Years ago I heard about making “rice” out of cauliflower. My first thought was why? Why would I want to make rice out of cauliflower when I could make rice out of rice? I was already making an awesome cauliflower mash that had replaced mashed potatoes, mostly because I didn’t really like potatoes. But I […]
I was whining to Ellen the other day “Why is it that everything that tastes good is bad for us?” I have had this perception many times in the past, but this time I followed up on it. I mean seriously, everything I read these days highlights the dangers of one food after another, at […]
I just spent last weekend at a seminar on brain aging and brain development in the young. These two subjects were put together because the undeveloped brain of an infant or young child has a lot of similarities to the degenerated brain function as one ages and goes into dementia. We begin life as a […]
As I started researching rejuvenation techniques associated with fasting in preparation for the booklet I am writing outlining how to rejuvenate your body, I kept running across references to plant lectins as serious disruptors of our health. The average person has heard about lectins from the books by Dr. Peter D’Adamo like “Eat Right for […]

Several have even reported being able to stop using their medical pain relief drugs, which is what I was hoping for. Prescription pain relief drugs are the number one form of opiate drug abuse in America with over 2.1 million […]
Most of the health issues I write about really come down to the impact of inflammation on our various body tissues. While inflammation is a vital function of the body to help us fight infection and heal from injury, too much inflammation or inflammation when it is not needed destroys our health and well being. […]
One of the delightful things we did while I was down visiting family in San Diego was to get up each morning and do a little Tai Chi/Yoga type movement. Normally I run Ellen through a whole set of exercises each morning to help with her recovery, but I rarely have the time to do […]
While I was on vacation visiting my family in San Diego, I came across a fascinating article on increasing lifespan by restricting AGEs – Advanced Glycation End Products. (Yes, its true, even on vacation I am doing research.) Why should you care? Because AGEs are what you get when you eat BBQ and bacon and […]
