To get off the insulin merry-go-round that keeps your body overweight and triglycerides elevated, you need to really understand the body’s preference for fat, not carbohydrates, for its fuel.

Pasture Fed Meats
Pastured animals are raised on grass, outside, eating natural forage. If it's a chicken, there's bugs, grass and more. If it's a cow, there's a variety of grasses, weeds and other forage. Any animal that eats the diet it was designed to eat (that includes Humans!) will be naturally healthier than one eating a diet designed by scientists and factories. Sick animals get that way because of what they are fed and how they are ... Keep Reading >

It calms us, relaxes muscle tension, helps us sleep and digest, and plays a role in coughs, vomiting, and diarrhea of unknown origin.

Natural Flea Control for Dogs or Cats
It's that time of year again when fleas begin to make their presence known. Natural flea control for dogs and cats is not hard and can work very well.

There are many other elements in poor quality pet food, but if corn (and ... Keep Reading >
