Book Review of The Solution: Homeoprophylaxis: The Vaccine Alternative

I’m worried for Kate Birch and Cilla Whatcott, authors of “The Solution: Homeoprophylaxis: The Vaccine Alternative.” They are putting themselves in the middle of a battleground where arrows will likely fly. Anyone who slices at the market share of big pharma and government could find themselves in the crosshairs. Yet, I admire their courage, for this […]

Pond Perfect

I make no apologies. I’ve always hated exercise. It’s tedious. I beg forgiveness from those of you who are ardent sports enthusiasts, but despite many attempts, nothing’s quite stuck. Running? Not my style. Yoga? Too still for me. Swimming? The chlorine negates any benefits the exercise might offer. Exercise classes? I hate to

Hot, Hot, Hot

My 18 year old is working in the landscaping business this summer. He’s in the hot sun all day, and so I worry. I’m less concerned though, than I might be because I have homeopathy. And so does he. Every morning he makes a homeopathic electrolyte concoction that he carries with him on the job. Water

Natural Treatment of Burns with Homeopathy

Homeopathy can be of good aid when burns are at hand. The best way is to have a homeopathy kit on hand so that instant assistance can be achieved. External sprays, gels or drips, as well as internal methods, will be useful and will all work in tandem. Take the oral remedy every 2-4 hours and

Essential Oils + Savvy Mom= Mosquito free and guilt-free!

If you want to be safe from mosquito bites, try making your own repellent by using some of the following tested and true essential oils: cinnamon oil, lemon eucalyptus or regular eucalyptus oil (watch out though-these could antidote your homeopathic remedies!), citronella oil, castor oil, orange oil and rose geranium. I like to mix

Hey, What’s Your Cholesterol?

It’s about as casual and common a question as, “How’s it going?” And because cholesterol is made out to be the dirty culprit responsible for high rates of heart disease, many stay on top of their cholesterol levels and try desperately to keep them below whatever the doctors are touting as the now, new dangerous

Instant in-the-Freezer Cookies

(-From “Secret Spoonfuls-Confessions of a Sneaky Mom” CD booklet) I like this cookie recipe because there is no need to soak the flour. (All grains need to be soaked in lacto-fermented fashion.) Arrowroot is not a grain so there’s no problem with allergies. It is naturally white, too! From this one cookie dough many variations

MSG: The Flavor We Can Do Without

I make no apologies; I’m a food snob. I despise chain restaurants and I’m often suspicious of locally owned versions too. It’s from experience, not only from culinary disappointments but as a result of MSG illness in my family, just one too many times. Is it too much to ask that my meal be enjoyable

Homemade Vanilla Extract

When you read how simple this is, you’re going to wish you had know about it years ago. Goodness! I’ve spent a lot of unnecessary money on the store-bought version before I learned about this. The recipe: (if you could call it that) You break up about 10 vanilla beans either dried or not,
