We just updated our Discount Clearance Sale area to make it easier to see what is available. (It used to be a huge rummage basket.) These products are sold at our COST. They are overstocked items, or have been pulled due to a soon-expiry (in a month or two), or are being discontinued from our offerings. Come in during business hours to check out our lazy Susan of bargain-priced items! Items change regularly.

Watch for this new fraud tactic. This is from my bank. Please share.

For your information: most, if not all flu vaccines still have mercury (thimerisol) in them. They took thimerisol out of the MMR vaccine after a lot of public outcry, even though the powers that be said the thimerisol ingredient in vaccines is safe. Mercury is a powerful neurotoxin. Remember the “mad hatter” disease? …or did your parents ever instruct you not to play with mercury balls in your hand?
“Single dose” flu vaccines do NOT contain thimerisol. They are harder to find and are more expensive for the provider to carry. You may be able to make a case to your provider that you are not a candidate for yearly mercury injections into your bloodstream and request a single dose flu vaccine if you are a vaccine user.
Here is a list from Johns Hopkins that shows a number of vaccine’s ingredients. You will see the thinerisol as well as aluminum, formaldehyde, and also the egg white ingredients, all of which are questionable to tge immune system of certain people

About Janina Church, local artist, and yoga instructor:

"Living a holistic lifestyle has been a key to balancing my personal health, growth and wellness. My path has involved practicing and studying the philosophy of yoga for 12 years (teaching for 8 of them) and studying Ayurveda for 6 years."

"I've been inspired to get back into offering the sound bath experience. Covid changed everything, but now's the time to be well, in the presence of community..."

How Will The Evening Go?

We will be seated in comfortable chairs. The lights will be low...air purifiers on.

Sylvia will be guiding a meditation for the first 15-20 minutes to help us

"ground,"...to help us get in touch with our bodies,...to help us invite the flow of positive energy that cleanses and re-energizes us.

Meanwhile Janina will be softly playing her crystal bowls.

Then we will all sit together in meditation, while Janina bathes us in layers of sound by playing the specially tuned crystal singing bowls for the rest of the hour.

Please don't be late!...and please, if you have got on the RSVP attendance list: if you do need to cancel, let us know because our events often have a wait list.

It’s about time that governmental bodies that regulate health remove themselves from the big business of live animal testing. Support White Coat Waste Project for more of this…

WE WON! After a 9-year campaign, White Coat Waste has SHUT DOWN the NIH’s last in-house dog lab. 2,133 beagles perished here—until we exposed it & CLOSED it.

First, WCW ended dog testing inside Veterans Affairs labs. Now, we’ve laid waste to the US govt’s LARGEST dog lab.

No other animal protection group has closed any federal dog labs in almost 20 years.

Do I really eat a "tote" container of veggies the size of a full kitchen shelf every week? Pretty much, yes! Here is one way you can get more veggies in you, or in your kids!

Get Pamela's gluten free (or any other) waffle mix. (I skip the part about separating and whipping the egg white, and I just mix the egg in.)

Then chop one large leaf of kale or chard into thin ribbon like slices and mix in. Put in the waffle iron and Bezaang!!...veggie waffles that taste just like regular waffles.

This weekend beauty shows probably too many veggies in the mix: I used one small chard leaf including stem, one small kale leaf not including stem, and two wilted reddichio leaves (the red ball lettuce type).

Still tasted great. I added KerryGold grass fed butter from Ireland. (No, I'm not afraid of fat as long as it is grass fed and grass finished; As soon as the cow is corn fed, it throws off the fatty ratios and makes the fat unhealthy, potentially.)

And then top with pure maple syrup (no high fructose corn syrup* in this house)!

*high fructose corn syrup is digested by the liver...just like alcohol is, rather than through the intestinal walls, and is implicated in the obesity epidemic.
