Health and Prevention with Water

Tue, 23 Feb 2010 00:00:00 EST

An increased intake of healthy water will enhance digestion, nutrient absorption, skin hydration, detoxification and virtually every aspect of better health! So many common ailments and illnesses can be prevented and greatly reduced by an increased intake of healthy water. Headaches, hypertension, back pain, arthritis, ulcers, asthma, morning sickness, fatigue and metabolism can all benefit (and in many cases be prevented) by regulating the body's natural fluid levels. Recently there has been a dramatic...

Cayenne Pepper in a Nut Shell

Fri, 22 Jan 2010 00:00:00 EST

"Cayenne is possibly the single most wonderful, beneficial plant to grow and have on hand in case of emergencies." (Ingri Cassel, September Idaho Observer, 1999) That is quite a claim for this spicy pepper. Besides its ability to flavor foods, what is the medicinal value of cayenne? First, cayenne pepper is effective as an astringent, so effective that some recommend the powder form be kept in first aid kits. “Miracle” stories tell about how...

Female Heart Attacks

Mon, 16 Feb 2009 00:00:00 EST

I was aware that female heart attacks are different, but this is the best description I've ever read. Women and heart attacks (Myocardial infarction). Did you know that women rarely have the same dramatic symptoms that men have when experiencing heart attack? You know, the sudden stabbing pain in the chest, cold sweat, grabbing the chest and dropping to the floor that we see in the movies. Here's the story of one woman's experience...

Cool Mint Tea

Sat, 24 May 2008 00:00:00 EDT

After sitting in the office all day, I looked forward to engaging in some kind of physical activity. The girls had invited me for a quick game of basketball after work, and even though it meant an early morning and late night, it was worth it. We all enjoyed the intense game but, no one was ready to call it a night. After tossing some ideas around, I was nominated to fix dinner. The...

Spring Sensations Tea

Wed, 21 May 2008 00:00:00 EDT

I awoke to the feeling of warm sunshine on my face. Another beautiful May morning! But, as nice as the sun's rays felt, I still didn't want to leave the comfort of my bed, that is, until I remembered the "Garden Party"! One glance at the clock told me I would be late as usual. All my friends had been talking about this party for weeks and I was going to be late! I...

Coffee Junkie

Sat, 05 Apr 2008 00:00:00 EDT

I am completely crazy about coffee! I love it and feel like I have to have it all the time! If there is a new coffee place to try, I am there. If friends invite me out for coffee, I will offer to drive. Because of my coffee addiction, I have never given herbal teas a try. I've always thought that they could never give me the same boost that coffee does. But lately,...

Bentonite Clay Detox for Perfect Pores

Mon, 31 Mar 2008 00:00:00 EDT

One day, while looking in the mirror I noticed a bunch of blackheads on my face. I thought about all the different face masks and creams available in stores today, but couldn’t remember any one in particular that I really liked. I was till contemplating my face when someone knocked at the door. It turned out to be my youngest sister. Her arrival prompted me to remember awhile ago, when I had put Bentonite...

Now or Later?

Wed, 05 Mar 2008 00:00:00 EST

A two-year-old child is nothing more than a twenty-year-old adult in training. Where is the point in a child’s life that he ceases to be a child and is instantly an adult? There is no such point for most people. I understand that some folks are forced to grow up very fast due to a tragedy or particular traumatic circumstance, but that is not the normal case. I know people who are over forty...

Work is Good

Sun, 24 Feb 2008 00:00:00 EST

We have a generation of young people today that can’t or won’t work. Or, if they do work, they want a ridiculous wage for it. A good work ethic is something few people are just naturally born with. It has to be taught and developed. Yet, many parents that do try to get their children to work either use it as a punishment for wrong doing or bribe them with money to do chores...

Eat and Live

Thu, 07 Feb 2008 00:00:00 EST

It seems not a day goes by without us receiving a request asking what foods we consider worth eating or what could be eaten to improve this and that condition. A man once said, "Let your food be your medicine, and let your medicine be your food". There is some wisdom in that. The food recipes on this website all promote good health in one way or another. In addition, below you will find...

A Balanced Diet

Sun, 03 Feb 2008 00:00:00 EST

The pursuit of better health, and subsequently a better life is indeed a worthy endeavor. It is common knowledge to the Christian that being a proper steward of everything that God has given us is an important part of life. It follows then that, since the health of our human body is one of those gifts that we are to be thankful for and to care for, we have a need for the information,...

Life is not Fair

Fri, 04 Jan 2008 00:00:00 EST

There are seven children in my house. The first two are boys, followed by four girls, with another boy then bringing up the rear. The oldest will soon be sixteen, while the youngest just turned six. If there is anything I have learned over the years about raising children, it’s that your greatest tool will often be an unorthodox turn of mind and an ability to see the big picture. I’ll give you an...

The Amazing Cayenne

Tue, 25 Dec 2007 00:00:00 EST

Years ago, while living in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, a friend introduced me to cayenne . I was born and raised in the Caribbean; so you can imagine how I felt living less than an hour from Lake Superior. Since hot peppers are not a part of my culture (that’s Central America), cayenne and I didn’t have a history together; but, we sure hit it off right away. Warm at Last The first...

Headaches and Peppermint Essential Oil

Sun, 02 Dec 2007 00:00:00 EST

Headaches and migraines have plagued me most of my life. I remember many a miserable day not wanting to see anyone or do anything but lay with an ice pack on my head to minimize the pain. During my teen years, since I had much less responsibility than I do now, I usually would choose the ice pack in bed and try to sleep it off. If that did not work or I could...
