I remember reading the writings of John Muir years ago in which he talked about observing the behavior of people in Yosemite National Park.  They would arrive from cities around the country and Muir noted many of them were less than sane and rational.  The longer they stayed in the park, however, the more of [...]

Bumble bees have been vindicated.  Recently it was proven they really can fly.  Prior to that, according to the laws of aerodynamics, it was considered impossible for bumble bees to fly.  They have a body that is too big and heavy for its small wings, which also move too slow to keep it in the [...]

Aspirin has been called "the miracle drug" because of all its benefits, and new ones seem to surface almost weekly.  It is touted to be so fantastic that people are told to take one every day, almost as if it was some super vitamin or health food.  Can this synthetic drug really be this great [...]

Did you know that the U.S. leads the world in psychiatric illness and chronic degenerative disease?  I firmly believe that the two are related as the causative factors can be the same.  The SAD (Standard American Diet) is unhealthy and promotes a sick population.  It is a product of corporate irresponsibility and with the help [...]

Behavioral problems can be the first sign of nutritional deficiencies caused by an inadequate diet.  The brain must have steady levels of glucose to function normally.  Low blood sugar problems can starve the parts of the brain responsible for learning and social and moral behavior.  The energy gets shunted to the brain stem when glucose [...]

Actually, it’s beyond insane.  In this limited space, I am going to quickly get to the point.  Irradiating food kills it – meaning it turns live food, full of nutrients and enzymes, into a dead product.  Passing this off as being a necessary health measure, to protect the public, has got to rank at the [...]

1.    Think About What Energizes You.   Your thoughts create your life and have a lot to do with your energy level.  Why not think thoughts that are filling your tank up?  This takes some discipline, but it is well worth it.  Forget about reading newspapers and watching the nightly news.
 
2.    Do Not Take Life So [...]

Most people have areas in their lives where they are sleepwalking.  They are not fully conscious, hence they are susceptible to the hypnotic trends of society and other external influences that are not necessarily in the individual’s best interest.  Only when we are truly awake can we be cognitively clear enough to make choices that [...]
