God through Nature has provided us with a wealth of resources for health, healing and well-being.

It appears that the tide has turned in recent years, both in the medical field and for those of us searching for natural solutions for health, healing and well-being.  These resources, of course, have been around since time began - long before pharmaceutical companies ruled.  And the really good news is - they are better, less expensive and easily available.

Yes, Mother Nature has much to offer, and the first step to taking advantage of this wealth of healing power is to educate yourself.   When a health concern presents itself, it is essential that you search for every available option in order to be able to make an informed, educated decision.  We can't continue to let our doctors make all of our health decisions without at the very least  reviewing, researching and considering other options.  Truthfully, our doctors also want us to do that.   As the old saying goes - knowledge is power and an informed person has the power to take control of their life and use every available resource to live a healthy and active life.

For this reason, we have purposed ourselves to providing you with as much current research and discussion as possible concerning all areas of health.  This section is dedicated to you - those of you who want to take control of your lives and your health.  For this reason also, Ann is now enrolled in Clayton College of Natural Health as a master's candidate in Holistic Nutrition and Natural Health.  She has subsequently completed her aromatherapy certification as of spring 2007. This certification was obtained through a rigorous 18 month course offered by Jane Buckle's Clinical Aromatherapy for Health Professionals.  Ann's new official title (yeah!) is (drum roll) Certified Clinical Aromatherapy Professional. 

Our message is not just about bath & beauty products that are naturally anti-aging, but our "message" encompasses all that impacts our health.  Beauty and health come from the inside FIRST.  What we eat is so very important to our longevity and even more important than how long we actually live on this earth (which is not really our home), is the quality of life while we are visiting this planet earth.  What we are able to accomplish in our short time here means so much more than "who" we are, our success in other people's eyes.  If we are constantly bombarded with health problems that sap our very energy, then we are not able to give our all to whatever is God's plan for us.  The links below are just one of many that will be you on the plan to better health.

PAGING DR. ROSS:  There is so much information out there for those of us willing and able to take the time to look for it.  However, not all of it is accurate or helpful.  Occasionally, we receive information alerting us to where NOT to look for information.  This article is an example of that.  Click here.

Assessment of magnesium levels in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).Entrez PubMed "The conclusion from the investigations is that magnesium deficiency in children with ADHD occurs more frequently than in healthy children. Analysis of the material indicated the correlation between levels of magnesium and the quotient of development to freedom from distractibility."

GOVERNMENT STUDY: HIGH LEVELS OF PESTICIDES IN KIDS' DIETS
U.S. government scientists from the Centers for Disease Control have released a new study revealing that switching to organic foods provides children with "dramatic and immediate" protection from toxic pesticides. The scientists tested the urine of elementary school children for 15 days. Children ate conventional foods for ten of the days and ate organic foods for five days. During those five days, researchers saw the toxins malathion and chlorpyrifos in the children's urine completely disappear. These chemicals are two of the most commonly found pesticides on non-organic foods, and are associated with nerve damage in children. Pesticide levels increased five-fold in the children's urine as soon as conventional foods were reintroduced to their diet. The study concludes, "An organic diet provides a dramatic and immediate protective effect against exposure to organophosphorus pesticides that are commonly used in agricultural production." http://www.organicconsumers.org/school/organicstudy090405.cfm

A CALL TO ACTION  - By the First Annual Conference on Nutrition & Health
This recent conference and their "call to action" states very clearly what we believe to be true and also to be a wake-up call for us all.  We can no longer depend on our family physician to give us accurate and up-to-date information about diet & nutrition. There is information available and we are RESPONSIBLE to ourselves to read, learn and do what is necessary to change.

Healthy Skin from the Inside Out:
Dr. Andrew Weil agrees with all of the articles and research available - you can't and won't have healthy skin unless you feed it from the inside.  He recently stated in his daily e-mails:  ""If your skin is tight or scaly, and you're looking for something to improve its condition, try supplementing with sources of essential fatty acid. Evening primrose oil, black currant oil and borage oil are all good sources of GLA (gamma-linolenic acid), which promotes healthy growth of skin, hair and nails. Of the three oils, black currant oil (in doses of 500 mg twice a day) is the most economical remedy for dry skin conditions. You won't see immediate results from this treatment, but in six to eight weeks you'll begin to notice positive changes." 
 
A Norwegian study found that office workers whose spaces had plants reported 23 percent fewer complaints of fatigue, stuffy noses, coughing and eye irritation than workers who had no plants nearby. No doubt helping alleviate discomfort was the fact that plants also increase the humidity level of a room to a more comfortable 30 to 60 percent.  Read the rest of the article at:
