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 [...]

You’re an infant and you get an ear infection. The doctor prescribes antibiotics. The infection clears but reappears three months later. Another round of antibiotics. This goes on for a year or two. As an 8- and 9-year-old you have chronic bronchitis and headaches, which are treated with antibiotics and ibuprofen. You get the flu [...]

The current health paradigm proclaims “Sunshine reduces risk of some cancers” or “Vitamin D cures rickets,” or the most commercially popular “X compound in fruits and vegetables reduces risk of cancer.” You are bathed in this paradigm daily through newspapers, magazines, television and radio.

I am inspired by a book I read this weekend called The Fasting Diet: A Practical Five-Day Program for Increased Energy, Greater Stamina, and a Clearer Mind by Steven Bailey.

Summer hit hard here. Not a week ago I had the heater running most nights, because I tend to run cold and it’s chilly here in the Pacific Northwest. Two days ago I was absolutely sick of gloomy days oppressed by incessant cloud cover. But today I’m watering a wilting garden because it’s so hot. [...]
