How to Clean Your House With Norwex (non-toxic cleaning)

When it comes to cleaning, I’ve noticed people tend to settle into two different camps. They love it or they hate it. They let it build up until they can’t stand it anymore (or they have guests over), OR they have a militant cleaning schedule and can’t do anything for the day until the cleaning is done. Learning how to clean your house with Norwex products brings a joy and simplicity to cleaning that I’ll talk about in this post. 🙂

Since we were both raised in a stricter cleaning environment, my husband and I tend to lean the other way- towards TIDY but “oh, there’s a pink mold ring in the toilet? Ok, I’ll get the toilet brush…” mentality.

We have always struggled with maintaining a cleaning schedule because with the little amount of downtime we have, we don’t want to spend it cleaning!

Until now. Cleaning is SO MUCH EASIER and FASTER and I love Norwex. 🙂

How Do I Share About Alternative Cancer Treatment?

If you’ve been studying alternative or holistic cancer treatment for any length of time, you may have pondered how you would introduce it to a friend who hasn’t yet considered it or doesn’t know of it as an option for healing.

It can be a bit nerve-racking to think of offering such controversial “unsolicited advice.”

But when your friend or family member is diagnosed with cancer, you KNOW what they are going to be told by their oncologist, and you want them to know other options. I know for me- it feels like if I didn’t, I would be doing them a great injustice!

If you have been following my blog or simply have been researching on your own about the business-side of the pharmaceutical cancer industry for a while, then you would know that the conventional recommendations for cancer are pretty standard and (for the most part) really tough on the body. There is a time and a place for conventional care, but a dietary and lifestyle change as a first step is reasonable and important.

So how do you talk with them about dietary and lifestyle changes prior to beginning treatment? And how do you bring it up without getting push back or feeling like you’re overstepping boundaries?

Pros and Cons of the Berkey Water Filter System – Complete Review

berkey water filter review

Welcome to my much overdue post on the pros and cons of the Berkey Water Filter system! My family’s journey into better health has been a long one, beginning with my cancer diagnosis in 2008 and our decision to address it using nontoxic methods. Back then we purchased an alkaline water system and wondered for years if it was something we could let go of. When it stopped working back in 2016, we knew we needed to finally do our research on the Berkey and make a decision on which water system would be best for us moving forward. After much debate we ended up choosing to buy a Berkey water filter system and this post discusses why. 🙂

Fundraising Ideas For Cancer Treatment (Review of Freely Funded)

This is my super honest, experiential review of Freely Funded: The Debt-Free Healing Strategy. These have to be some of the best fundraising ideas for cancer treatment. Not often do I get to be a part of the inner workings of such a great project as this, but my husband Kevin and I got to be around from the start. And you know I love stories, so let me tell you how. 🙂

We chose to be a part of this project because over the past 10 years since my cancer diagnosis I have met many MANY people whose #1 obstacle to healing was their ability to pay for the treatment they wanted. The need for this program is IMMENSE!

In this review, I will talk about the origins or Freely Funded, my thoughts as I watched and completed each module, and the pros and cons of purchasing a course like this.

Starting Your Own Container Garden- It’s Not As Hard as You Think!

If I can do it, there is definitely potential for anyone starting your own container garden!

You see, when I originally wrote this post I lived in a 1,000 square foot apartment in Atlanta. You wouldn’t think I would have much potential for gardening, but one look at this picture and you can see my mini-vegetable jungle in full bloom!

Several years ago I began my gardening adventures with a single plant. A tomato plant. At least that’s what I thought until it began to grow cucumbers. True story.

For the first THREE weeks I thought maybe tomatoes were elongated and green in their infancy. Nope, only if they are cucumbers! 😂

Online Groups for Alternative and Holistic Cancer Support

Cancer_Connection

Searching for online alternative cancer support? I’ve learned that it’s  pretty normal to feel alone when you choose to treat your cancer naturally. It comes with the territory. 🙂

You eventually get used to it- feeling a bit like an outcast amongst even your closest loved ones. But it’s our doctors and medical team that can be the most discouraging since our choice is one that goes against mainstream belief about cancer treatment. A community of cancer “thrivers” who are coming from a similar place as you are would be amazing, right? Thankfully nowadays this is totally a reality.

Review of Chris Wark’s Square One Healing Cancer Coaching Program

 

So, Chris Wark’s Square One Healing Cancer Coaching Program is BEAUTIFUL. Inspiring, incredibly well put together, covers everything you need to know about choosing a natural healing path or support for cancer. FULL OF HOPE.

The nutritional, spiritual, practical. EVERYTHING.

At times I found myself emotional when watching it. I am SO GRATEFUL for it! I wish it would have existed when I began my path to heal naturally from cancer in 2008. It would have saved both my husband and I so much doubt about our given path (and not to mention the research time and overwhelm!)

I can’t imagine anyone who couldn’t benefit from SOMETHING in it.

The unique thing about Chris’s program is that it is experienced coaching from a SURVIVOR, someone who has lived the anti-cancer lifestyle for over 13 years. Chris beat his Stage III colon cancer without chemo or radiation in 2004.

To give you an idea of what is in the program, here is a:

20 Questions For Your Oncologist (A Must Have For Those Diagnosed With Cancer!)

My friend and fellow holistic cancer survivor, Chris Wark has created what I wish I would have had after my diagnosis, a FREE guide giving you the MOST IMPORTANT questions to ask your oncologist:

 20 Questions For Your Oncologist

 

It’s unsettling to know that 1 in 2 men and 1 in 3 women will get a cancer diagnosis in their lifetime. That’s CRAZY when you think about it. For me I think about my two sisters and me. ONE of the three of us got cancer. I’m so grateful that me getting cancer (and healing it naturally) prompted them to drastically change their diet and lifestyle.
