Here are few of the websites and news stories I’ve been reading this week.

Healthy Child, Healthy World has a great resource page with links to information about model programs dedicated to getting toxic chemicals out of schools.
Schools are our children’s second homes. The moment a parent sets foot in a school and realizes how important this place is to their child’s health and development is oftentimes the moment a community advocate is born. For parents who have taken every precaution at home, it can be a moment of culture shock. Luckily, parents and schools across the nation are blazing a green trail towards creating healthy environments for students to learn and grow in.

Ihor Basko, DVM, is helping me with my chronically ill cat. The tab for his website has been open for six weeks. Check out his guidelines for pet nutrition. He had me make a beef liver shake last week that made ME want to vomit, but made the cat spring to life! Here’s the recipe, I’m doing the first one with carrot juice, no wheat grass, I doubled up on the carrot juice and nutritional yeast, and I started out giving it to her by the teaspoon every 2-3 hours for total of about 6 tablespoons a day (less dose than recommended here):

OR
