Shampoo's That Can Affect Memory - Dementia
Could washing your hair be a cause of dementia as you age? The answer is a firm, YES.
New research shows that depending on the brand of shampoo you use, your shampoo may be dangerous to your brain.
How can this be? Recent scientific studies have shown that a chemical used in many shampoos contain the chemical methylisothiazolinone (or MIT). And it has been shown that this chemical can cause neurological damage over time. What is a major concern is that methylisothiazolinone (MIT) is not marked as dangerous in any way on most shampoo bottles.
Read the manufacturers label before you put money down to pay for a shampoo. See if there are any items listed that can affect your brain. There is so many chemicals used I can't even pronounce them. Please do your research on the shampoo you use. Find one that does not list the bad chemicals.
Here are some of the sites that I found some very helpful Information:
My concern about this information.
One of the things that really concerns me is that so few people seem to know about this connection between their shampoo and dementia as they age. The information has not been published widely. I found out through one of the Fibromyalgia support groups. Have you seen many news stories covering it? I have not. And yet we know the dementia / memory loss if a serious issue both for individuals and for their family member and / or caregivers.
So, I would like to suggest that you share this information with family and friends. Will you share?

It’s hard to believe January 1, of 2022 has arrived so quickly. Take hold of the day folks. Take hold of every day. Life is too short. Grab a cup of coffee and take hold of the day by starting with thanking God for the day and reading our blogpost of 2022. How many of you are make New Year Resolutions? Such as lose weight, exercise daily, eat more vegetables, try harder, be better, and so on. It is exhausting right? And for the record, just how long do those new year resolutions last? This year, I am trying something new. Rather than burden myself with a laundry list of personal resolutions that end up choking me with guilt, I am turning the resolutions towards another goal…our home and farm. What better benefactor of my good intentions than the farm? In my mind, resolutions are just another word for goals. And goals my friends, are attainable. 20 New Year Homestead Resolutions
So that’s it for goals. We have a few finishing up things from last year, but everything else now falls under fine tuning and seasonal routine. I’m not sure how far we’ll get this year but seeing some long-term projects finally nearing completion is very motivating. How about you? Any specific things you hope to accomplish in the upcoming year? Are you making plans? Or are you just going to enjoy the year as it comes? Some links may be affiliated.

But, before we tell you what it is we want to give you a little insight of why. Over the last several years when I milk our goats what we don’t drink or make cheese with I freeze the rest for when we have kids (new baby goats) we have to bottle feed. So that means we have freezers full of frozen milk and colostrum. At times this can be a problem if all the freezers are full of milk. We have no room for other frozen foods. Also since we only use the frozen milk during kidding season the freezers stay full almost all year. Over the years we have talked about getting a freeze dryer to freeze dry the milk. Well, that was about all it was, just talking. This year Stace surprised me and purchased a freeze dryer for us from Harvest Right Freeze Dryer. It was such a big surprise!! There was a three month waiting time before it arrived. The waiting for the arrival day seemed to take forever. It was much longer for Stace. He is just excited as I am to get the freeze dryer. The day of delivery was finally here. It was so much bigger than I expected, and heavy. Stace and I got it on the cart. Thank God Stace bought that cart with wheels. It is perfect for our freeze dryer. We rolled into the house and finished unboxing all the goodies that came with it. “Felt like Christmas!” After getting it all set up the first thing that is highly recommended is to freeze dry bread. The bread will help absorb all the "new car smell". So we loaded all four trays with a batch of cheap hamburger buns. After the hamburger buns were finished we did a few final checks threw the buns away, then the fun began!! Some links may be affiliated.

