	Hello listmates, I hate to send out yucky news but I also believe we need to be informed to make powerful, healthful decisions for our families. On my website I mention many things we need to change. Below are three suggestions and articles supporting them. ONE: BREASTFEED Perchlorate chemicals found in baby formula. http://www.naturalnews.com/025997.html TWO: GET SOME SUN Link between autism and Vitamin D deficiency. http://www.lef.org/magazine/mag2009/apr2009_The-Link-Between-Autism-and-Low-Levels-of-Vitamin-D_01.htm THREE: AVOID FLUORIDE Cancer causing toxins in fluoride http://groups.google.com/group/Fluoridation-News-Releases/browse_thread/thread/621dfc360e77caf6 On a good note the London Autism Rally was a huge success. See the video here. Thank you Joan Campbell for your hard work. Hope you are all enjoying the fantastic weather. We are in S. Florida and it has been unusually cool for this time of year and I love it. For local folk, I will be at St. Andrew Episcopal Church in Jensen Beach on the 25th of April. They are having their first Earth Day celebration. I will be there along with many other great folks vending. Come on by. I will also be at Nutrition S’mart on the 23rd of May doing a lecture on the benefits of eating gluten free. Stop by and say “hi” Blessings and Happy Spring Dotty Scalco ********************************************************* E.C.H.O.

ABOUT US:

We started our quest to live a healthy lifestyle a long time ago. We have been researching health since 1999! It all started when our second child was diagnosed with Failure to Thrive. She just stopped growing after her “well baby” visit.

Since then we have discovered so many things that are unhealthy and we have gone from your typical American, moderately healthy family to a total counter-cultural family. We have our babies at home, we breastfeed, we visit alternative doctors and use alternative natural remedies, we eat an organic, whole foods diet, we only have non-toxic cleaning and personal products in our home, we believe in child-led learning, we don’t watch television, we are proud parents of ten children and we bought ourselves an earth-friendly home on a chunk of land. We are slowly learning to grow food, raise animals and live more simply. Most people consider us weird, but we prefer the term unique and informed.

How did we come to all of this? Well, lets say we did a lot of research and trial and error. Along the way we have learned lots of interesting things. We have discovered that things that you may think are healthy are not and vice-versa. We have come across some great products that we have been using for years and some others that are not so great. We have some great resources we would like to share with you on your journey to a healthier lifestyle.

To see how our journey progresses through the years start with our first post and continue to the next and so on. To see how we came to or feel about certain things do a search for what you are looking for. Remember this is a work in process, so we may have not gotten to your topic of interest. If not, please email us and ask.

Also, please understand that we don’t get to blog as much any more, but hope to be able to someday soon. Family first!

Thanks for your interest in our blog!!

Have a great day!
