Yes I'm sure you know much more about Lyme disease than your doctor does. He most likely knows next to nothing about it, that's what it sounds like. I would definitely give up on him and find someone who deals with that disease in Alaska.
Yes primary care MDs are few and far between that even believe in Lyme disease. I have been through this whole process and as a nurse I was very ashamed at how the medical field make people feel about their disease. And since Covid it is even worse. I was lucky to have a holistic MD who started my care but it still took years to get to the bottom of it all.
@rondar960 I am a retired RN too and yes, since covid I'm very ashamed of the medical industry. I am happy I'm no longer attached to it. I'm upset with my pri.ary care doctor for wanting us to take the poison shot but neither I nor my husband would. So happy now that we didn't though many in our family did. I warned my family against it but half the kids took it anyway. My husband's daughter works for Cooks Children's hospital and they mandated her to take it so she did. Also my older daughter thought I was crazy and took the shots as soon as she could. So far everyone is OK but we know they are ticking time bombs.
I lost faith in medical doctors in 2020. I think they are brainwashed in medical school and it’s hard to change their minds. I would see if there is a Lyme disease specialist somewhere nearby. My personal experience with doctors made me resort to eating a no sugar, low sodium, no processed foods, and as organic as possible, diet. I was taking medicine for diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol. For the last year, I have been off all prescription meds. I use foods for medicine and it has worked for me. By the way, I refused the Covid shot. I was exposed several times but never got the virus. I am 77 years old and feel better than I have in years. 💕🙏🏼
This is what is wrong with many doctors in this country. They do not listen to their patients and think they know it all based upon medical degree. So annoying. Glad you are advocating for yourself. Ugh. Praying for you!
They make you think you’re crazy and a person knows their own body and you’re so right that doctors don’t listen and it makes so hard to find the right doctor!!!
I am so sorry your doctor's response was terrible. I hope the second round of testing provides the answers the doctor needs! If not, maybe it is time to find a new primary care doctor. I will keep you and your family in my prayers.
Nothing beats a holistic doctor! I had a routine colonoscopy about 10 yrs ago. I had 26 polyps. At a follow up appt the doctor suggested doing surgery to remove that section of the colon ( keep in mind they were not cancerous). I immediately found a holistic doctor who has treated me ever since. I now have ZERO polyps with his treatments!! Stick with your holistic doctor who immediately knew what your issue is! ❤
Doctor's don't want to be proven wrong and they definitely don't to be corrected . Period!!! Dont give up Tina God's got your back he didn't bring you this far to give up on you. You are a fighter in the name of Jesus ❤
I think ur on track Tina, truly believe u will be alright.God is helping u.love Parker swimming with the dog. What a dog, swimming all over with him. LOL. Also ur moose shots. Love ur additions, all everything u are doing. Much love for all. God bless you.
It is sad that the medical community does not want people well. Most want your insurance/ money. It's disgusting! To you, Tina, and family, may the Lord bless you and keep you always. Keep walking in FAITH. God is faithful! Nothing is impossible for those who believe. ❤
Probably need to consider changing PCPs. I always told my patients they need to feel comfortable with their primary and have good communication with them. Nothing wrong with "shopping around." It's incredibly important when something is impacting your quality of life in a significant way. You're strong Tina, you'll get through this. Dock looks awesome. Has Parker every gotten a leach on him? UGH.
Wow Tina. You’re not alone in things like this these days. It’s sad is what it is. A darn shame that we have to fight for what we know is right. I’m to trying to see the good in people that are supposed to help you when all they do is say you’re wrong. I’m so sorry. You’re super strong my friend. You’ve got this! If you’re not happy. I would definitely go elsewhere. I’ve had to do this before. ❤. Take care. I know things will get better. Take care. Hope you find relief. Great job on the new build. Love where this is going!
As an ER nurse, I was not surprised at this Dr.s reaction. Sorry to say that I have seen this a majority of the time. Keep searching for a Dr. that is open and willing to discuss integrative medicine- I know you are limited with your location. I now seek alternative and holistic treatments whenever possible. It is embarrasing to be a part of this profession at times, especially since 2020. I have a child who has been permanently damaged by "medical treatment" and that has opened my eyes to the pitfalls of Western medicine. I applaud you for taking the alternative path and healing yourself. I would recommend watching Justin Rhodes channel as he has chronic Lyme and discusses his journey and treatments often. I wish you all the best on your healing journey!
Totally agree, I have been with a natural doctors for the last 2-1/2 years just due the fact, I had some very bad experiences with the doctors in the western medical system for my entire life. I am praying for you.
