13. Old Age Health Essentials

I’ve been prompted to write this and put it online, because I remember when I was younger, I would get the newspaper delivered every weekend (Sydney Morning Herald), and there was a section about natural health. I remember writing everything it said down, and keeping it in my health folder; and later looking it up and realising that everything that they had written in that newspaper was pretty much a load of rubbish, and obviously written by some little bimbo who had gotten the job via her friendly nature and good looks. {Actually, I notice this happens quite a lot in life, I remember seeing a documentary once where a group of so-called university people were paid to go down to Antarctic for a scientific research, which involved the study of seals, and those young girls, about 6 of them, were catching these animals and tagging them, in a most revolting cruel manner. One of the cruellest animal activity I had seen at that point caught on camera {until I later saw the Japanese killing of the dolphins, and then the Shark de-finning, I will put that here; Fishermen catch sharks and while they’re still alive in the water, they use a knife and chop off their dorsal fin (that’s the main one that sticks up out of the water, as in Jaws), and then they let the shark go, so it’s in agony, and it writhing around in pain as it tries to swims off, then it’s a slow process of death for it, as sharks can’t survive without their Dorsal fin. It’s truly the most disgusting animal cruelty I’d ever seen, people, Australian fishermen doing that in 2016. So unevolved, those fishermen should be shot. And, by the way, they are in for some extreme bad karma.} So, it was along the same lines of animal disrespect, the disrespect for those animals by those girls in Antarctica, showed they obviously didn’t give a shit about what they were doing, they were there for a free holiday in Antarctica. Wrong people chosen. Misapropiations!

Anyway, so the below information, is basically, you know, 48 years, of experience.

There are a few tricks I have up my sleeve, that I use to combat some of the painful elements of old age.

I guess the biggest complaint for me atm, are stiff joints, often induced by cold weather, but I have been diagnosed with olecranon bursa in my elbow and arthritis in my knees, so I am guessing other joint problems may be related to arthritis. (Although I believe my knee arthritis to be brought on by kneeling on hardwood kneelers, in church, twice a week at a nazi private boarding school.)

I did have some sore stiff hand problems (from extreme overuse of a chainsaw in cold weather in my 30’s), but this was quickly overcome with the addition of a couple of drops of ginger essential oil to my hand moisturiser lotion, which I now keep in a ceramic pump container, by the bed. I was using it nightly, but since I have slowed down my activities, I probably only apply it weekly. Now I don’t have any problems from my hands (excellent! especially since, hey, I still need my hands!)

1. Emily’s Arthritic Hand Moisturizer – fill a bathroom ceramic hand pump bottle with;

Unscented moisturizer base, I like to use ½ Redwin sorbolene, ½ vitamin e cream. As Ginger oil kind of has a pungent fragrance, I also add; 5 drops each of pure essential oil (not fragrance oil, be careful of cheap Chinese imitators); Geranium, Cedar leaf, and 10 drops Ginger essential oil.

(You can slightly melt the moisturizer for 20-30 seconds in the microwave so it can be easily poured into bottle with a funnel, but wait till it cools before adding oils) shake well, lasts for ages if airtight.

 

The next one, I use usually when it rains, then I get sore aching joints. But it also happens if I do too much of any 1 activity, I get sore arms in particular. (Spent arms) This works so well I can’t believe it. I wouldn’t be able to do anything, if there was no such thing as pepper essential oil. Not only does it help the problem at the time, but I found it helps to stop any more aches and pains for a few weeks at least.

1. Emily’s Stiff joint / Cold induced / Arthritic moans, Rapid Healing oil

100ml carrier oil (almond or olive, or mineral, or castor, Wheatgerm, Sunflower, Jojoba, Apricot, Safflower, Grapeseed……)

25 drops pure Pepper essential oil. Keep in dark glass or ceramic bottle

 

One time when my knees were quite sore, more so than usual, from too much activity, I made up a blend of

1. - 5 drops Ginger pure essential oil, 5 drops Coriander pure essential oil, 5 drops Cinnamon pure essential oil, in 100ml Castor oil {could use any of the above carrier oils listed}

I definitely felt this helped, although it’s help is limited because I think there is unchangeable damage that has occurred in my knees. So, this does stop the pain, but it doesn’t help me do activities, which require the full use of my knee, so still no bike riding or stairs. I found a trick for the 3 steps at my front door, and that is to walk down them sideways, for some reason this reduces the strain at the time, and when sitting in my office chair, I found if I press on top of my knee, in that area just before the kneecap, and squeeze down hard as I push up from the chair,  this definitely helps with that pain. Also, I think the pepper mix above would have the same results, but I think it’s good to not use too much of 1 thing. You have to remember these oils are “warming” and while your joints might want to be warmed, maybe other body parts don’t want to be – you have to pay full attention to your body.

