    If its from my garden and its ripe 1 week on the window sill and it will start turning all sorts of funky. I tend to pick them as I eat them though. I try to stick to what is seasonal in our area when I buy them and tomatoes, but we do have them pretty long into the colder months in our yard...

    Does your husband really listen to you?

    I am sorry for your loss. I lost my father in an accident 2 years ago and I know how hard it is. Men have a different way of dealing with grief and emotions. They tend to avoid it and your husband is listening he is just suggesting what he would do if he felt like you do. Not listening and...

    Kava Kava for social anxiety?

    Thats your neurotransmitters. If they are not balanced outside stimuli can send you into the fight or flight response. Along with the Kava Kava and Valerian root suggestions make sure your diet is really clean and high in amino acids. Lack of any one amino can put them out of balance for some...

    I was listening to a natural health podcast on my Ipod about healthy oils a while back and they mentioned two books by Dr Bruce Fife about the benefits of coconut and palm oils. I also saw a segment on Dr Oz about coconut oil. Did a little research of my own and I was amazed at the studies and...

    Coconut oil

    I cook with coconut oil. Its one of the best oils to use because it passes right through the system. I saw a demonstration on the Dr Oz show that showed the difference between oils and what they do to the blood. It also has a lot of other health benefits. It adds a nice mild flavor to...

    Cat sleeping all the time

    Cats need more sleep then humans. They can sleep from 16 to 20 hours a day and its considered normal. Unless your cat is showing other signs of sickness or wont wake easily when you attempt to wake him/her, I wouldn't worry about it. Beth

    How do you feel about the impending corn and beef shortage?

    High fructose corn syrup is like poison. Its why Americans are so fat. I avoid it as much as possible. I think the corn shortage may do people good. Junk food wont be so cheap and easy to obtain.

    Birth control

    There is no cut off date. 35 is just the time when they start to closely monitor your health, history and need for hormonal BC. If your relatively healthy, do not have a family history of breast cancer, blood clots or liver disease and you don't smoke you can stay on the pill longer. Around the...

    Drinking Epsom Salt

    Taking Epsom salt for more then 1 week can cause damage to the kidneys and cause magnesium toxicity. It can be used as a laxative but not a long term solution to consipation or hard stools. Once every few months may be beneficial but more then that would make me concerned.

    Is My Cat Trying To Kill Me?

    I read somewhere cats avoid the smell of citrus for some reason. You could use a citrus scent on your stairs and see if that helps. They also have a product at the pet store called liquid no. It works we used it when they were scratching the back of the couch. You could try providing some...

    How long is too long?

    I dont believe the soul ever dies so I plan to live forever. Maybe not in this body but in some form. It will just be a new journey to take. If you spend your time worring or thinking always about the road ahead you tend to miss whats right in front of you on the path.

    How do you feel about the impending corn and beef shortage?

    We don't have a shortage on beef. I heard about corn but I don't use corn or any corn products especially if they come from a Monsanto GMO crop. I wouldn't miss corn for a minute. I get my beef from local farmers in bulk and they haven't mentioned a shortage. Its fresh, pasture fed, no...

    Tubes tied

    It's a one day surgery now. I don't think its totally healthy and should be used only as a last option to other methods but thats just my opinion. My sister in law had it done and has had problems ever since with painful intercourse and digestive problems as well as bloating that wont go away...
