Question #2 - What do I use to healthify my children?
I do use oils and vitamins. I started taking classes from Dr. Christopher - He's local here so it's easy to find his products. I'm not sure how easy it is to find his products elsewhere but they are available online.
I've started reading a really good book called "Disease Proof Your Child" - basically the first line of defense is feeding them right. It's
filled in a lot of holes where I had questions before (plus it has some
tasty looking recipes I'm excited to try). Dr. Christopher says
similarly that we create an environment in our bodies where disease can
thrive by what we eat/don't eat.
Everything that I go on as a "foundation" is found in the LDS Scriptures - particularly The Word of Wisdom -
Daniel's story in the bible has been really helpful for me as well.The others are just "programs" I guess that help me
to know how to apply truth.
That being said, as a general rule I shy away from things that seem
"fad-ish". Lots of essential oils (though I'm just starting to learn
about it) are VERY strong and many people use them as a replacement for
eating healthy. Not that I'm against oils, I just like learning about
all the methods and applications from a non-biased standpoint so I own
the knowledge more and know better how to use it. (plus, honestly, I'm
cheap and I hate paying for multi-level marketing mark-ups). If you're
interested oils I've HEARD (still getting into it) that Butterfly Express is a quality company, but much less expensive than other
brands...
Last - there are a MILLION things I've found in studying about
different illnesses you can do to help remedy them. Usually, in the
middle of it, I don't have time to do them all and I sometimes feel
overwhelmed trying to decide what is best. God knows everything. When I
pray to him about my children, who can't really pray themselves (esp.
babies), I am amazed at how fast answers come! He really loves them and
wants what's best for them and us. They are His, and I love how he works
through me to to care for them!
Everyone is different, which is the best thing about going to God. He works through the same basic doctrines and principles (which don't change from person to person), but he knows us each individually and what we need (what level we're on and what our specific body needs are). I recommend continued prayer through the process of know what is best for you and your children.
