Helping Bees, Butterflies, and Other Invertebrates




Do you know about the Xerces Society? They "defend invertebrates"---but why does that matter? Here's why:  "Butterflies, dragonflies, beetles, worms, starfish, mussels, and crabs are but a few of the millions of invertebrates at the heart of a healthy environment. Invertebrates build the stunning coral reefs of our oceans; they are essential to the reproduction of most flowering plants, including many fruits, vegetables, and nuts; and they are food for birds, fish, and other animals. Yet invertebrate populations are often imperiled by human activities and rarely accounted for in mainstream conservation."
They also teach how to help the bees and butterflies:

Medicare And Chiropractic


Medicare covers chiropractic treatment, but only treatment to one or more regions of the spine. So, if you have a knee problem, for example, you must pay your chiropractor "out of pocket" for helping you with your knee. I do take Medicare patients, and am happy to answer any questions you may have.

Coconut Oil

Are you getting your daily coconut oil? It has antiviral and antibacterial factors, and is great to include in your diet during cold and flu season. Organic, unrefined coconut oil is best.
