To everything there is a season, and this is my season of rut. Or rather, being in a rut
My usual routine is to get up in the morning, make a cup of green tea with a squirt of lemon, and read my emails and blogs to which I subscribe. I’ve recently joined several [...]

I watched Avatar today at the theater in 3D. What a show! This is a movie that no fan of sci-fi or fantasy should miss.
Humans are hoping to mine a rare and extremely valuable ore from the moon Pandora, which is inhabited by a species called Na’vi who are 12 feet tall, blue skinned, and [...]

The Long Drive to Warwick
I went to Warwick, New York, to spend Thanksgiving with my niece, Reagan, and her family. I haven’t seen her in 11 years. She was 21 when I last saw her, and now she’s a grown woman with a husband and two young girls.
The drive took about 6-1/2 hours. Much [...]

I paid a visit to the Erie Veterans Hospital yesterday because I’ve been getting dizzy. I’ve been getting dizzy since 1991 or so, but it usually occurred only three or four times a year. A couple days ago I got dizzy four times in 24 hours. Cause for alarm.
The type of dizziness I get can [...]

I tried 80/10/10 and realize this diet will just not work for me. A mainstay of the diet is bananas–as much as 10 to 12 at a meal–in order to get enough calories for the day. I’m just not a fan of bananas. The most I could eat was five.

(I’m warnin’ ya. This is a long one.)
I’ve been interested in what makes for health for a long time. And I’ve been so blessed to have found and studied the tenets of natural hygiene. Natural hygienists have been studying health for almost 200 years while allopaths have been studying disease. If you’re a fan of [...]
