If you have Cancer, or you know someone who does, you need to read a little pamphlet called" Cancer How and Why Tahitian Noni Juice Helps in Treatment and Prevention". and "Noni Nature's Gift to Cancer Patients". Both are in the same publication, which is available from Direct Source Publishing by calling 1-800-748-2996, or by contacting a distributor of Tahitian Noni (see www.tahitiannoni.com). It can be used in conjnction with other alternative treatments and also with conventional treatments. Cancer needs to be attacked from several directions at the same time. There is no "silver bullet" for it. When you opt for conventional radiation and chemotherapy, it is vital that you also use natural treatments and dietary supplements which can lessen the damage done to healthy tissue, and to your immune system, by radiation and chemo, and that you continue those supportive supplements well beyond the dissappearance of your symptoms.

If you have been reading this webpage for any length of time, you know that the bottom line, in Kevin's book, is the same one I've been naming for years: 1)Don't listen to mainstream medicine 2)Avoid illness by building your immune system 3) Only you can heal your body - by eating right for your own body type, by getting rid of toxins, by staying away from drugs of any kind (prescription, over-the-counter, or recreational). Natural Cures says it very clearly. People who are saying that "there are no cures in this book" simply can't read or won't take responsibility for their own health. There are no magic pills in this book. What is there is information about both obvious and hidden toxins that we encounter daily, numerous ways to clean your body of these disease causing toxins and several choices for healing your spirit, as well. The information in this book is invaluable. Read it and use it.

I'm reading Kevin Trudeau's book Natural Cures "They" don't want you to know about If you value your health, and that of your family and friends, you need to waste no time in getting this book and reading it! Get it here

October 14, 2005 I have finished Kevin Trudeau's book and I can't stress enough the importance of the information in it. IF YOU VALUE YOUR HEALTH AND YOUR FAMILY'S WELL-BEING, YOU MUST, MUST, MUST READ THIS BOOK COVER-TO-COVER! THEN, FOLLOW THE RECOMMENDATIONS IN IT, TO WHATEVER DEGREE AND AT WHATEVER PACE YOU CAN. You and I (and everyone else in this country) have been duped. Conventional medical "care" will ensure that you do not achieve and maintain good health. This is a mind-blower, for sure, and will be difficult for some to grasp. But, you need to be willing to change your viewpoint on health care and medical treatment if you want to be well and healthy. DO IT NOW!

I want to repeat the following for you, in case you missed this entry from Feb, 2004:

If you have cancer, or know someone who does, there is a website which researches and reports on alternative cures. Yup, I said "cures". There is a membership fee to use this site, but information there may well save your life, so pay it. On the site, you will also be given contact numbers for practitioners who can help you with the protocols which are presented there. You cannot buy any supplements or products at this site. It is informational only. Go to http://www.holisticcancersolutions.com.

Hate mammograms? That's not surprising. Mammograms are uncomfortable, to say the least, and they aren't particularly effective. In fact, if a tumor is large enough to be detected by mammogram, it is likey already in an advanced stage. Further, mammograms bombard your breasts with more radiation that an xray does, and can contribute to cancer in that way, as well as by possibly breaking down (and spreading) existing cancers when the breast is compressed. The good news is that there are two new diagnostic tools being developed which do not require compression nor radiation and do not cause any discomfort. They are "Comuter Tomography Laser Mammography" (CTLM) and "Breast Cancer Detection System" (BCDS). Read more about this at www.hsiealert.com in the June 7, 2005 HSI e-Alert.

Antibiotics. You may be old enough to recall going to the doctor with a sore throat or respiratory infection and having a throat culture done. The doctor swabbed your throat and sent you home to breath steam,or something, while he cultured the bacteria to learn which antibiotic would be effective against the particular bacteria you were fighting. Then, he would phone in the prescription to your local pharmacy.

