I can confidently say, without a single doubt, that natural treatment for lice is WAY more effective than the chemical stuff. BTW, the chemical stuff (I won’t name names…) doesn’t work on lice anymore because the lice have MUTATED and are now IMMUNE to it. Instead, what’s worked for my family (I have 2 school aged children…
Viruses are not new to humankind, but fortunately, nature also holds the solution. The good news is we DON’T have to wait around, wringing our hands, waiting for a vaccine for each and every one. Something that hasn’t gained much traction through the COVID pandemic, but what many herbalists and naturalists around the world know, is…
We’re told that vaccinations are part of a healthy lifestyle. “Well, you don’t want to get the flu, do you?!” The common flu has a survival rate of 99.9%, by the way. And approximately 44% of Americans receive the flu vaccine every year. As an herbalist, I’ve seen people get vaccinated and still get sick, or…
I’ve treated several patients over the years for fatty liver disease. The bad news is that it’s very common. The good news is that it’s possible to reverse it. What Causes Fatty Liver Disease? If your food doesn’t have a mother or a father, your body digests at least part of that food as a…
You’ve probably heard of PRO-biotics before. Probiotics are a supplement or food that contains the bacteria naturally found in your gut. After taking antibiotics or if your digestive system needs a little extra help, someone might recommend you take them.

When diagnosed with an autoimmune problem like Lupus, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Endometriosis, Chron’s, Grave’s and even, one could argue, Cancer, and others, the prescribed solutions rarely address the root of the problem. In fact, the question of WHY this condition occurs in the first place is rarely addressed. There’s a (controversial) theory circulating in natural healing…
A few year ago, I started coughing – no other symptoms – and it was really bad. Like hacking up a lung kind of bad. I tried every single herbal remedy and vitamin I could get my hands on. It would get a little better, but it kept coming back. There was a rattling…
A vegan meal can be very healthy. Vegetables are necessary and so good for you; they’re the best! But for some nutrients – zinc, B12, protein, D, omega 3s, and iron – the best sources are animal proteins. The Issue of Quality Vitamins and Supplements Most vitamins are synthetic and made in a laboratory. Centrum, a multivitamin…
Red meat is perhaps the most misunderstood food out there. “Red meat increases your cholesterol.” “Red meat makes you gain weight.” “Red meat is bad for your digestion.” “I’m eating so bad this week. (ME: ‘what are you eating?’) Red meat.” Here’s the true facts about beef (and buffalo and lamb): Quality Matters Not…
Water. I have a scale that measures your body’s internal water percentage. When I check my clients for hydration, ideally between 50-60% of your total body mass, I noticed that people who need to lose weight are always dehydrated. In a book that I highly recommend, French Women Don’t Get Fat, by Mireille Giuliano, the author states that French women…