Tina and Joe the homestead is looking beautiful. Thanks again for taking us through your day. Tina you are in my prayers. Stay strong my dear friend. Blessings and prayers.
If it's like Ireland its impossible to get a new doc. Docs are now the same the world over unfortunately. Ivwould rather not go at all to my local doc and just attend the hospital
@@lorrainebrady4814 I just changed PCP it was a pain but I am glad I did. it sad to me as someone who works in health care. no one should have to go through this. Herbalist and PCPs can work so well together and make a word of different to a patient.
@lorrainebrady4814 Here in the United States we can change doctors whenever we like. however being in AK I'm sure her options maybe limited. it also can depend upon the insurance they have and what providers are available in their insurance network.
I am so sorry you are facing this, but you are a warrior, you got this!!!! People that are Celiac, need to get new cooking pots and utensils, etc, etc, etc.... and be super more careful with cross contamination and so forth. For the gluten sensitive, none of that is needed. Just to avoid eating gluten. I am super duper, gluten sensitive. My step-daughter is Celiac. It is a big change at first, but then it will be a lot easier and becomes automatic.
Tina my husband kept having diarrhea and losing weight. He lost 60 lbs in 6 weeks. After a few months I threw a tantrum in the doctors office and told them something had to e done. He never did the stool sample test but said he didn’t have C-Dif. I requested the stool sample and it came back positive. He put him on strong antibiotics for 2 months. The doctor apologized to me and my husband is a much better man. Stick up for yourself because they are humans not God as some of them think. I have 100% confidence in you girl. Love you and your family
Hi Tina, Joe and Parker, hope you’re feeling better Tina from the last video. What a beautiful day there the wild flowers are so pretty. Little dock on the pond will be nice and handy for swimming for Parker and the dogs. That’s the problem doctors don’t believe in the holistic way at all, I have the same problem here. It’s a shame, both sides could really help in a big way if they could work together. I think the natural way is fantastic. I keep my sugar in check the natural way and it works good. Take care guys, enjoy your videos. 👍👍❤️❤️🇨🇦
Every time I see him in the pond I worry about gators then I remember that I’m still in the south and you’re not. LOL. Just instinct… livin’ in Florida for 54 yrs 😳🥰😍
Tina, thanks for bringing this to our attention. I’ll be checking myself and my family more closely in future - especially my grandchildren who are avid outdoor boys. Take care and don’t get too overwhelmed. Wish I could have a cup of coffee with you on the new deck!😍🇨🇦
Hello to The Watsons. Tina I am praying for you and your family(I was crying my eyes out on the last video with you) God is GREAT and you will get the help you need. I am touching and agreeing with you and i LOVE you guys❤❤❤❤
Tina, I'm assuming you have military insurance, Tricare. We have Tricare Prime, when we've had medical problems with doctors, or techs giving tests we've immediately contacted Tricare (our insurance), and explained the situation. They immediately sent us to someone else. Maybe calling your insurance company would help the situation. Just a thought. I'm proud of you for standing your ground with this doctor. Don't let him intimidate you in any way. You know something is medically wrong because you haven't been feeling well. You have the blood workup, and tests from your Natural Medicine Doctor. It will be interesting to see what results the Alaska doctor comes up with. I'd compare the results from both doctors. Keeping you in my thoughts, and prayers. Nice dock Joe!
Tina at the time that I was diagnosed with Diabetes I was so devastated. That was 2 years ago at 77 years old. Never been sick except for minor things. Went to doctor once a year for my annual. It was so hard to accept. Total life style change at an advanced age. I was so down. A friend said to me, you never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have. How true. So I put on my big girl panties and have adjusted so much in my life but all is well. In January 2024 I had surgery for melanoma. Again I’m dealing with it. I’m so sorry about all you are going through. But be strong and don’t let anything or anyone win. Kick butt and stand tall. You are awesome and one of God’s children. He’s always there for you and me.
Hi, Tina I have no doubt that the Lord put your thumbnail up on my feed. I agree with you 💯. I hate going to the Dr for all the same reasons you have shared. My baseline BP is on the lower side. By the last time I went to the Dr it was the highest it’s ever been. Anyway I’m sure God answered my prayers for the right provider for me. She is a functional medicine provider and I absolutely love her. Not gonna go into all the details right here but as a result of Covid pneumonia in late 2020 I am now disabled with several chronic illnesses. You are a breath of fresh air. I’ve subscribed and will join you on your journey. 🕊️
Hi Bernadette! Welcome to our channel. I’m so glad you finally found some answers. Searching for answers is the hardest part with chronic illness. Finding the root cause so you can get on a path to recovery! Thanks for subscribing.🫶🏻
My daughter is gluten free as she has celiac disease and she has figured it out. It did take time but it can be done and you don’t have to use two sets of pans that’s crazy. She doesn’t and she is totally fine. You will get there it’s trial and error. Best wishes!
