Hi dear ones
We are starting a new month, which is great. Every month I make a new start. Today I weighted myself and took my measurements. Good in some areas and not so good in others. That is why each month is a new beginning and a re commitment. I have been working on my six in six manual today and writing down my intentions and declarations. It makes one think of what is really important to us in our lives and what we want to do with the rest of our life. Part of that is to write down at least five thinks that you are grateful for each day. This has caused me to really think about what I am grateful for. Even though I have some health issues I am grateful for the health that I do have. I am able to walk, think, plan and accomplish what ever it is I want to. I can work on my health issues and I have wonderful friends and family that inspire me take care of those issues in a natural loving way. I am taking six garlic pills a day instead of the blood pressure medication that the doctor gave me. What is interesting is that my blood pressure is the same as when I was taking the drug. The side effects from the medications for high blood pressure and diabetes is a dry hacky cough which I have had for awhile. I have only substitute garlic for seven days now but I do feel better. I am going to give this a month and see what happens. I am also on Chromium for diabetes. I still take the medication as well and we will see when I go in for a A1C how my blood sugar is. I am excited about the changes in my life.
In my favorite book "Feelings buried alive never die" the feelings surrounding diabetes is JUDGING self and others severely emotional shock, Joy of life gone. Those around blood pressure are feeling powerless in some area of life, feelings of deep anger, feelings of fear. I have come to realize that I judge myself very severely and that in many areas of my life I have felt powerless over situations. In the last ten years I have had a lot of anger about things that have happened. I must work on these things and as I do I will have complete health. My real challenge will be to not judge myself and find fault with all the things that I feel are failings. The other day I couldn't find any thing about myself that was beautiful, worthy, or appealing. Thanks to my wonderful daughter that has been my sounding board and full of wisdom helped me to see that I have lots of good qualities and I am a wonderful person. I have great talents that I have been blessed with and many more that I can develop. Self worth is so very important to us achieving success in every area of our life and yet most of us lack in this important quality, I know I sure have. The only thing that I regret is that it has taken me so long to learn that. However now that I have learned that I shall practice everyday to build mine and others self worth. This is life a wonderful journeyy and the excitement is great. I hope you all have a GREAT day.

A Beautiful Day
Hi my sweet friends,
Yesterday I had the pleasure of making a trip to Challis, Idaho. My daughter Colleen and her boyfriend Ken and I went to Challis to visit a Dr. John. It is a three hour trip and we were delayed because we ran into a rock slide and had to wait for them to clear the road. You travel from our home to Salmon, Idaho and then make a right turn and follow the Snake River to Challis. It is such a beautiful trip. Beautifully groomed fields and homes. A lot of the homes are right on the river and have boat access to the river. Colleen and I found a couple of homes that we really liked. There are also very old homes that no one lives in any more. One was vacant and falling apart and grass was growing on the roof. Old places and homes fascinate me and I wonder what the people were like that lived there and why they just left. I guess that is the genealogist in me. It is interesting seeing the old along side of the new.
It made me think of our lives. There I sat (the old) wondering how much my life was like that old house with grass growing on the roof, that use to be some one's home. There sat Colleen and Ken representing the new well groomed home. They are young and vibrant and full of live and dreams. Some of my dreams have been forgotten and put on the shelf and let life in general determine what happens to me. I decided that I needed to fix up this house and put a new coat of paint on her and start fulfilling some of those dreams that have not been completed. I am still able to move (a little) and I can still accomplish some things. I might move slower than I use to but Colleen and Ken inspired me to go for it. I guess that there are many times in our life that we have to be reminded of that we can do what ever it is that we want to do. I came home and found my favorite saying, typed it up in large print and posted it on my bedroom door and my mirror and anywhere else that I could see it. It goes like this: There is no chance, no fate, no destiny, that can circumvent, hinder or control, the firm resolve of a determined soul. I also received a email from my sister that had some wonderful sayings. I typed them up and posted them as well. Maybe they will help others so here they are: Obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb up, go through it, or work around it. Michael Jordan A stream when it encounters a huge boulder doesn't try to go over the top, instead it finds the path of least resistance and goes around it, eventually it builds enough force behind it that it becomes a river that can now move boulders.
All in all the trip was a wonderful and beautiful experience. The scenery was beautiful. The visit with the doctor was rewarding. Even though I had some sad reflections in the end I was inspired and lifted up and renewed with determination. Life is wonderful if we look for the beauty of it. Even though this body is aged it has seen alot and has alot of great memories and has many more to make and enjoy. Thanks to all my wonderful family that lift me up when discouraged and bless me in life. I have been blessed indeed. Love to all

