I am terrified to write this however I feel very strongly compelled to do so.

A dear friend of mine shared with me some valuable wisdom that has made me stop and think. This wisdom has jolted me and I now feel compelled to totally lay all my cards on the table, in the full knowledge that I may lose readers and respect as a result.

Without the optimal level of nutrients that were available in our foods 100 – 200 years ago, we are not receiving enough nutrition to maintain health. You can learn more about this on my blog post here.

Whether we like it or not there is fluoride in our drinking water – we never had much choice in the matter, until now.

There are other water options available now which do not contain fluoride additives, including rain water, some spring waters and Nobles Pureau Pure Water – which we absolutely LOVE. It tastes like rain :-)

My blood hound researchers nose was once again tweaked recently. This time it was in relation to silicone products.

I used to take everything I was told at face value. After years of being mislead and it affecting my health and sanity, I now like to check everything myself - against credible sources like scientific reports, studies, clinical trials and production processes.

When I started to check out silicone, I wasn't at all happy with what I learnt.
