The Anti-Aging Pill Science Ignores, But Why?
As a pharmacist who knows the "drug store business" inside out and upside down (I started working in my father's drug store at age ten), I can tell you that the pharmaceutical industry pretty much controls the world's health, and that's not a compliment. "Our prescription drugs are the third leading cause of death after heart disease and cancer in the United States and Europe." One would think that fact is a secret if we judge by the number of people obediently taking prescribed, potentially dangerous medications. Prescription medications, except for antibiotics, don't cure; they manage … Read more

Why is Blood Sugar Regulation Critical to Weight Loss?
Never in the history of humankind have we had an emergency need to lower blood sugar. The chronic high levels of blood sugar create an epidemic of diabetes and obesity, which lead to other health problems like high blood pressure, high triglycerides, insulin resistance, and insomnia. I've been a proponent of eating low carb for many years. I have an excellent understanding of how elevated blood sugar slows weight loss. Most foods high in carbs will elevate blood sugar levels and keep them elevated. More critical, insulin levels also increase, telling the body to store your food as fat. As … Read more

It’s Your Fault I’m No Longer A Christian!
The pundits’ voices played as white noise in the background—until one of them said she’d left Christianity because people claiming to be Christian didn’t behave as she thought they should. She didn’t give specifics as to what she meant, but it stung, partially because she had a point—but only partially. I asked God’s forgiveness for myself and others who either don’t represent Him properly in this world as faithfully as we might—as yet—or have never been taught how to do so according to His Word (an egregious, rampant fact), and I asked for His help. Here’s what followed. Contrary to … Read more

Zooming Along Together!
I am a troublemaker. Self-appointed, sometimes a committee of one, born and bred to pursue my craft as a troublemaker. Now, wait, before you assume that I am a person who incites or participates in social unrest, I am not that woman. Still, I will admit to inciting and encouraging seniors to make (as a worker for justice once said ) “good trouble.” The trouble of a good kind means to remain relevant, informed, and on top of things. We cannot lie down and become complacent when so many exciting things are happening around us. We have to jump in and get our feet wet if we don’t want to be … Read more

Want a longer, healthier life? Resolve your arguments by day's end A recent study found that when people feel they have resolved an argument, the emotional response associated with that disagreement is significantly reduced and, in some situations, almost entirely erased. Cannabis legalization and link to increase in fatal collisions Legalization of recreational cannabis may be associated with an increase in fatal motor vehicle collisions based on data from the United States, and authors discuss the implications for Canada in an analysis in CMAJ (Canadian Medical Association … Read more
The COVID Situation: The Beat Goes On
I continue to harp on the COVID situation because it's more than a health issue. It is profoundly political and used as the means to an end -- the entry of the U.S. into a controlled global system with fewer controllable inhabitants. As far-fetched as that sounds, that's the plan. The information provided is not intended to frighten but to inform. If you have been vaccinated, please don't panic. Support and maintain the health of your immune system and supplement with Vitamin D. If you don't open any other link in the list, watching the video below is a must, especially if CNN is your … Read more
