Dear Sharon
'Child just had swine flu, now has stomach bug. Low white blood cell count - what does it mean? Is house mould making my child sick? Autoimmune disorders. Symptoms for lupis'.
Early this morning, before the sun rose, I emailed my various bosses to tell them I would not be coming in to work today. Due to various commitments in the past three weeks I wasn't able to nurse Gray through his tonsillitis that then developed into swine flu. I worked Sundays and every weekday til 22.00. It's a busy time in my job and I sucked it up.
But this morning I just knew I couldn't leave Gray sick at home one more time. Despite all the guilt I associate with leaving colleagues and students in the lurch I put on my big girl mom panties and made the call, despite the nagging doubts that maybe I should just go to work.
Later in the morning, as Gray finally slept, I sat on our verandah in the crisp, fresh energy of a new day. I looked out towards Table Mountain and I felt peace.
You would have seen the morning Sharon. Wasn't it beautiful? The thrill of birdsong and blue skies and clarity.
A little while later the message came through - you have left your pain. You are free.
And it was in that moment when I realised that you left your final gift for me. Because this morning I did what you have always done. I put my children first. I remembered my deepest cellular calling, motherhood, and I honoured it. Just as we have seen you do in the years of your battle.
Dear girl we all stand witness to the sheer force of nature you became in ensuring that your girls will know, always and forever, how much you love them. You have loved them harder than some parents will do in an entire lifetime.
Not only that, you have reminded us all to love and fight for our children, to put them first, to put family first, to show up.
Thank you for sending me one last nudge, one gentle whisper from your place of freedom. I have no doubt that there will be more to come, because that's what happens to love when a person passes on. Love survives, love heals, love teaches and love never leaves us.
Sniff bicarbonate of soda. It always works. Here's why.

How we get sick and the first line of defence.
Firstly we must understand EPITHELIAL CELLS.
Epithelial cells are cells that line the inside and outside of the body, including the skin, organs, and blood vessels. They have many functions, including:
· Protection: Epithelial cells form a physical barrier that separates organs from each other and the external environment.
· Secretion: Epithelial cells produce mucus, hormones, and other substances.
When germs, (viruses and bacteria) and pollen enter the body via the nose and mouth they stick to the mucus anywhere between the entry point of the nose and mouth down to the lungs and into the stomach. From the mucus these germs attach themselves to epithelial cells where they start their path of destruction and illness. In most cases the bicarbonate of soda in the mucus destroys germs and pollen in 2 ways. Firstly the hydroxide in Bicarb breaks up the fatty layer that protects these germs and secondly the sodium in the Bicarb detaches these germs from the epithelial cells, long before the immune system kicks in. This reduces the load and exhaustion of T cells.
By sniffing and licking a pinch of Bicarb on a regular basis; and always after a sneeze, sniffing or coughing, we boost the Bicarb in the mucus and kill all the germs and pollen before illness spreads within us and to others. For babies just wipe some Bicarb in the rim of the nostrils and a lick of Bicarb.
Bicarb has been the first line of defence for all vertebrates for more than 400 million years.
Florence Nightingale Ignored for 144 years. Nature ignored for 400 million years.
In her book, ”Notes on Nursing”, she wrote, “Every nurse ought to be careful to wash her hands very frequently during the day. If her face too, so much the better.” She knew that infections enter the face causing distress to all. Washing the face is more important than washing hands.
High school chemistry shows us that the active ingredients in soap and bicarbonate of soda are sodium and the OH anion to kill germs and pollen. We also know that mucus throughout the body includes bicarbonate of soda. Vertebrates have had it for 300 million years. So we can use this knowledge to great effect, killing germs before the immune system kicks in.
Try the Bicarb way Sniff a pinch per nostril per day And a pinch on the tongue Infections are gone Stops mental and dental decay.
More than 30 000 doses in Winterton KZN have proven to be 100% successful.
Medical authorities ignore the most important contribution to health, by Florence Nightingale.
