In the meantime, I am sharing that I am participating in the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life in Palm Harbor, Florida on April 13th.

I have been doing A LOT of research into cell phones and EMFs emitted off of them (amongst other items we are exposed to). Radio waves coming from these devices trigger responses that lead to
effects ranging from anxiety disorders, learning problems and electrosensitivity to immunological deficiencies and cancer.

I am sure by now you have heard about the dangers of Bisphenol-A (BPA) in plastics. The danger lies in that this chemical leaches out of the plastic into the beverages or foods contained within the container. Most recently, it’s been found that many baby bottles and sippy cups have these chemicals and this doesn’t [...]

My 3 month old son has had a cold/cough for nearly a month and has been through one round of antibiotics. Plus, I have been giving him probiotics (which I highly recommend anyway). Well, since the cough is still there, I contacted the holistic doctor he had seen a month ago and she said that [...]

This issue has been bothering me for some time and I don’t want to stir up any major debates or anything, but I figure we want to make sure our kids are healthy and will live long, healthy lives. What we do to our bodies is one thing, but we really need to watch what [...]