Recently, it has become very clear to me (I knew it, but just couldn't face it) that this is no longer done. You are given some broad-spectrum antibiotic (which could cost a $100 or even more!) to "cover all the bases". In other words, he has no idea whether or not this miracle drug will kill the bad guys you are dealing with. The result, of course, is antibiotic resistant bugs and ever-stronger, and more expensive, antibiotics (not to mention weakened immune systems).

Do me, and yourself, a favor, will you? Next time you visit the doctor (or take your child) with something that might require an antibiotic, insist on a culture being done and don't take any antibiotic until you have the correct information! If you are actually fighting a virus, not a bacterial infection, an antibiotic will only upset your digestive tract and, in the process, lower your immunity even further. Even the correct antibiotic will do that. The more times you use antibiotics, the more difficult it becomes for your body to fight disease by itself.

Your best defense, against disease, is to get plenty of sunshine (no, it doesn't cause cancer), eat unprocessed (preferably organic) foods, cut out sugar, processed grains,"healthy" vegetable oils and margarine - use coconut oil, palm oil, butter, (liberally), and small amounts of olive oil (no, they don't increase your cholesterol), and supplement with vitamin C (ascorbic acid form, at least 1000 mg per day) and mercury-free fish oil (for its Omega 3). And use unpasteurized dairy products, if your state is health-minded enough to allow you to get it.

CANDIDA. This nasty parasite can manifest in many different ways, none of them pleasant. Despite what your doctor may tell you, you can get rid of Candida. Furthermore, you can do it best without prescription drugs. This website will fill you in on the signs and symptoms of Candida and how to rid yourself of it. http://www.amazing-candida-albicans-cure.com/index.htm

Feeding Baby: If you are considering bottle-feeding, or are unable to breastfeed your baby, please, please, please read this now:

Vitamin E: You have probably heard the negative stuff, on the news recently, about how vitamin E can contribute to heart failure, instead of protecting your heart, as we have been believing for years. Well, don't get excited and throw out your vitamins, yet. The tests were done with synthetic vitamin E. For full information click here.

Salt: good or bad? Salt is necesary to life, but excessive salt (which is present in processed food and restaurant food) will damage your health. Here are two opinions on salt use, one from William Campbell Douglass II, MD (The Daily Dose) and Dr Mercola: http://www.realhealthnews.com March 15 issue of The Daily Dose "Of Spice and Men" http://www.mercola.com/2005/mar/16/fda_complaint.htm

Are you taking Prilosec or Nexium, or considering using one of them? First of all, you should know that they are virtually identical, except that the prescription version costs five times as much. If you are using one of these, do not stop taking it without reading Dr Mercola's article at http://www.mercola.com/2005/mar/16/prilosec.htm and http://www.mercola.com/2002/dec/18/nexium.htm These are very dangerous drugs which do not cure anything at all and can actually make your ulcers worse, even if used as directed.

Prostate Cancer book every man should read, Dr. Clapp's bestselling “Prostate Health in 90 Days” Thirty percent of American men, or one in four, will have prostate cancer by the time they’re 50, with the numbers increasing as men age. You can ensure that you are not one of them.

New form of coconut to add to your smoothies or Panna Cotta (see Sue's Cookin'): It's coconut cream. Lots of fiber, creamy texture, yummy flavor and plenty of nutrution. See it here.

Regarding Splenda (sucralose): If you still think that this is a safe alternative to sugar or other artificial sweeteners, look at this.

Regarding natural food supplements: as I warned earlier, we may lose our right to use vitamins, amino acids, enzymes, probiotics THIS YEAR! We all need to take action NOW. Please go to http://www.alliance-natural-health.org and explore the site fully. If these natural substances are banned in Europe, the U.S. is next.

If you are skeptical of what I report here and/or what is reported at www.mercola.com, I urge you to explore the National Library of Medicine and www.healthsentinel.com. Amazingly, you will find there that maintream medicine is often aware of the dangers inherent in the accepted practices of "modern medicine".

