If you’re one of the blessed, lucky few who hasn’t been bit in the butt by this year’s particularly nasty flu bug - maintain a low profile and don’t let him know where you live. Never one to miss out on anything if I can keep from it, I (of course) had to give it [...]

I was doing some serious mother research online recently because two of my three beautiful daughters feel (and look) like hot messes. Most of the information I found was already in my own head from years of research just like this. I’ve been a warm salt water preaching, green tea serving, echinacia believing mom since my girls [...]

Conventional medical wisdom is leading millions of people down the wrong path. Part of the reason is that so many “experts” continue to scoff at or ignore the exciting discoveries in the new field of anti-aging medicine.
Just as they did with nutrition as a new field, conventionally educated doctors are willfully remaining ignorant while sticking [...]

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, I’m afraid that we’re getting to the point where we just kind of skim over food recommendations. I mean, we’ve seen the information so much we could probably write our own health journal. But, left unsued, the information won’t do us a bit of good. We have to [...]

One of the best, most informative articles I read was titled “5 Super Foods: The Next Generation.” [...]

If you’re like most people…and certainly like me….you get a great deal of pleasure from treating yourself to ”morsels of mmmmmm” on a regular basis.
