Healthy House

Let me begin today by sharing a quote from Michael Pollan that resonates deeply with me: “Don’t eat anything your great-great-grandmother wouldn’t recognize as food.” This thought-provoking advice prompts me to reflect on the meals of my childhood, specifically the dishes prepared by my grandmother. Can I recall the flavours, the smells, the warmth of her kitchen? Absolutely! It brings back a flood of memories that transport me to a time when food was as much about nurturing as it was about nourishment.

I've always had a deep-rooted passion for gardening! There's something utterly captivating about witnessing the transformation of plants as they grow and flourish, and I’m continually intrigued by the variety of insects they invite into their world. My affection for greenery extends to houseplants as well; they bring life and vibrancy to indoor spaces.

Water has always fascinated me, it is obviously not only perhaps number one health in natural health, it's number one in life. We must drink pure, clean water to exist. However after 25 years and counting of research into natural health and the consumption of water, I can say there is no conclusion. Whoever you speak to there will never be an agreement on exactly which water to drink, you can see all the different filters and methods.

A few months ago, my beloved feline companion, Felix, fell victim to a vicious attack by another cat, resulting in a painful wound on his ear. To help my furry friend, I rushed him to the veterinarian, hoping for a solution to his suffering. To my surprise, the vet handed me a small bottle of Colloidal Silver Spray, recommending that I apply it to Felix's wound three times a day. Sceptical yet willing to try anything to alleviate Snow's pain, I diligently followed the vet's instructions.

As December rolls around, a familiar sight in many Western homes is the flickering glow of aromatic candles, adding a touch of cosy Christmas magic to the air. However, here in Thailand, a different tradition takes centre stage as incense sticks are lit and placed in ghost houses to invite good luck and appease the spirits. The scent of burning (low-quality) incense wafts through the air, sometimes affecting my breathing as I work.
