A Different Year

This year is different From others years I spent Here in these mountain hills Where all the beauty spills Rivers are running dry Wildfires are also nearby A serious caterpillar invasion here Many of the trees are winter bare Wildlife is moving all around Seeming to look for other ground It’s a different year for sure I hope each day for a better cure Heidi Sands 7/3/22

It is sad that rivers are drying up and caterpillars attack trees and leave them bare. Nature is changing fast ! Hope things will improve in time ! Well written Heidi !

Heidi I will be praying for your health. It is not pleasant when one feels ill. You just want it to be over with. I read some of the comments and you said that you were starting to feel sick during the start of the fires. My guess is its related to inhaling the smoke. Take time and get away from the area and inhale new fresh air. Also do a detox cleansing of the body. Juice organic carrots and drink immediately after juicing, it brings live enzymes to your cells and is a vital nutrient of

Sounds like a touch of the manufactured virus Heidi.' Be strong mentally, and do care for your body.' God be with you.'

Hi. Michael. Thank you very much. I do have the Gerson Diet Book. I also need a juicer. I thought it was from the wildfire smoke. But it is strange. I had to go to the hospital due to chest pain and nitro not working at home. Within a few hours there, I got a sudden out of control cough (that I had not gone in with) It went downhill from there, then bad throat pain , no voice, cold all the time. Body aches. Couldn't try to talk without losing breath or coughing. It has been a long ordeal. Some relapse today, yet again. I have thrown everything else at this. Long story. I appreciate your comment and kindness! Take care :)

of the bodies way of healing. It really works Heidi. New cells are made with the enzymes the juiced carrots produce. Dr Max Gerson used this method to cure people of many diseases, mostly cance. He had a 99% cure rate and the 1% that died cheated on his instruction and did not follow his diet and recommendations, he found out later. His daughter Charlotte wrote the book, Healing The Gerson Way, I encourage you to read it. Organic carrot is the healing ingredient taken in after Juicing. God bless you Heidi and I will be praying for your complete healing...
