Northeast Family Practice is an office for the offices of Terri Wilkerson Riddiford, MD and Donald L. Turner, DO. For this review I will focus on my experience with the office and with Dr. Riddiford. Dr. Riddiford really does know her stuff. She has the most integrative approach to …

I have tried tons of different feminine products and do not find them all to be memorable or worth my while. I however, have used many feminine products that worked sufficiently and try to stick with those brands. It is not always easy for me to get to Wal-Mart, …

One of my stocking stuffers this year was given to me by my partner, and it was one of the cutest things for the bath I have ever used. I had seen products similar to this, but never got around to trying any of them. Confetti bubble bath is made …

Noise! Noise! Noise! That is all I have been hearing around our house lately between the house construction, yard work and the use of that horribly noisy gas powdered wood splitter. I am a freelance writer and sometimes I just need it so quiet to I can think and …

I’ve been using this toothpaste for about a year and a half and have come to the conclusion that I should switch to something else. I’ve discovered that despite the inclusion of mouthwash beads, my mouth does not feel particularly clean after I use this toothpaste. And the fresh …

I bought a box of Crest White Strips because I was going to a wedding in a few weeks and I wanted to see if they would brighten my smile because I wanted my teeth to look a white as they could for the pictures. I purchased the …

I am pretty much never getting a good nights sleep. My sleep patterns are all over the place depending on how my day went, how much stress I’m experiencing, what my work schedule is and if I’m able to “unwind” after a late shift in enough time to go …

The 3 Day Diet was initially appealing to me, because it’s supposed to result in a 10 pound weight loss in a period of only 3 days. I know it’s generally not considered healthy to lose a lot of weight in a short amount of time, but at …

I fell in love with Primal Elements soaps when someone made me a gift basket full of them. They are the most amazing and fun bars of soap I have ever encountered. They are glycerin based, so very good for your skin. I have found them to …

I recently gave birth to a healthy baby boy. A few weeks after giving birth, I noticed the stretch marks and scars I incurred during my pregnancy. I had stretch marks on my upper leg part and a very awful scratch mark on the skin in my belly located …

I always end up having burnt skin while cooking. I love to cook but I think I’m not careful enough for the oil or soup splashes. Good thing we have Savoy Antiseptic Burn Relief Spray in our medicine cabinet. It always saves the day.
Savoy Antiseptic Burn Relief Spray can …

This was a good product to have around the house in case of bee stings, although it also worked alright for other types of bites like mosquitoes. Unfortunately, I can’t find it in stores any more. The only place I can find it is online at Amazon, but I …

I like to use a cooling toner spray in the summer and I have a little collection going. One I could not wait to add just as soon as I heard about it was this tea tree toner from Lush. I have fallen in love with Lush bath and body …

My husband’s left knee is often stiff and hard to bend, due to cartilage problems. Surgery removed the excess cartilage, but as the remaining structure of the knee gets easily inflammed, our doctor suggested we try Glucosamine supplements.
We tried a couple of different brands, and often they were quite …

I do not remember when intimate soaps became a “big thing” but now it is hard to imagine your daily routine without them. It seems there are more and more to choose from, which is good since not all will suit everyone.
This one is widely available, since you can …

I needed some at home exercise equipment because I no longer had time to go to the gym. I looked around and couldn’t really afford any major equipment so I did the next best thing. I got a cheaper piece of exercise equipment that appeared as though it might …

I read about curcumin being a very potent antioxidant that is recommended by many for general health and even cancer prevention. It was something I had never tried, but I had heard about curcuminoids, which come from the spice turmeric. Anything that protects the DNA is worth trying for me.
…

I found this product at a beauty supply store in town. I was hoping for it to fade a small brown spot on my cheek. I had already checked with the doctor to be sure it was not anything serious, and he said it was just a “sun spot” …

Off late, I noticed that the skin on my hands felt quite dull and scaly, but what really looked in bad condition were my cuticles which in fact so dry that they sometimes just cracked and caused bleeding. This situation almost made it just impossible for me to do …

In my quest for a toothpaste that works well and whitens the teeth at the same time, I decided to give Crest 3D Radiant Mint Toothpaste a try. I really needed something that would work well to get my teeth as white as possible. I got the Crest 3D …

As a diabetic who has had problems with chronic and recurring yeast infections, I have tried many things to try and prevent them. Keeping blood sugar under control is of course the best way, but sometimes when you have a yeast issue that won’t go away, even that is not …

When I put in an order to Eden’s Garden for some other essential oils, I added this one—“ it was on sale, plus I love the fragrance of eucalyptus spearmint and I could use this to make my own.
I only know of a few health uses that are …

