Thursday Thoughts…24th March 2023…Cher Ami a hero, Natural Antibiotic, Apple Cider Vinegar,

 

Welcome to Thursday Thoughts this week has been busy in my mind so many thoughts and so many rabbit holes either from posts, social media or just browsing…the temperatures are rising and it’s 28C as I am typing at @4.55 am this morning…I hope everyone who celebrated St Patrick’s day had fun, laughter and good food…Riverdance was well received I didn’t realise how very popular it was…Lily arrived yesterday and the first thing she had was a Hersheys Chocolate Burger…

Nannie had the tiniest piece to try and it was ok…dripping with chocolate sauce, and a chocolate bun but it wasn’t as sweet as I imagined it could be and Lily liked it…Aston just pulled a face as I knew he would and declined-smile but he is a savoury person rather than having a sweet tooth …I just wanted to try it because I could-smile-

Cher Ami what a heroic little pigeon…

Where is Cher Ami today? Today, Cher Ami is on display at the Smithsonian Museum of
American History to preserve his memory. Since then, his story has lived on in the hearts and
minds of Americans across the decades and his bravery will never be forgotten.

The reason I shared this was prompted by a comment from a friend on social media(FB) her question was “Why after 3 days has this post got no likes or comments”

My thoughts are it’s not a cute cuddly panda, kitten or puppy and it’s not a post that anyone who trolls would get any traction from…Sad but true of Social Media…However, it doesn’t make Cher Ami any less of a hero…

Throughout the world, nations have become dependent on antibiotics resulting in drug dependency plus the fact that we now have drug-resistant bacteria and other “superbugs” that keep evolving faster than scientists have time to research, making it hard to fight them off…

It’s time to listen to mum or granny as our ancestors used many different foods and herbs that are known to defend your health, rid infections and stop diseases from spreading. In fact, many holistic doctors still practice these types of antibiotic treatments instead of resorting to pills… today I’m looking at something many of you will have in your kitchen…ACV or Apple Cider Vinegar. With its antibiotic and antiseptic properties, ACV can help in weight management, and lowering cholesterol… ACV can also be used as a chemical-free astringent if you need to topically disinfect or sterilize a wound…if I think I have even a tincy tiny chance of a sore throat coming I just add a little ACV to a small glass with a little hot water and fresh honey…

Taking a shot of apple cider vinegar in the morning on an empty stomach is one practice that many wellness gurus claim helps you lose weight, reduce hunger, and remove toxins from your system…You don’t even have to drink apple cider vinegar to reap its wonderful meat-tenderizing benefits…it is also a great house cleaner and I mix some with water and spray my plants and it gets rid of any little bugs, especially on my chard and curly kale…

Music today is from Bocelli (again) another duet…

Thank you for joining me today as always I look forward to your comments and appreciate your shares x

    I have a sweet tooth, but a chocolate burger is just wrong. I knew that carrier pigeons were used in WWI, but I didn’t know the story of Cher Ami, which I just watched. To carry out her mission while seriously wounded is remarkable.

    I love the story of Cher Ami and I have a better appreciation of birds these days as the feeder attracts so many species and I watch their antics and how clever they are. Glad you had a piece of that Chocolate burger and delighted Lily enjoyed.. thanks for the lovely musical collaboration ♥

    I love the pigeon story and I always wonder how pigeons find their way, even in peacetime! At least we now have a war memorial in London for our animal heroes.
    Ps When I was working in a china shop in my twenties we had two lovely old ladies ( not so old perhaps, in their seventies ) working part time, Hilda and Maude. Hilda always swore by her daily spoonful of cider vinegar, I think it’s about time I tried it.

    A lovely story about Cher Ami, Carol. I hadn’t heard it before, so I’m glad you shared it. Rather amazing. And thanks for the reminder about Apple Cider Vinegar. We keep it on hand and I like the idea of adding a little to my wake-up glass of warm water. BTW, I did make your peanut sauce recipe. We loved it, and my husband asked if I could get the ingredients to make it again the next night. Which I did, with extra for his lunch! It was a hit!
