    Ripples … Finding Sanctuary in the Moment

    Georgia Swamplands

    This place doesn’t mind being forgot.

    It cares not.

    Time moves forward here without being pushed. It’s the natural way to move so subtle and slow.

    Letting it flow.

    No greeding or hoarding of supplies to survive. Without thought…

    It lives to thrive.

    No wonder we step away to remember again, there’s more to us than the rush and the fuss.

    A space to contemplate, instead of cuss.

    Leave it all in this moment we find. Then rejoin your life,

    With a clearer mind.

    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
    • Boosts glutathione!
    • Helps with HIV
    • Helps with MS
    • 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

    Colloidal Silver

    Colloidal silver can help reduce bacterial infections in your lungs and reduces a virus’ ability to replicate. It can be put into humidifiers and sprayed onto face masks – which we are now doing at work with our masks.

    Jed

    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


    This story is fiction, but it was running around my mind, so I gave it a voice.

    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…
