Mission Statement ... OF DELIGHT

Back in the olden days of yore (2005), I was pretty convinced that moderately-priced healthy food didn’t exist and couldn’t be made, at least by me. My weight had yo-yoed a few times at that point, and it always seemed like Skinny Kris coincided very strongly with Broke Kris.See, Skinny Kris liked sushi and roasted eggplant spread. She preferred full-price pork tenderloin over on-sale pork chops, and a nice slab of jamillion-dollar fresh tuna over both. Skinny Kris thought nothing of blowing $5.09 on a 16-oz light smoothie from Jamba Juice when there was a perfectly good $0.35 cent banana over at the fruit cart. Financially, Skinny Kris sucked it.When Skinny Kris started running out of money, she became Heavier Kris, who hoovered up bargain fries and plowed through cheapo lo mein like the...

Moral Imperatives

It seems that G W Bush believes that stem cell research is morally wrong when it involves embryos. Scientific research has used embryos in many forms throughout the years, with little outcry.But then the government has experimented on people throughout it's history and I guess it depends on who thinks they are the decider.Daily we are slaughtering our own people who are dispatched by order to fight the fabricated war currently raging in Iraq and elsewhere in the Middle East.We are killing innocents in these countries as well.Now we learn that Iraqi orphans are moved "better quarters" but they are in a state of emaciation.Someone explain this brand of morality to me plea...

REAL ISSUES AND TORT REFORM

There are days when I think it is almost time for me to quit. Either someone finally brings up an issue I've addressed long ago, or I am dealing with newbies who address items on a superficial level yet think they are the 'expert'.While for some I may be a high-priced consultant from out-of-town, for most I am not. It's just that you really do have to get beyond the hype and propaganda to know what is going on under-the-spin.AND JUSTICE FOR ALL? DEBUNKING THE MYTH OF LAWSUIT ABUSE by Jason ZaskyAny individual who has firsthand experience with the court system will tellyou how costly and time-consuming it is to bring a lawsuit, and how difficult itis for the average American to get justice in court, especially if the defendantis a deep pocketed corporation.

What we've complained about for years

I guess you might have to say that this is a window into a concenr I've addressed for years. Yes, many of us have known for a long time that Barrett is truly the 'Quack' of quack watch, and now the courts have pointed this out again.To the many people in mainstream medicine and the media that cling to Barrett as 'the authority'maybe now you will start to pay attention to those of us who are truly qualified experts in natural health care.In addition, perhaps the media and others (those superficial researchers dabbling in the false category called CAM) will look to those like me when they are interested in facts and the science behind natural health care.This might now extend to the US presidential hopefuls claiming to have a health care plan proposal - none addressing right of choice and access...

Dr. Zorba is out to lunch

Well don't I wish!Probably not a week goes by that I don't come across some really bad - and WRONG - information given out by this radio doctor aired on your local public radio station.Calling my station recently about one of the pieces of 'wrong information' doled out by Paster, the program director brusquely pushed me off to his program.I explained that I had contacted the program a number of times about the pablum dosed out by Zorba, with not even the courtesy of a reply. KPBX couldn't care less.Well just the other day Zorba disrupted my air ways because I forgot to switch stations as I was in the middle of a project. Here he was telling a mother who had called in about her daughter, herself and allergy remedies.This mother had chosen a good remedy, Nettle. Nettle is one of the best...

Here you have some science to counter the HYPE

Most people know little about the two key players in the artificial sweetener market, aspartame and sucralose.What they do know is more likely than not limited to the marketing and advertising HYPE blasted over the airwaves, online or in print. What they buy into is really a long known health dive, and the risk of very serious problems over time. In some, the problems can and do appear almost immediately.Aspartame and sucralose (Nutrasweet and Splenda)have in common the fact that both were developed as insecticides. Very few know this, including your local health care provider.Aspartame is a chemical soup of ingredients that turn into methyl (wood) alcohol when exposed to heat and during digestion.Sucralose is, according to the Splenda International Patent A23L001-236 and PEP Review #90-1-4...
