Hello September, hello Fall. Here in Wisconsin it has been raining for days and the cool temperatures that have come along with it has given us a taste of Fall weather. What weather are you experiencing where you live? I personally am looking forward to warm drinks and stews and the leaves changing and diffusing all the winter oils for our wellness and because they just smell delicious. Do you know when you diffuse Clove essential oil, or Christmas Spirit blend not only do you fill your home with the beautiful smell of the holidays, but you create a hostile environment for virus', bacteria and microbes to take hold in your household. Its a beautiful thing that a candle cannot compete with!
If you are on Facebook, let us know if you would like to join our private Education group? We would love to help you access video classes that you can watch at your convenience, local class schedules and daily oily tips on how to keep your family healthy naturally!
So many of us are on a budget and I wanted to remind all of our customers that they can buy another starter kit (quick order only, not on Loyalty orders) and enjoy the incredible savings that our Young Living starter kits provide, most of them are 50% off or more. Our Premium Starter kit is $165.00 for 12 oils and a diffuser and its valued over 300+. The CBD starter kit was my latest purchase so I could try all the CBD products (they are 100% THC free, and powerful with essential oils and the kit is a steal with a Muscle Rub, a Calm roller and the CBD drops that you can take internally for better sleep and calm when needed. If you want to take advantage of these amazing kit prices, log into your account and look under OR search starter kit and find the kit that serves your home the most. I know when I wanted to get a new diffuser for my home, I always bought a new Premium starter kit because the kit with the 12 oils was not much more than purchasing a diffuser on its own and the diffuser comes with the 12 oils. Its always been the best deal to build a Wellness Cabinet for your home and you can choose a different diffuser each time as well. Especially now that winter months are upon us, stock up on the winter favorites to keep on hand to tackle anything your immune system comes in contact with. If you need guidance as to what oils to keep on hand, respond to this email or reach out to the person who signed you up and we can help you with what oils are most needed for winter months!
HELICHRYSUM!! (Its in the CBD muscle rub) One of the “Big Guns”! 
I save up for this oil and keep it on hand for emergencies only. A number of years ago I sliced my wrist on a piece of sheet metal, a nightmare memory, and Frankincense and Helichrysum were life saving, being applied hourly at first and then several times a day for a week. I barely have a scar and the oils not only helped my hand be restored, they helped with the discomfort in the process too.
I save up for this oil and keep it on hand for emergencies only. A number of years ago I sliced my wrist on a piece of sheet metal, a nightmare memory, and Frankincense and Helichrysum were life saving, being applied hourly at first and then several times a day for a week. I barely have a scar and the oils not only helped my hand be restored, they helped with the discomfort in the process too. It is a very special plant and very expensive. Only 5% oil comes from the flowers.
53 hectares of helichrysum is planted at The Young Living Croatian Farm. This is now the biggest helichrysum farm IN.THE.WORLD with one million 200 thousand seedlings planted. We are growing the world’s first cultivated helichrysum in Croatia. #Sustainability
LOVE Helichrysum!! It’s a KEY ingredient in some of our favorite blends such as Deep Relief and PanAway, but it’s also pretty POWERFUL on its own. A little bit earthy, a little bit herby, its invigorating aroma can chase away the sluggish energy in a room and that’s just the start of the dozens of ways this essential oil is a multitasking all-star. 
A MUST-HAVE for your “Oily” arsenal! This rare plant is also a little mysterious, here are eight FUN facts and tips about this favorite essential oil for your inner botanist! 
1. Helichrysum flowers are sometimes called Immortelle, or the Everlasting Flower, possibly because of the way its essential oil can smooth the appearance of fine lines and uneven skin tone. Home spa night, anyone?
2. Helichrysum is a self-seeding plant in the sunflower family. It grows native in rocky and sandy terrains throughout the Mediterranean.
3. The word “helichrysum” comes from Latin and Greek roots, meaning “gold spiral.” Its beautiful, tiny golden blossoms definitely deserve the name.
