The Academy of Natural Healing

 

Be your own herbalist. Make all your own medicine.

If you would like free instruction or Doc's formulas call the Academy #828-835-8071

 

Grow your own Organic herbs and hang dry them in the kitchen window.

Grind them up with a mortar and pestle or in a coffee grinder, then boil some water and make the tea you need.

 

Gather a bunch of dry herbs so you have everything you need for all ailments. Get some books so you can look up the remedy and fix what ever may come your way.

 

There are around 7,000 health enthusiasts on Herbal Remedies. If all of you were to become herbalists you could be fully in charge of your own health which is the ultimate goal of Organic Solutions and the Academy of Natural Healing.

Hi Bryan,

 

I love being a homeschoolmom and almost every homeschooler I have ever met love the fact they they homeschooled, my kids included. I believe it is the fundamental right of every parent to have freedom of educational chocie for their children. The gov't has taken this right away with compulsory schooling and in some states even homeschooling falls under the state with mandated tests. This is wrong.

We are not conventional homeschoolers. We do not <do> school. I do nto replicate that which I disagree with. We are a combo of Relaxed/Unschoolers who have traveled this journey the past 16 years. I wanted to start our homeschool journey in 1984, but my husband was not on board back then. We have 3 kids who have "graduated" our homeschool, and another who will in a couple of years. Awesome, awesome lifestyle!!! I wish I had just had the forsight to go with my instincts way back in 1980....

I know you will homeschool (yeah!!!!) and it is a great thing to pass on. However, you liv ein one of those testing states now. :( I hope you will find a way around all this nonsense. I have had people ask me how it is "fair" that my kids don't have to take mandatory tests and I always reply back they have the same choice if they homeschool! :)

So, please share with me what were some of the things you most appreciated about your own homeschool years? I love to hear about them.

 

Blessings,

 

Lori

I went to government (they are not public by any stretch of the

imagination!) schools, but my parents, particularly Dad, always

enforced that all education does not take place inside of the 4 walls

called a 'school'. We were frequently taken out of school for a true

educational experience with the family.

 

I wanted to hs my oldest birthie, but it simply wasn't done in the 80s,

it was illegal in Michigan and I was an insecure single parent. Molly

was born in 1990. In 1992, HSLDA handled a case that changed hsing in

Michigan. It is now one of the most friendly to homeschoolers (in

theory, anyway). It took me 7 years to convince my late husband to

allow me to hs Molly. I researched, read info to him re: homeschool

success, etc. The final straw was going to a first grade Parent math

night where the kids got to show their parents what they were

'learning'. When Molly was scolded for doing math on paper rather than

using a calculator, Paul went ballistic. She was pulled out of 'school'

the next year.

 

Paul wanted to make sure that Molly had the best education possible, so

he told me to spare no expense. We went with some Rod & Staff

books, and had a pretty eclectic curriculum. I did my own lesson plans

and used the Bible and 'real books' rather than text books. She had

been diagnosed with ADHD and we wanted to keep her off the drugs that

she was on in school, so we had a learning curve. We worked within

Molly's peak learning hours. That meant school started in the

afternoon. She was never an early riser. Our wonderful education system

had totally turned her off reading, but to Paul's chagrin, I refused to

force her to read. I kept telling him that if I forced it, she would

forever hate it. They had Molly in a slow learner group by the end of

OCTOBER the year she turned 6 (1st grade). I refused to make her read,

yet by the time she turned 8 she was reading college level books.

 

We, too, unschooled. History was a great set of fictionalized history

books. Science was often hands-on since Dad was so sick. Reading and

lit was simple, since she had become a voracious reader and had read

the Bronte sisters, Homer, Shakespeare, etc, etc. We went to a

Shakespearean play once and got in a discussion with an usher about

opera (she was 10). I just kind of rolled my eyes thinking, "She knows

nothing about opera!" Molly then startled me with going into detail

about a particular opera.... she saw it on TV.