Tilly & Frankie are so cute! Sarah will always be the baby. Your raised bed veggies r looking good! Oh my, that pier is going to be awesome!🎉 Joe is a genious!!! God bless him. Joe is better than gold!!!
With God ALL things are possible. Pray and put your primary doctor in God's hands. Short videos are better than NO ciders. Enjoy the summer. Baby steps honey, baby steps. Much love and prayers for the Watson family.
Tina. Tina.Tina. Doctors! Are you really surprised? I totally get what happened to you. I've been in that scenario before!!! I admire the fact that it made you even more determined to find a cure, not defeated. 😘
Hi Tina, Watson family. My husband and I have been following you since you were in the apartment shortly before Joe’s retirement. ( thank you both for your service) May God continue to bless you and your family. You’re a better person than me. I would have walked out of that dr’s office. He’s wasting more of your time and money ordering the same tests. I would say definitely fine another doctor. Thank you for sharing your lives with us. You’re in our prayers. Jesus loves you. God bless you all ❤❤❤
Tina, you’re such an inspiration! I love your attitude and your outlook on life. The good Lord will help you get through this difficulty. Hang in there! Love you and your family! Joe is such a hard worker! Does he ever rest? Parker looked so happy swimming in the pond. I love your new babies! They’re precious and so is Sara!
CHICKPEA BREAD -2 c chickpea flour, 3/4 c club soda, 1/2 tbs yeast, 1 tbs sugar, 1/2 tbs xantham gum, 1/4 tsp salt, 1 1/4 tsp baking soda,3 egg separated,1/3 c oil, mix all dry ingredients together, now add oil, yolks and club soda, whip egg white to stiff peaks and fold into chickpea mixture pour into your bread pan, allow to rise but just a bit above the top of the pan takes about 1 1/2 hours. bake from a cold oven to 350 when the bread's internal temp reaches 190 remove takes about 50 min. when done remove from oven and allow to cool for 5 min on rack then remove from the pan and allow to cool. texture is similar to white bread. (either grease pan or use a parchment I use a ceramic pan if the bread starts to get too dark tent it with tin foil until done. this can also be used for buns I use an ice cream scoop, scoop place into the pan side by side once bake at 350 f. Once they reach 190 internal they are done.
Tina, happy to see you and the family. Exactly what I expected you would bounce back. You're a fighter, not a quieter. Are there any negative people leaving messages its not necessary give Tina and her family a break they have been through enough. Keep positive tina push forward the light at the end of the tunnel is just steps away. You will beat this.. Tony tracy and dusty dog
I really love yalls channel with the animals, garden and all the work that goes on there. Please, please don't let your ilness take over the channel. Work thru your ilness and move forward
Tina, I truly believe that God has provided everything we need to heal ourselves. We have just gotten lost by being misled by big pharma! I don’t know if I could deal with an MD that wouldn’t work with holistic healing. Still praying for you 🙏🏼♥️🙏🏼
Gurl…. This has been my life since 2006! I’ve spent thousands and thousands of dollars on Functional and Naturopathic doctors trying to well. I have never been tested for Lyme tho. Definitely I will ask for that. It has been a struggle with the ups and downs of each new treatment- sometimes feel great and other times cannot get out of bed or breathe! This is a travesty of our sick care system because it isn’t geared toward wellness! Glad you are sharing what millions of us have been facing with our “doctors”
Tina, first let me say my husband and I enjoy your channel and look forward to your “new releases” 😉We have also noticed how Joe has come to life in the last few videos and is now showing us who you see behind the camera and we are loving it. Also, I am sorry for how you were treated by your PCP, no one should ever have to feel degraded by anyone especially when they have proof in hand that they are physically ill. I suffer from celiac disease and living gluten free is not as difficult as it used to be. You would be surprised to know that Walmart now has a rather large selection of gluten free products from pasta, breads, etc. Nabisco makes a rice cracker as well 😊 You got this girl, the world is your oyster ❤
So glad you're advocating for yourself and yes, you will become more informed than your regular allopathic PC. Don't allow them to gaslight you. Most PC docs will only test for the basics because of lab time and insurance. It's truly a sin that many are sick and feel there are no solutions because of 💰💰.
