Bella and Everest looked so sweet and relaxed together.
Your health journey was such an encouragement. Thank you for sharing, and praise the Lord for answering your specific prayer. 🎉
He is faithful! ☺️
Love her new boots and boy does she look just like her mommy ❤️ just beautiful 😊😊😊
Silas is doing a great job on the guitar! Lindsay Buckingham playing "Big Love" is a guitar song I could listen to over and over on repeat. When I heard Silas playing the intro I was impressed. Waiting to hear him play the whole song. 😉
Yes! We cut out everything that has ‘natural flavors’ a few months ago and it really eliminates almost everything 😬 and yes, you have to make everything from scratch in order to avoid all the things.
We don’t go to doctors either but would appreciate the resource for more natural minded dentists! We really struggle finding dentists that are kind and compassionate.
Happy early birthday Julie! Glad your on the mend!
I didn't find out I had the MTHFR gene mutation until my late fifties, which explained A LOT (I'm 65 now). This took me down a gazillion rabbit holes regarding nutrition and medicine. It is INSANE how poisoned we Americans are with Big Pharma and the diet our FDA and USDA "approves". What's worse is that I was a Registered Nurse, BSN and realized how blindly I was following what our "healthcare" system suggested. UGH! I've made SO many changes, but it keeps getting more difficult and confusing because even "Organic" products here in America are stamped with the USDA symbol which I don't trust AT ALL. I still have SO much to learn!
I think it's super sweet that you have friends that are much older than you (I mean, why not) and that you help and are willing to help when they need it. So many these days look past people their age because it doesn't "fit" in the picture of what friends are. I much more like your definition.
Dear Julie, I never understood why additional nutrients/vitamins are a thing in the US. I have never given any additional nutrients to my kids, nor have any of my friend mums to theirs, and we have never experienced the slightest problem with malnutrition. It's just not done in Europe. The one thing I do, is cooking from scratch and buying organic and fresh groceries. xxx Ingeborg :)
Unfortunately, here in the US, because of decades of poor farming practices our soils are completely stripped of nutrients and minerals. Even organic doesn't have the nutritional value it should. We also, as a country do not eat organ meats which is practiced in many other countries and those meats are incredibly nutrient dense. Here, even the organ meats isn't as nutrient dense because pastures that animals graze on aren't rotationally grazed and attention given to soil quality. Unfortunately, most meat is grain fed, which doesn't help anything. Regenerative agriculture is something that some people are focusing on because they realize that the soul will not be able sustain us long term. But regenerative agriculture is being practiced across Europe because you guys are also having the effects of stripped soil. Just search here on RUclips for regenerative agriculture in Europe and you'll find it! But that, in a nutshell, is why some of us here in the US are giving supplements to our kids. We are an organic, regenerative homestead and we supplement our kids too. We follow Root Cause protocol so everything is whole food supplements or amino acids, etc, but because we know, the food we grow, as good as it is, will still have major nutritional gaps.
Our food it literally poison here. Even when you're trying your best to get everything organic. We know a crop duster who says nothing is truly organic here. Simplifying our diet, fermenting and having probiotics daily has helped tremendously though :))
If you didn’t already know, Chanca Piedra is called the stone breaker. It’s good for gallstones, kidney stones, etc… even helps with gout.
Fantastic job on that guitar song Silas! I’m super proud of you. 👍
Very impressive! He obviously had a great guitar teacher ;)
That’s great you got so many treasures from helping your friend move! Sorry you’re having some kidney issues hope the blood panel helps you sort it out! Happy early birthday 🥳!!
Thank you friend! 💕
So glad I have found your channel!
I’m glad too! 🥰
Please add a board in front of your canning jars.
Julie, you are already feeding your kids farm fresh, organic, whole foods. You are doing 100% better than the average American household diet.
I can sympathize with busy weeks. We are graduating our oldest daughter from homeschool this weekend. We are having a small ceremony/grad on our yard. I'm busy doing my best to make our yard look beautiful. Sadly, it has been so dry so the grass is suffering here in Central Canada.
Congratulations to your daughter and to YOU! What a wonderful accomplishment for you both. I hope you have a great celebration!!
Gracias a Dios estas mejor Julie , cuídate mucho, un abrazo desde México ❤😊
I’d love to know the website the nurse practitioner shared!
I’m glad you’re feeling better, too!
