So I completed the liver/gallbladder flush a couple of weeks ago.  Can I just say M-I-S-E-R-A-B-L-E???  Good heavens, it was a disaster!!  For those of you asking about my results, I needed to distance myself from the trauma of the experience before I could write reasonably about it.  Okay, maybe I’m exaggerating.  But just a [...]

As a continuation of yesterday’s post, here are two more reasons I am enjoying juice fasting.
 
Extra Time
I spend a lot of time every day preparing food, eating it, and cleaning up afterwards.  I am more aware of this than ever, now that I don’t have to do it!  I’m also amazed by how much of my energy [...]

I never thought I could do a juice fast.  Go without food?  For days?  Not on my list of fun things to do! Contemplating it, I even felt a little panicky.  But this is my second juice fast, and I’ve discovered it’s quite a unique experience — one that I’ll continue to seek out in [...]

It may be Monday, but I’m not working on a menu plan for the week.  For the next five days, my husband and I will be consuming nothing but unfiltered apple juice.

Transitioning to natural self-care products has played a major role in my health quest over the past couple of years.  What we put on our skin is absorbed into the blood stream and, thus, can be almost as important as the food we put in our mouths.  I have experimented with a number of products, from [...]

Throat Potion No. 9

I’m sick.  Not wretchedly sick, but I feel lousy and my throat is very sore.  Since I had an appointment to get my back adjusted yesterday, I asked my chiropractor for advice.  He asked me what I was coughing up (I won’t describe it for you here), then prescribed the typical high doses of vitamin C, echinacea, [...]

Wow.  I’ve ignored this blog long enough that I’ve started receiving hate mail!  On Monday, a mysterious character using the screen name ”susan” kindly left me the following comment on my last post:
the frugality of this recipe grows more impressive with each repeated visit to your website … look, i understand it’s cheap but can’t we get another post soon [...]