Are you wondering about flu shots? Do you need them? Are they safe? You may have read here that I'm not a fan of any vaccinations for anyone, based on information from www.mercola.com . It's far better to adjust your diet to maximize your immune system. I just received an email from a good friend of mine that reinforces my aversion to vaccines:

Just a quick note, to confirm that flu shots can be dangerous. I learned yesterday that a long-time friend of my family is in the hospital in a coma, following a flu shot on Tuesday. She collapsed in the Dr's office moments after the shot and has not regained consciousness. Naturally, the doctors are saying the shot had nothing to do with it ...

The way I see it, whether the reaction was to chemicals in the vaccine, some kind of lightning fast allergic response, or some accident in the vaccination process such as injecting into a vein or artery, the result is the same. If she hadn't been injected, none of this would have happened.

She passed away the next week. Seems they had to put her on life support and breathing machine when she arrived at hospital. When her condition didn't improve in a week, the doctors told the family that it was unlikely that she would regain consciousness and even if she did, brain damage would be extensive. So it was decided to disconnect her.

Flu vaccine is never precise. It is formulated based on the type of flu that was present the previous year. Maybe it will work and maybe it won't. Do you remember earlier this year that the hue and cry was how terrible the flu would be this year and how scandalous it was that there wasn't enough flu vaccine available? We were all gonna die! Well, it wasn't a bad year for flu after all. Hmm. How did that happen?

Do you believe that your doctor will recommend whatever is best for you? If you had cancer, would you trust your doctor to prescribe the best treatment program for your individual case? You need to read this article http://www.mercola.com/2004/nov/24/modern_medicine.htm before you need to entrust your life to the medical community.

I just discovered another website which addresses natural cancer treatment, as well as treatment for a number of other major diseases. The site is presented by an MD who effected her own cancer cure, when conventional medicine failed. This is excellent reading and is quite enlightening. Don't miss it! www.drday.com

If you know someone who has been bitten by a Brown Recluse spider, you probably know how difficult this injury is to treat. Here is a website, written by a physician, which will help you identify your injury and treat it successfully:

Are you in charge of your own health? Some years ago, I decided to work for myself. In doing that, I left the safety net of employer-provided health insurance. Someone asked me "what will you do now, without health insurance?" I said "I guess I won't get sick." That statement was truer than I knew.

I have adopted, as my hobby, research into alternative medicine, causes of illness, prevention of illness, and actual cures. Health is more than lack of symptoms. Ill health is caused by only a few basic things: a ph imbalance and improper nutrition are the two main problems. I could write a book, here. Fortunately for both you and me, others have already done that. My purpose here, is to help you to get information for yourself and reach your own conclusions about what is right for you. I hope that you will visit the websites I mention and read the books I've listed and make your own determination as to what you need to do.

One thing that I have realized is that "modern medicine" cures nothing. It "treats" things - makes symptoms go away (maybe for a little while, maybe for a long while). It "improves quality of life" which means that you can continue to live with that illness, rather than die. Now, here's the surprise: most alternative medicine is doing the same thing! It's just being done with natural substances instead of chemicals, radiation or surgery. Hmmm. What's wrong with this picture?

What if, instead of taking this or that drug or supplement to handle specific things like headaches or poor digestion or toenail fungus, a person could just make a few changes in lifestyle and , as a result, not have to deal with things like headaches or indigestion or toenail fungus? Well, we CAN. Our health is our own responsibility. We can be vigorous and, consequently, happy - or not. It's up to us, individually.

Several articles in Dr. Wolfe's newsletter this week attracted my attention:

Arthritis, Multiple Sclerosis, Lupus If you are affected by one of these diseases, or know someone who is, I strongly urge you to read the appropriate article. Just click on the link. Dr Wolfe has an interesting website at http://thewolfeclinic.com/. You can contact him by phone for advice on health and diet.

