For any of you who have attended my Stress Management/Peace Building workshops over the last five years, you have heard me “preach” about forgiveness.  As I have reviewed the ten rules for peace management from the “Body By God” book, I ALWAYS take extra time to tell a compelling story about Aurora, and her story of forgiveness, as it blew me away! So what is this forgiveness thing all about?  Well, it is such a powerful part of well-being, that I cannot say enough about it.  When we feel wronged, it is so easy for us to hold on, to want […]

Fortified foods are a staple food in our society… not in my household, but in our society.  Actually, I don’t think we eat any fortified food on a regular basis other than the Almond Milk.  As you are likely aware, fortified suggests that vitamins and/or minerals have been added to a food, to insure that you are getting what you need in your daily intake of vitamins and minerals. And on that point, do you realize that the US RDA (recommended daily allowance) was established to rid the world of rickets, scurvey, beri-beri, etc… the diseases of malnutrition.  It was not […]

We will be offering this movie for free viewing, shortly after it becomes available on DVD (which is currently unknown).

In an article entitled, American Cancer Society – More Interested In Wealth than Health, Dr. Mercola states this: The 130-page document linked below explains in detail why the American Cancer Society may be far more interested in accumulating cash than curing any disease.  The ACS has close ties to the mammography industry, the cancer drug industry, and the pesticide industry.  It is riddled with conflict of interest. And in fact, according to the report, the ACS has a reckless, if not criminal record on cancer prevention. Over and over again, they have promoted drugs and screening while ignoring environmental causes. […]

Yes, you betcha!  I have a workout for the week for you.  This is for everyone in my office… at least I cannot think of anyone right now whom I should not put through this workout. So the point of this post is that I have a bunch of people who said that they want to increase strength, and become more fit this year.  So we are going to hit some of those goals through the occasional post of a workout.  This one, is really just to get your feet wet, and it is equally challenging for someone to do this […]

Dr. Levi Do you want to know why a flu shot doesn’t work?  This is why:               Do you see that little red slice at 2 o’clock?  That is the portion (7%) of “flu related deaths” that could possibly be prevented if the shot worked 100% in preventing death. But it’s not 100% in preventing flu . Not even close. Even it were, it still wouldn’t touch 93% of death cases. People over 65  account for over 90% of flu related deaths. 85% of those are over 75 years old.  This population is typically […]

So I went down to the basement with Brooke on Friday afternoon after I put Ansley down for her nap, and I started to search for a show on TV for her to watch.  When we turned the TV on, there was an infomercial on, which resembled a cooking show.  “Daddy, can I watch this for a little bit?”  I figured, why not, let’s see what they are up to. The product that was being sold, was kind of like a waffle maker without the waffling pattern.  It cooked by having two heated surfaces over the food, designed to cook […]

Libido in its common usage means sexual desire; however more technical definitions, such as those found in the work of Carl Jung, are more general, referring to libido as the free creative—or psychic—energy an individual has to put toward personal development or individuation. Within the category of sexual behavior, libido would fall under the appetitive phase wherein an individual will usually undergo certain behaviors in order to gain access to a mate. – from Wikipedia First off, this article will be fine for any age to read.  Secondly, though the definition is varied, the one I am going to be […]

So there has been a recent controversy where Whole Foods was involved with possibly supporting the de-regulation of the genetically modified alfalfa crop in the US.  The plan would allow for producers and distributors of alfalfa to mix, or allow co-existance, of organic alfalfa with genetically modified alfalfa. First, to shed some light on this situation, alfalfa is the fourth largest crop in the US, so though it might seem like something you don’t care about, it is a big deal in our country.  Also, a very interesting consideration is that the purpose of the GMO crop of alfalfa, is […]
