    It’s Not In Your Mind

    Remember when doctors told men that if they were having sexual problems, it was all in their heads? We know better now that what they said … 90 percent of it is in your head … was exactly wrong. It was more a result of the darn drugs the doctor was giving you.

    Now they’re doing a similar thing to women.

    Let me explain …

    A Teaspoon for a Lifetime

    Remember the red stuff your mom put on cuts and scrapes?

    It contained iodine, a mineral that kills germs. But iodine is more than just an antiseptic you put on your skin. It’s a trace element essential for life. A teaspoon is all you need in a lifetime, but most people in the U.S. are deficient.

    The tragedy is that many doctors don’t recognize iodine’s role in disease. You may suffer from chronic fatigue and hear “there’s no cure.” Your cholesterol or blood pressure is too high, and nothing short of drugs brings it down. Or the doctor tells you the cysts in your breasts or ovaries lead to cancer.

    You may have one of these things as a result of a simple iodine deficiency.

    This Modern “Health Food” May Be Poisoning Prisoners

    This Modern “Health Food” May Be Poisoning Prisoners

    Have you heard what’s going on in our prison system? If not, you’re in for a shocker. Turns out, the prisoners are suing their jailors.

    In January 2003, the diet of inmates in the Illinois prison system was drastically changed to include large amounts of processed soy protein. Soy replaced cheese, meat and flour in the prisoner’s diets.

    When their diet changed, the inmates got seriously ill with chronic and painful constipation, alternating with debilitating diarrhea. Sharp digestive pains and vomiting occurred after soy-based meals. Fainting, heart palpitations, and panic attacks were common. Skin rashes, acne, thyroid problems, brain fog, fatigue, weight gain, frequent infections, and depression were also present.

    Don’t Put This In Your Starbucks…

    Dear Reader, I stop by the Starbuck’s near our Wellness Center every now and then for my morning coffee. The other day I noticed they’d put some pamphlets on the checkout counter about how good their soymilk is for you. I’d like to share my thoughts on this with you. Many people think of soymilk [...]