Here's a link to some important books, recommended by Dr. Mercola of Mercola.com, the number one health website.

There seems to be massive confusion on whether the sun is good or bad. In fact, everybody needs sunlight. Without it, you cannot produce vitamin D, which is critical to the functionality of your immune system. Further, we keep hearing that we should use plenty of sunscreen. However, sunscreen can be harmful in and of itself, not to mention the fact that, while it won't prevent skin cancer, it will stop your body from making vitamin D. Read up on the benefits/dangers of sunlight at www.mercola.com .

**URGENT** If you or anyone in your family plans to get a flu vaccination, or any vaccination - including "routine" vaccines given to kids and babies, I strongly urge you to go to www.mercola.com and type Dr. Russell Blaylock vaccine article into the search engine there. Read this article carefully. It could help you to avoid Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, ADD, ADHD and more. Please, please do this!

If you have a baby or plan to have a baby, you need to read what Dr. Mercola has to say about baby formula. You may believe that soy based formula is a healthy alternative to breast milk, or healthier than other types of baby formula. It is NOT. Go to http://www.mercola.com/ and type "baby formula" into the search engine.

Two books, more than anything else I've read, have made me see just how wrong we've all been concerning health. Those two books are The Metabolic Typing Diet by William Wolcott and Trish Fahey and Dr. Mercola's Total Health Cookbook and Program. These books will let you see how and what to change in your life to achieve true wellness.

New book to read: The Maker's Diet - "the 40-day health experience that will change your life forever". by Jordan S. Rubin. Dr Mercola was so impressed with the importance of this book that he offered a free jar of coconut oil to anyone who bought it (very reasonable price on the book, too!

Everyone's body is unique. One thing that is universal is that you will be healthier if you eat the proper foods for your own body. That requires some research to find out what your particular body needs. The three books mentioned above will help you to determine what that is for you. Using the data in them, you can devise your own eating plan which will produce better health and immunity and adjust your weight correctly - proper eating for your own body will cause you to gain weight, if you are too thin, or lose weight, if you are too heavy. because it is what your body really needs, it is not a chore to follow such a plan. This is so much better than jumping from one fad diet to another!

HERE IT IS! Dr Mercola's new book can be purchased here! Learn more about the book here.

Boy! I hope that you are paying attention here! There's some dynamite information coming in right now!

Candida: (Or other fungus or yeast infections) if you have trouble with these, here's a website where you can get some real information that can help you beat it http://iknowthecause.com

CANCER: There is a simple test which will expose any type of cancer -
(Anti-Malignan Antibody Screen). AMAS is a simple and amazingly
accurate (95%+) blood test. This information comes from The Daily Dose, February 17, 2004. The article addresses the ineffectiveness and danger of mammograms. Access this report at www.realhealthnews.com
8/19/04 I just learned about a test which detects cancer years earlier than a mammogram. It is called Breast Thermography. It works by taking infrared photos of your breasts. These show increased heat in the body, which is created when pre-cancerous cells create new blood supplies to feed themselves. This test is not painful, nor does it flood your body with dangerous radiation. Finding a problem early, as this test allows you to do, lets you handle the situation with dietary changes and/or cancer-fighting supplements, to reverse the problem before it becomes cancer. What a concept!! Mammograms can't detect cancer until it has produced tumors, which is far too late.

I'm reading The Metabolic Typing Diet by William Wolcott and Trish Fahey, which goes hand-in-hand with Dr. Mercola's Total Health Cookbook and Program and his No-Grain Diet book, as well. Holy Cow! I knew that every body was different, but I had no idea how profoundly different each one is. The reason that a particular supplement works for John but not for George, is that their bodies use nutrients in different ways. A substance which may lower one man's cholesterol, may have no effect at all on another's and may, in fact, raise the cholesterol of a third person! This is fascinating stuff. I wish that I could transfer this data to you with a Vulcan mind meld, like they do on Star Trek! But, you need to read it for yourself.

