What You Need to Know About Wheat Today

2/12/2015

I have been reading about the grain, wheat, for a while now. There are stories all over the internet about it. Apparently agri-business has genetically modified the original wheat grain so much that our bodies almost don't even recognize it as food......and as a result, we do not get much nutrition from eating it.

To add insult to injury, consuming this new GMO wheat has also been found to be linked to a myriad of illnesses, such as dementia, heart disease, arthritis, cataracts, obesity, intestinal problems, irritable bowel syndrome, food intolerances and bloating.

Easy Homemade Antiseptic Salve

Yesterday while working in the yard I somehow manages to impale my finger on a big splinter of wood. After scaring my husband to death when I came in the house with blood all over my hand, I proceeded to the bathroom to clean and dress the wound. First I stuck the finger under running water, gently pushing around it to see if there were any wood splinters in the wound. When I didn't see any, I proceeded to pat it dry and then pour alcohol over it. (ouch!) Then I pulled out my jar of antiseptic salve and dabbed it on the wound. That is when I occurred to me that I should share my homemade salve recipe with you all. Unfortunately, my finger was too sore to do any typing yesterday. It is better today, but still a bit sore.
