I guess it has been a while since I wrote or
did anything. My husband had a stroke - has prevented me from doing many
normal things the last year. I have not worked on or looked at my site in
quite some time. Those that have requested links - I am sorry for the delay
- it could not be helped... taking care of my dear husband has become number
one priority - I have been working outside the home to provide for us.
Thanks.
Peace, Lexi

So - why do I say "Nature's Lithium". Thought
I'd take an opportunity to explain that right here - even though on the
start page made more sense *smirks*. The products I sell here provide
complete body care. The feeling one experiences is similar to the negative
ion effect from sitting at the beach (or any body of water really). It evens
out your systems and makes you feel good - so naturally - I thought
"Nature's Lithium". I probably did a really poorly trying to get that
across, but - I hope you now sort of understand.
Peace, Lex

Little steps - little changes daily - soon it
will truly be mine ;) Keep checking back... never know what might be deleted
ha ha ha!! Lexi
Later that day - Dear Lord this html stuff is
horrible!!! I am just going to have to deal with the fact that I cannot make
it look good on everyone's screen... Lex
22 March 2007
Why? Because I can.
Please forgive me - some of this is from my
previous site - I have to upload the pages and am slowly.... if ever I had a
vauge online diary - this is it. Enjoy a look inside Lexi's head.
Regardless... the renovation I have been promising for two years is
underway... eventually I may even get a real blog space up with proper
software. Until then.... y'all are stuck with this! One more thing - don't
ask me where I get this stuff - most often I will not remember. Could be an
article I read ten years ago - could be random thoughts rattling around in
my head. Whatever it is - I'm hoping it is helpful or insight.
Peace. Lexi
22 October 2005
It's been a while. I find myself preparing for
a late season hurricane. I'm sure I'll look back and wonder why we are still
here!! We have yet to move. Health problems - know the doctors here, you
know how it is.
I plan on upgrading and making my site easier
to navigate, but after we move! Yeah - I'm a dreamer....
Sometimes I wonder if people are actually
benefiting from my site. I have some new information on new (to me) products
- hoping to post that again soon too...
I've gotten some of the nicest emails. I truly
hope I'm helping some of you out there...
Peace, Lexi

Well - haven't moved yet but do have a new
page up - over there on the left - as a result of many questions...
Candida Help... Enjoy. Lexi
21 May 2005
We're moving ... from Sunny S. Florida to --
somewhere cooler and nice. Can't take it here anymore really - it's changed.
Too many memories -- too much hot stink I suppose. Florida has been
good to me - but not my upper respiratory system! I've been taking this
product by Pure Herbs Inc. - Cansol. It works really good combined with lots
of acidophilus. Woo hoo!! Ah - to live without mold.
I'm reminded of a poem that was in the book
"The Outsiders" by S.E. Hinton I believe -- the poem is by Robert
Frost
.... "Nothing Gold can Stay"-- something about nature's first gold being
green.... anyway -- that's what I thought of when I thought of my "little
buddy" - YES again... the cat. It's been almost a year, maybe it has
been a year - I believe it will be one year near August - has that much time
passed already? It still hurts -- for lots of reasons. So - I've tried this
stuff 5-HTP. I'm a little moody - can you tell?! It really helps ground me.
Don't know if it would help any of you out there -- my husband tells me to
use the rubber mallet. Ha! Funny. I have insomnia -- still have not really
fixed it - I am really glad to be sleeping sometimes now; went three years
in my early twenties without sleep -- that -- was NOT fun. I think
it's probably many things -- different for everyone. Pain, parasites,
worry, fear, even elation. Mania can probably cause it too, as well as
improper digestion (bet you were wondering how I'd tell you to do an enema
or cleanse <G> snuck it in ha ha!!). Anyway ... garbage in garbage out ....
that's what I've learned over the years... Purple grape juice helps, and
it's yummy; very good for diabetics I hear, but I'll have to check on that
for y'all.
I'm sleepy and hurting from packing up the
house -- nite. This has turned more into a "blog" than advice..... OOPS.
Peace centers.
"Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf's a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay." -- by Robert Frost (not sure of date)

18 April 2005
Well -- so I have a website, I can leave my
life as open a book as I wish -- isn't that special?! I know someone out
there appreciates my babble.... I try not to assume anything anymore, then
things are pleasant surprises <wink>.
