Flu!!!!!! Get your immune system strong.

Hmmmmmmmm John Peterson in his book "A vision for 2012" talked about this and how it will happen, and I am wondering if another scare is a motivation by our government to get people feeling scared so conveniently they can vaccinate us by the awful petrochemical based products !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Regardless, your immune system at cellular level needs to be very strong so you can fight against any virus coming at you. We approach it in this way holistically and recommend the following to you:
BUILD UP YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM!!!
use products like non toxic essential oils, like "immune up"(you can buy from us), far-infrared therapy (like the Amethyst Biomat) this is used during just about all of our treatments, drink Alkaline Ionized water (we sell them on line & at the spa), Ion Detox Treatment, and eat the best, healthiest diet you can (lots of raw veggies and fruits...). Conversely, stay AWAY from acidic unhealthy substances like drugs, soda/cola, caffeine, sugar, artificial sweeteners, (too much or any) meat/dairy, white flour, fast foods of all kinds because these will LOWER your pH and acidify your body...exacerbating and increasing your symptoms.... Rachel Goodkind's suggestions.
& THINK positive.
Love, Honi :)

Professional Photography by my friend Valerie Cavalheri & Mother's Day Special










Professional Photos:
What a unique & fun experience listening to Zen Cafe, with a gentle fan blowing a few feet away while having Valerie guiding the lights & the camera to capture what she pictures before hand in her mind. This was definitely a foreign territory for me & I am grateful I was in the hands of someone who is just great at what she is doing and is making you feel at ease. All I asked was to have some flowers & be barefoot. :)
If you have been waiting to have your photo taken or have a family photo shot, here is a wonderful additional reason to contact Valerie. I am thrilled to announce that Valerie is offering 50% off the sitting fee for any publicity /head shot photos for any family or children portraits & 100% goes towards the purchase of photos. This offer is exclusive to Holeco™ Patrons and it will expire July 1, 2009.

"Not Just a Pretty Face" by Stacy Malkin

A MUST Read Book

This is a message to all, not just the moms that are making
all the daily household decisions, but to dads & teens as well, to take an active role in learning what you are putting on your body & how it is impacting your well-being.

PREVENTION is the best intervention, but how come we (in America) are so focused on "CURE" rather than not getting sick in the first place? I have navigated through many Cancer Foundation websites and do you find anything on there that raises the attention to the harmful preservatives in our daily use cosmetic/personal care products???? It's the same band aid approach, to let's just cover, but oversee the cause of the initial problem. How about all the Pink awareness, only to learn they are still using products that are known to be carcinogens?

I typically address these questions at the spa as well as when I give presentations. I am beyond thankful for Stacy Malkin's book "Not Just a Pretty Face" that makes my job a bit easier because you can learn so much from the details that goes on. You will wake up, & you will then understand.

As a signatory to the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics, I have been & will continue to only bring products that are free from synthetic chemicals that are harmful to your health & the planet earth. My promise is for you to benefit from the highest quality organic/natural/chemical free/sustainable/earthfriendly/affordable products that I can find in the market to free you from doing the homework so you can enjoy & relax from the benefits. :)

With Joy, love & Peace
Honi :)