4. Hit a slump? Throw some Helichrysum and Eucalyptus Radiata into your diffuser. The fresh, earthy, invigorating scent will perk your space right up and help you refocus on that mile-long to-do list. It probably wouldn’t hurt during homework time either. #Gift4TheMind
5. Tiny flowers mean TINY yields of essential oil. We steam distill the delicate blossoms of this plant, and while we don’t get much oil from each distillation, that oil has a rich and complex profile of the naturally occurring constituents neryl acetate, gamma-curcumene, and alpha-pinene. Neryl acetate is the main compound in helichrysum responsible for the natural activity. The higher the neryl acetate the more effective helichrysum is. It's a miraculous oil.
6. Hitting the gym? One of
the top Helichrysum oil uses is sports massage. Add a few drops of Helichrysum and Peppermint to V-6 Vegetable Oil Complex and knead into muscles wherever you need it. Our Young Living CBD Muscle Rub also contains Helichrysum and helps give that product the incredible relief it provides to everyone who uses it.
7. Helichrysum is typically harvested wild from the rocky shores of Croatia’s Dalmatia region, but Young Living’s helichrysum is cultivated at our farm in Split, Croatia. By cultivating this rare plant, Young Living is helping to protect it from exploitation and overharvesting. In using our Helichrysum essential oil, you’re helping support sustainable agriculture. Doesn’t that feel good?
8. Skin dull and dry? Help revive it with a soothing, aromatic combination of Helichrysum, Lavender, and coconut oil. Gently massage the mixture onto your skin, then kick back with some honey-lavender lemonade.
Here's a fun fact from Gary Young:
"At the farm in Croatia, I can cut the tops of the Helichrysum plant on Monday for distilling and by Friday, the entire plant has replaced what was cut. It is that regenerative."

It's August and welcome to the dog days of summer! I have just returned from visiting family in Indiana and Michigan and got to enjoy some beautiful sights and down time before the craziness of Fall and the holidays. Have you had time to get away or are you enjoying a Stay-cation? I traveled a lot with my 5 kids when they were young, even as a widowed single parent, but we always drove, ate out of a cooler and did as many things we could that didn't cost money.....and in all honesty, when my youngest kids were little, they were playing out in the kiddie pool one evening when I went out there to pull them in for dinner and one of them asked me to get wet in the pool with them, "I declined" but somehow we ended up getting into a water fight and I used the hose to spray them all down and play water tag with them for about a half hour, getting soaked beyond belief. Still to this day when I have asked my kids what is your favorite memory growing up, its not the trips to Canada, Disney, or even the yearly trip out east to the beach, I have been told it was when I just let loose and played in the backyard with them and doused them with water and let them do the same to me. So whether your traveling or if this is a season where you stay put, I hope your Summer is being good to you and you enjoy the little things.
It is Hot out here in the Midwest and if its hot where you are, make sure to keep your bottle of Peppermint in your pocket. Peppermint helps to cool the bodies internal and external body temperature when 3-4 drops are applied to the back of the neck and one drop on the wrists. You will feel that icy cold sensation and you will also feel immediately cooler. Just a note when applying it to small children, many kids are confused by the icy cold sensation and sense it as "hot", and if that happens, you can put several drops on the bottom of their feet to get the same result. Peppermint also helps the bodies response to inflammation, so you will cool down and see some other beautiful benefits! A drop is also great in warm water and stevia for a peppermint hot tea, hot chocolate, and homemade chocolate bark. Check out your desk reference for all the different ways to enjoy Peppermint essential oil.
Remember to order your must haves for Fall/Winter. Every year I have people message me when their family is down for the count and unless you have oils and supplements on hand, you don/t have any tools to work with and you will be waiting a week to have an order shipped to you so stock up this Fall and be prepared!!!! Jump on our Loyalty Rewards program and order a small order monthly to enjoy the rewards points and reduced shipping and the fun of getting your healthcare shipped right to your door. My top pics for winter are RC, Thieves, Christmas Spirit, Cedarwood, Myrrh, Orange, Oregano, Thyme and Digize!!!!!
