In a surprising twist, the FDA has finally banned BPA compounds in plastics when manufacturing baby bottles and “sippy” cups. It is still, however, allowing baby food containers, and all other plastics to contain them. And how can we avoid the negative side affects since we’re probably not getting rid of plastics any time soon? […]

2012/06/19
“If you don’t have 10 minutes a day to meditate, you need an hour.” Here’s a very simple meditation trick I developed that may help you finally clear your mind. I’ll first tell you what I do and then we can go over the “why” behind it. Rather than trying to calm the mind so […]
I gained new respect today for the Vanilla Maca-force from Health Force. Added to some frozen blueberries and pineapple makes for a power hour of energy and then some. Along with Dr. K, these companies are makings one of the most comprehensive, non-processed, organic superfood formulas on the planet. Love the taste of this one.

Food is expensive. Not “Organic” Food. Always Has Been.
2012/06/05
It’s high time we change our thinking as a nation when it comes to the cost of food. America pays less for food than any other civilized society, and we pay less a percentage of our own income towards food than at any other time in our history, despite the rising inflation. Or do we? […]
A Delicious Frosty “Rawsty”
2012/06/03
I think that I just invented a healthy raw version of the “Frosty”. This is already a common way to make raw vegan ice cream I’m sure, but try it and see if you get the same results! – Three frozen peeled bananas – Two heaping big spoons of raw cacao powder – A generous […]
History’s Short Life Expectancy Myth
2012/05/29
It’s commonly believed that just a few generations ago people died much earlier than they do now. That if you were 40 you were considered an old man or woman. I’m here to tell you that simply isn’t true… sort of. People did die often at young ages, but it was not from sickness. A […]
The Calcium Myth?
2012/05/23
A rising problem is the loss of bone density in both men and women. Especially women. The common remedy is taking a calcium supplement. But it’s worth doing your own research on new information that reveals the body may not use that calcium to restore bones the way we thought. Rather the body may create […]

Should You Ditch Sunscreen for… Seeds?
2012/05/14
I was watching The Doctors the other day, the syndicated show, and couldn’t help but argue with the television as I heard them recommending a regiment to prevent skin cancer in the Summer, basically by hiding from the sun like a vampire. Of course if you spend TOO much time in the sun it can […]

Does Being TOO Health-Conscious Shorten Your Life?
2012/04/27
Recently an article was released touting studies that show those who abstain from alcohol completely tend to liver shorter lives than thos who drink in moderation. http://www.mnn.com/food/beverages/stories/study-abstaining-from-alcohol-significantly-shortens-life What this really comes down to isn’t the alcohol specifically, but keeping some common threads with the society that surrounds you. We’re social creatures, even those of us […]
The Selfish Reason to Smile
2012/04/11
Yeah, I know this sounds like a hippy feel good intro. Well, it is, kind of. But don’t worry, there’s lots of cold hard science and stern thought that went into it! And knowing just a few basics about it can help you. :] Funny, isn’t it, how such as simple emoticon can indicate in […]
The Great Water Debate
2012/04/06
It’s well accepted now in the natural health community that we can all agree tap water is full of chemicals and additives no one wants in their body. Fluoride accumulates in the brain and calcifies the pineal gland. Chlorine is a halogen that impairs iodine’s ability to function and thus the thyroid, and seeps through […]
Are Anti-Biotics and Antacids Contributing to Depression? My Gut Tells Me Yes

A great audio interview came through today from Dr. Mercola’s library, interviewing Dr. Andrew Saul. This is a rundown of precautions to take, and things to know before you are forced to undergo any serious hospital stay or surgery (or even minor visits). Did you know that you, the patient, are the most powerful authority […]

I love coffee. Real coffee. I love the taste, the smell, the ritual of grinding the beans and brewing a pot. And yes I love the kick. But I’m not a slave to caffeine. I know I’m not alone in this coffee love affair. So if I’m gonna drink it, how can I make it […]
Dislike the Dentist and Heart Attacks? Magnesium May be Your Friend.
2012/03/26
When you have as many supplements available to you as I’ve had of late, it’s sometimes difficult to narrow the selection down to just a few that you’d want to keep if forced to. Magnesium, though, is quickly becoming one of those “If you were stranded on a desert island and could only have…” type […]
