Healthy And Simple

Most of us want to be better. We want to look better, hence the billion dollar beauty product industry, not to mention the surgical options for body enhancement. We not only want to look better, but we want to be better people too. We want to break what we consider to be […]

A man goes in to see a proctologist.
The doctor talks to him for a few minutes, hears his description of his problem, and says “OK, let me write this prescription for a new medication for you”. He reaches into his pocket but there’s no pen, only a rectal thermometer.
“Oh my lord” the doctor says “Some […]

A basic rule of science is ‘what goes in must come out’. Then there’s that other rule, ‘garbage in, garbage out’. But if the findings from one of the leading international cancer conference are true, then we might have to add a third rule; ‘what goes in, comes out as garbage’.
