Atheist in the Forest.

He ran as fast as he could along the path.
He looked over his shoulder and saw that the bear was closing on him ....

He looked over his shoulder again, and the bear was even closer ....
and then.. He tripped and fell.

Rolling over to pick himself up, he found the bear was right on top of him, reaching toward him with its left paw.. raising the right paw to strike..

At that instant the Atheist cried out, 'Oh my God!'
Time Stopped, The bear froze, The forest was silent...
A bright light shone upon the man, and a voice came out of the sky...

"You deny my existence for all these years, you teach others that I don't exist and even credit creation to cosmic accident, do you expect me to help you out of this predicament? Am I to count you as a believer?"

The atheist looked directly into the light, It would be hypocritical to ask you to treat me as a Christian now, but perhaps you could make the Bear a Christian?"

a pause... "Very well," said the voice..
The light went out. The sounds of the forest resumed..
And the bear dropped his right arm.. brought both paws together,
bowed his head and spoke, Lord, bless this food, I'm about to receive.
Amen.

Hehe.......Gary

Of course our children are perhaps our most special "possession" - strong word, but that's how it often looks - and they are so precious and vulnerable that we would do anything to keep them from harm or letting them experience pain.

With so many virulent bugs out there in the wide world what can we do to keep them strong and healthy?

I won't go into the debate of vaccinations here, but I had an interesting conversation with a Dr(GP from down country) who advises her patients against them in general, and in a recent QRA training workshop we were able to demonstrate how much of an affect vaccines can have on a myriad of issues in the body - so like I say, I won't go into that here.

I had a recent case where my 9 month old grand daughter came down with an ear ache, little Ruby was obviously not very comfortable and a visit to the Dr confirmed the "earache" and as expected she was correctly prescribed antibiotics.
Thankfully, her Mum through her wisdom(and a little input from me) chose not to fill the script and administered some good old fashioned herbal remedies that gave Ruby instant relief!

We need to begin to trust that if something has been around a long time, and stood the test of time it does not need to become obsolete just because there is some fancy new drug that is now available.

Had Ruby been given the antibiotics I am almost certain she would have started on a vicious cycle of antibiotic induced weakness as a result of a critically damaged gut flora, simple herbs worked for her and they can work for you too. Something I have seen way too many times over the years is the cycle of illness - antibiotics - short term wellness - returned illness - more antibiotics...etc etc.

So, gut ecology is number one and when it comes to our immune system and that of our little ones this is so important, a course of antibiotics for an infant has the potential to create a long term weakness.
Our immune system and its initial surveilance starts in the gut, the term sometimes used is GALT - Gut Associated Lymphoid Tissue - we have a huge surface area here where the "rubber meets the road so to speak - this is where our body comes in contact with the environment and it covers a very big area. Many of you will be familiar with some of the figures. The skin has a surface area of 10m2, lungs have a surface area of 140m2 and the digestive tract has a surface area of 320m2 and for this reason it is a primary aspect of good health.
There are more bacteria in the gut than total cells in the body - and that's alot! In a healthy gut we would have a 100 trillion micro-organisms made up of over 400 known beneficial species!

The 4 R's for G.I health are:

• Remove - remove toxins, pathogens, antigens - to be healthy we need to reduce all the bad guys
• Repair - a disrupted Gut mucosa - illness, bugs and toxins can weaken the gut lining - leaky Gut syndrome
• Replace - digestive factors - without some basic nutrients including zinc and B vitamins we don't produce very efficient digestive juices.
• Reinoculate - healthy bowel flora - an abundance of the good guys is always going to give your system a better chance - simply put, its a numbers game.
   

So what is it that we can do? When you start to feed your baby other than breast milk try to keep it simple, and where possible minimally processed. Vegetables in the raw form will supply many of the basic requirements, vitamins and minerals as well as beneficial enzyme activity - a baby will not be able to process heavy proteins such as meats efficiently so you may as well keep them out for as long as you can - a majority of the global population live on vegetarian diets and still develop perfectly healthy. Gently cooked vegies are also going to supply an abundance of minerals and fibres along with the important phyto-nutrients that are co-factors in many areas of health.

If your little one is a fussy eater, consider a product such as the InLiven probiotic superfood from Miessence, this powder on its own has a concentrated hit of food sourced nutrients and in a way is a powerful:

• Multi-vitamin
• Multi-mineral
• Multi-amino acid
• Mulit-enzyme
• Multi-probiotic

All in one product! Add it to food or into a drink of juice or smoothie and you are covering so many bases. It could make a huge difference to both yourself and the wellbeing of your little ones.
