Do you have ample amounts of water in storage should there be a time you are without electricity?

Yes, we know glass is best.  People freak out about plastic contaminants, but it is not always practical. If you insist on glass only storage - Uline has one gallon glass jugs, and azurestandard.com offers large canning jars. Uline offers plastic jerricans as well, but water storage that does not stack is going to take a lot of space.

I encourage you to heed the experienced survivalists, preppers, retired military. If you need to evacuate...clanking glass is not going to hold up well during travel, not to mention it is extremely heavy! For those concerned about chemicals in plastics - I would tend to be more concerned with the air pollution that typically coincides with natural disasters. Fires, chemical explosions, or these days - nuclear fallout is a not so far fetched reality. (Keeping Lugol's iodine or boron on hand can help with radiation poisoning - as an FYI - oron tablets are issued to our military personnel.)

During a power outage, a cyber attack - which MSM keeps threatening may come from Russia (but those who are IN the KNOW, know from whom it would actually come from), or a potential EMP - DRINKING WATER is the most important item to have on hand.  

The government preparedness site states a household should have 1 gallon of water per person per day. We can survive weeks without food, but only 3 days without water.  If you have pets - don't forget they need water as well.

Take a 10 day blackout as an example -  40 gallons  is needed for a 4 person household.  Longer periods of time are not uncommon in hurricane and tornado torn areas. Here in Wisconsin power grid companies are pretty much on the ball  - but recently we had people without power for three days in southern Wisconsin - perhaps it was longer. It was during this short time without electricity that I realized just how unprepared I was!

As I reviewed my storage of water I realized how grossly I was lacking. I no longer store empty quart canning jars - they are all filled with water.  I have tap water stored, and I have distilled water stored. (I have a MegaHome countertop distiller made of stainless steel with glass carafe.) The latter takes more effort, but it is the least likely to contain bacteria. That said, I add drops of chlorine dioxide to all of my stored tap water. You can get tablets at camping stores like REI, or purchase from KV Labs online - for much less expense.

Which brings me to the inspiration for this post. A search for high quality, BPA free water storage that is stackable to save space, was a recent focus. I came across USA made WaterBricks - manufactured in Ohio. Each holds 13.5 gallons of water, and they conveniently stack on top of one another. They are sold by my local Home Depot store - a 4 pack costs me only $74, with free shipping to my door.

It pays to shop around  - you can thank me later for this information. A popular prepper's site called 4patriots offers survival supplies, including the very same 4 pack of WaterBrick containers for $199.  Yes, each container includes a spigot - a 16.49 value each. That said, I am only going to use one jug at a time - and one spigot can service the whole lot. I just bought a single spigot separately for $16.49 online, as Home Depot did not offer the spigots.

I don't know about you, but grossly inflated pricing rubs me the wrong way at a time when we as Americans should be watching out for one another. If you have other sources, preferably not made in China, that you purchase your water and food storage supplies from, please drop a comment below. 

I don't receive any compensation for plugging Home Depot, but hey - if you shop at azurestandard.com for pantry supplies - bulk spices, organic flours, and much more - I appreciate your entering RitaShimniok1 at checkout as the referral.

Monday night I happened upon Scott Schara's Rumble channel, and I had not listened for some time. It was about the Devil in Disguise... near the end (about the 56 minute mark) Scott  had a video interview with Dr. Michael Yeardon on, who was the Pfizer whistleblower. Yeardon said that we are deceived about Ivermectin as it causes infertility! I did not know this!
The devil is going to try to reduce human reproduction one way or another as that is his greatest hate of humankind. This is one of the goal of the Covid shots, as well as to cut 1/3 of human population globally via adverse reactions, fatalities and turbo cancers.

 I had bought some Iver. in case my parents needed it, but have also been an advocate for God's natural herb - wormwood, which is nature's Ivermectin. Learning this in 2020, I chose to grow it and it flourishes. I truly believe that all Rx have side effects that are not a part of God's plan for His children.

