Here’s What I’ve Found about Brain Calcification
I found so much information about it that I’ve decided to wait until I get the MRI results before I begin to worry. It could be something and it could be nothing. I’m leaning more towards the ‘it could be nothing’ trend of thought. However, since I mentioned that I would research it, here are [...]
Brain Calcification – What is That?
A little pressure emanating from the right side of my head along with numbness on the right side of my face finally made me pay a visit to the doctor. I’m a healthy middle aged woman with little to no health issues (aside from the normal need to place the morning newspaper in the neighbor’s [...]
Treating Asthma Naturally
An asthma attack can be triggered by airborne allergens, food reactions or even burning the candle at both ends and not getting proper rest. A run down body is more susceptible to illness than a healthy rested one. It usually presents itself by shortness of breath, coughing or wheezing. My son would have a harsh never ending cough. No matter how much cough medicine or tea I would give him, it would not resolve the cough. Anyone with a child that suffers from asthma recognizes the cough.
Do You Really Have to Drink 8 Glasses of Water a Day?
Let me answer that question with some age old wisdom. My parents told me the only things you HAVE to do in life is pay taxes and die (and of course, listen to my parents). No where in that statement did they mention anything about drinking 8 glasses of water a day. Life Before 8 [...]
Help Kids to Enjoy Fruits and Vegetables
Parents know how difficult it is to get kids to eat 5 servings of fruits and vegetables a week, never mind daily. How many times have you emptied your trash only to find your child’s dinner serving of green peas, carrots, or vegetable du jour? The minute you turn your back, they get rid of [...]
Is There a Natural Remedy for Osteoarthritis?
That’s a loaded question and I don’t have the answer. All I have are theories. Indulge me for a moment and explore the inner workings of my brain (it ain’t pretty so be prepared). The Problem We have already established in an earlier post that osteoarthritis is the degeneration of cartilage in the joints caused [...]
Does Regular Chiropractic Care Reduce the Occurrence of Osteoarthritis?
Just recently someone very close to me was diagnosed with an advanced case of osteoarthritis. For those of you who are not familiar with the condition, osteoarthritis is a degenerative condition that occurs in the joints.

Removing Pesticides: Juicing Non Organic Produce
As I watched the Oprah show and saw 85 year old billionaire, David Murdock, go to Costco to purchase his fruits and vegetables for juicing, it brought to mind the question,”Should he be juicing non organic vegetables?” By the way, I can’t be sure but it sure looks like he uses the Jack LaLanne Juicer [...]
No Thanks, I’ll Have Butter
Butter gets a bad rap, but in my book I’ll pick butter over margarine any day. I used to buy into the ‘margarine is better than butter’ hype, but no more. Trans fat free and low in cholesterol spreads such as Promise and I Can’t Believe it’s Not Butter, Country Crock and a host of [...]

Blogging Again
I tried converting this blog into a website for a while. While the website was properly coded and easy to navigate, I found that I stopped writing once it was a ‘formal’ website. It made me realize that as a website, this blog would take on more of an authority flavor. That’s not the intention [...]
Quick, Easy and Healthy Fried Pizza
Last night I wanted pizza, but I didn’t want to order pizza because I didn’t want the traditional white dough pizza, or the traditional thin crust white dough pizza or the Sicilian sliced white dough pizza. Do you notice a reoccurring theme here? I didn’t want the white dough pizza. I was lazy and hungry [...]

Why Do Our Kids Break Bones So Easily?
The other day my son’s teammate broke two bones on top of his hand when he slipped making a lay-up. It wasn’t an out of the ordinary trip and fall. Back in the day, it would mean a couple of days of ice and aspirin. Now a days, a simple trip and fall for a [...]
