Nature’s Wonder Sweetener HONE IN ON HONEY

Honey is a wonderful all-natural sweetener. Despite being sweet, it comes with actual health benefits — something you can’t say about other types of sugar. But some honeys are better than others, so it’s important to buy the right kind.

become acclimated to those allergens. But these three points — raw, unfiltered, and local — are crucial. When honey is processed and filtered, it loses practically all of its allergy-fighting power and becomes an ordinary sweetener. Most experts advise finding honey that was produced as close to your home as possible, preferably within 20 miles. The closer, the better. Keep in mind that it can take several weeks before you feel results. Of course, you won’t find a more delicious way to combat allergies.

Complementary and Alternative Medicine pointed to raw manuka honey as an effective way to speed up the time it takes wounds to heal while also reducing risk of infection.

BARBARA’S STORY

That’s when Barbara saw Lathe on television and decided to give us a call. “You came into my life and, goodness gracious, you made everything better in such a short period of time,” she says. “I didn’t think it could happen like that. You came on Tuesday and told me you were going to take it Wednesday … things would have been a lot worse if we hadn’t gotten it done that fast. I don’t know what I would have done.” Catching up with Barbara after the sale, we’re happy to say she’s doing very well. She’s returned to her hometown of Boulder City and is finding the support she needs. “I’m moving into a rental, and I’ve already made plans to go visit my family in Salt Lake City on Thanksgiving,” she says with a smile. Talking to Lathe, she tears up a bit. “You helped me so much, Lathe. You are forever in my heart. I know my husband is grateful to you, too.” For more on how we help, go to lathelavada.com/ testimonials/

Selling a home is often a very emotional process, so when clients check back in with us to tell us how well they’re doing, it makes our day. That’s why we’re so grateful to Barbara Grissette for volunteering to share her story. It’s a great reminder of why we do what we do. Barbara was in dire straits. After her husband passed away, she was left with too much house and too little income. “I was losing the home,” she reflects. “I couldn’t foreclose. It would ruin me, my self-esteem, and my credit.” To make matters worse, the house was in need of renovation. “It was horrible,” Barbara says of her former home, “Popcorn ceiling, outdated bathrooms … I could go on forever about what’s wrong with that house. The Jacuzzi in the middle of the family room floor really killed it.” With bills mounting, Barbara reached out to acquaintances in real estate. None of them were able to give her the offer she needed in the time frame she had.
