fortgenaforteoinjectionConsidering taking Forteo to fight osteoporosis?  Think again!  According to SaveOurBones.com, the potential side effects are worth considering.  You can read the details in Vivian Goldschmidt’s article, “The Forteo Mystery: What You Should Know About This Puzzling Drug,” by clicking on this link:

bronchitis_basicsI caught a bothersome upper respiratory infection last week, which has lasted for 10 days now.  It’s been  so long since I’ve gotten sick beyond the occasional two- or three-day cold, that I’ve resorted to researching what sort of natural remedies are available to me.  Although I’ve been taking Propolis, which usually nips an on-coming cold in the bud,  it hasn’t done the trick this time.  Past the sore throat, the infected ears, and the clogged sinuses, I’m now at the coughing up phlegm stage, which seems to be going on and on and on.

Thankfully, I came across this article today on how to get rid of phlegm:

I will follow its natural recommendations to take goldenseal and to breathe steam containing two or three of drop of eucalyptus oil and let you know if it works.

vivian-aboutHere’s an excellent, thought-provoking article by Vivian Goldschmidt, MA, of SaveOurBones.com, pinpointing the dangerous, hidden food ingredients in foods that “seem” healthy.   Goldschmidt notes, “You probably already know this, but the rule of thumb is that the best foods to conquer osteoporosis and to stay healthy are unprocessed natural foods. That’s because man-made chemicals acidify your body pH which in turn accelerates bone loss.”

glass-of-waterGood question! I’ve read the debate both ways. Here’s what I decided to do: I drink a cup (8 oz.) of water with each meal, as well as a cup of water when I get up and between meals, so that I get enough water throughout the day.

You can add a twist of lemon or lime to alkalize your water for greater bone health!
