There is a rage going on in the probiotic world which originates from Donna Gates, creator of The Body Ecology Diet. After discovering the healing abilities of kefir on the digestive tract and mucous membranes in general, Gates was gifted a kefir culture on a retreat in Japan. Regular consumption of kefir builds up communities of depleted friendly micro-organisms in our bodies, this pushes out in-grown colonies of pathogenic yeast. Gardens of diverse, friendly bacteria are vital for strengthening our immune systems. They also protect us from pathogenic bacteria (very good on a trip to the tropics!), help us to efficiently absorb nutrients from our food and ultimately assist with healing all kinds of digestive disorders, allergies, chronic fatigue and much more.

Although we've been on the GAPS diet for a year an a half now and are so much more healthier than we have been in years, I just realised I haven't posted a basic explanation of what the diet is, and what it is specifically used for. I recently discovered this article posted on Natural News written b ...

These days if you eat in North America, and increasingly all around the world, you are probably ingesting genetically modified organisms. If you eat a lot of processed food you are eating a substantial amount. I know many of us aren't surprised to hear this report on how the GM DNA transfers to inte ...

As we all know the supplement industry is run by greed and money almost to the same degree as the pharmaceutical industry (if that's possible). I personally believe that we can get everything we need from our food, but at times we may not be able to afford to buy all organic or from farmers markets, ...

My copy of Gut and Psychology Syndrome by Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride arrived last week and over the weekend I had leftover spaghetti squash. On page 149 I found a recipe for egg-free bread/cake/muffins which called for mashed squash. Spaghetti squash is a little watery so it comes out quite dense, ...
