While shopping for used clothes at the local Salvation Army, an elderly woman struck up a conversation about how she liked the new price tagging system. The store staples small paper price tags to the waistline of pants and the neckline of shirts. In trying on pants, I scratched the back of my hand several [...]

For my birthday I started the 80/10/10 diet. I lasted about five days on that and ate a couple days of my customary diet. But I really wanted to change my eating habits, so I thought a fast was in order.
Fasting allows the body to live off its reserves instead going through the energy-intensive [...]

Do you suppose it’s possible for a fat, middle-aged woman with various aches and pains to grow younger and healthier? I think it is, and I’m going to do it. Now’s the time to put my natural hygiene principles into action.
As I approach my forty-ninth birthday, I’ve decided I’ve had enough with minor pains [...]

It’s 1:27 and I’m still in my bathrobe! My bathrobe is gross. I grabbed it from my dead neighbor. It’s white with flowers and stained from years of use.

I (sometimes) enjoy participating in discussion boards related to health and wellness. I love sharing things I’ve learned to help people recover from their diseases. I don’t always go about it the best way. I have my own hangups. I have the temerity to suggest that people are usually responsible for their illnesses. It’s akin [...]

Those who preach fear of germs today are the mental offspring of those who have preached fear of God, devil, hell, and heaven in the past. They do not know that the fear which they inculcate is more to be dreaded than the object of their warning. Fear does a thousand times more harm than [...]
