Have you heard of epigenetics? The word means 'above genetics'. It's an idea that says we have more control over our health than many of us think. It proposes that what we believe, think, and feel has an influential effect on the activation, or not, of whatever genes we may have. Our thoughts...

It's cool to see scientific verification of the healing, health-promoting effects of human connection. Physical touch is really quite important! I'm glad I'm comfortable being a hugger.

A lot of people I know have been going gluten-free. Two friends have noted that after doing so, they realized a sense of depression they didn't even realize they were living with had lifted. Another noted how her son's behavior improved dramatically after removing gluten from their diet. I have...

I guess with a neti pot, you can't control the pressure. What I'm using is not actually a neti pot. I can control the flow/pressure, so it's a bit better, I think. It's still quite an odd sensation, though. But to me, the results are worth it.

I have a hard time believing that anything coming from McDonald's qualifies as healthy. I would place bets on their vegetarian food being as void of true life-giving qualities as the rest of their food products.

One healthy practice is the use of a sinus rinse. A sinus rinse consists of flowing a saline solution through nasal passages. Neti pots are by far the most common way to do this, and they work well. My new favorite way to do this, though, is with a product made by NeilMed. It is a soft plastic...

Hi. I quit smoking over a year ago. My lungs definitely feel much better already, but I would like to see if there's anything helpful in speeding up the healing process. I do breathing exercises, and exercise already. Are there any herbal remedies that can assist?

I got it, and am really liking what it's doing for my body's skin, but I'm not sure yet with my face. My skin is definitely softer, but my skin is also breaking out. Could just be the timing, though!

I am going to try the coconut oil, for sure. I recently saw it for sale at our neighborhood warehouse store, but wanted to learn more about it before buying. I hope they're still carrying it.

I've been hearing a lot lately about raw honey being an excellent facial mask. It's important that it be 'raw', which I think can only be found at health food stores. I haven't checked out ordering online. It's definitely going to be sticky to use, but I think it just comes right off with warm...

I use a fruit and vegetable wash specifically made for removing such residues. I do whole batches at a time when I get my produce, so it's then ready to go.

Music can make us feel good, and feeling good opens the flow of healthy life force energy and provides the atmosphere in which health can occur. As opposed to feeling bad, which equals stress, which we pretty much all acknowledge these days, as illness-inducing.

Nutti wrote: Processes from Abraham-Hicks can be very helpful. They have several books out, and a plethora of recorded seminars on cd. Also videos. They suggest things like making lists of positive aspects, purposely thinking about or imagining things or experiences that feel good to you, and...

Anybody seen the movie called "The Cure"? I agree with its main message, which is basically that you need to be emotionally healthy to be physically healthy. If you are emotionally unhealthy, it will eventually end up showing up physically.

That sound soooo great! I would really love it. Not saying I'd be great at it, right off, by any means. But I would sure as heck do it. Certainly would prefer not to be videod though, at least in the beginning.

I have gone to a very good clinic during their 'Community Acupuncture' times. And there are four or so other places around that also offer a very similar type of service. These are regular private practice clinics where they do see clients individually. They just offer this option to help get...

Freshfoodie, thanks for that reccomendation. There are some other good all natural brands that have been reccomended to me, I'm forgetting brand names at the moment. However, my mate is set on our pup having Science Diet for the first year. If I have more of a sure winner in natural dog foods...

I vehemently believe that how we think, and thus feel, affects our health immensely. And not just what we think about our health. I think it's more about how much tension we allow ourselves to carry in our body; and I think tension is caused by internal conflict of some sort. Or by being...

I am glad our dog likes most fruits and vegetables (the okay-for-dogs ones). But I have wondered if we could find a better food for him, as I do think his eating grass often has to do with stomach upset. Maybe it's just wonderful that they can help themselves to a natural salad!
