Shop and eat green for the Holidays

As the holidays quickly approach--the important thing is keeping healthy. All of the processed "junk" foods that are around every corner, lurking at neighbors homes, work, parties, etc...reach for the veggie and fruits trays and indulge slightly. It never has to be no-it has to be moderation. Here are some great new raw food websites:

Remember to keep Vitamin D3 on hand and take 5000-6000 iu's a day to keep all bronchial issues at bay. for children a maintenance dose is 2000-3000 iu's. If you feel the impending cold, flu or virus coming on you can take 50000 iu's for 3 days only and then back to a maintenance dose. Check out the summary on The Vitamin D Cure

As many of you know the holiday season is approaching quickly. I urge all of you to make conscious eco friendly choices for Christmas. There are many posted on this blog. The Cool Moms Pick is listed and many other websites for earthy organic products. Please mindfully spend your money. Everyone loves a great book and they last forever.

I have included that 60 minutes special on e-waste--please watch and do what you can to reduce.

I am very outspoken on what and why so many of us and our loved ones are faced with health scares. Like many if we remove the toxins out of our personal care items, water and food, heart disease, cancer and diabetes would disappear virtually overnight.

Great articles and a healing center located in Wheaton, IL

As far as personal care products--that has always been a big deal. our skin is the largest organ of the body and EVERYTHING that you put on your skin reaches every organ within 22 seconds...if you can not eat it-do not put it on your skin.

I have been speaking very highly of a wonderful organic, mindful company called miessence. Please visit: karenmacnab.mionegroup.com
for all of the information--all herbs, flowers and oils are produced from sustainable farming and internationally have the highest accreditation.

In great health!!

Vaccines in the hotseat again

As many of you know that this is a sensitive topic for me and we are anti-vaccines for many reasons. The list is long and distinguished and if you want more info-please ask-there is a great section here on why...

I attend Dr. Mayer Einsteins' "Educate before you Vaccinate" seminar. This is the first time I heard him speak personally. I thought it was informative and I did learn one or two things.

What he also concentrated on was the flu vaccine and why NO one should ever receive it. There are 2 out of 7 compenents in every vaccine

1. Chicken embryos
2. Monkey kidneys
3. Human aborted fetal material
4. Formaldehyde
5. Aluminum
6. Thermisol (mercury)
7. Ethyl Alcohol (gasoline cutting agents)

The first 3 are in every vaccine-know I ask you why would we inject these into our bodies??? Our immune system is perfectly amazing and if we keep it running on optimal levels knowing what we know about the environment we can do a few simple things.

To ward off any bronchial issue you can use oil of oregano and/or Vitamin d3.

The thing about this symposium that bothers me is that Dr. Einstein was promoting his brand of D3. It was a compromised product. As I have always said-make sure whatever you take has 3rd party testing and endorsements plus it had gelatin in it. If any supplement has that or corn syrup of any kind do not by it!!

Check out this 9 minute clip of a Dr. with 28 years of research and presenting at the Wrold Conference on Vacinnology it is unbelievable!!
