In this post, I want to outline the seven principles upon which I have created my "ancestral healing approach to healing chronic illness." None of these principles works in isolation; they work synergistically. In my experience, a lifestyle developed around these principles has incredible healing power.

Krill Oil - Antarctic - 1000mg softgels - 60 ct

Vital Choice Wild Antarctic Krill Oil is my favorite way to satisfy my body’s needs for omega-3 fatty acids. It is rich in the rare, phospholipid form of omega-3’s, which cross the blood-brain barrier far more readily than omega-3’s in standard fish oil.
