Is aloe vera lotion really good for skin? Episode 156
Is aloe lotion good for skin?
Gemma asks…I am a huge fan of Vaseline Intensive Care Aloe Fresh lotion. However, I have found another aloe lotion that is even cheaper: Perfect Purity. So I’m wondering can you tell me if the Perfect Purity will perform as well as my beloved Vaseline? Or should I just bite the bullet and save my dollars for a big bottle of the Vaseline Aloe Fresh?
Thanks to Gemma for taking the time to record her question. We can answer this pretty conclusively just based on reviewing the ingredients and we’ll cover that first. But then we we want to take this opportunity to talk more about aloe ver...

Are you using the right oils?
Let me begin by stating this simple fact:
We all need fats and oils in our diet. – Tweet this!
We should not be trying to cut back or eliminate the fats or oils. Contrary to the blundering health advice of the last half-century, fats and oils do not make you fat; they help you lose weight. Fats and oils do not trigger insulin, the hormone of weight gain, nor do they increase the risk for cardiovascular disease. They generate satiety, leaving you feeling full and satisfied.
It is important that you choose your oils wisely.
Oils that were previously thought to be unhealthy, such as coconut oil and palm oil, due to their s...

Are cosmetics poisoning our water supply? Episode 154
Should your cosmetics be biodegradable?
Fabi asks about biodegradable products… I have an outdoor shower and it drains into the ground and everyone tells me I have to have biodegradable shampoo, conditioner, and body wash for the ground. Can you explain biodegradable products? It’s really hard to find them. What they’re all about and why would it be important to use them? What are some pros and cons of these products?
This is a great question that we’ll try to answer but everyone should recognize that this is not our usual area of expertise. We’re not environmental chemists or water treatment specialists but we...

Recipes for Successful Entertaining With MS: Start With Eggs!
After I posted about my cooking demonstrations at MS Life 2016, I received a number of requests for the recipes I’d shared at that event. So I thought I’d share those with you today. These recipes are easy, fast to prepare, and suitable for entertaining.
I know that the act of having someone over for a meal can be daunting for many of us with multiple sclerosis (MS) when we think about expense, fatigue, and coordination issues. But not having others over, especially if we used to entertain at home, can contribute to our social isolation.
The three recipes included here can be used for breakfast, brunch, lunch, or dinn...

Foraged Delight – The Staghorn Sumac
This is staghorn sumac (rhus thphina), whose gorgeous red fruit berries I first encountered last summer atop High Knob in the Loyalsock. Isn’t it gorgeous?
The branches and berries of the staghorn sumac have a fuzzy feeling like the antlers of a deer (hence the name) and will NOT give you a rash. The stuff that gives you a rash is poison sumac.
Poison sumac has a red trunk. It grows in swamps and standing water, it’s berries are white and hang down, and the leaves look like this.
Got it? Good. Now stop being afraid and go get yourself some staghorn sumac.
What to do with Staghorn Sumac Berries

Truffle kerfuffle
Those trendy, hipster restaurants with their fancy menus and truffle oil…what exactly is truffle oil? Well, these days it’s nothing to do with truffles unless you make you’re own, if that’s what you thought…truffle oil is basically olive oil with added 2,4-dithiapentane, a compound that smells of truffles.
Of course, back in the day, Italians did actually infuse olive oil with actual truffles to make genuine truffle oil, but next time you’re paying an extra 50 quid for a snack drizzled with truffle oil, think on… (Source: David Bradley Sciencebase - Songs, Snaps, Science)

Will silicone ruin a coconut oil hair treatment? Episode 133
Is the “Remedy” hair treatment by Rita Hazan really magic?
Lizzy asks…Does the Rita Hazan Remedy have any magic in it? My hair feels soft and shiny after I use it, but it didn’t do anything for my sister.
I must say I’ve never seen a product quite like this before. It’s a two part system involves something like 60 different ingredients. (See below.) Just having a lot of ingredients doesn’t mean it’s a better product (a lot of the ingredients are just botanical extracts that are primarily there for show) but the product is packed with a LOT of different conditioning agents. Some of these are very s...

Do you need an oil change?
Fats and oils are a huge piece of the Wheat Belly lifestyle—you should be eating plenty of fats each day in order to lose weight and improve your overall health. You can add butter and oil to your salads and vegetables, and choose the fattiest cuts of meat for your meals.
Make sure you’re choosing the right oils!
Choose coconut, palm, extra-virgin olive oil, extra-light olive oil, macadamia, avocado, flaxseed, and walnut oil, as well as organic butter and ghee. Don’t be afraid of saving the oils from bacon, beef, and pork. You can use lard and tallow, provided they are not hydrogenated. Minimize use of ...

Onion & Olive Tart
Onion & Olive Tart
This wonderful onion and olive tart is based on a recipe from Molly O’Neill. Think if it as an Americanized version of the classic French Pissaladiere – a Nicoise savory tart made with anchovies, onions, olives and herbs. The classic Pissalidiere is made with a thin pizza crust (though Julia Child made hers with puff pastry) and derives it name from its use of pisalla – a condiment speciality of the coastal area around Nice made from ground anchovies with olive oil, herbs and spices.
Today, I’ve made my mother-in-law Irene’s variation of the tart without anchovies....
