms and trying to come up with some type of diagnosis. They were starting to say that maybe I had multiple sclerosis or cancer! Luckily I had been through several years of nursing school and I thought they were nuts! I decided to seek out a holistic doctor.
I was living in Michigan at the time. Our local health food store recommended I see Dr. Kalsa in Clawson Michigan. My new, enlightened doctor was the answer to my prayers and my introduction to the wonderful world of natural healing, nutrition and medicine. I did all the things he told me to do and I got better.
Watching those 3 food documentaries was my wake up call to change my eating habits once again. This blog - Better Ingredients is about my journey and the health and well being of my body for my journey. It's also about the people I love and what we eat and the ingredients in our food and the products we use in our day to day lives.
My daughter is going through some health issues now. Conventional medicine is telling her to take antibiotics which will destroy good bacteria she needs to get well. I have decided to go on this journey with her, to support her in getting well. She is seeing a holistic MD just like the one I saw years ago and she is seeing a traditional MD. We are meeting once a week to cook food together that will help her to get well.
This week we are making yogurt, kefir, fermented vegetables and rosemary walnuts.
Stay tuned in for more food adventures to come.
Have you ever overcome an illness using diet and or holistic medicine?
