Mothers and grandmothers are notorious for offering home remedies for whatever ails you.

With the passing of another Earth Day, we are made ever-more conscious of the impact each of us has on the environment with the daily choices we make. And, as
natural oil and gas prices continue to soar, finding alternative heating methods becomes more of a priority. Not only does the depletion of these natural resources contribute to the energy crisis, the laws of supply and demand ensure prices will only go up. Replacing oil and gas systems with solar heating systems would go a long way in preserving precious fossil fuels, not to mention reducing the hazardous effects of air pollution.

While there are some doctors who are willing and even eager to integrate alternative therapies with more mainstream ones, there are others in the medical community who dispute their effectiveness, think they reek of scam and snake oil, and are even downright criminal.