I am including an article below about a supplement that my husband started taking this year, called Nattokinase. The following statements are my own opinion and I encourage everyone to read the article and continue with your own research. We have several sources for the benefits of Nattokinase and so when my husbands doctor wanted to put him on a synthetic blood thinner, we were off on an adventure to research how we could do this naturally without harm to his body and side effects. When researching this product, we also found it has been shown to break up blood clots, support a healthy heart and bones too. This is not a recommendation that you stop whatever drugs you currently take, but this is merely to encourage you to look at some other sources to make an informed decision for your health. Nattokinase is not a Young Living product nor is it promoted by Young Living. These statements are my own and are for educational purposes only. I do not profit from this product but just enjoying the benefits in our own home. Enjoy the article.
I have many people asking me about this topic and I hope you enjoy doing more research for you and your family!
Last week I sent out an educational email about our Melissa oil, its benefits, how its grown, harvested and distilled. It is one of the most expensive oils that we have at Young Living, but the benefits are pretty incredible. I personally buy a bottle every year and use the drops sparingly in other blends to enjoy the benefits but also to stick within my budget. Another way to enjoy the benefits of Melissa that I mentioned in our educational email, is to take Young Living MultiGreens. Have you heard of Bioavailability? Before putting essential oils in our Multigreens supplements, there was a 42% blood absorption in 24 hours, but after adding essential oils to our Multigreens, blood absorption rate rose to 64% in 30 minutes and 86% in one hour. Multigreens also helps your body have smoother and regular bowel movements daily. Who knew healthy living could be so easy?
Everybody needs more GREEN in their life, right? Add in the benefits of Melissa oil! This supplement is definitely something you might consider adding to your daily routine.
MultiGreens contains chlorophyll and is designed to boost vitality by working with the glandular, nervous, and circulatory systems. MultiGreens is made with spirulina, alfalfa sprouts, barley grass, bee pollen, eleuthero, Pacific kelp, and therapeutic-grade essential oils. (Melissa, Rosemary, Lemon, Lemongrass)
BENEFITS:
- Power packed "greens"
- Nutritious chlorophyll formula
- Nourishes cells with necessary nutrients
- Multi-mineral supplement
- Boosts vitality
- Aids digestion
- Supports glandular, nervous & circulatory system
- Boosts energy
- Essential oil infused
- Includes bee pollen, barley grass, spirulina, alfalfa, pacific kelp, eleuthero
WHEN?:
- Daily at Breakfast
- Consume with foods and NingXia Red
- Break open and add to children's food
- Break open and add to smoothie
- Try at dinner to help you sleep
- 3 capsules 2 times daily (I personally only take 3 a day)
- Can double or triple number when feeling "blue"

Why is our new Young Living collagen so special?
Collagen 101
What is collagen?Collagen is a type of protein - it is what gives structure to your skin, bones, tendons, organs, teeth, muscles, and blood vessels. It’s what makes our skin plump and soft, our hair and nails grow long and strong, our joints move smoothly, and strengthens our bones and muscles.
As you hit the age of 30, the body’s collagen production reduces quite a bit - and continues to decline by 1% each year. By the time you’re 50, your collagen levels have been cut in half.
Luckily, we can add collagen back into our bodies - very easily and efficiently!
What are the types of collagen?TYPE I - This makes up more than 75% of the collagen in your entire body! This is your beauty bestie! It reduces fine lines and wrinkles, plus improves hydration and elasticity. It strengthens your nails, and helps your hair grow longer and thicker. It helps support your muscles, eyes, bones, and spine as well.
It is most abundant in marine collagen, and because the molecules are smaller it is most bioavailable in this form. Bovine contains type I as well, although the molecules are larger.