 

When Paul was in the hospital at the University of Minnesota, Molly

became close friends of several of the Coeds at U. If I couldn't find

her, she was probably down in the library discussing a literary

favorite. They would go down to Starbucks and became close friends. She

became a Library aide in the children's library and covered for the

regular librarian when the librarian was on vacation. One of the

doctors took her under her wing and had her do rounds with her, work in

ER for a couple of shifts etc. She spent time in the lab. She learned

about XRays and spent a few hours there. Molly could discuss medical

diagnosis and treatments knowledgeably with any of the nurses and

doctors (I had been in nursing for 25 years). We were at the U for 22

of the last 26 months of Paul's life. Molly was

12-13. How many kids that age could/would do any of that?!

 

Molly graduated at 16 and has 2 years of college under her belt at 18

years old. This is a difficult time to be starting out, but with her

knowledge and her confidence, she can succeed. She is now learning

about the herbs and may be interested in becoming a Naturopath, as I am.

 

There's MY story!

I so totally agree they are government schools and not truly public, but I did not wish to cause a furor over this! :)

I am usually the one who writes this out and takes a stand on this issue, but I sometimes try to be a bit less confrontational (and not knowing the audience). I am so passionate on this issue that I can sometimes be too opinionated for those who have been brain-washed by the culture. Thank you for being so brave as to bring this truth to the

forefront. I love the way John Taylor Gatto explains this: If schools were truly public they'd act more like the public library where anyone could use them, they would not be compulsory, and there wouldn't be grade levels or tests (paraphrasing). As they are now, most people cannot get past the front office for "security" reasons. In the school my daughter has her two children attending (she was not homeschooled and she is not interested), my daughter can get as far as the office and then must wait while her children are fetched; she is not allowed in the halls or in the classrooms. (That would NOT work with me!) The school cites "safety" as to why no one is allowed to have access except those who are allowed (students enrolled and teachers).

My daughter once went to the school unannounced to get her son for a doctor's appointment (she forgot to send a note) and it took her 45 minutes to get her son!!! They also drilled her as to why she hadn't sent a note. I did the same thing one time when I had a kid in our local district and I was told that I "could get her this time, but next time I'd need to send a note"!!!! You can bet I NEVER sent a note! Just who do they think they are telling parents they can have their own child "this time"? I was beyond furious. My daughter was in the 10th grade at the time. I was never so glad as when this last public-schooled kid graduated (she wanted to stay in school and my husband allowed it, that is why I never yanked her).

As taxpayers, the schools belong to the public, but just let the "public" try to get inside! I remember once when same daughter above was in 2nd grade and I went for Open House, there was a man who came and was checking out all the classrooms and looking at the work of the kids and the teachers resented him terribly and my daughter's teacher stated that this man didn't have any kids in school and shouldn't be allowed in the school. I looked at him and asked him if that man was a taxpayer, he replied yes, why? Then he has every right to be in this school as he helps to pay your paycheck, I told him. This teacher didn't like my remark and resented it terribly. I used to sometimes show up at School Board meetings and found out very quickly who this man was who had gone to the school's Open House. He was a concerned parent who was a thorn in the side of the School Board as he often attended these Open Houses, went to Board meetings, asked the hard questions, gave positives and negatives, and tried to keep that Board accountable. They treated him with high disrespect and were openly hostile to him; it was unbelievable how bad they treated him, but he continued to show up, to speak, and to be a responsible taxpayer. I finally gave up attending these circuses because it became evident that they treated all parents this same way if the parents dared question them in any way and if they tried to bring up legitimate problems/solutions. And they wonder why parents aren't involved!

 

Anyway, I so enjoyed your "testimony". Loved it! Sounds like you have a very curious daughter who was given a lot of extra care from others, especially the doctors, and she is a great representative of how our children could grow up to be if allowed access to real learning. It will be interesting to see if she does end up a naturopath. That would be awesome. Thanks so much for sharing!

 

Blessings,
