The water that comes out of the faucet in our homes is loaded with chemicals, microoganisms, fluoride, heavy metals, and pesticides, just to name a few. (See previous article for more detail.) Unfortunately, the quality of our tap water gets worse every […]
This article has been updated. It was originally posted August 2014. Do you talk about poop at the dinner table? We did when I was growing up. My Mom, being a Naturopathic Doctor, asked each one of us if we had a good bowel movement that day. I continued the tradition in my family. Your […]
This article has been updated. It was originally posted August 2020. Back in 2020, I had a client that came in with a natural supplement that contained carrageenan. I was very surprised.

Did you know that you can reduce and eliminate allergies? Allergies are often a result of other stressors on the body. Our bodies are incredible; however, they can only take so much. Over time, bad foods, toxin exposure, continuous stress, lack of sleep, and other things take a toll on our health. When your immune […]
I feel compelled once again to share wisdom and healing from others. Partly because so many things are being censored (and therefore harder to find on the internet), but also because right now we all could use additional help in so many areas of our lives.
