Yes agree Paul, but in my case there is a third option,
problem found then i would be seeking other treatments
besides pharma ones.

Excellent.

Newcomer to this fantastic thread I haven't read it all but am jumping in.

10.28 am. Children at school and college. I'm sitting typing in what seems like silence until i listen. I can hear the clock ticking and the dog snoring, almost in unison. Traffic noises from outside and a neighbour talking. Blackbirds and crows are in fine voice on the roof and in the garden. I can smell hot tea.

Today i have no work and i plan to go for a long walk in nature. I wonder how the horse chestnut trees are as they come into leaf - last year they had some sort of blight on their leaves.

My dog just woke up and is having a drink, she always drinks in threes "Slurp slurp slurp... Slurp slurp slurp..." She just walked over to me and dribbled cold water on my bare knee!

The sky is overcast but it's very calm and still. I am feeling very peaceful today, but with a tinge of excitement.

One of those alternative prevention meds, especially to help strengthen the hips, would be to bang against a wall, regularly.
Gently, of course. I learnt this in bio-energy class.
Can be done while in the shower.
If one were to bang each hip joint with ten such knocks every day, the bone mass would maintain it's density.

Also helpful could be the knowledge of what one's micro architecture should look like, ideally. The picture on the left shows healthy bone mass.
Keep this image in mind. Fill in the gaps; this is where visualization techniques can come in handy. Eat lots of leafy greens.

Need a little help from the village.

Just got back from taking my big dog to the emergency vet hospital. He had a temperature of a 105, has a severe infection and celphalitis on 2 of his legs. The fever is finally starting to go down but it is still touch and go for him. His hind left leg is extremely swollen. While i was out of town he got into a fight with a large raccoon trying to protect 2 smaller dogs from it.
He is such a big sweet lovable guy. Would you guys say a prayer for him and send some healing his way? His name is white tail.

Love

Nora

Nora, I've put him on the Reiki grid, and sending love to you both.

Astrid, sesame seeds / sesame butter (tahini) and hummus contain loads of useable calcium. Also dark leafy greens like kale and spinach. You probably already know this.

My mom's doctor told her she has 'young bones' because she has always worked so hard... Ulli, your hip-smacking idea is good. And visualization! I never thought of doing that, but of course it has a positive effect. Thanks for the visuals.

Welcome, Rainbowbrite!

Hello, beautiful villagers!

Welcome to your Here and Now. This thread can be a great reminder how to remain anchored in immediate reality.
Mine is middle of the night, in bed, tapping on my iPad. The only noise coming from the roaring river outside...as the rainy season has begun with heavy downpours during afternoons, and now the surrounding mountains are sending all that water down into our valley from where it is rushing over billions of rocks towards the Atlantic coast.

[astrid]

Yes yes yes, i do all the above.
The test was more to get a base line.
My mother has osteo, and i went into early menopause at 37,
which is a big danger for bone loss, added to that i wont take HRT.
BUT, in my 20s and 30s i was a gym junkie and did weights all the time, lucky for me it turns out,
as having good muscle mass helps to keep your bones healthy.

Yes i have loads of greens and picked fresh with my green smoothies in the morning,
i have both Kale and Spinach seedlings ready to plant right now.
And also i take good protein sources both Chlorella and Spirulina. I'm sure I'm covered, it was
more a to be sure test as its one of the few things i have to keep an eye on with my health.

I'm trying to up my plant Estrogens atm with more flaxseed oil, as i know my levels are
pretty low. It's tricker when it happens to you under 40 as it can have all sorts of side effects
other than the standard post meno ones. Hormones are needed for general health and not
just repro health.

[Rainbowbrite]

Thank you and Marianne for the welcome. I agree - this is a great anchoring excersise! Noticing the details that i would otherwise have missed was fascinating. Life can be overwhelming stimulus at times and there is so much wisdom in doing this, i do not do it enough! Something to work with moment to moment.

I love the description of your immediate reality. Gave me some great visuals! Beautiful, nourishing connectedness through water - thank you all.

Welcome Rainbow, i hope you like your stay here,
its a place like no other,

Astrid, I didn't know flaxseed oil is good for plant estrogen ... another reason I'm glad I take it. It's good for so much.
You sound like you've got it covered! Maybe this info will be helpful to others reading the thread.

Be careful not to let my here and now take you out of your here and now...Lol
Btw, I really like your three slurps dog even though I'm a cat. I guess he has to pause briefly to grab some air

[astrid]

Ok, nearly done with mundane tasks.
Next to prep for some journeying,
which means lots of space clearing,
showering and then creating sacred space
and ask my helpers to join me, in whatever is on the
agenda for the night.
Energy tonight feels particularly " right" for
playing and working in altered states.

Off to prep, see you all on the other side.

Foods high in phytoestrogen content



I can't do soy it really bloats me,
ugh.. so flax it is for me.

We actually have a producer really close to where I'm living,
organic cold pressed oils, so pretty lucky on that front.
You have to keep it in the fridge too as its not a very stable oil,
and never heat it, or use it for cooking. It destroys it.

Thanks - i am indeed enjoying my time in this village, already feels a little like home - the sense of community is great and good vibes abound

Also - the list you've posted on foods rich in phytoestrogens is invaluable and posted with great timing! Thank you!

[astrid]

Timing is always perfect in the village

Hello, beautiful villagers!

Hey Nora, I sent a prayer to White Tail, too, and as I always do when I work with animals, I requested the attention of St. Francis of Assissi. Love and Mercy and health to White Tail!

Nora i'm thinking of you and your dog!

At the same time I'm slowly realizing i probably have borrelia=lymedisease. I've got several symptoms like extreme fatigue, increased bodytemperature without having a cold, itching eyes, a lot of mucus, no appetite, depression and panicattacks among other things. I've browesed the internet for information. I had two tick bites this summer but never noticed any rash more than irritded skin as i tried to get the ticks head out. I never connected the stomach problems i started to have even before the cold and sinusitis that now have developed into many strange symptoms. I've been checking out all possibilities to get the proper cure since that's difficult to get in Sweden and i'm starting to take a homeopatic remedy from tuesday on. It cured my friend who got a tick bite and an extreme severe borrelia some years ago. If it doesn't help i'm having an appointment in one month to see an expert on the island Åland (belongs to Finland but they talk Swedish) near my fathers place.

I'm peeping in now and then but don't have the energy to go into heavy subjects and perhaps not too funny ones either.
I'm looking forward to be cured and to become my old self again.

Just throwing out a bone based on *one* of your symptoms ... remembering some great information posted by Dawn.

If you have the strength to get your dance on ... perhaps it will help???

Posted by Dawn (here)
I have a friend who went to India last year and spent 9 days in an ashram with a guru, who's message was about moving to the beat. In her stay she was required to stand in the presence of dance music, with a rhythmic beat, and shake or move for 8 (!) hours daily. She said that her body released 'tons' of mucus, that she didn't even know was there, during her 9 day stay. She also lost 12.5 pounds. She is in her 70s, and losing weight, or moving for 8 hours straight, is usually not done by people in this age bracket.

I also have another wonderful friend who is 74 and dances every Friday night until after midnight. It is the highlight of her week. She just sent me a video and, frankly I was very surprised at the information it contains. Seems TPTB have been busy, banning dancing and drumming, in many countries around the globe. Could this repression of dance and drumming, which re-connects circuits all over the body, be one reason why people have trouble awakening? What better way to gum up the body than to ban natural movement.

Here's the video. The first half is a very interesting history lesson about this, the second half is music and dancing.