A New Day
Dear Ones Welcome to a new day. I have started a new Isabody Beautiful Journal. It is always nice to make a new start on your life and your goals. I have recently seen some pictures of my weight loss progress and was surprised. I came to realize that I have lost 60 pounds in two years. I have also kept it off which is progress. Now for the next 60 pounds. I didn't put this weight on overnight. It came on through gradually with the stress that life offers and I bought into. I am gaining a new outlook and a better feeling about my self and who I really am. Thanks to my dear brothers and sisters and my wonderful children that have been there to help me and support me in my journey.
I am reading a wonderful book called "Love is letting go of Fear". According to the author there is only two emotions that of Love or of Fear. To love unconditionally brings love to us. Instead of being a fault finder we should be a Love finder. Look for the love in others and we will find love for ourselves. This book has made a great impression on my life and how I see things. I wonder sometimes why it has taken so long for these things to come to me. Hopefully I can live long enough to see the changes I want to make in my life and help others to find these truths before they get to be my age. Wouldn't it be wonderful if our children and grandchildren could know these truths and not make the mistakes that it has taken us to discover true happiness. I am thankful for life and the health that I have, for the things I have learned in my life. I am thankful for my experiences and look at them as stepping stones to something greater. I am thankful that Heavenly Father blessed me, to give birth to seven wonderful and healthy children. They have been a blessing in my life and taught me a lot. I am thankful for being born into a wonderful family with the best brothers and sisters that anyone could have. They have loved and supported me in my choices and sometimes in spite of my choices of life. Heavenly Father is so wonderful in blessing us and loving us unconditionally. I feel very blessed today. I hope that you count your blessings, it will improve your life.

In June I went to the doctor I weighed 299 pounds, my blood sugar A1C was 9, My blood pressure was 145/92, the only thing that I liked was the weight drop. The doctors didn't like any of it. I was put on Glipazide and metformin for sugar levels and I was put on a blood pressure medication. I was also told that I had cancer. A lot to digest in one fell swoop. I have gone the doctor route and it has cost me a lot of money and the bills are still coming in. I have chosen to not have surgery and go a natural route.
This is the sixth day of a 30 day cleanse. It has been a adventure. Some of the things that I am taking are not to bad others are down right nasty. Those that are really nasty is Burdock root and Chaparral, both good for cancer. Each day I have improved in administering the tinctures and teas. I have chosen to eat two meals but just raw veggies or fruit. Raw Cauliflower is so delicious. I eat until I am full. You know how your mom always told you to chew your food 30 times before you swallowed. It works with raw food. However yesterday I cheated, I made a big salad and put one tablespoon of ranch dressing on it and made me two pieces of toast with butter. Toast has never tasted so good and the dressing was Divine.
Today I start again. This morning I weighed 283.8, my blood pressure was 112/76 and my blood sugar was 143. My doctor wants my A1C to 7 or under, so I asked him what range that would be on my blood meter. He said between 140-160, I am in the low range and maybe by the time I go see him again it will be around 100 which is normal. I am excited and when I get discouraged these kind of results help me to be determined to go on.
Thank you everyone for your prayers in my behalf I know that they are what give me strength and buoy me up when I get down. Thank you so very much for being my friends and supporting me. Love to all.

1st Day of cleanse
Today I started my 30 day detox and cleanse. Interesting so far. We will see how this goes. I will have to handle it one day at a time. The skin brushing is not bad. The hot and cold shower is okay. I just jump a little when the cold water hits. The Liver flush is 8 oz orange juice, 8 oz water, 1 clove of garlic, l inch of ginger root and 1 tablespoon of olive oil blended, not bad. The next is a tea with 2 dropperful of liver and gall bladder tincture. This is not good tasting. I think that it is the tincture that is nasty. It makes you look forward to the juice that you get to drink later. I have four more cups of tea to drink before the end of the day. I also have to drink four more eight ounce glasses of water. I think I will be staying close to the bathroom.
I will keep you informed each day how I am doing. It says that I can eat but just raw veggies and fruit. At this rate I don't think that I will eat much. If I get real hungry I think I will try a isagenix shake. If this works it will be well worth it. I just have to have faith and think positive thoughts. I know Heavenly Father can heal me and help me through what ever comes. I want to thank you all for your faith and prayers for me. Have a great day everyone.