Today's Daily Dose, the newsletter from William Campbell Douglass II, MD, via http://www.agora.com/, brings super news for parents of epileptic children. He reports that studies have shown that a low carb/high protein diet (ala Dr Mercola's eating plan) can help. 50% of the subjects in the study were seizure free after four months on the new diet.

NEW BOOK: "Dr. Mercola's TOTAL HEALTH Cookbook & Program." Order it now by clicking on the link above. This is a must read!

Vitamin D: I've mentioned Vitamin D before, but new information is available every week or two now, it seems. First of all, even if you work out of doors all winter, like Dave and I do, if you live north of Los Angeles (draw a line straight across a US map) there isn't enough UVB getting through the atmosphere to deliver the vitamin D you need.

Multiple Sclerosis: Research has shown that sufficient vitamin D can help you avoid MS. Further, MS can be treated with vitamin D, together with calcium and magnesium.

"A 2001 Harvard study co-authored by Dr. David Ludwig, director of the obesity program at Children's Hospital in Boston, found that every additional can of soda kids drink daily increases their risk of becoming obese by 60 percent." This statement appeared in today's issue of Dr Mercola's daily blog. for more information, go to www.mercola.com and type "soda" into the search box at the upper right hand corner of your screen.

Dr Mercola's Blog today had an article about garlic. I clicked on the link to read other articles he has in his archives and learned that simple garlic, either raw or cooked, is effective against

Tests have shown that eating one clove of garlic per day cut the risk of stomach and colon cancer by up to 50%!

As you will learn, if you follow the link above, garlic powder or garlic supplements of any kind, are not effective. Two elements within the garlic clove combine, when the clove is crushed, to form allicin, which is the component which fights disease. The allicin dissipates shortly and you can be sure that it is long gone in the garlic supplement you bought.

So, how about that!? Your grandmother (or maybe her grandmother) was right again! Infection? Strep throat? Fungus? Virus? EAT GARLIC. Additionally, garlic just happens to be absolutely loaded with enzymes. Enzymes are what cause the creation of the allicin, when you crush that clove of garlic. When you eat it, the same enzymes will aid digestion. Unlike antibiotics, allicin will not kill off beneficial bacterial which are crucial to digestion and to your body's ability to fight disease.

Update Jan 26: My daughter, who has very high blood pressure, tried garlic for it. She took one crushed clove of garlic in the morning and, by evening on the same day, her blood pressure had fallen to slightly below normal. Since then, she has continued to take fresh garlic. Her high blood pressure, which has been a problem in the past, despite medication, is maintaining a normal level.

Dr. Mercola's newsletter for today included some very important and helpful information, which I think you should read.

1. Carbohydrates cause disease. This doesn't mean that you will die next week from that Big Mac meal you ate today, but evidence shows that those "age related" diseases are due to years of carb intake. Here' the link http://mercola.com/2004/jan/3/carbohydrates_age.htm

2. Fermented foods - pickles, yogurt and things like that - are VERY beneficial to your immune system, digestive system and general health - but they must be truly fermented foods. Unfortunately, most are not. Read about it here http://mercola.com/2004/jan/3/fermented_foods.htm

3. This from Dr. Mercola's blog: There is increasing evidence that fish oil or cod liver oil blocks the gene that causes clogging of the arteries. The blog is a daily thing, so the information there changes pretty rapidly. You can subscribe to it at Dr. Mercola's website www.mercola.com . Here are links to articles he referenced there http://www.mercola.com/2003/mar/1/fish_oil_heart.htm

January 15, 2005 Unfortunately, Skin Answer has been taken off the market. I told you it worked. Searching for a useful replacement now.

