A Midwifery Nutritional Consultation :)

On Friday I had my first Midwifery Nutrition Consultation. The expectant mother is 8 weeks pregnant and wanting to know what she should do nutritionally to help her baby (and herself) to be as healthy as possible and to give her baby the best start in life.
We had a wonderful time talking and discussing what she can do. She's wanting to be vegetarian and a lot of people had told her that she couldn't get enough protein with a vegetarian diet. After showing her the charts of foods and how much protein they have she saw very clearly that it's easy to get enough protein and all of the other needed nutrients on a vegetarian diet. We had a nice time discussing: meal plans, timing, how to prevent heartburn, good foods for pregnancy, general foods to avoid, etc.
I'm looking forward to working with her throughout her pregnancy and seeing the wonderful results.

Nyah ....my sweet little niece...

After 3 days of early labor and 1 full long day of active labor we were all very very excited for the birth of my second niece: Nyah! She was born October 13th, at 2:13am, and was 7lb 13oz. As not just a midwife but as her sister it was such an incredible blessing to be a part of my sisters first baby's birth.

The first call came Saturday morning at7am...we were in the U.P. for the weekend and I was praying that she wouldn't go into labor until after we came home on Sunday...yet...the call came Saturday morning. After waiting for a few hours...I was happy to inform her that I was quite sure that she truly was in labor. Little did we know what we all had in front of us!!! After making the decision to leave to head down to the lower peninsula and go home so that I could help her we realized that you had to pay to cross the bridge. After praying that the Lord would hold off until we could get there, we decided to spend some wonderful time in worship and nature and then cross the bridge right after sundown. We had the most beautiful sundown worship at the bridge to close the Sabbath and homeward bound we were. After I got there her contractions were about 10-15 apart and I knew we had a long long way to go so I went home to sleep (home is only 7-10 min from her place.) The next day everything was the same...she went in to get checked and was not dilated at all...so on "we" labored.

Monday night as I was on my knees praying beside my bed she called and told me her contractions were 2 min apart and she wanted me to come check her...so I threw some clothes on, gathered my supplies and over I went. To all of our disappointment she was only 2cm. So...on we labored...around 2am her contractions got really close again and she was now 3cm and being a home-birth midwife and not knowing when to normally take someone in, I thought we should take her in. Back to the hospital we went. After another 1.5 hours in triage and them confirming she was 3cm, they suggested she go back home since she wasn't wanting any interventions. Home we went...again!

Up all night long...we were all tired!!! After getting some wonderful counsel from one of my best Midwife counselors I happily gave her some herbs to help her sleep so she could relax...and boy did I ever pray that she'd dilate! Praise the Lord...all she needed was SLEEP!!! After about an hour or more of sleep her contractions picked up really good and fast and she was on her way. The next time I checked her she was 5cm! Were we ever happy. A few hours later she was 6cm...yea!!! You could feel the happiness and excitement! After needing another period of rest I gave her some more herbs and after a little rest they picked up again and before we knew it she was leaking fluid (nice and clear) and she was 8-9cm. Well...maybe it was time to go in????? ;)

We got in for the dreaded triage and I looked at the nurse and informed her that my sister was 8-9cm and there went triage, we got ourselves a nice room :) 4 hours later, a whole lot of support, position changes, and perseverance and my adorable little niece was born! The Lord really led, and am I grateful for His help and leading. (the "short" version ;) ) It was such an incredible blessing to be part of this for my sister. She had a midwifery labor and wonderful natural hospital birth.

Keep checking for more pictures...her Auntie LOVES taking pictures of her!





Nyah...more pictures...

Obesity Epidemic

Amazing! How can this be happening? People around the developed world and especially here in the USA are digging their graves with their teeth and thinking it is part of getting old. But how can that be since younger and younger people are being diagnosed with heat disease, type-II diabetes, obesity and high blood pressure. Sickness is "NOT" part of getting old and "CAN" be reversed.

According to a study led by the John Hopkins University research department, by 2020 about 75% of all Americans will be obese, and by 2030 about 86% will be if the trends stay the same.

By 2015 they have estimated that health-care costs in the United States related to overweight-related issues is forecasted to rise 70%.

The lifespan of someone that is obese is 8-10 years less, which is the same as that of a smoker.

