Introduction... hello everyone

[Guest guest]

I just joined the list and thought I'd drop a not to say hello. I'm a mom of

three, Spencer(11), (6), and (5). I'm also interested in raising a

family in a more natural way. We have just completely restyled our lives after

finding out that my has a rheumatic illness called scleroderma that causes

scarring and tightening of the skin, joints to stiffen and muscle to

deteriorate. I went against all my instincts and had my kids vaccinated, which

I think is partially responsible for her illness. I will never do it again!!

We are now eating as naturally and organically as we can manage and have

eliminated any chemical cleaners etc. from the house.

I'm also interested in herbs and grow quite a few in my garden. I've made

tinctures, salves, soap etc and it really is a lot of fun and very satisfying.

I have a recipe for herbal salve on my web site for anyone who's interested:

The recipe is on my herb page.

Anyway, I've enjoyed reading the posts that have been coming in and really feel

at home here.
