Day 5

 This past week my husband had what we think were blood clots in his left leg. After doing all the research we could, we decided that the Thrombophlebitis wasn't a DVT but most likely superficial. We knew that the most a Dr. would do was put him on blood thinners and tell him to 'take it easy'. We decided to try a more holistic route. Thankfully, after 5 days it appears to be working. The swelling seems to be receding and the 'hard' veins have dissipated. 
We are having him take a mixture of herbs and vitamins, juice a lot of fresh veggies, and drinking the lemon juice with baking soda concoction. All with great success.

We are looking at these circumstances with gratitude. The good that came from his pain: a chance to see just how sedentary he really is, a wake up call to how much of our food consumption was processed, the opportunity to trust in using some 'common sense'.


Thankfully, my 'go to' book Prescription for Nutritional Healing gives a clear breakdown of symptoms that allow for the evaluation between self care and the need for medical help and assistance. The information about the lemon drink came after doing a bit of research


For many, stress drives the need to munch. For me it is the final release from stress that gives me the munchies. Today I feel munchy!
It is only noon and I have wanted to scarf down just about anything on my counter. Thankfully there is little on it right now but fruit.