14. Home Medicine Cupboard essentials

Scar healing cream; it came about as I was trying to heal a scar that had formed from a giant planter wart that had been removed with salicylic acid, and then homoeopathy medicine. Unfortunately, the salicylic acid probably is not a good option to treat a planter wart, as not only did it not work, but it left a big scar and indentation on top of another planter wart! But when the homeopathic medicine had treated the planter wart and was gone, it was probably 12mnths later,  when I decided I should try to heal the indentation and scar, so I made up this cream, after using it for two months or so, it was completely healed (unfortunatly it did not heal my plantar fasciitis)

1. Emily’s Rapid Healing Moisturizing Skin Cream Recipe

Heel Care Cream (90g) from Dermal Therapy (Heel magic)

Sage essential oil x 30 drops

Borage essential oil x 30 drops – mix in glass jar with air tight lid

 

2. Bites and Scratches, I use a mix of Lavender, Bergamot, Borage, and Sage, in castor oil. Always pure essential oil.

3. Inflamed Wounds, I use  - Niaouli (Melaleuca) in Almond oil

4. Pinched Nerve on back spine – Angelica in Almond Oil (just magic)

5. Bangs, Knocks, Thumps or Hits, apply Arnica in Almond oil, immediately – no bruise at all if you do straight way, I have a blend of Arnica, Lavender and Sage in Olive oil, ready to go if I ever badly bump into anything, or drop one of my planters on my face…

6. Toothaches; apply Clove essential oil direct. Clove is extremely potent, use caution.

7. Tick bites: these require 2 steps. First; if you see a tick, STOP, don’t do anything, because if you just grab it and pull it off -you’ll leave the head in the body, which is bad. So, what you do, is go and get some tea tree oil. Tea tree oil is really potent, if you just dab a little bit on the tick, with a cotton tip, the tick gets a bit shocked, and stunned, then at that moment, you just grab it and pull it out, use tweezers. 2nd: the skin still may get infected, a little bit of tick may remain inside, or maybe its last meal was still stuck around its mouth and infects you, (on a cat it should be fine) but on a human, treat the area with citronella oil or clove oil. Dilute oil with a carrier oil, make up a mix, then rub it in with your finger, do it every 4hrs for 48hs. It still may get infected (it will get painful if its infected), and you still may need to see a Dr for antibiotics. I was told if a head was stuck in, it would work its own way out, but would still get infected and you would need antibiotics. So worth treating yourself over that 48hrs period with essential oil, then see – if still painful, especially when you rub the surrounding area, go to Dr for antibiotics. There are several others you could use too, like; Oregano, Thyme, Myrrh, Garlic, Cinnamon, Cumin – all proven to work against ticks, but I would think there are others too, untested, like Cypress, Tagetes, Borage, citriodora, Eucalyptus, Tea tree, Calendula, Lemon myrtle, probably others too. The magic of essential oils.

 

(evil knievil; if you steal any of my oils you will be going to hell, but getting cancer first)

 

I don’t know what I would do without my essential oils…. indeed, I do find them essential J

 

I’m going to include a couple of recipes below, because I know how important good nutrition is particularly in children – it sets them up for the rest of their life with good health, if you feed them right.

Healthy food also can cure sickness.

I had a lymph scare under my arm, I made up the following juice, and it cleared up the three lumps that were there, completely by the next day.

It’s really not that hard to stay healthy, save yourself a trip into the hospital and expensive hospital bills, by simply including kale every week into your diet {that is if you can get it, I’ve noticed the supermarkets are constantly sold out of kale, but it is easy to grow over winter, give it a try.}

Yummy cancer fighting juice

1 fresh kale leaf, de stemmed (or frozen prechopped is still good)

¼ - ½ cup frozen blueberries or mulberries

¼ tsp flax seed

¼ tsp dried ground seaweed

¼ tsp honey, honey has extreme healing properties

1 new red gala apple, best chilled, then quartered

3 cold navel oranges, peeled and halved

Optional 1 small carrot – I found this juice so sweet, that it can easily handle a carrot and is still sweet as. Carrots for the eyes.

Optional 1 ice cube – this is especially for me and my burnt throat.

 

Place the berries, flax seed, seaweed, kale and honey (ice cube) in small Nutribullet cup, (one of my small cups was stolen after I wrote this, see the dogs – constantly watching my every move) - and whiz up.