I wear contact lens and it is very important for contact lens wearers to have very clean hand when putting on the contact lenses and removing them to prevent any infections from occurring. And when I mention “really clean”, I do mean really clean. I initially purchased Dettol Anti-bacterial …

To protect my family from mosquitoes, I use Baygon Electric Mosquito Killer. But this is only inside the house. When I tried to rearrange my pots of plants in my little garden, so many mosquitoes flew around that bit me. I was really frightened because dengue …

Although I have owned this product for several months now, I never realized how useful it is until fairly recently when I enrolled in an aerobics class at a local gym. I work a full time job and usually the only time that I can squeeze in for …

When I developed a painful rash/injury under my arms, thanks to a serious dispute between my hand and a new disposable razor that occurred when a crazy feline jumped into the shower with no warning, I could not use my regular antiperspirant products at all. Even the slightest hint …

When I sent my partner to the store, I requested cotton swabs. I was asked what brand, and I replied that as long as it was either Q-Tip or Johnson’s, it was fine. I did not think about the varieties that were available. I have always felt that Q-Tips …

I have used a few capsaicin products before, and I honestly have to give them a mixed review. I tried this product when I had run out of Mineral Ice and just wanted to try something new for my fibromyalgia pain. I had been told that this product would …

I love using natural oils on both my body and hair because of their amazing ability to seal in moisture in my skin. Although I am a major fan of Burt’s Bees products, I have to admit that it was not until fairly recently that I tried this …

This soothing gel works pretty well, although it can’t quite take away all the discomfort and unsightliness of sunburned skin. This soothing gel is sold at the Dollar Tree for just one dollar, and in my eyes, that’s a good price for a six ounce bottle of this stuff. …

It is important to keep ourselves clean. Most often, we can get germs by holding different stuff. So, it is also important to clean and wash our hands especially when we are about to eat.
But it is not always possible. So, as for me, I bought an ethyl alcohol. …

Now that I am not young anymore, I have been dealing with calloused and cracked feet. I would get some pretty good cracks on my feet that would really hurt. I was clueless when it came to foot care. I asked my doctor and she recommended …

After trying the 8 Minute Buns and Legs workout, I thought I—˜d see if I could get a hold of the 8 Minutes Abs and Arms Workout. While I knew the first DVD cost about twenty dollars, I was shocked when I saw the second DVD for …

I wear contact lenses for as long as I can remember. This means wearing them for at least 8 hours in a day. When my eyes give up, I just resort to putting on my prescription glasses to get some relief in the eyes. However, during the times I …

There are so many articles on the numerous benefits of virgin coconut oil. This was what influenced me to start taking UNO First Health Virgin Coconut Oil when it first came out in the market. I’m glad to say that I really experienced its benefits.
I’ve been taking …

I’d been using other tampons for many years before I tried o.b., and I have now decided to switch to using them exclusively - they’re that good.
If you’re new to using tampons, I don’t recommend starting with o.b. - the applicator-free system is difficult to get the hang …

I used these pH boosting drops for over three weeks, while staying with a friend out of town. He was a big believer in keeping the body and all that goes into it alkaline, and he insisted that I use the drops in everything I drank that was water based, …

This by far has got to be the best cleansing supplement I have ever purchased by far! Seriously! I’ve used so many other products in the past like teas, pills, diets, smoothies, shakes, liquids, all types of products and none of them have worked well compared to this one! …

I have used Pantene in the past and generally like their products. Since I have dry hair (for the most part) I wanted to try this new shampoo and see if it left my hair as manageable as the other Pantene product always did.
I was interested in the …

I tried Head and Shoulders 2 in 1 Classic Clean when I was visiting a friend that had it in their shower. I had forgotten to bring my own shampoo. Although I didn’t purchase the shampoo myself, it can be purchased at Walmart for $9.24 for a 33.9 oz. …

I love to use natural products, and especially when they offer very unusual fragrances. I ordered this one out of sheer curiosity. I do not always like chocolate smells, especially not with mint. (An exception would be the mentioned combination in ice cream, but I don’t wear ice cream!)

Maybe you are one of the millions of Americans that need to supplement your daily intake of calcium and vitamin D. After blood tests, my doctor suggested I start taking Caltrate supplements every day. She also explained the importance of taking vitamin D along with the calcium for proper …

It is a habit of me and my family that to keep the hand soap next to my kitchen when ever I or my family members are around we wash our hands very frequently with this hand soap. Actually whenever I used to go to a mall I used …
