Summer Walker: “I believe in Herbal Healing.”

After an article was posted on the Green News Guide regarding Summer Walker feeding her baby hemp and honey, she took to her Instagram live to speak about different topics including why she was feeding her baby a hemp, honey and mushroom mixture in the recent past.  Summer owes no one an explanation as to why she fed her baby the whole foods mixture but the reason she did so was very clear.  She mentioned that her baby had a situation or what possibly was a minor medical condition.  




Obviously, she independently discovered foods and herbs that would help her baby and used them to aid in healing.  In her live, she stated that the herbal mixture she gave to the baby “worked” and cleared up the issue that she was having at the time.  She said it was a short-term natural remedy that she fed to her baby.  In the previous article, I stated that people were jumping to conclusions and making assumptions that were not based on facts.  I also stated that people shouldn’t be judged for diets that are alternative or different than the norm.  It is her choice as a parent to decide what she believes is right for her child and no one should have a say in that.  Summer also put her foot down in the live while saying that people need to stop talking about other people’s children and mentioned that she doesn’t want anyone talking about her child in a negative manner.

The best parents are those who engage in active learning and make independent decisions that will benefit their children in their present and their future. No parent has all the answers; however, they shouldn’t solely look to what’s popular or what’s mainstream when it come’s to raising a child. It’s not known whether Summer consulted with a natural health practitioner or seemingly did her own research in choosing the healing nutrients that she gave her baby.  She didn’t look to what is considered mainstream advice for whatever condition that her baby was enduring.  She took matters into her own hands and opted for the alternative and in her words, it “worked!”  

Holistic health is a wonderful domain for experiencing healing and wholeness.  It can be complementary to other domains of health and it can be THE one domain for experiencing total and complete health and wellness.  As an alternative medical practitioner, it’s always lovely to see parents like Summer who are embracing of natural health and firm believers in holistic healing.   Not only is Summer a free thinking parent, she is also an extremely talented singer and musician.  If you haven’t listened to her debut album, here’s a virtual nudge...👊🏾🌿

Nikocado Avocado Woke up 250lbs Lighter! Vegan Again?!

Image
The Mukbang king, Nikocado Avocado, broke his 7 month silence after uploading a video to his channel last night.   He first appeared in the video wearing a big Panda head mask.  Beyond that gigantic panda mask, there was something noticeably different about Nick!   There was a super thin body under the mask!  Could this be a clone of Nikocado?  Is this really the same person who would down several cheeseburgers, nuggets, stuffed tacos and huge plates of noodles in one sitting?  Nikocado is the self proclaimed mukbang king of the internet and with that title came loads of weight gain. It was a real shock to see him slimmer than what he used to be as a vegan.  At the beginning of the video, he stated how he was "two steps ahead."  He went on to say that he had been a part of one of the greatest social experiments of his entire life and likened himself to being a villain of a story where he was able to have significant influence over his fo...