I waited six months in AK for a bipap machine. Flew back to TX and got it in one day. Feels like we are on the edge of the world sometimes. I am so grateful to God I got one. I have a partial paralyzed diaphram; if I do not use the bipap at night I will loose lung function. However, my husband has been ill for forty years and has slowly found how to cope and est in a way that works for his body. We have some medical answers but not all of them. We even have medical insurance but still have to fight for answers and care. I thank God my husband and I have each other and my grown children.
Hey gang, hope you have the BEST time ever at the remote cabin! Finally some answers to your health Tina, continuing prayers as you navigate through your changes! You got this !! ❤
It’s a pride thing for that Dr. he can’t admit he was wrong and missed it. I wonder how many other patients of his he has misdiagnosed? Thank goodness you look into things for yourself. ❤Stay strong Tina God has your back
I don’t know how easy or difficult it is to get a new primary doctor but based on the way that one talked to you and questioned a labs results I’d be looking for a New primary doctor!!! I would have told him if he wanted to question the lab results why not call the lab and get his questions answered!!! Putting you through all that testing again is not only unnecessary it’s causing you to live longer without treatment! I’m outraged how you were treated by that guy! Unreal! I will pray for you and that you will get your treatment sooner than later. God bless your family.🥰❤️🙏🏻🇨🇦🍁
I was also contacted by the Department of Health when my labs came back positive for Lyme. And made sure I received care and followed up with me a few times. Keep advocating and standing your ground with him. If he continues with this behavior you may want to find a different doc. Keep positive, get lots of rest as that’s when our bodies heal when we sleep and lots of prayers going up 🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏😊
Ok Tina, I'm going to keep this light i said my piece in the last video. Also love the videography , seeing the sheep, lambs and the new goats, watching Parker having fun swimming and swinging near the animals who were watching 😊. Tina, you know this is coming right, aahh seeing Joe in shorts ( darn to bad he was wearing a shirt 😎) and his boots ahem hubba hubba.😇. Can't wait for the remote cabin trip always a joy, takes me back to my days at my grandparents cabin. Blessings to you and your family. 😊🇺🇲
So excited to see your video. Thank you. Stay strong! God's got this, you, and family!! I get so many awesome idea's from your projects. Thank you for being real!!❤😊🥰
Congratulations on the goats Tina❤Probably you already know but wanted to put here for others as well. Goats food must be different from sheep food. Goats need copper in their diet. Sheep must not have copper. 🐐 Best wishes ❤
Please remember it’s okay to say , I’m having a bad day. I know that is hard for us women to admit. You need to take care of yourself and remember baby steps will lead to bigger steps as you heal. Getting back to naturalpathic cures is the best. Stay positive I know it’s hard to do all the time, but it’s vital to your health and healing. I myself have this same inner conversation around my lymphoma battle. You got this girl. Hugs and prayers to you and the family. ❤
Hello from Sweden Europe! Thanks fore all your 5☆☆☆☆☆+ RUclips videos, youst love them all! Please keep it up! If it whas a Alfred Nobel price in parenthood, you got it 100% sure! You are fantastic parents! Best Regards Peter Eriksson Sweden Europe ❤❤❤ to love fore freedom! 😊😊😊!
We went through the very thing your going through with our daughter for years. Countless doctors before and after the diagnosis.Contracted Lyme in Virginia running the trails ended up having to come home to PA for us to take care of her she was bed ridden for a time. What we did learn was that the antibiotics they try giving you just drives the Lyme deeper into your system to escape the antibiotic. The holistic approach was the best route we found for her. There is hope and she is now running her trails again and going to the gym. Praying that you will find the help you need to start feeling better.
Oh Tina, It is going to be alright. Stay positive. God knows your needs and is always with you. It will all work out. Some times we must adjust to the let downs life gives us but there is always a way when you walk with Jesus. God Bless
This is a major reason I don't go to doctors! My good friend suffered so long before being diagnosed with Lyme Disease! No one listened! I am so glad you are putting this out there!
JOE, Can I suggest you place any small piece of wood (screw in place then you can remove) on top of any POST's you have to secure by hammering. This will stop the post's from SPLITTING, like the one's on the dock. Hope this helps?. You're doing such a great job building what will in time be your ideal homestead. God bless you all.
I am sure it is going to be a very frustrating journey for you Tina but with the good lord and your wonderful family by your side you will conquer this!
I hate it when Drs don’t listen & are proud. We have to do our own research. I’ve been the guinea pig for the docs & had the tests & procedures infinitum before they found hypothyroidism. Now I just fired my primary bc he admitted he wouldn’t give me the rests I need bc he doesn’t know how to interpret them. So we must be our own advocates & keep researching. I’m in the midst of a journey to balance my hormones with a brand new endocrinologist. I’m a RUclipsr too with a small channel. I support you. I’m s brand new subscriber. Great docs learn from their patients & stay humble & compassionate. They don’t just push meds & not know anything about nutrition.