Remove the blade and place that Nutribullet cup under the juicer, and juice apple, carrot and peeled oranges. Put the Nutribullet blade back on, and give it another whiz up. Yum.

Eat with a Choc double dipped Carman Breakfast nut bar! Can’t go wrong!

 

Emily’s Cure All health soup, 1 portion

250ml Home-made stock (beef bones+ onion, celery, carrot (greens like Kale, cabbage) purslane, Gotu kola. Fat removed.

½ cup minced kale, either fresh or frozen (use food processor for best results, destemmed)

2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced.

Rock salt, rosemary pepper (dried rosemary with pepper corns, ground).

Pinch toasted coriander seed

35 soba noodles (broken)

1 tbs fresh or dried minced onion

1 tbs finely shaved chicken breast

1 tsp fresh or frozen in olive oil minced parsley

 

Reduced stock to half, then add everything except chicken and parsley. After 4 minutes boiling, add chicken and parsley – should cook instantly. Serve.

15. The Socially Retarded Humans I have had to Talk to, Plus another Renters Bane - Asbestos in Bathroom

 This hasn’t happened so much recently, but I recall some years ago, it happened a lot, and I used to get so mad about it; often when I was talking to people, interacting with them, suddenly midway through a conversation, their phone would ring, and then the person would simply stop the conversation, often without even excusing themselves, and just start talking on the phone to someone else - so fucking rude. And I can’t believe how many people think this is perfectly fine and acceptable IT IS NOT. It is akin to someone burping and farting in the middle of a conversation, or someone pinching you as you talked, or if they started to take things from you as you were talking, like your glasses or your sandwich if you had one. It is TOTALLY SOCIALLY UNACCEPTABLE to answer your phone when you are in the middle of a conversation with someone. It is easy enough to switch your phone off or at the very least send the call to messages.

 

Oh, and the photo above shows a typical house built in the 80’s, where asbestos has been used in a bathroom.

16. Will’d Death

I would say in this country, the number of accidental murders, evil plotted murders, inadvertent murders and revenge murders that happen, and go unaccounted for; written off as “natural causes”, would be huge. With so many bogans in charge, and the amount of hatred within the community, and the willingness to not think about these awful things and the preferred ‘Barbie Bimbo Smile’ attitude. Means that the ‘badies’ get away with it.

I also believe thinking something ‘on mass’ is a form of prayer, and it works in a similar way. And also, if you piss someone off, and then that person is constantly thinking about you, and cursing you, wishing you dead, - it’s kind of same thing as a prayer. So, it’s in your best interest not to piss people off. (namely me!).

Not to mention the train of thought, of the believe it is the mother that ‘will’ their kids to be sick so they can look after them. (Unhealthy mothers, and sometimes nurses).

17. School Bully Story

I remember a bullying incident 30yrs ago in yr 7, involving my friend, another girl, and the young powertrippy house mistress. I clearly remember it, but have never written about, but recently I became aware that the whole thing was actually about me, and my friend might not fully know who was victimizing her. Also, if her life is anything like my life; other people (idiots who get paid by the government) do reflections. So, she will need to know what happened in order to deal with present people who do reflections about the situation (this might only happen to me? {this may have something to do with the fact that my work boots I purchased in 2016 were sabotaged so I would get a collapsed arch? I out shone them all, including Judy Dench’s garden).

So, the initial cause of the problem started when I and a couple of my friends, were walking across to the stables (boarding school with optional horse-riding) on our way we walked past a ‘pre-established’ group of friends, and one of them (Melissa O’Gorman, the queen bee of the group) made some snide comment about my boots. Some  people find me irresistible… (I did not have proper riding boots – I have never been big on conforming, instead when I was 10, I found some long knee high leather zipper boots at an op shop, and just loved them and wore them any chance I got (op shops – favourite place for ‘dress ups’!) of course, I just said something back to her in a loud and UNintimidated voice, and I thought that was the end of it (that is how you handle bullies btw) so, it would have been the end of it, except, unbeknownst to me, apparently my friend wanted to come to my rescue, apparently, she thought she should do something in retaliation, and apparently, she wrote a bitchy letter to this girl Melissa, and left it in her locker, she had signed it anonymous. The house mistress, Cathy Goldman, read it out loud in a house meeting, to try and find the culprit. Stupid woman. Plus, she told everyone, she already knew who it was, but wanted them to come forward. I can’t remember what the letter said exactly, it was brief, and I think there was name calling.