TYPE II - Great for supporting joint health, as it is only present in your cartilage. It makes up the most of the protein molecules in your cartilage, and the connective tissue that protects your bones at the joints. This is best taken in bone broths made from beef and chicken. Young Living's AgilEase and BLM supplements also contain Type II collagen!
TYPE III - Best used for gut healing and supporting your muscles, tendons, ligaments, connective tissue, and blood vessels. It is the second most abundant type of collagen in you body. This is found in bovine (beef) collagen.
Type 2 is great for joints. Type 1 is great for joints AND SKIN. Young Living uses Type 1!!!! 
What is the difference between a liquid and powder collagen?The most obvious difference between liquid collagen and powder collagen is that liquid collagen comes in liquid form while powder collagen comes in powder form.
When you mix a powder collagen into liquid (coffee, tea, smoothie, whatever!) - it shockingly, I know, is now a liquid collagen.
Pre-made liquid collagen is a matter of convenience for many people and personal preference. It is often sold in single serving packets for taking it on the go. It generally has between 2.5-10 grams of collagen per serving (Young Living’s Bloom liquid collagen available internationally has 10 grams!) Some liquid collagen has added ingredients and less than desirable ingredients, so read those labels!
Powder collagen is virtually tasteless and can be mixed into your coffee, tea, smoothies, yogurt, or really anything you’d like! It is typically sold in sustainable bulk packaging that is more eco-friendly.
Which type should I choose?There are benefits to each type of collagen, so to say “THIS is better than THIS” is really doing a disservice to our bodies!
How much do you need to see results?
For skin: 2.5g - 10g per day
For joints: 2.5g - 5g per day
For muscle growth: 15g - 20g per day
Wanna start? Inner Beauty Collagen is your new bestie!Sustainably sourced Type I marine collagen is incredibly bioavailable. Type I collagen makes up more than 75% of the collagen in our bodies!
Reduces the look of deep wrinkles, fine lines, damage from UV rays, and skin smoothness and elasticity in as little as ****3 weeks****
Supports healthy skin, hair, and nails
No dairy, gluten, added sugars, fillers, flavors, or colors.
****5g of collagen*** per serving
Every ingredient COUNTS:
Type I marine collagen: A highly soluble form of bioavailable type I collagen, this ingredient is sourced from sustainable fish using a proprietary hydrolysis manufacturing process that uses no harsh chemicals or solvents. It is odorless and tasteless.
Peach ceramides: This ingredient helps provide hydration to the skin, decreasing skin dryness.
Biotin, vitamin C, and zinc: Vitamin C and zinc support collagen synthesis for glowing skin, while biotin supports hair and nail health.
Tapioca fiber: This prebiotic fiber supports healthy skin by balancing the gut microbiome.
Superoxide dismutase (SOD): SOD is an antioxidant enzyme produced through our unique fermentation process.
Hyaluronic acid: This ingredient supports skin hydration, helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles for more youthful-looking skin.
Vanilla oleoresin: This oleoresin is a unique form of vanilla that is neither an extract nor an absolute, both of which contain mostly alcohol, and is extracted from hand-pollinated orchid blossoms.
And... NO SUGAR. THANK YOU YOUNG LIVING!!!
It is my privilege to walk along side you to help you achieve your health and wellness goals for you and your family.

Can you believe it is July? Half of the year is already over and Summer is just getting started for most of the world. How do you use your products during the summer? My favorites are Purification for bug bites and deterrent, Lavender for soothing sun kissed skin, Citronella, Peppermint and Eucalyptus to put in a spray bottle with water to keep bugs off your garden vegetables (spray twice weekly - add garlic water too) Lemon in the diffuser and Lemon Lush soap to give your home an energetic vibe that smells amazing, Peppermint to cool your body down by applying drops down the back of your neck while on nature hikes or when you feel unwell, and Digize to use internally in capsules (5 drops) after eating all the food that we know we shouldn't, and to put on your kids feet so they can safely run barefoot on the beach, in the grass and through the rain puddles. It keeps all the stomach buggies away!!!
