Yum, purple sprouting broccoli planted last fall. This is a good start to my favorite breakfast, protein and vegetables.

I just got this email from a nutritional Applied Kinesiology patient and had to share! This patient had 3 appointments one month apart. Nutritional AK checks for infections, food intolerances, heavy metals and chemical toxicity. I make sure the supplements that you take are the best match for you and that we have a targeted healing diet customized for you.

"Thank you so much for everything! The pain, gut health, nasal health, and his over all well being has improved immensely thanks to you! I also don’t think it’s a coincidence that now that all of his symptoms are gone the mass has become stable. So thank you so very much again! "

This salad is really, really delicious and sooo good for you! Try it, get ingredients at Natural Grocers in Gresham.

If you love this unique dish, you can make it in your own home, and the best part is that it doesn't take a lot of time or prep work.

This is an important graphic. Yes, the real food costs more (there's several meals there). But we aren't told often enough about the resulting cost of ill health from fast food & and bad choices.

Saw this @ our pediatrician’s office. 😳 Great visual.

S/O to Dr. Jack Whitehead

Happy Friday, Mariposa County!

We've been hearing a lot of questions about bad side effects from the COVID-19 vaccine that can happen years after a vaccination. We wanted to share some important information about this.

◾ No non-live vaccine has ever been shown to do this.
◽ Biologically, scientifically, it doesn't make sense.
◾ The vaccine leaves the body within 72 hours. The antibodies created by your own immune system are what stick around.
◾ Serious side effects are RARE and the vast majority occur within 6 - 8 weeks.
◽ These side effects have proven to be extremely rare and the benefits still outweigh the risks.
◾ In contrast, COVID-19 has been proven to cause long-term health problems in many.

My second Imperfect Foods delivery. Here's a link for $20 off if you'd like to give it a try (and they do deliver on Mt Hood) http://imprfct.us/v/anna_16288

I just unpacked my very first Imperfect Foods order. I'm very pleased! I ordered Tuesday, delivery was today, Thursday. They gave me a text with approximate delivery time (they came 1 hr early). Everything looks fresh and delicious. The duck confirm was a splurge, $23, so without it the order would have been $65. If you want to try it yourself, here's a code for $20 off (I get a $20 credit too)! http://imprfct.us/v/anna_16157

"The vaccines do not contain the coronavirus itself, but rather synthetic messenger RNA that instructs cells to manufacture a protein that looks like the spike protein of the coronavirus. The immune system, in turn, responds by producing antibodies to that protein, creating sentries against infection by the real virus. The RNA does not interact with or alter a person’s DNA."

Vaccines are Coming. Let's fight back against misinformation that Sen. Ron Johnson, and others, are promoting.

1. mRNA vaccines such as Pfizer's and Moderna's are not new. Been around since the 1990s.
2. They are not gene therapy. The mRNA never enters the nucleus of a cell, so cannot affect DNA.
3. The mRNA stimulates muscle cells to produce a copy of the spike protein of SARs COV 2, then deactivates.
4. These spike proteins are not the complete virus, but a copy of the "coronas".
5. These proteins then incite our natural immune system to respond to them as invaders.
6. The immune system creates antibodies that will recognize these proteins if they enter the body-ie you get infected with Covid.
7. None of the 70,000 racially and age diverse volunteers had a serious adverse response to the vaccine, and none of them became seriously ill with Covid and had to be hospitalized.
8. Can you still get infected? Sure. But your body will be primed to respond with it's own protective system and so, any illness you have won't kill you or land you in the hospital.
9. Can you infect someone else if you've been vaccinated and get Covid? Jury is out on this one. We still have to mask until hive immunity (60-70% are vaccinated) is reached. Darn.
10. Do we know that ten years from now, there won't be a side effect we can't predict? Nope. Is it better than dying of, having life long issues with, or even worse, transmitting this deadly disease to a loved one? Yep.

I am really excited about this type of vaccine, it has enormous potential to transform the battles against infectious disease. Unfortunately, it has to be kept very very cold (94 F below for Pfizer's, warmer for Moderna's) so it's use in places that don't have that kind of freezing ability will be limited. There are other vaccines on the horizon.
