Surprising causes (and effective answers) for depression

Surprising causes (and effective answers) for depression

  According to the World Health Organization (WHO), currently 280 million people worldwide suffer from depression.  Here in the US, about one out of five of us has reported symptoms of depression, and those numbers are not going down, my friend.    The causes and contributing factors behind depression can run the gamut, and include the death of a loved one, job loss, divorce, trauma, being the victim of a crime, nutrient deficiencies or a severe...

The shocking truth about prescription drug use

The shocking truth about prescription drug use

  As I walked by the pharmacy counter in my local grocery store recently, I noticed that the line to pick up prescriptions was longer than any of the food check-out lines.  That should tell you something.  Now, certainly medications are needed at times, but when it gets to the point where most of us are drugged every single day, many times taking multiple medications, something is seriously wrong.  And a big force behind this...

Stop using artificial sweeteners! Here’s why.

My Veteran’s Day message to you

My Veteran’s Day message to you

  Today we celebrate Veteran’s Day, and while it may be easy to merely see it as a day off for some people, its meaning is much deeper than that.    Were it not for the incredibly brave and selfless men and women who were willing to fight and sacrifice their lives for our freedoms, our lives would likely look very different today.  And even if these courageous service men and women were fortunate enough to...

Why are we seeing so much aggression and violence?

Why are we seeing so much aggression and violence?

  This question popped into my head as I was driving north on I-95 the other day and witnessed at least five instances of road rage or extremely aggressive driving.  I swear in one case it looked like a car was trying to run another one off the road! Of course acts of aggression and violence are not limited to people driving on highways.  Practically every day there are reports of another shooting, mass shooting,...