Tina, it will take you up to 6 months to go completely gluten free. And, my family eats what I eat, very rarely do they eat regular gluten. My husband does, it’s bread because he takes a sandwich everyday for lunch, other than that, everything else is gluten free. And, once you get the hang of it, it’s easy. When you go out to eat, ask for a gluten free menu. On Facebook and instagram, there are many groups to join to help you. You are going to have no issues at all. I have a lot problems, Hashimoto’s is one of them. I take something for it, I’m allergic to wheat, and I have cut my sugar and carbs way down. That has helped my thyroid tremendously! I’m praying for you, Tina❣️🙏🏻
Awe Tina I wanted to cry when you were getting emotional when talking about “your doctor”. 1. We know our bodies! 2. The doctors work for us, not the other way around. I would seek an expert in Lime Disease. Sending you lots of love & hugs. I’m sorry you’re going through that! ❤❤❤
I understand. My sister was sick for 30 years. Every medical doctor said she was crazy. Finally, after 3 days as an inpatient at John’s Hopkins where they ran every test, she was diagnosed with Transverse Myelitis. They found it but had no treatment for it. We believe in Naturopathic medicine. Keep fighting through.
That doctor will never admit he’s wrong. I would contact a Lyme disease expert and get a recommendation for who to see in Alaska.
Same! I would also do a parasite cleans. So many health problems are caused by parasites.
Yes I'm sure you know much more about Lyme disease than your doctor does. He most likely knows next to nothing about it, that's what it sounds like. I would definitely give up on him and find someone who deals with that disease in Alaska.

I know right, it almost cost me my life 🧬🧬🧬🧬🧬🧬🧬🧬
Not just the U.S., Australia as well 😡
I am a Lyme disease survivor. You are 100% correct. My recovery was due to being blessed with the right people on my team. Don't give up.
Stay positive. Doc don’t like it when we “humans “know more then them about a illness. You
have all of us behind
you. 😊😊
I’m fortunate that my doctor is fully supportive of alternative treatments and medicine.
Mine is also..
I am so sorry your doctor's response was terrible. I hope the second round of testing provides the answers the doctor needs! If not, maybe it is time to find a new primary care doctor. I will keep you and your family in my prayers.

@@saravaneerde6164 Usually with insurance you have "in network" providers. You can shop within that group.

Every time I see him in the pond I worry about gators then I remember that I’m still in the south and you’re not. LOL. Just instinct… livin’ in Florida for 54 yrs 😳🥰😍
Tina, thanks for bringing this to our attention. I’ll be checking myself and my family more closely in future - especially my grandchildren who are avid outdoor boys. Take care and don’t get too overwhelmed. Wish I could have a cup of coffee with you on the new deck!😍🇨🇦
Hello to The Watsons. Tina I am praying for you and your family(I was crying my eyes out on the last video with you) God is GREAT and you will get the help you need. I am touching and agreeing with you and i LOVE you guys❤❤❤❤
Tina, I'm assuming you have military insurance, Tricare. We have Tricare Prime, when we've had medical problems with doctors, or techs giving tests we've immediately contacted Tricare (our insurance), and explained the situation. They immediately sent us to someone else. Maybe calling your insurance company would help the situation. Just a thought.
I'm proud of you for standing your ground with this doctor. Don't let him intimidate you in any way. You know something is medically wrong because you haven't been feeling well. You have the blood workup, and tests from your Natural Medicine Doctor. It will be interesting to see what results the Alaska doctor comes up with. I'd compare the results from both doctors. Keeping you in my thoughts, and prayers.
Nice dock Joe!
Tina at the time that I was diagnosed with Diabetes I was so devastated. That was 2 years ago at 77 years old. Never been sick except for minor things. Went to doctor once a year for my annual. It was so hard to accept. Total life style change at an advanced age. I was so down. A friend said to me, you never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have. How true. So I put on my big girl panties and have adjusted so much in my life but all is well. In January 2024 I had surgery for melanoma. Again I’m dealing with it. I’m so sorry about all you are going through. But be strong and don’t let anything or anyone win. Kick butt and stand tall. You are awesome and one of God’s children. He’s always there for you and me.
Tina this old woman is praying for you God can heal. God bless you all.
