Beware of the HFCS!

February 26, 2009

About a month ago, I began writing this post to inform you that I don’t think there’s ever been an ingredient so sneaky and nasty as high fructose corn syrup (HFCS). Now I’m writing not just to tell you, but to plead to you- avoid HFCS at all costs! This will be a difficult task [...]

Homemade Vegetable Juice

February 22, 2009

I was inspired by a friend this past week to make my own fresh homemade veggie juice so I swung by the produce section at my local grocery store and raced home to pull out my juicer. I was feeling somewhat risky and decided to make up my own recipe. I began juicing the vegetables [...]

February 20, 2009

Last summer when I saw this article on NaturalNews.com I was inspired to visit my local health food store and find a good haircare line with nothing to hide. This proved to be a tall order indeed. Not only did the store carry several of the brands named in the article above, but I spent [...]

Reiki: Universal Life Force Energy

February 17, 2009

Reiki (pronounced ‘Ray-key’) is a modern healing art that I am excited to begin studying.  I admit, this isn’t the first time Reiki has appeared in my life;  I was first acquainted and promptly disenchanted with the idea when the wrong person tried to “Reiki” me – causing me to reject the idea for years [...]

February 15, 2009

Baked asparagus is a healthy, easy recipe I like to make as a sidedish whenever I am short on time. All you need is a bundle of fresh asparagus, extra virgin olive oil, salt, and pepper. Start by rinsing the bundle of asparagus (I use water from my R.O.) and then break the stems off [...]

Socialized Health Hidden in Stimulus

February 15, 2009

This is not a political blog, but that doesn’t mean the authors don’t have their opinions, and further, the changing political climate has some heavy implications on the future of health care (and many other things).

The Dangers of Dry Cleaning

February 11, 2009

As I had never previously questioned how my clothes get clean at the dry cleaners, I’ve dropped items off for years and enjoyed the clean, pressed feel. When I recently noticed a strong, unpleasant smell on my dry cleaned sweaters (that lingered even after wearing them for hours), I began wondering what goes on behind the [...]

HealthBook Summaries

February 11, 2009

I found this awesome resource for anyone who values health for their family and self, but is short on money or time (who isn’t?). It’s called healthbooksummaries.com, and it’s a giant FREE database of important health books – with a twist. Every book featured on their site is in summary form – meaning, someone already [...]

Real Milk is Raw Milk

February 7, 2009

Well, today has been one of the most liberating Saturdays I’ve experienced in a few months.  The cow-share program we’ve recently joined was hosting a Dairy Essentials Class free to all members (classes are open to the public at a reasonable rate during the summer), and there were at least 15 of us there today.
