In the face of the panic button that has been pushed around the swine flu and its potential implications, it would be wise to consider that the past doesn’t have to repeat itself, and in spite of all the stress-inducing alarmist hype, our worst fears don’t have to happen, and most often do not. The dictum to “remember the past…

Pandemics, Contagion, and the 'Zone of Flu'
Pasadena, CA — News stories reporting the outbreak and spread of swine flu in Mexico and the U.S. are breaking out like, well, a virus. The public is being “warned” and put “on alert” about what some feel may become a pandemic. The literal meaning of “pandemic,” from its original Greek, is all people. However, the alarm is more significant…

While I have written two of the greatest books rarely to be read (I Am My Body, NOT! is one), the following quotation is as relevant today as it was when I first wrote it over 12 years ago. The People of the United States are creativity and innovation standard setters of the world because freedoms of speech and trade…

It was a beautiful, sunny day when I left Phoenix for Santa Fe, NM yesterday — this is a sight I had to capture as I drove through the town of Holbrook. They were at a rock shop on the town’s main drag. But snow is the key word for my experience now. Below is a picture of my trusty…
Read MoreKeys to Health: Misplaced but Not Lost
Since I started my radio show, Talk for Food, I’ve met many extraordinary people, whom we’ve recognized as kindred, and friends. We’re all extraordinary, and when I say “we,” I’m not referring to “me and my friends,” but all of humanity. You are extraordinary, as well as that man or woman down the street, or that group you think is…
Read MoreThe ABC's of Structured Water
We continue turning our attention to water in general, and structured water in particular, as a factor in the human health matrix. Water is central to any detox program, with structured water being key. This factor is often overlooked, since all water looks alike, and we often tell ourselves that drinking other liquids, from teas, to bottled water, to “energy…

Living clay. It can be used topically. It can be used internally. It can be sprinkled on your granola, or included in a smoothie. It can be added to soups or stews. In each case, using certain living clays will do something that is naturally beneficial for your body. How beneficial? How about drawing toxins to itself like leeches suck…
Read MoreDe-hydration, Structured Water, and the Abatement of Disease
The importance of hydration cannot be overstated. The role of dehydration as a factor in the onset of an entire spectrum of disease pathologies, is grossly understated. While the makers of Viagra proudly boast that 20 million men have now used the little blue pill, no one is telling us that replenishing the body’s supply of water could have achieved…

BOOKS & MEDIAWERKS February 27, 2009 President Barack Obama The White House Washington, DC Dear Mr. President, It is noble of you to want to ensure that adequate health insurance coverage is available to all citizens by proposing a plan that would eventually cover the estimated 48 million Americans who are currently without it. HOWEVER, in choosing this particular strategy,…
Read MoreStimulus Alert: NOT the System, but Health Itself
VANCOUVER, BC — For many millions of Americans and members of other nations who subscribe to Western Medical orthodoxy, the value of the term “health care” has shrunk even more precipitously than that of the American dollar, almost to the brink of meaninglessness. According to an Associated Press story, President Obama is poised to present a health care overhaul plan…
Read MoreA New Understanding of Water
I am presently reading Your Body’s Many Cries for Water, by Dr. Freydoon Batmanghelidj (1931-2004), a book that was referred to me almost a year ago that I finally got around to. I’m really attempting to read about ten books at once, but this one and How We Heal by Douglas W. Morrison have the bulk of my reading attention…