This month we are highlighting Ningxia Red and Ningxia Greens. Do you know the history of the Ningxia Wolfberry? So many people think its the same as the wolfberry you find in the grocery stores, but it is far from it. Ningxia Red is our signature drink that is a powerhouse of nutrition. The Ningxia berries are grown in the Ningxia province of China, and is saturated by the run offs of the Himalayan mountains, so the soil is rich in minerals and vitamins and protein. Ningxia wolfberries have the highest ORAC scale of any whole food.
Human blood was sampled and tested before and after ingesting Ningxia Red, enjoy the short video here -
Who wants some more cool scientific quick facts about the wolfberry? (NingXia Red’s MAIN ingredient!)
1. It is AMAZING for skin health: Research indicates that Ningxia wolfberry polysaccharides can reduce levels of collagen- and protein- destroying enzymes. The wolfberry seed also has a variety of fatty acids that make ideal humectants (moisture-retentives) and collagen stimulators for the skin!
2. It is the most nutrient-dense superfood and is the highest known antioxidant food according to ORAC test: Biochemists at the Ningxia Institute of Nutrition analyzed the Ningxia wolfberry, and found that it was a "vitamin capsule in the form of a fruit!" Over 15% protein by weight, the wolfberry contains over 21 essential minerals, 18 amino acids, and substantial amounts of chromium. It also contains extraordinarily high levels of vitamins such as thiamin (vitamin B1), niacin (vitamin B3) and vitamin C.
To confirm these results, Young Living commissioned an independent lab in the U.S. to run another analysis. Here are the “Ningxia Wolfberry Nutrient Summary” results:
+ 67 times the thiamin (vitamin B1) of brown rice
+ 2 times the niacin (vitamin B3) of baker’s yeast
+ 3 times the vitamin C of raw oranges
+ 5 times the calcium of raw cauliflower
+ 2 times the beta carotene of raw spinach
3. It supports eye health as well heart health.
4. It is the “Secret weapon” for Chinese Olympic athletes.
5. It is LOADED with minerals: Both the mineral profile and the mineral balance of Ningxia is without equal in the plant kingdom! With Calcium, Chromium, Magnesium, Potassium, Copper, Zinc and Manganese — Ningxia is a mineral powerhouse!
Many customers tell me that they use it when battling Cancer to help boost their body to bounce back after treatments!
You can’t afford to not drink Ningxia!
$1.57/per 1 ounce serving if you purchase the 2 pack.
$1.31/ounce if you purchase using the BEST method, the Ningxia ER kit
I personally love getting the 2 ounce packets that I can throw in my purse (it doesn't need to be refrigerated like the bottles), easy for travel, and I like taking 2 ounces a day, already served out for me. $3.26 for 2 ounces.
When you break down the prices, for the value and nutrition in this beautiful powerhouse of nutrition, it is cheaper than gas station coffee and the benefits are incredible!
A companion product that Young Living just released at this years Convention in June, is our new

Purslane is also a uniquely rich source of 184 phytochemical compounds, including phenolic acids, alkaloids, and flavonoids, which act as antioxidants.
* Secale cereale flower pollen extract: A non-allergenic and sustainably sourced extract that contains full-spectrum nutrients such as amino acids, phytosterols, fatty acids, carotenoids, flavonoids, vitamins, minerals, and enzymes, this extract is clinically shown to display antioxidant and detoxifying capacity and maintain cellular oxidative stress through significant decrease of GSSG (oxidized glutathione).

My daughters have taken Ningxia Red during pregnancy for optimal nutrition and health of mama and baby, and both had midwives that commented on the health and strength of their placentas. Coincidence? Maybe, maybe not.
