People are starting to bandy about the detox word more and more these days, yet when I ask them what detox actually means they generally have no idea. They know it means doing some sort of special diet and maybe something else like taking special cleansing herbs. But that seems to be about the extent […]
We live in a truly wonderful age for reasons we completely take for granted, like sewers and garbage service. Turn the clock back just a couple hundred years and your typical London home had a cesspit beneath the house that, when full, would then flow into a trough in the middle of the street and hopefully flow […]
The theme for the beginning of the new year is detoxification. I wrote about many simple ways to engage detoxification two weeks ago using diet. I wanted to make sure everyone had time to get rid of all the junk food in the house and to stock up on plenty of leafy green vegetables and […]
The New Year is almost upon us. That means the socially obligatory sugar and carb feasting is finally over. Most of us have had too many simple carbs and sugars over the last couple months and it has played havoc with our metabolisms, even if we are not feeling it. Even if you have been divinely good, this […]

Poisons, poisons everywhere. I have written many articles on the huge variety of poisons in our food, water, air, and living environments. We have considered diet changes, water purification, air cleaners, and a host of replacement products for the toxic ones sold at the stores to clean our houses and selves with. But the truth is, […]
When I first got the idea to move to my present location, everyone who looked at the spot thought I was crazy. The building was in such bad condition that most folks thought I should just demolish the existing building and start over. I didn’t have the funds to do anything quite that ambitious, but […]
The holidays are past and the New Year has started. It is time to clean up our act once again. Most of us indulged in fattening foods, inflammatory foods, and just plain poisonous foods sometime over the last two months. The short days have slowed down our metabolism and the toxins have built up in […]
Last newsletter I wrote about taking out the trash. The trash I was talking about was the metabolic toxic waste our body is constantly producing just by being alive. Some of these wastes are so toxic that if our release of them is delayed even a few minutes, we will die. In this case I […]
