One of the things I love best about soup is its flexibility. No matter what you have in the fridge, you can probably throw it together and make a delicious soup. And you almost never have to follow the recipe perfectly. I especially like that about soup. I also like that I can make a really [...]

Even More on Fluoride

Alright, this will be my last post on fluoride. I promise. Before I cease and desist on this topic, however, here are 3 more things to consider:
1. I mentioned yesterday that you should avoid instant teas, but I didn’t provide any links where you can read more about this problem. Go here for an article [...]

I have to confess that the extra reading I’ve done to prepare for these two posts on fluorine has proved eye-opening. Although I’ve been trying to avoid fluorine to protect my thyroid for almost a year now, I really didn’t know until now how much damage fluorine also does to bones, brains, child development, and so much [...]
Cucumbers, Tomatoes, and Lemons, Oh My!

When you crave something light, refreshing, healthy, and flavorful this summer, reach for a modified version of the Middle-Eastern salad known as fattoush (or fatoosh). Traditional fattoush includes toasted pieces of pita, but if you’re allergic to wheat or gluten (or simply want to cut down on your grain consumption), you’ll want to leave out that [...]
Why I Avoid Fluoride, Even in My Toothpaste
Posted in Avoiding Toxins, Health, tagged Health, hypothyroidism, toxins on March 21, 2008 | 9 Comments »
We’ve all been told that we need fluoride for our teeth. Our toothpaste tubes claim fluoride as the active ingredient that protects against tooth decay. Our water is fluoridated. Some dentists even prescribe fluoride pills. Unfortunately, though, fluoride appears to do much more harm than good. You might suppose that I’m on the fringe here, but [...]

Dear readers, thank you so much for the comments on my blog! They are very encouraging to me. I’m enjoying blogging much more than I expected, and I find myself wanting to devote more time to it. I haven’t written for fun in many years now, so this is quite a treat.
I’m excited about making some [...]
Quick White Beans with Tomatoes and Sage

A few weeks ago, when my husband and I dined at my parents’ house, my dad served us an amazing dish of broiled halibut over white beans with tomatoes, garlic, and basil. Wow! It was so good. As much as I like halibut, I couldn’t get over the beans. I drooled over them in my sleep. Thus, it [...]
My Favorite Green Juice
Posted in Health, Recipes, tagged candida, food, juicing on March 17, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
In honor of St. Patrick’s Day, I humbly submit my favorite recipe for green juice. Unlike many juicers, I must avoid the extremely sweet juices (from carrots, beets, and most fruits) that are so often used to mask the taste of greens. Fortunately, and much to my surprise, green juice can be delicious without them. Really. I actually like [...]
Grilled Turkey Burgers with Dijon-Dill Sauce

I found this recipe in its original form on the Body Ecology website a couple of months ago. It’s absolutely delicious. We’ve made it several times and even served it to company with rave reviews. This would be a great recipe for Candida-sufferers. Lightly steamed green beans complement this dish well.

If you’ve ever wondered about the safety of the products you use on your body every day, you will love the Environmental Working Group’s website, Skin Deep: Cosmetics Database. You may wonder how you ever lived without it. Sure, you might already know to avoid sodium laurel/laureth sulfates, parabens, talc, petroleum derivatives, mineral oil, and phthalates, [...]