Hi, Tina I have no doubt that the Lord put your thumbnail up on my feed. I agree with you 💯. I hate going to the Dr for all the same reasons you have shared. My baseline BP is on the lower side. By the last time I went to the Dr it was the highest it’s ever been. Anyway I’m sure God answered my prayers for the right provider for me. She is a functional medicine provider and I absolutely love her. Not gonna go into all the details right here but as a result of Covid pneumonia in late 2020 I am now disabled with several chronic illnesses. You are a breath of fresh air. I’ve subscribed and will join you on your journey. 🕊️
Hi Bernadette! Welcome to our channel. I’m so glad you finally found some answers. Searching for answers is the hardest part with chronic illness. Finding the root cause so you can get on a path to recovery! Thanks for subscribing.🫶🏻
Beautiful!!! ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏📚🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
My daughter is gluten free as she has celiac disease and she has figured it out. It did take time but it can be done and you don’t have to use two sets of pans that’s crazy. She doesn’t and she is totally fine. You will get there it’s trial and error. Best wishes!
Tilly & Frankie are so cute! Sarah will always be the baby. Your raised bed veggies r looking good! Oh my, that pier is going to be awesome!🎉 Joe is a genious!!! God bless him. Joe is better than gold!!!
With God ALL things are possible. Pray and put your primary doctor in God's hands. Short videos are better than NO ciders. Enjoy the summer. Baby steps honey, baby steps. Much love and prayers for the Watson family.
Tina. Tina.Tina. Doctors! Are you really surprised? I totally get what happened to you. I've been in that scenario before!!! I admire the fact that it made you even more determined to find a cure, not defeated. 😘
Doctors are so disappointing sometimes. I hope you get feeling well, Tina. ❤
Praying for you Tina! Joe is doing a great job on dock. Love your new additions.
Oh gosh watching this is like watching myself with your experience. The same thing
Hi Tina, Watson family. My husband and I have been following you since you were in the apartment shortly before Joe’s retirement. ( thank you both for your service) May God continue to bless you and your family. You’re a better person than me. I would have walked out of that dr’s office. He’s wasting more of your time and money ordering the same tests. I would say definitely fine another doctor. Thank you for sharing your lives with us. You’re in our prayers. Jesus loves you. God bless you all ❤❤❤
Tina prayers for you,God can and will heal you.Homestead beautyful.
Tina, you’re such an inspiration! I love your attitude and your outlook on life. The good Lord will help you get through this difficulty. Hang in there! Love you and your family! Joe is such a hard worker! Does he ever rest? Parker looked so happy swimming in the pond. I love your new babies! They’re precious and so is Sara!
Hey 👋 Tina and family Joe is a hard worker enjoy watching your videos. Stay strong God is with you. ❤️ ❤ ❤
CHICKPEA BREAD -2 c chickpea flour, 3/4 c club soda, 1/2 tbs yeast, 1 tbs sugar, 1/2 tbs xantham gum, 1/4 tsp salt, 1 1/4 tsp baking soda,3 egg separated,1/3 c oil, mix all dry ingredients together, now add oil, yolks and club soda, whip egg white to stiff peaks and fold into chickpea mixture pour into your bread pan, allow to rise but just a bit above the top of the pan takes about 1 1/2 hours. bake from a cold oven to 350 when the bread's internal temp reaches 190 remove takes about 50 min. when done remove from oven and allow to cool for 5 min on rack then remove from the pan and allow to cool. texture is similar to white bread. (either grease pan or use a parchment I use a ceramic pan if the bread starts to get too dark tent it with tin foil until done. this can also be used for buns I use an ice cream scoop, scoop place into the pan side by side once bake at 350 f. Once they reach 190 internal they are done.
Thank you for brining Joy to our lives. Your utube channel is the best 👌
Thank you.❤️❤️
Tina, happy to see you and the family. Exactly what I expected you would bounce back. You're a fighter, not a quieter. Are there any negative people leaving messages its not necessary give Tina and her family a break they have been through enough. Keep positive tina push forward the light at the end of the tunnel is just steps away. You will beat this..
