Healthy-Family Celebrates a Successful First Year Online

Healthy-Family is celebrating our very first birthday this month. On July 1, 2007 we went on line with our first post, Attention and Behavior Problems can be Alleviated with Good Food and Supplements. Since that time we have provided over 135 posts from six different authors about varying topics such as eco living, parenting, health and nutrition, crafts, technology, education, and allergies. Over 118,000 folks have viewed our site and we have been privileged to have nearly 30 individuals subscribe to us as well.

As recently as January we launched our allergy specific forum, which now has 22 members and includes many free recipes within its pages. We hope to expand both the website and the forum in our second year and have plans for many more articles in the future.

We launched the site after we spent a year trying to cure our son of a debilitating tic disorder and reoccurring gastrointestinal issues. What we learned in our research spawned a year’s worth of interest in food and the environment and made us take a long hard look at what we were putting on and into our bodies. The pages of this site tell the tale; they record the many things we have discovered along the way. Over time we forged friendships with other like minded folks who have also contributed their knowledge on nutrition and eco-friendly living.

Thanks to all those out there in cyberspace who have helped to make our free and easily accessible website an early success! We hope to be around for quite a long time.
