Ten Ways To Improve Your Memory
I don’t know about you, but I don’t have a computer-like memory that stores and retains like it used to, although there is hope. Just as we can strengthen any other muscle in our bodies, we can train our brains to remember more and learn anything faster. Here are 10 strategies that can effectively help your memory, improve recall, and increase retention of information. Drink water. This may sound really simple, but it is so important.

You Can Win Your Health Battle — If You Want To
I recently moved from California to Arizona, and the number of books and papers I'd saved over the years was enormous. I considered all of it essential, but much of it had go. I felt like I lost my best friends. Talk about stress! One treasure that survived the move was a 2003 press release from the Lewin Group [i] titled "New Study Finds Increased Multivitamin Use By the Elderly Could Save Medicare $1.6 Billion". Excerpt from the release: "While the evidence strongly supports the beneficial effects of multivitamins in improved immune functioning and a reduction in the risk of heart … Read more

Dueling With Diversity
We have all seen those ads for retirement villages. They always show photos of toned and smiling seniors, showing off their Hollywood hairstyles while indulging rounds of tennis, rousing board games, all the while grinning giddily into each other’s eyes. These photos depict a smidgen of cultural diversity, because everyone singing around the piano is welcome and feels right at home. Faces of different hues means that everyone is at ease and at a comfortable age, where we accept our differences as well as what we have in common. Right? Well, maybe not. Most of these people are models and … Read more

Politicians And Media Personalities Don’t Care If Women Look Stupid
Hey, there! Let me start with a dumb question: do you see a lot of scantily clad women on C-SPAN? Of course not. If women want to get anything done on Capitol Hill, they have to play by the rules! Then why don’t the same politicians that demand that we should all be able to wear whatever we want, identify as whatever we want, and be as outlandish as we want not actually do and wear the same things as those constituents they’re trying to please? You see, they’re playing politics. They’re pandering to outlandish celebrity influencers in order to get votes. On the inside, they actually know … Read more

COVID-19 may deplete testosterone, helping to explain male patients' poorer prognosis Over half of male patients studied were found to have lower than their normal testosterone levels. A study of patients hospitalized due to COVID-19 suggests that the disease might deteriorate men's testosterone levels. The study found that as men's testosterone level at baseline decreases, the probability for them to be in the intensive care unit (ICU) significantly increases. Survey finds American support for human-animal chimera research In September 2015, the US National Institutes of Health … Read more

The Covid Crisis And Control
I have a mask on which is printed, "It's not about health, it's about compliance". If you believe as I do that there is more to COVID than sickness and death, then you may be interested in watching this 2014 video by journalist Harry Vox. He's a very excitable young man, and I'd say, with good reason. He cites information from the Rockefeller Foundation as it relates to the COVID crisis and it is unsettling. You can read for yourself the info he cites that is in this link to the Rockefeller document, Scenarios for the future of technology and International Development The ultimate … Read more
