Probably the Most Important Thing I’ve Learned About Health: Digestion & Elimination

Every once in a while I think I want to publish something here and then when I dig into the archives I realize that I already have. It’s always fun to discover, and somewhat cringe-worthy to read, these old posts that still apply today. Some of these concepts and ideas literally changed my life and I am so thankful to have had the opportunity be exposed to them.

So I thought I’d republish a series on a topic that, in my personal experience, is the absolute foundation of physical health. This topic is a bit touchy and kind of makes me giggle a bit, but I’m assuming y’all feel the same way.

The series is called Digestion and Elimination and you can read those four parts here:

Please note that all of the information in this series comes from a class I attended put on by the wonderful Weston A Price foundation. My friends there shared this with me and a crowded room of others, and my only wish is to share such beneficial information with you. I am in no way a medical expert and do not wish to portray myself as one.

Feel free to leave comments here on this post or in the comments of the individual posts. Any further insight is more than welcome here!

A Pot of Herbal Tea for the Common Cold (Recipe: Tulsi Rose Hip Tea)

I would much prefer that I or my husband were sick rather than our little ones. There’s something about a sniffling, hacking child that makes one feel so inadequate. Perhaps that is why our children get colds. Nonetheless, they seem so much more resilient during the process than we do. Granted, at 6, 4, and…

Digestion and Elimination: Diagnosing The Health Of Your Gut

Alright let’s talk about it. With two small children we talk about poo a lot in our home. Perhaps that is one of the many blessings of babies. After all everyone does it, even if no one wants to talk about it. But seriously, it is perhaps one of the best indicators of your health….

Growing Black Spanish Radish for Food and Medicine

Years ago we were seeing a natural practitioner when I had an infection. He handed me a bottle of Black Spanish Radish and nodded his head when I looked on the back and it read “Ingredients: Black Spanish Radish”. So it’s just radishes? A couple dozen of those little tablets and a few days later…

Adrenal Fatigue: Introduction and Definitions

NOTE: Gardening and preserving is keeping me pretty busy these days. A few articles that bear repeating will fill in the gaps on the days when the to-do list is too long. This post was originally published in August 2009. When our oldest son was a newborn I found out that I had an underactive…
