Just a note, here at the beginning of this blog, to tell you how much we have appreciated the support of so many of you for Butterfly Express, LLC and its companion company, Butterfly Expressions, LLC. So many of you, both long-time and more recent customers, feel like friends or family!
Every purchase, every kind word, and every recommendation means the world to us. Your support has helped us enjoy the good times and weather some difficult days over the years. Your support has helped us grow and helped us be able to continue doing what we pictured in our minds all those years ago. From its tiny beginnings in my home’s kitchen as I tried to share with others the things our family was learning by study and experience (translate ‘experience’ to ‘illnesses’ and ‘accidents’, please), through hundreds of classes held here and, now, to all that happens here every day, your support and kindness has made it a joy to us!
I feel very blessed and very grateful. My heart is full this Thanksgiving season for all of you, and I wish you and your families the best of everything in the years to come!
There is, absolutely and without doubt, no road to good health (or recovery from illness and chronic ailments) without good nutrition being a priority every day!
Studies done at the School of Gerontology, University of Southern California, indicate that if a person has a sub-clinical nutritional deficiency, he or she might appear ‘perfectly normal’ except for increased susceptibility to disease, longer recovery time from surgery, adverse reactions to vaccines, extreme fatigue that interferes with normal functioning, depression, insomnia, and irritability.
Richard Revlin, M.D., of the Sloan-Kettering Cancer institute says,
“In the United States today, we rarely see cases of classical vitamin deficiency, such as scurvy and pellagra—to name just a few cited in this article. However, we are now beginning to recognize a vast new series of marginal deficiencies related to disease. Marginal deficiency, it now appears, may be a surprisingly common phenomenon.”
One very important reason herbal remedies work for a particular problem is that the herb has provided one or more vital nutrients that are missing in the diet.
It is important to understand, and remember, that vitamins and minerals chemically constructed in a laboratory cannot fill the nutritional needs of the body. Man has been unable to produce a single molecular structure that is exactly identical to those produced in nature. Laboratories can assemble the correct components in the correct amounts but somewhere in the joining of the atoms will be a rotation to the left that should be rotating to the right. The resulting isomer (that is the scientific word for it) is not bio-identical, no matter what the advertising says. This is as true of hormones and amino acids as it is of vitamins. (Hint: If the supplement you are buying says “L-something or other”, the ‘L’ is a warning that this supplement has been artificially produced in a laboratory and will not be providing the nutrition you think you are getting!
There is a great deal of information about the nutritional components of herbs in the book, Butterfly Miracles with Herbal Remedies which can be purchased at Butterflyexpress.shop. Nutrition and health is a topic that has fascinated me for years. See the full list of topics.
