Organic health & beauty...naturally better!

Blissful Babies Products  

Below is a list of books we have read/studied and use almost daily  as we prepare our products, improve products or make decisions about new products.  We highly recommend each of these and only place those books we have and use in this list.  After working as a registered nurse in a critical care unit for eight years, I became very frustrated and disillusioned with allopathic medicine.  These books restored hope and gave me a new and exciting focus for health and well-being.  I hope you enjoy them as much as I have and begin to use what God has provided for us naturally.  Some of these books are written from an allopathic viewpoint.  Medicine and health should involve both natural products and traditional allopathic medicine.  Discuss new opportunities with your regular physician.  If he is not open to natural health alternatives, I'd simply find another one who is.  They are out there.  I've taken my background in nursing and added to that knowledge natural health opportunities.  I am constantly learning and restructuring my belief system as I see some things work and others not work.  We also provide a link to a place these books can be purchased and attempt to provide bargain opportunities.  If you have specific questions about any of these resources, please just e-mail us and we will get back with you.  For those of you who know better, I have not documented these books using a MLA or APA format because I specifically wanted to list the name of the book first - rather than the author(s). I can only hope Mrs. Sutton, my 12th grade English teacher, will forgive me this oversight.
