Healing by Walking Barefoot

July 18th, 2010

Off went the shoes, and our feet connected with the cold, grass-covered earth beneath us.  It was March 3rd, and our Healing Touch instructor had just called a break. She said she was going outside to connect with Mother Earth, and she invited us to do the same. The entire class followed like baby ducks. [...]

What’s in that Plastic Cookie Container?

December 9th, 2009

The entire day Monday was spent making all sorts of Christmas cookies, chocolate covered pretzels, peanut brittle, and toffee. When I ended up with more cookies than containers, I resorted to plastic storage bags. After reviewing the following article, maybe the storage bags were a better choice, depending upon the number on the bottom of [...]

“Which Fruits and Vegetables Are the Dirtiest?”

October 19th, 2009

Some time ago I was alarmed to read the research stating that washing fruits and vegetable to remove herbicides and pesticides is useless in removing contaminants. The reason?

I commented something like, “How in the world can this be happening?” – to which she replied, “Stress.” Stress? I thought I was doing much better in that [...]

What Came First, the Chicken or the Egg?

April 27th, 2009

As I am working through the editing process of my manuscript, I have had a great deal of time to contemplate the signs and symptoms of imbalance of not only the sex hormones, but also the adrenal glands and the thyroid gland. The fascinating thing is that so many of the symptoms are identical. The [...]

Toxins Lurking Where Least Expected

April 21st, 2009

Today I am still reflecting on all I read yesterday in the chapter “Environmental Toxins = Hormone Havoc” in the book Hypothyroidism Type 2.  Dr. Starr devoted 39 pages to the topic of environmental toxins.  He states, “About 70,000 new synthetic chemicals were introduced into our environment during the twentieth century.
