If they were to raise their voices… what song would they play?
Can you hear them? I think it would be beyond anything words could ever say.
Indescribable.

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.
Some of the Benefits:
- Helps to detoxify the liver
- Helps with energy production
- Lowers blood sugar
- Treats nerve pain from diabetes
- Boosts the immune system
- Good for heart and brain function
- Powerful antioxidant!
- It works with your B, C, & E vitamins
- Slows down aging

- Helps with HIV

- Helps with weight loss
- Helps with insulin resistance
- Boosts T-cells
- Inhibits Influenza and flu viruses
- Helps with Neuropathy
- Lowers blood pressure (when taken with L carnitine)
- Anti inflammatory
- Helps with retinopathy
- Crosses the blood-brain barrier
- Good for skin

Upon the raging sea
Have seen the light
And sailed safely home to thee …

Face Masks
During this time, I have seen many people wearing masks. While this can be helpful – also remember that the best protection is for anyone who is currently unwell to wear them. And if you are wearing them while well to prevent germs, remember that germs may adhere to the outer surface of your mask 😷. If you take your mask off or touch it, you’ll need to wash / sanitize your hands!

Frozen in Time
Water flows, always on the move.
Ever changing, what does it prove?
Then it stands still – for a moment in time,
Like a looking glass, we look and we find.
What has been flowing – is now still.
What was up – now pointing downhill.
Past echoes, future sight – drumming.
The sun is coming, the sun is coming…
