Professional Health Care and Nutrition

International College of Applied Kinesiology: Dr. Jeanne Kennedy Crosby is a proud member of the ICAK, the International College of Applied Kinesiology.
Standard Process: Standard Process nutritional products are the best, IMHO. They have been developed with the objective of true absorbtion and utilization. The products are more like medicine than vitamins. They are designed to correct specific deficiencies and imbalances in relatively short order.
Weston A. Price Foundation: The Weston A. Price Foundation is a nonprofit, tax-exempt charity founded in 1999 to disseminate the research of nutrition pioneer Dr. Weston Price, whose studies of isolated nonindustrialized peoples established the parameters of human health and determined the optimum characteristics of human diets. Dr. Price's research demonstrated that humans achieve perfect physical form and perfect health generation after generation only when they consume nutrient-dense whole foods and the vital fat-soluble activators found exclusively in animal fats.
Health Alert: Amazing healing breakthroughs and scientific findings! Dr. Bruce West's website promoting his most outstanding health newsletter, which I keep a library of in my waiting room.
Dr. Jeffrey Williamson: Mercury-free holistic dentist in Lake Oswego. I had all of my metal dental fillings replaced here, with safety features in place to prevent re-absorbtion of the mercury particles and vapor. I was able to be muscle tested for the replacement filling material (for which I am grateful, there was one material that didn't test well and stressed my thyroid, so I was able to say "not this one.")

Self-Care

Oil Pulling, Wonderful Therapy: I have practicing Oil Pulling now for a few months, a couple of times per week. I recommend it as a simple, inexpensive way to do some detoxifying at a slow and manageable pace. I can say from experience it makes your teeth whiter almost immediately, and also the eyes become clearer and brighter. The proponents of oil pulling, which comes from India and Ayurvedic medicine, attribute many healing benefits to the practice. This is a good introductory website.
Sound Feelings Intestinal Plaque Loosening Audio File: This is pure genius right here. Listen to the sample. Support this guy's work by purchasing the downloadable file. It makes you eliminate old hard fecal deposits from your intestinal walls just by listening to it. Highly complementary to any cleansing or purification program.

Community

Master Recycler Program, Portland OR: This group of recycling masters host an excellent plastics recycling event where you can recycle just about every type of plastic. This includes bubble-type packaging, plastic-wrap type packaging, i.e. toilet paper packaging, plastic utensils, lids of all types, plastic flower pots, you name it. It's awesome. Hoard your plastic and bring it to the roundups, they're fun.
Naturescape site for East Multnomah Soil and Water Conservation District: You can sign up for free classes to learn how to naturescape your yard. I took the basic class and I learned a whole lot about native plants and creating a low impact, low maintanance and beautiful landscaping project.

Music and Musicians

Miss Massive Snowflake's Myspace: I am proud to support my good friend Shane DeLeon by playing bass in his art-music project Miss Massive Snowflake.
Miss Massive Snowflake Live at the Someday Lounge 11.26.2007: The Someday Lounge is an awesome live music and art venue here in Portland. It is a beautiful smoke-free space in the Old Town section of downtown. All performances are streamed live on the internet as they happen. This show is an archived performance from November 2007. Not everyone has the computer-power to see the video part of the recording. It's not the best video, you can only see Shane, me, and very occasionally David, Caroline or Zac. There are actually five of us playing.
Hank Hirsh Quintet: Hank Hirsh is a great musician, teacher, and friend.
