Did you cry... I did. What are we feeding our children?


More stats... Do we have toxic burden or what..

  • Fumes in new homes, cars, buildings, etc.

  • Drugs & alcohol

  • Air pollution

  • Radiation

  • Additives to cosmetics


If we think what we put into our mouth and live in and around doesn't affect our health... just read the above stats again.

How many fresh clean foods are consumed to packaged processed or fast foods (which are loaded With chemicals)?

I can sum up all the hours and hours of biochemistry I've learned to this...

We are re-generative. Our cells are designed to repair and heal themselves, but they require a balance of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, phytochemicals, glucose, protein, anti-inflammatory fats and nourishing thoughts. If we don't get these the cells do not re-generate and can become damaged and mutate or breakdown and not function well.

There's good news...stated above..we are re-generative! When we Remove toxins and offending inflammatory foods and negative thought patterns we can Repair our tissues Replace proper nutrient balance and Restore optimal function.

REJOICE in this miracle of nature.

Stop If.. then medicine! If you have XXX, then take XXX. Tell others, let's make our nation healthy once again. Some times little changes make big results.

Move more, Eat better, Create balance & Be well!
