Ordinarily, I am extremely hesitant to try any kind of green superfood.

Why?

Is Himalayan Salt Good For You?

Posted on by Mischelle Sandowich

Many people are curious if Himalayan salt is good for you. And though you will find arguments on both sides, a little common sense should resolve the issue.

A majority of the pink salt sold as Pink Himalayan Salt is mined from salt beds originating in Pakistan. This enormous salt mine has been providing mineral-rich salt for millennia. The pinkish hue of Himalayan salt results from the naturally occurring high mineral content in the salt (particularly the iron).

Below are three questions to consider when answering the question “Is Himalayan Salt good for you?” Continue reading “Is Himalayan Salt Good For You?” →

What Is Real Salt?

Posted on by Mischelle Sandowich

Several years back, we were meeting with the pastor and his wife sharing about health in the Bible. One Sunday, my pastor asked me a question to test my health knowledge. “What is the best salt?” he asked. I quickly replied, “Real Salt” (he didn’t know I meant Redmond Real Salt). He responded back, “No. It’s sea salt.”

Of course, I couldn’t argue. I know that sea salt is the best salt. And I wasn’t actually sure at the time if my salt was harvested from the sea. What I did know is that it was filled with lots of naturally occurring minerals (unlike table salt). Continue reading “What Is Real Salt?” →

Posted on by Mischelle Sandowich

Two periods in my life were marked by extreme discontentedness. The first was as single parent desiring a godly spouse. The second was a time of severe financial struggle. Each experience taught me something about the character and nature of God.

If you want to be happy, honor God, and stay healthy — you should know what the Bible says about contentment.

I learned the hard way. Continue reading “What Does the Bible Say About Contentment?” →

How A TriField Gauss Meter Saved My Life

Posted on by Mischelle Sandowich

If you are concerned about dangerous EMF exposure, you may want to consider a Trifield Gauss Meter.

I learned the hard way.

[FTC Disclosure: The following is a true story. Plus, I have an affiliate relationship with Amazon. If you choose to purchase anything off this page, I may earn a commission that will help me continue writing about health and wellness from a biblical perspective. You still get Amazon’s amazingly low prices.]

Here’s What Happened.

We had moved into an apartment with 21 electric meters outside our bedroom window.

It never dawned on me to be concerned about the EMF levels until I started suffering from insomnia and “crazy brain.” I would wake up in the middle of the night feeling super stressed out, with pressure in my brain that just made me feel nervous and crazy. Next, my pinky finger broke out in a major case of cellulitis. The final straw was discovering a lump in my breast.

How Bad Was It?

My friend had given me a TriField Gauss Meter, but I had never thought to use it until then.

According to the meter and other literature, 3 milligauss is the top side of the safe threshold for EMFs. The electric meters outside our bedroom were producing 10-25 milligauss inside our bedroom. These unsafe levels were causing the symptoms described above.

I immediately started sleeping in the living room to mitigate the damage, but even the levels in the living room were higher than I would have liked (4-10 milligauss).

We Got Out of Dodge

Our health is very important to us.

We knew we had to get out of those unsafe living conditions.

Thankfully, we now knew to check the EMF levels using our Trifield Gauss Meter before moving. We were able to find an apartment in the same complex with readings around 3 milligauss throughout the living space. Ultimately, zero milligauss would be preferred. But we had to stay in the complex until our lease was complete. Now, we take our TriField Gauss Meter with us whenever we look at new homes or apartments.

And I’m happy to report we are living in low EMF conditions today.

How Does a TriField Gauss Meter Work?

A TriField Gauss Meter is battery operated and calibrated to detect magnetic fields, electric currents, and radio or microwaves (RF).

You simply turn the TriField Gauss Meter on and place the meter near areas of concern. The meter will tell you how many milligauss of current exists in the area you are testing.

It is important to test sleeping areas and areas where you might spend a lot of time, like your favorite chair. Certain places, like electrical outlets, breaker boxes, electronics, and the like — will put out higher frequencies. This should not be of great concern. You will notice the numbers taper off as you move the meter away from those items. But it will also help you be mindful not to spend too much time around those areas.

Concentrace Trace Mineral Drops — My Experience

Posted on by Mischelle Sandowich

[FTC Disclosure: We use affiliate links. You pay nothing more. But if you purchase a product from a link on this page, it will help support our website at ReformedHealth.net. Learn more .]

