Tricks for Winter SkincareSkincare during the winter months is just as important as summer skin care. Whilst in the summer the emphasis of skincare is on sun protection, in the winter it is on intense moisturizing to avoid the dreaded "winter itch". Cold temperatures and exposure to the wintry elements can cause a host of problems for your skin. It is is prudent that skin is kept hydrated and moisturized through the coldest months of the year to...more
There is that urge to eat and indulge one's palate with food. Snacks are part of an individual's meal program. Not only does it include eating three times a day but it also includes snack time. One in the morning and one in the afternoon would usually be the routine. This kind of habit is usually common for individuals who have hectic and busy schedules. They would eat too early. Waiting for their next full meal would be a long waiting process....more
Fleas And Roaches - A Safer Alternate to Poison Some years ago, I hosted a talk show about health on a Palm Beach radio station. Someone called in, and wanted to know what to do about fleas, as she was violently allergic to the various poisons that people put on the back of the neck of their dogs. (A lot of dogs and cats don't like them either.)I had found solution years ago, and I told it to her. Purchase a large "squeeze bottle" type plastic bottle of Boric Acid. It's in a fine powder, and if you point the snout down and squeeze the sides, it comes out in a puff of fine powder. To start, vacuum the carpet(s) where your pets sleep, or, ideally the entire carpet in a house where all the floors are carpeted. After a thorough vacuuming, go around squeezing the boric acid in a cloud all over the carpet. You'll have to brush some of the excess into the carpet with your shoes, or a broom. It will take a week or so, but after that, even with outdoor cats and dogs, you will find very few, or no fleas. Boric Acid is virtually harmless, to children, and your pets, but deadly to most insects.Another thing that I discovered more recently, is a product sold at many health food stores. It's a...more
Resveratrol is an amazing new discovery that enormously extends life expectancy. A study in Burgundy France found the longevity of residents was 46% longer, in spite of a diet that consumed fats and other proven poor foods. It is believed that the resveratrol in the red wine grape skins, especially abundant in Burgundy, was the reason.There is...more
Bones define the very structure of your body. These constructs of protein, minerals, and collagen allow you to stand, walk, and resist gravity. They also serve as the body's principal storehouse for essential minerals. Most importantly, bones are living tissues that are helped or hurt by our everyday lifestyle choices as well as environmental...more
There's no thing as a corporation with a heart! No large corporation ever gave it's workers anything they weren't forced into by competition or unionization. That's a myth fostered by big corporations like Big Pharma etc. To Big Pharma, selling their products is much more important than killing a "few" customers. How dirty can you get? It isn't enough that drug companies use phony test reports to get their drugs approved by the FDA. And, Big Pharma has managed to get a majority of drug manufacturers workers on the FDA board that approves all new drugs! (Yes, the FDA, originally formed to protect us, now only protects Big Pharma in effect.) Nor, is it enough that they use more phony reports to fool consumers (and MD's) into believing that vitamins aren't needed. If that's so, why are drug companies all over the world trying to take over such? You know that supplements will increase in price if that happens!Did you know that third year medical school students get gifts and even money every month? Big Pharma also spends thousands of dollars every month on every MD in various forms ranging from outright bribery, to "free" samples. That's bribery, but it's spun again to look better....more
Only in the past few years have some Neurofeedback (NFB) clinicians worked with autistic children. Success has been rare. Few parents can afford the horrible cost, and few clinicians are willing to take on an autistic child, because of the...more

The following may come as a surprise to most people, including most medical doctors. Most mental disease is caused by unsuspected brain allergies!This fact was illuminated for me by Dr Marshall Mandell in the early 80's. He appeared on the Phil...more
OCD ran my life. Really, it controlled every aspect of the day. I would constantly check the door knob when leaving my house just to make sure the door was locked. Of course that was after already checking it 5 or 6 times.It's not the easiest...more
"Keep coming back, it works if you work it!" This is what is chanted at the end of every meeting, but what if you have "worked it" and you still keep going back and getting drunk or loaded? Now, most people in the program will say things like, "Well,...more
