I continually get questions from my readers who are either drinking a few Absorb Plus Elemental shakes per day (along with their normal diet) OR they are exclusively on an…
Sustainable Living in Costa Rica

Sustainable Healthy Living in Costa Rica

There is a new development happening on the Pacific coast of Costa Rica, in a province called Guanacaste – it’s called La Ecovilla (formally Finca Las Brisas, or Farm of the Breezes). Ian and I looked seriously at buying in here and the only thing that stopped us was the houses would be too small for our large family and home-based businesses.

However, I think it’s a fabulous ‘second-home’ option for those of you who need to be careful about your health and need to have a really toxin-free environment. Plus, it’s cheaper than you’d think. So open your mind a little, lift your self-imposed limitations and go have a look around their website.

I myself spent several hours on the site, so I can tell you what’s so great about this development and really sets it apart:

Vote Now For Your Food Freedom!

Change.org is a private website that has a section of their website devoted to voting for the top ten ideas for change, that they will then be presenting to President Obama.

VOTE TO LEGALIZE RAW MILK
I was one of the thousands who voted for “Legalize Raw Milk” during the first round of voting and this issue got the highest number of votes in its category and has moved to the second, final round!

So, we all now have a second chance to vote for legalizing raw milk in individual states and across state lines. If this issue is among the top ten ideas in the competition, it will be presented to the Obama team and also at a press conference at the National Press Club on January 16; further, Change.org will then email information about the Raw Milk campaign to their 200,000 members.

This is a HUGE opportunity for us to really make a difference in the big Pharma/Agribusiness assault on our food freedom.

Even if you are not in the USA (like me) you can still vote. And as the US carries such global influence, this will only help us in other countries when we come up against the same issues.

My husband Ian had a brainstorm Thursday night and suggested we drive to California for what's left of Spring Break. So, adventurous souls that we are, we pack up the…

More Reasons To Eat Locally Grown Food

An article in the British newspaper this week, The Observer, highlights some sobering reasons why we need to eat locally and support our local farmers as much as we can.

Buying food from small, family-owned farms (hopefully organic, or, no spray) tends to be better for the animals, the soil, the environment and our health. Ayurvedic medicine holds that if you eat local foods, in season, this is most compatible with your body.

Here’s what’s wrong with eating commercial food from your local supermarket:

Vaccine Safety

This is awesome! Dr. Andrew Wakefield (prominent GI who was viciously attacked by drug/med establishment for daring to suggest even the *possibility* of a link between MMR vaccine and IBD)…
