I found another site, similar to Natural PCOS Remedy. Apparently this Karen lady is into natural healing. I'm glad to see she has had so much success with healing her medical issues naturally. Many of the programs she recommends deal with changing your diet. I think that helps a lot with balancing your hormones, which is especially important for women. Check it out at Need Hemorrhoid Help. While hemorrhoids are not a fun topic, they are very common, especially with the poor diets many of us have in today's modern world. Hemorrhoids can be come serious as well, if they are not treated properly.

I came across Natural PCOS Remedy a few months ago, when searching for a friend who had infertility problems. She had great success with the program that Natural PCOS Remedy recommends on their site so I thought I'd share. I like anything that deals with healing things naturally, and without medical intervention. PCOS is short for Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, in case you were wondering. It causes a lot of symptoms, infertility being just one of many, and often goes undiagnosed. Check out Natural PCOS remedy here.

If you are a Michigan Raw Foodist, and a parent, you will want to check out my friend Samantha's website Color Wheel Meals. I'm not a parent myself, but I can only imagine how it could easily seem overwhelming to try and change not only your eating habits, but also your children's! Children have different nutritional needs than adults, and also, you want to make sure they are getting enough calories, which can be difficult on a raw/living foods diet. Samantha has two beautiful children of her own, and has been successfully adding raw/living foods into her families meals to help them overcome their health issues with better nutrition. You don't want to miss out on her demo's, workshops, and coaching!

Michigan Health Coach

Sometimes we need extra encouragement to meet our health goals. It's great to have family and friends help out, but there is nothing like having a professional health coach give you advice and tips. I recently had a comment from Cheryl Heppard over at Michigan Health Coach and I just love her website, and all of the services she offers-especially the pantry raid and recipe revamps! I also like that Cheryl tries to keep things simple, since most of us all live very busy lives! Check out her website, you will be glad you did!

World Without Cancer

A friend of mine has a beautiful little one year old girl who was recently diagnosed with stage 4 cancer :( So, I had been researching about her particular cancer and came across a World Without Cancer's website. I wonder if it's true that eating the seeds of fruits (along with the fruit) can prevent and cure cancer? It wouldn't surprise me if the cure was THAT simple. I know my grandma and great uncle on my mom's side both have lived long, cancer free lives and they would eat all of the fruit-even the peel of oranges! (which I always found gross.) Whereas my mom had breast cancer, and ate a much more processed diet. Some people think the seeds are toxic, but others argue that when eaten with the fruit it's not anymore. It reminds me of eggs-when eaten in whole, not just, say, the yolk, but the whole egg-it's a perfect, complete food. So, is it the same with fruit? Should we be eating the whole fruit? While people are concerned it's toxic, I don't know of anybody personally who has died from eating the seeds, do you? I would think you would have to eat a LOT of them to get sick. Also, isn't chemotherapy extremely toxic? I would take the toxic seeds of fruit, as opposed to the toxic drug of the medical profession any day! At least with fruit it would probably be a toxin level that only goes after the bad cells. At least, that's my general intuition on the situation, although it is just that-a guess. What are your thoughts on this? Is it safe to eat the seeds of fruit? Would you consider doing that if you found out you had cancer?

Too much sugar leads to violents crime in adulthood?

Yes, that's right. I actually read that on yahoo news today. I would have to say that any association between this and violent crime later in life, would have to be a link between poor parenting (what good parent would give their child lots of sugar??) but poor nutrition will make you act up too. I am certain most of our behavior problems are diet related (and now I'm also starting to believe it's vaccines-thanks to the swine flu propaganda, I've been doing a lot of research on them) Anyways, it's interesting to think about with Halloween coming up!! :)

Ode to the tomato...

...oh, how I love thee!

I haven't really posted on here much because I've been busy with my experiment on Raw Food Wannabe and there really just isn't as much going on in Michigan during the fall. The farmers markets are still going on, and I definitely encourage you to check some out before it gets too cold!

Since I've been making raw food recipes every (almost!) day for the last few weeks, I've been using a lot of tomatoes. And I researched their health benefits, out of curiosity. I always heard tomatoes were good for prostrate, but was astounded at all of their other health benefits. Maybe I'm the last to know this, but I thought I'd share! Health Benefits of Tomatoes

And I absolutely love basil and oregano, which are also so good for you it's crazy! It makes almost any raw food recipe with vegetables taste better!

I've also been using Vanilla a lot as a sweetener. One site even claimed Vanilla was good for breast cancer! Who knew Vanilla was so healthy? I just love how it smells! I guess I never thought of it as healthy because it's usually mixed in sugary, fattening foods!
