What about healthcare?



My husband has been looking for work for some time. During this time we have experimented with some creative solutions to periodic health challenges. I thought that I could share some of the things that we have done to help us in this time that we have been uninsured. I hope that this might help someone else too.

Here is the short list, I may think of other things later to add on:
Prayer, fasting, scripture study, priesthood blessings, paying tithing
Essential Oils
Energy Work
Poultices
Eating as healthy as we can afford to, especially avoiding sugar
Garlic-olive oil foot rubs
Lemon with chlorophyl and raw honey--I put this in water and make a drink for my kids or myself if starting to get sick or just need a boost.
Herbal teas (herbs like red raspberry leaf, chamomile, etc. Not black, green etc that actually come from a tea plant.)
Herbs, in general
Home Birth
Vitamins
Kefir, and other cultured foods
Gardening

Books:
Feelings Buried Alive Never Die
 Joel Fuhrman's book,Eat to Live
The Emotion Code

Websites/Blogs
Doctor Yourself
Tied to my apron: this is from my friend Allison, be sure to look at the different tabs.
