Are You Attracting Health or Disease?
Natural Health Care and The Law of Attraction

Americans spend more money on health care than any other nation on the face of the planet (over 15% of our entire nation’s expenditures). While we comprise only 5% of the world’s population, half of all the drug prescriptions in the world are taken by Americans. A big part of our problem is that we are more focused on disease than we are on health. Changing our focus could go along way to improving our health.

For a Higher Quality of Life Invest In Your Health

Most of us spend a great deal of time and energy looking out for our financial well-being. We take out insurance policies to protect ourselves from accidents and unforeseen difficulties. We may save or invest for a “rainy day” or start a retirement account to provide for our old age. Unfortunately, many people fail to invest in their most important asset—their own health and well-being.

It's true that people have "health" insurance, but this should really be called disease insurance, since it is really designed to provide for disease treatment when you get sick. Investing in your health means investing in things that help you stay healthy in the first place. This article gives you some "investment tips" for genuine health insurance.

Protecting Yourself from the

Thoughts on what is really needed to reform health care in this country.

Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States and it is certainly linked to our poor diet, exposure to environmental toxins and sedentary lifestyle.  However, the heart is also a seat of emotion and our inability to deal with our emotional heart in a healthy way is also a major contributing factor to heart disease.  Fortunately, our green friends the herbs can help both the physical and the emotional aspects of heart problems. 

A parody on American Pie by Don McLean about drug companies and herbs.  It's not a finished work.  I was searching for a file on my computer and found this piece which was actually started in August of 2002.  I liked it, so I added a little more to it and I'm posting it here, just for fun.  Maybe someday I'll finish the whole piece.  (It needs two more verses to match the original.)

A Dose of Common Sense is
All That's Needed to Use
Herbs and Supplements Safely

Just prior to the turn of this past century, herbs were enjoying some very positive press. When I wrote this article, a period of favorable coverage of herbs and natural healing in the press had just ended.  The media praise botanical medicines enjoyed in the late 1990s turned negative again.

Forgive me for being cynical, but do you ever get the feeling that the news media is out to keep everybody in a constant state of fear?  Yes, it's true that we could have an epedemic of the flu or some other contagious disease.  It's also true that disasters can strike at any time.  But if we're prepared with the right supplies, and the right attitude, there's no reason to be afraid.

Chronic Pain Relief:
A Tribute to Dr. C. Samuel West

In my Fundamentals of Natural Healing course, I talk a lot about reversing the pain of injuries by using techniques like pressure, massage and rapid-light stroking. However, as I've been working on a generic book on the same topic, I remembered that I'd left out something very important. I realized that I hadn't addressed the value of these techniques for relieving chronic pain, such as arthritis pain. When I remembered the experience I had with my knee, I realized that it was quite a remarkable story, one that dramatically demonstrates the value of these techniques. So, I'd like to share it with you.
