Spagyrics-A "New" Type of Medicine

Spagyric remedies are a new class of medicine that is gaining popularity in the holistic and natural health communities in the United States.  Although the modality was first coined by Paracelsus, the famous Swiss physician in the 16th century, it is still something that relatively few practitioners here in the United States are familiar with.  More popular in Germany, spagyric remedies, although similar to homeopathy in many ways, are a unique class of medicine that is used for a wide variety of health conditions. 

Decaf Coffee-Friend or Foe?

For many people who love the taste of coffee but are sensitive to the effects of caffeine, decaf coffee can be a healthy alternative. There are a lot of misconceptions around decaffeinated coffee these days so I wanted to clear the air. First off decaf coffee does actually have some small amounts of caffeine in it. Secondly not all the processes used to produce decaf coffee are harmful. Lastly decaf coffee if produced in the proper way can retain all of the flavor compounds and health benefits of its caffeinated brothers.
