Woman gives birth after being told she couldn't

   After surviving a fire, Andrea was told that she wouldn't be able to carry a child past four months. Grant defeated the odds, by conceiving another child. Yes, you read correctly. She has given birth twice. The world is shocked. Yet, I'm not. That is the power of GOD. This should be inspiration to those who've been told the same.  Regardless of the diagnosing circumstances.

Inaccurate tweets

Young man makes an inappropriate tweet. Regarding women's men trial cycles. He stated that, "tampons should not be free....women need to learn how to control their bladders".  Wow! Someone please give this kid a double lesson.  One in anatomy. The other I'm biology.

  

Woman has three watermelon sized ovarian cyst

    Doctors were attempting to diagnose abnormal abdominal girth. The patient, a woman in her mid thirties.  Her physicians order an ultrasound. Which revealed an extremely large ovarian cyst. Stretching from her lungs to her pelvis. They we're beyond melon sized. These were pumpkin sized. Having no "known" serious illnesses or surgeries. Her medical history appeared to be normal. During the procedure. Doctors discover one giant cyst on her right ovary. Stretching from her sternum to her pelvis. With an ovarian cyst of this nature, an ooferectomy had to be performed. Which basically means he right ovary had to be removed. She did recover. 

 

Yogurt replacement?

   Recently I was speaking with a friend who's really getting into her health. She mentioned that makes smoothies often. Which is a great thing. Yet, when she told me the ingredients and and that she'd be experiencing a stomach ache. I couldn't hep but confirm what her mother thought. Being that she is an endometriosis sufferer.  Which causes her to be lactose intolerant.  She was using almond milk, but wasn't aware that Greek yogurt was still dairy. Even though it comes from a goat, it's still has the same effects as cow yogurt and other dairy products. 

    It's a mistake that I made years back. When trying to do the endometriosis diet.  I'm happy that she is aware now.  For all my sisters searching for an alternative.  There's coyo, a coconut based yogurt. In the U.S. Our brand is so delicious.  Also try almond yogurt, by almond dream.  They bother are really good.  Taste better than normal yogurt.  They do not have a nutty flavor either.  Give them a try! 

Quick ginger shots! No juicer involved!

    Using a mortar and pestle, grind ginger down to a pulp. Quick and simple. Make ginger shots on the go. Or even to add to juices. By far this is my favorite quick way to make ginger shots.  Can even be substituted with wheat grass. 

 *Ginger is great for the digestive system. As well as killing cancer cells

Dairy, Soy, & Egg Free Ranch Dressing

As you all know, I have various limitations when it comes to food. Ranch dressing was among those things. Until I discovered Daiya products. Walking down the aisle in an organic store, it stood out on the shelf.  It's been so many years since I've had ranch, that I thought I saw a unicorn.  Lol.  If you or a loved one has dairy, soy, or egg allergies, I highly recommend this item. 

Local Farm Haul

While heading home, my parents came across a local farm. Naturally they stopped in. To satisfy their curiousity. They retrieved me some local yellow watermelon. Also a dozen fresh picked peaches. All of which were grown in Michigan.
