Believe it or not distilled water is a very controversial subject. Many people, such as myself, suggest drinking distilled water to keep from ingesting possibly harmful toxins. Others suggest that the natural nutrients in water are super-beneficial and by removing them from water, we are also removing the benefits of drinking it. Distilled water is made when you evaporate the water and then condense the vapor. The disadvantage is that it is devoid of any minerals, while drinking water, lets say from a stream, contains microelements.My point here is that the amount of minerals you really get from water is so minimal, that you have to take supplements anyway, so why take the risk of getting the toxins into your system as well? Another point is... »View More
It seems like a simple question. Do you drink too much alcohol? But one person’s social drinking may be someone else’s too much. So how can you tell if you’re drinking too much and what exactly is drinking too much? First, we need to decide on what is a drink – what drinks are equivalent to each other. Generally, in North America, a standard drink is one that has about 0.6 fluid ounces of pure alcohol. But how much that is in your drink depends on what it is you are drinking. Generally, standard drinks are: • 12 oz beer • 5 oz wine • 3-4 oz of fortified wine (such as port) • 2-3 oz liqueur or aperatif • 1.5 oz brandy or hard liquor Does any of that surprise you? If you drink mixed... »View More
I sit here late at night on a cold and rainy midnight, readjusting my fingers to the Macintosh’s keyboard. I am not yet ready to hunker down into the partial hibernation that one goes into in the winter time. I look for color when the outer world is drained of it. Today there are maples whose color is so full of flame that the sight of them startles you even when you are expecting to see them. The boiler is clanking away down in the basement, and now the house feels like the inside of a great tea kettle just about to boil. Satchel the Cat was visiting the vet’s today — his stomach has been bothering him a bit, Buck says, but he eats just fine when I feed him. I might think that he was going to miss summer as much as I do, but he never... »View More
And they taste pretty good too! In an age of pharmaceuticals we tend to forget that there are things like herbal teas that can help improve our diabetes. Herbal teas are gaining popularity in the United States and this could be due to the infusion of Western and Eastern Medicine techniques being blended together more often. So what type of herbs are in herbal teas for diabetes control? There are a few but I’m going to give you the two most popularly utilized herbal teas for diabetes control. Bilberry Tea – Never heard of it? Well maybe you know the Bilberry by it’s more popular American name of the Huckleberry. Bilberry herbal tea is known as the most effective herbal tea in aiding diabetes for those who are not insulin dependent.... »View More
Yes, alcoholism is a disease. The craving that an alcoholic feels for alcohol can be as strong as the need for food or water. An alcoholic will continue to drink despite serious family, health, or legal problems. Like many other diseases, alcoholism is chronic, meaning that it lasts a person’s lifetime; it usually follows a predictable course; and it has symptoms. The risk for developing alcoholism is influenced both by a person’s genes and by his or her lifestyle. The only treatment for alcoholism is complete abstinence which a lot of alcoholics find hard to do. Sobriety can start at the entrance to an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting.

Teens and alcohol have long been a source of concern for many parents – and adults in general. Different cultures believe different things and even legal ages for alcohol consumption change according to where you are. I live in Quebec where the legal age is 18, while our neighboring province Ontario’s legal age is 19. At the same time, an hour south of us, across the Canada/United States border, the age is 21. (One thing I can’t figure out is why you can allow an 18-year-old to own a gun, join the army, get married, vote, buy a house, etc, but he or she can’t have a drink?). Anyway, since there are such differences in beliefs about teens and alcohol, there are on-going studies to see if there are ways to see what may... »View More
A lot of the change that comes about through processes like psychotherapy (or even just reading a self-help article or book and trying to put those ideas into effect in your life) requires forming new habits. Habits of thinking differently, of reacting differently, of behaving differently. And it can be a frustrating process as you wait for these changes to take effect and become more automatic, as habits do. How long does it take to form a new habit? A week? A month? A year? At least 2 months (or about 66 days, on average), according to the research. Jeremy Dean over at PsyBlog the other week wrote a great entry that looked at what the research tells us about how long it takes us to form a new habit: Although the average was 66 days, there... »View More
