You have 20,000 chances a day to improve your health dramatically

    On average, a person takes between 17,000-30,000 breaths a day. The Environmental Working Group did a study 10 years ago that discovered that babies are born with an average of 200 toxic chemicals in their systems. Over 180 of them are known carcinogens. It was believed the placenta acted as a barrier to […]

When you were a kid, what did you do for fun?

My brother and I would go out and build forts in the field behind our house.  We’d outline the walls of the fort, with various pieces of nature we found, from sticks, to rocks, to (if we were lucky) a bush that was already in the ground.  That made the best kind of wall. We’d […]

If you are concerned about measles, you need to know this

I’m concerned that in this frenzy around measles, that those people who are afraid of the unvaccinated, are urging everyone TO get vaccinated without understanding an important factor.

Every human on the planet needs to watch this

If you had the ability to heal your body, would you take less than an hour to learn about it?  To genuinely listen, and learn? I have been studying Dr. Bruce Lipton’s work for years, and his pioneering work in Epigenetics (the science of consciousness) is at the crux of my conscious parenting and health […]
