I checked David Wolfe’s recent spending meme. The figures don’t hold up. Don’t Share Bad Numbers Just Because You Hate Big Pharma I love to truth bomb — especially when it comes to health, on both the medical and the natural side. A recent meme circulating from David Wolfe lists huge dollar amounts spent on […]
Hey everyone, we’ve had a bunch of you asking whether you can make colloidal copper with our colloidal silver brewers. Yes, you absolutely can—the machines work with copper electrodes just fine for generating the solution. The big challenge? You can’t reliably measure the PPM in your homemade colloidal copper without professional lab equipment like a spectrophotometer (those […]
I’ve been asked a lot lately about drinking from copper, and whether you should drink CS from a copper cup. In India they call overnight copper water tamra jal. You put plain water in a copper vessel at night and drink it in the morning. That is not a replacement for a copper supplement. In […]
No pasta. Meaty, cheesy, and you won’t even taste the cabbage. You can find this recipe all over the internet but no one else calls it cabbagna that I know of. That’s my invention 🙂 What you need About half a head of cabbage (I use Napa; other kinds work too, but some need a […]
This has become my new favorite drink — I’ve been having it almost daily. It’s a real treat, but the main reason I stay consistent with drinks like this is that they carry a lot of the supplement powders I take. That means fewer capsules and fewer fillers. I use pure powders, organic where it […]
People once got enough nutrients from food alone. That is no longer possible for most unless they grow all their own food and maintain healthy, well nourished soil. A lot of people want one pill that covers everything. I haven’t found a multi I’d recommend for most people, and I don’t take one myself. Oil-based […]
When I get asked what detox protocol I follow, I usually say: “I do things to detox every day.” My goal is simple — more toxins going out than coming in. I don’t have one strict daily protocol. I switch things up a lot. These are tools I rotate, not a list I do all […]
I’ve been working in this group for over 8 years. What I wish for most is that everyone who spends time here gains at least some real wisdom about taking control of their own health — the kind that lets them make truly informed choices. Medical doctors (and plenty of natural ones) rarely give you […]
The brain is one of the richest cholesterol-containing organs in the body — about 25% of the body’s total cholesterol is found there, even though the brain makes up only ~2% of body weight. Brain cells have especially high cholesterol needs for membrane fluidity, signaling, and repair compared to most other cells. Cholesterol is also […]
Walk down any grocery aisle and it’s obvious: the food industry has made almost everything addictively sweet on purpose. They know concentrated sugar hooks us. Our ancestors never lived with this. For example apples and grapes used to taste a lot less sweet, and people were fine with bitter and earthy flavors because that’s what […]
Real Kefir vs Store-Bought (Plus Non-Dairy Options) Most store-bought kefir isn’t the real thing. Here’s why. Traditional kefir comes from ancient fermentation in animal-skin bags — a living mix of bacteria, yeasts, and other microbes that creates a tart, effervescent drink. The key microbe is Lactobacillus kefiranofaciens, which produces kefiran — a special prebiotic fiber […]
When we clean up our diet and lifestyle to address a chronic condition, the surprising and unexpected “side benefits” are often the most exciting part. They’re powerful proof that the body can heal from the inside out when we give it what it needs and remove what’s in the way. For example — while focusing […]
I recently posted Dr. Berg’s Lemon Water + Salt in the Morning recommendation. Then someone asked: Will limes or key limes work as well as lemons? Simple answer: No. Lemons are significantly better. They contain much higher levels of citrate, which is the main beneficial compound for kidney stones, gout, and liver support. Limes (including key limes) […]
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about why some people pour money into supplements, treatments, protocols, and even the best practitioners… yet still don’t see the healing they’re hoping for. Here’s what I’ve learned from my own journey: No one else can heal you. Only your body has the innate intelligence to heal itself — […]
With all the talk about Cyclospora (that parasite causing gut issues from contaminated produce), I wanted to share some empowering info. I’m not skipping my raw fruits and veggies, and here’s why I feel solid about it. Cyclospora is a single-celled parasite that can sneak into produce via fecal contamination, especially in big supply chains. […]
