Recently the BBC announced that detox diets are "useless" and your organs are perfectly able to cleanse the body without any active outside help. [http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-425739/Detox-diets-useless-say-researchers.html] Junk Science & Cleansing Your Body I am referring to the BBC "study" as junk science, but actually there wasn't much science to it at all.

An earlier post on this blog recommended against getting a flu shot and that recommendation against flu medications is apparently justified. The hands-down leader among flu drugs in the US is Tamflu and almost all flu this season is resistant to Tamiflu. According to the CDC in Atlanta, last winter 11% of the flu swabs […]

I found this interesting cough cure online yesterday. I have no clue if it works – and I REALLY don't want a cough so that I can test it!!! :-) – but if anyone out there does have a cough, give it a try and let the rest of us know. Thanks in advance … […]

Nothing we can ever ingest is better for our bodies than living foods. This makes perfect sense because the basic unit of the body – the cell – is alive and needs the energy and life force from living, raw food. When our food is cooked to death [literally!] then how can our cells gain […]

I’m beginning a serious detox right after Christmas, so I figure I might as well enjoy my gourmet coffees for the next couple of weeks. Starbucks gourmet coffee, that is. In fact, I have a gold card I’m such a fanatic. But I’m not going to kid myself about coffee and its health benefits (ha!) […]

If you’ve finally, FINALLY decided that it’s time to get in shape – and more importantly, get some ENERGY – then you should think about purchasing your own aerobic step equipment to use at home.
