Hello, steemit community! When I have been afflicted with severe auto-immune condition and depression, I was a shadow of my former self. Overweight, lethargic, sleeping 12+ hours and so exhausted I could not even stand for more than 15 min without having to sit down, and more than likely drop off to a nap. That lasted for years, and once I was finally diagnosed doctors only wanted to put me on synthetic hormones for the rest of my life.
I took a different path and opted for a more natural approach. Long story short, I completely recovered despite what doctors told me, and without any side effects their so called "medicine" would have given me. And that last experience finally put me over the top. II always knew people could come up with original solutions to the trickiest life challenges. But after that "healthcare" debacle I realized that if we the people will not take care of ourselves, we will perish. And the most offensive thing is that we will go down believing that the good life we have been promised was just within our reach, but somehow we missed it. Not knowing it was all a big lie, designed to mislead. No one is minding our interest is we do not go after it ourselves.
In my journal here I plan to focus on what I know well: healthy living, natural food and cooking etc. However, I am also interested in social justice and community causes, money and financial matters, business and community building, psychology of growth and change and much more. I expect to be active in great many posts on variety of topics.
I welcome everyone to comment and contribute to discussion, and I do hope to make some good friends.