The cause of this, and the rise of other (life-style) diseases such as: heart-disease, diabetes, hypertension, has been related to the decrease in physical activity and the increase consumption of processed foods which are high in fat, sugar, flavor enhancers (excitotoxins), which are making foods addictive.

You don't have to be part of these statistics, by education and lifestyle adjustments you can prevent yourself from being part of these staggering and startling statistics. You can live longer and with an excellent quality of life. Also, avoid the great expense of doctor and hospital bills and have more time with family and loved ones. By investing time and energy now you can save big in the long run.

So please contact us for more information on how you may be victorious in this area of health or visit our website: www.thecreatorsway.com

A good end to our In-Home Lifestyle Program

Whew... what an amazing and busy last 2 weeks!

Today we sent off our new family member back home. She came here as a "client" and left part of the family. Coming here she had a few goals: get off of her insulin, loose weight, learn how to live healthier, get into a good routine, and mainly to get a closer walk with God, plus many more. Praise the Lord, as we did our end evaluation she left having accomplished all of her goals and more. After three days she was off of her insulin, over two weeks she lost 12 pounds, lowered her BP, went from being able to walk only a few minutes and taking each step with pain to being able to walk a mile (up and down hills) with minimal discomfort.

We were all blessed to be able to have her here. A few of us got a cold during this time and so she was able to see practical home healing shown through natural remedies and hydrotherapy.

Below is a picture of Nalani getting her favorite treatment: a hot foot bath :)

Butterflies....

Just a few pictures of our many butterflies that we've "raised" this year...

Today's Program Feature...

"The Lemon Wrap"

Last fall when I was on my way to Montana to help teach a Midwifery seminar, we stopped in South Dakota for the weekend. While there I dislocated several ribs and tore my intercostal muscles (all b/c of coughing.) Praise the Lord that the place that this happened was at a lifestyle center and there were several doctors there to help. One of the kind people helping me thought that I was coughing b/c I had the flu (which I didn't believe was the case, but helpless as I was, I couldn't do too much) and they decided that they would give me a Lemon Wrap Treatment. All I knew was that I didn't have the flu and that I was in the most excruciating pain, even to breathe. After they iced my ribs and back to the point that I was numb they gave me this crazy sounding treatment. In my mind all I could imagine was being all wrapped up in lemons, and that didn't sound too exciting when all I could think about was how much pain I was in and that I really couldn't move.

Then the lady came in to give me the mysterious and strange sounding treatment...

...continued next post...

This Week's Feature ~ Migraine Headaches

Do any of you struggle with Migraine Headaches? If you do you know how horrible and debilitating they can be. My mom and I both have suffered from them. Normally what we would do would be to go to bed and suffer for hours and then wait for a few days for the effects to subside. In the past few years we learned that there are some natural remedies that are available to use for migraines. Since then we have been able to stop several migraines from developing.

At the first sign of a migraine (an aura, numb feeling, pain, etc. ) take Feverfew tea. This is made by putting 1 tsp of feverfew herb in a tea ball or tea bag, with 1 cup of water and simmer for 12 minutes. It is best to drink this right away. Only take 2-3 times per day.

Another remedy for migraines is to get in a hot tub and put ice packs/ ice bags on the persons head and the back of their neck. Keep them well hydrated and in a dark quite room. If one does not have access to a bathtub, use a hot water bottle and put it on their feet and ice on their heads. The ice is for pushing the blood away from the head and the hot water to the feet and body will help to pull the blood to the feet and other areas of the body.

A little recap...

Life has been so busy lately I've not had time to blog..and also, I used to just blog pictures when I didn't have time to write, but I broke my camera so I'm stuck with writing.

We had a great time at camp-meeting and then drove home only to do laundry and some other things at home and leave 12 hours later to head down to Georgia for the SDA General Conference Session in Atlanta.

On our way down here we stopped in northern GA and spent the day yesterday at Tallulah Falls which was just gorgeous. Nalani and I made a record of how many steps we've done in a day. God's creation is just amazing.

Tomorrow we'll be heading to the GC session. :) It's going to be so exciting seeing Adventists from all over the world.

