ENERGY, more commonly lack of energy, is one of the most frequent complaints that I hear. Unfortunately, there is not one pill, or one answer that applies to everyone. Every cell in our body is ALIVE with electric energy that comes from the right balance of minerals, fluids, vitamins and other nutrients. If we don’t have the right balance of nutrients in our bodies, we don’t just shrivel up and die, we adapt. Our bodies have incredible wisdom in each cell that allows us to still function even without optimum fuel (nutrition). Without the RIGHT NUTRIENTS, the body has to … Continue reading →
We’re becoming the generation of sitters. We sit at work, we sit at home, we sit in our cars, on benches, chairs, and just about anywhere we sit. But all this sitting is shortening our lives and putting our health at serious risk. Seniors, in particular, are sitting the majority of their days, and the means to move around may be limited. But if you want to live longer and healthier, it just takes two minutes. Previous research on seniors and sitting reported that even though they may be active, the amount of time they sit is enough to negate … Continue reading →
OK. Magnanimity in victory is a sine qua non among civilized men and women, so let me not be the first to rub it in. Last week I wrote that I feared the worst and felt sorry for Britain. I was convinced throughout the campaign that a certain testicular fortitude was missing on the part of the voters, and that David Cameron would be vacating 10 Downing Street. But not for the first time I was proved wrong. The only testicular fortitude missing was when Ed Balls lost his seat. So now we’ll have five more years of furious lefty … Continue reading →
It’s official. Republicans in the House and Senate have finally agreed on a new budget resolution for fiscal year 2016. There is not a lot you need to know about the new Republican budget, so in this brief article I aim to tell you everything you need to know. First, a little review. According to the Budget and Accounting Act of 1921, the president must annually submit a budget to Congress by the first Monday in February. Because the government’s fiscal year runs from October 1 to September 30, the budget submitted in February is actually for the next fiscal … Continue reading →
Hustlers and people with little understanding want us to believe that today’s black problems are the continuing result of a legacy of slavery, poverty and racial discrimination. The fact is that most of the social pathology seen in poor black neighborhoods is entirely new in black history. Let’s look at some of it. Today the overwhelming majority of black children are raised in single female-headed families. As early as the 1880s, three-quarters of black families were two-parent. In 1925 New York City, 85 percent of black families were two-parent. One study of 19th-century slave families found that in up to … Continue reading →
As the financial crisis of 2008 took shape, the policy recommendations were not slow in coming: why, economic stability and American prosperity demand fiscal and monetary stimulus to jump-start the sick economy back to life. And so we got fiscal stimulus, as well as a program of monetary expansion without precedent in US history. David Stockman recently noted that we have in effect had fifteen solid years of stimulus – not just the high-profile programs like the $700 billion TARP and the $800 billion in fiscal stimulus, but also $4 trillion of money printing and 165 out of 180 months … Continue reading →
Seymour Hersh’s report on the killing of Osama bin Laden makes Americans wonder whether their government is lying to them about other events, Ron Paul and Daniel McAdams stressed. Some influential US policy-makers have rushed to dismiss the report of American investigative journalist Seymour Hersh who published new relevations on the death of al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, due to the fact that Hersh is challenging the government explanation of what happened, emphasized Ron Paul, a former Republican congressman and two-time US presidential candidate. “I think the goal is mostly to discredit him [Seymour Hersh] and he is not an easy person to discredit because he is challenging … Continue reading →

Imagine a dystopian future in which the life-expectancy of human beings has plummeted from about 70-80 years to around 20 years. Prior to the Industrial Revolution, life expectations at one’s birth averaged 30-35 years, with the death rate among children under the age of five reaching almost 75% by the mid-18th century. During the Industrial Revolution, the population in England sharply increased, leading many to wonder as to the causes. As the deaths of children decreased to just under 32% in the early 19th century, it became evident to intelligent minds that there might be a correlation between the liberty … Continue reading →
Dozens of articles have been published in the last few weeks, glorifying the removal of vaccine exemptions. The state of Vermont, whose state motto is, “Freedom and Unity,” voted 85 to 57 to remove the state’s philosophical exemption. Other states under heavy fire are California, New Jersey, Connecticut and Maine. Why should we have to fight so hard to protect our children and our own body from medical tyranny? But the introduction of the Vaccinate All Children Act of 2015 by Congresswoman Frederica S. Wilson (FL-24) has really got me going. My biggest concern is a sneak attack, like the introduction of … Continue reading →
