Inflammation Factor

I’ve been reading about the Inflammation Factor (IF), a revolutionary idea in a new book entitled the Inflammation Free Diet Plan by Monica Reinagel. This book can save lives. Inflammation is a killer. It leads to heart disease and cancer. It also plays a major role in Crohn’s disease, rheumatoid arthritis, depression, Multiple Sclerosis, premature [...]

Vitamin C Miracles of Dr. Robert F. Cathcart

It’s been several years since I first heard of the vitamin C miracles of Dr. Robert F. Cathcart. He recently retired from his practice in Los Altos, California, where he has treated over 30,000 patients with high dosages of vitamin C for conditions such as hepatitis, viral pneumonia, AIDS, flu, arthritis, to name but a [...]

Vitamin C Cures by Dr. Fred Klenner

Dr. Tom Levy, in the introduction to his invaluable book Vitamin C, Infectious Diseases and Toxins: Curing the Incurable, writes: At the height of the polio epidemic in 1949, when all young parents lived in the fear that their babies and young children would be the next victims, Frederick R. Klenner, M.D., published that he [...]

Concern about CFL Bulbs

Why do I have concern about CFL bulbs? Even if they didn’t give me headaches, I think there must be better solutions. I’m all for anything that can reduce greenhouse emissions and reduce global warming. So the new hoopla about Compact Fulorescent Lighting (CFL) bulbs and all the carbon dioxide they we reduce from the [...]

Happiness and the Flu

Can happiness and the flu coexist? I’m trying to figure that out, because now, after many years, I have the flu and I’m not having fun. What a nuisance! That’s why you haven’t seen much writing from me over the last week. I hope the worst of it’s over. The most unpleasant part of this [...]

Laughter is Good for Health

Research shows that laughter is good for health but research also shows that we don’t laugh enough. Have you heard this story? A tour bus driver is driving with a bus load of seniors down a highway when he is tapped on his shoulder by a little old lady. She offers him a handful of [...]

Prevalence of Autism Still on the Rise

Two days ago the latest study on the prevalence of autism was released and I find myself angrier and angrier the more I think about it. What is going on with autism? The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released data from 2002 (don’t ask me why it’s five years old) showing that autism rates [...]

Lessons from an Illness

Do you ever learn lessons from an illness? I do and I find they’re pretty good ones, too. After four years without a cold, or a sore throat, or a bronchial infection, all three hit me yesterday. I woke up at 5:30 am yesterday feeling extremely congested. It was just a week ago that I [...]

A Curry Cure for Alzheimer’s

Adding some curry sauce to vegetables might become a recommendation from doctors of Alzheimer’s patients if future research validates what current research is pointing to. That sounds like an enjoyable and tasteful way to keep the brain healthy to me. Nursing homes might get some new menus. Indian restaurants might become more popular with senior [...]

HRT Debate Rages On

I know that the HRT debate is a hot topic for a lot of women. When my wife saw an article in today’s Wall Street Journal about some important new research, she requested that I mention it on my blog to help get the word out. The Wall Street Journal article reports that the North [...]

When to Buy Organic

When to buy organic is a question I frequently have to answer. Today I went grocery shopping. I had on my list broccoli, onion, sweet red pepper, apples, blueberry juice, bread, carrots, mushrooms, celery, potatoes and tofu. I chose organic on every item on my list except two. With most everything on the list I [...]

How Thinking Can Change the Brain

The Wall Street Journal had a book excerpt two days ago on how thinking can change the brain. It was a self-evident truth to the Dalai Lama, but an impossibility, according to scientists. The excerpts were comprised of vignettes from the book, Train Your Mind, Change Your Brain,: How a New Science Reveals Our Extraordinary [...]

Gotu Kola and the 256-Year-Old Man

Have you heard about Gotu Kola and the 256-year-old man? I have been a big fan of gotu kola for years but what I found out today motivated me to order four bottles (very cheap) of it. It also didn’t hurt that I found some last night that I had never unpacked from our move [...]

Toxic Energy

Toxic energy is hard to overcome. If you are trying to create something of beauty, or reach a goal, it is almost impossible to reach it in a toxic environment. Just ask any recovering alcoholic in the AA program. They will share with you of their constant effort to keep their focus on their higher [...]

Worry

Worry is so commonplace in our lives that we take it for granted that to live is to worry. This might seem to be a self-evident truth, but it is not in any way true. If we give it some thought, we will soon realize what a waste of energy worry is. It makes us [...]

Vibrational Medicine

Vibrational medicine is the reason why I am still alive today. I was brought to the verge of death with a serious digestive disorder. I was told that it would plague me for the rest of my life. “Know that all strength, all healing of every nature is the changing of the vibrations from within-the [...]
