Hi Health&Happiness, really sorry you're going through this.... have you tried raw cabbage and/or plantain leaf? I'm talking about the plantain herb (Plantago major or Plantago lanceolata). They are high in vitamin K and have properties that help heal ulcers and other digestive irritation.
Of course the issue might not be an ulcer but I know you've been under a lot of stress this year. Plantains have basically no side effects and are worth a try! You might even be able to find some wild plantain greens, but the cold weather has been hard on them here where I live. 😕
Also, I hope it's not overstepping to say this, but please don't keep carrying the weight of your parents passing. You are a good son, you loved them both and stuck by them to the end. They're in Jesus' hands now. Please give Him the weight before it crushes you. 😥
Will pray-
I was thinking about fermenting raw cabbage and mixed vegetables.
I forgot about plantain. Thank you for the reminder. 😊 That is wonderful medicine. Before our drought, I would sometimes use it in meals with dandelions. That should probably help remineralize too. Absorption really hasn't been adequate this year.
As we speak, I'm finishing a second cup of American Indian Tea/ medicinal mushroom. It has been the main reason my bleeding has stopped or I'd not survived.
You are right. I need to eat plantain too. 🍵🙂👍🏻
Your not overstepping. There's a lot of additional burdens that happened this year and prior that I haven't shared online. It was getting too painful to continue posting in my prayer request thread for Mom...
I'm normally very content and a positive person: However, there were evil people and circumstances that did us as much harm as possible. Had life and death been normal, I would have coped normally.
Nothing was normal though.
I am grateful for you and other family here who pray and encouraged me.
As it is, I am recovering gradually from the nightmares, sleepless nights and many physical fallouts from head to toes. It comes out in my sleep and when reminded. When awaking to horrible reminders, it takes a bit to get into an attitude of gratitude to the Lord. I do commit those burdens to the Lord and try to as often as reminded. But it's not a one time thing. It's a way of life. Your reminders are welcome too, because I know you care.
I often fail, but going in the right direction with the Lord's help.
In Christ' love to a dear sister,
I hope you and your family have a blessed Christmas.
