August 27, 2010
By Frank Lipman, MD
Many of us have done a detox to eliminate internal toxins from our body, but how many of us do anything about the toxins in our own homes? Common household and body care products are increasingly being found to have negative health effects on the nervous and immune systems, on our reproductive systems, and on our endocrine, cardiovascular and respiratory systems. The average home contains 500-1,000 chemicals, many of which we are unable to see,… Read More >
What’s the Secret to Candle 79’s Success?
August 26, 2010

I love weekly visits with the farmers from our area. Seeing the farmers’ pride and joy for a job well done caring for the land and their crops enhances the flavor and nourishment of what I buy from them.

The Therapeutic Benefits of Our Pets
August 23, 2010
By Guest Blogger
My dog is the love of my life. She is smart, affectionate, cuddly and her adoration is completely unconditional (unless you count two full human meals a day a condition). Edie came into my life just after I was diagnosed with cancer back in 2008. My diagnosis called for me to give up work and move back in with my parents. After moving away from my friends and breaking up with my long-term boyfriend, Edie… Read More >
Low-Glycemic for Better Health
August 19, 2010
By Gabriel Cousens MD
My extensive research over some 35 years has confirmed that a low-glycemic diet is one of the key components for good health, optimal gene expression, a healthy living colloid field, stable blood sugar levels, and a quiet mind. These all support spiritual awakening. The primary purpose of the low-glycemic diet is to prevent the “self-composting button” from being pushed. As briefly discussed in Chapter 6 of my book “Spiritual Nutrition,” the subtle organizing energy fields,… Read More >

August 9, 2010
By Stefanie Sacks
Illness and the desire for wellness set me on a unique journey. It was in my mid-teens (in the funky ’80s) that I started to realize that what I ate (among many other things) actually affected the outcome of my health.

By Guest Blogger
By Carolyn “The Healthy Voyager” Scott Summer is just around the corner, and what’s more summer prep appropriate than camping? Whether you rough it, tent it, take a camper or an RV, you tend to not have all the comforts and accoutrement of home when you’re sleeping under the stars, which makes it very easy to fall into a rut of convenience store food, cooler snacks and campfire munchies.

Iron In Your Diet
June 10, 2010
By Lilli Link, MD
When it comes to getting iron from your diet, think Goldilocks. You don’t want too much and you don’t want too little. Fortunately, getting just the right amount is not that hard, even for people who don’t eat animal foods. The main reason we need to be sure our bodies have adequate amounts of iron is to avoid anemia. This is a condition of too few red blood cells. Some of the first symptoms of… Read More >
