I know I seem to get carried away with the health articles on this blog. It started as a place where I could post about my knitting and craft things I found. And then my art work. But it also included what my family was up to and my interests like music and books. I think when you write a blog for years, your whole person comes out, especially when you write from the heart.
I read things that maybe most people find boring or sometimes hard. Maybe I should have gone into medicine. Maybe I will! But after feeling so badly for so long, and I don't mean horrible, but just not healthy, I decided to do something about it. This led to so many discoveries-- things that not only helped me, but I knew might help others who I knew were struggling with different things. What I sometimes forget is that people only take information offered when they really are seeking it themselves. So I can share the secret to life, but that doesn't mean everyone wants to hear it. I understand that. Partly because I'm the same way too!
My intention is to help... because that's how I am. I'm a helper. That's why I became a teacher and why I have volunteered so much, because that's my nature. If someone can be happy because of something I've shared, then that is worth a million bucks to me! I'm not motivated by money or by pride. I just want to help end suffering. This is probably misunderstood by people who don't think I have any credentials. That's why I've actually considered going back to school. I have two teenagers heading there too so I don't think I could swing three tuitions. But I have stacks of books to absorb right now anyway!
I know when I started to feel better after finding out I was gluten intolerant and started to heal my gut, cook better food and find real answers, then I felt more like creating and participating in life again. So that is why this craft blog is more a "living" blog.
When there are many, many articles out there, it is hard to know who to trust. This is when I decided that true health should be an innate thing in humans... not prescribed. I found The Weston A. Price Foundation and critically read articles on any subject I could think of, just to see how it would be answered. So far, it has been solid and there is so much scientific data to back what traditional health wisdom they have preserved, that I knew this was my answer. I just obtained the Weston A. Price "Wise Traditions Conference in London 2011" DVD (because obviously I couldn't attend it) and watched the first lecture by Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride on GAPS Syndrome. Basically that all health comes from our gut. You might have heard that piece of wisdom by some guy we know as Hippocrates? ;) It is AMAZING! If you click on her name, you'll find her website and of course, I would strongly suggest you check it out. But if you don't, just know that there is a place to go if you ever want to find out how to cure your allergies, heal your intestines, prevent cancer, cure all sorts of childhood diseases, diabetes, seizures, and the list is exhaustive. And I believe it's true 100% because this is what I've done since May.
So bear with me because while I throw out my pearls, I'm sure someone out there will eventually need the link to healing and we may never know it... and they may be healed. ♥

You are definitely a giver Beth - that's why so many of us stop by to read your blog and I love that you use it for all sorts of things. I've learned so much just by dropping by. Keep it up!!
I like reading these asides - I don't have time to do all the reading, so it is nice to have these resumés.
You could draw about food and nutrition and natural living (reminds me of Kathryn Clark who quilts about the massive number of american foreclosures and her work is fascinating). Then it would come full circle!
I have read your post before listening to U2 :)
I can just say : Thank you Bethany!
Thank you for all the things you share so nicely! I have read on your blog several things quite important for which I didn't get any informations or so little, such as gardasil (for exemple).
This is very important to know what we have in our plate, it can make damage with the time...
