About This Blog

My quest for health started in August 2009. My husband and I, with our 16 month old daughter, were missionaries in Ghana, West Africa. At the time, we had been in Ghana for almost 3 years. I became infected with malaria. It started off with cold/flu-like symptoms on a Friday night. By Sunday, I realized that what I had was no cold, but something that I had feared getting since I decided to go to Africa. I had malaria! I was able to start the three day treatment that same day. All day Monday I was still very sick; and by Tuesday morning, I was so weak that I could not leave my bed to go and get my crying baby from her crib. My husband took me to the hospital that morning, causing me to come face to face with yet another of my greatest fears - the medical system of a third world country. I spent three days in the hospital - and, oh, the stories I could tell about that experience. I returned home better, but my energy level was still very low. Gradually, I began to feel better. It took about two months before I felt completely normal again. This experience caused me to be more conscious about the health of my family. And since I wasn't in a place where good medical care was readily available, I began to do research on what I could do medically and naturally to keep my family's immune systems in good shape. Health has become a very interesting topic for me, and I'm always looking to learn more. The purpose of this blog is to share some of the things that I've learned, and to learn more. I want health to be a lifelong quest for me!

Green Star Complete Juice Extractor GS-200


Green Star Complete Juice Extractor GS-200
Last year I learned about the benefits of juicing.  Juicing with a Green Star Juicer takes the fiber out of the fruit or vegetable, leaving only the liquid nutrients.  Without any of the fiber to digest, your body can absorb the nutrients faster and more effectively.  Therefore, it is best to drink juice on an empty stomach at least 2 hours after eating and 30 minutes prior to eating.  These nutrients are necessary because we live in an age when our bodies are constantly being attacked by free radicals from processed food and airborne chemicals.  These destroyer cells can cause all types of damage in our bodies including cancer.  Drinking fresh juices from a variety of fruits and vegetables can heal and assist with many ailments.

I personally own a Green Star Juicer. It is the best because instead of chopping the fiber into the juice, it separates the two giving you the benefits I described earlier.  I love ours, and I'm glad I made this investment in the health of my family. If you are interested in getting your own juicer, click on the link above or on the picture of the juicer.
