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
