I do a lot of research on health and nutrition and nothing makes me madder than the food industry intentionally, without my permission and yours, producing food that causes you and I not only to be addicted to it, but makes us fat! They do this by adding MSG to just about everything we eat! I admire people like John Erb, who was a research assistant at the University of Ontario and wrote the book, “The Slow Poisoning of America”, as one of the many people blowing the whist...

Black pepper comes from an evergreen vine that was discovered many centuries ago in India. It was so highly prized that only the wealthiest had access to it. Fortunately for us, most cupboards contain this burst of flavor and are used daily in our food preparations. In centuries past the berries were selected and harvested by hand. To make black pepper, the berries were picked while they were still green and unripe. They were piled up and left to ferment. They were then sp...

With our increasingly toxic environment, more and more people are opting for organic food. But unless you really understand the labels on food you may not be getting the real deal!

You cannot see it, smell it or touch it but its effect on us is very real. An abundance of negative ions is found in nature. You’ll find plenty of it at the beach where the waves are lapping on the shore, or the fresh mountain breeze and the cabin in the forest. If you have ever stood at the base of a waterfall i...

Spices, we all have them in our cupboards, but for most people, we think of them in terms of flavor enhancers only. Most of us think we get our nutrition from meat, vegetables and fruit. But don’t underestimate the power of spices. You would be amazed at the nutrient value they have and what they can do for our metabolism. Take cayenne pepper for example. It comes from a vegetable that really is a chili pepper. It is loaded with vitamin A, vitamins C and B6, it has fiber, ...

When I first started using the ionic foot bath a few years ago there were only a few websites that sold them. Now if you look online, you’ll see pages and pages of them. Go to any one of them and you’ll see testimonials from hundreds of people. You’ll notice that it seems to have different results person to person. When it comes to ionic detox foot baths, you have your nay sayers and your believers. I am a believer because of my own experience using them. I don’t know abou...

When microwave ovens first came on the scene there were some early skeptics on the safety of the machines, but the convenience and ease of use for the busy person soon left the skeptics behind.

But the truth is, that is exactly what you should be doing. Here’s why! Two of the leading fo...

In our long history on this planet, only Man seems to have the desire to constantly change things. We convert our natural resources such as sand to glass, wood to paper and we grow food, combine seeds or grafts to create new and better types of food, we build structures and find new ways to make our lives better, faster, easier. Our never ending quest for the next best thing is unquenchable. While this can be a blessing it can also be a curse. Before man reached the i...
