Getting Out of Touch
I am purifying my life and limiting things such as sitting, talking, eating, people, places, plans, news, noise, negativity, driving and drama.
How Do You Deal?
Everyday life can be traumatizing. With social media and its 24-hour news cycle, I have realized the importance of recognizing this. And trying to deal. As I explained in my last post, I’ve dealt with past government, relationship and health care trauma by writing memoirs. The look back has led to other important realizations too,…
Getting It Off My Chest
“We all have stories–ongoing and ever-changing–that we tell ourselves to make sense of our lives. They can help us heal and powerfully guide us through life, or just as powerfully, hold us back,” Judith Fertig
Airing now, on Local TV
My latest Live Unconventionally TV episode, recorded in Florida, has aired. I interviewed Dr. Lisa Maharajh, an Acupuncture Physician, and we chatted about the healing benefits of nature and so much more! If you missed the show or previous episodes, all you need is an internet connection! You can go to the Video on Demand…
Health Care, Really?
Despite the misery of most Americans, one piece of news this week was in my favor, regarding health care. While I empathize with those who are hurting, I myself am without health insurance intentionally. I believe health is our own responsibility (with exceptions of course) and that health plans are unique to each individual. (My…
Digging deep
I was like a kid in the sandbox. On my hands and knees pulling any crab-grassy, thorny, prickly growths from my new garden beds and pathways. Despite my appreciation for the beauty of some weeds and respect for their purposes, it felt so good to remove things that had the potential to hurt me during…
Keep Christ in Cannabis
Many keys to healing were mentioned in the Bible. My own health plan prioritizes essential oils of frankincense and myrrh, which were brought to Jesus at birth and used in his healing practices, for example. But today I want to talk about another important piece of my health plan, something else that was in the…
Cannabis and Kids, it’s No Fairytale
But it has a happy ending. The medicinal plant is saving thousands of lives, and harming none. In fact. There are many side benefits… Here’s my latest article for Green Flower Media.
My Favorite Cleanse: Yes, You Can Eat
It seems there are lots of misconceptions about cleansing. Well, there are many types. My Favorite? Isagenix 9-Day full body nutritional cleanse Just 2 cleanse days, 5 shake days, 2 cleanse days… That’s the basics of the 9-day program from Isagenix. On “cleanse days” you drink a fruity cleanse beverage a few times a day, which…
Cannabis Please for Parkinson’s Disease
I wrote this article last week for Green Flower Media, but mostly I wrote it for my mother. She suffers from the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease. The article also links to a story I wrote about my own journey toward the medicinal weed for breast cancer. https://www.learngreenflower.com/articles/331/cannabis-please-for-parkinson-s-disease Decades of negative stigma and false information about the…

Cannabis, Living Where It Is Legal Medicine
I am both elated and infuriated by the research pouring in about the benefits of the cannabis plant. It is helping so many people of all ages and conditions, and I see it first hand now at the dispensary I have been frequenting on my own health journey. It is such a crime that a…
Don’t Race or Ribbon for Me
It’s that time of year again, I am starting to see the races that support hospitals and pharmaceutical companies disguised as events to benefit those diagnosed with breast cancer. My latest invite…one I thought could actually benefit me this time, was a retreat for “survivors” with tai chi, crystals and essential oils. I was excited. I then read on…
Summer on Fire Island: My Health Plan
On a car-less summer island, I travel barefoot to neighboring communities on the beach or sandy back roads, to explore, visit with friends, listen to music, or work, for the Fire Island News. How blessed am I?!
Back in NY for Medical Marijuana
As it became legalized in other states, and more research became available, I began to write about the amazing benefits of marijuana, including how the herb was shrinking cancerous tumors and killing cancer cells without affecting healthy cells, yet it was illegal for me to try it!
Just ONE thing
I was back in New York for the holidays, reminiscing with family over vintage photos and Christmas Cream, a decadent adult treat bottled and gifted annually by family friends, when I recalled a conversation I had earlier with my niece about chia seeds. “That’s my one thing I do to prevent cancer,” she said. I…
The Marijuana Plant Saved Charlotte, and Many Others
An excerpt from an article I wrote for the Institute for Natural Healing… Five-year old Charlotte Figi had a genetic disorder called Dravet syndrome, she had hundreds of seizures a week. That was three years ago. Charlotte’s parents began a hospice program because she was starving to death. Their daughter was barely able to swallow water. Faced…
Don’t Believe Me…Just Watch
Suck it poison pushers! My body is healing itself. I have declined conventional methods of treatment, I am supporting my body in its quest to balance and repair itself, and it is working. For my followers and family who want updates on the diagnostic facts: In August, the largest area of concern measured approximately 6.6 cm…
What Would Hippocrates Do?
“Women don’t talk back enough,” said Brian Clement PhD, LN, referring to their patient/doctor relationships. “Women who did,” he said, “started Hippocrates.” The esteemed co-director of the Hippocrates Health Institute in West Palm Beach, Florida was the guest speaker at a holistic health fair in Tampa a few months back, and I was there, with my pen in hand…
Cleaning Out Unnecessary Files and Toxic Emotions
“Are you sure you want to remove the remnants of no-longer-used programs and files?” my computer security and cleanup system asked. Immediately, I said “yes” feeling like it was perfectly in line with what has been happening within me lately…emotionally, physically, and spiritually. For those who may be unfamiliar, “Cache” [pronounced ‘cash’] is a reserved…
My Coffee? I’ll Take It Rectally
Hey, we all need to lighten up a little…and I can’t avoid dishing on the procedure that dumps toxins from our bodies like nothing else can. Think it is a disgusting subject? Well how about keeping years of parasites, bacteria, yeast colonies, toxic metals, rotting food, and hardened white flour stuck to your colon walls? Not…
Defying Doctor Bullying: My Last Successful Trial
Now that doctors have been trying to scare and bully me into poisonous and life threatening “cures,” I am recalling how the cat situation worked out.
Rewind to Oct 2012: My Published Rant
I was just reviewing my blog pages and came across an editorial I wrote in The East Hampton Star almost two years ago, after I survived breast cancer awareness month (and the Hamptons International Film Festival.) I thought it was worthy of a re-post given my current situation. Regular updates to my thoughts and actions on the…
My Emotional Health Plan: Not a “Battle”
“You are not required to battle, but simply to advocate for yourself, speak your truth, and pay as much attention to your own concerns as you give to others…” These words were written on a strip of loose leaf paper and hanging on my refrigerator, fading in the Florida sunlight. They were written for me…