My life is changing quite a bit these days. My
writing is getting -- different. I hope better, but if not -- we all have
room for improvement. Things are really good, I mean, of course I'm always
trying to better myself, my surroundings -- be a better wife, but you know,
life is short. I say that too much - but it is. I contacted my sister
recently, after -- gosh, must have been some 13, 14 years.... I contacted my
best friend too, but she didn't write back -- I figure she has her reasons.
Maybe we've both changed too much. My sister wrote me, it was nice.
All too often we get wrapped up in things, part of societies problems maybe
-- transient, immediate country that we have. We are truly spoiled. I do
love my life, maybe some things I should have done differently, but the
point is, that I am here, and have grown enough to know that love is to be
cherished. I thought of my sister often, which is why now, after all this
time I'm dedicating one of my babbles to her. I love her; always have.
Something like that doesn't just end, but the pain of separation eases with
time. I hope, that one day, I will be at her table again laughing and
enjoying life. My niece grew up -- I'm so proud of her, my sister too.
I can't wait to meet my sister's husband.
Life is so full of wonder and amazing things.
If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you might miss a kind
deed, an offered hand, an olive branch -- peace -- serenity. Find your
heart, find your passion -- live like this is the only life you have and
make the most of everything. I quote often, though I have no idea
where it came from -- I should research that tonight like the quote from
"Pump Up The Volume" but I'm a dork, and I probably won't. Here it is
-- found it, or at least one reference:
"You got to sing like you don't need the money
Love like you'll never get hurt
You got to dance like nobody's watching
It's gotta come from the heart if you want it to work." -- taken from
"Come From The Heart" recorded by Kathy Mattea, written by Susanna Clark &
Richard Leigh
So anyway these sites below -- they touched
me. Go to them ... ponder things, call someone and tell them you love them,
and that without them in your life, it would have been a little empty,
because the truth is, you don't know if today is your last day.

Ah, my 20th post. I'm in an oddly peaceful
mood tonight. Seems I'll have a week to myself. I may get ahead on my
homework, I may ponder life some, commune with my potted plants; I may work
on my site more. I have no expectations, and my options are limited only by
my lack of creativity.
I've put up two new pages regarding crystals.
I find these sorts of things interesting. Life is much more simple
than we humans tend to make it. We need to have purpose, rather than just
being. I'm reading the Tao of Pooh right now -- then starting Atlas Shrugged
this week -- odd sort of insight to me isn't it. At first, the thought
of being with just myself (and my little kitten) scared me -- now I am oddly
at peace. Goodness shall return, and equilibrium of life has come .... what
comes around goes around, and it is my time for serenity and prosper.
I couldn't be happier, though I do miss the trees in the back yard!! Silly
landlord -- I can't wait to own again. I plan to one day have a really
awesome garden, where I will be spending a majority of my time -- outside,
communing with nature.
Life throws some hard balls. Don't be ashamed
to not know how to respond -- but DO respond. Keep your wits, deal, and move
on. Life is beautiful. Breath it in, rejoice, and always love
yourself. I'm not talking vanity here, but being comfortable in your own
skin is vital to life -- I think perhaps that is what causes so many
addiction problems, lack of self, or self assurance. Pretty simply really
when you stop and think about it.... now, go be.
May light surround you -- Lexi
26 March 2005
It looks like it has been a while since I've
put up something to ponder. Well let's see... you wouldn't believe the
amount of stuff most people have in their backed up in their colons. The
recent "obesity epidemic" is evidence of a dying culture. One has to wonder
whether our "culture" was something good if this is to where it led us --
severely overweight and rude. Anyway, good colon cleanse, and/or fast,
and/or enema is great to do some spring cleaning on the ol' pipes. I have
some great products, as do many stores. I know mine work. The weight loss
program is great too, so if you need to shed some pounds to look great in
that new bikini this summer, you know where to look!
On another note -- I ponder many things, not
just cleaning myself out!
Friendship -- ever wonder what it means to say
-- your best friend? Every wonder why we lose touch, but didn't mean to?
Ever wonder what that superficial unity in this country really gets people
-- are they happy being so transient and responsibility-less? In the end, we
are the only ones responsible for our own destiny. Before I do or say
something, I often think, is this how I want to be remembered forever? I
have my moments of strong opinion, I have days I just don't feel well --
everyone does, but more and more, on a regular basis, I'm seeing a world
where no one is responsible for anything, and it's a cruel, cruel time. Make
the best of your life, it may be the only one you have .... unless you
believe in re-incarnation -- to which I say -- if you screw up this time,
next time will be more difficult! Get a grip, get a life, clean your pipes!
