2 Years on GAPS part 3 continued

Yesterday I published the first part of my younger daughters GAPS story. You can read it here. 2 Years on GAPS Part 3 I realized as I was writing it that it was just too long for one blog post so here is the second half of it.

Isn’t she beautiful? Not that I’m a [...]

2 years on GAPS: Part 3

I am doing a series of blog posts on our first 2 years on GAPS. There is one for each of us. This is part 3. It is the story of my youngest. She was our impetus for starting GAPS when we did but since her story is more complicated I have saved it till [...]

Have you visited a Salt Room?

Have you heard of Halotherapy? What about a Salt room? No? I hadn’t either until this summer. It just so happens that I am a very lucky American to have a Salt room in my vicinity. There are more opening up all the time so you just might be too. I have tried to find [...]

GAPS Cookbooks

I am often asked what cookbooks I use for making my GAPS foods. I do have a few grain free cookbooks but most of the books I reach for time and again are not specifically GAPS books but instead they just have good recipes that I modify as needed.

Lyme Disease is caused by the bacterum Borrelia. There are 3 [...]

Essential Oils: Tea Tree Oil

Tea Tree Oil

This essential oil does it all. It is like a medicine chest in one bottle. Many years ago I sold Melaleuca Products and at that time I learned about the amazing properties of this essential oil. It is amazing enough that an entire company was built up around it’s use! I [...]

US Wellness Meats had a special on chicken wings recently so when I was placing my order our staple, pemican, I ordered some wings too. I wasn’t sure what to do with them but I knew that they would be popular with my kids. Wings can be fun to eat and since we get whole [...]

We became very close doing that. We would stay in peoples homes and sometimes the accommodations were better than others. One time [...]
