Composting is Fundamental
Good Compost = Black Gold

Good compost takes time to develop. I build up compost during the Summer months then add to my garden soil in the fall. The effort is well worth it!

If you do not have access to traditional "browns" (dried leaves, twigs, branches, etc.) you may use brown grocery bags, paper, and cardboard. The more finely shredded, the better, as the total surface area is at its maximum potential which promotes rapid decomposition.
Do not use highly inked paper as the ink may be toxic.

Avoid glossy magazines; they are full of toxins. Be sure to remove labels, plastic, and shipping tape prior to your shred party. Have fun!

Fluoride-Free Tooth Polish

Fluoride-Free Tooth Polish
I just whipped up a fresh batch of Fluoride-Free Tooth Polish for my roommate who absolutely loves the stuff!
After many iterations, I developed the following organic tooth polish recipe. Feel free to copy and modify the extract flavoring to suit your tastes! Also, this may provide a potential barter item for future consideration...
Step One
Fluoride-Free Tooth Polish
Fluoride-Free Tooth Polish
Use organic ingredients whenever possible. Add, in this order:
1-1/2 cups Diatomaceous Earth (food grade)
1 cup Baking Soda
5 Packets Stevia
Pulse a few times to blend evenly.
Step Two
Final Product
Final Product
Add:
1 cup Coconut Oil (of a soft butter consistency - important)
Pulse until well blended.
While in full pulse, drizzle in:
1 tsp. Clove Extract
1/2 tsp. Hydrogen Peroxide (3% diluted)
Final Product
Final Product

The final product should have the consistency of thick frosting or peanut butter. You may add a few drops of Distilled Water to make more pliable. Transfer to an airtight container. I dole out a quarter cup at a time into a small glass jar then, when that runs out, dole out some more. The polish lasts a long time (a little goes a long way) and does not require refrigeration.
Non-Toxic Mouth Rinse
1 Bottle Hydrogen Peroxide (3% solution) + Peppermint Oil (super-strength LorAnn Oils)
Add two full dropperfuls of super-strength peppermint oil to one bottle of hydrogen peroxide (3% solution). Shake. When ready to use, squirt a Tablespoon or so into a mouthwash cap, add a little water, then swirl in mouth for 15 seconds. Spit out. Give mouth a final rinse of fresh water. Then, most importantly, have a great day!
Deodorant Stone
Non-Toxic Aluminum Free Deodorant
Works best on slightly moist, bare skin. Lasts all day long and leaves no icky deodorant stains on your nice clothes.

ORGANIC QUININE RECIPE
NOT medical advice but an option our Grandmoms would endorse!
SOURCE: https://www.teamnetworks.net/blog/5902/make-your-own-hydroxychloroquine-aka-quinine/
5 Organic Lemons
5 Organic Grapefruit
Distilled Water
- · Wash the fruit and peel the rind.
- · Place the rinds in a non-metallic (glass or Dutch Oven pots work well).
- · Cover the rinds with the distilled water to 3 inches above the rinds.
- · Cover with a glass lid then bring to a boil.
- · Turn down the heat to a simmer. Simmer for 3 hours.
- · DO NOT REMOVE THE GLASS LID!
- · Let cool for 2 hours with the lid on. Strain cooled juice.
- · Pour into sanitized glass jars. Refrigerate.
Take 2 TBLSP in the morning and 2 TBLSP at night or you may make into a tea, sweetened with organic honey, and sip throughout the day (quinine tastes bitter). The quinine may be frozen.
I supplement my health with daily doses of Zinc, Vitamin D3, and Vitamin E. Exercise and eating organic is key to robust health.
To reiterate, this is NOT medical advice but an old-school option that our Grandmothers and our Great-Grandmothers would endorse (when the sniffles start).
If you are feeling ill, seek professional medical advice!
