  • The Good Egg

    May 7, 2020 - Category: Food as Medicine

    Good eggs come from hens raised in sanitary surroundings with plenty of natural light and outdoor space for exercise and wing flapping. They eat mostly grass, seeds and bugs that is their natural diet, supplemented with grain, preferably organic, free of hormones or antibiotics. The organic label is not a guarantee of superior quality -…The Good Egg

  • The Fat Story

    May 7, 2020 - Category: Food as Medicine

    Saturated fats, cholesterol are bad! Low-fat and non-fat products, all polyunsaturated, homogenized and hydrogenated fats, are good! This is the bill of goods we've been sold by the vegetable and food processing industries (including the sugar companies whose "goods" fill in the taste void created by low-fat and chemicalized fat products), based on the theory…The Fat Story

  • The Bad Egg

    May 7, 2020 - Category: Food as Medicine

    About 95% of the eggs sold in U.S. markets are produced in factory farms where some 250 million hens are jammed into wire cages so small the birds can barely move, much less ever spread their wings. An automatic feeding cart runs between cages, sometimes decapitating hens as they're eating the chemicalized feed - usually…The Bad Egg

    May 7, 2020 - Category: Food as Medicine

    Eating a pomegranate is a challenge. If you don't know what you're doing, you might create a scene that looks like something out of a horror film — seeds scattered all about, splattering their bloody-red color on your skin, clothes, hair and walls! There are, however, less messy ways to do this and they're well…Pomegranate — Nature’s Medicine Cabinet

  • Oregano – The Joyful Protector

    May 7, 2020 - Category: Food as Medicine

    Oregano, Greek for "joy of the mountain," is so much more than a pizza seasoning! The herb was virtually unheard of in the U.S. until soldiers came back from Italian World War II assignments raving about it. But Hippocrates, "father of medicine," was onto its antiseptic properties way back in ancient Greece, using it to…Oregano – The Joyful Protector

  • Onion Power: What Makes You Weep Can Get You Well!

    May 7, 2020 - Category: Food as Medicine

    When you cut or peel an onion, volatile oils are released that stimulate the production of tears which cleanse the epithelial layers of the eyes, clearing waste and toxic chemicals from the cells. A similar detox process goes on internally when you eat onions. But that's not all this powerful bulb can do for you.…Onion Power: What Makes You Weep Can Get You Well!

These have their place, but we’re talking here about a different kind of magic found in…Mushroom Magic

    Legend has it that coffee was discovered by a 9th century Ethiopian goatherd after his goats ate berries from a certain bush and became so spirited they didn't want to sleep at night. Whatever the actual origin, coffee has been enlivening spirits and keeping people up at night for over a thousand years. Today, it's…Is Coffee Good For You?
