Homemade Cough Syrup, Witch Doctor style
I recently added to my witch doctor remedies, voodoo practitioner if you prefer, by brewing up one that remedied a bout of bronchitis that was creeping up on me. There was this nasty cold that I wasn’t taking care of. Hack hack, cough cough. Lo and behold…bronchitis. I stopped coughing within three minutes of taking this, coughed […]
GAPS day 18, ‘GAPS Kitchen Syndrome’, a virus, and CHICKEN FEET
I have some weird spots popping up the last few days that are small, red, and painful. They are also clear inside where a whitehead would be. I have them mostly on my palms and the underside of my fingers and have about seven of them on my hands today. Nuts? Dairy? Regular die off? […]
GAPS day 17, still intro’ishing it
As I ruminated on and stewed over why I’m diverging off the path of true intro – when I normally tend towards perfectionism -, I think something – or many somethings – must require the enzymes in raw food to heal. Much of the healing the must take place in hubby’s organs to start producing insulin and […]
GAPS day 16, intro…ish?
10:53 am We’d be officially on day 2 of intro if I were strictly following the protocol. The idea teased around in my head all yesterday to keep going, but I just can’t do it. As of right now, we can’t knock out all raw foods. I feel, well, gross by the evening of day one […]
GAPS day 15, stage 1 intro…again
I’m changing up my format a bit and trying to be a little more cohesive – even with the fuzzy die off brain I’ve acquired -, since I may be up to two readers(!) after linking to Baden’s wonderful GAPS blog. She’s a gem for writing a book and keeping a blog to navigate this foreign world we call the […]
GAPS, day 5
Today was another pretty good day. Not perfect, but how can it be with such a limited diet? I COULD NOT have any more broth or anything cooked in it. My body was threatening mutiny. Katie’s loves her meat so is handling it better but has been pretending that her food is myriad versions of […]
GAPS, day 4
Sorry for another word jumble. Once I start feeling really well again, I’ll probably organize my thoughts better. Probably. Yay! Oil pulled today. Either Katie or I weren’t feeling well or needed to eat right away for me to do it earlier in the week. It’s a method of detoxing that I’ve been doing for […]
GAPS, days 2 & 3
I want to try to blog our daily journey through GAPS, since I have friends who aren’t considering it but could benefit and those that are flirting with the idea or are seriously interested…and then I miss day 2. Oops. Well, I’ll do my best. Warning: Fog brain seriously set in today. I’ve been a little, […]
GAPS intro, day 1
It’s official. We’re finally on GAPS (www.gapsdiet.com). I have been going crazy trying to figure out the best time to start. Spring? Good time for detox but we might miss all the fresh veggies of summer in our new garden. Fall? Another good time for detox but maybe we’ll miss out on the last of the […]
