By Dr. Mercola Cannabis is a vastly underutilized therapeutic option that has been wrongly vilified by U.S. regulatory agencies. In this interview, Dr. Margaret Gedde, a Stanford-trained pathologist and award-winning researcher, discusses the therapeutic value of this plant. While initially focused on the conventional medical model, Gedde eventually transitioned over to holistic, drug-free health care in 2004. At present, she runs an alternative medical practice in Colorado, the home of medical marijuana, as it was one of the first states to widely legalize and apply it. Gedde specializes in the use of cannabis, especially for the use of pain, thereby … Continue reading →

Sally Fallon Morell has written a new book, published last month, titled Nourishing Fats: Why We Need Animal Fats for Health and Happiness. In a smoothly flowing 182 pages, she shows why saturated fat and cholesterol are not the villains they are made out to be. Parents of infants and young children will be drawn first to Chapter 8, “Remember the Little Ones: Why Children Need Animal Fats.” Beneath this title in the table of contents she writes: “Children need animal fats for normal growth and the development of their brains.

The non-partisan in theory can observe political events neutrally, whereas a partisan tends to view matters from a particular perspective. Q. Did you vote in the last American election. A.

Less than six months ago, the eyes of the world were on the huge Olympic stadiums in Rio. Billions of dollars were spent on bringing the flagship sporting event to Brazil, with the overall cost estimated to be around $12billion. This was at a time when the Brazilian economy was in a huge recession, and state workers were being paid late, if at all. But now the Olympic legacy lies in ruins, new photos have revealed, with arenas crumbling and already falling into disrepair. In the aquatics centre, which was built as a temporary structure for the Games, the pool … Continue reading →

C-SPAN released another presidential ranking over the weekend, their first since 2009, and predictably many of the worst abusers of executive power found their name at the top of the list—Lincoln, FDR, TR, Truman, LBJ, Obama, Wilson—while those that expressed some fealty to the Constitution are typically buried in the bottom half. Some of this was undoubtedly due to the methodology. The 122 historians surveyed were asked to rank the presidents based on the following criteria: “Public Persuasion,” “Crisis Leadership,” “Economic Management,” “Moral Authority,” “International Relations,” “Administrative Skills,” “Relations with Congress,” “Vision/Setting An Agenda,” “Pursued Equal Justice for All,” and … Continue reading →

I think it is something of a miracle that despite the passing of some two thousand five hundred years, we are able to read words that reach out to us, words that not only move us, but make us to think about the most profound aspects of being human; I speak of the Ancient Greek play Antigone by Sophocles. Despite the centuries that separate us from the playwright, there is an immediacy in his magnificent words that haunt us still. And even if we cannot read the original language in which the play was written, there are powerful translations available … Continue reading →
