How to Use Nettle Seeds to Make Your Own Wild, Green Superfoods

by Heather Gardner

Most of us loose our £pounds and our power by relying on things that come in a box or a tin from the store. We health-seeking heroines know that plenty of water, fruits and vegetables are good for us, and that supplementing our diets with superfoods is the buzz of the moment. But what if in these challenging times we can’t afford the latest designer health product and recommendations from ‘experts’? Luckily we have an expert who truly knows what is best for us, she’s been around longer than any others and she isn’t trying to sell us something, she is Mother Nature.

In herbalist Susan Weed’s opinion, eating nettles daily is more strengthening than wheatgrass, Spirulina and other green supplements that we buy in pills and packets and not naturally found in our local outdoor herbal larder. Luckily for us nettles grow abundantly in most areas of human habitation and are free for the foraging.

The Role of Garlic and Glutathione in Deep Tissue Detoxification

Taking a Look at Deep Tissue Detox: Glutathione, Garlic and Detoxification

- by Dr. Ritamarie Loscalzo, MS, DC, CCN, DACBN

Garlic is a useful adjunct to detoxification, because it conserves antioxidant levels, particularly glutathione, protects  against liver damage from acetaminophen, and can increase the intestinal activity levels of  detoxification enzymes (in particular quinine reductase and glutathione transferase) used by the body to eliminate toxins.

Garlic protects your liver and heart from damage, and improves your ability to combat potentially fatal conditions like cancer and heart disease. Garlic may also help protect you from heavy-metal accumulation, smog and air pollution. It appears to be the sulfur compounds in garlic, especially allicin, that are most protective.

Glutathione is one of the most important substances for detoxification.  It supports complex liver detoxification, like the kind we will be experiencing during the upcoming Deep Tissue Detoxification program. Because antioxidants get “used up” in the process of protecting you, exposure to toxic substances lowers glutathione levels.

How to Make Peace & Achieve Understanding When Opinions, Personalities and Moods Clash

- by Tera Warner

In honor of upcoming Mother’s Day, Father’s Day around the corner and the start of our 90-Day Communication Cleanse, I’m delighted to present this interview with a dear friend and my family counselor. He’s an amazing person and WITHOUT DOUBT my mentor in communication. I learn SO much from him.

This call is a fabulous conversation about how we can learn to understand and appreciate one another in spite of, or actually because of, our differences. I invited him to come and speak to our community during our  “Raw Mom Cooked Dad” series of interviews. If you struggle butting heads with someone you care about, get frustrated with people you can’t relate to, or would simply like to improve and upgrade your own communication habits, you will absolutely LOVE this interview with Darrel.
