“Comfrey has been of interest to me lately. Besides it’s uses as a plant food and compost activator, it is a wonderful, natural healer, promoting speedy repair of bruises and damaged bones. It isn’t known as the ‘bone-knitting herb’ for nothing! Hubby had a nasty run in with the ride on lawnmower several weeks ago, and not […]
“Have you heard of the Master Tonic? I started reading about it a few months ago, and was amazed at how powerful it appears to be.

Electrolytes help our cells absorb and retain fluid, so drinking a beverage that helps replace those electrolytes will rehydrate the body faster than drinking water alone. I have two problems with real Pedialyte and […]
“Despite our best attempts to live a healthy and toxin free life, there are times when illness or injury strike. In some of these cases (like trauma) conventional medical treatment is certainly warranted and I’m certainly grateful that medical treatment is available if needed. But what about the times when the illness or injury is not life […]
