The new year is upon us and with it is the desire to get the year started off on the right foot. For a couple weeks now patients have been asking me “should I do a colon cleanse?”, “how can I detox my body?”, “what is the best diet for losing weight for the new […]
You Are Perfect. One of my patients asked for an upbeat article for Christmas. I figured what could be more upbeat than to communicate just how perfect each and every one of you are. Many of you have heard me say this in the past, but rarely do I have the chance to explain how […]
Well the holidays are upon us. I hope all of you had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I have heard from a few of you that you were actually out there at 4 in the morning for the Black Friday sales. Some good bargains were to be found, but 4am is waaaaaay to early for me. For […]
Wow! I just spent last weekend at a long and intense seminar on Brain Neuro-degeneration – that means dying brain cells.

We stayed in a safari tent on a hillside overlooking a paddock occupied by several giraffes and antelope. The tent may look solid, but the thin […]
Welcome to the mid-September issue of my newsletter. Has anybody noticed the Christmas decoration displays out already? Whoa, I wasn’t ready for that one. I might start keeping my eye out for presents in October and November, but worrying about Santa Claus lawn decorations the day after Labor Day is pushing things just a bit […]