In my twenties, I was diagnosed with arthritis. Not something I’m proud of. But at the time, I thought it was all the rage.

Advil became my new best friend — until my stomach was in continual protest.

I was young and naive and had not fully developed my nutrition “doctrine” yet.

But, I was open to new ideas. My health-minded aunt suggested a product by Trace Minerals Research called Arth-X — i.e., arthritis no more. However, the FDA has since cracked down on any product claiming to cure anything (since they want to preserve those claims for themselves). Now, the product (with a few changes) is called Trace Minerals Active Joint Platinum.

One of the main ingredients in the product is ConcenTrace Trace Mineral Drops (ionic trace minerals).

Despite being a slightly skeptical, I thought I’d give Arth-X a try. I had nothing to lose but about 30 dollars a month. For the first several weeks of taking the supplement, I didn’t notice a difference. However, within a month, I experienced a marked improvement in my arthritis pain. In fact, one might say: the pain was gone entirely.

I continued using the product for about three months. I then decided I no longer needed to spend the money on the product because I felt so good, so I quit taking it. A month later, my arthritis pain returned. The returning pain convinced that Arth-X had made the difference.

However, there is more to my story — and it doesn’t directly relate to using Concentrace Trace Mineral Drops or any other Trace Minerals products.

The Rest of the Story

Here’s the short story. I eventually stopped using Arth-X (now Trace Minerals Active Joint Platinum) because I was a single parent struggling to make ends meet. Junk food was my best friend. I could gobble down an entire BIG bag of Doritos in one sitting. Eating candy was my favorite pastime. And I lived on fast food.

As a result, I suffered from many chronic conditions, including:

- Arthritis
- Hypoglycemia
- Tachycardia (and other heart conditions)
- Painful cold sores, etc.

But I did meet and marry the man of my dreams — who happened to be very health conscious. He had recovered from Chronic Illness by applying God’s principles of wellness to his life. And, when we married, I started applying the principles to my life too — and I recovered from most of my chronic conditions naturally — including arthritis.

As I sit here and write this, I am just about to turn 50 years old. I no longer have a hint of arthritis. Instead, I live pain-free without taking Arth-X or any other supplement regularly. You can learn more about our journey here. Now, my nutrition primarily comes from FOOD: a surprise to many.

However, I still use ConcenTrace Trace Mineral Drops on occasion.

Why I Use ConcenTrace Trace Mineral Drops

After nearly 50 years of cavity-free teeth, I developed a cavity in my upper wisdom tooth at the gum line. And this one cavity is a bane in my side — breaking a perfect record. And recently it started to give me some pain. [Go to the dentist if you are in my position — only don’t accept mercury fillings.]

After watching a video by Dr. Axe on how to heal cavities naturally, I decided I needed to make some diet changes, including adding these items to my diet:

Minerals (hence Concentrace Trace Mineral Drops)
ProBiotics
Raw Kefir

I also bought a WaterPik Water Flosser — which I love and recommend — because I hate to floss. If you hate to floss, the water flosser by WaterPik is easy to use. Give it a try.

Here’s the results of all the changes: no more pain in my teeth.

I’ve been making raw kefir shakes and adding several drops of Concentrace Trace Mineral Drops. I can’t say definitively how much the Mineral Drops have helped my teeth, but something is working. I suspect it is a combination of things.

Though Dr. Axe didn’t recommend it in his video, I have also been doing some oil pulling with organic coconut oil.

What Minerals Are in ConcenTrace Trace Mineral Drops?

ConcenTrace Mineral Drops contains over 72 trace minerals that are essential to the body’s overall health — and many which are missing in the food supply today due to soil depletion. These minerals include:

Calcium
Selenium
Phosphorus
Potassium
Iodine
Chromium
Manganese
Magnesium (250 mg in 1/2 tsp.)
Iron
Copper
Molybdenum
Zinc
Vanadium
And more

ConcenTrace Trace Mineral Drops are made from seawater with most of the sodium removed. This process means you get trace minerals in their natural form in the proper balance that nature designed without excess sodium.

These ConcenTrace Mineral Drops are perfect for adding to Reverse Osmosis or distilled water to bring it back to a healthy mineral state, increasing the PH level. If you are using RO or distilled water regularly, you should strongly consider avoiding the associated dangers by adding minerals. Learn more.

We currently use a Berkey Water Filter to purify our water — so we know all the minerals are intact.
