PERSONAL
TIPS:
(1)
On the nights
that Richard has to work graveyard shift, to assure that I will
sleep soundly, at 8 p.m. I take two Tylenol PM tablets. By the
time I go to bed at 10 p.m., I can barely hold my eyes open, plus it
rids me of the day's aches and pains. It's the best sleeping
medication I've ever found!!!
(2)
I don't know
about you, but in South Texas, we have a bad mosquito problem, and
they're so tiny, you can't see them!. And for some reason,
they LOVE me (maybe because I'm white as the driven snow!)! My
GF, Linda, told me about two ways to keep them from "feeding on
me". First, buy dryer sheets (any brand or type).
Rub the sheets on all exposed areas of your body. I do this
each morning, and they honestly work (of course, I smell like I just
stepped out of a dryer, but hey, whatever works)!!! Secondly,
she told me to buy a bottle of B-Complex, and take one each morning.
I tried this, but for some strange reason, it reacted badly on me,
and by the third day, I was incredibly light-headed! Not good
when you have a long commute to drive! I don't know why it
reacted this way with me, but by Saturday of that week, I quit
taking them, and by that afternoon, the light-headedness had
completed stopped! It's possible that the Effexor-XR (75 MG,
once a day) that the doctor prescribed about a year or so ago for my
mood swings interacted poorly with the B-Complex.

Herbal
Combinations for Illnesses
Healing herbs are often used in
combinations when combatting an illness. Herbs are combined to
give the benefits needed from each, some to give a boost to
others, some to boost the body with healing energies. Below are
some of the more popular herbal combinations. The herbs can be
taken singly for these illnesses as well, although the suggested
combinations are best. Don't fret if you don't have all of the
suggested herbs for any given combination - use what you have,
and add the rest as soon as you can. These combinations can
usually be in any form you choose - teas, tinctures, capsules,
etc. You will want to use equal parts of each herb, or use more
of the herb most needed, with equal parts of the booster herbs.

Herbal
Healing for Pets
I
will begin by stating that you should not attempt herbal healing
for your pet unless you have a good understanding of what is
ailing your pet. And a good understanding of the healing herbs.
Don't guess.....check with a veterinarian first! There are now a
lot of holistic/natural vets out there - call around and see who
you can find. This advice is not meant to replace the diagnosis
and advice of a licensed veterinarian. That said, I will share
with you the herbal treatments that we use here at my ranch.
Most are simple, safe, and effective.

remedies for over 500 diseases and disorders. Back in the old days,
the pioneers were practical-minded people. They knew how to make-do
with what they had. They combined folk remedies from centuries
earlier in other lands, with herbal formulas borrowed from the
Indians. Since then, even more has been discovered about physiology
and nutrition. You will find a lot in this disease encyclopedia. The
God of heaven, who created us, has given us the simple things of
nature for our healing. It is our prayer that this encyclopedia will
help bring back the sunshine into someone's life. [NOTE
FROM PEGGY - This is a wonderful place to search for ailments
that you may have! Not only does it give you the
"symptoms", "causes", and "herbal
