There’s a health issue that doctors like to call a “neurodevelopment disorder.” It’s also known as Autism Spectrum Disorder, or ASD. And it can seriously affect a person’s ability to focus, or communicate, or recognize loved ones. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy can provide some relief for ASD. But before I talk any more about hyperbaric oxygen therapy… What causes ASD? Apparently … The rest of the story…

Almost 10 years ago I wrote an article on why you should live well and be well. And I shared how it’s not just a mantra. Or a greeting. Or some line in a Star Trek movie. And I think the information I talked about is even more relevant now. Because, well…da ‘Vid. Duh. (remind me to tell you about … The rest of the story…
OK, it’s a new day. And this is the day to get started on your life, if you haven’t already. I’m talkin’ about your abundant life. The life that’s yours for the asking. But seriously, get started today. Because tomorrow is too late. And that’s a guarantee. You absolutely can’t do a darn thing about yesterday. It’s gone. Let it … The rest of the story…
Doubt and worry. Yeah, they show up, a lot, when guys and girls first experience “love.” Because, when you’re young, with a brain full of crazy ideas, and a body full of hyped-up hormones, you don’t tend to make the best choices. Of course, there’s a better way to deal with doubt and worry and love. But I’ll get to … The rest of the story…
“There’s been a global oblivion to the idea of treating Covid 19.” That’s a quote from Dr. Peter McCullough, who was a guest on Tucker Carlson’s show. He also said patients wanna know, “Dr, what happens if or when I get Covid 19?” And he went on to say how much of this mask and vaccination culture is “fear driven.” Which, … The rest of the story…
Adrenal glands. Oh yeah, now we’re talking about some pretty exciting stuff. And I bet when you got up this morning the first thought you had, after your coffee kicked in, was “Where can I find me some stimulatin’ adrenal conversation?” Never fear, I’ve got your adrenal glands gossip right here. First, let’s talk about the easy-to-understand stuff. Like the … The rest of the story…
A few years ago I felt like a man of dust. Because I did some handyman work in addition to my ad writing, copywriting, and website building business. I was getting established in a new city after living in another city for over 20 years. And the client connections didn’t materialize fast enough for me to rely on what I’d … The rest of the story…
Quite a few years ago, Elgielene got into essential oils. And when I say “got into,” I mean learning about them, using them, and even reselling them. She bought them for the aromas, the topical benefits, and even for taking internally. So, we had (and still have) bottles of essential oils, droppers, and diffusers. If you’ve never used essential oils … The rest of the story…
Life can feel so dark and dreary when you’re focused on self all the time. And it’s so easy to focus on self when you live alone. And it’s so easy to end up alone when you’re not willing to work through the tough times, in relationships, and rely on the light of God’s word to help you. But when … The rest of the story…
“A healthy lifestyle is the slowest form of death.” That quote always makes me smile. It’s funny because it’s ironic truth. But I don’t think most Americans have anything to worry about. Have you seen those lines at the fast food restaurants? Apparently there are plenty of people who’d just as soon take the faster forms of death. But then … The rest of the story…
If you were born after about 1964, you might not remember “wild hickory nuts.” And even if you remember, you might not care. But I’d like to share a little something about Euell Gibbons. Euell Gibbons ate some Grape-Nuts and said, “Reminds me of wild hickory nuts.” And you say, “So what. Don’t know the guy. Never met him.” But … The rest of the story…
So, maybe before I shared this with you, you didn’t know there was such a thing as an ironic beard. Don’t feel left out or less hip. Because I didn’t either…which is ironic. (psst…I have a beard) But through some odd search results, for an entirely different topic, I found out about “hipster facial hair.” Apparently there was (and is?) … The rest of the story…
You and I live in an atmosphere full of germs. And it’s been that way on good ol’ planet Earth for your whole life. Doesn’t matter how old you are. Bacteria, viruses, and all their little germ cousins are everywhere. And here’s a real kicker. They’re even setting up homes in your mask of death. “Whoa, mask of death?! That … The rest of the story…
Apparently the idea of good vibrations dates all the way back to ancient Greece. A few years back I got on a whole body vibration machine. And I think those Greeks were on to something. Because, even though I didn’t try to count and see if my muscles contracted and relaxed 30 times each second, it sure felt like it. And … The rest of the story…
I’ve always believed it’s a good idea to be nice to nurses. And doctors and other medical practitioners. Because they have to see and deal with a lot of the ugly side of life. And death. But especially be nice to nurses. Just imagine having the job of caring for people who moan and groan. And complain and gripe. … The rest of the story…
If Thanksgiving turkey wasn’t such a normal part of this holiday every year, just think how many turkeys would never have even been born…uh…hatched. But tell that to the living turkeys and see if it makes them more thankful. My guess is… No Thanksgiving turkey gives it a second thought either way. And that’s because those birds don’t tend to … The rest of the story…
Little kids can be so cruel. Makes you wonder where they get it. Right? And it’s always been that way. In fact, I remember, waaayyy back in the 20th century, when I was but a wee lad, kids would taunt other kids who cried about something. And if you listen real close, you might even hear ’em. “Crybaby crybaby na … The rest of the story…
Some of my wacky friends (and in this case, wacky is a term of endearment) are on that keto diet thing. And it’s been around long enough I’m sure you know it’s a low-carb, high-fat and high-protein diet. And that’s just a simplification description. So, don’t send me messages about the finer points. Because I’m not here to tell anybody … The rest of the story…
R.A.D.S. Last week that acronym came up in my life. And if you’ve dealt with it, you know what a nuisance (at best) it can be. The letters stand for “Reactive Airways Disease Syndrome.” But regardless of what you call it, I can tell you it’s absolutely no fun when you can’t breathe normally. You don’t know how vital … The rest of the story…
Woke up after only one hour of sleep last night. And I quietly dragged myself out to the living room where I was greeted, with glee, by Sleepy Man. One of the most dastardly, sinister, and passive aggressive villains you’ll ever encounter. Because I’m not even sure he understands he’s a villain. And Sleepy Man doesn’t have super powers. He … The rest of the story…
