How safe is Triclosan?
Just how safe is triclosan? Did you know you might have put a disinfectant ingredient in your mouth this morning? Yep, it’s possible. Go check the ingredients on your toothpaste. (Might not be on the tube; check the box.)
Did you find triclosan on there? (There is other bad stuff too like sodium laurel sulfate, artificial coloring, artificial flavoring. But let’s major on the triclosan for now.)
Triclosan is considered a pesticide by the EPA. Continue reading

Immune Boosting Supplement Helps Fight MS
Is their a natural, immune boosting supplement that can help fight Multiple Sclerosis? One of my teenage daughters has the possibility of having MS. She has had an MRI in June every year since 2009 to see if her three white spots on her brain have grown. When we had our appointment after the MRI this summer, the neurologist asked her what treatment she is on. She said that she is only on Shaklee supplements including NutriFeron and Vitamin D3. The doctor told her that one of her white spots had faded significantly Continue reading
Is There a Link Between Depression and Sugar Consumption?
Is there a connection between depression and sugar consumption?
For anyone suffering from depression, I highly recommend Sugar Blues by William Duffy. I stopped eating sugar after reading this book, with great results, but over time I lost sight of what I learned and slipped back into my sugar-eating ways. Then I realized that depression and sugar consumption are definitely connected.
Five Doable Tips for Using Your Cell Phone Safely
Did you know that the WHO (World Health Organization) says that brain cancer can possibly result from cell phone use? After reviewing numerous studies on the use of cell phones and brain cancer, the WHO listed cell phones as being “possibly carcinogenic.” Simply put, that means there’s enough evidence to raise concern, but the information is not exactly conclusive.

500 Million Warriors for A Healthy Immune System
Did you know that 80 percent of your immune system is located in your digestive system? This means that you need a healthy gut if you truly want to maintain optimal health and this can be achieved by the delivery of 500 million warriors, also known as friendly bacteria, in the form of probiotics.
The number one defense against all disease is a robust immune system. This is because the nutritional root of many health concerns is directly related to an imbalance of the intestinal bacteria.

Caution to parents: This Vaccine Might Cause Sudden Infant Death Syndrome
Can the hepatitis B vaccine cause Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS)? I’ve recently become a fan of Dr. Mercola. On his website, he will quote a study that has been done, give the facts from that, and then he will give his own comments about it. Fascinating! He is not afraid to take on controversial topics like the study done in peer-reviewed papers that cites hepatitis B vaccine as a possible cause for numerous sudden infant deaths (in the U.S. and in Europe), multiple sclerosis, and other autoimmune disorders. Continue reading
How Chemical Toxins are Poisoning Us Little by Little
Are you becoming more concerned about the everyday chemicals that are affecting your health? I am too. Everyone is taking in everyday chemicals EVERY DAY. It is a slow, undetectable poisoning, manifesting itself once the body reaches its limit, which means the body can no longer process the chemicals without producing some type of health problem.

Avoid Artery Damage from a High Fat Meal
Are you tempted to swing into the drive-thru and pick up a quick burger? Don’t do it! Even one high-fat, fast food meal can wreak havoc on your arteries causing artery damage. Because of the delicate lining of your arteries, a single high-fat meal can spike triglyceride-rich lipoprotein which is a type of blood lipid that can result in inflammation within those delicate artery walls. Continue reading

Secret Ingredient for Fat-burning – Right in Your Cupboard!
Did you know you can boost your fat-burning ability by using a vinegar based salad dressing ? Yes, it’s true. A daily dose of vinegar, about two tablespoons worth, can help you get rid of body fat. Researchers have concluded that obese people who included one to two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar in their daily diet dissolved more body fat than those who were on an identical diet but without the vinegar. Ordinary household vinegar seems to be able to turn on genes that help fight fat. Continue reading

9 Signs of Inadequate Nutrition-Part 2
In Part 1, I introduced you to my precious daughter, Colette, who we adopted at age 22 months in Africa where we were living as missionaries. The poor little thing was extremely malnourished and only weighed 14 lbs. As we nursed her back to health, we learned 9 signs of inadequate nutrition. The first four that I covered in part 1 were: lack of energy, brittle hair, ridged nails, and mouth problems. Here are the final five signs of inadequate nutrition Continue reading
9 Signs of Inadequate Nutrition – Part 1
Back in 1996 while living in West Africa, I was visiting the orphanage there with my three year old whom we had adopted from the orphanage as an infant. A tiny 14 lb girl toddled up to me and held her arms up for me to pick her up. At 22 months old, she was very malnourished, partly due to the other orphans eating faster than she did out of a common bowl, so she never got much food. Continue reading
9 Strategies to Reduce High Blood Pressure
“Your mother had a heart attack last night…” was being said to me a couple of weeks ago over the phone. One of her arteries started to close up, causing her chest pain. She responded quickly, called 9-1-1, and the surgeon was able to get that artery propped open with a stint. Whew – all is well.
But how about you? How’s your heart holding up these days? Are those arteries nice and open? I want to share nine strategies with you for helping you reduce high blood pressure.

Danger of Microwaving Food
Can microwaving food harm us? We all know that eating raw foods is the best for our bodies, but we can’t eat everything raw. Ideally, food should not be cooked at temperatures that are higher than boiling water or steam. Cooking food causes a fundamental change, and it can become more toxic and less nutritious, and even harder to digest.
But cooking food in microwave ovens could even be [...] Continue reading
