This was drafted on 13 June 2011 and it's Amelia's 11th birthday.
I was at Costco and attended the demo conducted by a young man making ice cream. He made the ice cream with strawberries, carrots, cabbage, juice, and ice cubes. Amazingly, within minutes, the ice cream was ready. I tasted it and it was delicious. Almost right away, I bought the Vita Mix blender.
When I got home, I told my husband about the blender and asked him to see the demo. He did the next day and bought the container which grinds dry ingredients.
The kids have slushy almost everyday. This time around, the slushy has more healthy ingredients and no sugar added and artificial colouring. Sometimes grinded flax seeds are added to add more fiber to the drink. The girls don't complain as they don't even notice the difference.
The other wonderful thing that we do with the Vita Mix is to blend onions, garlic, chillies, ginger to a paste. I plan to blend turmeric and cook a Malaysian yellow rice. Turmeric has curcumin which is a very good anti-inflammatory agent. I learned years later from someone that you can add a pinch ground black pepper to boost the effects of the curcumin.

Soy Ice Cream
I finally tried making soy ice cream with xylitol using the ice cream maker, which I bought last July. The soy was organic but the soy cream is not. The ice cream was not successful as I didn't have either correct recipe or the mixture wasn't cold enough when I started using the ice cream maker.
I poured the mixture into the ice cream molds instead and freeze them for tomorrow when the girls come home from school to enjoy as their snacks. I will try making the non dairy ice cream again soon as the weather is warming up to like summer.
My dad and his family used to make ice cream for a living. I remembered seeing the equipment. Regrettably, none of us learned the technique. The ice cream was made manually and there was no machine to help out.

Peter had decided to move away from the city to a smaller town one morning when we were vacationing near Ottawa. We started looking for a house where we were and found a custom built bungalow with walkout basement. It has a great location where boat can be launched from the backyard. The owner was a retired railway engineer who had put in great materials to build this house. Unfortunately, the wifi was too slow for Peter to work at home.
When we returned from our vacation, I started looking and found a wonderful builder in Simcoe. He said the materials we choose for the house are not considered upgrades. It also has a walkout basement. But Amelia was very upset for the move right from the beginning. The reason she didn't want to move to Simcoe was because there was no Starbucks.
The day when we were supposed to sign the contract, the builder hds a family emergency and the meeting was cancelled. Within a week, Peter's company told him that he might be laid off so we had to cancel the sale.
At the same time, Amelia found out that one of her friends came to Nancy Campbell Academy. She told us that she would like to attend this school which she had heard of few years ago when she attended a music camp in London.
Strangely, Peter found out that his company would keep him since the new project didn't work out.. So we started looking again and found a gorgeous house.
Here we are after a year had passed, both our girls could attend the same school, life had really changed I guess for the better for all of us.
Stratford is such a beautiful town and it has amazing theatres. The friends and neighbours are very welcoming and hospitable For a city gal, all my worries about living in a small town had disappeared.
God has been kind to guide us to the right place at the right time. Praise be to God!

Happy New Year 2015!
Another year has gone by so quickly. The girls are now 10 and 14. I am so glad that they have grown up so much, no more diapers, bottle feedings, strollers, car seats, no more all the baby stuff....I am not complaining, it's just that I am relieved that the girls can do many things on their own now.
For a person who is affected by cancer, looking after someone takes a lot of energy out of you, while you need to also take care of your own well-being to survive. I am so thankful for God and also my husband for being there when I needed help to take care of the girls and myself. Thank you God for sending a good husband doing such a great job raising the girls and also taking care of my health.
Rose came for treatment with her son and his fiancee. She introduced Immunocal to us back in September last year when she heard of our PEMF 4000. Immunocal is a great product which does a lot of wonderful things to our body. It not only detoxes, it also boosts your immune system. I get lots of energy and looked younger too. It is also master of antioxidants.
I also would like to thank Rose for her kindness in introducing Immunocal. I will pray for her and wish her speedy recovery, no more excruciating pain in the new year.
I will try to post more on the blog this year. To good health and happiness!

