FREE Naloxone/Narcan day — no questions asked

September 14, 2019 by Lisa Gigliotti No Comments

Promoting FREE Naloxone/Narcan day. Luke, the Rite Aid pharmacist, was great.  Gave me my free box of 2 with no questions asked, no prescription, and showed me how to use.  

As a Michigan Prescription Drug Abuse Commission member, we learned that 130 people a DAY die from opioid abuse in the U.S. This nasal spray can reverse an overdose while happening. I added link to an article with how-to-use video and a list of pharmacies providing free kit today, Sat. 9/14.

Warm up in an arthritis-friendly, nourishing way…Turmeric Ginger Butternut Bisque!

January 30, 2019 by Lisa Gigliotti No Comments

It is minus 32 degrees!

Warm up in an arthritis-friendly, nourishing way…Turmeric Ginger Butternut Bisque!

Be gentle on joints by pre-baking a butternut squash before cutting, peeling and deseeding.

Use onions and garlic your grocer chopped. Lightly sauté fresh ginger and turmeric for a jolt of natural anti-inflammatories.

Substitute soy (almond) milk and silken tofu for bone-building and instead of fat-saturated cream.

A hand blender saves hand and elbow joints from heavier blender or processors.

Butternut squash brings cozy, filling warmth to the tummy and packs minerals and vitamin A.

Caldo & Delizioso!

November 11, 2018 by Lisa Gigliotti No Comments

Remembering Great Grandpa Genaro Rizzo on the 100th Anniversary of WWI end. He fought bravely in the rugged and cold terrain of Northern Italy and the Alps, for a war believed to end all wars…

As Uncle Jimmy adds details of valor to the story, Genaro Rizzo was “Knighted (posthumously) for saving an officer from drowning while fording a river on horseback.”
