Fifteen years ago, we started researching and testing anti aging formulas. We tested high dose amino acid formulas and found them effective in the short run and very problematic in the medium and long run (amino sequence problems; deficiencies etc.).

I have been involved in martial arts for over 25 years. In all this time, the oddest martial art I have ever seen is Sumo.

It is also very educational from a nutritional perspective.r

The use of herbs and herbal medicine in general is a VERY complicated art and science. Western approaches have attempted to simply this by using this “Herb X is good for Problem Y” approach and it has met with varying degrees of success and problems. The reason is not the herb; it is improper use of the herb, improper use of the part of the herb or incorrect species that is often at the root of the problem. As mentioned, herbal medicine is a complex art and science and must be studied at length.

I was visiting my son, Chris, in the hospital. I found my way to the elevator in the Main Lobby and pressed the up button. The doors slid open and I stepped in. I pressed the button and the door opened. I thought someone must’ve pushed the elevator button outside. I looked and saw no one, so I pressed the button again and again the elevator stayed put and the doors opened. It took me one more try (in my defense it was early in the morning) before I realized that while I was on the Main Lobby level and wanted to get to the fifth floor, I kept pushing the ML button!

It always amazes me how great things can arise from difficult experiences. Like the Phoenix, light always shine more powerful than the dark. Such was the case a few weeks ago. My wife and I were struggling with some personal issues. It seems like every piece of news that we heard was negative. Our normally buoyant spirits were dropping like a lead balloon. It was out of character. It was damn scary, truth be told. A few days past and we finally began to see the light at the end of the tunnel. As our spirits lifted, an idea sprung forth.

I do a modified fast for 3 days every month. I’ve been doing this consistently for five or six years now. So that means that for about a month out of the year, I let my digestive system rest and cleanse my body. I try to use the time to also exercise my will – you know, it’s the time I tell my body who is boss! My appetite, feelings and desires have to take a back seat and do what I tell them to! I like the feeling of being in control of my body – NOT the other way around. This is THE best way to develop self-control and discipline.

How do they fit into your current reality? What Does It Look Like?r

Dear Money, I am writing this letter to you, a long overdue letter. It is time we get it out in the open, once and forever. This subtle, up-and-down non-sense has gone on long enough.
