Natural Healing - The Care.
Are you a city mouse or a country mouse? There are so many versions of that story with different "lessons" implied. One is that we are comfortable with what we know and not so much with what's unfamiliar. Another is that it might be better to live with less and feel peaceful than to live with extras, yet be fearful. The main thing I got from the story when I was younger was that there is a difference between city and country living and many contributing factors to that. I've
This Is All You Need

Here are a few other complaints or conditions that could easily be blamed on eating too much or, more importantly, the "wrong" thi
