My Last Sermon! I hope

I should admit, up front, that I am on a bit of a rant again today. I am still hoping that each of you will make an effort to achieve optimum health and benefit from all of the rewards. I have a son who was told by an oncologist this a.m. that the most that could be accomplished by treating his liver cancer would be to prolong his life. There are several reasons that infuriates me. One is that the worst thing we can ever do for a person is to take away their hope. Our hope is always such a h

Don't believe a word I say until you evaluate it.

This will likely be my longest blog ever, and maybe my last if Kyle and Carson give me the boot. The only reason I am writing this is that I am becoming seriously concerned about a number of people I have become fond of during my time here. Since I have spent 55 yrs. studying in the medical field and about our bodies I feel sure I am biased and probably overly protective. I realize that this is a site designed to help people reach their financial goals and that is a great way to help people im

Wealthy Affiliates:Help our President

To achieve optimum health requires being comfortable financially. One of our President's missions is to redistribute wealth in the U.S. Citizens of all countries can help. In 2015 if each of us brings about the transfer of some money from the bank accounts of others to ours that will be a huge first step! Then when we have more than we need for our families we can use some of it to help others find ways to transfer some to their accounts and the effect can snowball so that by 2020 we can re

Don't be a Wealthy Unhealthy WAer!

I hope each of you will become a wealthy WAer and will also want to achieve optimum health along the way!. Either, without the other, is of limited benefit and pleasure. Achieving either is relatively simple, but not easy. Some of the necessities for wealth are: Always live on less than your income. That means learning to distinguish between your wants and your needs. Spend as little of your income as possible on things that decrease in value. Learn about interest. When it is beneficial and w

To Juice or Not to Juice To Achieve Optimum Health

In medical and nutritional circles this subject is the topic of a lot of conversations which means that there is probably not one single answer. I think it is the same answer the elderly gentleman gave the young clothing salesman that asked him if he wore boxer shorts or briefs. His answer: Depends Depends on whether your goal is to achieve optimum health or whether you will be happy with pretty good health or whether your goal is just to be up and about and able to take care of most of your

You do not need to exercise:

Unless you want to achieve optimum health or at least good health there may not really be a good reason for you to exercise. Despite the fact that our bodies are the results of many generations of physically active people we may have pretty decent health as very sedentary folks, at least until middle age or later. Our ancestors did not need to go to the gym or health club (none of which existed) because they were up and active daily taking care of life's necessities. A day of gathering food,

Do You Want to Change Groups?

Some of you know that my passion is to help you to achieve optimum health. One of the advantages of having a learning disability is that we are forced to learn to simplify things. You know sort of an A,B,C or 1,2,3 sort of thing. I keep saying over and over again and again that being or becoming healthy is usually quite simple....but not easy. So why is it not easy to be healthy or even to: Achieve Optimum Health? Or, for that matter, even just good health? My opinion is this. W

Are You Really Sure You Want to Live Longer?

Medical research in both animals and humans indicates strongly that it is really possible in most cases. That is the good news. The bad news is that it seems to be like everything else that is valuable and worthwhile to us. There is a price to pay. Now we can get serious and get down to the nitty gritty and a healthy decision making process. More good news is that if we get a handle on this process we can use it in so many areas of our life. Whether to do this or that, whether to co

How to Lose Wealth, Love and Happiness

Hilda's blog on 8/29 on "The Joy of Doing What We Need to Do" and the exchange between her and Christabelle started me on a train of thought. Like Christabelle, I am a flower lover and they provide a significant part of my daily "warm fuzzies". In Oklahoma we have a short growing season so we see a rapid transition from seed to plant to bud to bloom to fade and replacement by the next beautiful flower. Like our own life, we can influence that some by having it in the best environment for it,

The Importance of how we treat each other

Since I plan to be writing blogs related to how to achieve optimum health I am feeling that, for purposes of clarification, I should share some personal information. When my family was going through a painful and prolonged divorce my youngest son(age 7) was having some serious problems in school. Some very thorough testing revealed a moderately severe learning disability. When I asked the Dr. about the cause he said it was genetic and that he had inherited it from me. So, what I had was a h
