My very first visit ever with a chiropractor

The personal trainer who has been working with me at the fitness club is a recently graduated chiropractor, just a young guy about 26 years old.  He’s an athlete and rugby coach and has just been an exceptional trainer so I thought I would see him at his chiropractic clinic to see what else he could [...]

In case you think I’m always upbeat

… I’m not.
For several days, now, I’ve been feeling blue.  I don’t dwell on it, most people don’t even know about it.  I’m blogging about it because this is my journal, of sorts, for this health experience… You’re my kindest audience, because if you’re reading a blog on brain tumors, you know all about good [...]

It doesn’t do any good to do supplements but remain out of shape

My most recent revelation is that it does no good to take a “pill” if the rest of your lifestyle is just plain unhealthy.
I took a friend with me on a guest pass to the health club this week.  She was asking a trainer if the energy drinks contained caffeine, but she made the mistake [...]

Antibiotics, hormones, prozac — How about putting some water in our water supply?

I can’t say I was surprised by the levels of drugs in our nation’s water supply.  As someone trying to fight the causes of brain tumors naturally, I already knew about estrogen in water and how it was changing the sex of fish.  Besides, a few weeks ago, a doctor told someone I know to dump $1,000 [...]
