Its that time of year again. We take stock, we make some promises and we keep a few. One promise that is easy to keep is a cleanse. It’s a great way to start the New Year and prepare our bodies for the spring and summer. An annual cleanse and detox is recommended for excellent health all year round.

The best order for cleansing is:

Colon Cleanse – essential to clear your gut first! Blessed Herbs makes some great kits that are easy to use.

Kidney Cleanse – Try filtered water with fresh lemon or lemon concentrate. Sweeten with maple syrup and spice with cayenne which is a great blood cleanser. Some people fast on this, but I don’t. 7 days should do it. People with lower back pain should definitely cleanse their kidneys!

Another successful trip to the dentist! For those who have not read my earlier posts, I was facing a toothless mouth from gum disease, bone loss and decay and completely turned things around very simply by taking calcium supplements, flossing, rinsing and cleaning between teeth twice a week with 1% hydrogen peroxide solution and brushing with Tooth Soap.

I have to say I was a bit worried this time. [Read more →]

I’m one of the lucky ones in a fairly secure job on a decent wage, but with the current state of the economy, I  save money where I can. I’m always amazed by the price differences in skin care. It’s very easy to get caught up in the marketing hype, after all, who doesn’t want perfect youthful wrinkle free skin forever? But, if you have a skin condition that is caused by something in your diet, even the most expensive skin creams won’t work. Read on for tips on how to take care of your skin and health and save money too! [Read more →]

It’s been many more than 8 weeks and, although I got stuck somewhere in week 5, I’ve seen some good results with this program. I’ve added and increased a number foods like garlic, ginger, tofu and green tea. The walks have been harder to keep up in the winter with the cold, rainy and dark UK days, but I’m doing what I can. I have lost some weight (although I wasn’t trying to) and I have a lot more energy.

What has been life altering, are the breathing exercises and the introduction to Chinese Medicine. [Read more →]

I was visiting family this month and one of my sisters was two weeks into Dr Weil’s 8 Weeks to Optimum Health. Over the following three weeks we spent together I saw her lose weight and literally begin to glow. Needless to say, I picked up a copy of Dr. Weil’s book and read it on the flight home.

The book is an excellent example of a sensible approach to [Read more →]

Over the past six months we have seen prices of just about everything go up. If your like me you’ve been looking for ways to offset some of these rising costs. I’ve found cheaper insurance, I’ve been leaving the car at home and I’m shopping at the cheap grocery stores, buying bulk and taking advantage of sales. I’ve also changed my skin care regime! No more pricey lotions and potions. For the past two months I have used nothing but coconut oil mixed with a bit of almond oil on my skin. [Read more →]

To recap, I put Cansema on a spot that I thought might just be an age spot, but that changed – sometimes it looked like a burn and sometimes it was dry with a small dark spot on it. I was worried that it was a skin cancer. I put Cansema on it and it formed a very sore scab which was close to falling off last time I posted. [Read more →]
