It's perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and it remains indefinitely in the environment and even gets stuck in your body. PFOA is a toxicant and known carcinogen that has been detected in the blood of more than 98% of the US population. Exposure to this chemical has been associated with increased cholesterol, uric acid levels, preeclampsia, heart disease, liver damage, thyroid trouble, neurological disorders, chronic kidney disease and kidney cancer.'

Using Traditional Skills

'Most people these days are far removed from the traditional lifestyle. Families haven’t lived on homesteads for several generations. Many of those historically important traditional skills have been nearly lost in today’s world of constant entertainment and disposable everything.


Many parents didn’t learn these skills growing up and are unable to pass them down to the next generation, even if the next generation was interested.


Traditional Skills
Earlier this year, Laura recognized this problem in our local community. Even though we live in a rural part of the country where many people still work with their hands, modern conveniences permeate our lives. The skills of our grandparents have been replaced by store bought items and technology.


So, Laura has taken it upon herself to organize a Traditional Skills gathering twice a month. During the meeting, anyone interested has a chance to get hands-on experience with a skill that has all but faded away from modern society. They come and learn from someone who knows how to do it and is willing to share that knowledge with others.'

Google any health condition and you're bound to come across products and procedures that fit into this mold. Have joint pain? Take glucosamine chondroiton. Have chronic acne? Take high doses of vitamin A. 

 Want to lose weight and have rock-hard abs? Obey the golden rule to a flat stomach (for 39.95).
