Newbie to the list

[Guest guest]

Hello All,

Some new names some old for me....Found out about the list from

another, and looking forward to the learn.

My name is Lynn in my 50's with a 15 and 10 year old. (The 15 y/o is

working my last nerver right now, got to love him!) BTW,most of the

ADHD meds are stimulants, which work in a somewhat opposite fashion,

settle them down and allow focus, so Melissa doesn't surprise me as a

potential opportunity for them.

I am a nurse Emergency & Trauma medicine are my love/specialty, but

working as a school nurse right now so I can stand on the 15 y/o. He

hates it, I'm at his school! Boy oh boy I thought htere was drama at

a Level 1 Trauma Center, ain't nothing comapred to a high school!

(Hand on forehead, wilting to the ground)

I have been for years an organic gardener, trained by the original

Whole Earth Catalogue folks, my parents, who were trained by their

parents! I have never had colored toilet paper, or paper towels in

my house, used to hurt me in the '70's when everyone had TP to match

their bathrooms but us. I have since gotten over it! Lots of other

stuff too, but that's for another post. My kids really want me to

take the THINK sign off the trash can.

I started learning about scents and oils from my greek

grandmother...I used to lay in her garden as a child to chill. I

have really expanded my knowledge base over the past 15 or so

years...funny was totally in to clinical medicine, and started

listening to all the LOL that came in to the ED that hadn't seen a

Doc in 50 years. Every one used " Home remedies " passed down from

grandma. For the history buffs, alot of these folks were children of

slaves, I'm from St. Louis, Mo. These " home remedies " came from way

back. I figure anyone who hasn't seen a Doc in 50 years, has never

been vaccinated, and has never been " sic enuf to pay somone to help

me, outside the famly " must know something. So that's where I got

started, then that charming 15 y/o developed a spinal tumor at 18

mos, and they wanted to do way to much to that little body. I got

the docs doing research with me on alternative medicine, and here I

am.

BTW I have Myrtle, and I have lemon, but not the Lemon Myrtle...so

I'll do one and the the other!

Sincerely, and excited about this list
