If you have not yet swam in the ocean or the sea, you must get there as soon as possible. The sheer awesome power of the sea that commands respect, coupled with the serenity it provides with the background sounds, horizons of beauty, sounds unique to its own self, and unknown to most until you immersed yourself in her waters, healing. Seawater has been known to resolve skin conditions, speed up healing of cuts and bruises, and restore ones health to a general state of well-being.
This brand of sea salt is what we use at home to cook with and also use for home remedies. We also use Celtic salt. You may see a brand that literally looks like it has dirt in the bag. That is the part of "vitamins and minerals" we have all heard that we need. It is usually moist, almost wet.
In the video posted here the lovely Andrea shows us "DIY", or Do It Yourself techniques to use to bring the ocean to the comfort of your home using sea salt and good water to gain the benefits of skin and health care naturally. Many women from around the world have used these techniques to resolve many skin issues such as acne, pimples, zits, blackheads, and more.
There are way too many people who have made a trip to the doctors, who have told them to stay away from salt, and they do not understand the subtlety of those comments. The typical "table salt" you buy at the store, is not truly "salt". It is sodium and chloride heated to around 1,200 degrees and it binds and looks and tastes just like salt, but technically is not. That is the product your doctor is warning you about. Our bodies NEED salt to conduct necessary functions, provide electrolytes, and more.
We are so used to this great flavor it provides, which tastes far superior than table "salt". We use it when we go out to eat. So whether you take sea salt internally or use it externally you will benefit from one of natures great secrets to help your body perform at its best. You will look and feel great by making this small change in your life. Make sure you watch the video with all the various remedy solutions. Let me know if any men are willing to do this too, it begs the question. At least you can eat your steak with new enhanced flavor. Dr. Mike

If your house is burning down, and you can only grab one item.....
Which is most important to you, money or memories.
There can be only one answer. If you have 120 seconds to get out of your house and cannot go back in as it is on fire, what do you grab? Let's say you have five thousand in cash, precious jewelry either you bought, or was handed down as a family heirloom, valued art, and lots of photos of kids and family.
For years I have told people when it is time for my wife's birthday or any occasion where she might receive a gift, just get her a decent photo album and she will be thrilled. We have a huge piece of furniture that is filled with many albums, and she hasn't even used half of her pictures of our girls. (And us too, but many of the girls)
I know for a fact that having those valuables mentioned and more that were listed my wife would easily grab the photos of the girls and hopefully she would get out with plenty and not get burned. She would simply look at me and suggest I get busy replacing the valuables right away as our memories of the past with our family and those kids are both precious and priceless, and irreplaceable.
I watched a video on YouTube that turned out to be an advertisement for Google chrome; at least I think it was. This was about a man who started taking pictures of his girl from birth to by the time they had a second child and photographed great interaction between the two and of course, their own personal precious and priceless moments, that went by very quickly. He had a look of being very justified in taking all the photos. I feel in this case, technology definitely got this one right.
While I am not a huge fan of "home movies", this video piece was compelling and of course, thus "begged the question". Do you keep photo albums of your kids and family? Do you make home movies of priceless moments? One thing is for sure, most of us do not value money as a top priority. All of us value family, friends, health, money, spirituality, work, and our minds in different orders of least to most importance. Since money is one of seven values, mathematically it stands to be a lower value for most. Time, is the one "commodity" that is non-renewable and a super high value relative to our life and short time here.
As I look back at my family and our adventures I can see much in my mind still. The photos take our memories into greater detail and invoke tremendous feelings within ourselves and allow us to relive those moments over and over. In the end, my gratitude goes out to engineers and scientists and all those smart inventor developer type persons who show, sometime, technology does still get it right.

Dr. Bronner's All-One-God-Faith. Organic Natural Soap Gave Me Instant Dandruff Relief
Immediate Natural Organic relief from Dandruff and more.
As a young man in my twenties and single, with a decent head of hair, came a challenge one day. I was trying to look good and was willing to pay the price of styling with a popular gel brand. I do not know if I used too much, mixed it with something that should not be mixed or what. One day my scalp reacted horribly to the use of this product from a down under company. I was horrified that my whole head was scabbed over.
In the ensuing months I started to notice that when wearing a dark shirt there were white flakes that balanced both sides. This had never happened before and was both shocking and embarrassing. After using a dandruff shampoo that had "active ingredients" with warnings and hefty price tag for purchase, I almost found relief. This soap was labeled medicated and not meant to be used regularly. Relief was temporary, and with an unknown price to be paid.
What was a guy to do? I surrendered to a skin reaction to a products use that resulted in a flaky skin. At least my head was not scabbed anymore. The advent of the Internet brought occasional searches when time was available or the thought occurred about possible natural relief. After trying a couple alleged remedies involving various oils, citrus, and vinegar with no sustainable results, I gave up and resigned to my condition.
For years we have not only been organic, gluten free, dairy free, and living a natural lifestyle with our own raised meats and sometimes vegetables, we were not unaccustomed to healthy living. My wife swore about this large bottle of soap she insisted she had to have. This soap was interesting to me in that its label was full of something. The writing was all over and sized with several different font sizes from readable, down to very small and for my eyes, unreadable.
The aromatic smell of the 18-1 peppermint Pure Castile soap was nice. I used it when we ran out of soap and was always left with a nice tingly feeling after use. Since we frequent health food stores I was used to seeing this brand of soap in stores often now over the years. One day I took the Internet, and used its massive resources of instant information to discover this soap has an amazing family and ultimately world history. Its founder was a most unique character who stood for peace, unity, and a world that had love in abundance.
So even after its use on my body and not thinking yet it may serve my head, I ran out of shampoo and used Dr. Bronner's soap on my head with wonderful results. Refreshed and smelling good with a clean palate, I noticed the change. No more flakes. Since using this required so very little, the large bottle would last me for quite some time. Of course I thought how lucky I am to have such a smart wife. Now if I could only listen to her and follow her wisdom more often.
"Saponifying" oil and fat into soap is one of the oldest and simplest chemical reactions known to humankind. In fact, the first soaps were accidentally made by fat dripping into the ashes of cooking fires. Dr. Bronner's unsurpassed soaps are made with certified organic olive, hemp and palm oils instead of tallow, and contain three times more organic coconut oil than commercial soaps. There are no animal fats or petrochemicals whatsoever in this product.
I have since learned that this health care products industry is not regulated like the food industry is with standards and regulation regarding the terms natural and organic. Many companies label themselves both natural and organic yet test positively for petrochemicals. Unlike many Americans I do not feel the need to shower every day. Working from home and living in the mountains in a dry climate helps. My wife baths not only daily, sometimes more. The gentleness from this soap agrees with the whole family.
After celebrating my literacy at Dr. Bronnner's website I now know quite a bit about soap making and its intricacies. Value is important to me, and would pay more for a quality product that provides a much needed solution to my life, dandruff relief. The cost was not more than I am paying for regular organic shampoos already. If you feel the price tag is higher than you would have paid for your previous products, you must know that this product will likely outlast anything else and cost per use is quite low. I have never seen coupons or discounts for Dr. Bronner's soap, but that does not mean they do not exist.
His label says you will stimulate your body, and this will be the mildest and most pleasant soap you have ever used, or your money back-guaranteed.
Dr. Bronner's label has as much fame as his wonderful products and was a unique advocate for both peace and unity worldwide. His label declares this statement wonderfully: We are all brothers and sisters and we should take care of each other and spaceship earth!
