Living Without Favorites: Grilling Additive and Chemical Free
Would you like additives and chemicals with your burger? That may be what you’re eating if you grill using most commercial briquets. With ingredients like anthracite coal, sodium nitrate, sand, saw dust (and the hydrocarbons contained in painted wood scraps), clays, limestone and even borax, many brands produce smoke and fumes that aren’t healthy for cooking—or breathing.

Quench your thirst with a frothy, cold beer. The selection of gluten-free brews available in the United States is growing and here’s a new favorite—Green’s Beer. Inspired by strong European beer and developed using a closely guarded secret recipe, Green’s is made with millet, rice, buckwheat and sorghum. No barley and no wheat.

Living Without Favorites: Correcting Untreated Celiac Disease Nutritional Deficiencies
Untreated celiac disease can result in multiple nutritional deficiencies. Even after diagnosis and implementation of the gluten-free diet, many celiacs struggle to fully restore their health. Christine Doherty, a naturopathic doctor, understands the plight of the typical celiac. She suffered for years with complications from undiagnosed celiac disease. Her first-hand experience was the catalyst for opening her practice, Balance Point Natural Medicine, in Milford, New Hampshire. Doherty specializes in restoring health and lifestyle balance to people with food allergies, celiac disease and other chronic conditions. While proper diet is essential to the healing process, Doherty believes that nutritional supplements are also beneficial and she offers a complete line of certified gluten-free supplements.
