Another approach

As a nurse, working in acute care, I've seen for too many years the cultural thinking that modern medicine is the cure for everything. Or at least that it is the assumption and expectation. Don't get me wrong, I definitely agree that there are many appropriate and good things about modern medicine. It's just that it is so common to think that we can put whatever chemicals(i.e. artificial foods, preservatives, artificial everything, smoking, excess of refined products,etc....) into our bodies and not to expect there to be ramifications.
Lest you think I am above all of this - I certainly am not. I do realize that I am very much part of the culture!! I think moderation is concept that I have always struggled with.
With that said, I am looking to provide more healthy approaches and alternatives for my family. I think having a little one around has made me think about it a lot more!
That is why I put the Simple, Healthy, Tasty button on my blog. It's something to think about. Not anything to shove down anyone else's throat - just something to consider - or not.
The author of the blog is having a giveaway book - revealing another approach to medicine. Again, I'm not saying that we should do away with modern medicine - I haven't even read the book. I do think, however, it is important to look at other options to be able to make more informed decisions.
