Herbal Medicines Vs Prescription Drugs
I cannot possibly remember my first contact with herbal remedies but I’m sure it must have been through my Grandmother. She was a pioneer spirit, tough enough to kill a hog to feed her family for the winter. She was amazing and I seem to remember sassafras tea and fresh yellowroot tea from my childhood.
Grandma passed on long ago so I can’t ask but I know she loved her garden and had one of the most prolific gardens I’ve seen.

Is Your Child Getting Enough Vitamin D?
We’ve all heard so much about Vitamin D, also called the ‘Sunshine Vitamin’. But how many of us really know what it is, and how it is important to us and our children?
Vitamin D is essential for a child’s normal growth and development. It is produced in our body after it is exposed to Ultra-Violet rays from the sun. This vitamin helps in increasing the absorption of calcium and phosphorus, thereby making the bones strong. Studies have suggested that vitamin D is also vital in maintaining a good immune system, in regulating the growth of cells, and in the prevention of cancer.
A number of researches have been carried out to understand the role of vitamin D in child health. Most studies have indicated that vitamin D can be beneficial in preventing Rickets and reducing the risk of Osteoporosis. Children with a deficiency of this vitamin are at a high risk for stunted growth and weakened bones. A study published in the October 2008 Journal of Pediatrics says that almost 50% of children suffering from Cystic Fibrosis were deficient in Vitamin D.
