    Comprehensive Coverage by CNN on ‘Toxic America’

    Comprehensive Coverage by CNN on ‘Toxic America’

    There was a very interesting program on CNN the other night that I found very refreshing. Their coverage of ‘Toxic America’ as they called it, was very extensive and offered hopeful alternatives as well as the scary chemical facts. It’s not often that I agree with so much of mainstream health and chemical press. So  Continue reading...

    News of the Weird – Dog Helps Man by Eating His Toe

    News of the Weird – Dog Helps Man by Eating His Toe

    You know how sometimes you hear about dogs being able to smell cancer on the breath of their people? Well, here’s a dog who appears to have used his impressive sniffer to detect the infected toe of one of his human family members, Michigan man Jerry Douthett. But instead of just sniffing it, Kiko, the  Continue reading...

    Bee Sting Remedy – Hail to the Onion!

    Bee Sting Remedy – Hail to the Onion!

    Going barefoot is one of the perks of summer. But it’s not without its risks. That was brought home today when I stepped on a bee/wasp of some sort. It’s one of those feelings you forget until you feel it again. Even without severe allergy dangers, there’s still that stab of burning pain that descends  Continue reading...

    Antibiotic Chloramphenicol in Chinese Imported Honey

    Antibiotic Chloramphenicol in Chinese Imported Honey

    We may live in a small world, but within that small world are many different sets of national regulations. Whether it’s lead or cadmium found in toys or glasses, or melamine plastic in pet food, we are all too often unwittingly exposed to things that shock us once we discover the truth. Now add imported  Continue reading...

    A Tripe Down Dog Food Lane

    A Tripe Down Dog Food Lane

    Given the popularity of a post a few months ago on green tripe for dogs (and cats), I thought today I’d look at dehydrated tripe treats. For years we’ve fed ground up frozen green tripe. I’ve even gotten more or less used to the distinctive ‘farm’ odour of the stuff. But only more recently have  Continue reading...

    Doctor’s Office Disinfectant – The Smell of Fear

    Doctor’s Office Disinfectant – The Smell of Fear

    White coat syndrome. That visceral, heart thumping, anxious, nerve-driven reaction that predictably pops up the second you see that tell-tale while lab coat. But wait, it starts before that doesn’t it? More like the second you first detect that smell. Just what is it about medical disinfectant? It just smells so, well, medical. So like  Continue reading...

    17th Century Predictions of Robert Boyle Came True

    17th Century Predictions of Robert Boyle Came True

    The Royal Society in London, England, is currently celebrating its 350th anniversary with an artifact exhibit which includes a fascinating Robert Boyle document. Scientist Robert Boyle was one of the society’s founders, but what makes him even more noteworthy is that he created a “wish list” of sorts in the 1660s, where he made a  Continue reading...

    Not Just Antioxidants – More Reasons to Eat Dark Chocolate

    Not Just Antioxidants – More Reasons to Eat Dark Chocolate

    What a glorious day, just found another reason to eat chocolate, the decadent treat so loved by many. While we’ve known for a while that dark chocolate is rich in antioxidants, not to mention flavour, did you know (in descending order*) it’s high in manganese, copper, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, zinc, and selenium? Just one  Continue reading...

    Bacterium in Dirt Makes Us Smarter and Happier

    Bacterium in Dirt Makes Us Smarter and Happier

    What do you know? It turns out digging in the dirt is even better for you than I thought. I love coincidences. Maybe it’s just the universe having fun with us, or maybe it’s a tool to help get a point across to us we might otherwise miss, were it not for those Twilight Zone  Continue reading...

    Coffee Cons Confuted

    Coffee Cons Confuted

    Yesterday I talked, well typed, about the many health advantages of coffee. Today I’d like to focus on the con side. Well, more accurately, the perceived con side. Aside from the fact that coffee, and other caffeinated beverages, are mostly water and therefore inherently hydrating, it’s been a long held belief that caffeinated beverages were  Continue reading...
