Hello
Everyone!
My name is Vicki Sink and I have just recently started my Charis
Childbirth Educator and Doula Training, which I am thoroughly
enjoying!
I have come to realize that God has worked miracles in this area of
my life! When I was first married and thinking about having children
I thought labor and delivery was a scary thing. I shared this
thought with a group of ladies and it just so happened one of these
ladies took special interest in my comment and wrote me a note
later. She had lots of reading material on natural childbirth, which
was so amazing to me! All I ever knew was going to the hospital and
doing everything the doctor said. After reading this material I was
ready to trust in God and have my babies naturally at home. I have
now had two perfect labors and deliveries at home and have two
precious children!
After experiencing such wonderful births I wanted everyone to have
this opportunity! At this time I had no clear direction as how to
share this opportunity with others. One day as I was reading “Baby
Catcher” it just hit me that I wanted to be a Doula. I shared this
with one of my friends who was one month away from her due date. She
just happened to be having a Doula at her birth and wondered if I
would want to come. Of course I wanted to come! She ended up having
a beautiful birth! What a Miracle! I was hooked! As I was searching
for a way to become certified, my friend Kristen Paulus introduced
me to Charis. Thank you Kristen! Well, that’s pretty much my story
as I remember it.
I have a wonderful family! A husband who is very supportive, two
children, Drew who is two and Megan who is one, and we are looking
forward to the birth of our new little one in November!
Abram (Abe) and Drew Sink
My hope
and prayer is that God can use me in a way to help others and
further His Kingdom! May God Bless each of you!
Love Vicki

Nutritive Values of Cabbage
Cabbage
contains phytonutrients, and works to protect the body from free
radicals that can damage the cell membranes. Phytonutrients also
signal our genes to increase its production of enzymes involved in
detoxification.
Cabbage may lower the incidence of cancer, especially in the lung,
stomach and colon prostate.
The juice of fresh raw cabbage has been proven to heal stomach
ulcers.
Cabbage is rich in iron.
The juice of fresh cabbage is effective in treating fungus infection
(due to it sulfur content).
Cabbage can lower serum cholesterol.
Cabbage contains Sulforaphane, a substance that can increase the
production of antioxidant and detoxification enzymes. Sulforaphane
works by stimulating the production of glutathione, the body's most
important internally produced antioxidant which plays a role in
liver detoxification.
Red Cabbage has more phytonutrients than the green cabbage. The
vitamin C content of red cabbage is 6-8 times higher than that of
the green cabbage.
