LOA Today – 11.19.15

Returning once again to our exploration of past shows, we return to December 2012 when I interviewed a wife and mother named Elizabeth Hamilton who has struggled with debilitating allergies to nuts.

Forced by circumstances to learn how to identify and then overcome her allergies through careful food selection, she turned her allergies into a career devoted to sharing information about food allergies and helping to educate the world about the deadly risks inherent to those of us unfortunate enough to have these allergies.

After then suffering through the trial of her father’s stroke and recovery, followed by her creation of the Maine Cookie Company while twice winning the Mts. Maine contest, she then founded the Best Ever You Network, devoted to helping people meet their full potential. Today, it’s a highly successful network of hundreds of contributors and authors on the subject of reaching one’s dreams.

We are eating WHAT?

What if you took a spoonful of your morning cereal and had an allergic reaction or even felt tranquillized? But when you looked at the package labeling there were no ingredients that would seem to be red flags? Increasingly, thanks to an FDA loophole, food makers use additives and chemicals that they and not the FDA have declared “safe” and the ingredients …
