That is a good find. I've never really used straws but I have seen them myself at a place. Like once!

@Patrick McKenna yes!

I was in Graysville for 3 days. Just got home last night. I cheated. I am definitely suffering. Weight is still the same. But, I have a pretty bad sinus infection. Im overly tired, my stomach is seriously messed up. Every meal i did have during the 3 days contained hamburger buns. Except a sweet pb & j regular white bread and and a processed ham sandwich. I definitely had sugar spikes from them. And other things. Thank goodness this trip was a 1 time thing! I want to just lay down for days right now. I can't though. I have an x-ray this morning in another city, I have to find a place to hang out for the day because I also have to pick up my plant order there but I have over 6 hours in between to wait for it to arrive. Im grabbing my tri factor to take with me. Im going to get in at least 1 extra. I did also when I got back home last night. it did help a lot. I was able to go from no ability to breathing through my nose to capable of it and got some much needed sleep. This is my 3rd time and worse time this year with a sinus infection but its so much worse this time! Please be aware that these cheat meals are dangerous! Yeah, a little bit here or there may not bring on a major crises, but you don't always see or feel the real results. Sometimes, they hide and hit you all at once! I so very much regret this. Its difficult having to be away from your usual and not preparing properly. I definitely am dealing with a lesson that I won't repeat!

@Elizabeth O'Carroll I see the band-aid solutions very often. And people will turn away from natural because they were misinformed. There is no 1 thing to fix such a comprehensive powerhouse of so many integrated works of art!

@Elizabeth O'Carroll Patrick has helped me tremendously! I fully put trust in everything he says as I've seen the results myself! Just cant lose here!

@Patrick McKenna it's all true.

I've been using those essential oils with witch hazel and jojoba oil. This year I've made a lot with beauty berry leaves. I have like 8 quarts. I even sometimes just pick the leaves and rub them on me. They have a somewhat citronella smell that actually works.

@Patrick McKenna I just got my pineapple off the plant a couple days ago. It got ripe sitting in my bay window. Its a darker yellow than store bought. Ive already ate most of it and I'm many a tincture with the core and outter parts I cut off.

I did read that too. But making an extract would really benefit me. So this round I'm going to try that. Next time I'll try dipping in a sauce. Maybe spiced up mayo!
