Advocate For Yourselves
Big Pharma
Medicating Normal Documentary
This is such an important documentary. I feel deeply for everyone who has gone through this, and for those who are aching as they work to get off of medication they should have never been on long-term (or at all in many cases) to begin with.
This is a topic I’m extremely passionate about, having watched people I know and love go through this, and also watched pharmacy clients decline as a result of polypharmacy, especially when it involves multiple psychiatric medications.
Mind, body, and spiritual health are intertwined.
Informed consent means being given all the pros and cons and then making a measured decision.
There is a time and a place for pharmaceuticals of course, but God didn’t design us to “require” medication to function long-term.
Way To Go Tennessee
Well done Tennessee! Praying it’s quickly signed by their Governor and that other states follow suit!
Got Acne? Don’t Get Cancer too!
Oooh boy.
Here we go again. I can’t count the number of times I used prescription and OTC products containing benzoyl peroxide (BPO) growing up in the 1980’s. Thankfully, I only had a spotty acne history (ha! accidental pun there ), but I had lots of friends and family members who relied on benzoyl peroxide to treat some pretty hardcore acne. Now, we find out that BPO can pretty easily turn into the carcinogen benzene under the right conditions (for example: BPO product sits in a hot transport container or a backpack or bag in a hot car and things go south pretty quick).

Clean up the toxin load, and interesting changes occur. I’m a blue-eyed blonde. I can be out in the sun all day and will not get burned… often not even get pink. That didn’t used to be the case. I used to get sunburned at least a few times a year in my much younger years. What changed?
The last 23 years of learning what toxins do to a body, and making some educated changes!
I wouldn’t be surprised if someone were to dig deeper, that this new BPO information wasn’t so new after all. “They” are quite good at hiding information for the sake of the $$.
If you’ve got kiddos in the acne era of their lives, avoid the benzoyl peroxide acne formulations. Young Living has a stellar acne spot treatment that zaps zits like a champ. No BPO…. just clean ingredients! Pair it up with the charcoal bar soap (or the mask you might have gotten as an order freebie a few months ago!), and you’ve got your dream team for your favorite teen (or maybe yourself….. tho if you have an adult acne, we should chat because root cause varies, and the skin is just a mirror to what is really going on inside. )

Know better. Do better. Live better.
