Meet Brenna. She has hyperthyroidism.
Brenna is one of our rescues. We're not sure how old Brenna is but my guess is that she's around 5 or 6 and could even be older. We call her the baby because she's our littlest cat and because she loves to be held and carried around like a baby. She even puts her head on our shoulder! She's just so adorable!
Since Brenna has come to live with us (I think it's been 3 or 4 years now) she's been on a raw food diet. She's always been wiry, a bit crazy and thin. We wondered why she was always thinner than our other cats.
Brenna has hyperthyroidism and is the reason why she's thin. She's been to the vet and a vet specialist, and we even had a phone consultation with Dr. Gerry Buchoff at Holistic Pet Care in Little Falls, NJ (www.holisticpetcarenj.com), all of whom recommended Radioactive Iodine Therapy. I've also done some research on hyperthyroidism in cats and almost everyone recommends it. We almost had the procedure done but we had to cancel. I'm glad we did.
To make a long story short, Brenna was on thyroid medication prescribed by a vet for a couple of years. But now she's taking BestLife4Pets Hyperthyroid Weight Support for Cats (www.bestlife4pets.com) and has been on it for about a month or a little longer. From what I read about it, it's homeopathic medicine, and it seems to be helping. I've noticed that Brenna is not pacing like she used to and she seems to be able to sleep better. She also doesn't drink as much water. In fact, I rarely see her at the water bowl fountain. She still has her playful and crazy moments and is the world's best lap cat. We'll see how she does as time goes on but for now, Brenna seems to be doing well and is content.

A Talk About ASEA: An amazing product that needs to be talked about!
ASEA has been a staple in my home since March 2013. I'd say that's long enough to trust and believe in a product and the company that created and makes it. ASEA has been a godsend and an answer to prayer for the past 10 years.
ASEA is a unique Redox Signaling supplement that works at the cellular level. What does that mean? The best way to understand what that means is to watch the videos on our website.
ASEA is the only product I know of that does what it does and is what it is. And now ASEA offers other supplements and skin care products as well!
Check out our website at www.richsmall.myasealive.com for videos, documents, studies and information about their Redox Signaling technology.
You can place an order on our website or feel free to contact me at lsmallnaturals@gmail.com. It's best to commit to taking ASEA for 3 months in order to give it the time it may need to work in your body. Because it works at the cellular level, you may not notice an significant changes or "feel" like it's working but that doesn't mean it isn't working. It will go to the most needed part of the body first.
Some people who start taking ASEA notice anything within 30 minutes while others may not notice anything for a month or months. Be patient, give it time. An since ASEA offers a 30 day money back guarantee, what do you have to lose?

People Pleasing - From the series, Narcissism, Scapegoating and Gaslighting, 10-13-2022
The People Pleasing characteristic in a person reveals a lot in the way someone was treated as a child. Being a people pleaser means you put others before yourself. So, what happens when you're in need? When you're sick or going through a tough time, are others there for you? Do others still expect you to be there for them? And do you expect yourself to be?
Saying no when no is warranted is not wrong. If someone gets angry at you for saying no or doesn't want to continue a relationship with you because of it, then you can be certain that this is God's way of weeding them out of your life. Yes, it can be painful, but it can also be a relief. Our responsibility is not to get everyone to like us and to make them happy. Our responsibility is to do God's will. And sometimes doing God's will goes against what even we want. Let's not be a slave in our minds to things that oppress us. Someone can physically be oppressed but oppression in the mind is quite different. No one can be forced into oppression in his or her mind. That's our choice and no one can take away that kind of freedom.

Symptoms & Causes of Inflammation - How I Strengthened My Immune System After Cancer
In 2004 I was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer. I had one chemotherapy treatment and then, after learning from a medical doctor who also had breast cancer, I drastically changed my course of treatment.
This video is on Inflammation. Inflammation, like a fever, alerts us to let us know that something is wrong. Common symptoms of inflammation are pain, fatigue and swelling but there are others. Inflammation is visible on the outside of the body (like when you sprain your ankle and it gets red, hot and swells up). But inflammation inside the body isn't visible and many times it goes un or misdiagnosed. How do you know if inflammation is a problem for you? Are you deficient in certain nutrients like magnesium, vitamin B or vitamin D? Pay close attention to your body and when your doctor orders bloodwork, make sure they are checking levels for the right things.

Where Does Your Food Come From? - How I Strengthened My Immune System After Cancer
In 2004 I was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer. I had one chemotherapy treatment and then, after learning from a medical doctor who also had breast cancer, I drastically changed my course of treatment.
This video is, Where Does Your Food Come From? It's so important to know where your food comes from and who is producing it. It's also important to trust the stores (and farmers) you're buying from. Food that is grown without pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, growth hormones, antibiotics, artificial colors, flavorings and preservatives are not what God intended for us. They make us sick. Just look around and see how many people are taking prescription drugs for all sorts of maladies. It's not a coincidence.
Pantry Makeover II - How I Strengthened My Immune System After Cancer
In 2004 I was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer. I had one chemotherapy treatment and then, after learning from a medical doctor who also had breast cancer, I drastically changed my course of treatment.
This video is on Pantry Makeover. I consider my refrigerator and freezer part of my pantry. I have complete control over what I put into my pantry. If you have children, they can only eat and drink at home what you put in the pantry. Never go food shopping on an empty stomach. Keep your pantry organized and instead of buying a large food order, try and buy what you need as you go. It might mean more trips to the store but it will cut down on spoiled food, and your food will be fresher.

Pantry Makeover - How I Strengthened My Immune System After Cancer
In 2004 I was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer. I had one chemotherapy treatment and then, after learning from a medical doctor who also had breast cancer, I drastically changed my course of treatment.
This video is called Pantry Makeover. It's not very drastic or exhaustive because I don't want anyone to be discouraged. When I first cleaned out my pantry, I threw just about everything away and started from an empty pantry. I didn't want anything in my pantry (refrigerator/freezer) that wasn't organic, heavily processed, artificial or laden with toxins so, I had to learn what should and shouldn't be in my pantry. After all, I was recovering from cancer.
In this video, I give you important information to get started on your new journey of health. However, if you are currently dealing with disease, the first thing you want to do is change your mindset. Your mindset is what drives your actions. The next thing to do immediately is remove sugar and white flour from your pantry and your diet to starve the disease. The second thing you'll want to do is rid your pantry from anything that's processed, has artificial anything and isn't organic. Hydrate your body well with clean water and even use a filter in your shower. Then, get yourself on a healthy vegan diet that includes lots of fresh organic vegetable juice! There's much more and much explanation so if you are interested in getting well, you can contact me for more information.
Blessings and good health!
