I stopped by my favorite health food store this morning for one of their incredible smoothies.  As always, I left with more than a smoothie! Over a half hour later, I departed with more incredible natural health knowledge!  One of the remedies I learned about today is “Oil Pulling”.  The owner of the store has […]

I received a very interesting link/ free download in an enewsletter today and I wanted to pass it on to you! As you know, the the USDA’s Food Guide Pyramid is heavily influenced by food lobbyists and, therefore, isn’t really the best guide to health.  This ‘Honest Food Guide’ is an easy-to-use nutritional reference chart […]

My physiotherapist (& now my new friend!) lent me a fantastic book called Nourishing Traditions by Sally Fallon. I am always talking about new and innovative health ideas and she thought that I’d like the info in this book. Well – she was right!! WOW! This book is just incredible. The recipes are delicious (over […]

It is 9 days post operation!  I walked into Dr. McConkey’s office (no crutches) this morning and he raised an eyebrow and said ‘Wow, you are sure moving around fast!’…he then looked at my knee and said he’d never seen anyone heal so fast before. He has done thousands of knee surgeries! I just sat […]
