Unless you are sick, you may never associate yourself with any form of medication. Different illnesses are treated differently. In the same light, there are different types of pain.

Some time ago I posted an article on Water/ Hydration on a site called Qondio, and this is an updated version of that article. How often are we told how important water is to us, and how often do we tell ourselves that we really should drink more water!! And yet in most instances we simply do not do so. Why, our busy lifestyles, the Western habit of eating and drinking on the run rather than the more social 'sitting and sharing of a meal' and the accompanying fluids that many cultures follow, and often simply because other 'things' taste better than water.!

Recently, I was working with a local contractor, who was commenting about the performance of my employees. Since this was already a sore point with me, it didn’t take much to get me on the complaining track. After about 15 minutes, I had to stop. A stray thought flitted through my mind and for an instant I knew that there was a better way and that I just dumped on this person and I wished I hadn’t done that. He asked if I felt better. Actually, I felt worse. Angry emotions surged through me. I was ready to roll some heads. Stress at it’s finest!

It has been said over time that those who hear voices are going mad. What about those who hear voices in their dreams? Are they mad also? How do we determine when we have heard the voice of the angels, and when we have received true guidance? One of the easiest things to do is to discount those voices we hear in our dreams, as just that, dreams. The truth about it is that we can easily learn to disce true guidance from egoic demands.

In the past I have written about the benefits of fish oil as a supplement for just about everyone. Omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oil are a currently darling of holistic medicine and for good reason – touted for their ability to reduce inflammation in all the cells throughout our body, omega-3 fatty acids (in correct ratio to the more commonly consumed omega 6’s) can aid in preventing, reducing, and reversing all sorts of ailments from heart disease to eczema, attention de

Everyone wants to be successful and have their dreams come true. We all set good goals and powerful intentions, but so often we don't know how to get there. Every time we try to pursue our deepest desire we stuck in a pattern of negative and repetitive behaviors that don't allow us to take the next step in our life.

The first step lies in understanding what desires really are.

Background: Most women have experienced PMS at some point or other in their lives, and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists estimate that up to 10% of women suffer from symptoms to such an extent that they report disruption to their everyday lives (known as PMDD – Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder). Given that this condition happens once a month means that there is great incentive for women to want to alleviate this condition. Definition:r

Ah, salt and sugar! We love these substances. Think about the numerous times you’ve depended on them, along with caffeine, to get you through the day? As an NYC nutritionist, I can’t tell you how many times my clients have told me that they’ve eaten a chocolate bars chock full of salted nuts as a snack, because it gave them the quick energy they needed. Refined salt (iodized) and sugar are substances capable of giving us quick boosts of taste and energy. Unfortunately, the energy bursts don't last for long and offers no real nutritional value.

Coconut Health Benefits - Try It! Previously, if you'd asked me "what are the health benefits of coconut oil? I'd have said "None."

How “your” Immune System Works & Overcoming Adrenal Exhaustion An army of millions of microscopic soldiers operates within you, each one ready to spring into battle against invading germs and to do sentry duty to prevent disease from occurring in the first place. How you feed these soldiers has a great influence on how well they protect you from germs and disease. Because of poor diets, many school-age children and adults have immune systems that don't operate at peak efficiency. They get sick more often. Here's how to have a well-nourished immune system.

Using foot and hand massage as a healing tool has been around, in varying forms, for centuries. In fact there is evidence in the form of illustrations that show the Ancient Egyptians used foot and hand massage as a way of activating the healing powers of the body. It was also a long established principle that energy lines ran through the body and, when these energy lines were clear, the person was in good health and, when they were blocked, the person suffered in one way or another.

Over the years, I’ve learned information, gained wisdom, and ultimately empowered myself to understand the potent effects of subconscious beliefs, mental processes, emotional energy, and spiritual connections. The guidelines I based my core daily life on became pretty consistent. I knew these were the “rules” I wouldn’t abandon and actually didn’t want to. I had already been there in fear, drama, controlling relationships, and financial worry, and I had no plans of returning.

There are 4 significant reasons why the majority of people fail to reach the level of financial abundance they truly desire: 1) Misconception they need to have money in order to make money (a common success myth) 2) They don’t know how to develop a success plan. They lack the training and education to increase their income, pay down debt and grow their savings effectively (and painlessly) 3) They don’t have access to people who have already achieved the results they want, and who are willing to show them how. 4) They have self-limiting beliefs about success and abundance.
