Right now I’m using dental floss that doesn’t contain “wax.” But in the past I’ve used waxy floss, sometimes flavored with peppermint. I started avoiding the peppermint version a long time ago. I figured it contained some nasty chemicals I didn’t want in my body. But I wasn’t too worried about the “wax.” Until I Leave a Comment
It’s been widely reported that the herbal supplements you find at your local drugstore may contain harmful ingredients. Sometimes, these formulas contain little to no herb. But plenty of fillers you may not want to consume. This is a double-edged problem. You don’t receive the intended benefits. But you may ingest potentially toxic additives. That’s
Here’s the bad news. Many of us live with chronic inflammation. It affects us in a number of ways, none of them good. (Chronic nerve pain here.) Excess inflammation is hard to tame. Some people try to do it with drugs. Pharmaceuticals, however, have side effects. Some of them serious. But there’s good news. Many
You’ve had it. Enough is enough. Finally, you’ve decided to confront the narcissist in your life. You’re tired of the lies. The deceit. The backbiting and character assassination. The ongoing smear campaign. Everything. So you choose a time. You choose a place. You decide it’s time to hold the deceiver accountable. You gather up the

I’ve long been baffled by the Instant Pot craze. And I’ve never understood all the fuss over this little kitchen appliance that everyone just has to have. Because I have an appliance I like better. A lot better. This is my totally nontoxic slow cooker with a clay base. I’ve used this slow cooker for
Soap nuts are a natural, nontoxic cleaning agent. These dried berries are often used to clean dirty laundry. You just pack a few in a little muslin sack. Then, you throw them in your wash cycle. They clean nicely. Without a lot of suds. Without potentially dangerous chemicals. Out of all the natural laundry solutions
One of the things I miss most is ice cream. I no longer eat ice cream because I’m on a dairy free. (This seems to help my widespread body pain.) But all is well. Because I’ve found that adding a couple of other ingredients works just as well. So you can still enjoy a fruity,
Narcissists are incredibly dangerous. They want to destroy your life. They will stop at virtually nothing in order to do that. The trick is to root them out before they get the chance. But that’s easier said than done. Because they are the veritable chameleons. They can even appear meek, mild and saintly. They change
