When I was young, there was saccharin. Sugar Twin was the brand name and came in little pink packets. Then came the push for a new artificial sweetner, with commercials that claimed that it was made from natural ingredients.

That was more than stretching the truth.

The blue packets and tubes seem here to stay. One of the neurophysicists I worked with told me 2 decades ago that his research indicated that aspartame was a neurotoxin and advised that it

Today, I received a link from one of my Canadian friends who recalled our last conversation a few weeks ago regarding threats to our health due to nutrient deficient and genetically altered foods.  She stated that one of her good friends sent it to her…and that she was shocked by the film and thought I’d appreciate it. There isn’t an easy way to introduce this film except to say, "Watch it…then you decide. "

This is part 4, 5 and 6 of the documentary movie called, Esoteric Agenda. There are currently

I’m a big fan of back massage. I learned how to give them growing up,  practicing on each of my four brothers…although they rarely returned the favor.

Massaging is my favorite way of easing the tension of

From the guy who brought you the documentary, Super Size Me, comes the  McDonald’s experiment.  He asks this question:

Jack’s back…and he wants to be in politics!

Dr. Jack Kevorkian became famous due to his notoriety regarding the topic of dying with dignity, but became infamous for assisted suicides - about 130 in all. Unfortunately for him, one of those landed him in the big house.

Well, Jack is out of prison, a free man, sorta (he’s still on parole) and he has his

Some of you are aware that I have been recuperating from an injury that took out my ability to walk nearly 2 years ago. Since that time, I’ve graduated from wheelchair to walker, then to crutches…and finally off them about 10 months after the initial injury.

Walking without crutches was a big feat. Climbing stairs and running has been the biggest challenge. Just the stairs issue alone has

A new report today from the Associated Press revealed an alarming finding:  numerous pharmaceutical drugs in drinking water - your municipal drinking water.

41 Millions Americans are estimated to be exposed.

The type of drugs found? Pain meds (tylenol, motrin), seizure drugs, mood stabilizers, steroids, cholesterol and asthma meds, and even antibiotics and drugs that treat mental illness showed up on analysis.

The worse city cited in the article?

It all started with the egg - Eggland’s Best eggs. This was  the first push for mainstream suppliers to address the  problem that was being discussed and brought to light - that  is the plight of the chicken, especially chemical chickens.

At that time, the inhumane treatment of chickens was being  spotlighted in the news and concern was raised about eating

I’ve been reading the discussion about my previous article on the dangers of microwave ovens and how I believe they are very bad for your health. It’s interesting how some people justify their continued use of them by stating that there is no definitive proof that they are bad!

One guy even stated that there are no studies that SHOW that they are bad for people…and until he saw one, he