Wormwood is a bitter herb. It is commonly found in absinthe and used to treat digestive issues. For 2025 I have plans to use a variety of herbs that we grow to develop High Vibration Herbals digestive bitters. Although we do offer Wormwood as a dried herb for tea, most people would dehydrate the herb, crush it fine and put it in capsules for personal use. Much easier use, IMO, is taking a tincture - we offer a 2 oz. bottle for $18. Yes, it is very bitter. but tinctures are easy to take. You can dilute a tincture, however, it will be more effective taken directly under tongue. Wait a few seconds and then rid the flavor in your mouth with water or flavorful beverage.

Below is the website to Scott's page in honor of Grace. A number of us went to a rally in support of Grace's family outside the hospital.

Schara also mentioned that he and another has put together a four part series about the Matrix and I just found the link to them on their site. I will be watching the series soon.

You may wish to especially share this information with people taking Ivermectin who are of child-bearing years.    I am not sure what else it may have as a side effect - but do know this drug is in a protocol by Dr. Lee Merritt that is a part of her remedies for cancer. If one has a late stage cancer diagnosis - bearing children is probably the least of one's worries...please pray for divine guidance. I would certainly go full carnivore diet if I had such a diagnosis as I am hearing those with such a curse placed upon them become free of their death sentence by white coats. AND I would be taking 8 capsules of 4Life Transfer Factor PLUS daily, along with 4Life PreO and Glutamine Prime. Reach out to me if you need the protocol.

I certainly would not take Iver. it as a preventative as that would also mean that I buy into the whole "virus" scheme and believe in virology, which has been debunked by my mentor and several other doctors.

Initially, after reading Merritt's protocol a few months ago, I was thinking of following it...as in, "why not - it is a sure way of eliminating parasites." BUT having just learned it decreases fertility - that would indicate to me that it may affect hormones.  Re: parasites, I will stick to the herbal formula that I have come to trust - even though I no longer plan to have children - at least until I have time to scrutinize this drug more.

As for my immune system - I will stick with my whole food Azure supplements - multi vitamin, Mag G, Core Copper and Cod Liver Oil. If I feel run down or want to boost my own immune system for travel  and want a boost - - 4Life transfer factors is my go to. I have discount codes on my website for the brands I have come to trust for myself and my loved ones.

We really, really need to be careful about the sneakiness of the devil.
If you wish to learn more about wormwood Dr. Axe has an informative article. If you would like to grow wormwood, this coming spring I will dig up wormwood from my well established plant.  I charge a small fee more for the time involved.  I transplant young shoots in 3-4" pot, in organic dirt for pickup (perhaps shipping this way for extra fee). I am also willing to package bare root in damp cloth, ziploc and first class shipping.

If your bubble has been burst about Ivermectin - so  has mine. I admit, I did not pray about the use of Ivermectin, and put a false trust in frontline doctors,

Saturday was a day of great celebration as my son was married to an absolutely lovely young woman - and both are after God's heart.
My family celebrated with us, including a brother from out of state. When we get together, we Weber's laugh A LOT! We took lots of pictures with the self-portrait area that was set up and I am sure they will slowly trickle in to my inbox. My sisters and I started it off, and of course the clown of our family, Paul, photo-bombed.
My siblings and I don't always agree with one another on all matters - but in all things love UNITES our family.
It is the same with the Shimniok side of the family, and I am certain the Rettenmund family is the same. My son married into a great family, and they can dance the night away! Children from all the families became instant friends...reminding us of how the world should be.
The room was filled with happiness ...an abundance of endorphins!
What makes you laugh? Do you get enough of it? Laughter truly is the best medicine. It has been shown that those who lack laughter in their lives experience more pain. It is important to figure out what makes you laugh and be purposeful in experiencing more of it in your life. Laughter does not come from material things, but from being with those you love - human or animal. It goes without saying, those who laugh a lot will die far happier than those who do not.

I think we can all agree we need more laughter in our lives, especially in these times.

