Two livestreams, one day! See you tonight!
Dr. John Catanzaro was a naturopathic physician in Bothell, WA when the state suspended him on claims he was misleading cancer patients. He owned the Health and Wellness Institute of Integrative Medicine and Cancer Treatment where he was using what he called a "cancer vaccine" to help patients. The DOH alleged that Dr. Catanzaro neglected to tell some of his patients the treatment was experimental. I was a TV reporter in Seattle at the time, assigned to this story at night after his office had closed. We aired the DOH claims without a statement from Dr. Catanzaro and thereby smeared his practice. Later, I interviewed several of his patients who credited him with their lives, and were horrified the state required the destruction of their treatment. But in many ways it was too late, the damage was done.
A couple years ago we discovered wild blackberry plants growing in our back pasture. This year, the harvest was not very large due to the drought. However, it has me thinking, maybe this is the one fruit plant I can actually grow without killing it? When we first moved to Florida a couple years ago, I invested several hundred dollars into trees like a mango tree and a peach tree and an avocado tree. Later I bought a pear tree and a nectarine tree. Sadly, none of them are still alive. I am now hesitant to invest even one dollar into more fruit bearing plants until I figure out why I continue killing them. Anyway, the wild blackberries have inspired me to try that as they seem to be growing here with no care whatsoever. What do you think? Any suggestions on what to try?
Don’t forget to head over to Green Pasture for the fermented cod liver/butter oil blend - one of the best nutritional investments I’ve made for my own health. Full of vitamins, minerals and omega 3s to support ...
This was one of my “rest” days last week. I had to unload 4 bales of hay each weighing 100lbs. Then 6 bags of feed weighing 50lbs. At 44-years old, I love soaking up some natural light while building strength and hope to be doing it many decades from now. I think city folk call this “functional fitness”.
Keep your muscles and bones happy with the fermented cod liver/butter oil I’ve been taking for 15 years to support full body health with omega 3s and more. Go to Green Pasture and use promo code “ALISON” at checkout for 10% off. https://greenpasture.org/
Honest question: did any of y’all know training a dairy cow to be milked can be really hard? I had NO CLUE what I was getting myself into with this one! I truly thought you could just walk up to any cow and they just let you milk them. What a journey this has been. If I charged for my labor per hour what I used to make in TV news, I’d be rolling in milk money by now.
I believe one day we will be milking Maisy. For now, I’m planning to stay the course, slow and steady. Until the day we get our first gallon, I’ll be getting my butter oil from the fermented cod liver blend at Green Pasture! I just went to the dentist yesterday and got a clear check up. No cavities. Hallelujah! Use promo code “ALISON” at check out for 10% off. https://greenpasture.org/
