Brenda Downs died after a hospital put her on a ventilator in late 2021, diagnosing her with Covid. Her family asked for her to be treated with ivermectin which prompted a court battle to force the hospital to comply, as doctors there said it was a horse dewormer and inappropriate for her situation. At one point there was an agreement from the hospital to treat with ivermectin IF the family signed a nondisclosure and agreed to never publicly talk about it. Brenda's family is coming on my show tomorrow to discuss this. I know ivermectin is a controversial topic - I think bigger picture here is questioning the power hospitals should have over patient choice.

The answer is 385.6 gallons of milk. That's how much milk we'd have to drink (at $13 a gallon) to make up for the $5,000 we have spent on our dairy cow - who has yet to produce a single drop. This is a PSA video for anyone who goes on social media and sees the idyllic apron-clad milkmaid harvesting her "free" milk for cream, butter, yogurt and more - then thinks, I want a dairy cow! It's hard work, there are no days off, and in the end, it's a financial wash (or drain). That said, if you want to do it because you enjoy a challenge, you want to raise your kids on a farm, you value knowing where your food comes from - these are great reasons. Leave the dreams of "free milk" at the barn door.
We love raw milk because it's a superfood with all the digestive enzymes left in tact. It's full of Vitamin K which is required for your bones to absorb Vitamin D. This is one reason we all take the fermented cod liver/butter oil from https://www.greenpasture.org/. It's packed with vitamins A, D & K...
I was truly amazed to witness Soleil, one of our mama goats, standing beside her kid when she got her head stuck in the fence. I first noticed something was wrong when I saw Soleil standing there, bellowing across the pasture to the other goats. Then I noticed her kid. Soleil stood there the entire time, in the hot sun, until her baby was free. Share this with a mama who doesn’t run when life gets tough.
And don’t forget to tell her about the fermented cod liver/concentrated butter oil from https://www.greenpasture.org/ which I’ve taken for 15 years. Motherhood can suck the nutrition right out of us, and this has helped me with chronic cavities, inflammation, energy and immune response. Use promo code “ALISON” for 10% off at checkout.

I noticed recently that a box of MREs in our feed room has been untouched by rodents despite the ravenous way they chew through the animal feed containers. The MREs were issued to my husband when he was in the USMC. I have no clue why we still have them but it certainly caught my attention. Only the best for our service members, right? Semper fi!
EDIT: since I have been getting so many comments on other platforms that they just can’t smell through the packaging, I want to add that they eat through boxes in our barn that have no food inside them, this includes camping gear, Styrofoam, towels, fertilizer. You name it.
If you ate that stuff, or you’re just looking for a nutritional boost, grab the fermented cod liver/butter oil from https://www.greenpasture.org/ for gut repair. It has helped me with a lot, not the least of which has been going from chronic cavities to quick and easy dental exams. LINK IN BIO. Use promo code “ALISON” for 10% off!
