My son played this for us a few months ago, but for those of us who enjoy applying our musical skills to spin out well-known tunes on various instruments, or appreciate those who do… it’s a nice way to use our creativity while we are away from work or away from our regular activities with others. Despite the distance for many of us, we are close in heart and spirit!
Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) – A Powerful Immune Booster
ALA is a vitamin-like chemical (naturally occurring fatty acid) known as an antioxidant. Antioxidants protect our cells from damaging free-radical cells which are caused by such things as environmental toxins, aging, inflammation and stress.
While our bodies naturally make a small amount of ALA – which helps turn glucose into energy (thereby helping with diabetes), it can also be found in vegetables such as spinach, asparagus, Brussels sprouts, beets, broccoli, peas, carrots, tomatoes, and in foods such as brewers yeast, potatoes, and organ meats like liver and kidney.
As we age, our bodies make less of this antioxidant, and so supplementing can be very beneficial. It is easily absorbed and is water soluble.
One of the most powerful antioxidants in our body is called glutathione and ALA helps boost this protective antioxidant as well.

Food is our first, most basic medicine. It just feels good to eat good food!
Reading is a great therapy. It is stepping away into a different space … an emptying of sorts. Then, anchoring and filling the mind with a new focus for a time. Hey, it sounds a bit like meditation!
What do you think about while chanting mantras? The words you are saying and theintention behind themI hope! It is having a focused mind with a specific intent – while speaking in the language of energy. Hmmm, sounds meditative. And effective!
It feels like such a small thing at times, but it’s pretty big for those who can’t get to the doctor on their own. In its own way, it touches lives – and not just theirs. It brings some wild stories and wild rides – with a huge assortment of unforgettable memories, names and faces.
It’s a different way of being and thinking for some. It’s about so many things done in the spirit of togetherness… it’s never an option to step away for too long. Separateness is only by circumstance, and togetherness is always the goal.
Hi, my name is Jed. I had to go into the hospital today to have a life-saving procedure done. I couldn’t stay home as others are doing. I got to the hospital, and there were very few people there. Everyone wore masks and gloves. Everything smelled like it had been wiped down with disinfectant. And I was grateful. Because, even though I couldn’t stay home, others are, which makes it safer for those of us who cannot, for whatever reason, do so. It protects medical staff who cannot stay home and it protects patients who need to be there.
I want to say, “Thank You!” to all the people out there who are working to protect themselves and others.
Thank you,
Jed
