This holiday weekend perhaps you will indulge in a popular summer treat, strawberry shortcake. Actual strawberries supply fiber and a great many vitamins, minerals and plant anti-oxidants. These nutrients feed not only our own cells, but also our important gut microorganisms (probiotics). On the other hand, synthetic strawberry flavor, which is composed of 50+ chemicals* […]
On last week’s show Howard Garrett and I only scratched the surface in talking about the problems with the weed killer Roundup®. So, I wanted to review here for those who might not have heard the program and give a little more information to those who did. What is it? Roundup® is the world’s most […]
In-depth reporting without inherent bias and sensational overtones seems to become rarer by the day. I’d like to provoke a little alternative thinking on the proposed female libido drug and views on other news: • Proposed approval of a libido drug for women.

Premature aging, pain, fatigue and serious diseases are caused or at the least worsened by certain effects of modern living. The far infrared (FIR) sauna is a wonderful tool for reversing much of that damage. It is also recommended for helping with a host of health issues–everything from Asthma and Fibromyalgia to Cardiovascular health and Weight […]

The drugs so far do not seem to make any meaningful improvement and some, like those aimed at removing plaque from the […]
Think PMS doesn’t concern you because you’re a guy or too old? Think again. Even if you don’t have a friend or relative that is bothered by it, some of the up to 150 symptoms of PMS affect 80% of American women who deal with PMS sometimes for decades. One or more of them may […]
As you have probably heard, the World Health Organization and some U.S. government authorities recently recommended a change in the official dietary guidelines. They have backed off of making fats the villain (finally!) and are suggesting that folks cut back on sugar and refined flours (finally!). The studies have been piling up for decades, but […]
Let’s call her Betty. She was excited about her planned trip to Florida to be with one of her daughters for Mother’s Day. That was until a 6 PM urgent call from her cardiologist’s office insisting on seeing her the next day. Of course, anxiety ensued and the flight to Florida was cancelled. Betty and […]