Blessings, Margarita & Stace Over the years we have learned from some old goat folks and from the internet, of many homemade remedy recipes to cure many common and some not so common ailments affecting our goats. These are some recipes that have worked for us. First of all we recommend that you consult with your vet before using any of these recipes. Disclaimer: The information presented is based on years of experience and work with a personal veterinarian. The information should not replace veterinary care when needed, but is intended to help with management, diagnosis, and emergency care for the issues of goats. A good relationship with a knowledgeable, or willing-to-learn veterinarian is crucial for successful management of many goat illnesses. Most medications are not labelled for goat use, and therefore require dose adjustments or prescriptions obtained through a veterinarian. Homemade Goat Recipes:Scours 1 Quart Water 2 Tablespoons Corn Syrup ½ teaspoon Salt ¼ teaspoon Baking Soda Bring 1 quart water to a boil. Stir in the corn syrup, salt, and baking soda. Cool. This homemade electrolyte drink should clear up scours in 2 to 3 days. Substitute this mixture for milk with bottle babies. Goat Milk Formula (for bottle baby kids) 1 gallon Whole Milk 1 can Evaporated Milk (12oz) 1 cup Cultured Buttermilk Goat Nutri-Drench Pour 4 cups of the whole milk into a container. Add the evaporated milk and buttermilk. Add back as much of the whole milk (roughly 1 cup) to refill the gallon milk container. Add ½ teaspoon of Goat Nutri-Drench to the first bottle of the day. Homemade Milk Replacer By - Donna Blankenship 1 gallon of whole Milk - pour off 2 cups of milk and add 2 cups of highland Bulgarian old fashioned buttermilk - shake and use. To warm up use a hot water bath DO NOT MICROWAVE. Magic 1 Part Corn Oil (do not substitute with canola or vegetable oil) 1 Part Molasses 1 Part Karo Corn Syrup It is helpful to warm it just a bit. Use this when a goat is “off”. It will provide quick energy; it will provide iron. To treat pregnancy toxemia we use Revive during the day and 8 ounces of Magic for a large doe, (a little less for a small one) in the evening to hold them through the night. Coni’s Milk Replacer Formula 1 egg ¼ cup whipping cream 1 cup nonfat dry milk 3 cups water: makes 30 oz. If you want to double it, use 2 eggs ⅓ cup whipping cream 6 cups water 2 cups nonfat dry milk Revive 1 bottle 50% Dextrose 20 cc B Complex 5 cc B12 2 cc 500mg/ml Thiamin (from your Vet) This will make a little more than 500cc of Revive If this is intended for pregnancy toxemia does, you need to add a bottle of Amino Acid solution (not the concentrate, it has too much potassium), and 2 grams of Ascorbic Acid. Revive Recipe For does With Pregnancy Toxemia Give Revive during the day. 500ML 50% Dextrose 500ML Amino Acid Solution (50ml it is is the concentrate) 200ML Calcium Gluconate (see note below) 20ML b complex 2 grams Ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) We use the injectable 5ML B12 (3,000,cg/ml) 5ML 500mg/ml Thiamin Give 200cc 3x per day (oral drench) Use a large, clean canning jar to make and store this in. Store it in a cool, dark place because B vitamins are destroyed by light. Do Not add water to the Revive until you are ready to give it. Mix 50:50 with water. Add 2-3 scoops Calf Pac with the morning dose of Revive. Use a pan of hot water to warm it if needed. DO NOT MICROWAVE. Calcium Gluconate is not necessary in Revive unless the doe is showing symptoms of calcium deficiency. The most common first symptom is tender feet, like she is walking on eggshells. Offer sweet feed, a little corn and free choice alfalfa hay to these does. Revive is also helpful for animals that are stressed at shows or that need supportive care for some reasons other than pregnancy toxemia. For regular use, omit the Amino Acid solution, Calcium gluconate and Ascorbic acid. Urinary Calculi Juice of one Lemon 2 Tablespoons of Baking Soda 1 Cup of Water Drench the buck with 20 cc, 3 times a day the first day, 2 times a day for two days, then once a day until the urine is full and steady. Keep it up, every other day, then twice a week, if the animal is comfortable and has a successful flow. Prevention: ammonium Chloride added to your feed. Diarrhea 1 Part Biosol 2 parts Pepto Bismol Mix together. For a small kid (under 15lbs.) We give 3cc of this mixture. For medium sized kids (to 30 lbs.) We give 6cc. For large kids (50 lbs. To 80lbs.) We give 9cc to 12cc. For adults we give 15cc to 21cc (depending on size of goat). Pink Eye Treatment We have used this spray for years with our cattle and goats. 10cc Dexamethasone 2mg/ml 10cc 100mg/ml Gentamicin 10cc Sterile Water Mix in a clean spray bottle. Wash the eye area with Listerine and clean all drainage off the eye and face. Then spray it. May have to use it for a couple of days. Keep goat in a small shaded area where they can find water and food easily. The sun will hurt their eyes that is why we put them in a shaded area. We hope these recipes will help you with your goats health and, or your learning process. If you have a homemade recipe you have used and it works, please share it with us.

