Arsenic in apple juice—the breaking news of the past week. Started by Dr. Mehmet Oz, on his popular television program, this controversy has either raised fear and doubt in the minds of parents that regularly give apple juice to their children, or fueled the fire of scoffers who do not really care. When I was [...]

Parkinson’s disease killed my father-in-law. It took a beautifully vibrant man and stole a little piece of his dignity every minute of every day for over 20 years. The latest studies link this hideous disease to pesticide use. We can believe it. Dad used pesticides freely and without reservation. I trust that Natural Health [...]

I just stumbled on this great 15 minute video by Dr Mercola about water sources and how you can make whatever water safe for drinking, and bathing, etc. He does a great job explaining just about all aspects of it and goes into a lot of detail of what types of water-filtration systems you want, [...]

If there is one thing that I think is way over priced, it is dishwasher detergent. Not only that, when I discovered my husband washing the dishes after taking them out of the cupboard, before he used them, I knew something was up. “What are you doing,” I asked. “Getting all the chemicals off the [...]

I’ve recently heard that women absorb many harmful toxins through make-up each year and it got me thinking about how much make-up I actually wear and if I should stop. For me, I don’t think going bare-faced is a real option, but I recently got some samples of organic make-up from NVEY ECO. I’ve been using their blush [...]

I don’t know about you, but since there’s been so much talk about how harmful plastic food wrap and plastic containers can be for us and our food, we’ve stopped using them. We’ve mostly been using glass containers with sealed lids (even for sandwiches!) and it’s always been a tough solution. Then, inevitably, we’ll run [...]

Dry cleaning has been around for many decades. Dry cleaning involves cleaning clothes with an organic solvent rather than with water. Certain clothing fabrics can only be washed by dry cleaning. People don’t usually think about what kind of chemicals are being used in the process of dry cleaning. You just walk into a store, [...]