It is great for kids who are eating solid foods (before that they are getting all their nutrition from breast milk and would be getting their own Ningxia through Mothers Milk if mama is enjoying it! ) Toddlers, teens, athletes, picky eaters, pregnant and nursing women, immune compromised, grandparents, world travelers and everyone in between. It is a beautiful addition to anyone looking to feel great, have more energy and sleep better!
Two of my grandbabies enjoying their Ningxia!
Enjoy this recipe below for Ningxia Gummies:
Who else here needs some extra gut support but loves gummies? Since I do not eat processed sugar, I miss gummy bears. My older sister used to take me to Marshall Fields when I was young and buy me fancy gummy bears, the memories are precious and I honestly still wish I could eat them!
Now I make my own, healthy style. No sugar!
1 cup of Ningxia
3 tbs of grass fed gelatin
I added 2 drops of Cinnamon and 2 drops of Tangerine.
Warm the Ningxia, I did not let it get to boiling, and add the Gelatin slowly and mix in while you stir, and then once its all melted, pour into molds or in a glass pan and it will make a thin layer and slice. Its gels in the fridge really fast.
This is a great treat treat and helps support a healthy gut. It's a great way to get a healthy treat into your kids and yourself without anyone suspecting how nutritious it is.
Quick Tips for using your essential oils:
Take internally AND apply topically when your under the weather, either chronically or situationally. I like to take 5 drops of several different oils in a capsule every 2-4 hours and apply oils down the spine or on the bottom of the feet hourly when falling below the wellness line, to help your body recover faster. Especially THYME oil.
Diffuse or apply to the back of the neck and temples when your struggling with your emotions, or soak in a bath of 10 drops of your favorite emotionally calming oil and Epsom salts.
If there is a physical injury, apply oils hourly to the area and if needed, add Copaiba oil internally (5 drops every 4 hours) to help the body's natural response to inflammation.
As you enjoy your summer travels, work through difficult days, take care of your bustling household, or shuffle off to work every day, use your oils preventively and purposely for your emotions, your physical health and all the needs that come up in your home. Refer to your desk reference when you have a question or contact myself or the person who shared Young Living with you, the ways in which you can use Young Living for all your health needs will blow your mind!
Enjoy the holiday weekend! Stay well, one drop at a time!

Young mamas, did you know you can fire your pediatrician? For that matter, your own doctor?
I remember my aunt having complications after a surgery and just suffering with a reaction and as my mom relayed this story to me, I asked “did she ask the doctor why?” My mom responded with “no, she doesn’t question the doctors”.
Thankfully my mom had problems with medical treatments before I was even conceived and so by the time I was born she had a very deep distrust in doctors. I call it wisdom that always made her question things and not just accept what they had to say blindly. I’m so grateful she raised me that way, raised me to listen to my body and to research myself and to question EVERYTHING and to listen to our gut instincts.
Every mama has a gut instinct that God designed in us to help us protect our babies. Daddy’s too, but especially mamas. That’s why the mama bear in you comes out when your child is hurt or being bullied or is in crisis. It’s our job to protect our babies.
My late husband died when I was 6 weeks pregnant with Emma and so of course having gone through that loss, raising 4 other kids and being pregnant on my own was quite the emotional trauma. About two months after he died I felt like I couldn’t breathe and had mild chest pain. I panicked of course and went to hospital. They immediately did al the routine tests for heart attack and couldn’t find anything. I had told them how stressed I was after loosing my husband. (That DIDNT tip them off to ask more questions) They told me the last test they were going to perform was to check for clots in my lungs 
and that they were going to inject me (while pregnant I might add) with a nuclear dye to see what showed up. 
. Knowing what I know now about that dye, I can’t imagine injecting that into a mama without absolute necessity in a life threatening emergency. It should never been done lightly.