The more you know for sure…. Looks like you are on your way to teaching your kids to be self sufficient
I agree as a mom that we just do the best we can with what we have and try not to stress too much. Stress is worse for our health than all of the above. I love seeing your farm family life! 💕
I totally get the whole frustrating to find clean options thing. Have you looked into the gaps diet? Even if you can't do it perfectly its a great way to make sure your getting the right nutrients. Liver, kefir, kombucha and raw egg yokes are loaded with B vitamins. Like you we have been eating super clean for a decade now and would love to share what I've learned if you want to chat. Love all your homesteading videos. Its our goal here to get there one day before the kids are grown. Lots of love.
Julie, hope you are feeling much better. Wishing you an early Happy Birthday. At 74, I am learning so much from you and others. I cook all fresh fruits and vegetables, organic when possible. I remember yelling at my daughter for not giving the kids vitamins, but she reminded me they eat healthy and are outside playing most of the time. Thank you for sharing.
Hi Julie just love your family we share the same values, a quick tip that I learned is that if you have to swallow pills is to hold your head down while swallowing and you won't choke and it goes right to where it needs to. Do you have a link to the websites that were mentioned in this video?
Your garden looks great. It's such a great time of year to see everything blooming. I'm happy to hear you are trying to move away from natural flavors, we have been on the same journey. I wish I could cook everything from scratch, but there just doesn't always seem to be the time. We do the best we can! 💗
Acupuncture was recommended by my ND exactly for kidney issues! Also low sugar diets are great. Intermittent fasting (when your not pregnant or nursing ). As well as 8 lemons in one cup of water for 3 days.
Would love if you'd share that website!! Your so encouraging to stay more natural my parents had 10 kids and almost no hospital bills !!!
So glad you are feeling better. Being the matriarch of the family makes it super difficult if you are feeling are unwell. But you have a wonderful supportive family and friends which is a blessing. I am super impressed with Silas’ guitar work! Loved it. I am 100% with you about the food industry and pharma. I wish I knew what I do now when my children were young (they are 37 and 30) as I could have set them up better like you are with your beautiful children. Happy birthday for Thursday. I’m sure you will have a wonderful day. Huge admiration and respect to you and Jason.
It is a continual journey of learning when it comes to trying to be healthy in this unhealthy culture. Every time I feel like I have something figured out I learn something new. I suppose that’s why it’s important to enjoy the journey and not get too bogged down. I have to remind myself of that 😄
I’m impressed with Silas too! He’s come a long way in a short time
thank you for sharing your family ❤❤
Praying 🙏 for healing on you Julie ❤. Thank you for sharing your precious family life. Blessings to you and your family
The garden is looking so lush! Silas’s guitar playing is impressive! It is irritating trying to eat whole, non-processed food but finding little of it. Being overly concerned with every degree of difference from “organic” can also be artificial, as you expressed. Good job checking on any infection. Happy birthday Thursday, Julie! 🎂 (Totally organic cake)
Heehee,miss Lydia made me do a belly laugh when she asked you if you were talking to yourself...she is adorable and growing sooooo tall!😍 All of your kiddos are just so kind and helpful,they make my heart feel so full of joy! Julie,I will be praying for healing of your kidney issues,I know how miserable that can be! Thank you so much for sharing life on your sweet family's homestead,it's such a beautiful sight to see. Big hugs & Blessings all around~Lisa from Virginia❤
Kudos for you for keeping your children healthy! What a Blessing to find a Holistic NP! Oh my the rain sounds amazing on your green house😊 Happy Birthday Julie!! As always Thank you for Sharing!!
I know this video is a year old but by chance did you ever check the website out the urgent care doctor suggested to find more holistic minded doctors/dentists? 😊
Hi Julie, so glad God sent a holistic resource at the Urge t Care visit.
Curious..what was the website she shared?
Julie I am from Australia and feel a lot like you about using natural methods. I have found in the past that Cranberries are amazing for any UTI's, has always worked for me. Can I also say how beautiful and caring your children are, seeing Bella with Everett was just adorable. I am sure you are so proud of all your family ❤
Thank you!
Would love if you could share that website about the holistic care providers!
I just wanted to reach out and let you know how much I adore your family. Finding your channel has been such a blessing! Thank you so much for sharing your life and all of the work that goes into that. 😊
Have you looked into Mary Ruth vitamins? I give mine a methylated b12 spray but they have kids multivitamin and seem to be very clean and test for metals…
Would love the website the nurse gave you that you spoke of.
Thank you for continuing to share your beautiful family and experiences with us 😊
Happy Birthdays for next week
You are amazing please get well soon ...you could make your livingroom bigger...🤗❤✌
Happy birthday! Hope you have a wonderful day!! 🎉
Happy Father’s Day!!!
sounds to me like god has your back never doubt him and happy birthday hugsss
Great to see you seems for ever
Happy Birthday Julie god bless you ❤
Great video. I hope you feel better. If your pain returns don't hesitate to go to the emergency room, it could be many things. An ultrasound or ct scan could help find the problem. Could be ectopic pregnancy, ruptured ovarian cyst, ovarian torsion, appendicitis, etc. Take care.