(and a great starting toolkit for stress, migraines, and tension ones too) Hormonal headaches often flare up around cycle shifts, perimenopause, or when estrogen and progesterone are out of balance. Your body is trying to tell you the foundations need support — not that you’re deficient in ibuprofen. These headaches are usually yelling about deficiencies, […]
To all you home cooks, I came across a technique for roasting onions and garlic that gives such deep, caramelized flavor — even better than doing it on the stove — with almost no work. The oven does most of the magic. It’s such a versatile base — you can turn it into all kinds […]
Here’s something you might not think about — but it’s biologically accurate. The lumen of your digestive tract (the space where food travels) is technically topologically outside your body. It’s a long tube that passes through you, but until nutrients cross the intestinal lining and enter your bloodstream or lymph, they’re still “external.” Your body […]
A well aligned human body is like a neat stack of Jenga blocks. If you put a wedge at one end under one side all of the pieces above that have to shift in order to keep the structure erect and from toppling over. Raised heels in shoes cause all of the joints to compensate […]
We all find it hard to eat as well as we’d like on busy days—short on time and often tempted by quick choices we know we’ll regret later. What if there was a simple, customizable, delicious way to get concentrated nutrition you could whip up almost anywhere — whether you’re at work, at home, or […]
Blue light (especially the wavelengths around 460–480 nm) is the most disruptive type of light for sleep because it strongly suppresses melatonin — the hormone that signals to your body that it’s time to sleep. Melanopsin cells—special light-detecting cells that are most sensitive to blue light. These cells send a direct signal to your brain’s […]
I used to think sleep masks were just for people who struggled to sleep — so I rarely bothered with them. I tried a couple over the years, and they always ended up on the floor within minutes. I couldn’t stand them on my face. Here’s the thing: most of us sleep with some light […]
Think about it. Right now, without you even having to think about it, your heart is beating. Your lungs are breathing. Your blood is circulating. Your cells are quietly repairing and detoxing. You woke up this morning — your body did that for you again, like it has every single day of your life. Through […]
Creatine is a natural compound your body makes from three amino acids, (arginine, glycine, and methionine) and also gets from meat and fish. It helps produce energy in your cells — especially in muscles and the brain. While most people supplement with it for physical performance, research shows it can also support brain function, memory, […]
Most packaged spice blends (like taco or burrito seasoning) are full of unnecessary additives, anti-caking agents, hidden sugars, artificial flavors and more. They’re convenient, but not healthy. Making your own blend is even more convenient once you have a jar of it in your cupboard ready for use! I’ve been playing around with smoky seasoning […]
Last night I made my cacao drink, took the first sip, and this heart naturally formed on top. I wasn’t trying to make it happen at all — it just appeared. Cacao has been traditionally used for centuries as a heart-opening plant, so I thought it was pretty cool. This is a very simple, traditional-style […]
Prebiotic/Herbal Oral Rinses These are gentler alternatives to harsh antibacterial mouthwashes. Instead of nuking everything (good + bad bacteria), they help balance the oral microbiome by feeding the beneficial bugs or using herbs that selectively target pathogens while sparing the helpful ones. While I do use colloidal silver as an antibacterial mouthwash, I’ve started to […]
The mouth has beneficial bacteria (especially on the tongue) that convert dietary nitrates into nitrite, which becomes nitric oxide (NO). NO is a powerful signaling molecule that relaxes and widens blood vessels, which helps lower blood pressure, improves circulation, and supports heart health by reducing strain on the cardiovascular system. Beyond that, it also boosts […]
Making nut milk can be a pain. I especially dislike using a nut milk bag. I discovered my own hassle-free way to make nut milk, then ferment it for optimal benefits. Benefits of Fermented Nut “Milk” One of the big advantages of making your own fermented nut milk — you get a natural boost of […]
When I go to Tijuana for treatments from the Holistic Health Clinic I stay at the Grand Hotel, located in the same hotel as the clinic. This leaves me without a kitchen for weeks at a time. My most recent stay was for almost 4 weeks. Rather than eat restaurant food multiple times a day […]
