I knew this day would come: GMO is contaminating our organic food supply……sigh

I knew this day would come. I suppose it's been here for a while, but this is the day I researched it and came with so much evidence, it was nauseating. Bottom lime, GMO's is starting to show up in our organic food supply, in various forms. For example, organic farms can find their product [...]

“Lively Up Yourself”….and your morning coffee, with healing herbs, spices, and extracts

I'm not a super big coffee drinker, on most days at work I drink my Maca Coffee, which is much better than java to me. I do still love regular coffee on some days however, especially on those "lazy Sundays" where the world slows down, and I actually have an hour or two to live [...]

Say “No-la” to Canola (This oil is no less than poison)

….I have no idea if Monsanto is involved with Canola, just a blatant "cheap shot" at Monsanto for trying to kill us all It cracks me up when someone post a healthy recipe and one of the ingredients is like, add "half cup" of Canola Oil. That would be analogous to me posting a recipe [...]

Another Cancer Killer? Guyabano (a.k.a. Soursop)

I'm not one prone to get wrapped up into "urban legends", "old wives tales", "nutritional scams", and all the rest, too much meticulous "research-ability" (if that's a word) in my nature, and I know in my heart and instincts that the Guyabano plant is truly a miracle healer. It kills me when I continue to [...]

Oils, the good, the bad, and the ugly

When people ask me of the main things that wreak havoc on people's health I normally say Genetically modified foods, high fructose corn syrup, artificial sweeteners containing aspartame and other poisons, but the 4th that folks don't seem to be as aware of, is the oils we consume. You'll be amazed at the countless number [...]

Nature’s Dynamic Duos: Papaya and Green Tea (Amazing health benefits when combined, especially for prostate health)

When I got hooked up to papaya, I swear I almost thought about becoming a modern day Dr. George Washington Carver, doing with papaya what Carver did for the peanut, that is, create hundreds products and  uses from one plant. The papaya, and all that is can do, seems almost a never ending list, I'm [...]

Nature’s Dynamic Duos: Honey and Cinnamon (amazing wellness and healing properties when combined!!!)

All over this blog,  I speak of this mysterious "vibration" that I get when eating powerful whole foods, plants, and herbs. I REALLY get that so called vibration whenever I eat, or use on my skin, real raw honey combined with Ceylon Cinnamon. I thought I uncovered something akin to the Secrets of the Pyramids. [...]

Reishi: Nature’s #1 ranked healer………………….

The "Shinnoh Honzohkyo" is the Japanese name of the ancient Chinese text in which several hundred health and healing plants and herbs are ranked. Reishi (Ganoderma Lucidum) destroyed all competition to take the coveted #1 ranking. I consume reishi daily in my smoothies [...]

5 Hour Energy: don’t waste your energy, or money (I found an easier, safer solution to the “Two O’clock Blues”)

Whether there is any truth or not to the current drama that 5 Hour Energy is linked to over a dozen deaths, in the end, the whole concept of taking a product like this is, as least for me, a waste of time and money. I kinda have this “seething” issue with, when something affects [...]

The mysterious case of the “cancer free” meat eaters

I don't really have a pony in the race of the vegetarians vs. the Paleo style meat eaters. Whatever keeps me cancer free will work for me. I did thoroughly read and enjoy the book "The China Study", which has a very convincing theory that cancer was correlated to increased animal protein intake. However, there [...]

Chia: food of Aztec Warriors, and food for me, The Modern Day Warrior

I had both Chia and Salba (the "top of the line" Chia) on my superfood list for a couple of years, but as with so many superfoods I research, I can only bring in so many, only those that I can consistently eat every day. I just brought Chia into my "dream team" daily nutrition [...]

I’m a “health nut” who loves fried food (as long as it’s fried in organic coconut oil)

…..and I've got awesome cholesterol blood test scores to be very comfortable with my convictions. Coconut oil is an EXTREMELY  healthy oil, in spite of how big business has successfully convinced the masses over the past 40 years that it is not. A special shout out to the Canola Oil industry, who has successfully fooled [...]
