Common-Sense Tips In One's Finances and Health

True Wisdom cometh, when one be “in-tune” with the Lord. So, doth it be the case, that wise financial decisions follow it, like His Mercy follows His Grace.

 

First and farmost among these wise principles is “do not follow the masses; the throng, horde, and press, of the unholy masses. The path which results in destruction is wide and travelled by many.

 

This includes, in one’s financial and health decisions.

 

Case in point, during the past pandemic, the television said, “there is a “expected” shortage on that staple, ‘personal hygienic tissue paper’ by maker’s such as Charmin, Cottonelle, Quilted Northern, and Angel Soft.” So, everyone rushed out and purchased as much as they could. And, panic produces dollars saith the politician’s corporate lobbyists. But, wisdom given this gentleman by the Lord is this and this alone, “a small towel, water, and soap availeth much.”

 

And, a small stack of ‘cotton’ hand towels one might purchase at the Dollar Tree, Dollar General, Marshalls, TJ Maxx, WalMart, Target, or other discounter for under ‘five’ dollars.

 

These are lasting much like children’s ‘classic’ Huggies.

 

Also, a lesson learnt, while a teenager, that ‘helps’ address common cold and flu symptoms is this “keeping one’s oral cavity clean is quite wise.” Brush after every meal. This reduces the amount of bacterial growth in one’s esophagus which is the pathway between one’s nasal passages and lungs. Using a peroxide and soda-based toothpaste is wise; however, one might obtain a bottle of hydrogen peroxide and box of baking soda for under three dollars. Plenty of fluoride is in the water supply. It is added by the local water authority. But, most importantly, change one’s toothbrush once per day, when the fever is intense, and once per week, when it breaks. If necessary, discard your toothbrush after every use, when treating an intense infection of the oral cavity whether “viral” or “bacterial”.

 

Regularly reducing the population of bacteria found in one’s mouth while experiencing an intense viral infection lightens the weight of the work-burden placed upon one’s immune system. So, the body might heal itself.

 

The role of medicine is helping the body heal itself; not necessarily, at all times, doing its job for it.

 

And, an occasional rinse of a weak peroxide solution might help keep one’s teeth in “fine condition”. That would be approximately one ounce of this liquid in eight ounces of water. Rinse, gargle, and repeat until the cup is empty. And, this a wonderful solution for “polishing” and “gradually” whitening one’s teeth with a brush over time.

 

Following the crowd’s mentality as driven by media sources, is “ever-so” unwise.

 

One should buy when others save and save when others buy. One most look beyond the surface of what our world’s media is saying and seek guidance from Him.
