I have written several blogs in the past regarding the Biblical Essential Oils from Young Living that my family uses on a daily basis. What actually started my interest in the company is a drink called Ningxia Red. This drink is amazing to say the least. My good friend just started a Facebook Group called Garden of Eden that is chocked full of an immense amount of information regarding the oils and the Red drink. I have learned quite a bit in just the last few days and I've been with the company for two years now! The group is private but can anyone can join by invitation only. If you are on Facebook and would like to be a part of the group, just email me or leave a note here and I will send an invite to you. This is one of the posts uploaded just yesterday. It was just too good not to put here on my blog! I drink 1-3 ounces a day and can't imagine being without it!
Read for yourself how incredible it is....
21 REASONS To Drink Ningxia Red Juice
1. The Ningxia Wolfberry provides ample antioxidants to strengthen the immune system. Antioxidants permeate cell walls and attack free radicals before they damage the DNA of the cell nucleus.
2. Antioxidants of this berry fight arteriosclerosis and artherosclerosis – aiding the circulatory system – including the heart.
3. The Ningxia Wolfberry is powerful in helping the liver function properly. The liver is one of the most vital organs in the body – it’s our cleansing machine.
4. Helps the eyes, cataracts, glaucoma, and visual acuity. This berry contains a complete array of antioxidant carotenoids including beta-carotene and zeaxanthin. In fact, the Ningxia Wolfberry has the highest source of carotenoids in all known foods. Beta-carotene is best known as a nutrient for the retina.
5. Cancer Help. The main constituent of the wolfberry is Lycium Barbarum Polysaccharide (LBP), and according to studies in China, LBP helps cancer patients rebuild their white blood cell count, enhancing phagocytes and the activity of natural killer cells, which bind to cancerous cells, as well as improving major classes of T-cells. “increase the antibody reaction to the T-cell antigen”.
6. More Cancer Help. Acetone extract from the Ningxia Wolfberry inhibits gene mutation. Some scientists say the fruit is a good supplement to prevent liver cancer. Also, studies show objective regression of cancer in patients with malignant melanoma, renal cell carcinoma, colorectal cancer, lung cancer, and others. Results also indicated LBP may be used as an adjuvant in the biotherapy of cancer.
7. Minerals & vitamins act as enzymes and co-factors in the digestion process.
8. Studies on seniors in China produced amazing results (many people liver beyond 100 years of age in wolfberry growing areas). Increases in Super Oxide Dismutase (SOD) and hemoglobin were found in serum in all participants. In other words wolfberry “may help slow the aging process”.
9. Protects against the free radical attack on the mitochondrial DNA – our energy furnaces inside each cell. Antioxidants fight against mitochondrial destabilation.
10. Helps lower blood sugar and in many tests at least stabilizes blood sugar.
11. It is important that cell walls maintain their malle-ability for nutrients to cross this membrane. The free radical scavengers found in the Ningxia Wolfberry strengthen the cell wall and support efficient transport of flavonoid nutrients into the cell and waste products out of the cell.
12. Strengthens the brains neuro-transmitters against pervasive free radical activity, thus fighting against dementia and other forms of memory loss.
13. Promotes a sense of well-being, and has had noticeable results in tests, which reduces stress and anxiety. The tissues of the body (including the brain) are assisted in avoiding oxidative stress.
14. Has a B-vitamin complex essential to the body. In addition, these vitamins are vital for converting food to energy.
15. Cells need to communicate, esp. those in the brain and nervous system. The synaptic responses are protected & fortified by the same polyphenols (flavonoids) that this berry uses to protect itself.
16. Provides powerful anti-fungal and anti-bacterial action because it contains solvetivone (an amino acid). Properties in the food fight viruses – it’s anti-viral.
17. Reduces pain caused by inflammation because the berry contains Beta-Sitosteral, a remarkable anti-inflammatory.
18. The Ningxia Wolfberry is high in protein (more than whole wheat), an essential cellular building block.
19. The Ningxia Wolfberry, unlike most berries, contains natural Vitamin E – a restorative antioxidant with too many health benefits to list here.
20. A healthier, romantic life. The wolfberry increases overall health performance, including sexual responses. One herbalist wrote, “Wolfberry can make a young wolf out of an old man.”
21. This berry, dubbed “A complete body health motivator” has many unique polysaccharides, not found in any other plant on the planet.
So, what are you waiting for? I can order this for you at my cost - I'm not part of Young Living to make a profit but rather to spread the news about their wonderful products and how they have changed our lives. I order the 8th of every month, so email me if you would like to order this drink or any of the oils. (2plus3wonders@sbcglobal.net)
My friend who started the Facebook Group posted a wonderful reminder from Revelations 22:2.... And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations.
Wouldn't you rather treat the ailments of your family members naturally rather than with prescription medication? It's time to think outside the box and see what the Lord has waiting for you!

Well Worth the Wait!
I am just so excited for my little princess - after two full years of tedious flossing, painful teeth-moving, rubber bands, cancer sores and monthly appointments....the end was finally in sight! For those of you that have had braces, you know the exhilarating feeling when they finally say, "Let's pop these babies off!"
Not only do her teeth look incredible (they should after all that money, right?) but she received a special kudos from the Orthodontist. They stated that 28 months is the nationwide average time span for kids to wear braces. Victoria only had hers on for 2 years and 6 days! I guess all that harping of "wear your bands" really did pay off!
Here is a picture just one day before she began donning the metal teeth!
And here we are two years later...
Wow...she sure has changed! I liked that cute, little bob hairstyle. Where, oh, where did my little girl go....
We love you, Victoria - you are a very beautiful and special lady! Enjoy your pearly whites :)

I'm a Proud Momma!
Breathtaking.
That is the best word I can use to describe what it is like to see God working in your children's lives. To see the pages of their book unfold...to witness their score being written...to become speechless as you observe their journey from the confinements of a cocoon to the liberated fullness of life as they spread their wings!
I have seen this take place in Victoria over the past two years since we have been involved in a home school co-op. Victoria's deafness and home schooled environment presents a double-whammy when it comes to her social skills and getting her to participate in things outside of her "box".
Even though I am constantly pushing the boundaries of her comfort zone, this co-op was not one of my intended avenues. We only joined this co-op for the Chemistry class and to learn ASL. That was MY purpose and goal. However, a week later, we discovered what God really had in store for us! When I first chatted with Mrs. Shannon about our family and enrollment, she shared with me the various dance classes that she teaches. Regretfully, I let her know that Victoria was deaf and wouldn't be able to be a part of her ballet, jazz or tap classes. We were just needing science...
Shannon greatly encouraged me while gently nudging me to let Victoria try some classes. She has worked with children with disabilities for over 20 years and she was just sure that Victoria would excel.
I hope you are sitting down because you are about to witness proof that our God-given teacher was right - not even two years later I sit in amazement of my daughter and her ability to dance in all three classes! She dances all day on Friday (about 4 hours) in ballet, jazz and tap. This is a video of Victoria and her friend, Anna's, tap duet. You must keep in mind that both girls are profoundly deaf!
Mrs. Shannon is an inspiring miracle worker, in my opinion. She works with students that have various kinds of disabilities - mental and physical - and teaches about 30 classes a week. She has been a "dream come true" for my little girl and yet she is completely unaware of the transformation that has taken place in Victoria since she did not know Victoria before co-op.
Thank you, Mrs. Shannon. For your dedication, perseverance, patience and witty humor. My daughter and I both love you to pieces and am so thankful that you are following God's calling AND that He led me to you at just the right time!
