Anne Bradshaw's Blog

So sorry for lack of posts recently. We're in middle of a drawn-out house move. Back to normal by summer's end, I hope. Thanks for your patience.



Meanwhile, below is the link to a recent blog talk radio show in which Bernice Bennett and I chatted about my True Miracles with Genealogy books. We were joined by some fine storytellers who shared miracles of their own - Natonne Kemp, Sandra Taliaferro, Carol Kostakos Petranek, David DeFord, Andrea Kelleher, and Angela Y. Walton-Raji. Sit back, relax (while you wait for the radio to load), and enjoy!



Oh, and if the post below begins playing first, simply click on the stop button for that one before clicking the 'on' arrow on this one. Don't know why the other one keeps kicking in - it's a mystery.

I recently read a book that fits right in with my own ideas about health and nutrition. The book is titled Nutrition: A Word of Wisdom and the author is Dr. Scott Johnson from Utah, USA.



Highly Recommended

I highly recommend reading this book, and then putting it where it can be easily referenced on a regular basis. It is well written in a comfortable style that informs, and also inspires readers to take better care when choosing what to eat each day. It follows guidance given by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in what is known as the Word of Wisdom.



There is nothing pushy about the book. It tells it as it is and then leaves individuals to decide which direction is best for them. Dr. Johnson says, ". . . the Word of Wisdom is a revelation from God, the observance of which will prevent unnecessary suffering and death, and enhance the health of all who endeavor to live it to its fullest."



The following information about Dr. Johnson is taken from the website, www.selfgrowth.com/experts/scott_johnson:


























Main Areas: Health & Wellness, Naturopathy, Life Coaching, Wellness Coaching

Career Focus: Author, Certified Professional Coach, Traditional Naturopath

Affiliation: Clayton College of Natural Health, Fowler Wainwright Institute of International Coaching



Dr.
Scott Johnson drastically changed his life as a result of being
diagnosed with a chronic illness, ankylosing spondylitis. After being
treated with modern western medicine unsuccessfully, he sought
alternative methods to take care of his health concern. After a
significant amount of research, he happened upon herbs that benefited
his health. This gave Scott a great desire to learn more about health
and alternative healing methods. He earned a bachelor of science in
natural health and a doctor of naturopathy from Clayton College of
Natural Health.



Scott has helped numerous people learn how to manage their health
concerns through natural and non-invasive methods. He received his
Professional Coaching Certificate through Fowler Wainwright
International Institute and now helps inspire wellness-minded
individuals to achieve their health and wellness goals through tailored
wellness coaching.



Dr. Johnson's first book, Nutrition A Word of Wisdom, proivdes sound nutritional counsel based on naturopathic principles and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints Word of Wisdom.





Dr. Johnson has gained a vast knowledge of natural health, herbs,
disease management, life and wellness coaching, homeopathic remedies,
dietary supplements, nutrition, and naturopathy. He utilizes this
knowledge to help others learn how to support the natural healing power
of the body. His practice of naturopathy has given him a personal
witness of the healing power of natural methods and the body's ability
to heal itself.



The book is available on Amazon at www.amazon.com/dp/0578022079/.

My Review of Stored Treasures, a memoir by Minnie Crane with Smadar Belkind Gerson.



Stored Treasures ~ A Memoir

Stored Treasures by Minnie Crane and her great-granddaughter Smadar Belkind Gerson is a fascinating book, full of interesting photographs and captivating stories from Minnie's difficult childhood. After reading the complete memoir, I feel like I've met the family and struggled with them through their tumultuous history spanning two world wars, pandemics, and the Great Depression.



Born Menuche Kranowitz in Belitsa, Russia in 1896, Minnie changed her name to Minnie Crane when entering the USA through Ellis Island in 1914. Her birth town eventually became part of Belarus, a Jewish community destroyed by the Nazis.

Inspiring and educational Avid genealogist, Smadar Belkind Gerson, shares Minnie's remarkable writings in a way that is both inspiring and educational. This book truly is a treasure worth reading by anyone interested in the Jewish immigration to America in the early 1900s.



I recommend it as a well-written and accurate record of events that define world history.



The book can be found on Lulu here .Anne Bradshaw

I haven't yet read The Dynamite Story of Alzheimer's Recovery by Allen K. Golden BA Ed, but it comes highly recommended by a friend so I've copied below the notes from Amazon's page for the Kindle version (click here) and the paperback versioni (click here). It seems to me important that as much information as possible needs to circulate if it can help those who suffer from this disease.



Author Allen K. Golden

Allen K. Golden BA Ed is a man who has experience with healthy alternatives to traditional medicine. When he learned how it is was possible to combat Alzheimer's Disease he moved forward to find out more. Spending countless hours doing medical research, Golden was able to find significant journal articles and other information to shed light on his research. Knowing that it is now possible to treat Alzheimer's and many other diseases with some very simple ingredients, along with pharmaceuticals, he had to share the wealth of his findings. Once the fire was in his heart he simply had to find more information to support this theory. It is his sincere hope that people who are battling Alzheimer's and other diseases will be able to try alternatives and find success. While there are no absolute guarantees, these findings foster hope in the never-ending battle with Alzheimer's Disease.

Empathy for those who are facing Alzheimer's Disease

One thing that ties many of the neurological disorders together is that the neurons are damaged. This is due in part to nutrition and pathogens which prevent normal functioning of the brain. These diseases have been termed "diabetes of the brain." The amazing fact is that the brain neurons are damaged and the use of an easy to use product is causing recovery. This book is my effort to put information in an easy to understand approach. It is with empathy for those who are facing Alzheimer's Disease, whether as a patient or caregiver, to have information at hand which can be quickly applied.