We just discovered a product that is truly amazing! If you know Dave, you also know that you haven't seen him wearing a short-sleeved shirt. The reason for that is that his skin reacts badly to the sun. He doesn't burn, particularly, but his skin develops small, dry spots which become scabby lesions when exposed to the sun. Even when he is wearing long-sleeved shirts he gets enough sun to create these lesions. Medical doctors cut or burn them off at no small expense. We have noticed that many people have a similar problem, often not as severe as Dave's, thankfully. Up to now, the MD route was the only option.

I have been surfing the web, looking for a description of this skin problem, and an effective treatment for it, for about 4 years now and I finally found what I was looking for. It is a product called Skin Answer. A tiny bit of this cream, applied to the lesions daily, erases them. No scarring, no pain, no medical bills. The result is as if the lesion never existed. Go to www.lanelabs.com to read about this and more.

The retail price of Skin Answer is $70. I am currently working on getting it in quantity, so I can offer it to you for $35 or less. "Stay tuned" for more information.

New book by Dr Mercola, which combines the No-Grain diet information with more dietary data specific to your own metabolism. Lots of great recipes, too! Go to www.mercola.com to learn more.

I haven't mentioned Vital Ion for a long time. V.I. is a natural liquid supplement which increases the oxygen in your blood. It helps to normalize your ph level, improve the function of your immune system, combat indoor and outdoor pollution. Dr Otto Warburg, was awarded the Nobel prize for discovering that disease cannot live in the presence of oxygen.

One of the amazing things that Vital Ion does is handle asthma. Dave's Dad used to have asthma so severe that he was using an inhaler routinely as well as getting steroid injections on a regular basis. He could barely walk across the room without distress. He did the starter "cleanse" with Vital Ion, then continued with just one capful of this wonderful stuff per day. That was a couple of years ago. Now he chops huge piles of wood, pulls fallen trees out of the river behind his blueberry farm in Oregon, repairs the buildings - all without asthma attacks or distress. He is 69 years old and a former smoker. Learn more at www.vitalion.com

Re: DMSO and MSM. You may have little to no information about these two substances, or you may have heard that DMSO is used to treat muscle sprains and such in animals. If you have heard of it at all, you most likely believe that DMSO smells like oysters and, when you use it, you taste oysters and smell bad. Well, a lot has happened over the past 20 years, or so, in the development of DMSO.

I strongly urge you to go to www.jacoblab.com and read the FAQs on DMSO and MSM. Dr. Jacob has been working with DMSO for many years, at his clinic at the Oregon Health Sciences University, in Portland, Oregon. His research has revealed numerous ways in which DMSO can be helpful.

I have always kept DMSO around for burns. It heals them so rapidly, it seems miraculous!

Recently, while doing some research for one of my customers, I discovered the Jacob Labs website. I was amazed at the new information I found there.

a potentiator of other compounds (makes drugs/medications work more effectively than they do without it)

normalizes the immune system, so is effective when treating autoimmune diseases.

Multiple Sclerosis If you are taking expensive prescription drugs to treat MS, you need to read the Oct 11, 2003 issue of Dr Mercola's Newsletter. Go to www.mercola.com

First, I want to let you know about my success with the No-Grain Diet (see below entries). I lost about 30 lbs and went from a size 12 to an 8. Now, I can eat a little grain or sugar, now and then, and it has no effect on my weight. It took only about 4 months to do that and it was utterly "painless".

If you, or a loved one, have Cancer, I want you to know about a website I found which reports on effective and safe, alternative treatments. Go to http://holisticcancersolutions.com. You will need to pay a fee to view these reports (and get access to contact information for practitioners who use them and will consult with you by phone). It is well worth the price!! This is not a commercial site. They are not in the business of selling stuff to you. Their purpose is to let you know that, no matter what stage of cancer you are experiencing, you can be helped.

I want to strongly urge you to go to www.mercola.com and search for "milk". Follow all of the links and read carefully. Despite the fact that California is the only state in which you can legally buy unpastuerized, unhomogenized milk, that is the only form of milk you should be consuming. Find out why at www.mercola.com.

