After several blogs pertaining to digestion, you should be getting the message. What you eat and digest is the key to your health. Enzymes are required to digest virtually all food. Nature made a beautiful system. Every cell contains enzymes, that when released aid in the digestive process. Though all raw foods contain the […]
Read MoreThe digestive tract is really a simple system. A long tube open at the top and bottom. Food goes in the mouth, it travels along as if on a conveyor belt, nutrients are extracted, and the non usable waste is eliminated out the rear end. If you read no further, get this point: Nutrients can not […]
Read MoreIf it is hard to understand the concept of “energy,” think of a machine powered by the electricity running through it. People and animals are like a complicated machine with energy being the “electricity” that makes the body work. Everything made of “matter” has an energy associated with it and emits or gives off its […]
Read MoreIn all the research I performed for this paper, combined with what I learned in veterinary school regarding feline nutrition, CATS ARE CARNIVORES! Not only that, but they are obligate carnivores (they MUST eat meat). Cats have no nutritional requirement for carbohydrates. Cats were designed to eat mice (one of nature’s perfect foods for a […]

FEEL each breath. Sit up or stand straight. Focus on every part of you that is involved with breathing. Repeat 18x’s am/pm […]
Read MoreThough no one expects to live forever, we should be living longer AND HEALTHIER lives. Living into the 80’s and 90’s would be great if we could function without pain and digestion issues, be independent, enjoyed our years, and remembered who we were. Factors that lead to dis-ease include: Poor nutrition. Foods grown on nutritionally depleted soils […]
Read MoreI picture the body as a complicated machine. The body (like a machine) has many parts. In both models, some parts need to be replaced periodically and some parts need cleaning. Here is the amazing difference between a machine and the body. If a machine part wears out, it must be replaced, the machine can’t […]
Read MoreSo I had 2 children, 8 and 6 years old, and neither one fit in the “box” as defined by the school system. I was working full-time in my veterinary office and had no associate. Fortunately I owned my own veterinary hospital and could make rules that worked for me. My husband also worked with […]
