Animal Foods are Not the Answer

by Leisa on December 15, 2010

This is a great article I found on the Veritas Magazine site – and I relate to a lot of what it has to say. Many people ask about whether they can be really healthy on a vegan diet, and it is always about what the person is eating, rather than whether they are vegan, raw

by Leisa on December 2, 2010

Thyroid problems are an area that I have studied in depth, having suffered myself with hypothyroidism, and been subjected to the incompetence of several medical practitioners before I found the answers myself.  Since then, I’ve found thyroid issues are one of the most mis-understood and mis-diagnosed conditions today.

I am a huge fan of Neale Donald Walsch – the author of the Conversation With God series – and I love the questions he asks to provoke deeper thought about our lives. This one came through in an e-mail, and I wanted to share it here: “On this day of your life, dear friend,

Even though I don’t buy into the whole gimmicky, hyped “Law of Attraction” philosophy – (I don’t personally believe that we are totally omnipotent – I believe we have a great influence over our lives, but I also believe that there are factors beyond our control, stemming from universal consciousness that may have an impact on us),

Intensive care specialists were all set to pull him off life support, saying there was no hope. But his family refused to give up.
