Health Freedom Expo 2009 - Chicago

Support healthy lifestyles, enhance good nutrition, and encourage Americans to make daily, sensible life-choices - that’s the mission of the Fifth Annual Chicago Health Freedom Expo (June 12-14, 2009) - a premier natural health event.

As their web site states:

It’s economics, really. The more natural health products people use, the fewer drugs they buy. The pharmaceutical industry is taking steps to slow the shift toward natural healthcare. With the support of the medical establishment, Big Pharma is striving to gain monopolistic control over the use of drugs and make them the only measure available to treat illness.

The Health Freedom Expo is a dynamic three-day event featuring the most prominent keynote speakers (Nicholas Perricone, Chef Alex Jamieson, Joseph Mercola to name a few) …read the rest of this entry »

Gluten-free Corn-free

Are you Chronically Sick?  Many folks who find themselves practicing a gluten free diet wind up on that road for a variety of reasons. You may have tested positive for gluten intolerance, may have found out you suffer from Celiac disease, and may have even been diagnosed with candida overgrowth. If you are struggling and finding that the gluten free diet is not helping you regain your health it is quite possible you need to eliminate additional grains from your diet.

I recently attended the Conference on Natural Treatments for Tics, OCD, Tourette Syndrome, and Depression last weekend in Dallas. I heard Doug Kaufmann speak at length about mycotoxins and their negative effect on the body. The author of eight books on fungi and host of the syndicated television show, “Know the Cause”, he claims that these toxins are capable of causing various health problems and need to be addressed before folks with chronic illness can become well again. …read the rest of this entry »

eggplantparmesan

I was rummaging through the pantry trying to figure out what to make for dinner last night. I had a little over an hour and few ingredients– eggplant, a box of gluten-free lasagna noodles, a jar of sauce, a container of cottage cheese.

I contemplated making lasagna but without my usual ingredient listing I decided to pass, instead opting to try Eggplant Parmesan for a change.

This was my first attempt at making Eggplant Parmesan, period, never mind trying to alter it to make it gluten free. The dish turned out to be a favorite with everyone, and the kids especially loved the battered, fried eggplant. I decided to officially add it to the list. It takes a bit of time to make but is well worth the effort. …read the rest of this entry »
