We all know about bullying, if not from personal experience, then from the press. And now the National Press is reporting on a study done at Queen’s University in Kingston that has found that “obese teenage girls are three times more likely to be bullies than the slimmer girls in their class”.
And when you think about it, it makes sense. Just think of how our society idolizes the thin and lean, especially when it comes to women. And then realize how persecuted the obese are, again, especially women.
One hit to their… Read More
Now let’s get serious. Losing 10 pounds of fat probably won’t result in us looking like the people in the picture to the left. But it will most likely result in you looking more fit than you are now.
And for the vast majority of us, we will actually be healthier and feel more alive.
There is a SAFE way to lose up to 15 pounds of fat in only
Where do I start? It’s not often that I get excited about something but this is one of those times.
So let’s be real. Many people are hesitant about getting a chiropractic adjustment to help with their headaches, back pain, migraines and more. And that is a real shame because Chiropractic Works, the Results Prove It!
For the last number of years… Read More
Reality has caught up to science fiction. That was inevitable I suppose. This one is right out of Stephen King’s book, The Stand. The U.S. government paid researchers to modify the Bird Flu virus, to see it they could make it more virulent and easier to spread. That is what happens in Stephen King’s book and the virus, which leaks out of the lab, is called by the public, Sgt. Trips referring to the fact that the army developed this bug.
And guess what? In the real world of today, 2011, they did it. How serious is this development you ask? The United States government has taken the unprecedented step in having the two labs that made this super flu virus keep the details a secret. Now that they have it, they are afraid that… Read More
Let’s call this post, the “Awful Truth”. A recent poll commissioned by the Vancouver Sun has said what we already thought but wouldn’t say out loud.
So here it is: “A new poll of 7,600 men has found that half of men would dump their girlfriend if she gained weight, according to the Vancouver Sun.”
Men: would you really dump your girlfriend for gaining weight?
Kim Kardashian has psoriasis. It is not supposed to happen to the "beautiful people". But is has happened to Kim and according to the story, and they say it is incurable.
Sorry, but I beg to differ. Psoriasis is a symptom in my books, a symptom of an overloaded liver and digestive system. Now the standard medical treatment is corticosteroid creams. Trouble is that it doesn’t address the cause and actually drives the toxins deeper into the body. Think of the skin as an organ of elimination. And it is. Have you ever worked up a sweat? You are detoxing when you sweat.
The main organs of elimination are the kidneys, liver and hence the large intestine. But when you are toxic, for whatever reason, the liver and kidneys fail to detox as well as they should so your body then uses either your lungs and/or your skin to eliminate toxins from your body.
Enough said. If you do have problems like Kim, start by avoiding the …Read More
At the Ultimate Detox workshop last week, Dr. Marcelle Forget gave a great example of how much toxicity is too much toxicity. The reason I am blogging about this is because most people, and I do mean most people purposefully ignore the 800 pound gorilla in the room when it comes to their health.
I have has some people say to me, they don’t do diets, they are only concerned about their health, not losing weight. And they slowly put on the pounds and develop all sorts of chronic diseases with time. Diseases such as arthritis, diabetes, cholesterol problems and on and on.
And others, in this case men, who proudly pat their protruding gut and say "bought and paid for".
I mentioned to a person the other day that they should check out our detox workshop. Their comment to me was that they didn’t worry about their weight, they looked after themselves, and on and on. The bottom line was that it was a hassle to take time, especially from a weekend, to look after themselves.
And that is so common, so many of us are looking for the easy way out, what ever takes the least amount of inconvenience. And I do understand that. Weekends are precious, and we don’t want to waste them.
Some things just seem to be a real inconvenience
I am proud to say that I’ve been gluten free since before Christmas. And I haven’t missed wheat and wheat products at all.
The other day, I was given a special "gluten free" brownie mix. And so we
made a batch. Oh they looked good. And they tasted even better.
Now I should know better, but I just went …

A short while ago my wife signed us up for automatic delivery of organic vegetables from some neihbouring farms. Every Wednesday they show up and leave
in a cooler (in our garage) that week’s bundle of goodies.
Now don’t get me wrong, I eat vegetables, but oh baby! , did these guys ever deliver a lot of vegetables. And what do you do? A few days go by and suddenly you realize that there is another delivery of organic vegetables coming soon.
