I believe that diet, alongside other therapies, can play an extremely important role in healing the body of cancer. And more specifically, I believe that one of the more important parts of that diet should include bone broth. Let's think for a moment...what if your grandma was right?! Seriously, what if that chicken soup really WAS good for the soul? I know it always made me feel better when I was sick. And to this day, people still ...

If you know me, you know I have two children...one brown skinned child and one fair skinned child. However, I follow the same rules for both of them...NO SUNSCREEN. Why?
