You can if you believe you can!
Regenerative medicine is here. Do you believe we can regrow limbs and missing parts? You bet. Watch this Pop!Tech video: http://poptech.org/popcasts/PopCasts.aspx?viewcastid=224 It will get better as we BELIEVE it will get better. People will do whatever they BELIEVE they can do! That’s the medicine I’ve given my last 38 years to. The spirit has power [...]
Are You Longing To Make Up and Get Back With That Person?
Years ago, I went through a TERRIBLE divorce experience. Looking back, I think I was mentally ill for many years. It didn’t seem that way, but I do remember colleagues kept calling me and saying “Are you SURE you’re OK?” They knew I wasn’t. Things seemed to go through many stages: the classic denial and [...]
Maggot therapy. Are you kidding me?

So I’m right along there with Nature! Her bounties spread beyond the table. It turns [...]

Last night my wife and I watched a TV film in the great British detective series “Midsomer Murders”. It stars John Nettles as Detective Inspector Tom Barnaby, has fabulous creepy music each episode and makes an English village seem a very dangerous place to live. They are now up to the 12th season and there [...]
Is Kanglaite for cancer a miracle or just Pharma hype?
If you haven’t heard already, you will soon come across a new anti-cancer therapy called Kanglaite. It’s manufactured in China and is pushed by incredible hype and fanfares as a “proven” and “miracle” cure. But we’ve been there before, haven’t we? When commercial interests get on the bandwagon, the inconvenient matter of truth and integrity [...]
