Itchy
A while back Martha contracted a severe case of either poison ivy or poison oak. I say 'either' because the rash was so spread out over her legs and arm that we could not distinguish between the two. She had come into contact during a bout of weeding in our yard, but blossomed a few days later while we were on vacation on Cape Cod. Interestingly, her father was completely immune to poison ivy and was the guy other people in the neighborhood would call to pull the plants out of their yards. So much for genetics.
Suffering from excruciating itching, we headed to the pharmacy in search of relief. She tried all the conventional and unconventional methods thought to be effective....Clinically, I've long used external applications of tincture of Grindelia squarrosa as an antidote for poison ivy.

Remember when you were a kid and returning to school after a long, lazy summer break? Try to recall how you felt, a mix of excitement and nervous energy, perhaps?

If you can't conjure up those pictures in your mind, you might have a little brain-training to do.
A sharp mind and strong memory depend on the health your brain's neural network--especially those junctions between those neurons called synapses. Since many of the brain changes that accompany aging and mental disorders are associated with the deterioration or loss of synapses. It's important to protect these connections, which may help you to avoid mental decline.

How has the blood type diet impacted your life?
The biggest impact the Blood Type Diet has had on my life was in 2012-13. In February 2012, I was diagnosed with multisystem organ failure. I pulled out my book and started to eat totally from the highly beneficial list, eliminating any foods from the list that caused me problems. I bought the Eat Right for Your Type Encyclopedia and used several of the herbal remedies. I eliminated all over the counter supplements.
Through whole food supplementation and diet I have been restored to full health. I only spent one day in the hospital in 15 months. Within 8 weeks of being out of organ failure I went on a 3 day hiking trip with a 40 lb. pack. Eight weeks after being allowed in the gym I had met or exceeded all of my max lifts prior to my diagnosis and put back 16 of the 25 lbs. I had lost while I was sick. I am healthier now than I have ever been. Read more...