Margarita & Stace Mulching is one of the simplest and most beneficial practices you can use in your garden. Mulch is simply a protective layer of material that is spread on top of the soil to enrich the soil, prevent weed growth, and help provide a better growing environment for your garden plants and flowers. Mulches can either be organic - such as grass clippings, bark chips, compost, ground corncobs, chopped corn stalks, leaves, manure, newspaper, peanut shells, peat moss, pine needles, sawdust, straw, hay, and wood shavings - or organic - such as stones, brick chips and plastic. Both organic and inorganic mulches have numerous benefits, including:
Organic mulches also have the benefit of improving the condition of the soil. As these mulches slowly decompose, they provide organic matter to help keep the soil loose, This improves root growth, increases the infiltration of water, improves the water-holding capacity of the soil, provides a source of plant nutrients, and establishes an ideal environment for earthworms and other beneficial soil organisms. While inorganic mulches have their place in certain landscapes, they lack the soil-improving properties of organic mulches. Inorganic mulches, because of their permanence, may be difficult to remove if you decide to change your garden plans at a later date. Mulching MaterialsYou can find mulch materials right in your own backyard. They include:
When choosing a mulch material, think of your primary objective. Newspaper and grass clippings are great for weed control, while bark mulch gives a perfect, finishing touch to a front-yard perennial garden. If you’re looking for a cheap solution, consider using materials found in our own yard or see if your community offers chipped wood or compost to its residents. If you want the mulch to stay in place for several years around shrubs, for example, you might want to consider using inorganic mulches. While they will not provide organic matter to the soil, they will be more or less permanent. When to Apply MulchTime of application depends on what you hope to achieve by mulching. Mulches, by providing an insulating barrier between the soil and the air, moderate the soil temperature. This means that a mulched soil in the summer will be cooler than an adjacent, un-mulched soil; while in the winter, the mulched soil may not freeze as deeply. However, since mulch acts as an insulating layer, mulched soils tend to warm up more slowly in the spring and cool down more slowly in the fall than un-mulched soils. If you are using mulches in your vegetable or flower garden, it is best to apply or add additional mulch after the soil has warmed up in the spring. Organic mulches reduce the soil temperature by 8 to 10 degrees Fahrenheit during the summer, so if they are applied to cold garden soils, the soil will warm up more slowly and plant maturity will be delayed. Mulches used to help moderate winter temperatures can be applied late in the fall after the ground has frozen, but before the coldest temperatures arrive. Appling mulches before the ground has frozen may attract rodents looking for a warm over-wintering site. Delayed applications of mulch should prevent this problem. Mulches used to protect plants over the winter should be composed of loose material, such as straw, hay, or pine boughs that will help insulate the plants without compacting under the weight of snow and ice. One of the benefits from winter applications of mulch is the reduction in the freezing and thawing of the soil in the late winter and early spring. These repeated cycles of freezing at night and then thawing in the warmth of the sun cause many small or shallow-rooted plants to be heaved out of the soil. This leaves their root systems exposed and results in injury, or death, of the plant. Mulching helps prevent these rapid fluctuations in soil temperature and reduces the chances of heaving. General GuidelinesMulch is measured in cubic feet, so, for example, if you have an area measuring 10 feet by 10 feet, and you wish to apply 3 inches (¼ foot) of mulch, you would need 25 cubic feet to do the job correctly. While some mulch can come from recycled material in your own yard, it can also be purchased bagged or in bulk from a garden center. Buying in bulk may be cheaper if you need a large volume and have a way to haul it. Bagged mulch is often easier to handle, especially for smaller projects, as most bagged mulch come in 3-cubic-foot bags. To start, remove any weeds. Begin mulching by spreading the materials in your garden, being careful not to apply mulch to the plants themselves. Leave an inch or so of space next to the plants to help prevent diseases from flourishing in times of excess humidity. How Much Do I Apply?The amount of mulch to apply to your garden depends on the mulching material used. Spread bark mulch and wood chips 2 to 4 inches deep, keeping it an inch or two away from tree trunks. Scatter chopped and composted leaves 3 to 4 inches deep. If using dry leaves, apply about 6 inches. Grass clippings are spread too thick, tend to compact and rot, becoming quite slimy and smelly. They should be applied 2 to 3 inches deep, and additional layers should be added as clippings decompose. Make sure not to use clippings from lawns treated with herbicides. Sheets of newspaper should only be ¼ inch thick, and covered lightly with grass clippings or other mulch material to anchor them. If other mulch materials are not available, cover the edges of the newspaper with soil. If using compost, apply 3 to 4 inches deep, as it’s an excellent material for enriching the soil.
