Bone Broth Breakthrough by Dr. Josh Axe

So for the last four months, I have been dealing with a knee that no longer worked as it should.  The pain was getting pretty intense and I had to make a decision, go to the doctor and get pain pills or the suggestion of knee surgery.  This was what I felt I was facing.  I decided neither sounded like a plan I wanted to follow unless it was absolutely my last resort.  So I went to the local health food store and spoke to a counselor about my problems.

She told me about several options and this was one that I wanted to try.  The product by Ancient Nutrition was called Bone Broth Protein.  It was a powder that could be mixed with water, juice, or mixed into foods.  As I read the label and glanced over the recipe book, I felt that this might be something that made sense.   She explained what she had heard back from many people that had tried it and most results were very positive.  I received the book free with the purchase of the product.

The book does inform you of how to make your own bone broth, which, when I find time, may try to do as well.  But for now in my busy life, the ready made product sounded like my first choice at this time.

The book had some very good sounding recipes that I thought I would like to try.  I am hoping that the benefits of the product will be beneficial to me and that I can avoid further problems with joints and cartilage.  The book also contains a daily plan, but because of work, maybe a bit problematic at times or will have to be a program changer of my current lifestyle, somewhat.  It will take some planning, but good health is worth it!  If the program works and the knee improves, I will let you all know in a future post!

The Family Guide to Aging Parents by Carolyn Rosenblatt, RN.

Now this a different book for me, but when I received a gift card to Deseret Book and went there to shop, I saw this and since I am in this situation, I felt it would perhaps have some good advice for me. And it did.  I now am a bit more aware of things I need to do or consider as my mother ages.  I think it is good to have a reference to turn to because it is not always easy to know what to do, when to do it and how to go about doing some things.

This book written by an RN and an Elder Law Attorney had many good items to consider as parents age and are no longer as capable as they once were.  I highly recommend this book and will have my mother read it also.  Want to cover all the bases!

Sticky Icky Booger Bugs by Sherry Frith

The author, Sherry Frith writes about Cystic Fibrosis, an inherited disease which both of her two sons have.   Their daily trials and medical routines are explained and illustrated in this book so that children can understand how this disease causes difficulties for all those who have it, yet they want to be like other children and play all the games and have all the fun others have.  It is a true story of her sons' experiences in life.  I feel that this is a good book to educate children of the trials and experiences of children who have different circumstances, regardless of what they might be.  It is good for children to realize that each child is different and life may be different but can still be fulfilling regardless of their individual paths in life. 

This is my granddaughter reading the book.  She enjoyed it and felt that it was good to understand that everyone has a different road to follow.
