Mon chum doit tout répéter, et je me nourrie de bouffe en purée car ma machôire me fait souffrir là ou elle rejoint mes oreilles. Bref, je ne vous entiendrai pas plus longtemps sur cette douleur, car ce qui m’intéresse, ce sont vos remèdes et solutions à tout nos petits maux communs.

Je suis partisanne des traiments dits naturels, entre autre les méthodes qui peuvent nous éviter l’usage d’antibiotiques qui ont le sait maintenant, sont pour la pluspart nocifs pour notre santé à long terme. Mais je dois vous avouer aujourd’hui mon sentiment d’impuissance face à ma capacité à trouver le bon remède naturel, au bon moment. J’aimerais pouvoir me soigner sainement, sans avoir à faire un BAC hors campus en médecines alternatives, ce qui veut dire, devoir me former moi même sur toutes les alternatives existantes – herboristerie, homeopathie, osteopathie, chiroprathie, etc – pour savoir quoi faire, ou qui aller voir, quand un malaise survient.

Donc, mal d’oreille, je vais voir lequel de ces spécialistes? J’ouvre lequel des nombreux ouvrages existants? J’ai passé des heures sur internet, à fouiller tout les remèdes possibles, et en ai essayé quelques uns – mais dans la panique et la douleure, j’ai du me traîner chez le médecin traditionnel pour me faire traiter.

Voilà donc : je cherche de bonnes références, livres etc, pour soulager les maux courants de manière naturelle, si vous en avez à partager.

J’aimerais aussi savoir à quel spécialistes vous faite appel lorsqu’un malaise surviens. Chiro, osthéo, homéopathe?

Est-ce que la solution serait des médecins ‘traditionnels’ plus ouverts aux méthodes non traditionnelles? disons par exemple, des médecins qui utilisent différentes médecines dites ‘alternatives’ dans leurs traitements?

N.B: ressource qui explique le traitement d’otite pour les petits, et je dois dire que pour moi, ca m’a soulagé de beaucoup des crises en pleine nuit. Aussi à essayer, la méthode Salmanoff!

All eyes are on Canada as it prepares to host the 2010 Winter Olympics. This extra attention will bring increased scrutiny and comes with the added responsibility of setting a positive example for the world. That’s why we are calling on the Vancouver Olympic Organizing Committee to help stop the Canadian seal slaughter.

Prenez le temps de faire le tour, vous remarquerez rapidement que cette industrie n’a guère à faire de votre santé mais bien de vos dollars…

But since a while scientists around the world are researching to produce meat in the laboratory without killing animals. It’s called in-vitro meat production which uses a medium to grow meat. I guess it’s similar to growing plants. But you can imagine that the meat industry is not very thrilled by that idea and won’t support research in that field. That’s the reason why PETA (= People for the ethical treatment of animals) stepped in and are offering a 1$ million reward to the first scientists to produce and bring in-vitro meat to the market.

More info to that reward can be found on the web site of PETA.

I don’t know exactly what to think about it. On the one hand it sounds like a plausible and great idea, but on the other hand I don’t if we – as human beings – are going too far in that point: is an in-vitro grown meat alive? Does it hurt someone? I think these are ethical questions, but killing 40 billion animals… that’s definitely not ok either.

By the way I became a vegetarian because I cannot support the meat industry anymore. And I don’t even miss real meat because there are excellent tofu products available which mimic meat just perfectly.

“Change doesn’t happen because of how we invest our money. Change happens because of how we invest our human energy, and it always has since we came down from the trees.

Everyone’s got a margin of discretionary energy — ten percent, twenty percent — that isn’t used up making their way in the world. That’s the energy that’s available for social change.”

Daniel Taylor of Future Generation. Via.

How do you use your energy, and how much do you have left to help us move on to a next, more sustaining level?

Managing energy is one of the most important thing in our current times – we must each day, more and more, consciously choose to whom and how we’ll share this precious resource, our energy, which was for years sucked out without us noticing.

Managing energy means to carefully select our activities, manage our time, our health, our creativity. As a freelance or full time worker, it is a question we’re all facing: how much money are worth your hours? How much money is worth your energy? Your health and well being? Are all these hours worked really worth? Is there not a more creative and healthy way to spend your time and energy?

Among the most common time and energy sucking activities are an employer needing you more than 35 hours per week, friends or family meetings leaving you empty, shopping in a quest to find something that will fill the emptiness, over cleaning the house every week inside and outside, and tv watching.

All this precious time could be used in a creative way, to make small and big changes.

As i wrote some days ago, our present culture does not emphasize free and quiet time. Instead, we are pushed to fill the agenda until there is not a minute left to be alone in silence, or to have some time to think and take new actions, on a personal or community level, towards a brighter future. Having a lot of free time might be seen as not usual, wrong, as if someone would be out of a system, not worthy, slacking and even depressed.

You must ask yourself, who is ruling your life?

Become your own authority, be more aware of where and how you want to spend your energy, your health, and your time. We’ll all have to make choices, what will yours be?

I’ve been writing some weeks ago about my researches to find the best of green clothing for kids. Here are some newly found items among the cutest and most inspiring ones, some i wish could also be wore by adults!

The items which can be bought on Etsy are created with love and care by 2 obviously talented stay-at-home-moms :

Damestarbaby are created by two stay-at-home moms who miraculously find time to sew and knit and dream up ever more stylish kid’s clothes. Our shirts feature original paintings and appliques. The printing was done with earth-loving inks in a solar-powered facility where the workers carpool in a veggie-oil van. The applique-ing is all done by hand using vintage and recycled fabrics. All of our designs were created with the sensibility of two mothers, so they’re not only cute and conscientious, but comfortable and durable and easy for little hands to put on and take off.

If you are about to plan your next holidays in Central and South America, it’s a must to have a look at Whole Travel, who’s mission is:

To provide the best travel opportunities to unique and authentic destinations that preserve the environment, support local cultures and promote sustainable lifestyles.

This sounds promising – take a look at their sustainable tour search engine.
