 On Quality Supplements

When you are advised that "all you need is a good balanced diet", consider two points: 1) crops are not as nutrient rich as they once were, and 2) we absorb fewer nutrients as we age. 

Consider quality supplements.

 The 41st Wellness

Pain Control, whose stylized symbol is White Lightning Bolt. I am comfortable.

Often when our pain seems to go chronic, if we take half an otc pain pill, the pain disappears and doesn't come back. Pain is not good for us. Inflammation raises cancer risk and raises blood pressure and all sorts of bad developments. I guess.

But Advil will destroy our kidneys in short order. My husband's cardiologist told him, if he MUST have something for pain, to take otc Tylenol as sparingly as possible.

The person I admire is U.S. senator John McCain

The personality I admire is Mother Nature

 I like Manslow's "Hierarchy of Needs" and Erikson's "Stages of Development" okay, but I'm a bigger fan of George Carlin's "Life in Reverse" ideas. 

I can't find the video but he said something like: that life should begin with the agony of death and get all that pain and suffering over with. Then life should continue in this happy reverse trajectory and end as we all began, with the ecstatic culmination of the socks act.

 A healthy bowel movement is enclosed within a biofilm. There should be little or no mess to wipe away.
