This blog provides information and resources for healthier living, wellness and a number of health topics including specific medical conditions. It is also a resource for conditions commonly considered to be environmental illnesses including CFS, FM, PTSD, obesity, diabetes, insulin resistance, MCS, heart disease, and a number of other conditions that are potentiated by contaminants in the air, soil and water including autism, sick building syndrome and sickness behavior just to name a few. This blog will try to focus on less scientific and more real-world news and application.