Ha ....
So anyway -- I dyed my hair black. I know, not
the nerdy herb thing to do -- I eat cheeseburgers sometimes too -- so sue
me. It's why I fast and clean out -- though I'd imagine I would do it
regardless. I wondered if people treated blondes and brunettes
differently, really -- well, they don't look at my hair then my chest now...
I don't get asked if I need help in the store or mall. I kind of like the
peace.
Take care health nuts ... will talk to you
again soon.... friends, family -- I bid you adieu. Much love and peace to
you all, and have a super Easter if you celebrate.
I think it's time I put a page two on here
.... and move things around a bit. I'm forgetting how to do this web stuff!!
It's been too long -- for many things ... welcome life with open arms, and
cherish your blessings, because what you have right now, is life, now get
outa here and go live it!
16 October 2004
Sorry about the delay.... hurricanes make life
difficult.
The most important thing I can tell you is ...
be you. No matter what it is ... be you. Feel your soul.. reach for it ...
Enjoy what you enjoy without remorse ....
13 August 2004
Well. We were missed by Hurricane Charley. I
have a two week break from school. What do you think, should decadence and
partying take over my brain? Or should I just put my feet up, grab a cup of
Chamomile tea, and reflect on my life yet again. Oh the dilemma.
I keep finding things from my old boy around
the house. Makes me ponder life and death. frequently. Especially as I sit
here tired, having worked hard, studied hard, and now not sure what to do
with the two weeks off.
There's more out there than we know. Don't
know how I know this for sure, but I do. So much of this world pains me, but
then so much of it is SO incredibly beautiful -- breathtaking. I often
wonder what it is exactly God had intended for me when he plopped me here.
The question of most debate -- why are we here anyway?
Don't know ... I just try to live in a
somewhat respectable manner. Don't generally do things, I wouldn't want done
to me... or for me... it's been quite a journey. I was a real head case
years back. I still don't let go of things easily, so if you've hurt me ...
I might still hold it against you! Kidding .... but don't expect a warm
welcome.
Well.... eat your greens. Don't eat too much
cheese, and if you do, have some prunes.
Stick a fork in me, I'm tired. "So be it"
(Pump up the Volume 19-- something... eighty something I think... maybe
1990. I'll check on that).
G'nite friends. Sleep well.
As always, Lexi.
2 August 2004
It's been a rough time here. I've gone back to
school, and been working hard. In all of the turmoil, I've lost my little
black cat. He was by no means little, but we called him "Little Buddy". His
name was Domino. He was old, and ill. Which brings me to an off herb
subject.
Mourning -- how do we adjust to losing those
we love, be it pet or person. Both are difficult. I cried for two days;
cried myself to sleep. My darling little boy is gone. He gave something
special to my life; I shall never forget, or forsake. He was my baby.
It gets easier day by day. I know he's around in spirit. I still well up
with tears as I sit writing this little blurb. His life was meaningful to
me, more so than I could ever put into words here. He was a charming
buggar, so much so that my husband often joked we should have named him
Casanova, rather than Domino -- with his little white patch of fur on his
neck, that oddly resembled a heart.
I will remember the good times. I will
remember his love. The desperate aching in my heart shall subside. The very
truth of the matter is, life will go on, without me having my beloved cat.
Most people don't give concert to "just an animal"; however, I know that
there are those of you out there that understand, just what it is that I am
going through now.
So how do I mourn. I cry. I remember his utter
and complete faith that I was a good person, and would take care of him. I
remember he loved unconditionally, whether I looked bad, smelled like
garlic, or forgot to brush him. He loved with an intensity that most humans
cannot fathom. I know you dog lovers know this kind of utter trust and love.
My cat behaved more like a dog, what I can I say. He played hard, he loved
hard, and he died, I hope, peacefully. It's funny to me, how people treat
their pets, and they cannot treat other humans well. My little buddy taught
me something about that, there is always more room in a heart, for more
love, and if you never open up to someone, how will you know how to feel.
I had intended to put up my cold sore page
this evening; instead, I again found my thoughts drifting to my Domino.
While I wish him love and warmth into the light, I have been touched, and
will carry part of him with me -- always.