(Cathy Goldman was a despicable and truly stupid woman who should be placed in a zoo. The way she handled this situation was disgusting – and she formed an obsession with me and harassed me ever since.)

I had nothing to do with the letter. I did not know about the letter until that house meeting.

Anyway, because my friend wrote that letter, 2 of Melissa’s friends found out who wrote it (somehow?) NOW, I CAN ONLY ASSUME it was my friend who wrote it, we actually never discussed it, but there was another girl who heard Melissa’s comment, Belinda (for all I know it could have been her, or her friend Anna, in our dorm?). But, Melissa’s friends found out it was my friend (maybe they assumed too?) and so they bully verbally attacked her when she was in the shower, behind a locked door - so my friend couldn’t see who it was attacking her, (if you want to know who it was, it was Jane McEnroe and Amy Powell, Melissa’s minions (don’t worry about it now, just knowing who it was will be enough) after they finished verbally assaulting her and stole her towel, they came into our dorm down the hall, and tried to play sides, as little girls do, (and still do as adults, stupid women - fuck off and get a life) Of course none of us would have a bar of them and they were politely shoved out the door.

I went into the bathroom to see if I could find out if my friend was okay, and she didn’t talk to me, so I think she must’ve been upset, and she didn’t know who I was, and she later emerged and was fairly upset and unsure of who her friends were. A little later her mother came and got her and removed her from the school permanently.

So, this is quite an unfortunate situation that happened to her, but it was NOT unfortunate that she was taken out of that school. Boarding school is no place for a young lady. (Little birdy told me she is now a chef?).

Btw, that house mistress followed me from house to house. And in year 9, she put me in a dorm with Amy Powell.  In yr 10 she used to pretend she was a paedophile. And since I left school, she has stalked me all across the country, I have seen her in every new place I visit, and she is accompanied by young girls who steal from me. She kidnapped my cat in Melbourne. I’ve reported her to the police, she’s a fucking stalking idiot dog.

Those workboots photo’d above: these are the ones that were sabotaged with a slight hole in the sole, to deliberately handicap me (unable to walk/exercise properly for 6yrs now- you should se the size of my butt now). I do not know who exactly was behind it (coward), so it may be related or may not. I would say it is. Stupid dogs who play sides. Also, I don’t know if this is related or not, but if you read my Photo story “STOLEN - my single tall dish drawer from Fisher and Paykel, stolen by Tamworth repair at Northapp”, I talk about how my dish drawer was stolen in a very sneaky and devious way. I was dealing with someone by the name of Amy from Fisher and Paykel. So, after looking back and realising the whole incident about the Pat Pirelli horsemanship workshop, if you read my photo story “Australian Building Practises, its Renters who get stuck with HOME KILLERS” on p1, - this is exactly right up those bitchy girls alley. Could someone who knows either of those girls, please go and check their kitchens for my dishdrawer?

18. Unhealthy Attitudes by Oppressors

I’m really sick of seeing this attitude; I received an email today with this quote;

“The secret of life is not looking back” Norman Rockwell, artist.

This quote is said by bullies who bully people and then want the victim to ignore what they’ve done so the bullies are not held accountable and reminded of their questionable bully actions.

This certainly is not the secret of life at all.

The secret to life is happiness, and happiness is doing something about the things that piss you off so you can be happy, and if you don’t, those bullies will just keep happening, until you address the problem, the secret is NOT ignoring at all, this is extremely unhealthy attitude, and no change or evolvement will come about from ignoring bullies and sweeping things under the carpet. The ugly truth so to speak.

And I can assure you, not ignoring it, and talking about it, and writing about it online, KICKING UP A BIG STINK, in the public arena, is the only thing that puts a stop to most types of bully in this country.

Having said that, of course, there is the type of bully who wants one thing and one thing only and that’s your attention so if you ignore them, they soon give up and wander off.

19. The Danger of Carpet

I need to do a whole special photo story about the real enemy out there; and that is carpets, and carpet manufacturers.

I tried to write about this before I was ban on Facebook, well I touched on it, well actually I kind of said, you’d have to have a screw loose to put carpet in a rental! - I guess there’s a lot of non-thinking greedy property investors who inadvertently have carpet in their rentals, who don’t wish to be told that they have a screw loose, when in actual fact they do -  Non thinking is a form of craziness! And because I did that particular story, I believe it partly contributed to also banning me from Facebook!

A lot of people don’t know exactly how bad carpets are. Carpets are made from synthetic fibres (most of them) which give off a toxic volatile compounds, in affect, carpets poison you. This is not a made-up thing; I’m NOT trying to scare you with information. This is a real fact, they know about it, it happens.

