This Might Be Controversial!

This email might lend itself to be on the controversial side and cause some to be offended.  PLEASE hear my heart.  That is not my intention. I am about education, knowledge, information, wisdom and giving another perspective for people to evaluate and make their own decisions.  But many times, we don’t have all the facts, or we don’t look at…

Supporting Your Immune System with Herbs!

I don’t know about you, but I try to avoid putting any chemicals in my body as much as possible or at least intentionally.  I wanted to share with you the history of how we moved from natural healing and Naturopathic Doctors to a “pill for an ill” and Traditional Doctors but I cannot locate the video I watched discussing…

Clean, Simple, Real Food!

My son has been telling me to go to a new Grocery Store that opened around the corner from his girlfriend’s home for months now.  I do my shopping at Whole Foods and online because I found when I used to try to shop at traditional grocery stores, I always had to go to Whole Foods to get the items…

Traditional vs Holistic/Functional Medicine

Not too long ago, I was in the Hospital tending the needs of my soon to be 90 year old mom.  I brought her to the ER because I thought she might have an UTI, which would explain her confusion, and a possible mini stroke.  After spending some time in the ER, she was admitted into the Hospital and preceded…

Does God Want Me Well?

This is probably one of the most controversial issues in the Christian community. “Does God Want Me Well” or “Is it God’s will to heal me?” I firmly believe it is. But if you don’t “firmly” believe that it is, it will be harder (not impossible) but harder for you to walk in your healing and your divine health when…
