My youngest didn't sleep well until she was two. If it wasn't for green smoothies I don't think I would have made it through. ;) <br /><br />Nutrition is KEY! This is what I would do if I were you. Dealing with sinus issues I would totally give up ALL animal products for a while, until I felt my immune system was better on top of things. Most animal products are extremely mucus forming (especially dairy and red meat). Don't worry there are certain healthy animal products that you could add back in later if you want. <br /><br />I would drink that water and green smoothies like crazy. Be sure to add plenty of greens to those smoothies. That's where there is lots of concentrated nutrition that will help with tiredness. For a quart of green smoothie I do about 1 cup of water then blend in greens until the blender is at about 3 cups then I add the frozen fruits. So it's really GREEN! Adding some super potent greens like Spirulina, or I love Sun Warriors Ormus Greens, to a smoothie is a way to easily make it really potent too! But you may want to get used to green first before doing that.<br /><br />I found myself even after my baby finally slept through the night that I was still tired. I nursed her for over 18 months and even with green smoothies (that I didn't make near as green as I do now) I had gotten myself somewhat depleted. So I turned the amazing herbs I had learned so much about. I have been taking Dr. Christopher's Thyroid Maintenance Formula and his Master Gland Formula for a while now and feel that it has really helped. Because of all the toxins our bodies have to deal with most of us have some issues with our endocrine system. These herbs just help to feed the Thyroid and the Pituitary glands which are both major players in the endocrine system. I also love that all of Dr. Christopher's formulas are just herbs and food!<br /><br />Anyway since I don't want to overwhelm you more then you already are I'm trying to keep this simple. Know that this is just my personal experience and I do feel when you are well nourished most things self correct. But obviously if you feel your tiredness is more then just lack of nutrition and sleep don't hesitate to get proper help. I have found Hormone issues can also cause Chronic tiredness but again I have found nutrition and herbs can really help with that. <br /><br />Also a good night of uninterrupted sleep even just once in a while is amazingly healing! If at all possible see if Dad or Grandma can help out for a night once in a while. Of course if your still nursing this might not be possible. Know that I have been there and I understand. She will eventually sleep, in the mean time nourish yourself the best you can and know you simply won't be 100% until you can get good sleep.<br /><br />Oh by the way if you are still nursing the thyroid and master gland formulas may not be the best idea because they won't help your baby to get more sleep. If I had know about Be Young's Quiet Scent essential oil blend when my baby wasn't sleeping well I for sure would have tried that with her.<br /><br />I hope any of this makes sense to you. If not feel free to email me or ask more questions here. I wish you the very best!!!Tammiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03519210216151040312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7015641473202244138.post-36508911194552848212011-05-10T18:57:23.784-06:002011-05-10T18:57:23.784-06:00Thanks!

We try to eat alot of fruits and veggies already but not nearly enough. What would you recommend for me?

So yeah you are right the Kid-E-Mune is a great immune booster and preventative. Kid-E-Well has those same properties but also helps to fight syptoms of flu and fever. We do use this sometimes in our family (more often when the kids were younger)but most often by the time I think about it for fever or something they are already over it. These days the kids typically don't have a fever and when they do it isn't for very long.<br /><br />But yes thanks for mentioning it. It is one I keep on hand and a great formula to have!Tammiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03519210216151040312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7015641473202244138.post-34929525222066618762011-02-21T21:14:25.974-07:002011-02-21T21:14:25.974-07:00Hey Tammie, thanks for this list!

I'm a big believer in Kid-e-well, so far i only have two little kids but they never seem to have a cold for much longer than a day because i just load them up with kid-e-well. i'm wondering, can you tell me what the difference is between kid-e-well and kid-e-mune? i thought that kid-e-mune was more preventative and kid-e-well was better for when you need to kill a cold fast. can you tell me why you prefer kid-e-mune? i've always been a little confused about those two.megandjonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10887251146602171261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7015641473202244138.post-28691324620560498282011-02-16T22:14:01.713-07:002011-02-16T22:14:01.713-07:00Wanderer: I will have to think on that I have nev...Wanderer: I will have to think on that I have never "blog hopped"? before.<br /><br />Teresa: Thanks for the info many of those Chinese herbs can be good stuff.<br /><br />Kat: Hummm Favorite resource book I have a few in fact I need to get a list of those back on here.

If it were me I would probably do only 2 of the bigger capsules and 2 of Red Raspberry leaf. I would probably just keep the herbs separate too.<br /><br />Hormones can be pretty tricky. I think consistency is key and remembering that our liver has to process them along with just about everything else. I have found cleansing and nourishing the liver can be a great help for depression. The MindTrac is also excellent to help support and nourish along the way!Tammiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03519210216151040312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7015641473202244138.post-8296488446534680082011-02-16T15:45:00.273-07:002011-02-16T15:45:00.273-07:00For the chaste tree berry/womenly stuff...do you j...For the chaste tree berry/womenly stuff...do you just pack a capsule with it or is there are certain amount that works better than another? I have the size 00 capsules. And would you mix it with the red raspberry leaf or take them in two separate capsules?<br /><br />I'll have to check out MindTrac too. I'm coming off prescription depression meds and am sometimes a mess, but am trying so hard to not go back on them. I think it's mostly hormonal as it's worse at "those times of the month." I'll try the herbs listed above first, then the MindTrac if I need to.crazy4boyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11797982222542135378noreply@blogger.com
