While I was in medical school, I did research under a March of Dimes grant on MSG (monosodium glutamate), a common food additive. Back then, then damage we saw in rats was reversable IF you stopped giving it to them.

However the case against its use in man is mounting, including one that strongly suggest it has negative metabolic effects and leads to thyroid dysfunction and obesity.

“You are what you eat!”

As the health of Americans continue to decline, more and more information is being uncovered about how tainted our food supply is. It’s no wonder that disease and degeneration is RAMPANT in America. This has just got to stop!

I’ve always wondered what happened to all the road kill that’s out there. And now I know.

It isn’t a pretty picture.

We’ve all read about cattle being fed animal products; it was front page news. This led to the scourge of Mad Cow disease. However the rabbit hole goes deeper than that.

There has been a quiet storm rising.

Bottle water – it ain’t as good as it is crack up to be.
Billions of bottle are sold each year in the US alone. It is really BIG business now.

So isn’t bottle water SUPPOSED to be better? Not necessarily. In Houston, well, almost anything’s better than tap water. But that isn’t true across the country.

Inside these bottles has been found bacteria, chemicals and acidity. Plus the ecological burden of billions of plastic bottle pilling up in landfills have already caused one backlash. The mayor of San Francisco was so fed up with the problem that he BANNED the sale of bottled water in municiple buildings.

He is also aware that the landfills cannot dispose of them. They take over 1000 years to biodegrade and leach toxic chemicals into the ground water LONG before they degrade.

There is a major movement in America towards the concept of ‘wellness’. Other countries have accepted this as their baseline doctrine for thousands of years. Now we in the U.S. are moving towards a better understanding of it…and how to integrate it into our lives. But the question remains: “What is wellness”?

For a while there, we heard about it with seeming regularity. Then nothing! Whatever happened to what was being touted as potentially the biggest vector mediated threat to human existance? I was wondering that myself and revisited the pandemic flu map below. World Pandemic Map Unfortunately, it hadn’t been updated. Then I found the updated…

Well, someone has been VERY busy out there with comment spam.

So, until I can find a really good solution to stop it, I am turning off comments. Actually, if any are written, NONE will go through. Unfortunately, those who are doing it are using an automated program…so they will never SEE this message.
