What to do for the Uninsured?
Thanks to Eric for asking this question. I’ll try to be short but you asked for it. This is a big topic. PLEASE, forgive typos, I am in a hurry. Yes, I always think about and have positive suggestions for what I criticize. So, here goes:
First repeal ObamaCare completely. It is not about healthcare, it is about government control over people’s lives. The government that controls the...

ObamaCare Summary
This quote does the best job of summing up ObamaCare I have ever read.
“Let’s get this straight. We’re going to be ‘gifted’ with a healthcare plan we are forced to purchase, and fined if we don’t, which purportedly covers at least 10 million more people without adding a single doctor, but provides for 16,000 new IRS agents, written by a committee whose chairman says he doesn’t understand it,...
GMO Toxins Found in Human's Blood
Canadian researchers, of course what do they know? only our FDA and USDA researchers can really asses GMO safety according to out government’s current (Obama) administration and the rest of the world should just trust USDA Sec.Tom Vilsack, but just the same,
scientists from the University of Sherbrooke, Canada have detected the insecticidal protein Cry1Ab in the blood streams of pregnant...

Richie Hayward - RIP
A great musician has left us. Richie Hayward, co-founder and drummer of the jam band Little Feat passed over from pneumonia August 12 while waiting for a liver transplant. Guess he didn’t have the status or money of David Crosby or Phil Lesh. Or maybe it just wasn’t to be. Little Feat lived hard & played hard. They were a musician’s band.
Richie was originally from Ames,...

Self Love
Someone has declared July as Self-Love Month. Why only July I ask ? But if you have to pick one, why not this one I guess? Here are the 5 points of the Self-Love Star. 1. SELF-WORTH- Fill your own cup first. When you have a full cup you can be generous with others. Ask: Do I value my needs? Do I prioritize “me” time? 2. SELF-NURTURING- Nourish yourself. Ask: How do I love myself...

Beware the MTBOK my Friends - Part 2
More on the MTBOK - I received these questions from a colleague. They are good questions and of course I give excellent, educational answers. I thought it was worth sharing with those of you who care. If you are not in the massage or healthcare profession, this won’t mean much to you. The previous post contains introductory info on the MTBOK if you are...

Royalty & Serfs
NOTE - WARNING: This post is going to be pretty heavy, too long, and probably disturbing to most. Unless you are a bit of a philosopher and enjoy political theory, history, and analysis, you probably won’t like this and best just not bother to read it, or just read to the first and the last three paragraphs.
As I travel about “Jolly ole England” I see thousands of years of...
From Across the Ocean
I am currently in Edinburgh, Scotland. I was in London last weekend. I leave home and look what happens. Just like the Liberals passed the income tax amendment to the Constitution against the will of the people, on a weekend, using procedural technicalities, this past weekend, they did the same to get healthcare through.
Now understand, I am all for healthcare reform. I am one of the 14 -...

You Are What you Eat
Our diets have changed more in the last 50 years than in the previous 500. So has our health, it being different than longevity. Our food supply has been invaded by Food, Inc. - The cartel of the giant agri-processors, pharmaceutical-chemical companies, and the government. They want us to eat lots of chemicals on/in food, grown with lots of chemicals, that has a long shelf life. This generates...
Social Media
I have committed to become active in the social media arena after being passive with a facebook listing for about a year. This is my first post, made while taking a class. Future posts will be on health, politics, medical, sports, & chair massage and whatever else I feel like writing about.
