You cannot expect to have a good attitude when all of your thoughts tell you that life is ... more...

We know that our environment is toxic. Aside from these toxins, free radicals, which we produce with our energy exposed to these toxins, are also everywhere.

The older adult population in the U.S. is exploding. Starting in 2010, we will see 10,000 people turn 65, each and every day, for the next 20 years.

When doing a whole body detox many people forget that the spirit is also an important part of the body and the detoxification process. Negative thought processes build stress; stress in turn creates a negative impact on the body's ability to function ultimately leading to an increase in toxins within the body. This is why it is important to include not just the processes that cover flushing out the internal physical parts of the body, putting in the fuel necessary to get these organ... more...

When many of us are young we prefer to do what we ... more...
