Be ready - how to build your emergency plan.
27 June 2008We are not exactly living in tornado alley here but the frequency of tornado sirens is beginning to make me nervous.

NUTS!
23 June 2008NUTS!
No not that kind of NUTS, the other kind, the kind you eat. This often overlooked “bring out for cocktail parties” food can actually increase your energy, help you lose weight, keep your heart healthy, and make your hair and nails strong and shiny. Quite a resume for such a little product.

New vaccination legislation proposed. Urgent action required by you today!
9 June 2008The following email was sent to my in-box today, and it struck me as so important I wanted to post it here. First I would like to clarify that I am not anti-vaccine (both my children have been vaccinated) but I did this on my schedule not a government mandated schedule. They were both compliant before they […]
Epilepsy diet is shown to be effective in recent study

2 June 2008I made a rookie mistake and I am not a rookie, I have been shopping 100% natural and organic for about 4 years now. I was busy and rushed, I had to be home within 10 minutes to get my son off the school bus, I was in the Health Food Store and just grabbed […]