What you wear matters. Did you know that organic linen fabric has the highest frequency of all fabrics and the very best cloth you could have against your skin?
Yet, it wrinkles and we opt for easy-care polyester and polyester blends. These "plastic" fabrics - no matter how breathable the manufacturer claims them to be - are endocrine disruptors. I understand the dilemmas of clothing shopping, and trying to living a healthy lifestyle can be overwhelming.

May I make one suggestion? Begin with focusing on where you spend 7-8 hours a day on average - your bed. What are you sleeping in and what are you sleeping on. Consider organic cotton sleepwear (if you wear anything at all) and organic cotton sheets. Or even better, organic linen if you can budget them in.

The normal practice in cotton farming has really amped up the use of pesticide and herbicides these past decades. Especially for "bt" cotton, which has become so common and found on most labels. As we spend an average of 7-8 hrs daily with our face buried in a pillowcase (where our primary hormone gland rests) and sleep,  doesn't it make sense to work with your body vs. against it during the self-healing part of the day?

Avocado Green Mattress offers organic cotton and linen bedding. I don't know that it is the best, but it is more readily affordable than other brands. It was a start for me, but I continue to search.

Have you found organic bedding of single fabric, ie all cotton, hemp, or all linen? Most of what I have found is sourced from India, but Rawganique (linen bed sheet set shown in image) sources from USA and Europe, and features Irish linen sheets. My understanding is is that bedding can be had from Texas organic cotton farmers - but have yet to locate a USA company offering it. Please share if you know of it.

Are you already aware and have been sleeping with higher frequency fabrics? Have you been successful in finding organic, no blend sleepwear or bedding that you prefer? I would love to learn about your sources.
This facebook reel talks about the importance of fabrics.  As well, Dr. Monzo covers this rather extensively in his book, The Aleph Tav Body System: Restoring the Bio-Energetic Temple.

Shalom,

Rest is important for the body, mind and soul.
Yet, for those, such as myself who tend to run high in adrenaline and energy, with a racing mind of "my to do list", relaxing does not come naturally. It has to be a purposeful effort.
I need a place where I can step away from distractions of work, client messages, and reconnect with my Creator and the Lover of my soul. It is important for self-care, and when I do not take time for self - my immune system does not function optimally. Two weeks ago I came down with full blown allergies, and once that was in check, one heck of a respiratory imbalance settled in my upper chest, AND shortly after that - crippling sciatica pain.

I did not hesitate to take care of clients with their own wellness emergencies, and ignored my body's exhaustion. On top of the daytime work, I worked out in the yard planting, weeding, until it was too dark to see. I did not give my body rest, and it was clamoring for attention.

I did not take time to go to my place of peace, a space that was created in my backyard...an oasis.
This space was created nine years ago with the help of friends. As I write this, I realize it is nearly nine years ago to the day. Our backyard has always been one that was planted and designed to be a haven for birds and butterflies. My husband had built a small pergola deck, where we would sit Saturday mornings, have coffee and bird watch. It was Jesse's place of peace. When he became sick and could only get around with a wheelchair, friends pitched in to help me disassemble raised bed perennial planters and create a more open space that a wheelchair could access. We were nearly finished with the project, with hopes of wheeling him out to his beloved backyard for Father's Day 2015.

However, the Lord called my beloved Jesse home on June 8th. His presence in the backyard we were recreating for him was witnessed only from above. I will never forget the moment, two days after his life celebration, that a chickadee bathed in the huge "bathing rock" - flew up and lost a feather, which landed in front of me as I was reading my Bible while sitting at the patio table. The message was clear, "All is well with my soul. Everlasting joy is mine!".  The backyard, Jesse's Oasis, has been my place of peace ever since.

I enjoy gathering with family for an outside dinner, girlfriends for coffee or tea, and sitting in the oasis with my newer sweetheart - playing a game of cribbage, watching the flames of the fire pit, or just relaxing and watching the birds, bees and butterflies.

It restores my soul. It is my happy place.

I pray you find your own place where you feel tranquility, peace, and a connection to the One who created each and every one of us, and loves us more than any other.

