Interested in starting a business like ours in your community:?
Start educating yourself!
Purchase these books (almost all can be found used on Amazon.com or AbeBooks.com. This knowledge is powerful. If we are all educated in herbs and essential oils; we can keep the Pharmaceutical industry and government control where they should be....Chemicals are killing us and killing our children. We have to take control of our health back from the "doctors" and the pharmaceutical chemicals in everything including the drugs they push.
Be willing to go through this whole detox process for yourself and your family.
If you won't work hard for yourself, you will not able to help others change their lives for the healthier.
Our future plans include helping others start their own business making and selling in their local communities. We do not want to sell to the world. We want to empower families and communities by supporting locally manufactured and sold products.
The Discover magazine has had some amazing articles on the healthy bacteria in our bodies and what antibiotics do to this essential microbial community. Check them out. I love this quote from THE ECOSYSTEM INSIDE, March 2011, by Michael Tennesen: "When you use antibiotics, you essentially drop a bomb on a microbial community."
The Discover magazine also has many good articles on the chemicals used in modern farming practices. It is a worthwhile magazine to subscribe to.