My old friend is coming to visit us in May. I have decided to declutter the house to make her stay more comfortable and also ours.
It was quite a job but once I started, I really felt good. My husband was affected too. He finally cleared lots of recyclable boxes out of the guestroom. I took my time as I didn't want to stress myself out. Stress kills! Avoid it as much as you can.
De-cluttering is also cleansing for our soul, purging our attachments to this material world. It is a very emotional process. Every piece of article has an emotional attachment. My daughter's school artwork, tests, written homework,... bring back lots of memories. Some are good, some are bad, and some very painful.
I learned that when an item has not been used for more than a year, it's high time to give it away or throw it out to recycling or garbage bin.
I still have three weeks left and hope to finish before my friend arrives. We can enjoy the rest of her stay, catching up with our pasts and present.

Today is the last day of February. Another year has gone by. Time really flies!
There are more therapy and supplement to heal cancer. The most recent one is the PEMF (Pulse Electro-Magnetic Field Therapy. I have enclosed an article from the website of the machine which we had bought to explain how the therapy works:
The first PEMF device was called a ‘lightning’ machine for a reason! PEMF works
because it charges up your cells with electricity. Problems that the PEMF treats such as
chronic pain can only happen in areas of low voltage in the body. That is, places where
the cells are low on energy for any number of reasons (injury, fatigue, illness, etc).
A PEMF machine sends extra electrical charge to those low energy areas using magnetic
fields to carry it into the body. Basically, the device send a ‘package’ of energy into the
low energy areas – think of the magnetic field as the envelope and the electricity as the
message! And when the cells receive that electricity they immediately use it to heal the
body – and relief can happen very quickly (within seconds to minutes) depending on the
device.
My husband had a pinched nerve and the acupuncturist used the machine to treat him. I was also treated when he went for his acupuncture appointment. We both felt good after the treatments especially me. The machine has loops and it will detect the ailments if you have any. It is like a magic wand.
You feels the pulse if there is something not right in your body. I felt the pulse when the loop was placed a few inches above my head. The migraine headache disappeared after few minutes. It worked like a miracle.
I had endometriosis when I was 15 years old. When the loop was placed on my abdomen, the pulse went right to uterus. When the loop was placed on my breast, the pulse went right on to the tumour. The machine knows where to treat your body with the pulse.
Since my husband had the pinched nerve, I stopped the intravenous vitamin C therapy, went to the acupuncturist for treatment of my cancer. The machine is not cheap but it works. When my daughter has any kind of muscle discomfort after gymnastic class, the machine relieves her pain. Whenever she has tummy ache, she would lie down on the mattress and felt relief. The machine also heals my husband's numbed toes. The machine is used to treat horses injury. It works wonder for all kinds of inflammation like sprained ankles, knee, and wrist.
I met a nice lady, Rose, who wanted to try the PEMF machine for her 4 years old chronic pain on her neck, shoulder and hip. She was kind to introduce Immunocal supplement which actually heals the body and tumours disappear after taking the supplement 1 packet 3 times a day for 9 months. I confirmed with the company officer about the dosage.
That's all for today. I hope to update more on my next post. To Good health and praise be to God.

Slippery Elm Tea
It's unbelievable!! It has been a year since I posted last. I have decided to lose some weight as I have gained a few pounds. To start the new year, I did the liquid therapy which I label as slippery elm tea.
When I wake up before I eat my breakfast, I would drink the Essiac tea. Usually, I would go to washroom half an hour later. I would have a big cup of warm water.
The next drink is the organic slippery elm warm tea with raw honey, 1 teaspoon each. This will have to be taken half an hour later. If you can wait an hour later the effect is even better.
The therapy is that simple. I would eat my breakfast after that. Since I started the therapy, I lost around 6 to 8 lbs. I also noticed that after my skating lesson, I lost another 2 lbs. I weighed myself before the class and after.
I am pretty impressed with the therapy. I have more energy and look glowing. Life is good.
