Are you learning via your computer?  You have never been able to have as much access to information at your whim as you do today.  For that, you can really appreciate your computers and the enlarged world they give you.  If you are like me, there are more videos and podcasts and articles to enjoy than time.  We have to pick and choose.

We can learn via our computer that we already have and internet access we already have, so nothing stands in our way of learning but time.

Here is the link to a series of videos by Dr. Mercola.  The title is, “Diet Against Disease.”   Do you know anyone interested in that topic?  Of course, you do.  And, it is free.  Sign up for the series, and watch or listen to what you can.

I often listen to videos as I am cooking dinner or cleaning up afterwards or doing my hair in the morning.  I use the little minutes here and there because I don’t often have time to sit and listen to one or two hours at a time.  You may be the same way.  Use your minutes instead of hours.  Learn what you can.  Enjoy the series, or, if you are like me, the part of the series you have time to watch!

There has been a surge in cases of anal cancer.  You ask why the increase in cases?  Many cancers are because of chemicals, like BPA.  Have you considered the chemicals present in toilet tissue?  It goes on our most tender regions so perhaps it should be as pure as possible.  As far as I know, the bamboo toilet tissue from Mercola.com is the only toilet tissue that is BPA free.  And, it is good for the environment.  Bamboo is so plentiful and grows so quickly.  It replenishes itself with amazing speed.  Consider it environmentally friendly.

If you have a family history of anal cancer or you have anal fissures or hemorrhoids, you might want to do all you can to ensure your anal health by investing in toilet tissue without chemicals.

Are you looking for the ideal baby gift?  Because babies can’t lift their heads, it is up to us to support their heads.  But when they are sleeping or in a cradle, what can you do?  The ideal baby gift has been created so the parents won’t need to worry that their baby will develop a flat head or too tight of muscles on one side.

This gift is ideal for a baby from birth to 6 months of age.  After 6 months, the baby won’t need it.  You can buy it right off of their website.  As a chiropractor, you know how important I think the neck is!

A friend of mine was in town visiting and we took a trip to the top of Mt. Evans.  There I met Dr. Scott’s son.  He told me all about the tortle, and I am sharing it with you.  Listen to Dr. Scott, a pediatrician, explain the tortle.

Entering a bathroom, I often hold my nose.  Smells from the body don’t bother me nearly as much as the smells from the plug ins that try to cover up the body smells.  Oh my, sometimes they take my breath away.

I am not fond of the irritatingly sweet smells that are filled with chemicals and that I know are toxic.  Must we add to the toxicity  in our environment?  Frankly, I don’t like anything scented that is laden with chemicals.  My nose can tell.

You might ask, what is our choice as we don’t want bathroom smells, and let’s face it, bathrooms smell.  Candles have been popular for many years, but there are problems with using candles, like fires.  I don’t see nearly as many used any more.

But you do have a choice.  What about and easy-to-make room deodorizer that is toxic-free using essential oils?  I am sure there are many recipes to do this online.  Children would love to participate in making these chemical free natural bathroom sprays.  What a great gift and a great activity for children during the summer.  Make them and set them aside as gifts for grandmothers and aunts and neighbors.

I like this recipe.  If you prefer others, please leave the recipe.  May your bathrooms be toxic free and have a fresh smell.

Our teeth are so important to our health.  Some people say you can look in a person’s mouth and tell the health of their body.  Teeth problems are often known to be the hidden cause of all kinds of mystery illnesses.

There was a dentist named Weston Price.  He traveled around the world looking at teeth and researching.  He compared people’s teeth from different cultures.  Different cultures equals different diets.  He found that diet was very important in maintaining healthy teeth, even how straight teeth are.

Do you know how to stop a cavity?  Like anything else in life, if you want to learn how to do something, ask someone who has done it.  I’m giving you a link today to an article about reversing tooth decay and remineralizing your teeth.  I always say, if you want to know how to do something, ask someone who has done it.  The author of this article healed her tooth that had a cavity in it as well a gum issue.  It is worth trying.   I’d do anything to avoid dental work!  Let me know what you think of the article!

And if you have allergies, spring can bring sneezing, watering eyes, itching eyes, headaches and even coughing.  Products I carry in the office that work well if you have allergies are Sinuplex, HMC, and an allergy homeopathic.  If you have allergies and haven’t tried these products as single remedies or as a group, please consider them as having allergies is hard on your immune system.  That is why I try not to be around cats as they will stress my immune system.

Spring time of the year is liver time of the year.  We need to do what we can to give liver support.  The best thing to do is to eat clean food.  Not pesticides.  No chemicals.  You know the drill, but doing it is the trick!

I learned some years ago that I do better, allergy wise, when I keep my house closed.  That way the allergens don’t come inside my house.  I don’t leave the doors closed all the time, but very near it.

A good HEPA filter can help rid your house of allergens.  I have three filters going most of the time.  I remember hearing about a study where they said miscarriages could be determined by how close to a major road you lived.

There are so many contaminates now that each one counts.  We want to decrease our total load of stresses in the body.  We do this by eating correctly and filtering our air and our water!

Enjoy spring!
