Almost every Saturday Kate and I go to the farmer’s market in Santa Monica and eat raw oysters on the half shell.

It’s like accupunture combined with a computer. Electrodermal screening works to diagnose disease by measuring the skin’s electrical resistance. It detects energy imbalances along acupuncture meridians. Watching him [...]

I’ve written about maca before but I just can’t say enough about it. I already wrote about what it’s done for my PMS symptoms (eradicated them!). I reported a while back that my temperature has been chronically low. Since April, I’ve been taking Iodoral and adrenal gland to help my thyroid and adrenal glands. I [...]

As I’ve mentioned on this blog before, I suffer from adrenal exhaustion. I’m sure it was caused by the high-stress work I used to do in advertising, compounded by my coffee addiction (which I’ve now kicked — thanks, Dandy Blend!).
