WEBSITES - These are some I refer to often, but when doing any search on the web, especially for health info, please double check the claims that sound too good to be true (especially product claims!) with other sources you trust.

www.pHmiracleliving.us (Dr Young’s research foundation-look under FAQs and Articles)

http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/pyramids.html (their new food guide pyramid is not as confusing as the USDAs and not as influenced by the beef and dairy lobby)

http://www.glycemicindex.com/ (for looking up the glycemic load of different foods)

www.doctoryourself.com (great for basic info on different nutrients)

http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/foodcomp/search/ (the USDA research on amounts of nutrients commonly found in foods – a searchable database – and you can compare cooked forms of foods to their raw counterparts)

http://www.adhikara.com/water.html (be sure and click through all the pictures to see vivid examples of how important our ‘thinking and living,’ are to our ‘liquid’ bodies)

www.hiddencures.com ( a good resource for alternative natural “cures” and equipment – use your own judgement)
