I am very excited to see how many people turned out today for the VegFest in Novi. This was my first time attending this event and I was really impressed with the amount of support and interest there is in our area in regards to a natural pursuit to health. There were local growers & local cooks of various types of foods, many wonderful restaurants, acupuncture trials (offered by my friends from Acupuncture Health Care Associates of Michigan ), cardiac exams, chiropractic alignment exams, massages and more. I am so excited to see the amount of people in Michigan looking for more healthful alternatives to our every day needs! I even won a door…

Resolve (www.resolve.org) is a fantastic organization for families suffering from infertility to turn to for support. According to one of the articles posted by Resolve, at this time, there are only 15 states with insurance mandates covering costs associated with infertility. A single round of IVF averages around $10,000 and that is really just one chance. While IVF can be successful for many families, it often requires more than one round, so the bills can stack up quickly (even with just paying insurance co-pays). The cost of Herbal Baby includes a three-month supply. So, you get three chances to increase your fertility $150. Plus, Herbal Baby is all natural and helpful for the body.…

Infertility is notably a woman’s issue ... But, interestingly, studies report nearly 30% of reported infertility cases to be caused by a factor usually associated with sperm production, sperm blockages, and/or sperm delivery. When a woman undergoes a fertility evaluation, her partner should do his part by having a semen analysis.  Needless to say, testing for a woman is more invasive than for a man. Consensus says, you should try to conceive once a day to every other day, optimally, around ovulation.  Too many times in one day can decrease the chances of successful conception due to low sperm count as the sperm may not have enough time to regenerate.  On the other hand,…

Answers to this question seem to vary from doctor to doctor.  However, the following is what I have gathered in my research and speaking with an OBGYN who specializes in infertility. If you are younger than 35 years old it seems to be normal to try on your own up to one year. If after a year you are unsuccessful conceiving then it may be time to start speaking with your OBGYN about fertility steps. If you are over 35 years old the average time to try on your own seems to be up to six months. With age as a factor for varying fertility reasons and concerns, it is not encouraged to wait…

Our bodies are comprised of roughly 60% water! What's more, a fetus, up to 32 weeks gestation, is more than 80% water and surrounded by an ocean of amniotic fluid!! Water is integral to the function of our: blood, lymph, digestive juices, urine, tears, and sweat. Water is minimally necessary for circulation, digestion, absorption, and elimination. Despite its importance, most people do not drink enough water. According to many sources, we should be drinking half of our body weight in ounces every day. So if you weigh 150 lbs, you should be drinking 75 ounces or 9 ½ glasses of water in an 8 oz glass. So what happens when the body is dehydrated?  Well, most…

Castor oil is a remarkable aid for women with fertility issues, cysts, endometriosis, painful menstruation, and/or history of miscarriage.  This is strictly for external use. You can buy castor oil individually or in a pack at Whole Foods or nearly any health food store. Directions may vary; however, this is how I was taught. Spread oil liberally on skin over pubic bone to below navel and from edges of pubic bone (roughly one side to the other side of your torso). Oil should be thick, but not so thick that it is dripping all over the place. Place the flannel material that comes in the pack over the oil. Cover that with plastic wrap so the…

It may sound odd, but Mini Trampolines are excellent for your health. While training with a Native American medicine man, I was introduced to the idea of using a trampoline for health, not just exercise. Using a trampoline offers several specific benefits; including aiding the lymphatic system, circulatory system, immune system, toning muscles, adding oxygen to the body, and so much more.
