A burglar broke into a house one night. He shined his flashlight around, looking for valuables. And when he picked up a jewelry box to place in his sack, a strange, disembodied voice echoed from the dark saying:

"Jesus is watching you."

He nearly jumped out of his skin, clicked his flashlight off, and froze. When he heard nothing more after a bit, he shook his head, then clicked the light on and began searching for more valuables. After just a few seconds, clear as a bell, he heard:

"Jesus is watching you."

Freaked out, he shined his light around frantically, looking for the source of the voice. Finally, in the corner of the room, his flashlight beam came to rest on a parrot.

"Did you say that?" He hissed at the parrot.

"Yep," the parrot confessed, then squawked, "I'm just trying to warn you."

The burglar relaxed. "Warn me, huh? Who in the world are you?"

"Moses," replied the bird.

"Moses?" The burglar laughed. "What kind of people would name a bird Moses?"

Suddenly, he felt a giant shadow materializing behind him.

"The kind of people who would name a Rottweiler Jesus."

So folk are asking me why recently I am pushing such things as Healthy foods and beverages on a bookshop thread?, well I will explain.......
I used to live the dream in Pattaya and do most if not all the things that I may have been advised against? 
Anyway about 7 yrs ago I started getting weaker and after some more progression I went for some Tests as I knew something was wrong? Iam now 60 yrs old.
The test results came back as early stage Myositis (IBM)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inclusion_body_myositis

At first I read up on it, no treatment and no cure, typical, trust my luck....anyway from back then and the slow progression I am now in a wheelchair and along with the illness a few more complications follow.

Life without stairs and falling over is not an option are things to remember, I cant do stairs or even steps higher than a couple of inches, falling over is one of the common issues with IBM due the the weakness and things like drop foot, also as you don't have the strength in your arms - shoulders to stop you banging your head when you fall and the danger of breaking bones as you don't have the protection of muscles etc and the last thing you need is a broken arm etc.

Other frustrating issues such as my esophagus (swallowing reflex) is weak and shuts down at night so I have to sleep on my side with my head facing down as my saliva runs out onto a towel on my pillow, if on my back my saliva goes into my windpipe and I wake up chocking.

This can also cause dehydration which is another problem related to the water retention, taking Diuretics, can help but getting the balance is tricky as you either dehydrate your system and this can cause constipation issues and headaches which effect my cognitive reactions or too much water tends to fill my legs up and I spend the night peeing and disrupting my sleep.

Also the lack of circulation in my legs and feet mainly due to lack of movement, exercise etc even here in this climate I get freezing cold feet.

So way back I stopped going out drinking and abusing my body while living the dream here in Pattaya and was determined to stay off the med's although there is no treatment the Dr's give you pain killers and anti inflammatory etc but I did not want to become a life long customer to big pharma so I started to study alternatives and with Google nowadays is a great tool for that.

I started to read amongst other things Turmeric, Garlic, Ginger, Honey, Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) and started adding them naturally into my diet, a great thing re Pattaya - Thailand all these healthy herbs etc are readily available and from the farmers markets locally so I got right into it.

I noticed my breathing improved, I also started regular deep breathing exercises, also in the past I would often 2 - 4 times a year catch a cold mostly from guys coming on holiday and breathing their germs at me and I would always end up with a chest infection from that and since I have used these herbs I have literally had not one single Chest infection for several years.

Keeping the natural chemicals from these and other things really help immensely and learning how to use them is important too, for example cooked Garlic enhances the taste of many dishes but can lower the natural goodness of the Allicin which is the chemical in Garlic that helps attack a virus when it enters your system.

Crush or slice raw garlic and add it to anything savoury just before you eat it and you will get the full benefits, also add garlic cloves to Honey and let sit for a week or more then take a couple of spoons a couple times a day.

So then I saw this new add online for a beverage that just happen to contain all the stuff that I take regularly here in Thailand so put in an initial order to try some, The Honey was beautiful tasting, the Apple Cider Vinegar although fierce to taste is good quality and the Health Tonic containing all of them I found very palatable, adding it to warm water and even some lime juice is not a bad taste at all and you get the benefits from it, I even add some slices of fresh Ginger and garlic to enhance it.

So there it was and how it happened and why we are offering these products which are made in North Thailand and I have got to say they have the making of them just right.

You may think as you are healthy and don't need these items but hey same as taking Garlic, don't wait till you get sick before taking? keep it in your system all the time and you will reap the benefits, as with for example the Healthy Tonic, take a couple table spoons in warm water before bed and first thing in the morning and see how you feel over time.

You never know what is around the corner concerning your health as I found out ????

Cell by Stephen King.

 

@ Canterbury Tales Bookshop / Book exchange / Cafe / Guesthouse / Pattaya, Thailand.

 

Witness another Stephen King triumph, blood spattered return to the genre that made him famous.

Cell, the king of horror's homage to zombie films, is his goriest, most horrific novel for a few years, not to mention the most intensely paced.

Casting aside his love of elaborate character and town histories and penchant for delayed gratification, King lifts readers off their feet right away, dropping them into the fray and offering no chance to catch their breath until the very last page.