It is noted in the Odyssey, by Homer, when
Odysseus arrived home after an absence of 20 years, disguised as a beggar,
the only one to recognize him was his aged dog Argos, who wagged his tail at
his master, and then died.
Never underestimate the love of a pet.
Good night friends ... good night Domino. Rest
in Peace my dear cat.

Well, I'm managing to get a couple words up
once a month huh? Impressed? I'm not. I should be doing better. Life -- as
always -- has been full of surprises. Some, not so bad. Others -- well,
maybe if I knew you all better, I'd say...
Life is short. I forget that sometimes;
wrapped up in the monotony of sadness and spite. I look around, think
I should be somewhere else... I didn't plan to be where I am now, but none
the less.... I am here. I have what I need, and I have my husband, who
I dearly love. Not too many people know -- I owe him my life. I love
him. I tell him all the time, but if today was our last, I always wish for
him to know that.
People get involved in petty games, trickery,
lies, deceit -- why ARE we here anyway? I don't know ... I can only simply
tell you (because it's MY page, and I can rant on it if I choose to, about
anything! -- ha ha... just messing with you) is, if you're with the one you
love, and perhaps you're lucky enough to not hate what you do (which, by the
way, is a state of mind. You CAN make good out of anything) then you are
blessed.
I've had some rough times... I don't
regret anything I've done -- I am only sorry, that I may have hurt people I
love. I don't always do the brightest move ... I try to do what is
right for me. It gets lost in the translation sometimes.... anyway .... This
is my herb site, I'm trying to help people as best I can.
Go tell someone you love them. Tell everyone.
Be happy to be alive. And, Dance like no one is watching. Go dance in
the rain.... I swear, you'll feel different. Barefoot, in the rain. The
wonder of life is awesome.

Thought and Relaxation
First, I hope everyone had a lovely weekend.
We had the weather here for some serious out door enjoyment. My
husband and I, in fact, went to smell the orange blossoms at our local
botanical gardens. I can't tell you what a succulent, beautiful smelling
thing this is. Simply divine. The rest of the gardens are incredible as
well. Very peaceful and centering activity to do on a gorgeous day. This
brings me to my thoughts for the moment....
Some days I have so many ideas for this page.
Others -- my days are filled with tedious work that just fries out my head
so totally that I just want to scream, jump up and run outside to enjoy the
day, rather than sit here and work.
Herbs can help. Herbs do very much help
me. There are many I can suggest depending on many other aspects of your
life.
Mostly, taking the time to step away and
recognize the day, and try to find some inner tranquility, will do you
wonders.
Om Shanti.

Drugs
I regret that I would have to put this up. I
have been asked so many times, that I feel I should post this message. I do
not have knowledge of "hiding" illicit, illegal drugs from employer urinary
testing. If I had it, I would not give it to you. I do not condone drug use,
nor do I condemn it, however; as it is illegal, I will not propagate
"handling" of it. This is my choice, all I ask is your respect. I believe,
as always, it is your choice what you put in your body.
14 March 2004
Drinking
If you must drink. Take zinc. One to three the
day you know you intend to imbibe. It's good to take one a day anyhow.
Also, for each drink, drink one glass of water. Keeps your body
hydrated and gets out impurities much quicker.
04 March 2004
Balance.
Life is about balance. If you balance
yourself, your body and soul will thank you. We are all made up of matter
and energy -- proper flow is a necessity. Think about it, if you don't get
enough sleep, if you don't eat right, how do you feel?
When you put bad energy in (processed snack
foods, steroid filled dairy or meat), or don't take the time to take care of
yourself, you will feel bad. Balance your diet and mind, and you will feel
better about life, permanently. You don't have to give up or give in, to
feel good. Live moderately, love deeply. Your soul will shine.
03 February 2004
Hmm. Seems sinus and flu season is upon us. If
you're in South Florida like I am, you will notice the roads are also more
congested this time of year! Might want to take some more C. I find that a
steamy bath with a little Eucalyptus oil, or Tea Tree is really good for the
whole body. Helps the aches, and the respiratory system. Also a little
Taheebo (Pau D'arco) tea helps the break up the congestion, and in addition
is good immune support. I like chicken broth and peppermint tea. Not mixed
together. The chicken broth, is just good, makes you feel good. The
peppermint tea, if you inhale deeply while you drink it, it can clear up
some respiratory problems. So get a good book, your slippers and robe, and
curl up to ride it out. I have more ideas, but it's really late, and I'm
quite tired. So, g'nite friends.