"Are you just talking to yourself" Lydia😂
Good job Silas!! Love the guitar playing ❤
We pray and ask God to help us in what we think is a small thing to God but big to us and then we are kind of surprised when He answers them. God does care about those things thst are special to us. You are exactly right Julie. So great how you have a extra number now for help when you need it. Great video. Happy early birthday to you. You are the best mom!
Maybe somebody else has already suggested an alternative methylated b vitamin, but have you looked at MaryRuth’s vitamins? Her methyl B12 spray just says that it has “organic mixed berry flavor”-not sure if that is the same thing or not! She also has a B-complex liquid drops, although I don’t know if it’s technically methylated or not? Worth looking into, though!
Always love watching your channel!
There were several suggestions for Mary Ruth’s so I did check it out and just ordered that spray to try. It’s better than what we currently have. Thanks!
Glad you are feeling somewhat better. Take care with your kidneys and keep an eye on! Looking good with yard, and all new additions!!!
Thank you!
I just open up capsules of regular vitamins (seeking health methylated for kids) a half dose and empty them into grape juice. My kid shakes the jar with a lid and happily drinks it. Sugar yes. But none of the other junk and it’s a really hearty vitamin. It makes a huge difference on his emotional stability.
That’s a good idea
In Australia we also call it turf. Had no idea what you were talking about, the first time I heard you call it that
Yup, natural flavors is also a cover for msg. Msg gives me migraines, and stomach issues, and research showed me that. So I pretty much I have to make from scratch or do without. Even organic natural flavors are not good for you either. I have 2 special needs kids and we have to be so careful.
I understand the frustration. It’s hard to find vitamin without it.
Ugh that is awful. I wish they wouldn’t hide terrible things under such pleasant sounding names! 😞
There’s just so much to learn!
We learn new things about diet and make changes but we are limited because we live in town and cannot garden and such with the space we have so we make the best choices we can make from the store.
Natural flavors are on my radar but sometimes choices have to be made and i just pray that the food my children do get do more goot than harm in the long run.
Im not sure what area of Missouri your in. But we had some similar sickness go threw our house, thought it was all gone from the house and then I broke out in a horrible itchy rash, kids then got the rash not as bad. Finally gave in went to urgent care because I was itching myself raw and didnt want kids to get that bad and apparently we have had chicken pox that whole time unknowingly. I never knew chicken pox made your kidneys hurt
Oh wow! That’s no fun at all.
We had it come through our family 5ish years ago. Thankfully it wasn’t too bad!
I had the same concerns about vitamins Julie and my pediatrician reassured me that unless our kids were really picky eaters then she would consider a multivitamin. Our kids eat anything and everything and I try to include fruit and veg at every meal in some capacity (not perfectly of course). Plenty of outside light and running around barefoot and they are healthy and happy. 😂
Yes I agree. I actually don’t give my kids a multi. Only the methylated Bs
I know exactly how you feel!
Love the furniture arrangement and the couch on the porch. When it starts to get cold I would move the rocker in your bedroom and put the couch in there. It would still serve the purpose of a quiet resting or learning space for some.
Love and prayers for all the family and I hope that you have a blessed birthday 🙏🙏💕💕💕🎂🎂
I pray that you are feeling better. I could hear a little sniffly nose.
Love and blessings to you all ❤
🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️ Happy Birthday🎂
Happy Birthday 🎉 I admire you so much.
Happy birthday julie
Could you share the name of the website recommended by the doctor? I would love to access the wholistic medical care provider lists.
If you didn’t already know, Chanca Piedra is known as the stone breaker. It’s good for gallstones, kidney stones, and even gout…
Those chocolate sunflowers are stunning! We just do some individual vitamins for our kids like Vitamin D and C instead of a multivitamin. My kids haven't been tested but I have MTHFR as well.
Yes we do the same! It does seem that if a parent has MTHFR the kids do too. I speculate that it runs through my entire moms side of the family.
We used that seed planter this year and it worked so much better than I was ready to give it credit for!
That’s great to hear!
Garbanzo beans(hummus) has lectins... I would rec' doing castor oil packs on the kidneys...
Can you share the website once you've checked it out? I haven't had any luck finding natural-minded doctors etc. Also, we have given our kids Smarty Pants vitamins in the past with no issues. I too, am noticing natural flavors in everything! It is enough to drive us crazy because once you know, you can't unknow what you are feeding your loved ones.
