Our bodies are riddled with billions of bacteria. Nature designed it that way. That may seem to contradict medical science, but there is a reason for this. Despite all the bad press that bacteria get these days, certain bacteria are not only good for us but essential for our health.
When we are born our mothers pass on to us vital bacteria (from vaginal fluid and colostrum) which jump start our immune systems. The bacteria begin their life as yeast, attach themselves to the intestines and begin to multiple to eventually make up 75% of our immune systems. These bacteria are known as … [Read More...]
If you suffer from insomnia, you are not alone. Millions of people are afflicted with the inability to achieve deep, restful sleep. Causes for insomnia vary from too much caffeine to back pain and everything in between.

The truth is we are all lactose intolerant. Dairy products are one … [Read More...]

Our bodies are made up of 70% water. Drinking plenty of water keeps the body hydrated. If the body becomes even 1% dehydrated we lose 40% of our muscles functionality. If you are thirsty, you are already 5% dehydrated.
Dehydration affects our bodies adversely in many ways and symptoms appear when the body has lost about 2% of its fluid. Some mild effects will show up as thirst, dry skin, dark colored urine, fatigue, … [Read More...]
Many factors can lead to uterine fibroids. These include estrogen dominance, genetics and a poor diet containing excessive sugar, caffeine and toxins. Most of the time conventional doctors take the ‘wait and see approach’. But do you really want to wait and see what happens until your doctor tells you surgery is necessary?
I know I would rather do something about it to improve my health before I lose my uterus or have any type of surgery. Perhaps these fibroids are your body’s red flag to holding on to toxins that could otherwise cause cancer elsewhere in the body. And, let’s not … [Read More...]
Would you believe that a bed of nails can take away your pain? Thanks to the ancient art of acupressure, the stimulation from the points can certainly improve your circulation and increase the release of endorphins.