Tony tracy and dusty dog
I really love yalls channel with the animals, garden and all the work that goes on there. Please, please don't let your ilness take over the channel. Work thru your ilness and move forward
Boy that doc is going to be really nice Joe‼️Parker- wasn’t that water COLD‼️ Brrrr😊
Looking forward to to going to the cabin with all of you😊👍‼️
Tina, I truly believe that God has provided everything we need to heal ourselves. We have just gotten lost by being misled by big pharma! I don’t know if I could deal with an MD that wouldn’t work with holistic healing. Still praying for you 🙏🏼♥️🙏🏼
Gurl…. This has been my life since 2006! I’ve spent thousands and thousands of dollars on Functional and Naturopathic doctors trying to well. I have never been tested for Lyme tho. Definitely I will ask for that. It has been a struggle with the ups and downs of each new treatment- sometimes feel great and other times cannot get out of bed or breathe! This is a travesty of our sick care system because it isn’t geared toward wellness! Glad you are sharing what millions of us have been facing with our “doctors”
Tina, my thoughts and prayers are with you…sending loads of love and prayers for better health to you🙏🏼❤️
Tina, first let me say my husband and I enjoy your channel and look forward to your “new releases” 😉We have also noticed how Joe has come to life in the last few videos and is now showing us who you see behind the camera and we are loving it. Also, I am sorry for how you were treated by your PCP, no one should ever have to feel degraded by anyone especially when they have proof in hand that they are physically ill. I suffer from celiac disease and living gluten free is not as difficult as it used to be. You would be surprised to know that Walmart now has a rather large selection of gluten free products from pasta, breads, etc. Nabisco makes a rice cracker as well 😊 You got this girl, the world is your oyster ❤
So glad you're advocating for yourself and yes, you will become more informed than your regular allopathic PC. Don't allow them to gaslight you. Most PC docs will only test for the basics because of lab time and insurance. It's truly a sin that many are sick and feel there are no solutions because of 💰💰.
❤ prayers ❤️ go to dr. That take care of you and believes in you ! ❤❤❤
Beautiful Ms. Tina!!
We’re so happy to see you just posted this video!
We love you so much!
God bless you!
Prayers for you and your family. God bless you guys.
I waited six months in AK for a bipap machine. Flew back to TX and got it in one day. Feels like we are on the edge of the world sometimes. I am so grateful to God I got one. I have a partial paralyzed diaphram; if I do not use the bipap at night I will loose lung function.
However, my husband has been ill for forty years and has slowly found how to cope and est in a way that works for his body. We have some medical answers but not all of them. We even have medical insurance but still have to fight for answers and care. I thank God my husband and I have each other and my grown children.
Our Thoughts & Prayers are with you & Family ,, you got this 💯!! enjoy off grid cabin,, look forward to all your family adventures 🎉🎉
Hey gang, hope you have the BEST time ever at the remote cabin!
Finally some answers to your health Tina, continuing prayers as you navigate through your changes! You got this !! ❤
It’s a pride thing for that Dr. he can’t admit he was wrong and missed it. I wonder how many other patients of his he has misdiagnosed? Thank goodness you look into things for yourself. ❤Stay strong Tina God has your back
Beautiful video! Love the new babies. Keep your head up--you're doing great, Tina. 💜
I don’t know how easy or difficult it is to get a new primary doctor but based on the way that one talked to you and questioned a labs results I’d be looking for a New primary doctor!!! I would have told him if he wanted to question the lab results why not call the lab and get his questions answered!!! Putting you through all that testing again is not only unnecessary it’s causing you to live longer without treatment! I’m outraged how you were treated by that guy! Unreal! I will pray for you and that you will get your treatment sooner than later. God bless your family.🥰❤️🙏🏻🇨🇦🍁
I get the being worried I was the same way. Stay vigilant with your family 😁
You have an awesome family and great talents! Don’t worry everything will be great
God is watching blessings and healing you!
❤ We love you Tina. Never ever give up! Never surrender! God Bless you always! Phil 4:13. Much love Alan&Maria
Praying forgot to lead you to the right Doctor that will work with your functional doctor❤❤❤ The homestead is looking so good!
I was also contacted by the Department of Health when my labs came back positive for Lyme. And made sure I received care and followed up with me a few times.
Keep advocating and standing your ground with him. If he continues with this behavior you may want to find a different doc. Keep positive, get lots of rest as that’s when our bodies heal when we sleep and lots of prayers going up 🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏😊
Ok Tina, I'm going to keep this light i said my piece in the last video.
Also love the videography , seeing the sheep, lambs and the new goats, watching Parker having fun swimming and swinging near the animals who were watching 😊.
Tina, you know this is coming right, aahh seeing Joe in shorts ( darn to bad he was wearing a shirt 😎) and his boots ahem hubba hubba.😇.
Can't wait for the remote cabin trip always a joy, takes me back to my days at my grandparents cabin.
