Spheres of Consciousness in Matters of Health and Healing
Anyone who is on a regimen of prescription medication is aware of the dangers of drug interactions. This is where a substance affects the activity of a drug, or vice versa. There can be an amplifying or diminishing of effect or an entirely new effect that neither the drug, nor the substance, would produce on their own. Interactions are typically…
Read MoreSicko Was Great, but Bring On Sicko II!
Michael Moore’s new movie, Sicko, is a GREAT first step, in which he focuses public attention on the “Health Care” industry in America.

As such, the Food and Drug Administration…

A GETAWAY FOR THE SOUL Patagonia, Arizona — The “tree of life” is a term mostly associated with the Jewish system of Kabballah, whose literal interpretation means, “Received tradition.” According to its Wikipedia entry, the tree of life “is a tree in the Garden of Eden whose fruit gives everlasting life, i.e. immortality.

I received the following comments from newHoosier, who took exception to my position in my recent Sham Alert article about lobbying efforts by Merck Inc. to institute mandatory inoculations of their drug Gardasil as a preventive measure for HPV and cervical cancer.

“Is This Thing On?!” My first run as a radio host was fun! During the first few minutes I felt awkward, but Ondré, Open Mind Network’s founder, was also present, and stepped in as “sidekick” to stimulate conversation.
