Advice on pinched nerve (probably)?
I've had a really bad knot in my neck recently. I was massaging it last night, when suddenly my shoulder, bicep, forearm, thumb and pointer finger went numb in my right arm. My arm is weak and isn't moving properly. I'm in alignment, so it isn't a chiropractic issue - just muscles. I'm not entirely sure it is a pinched…

Smoking
I'm kind of one of those crazy healthy people that likes to dive into the science of food, exercise, meditation etc. Unfortunately, I have one very large vice and even though I know without a doubt all of the very scary reasons to not, I still smoke. I quit (again) this morning and am wondering if those of you that have…

Healthy Liver- Life after Hep C
In 2012, I was diagnosed with Hep due to internal injuries from an auto accident. The doctors basically issued me a death sentence with my liver count at 66000. I laughed at them telling them NO I would not have it the rest of my life. They sent me to a protocol clinic but I was put on a waiting list. I went home and…

On Root Canals and Water Pics
Hello, I am new here and just watched the video on Natural home based Dentistry. I have a root canal with a crown on it and a cavity underneath it.

Runny eyes
Hello - I'm wondering if someone can tell me about any eye washes you do for runny itchy eyes. I can tell it's allergy related but what kills me is I'm able to get rid of all sinus problems with teas, tinctures and elderberry syrup with raw local honey. I've even gotten my nose polyp down to where it doesn't bother me…

Does your healthy lifestyle spill over to your animals?
Got to wondering about how most people feel or think about nutrition of their animal family. On my journey to be better educated on all things healthy it occured to me that I needed to have an overall approach. I no longer farm livestock, so this is on a pets only basis. Pets are huge business and people love their pets.…
