I’ve just greatly expanded our Herbal Tea section at the Shoppe to include a number of my favorites – here’s what I’ve added and why I like each of them, or how I use them: Smooth Move Chocolate Senna Tea (Laxative) Oh lord, this tea has saved my life on numerous occasions – until I [...]
Natural treatments for muscle, tendon and ligament pain do not involve masking the pain so you can carry on with your day as usual. As renowned chiropractor Dr. Ben Kim says: “Acetaminophen primarily decreases registration of pain in your brain. It doesn’t decrease inflammation outside of your central nervous system (brain and spinal cord). So [...]
Since many people with IBD and IBS suffer from internal or external hemorrhoids, finding an effective healing remedy for hemorrhoids has been at the top of my list – especially since I too developed internal hemorrhoids after the birth of my daughter! Those of you who have my Listen To Your Gut book know that [...]
Children are usually more susceptible to nosebleeds than adults. I’m not referring to a nosebleed caused by a sharp blow to the nose – we all know why those occur. I’m talking about nosebleeds that occur when you have not sustained any injury to your nose, or perhaps only a light blow or jostling. Or [...]
I don’t care whether you buy them from JPT Holistic Health Shoppe, or not, but you simply must try these moisturizing body lotions from AUBREY ORGANICS.

Friends of mine with three kids just put their house on the market. They are feeling the crunch financially and selling their house to downsize to a townhouse feels like the best option to them. My friend said, “I realize now (I believe it was God opening our eyes) that this really is our sideline [...]
It’s enough to make you crazy – as if we don’t have enough to worry about with GMO foods, pesticides, pollution, factory farming, industrial waste dumping and WiFi radiation – now we have to deal with nuclear radiation as well! Because, of course, we live in a global community where winds and oceans don’t just [...]
QUESTION: Please Help. About 2 months ago my colon constricted and tightened up and I couldn’t have a bowel movement. I have a home colonic kit and would do one everyday to get the waste out. This is the only way I could. I was on antibiotics for 12 years that destroyed my gut flora. From [...]
I have added a new line of awesome hair and skin products to LTYG Holistic Health Shoppe! Our old line (Avalon Organics) was bought out by Hain, and as often happens, the ingredient list started to downgrade. So I’ve been looking and testing (lucky me I have 5 guinea pigs in my family to test [...]
Ideally, you should get your digestive enzymes from your food (raw foods, fermented foods, homemade yoghurt, etc) and from your body’s own production. However, for those times when you just cannot get enough natural enzymes, or you need some additional support as your own body’s production is not up to par, I have found these [...]
If you have a loved one who wants to stick with medical treatment for Cancer, then here is a really good natural therapy that can be done at the same time, which increases the efficacy of the medical treatments AND decreases their nasty side-effects: (OMNS Apr 14, 2011) Scientists have long studied the effects of [...]
Shower filters protect your health by removing chlorine and other harmful elements from your shower water. These chemicals are more toxic in your shower than in your drinking water. Here’s why: Chlorine is re-vaporized in the shower, inhaled into the lungs, and transferred directly into the bloodstream. In fact, the chlorine exposure from one shower [...]
My good friend, Jay Baluk is putting together a free ebook about people’s success stories living medication-free with IBD. As Jay says: “This book is going to showcase the stories of 20-35 med-free people who are now living awesome, healthy, med-free lives. This book will go into details such as: what struggles they endured, what [...]
We’ve been experimenting with DMSO-based formulas over at JPT Wellness Circle for a couple of years now – you may have already seen my Quad-Synergy Pathogen Protocol on this blog. DMSO is dimethyl sulfoxide – a natural substance derived from tree bark. But it has some pretty amazing characteristics that make it a potent healing [...]
As the mother of three children – with thinner skulls, higher water content in their skulls (= higher conductivity) and undeveloped immune systems – it is very important to find out what levels of microwave RF radiation my kids are being exposed to, so that I can take measures to protect them where needed. So [...]
This to me is the most basic question: If European countries – who have examined the same research – set their safe exposure levels for microwave (RF) radiation at 0.1% -1% of ours – how can this be okay for us long-term and especially for our children?? COUNTRY EMR SAFETY LEVELS Austria – 0.10 microwatts/cm2 [...]
I DON’T KNOW ABOUT YOU, BUT I FIND THIS VERY ENCOURAGING! Corporate Crime Reporter 14, March 27, 2011 So far, there have been only a handful of lawsuits.

All I can say is Thank God Dr. Mercola (with his list of over 2 million) is informed and active on this whole WiFi, cellphone, electromagnetic, microwave radiation debacle!

After I told my Listen To Your Colon readers about adding magnesium citrate to an Absorb Plus or whey protein shake to buffer it, I received a number of emails from readers who tried it and confirmed that it worked well for them to reduce the pain and spasming that magnesium citrate can cause.

