Today at the store a gentleman was wondering why grass fed meats are better for us than non-grass fed meats. First, grass and range plants were what every meat type animal ate, and has for thousands of years. Naturally they would eat grains in a green state except for a very small part of the year when the grains dried up. The ratio between the Omega 3 and Omega 6 fats is between 1:1 and 1:4 (Omega 3:Omega 6) and is what our body knows how to use. In ordinary store meat, which is fed grains and other “things” in feedlots, the ratio is often 1:6 to 1:18 or more. Our body just doesn’t know how to use the latter diet.
The good ratio is found in grass fed animals including beef, buffalo, lamb, elk, venison, pork, poultry and their products such as eggs, milk, kefir, yogurt and cheese.

Remember when coconut oil was crucified for being so terribly bad for you?
Well, the truth is many people all over the world have used coconut in all its form for thousands of years and don’t have cancer and heart disease and…….
Coconut oil
contains fatty acids just like mother’s milk. Mothers milk keep infants healthy. Coconut oil is anti-viral, anti-bacterial and anti-fungal.
So, take one tablespoon of coconut oil about 4 or 5 times during the day. If you are bigger than average it might be wise to take 2 tablespoons. Eat it off the spoon or melt it and add to orange juice, a smoothie, some mashed up fruit, mixed in yogurt……. You get the idea!
It can be rubbed on the skin of small kids or on someone who just can’t stand it any way you fix it. It is the way I broke my husband’s temperature! Gave him a good back rub, leg rub and any exposed area using plenty of coconut oil!
Another idea for the cough – boil 3 or 4 cups of water. Turn the heat off. Add a rounded tablespoon each of anise seeds and fennel seed. Put pot cover on for about 15 minutes. Hmmmm! It smells good. Strain and drink some. It was a delicious way to quell the coughing
Be sure to just generally drink plenty of water. It seems to thin the mucus some.
Enjoy!
