The Hills Roll On

There’s something surreal about having two worlds collide. It’s like having your work buddies over at your parents house on Christmas morning. It’s odd. Out of place. These two worlds don’t normally collide, let alone mix. We’ve been living in NW Spain for the last 7 months, supporting the missionaries here, learning about a whole new culture and language, learning to live without the familiarity we took for granted in North America. Like central heating, peanut butter, thrift stores and English. Read the rest of this entry »

Some of you may know that the three of us have recently been introduced to a significant scientific discovery (glyconutrients) and have started taking some as a regular part of our lifestyle. Though we ourselves aren’t presently in a personal health crisis we have been questioning whether our the western medical model (of treating symptons rather than going to root causes) is the best approach for us. We were impressed enough as we researched glyconutrients to consider it as a significant step in preventative health measures. Even in just three weeks we can both see noticeable changes in our health. We’re definitely convinced enough at this point, from the changes both in our health and in the health of people we personally know, that should someone we know encounter a health crisis, we would highly endorse glyconutrients.

We just watched a 2-3 minute newsclip from ABC (Oklahoma News 9) that shows that glyconutrients are getting more widely known and used. Also it gives some idea of the variety of conditions the glycos can touch. At the end, there is the disclaimer for the FDA. Interesting note, the only reason it’s yet to be approved as a drug by the FDA is because the products have no toxicity levels (they are all natural based). The FDA will only endorse ‘drugs’ that have toxicity levels (go figure!). Anyway, we wanted to share this with you so that if you are interested in learning more, we’d be more than happy to share personally with you. And if you’d like more scientific info on glyconutrients you could check out www.glycoscience.org

Sincerely,
Gavin & Tara (and lil Eden too!)
