Healthy Products
Below are links to some of my favorite online vendors/products.
Bodylastics
A very reasonably priced and well-designed system of elastic bands for conditioning and rehabilitation. The enclosed instructional booklet is OK. However, I do not recommend using the system aerobically as portrayed in the enclosed DVD.
"Clean" Makeup Manufacturers
HerbMark, good place for makeup
I've had good experience buying Paul Pender products from Herbmark - except for the St. Johns Wort Cream. I discourage ordering this particular Paul Pender product on-line because the product seal is often faulty and the product arrives dried out. HerbMark also carries carries Hemp, Real Purity, Royal Labs and Vital Image products.
MyVitanet, a good place to buy KAL Stevia
KAL Stevia is my favorite tasting stevia, and the prices at MyVitanet are very good.
Radiant Life Wellness Catalog: Water Purifiers
Radiant Life Wellness offers many fine products including a full range of water purifiers.
Radiant Life Wellness Catalog: Shower Purifier
I recommend shower filters to reduce chlorine exposure. You can find shower filters at many co-op health stores in California. This online vendor has prices similar to what we pay at the co-op.
SAD Lights & Dawn Simulators
I've found that some clients greatly benefit from a daily routine of 30 to 60 minutes with bright lights each morning. Here's a good source for these lights. Also, this site has a good source for "Dawn Simulators", a much better way to awaken than typical auditory alarms.
