Soup or Smoothie
I was at the Farmer’s Market this past weekend and passed by a stand selling bags of tomatoes at a discounted price. They were in good shape, fresh from the garden, and free from pesticides. Farmer’s market produce is usually healthier than organic tomatoes found in supermarkets. Firstly, there is no Apeel to deal with. Additionally, there is more nutrition in freshly picked local Farmer’s Market produce than in organic options that have traveled hundreds of miles across the

The Downfall of Fluoride
Well, it’s finally happening. Slowly but surely, fluoride is being removed from the municipal drinking waters. And it’s about time. Utah was the first state to pass a law to remove it.

How to Take Control of Periodontal Disease
Periodontal (gum) disease is a broad term for conditions involving inflammation and infection of the tissues (gum and bone) that surround and support the teeth.

Scurvy Tea- A Healthy Detox Drink
As most of you already know, detoxing is crucial to regaining health and staying well. I’ve written and spoken much about heavy metal cleanses, and there are so many ways to do this (Search the blogs or buy my book My Secrets to Regaining Health on Amazon).
