Misconceptions about infant feeding and sleep are common! If you expect your baby to sleep long stretches and eat every three hours, you may panic when he or she does not conform to this idea.

There is so much of like to share with you about your reproductive and general maternal health.

Western medicine does keep us sick in so many ways!

Western, or allopathic, medicine is NOT about healing - except maybe in orthopedic medicine.

Most often allopathic medicine is about treating symptoms and NOT the root cause of your issue.

Anyway, I want to remind you that only you know your body better than anyone.

Get away from the noise of the medical system and listen to your body.

I have nothing to sell you, but I beg you to step away from the institution of medicine and to turn into health.

For most of us, our body was created to work perfectly. To have so many dependent on pills for so many things is not what our bodies need.
