Enhance Your Immune Response by Jeff Roush, ND |
|
Doc, what can you give me for this nagging cold?” This is a common question in medicine, and the reply is usually, “Nothing, you just have to wait it out.” Unfortunately, the common approach is symptom suppression: lowering a fever, suppressing a cough, and drying up a runny nose. Basically, entertaining you until your immune system ramps up.

Subject to Change Without Notice |
|
I was just re-reading the guarantee that came with my life (I assume you got one too), because something didn’t seem to make sense. You see, I thought there would always be polar bears.

Real Food at the Summit |
|
In the 1950s, 80 percent of Montana’s food was grown and processed locally. Now it’s only 10 percent. The Governor’s Food and Agriculture Summit, March 22-23, focused on restoring our self-reliance—and with it, our food security—that we enjoyed not so long ago.

Wholes in My Head (Big Enough for a Gorilla to Walk Through) |
March Editorial by Laughing Water, Owner and General Manager.
Our minds depend on stories. Stories give us meaning and purpose. We use stories to organize our chaotic worlds into coherent wholes. They make our worlds seem solid, stable and real. But they also create holes, and we literally don’t see or remember things that fall through those holes between the wholes.

Eating Meat Compassionately |
|
Red meat is a rich source of irony for a vegetarian like me. I offer it in our store only because the vast majority of our customers eat meat, and I’m trying to offer a complete solution for people who want to eat healthfully, ecologically and compassionately.

Real Solutions |
|
January 2007 Editorial by Laughing Water, General Manager--News reports are constant reminders of the world’s great problems: poverty, hunger, disease, war, environmental destruction and more. To some extent, these things are out of your or my control. But it’s also increasingly true that the face of the planet is being shaped by human choices. How about a nice big smile?

My Nutty Diet |
|
Nutrition experts used to rule out nuts as a basic food because of their high fat content. That never stopped me, since I was a vegetarian, and if anything I had the opposite kind of weight problem.