It's been an interesting and challenging week. Last week my allergies were so bad (and I have never suffered so much from spring allergies before) that I was sneezing, wiping my weepy eye constantly (sunlight was a real issue), going through tissues...I started on Nettles tea and other herbs.I couldn't see the computer screen very well at all after a bit.

Finally Thursday morning I made time to run a scan on self and imprinted drops. Friday I put pollen in a jar from bushes I was trimming, imprinted a patch with result of my eye scan and by Saturday afternoon my eye was no longer weeping and irritated. Allergies overcome, yeah!

However, on Friday afternoon I noticed a black speck on top of my foot after I showered. I just showered...how could I have dirt? I brushed my hand over it...a definite bump and it was not coming off. It was no bigger than a pin prick, but I suspected it was a tick. My back was hurting, so I couldn't inspect closely. Taking pictures with my phone were not clear.

Kurt was coming out soon and he could help - I know he uses the hot match method (this tick was too small for the tick twister tool). I thought "well, if heat backs them out lets blast it with my tera hertz wand". I aimed the wand on that little bugger until I couldn't stand the heat. Seemed like a good idea at the time.

Kurt arrives to rescue me from the tick. He had never seen any tick so tiny (see how small it is in that vial?) - I held a magnifying glass over it while he lit, blew out matches, and put the hot match stub to the tick - typically they back right out (being a backcountry hiker he has seen this work numerous times). Well, this dude was not backing out.

Why...well, we suspected I killed it with the heat of the teraHz wand. Most was extracted - as you can see in the vial. There was a dark spot on my foot still, so I used the Draw n Mend salve from Secret Garden of Health and Healing on a band aid. Within two days the black spot was gone.

I immediately started on Boiron Ledum Palustre every three hours (do you think I could find my own tick kit? No, I had to open up one of my kits packaged for sale.) Knowing how the Blood Tonic formula clears poison ivy toxins from the blood stream I took that as well. I took 4Life Zinc Factor as my natural antibiotic (ionic colloidal silver and zinc), have been on high immune support with transfer factors and herbs.

Monitoring self with the Qest4 scans- imprinted drops and patches and running a daily scan. And I keep repeating, "No weapon formed against me shall prevail!" Isaiah 54:17

To be hit yet again, Saturday evening I started with a dry cough, Sunday morning had no voice, and major sciatica pains. I used the BioMat Sunday evening with the Tera Hertz Wand for my back pain. The BioMat generated a major detox of junk that needed to work its way out of my lungs...which I spent all of yesterday doing. I was miserable but it was all good. I nebulized, drank lots of tea, continued with immune support...and I can tell today is going to be a better day. Grateful Yeshua is my Healer.

Sometimes the God-called healers need their own time to heal - I am taking it slow this week.

Do you use krill oil for an Omega 3 supplement?
Years ago I was on a whale watching excursion, and we were able to see a whale feed on the krill that were themselves consuming phytoplankton on top of the water. I had always assumed that krill were TOP feeders, and the biologist telling us about sea life did not state otherwise.

As well, I had been taught, that the best sources of fish oil Omegas were from the tiniest of sea life - sardines, anchovies, and krill. Being small, they had less toxins such as mercury.  The same podcast interview, which as a part of the Truth About Cancer series, said to avoid bottom feeding seafood such as shrimp and lobster. Bottom feeders are scavengers and consume pretty gross things...such as decaying sea animals.

Per Wikipedia: "Krill are small, shrimp-like crustaceans that are found in the oceans and are an important part of the marine food chain. They are omnivores, which means they eat both plants and animals. Their diet consists mainly of: Phytoplankton: microscopic plants that float near the surface of the water, such as diatoms, dinoflagellates, cryptophytes, prasinophytes, and other types. Zooplankton: small, usually microscopic, animals that drift in the water, such as copepods and other small crustaceans. Algae: various types of algae, including green, red, and brown algae. Small invertebrates: such as small fish, larvae, and other small animals."

