Possible Skin Cancer? Going, Going, Gone with Homeopathy!

Skin cancer runs in my husband’s family.  So when a little bump on his head got weird fast, we were concerned.

 

Tick Bites and Lyme–What to Do? Fear no More!

Finding a tick with its head buried into your flesh can be disconcerting in itself.  Worrying about what diseases it might be carrying is another whole matter.  Do we just need to wait in fear for the dreaded target rings to appear around the bite?

Testing Probiotics–Is Mine Good?

Many people often have a probiotic they bought off a drug store shelf, unrefrigerated.  After learning what to look for in a probiotic, they wonder if the one they already bought is any good.  Should they keep it?  Throw it away? Here’s a test I found which might help you determine if your probiotic is alive and ready to work.¹

Goodbye, Wisdom Teeth! Hello, Homeopathy!

Adam and Eve had many advantages, but the principle one was that they escaped teething. ~Mark Twain–