My new journey
Today is my gathering day. I have been gathering the herbs, tinctures, and foods to start a 30 day detox and cleanse. I will be starting on Monday. I have been doing some of the things like the hot and cold water therapy for a week now. This is done by taking your shower in the morning, just before you turn the water off turn it to cold water and spend 30 seconds and then turn it back to hot. You do this seven times ending with cold water. You may gasp, scream or yell when the cold water hits. You also take a shower just before bed only this time you end with hot water and go to bed. It helps you sleep better. While you are doing this treatment make sure that you concentrate on your dis-eased areas. I gasp each time the cold water hits me. I feel great, I think better and feel more energetic. I do sleep better and deeper at night.
I have realized that this new journey will take most of my day. It will be spent making and taking herb teas, making sure that my bowels are working well so I can rid my body of the toxins. I will also be spending time meditating and reading positive books, articles and my scriptures. If any of you want to send me positive and uplifting things I would love to read them. This blog will be a record of the things that I am doing, how I am feeling, and what results I see. I do not look forward to telling my doctors of my decisions. I am going to tell them because of the problem that my weight will cause which ever style of operation I choose I want to take the time and lose more weight. We will then see what happens. I am confident that there will be no need of surgery. Once again Thank You to all my family and friends that are there for me. I love you very very much. Have a wonderful day everyone stay happy and healthy.

Life's strange turns #2
My dear friends,
A lot of things have happened this past few weeks. Dr. Gibb talked to me about a hysterectomy and told me that there was two options. He also told me that he would schedule a cat scan. Since this is new for me I had no idea what was in store for me. For the cat scan I had to drink some stuff and then when they gave me the scan they put a needle in My arm and put dye in my body. One was for the intestines and the other was for the veins. The one for the veins made me all hot worse than any hot flash that I have ever had. Dr. Gibb told me that it look good but he was going to have Dr. Couschene go over it with me. I am then told that they don't know if my heart and lungs can take being on my head for thee hours. When I asked why I would have to be on my head they said that is how the robotic surgery is done. When Dr. Couschene talked to me he said that the scan showed that I had calcium build up around the arteries of my heart. They weren't sure if that was ssomething to worry about or just old age. My weight is also a issue either route I take. Robotically it would make it difficult to do. Traditionally there would be a eighteen inch incision and they is a great chance of infection. All of this makes one real anxious to take this step right.
While all of this is going on with the Doctors, other things are happening in my life. I find a book called "There are no Incurables" by a Dr. Schultz. It is a cleanse that helps your body get rid of "incurable dis-eases". I am iimpressed and feel good about this. My son Kyle brings me a book about the same time called "Quantum Healing" by Deepak Chopra, M.D. Have you every read two books at one time, well that is what I am doing. My son Cory calls me to see how I am doing. I tell him that I am leaning towards taking care of this naturally. He is very supportive and tells me that my friend Shirlynn is coming up to see me. Yesterday Shirlynn came to see me and tell me about her experiences with Ovarian cancer. She was told that she had cancer after having six children and that she would die if she didn't have it operated on. She choose to handle it naturally and went on to have more children. I feel good about trying to handle this battle naturally. I feel that Heavenly Father has led me to all this information. D & C 42:43 " And whosoever among you are sick, and have not faith t be healed, but believe, shall be nourished with all tenderness, with herbs and mild food, and that not by the hand of an enemy. D & C 42:44 " And the elders of the church, two or more, shall be called, and shall pray for and lay their hands upon them in my name; and if they die they shall die unto me, and if they live they shall live unto me." This scripture has given me great strength and the desire to put the Lord at his word. I believe that I still have a long life to live and a mission to full fill. Since I have made this choice there have been many that have showed up in my life with very negative reactions to my choices. They make me appreciate my friends and family that are supportive of my choices. They keep me in their prayers, they encourage me along the way and bless me. I am blessed to have such wonderful people that love and support me. I am going to use this blog as a on going journal of my journey into health and happiness. I love the LORD and knows that he loves me and will bless me. I love you all.