Do you use sunscreen religiously, like a good little girl or boy? Well, knock it off! There are cancer causing agents in it!! Yup. This stuff becomes carcinogenic when it is exposed to uv rays. How stupid is that?! Get the info at www.mercola.com.

If you are troubled by Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) or other intestinal illness, autoimmune disease, allergies, I strongly urge you to read "Patient Heal Thyself" by Jordan S. Rubin, N.M.D., C.N.C. ISBN 1-781-1893 10-24-5.

I finished reading "The No-Grain Diet" (see below) and began following the diet. Since the 05/26/03 update, I have lost 12 lbs and a dress size, without ever being hungry and without feeling deprived. In fact, I've been eating whenever I feel like it. I just don't eat grain products or sugar. I'm in a better humor, I feel terrific, and I laugh when I look in the mirror. While I have been at this weight before, that was 10 years ago! For the first few days, I was confused. What could I eat?? By the 3rd or 4th day, it became clear to me that I could eat all kinds of things that I had been avoiding - cheese, cream, butter, eggs, any kind of meat, as sell as poultry or chicken, fruit and vegetables. Whether you are overweight, have high blood pressure or just don't feel as good as you think you could, do yourself a favor and try this diet for a couple of weeks.

I just finished reading Dr. Mercola's new book The No-Grain Diet. You've got to read this!! You have no idea how much false information we have been fed about grains! See the new website at www.nograindiet.com

While searching for information about skin pigmentation, or the lack of it, I recently ran across some very interesting data on vitamin D. This is important stuff. In recent years, instructions from medical people and the media have urged us to avoid the sun and to refrain from eating fats and fatty fish. Those instructions have made many of us deficient in vitamin D. You can access the website of Krispin Sullivan via www.mercola.com - search for her or for vitamin D and the url will come up. She wrote a report entitled "The Miracle of Vitamin D" which you can access by clicking here. If you are anything like me, there's a lot you can learn about this vitamin and how to get it safely. This report will surprise you with information about getting enough sunlight at midday - yup. We need uv light, just like Mama said. Imagine that.

Just as raw vegetables are better for you, due to the fact that nutrients and enzymes are destroyed in cooking, so too, is raw (unpasteurized) milk more healthy. Additionally, un-homogenized milk is preferable because in homogenizing (mixing the milk with the cream so it won't separate) fat molecules are reduced in size. Naturally, the fat molecules in milk are so large that they pass through your system harmlessly. In most states, raw milk is not sold in stores anymore. However, you can find it by doing an online search. In many places around the country, there are dairies where you can buy or barter for raw milk.

*****************************************************************************************

I've been searching for the most basic element of health care for several years, now. I've learned that diet is the most important thing to consider and I've found that you can get effective information on that subject at www.mercola.com. Dr. Mercola has written a book, which was recently released. It will help you to understand your own body's requirements and tailor your diet to your own body type. Eating correctly for your own needs will keep you healthy and automatically make any adjustments needed in your weight without a weight-loss type diet. Learn about it on his website.

******************************************************************************************

Eating right is how to get your body to a more alkaline state, which helps you fight disease in two ways: 1) a more alkaline body has more oxygen in its blood. 2) disease organisms cannot live in an alkaline environment nor in the presence of oxygen. Alkalization is the 2nd most important thing I learned and goes hand-in-hand with the first, proper diet.

Recently, I read a book called "Probiotics Nature's internal healers". I learned that probiotics (beneficial bacteria) in the digestive tract, is all-important to properly utilize the correct diet I learned about earlier. Additionally, some of these bacteria actually create antibiotics right in your body! No need for synthetic antibiotics, which kill good bacteria as well as bad. Probiotics can rid your body of diseases which medical doctors call "incurable" (that means they have no expensive drug that will cure you).

If you are trying to alkalize and are not having success with it, it may be because you, like millions of others, are lacking in beneficial bacteria in your intestinal tract.
