My "You Can Do This" Project Video


I posted late due to technical issues and work, but I'm really excited about this project! And if you happen to be a Packers fan, please realize I was using your fanaticism as a positive example! Same goes for all you Speed Metal enthusiasts!

Diabetes makes us feel all sorts of things, including but not limited to; frustrated, crappy, annoyed, angry, overwhelmed sad, alone, hopeless & different. But here's the thing, YOU CAN DO live this diabetes life, and YOU are NOT alone!

When Kim Vlasnik from TextingMyPancreas, came up with the concept for the "You Are Can Do This" Project, I was impressed beyond belief.

The following is my video submission for the project & I really hope you get something out of it.
It's a one shot (because I've attempted to tackle editing yet) and it's far from being perfect.
It's not terribly pretty, but I'm speaking from my heart and I stand by what I say - And Kim's fabulous words & concept!

We (YOU) can do this & WE are NOT ALONE!!

AND WE ROCK!

Et Tu, CVS?" I Can't Believe Your Hocking The Diabetes Bible Cure Crapulance! Give Us A Break - And Some Respect!!!

"Et Tu CVS?"


"Et Tu, CVS?"

Your carrying this piece of crap Diabetes Bible Cure book I wrote about yesterday and taking money from your diabetic customers?? How could you?

Side Bar: Yesterdays post received a tremendous amount of responses for the the DOC - thanks guys!!

Ok, I have to admit, I thought seeing that book at ShopRite pharmacy was a fluke. I needed to see a Dr. on a Saturday and ShopRite had a Minute Clinic and pharmacy on the premises.
Yes I was annoyed and disgusted when I saw the Diabetes Bible Miracle Cure on display, but I thought, no way would CVS, my regular pharmacy hock such crap!

I mean, just two short months ago I received a Press Release from a PR person hired by CVS, waxing poetic about CVS Extra Care Advantage for those of us with "the betes," and how people should talk with their CVS Pharmacists in order to save money on diabetes meds, supplies, and the likes there off.

I'll admit it, I'm a fan of CVS bucks and was happy to hear I'd be double my bucks just for being a PWD. I was all, "YAY CVS for finally getting some money (instead of spending it) just for having diabetes."

Your my pharmacy of choice, and I was royally pissed off when I walked into your pharmacy today (on my lunch break) and saw that you peddle this tripe to your diabetic customers.

On one hand, you pitch the Diabetes Bloggers on how your trying to help people with diabetes, and on the other hand you pitch "miracle cure" books to the diabetic masses. Either way, your profiting from us. So why not do the right thing and ditch the miracle cures and focus on being HEALTHY, making sure people take the right meds, and take the $$ you've made off this crappy book and donate it to research for a diabetes cure?

I'm seriously considering switching pharmacies- because honestly, I find this book to be so reprehensible and dangerous and firmly believe that no self respecting pharmacy should be selling this book.

If any of my readers tweet, let @simplyCVS that you don't like what they're selling.
Or give CVS corporate a ring at: Phone: 401-765-1500 and tell them in person!

Trapped Fingers: a rapid cure with Homeopathy

Trapped Fingers: a rapid cure with Homeopathy
It was a lovely day, with 5 of our grandchildren (aged 6,6,5,4,and 3) playing in the house. The play got more boisterous and excited. A door was slammed. A short delay. Then a shriek of pain. The 3 year old, who was joining in, and having a lovely time, had trapped his fingers. His mum held him, and ran his fingers under cold water. I fetched an Arnica 30c, and popped it in his mouth. He would not show his hand, it was too painful, and so it was wrapped in a cold flannel.

Within minutes of taking the Arnica, his crying reduced, and his breathing got back to normal. I remembered that Hypericum was a remedy that was good for trapped fingers and gave him one. Five minutes later, he was calmer, and sleepy. We were concerned that he may have broken his fingers, but it seemed better that he should rest. Before he dropped off I gave him another Arnica. He slept quietly for about 2 hours.

When he woke, he was happy to let us see his hand. His fingers were a little swollen, and the bruising was there, plain to see. But he seemed okay. Soon, he wanted to get down, and he sat on and rode a toy fire engine.  He gripped the steering wheel with both hands. No broken fingers, just a little boy playing, almost as if he had not trapped his fingers.

Sometimes, Homeopaths can get blasé about the power of Homeopathy. At times like this it shows us just how remarkable it can be.
