Another Movie Star Lost to Prostate Cancer: Dennis Hopper
In: Cancer
30 May 2010
As I get older, it seems like more and more movie stars pass away. I assume my perception is skewed because I’m simply more aware of the people that are passing away because of the personal memories that I have of their performances.
I remember like it was yesterday watching Easy Rider with my high school friends and thinking that Hopper and Fonda were so cool. Just the mention of the name Dennis Hopper brings back so many memories. I will miss him.
I get frustrated when someone dies from a disease like prostate cancer because I … Continue reading
Fibromyalgia is a pain…..literally. It has been described to me by sufferers as “arthritis on steroids”. The disease is not a killer, but it certainly makes life miserable for the six million people suffering from the disease in America.
Susan C. Eiguren, NC, provides a simple and good description of fibromyalgia and why it seems to “move around and cause pain everywhere” as follows:
” “Fibro” means connective tissue and “myalgia” means muscle pain. So fibromyalgia is a painful condition affecting the connective tissues of our muscles. If you… Continue reading

Weight loss….the multi-billion dollar industry, and the subject on the minds of so many of us!
When did the overweight condition get to be so rampant in our society? I remember as a child, that there were virtually no “fat” kids in school. Today, obesity is everywhere in Canada and the USA. In fact, childhood obesity has quadrupled in the last 20 years.
Television advertisements are telling us that there are 3 million Canadians with Type II diabetes, which means about 1 out of every 11… Continue reading

An alkaline diet is great… but is it enough?
In: Homeopathy
29 Apr 2009
If you are reading this, you are probably aware of the great work that is being done by people like Dr. Robert Young and Tony Robbins and others in regards to providing information about the importance of eating an alkaline diet. The authors are doing a wonderful job of informing the world (or those that choose to be informed) that Americans are eating their way to various different diseases and sickness. For example, the explosion in the number of cases of stage 2 diabetes is reaching near epidemic proportions in North… Continue reading

In order to lose weight effectively you have to be mindful of how much acid you consume. The body creates fat in order to trap and neutralize acid. So, if your diet consists of lots of meats, grains, tea, coffee, soft drinks and even acidic water, your body needs fat in order to stay alive! You won’t lose weight like you want no matter how much you work out!
If you’re like most people trying to lose weight, you’ve reduced your portion size or reduced calories – but if the… Continue reading
Studies have indicated that having acid reflux will not shorten your life expectancy, but it sure can make your life miserable.
Heartburn sufferers typically purchase over the counter products such as Tums or Rolaids or Gaviscon. Those products are basically calcium tablets and the relief that they provide is temporary, but any relief is welcome when an attack takes place. If the number or intensity of occurrences of heartburn increases, people typically end up at their doctor’s office to find a better solution. Doctors typically prescribe drugs such as Pantoloc, which is a calcium blocker which inhibits the amount… Continue reading

Achieving a more alkaline body for better health!
In: Homeopathy
6 Apr 2009Health issues used to be virtually the sole domain of doctors (especially in my house where my Dad was a doctor). Nowadays, people are slowly coming to understand that the best approach to health care is through self care. We all know by now that you are what we eat (as a former Big Mac, I would like to send out a special hello to my fellow drive through addicts). Unfortunately, knowing the facts and doing something about it is very different. Anybody that has found this blog is probably already aware that diseases thrive in an acidic environment, and can’t… Continue reading
