Preventing Illness – Vitamin D
Vitamin D can be one of the most powerful vitamins in our arsenal to beating the flu before it starts. As reported by the Daily Telegraph, studies show that Vitamin D is used in a complex process that prepare our “T” cells for immune system battles. A deficiency in Vitamin D can hinder our T cells from doing their thing. Our pediatrician recommended the following doses: When healthy – Kids: 800IU Adults: 4000 IUs When sick – Kids: 1600IU Adults: 8000 IUs NaturalNews reports that 40% of Americans are deficient in Vitamin D and that we cannot get enough Vitamin D from diet alone. Exposure to the sun (without…

Preventing Illness – The Mighty Sambucus
Hold on to your hats. Are you ready for this? I want to introduce you to Sambucus. This little berry packs a mighty punch. A complete cure for the H1N1 flu strain was found within 2-3 days for 90% of the group given Sambucus. The Journal of International Medical Research reported that 93% of the patients given Sambucus for influenza strains A & B were symptom-free within 2 days. How does this baby work? It actually stops virus replication in its tracks. Sambucus has also been shown to have an immunoprotective effect when given to cancer or AIDS patients. Rather than wait for the flu or some other nasty…

Chemicals – on our SKIN!!
My latest guest post is up at Surviving the Stores! Powerful enough to melt plastic, your mosquito repellent is a neurotoxin! Duke University Medical Center pharmacologist Mohamed Abou-Donia says that exposure to DEET causes neurons to die in several parts of your brain, including areas that control muscle movement, memory, concentration, and learning. Rats exposed to DEET in the lab had trouble walking! We all hate mosquito bites, and a bite, in some areas of the world, can lead to serious disease and even death. Thankfully, we have natural alternatives to DEET that are proven to be even more effective! Read more about this and other toxic chemicals hidden in our…

Healing Cavities Naturally – Really?
** Update. I no longer recommend consuming Fermented Cod Liver Oil after this whistleblower report. RIP Ramiel Nagel, who died of cancer at only 38. This post is about teeth. We all have them (hopefully) and we generally spend as little time as possible thinking about them. I’ve been thinking about mine more lately because they’ve been hurting. Correction – they were hurting. For several months. I was dreading a return trip to the dentist because he didn’t really fix anything that was hurting last time. I just ended up with two mercury fillings. 🙁 (Me, sleep-deprived b/c of a newborn, and a dentist trip didn’t mix real…

The Wonders of Soap Nuts
Can you believe that this berry cleaned my clothes AND my dishes??!! I am so excited to tell you about soap nuts!! I was sick of all the chemicals in even the ‘green’ laundry detergents and both intimidated and not sure of the ingredients in the typical homemade recipes. THEN I heard about soap nuts. And my laundry world has been forever changed. (Guess I’m feeling dramatic tonight.) Soap nuts are actually soap berries. They grow on trees in India, Nepal, and China. (I’ve heard you can grow them here but haven’t gotten that far into it yet). The harvesters pick them and husk them. According to Wikipedia, they have…

WHAT’S on my strawberries??!!
image from newsi.es Strawberries have long been my favorite. I could eat them by the pound and I will arm wrestle you and win over chocolate covered strawberries. Therefore, I have been SO disappointed to learn about the particularly nasty pesticide they’re using on strawberries now. Let me introduce you to methyl iodide. This fantastic chemical is a known carcinogen and it can cause brain damage and miscarriages. It’s been approved for use in California even though they KNOW it is awful for us! Chemists don’t even want to handle it in the lab… yet they think we can eat it? I’m thus saying good-bye to strawberries unless they’re organic.…

Our super duper awesome holistic doctor
My friend Kandace introduced us to a doctor in Irving that is just awesome. Her parents have been going to him, and now several people in my family have gone. His work is absolutely revolutionary. He is both an MD and a naturopath and he has more knowledge in his pinkie than I might ever have… Ok, that’s probably an exaggeration but this guy is extraordinary! A friend, who shall remain nameless for identity protection purposes, just felt really lousy all the time. Dr. Tennant put together an entire program for him, focused mostly on diet and some supplements, as well as the electrical balance in his body. A month after his first visit, he…