To keep yourself and your children healthy and maintain good bowel health on an ongoing basis, make the following dietary guidelines your normal, regular diet. Everyone in your family should follow these guidelines, whether they suffer from gut issues, or not, since they get the disease-causing elements out of your daily diet and replace them [...]
A low-residue diet can be helpful during an IBD or diverticulitis flare-up, to get rid of common irritants and to help calm the gut. This low-residue diet can also be used as a low-fibre diet (less than 10 grams of fibre per day) before or after surgery to reduce bowel volume. Of course, the best [...]
I had three friends call me up this week for help/advice about their kids’ digestive troubles. This signals to me that many others must be having the same issues and it’s time for a blog post to share the knowledge! First, my friend Cecile called me about her 10-year-old daughter, Megan. Megan had pretty much [...]
Intestinal obstructions can result from a number of different factors: Strictures or scar tissue that has built up to the point where the intestine is extremely narrowed, or a spasming length of intestine, or a volvulus (twist/kink in the intestine), or a diverticulitis flare-up. It is thought that mechanical blockage of a diverticulum, possibly by [...]
In my continuing quest for cavity-free dental health for my family, I have taken a second look at fluoride. Whilst knowing that fluoride hardens tooth enamel very effectively, we have stayed away from it because of the negative systemic effects (toxicity and fluorosis). As I took a second, more in-depth look at this mineral though, [...]
Five days after the birth of my third child, Hugo, I was diagnosed with seven different bacterial infections. No one could figure out why/how they occurred, but the most serious involved two bacterial infections in my blood (sepsis) and also a bacterial lung infection (pneumonia). As an aside: I know why they occurred – it [...]
____________________________________________________ IF THE AUTO INDUSTRY OPERATED LIKE A PHARMACEUTICAL FIRM… ____________________________________________________ This is a really fun (but at the same time sobering) article that highlights some of the problems with prescription drugs – use, manufacture, sale, price, etc. On the positive side, as with anything in our world (factory farming, cell phone towers, GMO foods, [...]
In the last year or so, I’ve received a few emails from people suggesting that Absorb Plus is not actually an elemental diet product. And that only products with free form amino acids as their protein source qualify as “elemental”. Back when I first formulated Absorb Plus (in 1998), whey protein isolate was considered one [...]

Following is a fantastic article showing that high dose vitamin C greatly improves the efficacy of antibiotics. Similarly, since Wild Oregano Oil is also an antibiotic, it too should be potentized if taken with high doses of vitamin C. Shortly after the birth of my third child, Hugo, I had to go to the hospital [...]

I just returned from pretty much back-to-back trips – one to Edmonton and the other to Los Angeles. In Edmonton, my cousins laughed at me for not having a cell phone. In L.A., not only does the airport have free WiFi, now the planes do as well! Although, if you’re 30,000 feet in the air, [...]
Those of you who are familiar with my protocols know that I often recommend and utilize plant-based foods for detox, healing and ongoing health.

Nanoparticle or angstrom-sized iron is especially exciting for people with gut disorders, since normal iron is quite irritating to the gut and can trigger intestinal bleeding and/or result in constipation. However, due to its extremely tiny particle size (smaller than DNA) angstrom iron does not need to be digested. It is instantly absorbed into the [...]
I don’t know if you’ve been getting nervous about the state of our earth, our climate, our population density, our food production, etc…. but I sure have! For a couple years now I’ve been researching alternative energy sources, gardening techniques and even going “off the grid”. Recently I watched this fabulous film made by a [...]

Those of you who have my Revised Listen To Your Gut book/program know about the controversy of MAP (Mycobacterium Avium Paratuberculosis) present in roughly 2% of the American milk supply (conventional, pasteurized milk).

The Minerals of Life Trace Minerals contain most of the minerals (64 in total) that used to be present in our soil, before industrial agriculture, mono-crops and widespread pesticide use degraded our soil. And they are all in a naturally-occurring, nanoparticle or angstrom sized form, for instant absorption into the cells, no digestion required. As [...]
Occasionally I get emails from people on welfare or in dire financial straits, who would really love to pursue holistic healing, but they just can’t afford the supplements. Or, sometimes people are using natural healing methods, but they find the cost of the healing supplements and practitioner visits eats up all their savings or extra [...]
An unpublished study by the World Health Organisation (WHO) on a “measles susceptible” (malnourished) group of children showed that the group who hadn’t been vaccinated contracted measles at the normal contract rate of 2.4%. Of the group who had received the measles vaccine (MMR), 33.5% contracted measles. (i) In 1975 Japan raised the minimum age [...]
Those of you who have Listen To Your Gut, know that I have been warning people not to use cell phones since 2005.