All of the above was on the page hit...it is what one could readily read, without clicking on "more". When I did so - I was surprised to learn that krill may also eat:
Per Wikipedia: "Detritus: decaying organic matter that sinks to the seafloor.
Carrion: the flesh of dead animals."

Although krill oil contains Vitamins A, D, E Dr. Alphonzo Monzo states, "I find it hard to believe that the krill oil will be clean. Krill are Biblically unclean. All unclean animals are scavengers and eat the toxins."

As we should be cautious, and avoid eating unclean shrimp, crab and lobster, so as we shall avoid krill - for the bottom of ocean is known for settlement of heavy metals such as mercury, chemical sediment, and diseased or decaying flesh.

Regarding Omega 3 supplements - it would be wise to ensure that the company offering krill oil has multiple testing done for purity from outside lab sources.

Biofilms. More and more I see biofilms, whether in the gut or other areas of the body – coming up in Qest4 scans. It seems people are being “flooded” with biofilms. With everything we are being exposed to in our environment it is not surprising.
 
Two products that Purely Living Wellness has found to be effective in biofilm blasting are from Azure Wellness (azurestandard.com). The ParaPunch GI Defender product, which the company labels as a biofilm buster, is one. This product addresses a number of pathogens found often in the GI system, and it is solid in its effectiveness.

However, we discovered another product offered by Azure Well  to be very effective in breaking up biofilms.  It is Azure Well’s CircuHeart Enzymes, which scored the highest score possible for a supplement, during a Qest4 client that had a number of bacteria biofilms showing up in their scans. Circulation was also an issue, and I assumed it was to address those issues. However, the person ended up passing several, very long specimens which another practitioner believed to be round worms. CircuHeart Enzymes contains nattokinase, which is  mentioned in the article as a biofilm buster. (Important: the person was also taking Azure Well's Rapid Liquid Gallbladder Support as she definitely needed extra drainage support.)

The client believes that the biofilm protecting these large parasites was broken down and the person was then able to eliminate the worms (she described them as many inches in length). Until I provide a follow up scan I will not know for certain that these biofilms have been addressed, when I retest.

I appreciate that this particular PMA member is also a researcher. Wanting to investigate further the ingredients in the CircuHeart Enzymes product, she came across the article regarding biofilms, autism, and the –kinase enzymes. Check out the article regarding autism and biofilms here.  I have not had the time to research further, the product the author mentions, contains several --kinase enzymes.

It is important to note that the liquid form off Azure Well's CircuHeart does NOT contain the enzymes and in my opinion, would not address biofilms as suc. I have put in a request for the company to produce a biofilm buster that contains all the   It is also important to let you know that you can save 10% on purchases at AzureStandard.com by entering code PurelyLiving10 at checkout.

While on the Azure Well/Azure Standard site, a product I am very impressed with when it comes to binding heavy metals, breaking down uric acid crystals which promote arthritis, gout, stone formation; reduces amyloid plaque in the brain (precursor to Alzheimer's), and atherosclerosis - arterial plaque, is IP6 Supreme. It is guaranteed free of nano-technology.

I am researching IP6 with Inositol, and am astounded by all  of its benefits. It appears to be a little known product for all that ails as we age. It is the only heavy metal detoxifier that can bind toxic displaced iron that is stored deep into the tissue. Oh, and did I mention studies have shown it reduces tumors?  PMA members have access to my research article - The Truth About Copper and Iron, under VIP Member Resources. I hope to publish an article on IP6 in early summer.

Detoxing should  not be taken lightly. Most of the time if you are binding you need a drainer, and might you need a chelator, or mitochondrial support? For the benefit of Olylife P90 users I created a Qest4 scan to help determine what a person needs to properly detox.  The service fee is nominal and may be found on the appointment menu page of our website, number 16 on the list. We provide the service to any PMA member, of which the membership fee is $5. The detox support scan is $25 total and we can provide this with a hair sample and filled out membership application. You will receive a PDF of the results, Qest4 recommendations. A number of companies are represented in this scan.  The way I look at it, why not take the guesswork out of detoxing? And these days, it is more important than ever to spend wisely.

In peace and health,
