“Helping to Heal” is a simple common sense resource guide for parents caring for children with cancer and other life-threatening illnesses. We interview the author, Patti Wood, Visiting Scholar at Adelphi University’s College of Nursing and Public Health, about practical measures parents can undertake to safeguard children from toxic environmental exposures. From clean diet to safe household cleansers and personal care products to non-toxic garden care options, the book covers the gamut of issues relating to environmental triggers of pediatric cancer, developmental disorders like autism, dyslexia and ADD/ADHD, allergic disorders like asthma and autoimmune diseases like juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and hypothyroidism. Are GMOs potentially harmful to kids? Is it important to eat organic? What about flea and tick products for pets? What dangers emanate from your washer/dryer? Do cell phones and wifi pose hazards to growing children? Patti Wood dishes on a wide variety of issues that impact childhood health and offers simple, easy-to-implement solutions.

Give the gift of healthy chocolate!
If you have a sweet tooth like me, the holiday season can be full of temptation.
Thankfully, FlavaNaturals’ line of products ensures chocolate lovers like me can obtain the full health benefits of cocoa flavanols along with great taste—all with less fat and sugar!
Cocoa is one of the most thoroughly-investigated functional foods on the planet. That’s why I take plentiful, flavanol-rich cocoa supplementation daily and have long recommended it to my patients and audience. But just taking any store-bought dark chocolate won’t deliver its benefits; FlavaNaturals cocoa products contain 5-9 times the beneficial flavanols of typical dark chocolate. I throw some powder in with my decaf or a smoothie, and even use it to make chia chocolate pudding!
Right now, FlavaNaturals is offering special holiday savings for my audience: Save 20% through December 19th with code HOFFMAN20
