Dear Friends, I hope you don’t mind potty talk because in this month’s newsletter I’d like to discuss Urinary Tract Infections; henceforth referred to as UTI’s. They are more common in women because of our anatomical configuration and shorter urethra, but men are certainly not immune.
Dear Friends, June 2007 I hope this article finds you well and enjoying the spiritual and physical renewal of spring. This is not going to be one of those warm and fuzzy articles. I apologize in advance for its alarming tone but this is vital information that we must know. It effects the whole world and we are being spoon fed bits and pieces of information and misinformation to lull us into submission. Codex Alimentarius…Chances are you have never heard of it. Don’t feel too bad; chances are your Congressperson or Representative hasn’t either.
Yes you can cure Epstein Barr! There is a perfectly natural, non-toxic fibromyalgia treatment that will have you feeling better in one month. Use this plan for both the fibromyalgia treatment and to cure Epstein Barr.r
It’s spring! Time to celebrate our emergence from hibe ation. OK we I know we aren’t bears, but sometimes I feel like one, especially this time of year when the weather starts to break. Plants pop up from the ground and you start to see the critters that disappeared for the winter like possums raccoons skunks, bear and Oh yes…your neighbors. Remember those folks?
A friend of mine who is a breast cancer survivor and activist (one of her many causes) recently asked me to write about cancer prevention and I agreed. It is indeed something that can’t be stated enough. If you smoke, try to stop and keep trying until it works. It’s one of the hardest addictions to beat but aside from the tar and nicotine, it pumps thousands of dangerous chemicals into your blood. The herbs, St Johns Wort and Mimosa can help the nerve while trying to quit. Both are available in my “Blissful Spirit” tincture.
Turmeric is an herb that is used heavily in India as one of the milder spices in their curry blend. It is a relative of the ginger plant and as with the ginger plant the tuberous root is the part of the plant used in herbal medicine. Peeling the root will expose the beautiful, fibrous, orange, fleshy center.r
Here is the dreaded scenario: It is a couple days before an important meeting, a family gathering, a get-together with friends or a party to which you have been looking forward. Then here it comes…the tickle in the throat, chills, achy joints, heat behind the eyes or that foamy feeling in your stomach. Oh great! WHY NOW??? This situation has played out time and time again but I want you to know that you are not powerless against an oncoming illness. There are four techniques I use and they work for me 9 times out of 10.

How I wish that more people had the knowledge they needed to be healthy, have healthy children and grow to enjoy a ripe old age. But more than that I wish that it wasn’t necessary for you to need this knowledge, that when you ate a meal it would be full of nutrition and life giving energy. I pray every day for you, my family and friends to enjoy health, happiness and a life lived in the Light.
There is a health risk that has flown under the radar for so long because it has become an accepted part of our culinary/dining lives and specifically for those who are trying to loose weight. Yes, that would be sugar substitutes.
Dear Friends, August 2009 FEAR! The great motivator and doesn’t government and big pharmaceuticals know this. Hence all the hype about this so called deadly H1N1 flu; it hasn’t amounted to much more than an average flu, but to hear it told day in and day out you would think it’s the end of the world. The truth is that you do have a point of conce but it’s not swine flu, avian flu, H1N1 or whatever they are calling it this month. You should be apprehensive of the vaccine that you could be forced to take.
Alopecia – The Autoimmune Disorder An autoimmune disorder occurs when your immune system becomes misguided and attacks healthy tissue. In the case of alopecia, the immune system attacks healthy hair follicles causing the hair to fall out leaving the scalp very smooth. The three forms of alopecia include: 1) Alopecia Areata - patches of bald spots, usually on the scalp, but they also can be in the beard or other areasr
I am pleased to tell you that May 4th is the 8th annual National Herb Day so in Honor of this I would like to talk about one of the finest yet most over looked herbs. There is an herb that cleanses the blood and reduces cholesterol. This herb is also a safe diuretic that reduces blood pressure. It can be made into oil for achy joints. It relieves food and environmental allergies. It produces healthy skin from the inside out; heals the liver as it dissolves and eliminates urinary and gall bladder stones. The juice from the stem of this plant when applied to warts dissolves them completely.r
Dear Friends, So often I am asked by my clients for suggestions as to what changes they can make in their diets to improve their health. As I become more and more pressed for time it gets harder to speak with you individually so I am grateful to have this forum to discuss a number of topics that are of importance. Of course herbs are a food and herbal tinctures inhabit a zone somewhere between food and medicine.
Dear Friends, November 2011
