Linda, so glad you are able to share healthy ways with your small children as the younger you start the easier it is. It’s sad how many folks we all know whom are suffering or have recently lost their cancer battle. I hope to share with as many people as I can on how to avoid the dreaded disease. I love exploring new healthy ingredients, it’s fun to get creative in the kitchen. All the best to you on your journey and I hope you visit often:)

So, I think I found you via pinterest. Who knows with my daily search of wholesome, cut the crap out sugar and processed food recipes. I loved your site for all the photos. I was drawn to the pancakes since almost every weekend I make our families traditional buttermilk pancakes (no sugar, whole wheat flour) My mind/body has been telling me to make something else. To give our two small children a better food to eat. They are 1.5 and 2.5. So I took a look at your title and it just blared to read, read read. Your entire article is exactly how our family thinks. What you wrote about cancer and why most take a look at what they do on a daily bases, after the diagnosis rings true. I also have seen first hand those who just take the word of the doctor and do whatever they say. We have had almost 10 friends, THIS PAST YEAR, get diagnosed and NONE of them are seriously considering what they do to their body (eating, thoughts, etc) has anything to do with their diagnosis. Thank you so much for the write up. I love how you put in the benefits of the ingredients. I am still learning about many different ingredients myself. Looking forward to making these and enjoying our own homemade berry syrup. Thanks for all you do and you are now one of my top sites to visit.

HI Diane, your pH question is a good one. The body will balance the pH of the blood by stealing minerals from other areas like the bones and organs because it is vital that our blood be maintained at 7.365. But there are other varying pH levels within our body that also need to be maintained but have greater fluctuation like our urine and reflect quite directly the food we consume. If we eat an acidic diet for a prolonged time it will eventually make small incremental changes to our blood making it more acidic and the smallest variation in our blood = big problems like disease. So the urine will reflect a pH variation of your diet but the blood will struggle to maintain homeostasis for pure survival every moment we live and breath as best that it can even if it means depleting other organs, thus also the reason incidence of disease occurs. I hope this makes sense for you. I found this link that you may find interesting with a few mini courses of about 30 slides each on a few pH/health topics. It's very simply put and easy to understand if you wish more info.