I hear ya, I hear ya!
Birthday blessings dear
I don't know if this is a vitamin that you would call good or if it has what you are looking for. But it is a all natural chewable for kids. The name is hiya. Just a suggestion. Have a blessed day.
😂❤... oh happy birthday early🤤🌹🎂
Thanks!
Happy early Birthday!
Thanks!
We use Smarty Pants. They aren’t the greatest, but the first year we used them my kids were sick about half as often. So that was good enough for me 😂. Have you checked out Mary Ruth’s?
I’ve used the Mary Ruth’s enzyme but haven’t checked out the rest of the line. I’m going to though! I’ve gotten several suggestions to try them.
Happy birthday
Thanks!
Questo video mi piace molto siete fantastici e simpatici vi adoro vi seguo sempre ciao Julie sono felice di vederti 💓❤️💓❤️💓❤️💓💓💓❤️❤️💓💓 jeremiah e simpatico e duci 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💞💕💕💞💕 vi adoro tutti quanti siete una bella famiglia ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I saw a bottle of CALM on your Shelf....can you tell me if it works and who fo you give it to....everyone?????
What is the most important additives to avoid? I actually hace no idea but my family has had at least 5 generations of obesity and i wonder if we're just poisoning ourselves.
😊🙏
Could you explain what’s wrong with “natural flavors” more?
Have trouble getting kids to swallow pills?Try having them practice with a raisin or chocolate chip! I've gotten all my kids 5 and up to swallow supplements that way.
As far as vitamins for kids are concerned, I have never given any vitamins. But we consumed a lot of fruit and veges. Plus - yeast is a fantasic source of B vitamin and fish rich in oil ( humble herring ) are rich in D vitamin . Best regards and thank you for another lovely family story.😊
Yes I feel the same way about vitamins, except for people who have MTHFR… I’ve been told they can’t get enough Bs from their food. That’s why that’s the only one that I supplement. I’m still learning though! Hoping to find an alternative
@@jasonandjulie have you heard about Root Cause protocol? It's so fascinating. Their approach to b vitamins and MTHFR was SO mind-blowing to me. I learned how to read HTMAs because of root cause and we've been making changes over the past two years because of that knowledge that comes from an HTMA and it's truly been life changing. I had to be on progesterone for my last 3 pregnancies (first 3 were fine🤷) but crazy high doses to maintain the pregnancy. In the middle of my 6th pregnancy, I found root cause immediately implemented and within 4 weeks saw HUGE shifts in my hormones. I was doing labs every two weeks, and with progesterone supplements I struggled to stay above 30. With root cause, I was able to go up to 90 in 4 weeks so they took me off and my numbers went up to 140, where they were supposed to be 2 weeks later. My midwife was shocked and said she's never seen anything like it and since has recommended root cause to her mamas, others with similar results!
@@natalieelskamp9677 can u please link a website? Ty much
Look in to mary ruth multi vitamins
I had a bladder infection, painful for sure. I juiced half a watermelon, rind and all, then drank two 16 oz. glasses. Next day no pain. I won’t use anything else if I feel an infection coming on!
Wow I haven’t heard of that one!
😊
What camera do you use to film?
What was the game you were all playing at the end of the video
House Tour Please..🌹😉
Yes! The “Natural flavors” are so frustrating! It’s in the organic protein powder we love. 🤦🏼♀️
I don’t do multi-vitamins for the kids, just herbs, tinctures, (when needed) and probiotics. Now I need to check the probiotics for the natural flavors…🙈
Benjamin's little but Lydia's big.
A long time ago, long long time, back when I was a kid, there was this big hullabaloo about E numbers in foods; I remember when my dad brought this list home. I think you can't do it all, always, from scratch, you'd have no life, Julie, so with that comes accepting that some things "might" be okay, once in a while. I mean it's like with not exposing your kids to bacteria. Their immune systems suffer. I think you may need to think along those lines here. If only to give yourself some peace of mind.
Oh we definitely are not purists when it comes to food! We try to eat healthy a lot of the time and not worry about the rest
Natural flavors can unfortunately also mean hidden MSG
Natures sunshine kidney activator, castor oil packs for kidney stones
"Strange sickness" please don’t forget covid is still going around!! ❤
Yep! This video is from a year ago so we’re all good now 😊
My dear friend the sky is not going to fall if you don't video a day or two. It is going to take more than that to loose us.The lord tells us he provides a day of rest for us even though it is hard with a family.
💗
If you get kidney stones you will know it.😂
I’d thought so too! Which is why my friends experience surprised me. She had them so bad they had to do surgery to remove them
Well you can be as healthy as you want but there bad things in everything you eat:)
