Doing the Gerbil Dance! (If you've ever seen a very happy gerbil, you'll know what I mean) God made a way for my daughter to pay for and register to take her Herbalist Certificate today! Herbalism was part of my Natural Health Practitioner training, and now she is on her way to getting her own certification! God is good!
Sometimes when I introduce myself online or in person as your Biblical Natural Health Coach, I'll tag onto the end of my short speel, "Don't worry! I won't make you go vegan!" This is because of a discussion I rarely ever see coming out of the vegan space, and I read magazines that sometimes push the vegan diet, with articles written by trainers, dieticians, nutritionists, sports coaches, and others. That discussion is the issue of bioavailability. I discuss this issue, along with sharing research papers around why certain nutrients are best obtained from meat and dairy, often red meat more than pink or white, and fish. Though this article focuses more on red meat.
I just updated this article again! It's been updated a few times now since it was first written in 2022, and additional links for further reading are given at the end of the article. Today's update was a second voice speaking up around the issue of PUFA's in the modern processed diet, but sharing how damage done can be reversed.
If you've recently read this article, scan to the end for the latest update:

When you make an update to a previously written article, then try to share that update and it becomes a small blog post in it's own right! There are two links in this article, one to the update and one to an article on my author blog about similar subject matter.
Be aware, and wherever you can, take action, for the physical, mental, emotional, and social health of you and your household!

February began with concerns around household income, everyone asking God to intervene in our finances, when a flee market in Rutland jumped off the screen at me. Ashley said sure, we could try, so I contacted the guy.
Initially, we were greeted with wary eyes from various vendors as we rolled in our trunks.
Other vendors came by to purchase cups of tea. A vendor we've been at other fairs with, saw me and got all excited we were there, saying we'd love it! Another vendor said to keep coming and sales would increase and once the market moves outside, the sales would quadruple, at least in her experience. It's quite safe to say that we were welcomed with open arms by the vendors at this fair and many were saying things like "we'll see you next week, right? You'll be here next week?" Even the organizer was saying stuff like this. Ashley's decided that yes, we will return, so now I need to confirm that with the organizer.
In background news that could have curtailed us being there, our furnace quit in the middle of the night Saturday evening!
Before this stuff happened, we'd gone to the barn on Friday, only to find out Bella had been SO concerned about coyotes going through the property, that she'd been put off her food AND her water!!! Thankfully, by Sunday evening when we returned to do chores, she had been eating again. We may have to do more perimeter walks, we'll see.
A new addition was added to our table at the flea market!

The idea of potentially doing a workshop around herbs for you and your horse, got another boost this winter.
Research out there continues to confirm what many herbalists and history nuts have known for a long time. Rosemary is a big one in this list, as is chokecherry due to having all the functions for your eye that Saffron does, minus the saffronol.
Based on what we knew in my database and the old books, as well as how Ashley’s own eye had healed from it’s inflammatory condition a month earlier, Ashley set about making medication. No way were we going to sit around and do nothing just because mainstream veterinary was more prone NOT to do anything and just let the horse go blind.
Perhaps the most encouraging study in relation to Bella’s solution, is a study regarding rats, and how rosmarinic acid dealt with their cataracts.
Between giving her herbs in her cubes, in her eye ointment, and in her eye drops, her condition has been repaired in just 3 weeks!!
History continues to show us what modern scientific research is confirming. God gave us the plants and herbs for our food and medicine.
