Don’t Pull That Weed! Lamb’s Quarters and Toxin Removal
I grew up in the suburbs, where the amount of land around your rented house or apartment is enough for a dog to pee on, but not much more. Now, with two acres, I have a gap in knowledge that I’m fast trying to close. I’ve started a wonderful garden where I go to whenContinue reading “Don’t Pull That Weed!

Is Chiropractic a Joke? An In-Depth Look at Chiropractic Therapy and it’s Affect on Autism
When thinking of chiropractic therapy, many people immediately become squeamish, distrustful, or just ambivalent. “I can’t stand the sound my neck makes,” “I will never go to a chiropractor again,” or “I don’t need to see one,” are all common phrases on the topic. In our culture’s view, it sits on a fine line between medicallyContinue reading “Is Chiropractic a Joke? An In-Depth Look at Chiropractic Therapy and it’s Affect on Autism”
Peanut Butter Fat Bombs
No one understands the plight of having a sweet tooth with no sweets to eat more than I do. Yes, sugar cravings are kicked in the tuckus on the GAPS diet, but I still miss those really horrible but oh so satisfying desserts. It’s an addiction and nothing less.

GAPS Legal Kale Chips
I never believed I could make kale chips without burning them or turning them soggy. After some recipe research and practice, lo and behold, the perfect kale chip!

Farmaggeddon and Life with Littles
Writing seems to be a luxury when you are daily running around chasing four kids, six and under. Technically I am chasing three while clutching a two month old. I stay positive and sane, mostly, with the thought that they will get older soon enough and the poop, food, and lego messes will pass. That,Continue reading “Farmaggeddon and Life with Littles”
Part II: Fluoride and It’s Dental Effectiveness
To determine what scientific research has concluded about fluoride and it’s effectiveness in preventing cavities, being taken orally and/or topically, we first must understand the research process and why studies are so varied. Is ingested fluoride as beneficial as applied fluoride? Who regulates the dosage? Finally, who do I contact with my own concerns aboutContinue reading “Part II: Fluoride and It’s Dental Effectiveness”
Homemade Kombucha on the Cheap
When I first wanted to start making Kombucha from home, I was hesitant to pay twenty dollars for a gallon glass jar. Yes, I’m that cheap. With three kids, and one on the way, every dollar has it’s place. That’s when my six dollar idea arrived! Why don’t I just buy a giant jar ofContinue reading “Homemade Kombucha on the Cheap”
