What to do When you Can’t Stomach It by by Jesse Stoff, MD

Digestive problems can occur for numerous reasons and many a book has been penned about them. These problems may occur from physiological changes, infections, inflammatory processes or more severe pathology. As usual, any problem that is new, severe, of rapid onset or accompanied by pain or blood in the stool should be checked out by your physician. Fortunately, most problems are of a functional nature. As we age, many things commonly happen to our digestive tract as our physiology changes. Things tend to slow down as our muscle mass and muscle tone decreases, so we need more roughage/fiber and water to compensate for these changes and keep things rolling along. Also, as we age, our stomach’s production of hydrochloric acid decreases as does our production of digestive enzymes by our pancreas. As a result we can develop symptoms of gas, bloating and indigestion as the good bacteria in our digestive tract are thrown out of balance by their changing environment. If we don’t digest our food well, it tends to putrefy and this will lead to a variety of systemic symptoms ranging from fatigue to achiness and headaches to say the least! Continue reading →

Dr Joe Dispenza on Creating Each Day

Dr. Joe Dispenza

“So, if we’re consciously designing our destiny, if we’re consciously, from a spiritual standpoint, throwing in the idea that our thoughts can affect our reality or affect our life, because reality equals life…, then, I have this little pact that I have when I create my day. I say to myself, I’m taking this time to create my day, and I’m infecting the Quantum Field. Now, if it is in fact [infecting my/the energy feld], the Observer’s watching me the whole time that I’m doing this, and there is a spiritual aspect to myself. Then, show me a sign today, that you paid attention to any one of these things that I created, and bring them in a way that I won’t expect.” ~ Dr Joe Dispenza, featured expert, People v. The State of Illusion

What would you do?

A year ago, Domino began taking medication after a friend witnessed her having a seizure on 3 separate occasions. Medication makes her too drowsy to drive. She is afraid she’ll have a seizure if she drives without it. Now her doctor has forbidden her to drive for 6 months. That leaves her with needing to get a ride to work and back. She is looking for another job and she needs to find another place to live as well. She feels vulnerable and backed into a corner. What would you suggest she do?

Real Housewives – Insecure Mean Girls Who Never Grew Up

I watched part of The Real Housewives of New York last night. I’d watched the first season or so but after that each episode dissolved into jealous envy and backbiting. It’s never fun for me to watch people arguing and trying to one-up each other. Of the NY show, Ramona seems to be the one who demands the most air time, so she’s always stirring up arguments with gossip. Lately she’s really got it out for Luann, pitting her against several of the others. Last night Ramona was in her glory as LuAnn brought Johnny Depp look alike Tomas to her room at 3am.

The problem with listening to music thru headphones is I get it nice and loud and really get into it and it’s too easy to forget I’m singing and dancing to something no one else can hear. Wait, that’s my life…

Jeffrey Austin Smith’s interview with Larry Dossey, MD, author of the book “Healing Words”

Jeffrey Austin Smith

My friend Jeffrey Smith is doing research for a book which involves the subject of prayer and how to use it. After seeing Dr Dossey on Oprah “Super Sunday”, Jeffrey contacted him about his book “Healing Words” and this is what he emailed back.

An interview with Larry Dossey, MD

Dr. Dossey, what is spirituality?

Dr. Larry Dossey http://www.dosseydossey.com

For me, it’s simply a sense of connectedness with a higher power — a reality beyond the self or ego. People have different terms for this, such as God, Goddess, Allah, the Tao, Universe, and so on. I favor “The Absolute,” because this term is refreshingly free from any particular religious connotation. Spirituality is not the same as religion, which involves specific behaviors, rituals, and beliefs, usually among a community of like-minded believers. People can be spiritual without being religious, and vice versa, or they can be both or neither.
