Disrupting A Good Night’s Sleep Can Wreak Havoc On Your Life
Friday, April 29th, 2011
Does it matter when you sleep, if you get your required eight hours of sleep? What about people who work at night? Do they function as well as people who work during the day and sleep at night?
I don’t think so. Nature intended us to rise and go to sleep with the sun. We are supposed to use the night hours for relaxation. But for many people society dictates different lifestyle. Many careers, from bus drivers to doctors, can require that you get your zzzzz’s when most of us aren’t sleeping.

Is There Such a Thing as A Healthy Fight?
Friday, April 15th, 2011
Do you believe in a good healthy argument? Sometimes, do you feel closer to your mate after a fight? Is that your relationship getting stronger?
Take for example, the old cliché about make-up sex. Everyone knows that sex is always better after you have just made up from a fight. Why is that? Is it because of the relief you feel of getting over something emotionally? Is it a way to take out the anger and frustration you feel you couldn’t explain, in a passionate way? Or maybe it’s something chemical, your pumping adrenaline, or something more that leads to an overall better sexual experience. Continue reading “Is There Such a Thing as A Healthy Fight?” »

Antidepressants Do Not Prevent Suicide
Tuesday, July 27th, 2010
Even though antidepressants are much more often prescribed today, and mostly to the baby boomer generation, the statistics show that the rate of suicide among those between 45-54 are still the highest. Why is that? Shouldn’t easier accessibility and more drugs be solving our problems.
Actually, instead, it proves the point exactly, that medication and magic pills don’t really solve everything.
WHY BEAUTY TREATMENTS FAIL AND HOW TO GET YOUR BEAUTY BACK NATURALLY
Thursday, July 8th, 2010Are you frustrated with beauty treatments because you spend a lot of money and still don’t look younger? Do you still have sagging skin and wrinkles you cannot hide with makeup? Do you feel tired because of sleepless nights, insomnia and mood swings?

You are not ready to think of yourself as old, yet.

You need to know the reason for wrinkles to treat them appropriately.”

Why Depression Medication Fails Us
Tuesday, June 15th, 2010Depression is a very serious subject and by no means does any doctor, functional, holistic or alternative, downplay the seriousness of what depression can cause. The symptoms of depression are vast, from physical to mental to emotional. The effects are devastating on it’s victims, families, careers, children and futures. Suicide is the most awful ending to depression, but it is not the most common at all.
