Things We Say Wrong

On Orthomolecular Nutrition

I have recently added the book "Putting it all Together, The New Orthomolecular Nutrition" by Abram Hoffer, M.d, Ph.D and Morton Walker, D.P.M to my ever growing list of books I have read and found their content to be very informative.

In this book the authors discuss different vitamins and minerals, their benefits to us and some of the physical issues that result from our modern unbalanced diets.

Don't let the name "Orthomolecular" scare you off. Although Drs. Abram Hoffer and Morton Walker do discuss things somewhat on a molecular level, you don't need to already be a Doctor or Scientist to read and understand what they wrote. The authors' intent was to explain this information in such away that the everyday person could pick up this book and use the information they learned to help themselves and their families attain better health.

Two of My Fav Looks from Ann Taylors New Fall Line

I love both of these fall layered looks by Ann Taylor they both have an air of simplicity, versatility and comfort without sacrificing style, modesty or femininity.

The first with its simple lines and colors, the layering of solid sweater over striped long-sleeve tee not only gives dimension to the outfit but gives you the comfort of the "Big comfy sweater" that we all love in this cooler weather, without the bulk on your arms. A great everyday look... or add a long two string necklace, bracelet and and a black purse to dress it up for a trip to Starbucks or a day out with the girls.

The second look has much the same going for it as the first. The eggshell white has a fresh look, and the longer waistline of the sweater acts as a sliming effect smoothing out the illusion of the bold line drawn, when a shirt falls at the "in-curve" of the waist and meets the new color and texture of the new material of your bottoms, at the "out-curve" of the hips.
And who doesn't love a scarf? The matching scarf and flats really tie the outfit together and set it off

nicely

I Completely Agree...

This article has been circulating around on Facebook and I thought I would repost it here for the benefit of all of you who ether haven't seen it yet or who aren't on Facebook. It is a very clear yet sadly concise summary of the state of our culture

By Richard Meckstroth

Pictured is a young physician by the name of Dr. Roger Starner Jones. His short two-paragraph letter to the White House accurately puts the blame on a "Culture Crisis" instead of a "Health Care Crisis"..

It's worth a quick read:


Dear Mr. President:
During my shift in the Emergency Room last night, I had the pleasure of evaluating a patient whose smile revealed an expensive shiny gold tooth, whose body was adorned with a wide assortment of elaborate and costly tattoos, who wore a very expensive brand of tennis shoes and who chatted on a new cellular telephone equipped with a popular R&B ringtone.


While glancing over her patient chart, I happened to notice that her payer status was listed as "Medicaid"! During my examination of her, the patient informed me that she smokes more than one pack of cigarettes every day, eats only at fast-food take-outs, and somehow still has money to buy pretzels and beer. And, you and our Congress expect me to pay for this woman's health care? I contend that our nation's "health care crisis" is not the result of a shortage of quality hospitals, doctors or nurses. Rather, it is the result of a "crisis of culture" a culture in which it is perfectly acceptable to spend money on luxuries and vices while refusing to take care of one's self or, heaven forbid, purchase health insurance. It is a culture based in the irresponsible credo that "I can do whatever I want to because someone else will always take care of me". Once you fix this "culture crisis" that rewards irresponsibility and dependency, you'll be amazed at how quickly our nation's health care difficulties will disappear.

Respectfully,
ROGER STARNER JONES, MD
If you agree...pass it on.