08 January 2004
If you have leg cramps often, try taking some
organic chelated calcium or vitamin C. A Cal/Mag/Zinc combination is always best. Leg
cramps can also mean poor digestion. If you eat a lot of meat, cheese,
and/or bread products, add some greens. Fresh, raw vegetables. Yum!!
03 January 2004
If you do much computer work, make sure you
take breaks often. Get up, walk around, splash your face with cool water.
Look out a window, or better yet, go outside for a bit. That fuzzy,
confusion isn't good, it's your body telling you that you've been sitting
there too long with your eyes not moving. Could be why your rear end is now
numb. Go take a walk.
23 December 2003
Skip a day a week, when taking supplements. It
gives your cell receptors time to adjust. Just like everything else, even
if you ate say, corn every day, it would build up in your system. You need
to give your cells time to breathe. Everything in moderation, even
moderation. G'Nite friends.
23 December 2003
There is no cure all "magic" pill. You must do
your part. Herbs and supplements have historically been proven to aid the
body in healing and regeneration; but you MUST do your part. Some things,
you can lessen, but because of environmental influences, and things beyond
your control, you may need certain things on a regular basis.
Supplementations is not something bad, it is just a way of life, like
getting your oil changed every 3000 miles, it's just something you do. You
get up, shower, read the paper, have some tea or coffee, eat, take your
herbs. It's easier to make it a part of your life than something you loathe
doing. It's part of eating right, and getting enough sleep and exercise. If
you wish for your body to be around and healthy, you must treat it well. I
treat mine like a temple ha ha ha ... okay, not always, sometimes like a
tent, but remember, garbage in, garbage out. No one is perfect. Take it
easy on yourself, if you slip up, just start again, any new regimen takes
time, like learning a language, if you do it all at once, you're overcome.
May I take a moment to quote the Tao:
"Those who consider their path superior are condescending.
A parrot who speaks of the totality of the self is absurd.
Many paths lead to the summit,
But it takes the whole body to get there."
Do things in your own time, and at your own
pace; and remember, if you eat too much Thursday, I can help you!
Peace.
22 December Continued... 23 December 2003
I recommend that everyone take EsiakŪ Caps.
The only place I know to get them is from NOW brand. I have a source. Very
good virus fighter. Lots of apples too. Good for the body and the teeth
<g> You can get the EsiacŪ Tea too, if you're feeling adventurous. Most
health food stores sell it.
Both Nature's Sunshine and New Sun sell good
combos and homeopathic remedies.
Click here to mail me for suggestions and orders
Essential oils are good for immediate
congestion, or sinus relief. I prefer
Eucalyptus.
Peppermint also helps, and wakes you up! You can do a facial steam, or
mix some with a carrier oil, rub on hands and inhale deeply through nose and
mouth a few times. Works wonders.
22 December 2003
It's cold and flu season. Like you didn't
notice! Wash your hands regularly. If you're sick, don't go to work and
spread it. I carry a hand sanitizer with aloe with me everywhere, and
antibacterial wipes in the automobile. If you can get the purse size ones
for your purse or pocket... cool. Not a must though. To keep the flu and
colds at a distance, I drink Pau D'arco tea mixed with Green Tea (also good
to stave off other assorted nasties). I make a bunch and ice it... carry it
around with me. Works great. And, you're not popping pills inconveniently.
Take Garlic and Capsicum. I take pretty high doses, but take what you can
handle, the garlic does funny things to the tummy. One each, three times a
day should keep you relatively healthy. Email me about ordering these
products --
Here.
Body Balance by Life Force is also very good
to keep things in check.
...to be continued.
17 December 2003
Clean your bowels regularly. People don't do
this enough, and I can't stress it enough. People don't understand that what
goes in, must come out. Unfortunately, there's much social stigma about the
bowels. Much illness comes from the bowels not running correctly. Think
about it; when your plumbing backs up, stuff starts to come out the drains
in your house, if you have a septic system. Same thing with your body, bad
stuff starts to happen. Severe illness can result. It's been said, death
begins in the colon.
Personally, I recommend my
Colon Cleanse
package.
I do apologize, I do not have all of the
product up on the product page. It's included below.
