Juice Fasting for Psoriasis
If you have or know someone with psoriasis, this post may be of interest to you. If not, I apologize for posting something with a rather narrow focus on a site that’s usually very general. But if you’ve struggled with psoriasis, as I have for many years, any suggestions or ideas are usually welcome. So [...]
Free Reiki Book Coming Soon
Apologies to everyone for my vacation from blogging. In addition to having to attend to several family issues, I’ve been working on a new set of books on Reiki. I’m hoping to have the level one Reiki book ready within the next few weeks, and I intend to offer it, along with an audio-file attunement, [...]
Michael Pollan
Michael Pollan is the Knight Professor of Journalism at UC Berkeley. He is also one of the most interesting and persuasive writers about food, nutrition, agriculture and nature available. I first ran into Michael listening to the Omnivore’s Dilemma. I’m not sure quite why I picked the book up, but I’m glad I did. What [...]
Food Rules
In writing his latest two books, Food Rules and the earlier In Defense of Food, author and professor Michael Pollan had a surprising revelation. With most of his previous (well-researched) books, he found that subjects that seemed to be simple on the surface turned out to be more complx and ambiguous when you looked into [...]
In Defense of Reiki Healing
I don’t do a lot of debating on alternative therapies. I got tired of the “my study is better than your study” sort of discussion. But when I recently discussed my problem with homeopathy, one of the responses challenged me to apply the same logic to Reiki. I’m an Usui Reiki master, although I’m not [...]
My Problem with Homeopathy
I’m very much into alternative and holistic health and healing. I’m a Reiki master and practice other healing modalities as well. I’m also very much an advocate of nutritional and herbal medicine. However, in spite of having a lot of friends who either practice homeopathy or use homeopathic medicine, I can’t really get on board. [...]
Stay in Bed
Sleep that knits up the ravelled sleeve of care The death of each day’s life, sore labour’s bath Balm of hurt minds, great nature’s second course, Chief nourisher in life’s feast. – William Shakespeare, Macbeth Another insight from the new book Nurtureshock is that one of the biggest issues with children and teens today is [...]
Eat to Live
I’ve mentioned Dr. Joel Fuhrman’s book Eat To Live in several posts, but I realize I’ve never actually written a full review of it. That situation needs to be fixed, because this is my favorite diet and nutrition book of all time (so far at least). I ran into this book when I was having [...]
Amazing Raw Vegan Chocolate Mousse
We’ve been trying to stick to a healthier diet for the new year. The other night, my daughter fixed a dessert we’ve been dying to try every since we saw the recipe in Jennifer Cornbleet’s book Raw Food Made Easy. It’s raw vegan chocolate mousse. How can you make a chocolate mousse without cream, butter [...]
The Joy and Benefit of Singing
I had another interesting insight listening to a Tony Robbins CD. Robbins was describing a breathing exercise he sets great store by. It consisted of breathing in deeply for a count of seven, then hold it for a count of 28, then exhale for a count of 14. This is done ten times in a [...]
