Poisons, poisons everywhere. I have written many articles on the huge variety of poisons in our food, water, air, and living environments.

One of the benefits of my new lease Subaru is a few months of free Sirius XM satellite radio. I have had the radio set to 50’s on 5, so I have been listening to music from the 50’s for the last two months. I never heard any of this music when I was young […]
