Izaak in Rome, overjoyed after finding some gluten-free pasta! (For more information about homeopathy, please visit www.impossiblecure.com) Even though I am the author of Impossible Cure, I'm still a "Nervous Nelly" when it comes to my kids' health. When my older son Izaak finished his Master's degree a couple of years ago, he went on an exciting four-month trip around the world before beginning work. While traveling in India,... read more
Most of you know me as someone who writes a lot about the wonders of homeopathy. But homeopathy isn't just about using remedies to heal -- it's also about staying healthy in the first place. As Dr. Samuel Hahnemann (the developer of homeopathy in the 1800s) said, one must remove "maintaining causes" -- eating and living habits that lead to ill-health. There are also a variety of natural means for restoring health that don't involve the use of remedies. These can be handy if you are on a good constitutional remedy and don't want to interrupt its action with the use of... read more
by Amy L. Lansky, PhD (For more information about homeopathy, please visit www.impossiblecure.com) One argument in favor of the true healing power of homeopathy -- one that I've never heard countered by the skeptics -- is the success of homeopathic remedies in treating animals. Even the Queen of England likes to treat her pet Corgis with homeopathy! I'll never forget one of my own amazing pet cures. Just days before embarking on a month-long trip, I noticed my dog Shadow had a growth on her front lower leg. I took her to the vet, hoping it was just an... read more
Despite working hard to provide the very best for our children, many parents feel like failures when they find that their little ones have cavities. For some of us, one or more of our children are plagued with unhealthy teeth and we are left wondering "Why is this happening to my child?" The stigma surrounding "bad teeth" and concern about the child's mental and physical well being is a huge source of stress for parents facing this issue. To further complicate matters, modern dental care can be expensive and frightening--especially for very... read more

My family moved from Seattle to Las Vegas this past summer and the change in climate, especially the drastic difference in the air, has taken a toll on the skin of my youngest two kiddos. Dry air was almost non-existent in WA, but Vegas, well I don’t think you can find air any drier! Plus, now that it’s winter and we’re running the heater on a daily basis, it seems to be even worse. So, what’s this herbal loving Mama to do? Make bath-time, skin-healing time of course! Not only can an herbal bath be healing to the skin, but it is also... read more
By Brian Leaf If you're into yoga (or soft porn) you may have seen the Equinox Fitness YouTube videos of Briohny Smyth practicing yoga postures in her lingerie. Since the release of the first video in December of 2011, these clips have generated lots of controversy … and page views, at times garnering 500,000 views a day. Some contend that the clips are art in motion and a testament to human potential. Others feel that the videos objectify women and use sex to sell yoga and the Equinox brand. I think I agree with this second camp. If nothing else, I... read more
How often do you hold a cellphone to your ear, use a Bluetooth headset, or sit at a computer? How often do you do none of those things and instead just go about simple activities — but do so in a home or office or coffeehouse equipped with wireless? And are EFT effects on your mind? The questions are rhetorical. Of course most of us do those things, a lot. And as we do, we are participating in an ongoing experiment about EMF (electromagnetic field) effects on human health and functioning. The data is far from all in, and what is in is far from encouraging.... read more
I started looking into homeopathy years ago because I didn’t like not understanding health and how the body works. I felt uncomfortable that I had to rely on doctors for every little strange pain, burn, or bonk. After studying homeopathy and working with lots of families, I realized that others felt similarly, they also wanted to be empowered to understand homeopathy, and to use it for themselves and their families at home. What a gift it is to be educated in natural healing and to use first-aid remedies with confidence. When you learn a little bit... read more
