vitamin B6

this little beauty is good for all sorts of things. here is the long list of ailments vit. b6(pyridoxine) helps control or heal. hypertension, nervousness, cancer immunity, allergies, arthritis, asthma, acne, eczema, kidney stones, and pms (can i get an amen on this one). vitamin b6 is involved in more body functions that almost any other single nutrient. the foods that have the highest amounts of vitamin b6 are brewers yeast, carrots, chicken, eggs, fish, meat, peas, spinach, sunflower seeds, walnuts, and wheat germ. if these foods in large quantities are not your bag of than a supplement is the way to go.

on another note...vitamin d that i shared with you last week should not be taken at the same time as a magnesium supplement. it does not hurt you, just decreases the effectiveness of a magnesium supplement if taken at the same time. in combination with vitamin b6 it works to reduce and disolve calcium phosphate kidney stones. please also note that you should always follow the dosage that is given on the supplement that you choose to take and make sure that the daily value is somewhere around 100%. some supplements have a very large daily value and are made for temporary use in battling certain diseases. you do not want to take those for everyday use.

can anyone relate?



i do not know what is more disturbing.
  • this is four days of laundry at my house. yes it only took four days to dirty this much laundry.
  • i have spent the last two days chained to the laundry room washing it all (those piles you see, some of them are over 5 feet tall).
  • and yes there is still more to do. is there ever a time when there is not laundry to do?

garlic really?

so about three weeks ago this common wart (that is such a gross word) appeared on my right ring finger knuckle. so i let it go for a couple of weeks really wondering if it was a wart or if it was just a cut that had gotten infected. to make a long story short, i bought a book last week that i have been glued too since in came in the mail. is is called prescription for nutritional healing. the book it gives all kinds of advice on how to heal naturally. so i looked up that common wart and guess what it said...garlic. fresh garlic crushed and only on with wart. cover it with a band aid for 24 hours and the wart will blister and peal off. i will tell you that when i took off my bandage the wart was already significantly smaller. i will let you know what happens with the blister. i just think that it is so cool that God has given us so many things to heal simple common aliments. i love doctors, have many of them as personal friends, and they are truly amazing, but isn't it nice for the simple things to take care of them at home. who has some natural healing tips they want to share?

Vitamin D

( the above picture is the kids supplement that we use)

i am a vitamin and herb kind of girl. we take them at our house on a daily basis. i really try to encourage as much natural healing with our family as possible. we regularly see our chiropractor and we take vitamins. in general i would consider our family very healthy. praise the Lord, we have never had any major illness to deal with and i take absolutely no credit for that blessing. i do know that taking vitamins and herbs aids in the health of families but God is the ultimate physician and controls all things.


i have talked about my husbands great aunt and uncle before. aunt martha was a huge advocate for vitamins and herbs (she lived to be 90). there are many other stories like hers that indicate a healthy life involved healthy eating and taking care of your body by not over using conventional medicine.


do not get me wrong. if anyone in our family requires an antibiotic to heal correctly, we take it, and are thankful that the medicine is available to us.


in an effort to keep myself and you informed of the vitamins that seem to be most beneficial i am going to post about one supplement a week. i am not an expert, only a girl that does alot of research.


vitamin d is a great supplement to take in the fall and winter months when it is cloudier and colder outside. in the spring and summer the sun provides us with larger quantities of vitamin d. it is called the sunshine vitamin and aids in cardiovascular support, immune support, healthy brain function, muscle and bone health, and energy and vitality. i do not take vitamin d in the summer and spring when i am outdoors and getting plenty of natural vitamin d. in the winter i think it keeps us healthier and up and running at a more efficient pace. if you are taking a multivitamin check to see the amount of vitamin d in it. surprisingly some multivitamins do not contain vitamin d. if it has it look at the percentage. you may need to just get a booster that gives you the amount that you need to reach 100% in a day. or eat more yogurt. it has vitamin d, or drink vitamin d milk (just limit your fat content elsewhere).


ps...i give the children a vitamin d supplement too. they make a kids dosage that can be purchased at your healthfood store or on vitamins.com called vitamin d rex.
on another note...vitamin d should not be taken at the same time as a magnesium supplement. it does not hurt you, just decreases the effectiveness of a magnesium supplement if taken at the same time. please also note that you should always follow the dosage that is given on the supplement that you choose to take and make sure that the daily value is somewhere around 100%. some supplements have a very large daily value and are made for temporary use in battling certain diseases. you do not want to take those for everyday use.


let me know if this is helpful information.


more to come on supplements next week.
