Many people who don’t vaccinate (we don’t vaccinate our children) use an alternative way to build the immune system.

Why Not Vaccinate?
I’m not quite sure the word “alternative” as used above is even the right word since I don’t believe that vaccines build the immune system in the first place. In fact, they stress the immune system. And why do we vaccinate our children? Watch Vaccination: The Hidden Truth, a 90 minute video to learn why you shouldn’t vaccinate. Read more…

It’s a good idea to find out what others might have to say about the cloth diapers they have used before you make your own purchase of cloth diapers. After cloth diapereing for over 2 1/2 years and I have used a few different types of diapers and here’s what I think about them. Read more…

Don’t Let the Busy Life Get in the Way of Your Real Life

Life is busy and it can be hard for the family to sit down to the table together when you have teenagers running out the door, your spouse walking in from work or toddlers running around and infants crying. Though these can be trying times, it is very important to make sit down dinner nights where everyone is at the table eating together.

The reason families should eat together is because eating has always been a social function. Read more…

Toddlers are more apt to eat food when they see it being prepared in the kitchen? One more reason to cook whole foods from scratch as often as possible.

A Simple Way Out of a Sticky Situation
Do you have an overproductive wax factory in your ears? That’s okay, you are not alone. Many people suffer from a type of dry wax that doesn’t move itself out of the ear canal and can build up causing discomfort and other problems. A simple solution to this ear wax problem is to use ear wax candles.

Ear wax candles are long, hollow and tubular shaped with a tapered end to insert just on the outside of the ear canal. After putting a small paper plate around the bottom of the candle, it is then lit on fire just like a candle would be. While lying on one’s side, the candle is held in the ear until the flame is near the plate. The ear wax is drawn up into the tapered end of the candle.

Try it Yourself
The way these work are truly amazing! Many people doubt the effectiveness of ear wax candles but I can assure you they work. I took my daughter to the doctor because we thought she had and ear infection. The doctor couldn’t see her ear drum because she had major wax build-up. The doctor attempted to clean out the wax with water and a bulb syringe but was unsuccessful so he recommended we put hydrogen peroxide in her ear to get the wax out. I didn’t feel like this was the right thing to do so I candled her ears. One week later we took her back to the doctor and he could see her ear drum perfectly, no infection and no more wax build-up. It had to be the candle because we didn’t do anything else to her ears. You can try this yourself by getting an othoscope and looking in the ears before and after a candling.