Blessings to you and your family. 😊🇺🇲
So excited to see your video. Thank you. Stay strong! God's got this, you, and family!! I get so many awesome idea's from your projects. Thank you for being real!!❤😊🥰
Congratulations on the goats Tina❤Probably you already know but wanted to put here for others as well. Goats food must be different from sheep food. Goats need copper in their diet. Sheep must not have copper. 🐐
Best wishes ❤
Please remember it’s okay to say , I’m having a bad day. I know that is hard for us women to admit. You need to take care of yourself and remember baby steps will lead to bigger steps as you heal. Getting back to naturalpathic cures is the best. Stay positive I know it’s hard to do all the time, but it’s vital to your health and healing. I myself have this same inner conversation around my lymphoma battle. You got this girl. Hugs and prayers to you and the family. ❤
Its so admirable that you didn’t let your appt. ruin your whole day. That would have really bothered me. Praying for you Tina!
Tina I'm so sorry you're having to go through this. We praying for you..❤
Hello from Sweden Europe! Thanks fore all your 5☆☆☆☆☆+ RUclips videos, youst love them all! Please keep it up! If it whas a Alfred Nobel price in parenthood, you got it 100% sure! You are fantastic parents! Best Regards Peter Eriksson Sweden Europe ❤❤❤ to love fore freedom! 😊😊😊!
Praying for you
We went through the very thing your going through with our daughter for years. Countless doctors before and after the diagnosis.Contracted Lyme in Virginia running the trails ended up having to come home to PA for us to take care of her she was bed ridden for a time. What we did learn was that the antibiotics they try giving you just drives the Lyme deeper into your system to escape the antibiotic. The holistic approach was the best route we found for her. There is hope and she is now running her trails again and going to the gym. Praying that you will find the help you need to start feeling better.
Oh Tina, It is going to be alright. Stay positive. God knows your needs and is always with you. It will all work out. Some times we must adjust to the let downs life gives us but there is always a way when you walk with Jesus. God Bless
This is a major reason I don't go to doctors! My good friend suffered so long before being diagnosed with Lyme Disease! No one listened! I am so glad you are putting this out there!
JOE, Can I suggest you place any small piece of wood (screw in place then you can remove) on top of any POST's you have to secure by hammering. This will stop the post's from SPLITTING, like the one's on the dock. Hope this helps?. You're doing such a great job building what will in time be your ideal homestead. God bless you all.
Stay strong warrior. You are second to none. ❤
You guys could use the hillside as a stepped permaculture style gardening style that could work really well for you.
I am sure it is going to be a very frustrating journey for you Tina but with the good lord and your wonderful family by your side you will conquer this!
I hate it when Drs don’t listen & are proud. We have to do our own research. I’ve been the guinea pig for the docs & had the tests & procedures infinitum before they found hypothyroidism. Now I just fired my primary bc he admitted he wouldn’t give me the rests I need bc he doesn’t know how to interpret them. So we must be our own advocates & keep researching. I’m in the midst of a journey to balance my hormones with a brand new endocrinologist. I’m a RUclipsr too with a small channel. I support you. I’m s brand new subscriber. Great docs learn from their patients & stay humble & compassionate. They don’t just push meds & not know anything about nutrition.
I amso proud of you and I know Jesus is. You will get lots of energy soon.
Its time for a new dr. Im thankful that my family dr listens to me and so does the endrocornolgist i see.
Beautiful view ❤❤❤ beautiful couple ❤❤❤love u all family watching from sikkim indian
Tina, it will take you up to 6 months to go completely gluten free. And, my family eats what I eat, very rarely do they eat regular gluten. My husband does, it’s bread because he takes a sandwich everyday for lunch, other than that, everything else is gluten free. And, once you get the hang of it, it’s easy. When you go out to eat, ask for a gluten free menu. On Facebook and instagram, there are many groups to join to help you. You are going to have no issues at all. I have a lot problems, Hashimoto’s is one of them. I take something for it, I’m allergic to wheat, and I have cut my sugar and carbs way down. That has helped my thyroid tremendously! I’m praying for you, Tina❣️🙏🏻
Awe Tina I wanted to cry when you were getting emotional when talking about “your doctor”. 1. We know our bodies! 2. The doctors work for us, not the other way around. I would seek an expert in Lime Disease. Sending you lots of love & hugs. I’m sorry you’re going through that! ❤❤❤
Sorry you had a stressful doctor appointment. I can empathize. I hope you find good support and solutions to your health struggles soon.
You go girl!! God has a plan for you and it's great!!!
I’m praying for you. 🙏🏼🥰
Joe the dock looks good God bless you and your family
I understand. My sister was sick for 30 years. Every medical doctor said she was crazy. Finally, after 3 days as an inpatient at John’s Hopkins where they ran every test, she was diagnosed with Transverse Myelitis. They found it but had no treatment for it.
We believe in Naturopathic medicine. Keep fighting through.
I love seeing you uploads, what you & Joe are building it completely impressive
We do need to take control of our own health.
