Take Good Care of Your Body!

In today's day and age we need to be especially careful to take good care of ourselves. The air that we breathe may not be fresh, the water may not be clean and even the food we buy can be toxic. Pollution is everywhere. A lot of us don't worry about it and continue to consume goods wastefully and don't take the time to care for our world. They just don't realize how it is affecting us. Cancer is rampant. What causes it? Who knows?

I do my best to care for the earth and my body. I try to eat organic foods whenever possible and avoid foods that are full of chemicals and colours or overpackaged. Of course, we don't deprive ourselves of every treat available in the 90's. My kids have eaten at the dreaded McDonald's but we try to avoid it as the overpackaging is bad for the earth and the food (can I call it that?) is bad for us.

After a good diet and exercise , my next focus for good health is natural medicine. Taking antibiotics for every little thing can make them become ineffective at fighting disease. This has already become evident in some cases. Some of my favourite natural remedies are listed below. Remember, I am not a doctor...these are just the medicines that have worked for me.

Zand Formula Echinacea-Goldenseal Combination liquid form	about $39 CDN	Both herbs are excellent at stimulating the immune system. I find if I take a few drops every few hours when I feel something coming on, I don't get sick. It doesn't do much for me though , once I have a full blown illness. Don't take it daily or it will lose it's effectiveness.
Natro-Bio Head Cold Relief liquid form	about $10 CDN	A blend of homepathic remedies specifically for the relief of head cold symptoms. 15 drops under the tongue 4-8 times daily when cold starts.
Nim Jiom Pei Pa Koa chinese herbal cough syrup	about $8 CDN for medium bottle	this chinese formula is good for a mild cough and excellent for sore throats...inexpensive too!

If you have any specific concerns I would be happy to look up some natural alternatives in one of my many natural medicine books. Remember, I am not a doctor so I can't diagnose you or prescribe anything to you. I can only quote what the books say or tell you what I have used in a similar situation. Just email me and let me know what information you are looking for.
