Those that follow my writing and work know of my affinity for goat-milk and products made from it. This miraculous healthy milk is more widely consumed around the globe than any other. Yet, most Americans have a predetermined opinion of how products from goat-milk taste, and they choose not to do so, until now.

Being Thankful…for our grandchildren, that is!
When people hear I’m a grandparent of three they comment “you can’t possibly be” – but a proud grandparent I am. Likewise, are the over 75 million baby-boomers who are entering this amazingly rewarding right of passage and redefining their image about how a grandparent looks, acts, and thinks. Photo left is of my two handsome grandsons, Christian and Kaden, on Christian’s first day of school 2009. Click to continue reading…

Highly toxic, disease-promoting ingredients that are LEGAL in our food supply Did you know that we intake over 150 chemicals, carcinogens and toxins each day? Chemicals invade every aspect of our modern lifestyles from well-known toxins to newer compounds with unknown long-term effects. They build in our bodies and store within the soft and connective tissues, fat cells [see graphic to the left], and organs of detoxification; specifically the kidneys, liver, and lymphatic system.

Winter Solstice is arriving and it’s that time of year when more of us add candles to inspire a relaxing atmosphere to warm the soul and light the spirit as sunlight hours slowly diminish.
For us woman, nothing is more flattering to our faces than being viewed within the glow of candles – it softens the history of our experiences. Yes, candles are instant mood-modifiers but they can also be very toxic with emissions that are not worth the ambiance. Click to continue reading…

Please Pass the Grass!
Okay, I can already hear you thinking “another green food, now what?”… please bare with me as I share an experience very dear to this doctor’s heart. In 1998, I developed a life-threatening condition called leaky gut syndrome (auto intoxication) as a result of intestinal damage from prescription medications after a serious accident – my immune system literally “shut down.” I began reacting with anaphylactic shock to everything in my environment and to nearly all foods and supplements, just like the clients around the world I consult with today. As if that wasn’t enough, I also developed fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue and chronic insomnia. Click to continue reading….
