He is a Chinese herbalist who obviously knows what he's doing. My neighborhood is primarily Chinese American.

Would you offer guest writers to write content available for you? I wouldn't mind publishing a post or elaborating on most of the subjects you write related to here. Again, awesome blog!

I'm definitely not one to judge. My initial thought was, "Interesting" as I tried to visualize it. I'll probably try it. :) I'm not easily grossed out. I was a nurse's aid for a while and after that, things just didn't bother me as much. Except sputum. Blech. Gag. Thanks so much for commenting! I'm glad to hear that you've been getting some goodness out of it. I'm totally blessed when people let me know. Thanks for making my night even better. Oh, and if you're on the email list, you'll get a special notice about the book tomorrow. LOL! I’m definitely not one to judge. My initial thought was, “Interesting” as I tried to visualize it.

I discovered your blogs a couple of months ago and love them! I'm always so excited to continually take steps toward a more sustainable life. I'm the daughter of environmentalists who have been doing many of these things my whole life, and thus equipping me with the head start of doing them automatically...but that's not to say that there can't always be improvement! I'd rate my fiancee and I definitely between weird and the point of no return. What led me to this post was actually your comment about toilet paper in your Budget-Slashing post. It got me curious because I'd never heard of anyone else doing that in this culture. My fiancee taught me to not use toilet paper by washing with water after using the bathroom. Inspired by the practices of other cultures and several religions, we use a watering-can-like pitcher filled with warm water (it's best if you can reach the tub or the sink from the toilet). By cupping your hand below your bottom and pouring the water into it, you can splash it and gently rub everything very clean. Then use the cloth (I prefer either a wash cloth or cloth diaper!)to dry. Wash your hands very well with soap and warm water. As you say, the initial reaction is "yuck!", but after thinking about it, one begins to think "yuck" instead about how dirty people's bums stay with toilet paper (you simply cannot wipe it all off!). This leaves you so much cleaner (which, among other things, eliminates worry in those intimate moments). An additional bonus is that I stopped suffering from continuous yeast infections almost immediately! Well...this was probably a pretty personal comment for being the first one! I hope you won't judge me for it! I mostly wanted to share this because it really improved my life in many ways, while also being more sustainable. I hope I haven't grossed you out. It's so wonderful to see so many people pursuing these more sustainable lifestyles, all eager to share and learn more! It's definitely a process that (for me at least) works best and sticks when taken step by step. Thank you for giving me ideas for the next few footfalls! Blessings, Hannah (Also, I can't wait for your Simple Natural Health book to come out!) Hi Nina!