Knowing what I know now about that dye, I can’t imagine injecting that into a mama without absolute necessity in a life threatening emergency. It should never been done lightly. My mamas gut instinct started to question things as I was taught to NEVER put anything in your body while pregnant or nursing. No shots, no Tylenol, no coffee, no liquor, no smoking, nothing. It’s the most sacred time for a mother and baby to give your baby the best chance. The fact that they encourage and tell mamas to take shots now while pregnant should send alarm bells in your soul. It shouldn’t be done, ever......
So they wheel me to an area of the hospital that has skull and crossbones on all the doors and told me to sit and wait for the test. My internal alarms were going off, like “this is bad, run now, don’t let them do this.....I sat for approximately 5 minutes and then just left. I left the hospital. That still small voice inside me said ABSOLUTELY NOT, and so I just left the hospital. I didn’t feel they had my best interest at heart. They never asked me if I was panicked or stressed even with them knowing I had 4 kids at home and had just lost my husband. They asked nothing about my mental or emotional state.
When my oldest was 6 months old she had a terrible terrible infected rash on her bottom. Nothing I used worked so I took her to the doctor. My mom insisted vitamin E oil would work but I didn’t listen. The doctor gave me a cream to apply to her and it literally made it 10x worse in less than an hour. She couldn’t even sit up her butt was so bad after that. I called the doctor to tell her of the results and she advised to keep using the cream. I said “I’m not doing that when it just made it 10x worse, the doctor than replied, “if your not going to do what your told than don't call me” and proceeded to hang up on me. 
. The mama bear in me rose up and said “your fired”, and I found a pediatrician that would listen to my concerns and not act like they were god. I finally used vitamin E oil like my mama said and it was gone in three days.

Candy stripers were still a thing when she was last in the hospital, giving birth to me actually. 
I stayed with her all week overnight because she was scared to be there. I stopped a nurse from giving her the wrong medication at one point, because I watched and listened and asked questions. (There are great nurses and doctors out there but they are overworked and tired, you need to be vigilant and observant when you are in the hospital, research from your phone all medications they are prescribing before you take them if it’s not an emergency.). ALL the doctors that were there would sit down at her bedside and ask her how she had stayed so healthy all these years with no medications. One doctor said he has never met a patient in 30 years in the US that had never had a medication. He sat with her and asked her to teach him what she did. She literally said, “I eat at home, I take vitamins and herbs and I stay away frim doctors like you” 
. He was quite impressed. At the end of her stay her cardiologist told her to take the meds he gave her and she asked “what about all my herbs I take daily, Ashwaganda, Ginkgo, Oregano?” He looked at her and said “I don’t know what any of those are, they SOUND dangerous, so just stick to what I gave you!”

When Emma was a baby she reacted horribly to the childhood “shots”. More severe than the older kids. My mom had always told me they were poison and not to give them to the kids but the doctors would tell us that we were going to kill our kids if we didn’t. But something inside me said “listen to Emma’s body, something is not right”. So I said no more, no more for any of the kids after seeing what they were doing to Emma. The doctor said I was harming her and I said “the shots are harming her, Why can’t you see that with her reactions”. All her reactions stopped when I stopped the shots. She was never healthier. I fired that pediatrician and found one that did testing on Emma and found out ONE of the reasons she was reacting and said “these shots could kill her because of this issue, She should never receive any!” Finally a pediatrician who allowed my mamas instinct and talked things through with me instead of acting like I was an idiot.
So so so many more examples of why to trust your gut....too many to mention.
Mamas, we spend so much time with our babies, we know them best. Don’t allow anyone to make you second guess yourself. Find a doctor who will work with you, listen to you and respect you as the gatekeeper of your home. It’s supposed to be a partnership, not them over lording your life when they see you one time a year not day to day. They are out there, you may have to ask around but that is how I found my wonderful doctor for my kids. We never went to well visits because why would I bring them in if they are well? It doesn’t make sense. We went only if they really needed it and they were healthier for it.
In the Bible it says that the older woman should teach the younger women, so grab yourself a mentor and soak up the wisdom of life
