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.

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!

Life’s TOP 5 REGRETSDying patients, usually in their last few weeks of life, wrote about the top five regrets:
- The number of twins born in the United States has doubled in the last three decades largely as a result of fertility treatments, with one in 30 infants born in 2009 a twin, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said on Wednesday. (Reuters)
Wow, but that sounds like a real “Feel Good” story doesn’t it. In fact, I saw this older gentleman the other day at Canadian Tire and he had the cutest twin boys following him along, dressed in their Christmas pajamas under their snow suits. I said to him how cute his grand-kids looked. And that got me a funny look. “I’m not their grandfather, I’m their father” he replied.
Embarrassing or what. When I saw Marcelle and told her about this, she said she wasn’t surprised. Not because of my stupidity but that this was very common due to fertility procedures that are now common place.
And now Reuters confirms this with their story on twin births.
It is actually not a feel good story at all. This is another “Canary in the coal mine”

When it comes to a lack of ambition and no direction, today’s youth seem to have a strangle hold on this issue. Although what we define as youth keeps changing. From the teenagers whose favorite saying is “What ever” to the young adults who are discovering that they are not entitled to a good living.
As each generation grows up, it seems that the baby boomers had it best of all. Their parents had survived not just the Great Depression but World War II and the Korean War. The economy started on the greatest boom in the history of the world. Back then a high school diploma was a guarantee of a good job. And then the baby boomers grew up and suddenly you needed a college degree to get those good jobs. And now the children of the baby boomers are growing up and the goal posts have once again been moved.
There is no automatic job waiting for you just because you grew up in an affluent household. A high school diploma means
Have you ever had the feeling that life is passing you by?As middle age keeps on keeping on, I have noticed a growing trend in many clients. In fact, it is not just middle age clients who feel this way, I now see it in young adults as well as some who are into their golden years.
What I have seen is a deep desire to make sure that they do something with their lives, that they make a difference.
We can get trapped by life with all of its comforts and securities. A job that was never your dream job, but it was reliable and gave you security. A relationship that started as “less than the love of… Read More
Sugar, that staple of our modern diet is actually a very toxic substance. Who would have thought? Isn’t it one of the major food groups? Lets see, there is meat, vegetables, fruit, dairy and sugar. I’m pretty sure it goes like that. There is a blog that has gone viral that seems to be a totally new, and out of left field revelation to many people. It suggests that
