How to prevent the second most deadly cancer

How to prevent the second most deadly cancer

  March is “National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month.” Since colorectal cancer is second only to lung cancer in terms of deadliness, it’s good to be aware of it and more importantly, know how to prevent it. Colorectal cancer is rather personal to me since my Mom had it back in 1978 and ended up with a permanent colostomy as a result. When she was first diagnosed, it seemed so shocking to 15 year-old me, but...

5 Ways to Prevent Our Top 2 Killers

5 Ways to Prevent Our Top 2 Killers

  My, how February has risen in prominence. It used to be most well-known for Valentine’s Day and then in later years, Presidents Day.  (I guess you can count Groundhog Day too if you’d like—Punxsutawney Phil would be pleased.) Well, February has stepped up even more, because not only is it National Cancer Prevention Month, but it’s recognized as American Heart Month as well. Who knew that humble February—the month during which I would officially...

Why does the media ignore these COVID facts?

Why does the media ignore these COVID facts?

  If you are a bit “seasoned” like I am, you probably remember when the “news” was actually that—reporting on important information or events taking place, with no opinions, hidden agendas or slants.  Now?  It’s a fear-inducing psychological operation carried out by very well-trained, well-groomed actors, and COVID has been their choice of topic 24/7 for the last nearly two years. But if these script readers truly cared about reporting NEWS, how about telling people...

I have a secret to tell you

  I have a little secret to share with you. Today is my birthday, and not only that, this is my LAST birthday in the 50s. Gulp! And while knocking on the door of 60 may sound a little scary on the surface, I honestly feel great! I’m still running every week, doing full-contact karate sparring (fighting men), and enjoying a consistent high level of energy. Plus I recently got mistaken as my daughter’s sister...

Could this be the magic answer to a longer life?

Could this be the magic answer to a longer life?

  I am going to go out on a limb today and say that most of us don’t want a visit from the grim reaper anytime soon. As a matter of fact, I suspect what the majority of people would say when asked what’s most important to them is good health and a long life! Well, that’s certainly what our bodies were designed to achieve.  Nature did not intend for you to be diseased, medicated,...

What the media won’t tell you about sunscreens

What the media won’t tell you about sunscreens

  It has been said that there are two certainties in life—death and taxes. I’ll add one more onto that—the fact that advertising works.  Very well. One motivator in particular that has been shown to work like a charm in the media is FEAR! There’s nothing quite like scaring the beejuzus out of someone, then selling a product as the magic answer to protect them from the dreaded outcome. And when it comes to sunscreens,...