Well...off to experience the adventures for the day... :)

This weeks feature... ~All Purpose Herbal Salve~





We tested this Salve out about a year ago and have used it for many purposes. Some of which are: bug bites, small scrapes and scratches, burns, hives, bruised tendons, muscle aches and pains, etc. It is incredible.

I'll just take a few minutes to share a couple personal testimonies.

Several months ago my dear mother hit the top of her foot on our stoneware pan that was sitting in the middle of the floor. Thinking that she would be fine, she kept walking around finishing packing up the car as we were getting ready to drive a 4-hour trip home. Half-way home she was in so much pain that I had to stop and get ice for her. By the time we arrived near home she decided that I had to take her to the ER to figure out what she had done. After finally managing to get her out of the backseat of the van, and several x-rays and hours waiting, we discovered that she had torn some tendons in her foot. Refusing the medications we drove home after getting a brace and crutches. After arriving home at midnight, I was sent off to the store to get cabbage to put on it as a "natural remedy."

So... off to the store I went...at midnight...

Being how tired I was I decided to try the closest store first...I drove right up to it only to discover that it was closed. I was a bit disheartened but I decided to try the next closest store, which was the opposite way that I would have gone if I had known that would need to go to this store...but off I went...

Oh...wait...I forgot to mention something KEY...before leaving home my mom decided to have me put on some of this "All Purpose Herbal Salve" and then we prayed.

Ok...back to my story...

The second store...after driving another 15 minutes, I pulled up to the second store and my heart sank...it was all dark...and closed.

The next closest store was another 30'ish minutes away...but mom was in excruciating pain (so I thought) and so off to the store I went.

I arrived at the store at about 1am...and Praise the Lord, it was OPEN!!!

I parked really really close to the front, for I do not like being out late at night AT ALL, and prayed and went into the store. As I walked into the store I was SHOCKED to see this sign...

"PRODUCE DEPARTMENT CLOSED"

I couldn't believe it!!! I had driven around for almost the past hour to get cabbage and now I was at the store and I couldn't even get to the cabbage.

As I walked into the store to see why the produce department was closed I noticed that they were doing something with the floors. Over in the distance I saw a man mopping, and knew that he was my only chance at getting the long-sought for cabbage.

Calling out to him: "Hello sir....sir????.... SIR????? SIR...CAN YOU HELP ME PLEASE????"

He FINALLY heard me...oh, yes, relief filled my heart...now I could get the cabbage and go home, help my mom, and hopefully get some sleep.

I'm sure he was shocked at the sight of a young girl in the store at that hour, wanting something from the produce department. He looked at me a bit puzzled when I asked him if he could PLEASE get me a cabbage. I told him how I had been to two other stores and I really needed a cabbage, after a bit of surprise he kindly put his mop down and went and got me my prized cabbage. I happily checked out and then went to go the van. After checking under the van to make sure no-one was hiding under it, I ran and jumped in and started off towards home.

I pulled in the driveway, poor mom was wondering what was taking me sooo long...and so I told her all the details, not realizing that she looked totally peaceful. After telling her my story I commented that she didn't seem to be in pain...

"Well" she said "The pain was completely gone 15 minutes after you left. The salve took all the pain away."

"Oh..." I said...and fell totally silent...the past hour and a half was spent and she didn't even need the cabbage (and she never used it either.)

The next couple of days we put the salve on a few times each day and by the third day she was walking around without the help of the crutches (totally against her "nurses orders" might I add), the doctor had told her that she'd be on crutches for at least 6 weeks with the type of injury she had.

So...we were quite pleased with the salve, to say the least...

That's my story and it's too late to tell the other one so that will have to wait...

So, I would suggest this salve to anyone. We have it with us at all times.

You can order it on our website at: www.thecreatorsway.com.

If you have any questions, let me know... :)


Enjoy!! :)

Natural Remedies...

We're looking for Natural Remedies that people have personally used and what they have used them for. We'd love to hear from you. :)

Here is one that we discovered not long ago:

Tooth-aches and tooth nerve pain - Take dried oregano and put it in a tea-bag or cloth of some sort and place it directly on the area of pain. My mom had so much pain that she was thinking of going into the doctor for it and I ran down to get some oregano and with-in minutes of putting the dried herb on her tooth her pain was gone.
