Let's Make 2009 Our Best Year Ever!

Let’s Make 2009 Our Best Year Ever!

What are you going to do this year? Are you going to make it a magical year? Or just another year? Another year older. More of the same.
You could begin designing your life and materializing your dreams. Or you could just keep doing what you’ve been doing.
This year you could get to know yourself better [...]

Why I’m Changing My Focus from Health Education

(I’m warnin’ ya. This is a long one.)
I’ve been interested in what makes for health for a long time. And I’ve been so blessed to have found and studied the tenets of natural hygiene. Natural hygienists have been studying health for almost 200 years while allopaths have been studying disease. If you’re a fan of [...]

Cats Get Sick after Cross Country Road Trip

Cats Get Sick after Cross Country Road Trip

Dr. John Tilden, in his book Toxemia Explained: The True Interpretation of the Cause of Disease (read the book here), states that disease is caused by toxemia plus enervation. He writes:
DEFINITION of Toxemia and crises of Toxemia:—In the process of tissue building—metabolism—there is cell building—anabolism—and cell destruction—catabolism. The broken down tissue is toxic and in health—when [...]

“Disease is of Man’s Own Building” — Dr. John Tilden

Some look at the religious fanatic and think her deluded and brainwashed, someone who has bought into a mindset fashioned in the church she attends. They see the closed mind and dogmatism and are grateful that they have not been so influenced, grateful for their independence of thought.
But when it comes to health, illness, and [...]

Stop Finding Excuses as to Why You’re Sick and Choose to Get Well

I (sometimes) enjoy participating in discussion boards related to health and wellness. I love sharing things I’ve learned to help people recover from their diseases. I don’t always go about it the best way. I have my own hangups. I have the temerity to suggest that people are usually responsible for their illnesses. It’s akin [...]

Germs: A Natural Hygiene Perspective

Those who preach fear of germs today are the mental offspring of those who have preached fear of God, devil, hell, and heaven in the past. They do not know that the fear which they inculcate is more to be dreaded than the object of their warning. Fear does a thousand times more harm than [...]

What’s Wrong with Pharmaceuticals?

You’re an infant and you get an ear infection. The doctor prescribes antibiotics. The infection clears but reappears three months later. Another round of antibiotics. This goes on for a year or two. As an 8- and 9-year-old you have chronic bronchitis and headaches, which are treated with antibiotics and ibuprofen. You get the flu [...]

Refuse to Condemn Yourself or Feel Guilty for Your Mistakes

I once played tennis with a man who berated himself after every missed or faulty hit. “You idiot!” “Stupid, stupid, stupid.” “How could you miss that?” “Dummy!” What was supposed to be a game of fun was an exercise in self-condemnation. He wasn’t even aware of it; it was a conditioned response, perhaps taught to [...]

Horrible Beauty Shop Visit with Narcissistic Hairdresser

Horrible Beauty Shop Visit with Narcissistic Hairdresser

It has been over a year since I’ve had anything done with my hair, so I decided to splurge and get a cut and weave. I made an appointment with Leslie at the Veneta Beauty Salon. A couple of people had recommended her.
I arrived on time and when I walked in the door Leslie stood [...]

Five Lies Fed Us by Organic Farmers

Five Lies Fed Us by Organic Farmers

Organic food is a great idea. Grow food as naturally as possible without toxic chemicals by providing for the health of the soil. The farmers’ market is a great idea. Get fresh, local produce directly from the grower. So what has gotten me so irritated that I’ve written six–make that seven–posts?
Because what are essentially great [...]
