Each misfortune you encounter will carry in it the seed of tomorrow's good luck.
The title is a quote from Og Mandino.
Well yesterday sucked, but today was awesome. I got to sleep in, but not too late. There was a cancellation at the massage place so I got in at the last minute at a discount! Since my massage was over on Sawmill, I stopped at Whole Foods and got lots of tasty stuff. Their fruit is always amazing and the fish is really fresh, the whole store is just awesome!
When I got home I fixed up the asparagus I bought with a tiny bit of olive oil, salt, pepper, and slivered fresh garlic. I roasted the asparagus on the grill while I grilled the salmon on a cedar plank. It was soooo good and really low fat so it didn't make me sick. For dessert I had some honeydew (again from Whole Foods) that was sooooo sweet. I also got pineapple, Woo City mango sorbet, Orangina, and just a few Pure Imagination chocolates (I hear they're amazing, but they were $1.29 per piece!!!) but I also made a pit-stop in the homeopathic remedies section
The homeopathic stuff isn't usually my cup of tea, but there is a lot to say for "natural" remedies I guess. Last night I watched "Crazy, Sexy Cancer" on.... I think it was Discovery Health. The main person in the show was a girl in her twenties who was diagnosed with a terminal cancer and it was already stage for. Stage 5 is death. Anyhow, since there isn't any effective treatment for the cancer she has the doctors didn't want to pump her full of chemo and stuff. They figured it wouldn't do much for her and it would make her miserable. She was really frustrated because the doctors just wanted her to basically sit and wait, so she started looking into alternative medicine. First she tried a probiotic diet that was really high in grains and really difficult to maintain. The tumors still grew. Next, she met with this doctor who is all about raw foods and believes that ALL disease is caused by excess acid in the body. He did a blood draw and showed her the blood in a microscope pointing out all of the acid crystals in her blood. He said the high grain diet she was doing was causing massive buildups of these acid crystals in her organs which was making her sicker. She changed her diet, cut out all the grains and meats, and started eating nothing but veggies. Now who knows if this was a coincidence, but her tumors stopped in their tracks. She's not technically in remission because the tumors are still there, but the cancer just kind of stopped. She wasn't sick anymore, the tumors weren't growing.... the doctors were amazed!
That was a long explanation.... anyhow- if this homeopathic stuff friggin stopped her cancer, maybe some of it could help me right? I ended up buying 2 tubes of this "Boiron Blue" stuff. One is for headaches with dizziness and the other for indigestion with nausea. They're cute little dispensers that dispense these little white pellets that are "micro-doses of mineral, botanical, and biological substances." I had a headache a little while ago so I took the headache one as directed and my headache was actually gone like 15 minutes later. I didn't think it would do anything, but it apparently did. I'm OK with that, so I'll try it again next time and see if this was just a fluke. They might make a believer out of me yet.