The reason why they still make these carpets, is because they are considerably cheaper, and most people can’t afford to buy all natural carpets. So, they try and shut down people who are opposed to them, like me. (I mean if there was total awareness of this issue, it would most likely mean the total closure of a huge industry, a million-dollar industry.)

BTW, you do have to look at the whole carpet, not just the pile, because the underlay and the Warp, is often synthetic. So, you really have to look and research very hard before you buy, if you do not want to purchase toxic volatile compounds.

I would say don’t bother putting carpets in at all; there’s far better options which are far more hygienic and considerably easier to clean (in case liquid items are spilt; which invariably happens) do yourself a favour say NO to carpets. By the way if you’ve never seen a toxic volatile compound, there is a way you can see them, so you can have proof for yourself. As in fact, I have seen toxic volatile compounds; I had a room in Gunnedah with a big huge window, it was very small room and thus hot, Gunnedah is a hot little town in summer, and the sun was pouring in through this window one day, middle of summer, very hot, the sun was hitting my shelf which had a row of tool boxes lined up, so there was a router case, a drill case, jigsaw cutter case, plus a few others. As the sun was hitting these cases, I could clearly see an almost transparent chemical clouds emitting from those cases, and then dissolving in the air. I felt I should leave the room. – I later through the cases out. Whether it is just the sun/ heat that sets off those fumes?

Story related to Carpet too:

Carpet Cleaning Chemicals in OTHER People’s Homes - Rentals

I recently enquired to a Real estate about a rental; if there was any possibility that the owner would replace the carpet. I could see from the photo that the carpet was well lived in, over quite some time - just the thought of that, (even if it was only lived in by one person), I personally find kind of disgusting.

(One rental I lived in, I refused to take off my shoes at any moment when I was inside the house, because the carpet was so disgusting - that was at "Rowan Leigh").

I did not mention to her, the fact that, well, I personally think anyone who puts carpet in a rental, must be completely stupid. It's just so much more difficult to look after, even if you're the owner of the home it's a nuisance, but being a renter, particularly if it's not an expensive carpet and you don't have any motivation like ownership, well I know some people would be totally uncaring as a renter with carpet. Plus, most people have pets, so I mean carpet in any house, I think it's just an absurd notion. Absurd even and only, in the bedroom too. I mean what cat owner doesn't have a cat who waltzes in and sleeps on the bed; you never know what can go wrong when you've got a cat.

I can't believe people still are so determined to use carpet. I suspect the carpet industry has some very sneaky marketing people in it.

Oh, plus, here in Queensland, where it's so humid and hot, you'd have to be absolutely nuts to put carpet in a house up here. Mould!

Anyway, the real estate woman did get back to me, and said No, it would not be removed,  but however, the carpet would be "carpet cleaned professionally", before the new tenant arrived. I did not reply back, I thought I couldn't possibly put my response to her, because she would consider it too rude - she would not be able to handle it, and take it personally - even though it's probably an area that she hasn't given enough thought to, herself and possibly she should take it personally..... but as I may need somewhere to live in the future, I thought it best not to give her my response. Instead, I shall write it down here! I am going to write my response in this little photo story because I MEAN THATS PRACTICALLY EVEN WORSE! -why don't you just fill up my house, full of toxic chemicals, just before I move in.  (Reminds me of the time when my aunt went away on holidays, and I was to stay at her place for a week,  but I was going to arrive a couple of days before she returned, and so she thought it would be the perfect opportunity to set off a bug killer bom.  I'm not sure if they still make them - I'm pretty sure they shouldn't be allowed to use them, it's like an aerosol bomb fills the room with toxic chemicals, and kills anything inside the room! So, as I was going to arrive a couple of days before her, she wouldn't have to open the house to all those residual chemicals , -  I would have to air the house out; she gave me directions on how to air the house out properly, by opening all the windows etc!! The nerve of cocky uncaring and selfish women! And you can see how most people actually do know about the dangers of toxic chemicals, but they just think that it doesn't concern them - same situation with these real estates and carpet cleaning; "Well we don't have to have toxic chemicals in our house, you have to have it in your house, because you're a mere renter".

Take some responsibility you nonthinking real estates.

 A professional carpet clean is just as stupid as putting in carpet on a rental. I can't believe so many people are so stupid, when this is really a common-sense thing - it could not be any clearer with today's availability of information, and about what we know about healthy living.

Just keep those Australian bogan carpet cleaners away from me.
