At Age 67, Margie Burton Lost 105 Pounds & Got Off 15 Medications

Her sister Helen’s story of reversing diabetes: https://discoveringthewordofwisdom.co…

Margie began her Plant-based journey nearly 10 years ago when her gym coach commended her for trying to get healthy, but told her exercise was not the way to lose weight. She nearly dropped her 5-lb weights on her toes as they suddenly felt like 50 pound weights… “Why am I struggling through this if this is not what I need to do to lose weight??” she thought. The gym coach continues. “See me after class if weight-loss is your goal.”

Margie had struggled with weight her entire life, known as “thunder-thighs” as a child among her peers. She tried every diet out there, including most well-known programs. All helped her lose some weight, but nothing sustained the losses. After struggling with health issues including trigeminal neuralgia, fibromyalgia, cluster migraines, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, myofascial pain syndrome, Chronic Fatigue, and going through some 20+ major surgeries, she became desperate for help. Her final year of teaching was done with the help of a walker. She knew her prescription coverage would be impacted when she turned 65 and her 16+ prescriptions could cost thousands of dollars a month. So at the age of 64 she decided to join the gym for the first time in her life. She hoped to be healthier in one year’s time.

Her gym coach became her plant-based mentor as she learned a new plan to eat for health. Join her as she shares the journey of what she discovered in that year. Margie cares for her developmentally disabled autistic sister who found her type 2 diabetes was cured eating only plants. Her sister’s child-like responses to her plant-eating journey will be shared as well.

Margie has been passionate about Emergency preparedness for most of her life. She and her husband, Jim, have been active with numerous fire departments as CERT (Community Emergency Response Team) volunteers as well as active HAM radio operators, assisting during community events and natural disasters.

Margie has presented Emergency Preparedness church and community workshops for many years and is happy to share what she has learned, particularly with regard to what food items to include in your emergency kit evacuation bag.

HNH 30 SECOND SALSA (Mexican Stew Recipe)

[Ed: Found this powder salsa seasoning mix at the county fair decades ago. It is called HNH 30 SECOND SALSA. It’s amazing!

***************

Mexican Stew Recipe

INGREDIENTS:

* 1# stew meat cut into small cubes.

* [Ed: For the vegans among us substitute cubed tofu, or lentil beans, or pre-soaked & drained soy curls, or mushrooms, or walnuts, or noodles, or shredded jackfruit – pulsing drained canned jackfruit in food processor with a large blade until shredded. Then cook in crock or skillet until dry, adding just enough veggie broth to prevent sticking.]

* 1 med onion, chopped

* 1 can diced Rotel or like product, do not drain

* 1 can water

* 2 scoops HNH 30 Second Salsa

* 3 med potatoes cubed

INSTRUCTIONS:

Cook in crock pot on low for 8 hours

(We aren’t crazy about chunks of tomato so I put the Rotel and the 2 scoops of HNH in a blender for a few seconds)

Dr Peter Gøtzsche exposes big pharma as organized crime

April 1, 2015 (pre-pandemic)

Gøtzsche, MD is a Danish medical researcher, and leader of the Nordic Cochrane Center at Rigshospitalet in Copenhagen, Denmark. He has written numerous reviews within the Cochrane collaboration.

Dr.Gøtzsche has been critical of screening for breast cancer using mammography, arguing that it cannot be justified; His critique stems from a meta-analysis he did on mammography screening studies and published as Is screening for breast cancer with mammography justifiable? in The Lancet in 2000. In it he discarded 6 out of 8 studies arguing their randomization was inadequate.

In 2006 a paper by Gøtzsche on mammography screening was electronically published in the European Journal of Cancer ahead of print. The journal later removed the paper completely from the journal website without any formal retraction. The paper was later published in Danish Medical Bulletin with a short note from the editor, and Gøtzsche and his coauthors commented on the unilateral retraction that the authors were not involved in.

In 2012 his book Mammography Screening: Truth, Lies and Controversy was published. In 2013 his book Deadly Medicines and Organized Crime: How Big Pharma has Corrupted Healthcare was published.
